VIPER CARTEL
A sleek black SUV rolled up the driveway, its engine humming softly before dying into silence. Venom stepped out of the back seat, his expression unreadable. He cast a brief glance at the unconscious girl slumped inside — a captive he neither needed nor planned to deal with. Not yet.
Without a word, he turned and headed toward the main entrance of the compound when one of the boys approached him.
"Where should we keep her, sir?" the boy asked, struggling slightly as he lifted the limp girl over his shoulder.
"Put her in the prison grounds," Venom replied in his usual cold tone, not bothering to look back as he disappeared through the doors.
"Yes, sir," the boy muttered, falling into step as he carried the girl away — her body dangling like a broken doll.
Prison
The door opened wide enough for the boy to enter with the girl. He dropped her hard on the ground half expecting her to wake up. She did half groaning, half bleeding.
The boy looked at her for a while and trotted out of the prison locking the door behind him.

VENOM'S ROOM
The room was dim, shadows dancing on the walls as the door creaked open. Venom stepped in—tall, terrifying, and cold as ice. He didn't spare a glance around the space as he tossed his coat to the side, his dark shirt clinging to his broad shoulders. His movements were smooth, calculated, like a man who owned the world and feared nothing in it.
He wasn't surprised to find someone waiting for him.
Sprawled across his bed like a cat on silk sheets was Selina, his so-called girlfriend. At least, that's what everyone believed. She's like female boss in the clan, most people respects and fear her a lot She wore a skin-tight black slip dress that shimmered slightly under the lights. One leg crossed over the other, a slow smirk painted on her red lips, and eyes full of something between arrogance and hunger.
She smiled, seductive and confident.
"Long day?" her voice was soft, tempting.
Venom didn't answer. He poured himself a drink, sitting in the armchair with a blank stare. He didn't even look her way.
Annoyed but not defeated, she got up, walking slowly behind him. Her hands slid over his shoulders, massaging gently, fingers working into the tension.
"You work too hard, baby," she whispered, lowering her lips to his ear, kissing the lobe softly.
Venom's hand snapped up like lightning.
He caught her wrist and twisted it just slightly, enough to make her gasp.
"Touch me again…" His voice was low, dangerous. "And I'll bury your body where no one will ever find it."
She froze.
The smirk vanished from her face as he shoved her hand away with one quick movement. Her pride bruised, she stumbled a bit, eyes wide with disbelief.
Selina's eyes widened. "You're joking."
He turned then,slowly, lazily — his cold, dark eyes boring into hers.
"Does it look like I'm fucking joking?"
Fury flared in her chest, but her pride kept her lips sealed. Without another word, she turned and stormed out of the room, humiliated and shaking with rage.
Her heels slammed against the hallway floor as she stalked back to her room. The guards turned away as she passed, pretending not to notice the fury written all over her face.
On her way back to her room, she stormed through the corridor like a thundercloud, fuming with embarrassment and rage.
Then she bumped into someone.
A girl.
Luna, The youngest of all gang members. She is a skilled hacker. When a computer gets into her hands, within seven seconds, she can hack into a server and out like a pro. She wore simple black slacks, a white blouse, and a brown leather holster clipped at her side.
"Watch it," Selina snapped, eyes narrowing at her.
Luna stared back at her, wide-eyed but not afraid. Everyone in the gang knew Selina. She is Venom's girl—untouchable, cruel, and deadly. Anyone who crossed her ended up bruised or buried. Rumor had it that Venom once snapped a man's spine for calling her a gold-digger. Even the guards wouldn't meet her eyes when she passed.
"I said watch it," Selina repeated, stepping closer. "Or do you want to die"
Luna gave a half-smile. "I'd apologize if you hadn't been the one stomping through the hallway like a wounded rhino."
Selina narrowed her eyes. "You'll regret that," she whispered before storming off, hair whipping behind her like a warning.
Luna exhaled, shaking her head.
What a day.
She didn't want trouble. But it looked li
ke trouble had already found her.
And it had long legs and blood-red lipstick.
