Mine to Burn
Unfinished Business
The sound of water striking marble echoed through the massive bathroom of the Reyes estate.
Steam coiled through the air like smoke, curling along the golden sconces and dark-veined walls.
？？？
*steps out of the shower*
He stepped out of the shower, a towel sat low on his hips, water sliding down his broad chest and sculpted frame like it had no right to touch him.
He walked calmly into his bedroom, the kind of man who didn’t rush for anything—because the world waited on him.
The door opened and a young servant, head bowed respectfully, stepped in with a silver tray.
Servant 1
Your juice, Señor Reyes.
？？？
Gracias *replied, voice low and clipped*
He took the glass, sipped it, and set it down without looking.
？？？
*pulled a black shirt from the wardrobe*
Servant 1
*hesitated* We… We don’t know, Señor.
Servant 1
Young Miss left this morning. No destination mentioned.
His eyes stilled, though he said nothing. Just a quiet nod. The kind that meant find her. Now.
A private jet’s wheels screeched softly against the smooth runway of Madrid-Barajas Airport, sunlight gleaming off its polished frame.
As the stairs unfolded with a soft hiss, a pair of designer heels touched down on Spanish soil—deliberate, graceful, and unhurried.
Lyssa Abramov never rushed for anyone.
A pair of sunglasses shielded her eyes, her long black hair fluttering slightly in the warm breeze.
She looked every bit the heiress she was—draped in an ivory linen jumpsuit cinched at the waist with a gold belt, skin sun-kissed from her last vacation in the Maldives.
At the bottom of the stairs, Valerie Reyes practically bounced on her toes.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
OH. MY. GOD. LYSSA (≧∇≦)/
Lyssa's lips curled into a rare, genuine smile as she descended.
The moment she hit the tarmac, Valeria tackled her into a hug.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
You look like a Vogue cover and I look like someone who fought a suitcase and lost *muttered into her shoulder*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
You’re glowing, darling *said airily*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Even if your bun looks like it’s running away.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*pulled back, laughing* You've become quite savage.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*smirked* And you dramatic.
They linked arms and started walking toward the sleek black SUV waiting for them.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
So *sliding on her sunglasses*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Excited to be back?
Lyssa's smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Let’s just say... I have unfinished business.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*gave her a side glance*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
By ‘unfinished business,’ do you mean Spanish wine, luxury shopping, and reckless decisions with beautiful men?
Lyssa took off her glasses slowly, revealing that glint in her eyes—the one Valeria hadn’t seen since that summer four years ago.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I mean your brother.
Valeria nearly tripped over her own feet.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
ΣΣ⊙▃⊙川
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Wait. Brother Mathías? Are you serious?
Lyssa slid into the backseat of the car like royalty returning to her throne.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
He’s going to lose his damn mind.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*smirks*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
That’s the plan.

Hope you like this season too <3
Not This Time
Valeria shot her a sideways look
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Okay, what’s the plan?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
You’re going to help me.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Help you what, exactly?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Conquer your brother.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*nearly slammed the brakes*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
I—Lyssa! Are you insane?!
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I like the word determined better. 😌
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*groaned* You’re talking about Mathías Reyes.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
The man whose blood pressure rises if a bird chirps too close to his window.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
He once threatened to have my fake boyfriend deported!
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
And I love a challenge. *smiled sweetly*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
You’re going to give me updates. Schedules. Weak spots. Secrets.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Everything~
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*blinked* So… espionage.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Think of it as sister-in-law training
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*narrowed her eyes* You know he’ll kill us both if he finds out
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I’d die pretty
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
But I won’t need to
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
He won’t know a thing—until it’s too late. *smirks*
Valeria let out a deep sigh.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
God help us. 😣
At a charming street café shaded by jacaranda trees and bathed in late-morning sun.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*sipped her café con leche* So what if he rejects you again?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*arched a brow* He won’t.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Cocky. 😒
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Confident.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Delusional. 🙄
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I’ve upgraded since the last time, Val. *flicked her hair*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
This time I’m not an eighteen-year-old schoolgirl with a crush.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I’m a woman. One he can’t ignore.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*sighed, laughing* God, he’s going to flip.
Lyssa smiled, the glint in her eyes matching the sun.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Good. It’s about time someone flipped him.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Still. *murmurs*
Valeria set down her coffee with a dramatic sigh.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
You know, this is starting to feel like treason.
Lyssa leaned forward on her elbows, removing her sunglasses so Valeria could get the full impact of her gaze.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Relax. I’m not asking you to commit a felony.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
You’re literally asking me to spy on my brother.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*gave her a cheeky smile*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
It’s not spying. It’s sisterly concern… with a dash of ambition.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*narrowed her eyes*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
How do I always get dragged into your games?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Because you secretly love it~ *sing-songed*
Valeria opened her mouth, then paused.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
…Okay, yeah, that’s fair.
Lyssa picked up her teacup with elegance and said casually
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Also, you’re not going to tell Mathías I’m back.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*eyebrows shot up* What?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I like giving surprises *sly smile*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Especially the kind that makes his jaw lock and eye twitch at the same time.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Oh my god, you’re evil. 😧
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I’m efficient. 😌
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*slumped in her seat* He’s going to kill me.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*reached out and patted her hand*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Probably. But first—tell me his schedule.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*hesitated*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
I’m thinking about whether I value my life. 🙂
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Come on. Just the next thing.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Meeting? Lunch? Mafia shootout?
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*sighed* Fine. He has a meeting tonight at Club Montoya.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Private room, top floor. High-profile.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*eyes sparkled* Perfect.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*narrowed her eyes* Don’t wear red.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
That’s what you wore when you confessed to him last time.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
He’ll definitely remember.
(눈‸눈)
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Oh, I hope he does *murmured, her lips curling*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Because this time, he doesn't get to walk away~
Family Disease
Valeria groaned and slumped dramatically in her chair, stirring her coffee like it had wronged her.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Ugh, can’t you just—I don’t know—forget about him?
Lyssa blinked at her with mock innocence.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Forget Mathías Reyes?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
That’s like forgetting gravity.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*dropped her spoon*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Girl, seriously—this is bordering on obsession.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*lips curled* It’s a family disease.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*blinked* A family what?
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
In my family… *took a delicate sip of her tea*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*then smiled sweetly*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
When we lock onto prey—we don’t stop until they’re hunted.
Valeria stared at her like she’d grown horns.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
…You need therapy. Immediately. 🙂
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*shrugged*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
It’s either kill your lover… or die together.
Valeria visibly shivered, clutching her drink like it was holy water.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Why does everything you say sound like it belongs in a gothic novel? 😶
Lyssa flashed her teeth in a grin.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
Because we mate for life.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*narrowed her eyes*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Don’t drag animals into this. *deadpan*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
*winked* Too late.
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
I’m already stalking the alpha.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*groaned* God help my brother. 😩
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
God can’t help him now *purred*
Lyssa Abramov (FL)
He’s mine~
The Reyes estate loomed like a fortress under the golden wash of the late afternoon sun
All high walls, black iron gates, and the kind of silence that made your heartbeat sound too loud.
Valeria gripped her purse tighter as the butler opened the door for her.
Her heels echoed in the grand marble hallway.
Her steps slowed when she saw him
King of the Spanish underworld.
Mathías Reyes (ML)
You’re late *said calmly—too calmly*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*spine stiffened* It’s not even dinnertime.
Mathías Reyes (ML)
You left without telling anyone. ❄
Mathías Reyes (ML)
The servants thought you’d been kidnapped. ❄
Valeria tried a casual laugh.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
😅 I just went out for coffee—
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*blinked* W-What?
Mathías walked towards her with the grace of a panther.
Mathías Reyes (ML)
Where did you go, Valeria?
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Oh God. Oh no.)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(This is a trap. He knows. 😨)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Does he know? He totally knows.)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(I am so bad at lying. 😧)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Lyssa's going to owe me a new wardrobe after I survive this interrogation. 😖)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
I-I was with a friend *stammered*
Mathías Reyes (ML)
*eyes narrowed* Who?
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*gulps*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Luna. You know her. Redhead. Very loud. She wants a dog. 😅
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Why am I saying this. 🙂)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Why am I talking about dogs. Stop it. ಥ_ಥ)
Mathías Reyes (ML)
*staring at her*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Please. please. please. please believe it!! 😭🙏)
His jaw flexed just slightly. But then…
Nothing. He nodded once, curtly.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Wait. That’s it? He believed that? 😶)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Is this a trap?)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Am I in a psychological minefield right now? 🙂)
Mathías Reyes (ML)
I expect you to inform someone next time *turned away, already dismissing her*
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
Yes, of course, Commander Paranoia 🙄 *mumbled under her breath*
Mathías Reyes (ML)
*looked over his shoulder slowly*
Mathías Reyes (ML)
What did you say?
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
*smiled brightly* I said, I love paella!
He stared for one second too long… then walked off toward his office.
Valeria exhaled hard and bolted for the stairs.
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Okay. That was close. That was too close.)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(I’m never lying again. 😫)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(I'm telling Lyssa I am not dying for her Romeo revenge plot.)
Valeria Reyes (ML Lil'Sis/FL BFF)
(Not today, Satan.)
As the heavy door to Mathías’s study shut behind him, Valeria sprinted up the stairs like her life depended on it.
