Seated on the dinning room with the dishes placed before me, my head was blank.I had just lost my appetite, whereas he was done with breakfast and had stepped out to be the heartless mafia the world known him to be while I was the helpless little girl.I stood up and made it back to my room. Just as I made it in, I found Celia quietly seated on the bedside. She had been patiently waiting for me to return.“So, what happened?” She asked with all curiosity growing in her mind.I spoke not a word, but let my dark gloomy face give quite the answer which she had least expected. “Ohh, I see. I guess I will leave you alone.” She stood up and made her way to the door. “Just call me if you need anything.” She spoke and excused herself.Crumbled to the ground, I felt the earth should open up and drag me in. There’s no going back, I have only one option and that is to be the little puppet and plaything he desires me to be.***Dusk was fast approaching. I made it into the bathroom to get myself
I woke up the next morning laid down on the bed. I had no idea how I made it back home, neither could I recall a thing as I was totally blank and wasted.I kept on staring at the painting on the ceiling, I felt nauseous and my entire body was numb and heavy. Inside my mouth tasted a bit sour and I reek of the smell of tequila and an unidentified alcoholic smell.“I must have drank quite a lot last night.” I thought to myself. The room door opened and Celia walked in with a tray which contained a white porcelain bowl with blue pattern of flowers drawn on its side“Here, I made you porridge to cure your hangover.” She placed it on the bed and helped me up in a sitting posture.“Thank you Celia.” I spoke and dug into it immediately. Celia kept her gaze fixed on me while I helped myself to the bowl of porridge before. Soon I noticed her lurking eyes all over me. “What is it? Why are you looking at me like I had just committed a huge blunder?” I asked with all curiosity.“Nothing.” She sai
After much time wasted in the bathtub wallowing in my thoughts, I finally made it out and back into the room, with the towel tied around my body from my breast down to my thighs, I picked up the phone and decided to play the recordings.I still was in doubt. Listening to it again, I sat down on the bed side and played each one after the other. It took a long while, about an hour just listening to all the recordings. My ears ached so much as I was in shock and could not believe what I just heard.“Did I really say all of this?” I pondered in disbelief. Deep in thoughts, I heard the chatting of voices and footsteps as they approached the door. I realized I wasn’t dressed up yet as I spent my time on the phone listening to the recordings. In haste, I hurried over the wardrobe as I picked up a gown to put on.The doors of the room opened up and Mariano walked in. I stood still and watched him appear before me again, as usual he had a red stain on his white inner sleeve which he had put
I stood in dismay as I watched Guzman dropped my phone and laptop before me. I could not believe it, he wasn’t joking neither does it look like a game anymore for he was being serious.“So Cassandra, if you still think I am joking go ahead and make a wish. Ask for anything you want.”Terror got hold of me. His voice was calm and his facial expression a bit serious. This was my chance to ask for anything, for him to prove to me that this isn’t a joke that he wants to treat me differently but I couldn’t make a decision. I became mute and my head was point-blank due to fear of him.“You aren’t saying anything.” He got up and made it to my side. “Guzman, you may leave us.” As instructed by his boss, he made his way out to his duty post and it was just the two of us alone in the dinning.“You really must think of me as a monster Cassandra, but that’s not who I am. I am different from what you see, you must have heard a lot of things about me and I am also aware that you know the truth.” He
As soon as we arrived at the club, he turned to me and gave a frightened look. I could tell he was afraid and somewhat scared just by looking at his eyes."Please when you get inside, stay away from the men that are dressed in black suit other than Guzman, and whatever happens inside, do not get involve with them and try not to create any form of attraction. Also, stay away from the upper rooms as much as you can." His eyes were immersed in fear. I have never seen him this afraid before, neither have I heard of a time he was afraid.He made it out of the vehicle and so did his other men except for Guzman who stayed back as he was instructed to keep a close watch on me. I could not understand what was going on. Mariano seemed to be afraid, that's unlike him. He wasn't scared of anything rather, it used to be the other way round and people fear him. He has only been scared of one person and which according to Celia was his father. What could be the reason why he was so scared tonight an
Followed them, we walked into the room. A man was seated with a cigarette on his hand. The room was covered with smoked that I could hardly breath.Just as we arrived, he signal his men to leave while I stood in front of him. His eyes lurked around me and then he gave a satisfaction smile.“Why don’t you come a bit closer” he said with his smile getting bigger.I could barely move an inch, I was too afraid to step anywhere closer and I couldn’t run away for he had a gun beside him. If I dare to run away there’s no telling what he might do.Why didn’t I listen to him and just stayed at home? Why must I get myself into ever mess the moment I step out of his house.“Come on, I don’t bite,” he kept insisting and he showed his milk colored teeth which had braces on them. Seeing how reluctant and hesitant I was to move, he stood up from his seat and began to walk close to me. “Since you do not wish to come to me, then I have to do the opposite by coming to you.”“Please leave me alone.” I m
I watched him as he went on speaking. Deep in my thoughts, I still could not picture in my mind the new Mariano. What is it about him that has changed? What happened that him this way for clearly, he doesn’t appear to look like the man who walked into our home on the night of my birthday, neither did he seemed to be the one who dragged me on my knees the day I tried to escape from him nor the man who allowed someone to take advantage of me while he sat down and did nothing. He has changed but could it be so? It’s not possible for a man to turn into a new leaf over just one night.“Are you listening to me?” he waved his hand at my face.“What!” I exclaimed softly. “Sorry.”“I knew you weren’t listening.” He paused and made a soft sigh in the sound of a whusper. “Does it bother you so much?”“No, it’s just…..” I paused immediately and looked at him. I was extremely clueless as to what to say to him.“What is it?” I just kept on staring at him. “Cassandra, you shouldn’t stare at a man li
It was day break again, a bright new morning but on my side, it wasn’t as bright as the rest for I had no sleep. My mind has been occupied with what happened at the club.Mariano saved me, and by so doing he killed someone because of me. Could he be that he was sincere when he said he wanted to be much more nicer to me. Still unable to arrive at answer, I was left more confused and perplexed each time I thought about it.My mind getting foggy, I stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. Right underneath, I switched on the water, it gushed out from the mouth of the shower and washed down my body. I stood under as I kept thinking about it.After I was done, I came back out and took a silk gown. Wore it and I made my way downstairs to the dinning.On my arrival, he was seated having his breakfast. My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw him. He gave me a bright smile and continued with his breakfast. I stood not knowing what to do.“Should I join him? Or should I walk away fro
“Oh my God…..ahhh.” I moaned in pleasure as his finger kept on digging and stretching the walls of my vagina. I couldn’t help it anymore, I was lost in sweet sensation of pleasure. His hand picked my nipples, they were as hard as rock, swollen as they stood erect. He caressed my nipples gently while his fingers kept exploring dip inside of me. I was on the edge of climax and couldn’t hold on much longer. Still stroking dip, his tongue made contact with the tip of my vagina. My legs shook in response to the pleasure my body has received. I could feel the hot air emitting from his nostrils as he dipped his face in between my thighs. He was sucking my vagina. “Mariano, please don’t stop.” I let out a soft cry of pleasure. He kept on as he wasn’t ready to stop either and I wasn’t ready to let it all end. I wanted more, I wanted him. Teasing my clitoris, his finger went right through, deeper this time. I was at climax and close to orgasm. Mariano stopped and lifted his head from between my
30 days in captivity"What do you really think of me?" His eyes made contact with mine, staring right at me without saying a word. "Do you consider me a woman?" "You seemed drunk. We will talk about it some other time.""No, I want to know." I spoke out as I tried to be persistent. Now is probably the best time for Mariano to give me an answer, cause no matter what he says, it won't hurt so much if I eventually get rejected by him. I fixed my gaze at him, hoping for him to speak up. "Since you want to know, I will give you the answer you've been waiting to hear" he spoke and stared right into my eyes. My heart was racing again. I was eager to hear what he would say. Will I be rejected? The thought came ringing in my head. "Cassandra." He paused just after calling my name, my heart made a loud throbbing sound inside me. . "I have always thought of you as a woman. Nothing less of such, and just like I have been saying, I have never been more interested in you than this moment. I wa
It was already dusk before we came back, our little shopping exceeded my expectations and rather it turned out to be a whole day shopping. The car was filled up and lucky for us, it was just the two of us in the vehicle. Mariano inserted the keys into the ignition, starting the engines and we drove back home.On arrival, Guzman was by the entrance of the hotel, standing as though he was awaiting our return. We parked just in front of him, the other guards came to our aid while Mariano walked over to Guzman. I knew it was business related as such I would rather let him handle his business by himself. I made it back to our hotel room and made it to the room. Immediately I walked into the bathroom as I reeked of sweat. I turned on the water and it filled the bathtub, without hesitation I dipped myself into the hot bath. It was refreshing and relieving at the same time.“Cassandra.” I heard my name being called, it was him. “Bathing.” I responded at the top of my voice. “Ohh, why don’
“I want you to be mine.” His words cut me off guard. I was speechless and so much confused, all I could do was stare right at him. My heart was racing as much as twice as it usually would. His eyes were fixed on me, I could see the sincerity and honesty in them. Mariano has just confessed his feelings towards me.Face to face with each other, neither of us said a word but just stood staring into each other. Shortly, the smell of something burning caught on our nose.“Shit!” He exclaimed out loud as he turned back to the eggs. “ I burnt it.” He said with a bit of disappointment.Just as I stood there watching him lament, muttering to himself. I found myself smiling.“You are smiling.” Hearing his words, my smile began to fade slowly. “You don’t have to stop smiling just because I said it, besides it’s nice to see you smile. I like it when you smile.”I don’t know what is happening, but Mariano’s words, everytime he talks this way my heart just beats as fast as usual. Could this be my
There was an awkward moment of silence that followed, i couldn’t tell if he was joking or he was being serious. My head was totally blank as there was not a word I could say to him anymore. Mariano has every right to be angry and treat me as nothing but a slave but he isn’t, rather he has been a bit gentle towards me. Could he really be honest by the fact that he doesn’t want to hurt me? Could he really be serious about having an interest in me?“Is there anything you would like to know?” he asked with a smile on his face. I froze up again, I couldn't speak, nor could I find the right words to use.“Nothing…..i think i am okay.” I managed to voice out. His eyes were focused on me but I was finding it hard to look at him. My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't bear to lift my face up.We sat down on the bed without exchanging words. After a moment, he cleared his throat, bringing an end to the dead silence in the room.“Well if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave and let y
The mention of my father’s name sent a cold chill through my spine. My lips were sealed shut as a result of the shock and surprise on hearing his name. What has this got to do with him? Why is he involved in this?“You seem pretty shocked, I know. You never expected him to be part of it, did you?” His eyes were focused on me. There was nothing I could do or say but to stare back at him. “Are you sure you want to know everything that happened?”At that moment, I could hardly tell if I was ready or not. Mariano’s life and Becky's death were linked with my father. It would be best to let it go but my curiosity was growing bigger and no matter how much i think of it, my father is involved therefore i have to know what happened.I took in a deep breath and let it all out, and then I took another deep breath to calm myself a little. “Yes, I want to know what happened.” I responded as I tried to summon the courage to prepare myself for whatever I was going to hear.“Alright then. It may be a
He froze and kept staring at me. Iknew my request came out unexpectedly but I wasn't hoping that he would react this way. Usually, he would have accepted as i was the one giving the invitation but he didn't and just kept holding his glass of while and said not a word to me but rather stare at me.“I’m sorry, it was such a foolish request, I shouldn't have said anything.” I spoke out as I felt a bit embarrassed. I took the wine glass and without hesitation, I drank it all and emptied the glass.His eyes kept on lurking at me, I tried my very best not to exchange contact with him to avoid more embarrassment and feeling of shame.As soon as I was done, I dropped down the glass and in haste I stood up hoping to leave quietly.“Are you going to leave after making such a hard request?” His words drew me back and made me stand still on the spot. I turned around slowly to look at him, he held his wine and had a smile on his face. An enormous awkward amount of silence followed swiftly. He dro
“What would you have done, if I had reconsidered at the last minute?” I stared at him with so must eager and curiousness as to what he would say if I had cancelled and changed my mindHe dropped down the menu, wrapped his hands together and gave a smile in amusement. At that moment, I felt like an idiot who had just asked a silly question .I told you, it was only a stupid question. You don’t have to answer if you don’t feel the need to.” I let out a sigh . “I have no idea why I had to ask such a question in the first place.” I picked up the menu as I glanced at it to see the different recipes and delicacy on it once more before I choose.“I would have cancelled.” The words came out of his mouth. I looked up at him like I heard not what he said and wanted him to repeat the same words just to be certain that I wasn’t being delusional. “If you had changed your mind about coming, I would have cancelled.”I could hardly believe the words I had just heard him say from his lips. He must be
I clenched on to his hand firmly, I just couldn’t withdrew my hand from his but wanted to keep holding on to it.Reaching it’s peak, the opera finally came to a close. He withdrew his hand as he joined the crowd to applaud the awesome display, I felt the warmness of his grip fading as both of our hands separate. It felt like something was taken away from inside me.“Cassandra.” Hearing his voice, I was drawn back to reality as I had been spacing out all through. “Are you okay? You have waters in your eyes.”“What!” softly I exclaimed and wiped off the waters.“It must have been the show. My sister always have the same reaction as you whenever we visit the opera, she would say it touches her soul.” He made a smile which last few seconds and his face was covered in pity.Celia did tell me about his sister and what happened. I guess he must have really loved and cared about her so much.“Well, that is the first. The second is about to start but there’s somewhere I want us to be.”“And wh
