Santiago Derrick skidded in the Range Rover Velar that he was driving. He's been driving for about an hour now, breaking all traffic rules, like a lunatic I was seated beside him with my belt crookedly strapped across my chest. My eyes were all shades of red as I stared grimly at the road, cussing intermittently."How many fucking hours are we going to spend on the road!?" I bellowed, drumming my fingers against the gun held in the holster around my waist."A few more minutes, boss," Rick responded tightly and continued at a breakneck speed.He suddenly swerved out of the highway and revved into a clearing. After a few minutes' drive, we were out of civilization.Before us was a large expanse of land filled with a few shrubs and scanty trees scattered here and there. The terrain was rough and there were sandy dunes all around. Although it was getting dark, we could see clearly ahead due to the sparse vegetation."What a hellhole! A perfect place for a shitty traitor like him… are you
Bianca Milla instructed me to eat in my room to avoid stressing myself out. Although I insisted that I was feeling better, she didn't listen.Well, she was right, I wasn't totally fine. I still felt a residual pain around my neck but it wasn't something serious.After I had eaten dinner, I took my medication and retired to sleep. Milla had been attending to me, I hadn't seen Darko since I returned from the hospital.As I lay in bed, I remembered Tiffany. I hadn't seen her since she left the hospital but the memories of my moments with her flooded my heart. It felt nostalgic as it was intertwined with Bella's memories. I laughed and cried at the same time. The gloomy look on Tiffany's face as she left my ward in the morning pierced my heart. She seemed to be living in an open prison where she couldn't do what she liked. She was almost like me. Irrespective of the rules, I was determined to always put a smile on her face… But how when I couldn't even go near her? Santiago….The menti
SantiagoMy eyes opened up and I looked around. I was in Bianca's bedroom, lying on the bed while she was on the couch.My bloody shirt from the previous night was lying in a lump on the floor while my toso was bare. The only cloth on my body was my messed up pair of trousers.My body ached from head to toe. The pain was more intense at my side. My fingers curled up to the area and I remembered the gash last night. Amazingly, it was gone. 'Yeah, I am a werewolf and my wounds heal faster than normal, but not…"My fingers brushed over the wound and I felt its roughness. Shit! I was stitched up! Who did this!? My eyes widened in anger. The last time I checked, I didn't follow Derrick and my men to the hospital yesterday night. They went their way and I…Fuck! Did I stumble into Bianca's room? I thought as hazy memories clouded my head.Who the heck stitched me up!?"I need answers!" I yelled and bungled myself out of Bianca's bed. She flinched from her sleep and when she saw me, she spra
Santiago"If anything goes wrong in my body, I will sniff the life out of that bitch! And why the heck is J Jones keeping me waiting!" I yelled impatiently into the quiet room.Whilst my guards were outside, I was alone in my private ward waiting to be checked by my doctor. The ward was specifically designed for me. I only visited whenever I needed to and when I was not there, no one dared to use it.Just like Jones heard me, he walked in with a bright smile and I wondered if he ever had a bad day in his life, he was always smiling. He would smile even when someone's heart had just been poked out fiercely.He had been a good friend and one of the best surgeons around, of course with some perks of the mafia, no one worked in my estate without minimum combatant training.Since he was my doctor, he knew my greatest secret… as a werewolf, the mysterious healing ability of my body gave me away.“My lord," he muttered meekly, looking mighty chipper as he moved towards my bed.I flashed him
Bianca My night was filled with nightmares. I rolled from one side of the bed to the other but I couldn't sleep. How could someone be so brutal?Images of the nameless maid that Santiago shot dead in front of me filled my head all night. Her frightening stares, the sound of the gunshot, and the sound of her body clashing on the floor replayed in my head, haunting my every breath.Indeed, I never learned. I was battered and told that I was no hero after putting myself in harm's way to save the great lord's daughter…and now? He killed someone because I meddled in his business! And what was that? I treated him! I saved him from dying! I screamed in my head as the dead maid's pale face pierced my heart.She died because of me! I shuddered and rose from the bed.'If I don't stop, more people will die! I am also as good as dead." Fear gripped my heart as I remembered my father. I must get him out of here alive. But how will I put up with this for a year? I touched my sore neck and sank bac
Bianca"Pumpkin… You're here…" I whispered, struggling out of my bed. One after the other, I lifted each foot, walking towards her. I ran my hands vigorously through my hair, dreading every step. What am I going to say to her?"You will ruin your braids," she mouthed, still staring at me. She was watching my every step.Wringing my hands, I towered over her. All that was in my head was how to turn down her offer."I did it!" She giggled."I told you, father can't turn me down!" "Yes… You said you would get his permission," I said dryly and stood straight, looking at her. How do I turn down his damsel? She noticed my coldness and her beautiful brows cringed up in a frown. "Don't tell me you are…""Pumpkin…" I called her solemnly and turned my back to her."No! Are you going to turn me down? No! We made a promise…"Gosh! How do I tell a ten-year-old girl that I was not permitted around her? How do I tell her that I am bound by some rules and the last time I broke the rules, someone wa
BiancaI thought we were going out of the estate, but I was mistaken. Tiffany's school was right within the estate! I remembered the wine press too. What else is in here?The school was an elementary school but not your usual kind of school.Stepping through the grand entrance, I was immediately struck by the opulence that surrounded me. The foyer was striking. It has a soaring ceiling adorned with intricate moldings and a stunning chandelier that refracted light with myralds of colours. The floors were made of polished marble. They gleaned beneath our feet as we proceeded. The receptionist bowed slightly and I could tell that she was no ordinary. Her visage bespoke 'Mafia'. The foyer led to a sweeping staircase that curved like a ribbon to the upper floors. I was still pushing Tiffany's chair and I stood in the front of the staircase contemplating how to get her on the stairs.One of the guards rushed forward. He pressed some buttons and an elevator with the inscription, 'execut
BiancaAt the closing of school, Tiffany wanted me to follow her down to her villa but Darko wouldn't have it."You can't go with her," he said sternly."Why not?" Tiffany asked just as I wanted to ask.Darko kept his lips tight with a no-nonsense look on his face. Tiffany wouldn't have it either. Tension built up between the two and they continued to stare unwaveringly at each other."Hey! Pumpkin…" I called and walked over to Tiffany. "Do not worry… I will visit your villa some other day…we have plenty of time…" Really? Did I just say I had the luxury of time when all I wanted was to escape this hellhole? I couldn't believe it.Tiffany sulked and pouted. I bent a little, teasing her with my piercing look. I kissed her on the forehead and she made a puppy face as she let me go reluctantly. Her guards pushed her wheelchair on the car rump and I remained there waving at her as they drove away."Let's go, we will be late," Darko crackled from behind me.He led me to another car and so
Bianca's povThe ray of light beam gaily across the blinds and I wingled softly.I tried to spread myself but I couldn't,I was held tightly by a force and a warm breath tingled across my neck evenly.I froze with the body beside me. Did someone enter my room? I almost kicked the body of me but he cuddled me tighter holding me close to his body.We were both naked and our body intertwined like that of a fish. My eyes widened and I remained still debating on what just happened . Is that really Santiago? I screamed in my head unbelievably and tried to beep at his sleeping face..Oh God damnit! He look too peaceful and placid in his sleep Did Santiago forget to wake up or something? We have never spent the night together and in most cases he always makes me go to my room or leave me in bed.Oh we are not in our room ! but then the glass wall twinkled millions of lights and to the west,the setting sun cast a golden glow over the room.The thought of how Santiago poured me a glass of cha
Santiago Fresh flowers and candles adorn the space as I carried Bianca straight to the room.I guess the champagne had some effect on her as she clinged to me daring to satisfy each other's desire I have never seen her this way, she burns with lust and passion for me as our bodies collide on the bed. She wrapped up her legs in between my thighs and curled my balls with a warm palm.She set me on fire and I was ready to burn her immensely. I unzipped her dress this time and pull it of in a sec while I unclasped her bra to fling in the air I gasped for air as Bianca unzip my trousers with the same energy revealing my cock fully. She smirked, biting her lower lips seductively and calling with her eyes. I still can't believe my eyes. I giggled softly.“ You seem to want this more than I do". I teased her, smoothing my hardness for her and she blushed red instantly.I removed the last piece of fabric covering her nakedness and sniffed it before dropping it. She was expecting me on her
SantiagoThis is a part of me I never thought still existed as the driver revived the car and veered off I wanted to draw Bianca closer to myself in the car and pin her down to cuddle on the back seat This is what I have never thought of doing in my ride with any woman. Each of them always maintains their space while some fear sitting next to me.I noticed a few strands of her hair wandering around as I help her tugged it in slowly and brushed through her ear.I saw her shiver to my touch and her eyes were locked in surprise.I shrugged it off instantly, fixing my gaze on my phone's screen.Bianca's looks gave away her emotions the moment the driver drove past her villa and headed straight to my mansion.I thought briefly on what she would think about me seeing the bond between her and her father.Knowing fully well Bianca and her father were just used by my unrelenting enemy I felt trapped in my feelings.I still find it hard to figure out if my strong emotions were out of pity or
Bianca My father looked away and couldn't say any more words. He shrugged my hands off his shoulders and I glanced away. That was when I remembered to look at Santiago, his hands was placed on the table and he was looking at us.Our eyes met and I looked away from him. His face was cold and expression-less as usual.With the back of my palm, I cleaned off the tears that were threatening to overflow.Silently, Santiago's hand delved into his pocket, he brought out a folded paper and placed it on the table.My eyes widened as he unfolded and dressed the paper. It was a brightly printed picture of the stranger that I had mistook for Tyler after the explosion."Do you seem to recognize him?" Santiago asked, pointing at the picture.My father picked up the picture, giving it a closer look. His forehead crisped up in a frown and he stared down at the picture.I was on a hot seat. My body was on fire and I sniffed as I shifted nervously on my seat."No," my father finally said and dropped
Bianca POV"I want nothing but the truth," Santiago suddenly said and reclined into his seat, looking straight into my father's eyes.I knew Santiago had come here for a reason not because he actually wanted to see a father bonding with her daughter.I sit upright, tightening my grip harder."I brought your daughter so that she can witness nothing but the truth..”. I paused calmly and continued carefully.“ The theft that made me lock you up with your daughter isn't just as simple as it seems. If you tell me the truth, you ain't only helping me but also helping yourself”.Santiago concluded and glared sternly into my eyes and my father did the same. I begged him with my eyes and reassured Santiago to trust my father he would say the truth I squeezed my father's hand and he nodded his head abruptly He sighed heavily and sipped down his drink shakily."Tell me everything you know. How the operation went down," Santiago demanded again." I am just a street father trying to survive an
Bianca Don’t cry baby “. My father kept stroking my back quietly like he always did when I was child and each time I missed my mom.My father is quite a good drunkard and won't think better when he deep his hands in shady stuff but he was a better father even though he couldn't provide all my needsHe patted me harder and I tried to simmer down a bit.I staggered backwards and started looking through my father's body if there were any bruises or wounds not attended too.I really don't know what is going on in my head but I was overwhelmed seeing my father " I'm fine! I'm fine “. My Dad yelled slightly, stopping me from checking his body further I nodded my head firmly and held his hands tightly.“Are you truly okay? I asked worriedly again and I couldn't believe my ears" Look at you my dear! You look so beautiful like your mother and worried exactly like her.” My father complimented and teased me, slightly before he smirked.It feels like have not seen my father in long years and
BiancaThe car stopped in front of a wooden house.It looks like an ancient building but well cared for and cultivated I looked through the door eagerly as Santiago stepped out and I followed the suite The fallen leaves formed a carpet at the doorstep as one of the guards led the way through and I strolled at Santiago sides quietly We reached a bar of brass within the building and my thoughts skipped endlessly at what awaits me.The outside of the building just looked old but the inside looks newly fashioned and neat One of the guards that seemed like a housekeeper rushed towards Santiago. He bowed and walked us through leading to a mini roomThe house looked warm and welcoming to a stage but I couldn't look around "Bring him," Santiago commanded with a very husky voice and the man left .I felt a bit uneasy and troubled at that moment, my gaze met with Santiago whose eyes remained calm before I averted from him. I was ushered to take a seat and I sat across the table which I di
BiancaOn my way back home I still couldn't believe my ears.Did Santiago really know how much I wanted to ask him about my father on different occasions but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Especially the first night he took me in. I desperately wanted to see my father.Tears almost filled my eyes and I wondered what changed.Could it be that I had really done something to deserve it.Different thoughts flaunt through my head and stillness envelope me with the new guard in the car.Luckily I was taken aback by the screeching sound of the tyre that came to halt. We were already at the villa.I took a deep breath before stepping out of the car.I walked through the door absentmindedly and shut the door abruptly.The thought of how Santiago rampage through my body in his office and the urge of how much he wanted to have me run through my head and I smiled sheepishly.But then the most important question came up in my mind. Where were Santiago's scars? Even if I didn't know about other
Bianca The new guard, a blonde with yellow skin, drove me down to Santiago's office.I was gussied up in a simple tea green slitted gown that hung on my knee elegantly and a dashing lip balm graces my lips I didn't know what the occasion was for, but I looked simple and wondered what I would want l to do in his office.This time I was clueless, I couldn't think of what he wanted from me with the way he looked at me yesterday and the incident and tension at hand.Fear gripped my heart, but I walked stylishly as I was led into the elevator. The elevator stopped and I was led down the hallway until we stopped in front of Santiago's office.I remembered the door, I had been here before. The feelings of what happened the previous time surged up in my head and I got goosebumps almost immediately.The doors opened on it accord as I stepped in revealing Santiago looking hot and dashing with his eyes burning in lust.It was the burning sensation in his eyes that scared me out.A dangerous sm
