Chapter 1Nicole. I slowly nod my head to the strong bass of the erotic song playing through the speakers. This is giving me the perfect mood I need for what I'm here to do tonight. To get laid. I don't know how I survived with my purity to this age though, I should blame it on work and my uptight boss. That man never allows me to rest. I was forced to sneak out of the house to be here and that's why I have to make sure it's worth it. The good thing in all this is the fact that I'm yet to have my freedom, at least that's what he said. I can't wait to start my life afresh somewhere far from the world I'm currently living in. I have been working for my independence for three years now. According to my boss who also happens to be my uncle, I have one more mission and after that, I will be free to live the life I have always wanted. A life where I can do what I want without restrictions or frequent close monitoring. A life where it's just Nicole and the world she will create for h
Alessio (Warning; Mature content)Luca wanted me to check out one of my recently opened clubs and I reluctantly agreed. I am a busy man and I trust him to take care of something small like a club. So I'm sitting here bored to death, not following whatever they are saying or the strippers that are supposedly entertaining us. This is the last place I planned to be, especially when a bitch is probably lying naked on my bed.Yesterday I had a wide pussy that got me disgusted and I couldn't even relieve myself. So to make it up to me, the bitch who controls all the strippers in my clubs promised me a good lay today. Hopefully, she does because I waste a lot of my money on them. Still contemplating on how I'm gonna ditch the two boys, a girl walks into my club looking like a sinful angel that just got kicked out from heaven. And like the angel she is, she grabs every present man's attention to herself but she doesn't look interested. She is wearing an extremely short, sleeveless lace
Chapter 3 Nicole. I can't believe I'm cuddling with a stranger, and I feel reluctant to wake up and leave like it was supposed to happen. His body is so warm and hard. The manly scent together with the cologne he used makes me snuggle impossibly closer to him. The way his big arms engulf my body like a blanket makes this the safest and most comfortable place I have ever been in all my life. "We have to go" I mumble, drawing mindless circles on his bare chest but not making any effort to get up and do like I just proposed. We are behaving like we have done this countless times, someone might mistake us to be lovers, yet, we don't even know each other's names. I got a peek at his back and it's covered with tattoos and they make him look so hot. I would like to know what he does for a living but I'm afraid I will be going too far. Anyway, as bad as he looks, I'm sure he will push me away if he knew how many people I have killed. It's not my will though, that's why I want out. Hop
I saw her again tonight. The little girl and the older man with greying hair. He had her hand held in his and they were glancing at what looked like a massive ocean. Is my mind trying to tell me something? I have been frequently having this dream and every time it happens, I get these crazy unbearable headaches that don't go away even after medications. Tiredly, I sigh throwing the warm fluffy duvet away from my body, and stroll to my bathroom bare feet. This marks the fourth week since I saw him and it's torture to my mind. It's like I left a huge piece of me with him. The longing I feel in my chest is agonizing. The warmth and the manly scent of his body are deeply engraved in my mind, and I can't wipe them off. I want to be in the strength of his arms again. My beautiful stranger. I wish I knew his name or at least I should have kept his number. If I had figured out that I won't be staying in what I called home anymore, I wouldn't have tossed that paper away. Now I lost e
Alessio. I have been to mission after mission but nothing could have prepared me for this. I was supposed to send Marco here, but because he had more vital matters to attend to, I decided to do it myself. We got an anonymous message that required some girl Nicole Valdez to be eliminated. The pay attached to it was good so I thought why not. I'm always in for good money. The only thing I got about my kill was her address, no photos or anything related to her. So I came here expecting to find an old widow who possibly has a lot of mistakes to pay for. Not her. I have been looking everywhere, every corner I know. I even hacked all the security cameras up to three towns away but I didn't get a glimpse of her. I haven't had a rest since the morning she left my room and as I anticipated, I haven't fucked anyone else. I felt completely revolted by the idea of having another woman other than her and it pushed me to keep searching. This girl has entirely inhabited my mind and it's dri
Alessio "So Nicole, I want to get to know you", Since I'm keeping her, it's only right that I know everything about her. Nicole sighs and places her arm on my stomach. I don't know why she's being reluctant to share anything about her with me, but I will find out eventually."Nothing is interesting with me Alessio, so are the rumors about you true? They say you spend every night with a different woman" She asks placing her chin on my chest to get a clear view of my face. "That was before I met you, I haven't done it again, I swear" I want to be as open as possible with her . Maybe then, she will feel the need to talk to me. " I have heard a lot about you and non was pleasing to my ears" She lays back on my chest and I thank heavens I found her before she knew who I was. Things people speak about me out there are all crazy. It never bothered me before, until now.I won't deny that most of it is true but all that changed when I found the girl in my arms." None of that matters now"
Nicole. "Nicole, Nicole. Nicole", Liam yells barging through my room and I share concerned glances with Tara. What did I do now? "What?" I calmly question, pausing the sad movie we were watching. "How dare you?" he screams as he furiously matches towards me but Tara quickly stands in front of me to block him. "You are not going near her, say whatever brought you here and get the fuck out of my house, before I kill you right now" she grits out pointing her gun at his head. Sadly, I don't feel any remorse or pity for my supposed brother. I'm positive I won't shed a tear if that gun goes off.We look nothing alike and most of the time, Liam treats me as an enemy rather than a relative. Earlier, I used to try creating a relationship between us but it didn't work, so I stopped attempting to mend the nonexistent bond. "Get the hell out of my way bitch" he responds with the same enmity pushing her but my girl is strong enough to stand her ground."Leave right now" She presses her gun
Alessio. Nicole looks off. Something is wrong with her but she's not willing to disclose it. It's my fault though, I should have been there but I had a lot on my plate and I only got some free time today. I missed her so much and it brings discomfort to my heart that she thinks I only want her for sex. I haven't looked at other women since I met Nicole. My boys are even surprised by this fact and they wanted to meet the girl that supposedly charmed me. So the idea was to bring her to my main house, introduce her to my two friends, and convince her to stay here due to the threat lurking out there. I can't allow her to live unprotected when I'm in a position to shield her. The fucking maids had to ruin everything. I can't deny the fact that I already fucked them. I did it twice and there was nothing special about them. The reason they are still here is because Luca wants it. He likes having fun with them every time he comes to my house. The fucker practically lives here. Like
Nicole. "Just perfect. This is what we call, killing two birds with one stone. First, steal your boyfriend's shit for myself and then kill his dumb girlfriend" Ernesto laughs as he takes slow steps toward me. " I have never seen a stupid woman like you, Nicole. You thought a girl that warms my bed every night would choose you over my dick?" He laughs and I swear, all the color just drained from my face. Tara was fucking Ernesto? I can't believe I am that stupid. How could I not know? "Tara would do anything to please her 'daddy' and she would be greatly rewarded at the end of the day" He blankly stares at her dead body as if she meant nothing to him. She never was my friend. She was Ernesto's plaything from the beginning. " Her assignment was to befriend you and not to get her feelings attached. I am proud of her even though she is gone. I can always find another young pussy, but you?" Ernesto mockingly sizes me up and down before releasing a dark chuckle. "Not even Julio's fag
Nicole. I jolt up with a splitting headache and a sweaty body. The room I am in feels like it's rotating and I tightly hold the bedding to steady myself. "Are you okay?" A voice asks above me and I squint my eyes to stare at the worried Alessio. How long was I out? The last thing I remember was shooting my brother. How come I am already in Alessio's bed? "Can I have water, please" I clear my throat as my vision finally becomes clear. Alessio quickly fills a glass of water and I stare at his mum pleadingly. I need those painkillers again. "Painkillers? " She asks with a gentle smile and I quickly nod but groan afterwards. Fuck my head.I will get better soon. I believe that.I can't believe this is the same woman who was rude to me at the first meeting. To make matters worse, she even brought another woman for Alessio in my very presence. Thank God I set my record straight.Alessio takes the pills from his mother and sits beside me. "Your memories again? " He gently asks placing
Nicole. My gaze remains on my brother who doesn't make a move toward us. Now that I look at him, Liam acted bitchy but he was sincere. He didn't pretend with me. And his last actions proved that at least he had an ounce of care for me. Liam had a chance to seize all the necklaces to appease his boss but he didn't. Instead, he gave me the original one without malice. I might share some resemblance to Leonardo but I can't help but despise him. If he is working for Ernesto, he knew all along where I was and he didn't give a damn. He only made a move because he saw me as a bargaining chip. Leo just wanted to use me for his selfish reasons. I won't let him though. I will fight him to death for my freedom. Averting my gaze from my shameless brother, I peer at the boy in front of me. Another selfish bastard who thinks I am disposable, and he can use me as a breeder. "What do you want Alex?" I stare at him without a sense of interest. His eyes linger from Alessio to me and trail to the
Nicole. "Nicole, Can I talk to you?" I instantly stop at her voice, and turn around in shock. What the hell is she doing here? "I thought I told you to stay away from her, didn't I?" Alessio approaches her but I quickly stop him. The look in Tara's eyes indicates that she is desperate. She always has that look when she is scared or worried about something. "Hold on, babe" I grip Alessio's hand and he turns to me with raised brows. "Talk," I say without letting his hand go. Tara takes a step forward but Alessio stretches his hand forward to stop her. "Remain where you are, and make this quick. I feel nauseated just staring at you" Alessio snaps, and she instantly stops with a silent nod. That was a bit harsh and it appears to hurt her feelings. I don't know why I can't hate her just yet. "I wanted to tell you to be careful around your brother. He has been talking to Ernesto for some time now" She cautiously looks around us as if she's scared of being caught. No one likes a s
Nicole. "What is it?" I eagerly whisper, waiting for him to tell me something that may be useful. "When I met your brother. It wasn't a coincidence like I have been believing. Leonardo approached us with a deal. He wanted protection from me and in return, he worked for me. He was good with his gun and we didn't question him or perform a background check-up. Now, I am beginning to think he was sent by Ernesto" "The star tattoo that matches yours, he didn't have it. Do you know for how long you have had this" He holds my wrist and places a gentle kiss on the mark. My brows furrow in confusion as I stare at the supposed sibling tattoo. Where is he going with this? "As long as I can remember, I don't know how I got it" I frown at the mark and glance back at the man holding me. "I think we need to be cautious until you remember if he is even your real brother" Fuck me. First, it was Liam, and now, Leo? It can't be. "The resemblance Alessio, we share the same eye color" "There
Alessio. She stares at me in shock and silently lays back down. Ernesto did it. I am sure of that. At the ball, the bastard slipped away and left a trail of his men behind. My men and I got rid of all of them. Unfortunately, when I was done he had already gone into hiding. We had to pin Leo down for information after that and it only got worse. How could he, in his senses trust Julio? Leo has been working for me for some time and I assumed he knew all the snakes in the game, Clearly, he didn't Julio and Ernesto go way back. Their families had an alliance for years and to this day, they don't hunt each other unless one is getting in the way of another. He even had the audacity to sell his sister off. The only woman I love. He has been a sick pain in my ass lately and I assumed it was because he cared for his sister but no. " What is wrong with her son?" Father follows me to the kitchen when I return the glass, and I sigh leaning on the counter. "Ernesto messed her up Dad. He w
Nicole. Should I take it? This is what I wanted for a long time right? Freedom. The only problem I have is money because Ernesto froze my accounts and right now an opportunity is staring at me, why am I hesitating? " Take it" Alessio forces the card in my hands but I am finding it hard to accept it. The look in his eyes says it all. He doesn't want me to. Alessio wants me to trust him and stay. No matter what decision I make, I know I can't change the fact that I love him, and he is probably feeling something for me too. So with a shaky breath, I take the card and place it back in his wallet. I am a lot of things but I can't bear the thought of hurting him. I will give this one more chance and if it doesn't work, then I will look for a way out and that is without his money nor help. " I don't want your money Alessio, I want something else" I murmur and his brows furrow in confusion. " What is it" he whispers squeezing my waist and I sigh leaning forward. " I want your heart"
Nicole."What do you mean I'm getting married, Alessio?" I whisper in disbelief as I stare at my supposed brother.From one shitty brother to another. Just great."Nicole I'm sorry, it's not as serious as you think" Leo defends and I can't believe he just said that. "Not as serious?" I mumble, taking unsteady steps towards him" You signing my life away is not as serious as I think?"Now everything makes sense. How he didn't want me with Alessio. Him being cool with the reckless Alex when he picked me up. Also, the smirk on Julio's face the other day, I knew there was a reason behind it.I didn't understand why they almost killed Ernesto's son for hurting me while we just met.I look at Leo in disbelief.He is just like everyone. Using me for his gain.I should have ran when I had a chance. This world will surely ruin me beyond my limits."He is gay Nicole. His dad found out and he is trying to manipulate him"."And you thought I was an object to be used by them?" now I wish I never
Nicole.I swear, I'm dying inside.This is why I had promised to start taking care of myself. Who is this girl and why is Alessio calling her bunny?She is so beautiful that she's making me feel self-conscious. Alessio never talks softly to anyone apart from me, he even said please.Like what the hell?I'm sure as fuck that he doesn't have a sister."Baby, who is she?" I lowly mumble in curiosity. He is mine and I will fight for him even when I have zero strength. "Can we go already, I can't be here anymore second" the girl impatiently speaks shifting from one foot to another. Her green eyes glance around and back to us and she frowns at our lack of movement. She has a slight Russian accent and that explains her looks. Alessio is not Russian.Is he cheating on me?"Let's talk later " he places a haste kiss on my cheek and rushes to the midst of the fight. The girl gives me one bored glance and starts walking toward the back entrance. I'm left with no choice but to follow.It's like
