Crystal ran as fast as her legs could carry her out of the vicinity of the boutique. She wanted to get as far away from Leonardo as possible.

Her breathing was unsteady as she pushed through the busy crowd that swarm around her like a tide, nervously hitting people and almost tripping in her steps as she scrambled to get away from Leonardo.

She kept on taking cursory glances of her surroundings especially at her back, anxiously checking if she would spot Leonardo amongst the crowds trying to get to her.

She knew by now he must have already figured out she was gone from the boutique. If not now then soon he would notice her disappearance but by then she hoped she would be far away from his hold.

Crystal had no idea where she was heading to as she pushed through the crowds.

"I'm so sorry"

"Sorry. Excuse me"

"I'm truly sorry" were the words she had been fumbling out as she pushed against people, shuffling her feets through the paved walkways.

Slowly, she began loosing her str

  • A Mafia's Obsession   Chapter 13--I hate you Leonardo!

    CRYSTAL I sat in the car with Leonardo, mortified hands clenching on to my wet dress that seemed like it was glued to my trembling body. A deadly silence spread through the atmosphere like a wild fire, destroying every thing in its path as Leonardo drove along the high way. I scrutinised his facial features as he drove. He was still visibly angry and it was affecting his way of driving. He drove speedily like we each had an extra life, overtaking cars and honking unnecessarily."Leonardo.."I called out in a shaky breath.I got no reply but his gaze terribly focused on the road accompanied by his menacing look."Thank you"I voiced out in one breath, my tone wavering. He immedately took a sharp turn which made me let out a shriek and pulled over."You are thanking me?"His acrimonious voice sarcastically asked. I nodded my head frightfully unaware of what next to say."Do you know what could have happened to you if i hadn't come on time?"He barked like an angry dog. I knew fu

    CRYSTAL A week passed since Leonardo shamelessly disgraced me in front of the guest in his party. I still couldn't believe he had the temerity to say that to someone who didn't even want to show up at his goddamn function in the first place. I never wanted to be in this house to begin with. I was forced in here. I lived my life in this solitary confinement. I had every means of communication to the outside world ripped away from me.I was more or less a prisoner and he had the guts to call me a maid. I am fully convinced Leonardo escaped from an asylum. I hate that man so much. To actually think he would have the decency to apologise to me after the vulgar things he spat at me in the party.I guessed I expected too much from him. He is nothing but a beast that's incapable of having human emotions. I hate him so much and I just wish I could end my misery by killing him.I hadn't even set my eyes on him after that incident. I could still remember the taunting smiles that everyon

    CRYSTAL I slept so soundly like a baby yesterday night knowing that Chase was practically living with me under the same roof.It was absurd, unbelievable and too good to be true. I could not keep track of the multiple number of times I woke up at night asking myself if I was literally dreaming. This world seemed to be such a small world. Some days ago I was sulking in my bedroom, cursing Leonardo for bringing me into this prison called a mansion.I never believed I'll get to see Bailey or Mabel ever again not to talk of chase.But it seemed the universe has a way of aligning things.Now I felt regenerated and for once, I felt extremely happy.Who knows how long it would last?I just wished Leonardo would never come back."Goodmorning Crystal"Chase greeted me the minute he spotted me as I came downstairs."Goodmorning chase. How was your night?"I merrily responded.He flashed me a smile. "It was placid, what about yours?" We both moved toward the dinning section.A banquet of bre

    CRYSTAL I walked ponderously downstairs, my hands scraping against the walls of the hallway as I reminisced about what happened yesterday evening between I and chase. I felt my cheeks going beetroot red whenever I remembered how he interlocked his fingers with mine. The feeling was incredible,unrivalled with any sort of emotion.I totally felt myself relaxing and I allowed his soft touch to soothe and calm my torrentious nerves. A giggle escaped my lips as my thoughts kept on driving back to chase. He made me so happy and he had just been here for a day.I wish he would never go. I just wished.My flip flops made smacking sounds as they hit the tiled floors which irked me. The imperial living room was as busy as usual.I held on to the railings of the stair case as I alighted from it. Workers were cleaning, mopping, vacuuming every nook and cranny even though the house looked spotless. God. Leonardo had truly ignited fear in the minds of all of them. Even when he was absent, they

    Crystal stared at the dangerous figure of Leonardo who loomed by the doorway of the library.The look in his eyes were threatening. She had never seen it before. The muscles in his jaw clenched and unclenched. His fist were balled up so tight she could swore his knuckles were turning white. His demeanour spoke off raw anger. Raw, bloody and threatening."How dare you Crystal?"He asked rather too calmly as he took predatorial steps towards a trembling Crystal and confused chase.Chase stood up with a smile but it vanished once his eyes snapped with Leonardo's fiery gaze.Crystal bolted up at once and swiftly stood in front of chase in a flash, keeping Leonardo and him distant."Leonardo please I can explain"Crystal spoke up trying to stop the jitters from spreading across her body but it was of no use.Leonardo had his persistent gaze on both of them, his bloodshot eyes scaring the wits out of them."Crystal what's going on?" Chase asked calmly but his tone had already begun failing hi

    CRYSTAL My heart was thumping. It was slamming against its rib cages, threatening to be let out so it could sink into its deepest abyss of sadness and despair. I was still trying to grasp the events that just occurred. I can't believe Leonardo had chase beaten up and the brute actually called me his damn woman!?When did i become his woman?Wasn't I the same Crystal he embarrassed in his function and had me flogged because I refused to have dinner with him.So when the hell did i become his woman?Why was he trying to make me feel accountable to him? I hated all these.This pain, this heartache is hard to bear. Leonardo is gradually turning my life into hell. I'm struggling to keep myself afloat in this abyss of darkness that has become my world. My feets quickened in their own accord making me run sharply towards my room.Once inside I shut the door hard with the noise reverberate through the air and carried my staggering legs to the shower. My lips quivered with each breath I

    Crystal's pale hands slowly tried moving across the sheets of her bed. But it was barred by a pain so excrutiating it caused her eyes to fly open in an instant. Pain. Every part of her body was screaming pain. How did she come to feel so much pain?It exploded within her skull, trying to suck her back into her shadowy abyss of darkness.Her vision was blurry and her head seemed heavy. It spinned like a roller blade that had lost its control.A beep accompanied by another beep was heard. She whopped her head to see the foreign device causing that noise she felt was annoying like a bug.A shaky breath escaped Crystal's parted lips as her eyes locked with the various medical equipments that were placed like barriers next to her bed. Intravenous injections were pierced into her rigid arms. She made another weak attempt to move but it felt like her joints were glued together, incapable of separating. The pain shot through her cells again and Crystal pinched her eyes closed. It wa

    Inaudible yellings was what she could decipher in her slumber. She squeezed her eyes tight as she tried to focus on her sleep but the yellings echoed in her mind. It felt like it was coming from a faraway place, pulling her into its hold. At once Crystal shot her eyes open. Her weak vision was distorted and blurred.Her eyes trailed to the curtains that were opened wide in hopes of a tempting breeze. The sky was painted in a horizontal canvas of blue, orange and pink colours, throwing its enthralling beauty over the mansion. How long had she been unconscious? Through out the day she had been slipping in and out of consciousness.One moment she was awake and the next moment she found herself being dragged back into the abyss of darkness by a strong magnet like pain that was smashing to smithereens her limbs and cells. She squinted her eyes to try and make out the face of who it was thundering orders.It was Leonardo. By the looks of it, he clearly had no clue she was awake as h

    Epilogue3 years Later"Leonardo. Oh my God. Harder please" Crystal moaned as Leonardo's grip on her hair became tighter, his thrusts from behind increasing rapidly in pace inside her. Leonardo groaned deeply as he rocked her insides, riding her ferociously whilst his free hand was placed on the arch of her back, making Crystal's ass stick out further."Fucking. Sweet. Shit."Leonardo moaned lowly. He was very close to his orgasm. He groaned breathlessly, thrusting faster and faster, going in deeper with each thrust. Crystal bit her bottom lip in painful pleasure trying so hard not to pass out as a result of the manner in which he was pounding into her. The orgasmic sensation resurfaced in her. She could feel her legs shaking in ecstasy. Her legs and stomach spasmed. She couldn't take it any more as Leonardo carried on going so rough, quick and hard in his thrusts into her. "Leonardo!"Crystal screamed in a loud moan, climaxing and releasing herself so intensely.He still kept

    Her partially numb fingers subconsciously tried moving around the satin white sheets of the hospital bed but every movement proved abortive and was barred by a severe pain that flowed through the young woman's battered up body. The state of being dead isn't suppose to be painful is it?Death comes with absolute numbness to everything and every one around you. It is a peaceful darkness that embraces you. It pulls you into its forever dark abyss and shuts down all your senses. It makes you forget both your pain and your happiness. But she could remember everything---the horrifying murder scene she stumbled upon, her eagerness to escape and the dangerous over speeding, the hot chase of Leonardo and his men as they tried to stop her from escaping and lastly the bloody crash of her Mercedes through the banister of the bridge. It was a vociferous crash that sparked a million pain cells within her. Crystal was completely immersed into darkness following that horrific accident.She

    CRYSTAL I felt sick in my stomach. My stomach churned and I almost gagged. Standing right in front of me was Leonardo and about three other men of equal muscularity. But that wasn't what got my attention. Strapped to a chair with heavy amount of blood tainting his shirt was a man. He was bleeding profusely, screaming for help and I happened to walk in on them the moment Leonardo snapped his neck broken. I held on to the door frame to keep myself from actually collapsing on to the ground.What the hell did I just witness? The air had this stench of blood and death in it. Leonardo did not notice my arrival at first due to the adrenaline rushing through him, vexation and rage eagerly dancing within his eyes until I whimpered and gasped in horror and shock. Only then did his blue eyes trailed up to look at my trepadised form. I could tell his jaws dropped on seeing me. Blood was smeared over his shirt, along with his arms and some splattered on his face. "What..... are you do

    CRYSTAL I yawned lazily with my eyes slowly peeling open the next morning. My hands stretched to feel the warmth of the body I had given myself to last night but the sheets were cold. My eyes immedately flew open in an instant. Leonardo wasn't on bed with me any more.His masculine scent was still lingering on my bed. The sun was very well high in the sky, it's bright rays shining down at me through gaps in my curtains. I sat up straight, my mind reminiscing about what took place last night between I and Leonardo.A subconscious smile walked its way to my lips. I had given myself to Leonardo last night. We made sweet, slow love and I loved it. I loved every bit of it. I looked down on my bedsheets. I could spot signs of blood on it---reminding me of my once virgin state. Leonardo had been so gentle with me last night. It was a moment of weakness. He looked dangerously sinful too. From his dishevelled messy hair to his unbuttoned shirt and to his soft blue eyes--he li

    Leonardo's tongue greedily explored her mouth, tasting every corner with such a lustful vigour. The kiss took her breath away-- swayed her off her feet and caused a fervently burning sensation to soar within her. It felt so long since they got to taste each others lip. The kiss sparked a million butterflies fluttering in her core. Her petite arms wrapped around Leonardos broad shoulder, tangling with his messy dark hair. She ran her hands through it and yanked a fistful of it."You are hurt"Leonardo raspily reminded her pulling back and panting. Pure, searing hot lust danced in his eyes. Crystal could see the desire, lust, need and want for her in his blue orbs. Most importantly, she could decipher concern in them too. It was clear as crystal."I'll be fine"Crystal reassured him.That was the only confirmation he needed to go on. His carouse hands trailed from her cheeks down to her neck and it slipped past her bandages. Crystal felt her toes curling up in delight. Her hands

    The days rolled by like a blur in the Mansion. It had been weeks since Leonardo had put back his cold hearted, vile mask towards Crystal. Their relationship was now very strained. Leonardo seldomly was around and he when he was around, he avoided and ignored Crystal like a deadly plague.It all still felt like a bad dream to Crystal. A very bad dream she wished to wake up from. The sudden change in Leonardo's attitude was alarming. It shook Crystal to the core, smashing to smithereens any hope she had of actually having a future with Leonardo. He became more cold to her than he was when she first arrived in the mansion.Atleast then Leonardo would occasionally demand for her presence in the dinning room and he would always want to keep his steady gaze on her. But reverse was the case now. He hardly even looked her way talk more of calling her to eat with him.Though they lived together, they had become strangers to each other. Whenever Leonardo and her would bump by in the hal

    CRYSTALI sat on a stool with Maya in the kitchen, helping her in preparation for dinner. It's been a week since I got my almost fatal gun shot wound. Some times I couldn't help myself but think of what would have become of my fate if I wasn't rushed to the hospital on time.I could have been six feets below the ground by now. My shoulder still felt sore. It all felt like a dream to me but the bandages on my chest served as a reminder for my almost near death experience.But one question that still got me bothered was who shot me?And why?Could it be related to Leonardo's mafia or something else? I had no enemies if I could vividly remember. Hell I was too broke to make enemies.My whole life revolved around fending for I and Mabel until Leonardo's arrival into my life. Leonardo had suddenly vanished into thin air. It hurt me deeply whenever I thought of him.I mean the dude said he loved me! Who does this to someone they claimed to love?!

    LEONARDO "In the past four months" I began, leaning back into my chair and puffing out cigarette smokes into the air. "Our drugs have always had a hard time in passing through Ecuador and Panama which borders Columbia" I studied the facial expression of Stefano harden, his fists clenching as it encircled the glass of water placed before him. Stefano oversaw the distribution of our drugs through the boarders of Ecuador to Columbia and also from Paraguay to Argentina."Look Stefano, I got word that the drugs had been recovered"I told him."Well thanks to me"I conceitedly added. "But I always encounter difficulties when those fucking drugs are being sent through the boarders of Ecuador and Columbia and I find it so surprising since I have high classed politicians in my pay roll and I pay those bitches sitting in the embassy and boarder" I grimaced at Stefano. I watched his mind raced far, probably thinking of an explanation to defend himself. "W-well y-you can't blame me. The c

    Pain is crushing, agonising and it is merciless. It is capable of breaking even the strongest minds, shattering them to smithereens and pulling them into a pithole of agonising torture. Once it's makes its ugly head known, it sweeps every thing good away like a vicious storm and twist them against you.It makes you beg. It makes you crumble. It makes you numb and void. Her eyes slowly opened to a golden glow spread across the dark room, illuminating it fairly. Although her eyesight was weak, her ears could hear distant crackling of fire. The fireglow danced by the side of her vision. This clearly wasn't her room.She didn't have her fireplace built in her room.It then dawned her that she was in Leonardo's room. Her head spinned as she tried to decipher what had happened to her.Like a comet, the memories hit her.She was shot.Crystal had been falling in and out of consciousness.
