CHAPTER 61CHERRY’S POV“You!”Laura exclaimed after she finally saw my face.Ugh! This fucker was just going to get in my way. I would have to get rid of her…not permanently of course. Although I wish I could do just that, it’s going to get way too messy. I lift up my gun and bang her head with the side of it to knock her out. She immediately drops to the cod tiles, losing consciousness. I took a good two months in planning for and anticipating this moment,and now it was finally happening. I wasn't going to let some bitch ruin it within seconds.You are probably really confused so let me take you back in time.๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑๑˙❥˙๑FLASH BACKIt was another sunny day in summer and I had just finished taking a swim at the top of my boyfriend's penthouse and getting some tan of course. I walked back inside and was surprised to see Richard sitting in the living room at this time of the day, usually he should be busy with work at this time so it was shocking to see him sitt
CHAPTER 62LAURA'S POVMy head was pounding furiously in pain, my eyes flutter open and I tired to understand what was happening. I noticed that I was currently flat on the floor… in my brother's bedroom?I looked around the room questionly and my gaze stopped at where I noticed another presence. oh that bitch, Cherry! she looked like she was done with whatever the hell she was doing since she was now returning the files she had been snooping through earlier. She had a proud smirk that was doing a great job at making me incredibly angry. I wasn't going to let her get away with this!I tried to move my body to get up which resulted in my head pounding all over again. what I really wanted to do was taken some Advil and taking a fucking nap but I know I couldn't do that because now was definitely not the time for that. ignoring all the pain, I forced myself to standing position. My change in position quickly makes Cherry alert."What are you doing here?" I asked."Nothing sweetie, I'm le
CHAPTER 63VALERIE'S POVAfter informing Cherry and Laura that we would be out for the day, I and Stephano stepped out of the mansion and headed to the parking lot."You are going to drive yourself?" I asked after noticing there was no driver in sight."Yes I am," he replied."Ohh… can I drive instead?" I asked excitedly.Stephano stared blankly at me without saying a word."Ok nevermind" I muttered and reluctantly moved to the passenger seat."You can drive us, just this once though" Stephano said and threw the car keys to me which I caught effortlessly."Thanks!" I said excitedly with a giggle.Stephano had a small smile on his face as he entered the passenger seat after I was already seated in the driver seat."You know what, I think I'm going to sit at the back" Stephano said and made a move to get down."No! That's going to make me look like your driver!" I grumbled."Relax, I was just kidding," he said, chuckling.I stared at him in daze, wondering how he could laugh in such an a
CHAPTER 64STEPHANO'S POV"What's going on here??!" Stephano's voice boomed loudly across the hallway.Cherry looked at him frightened and Laura on the other hand looked really glad that her brother was finally here."She was snooping around!! she is probably a spy! I saw her taking pictures of some documents in your room!!" Laura shouted.I stared in shock at Cherry who looked guilty and wasn't trying to defend herself. Did I really bring in a spy inside Stephano's mansion?? I turned to look at Stephano worriedly only to find him already looking at me with an intense gaze, like he was watching my reaction to this.Was he suspecting me? Did he think I had anything to do with it?? He turned away, sparing me that intense look."Cherry, is this true?" I asked in shock."You wouldn't understand, I had to" she muttered quietly, so low that it was hard to catch her words but I heard them anyway."What do you mean by that??? Is that the real reason you came here? Was any of your sob story ev
CHAPTER 65RICHARD'S POVI was on the edge all day, eagerly waiting on Cherry's return. It was nighttime now and was still yet to return and I couldn't reach her. Her phone has been turned off all day. I knew Cherry fully well that she wouldn't just decide to ignore my calls especially in such an important situation. Now that could only mean one thing… She wasn't successful in her mission.I had sent out some men to go check for her when it was getting a bit late and she was supposed to have escaped from Stephano's mansion. But it turns out that there weren't any signs of her so it's likely she was still stuck under Stephano's ruthless grip."Fuck! fuck! fuck!" I groaned repeatedly, hitting my desk in frustration. I threw all the contents on top of my desk down to the floor in anger, the sound of glass shattering resonates but I could care less. I was just too frustrated by the turn out event. I had no idea what I was going to tell my father but I knew I would be needing his help in o
CHAPTER 66VALERIE'S POVToday was the day I and Gabe planned on going to the club. I didn't return home last night and spent the night sleeping on Gabe's couch. That was the first step on messing with Stephano, he always required I took permissions but this time around I didn't say a word about not returning home .Stephano called and sent texts, demanding to know where I was. I just replied with ' I'm fine' and that was it. It was still in the afternoon but we wanted to go to the club now and not wait till evening. the club was an high end one so it was so well decorated and dimly lit so we wouldn't even tell the difference between the day and night so that made it just perfect."Gabe come on, let's get ready. help me do my makeup" I grumbled."Wait I'm coming, I'm trying to visualize the outfit I want to wear before I go check for it on my closet" he replied."oh come on! just get my make down while you continue trying to visualize your outfits. I don't know we you wouldn't just g
CHAPTER 67VALERIE'S POV"Look who decided to finally show up" I heard Stephano say, his voice coated in suppressed anger.I pretend not to hear him and stride past him, ignoring his presence. Stephano's large hands clasp my arm, stopping me in place. He dragged me back till my body collided with his hard chest."Where the fuck do you think you're going" he whispered from behind me."To my room of course" I replied sassily.He turned me around so I was now facing him, staring into his eyes."Where are you coming from?" he asked."Doesn't my outfit already answer your question? or do I need to spell it out" I replied ."So the feisty attitude is back" he muttered, his hands wrapping around my neck but making no move to choke me. I stared at him unbothered without flinching, feeling an unknown wave of confidence."Who was that guy?" he asked, the anger in his voice barely hidden.He was pissed… Just what I wanted"I don't know what you are talking about" I replied, playing dumb knowing
CHAPTER 68VALERIE'S POVI couldn't believe I had let myself get fooled once again. Not only did I get played by Cherry but now I have gotten played by her boyfriend also! And this time, it was ten times more serious. I felt terrible because I knew I was the cause of all this misfortune. If only I had bothered to find out who Cherry's boyfriend was exactly this wouldn't have happened, I would be at least free from his stupid trap. Although deep down in my head I knew he would use force if I wasn't so clueless about everything. So either way this was bound to happen, but that didn't stop me from feeling the need to blame myself for everything that happened. I wish I didn't leave the house at that moment, what shitty luck I had..."Don't bother screaming, they can't hear you nor can they see you" Richard informed me, his still on the road.I didn't want to bother raising my voice because that wouldn't be of any help and I was honestly fed up with everything, I wanted to figure out a way
