“What is it?” Camilla breathed in anticipation.

“Can you please sleep in my room?” Alessandro dropped the bomb of a question, and it exploded in Camilla's face.

“What? Why? Why will I sleep in your room?” She stammered, eyes the size of saucers. Immediately, she shook her head at him. Sleeping in the same room with a guy who was as devilishly handsome as Alessandro was like presenting to a cat a golden bowl of tuna and telling it not to eat it.

“It's not possible.” Camilla told him matter-of-factly.

Alessandro inhaled a deep breath, his shoulders feeling heavier than normal. He locked his gaze back on Camilla and began to explain.

“The agonising pain of the wound comes and goes, so I'll need someone beside me to help with painkillers and massaging of the pain-reducing creams into my torso.”

Even though Camilla wanted to help him because he saved her life and from a lot of pain if she had managed to survive. She wanted to give herself space from Alessandro; he seemed like a playboy, so

    Salvatore in a grey suit marched menacingly to his study with two armed bodyguards in black suits striding closely behind him.“Dorothy will take you to your room. I'll catch up with you later.” Alessandro told Camilla with a firm nod, and then he began to descend the flight of stairs, following his uncle's tracks to his study. Soon he was in front of the gleaming, towering mahogany door. He knocked, but the air around him was filled with silence, so he let himself in. He walked into the room and saw his uncle sitting majestically in a deep brown armchair behind his large desk. Salvatore sat cross-legged, his eyes narrowed to slits. He dragged and puffed the brown cigar in his right hand with a glass of black rum in the other. He had his two bodyguards standing at Akimbo slightly behind his chair, their eyes clad with black glasses. He walked closer to Salvatore with clenched teeth, stepping on the red plush burgundy rug at the centre of the room; the study had a traditional feel to

    “AH!” A scream erupts from Alessandro's room at three A.M. In the morning. It was loud enough to jolt everyone out of their sweet sleep.Doors were thrown open. Everyone came out of their respective rooms trying to find the origin of the sound.Camilla, not an exception, strode out of her room in the new pyjamas that Dorothy had given her since her clothes were still at Allen's.While walking along the hallway, Camilla walked into Ruby, stepping out of her room. Her face was blank with confusion as they both walked to the loft of the staircase, where they met Salvatore in his robe and Dorothy with some other maids who had woken up.“Alessandro is not here!” Salvatore noticed looking between everyone in the loft, “Something is wrong.” He led the way, striding to Alessandro's room.Almost at the front of his door, they heard another agonising scream before Salvatore shoved the door with an open palm push such that the back of the door banged against the wall inside his room. “What is it

    Alessandro's eyes, following her every movement, were not helping her nerves at all. With trembling hands, she opened the cream and spread it on both of her palms.Staring at his glistening torso, her heart jumped. Her throat dried. Her core throbbed. She began with his washboard stomach. She rubbed every muscle. Every abdominal muscle. Every ripple. Every rough edge and side, until she started to feel a pleasant heat build up in her core.Her hands transcended to his chest, and she didn't know when she squeezed her legs together and let out a non-silent moan. Alessandro heard it and nearly burst into laughter. Her cheeks nearly burnt in embarrassment.“What did I just hear?” Alessandro asked with a stupid smile on his face, which made Camilla wonder if he was actually sick.“You heard nothing." Camilla rolled her eyes at him, slapping his chest. “Turn around so I can rub your back.” Alessandro eyed her with a smirk on his face before turning around.Her hands, soft as velvet, moved o

    “Grandma!” Allen called, crumpling to the floor when he saw Barbara lying unconscious on the floor, as foam bubbled out of her mouth. He shook her vigorously, but she didn't wake up. He checked her pulse and saw that it was still there. He grabbed his phone from the table and called the security men in the building.They took the lift, and in a few minutes they were at his door. They helped carry Barbara to the car park of the apartment complex, where she was put in the back seat of his car. Allen's car tore out of the park at record speed; his knuckles turned white, gripping the steering wheel.Barbara couldn't die. He couldn't have killed her, could he? Even inside his well-air-conditioned car, beads of sweat formed on his forehead and his back.He raced against time, weaving through night traffic. He hurtled through the city, dodging cars and swerving around obstacles. His heart pounded as they pushed the car to its limits, each second a precious commodity.His sharp intake of the

    I'll be with you in a minute,” Allen replied to the doctor. He broke out of the hug of his grandma and left a kiss on her forehead.“Let me see the doctor,” Allen said, following the doctor's tracks. Allen shut the door behind him as he stood face-to-face with the young doctor. She was a pretty blonde.“I take it that you are her grandson, yeah?” She asked, and Allen nodded.“I'm sorry to break it to you, but your grandma is suffering from Bradycardia; her heartbeat slows from time to time, which could lead to unconsciousness when under stress. Thankfully, the illness is in the early stages; she will recover soon.” The doctor explained, “But be careful; she has to eat healthy. Don't stress her out. Don't break certain news to her abruptly. Make sure she is in a calm and cheerful state of mind if you want to tell her anything sensitive.”“Thank you so much, doctor,” Allen expressed his heartfelt gratitude.“You are welcome,” the doctor said and left for another room while Allen entered

    Camilla held his hand as they strode into the mansion, away from Alessandro's intruding ears and eyes.When they got into the mansion, she let go of his hand. “Follow me,” she said, leading the way up the spiral flight of ornate stairs. An exotic red rug lined the centre of the staircase. She climbed the staircase, holding onto the railings for stability.Once in the loft, Camilla twirled and saw Allen's eyes darting all over the place in awe like a kid taken on an excursion to a zoo, and she smiled. When she first entered the mansion, she felt the same way.She saw one of the maids dressed in their usual pristine black and white. She asked her to help her bring two cold glasses of juice to her room.Allen tailed Camilla until they entered her room, and Allen eased the door closed.“Please sit,” Camilla offered Allen, pointing to the yellow armchair in her room while she sat at the armchair opposite him. They were separated by a small rosewood centre table.Allen sat and leaned forward

    You Bastard! Camilla cursed in her mind. While Alessandro straightened his cloth and fixed a smile on his face as he walked past Camilla into the room.Allen, hearing Alessandro's voice twirled, “Hi Alessandro.” He stretched his arms for a handshake, and Alessandro took Allen's hands in a firm handshake, nearly crushing Allen's knuckles when Allen tapped his arm with his other hand, and Alessandro released his hands with a proud smirk on his face.“Alessandro, you are interrupting a conversation here.” Camilla said, leaving the door ajar, and followed Alessandro into the room with a grimace, but Allen shook his head in disagreement.“No, it’s fine,” Allen told Camilla before facing Alessandro, “you can come and join us. I was just asking Camilla about her attack. You know who shot her.”Alessandro took a little step back from the slight verbal jab from Allen. “What are you insinuating?” Alessandro asked, glaring at Allen, “That I sent those who shot her?”Allen shook his head, feignin

    The tension in Camilla's room dipped when Alessandro left. After locking the door, Camilla rested on it for a while, exhaling a deep breath of relief, and then walked back to the table.While Allen ambled to the yellow armchair and slumped on it, plopping his elbow on the armchair and his fists under his chin, he said, “What was that all about?” He asked, the pain in his voice bare.“I don't even know, myself; I'm quite confused,” Camilla frowned, sinking into the seat opposite Allen.“Why did you act as though I was your boyfriend?” Allen drummed his fingers, beating an impatient rhythm on the arm of the chair he was sitting on.Camilla leaned back in the armchair, crossing her right leg on her left. “I did that to get some space from him,” she said honestly.Allen raised his brows at her. “You did that to get some space from him? But I asked if he was disturbing you in any way, and you said no.” Allen reasoned.“Not in that way,” Camilla began and opened her mouth to continue but co

    CAMILLA'S POVI broke away from the kiss with a rasp, “While you were away I had to get a helping hand.”“What helping hand?” He asked and I stuffed my hand inside the side of the sofa, “This,” I said pulling out the pink dildo with a suction cup from the side of the chair.. His eyes widened. I didn't know you were this… Wild.”I blushed looking away from him, but he turned my face to him and said, “There is no reason to be shy.” He lifts me in his arms and places me on the table, “I love my girls wild.” He said, taking off my palazzo trousers and panties and bending to his knees, “On the day you bought it did you play with yourself when you got home?” I suck in a sharp breath as he places a kiss on my inner thigh. “I’ve played with myself every night since you left me alone.”His eyes meet mine. “You missed my cock?”“Yes I missed it,” I drawled, needy.“From today, If you play with yourself at night, I want to fucking hear it.

    After finishing my meeting with the board of directors of the company I just bought, I called Camilla but she was not picking my calls. That was quite unusual. I called her about five more times but she still didn't pick up. Maybe she was swamped by work. I went back to the mansion after the meeting. After undressing and putting on something more simple I walked straight to my study to do more work. As I sat on the swivel chair in my study I checked my phone.I had missed calls from Santino. He must have been calling to plead for the release of his father and uncle but that is one of the last things I cared about at this moment. I'll make him suffer for his sins. I called Camilla back and she still didn't pick up.I decided to do some work before calling her again. After about one hour of working, I tried her number again. And this time it was not going through at all. I grew restless and worried, so I drove down to the bakery myself. Once I walked in, the store was brewing with a l

    It has been four days since we opened the bakery. I had about a hundred thousand dollars sitting pretty in my bank account. Even though the money still belonged to Alessandro I couldn't help the feeling of pride that swelled within me at having that amount of money in my account. The same person who barely had a thousand dollars to her name eight months ago now has about fifty five thousand dollars which Is mine and a total of a hundred thousand dollars in my account. That is growth in my definition. I dreamt sweet dreams with these thoughts in my head. I woke up the next day feeling so fly and happy. Who says money doesn't buy happiness? I felt as though I could buy the world with just fifty five thousand dollars in my name. And people say that money doesn't buy happiness. What would happen when I have a million dollars to my name? I might as well walk on water.I stood from my bed. I put on the sound system and connected it to my phone and began to play music.I swayed my body f

    CAMILLA'S POV“Ruby?” I answered with wide eyes.“What is she doing here?” Alessandro asked the question that was in my mind.“I don't know if she had mentioned that she had something to tell me. I guess that's why she is here.” I explained to Alessandro and I saw a frown crease his face. His face became suddenly distant. “Please let her in.” I told clara who immediately left the office. Probably not wanting to be tagged as a gossip, but it was people most likely like her were the greatest gossips of all time.“Why do you look so annoyed? you obviously don't want to see her, what did she do?”“Nothing really.” he shrugged, “I'm just no5 fond of her anymore.”“Does she still stay at your house?” I asked my eyes swimming in curiosity and he grimaced at me.“Gossip,” he teased and inlaughed “Oh please, Alessandro, just tell me. Why are you eating like a Saint now as though you don't ask me personal questions about people too. And by the way this is just my first time.”“I'm just doing

My head was throbbing so much as though there were invincible hands pressing my head together to squish out juice from it.Even with my heavy eyelid closed I could feel the full sunlight filtering through the curtains into the apartment. The apartment?How did I get to the apartment? I was at the club. Then I left with someone… Jeez.

I felt a presence beside me and when I looked I saw Alessandro and immediately a sudden calm settled around like a cold blanket of warmth. I hurled in a deep breath, slowly closing my eyes and opening it to catch myself. “Thank God, I wasn't picked up by some psycho.” I looked down at myself and a gasp escaped my lips when I realized I was wearing one of my night wears.

  • Blood and Buttercream   I Fell Asleep

    CAMILLA'S POVTears slipped from my eyes immediately as the elevator shut against Alessandro and I let myself collapse to the floor of the elevator as it descended. The cold of the metal floor seeping through my dress, a mirror to the cold world we live in.Loneliness clothed me like a thick cloth. With no one to rest my shoulder and cry on except the one I couldn't let myself go to. He was my only true ally. Ruby was too busy plotting new tricks, and my mother doesn't give a rat's ass if I was dead or alive. Alone. Maybe I was a true workaholic, like Ruby always said. How can a full-grown woman like me not have friends? Could it have been because I didn't go to college?The ding of the elevator pulled me out of my daydream, and I scrambled to my feet immediately so I didn't leave the security personnel wondering if I was mentally stable.Once the elevator opened fully, I trudged out of the elevator into the hallway, where a few couples were dining and laughing.

    “I'm faring well,” she swirled the wine in her glass with fidgety hands. “What about you?”“Bad.” I said, leaning in to the table, and saw her face go blank. She might decide to hide her feelings, but I'm not about to hide mine.“May I know why?” She asked, setting her glass on the table after taking a sip.“Because I missed you.” I told her and saw surprise splash across her face before she masked it in careful indifference.“How did the advertisement for the bakery go?” she asked carefully, and I leaned back on my chair.“Yes, I'm done with it.” I said, taking a quick gulp of my wine to lubricate my dry throat, “We can open tomorrow and start preparing for the next few days and weeks because it will be such an intense period of growth.”“You are so confident in your strategies.” She said, and I smiled, looking up at the dazzling star-filled sky and inhaling a deep breath.“Of course.
