2024-10-29 19:42:56The things she had been told as a kid, the things she had been trained and taught were wrong, Jasmine laid naked in Marcello's arm, snoring softly, sleeping soundly; she'd just lost her virginity and it still hadn't kicked into her brain that it wasn't what she'd been taught. She was still living the fantasy of being in the arms of a man like Marcello.
But Marcello laid awake, wondering, pondering; what the hell had just happened? It was like he was in a trans and could only hear and, obey a single voice. She said 'take me to your room' and he couldn't find any reason to deny her. He really did want her but for some reason, he thought it'd have been better if he'd said no; if he had just denied her. He never had this problem and gutly feeling with his other gazillion women. His guts were telling him that what he'd let happen should never have happened.
But it already had happened and Marcelo knew he couldn't go back.

Only two things ran through Marcelo's mind after he'd dropped Jasmine off and talked to Serena. As soon as possible had to get as far away from the area as possible; for his life and hers. He wasn't quite sure if he really had been traced already but he knew he couldn't take any chances. He had to leave and no one had to know: not even Jasmine..................Two days had gone by since Marcelo dropped her off and never texted or called her back. Jasmine focused her eyes on the message that had alerted on her phone. A bank alert of twenty-five thousand dollars deposited into her account that same night she'd seen him last. There was a grand total of fourteen million, eight hundred and four thousand, nine hundred and two (14,804,902) CFA in her account including the five hundred thousand francs she had received from her brother to process her documents for a passpo

Inside a full packed clubhouse, still trying to go undercover, Marcelo forced himself through the crowd, limping, his entire lefthand locked in a cask, a mask and his over grown hair covering his face, space left only for his eyes to see. He followed the familiar corridors of the back setting of the club, now his club. Inside his final destination, he limped himself over to a seat, behind which stood a girl in a black hoodie and ripped skinny jeans. Everyone else just watched in utter silence as he descended onto his throne.He made it! Under rough circumstances but still; he was now the leader of a mob; not just any; the biggest, baddest and most dangerous.For everything he'd been through as a fugitive, Marcelo swore to be soulless during his reign. He would strike fear into the souls of his enemies just by the mention of his name. He would become their nightmare: starting with the two people who had contributed in his hell experience.

(Fives years later)Five years.Five years? Yes! Five years! Jasmine reflected on the changes that had transpired in her life these past five years. She was a completely different person than the naive teenager she had been five years ago. Now she was an entrepreneurial woman raising her digits daily through her own braids brand she called; Raldine, after her mother. She hadn't seen any member of her family ever since she'd ran away from home, ran away from Cameroon, started her life; alone; with the money Marcello had left her as consolation; and, with her baby boy.Yes. Money wasn't the only thing Marcello had left her. He had scarred her for life: but he had also given the most precious gift she had; a baby boy she named Mars. He was almost five years old and while his mama hustled, he stayed home with his aunty Aisha. Aisha was ano

"Let me out of here please!""I promise I didn't see anything!""I have a son! Please let me go to him!"Jasmine screamed and screamed at the top of her lungs. She was feeling claustrophobic inside the cell they'd thrown her in. The only thing she could think about was her little Mars; what would happen to him: no mother, no father, no relatives; of Aisha was there but he wasn't supposed to be her responsibility. Aisha was already doing so much for her.She was going to relentlessly bang on the door until someone got her out."Can we kill her already?" Nikolai asked Serena. Her head was pressed hard against a table while her palms clasped both her ears. "Shut up bitch!" Serena yelled at the top of her lungs."We should just kill her!" Nikolai insisted. But he wasn't helping Serena's dilemma. Killing the girl wasn't her trouble; she

Something rang inside the silent room and Marcello shot someone an instant death glare."I will shove it down your throat if it doesn't quiet down while I think!""Sorry boss." One of the boys rushed out to answer his call.Marcello thought, for long and hard: Where could she have come from? How had she ended up there? Why was fate fucking a trick on him.In the last five years he'd used to build his empire, his world, his life, Marcello thought he had prepared himself for anything and everything that could possibly be thrown at him. He was positive he could face all obstacles, any threats: he was the biggest and most ruthless gang leader of the time; nothing could possibly bring him down: well, until a human being who had so much affected his buried innermost feelings at a certain point of his life which he had chosen to bury; until the girl named Jasmine, a split second romantic interest turned out to be his priso

Although her heels were already terribly sore, Jasmine still could not stop herself from running as fast as she could the minute she heard the van drive off. He'd let her go. Marcello had released her. She was to speak not a single word of him or anything else to anyone. She was free to go and go for good. Jasmine had been told, conditioned to leave the city and possibly the country with her son for their safety. She'd seen how dangerous Marcello's world was and he'd told her of how dangerous his enemies are: neither she nor her son was safe.But letting her go was not enough. Marcello had her followed. Until she and him were off the clear, he would not sleep in peace knowing they were around. He needed to make absolutely sure, to the smallest detail, that his love and his son were safe, away from him and his dangerous world.Jasmine wouldn't stop running. The words of his tongue kept ringing inside her head! She was t

"He hasn't slept this peacefully since you disappeared." Aïsha told Jasmine who half slept, half laid beside her sleeping boy."Neither have I, and I wouldn't be able to Aï, not until we get the hell out of here. We are not safe!""I am not detective Mc-model Jones so don't lie to me now. What happened? Why didn't you tell them what really happened to you,""I can't tell you, not while we're still in this town. Its dangerous. These people, these people..." Her hands were already trembling on the back of her son as she still patted him to sleep, "They killed... They are very very dangerous and might come back for me if we don't go.""If it is dangerous then you don't want to say it here." Aisha placed her own small hand over Jasmin's. "Everything is going to be OK. We will get out of here if we have to.""Thanks Aïsha. Thank you for being here for me always and for taking care of Marsy."

Marcello's hands literally remained confined under his pits as a precautionary measure to not punch the walls to bits and pieces. He had been seated for almost three hours and still, no one was coming to give him news about Jasmine's health condition. He wanted to punch something, someone; worse, he wanted to punch himself till his brain stopped functioning. He blamed himself for her state at the moment. If anything was to befall her, he'd never forgive himself: he had endangered her from the very moment he preyed into her life.He was her curse.And she didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve her. But he couldn't leave her; not anymore.He jumped to his feet the moment he caught site of the famous blue shirt of the operating doctor;"Max, how is she?

In a split moment, Jasmine was able to open her eyes, fully conscious of who she was looking at; his face wasn't as beautiful as when she had first fallen in love with him; it beared splashes of blood, strips of sweat, and a growing paleness. But he was smiling. Her eyes were focused on him thinking this could all be a dream but he was smiling, and that made her heart happy. She didn't care that her whole body felt like she was in a fire pit; or that he wa starting to look as white as casper the friendly ghost; he was smiling at her an that, that made her heart happy. She was in his arms, it was cold but she felt warm in his embrace. Looking into her eyes and watching the little light in her eyes, that gave Marcelo hope; hope that no matter what happened to him, she was alive; and that she could still make it. "Still breaking locks chicca?" he said to her, his voice hoarsed. "they were never locked! I love you Marcelo!" warm tears streamed down her eyes. He laughed. A sweet soft sou

Pain.That was all she felt as her eyes slowly opened.Pain and a burning in her back. While it seemed her back had been set aflame, her arms felt as if they were about to fall off. Jasmine resisted the urge to scream, knowing completely why she was in pain. How easily she had been caught. She knew it was endgame she'd felt those big calloused hands grab across her neck when she dashed for the brightly lit door, feeling a sense of daylight behind it. An escape; one which failed terribly. Now she was so sure this was her end. She was going to die. No one would save her. After the torture of being whipped over a hundred times, she would finally have to die. how she was still alive was beyond her knowledge.Her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room fairly quickly. Her back burned, she didn't know how long she could take the pain, already her head was dizzy. Jasmine looked around what seemed to look like a cell, her eyes landing on a figure which stood to the side, concealed by shadows. Jas

Cold, that was her Jasmine's first feeling. She needed her blankets. She was shivering to her bones and drifting inside mind were memories of her life before all of this. The second thing to be registered in her minds eye was the hard ground beneath her, her bed had never been this hard. Even when after ber father had passed and her mum had had to shoulder the responsibilities of all four kids by herself, she never had to sleep on a bed this hard. And thirdly, was the pounding in her head. Jasmine opened her eyes only to squeeze them shut. Her head felt as if it were about to explode. She wanted to rip her hair out, the pain was excruciating. What had happened her?She slowly opened her eyes, biting her tongue in pain; the hammering feeling in her head would be the death of her. Slowly, she sat up, taking in her surroundings. She had still been in the same room but an exception of the chains and ropes. She laid on the bare floor; that would explain the cold. But why was she here? And

For the briefest second, Jasmine felt like she was actually the messiah. She had played the role to perfection and in turn the children of a crazy Asian man who had the effrontery to put her only child up for sale to a Russian troop that actually wanted to kill them for revenge! My father my father! She remembered how her mother would wail when as kids she and her sisters would misbehave. She imagine looking up to the heavens in her own turn and crying out same. They say desperate times call for desperate measures: this time called for if not grace, a miracle. She needed a miracle. It was definite, there wasn't possibly anything that could save her if not a miracle. Her head pounded as She slowly blinked open her eyes. Darkness! How familiar. She thought to herself. Wether she had been safe or not, darkness had become very familiar to her lately. She wondered what time it was. It could have been bright and gleaming sunlight middle of the day. She couldn't tell.

In her black loose bottom pants, a grey silk top, a fitted black leather jacket and black combat boots, Serena matched her way into the backroom of the gallery, by passing a beautiful painting of the sea and a green viper in it.She reached a room where a man had been restrained: arms tied to the back of a chair. She got sight of his well muscled tone back partially covered by curls of dark hair.Apart from the chair on which he sat, there was a rectangular table that was placed directly in front of him. On it was a small briefcase and nothing more.She dropped her own bag on one side of the table then supported herself in the middle of the table; half sitting, half standing, with her hands folded under her breast giving a little lift and a better view of her cleavage, right in his face.But he didn't care.

"Lo sapevo! Lo sapevo cazzo! And I told you! I told we should never have let that girl out." Serena fussed. She strut about in hasty movements, putting piles together."Basta Serena. She has not betrayed me. Jasmine will not betray me again. I know she won't. We just have to know where they took her. Whoever did was probably trying to keep her away from us. We must find her and my son.""Dios! Marcello! How are you still so blinded by this girl? What the hell did she give you? You know what? I should have killed from the very first day I saw her." Her words barely left when she felt Marcello's hand hold a tight grip around her neck."Don't you ever repeat those words ever again! Or else I will not hesitate to break your neck.""Marcello you're hurting me," Serena put her hands around his big ones, trying to loosen his grip. She was gasping for air. He let her go.

Why was her own story different?Jasmine remembers reading a lot of books and stories and girls who found love in foreigners, and lived happy ever after: but why was her own story different?

She was sleeping when she heard someone slip into her cell room. She turned around to see Marcello seated beside her."Marcello? What are you doing in here?""I might not be able to see you again after tomorrow. I don't think I will able to watch," he paused,"It's OK. I'm prepared. I've seen worse.""You have, haven't you?" The way his eyes were searching into hers. It was like the secret of life was written in there. "Jasmine," he picked up her hand from her thigh, "Right now, I want us to forget. Forget that there's a complication threatening the life of our only son. I just want to ask you one question; is there anything happening with you and that detective?""Marcello, there's nothing with me and Dylan.
