"Guess who did it?" I thought about one possible person. "Lorenzo" I thought right. "That bastard" I said clenching my knuckle. Lorenzo Dante has always been a threat to us ever since I can remember. He never cease to get on our nerves. This time he has done the worst. I should have killed the bastard when I had the chance. He is surely going to die this time. "I want him dead" East demanded. "You just read my mind" I said and look at the men. Diego, Martins." I called, giving them a nod and we head out. Hang on tight Lorenzo. We are coming for you. Bastard. ************************************Cora I am cuddling Sky on my bed, in my room at the workers' quarters. Yeah I am out of that beautiful guest room and back in my room with my roommate, Nadia. I am just a worker here so I can't stay there forever. I like my room though. Mainly because Nadia is nice. And Sky is very comfortable here. I guess he has adapted very well already. The day has gone by fast like flash
CORA My face heat up as I stare into his beautiful eyes. So beautiful eyes he got. Oh geez. My heart is beating fast right now. "Cora?" "Hmm?" "Are you okay?" I nod. He stood up straight and made me stand too with his strong hands around my waist. He released my waist and I felt cold instantly. I look down shyly. "Watch your steps okay?" I nod slightly. "I can see you are feeling better now" I look at him. "Yes I am. Thank you for everything " He shrugged. "It's nothing. Just avoid my brother and everything will be fine" I nod slightly "Okay" "Good." He said touching my shoulder as he walk pass. "The uniform looks good on you by the way" he said smiling at me as he walked away. I blush hard. He smiled at me! He has a very beautiful smile You are really falling for him Cora. My subconscious mind says making me unease. I can't be falling for him. I have a boyfriend. And he will be mad if he finds out! No I can't be falling for him. You ar
"Have fun today" he said smiling as he walked pass me. I stood there watching him as he walked away. He called me pretty. My heart fluttered. My cheeks heated up. He called me pretty! Iris is waiting for you. My subconscious mind says making me rush off towards my room happily. I quickly took my bath and put on the dress. It is short sleeved dress that reached my knees. I like it. I stare at myself through the mirror admiring the dress as I let my hair fall. Seth came to my mind again. I have been thinking about him since he gave me the flower. I reach for the flower which is on my bed. I sniff it again, closing my eyes. It smells super nice. It is beautiful. It matches my dress. Sky bark out a bit making me look down at him. Chuckling, I lean down to his size. "It's a flower. Seth gave it to me. Beautiful right?" He brings out his tongue. Smiling, I pat his head as I stand up on my feet. Satisfied with my look I turn to Sky. "I am going out okay? First
IRIS Walking into my room, I sense Lisa follow behind. "Drop them on the bed" I said as I keep my purse on my makeup desk. Turning to look at her, I watch as she drop the bags on the bed carefully. She is so cute. Everything about her is cute. She make a step to leave. "Where are you going to?" I asked. She stop on her track. "Is there anything else you want me to do for you ma'am?" She asked. I tut, rolling my eyes. She is always formal. I hate it. Can't she see that I am into her? "No nothing" I said. She nod, making steps towards the door. "I didn't say you can go" I blurted. She stopped on her track. She hasn't been making eye contact and it is annoying the shit out of me. Ugh! She is the only one that make things hard for me. Girls throw themselves at me all the time at school. Why is she different? "Look at me" I ordered. She obeyed. My heart reacted. She has such beautiful eyes. She is so beautiful. I make steps towards her. She doesn't mov
They are the ones Seth was holding. He gave me one out of it. So he was bringing them for her. I felt a little pain in my heart. I watched as she hummed while arranging the flowers. She is smiling beautifully staring at the flowers. She noticed me staring. "Pretty flowers right?" She asked smiling. I nod smiling a bit. "I love them. They are my favourite. Orchid" she said as she admired the flowers once more. I look away sighing. I focus on my work. It still hurts but I am happy for them. I just can't wait to leave this place. I don't like it here. God please answer my prayers. Make Hunter come and get me. Please. ********************************** Hours pasted and I am back in my room. We all have eaten and we are about to sleep. I couldn't hold it, I decided to tell Nadia everything. "So Cindy was right" Nadia said making me arch my brow. "Cindy?" "My cousin. She use to work at the kitchen before ma'am Lisa changed her to work as a maid" "Oh" "She would always hi
East Hours earlier****** "This came in today sir" Lisa, my right hand woman and head of the house welfare said as she walked into my office holding a newspaper. I collected it from her, the first thing up front is that bastard, Julius Sanctus, one of my enemies celebrating his shipping success. After destroying mine? He is fucking celebrating his success? While I am still healing from the great loss I went through.. Ugh! My blood boiled as I read the headlines. Clenching on the fucking papers, I look up at Lisa. "Get Seth for me now" I snarled. "Yes sir" she head out. "Argh!" I let out my anger, pushing everything on my desk to the floor. I turn towards the window. Fuck! God that fucker knows how to annoy me. I just want to bury millions and millions of bullets into that mouth of his. Fucking maniac. "East" I turned the minute I heard Seth called, walking into my office. "Julius fucking Sanctus" I said placing the paper on my desk. He picks it up and read it. "Can yo
"You have some nerve to celebrate your shipping success when you know you caused why mine was destroyed you bastard!" I spat. "Look I didn't....I wasn't....." I point my gun at the bitch and shot her brains out. He gasped. The sound of my gunshot is silent. No one can hear it. Her body collapsed on the bed and blood flowed. He gasped. "Shhhh" I hushed as I walked towards him. "Don't be a pussy Julius. Don't make a noise or call your guards." He is shuddering seriously. "If you do, I will shoot you too. And you will be dead before they even get here" He is still shuddering as he looked at the dead girl. "Relax. You will join her soon." I said scoffing. "And you will continue from where you stopped, fucking that pussy" I said smirking before looking at the lifeless girl. I tut "Such a beautiful waste" I said still looking at her. Next I sense him take something from the nightstand and I feel a sharp slash on my ribs. "Ugh" I groaned in pain. He was super fast huh? Imp
Cora "Baby" I heard a whisper. I arch my brows in my sleep. "Baby wake up" The very familiar voice whispered again waking me slightly. My mind is playing with me again. I shifted on my bed, my eyes still closed. "Baby? It's me Hunter" Opening my eyes the minute I heard his voice loud and clear, I see him right in front of me looking down at me with a smile. I can't tell the excitement in my heart right now. "Hun.... Hunter?" He nod smiling at me. "Yes baby. It's me" I couldn't help but smile as I look around my surrounding. I am in my room. Nadia is still asleep and letting out snores as usual. And he is right here? How? With furrowed brows, I look back at him. "What's wrong?" He asked. "How did you....?" I asked. "Don't worry about that baby. What matters is, I am here and I am taking you with me" My heart fluttered with excitement hearing him say that. "I have missed you so much beautiful" My cheeks heat up hearing him call me beautiful like he always do. "I m
"The fuck?" Ivan asked."Who the hell is that?" Julio asked. "Don Rossi!" My dad yelled again. "Who is that?!" The don asked. "My.....my dad." I muttered, making everyone look at me. My heart pounded. "Just what we needed." Julio said, getting on his feet. So did Ivan. They both headed out. Eli got on his feet as well, but I held him.He looked at me. I shook my head. He held my hand. "It's okay. We just have to go talk to him." He said."No, no. Please. He will not listen. He is a stubborn man." I almost cried, still holding him tightly. "Malia," "Have you seen the shit you have put my son into, you little bitch?" The don asked, making us look at him. My heart clenched at his words. "Dad, don't," Eli said. The don scoffed. "Stay here, Malia," Eli said, releasing himself from my hold and headed out. "No, Eli," I called, standing on my feet as I watched him walking away. "Go after him." The don said."Eli told her to stay here." Eli's mother said to him."If your fathe
My heart raced as he came on top of me. He stared at me, making my heart bang. My head is all over the place. The look on his face shows that he wants to touch me. I want him to. I want to be nothing but his. All his. But I am scared. I am scared that this might trigger those awful moments with Carlos. "What is going on in your head, sunshine?" He asked. I stared at him, feeling greatly uneasy. His eyes rested on my chest. They moved back to me. "What are you thinking?" He asked. "N... nothing." I stuttered nervously. He maintained eye contact as he moved the tiny hand of my nightgown down, exposing my breasts to his hungry eyes. He leaned down and kissed the middle of my breasts. A whimper left my mouth. "You are lying." He said, making me more uneasy. He moved his mouth around my cleavage. I felt shivers running down my spine. "What are you thinking, baby?" He asked. Good gracious. "I....I am not thinking about anything." I stuttered breathlessly. "Why are you li
My heart clenched as I stared at Angela with Eli's mother. Her father is here and she is here too. That means they are here to convince Eli's parents, or they already have them so they can make Eli take her back. My heart tightened at my thoughts. "What is that bitch doing here, Dad?" Eli asked, making Angela's face twitch. "Eli," his mother called. "I know you are upset with my daughter, but you don't have to use such names," Mr Monero said. Eli scoffed. "If your daughter wasn't whoring around and fucking my brother, I wouldn't be calling her such names, Monero." Eli said. Mr Monero scowled at Eli. "Son, listen...." "Drop it, dad. I am done living my life for you and this family," Eli retorted. "Excuse me?" The don asked. "You fucking heard me. I don't know what your plans are for bringing these lunatics here, but I am not interested in Angela. She can marry Julio for all I care. At least they can pick up from where they started." Eli said, walking towards the stairs witho
My heart pounded where I stood. I looked ahead, and I saw my brothers walking towards the main entrance of the house. I can't let them hurt Eli. Why can't they leave him alone? Oh God. What am I going to do? Think, Malia, think! They closed the door behind them. My legs took me towards the door. I opened it slightly, and I saw them walking down the stairs while talking about something. I walked out of the door quietly and hid behind one of the pillars. They moved towards Leonardo's car and I descended the stairs quietly. I leaned down while walking towards the boot of the car. They didn't notice because they were focused on their discussion about Flavio. I got to the boot and dropped on my knees. "We are going to kill him and his entire family," Ivan said. What?"Yes, we are. That fucker doesn't know what is coming for him." Leonardo said, and I sensed him unlocking the car. I sensed them enter the car and I opened the boot and entered quietly. Leo started the car and dr
"Eli," He stared at me in that same way that makes my legs weak. I couldn't believe my eyes. He is actually here. He is right in front of me. "Eli..... it's really you," I stuttered, still amazed. "Malia," he called, making my heart flutter. My name has never sounded so nice in a very long time. I smiled a little as I took slow steps towards him. I held his arm, giving myself some fulfillment that he is really here. I hugged him tightly, shutting my eyes. I took in his familiar scent. It messed with my senses in a very pleasant way. I love it. I missed it. God, I missed him so much.I thought I would never see him again. Oh God. He wrapped his hands around me, adding to my fluttering heart. "I missed you, Eli. I missed you so much," I said. "I missed you too, baby." My heart raced. He placed a kiss on my hair, making joyful tears approach my eyes. "I can't believe you are here." I said, unwrapping him and looking at him. "When did you.......how did you find me?" I
"Uncle, tell him, please." I begged uncle Seth. He looked at my dad and was about to say something, but dad raised his hand at him, shutting him up. "Sit down," dad ordered, looking at me with anger. I slowly sat down, dropping my gaze as tears approached my eyes. "Listen attentively," Dad snarled, making me look at him. "East, please." Mum said. He raised his hand at her, still looking at me. "I said it before, and I will say it again. Forget that bastard." He said, making my heart clench. "You are home now. Far away from them. Be happy and forget about all of them because I am definitely going to kill them all for turning you into a slave." "They didn't know who I was." He scoffed. "I don't care. I am going to get back at them." "But dad...." "Enough!" He yelled, making me flinch. "East," mum called. "I don't want to ever hear his name in this house again. Kill that stupid feeling because nothing is ever going to happen between you two. I will
"Good night, baby," Mum said, kissing my temples. "Good night." I said with a low tone as she turned off the lights on my nightstand and walked out of my room. "I love you, sweetie." She said."I love you too, mum." I said. I heard her close my door. I reached for the light and turned it on. I sat up and heaved a sigh. My dad's words sang in my head. He is so angry with them. He doesn't care about what Eli did. Eli saved me. Why is dad still angry?I don't want him to kill Eli's family. It will hurt him. It is not their fault. They did know who I was. They actually found me and made me a maid. If it wasn't for them, Carlos would have found me. They actually saved me. Eli saved me. I miss him so much. I miss his pretty face. I miss the nicknames he usually calls me. I miss the way he makes me feel. His warm touch and his embrace. I miss everything about him. Am I really not going to see him again? My heart clenched at my thoughts. It hurts. It hurts deeply. I am happy to b
I got down from the jet along with uncle Seth and others. I took in the familiar smell and feeling of home. Tears begged to flow as we walked towards the black cars. We got in and drove away. I rested my eyes on the windows as we moved. My heart feels so delighted right now. I will soon be home. I can't believe this. Eli came to my mind. I felt bad instantly. I wonder what he is doing right now. Could be looking for me? Is he worried? I miss him. I am alive because of him. I owe him everything. "Excited?" Uncle Seth asked, making me look at him. I nodded.He smiled. "Your parents will be very excited to see you." He said, making me smile. I turned back to the window, smiling at the thought of seeing my parents. I really missed them. I missed them so much. I am going to hug my mum tightly. And my dad as well. And my brothers. I am going to hug everyone. I miss them so much. I miss my home. I missed everything. I still can't believe I am back to Italy. I am miles aw
The door to the van closed and it moved. My heart begged to explode as I struggled in the person's hold. "Let go of me!" I yelled and the person released me instantly. I looked at who it was. I froze. It was my uncle, Seth. "Malia," he called, smiling. "Uncle Seth," I called, feeling my tears approaching. Oh my God. I can't believe this. I hugged him instantly. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.He found me. .I can't believe this. He found me! I am finally with my family!."Hey, Kiddo." I heard another familiar voice but at the front seat. It was Uncle Diego. He turned to me and smiled. I let out a breathless laugh, feeling the excitement in my heart. Uncle Seth unwrapped me and cupped my face. I stared at him with my teary eyes as I placed my hand on his wrist. "God, I can't believe you are here, sunshine." He said. "I can't believe it either, uncle." I almost cried. He brought my temples closer and placed a kiss on it. I closed my eyes, feeling delighted. H
