CORA In a garden. So green. So fresh. Beautiful sun flowers adding to it's beauty. The clouds are bright with the colour, blue and white. Very sunny day. Sunny beautiful day. I am standing there. Right in the middle of the garden in a white dress and a crown made of white flowers on my head. I am admiring the sun flowers. So beautiful. So yellow. They are my favourite. The garden is my favourite place. I feel good. I am at peace. I am happy. The wind blew softly, making red roses blossom out of nowhere, replacing the entire sun flowers all over the garden. The garden is beyond beautiful. It is remarkable. Very gorgeous. I smile to the beauty. Nature is awesome. Nature is a very beautiful lady. The wind moved again, very close to where I stood. I twirl around smiling and chuckling happily. I stopped. As the wind moved forward. I followed it with my eyes, they landed on him. East. The love of my life. He is on white as well. His shirt unbutton,
She picked a red beautiful gown for Lucia. It suit her so well. I learnt red is Seth's favourite colour. East is black. I am beginning to like it too. He is going to love my dress. No doubt. Iris picked a short blue dress for herself, very beautiful as well. We picked shoes and makeup stuff before we are done. We head back to the car with our bags and drive back home. Not long we got home. Some workers are busy decorating the living room while others are busy in the kitchen. I want to help. I dropped my bags in my room as I head to the kitchen. I helped in making most dishes which was very exciting. I thought about East all through. He is at the office with the guys. I must have looked for me after waking up. I chuckle to myself. Time passed very fast and the party time came. Iris and I are ready, looking very beautiful in our dresses. We are heading towards the living room smiling happily. Getting towards the living room, the guest are not much but they are looking
CORA My heart beat is so loud. I am shaking in fear. My legs are weak. My whole body is stiff in terror. God no. Please no. I can't believe who is standing in front of me right now. "Surprised to see me?" He asked smirking at me. He is really here. Hunter is here. Standing right Infront of me. How.... "Cat got your tongue?" I held the sides of my dress as my heart pounded. His blues eyes are looking at me. Those blue eyes I thought I will never see again. They are right here looking at me. "Anyways it's okay to be speechless. I understand." He said looking at me. I gulped. "Damn..." He let out a breath looking at me from head to toe. "I missed you. Look at you. Looking so fucking beautiful. I could fuck you right now you know" My heart skipped a beat. He smirked. Terror washed me. "Walk with me" he ordered. I don't make a move, looking at him with my brimming eyes. "Come on" "Hu... Hunter I..." "Do as I say right now. Or I have my boys shoo
HUNTER I hopped into the truck as my men did the same. I am sitting at front but not at the driver's seat. I bring out a cigarette, lighting it up and pop out smoke. "Hunter, Sergio called" one of the said as he starts the engine. "Let's move" I said, sucking on my cigarette. We hit the road. So let me do a proper introduction. You all have been imagining the life of others in this story and not one of mine. Well I decided to show up in this chapter. It is time to add me up to your imagination. You might like me. Or not. But guess what, I don't give a fuck. The name is Hunter. Hunter Jeremy. I am care free guy. I hate playing it safe. I love doing a lot of fun things. Things like women. Yeah women. Speaking about women, I once had a girlfriend. More like a pet. A useful one. The little bitch was supposed to be among the girls my cousin, Sergio ordered for to be sent to his fellow Russian men. But she escaped. Luckily for me, she ran into me whil
THIRD POV "So?" Sergio, Hunter's Russian cousin asked as Hunter walked in with his men. "Everything is successful " Hunter said taking a seat on the cushion next to the one Sergio is sitting on. Sergio scoffed. "I still don't believe in this stupid plan of yours" Hunters tuts. "Why do you think a fucking girl could bring East to us? Doesn't it sound absurd?" Sergio asked. "I told you cousin, My informat told me how romantic they are." Hunter said as one of the maids serve him a glass of red wine. He takes it and sip a little. Sergio is looking at him. "East has a fucking soft spot for my little bitch. No doubt he will do whatever she asks" Hunter said clenching on his glass as his blood boil because of East and Cora. Fucking morons. He is getting his girl back. East is as good as dead. I will make sure of that. "And you are sure that girlfriend of yours will do as you ordered her?" Sergio asked. Hunter sipped his drink, smirking. "She is still submissive Sergio.
They both pull off each other's lips, catching their breaths. Their temple still connected to each other. Their hearts are at peace with each other. They feel like this is where they are meant to be. East leaned up, kissing her temple. Cora close her eyes as her heart fluttered but her head hurts. It reminds her of Hunter and his orders. "Uh hello love birds" Iris claimed their attention. She is holding Sky, he is decorated with white roses. Yeah he is part of the wedding. "Sorry to interrupt you two future married couple, but we have a wedding to go to" Iris said. East chuckled. "We will be right down" Iris nods, winking at Cora before walking away. Cora smiled a little. East looked back at her. "There's a smile. Fucking beautiful" He said smirking at her. Cora blushed hard. He chuckled. "I love the dress. It is stunning" Cora smiled "thank you" "It is not black though, but still nice" "Seth and Lucia chose purple" Cora shrugged, smiling. East r
CORA I can hear the beating of my heart. My hands are shaking. I feel like screaming. The message is making me unstable. Rome pillars? Tomorrow? God what should I do? I should tell him. I can't do what Hunter wants. What if he kills him? God I don't want that. Please God. Help me. Walking slowly into my restaurant, i should be excited. My dream is right in front of me. I should be over joyed. But I just got a message. And it says tomorrow. I don't know what to do. East extends his hand to me, I place my hand on his, forcing a smile. He led us towards the big fancy counter. "Good evening sir" A waiter said smiling at him. "Evening. I talked about bringing your boss tonight. Here she is " East said motioning the waiter to me. "This is Cora, the boss and Cora, this is the head waiter, Eden" "It's nice to meet you ma'am" Eden said, giving a slight bow. I smiled a little. "I am looking forward to working with you" "Sa...same here" He smiled givi
Walking along the way, I fiddle with my fingers nervously. I got to his office. He is on his seat, smoking his cigarette. He smiled the minute he saw me. "Hey baby" I forced a smile. He motioned me to come to him. I walked towards him, he brought me to his lap. "How are you?" He asked smiling. "Fi...fine" "Hmm. Seems like you need something" I nod. "Let's hear it" "Um....I uh....Lu...Lucia suggested I use a spice for my berry sauce" He hummed, arching his brows "okay...?" "She...she said she used it once and people loved her berry sauce. So she...she said I can only find it at...at Rome pillars " He raise his brow. "Rome pillars?" I nod. "Are you sure that's where it is?" I nod again. He hummed making a face like he is giving it a thought. "Pl... please take me there" He looked at me. My heart was beating all through as I spoke. His eyes on me is making me so unease. He is really looking at me. Is he about to ask me why I want him to take
"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
