13“Mrs. De Luca?” Armando’s deep voice questioned my regard,“I’d be better if you may call me Lana,” I wryly responded his fake-romance but he is Armando, a man who gladly neglects contentedness“I have every right to call you mine…” his foot took a step ahead, “when I marked this whole body with my lovebites and you… calling out my name” he continued his steps “and now, when you carrying my baby,” coming closer and I on my reverse steps, “where I see this petite of your body craves for me… misses me… wants me” his words held power, neediness and clearly pride. I hit the wall but still wished to disappear from his hungry glares, he pressed me more in the wall, “when this *he eyed down and brushed fingers on my arms* skin belongs to me… hmmm… (came near to my jawline) it’s mine,” he said with gritted teeth, I hitched right there, he swiftly pulled me by my waist and stuck myself on his strong-metallic chest, his muscular structure with my all-bones-no-meat frame while his lips capt
14As Armando emerged from the bathroom and strobe towards the bed with nothing but boxers that I should thank him for; giving me a tough time to remain in my straight mind. I took a long uptight huff and rose myself from the laid position to linear - signing him my apprehensive thoughts his way,Armando stared my body with his lustful piercing blue orbs; I gulped right there because our situation was terrible, I was not in my senses to because of my pregnancy hormones, I was too afraid to react while my mind was playing tricks on me. Due to maturation happening within me; my dubious hormones faked all my feelings for him,that Brutus in a body of a corporeal God might be planning to kill me with his irresistant sharp features, my lord! I want to touch him so badly, I want his mouth locked with mine while his huge manhood swayes in me. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? Why am I so restive for his body, I’m craving for him, am I in my senses? No, you’re not in your senses, Lana, from a very ve
15Lana’s POVI kept myself still on the chair when my mind seemed to be lost in the new addition of vibe around me, I felt a thing for a man who was twice my age and weight and it took me a while to calm down a war within me debating about my feelings and the reality. Nothing scared me more than a thought of him wandering around me all the time and deepening my weak feelings for him gradually“Kitten?” a deep voice shook me from my lullaby.My mind prayed to be called by godly bodyguard Nicolas but here my hapless luck stepped in; which gifted me an errant master to handle. “My Kitten, where are you lost?” he asked me starry-eyed“Na-nothing, I was just… uhmm… sad… that you’re go-going,” I halted to form a perfect excuse where I came up with the most stupid and impractical one in front of the hot sac… I mean my bodyguardArmando smirked, “baby if you want me to stay you just have to say it and I won’t dare to step out,” he whispered to me the dreadful plan softly on which I shook my
16As I dusted off the particles from my hands after finishing my eating course, I saw Nicolas smiling at me for some hidden reason. Was I acting weird? Or too ridiculous to handle? OR maybe I have some sauce on my side corners, What’s up with that compact pressed smile? A pool of questions raised within me“Can I ask you something?” Nicolas’s soothing voice caught my attention. I wish if I could tell him to say my name again but this can’t happen too early. My heed was enough to answer him a roger. So, he didn’t impel me to speak, just our eyes did all hard work. He just kept his eyes on me.“The way your face carries purity tells me about your naive desires which apparently you want to fulfill, but I can’t locate what are those? may I know your mystery?” he read the tension on my face which I’ve been hiding in my deeps and lightly asked me to divide with him, was my face too transparent?“You can share your pool with me,” he offered his service on which inners of my stomach hit butt
17 3 Days Later (The Weekend)9:00 AM “Malady,” a tiny voice crossed my subliminal mind in my slumber but I tended to ignore it, calling it a fluke. “Malady please wake up, today is a hectic day,” once again that sleek tone divided my peaceful sleep with her voice and this time I replied to her with a groggy hum. She first waited for me to make movements and get off from the bed but instead of showing her any valid hopes, I further curled up in my covers and continued sleeping like a careless brat. Watching me like that, her forthcoming voice toned up slightly rude, “Please Malady, wake up or I should be calling master?” she warned me and as she mentioned that wicked man to frighten me and gladly, she did frighten me till my toe. I hastily jerked up on the bed and in the very next moment, my eyes relocated on her, finding the woman grinning faintly. When I somehow gained consciousness, I recognised it was Nancy.She kept shaking her head and stated, “I should’ve said that earlier,”
18“Lana, are you okay?” Armando rushed to me while saying this, “What did that motherfucker do to you?”Hurt me, used me, I'm ungrateful, heartbroken, damaged, suicidal “I-I’m o-okay. He attacked me but Nicolas saved me” I had too many emotions up to remain balanced, and this was the quickest lucid answer I could think of“Son of a bitch!” he blessed him with a swear I thought he had sent him to me but the moment he came in with this face of worriment debated otherwise but this could also be a play of his sick games. Living with him has taught me little smarts and his manipulative strategies so I can’t trust him on this. “Who was he?” I asked him with my doe eyes,“Will be nobody till tomorrow,” he replied. quite friendly.I sighed when I got up the signal, he was thinking about killing him and again this would be because of me, I can’t face this, ever. I thought my baby would’ve knocked some sense in him but no, not a chance. How come I forgot he was the Mafia’s heart without ownin
1924 Hours LaterBeeps of monitor knocked at my door of sleep. It was so hard to answer it but eventually, I was getting power. The clouds over my mind were getting thin and I was becoming conscious of my surroundings a little bit. My eyes were ajar. I fought the heaviness in my body. I felt like crying as I gained my mind. My body felt too weak and tired to move even a finger but I jerked my face aside. I started taking heavy breaths even though I could feel a mask on my mouth. I was getting out of hands but I don’t know why my body wanted to do this. I wanted to shout and I did. I wanted to yell, I did and I wanted to run, which I would, soon. Hands grabbed my shoulders and a voice started registering in my mind, “Calm down, little one. I said calm down.” a deep manly voice calmed me, a few seconds later I learnt it was Nicolas so, without thinking anything further, I opened my eyes to calm my racing body. He was on top of my face, I looked at him while squinting. “Thank
20“London?” I asked with the deepest frown I could form on my forehead, my hands were tightly clutched to my dress which I wasn’t wearing on the hospital bed, what had happened in the last few hours? “Yes, London,” answered casually as usual“Why!? Does my permission matter nothing? Did anybody ask me for it? No, not even informed me about this, may I kindly be enlightened, why!?” Since the day I lost my baby, I have become more infuriated. I can’t hold my aggression back after knowing what they all have done to me. I’m not a toy but I’m always treated like one, now, even if they kill me on this, I won’t be scared, I’ve already toured the death’s entrance.“Because you were meant to be here for a long time,” his statement only multiplied confusion. I kept giving him a resting bitch face look and he got my point through it, “The Nicolas you knew is gone. Meet me, Nathan. Nathaniel Williams Knightley.” calling myself shocked was an underestimation, I was above than startled. What is

I knew I would be stabbed by Nathan’s cousin who’s jealous of me or who would accuse me of seducing him. Maybe, she would throw me in the river like my intuition tried to tell me but I ignored it lately. I should’ve considered my gut feeling rather than Nathan’s request. Look, where I stood; in the mouth of death. I tried to struggle in her hold but she roared at me, keeping me in the hold. I tried to shout but it wasn’t loud enough to call for help. I thought she would push me any second but the hope of survival arose when the sirens started to buzz, deafening us to death. Within seconds, there was an army steadied to kill this culprit. Their weapons were locked on their target and the voice that soothed me came across my ears. “Leave her alone!” Nathan shouted at the top of his lungs. My breath started to
102LanaI wasn’t ready for this night. My heart was racing horribly in my ribcage. Something was not right, something would go wrong and someone was going to pay for it terribly—maybe this child in my womb. Maybe tonight I would be stabbed by one of Nathan’s bitchy cousins who would accuse me of seducing him, just like Armando’s cousin did back in Spain. I prayed to God for the abortion and yet I tried to convince one of the doctors during the clinic visit but no one agreed without Nathan’s approval. My heart just said this child won’t see this world. It would die. I just didn’t want to go through with the stabbing pain once again. I wasn’t that strong to bear pains anymore. I had enough and if this time, anyone would try to harm me, I would end myself with my sinful hands. This was it, this was the solution to end my problems. Maybe, after all the while God wanted me to end myself. He gave me enough clues yet I delayed realising them. It had been three hours since I was continuou
101Next Week Somewhere In LondonNathanIt’s a beautiful feeling to be a dad again. I waited long enough to feel this moment again, yet I had never known that I had to force the pregnancy on a married woman—but it was written to happen under such circumstances and I should be less guilty about it. All because Lana left me no choice. Moreover, not only I was happy because I would be a dad again but also that it was time to finally eradicate that motherfucking Armando and his two carbon copies from the earth. Lana wouldn’t have to bear much pain once she would give birth to our baby. Those little devils would be gone and my little human will replace their space in my queen’s heart.Everything was going perfect the way I wanted and sure enough, it would end the same way I planned—except the culprit’s escaping part. Armando’s breakout wasn’t on the list yet he successfully flew away, killing four of my men in the process which he will pay really soon as I got the lead about his whereabo
100LanaIf it’s true then I was gone. I was busted to live anymore. If Armando was to hear about this I would be much more than trouble. Pregnant? With some other man’s child? I did everything to avoid it. I even bribed Mary to steal birth-control pills for me, how come I got pregnant. Argh, I wanna vanish my existence. If the pregnant part was real, I would really jump off the cliff. I couldn’t prepare myself for the bloodlust of my children or this foetus. This unborn had to die or Armando would kill him and me. I knew how far he could go. He was a maniac in my case. And as far as he was possessive about me being only his. I could predict I would pay a big price for Nathan’s deed. “Good to see you, Mr. Knightley, how may I help?” Malinda’s voice rang in my ear like a driller screwing my head. Though she had a velvet voice but right now, she was the person I needed to stay away from. Her clicks of heels grew louder as she came closer to me and Nathan who had been playing with my h
99LanaPhew. Thank God I successfully got control of the situation before I could finally be thrown to the bed and lost my chance for a dinner outside of this room. It had been fifteen minutes since leaving the house. I was sitting on the passenger seat beside Nathan who was driving his posh Lamborghini. It was the smooth black ride up in the mountains and the view I was having all the while was completely mesmerising. The street lights and the moonlight seemed like having a competition to glorify the route for me tonight. I would’ve enjoyed this moment even more if Nathan would be in his casket like he should’ve rather than driving the car like my man. I sighed at this thought. The pleasant feeling in my chest faded away with realisation of Nathan’s presence. I couldn’t just swallow the thought that I used to die for this man once, I even prayed to see him again when I had affection for him. But the very affection died when Armando started becoming a man of my dreams. He deliberat
98Lana“Speak,” Leone said with the second line connected. My heart palpitated but I overcame my growing anxiety. “Leone, It’s Lana…” I enlightened him. “… They imprisoned us separately for months. I had no connection to Armando even though I tried to encounter him once, Nathan had security at every step. I am not sure if he’s still in his torture cellar or they have done something to him or sent him to God knows where,” I ran my mouth like a bullet train, giving him no chance to speak. “Is everything good on your side?” The second I asked this question had me panicking inwardly. “We are drowning, my lady…” he said in a monotone but the effect his words brought was enough for sinking my heart, “…Our businesses are being sealed by the board for illegal conspiracies. Someone had cracked our shares in the underground sector and we are losing our men count. Our weapons are being stolen from the ports and many more harm’s been done. Everything is out of order. We lost three hundred me
97LanaNathan caught me faking my sleep. I had my eyes closed when he came near and sat beside me on the bed. He didn’t do anything for ten minutes, just quietly sat there and admired me from afar—that’s only what I could get with my eyes closed. But later, I felt his thumb striking with my cheek that ascended inside the blanket and he ended up scooping his hand inside my panties, rubbing my core and wetting me. When he slid a finger in me, I moaned and my eyes wide-opened. I gawked at him with astonished eyes. “What the heck, Nathan, leave me for God’s sake,” I huffed, disapproving his touch in between my moan and got his hand out of my pants, for a fact I hated reacting to his touch so intensely, that makes him full of himself a little more every time. He honestly knew all the perfect spots—but this time his perfection wasn’t my main focus. It was basically the fact that I had a phone and key hidden in my socks that churned my stomach for bad.“I was checking if you were still hot
96Two Months LaterLanaTwo months. A heck of a long time that I spent in a single gigantic room as a hostage. These fucking two months had me crying, screaming, begging for help, pleading for mercy and at last swearing at Nathan for being an asshole with me. I never thought Nathan could be like this. He raped me often. Yes, I would call it rape. He didn’t care what I said to him he only wanted to be inside me thrice a week.He provided me with clothes, food, Netflix and everything any other girl would desire but I was more interested in being able to breathe freely. Moreover, I missed my kids. Not even a single day passed by without me weeping for them. I never left them alone. I didn’t know if Sebastian reached home safe to Nancy or not.I was only stuck here for nothing and I see this situation going to nowhere good. I was hugging my knees, trying to think of a breakout for the thousandth time since two months. This time my escape wasn’t easy because I wasn’t sure if they kept Arm
95Lana“Then, I can even make you have dozens of kids containing your blood just now,” Nathan stated fearlessly. I blinked twice as his words sank in my stomach, each word containing tons of heavy metals that felt like ripping through each ounce of my soul.Making babies appeared to be a joke to him. How could he mock something sacred so efficiently? He wasn’t like this before. I remembered him as someone gentle and considerate yet now, he was portrayed to be cold and selfish. “I don’t want to believe in my ears, speak something real, Nathan,” I replied, foggily. “Do my face tell you I'm joking to you, Lana? If children are the only reason that’s bonding you with that generational motherfucker, then I shall eliminate the root cause and set you free,” I wanted to believe that it was Nathan speaking with such a grudge but somewhere my heart denied. His awful mindset was making him loathe myself for falling for him once. Maybe God saved me from an absolute devil through a qualified de
