Lana's POV
I wonder those people who can absolutely get everything they utter, from a castle of chocolates to showers in golds, like the world is just for them; made for them, served to them. People are their slaves; women their properties, men their defenders. They care about no one, just all themselves and their thirst for more and more. The hunger of power never ends for them, it keeps growing and ultimately leads towards the destruction of mankind.
I believe in goodness despite having only pains and traumas gifted by life. One thing that relieves me; the help of people like us; the weak class. I wish to do something big for them. I have always been a giver and never a receiver, My belief is if I ever expect something from someone; I'll always end up disappointed by them. There's my only family to be counted on; my folks. They are the best thing that ever happened to me. Despite being poverty-stricken, they never defy my wishes and bestowed me with everything a girl could ask for. I'm the eldest one in the sibling's trio which means more responsibility and then my little 2 munchkins; one a tomboy and other boy.
Doesn't matter if life hasn't been the easiest for us but one thing is definite, I'm blessed with is storge which is the greatest asset of all.
I wish I could have a powerful persona; I want to make this world a place of peace and tranquility. Erasement of the bad and promotion of only love and care, demolish the arrogance and change it with kindness but it is a sad reality of life; these thoughts can only survive in the heads like mine.
I've always been a dreamer but my poor luck, I keep those dreams and wishes in my imagination only. I wish if I could live away from my sufferings for a single week and hide in some mountain so far that nobody could catch my glimpse but fate promised me struggles. Hmm, I can't ever get enough craze of woods on peaks which resulted in a push to work in Target at my late 16; saving money for Spain.
GOD, I LOVE Spain. I'm forcing myself to keep working because as much as I want to go there; no words can describe my urge. The Spaniards are friendly, kind, and enthusiastic; mainly like me. Especially if compared to the majority of Americans. Everything is good but the best thing about them is Food, Spanish meals would contain one or two courses and a dessert. I can't wait to go there and try their original tortillas with some hot n spicy salsa, after that some sweet Crema Catalana.
Sometimes, I wonder how handsome Spnairds would be in real, even I have a crush on a Spanish actor. I often come across a thought of ending up marrying a Spanish, Greek-God,
"Girl, you really need to get a life, you're drooling over some mythological sass," a spoiling reminder from Kardashian fitted in my head
Okay, maybe I'll end up being alone forever.
As always, I'm running late to my class because once again, I couldn't wake up from my heavy slumber and now, my weak legs couldn't take running well. Because of my poor heart condition, I avoid to run but today I had to otherwise my sullen teacher won't let me attend today's lecture. Natalie, my closest friend would be waiting for me until the very last minute of the period. She is my only best friend since grade sixth otherwise I've always been an outcast in my school and I hate it.
My house is 20 minutes away from my high school which takes tremendous courage to get there. After school, I go to my workplace and work as a cashier for the rest of the day at Tesco. There Mrs. Carla is my crime partner, we both work together and somehow manage to kill a day. She's kind, funny, caring and most importantly a shoulder to cry on. Yes, I don't talk to my parents much about my problem because they are already too much apprehensive about our financial crisis and I don't like them to add extra tension in their lives. I sometimes wish to work my a** off to waive off their debts but they don't let me contribute much because for them, my education comes first than anything.
Well exactly, This is my life; chaotic and stressful.
Working all day and every day without any fun or peace.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," Kardashian mouthed off again to step on my wounded nerve.
Armando's POV
I was smoking in my office after clearing the paperwork that my phone buzzed, gaining my mere attention. As I checked it my eyes curtly got narrowed; It was one of my man, my right-hand Leone
"Hey boss, we recovered all the goods and just caught this motherfucker splitting out some sensitive gen, I better say he booked a dope reservation with us." He reported me about clearing the drugs issue. One of our own motherfucker slipped away with an intolerant amount of our goods.
"Fucking sure he did. where are you?" I casually inqured an answer
"We are close to the mansion. reaching in 5 minutes, brace yourself for one more round," he comes out with pride. He mentioned the word 'more' which is clearly stated my wrongdoings. Yes, I'm talking about my killing addiction. Today, I've happily killed almost 13 of my convicts and the upcoming motherfucker is going to be the 14th one. The extra I kill people, the more my body gets loaded with peace. So, why would I miss any chance to gain some additional stamina?
"Always am," said and cut the call in fury, that manwhore will be in pieces in just 10 minutes, the only thing that will calm my wrath is his death and it's gonna be fucking funny to see him repel, I'll make him beg me for death but he won't get that easily.
Making my way to the torture room, my every stride was howling power and authority, guards bowing their head in respect and I entered the room and sat on the chair with a right leg over left. waiting for that lowlife to hand over his face to my sight.
I heard cries and screams confirming his resistance, gradually getting louder as they are heaving that pig here, Leone entered with 2 more bodyguards gripping that piece of shit firmly, he is struggling to get out of their hold but who will save him from my punishment? Ah han, not that easy. They chained him across the wall and handcuffed his hands, wrapping wires all overhead. Bloody bastard, just wait for it.
"I wonder who ordered this trash bag in the first place?" I questioned aggressively with a smirk, he kept quiet, his head was down,
"ANSWER ME" I roared,
"I... I'm sorry boss.. I.. I know I did wrong" he stuttered, I stood up and gripped his jaw strongly with outcome of a cracking sound from his cheekbones,
"No one dared to betray me, not even an ant, WHERE. DID. YOU. BUY. BALLS!?" emphasizing my last 5 words with equal punches on his loathly mug, ah, pleasure.
"Ahh.. ah ah... ahhh sto.. forgive me mas..ter, ahhhhhhhh, Ma-ster... I'm sorry, I... I was not thinking.. straight," he wept in pain and breath hardly. trying to make a point, but it's fucking pointless now.
"You think you can be forgiven huh," I raised a brow, "well, that's where you're lacking with your senseless brain again, FUCKER!" I kicked him in his crotch with my last word, he yanked.
I cued my hand, Leone turned the AEDs on, giving him 140v, he be better enjoying? He shrieked as loud as he could. His body was convulsed continuously. Did he shout for pardon? begged for mercy? but mercy It turns me on. Never beg me for mercy, you'll face more. I kept glaring at him with a clenched jaw. When his face turned blue, I cleared my throat and it was enough to signal for my men to stop and they did.
"You like it?" I mouthed with a smirk, my eyes were shining bright
"Please! spare my life. I won't ever dare to do against your rules again. I will... I will disappear like I never existed," he mumbled while panting with closed eyes
"You worked for me. have I never made it clear to you I don't spare traitors?" I growled, he is underestimating my strength.
"THEN PLEASE KILL ME. IM DONE WITH IT," he yelled so soon? Not gonna happen.
I took out my pocket knife from my side pocket, opened it in a blink. I moved towards this hanging clown, placed it on his face making a slight cut,
"So, you wanna die so soon?" I chuckled, deepening the cut with a minor force.
"Oh no, no no no no ahhhhhhhhh, fuck no" he panicked and I pressured more
"Giving up so soon?" his blood was flowing down, I cleaned it with my thumb and lick it, fucking delightful.
"Oh, Jesus... I'm pleading, take my life!" He cried. I laughed.
I kept torturing him in different ways for 1 hour and when he almost decided to depart away, I growled,
"THIS IS A LESSON FOR EVERY FUCKING MAN STANDING IN THIS BUILDING. BETRAY ME YOU WILL BE NEXT" My next move was impulsive. I hastened towards the table and picked up the acute cleaver, turned around, and with one strike, he was beheaded.
Fresh blood oozes continuously from newly headless bod, which is the evidence of my ruthlessness.
After all, who's the master in the end?
Armando.
2Lana’s POVWinter has been welcomed and all of the aurae is jammed with snowflakes. As I walked back to my home from work, I inhaled deeply. I was tired yet motivated but don’t know for how long. Right now, passing by beautiful houses dressed with lights and decors made me purse my lips where my inner self accosted me about my poverty but I blurred out before it gave me a fit.Today, I was late home because of workload. It’s been so long I haven’t slept peacefully. I just wish to sleep a whole day without worrying about our financial crisis. It’s depressing to wake up with the thought of no longer supplies left. I’m no longer born yesterday kiddo, Our hurdles made me older than my age. I have a school in the morning and work in the evening. My routine left me no fun. I’m working hard to meet our expenses with my parents. I can’t buy whatever I like, I lame excuse to myself; I lie, I avoid buying unnecessary stuff and save it for my future because only if I’m working passionately it’
3A Few Weeks PassedLana‘s POVI wonder if there could be any possible way to stop the time and cherish the moment forever but again, this is the world of real facts, not my fantasyland. I exhaled a deep breath and kept ambling on the poolside with the ocean of memories in my brain. As I looked up in the gloomy sky with full of starry stars, and yet I tried to count each of them specifically but at the same time, wondered that dynamics of light can’t be numbered. I lifted my head all little more up in the blamy breeze and closed my eyes along with the flow of wind. It’s so calm yet so peaceful in here. I wanted to sway slowly to the beat of air but here my mind was busy in recalling my treasured memories.I just couldn't get over this nirvana. I opened my eyes with the thought of beach in Ibiza where he spent our 5 glorious days and then the great Barcelona was in line, we stayed there for 2 weeks.I could proudly say that time has been written in my dear diary forever. I celebrated
4Eyes all closed, shoved to the death room, all I can think about is my life before Spain, my parents whom I spent every breath with but they don’t know I’m living my last ones. My two little babies who I wanted to secure and their future but I failed securing my own.Some of my friends who I thought were not worth it but right now, I’m missing them too, I wanna be with them. For one last time.Never in my life, I thought I’d miss that time too but look today, I’m recalling my memories and admitting them the best time I ever had because there won’t be me anymore. Life will not stop for me, if my story ever gets on screen, people will awe for me for a while, and then it will be where every tragedy belongs; in the trash.I’ll be nothing but a temporary instance, what a bit of luck. I wanted to be an on-screen with a major accomplishment, but here I guess I’m gonna play a victim role. The universe never wanted me to win.My blood and his hands covered in it will be my last viewpoint.Go

(Boss, prostitutes tried to escape but we shot one dead and others are still breathing)” Leane explained,“Tráeme estos, cortaré sus partes privadas yo mismo, luego lentamente sus vidas. Querían escapar por la libertad, no les perdonaré un minuto libre(Bring these ones to me, I will cut off their private parts myself, then slowly their lives. They wanted to escape for freedom, I will not spare them a free minute)” it was enough talk for me; I ended the call,They should’ve known that no one leaves once captured, escaping is not a way out, instead, it means throwing yourself in the hellfire.Hookers like them only want money and just sex. Then why run? Work for me, I’ll shower you in dollars.Disobey, then better bear effects of the invasion.Minding back to my killing expertise,I was getting rea
6Lana’s POVWhat am I gonna do here? I don’t know how long they will keep me here, why are they treating me well? The master,he was gentle when I thought he would be my terminator but I guess he wants to use me before slaughtering, does he lure every girl this way? He must be, I need to run away from here, it won’t be easy; I need to be careful otherwise next time I’d be shot dead just like that girl. Oh God! I’m sorry… how am I gonna live with that guilt? I can’t forget her fresh blood streaming down her head, the bullet… that hit her head without giving her any chance to live, Why are they so cruel? They almost killed me and took her life instantly, God how am I gonna live with this guilt? Please, God… take my life away too, or I’ll come to you, I just can’t live like this. I pray you to forgive me, I wanna come to you, maybe killing myself will be easier than getting slew after mental and physical torture, I never thought of being in this state in Spain but that’s what you
7Armando”s POV“Master she disappeared” my men came in running,I couldn't stand it first but after then I processed it in my mind, I jolted up and lifted him in the air with my hand gripping his neck. “TRY. SAYING. IT. AGAIN,” I barked out with a gnash,“Ma…mas-ter, we’re find-ing h-her” he uttered in suffocation.“How do you let her ESCAPE!?” I punched him. Hard. He fell back on the floor.I was roving in circles, “I want her in front of me in 5 minutes or you all die,” I snapped my fingers and growled on my last words, he wasted no time and ran for his life.I poured myself a whiskey and gulped it in one go, my hands gripped that breakable glass so hard that it cracked and eventually crushed into pieces.WHAT IS SHE THINKING!? OH BABY, THIS WAS NEVER AN OPTION FOR YOU, YOU’LL BE HERE. YOU HAVE TO BE. THERE’S NO WAY OUT FOR YOU MY LITTLE KITTENAHHH, FUCK! I slammed my fists on the worktop again and again like a mad lover who was head over heels crazy for his love and threw every

Please read it at your own risk!“It’s my turn to play wild,” he said with a cunning sniggerWas he trying to say that he’ll play wild on Xbox with me? I frowned at him with a question written on my face, “I-I don’t get it,” I mumbled softly,He was mute but his body was in functioning. He adjusted me in between his legs and finching me down in the mattress, after examining my position, he stood up from the bed. My conscious mind was studying his intentions and it was suggesting nothing positive,I felt my heart coming out when I saw him with two long ropes, He had them wrapped around in his hands, on which my inner-alarm triggered, “Wh-what a-re these r-ropes for..for? I stuttered badly and tried to move back, He moved forward with a smirk on his face, like he was enjoying my weak form, “You’ll know it soon, naughty one,” he said in his darkest shade of tone, "these ropes are used for
9Lana’s POVChirping of birds was what made me conscious of the world, I was so lifeless that opening my eyes was the hardest I could feel and my body, it was like somebody lacerated my heart and left it for bleeding until it emptied thoroughly. My head was aching so bad, even if I wanted to take a glimpse of my surroundings, my feeble body was too weak to register anyone around me. A little while later, I felt people beside me, I sensed minute activities happening beside me. I also aware of pinning to a fleecy mattress as an expired corpse.A pinky finger moved and, sudden hustle-bustle started around me, I could hear voices,What is this? My mind muffled, For an aeon, I was unable to move and stuck. Shocks of soreness transmitted from my nail of thumb to my skull. My forehead formed a line as I arched my eyebrow in agony. Oh Lord, this will kill meEven if I mistakenly move in my gesture; a line of current ripped me apart in half; leaving me to surrender even before I could start.
103Warning: This Chapter Can Be Challenging For Readers To Read. Kindly Pause Reading If You Feel Anxious Or Depressed. You’re Already Warned. LanaIt was a female. It was her. 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
