Marco p.o.vThey were laughing, especially Boris. He was laughing hard, he sobered up after a while of struggling to pull himself together.“It's either you're a joker or a lunatic, I don't know which one to call you.” He chuckled. “I am called the combat master for reason, boy, I don't fight with little boys. Go and call your daddy, kid.” He said, thinking he was making fun of me.He and his men laugh again, smug, and the situation without proper analysis if I had any means of surviving. Again underestimating their opponent.“My father is too busy for you, so he sent me.”He finally notices my lack of expression, I stood there letting fool himself, And realized I wasn't playing.“What made you think you can place a bet on my life and still win?” Boris grit, getting angry as I wanted him to.“Haven't you heard of how I end those that came to challenge me? I leave unrecognized and dismembered.” He tries to scare me off.What he isn't aware of is that I don't get intimidated, rather I
Zoey p.o.vI regained consciousness, my gaze swept the place. It didn't take me a second to realize that I'm in a hospital, the quiet movement from my beside snapped my attention there.Relieved when I noticed that it was just a nurse doing her work.There was no need to ask why I was here, I passed out when the fight started outside the warehouse. Right then, it became obvious to me that there was a much bigger fight going on inside.I knew the fight going on inside was more bloody and brutal.The fight wasn't just because of the kidnapping stuff anymore, it was a fight of dominance and only the strongest will come out alive.“Hi.” I called for the nurse's attention.“Hi miss, you're awake.” She smiled at me tenderly, her friendly aura makes me return her smile with a nod.“How are you feeling? Weak? Dizzy?” She asked.“A bit weak but not dizzy.” I told her, I can barely hold myself.“That's good to hear, the doctor said you will feel weak, but you can also be discharged as everythi
Zoey's p.o.v Two years later. Today is the day I get married to the love of my life, the man of my dreams, my childhood sweetheart. The same man who held my heart even after breaking it, he still held it for years. Maya, Sophie, and Lucy were my bridesmaids, they have been part of my life since everything settled down two years ago. I gave them promotions because I can't have my best friends at the bottom of the food chain. “I'm so happy for you.” Maya hugged me giggling, the excitement written all over her like it's her wedding. “Welcome to the married life.” Sophie teased. She got married last year, to her boyfriend. “Best wishes my love.” Lucy threw flying kisses at me. Just outside the church, we stood waiting to go in. They held each other's hands with me in the center, while the prayed for me and the success of my marriage. This what I called friends, praying for your good will. As I walked down the aisle with my Dad, I felt like my life is complete. Everyone present in
Zoey p.o.vI didn't wake up from the birds chirping in the distance, not from the ray of sun peeking at me for the window blinds. I also didn't wake up from the sound of the sea clashing against the shore and receding, I did wake up in pleasure.“Mm mm” I muffled.I was getting pleasured from sleep, it was intense. I squirm around trying to contain the unmeasurable pleasure, Marco is in between my thighs doing what he does best to me.“God.” I jolt, beating my lower lip in an attempt to hold it in. An electric spark flashes through me, my Virginal clutching tightly, as of the rest of my organs.I was close, but Marco was yet to finish his work. He shoves not just his tongue inside me, he also plugged two fingers into me. His movements were fast and rough, showing no mercy on me.My breaths were labored, my chest rise and fall faster than I can process. He gave me one final screw by flicking on my clit with his free finger, the tingling sensation spread to my brain. My eyes rolled back
Zoey's p.o.vIt was around eleven when we finally walked out of our room, we are in a resort. A prestigious one at that, an opulent and extravagant resort that was renowned for its luxurious amenities and impeccable service.Nestled in the heart of Paris.The resort, known simply as “Le Palais de Paris,” was a haven for the elite and affluent who sought nothing but the best in terms of comfort and indulgence.I haven't seen the rest of the resort, but from the room we're at tell me a lot. The room was nothing short of spectacular. Elegantly decorated with fine silk draperies, hand-painted murals, and antique furniture. The bed was adorned with the softest linens and plush pillows, ensuring a restful night's sleep for even the most discerning guest.“You look lavishly, that I don't want us to leave the room.” Marco whispered close to my ear, he rubs his nose on my neck, and then I felt his teeth on my flesh.I jolted forward, but Marco was quick to trap me in his arms. His hand was on
Zoey's p.o.vAs we walk down to the grand lobby of the resort, I was greeted by a dazzling display of crystal chandeliers, plush velvet furnishings, and intricate marble flooring. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers and the soft murmur of classical music playing in the background.Classic but home friendly, I commend. Totally my style, we keep it classy and elegant but homey.“Ma'am, which one are you going with?” Annette asked. She is more compose than the other girl, Marco must have demand for someone else.She has filled me in on the activities they had in stock, they have Spa.Furthermore, she went in further to boast about their spa service, saying it's a world-class spa that offered a range of indulgent treatments and therapies. Guests could relax and unwind in the steam room, sauna, or Jacuzzi, or indulge in a rejuvenating massage or facial. The spa also featured a state-of-the-art fitness center, where guests could work out with a personal trainer or participate
Zoey's p.o.vAnnette was already standing outside the painting studio waiting for me before I arrived, with a smile on her face. “Ma'am, ready for some relaxation?” she asked, standing up straight.“Of course.” I nodded eagerly, after hours of painting my back aches. My muscles and joints are stiffed, more than earlier. And all I needed right now is a nice, relaxing massage.“Please, this way, ma'am.” She said.I followed her as she led me outside the workshop, and out of the building to a wooden house not so far from the sea behind the resort. The wooden house was adorned with intricate carvings and colorful tapestries, giving it a rustic yet inviting charm. The sound of gentle waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop to the serene atmosphere that enveloped the house.Inside, the interior was adorned with plush cushions and soft lighting, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The scent of lavender and eucalyptus lingered in the air, adding to the calming effect
Zoey p.o.vThe air was filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle hum of bees.Right before my eyes lay a well gardened meadow.The meadow stretch out wide with its emerald carpet of grasses and a riot of blooming wildflowers. The short grasses swinging joyfully to the wind, begin the meadow, stood proudly against the sun is a cabin.This is like my dreams coming to life, first it was coming to Paris, then riding on a white horse and this meadow and cabin“You remembered.” I tilted my head to look back at Marco.“I never forget, not any details of you.” He replied, his voice hoarse with raw emotions.#Flashback.#[Fifteen years old Zoey and eighteen years old Marco]Marco and I sat on the big tree on the bank of a small river, isn't very popular to others. Marco found this place, and brought me here. I fell in love with how quiet and peaceful it is here, far away from the noise and bustling of the city.We immediately turned it into our sanctuary, we come here whenever
Melanie’s POVI went through my usual night routine but this time, opted for normal pajamas with a buttoned shirt and long pants. I just settled in bed and was about plugging in my phone to charge when it began vibrating with an incoming call.It was Aria.There was only one reason why, Aria would call me this late at night and it had Alice written all over it.I accepted the call and put the phone to my ear.“Hello,” I said.“Girl!!!!!” she screeched so loudly that I had to move the phone from my ear for a while."Are you done yelling?" I asked.“Not quite but I think I can save the rest for another day,” Aria answered.“I’ll take that,” I said. “So to what do I owe this pleasure? I already have an idea but please humor me?”“I don’t know whether to be mad at you for keeping this a secret from me or be happy for you,” she replied. “Adriano met someone important to you!
Adriano’s POVApart from the time I spent with my family, I couldn’t remember the last time I had a good time.Melanie might not realize if but she’s been shining her light on my dark soul slowly and I was getting addicted to it.The background check I had done on Melanie’s neighbor, Phoebe was clean so I wasn’t worried about her.I had been prepared to put on a show but it turns out I didn’t even need to. Phoebe was such a pleasant person and her love for, Melanie was quite obvious which was another reason why I easily relaxed around her.My girl sure knew how to pick good friends. Even the cat, whom Melanie glared at most of the time, wasn't so bad. I'm guessing her glare was because the little orange animal clung to me most of the night. I didn't even like cats but somehow, I picked up the animal without scrunching up my nose in disgust.So imagine how bummed I was when I got a call from, Nik informing
Melanie’s POVIt was a struggle before we were able to leave, Phoebe’s place. There was a lot of hugging and she made me promise to visit her often.Orange, on the other hand, clung tightly to, Adriano until Phoebe had to physically pry the cat away from him. I was still hurt at how quickly he discarded me for, Adriano but that didn't stop me from filling his cat bowl with food, like I always did.The ride back to the house was quiet but it wasn't laced with any awkwardness. It had been a good night and I didn't want us to end it on an awkward note.I kind of zoned out during the ride up until her approached the house gate. With a slight nod to the guards at the gate, he drove inside the house. At some point, I had gotten used to seeing the guards and though they still looked imposing and scary, I no longer felt fear when I looked at them.He pulled up in front of the house, killed the engine and that was when the
Melanie’s POVPhoebe went all out with dinner. She made a spread that was enough to feed a small army.“There’s no way we’ll be able to finish what you made,” I told her when I saw how much food she had made.There was roast beef, potatoes, and steamed broccoli with what I knew to be her homemade gravy. Just like Alice, Phoebe was a great cook, so I knew everything she made was certainly delicious.Adriano pulled out a seat for her at the seat of dining table and did the same for me and she gave me a knowing smile when his back was turned to us.I knew what the smile was for. He was rich and also a gentleman. Could he be any more perfect?“Everything looks so good, Phoebe,” Adriano said once he’d taken a seat across from me.“Thank you, Adriano,” she replied. “At least someone appreciates the dinner I made.”I sighed, now he was making me look bad. “You know how much I enjoy your cooking, I’
Melanie’s POVI should have known the last time, Adriano had the other nurses literally eating out of the palm of his hands how big of a charmer he was.Phoebe was completely enthralled by him, and there I was nervous about how she was going to receive him, especially with how blunt he was with her by the door.But it had the opposite effect on her. Phoebe appreciated his brutal honesty and seemed to think that he was good for me.I guess I should be happy with that, it means he’s holding up to his end of the bargain but I felt some way at the fact that Phoebe took an instant liking to him when I prepared to defend him tonight.Was it jealousy? Heck no. There’s no way I was jealous of Adriano. I mean it took a few weeks after I moved in for, Phoebe to warm up to me while she took to him instantly. Did that make me jealous? Absolutely not!Adriano also somehow knew the right thing to say to make, Phoebe blush.
Melanie’s POV“Are you ready for this?” I asked.“That’s an unnecessary question, little nurse,” Adriano said. “Are we doing this or not.”“I just need a few minutes to get in character,” she said.Adriano chuckled but remained silent while I tried to steady my breathing. It was Saturday evening and we were currently parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Phoebe had called me earlier in the day to ask if, Adriano had any allergies or something he didn’t eat.I didn’t have the answer to that question but I figured he ate anything, considering the kind of guy he was so I told her no.Now I wondered if I did the right thing. Maybe I should have asked him, but I avoided him all day until it was time to leave.“Do you have any allergies?” I asked.“Huh?”“Phoebe called earlier wanting to know if you had any allergies and I told her you didn’t,” I explained.Adria
Melanie’s POVAlice's words stayed with me all day. I’ve spent so much time believing that, Adriano had taken away my choice I had never stopped to wonder if I gave up too easily.Did I really have the option to make a different choice or could I give in to my new reality and be content with it?The thought of going back to the house didn't really fill me with dread like before when I was still new to his house.But apart from restricting my movement, he had treated me nicely. I ate well, slept in comfort, and got freaking chauffeured to work, even though I hadn't gotten used to the last part.Every time I demanded anything from, Adriano, it felt like I was making a deal with the devil, in exchange for my soul.It didn't help that he kept making me flustered when I was around him, causing me to act out of character.Nevertheless, I called, Phoebe and informed her of the plan to visit du
Melanie’s POVIf I was a betting girl, I could have won some money from, Alice. She was so positive this conversation was going to go well but couldn’t have been more wrong.This conversation had gone so off-kilter that I was wondering why I was still seated here talking to him.“Are you threatening me?” I asked."I'm not threatening you, little nurse," he replied.“Then what’s the meaning of what you just said?”“I just thought you needed a reminder of how you got here,” he said.“Oh, I remember. How could I ever forget,” I said. “Every second of every day for the past few weeks I’ve been reminded of how much my life had taken a drastic turn all in a matter of a few moments!”I was breathing heavily and trying to control my anger. “I regret that moment.”“What moment?”“The moment I agreed to go, Dr. Thompson’s request to go on a house call. It wasn’t part of my job descrip
Adriano’s POV I watched her expression go from relieved to tense the moment I spoke and I almost felt bad for wanting to demand a condition from her. Emphasis on almost. I didn’t feel bad but I hated that, Melanie wasn’t completely relaxed around me yet. I mean she was pacing my office for minutes and I had to practically force the words out of her mouth with the way she was fidgeting and beating around the bush. I hated the fact that she hadn’t realized that there was about nothing I wouldn't do for her, if she played her cards right. So if she wasn’t ready to figure it out, then it was up to me to show her and that wouldn’t be possible if we don’t spend time together. Melanie thought she was being a disturbance by asking me to go see her neighbor as her boyfriend while I was in my seat, trying to hide my smile and sounding as neutral as I possibly could. “A condition?” I nodde
