When life gives you lemon, make lemonade, but what do you do when lemonade is served instead of lemons? I think I'm in deep shit and I don't know how to get out. I was sold to a Mafia underboss, not technically, but he claimed me, a ruthless one at that. I know it's crazy but I'll escape no matter what, I will break these shackles and fly freely like a bird, and if that meant spilling blood, then I am so ready.
View MoreArcher I know why Don has called me over to his house. I don't know why he over pampers Crystal, making her believe that she can have whatever she wants. Marriage is a huge deal for crying out loud. How can you just agree to that because she's your lovely daughter? What makes her think that I'd want to settle down with someone as evil as her?I arrived inside the mansion and headed to his office. I knocked once before entering. I wish I wasn't here. Don was sitting with his face down, engrossed with the documents lying in front of him. I turned to my side, and Crystal was standing there with her hands folded on her chest. She looked at me with an expression, but I didn't have time to read and evaluate. I rolled my eyes so hard. “Take a seat, Ed.” Don said, still not making eye contact. I pulled out a chair and sat on it while tapping my forefinger on my thigh slowly. The more he delayed, the faster I tapped. It was just a matter of time before I bolted out of here because he coul
ElenaI hugged my knees as I sat on the bed quietly. Lost in thoughts. Ever since we both found out that I was pregnant, Edward has become very clingy. He's very overprotective and mostly sleeps in my room. I only get to breathe when he has work to do. I don't want to be with him, I just can't. I can't live like this, I can't be with a man like Edward. An idea suddenly struck me, and I jumped off my bed and headed straight to the kitchen. “Sena, I need your help.” I didn't wait for her response as I dragged her to my room. I closed the door behind her and pulled her closer to me.“Sena, I need your help.”“What is it, Elena? You look very tense.” She asked with a worried look.“I—I'm pregnant.” Her eyes widened in shock. “Oh my Gosh, I mean congratulations.”“Don't say that, I feel terrible,” I said as I paced around with my hand on my temple. “So what do you want to do?”“I really do not want to have Edward's child, but that doesn’t mean that I'm going to end this poor child's li
ElenaMy heart was beating so fast as I stared at the doctor in shock. I was just hoping that he would later say that he was joking. Please, please, say you're joking. I couldn't even look at Edward. How am I pregnant? Fuck, what am I going to do?How could I get pregnant with an engaged man? A dangerous mafia man at that. My plans to escape are now ruined, what if he asks me to stay and be his mistress because of the kid?How can I be with a man I've betrayed? Oh fuck, I'm doomed. What am I going to do? I don't want to abort the child either.“Thanks, Doctor, you can leave. You know the drill, if I find out that this news is circulating, I'm coming for you and your family.” He threatened the doctor. “No need to worry, sir.” The doctor said as he packed his stuff and left. I was still shocked and glued to my bed. I couldn't think straight. I felt the bed sink beside me, so I turned and saw Edward sitting down beside me.I shifted away from him. “I won't abort my baby,” I said defe
ElenaI was in the living room with Sena as she cleaned. Sena has literally become like my best friend here, so I just talk to her anytime I'm bored, and she's very sweet. “I think the Master is really warming up to you.”“That's just what you think; Edward is just using me to kill time,” I said while sighing and lying on the sofa.“Wait, what did you say?” She turned with a shocked expression. I shot her a confused look. “I said that I think he's just using me.”“No, you mentioned a name before that.”“Edward?” Her hand shot to her mouth before looking around and rushing to my side. “What is it?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Did he tell you to call him that?” I chuckled lightly at her statement. “Why do you look so surprised? I mean, it's his name. Of course, people are going to call him that.”“No,” she sighed inwardly. “You don't get it; no one dares call him by his name; the only person who calls him that is the mafia leader and his best friend. He doesn't let anyone ca
ArcherI crouched to meet the height of the little girl who was standing in front of me. "We're here to get you out," I said, keeping my voice calm but firm. "You don’t have to be afraid." They all looked terrified, I don't know how to comfort kids, how the fuck did Elena do it so easily?I wish she was here though. Maybe she could've helped. No one moved. Ric stepped forward. "Listen, we don’t have time for this. We’re the good guys." The kids looked at each other's faces, hesitation evident in their movements. “Elena asked us to help you guys.”Their eyes lit up. “Miss Elena?” The little girl asked with so much anticipation. “Yes, she asked me to help you guys.”“Is she here with you?”“No, but she'll see you guys soon.”"Where are you taking us?" "Somewhere safe," I said. "A real orphanage. One that you'll all be cared for and safe.”She swallowed hard, then nodded. "Okay. Come on, guys,” she told the other kids, and they all stood on their feet.That was all we needed. Th
Archer 1 WEEK LATERI sat in my chair with my whisky in my hand as I stared at Savien. He stood there quietly with his hands behind him. I'm in my penthouse right now. I normally come here to take care of matters more privately. Savien had received enough treatment, and now he had recovered. I refrained from questioning him while he was unwell because I just didn't want to. “So, Savien.” I began, my tone smooth and calm as I shifted in my seat“Mind telling me what actually happened?” I asked while leaning into my chair. “Miss Elena had escorted the kids to the eatery and decided to go to the restroom; she told me to wait for her outside, so I did what she asked me to. I waited for over 3 minutes, and she wasn't coming out, so I panicked. I banged on the door and asked her if she was fine, but she didn't respond. I had no choice but to barge inside. Upon barging in, I saw a man holding her at gunpoint. I needed to save her, so I tried fighting him off, and that was when he shot
Archer My forefinger tapped on my thigh as I drove to Don's house. I haven't really gotten the time to speak to him ever since the annual ball. I didn't want to cause a scene.How could he make such a big decision without consulting me first? That is crazy. Does he think I'm some pushover?I arrived inside the mansion and headed straight to his office. I stormed into Don’s office without knocking. I stood there with my hands in my pockets as I stared at him blankly. He sat there quietly, unfazed by my intrusion and just swirled his glass of whiskey. "Edward," he said smoothly without even glancing up. "What brings you here in such a mood?" He said, acting clueless. I scoffed loudly, getting pissed about his behaviour. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the whiskey tremble in its glass. "You announced my engagement to Crystal without telling me first. Why did you do that? I already told you before that I didn't want to marry her.” Don raised an eyebrow as if I’d just complain
ElenaMy heart beat so fast as we hugged. Archer was immersed in the hug and didn't even want to let me go. He finally broke the hug, staring deeply into my eyes with so much emotion. His once icy grey eyes seemed to have melted. His thumb brushed on my cheeks, sending electric sparks throughout my body. My eyes were also fixed on his. I started studying his facial features.From his bushy eyebrows to his crooked nose to his plumb lips and his high-defined cheekbones. Archer is just a very handsome man. We didn't say anything to each other, but our eyes said a lot. I blinked slowly as I looked at him. His face came closer to mine. I wanted to move away so badly, but I felt glued to the spot. He pressed his lips lightly on mine, making my tummy twist and turn. He pulled back and stared at my lips while licking his. I suddenly felt his erection poking my stomach. We hadn't even done anything yet, and he was aroused. His breathing became heavier as he stared at me. I wish I could rea
ElenaI paced back and forth in my dimly lit room, and the curtains were opened so I could feel the chilly air that would blow in from time to time. My feet sank to the thick carpet as my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I tried to suppress the growing anger that was bubbling inside me. Archer, that insufferable, arrogant, manipulative bastard. He played with my feelings, and he toyed with me. For a moment, I thought he had actually changed, that he might have seen me as a woman with value and not an object, but I was so wrong. He's so fucking nonchalant about the whole situation and is even blaming me because I decided to save his ass. I mean, if it weren't for me, he would've been hurt, or worse, dead!I brought my hand closer to my lips as I nibbled on my nails. I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. How did I get here? I wish time would revert just so I could undo all this mess I'm in right now.I closed my eyes as memories from my old life started flooding. The diml
“See you later Gia.” I waved her goodbye as I got inside the cab. Gia was my coworker and also my best friend. We started being friends when I began working here years ago. I'm not a rich girl but I'm surviving, my father hates my guts and my sister doesn't care about me. My mum disappeared one night when I was a kid and we never heard from her again. I was on my way to meet Tommy, my ex boyfriend. I know it's weird but he has been begging me for the last 4 months to give him a chance, so I decided to go on a date with him. Tommy didn't support my idea of being celibate so he broke up with me. I remember that day vividly. That day broke me into a million pieces, and I promised myself I wouldn't let myself get hurt like that again. Even though I loathed him, I still loved him. He said that he didn't care anymore so we should meet. I arrived in front of a club. My brows knitted in confusion. “This is not a restaurant.” I muttered to myself as I looked around. Why would he ...
