Diavolo chugged down another glass as he watched the whore in front of him reach to her back and unclasped her bra. She rolled it down her shoulders and threw it to the floor. Her boobs dangled from the result. Usually, he would be impressed but then again, he wasn't. He had met all sorts of women. He had slept with all kinds as well. It doesn't matter how sexy she looked. What matters is if she would be able to take him, all of him for the rest of the night.So far, no woman had been able to do so. Some ended up crying, running away or passing out as a result. Not like he cared anyway. All he wanted was someone who would take away the nightmares that the drugs couldn't cure. Something to numb the pain and make him forget but none of the whores were ever able to. They act like they can but it was all just a pretext.Pouring himself another glass, he chugged it down and placed the glass on the stool in front of him. His eyes pinned on her."For tonight, treat me like one of your whores
"What's wrong Baby, talk to me." Sierra urged the little girl lying down almost lifeless on the hospital bed. Her eyes were almost half closed and with every breath she took, it felt like she was fighting for her life."Sierra, I can't breathe" Nora's voice came out in a low wheezing tone. She was struggling through the oxygen tube that was being administered to her. Sierra was on her way to work when she got a phone call from the hospital telling her that there was an emergency and her sister's condition had taken a turn for the worse. Things had gone critical, more to the point of deteriorating.Three years ago, their lives went upside down when her father who was the supposed senator of the state, embezzled a huge sum of money and was laid off from his office. If anyone had told her that her once princess life would come crashing down one day, she'd never have believed it but look at her now. What's even worse is that her entire family's name had been blacklisted in the country.Wi
"What's the issue doctor?" Dean proceeded to ask while Reya accompanied her to check in with Nora and see how she was faring. Sierra overheard the doctor asking Dean about his relationship with my sister and he went further to tell him that he's a family friend. Dean had been a constant reminder in her life that not all men were garbage. He was her fire for the rainy nights, her sanity and her safe haven these past few years. She wouldn't know what to would do without him. They had been friends for the longest of time even before Reya came into the picture.She had gotten so attached to him over the years to the point of falling for him but when she confessed her feelings to him, he rejected her because apparently, he was in love with Reya. He told her that he didn't feel the same way she did and that he had only acknowledged her as a sister and nothing else.His response left her shattered and broken for weeks. And to make it worse, she had to deal with the pain of watching her best
Diavolo arrived at the hotel and made his way inside with his bodyguards and Luca trailing behind him. He doesn't do parties. He doesn't like them either but then again, it involved the issue of his foster father's fortune so he couldn't turn a blind eye even if he wanted to. Maximo had always had an eye for the deed of his father's fortune and so far, he had been trying to subdue his efforts so that he doesn't acquire them no matter how hard he tried. "Diavolo." Maximo called out to him the minute he spotted him at the entrance of the casino. The look on his face told him that he wasn't expecting him to be there but then again, he couldn't send him away even if he wanted to. "Non mi avevi detto che saresti venuto alla festa." He forced a smile but Diavolo could see way past those fake smiles and pretence. It was his half brother after all so he wasn't expecting anything less from the so called traitor. "You also didn't tell me that you were plotting to split your father's fortune b
"Alright Dean. We'll be joining you shortly." Reya spoke into the phone before stuffing it into her purse. Then she faced Sierra who had just finished her meal not too long ago in hopes that they would leave soon. "Dean can't make it here so he asked us to join him at the casino.""Where he works?" Sierra corked her eyes at Reya who shrugged in response. "Can I just go home already? I don't think I can make it that far. I need to rest and try to get myself started for the next day.""Oh please." Reya brushed her off. "You just want to go home and sulk all through the night but that's not gonna work on me. Nora has been subdued by the doctors and you staying home isn't really going to change anything so I forbid it. Plus, the hotel's not far away from here, so let's go." Reya pushed herself up from her seat and Sierra followed suit.Her disagreeing not to go wasn't because she had anything important to do at home but she'll be approximately ten inches closer to him all night and to mak
"Please take...take me...to my best friend Reya." She burped loudly and laughed to herself at how silly she sounded. "She's prooooobably with her boyfriend whom I l-liked first but shhh." She placed her hands on his lips. "Don't tell her that otherwise she'd stopped being friends with me and I don't want that."He rolled his eyes tiredly through the mask. "And where is your best friend?" His voice came again. More steady and a lot calmer than the first words he uttered. She forced herself to look around and pointed towards the elevator. They got in and after muttering strange numbers to him, she pressed herself to his huge body that completely framed her small statue."You are one...one heck.." she hiccuped, almost perceiving the alcohol in her breath. "You are one heck of a huge guy. Look at all these muscles." She touched them in fascination. She exclaimed in shock and laughed to herself at her reaction. "I bet you hit the gym all the time, am I right?" She slurred helplessly. Shit,
Sierra groaned deeply when the second wave of migrane pulsated through her veins that morning which reminded her of her reckless drinking last night. Her lips were halfway parted as she tried her best to squint her eyes closed when the warm rays of the sun seeped through the curtains of the bedroom and hit her face through the covers. She mumbled incoherent words in her unconscious state as she gathered the covers. Turning to the other side of the bed, she slowly opened her eyes to take in her surrounding. That's when it hit her that she wasn't in her bedroom. Her eyes darted to the clock in the bedroom she realized that it was soms minutes past twelve. How did she sleep for so long? She jerked awake in an instant, pushing the covers off the upper part of her body as her eyes wandered round the classy and majestic suite that she has been sleeping in. "W-What am i doing here? M-My clothes..." She stuttered when she realized that she was naked under the blanket. Fear crept and built up
Diavolo gently tapped on the keys of his grand piano. He listened quietly to the melodic sound it produced as it filtered through the empty space of his music room. His eyes were closed and his head was laid back as he drowned himself in the soulful music that came as a result of his unwavering talent.Her face. Her hair. Her tiny figure. Damn, the way she moans. The way she was straddled underneath him, asking him to go on, to not let go, to push further. His brain kept on replaying those scenes from last night and for once, he wasn't irritated. If anything, he basked himself with every thought of her.It wasn't supposed to end up with him craving her again. It was supposed to be a one night stand. He was supposed to forget about her after that night like he always does but why wasn't he trying to forget? Why does the word 'forget' sound unpleasant and abominable in his ears?He doesn't have time for this so why was he giving it time? He had been up in this house ever since he got ba
Sierra couldn't believe her ears. Touch herself? What was he? An animal? What sort of psychopath makes such requests to a woman and expects her to go through with them simply because he asked? Who does he even think he is?"I'm waiting." His voice jerked her from her thoughts and rattled her up. Well he would have to wait for an eternity because she would never touch herself. Over her dead body. He might as well just shoot her to the brain and watch her bleed to death in front of him."I'm not doing that.""It's not like you have a choice here." He answered. "Besides, I'm not asking you. I'm telling you and that's the huge difference. It's not a request piccola, It's an order."She scoffed feeling insulted. It was one thing to drag her away from her life and bring her here and it was another thing for him to request that she acts a porno simply because he wants to watch it. Request or not, he had no right."I want to rest. I've had a long day and to top it off, I'm tired." She complai
They were grooming her.That was the only sentence Sierra's brain kept on chanting repeat. They were grooming her for their master. Was this the era of slaves being sold to their masters because they were really going all out with the whole preparation thing.They had bathed her and almost scrubbed her skin dry. They washed her up in scented perfumes and wore her a red lingerie that had lace designs and adjustable shoulder straps with a bow detail and a low V neckline. The garment flowed from a fitted top into a floaty skirt.The lingerie had a slit that ran from her stomach down to the upper thigh with an opening that revealed her breasts. They took great care of her as though their lives depended on it. Well, he had threatened them earlier on so if they don't do it then he would have their heads. How were they able to survive in this place. She would've run mad if she was stuck here with that masked demon."You're ready." They announced when they were done. She snatched her eyes fro
"We're here!"Sierra heard the loud but firm voice of one of Diavolo's men forcing her to snap her eyes open. In her fuzzy and confused state, she looked around to see Diavolo next to her scrolling through what seems to be a magazine. He didn't even spare her a single glance. Not that she even asked him to anyways.It took her a minute to realize that it was already night time. Just how long has she been out? Come to think of it, he was the reason why they were so late at night. After he forcefully made her agree to go with him, they have been on the road because somehow, he had a lot of businesses and meetings to attend. She had almost lost track of many stops they had made before she fell asleep. A normal person would try to apologize but she doesn't see that happening with this man at all. Well, in all fairness, he wasn't a normal person was he?With a light groan, she rubbed her eyes a little aggressively than intended and ran her fingers through her hair that has already been dis
"Do you really have to go to work today?" Sierra asked Reya who pulled down her coat from the rack to wear them as she trailed behind her. She wasn't having a good feeling about being in the house all alone while Dean and Reya went about their daily business. She felt like a prisoner and it's all thanks to that bad man who's out to get her."Can't you take today off? Please Reya?" She pleaded desperately. Her voice filled with dread that ran through her entire being. She didn't want to act selfish and she knows that requesting something like this from Reya is selfish but she couldn't help it.It's been three days since she was brought here and although she was happy that he hasn't been able to find her, she still couldn't shake off the feeling that he was still looking and will one day show up here unannounced. Deep down she was hoping that he wouldn't and that he would get tired and give up eventually but even she knows that it wasn't possible. He won't accept defeat so easily.Somet
"She ran away Diavolo." Luca informed me. "She isn't in her room. She must've escaped through the window without anyone seeing her because sadly, the shutters are open and she left her phone deliberately as a souvenir." He threw the phone on the nearest couch and swiped his hands across his face in utter frustration. "The little she devil.""I expected her to." Was all he said in response to that statement, shocking him. "It was bound to happen sooner or later don't you think?" He asked before rising up slowly to his feet. He doesn't know why but the little gimmicks and party tricks she just pulled made him a little curious for some reason. "I mean what would you have done if a strange man showed up in your house and requests that you move in with him unannounced?" He asked but silence met his question. Diavolo was somewhat thrilled. No woman has ever tried to run away from him before but this one just did and right under his nose for that matter. It took a lot of guts and he'd give
Sierra intentionally sat down on the edge of her bed. It's been ten minutes already and she still hasn't packed yet. She knew that she had given him right over her but that doesn't mean that he could show up in her house and force her to leave with him. She was still worried about Nora and she's yet to hear back from the doctor concerning her sister's case so how could she just leave? Why couldn't he just understand that?And what's the part about her being naked and not needing clothes? Was he trying to say that she would be seen by everyone in his mansion without clothes? Was that part of what moving in with him entailed?What then happens after that? Was he taking her to his place because he had other plans for her? Would she be used by his surbodinates as well? Are they going to sleep with her too? Was that the reason why he said that? The more she gave his statement more thought, the more it terrified her and filled her with dread. He was going to kill her. Reya was right.Why el
Sierra woke up at exactly six-thirty in the evening. She rubbed her eyes and stretched out herself on the bed to regain some sort of composure. Today was probably the longest she had slept all her life without having to think about her problems and why her life was miserable. Nora was finally okay and if everything goes according to plan then she would also be discharged soon. She felt like a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders but at the back of her head, she knew that this happiness she was experiencing at the moment was short-lived. It just wasn't over yet.The sudden reminder came with anguish and a little fear of the unknown. Shaking her head vigorously, she pushed the dreadful thoughts at the back of her head and left it there. She would bask herself in the present and leave the the things she couldn't control to the future.Just as she was about to roll out of bed, her vibrating phone rang out, disrupting her movement. With furrowed brows, she reached out for it but h
"The surgery went well and Nora is recovering just fine." The doctor informed Sierra with a pleasant smile on his face. "We've moved her to the Intensive care unit to monitor her progress and see how well she's responding to treatment. Hopefully, she'd get better soon so that she can be discharged." He added."Thank you so much Doctor." Sierra whispered gratefully, her hands clasped together in deep appreciation. Her sister was out of danger and it's only because of him and how he had helped them so far."I should also commend your efforts Sierra." He said, adjusting his glasses that framed his face. "You made it happen so good job. If you hadn't stepped up, we would probably be singing a different story but I'm glad it didn't come to that." He said with a placating smile.Sierra forced a wry smile. If only he knew what she did to get that money. If only he knew that she had sacrificed her freedom and possibly her entire life to a masked monster whom she barely knew just to save her s
"Breathe Sierra, Breathe."Those were the words that Reya kept on chanting repeatedly as they both scurried their way through the busy hallways of the the hospital in search of the doctor or Nora's ward.She had left everything she was doing the minute the doctor told her that her sister was in a critical condition. Luckily for her, Reya had taken matters into her own hands by driving her down there. She couldn't even think properly at the moment and if she had decided to take matters into her own hands by driving down here, she would've been done for. It would've been her funeral instead of her sister. Just why on earth does bad things always happen to her?"Doctor!" Sierra hollered at the middle aged man who just walked out of a ward that resembled a theater. He was reviewing some papers but he handed it over to his nurse almost immediately. "Nora?...my sister...how is she?""Have you tried to reach out to your father yet?" He asked instead, his gaze staring down at her pitifully. S
