"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
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
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
"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
"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
"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
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
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

"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
