The warm touch of the sun filtering through the windows woke me up and I stirred, gradually opening my eyes and taking in my environment.I noted first how sore, and I mean deliciously sore my body was and hey...not that I’m complaining or anything. I had asked for it.I shuddered in delight as flashes of the night before played through my mind. Ivan had gone full beast mode, to the point where I almost felt like I would collapse.I smiled at the images of the various positions, angles, and the multiple orgasms he had given me throughout the night. I doubt I would actually be able to walk straight.Not that my capability to walk was actually what was my mind right now anyways. No.It was how relaxed I felt, how peaceful I felt that had me arching a brow.I turned around, to look at the sleeping masculine body beside me. He looked so...relaxed, as much as I felt. I have never seen him like this. Not once since I knew him.And there was a hint of a smile playing at his lips.A lovely dr
~~Cecilia~~“I'm pregnant.” The whole room fell into silence immediately at my sudden declaration, that the only sound heard was SpongeBob's voice from the TV and that of my racing heartbeat.My parents, who had just gotten in a few minutes ago, and now sitting on our white sofa, exchanged a quick glance, surprise, and shock reflecting on their faces. Alex, my sweet and innocent little brother, simply stared at me, his big brown eyes wide with curiosity, as if he understood a word I just said. But I guess he must have felt the instant drop of tension in the room.My father spoke first, "Cecilia, What did you just say? Is this some sort of prank?'I shook my head, “No, papa. It's the truth.”“But Cecil you can't be pregnant,” mum rushed out, “you are a virgin aren't you?”That was something every parent badly wants to believe about their daughters. But I'm sorry mum, I had my V card swiped in a car when I was fifteen.However, given the situation at hand, I'm guessing that's not hel
~~Cecilia~~ The stench, which filled the whole room_ combination of sweat, urine and bad breaths_ would have been very nauseating, but I was already pretty used to it by now. One month of being locked up, with several other ladies who were between the ages of 15 and 22, in one room could make you get used to things you never imagined you could endure. And honestly, my concern was my baby, not me. The first week had been the toughest. Throwing up every day, morning sickness or just the nauseating stink, or maybe both? I had no idea. And right now, I am just struggling to keep a very straight face at the very disgusting stink coming out from the sweaty, bulky man beside me as he and three other thugs, led us down a hall. God-damn it. Don't these men know what bathing is? There were three of them, their faces etched in cruel indifference, as they led us all down a dimly lit corridor. We were all dressed in white gowns like lambs about to be used for sacrifice. Maybe we are. Perha
~~Cecilia~~ “Don Petrov.” “Don Petrov” The audience kept cheering and clapping, oblivious of the war going on in me_ not that they had any reason to give a damn of course, but… I clutched my stomach, feeling suddenly dizzy as bile rose in my stomach. Oh My God, I'm gonna puke. This is…this is so unbelievable. This is so really unbelievable, how could I? I'm supposed to be this man's property? This same man who murdered my parents? I'm gonna have to serve him, knowing that he's responsible for my family's massacre? The nauseousness was suddenly replaced with anger, and my eyes burned with unshed tears. But most importantly, why did he want me? Why would he place such a ridiculous amount of money on me? For you to spend that much on something, it means you need that thing, but why? Oh My God, does he know who I am? That I'm the daughter of the same man he murdered? Maybe he wants to make me suffer more for whatever twisted reason he has. Maybe he wishes to see me go throu
Cecilia's POV “You might want to relax Dominick,” The boss said, barely batting an eyelid at the furious man standing mere metres away. I frowned at the man's appearance. Aside from the slight wrinkles on his face and the white strands that filled his hair, he looked a lot like the boss. Like Don Petrov. They had to be related then. I wasn't exactly sure how the mafia worked. Dad had kept his involvement with them a secret but I wasn't naive to believe he was completely clean. That didn't mean that Dad was a villain either. He loved us. He would do anything to protect us. To protect me. Even when- Tears burned the corner of my eyes as I looked down at my stomach. Even when I had disappointed him, he had promised to stand by my side. “Calm down? B'yad! What were you thinking? She's a Rossi!” Dominik bellowed, pointing at me. The look on his face was murderous enough for me to drop my spoon in fear. I hadn't told Don my name. I glanced at him, eyes wide in fear. What would
Cecilia's POV “A-Assassins?” I stuttered. My eyes doubled in size. What on earth did he mean assassins? My father would never be involved with assassins. There was no way, right? Don Petrov stared at me, a blank expression on his face. But those eyes, they warned me not to dare him. “Papa,” I swallowed, dropping my gaze on my hands. I clasped them together, wrenching them nervously. I could feel the heat in his gaze as I continued speaking. “Papa would never be involved with assassins,” Tilting my face up with his hands, he cocked a brow, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Please tell me you do not think your father was a saint,” There was a harsh edge to his voice as he spoke. My hands trembled and I held them tighter trying to hide the tremor. He was intimidating. But even more annoying was the snide way he spoke. As if I were some naive little girl who knew nothing. "He wasn't a saint," I spat, unable to take the insult against my father. "But that doesn't make him some
Cecilia's POV “Rise and shine,” Darya’s voice breached through my sleep. The curtains slid apart with a yank and the bright morning sun filtered in. I winced, trying to block out the light. I had barely gotten any sleep the night before. With all the crying and the constant fear that Don Petrov would be back at midnight to finish what he started. His threats rang loud in my ears. He would demand answers today. I had nothing to tell him. “Get up,” Darya sniped, strutting towards my bed and yanking the covers off me. I gasped, sitting up quickly, staring into her fierce eyes. “What's wrong princess? Were you expecting a gentle tap? What does this place look like to you? You're fucking castle?” Why on earth was she so nasty? And why was she in my room anyway? “What… what do you want?” I mumbled. “Oh I don't know, maybe leave and never come back,” she sneered, folding her arms. “Get your ass off the fucking bed, it's time for breakfast.” “I'm not hungry,” I muttered, r
My first reaction was SHOCK!.Followed by a scream in my head to push him away.I raised my hands, intending to do just that, but the moment I placed my palms on my chest, a strange heat coursed through my whole body, making me shiver and dampening the fight and resistance in me instantly.His hand took hold of my neck as his lips pressed tighter against mine and the shivers turned to a delicious tingle.I moaned before I could stop myself but I didn't care.My palms clenched his fabric tightly as I opened up, giving his tongue access to invade my mouth.I moaned again, my eyes drifting close as his tongue sparred with mine.It was so good...I thought holding him tighter, arching closer to him so u could get more.It is just too good.His other hand slipped around my waist and pulled me closer to him. A gasp tore past my lip into his mouth when I felt his very hard erection on my tummy.I was definitely going crazy.That's the only word to describe what was happening yet I couldn't fi

~~CECILIA~~It took at least twenty minutes, but Ivan succeeded in tearing Darya away from the red haired bimbo.Although twenty minutes was a little bit too late because by the time she was pulled up from the floor, her face was all swollen from the slaps and her top was torn from the front, the only thing preventing her breast from hanging out was her white Lace bra."How dare you, you low life rat?" She screeched her eyes wide in fear, "I'll make you pay for this! I'm going to make you pay!!""Thank your fucking stars that I wasn't driving a dagger into your belly bitch. Another word from you, and I'll shut you up forever."Luckily the woman didn't say another word. She turned to Ivan as if expecting him to do something, but when Ivan just stared at her in cold glare, she scoffed and ran off the building.I almost pitied her. Almost.I know her type. Besides, I had other things to worry about."Are you okay, Rossi?" Ivan asked and I shot him a glare."What do you care?"He shrugged
~~ CECILIA~~"Rossi…." Darya swore, obviously uncomfortable, but still wrapped her arm around me and placed my head on her shoulders as my body wrecked uncontrollably in sobs.I had no idea why I was crying- again. I had promised myself to be stronger and I've tried so much to be.Tears won't solve anything, tears will not change anything.But no matter how many times I repeated those words in my head, it still doesn't change anything- doesn't stop the tears from flowing.Darya patted my back, rubbing my shoulders which were shaking so hard.I clung onto her black jacket and hid my face deeper in her neck."Calm down, Rossi…" she murmured, surprisingly calm considering how many times she has insulted me because I'm such a cry baby. I wasn't expecting her to be this calm about me bawling my eyes out in front of her this way- but maybe she has an atom of compassion in her.Whatever it is, I'm grateful that she held me, patiently until my sobs quieted down."I'm sorry," I whispered my
~~CECILIA~~Two days.Two fucking days and I have not heard a thing from the boss of the house.I've heard him come in and out- but it's like he moves with the winds because by the time I come out, he's gone again driving off in his power bike.Not that I should bother- hell I'm not.Liar….A tiny voice whispers into my ears and I frown deeply brushing it away.I AM NOT BOTHERED ABOUT HIS PRESENCE.But, the thing is that I am. I always was.No matter how hard I try to deny it, the pang of worry is still there, eating at me, bothering me.And the heat that sweeps through me every night while I yearn for sleep isn't helping matters at all.What exactly happened?After the unpleasant incident two nights back…After we had sex..I blushed furiously, and bit my lip as I remembered. I already told myself that there was no need to feel guilty about what I did, and what I wanted.One is that this craving is beyond natural. I could either give in to it or die, and I am so sure that it could ki
~~ SILAS ~~Seeing Alex's face crumbled in pain and confusion was a little heartbreaking, so I immediately pulled him into a hug.It bugged him out at first, as his body tensed up- apparently not expecting the display of emotion, but he eventually leaned Into the hug.He was getting much better and more open than he was a week ago. The first few days he spent in this house he had refused to come out of his room, and we had respected his distance-only very slowly approaching him to let him know that this isn't the slave house he spent the past few months in.And my brothers and I had tried our best to make him feel at home. It was heartbreaking to imagine what he had to go through, the pains he had to endure in that torture cell for two months.He's just young. Too young, and my blood boils when I think of it.When I see the scars on his back from being beaten with canes, the scars on his palms from hard work. And the sadness, the depth of pain in his eyes that no child had a business

~~ROMAN~~Silas was seething. The tension in his body and anger rolling off him was almost funny if I wasn't so upset myself.It is very rare to see the collected Silas this angry and I could see the surprise in Darya's eyes even though she tried so much to hide it.It still amazes me until now how much she has changed. How stronger and more deceptive she has become over the years- how much the woman we once gave our heart to had turned and changed.What was it that happened?Darya's mother was my mother's personal maid which means they lived with us. We all grew up together- the four of us. And as kids she was like the sister we never had.Until we started growing older, we started understanding lust and want between men and women and started growing in brotherly feelings towards her.Hmmm. Darya was a very cheerful girl, filled with so much delight. So much delight and she had been so innocent- or so she wanted us to believe.It was that innocence that made us respect her boundaries
~~DARYA~~I was on my way out when I overheard them. First it was Alistair's annoying laugh, then Rossi's hushed voice and two other maids whispering and snickering.What on earth were they doing? I walked to the kitchen and stopped just by the doorway to eavesdrop and overheard Ilana telling Cecilia about Ivan's missing.That doesn't bother me because it is a story that everyone in the hood knows. But what bothered me was Rossi's expression. At first it was sad, then it just turned full on suspicious, like she was drawing a plan in her mind.One reason I'm Ivan's favourite person- enough to be his right hand is how perspective I am. I can easily fucking read a person with their facial expression. It would goddamn take a skilled poker face to throw me off.And Rossi…girl has something up her sleeve and after a few weeks of watching her, I could swear it was nothing good.I leaned against the door frame folding my arm across my chest as she whispered questions which Ilana- big mouth sh
