The van finally stopped and I was dragged out by the hefty me."Let me go.. let me go!!!" I kicked and screamed."Shut up bitch!" The one who was exchanging words with me in the van said angrily but I ignored him and continued struggling.He frowned in anger and raised his hands to hit me. I closed my eyes, expecting the pain but instead, I heard a loud gunshot.I opened my eyes to see him laying dead on the floor with blood flowing out of his forehead. I screamed in shock."There's no need to be afraid love. I'm here for you." I heard that familiar voice say.I turned to see who just said those words."Roman." I said as I stared at him in horror."Miss me love?" He said with a devilish smirk playing on his lips."No no no no...!!!" I screamed in fear as I tried to escape but they easily caught me."No need to be scared now love. I haven't even started yet." He said.This can't be. I can't let him take me. I bent down on my knees, held his legs and pleaded."Please let me go. I'm so s
He was about to tear off my clothes when a loud gunshot was heard. After that, series of screams and more gunshot followed.Roman quickly stood up from my body, making me sigh in relief. I quickly stood up and adjusted my tattered clothes. That was a really close call. It seems that the mansion was under attack. Whoever the assailants are, I really thank them because the commotion they just caused saved me big time.I had a feeling it was Damian but I really hoped he wasn’t the one because I didn’t know how I would react to his presence after finding out he is a mafia lord.I just hoped that it was one of Roman’s enemies that attacked him.He quickly put on his trousers and brought out a gun I didn’t notice had been in a drawer all along.“Quiet.” He warned as he stood in front of the door.He cocked the gun and pointed it towards the door so as to be prepared for any unplanned attack. The gunshots were getting louder and nearer followed by painful screams and grunts.I could notice
“Do you have something to ask me?” I heard him ask so I looked up to see him staring down at me.It’s now or never. I might not like the answer he would say but I just wanted to know the truth. I summoned all courage within me and opened my mouth.“Are you part of a mafia?” I blurted out staring at him.I felt his body stiffened beside me. His hands wrapped around mine tightened. His calm expression turned into shock. What’s with that reaction?? That only means Roman was right. I could feel my heart tighten around my chest. I can’t believe I have been living with a mafia don.Relax Selina. Don’t jump into conclusions yet. Let’s get the truth from him before accusing him. I managed to calm myself down.The truth was right in front of me but I still refused to believe it. I wanted to hear him say it himself. I know it sounds stupid but I’m still holding unto a tiny bit of hope that what Roman told me wasn’t the truth.I stared at him in waiting. I was waiting for his reply. I hoped dee
THE NEXT DAYI woke up feeling very refreshed. All the pain of yesterday had almost disappeared. I stretched my body and was about to stand up when I felt something weighing me down.I looked down and saw Damian’s arm wrapped around my waist. I didn’t notice he had been lying there all along.I felt really pressed so I tried to lift his hands carefully so I wouldn’t wake him but that only made his tighten his arms around me.I tried harder but he dragged me closer to himself. I gasped in shock because our body were so close that I could feel the heat emanating from his body.What was more shocking that was that he was shirtless. His well toned abs were giving me quite a show.His sleep eyes fluttered open and he stared at me with a smile on his lips. Oh God, I could get lost in that gaze of his forever.“Where are you princess?” I heard his husky morning voice that made my panties wet. I could feel my throat dry. What are you doing to me Damian?“I need to use the restroom.” I manage
“What were we talking ab……”“Don’t play with me Damian. You clearly know what I’m talking about.”He opened his mouth to say something but I beat him to it.“You have answered my question. I asked if you were with the mafia. I want nothing but the truth.” I pleaded in desperation.“What does it matter?” He asked.“I just need to know what I’m dealing with so please be honest with me.” I answered.“You really want the truth?” He asked me.“Yes.” I answered.“First promise me something.” He said.“What is it?” I asked.“Promise me you won’t take any drastic decision once you learn the truth.” He pleaded.“But..”“Just promise me.” He said more desperately.“Alright. I promise. Now tell me the truth.” I urged as I braced myself for the worst.“You’re right. I’m not just part of the mafia, I’m a Mafia Don.” ………………………………Damian stared at her to see if she had any shocked expression or see if she would lash out at him but was surprised to see she still remained calm and collected like she
ONE WEEK LATER“You are recovering really well Selina. In less than a week now, all the pain would be gone.” Dr. Felix said as he dressed the last wound.“Really??” I asked happily.“ Yes. Just make sure to always take the drugs I prescribed for you. Also, make sure to always rub these ointments on you bruises after you finished taking a shower. Do it regularly and I assure you that your skin would be as good as new.” He said as he placed some bottles on the table beside the bed.“Thank you so much doctor.” I said as I sat up on the bed with his help though.“You are always welcome. And call me Felix. We have known each other long enough to call each other by our first names.” He said.“Okay doc… sorry Felix.” I said with a small smile.Over the past week, Felix and I had gotten somewhat close. He is really funny, nice and considerate. If not for Damian, I would have probably fallen for him.Speaking of Damian, I barely see him these days. We rarely eat and gist together like we did b
I was about to enter the office when I heard voices within. It seems like Damian was discussing about something serious with Grey so I decided to come back later.I was about to leave when something Grey said caught my attention. It seemed like they were discussing about me.I know it wasn’t right but I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. “You are torturing someone who has been close to you for years all because of a woman you had just met.” I heard Grey say.Really, is that the reason why he has been acting strange towards me? That’s the reason Grey has been so cold for the past few days.He thinks I caused an enmity between Damian and his friend.“Roman touched something that’s mine. He needs to pay for his wrong doings.” Damian answered nonchalantly.How funny, he’s still referring to me as his property. I thought that after these few days, his view of me would have changed. I guess not. That really hurt me.I was about to leave but something in me pushed me to listen mor
I yawned tiredly as I stood up from the bed. I scratched my sleepy eyes before I stared at the other side of the bed.I noticed Damian wasn’t there but I didn’t mind. He might have woken up early today. I went straight to the bathroom.I picked my tooth brush and put some tooth paste on it, then I used it to brush my teeth. When I was done, I rinsed my mouth and face.I looked up to stare at my reflection on the mirror. I smiled when I saw that I’m really glowing lately. It wasn’t like before that I have to force a smile on my face while thinking about the misfortunes I have been passing through.I have decided to leave things as it is which my mind feel more at rest. Since the past two weeks after Damian and I made up, I’ve never fought with him. Besides petty quarrels in which he begs me later and I’ll forgive him.That’s how the cycle has been between us. I really commend him for his gentle man behavior. Like I said before, I decided to let things go so I asked Damian to release Ro
I crawled weakly towards Damian, ignoring the shards of broken glass that were cutting my knees and wrapped my hands around him shakily.I cried like I have never done before as I tightened my arms around me while he returned the hug too.“He is finally dead. We did it.” I whispered as more tears kept on flowing down my face like a waterfall.“You did it.” Damian muttered as he buried his head on the crook of my neck.I cried harder as I held him closer. That was a really close call. I suddenly heard footsteps sounding out side so I picked up a pistol.I was about to shoot at whomever it was that would enter the living room when I saw Felix trooping in carefully with some boys behind him.He is still alive??“Fuck!!!” Felix cussed out when he saw Mark and Grey’s dead body.He still hasn’t noticed our presence because we were at a dark corner.“Make sure they are all dead. None of them can leave here alive.” Felix ordered.“Yes boss.” The men said as they began checking all the bodies.
“Selina.” I heard and looked over to see Damian sprawled on the floor.His face and body was filled with blood. He looked like he had been attacked.“Damian!!” I called out in fear and was about to run towards him when someone suddenly grabbed me.“Going somewhere??” My teary eyes widened when I saw those familiar blue eyes staring down at me. No way. No fucking way!!!Mark??? He found us!! Conniption gripped me and I tried to break away from his hold but my attempts were futile. I finally had an idea but I didn’t know if it would work.I managed to release one of my hands and attempted to hit him but as expected, he easily caught it. He held it and smirked at me.“What are you trying to do?? Hit me??” He asked as he laughed while his minions joined him too.He was finally distracted. I took that chance and kicked him very hard where the sun doesn’t shine. He released me immediately and landed on the floor with as a painful grunt escaped his lips.“Boss!!” His minions called as the
“I should use you as a scape goat to anyone that tries to cross me. Be it friend or foe. They always die miserably.” Damian said as he finally released the last bullet on his forehead.The door was suddenly barged open, revealing Mark who had a blood splattered on his face and body.“Finally..” He said as he faced Damian.“I finally get to meet the one person I have been waiting for, for three years now. Did you miss me? Because I know I did.” Mark said with a smirk playing on his lips.“You bet. I have been dreaming about thus day since I found out you were still alive. I want to take in the joy and satisfaction I would get by ending you myself.” Damian said.“I see. That is only if you would be able to kill me yourself.” Mark said.“Why? You think I’m still like the same person I was three years ago?? You think I wouldn’t hesitate to kill you just because you were my friend??” Damian asked as he brought out a pistol from his back pocket and pointed it at Mark.This action made Mark
“Just do a you were told and take care of the body.” Damian said.Suddenly, we heard car engines revving outside. Is someone here?? “Are you expecting some one??” Felix asked Damian.“This is a safe house. Who will I be expecting??” Damian asked back.“How was Ana able to find this place if it was a safe house??” Felix asked back.“Your nemesis has finally caught up with you.” Grey said as he smirked at Damian.What is he seriously talking about?? The way he is acting is starting to scare me.I shrieked in fear when I suddenly heard gunshots outside and people screaming in fear. It seems like Damian’s guards and the intruders were exchanging bullets.“We need to leave now. There are intruders here.” Felix said as he peeped through an open space in the window.“You all can’t leave here….. alive.” Grey muttered.“What are you talking about??” Damian asked Grey.“Who else would be bold enough to barge into this place, that you think would be safe to hide you and your lover??” Grey asked
He had followed us to the safe house.“We will just stay here till the problem at hand is no more.” Damian said.“Okay.” I agreed.Anywhere is better than staying in that hospital.We walked in. I was about to go into any room I could find when I noticed something, rather someone in the living room.It was a woman and she had her back turned towards us.“Who’s that?” I asked and everyone’s attention turned towards her.She finally noticed our presence and turned to face us. My jaw dropped when I saw her. She was by far the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes upon.She smiled when she saw us.“Damian.” She called as she batted her long lashes seductively.I could feel Damian’s reaction was that of shock. Who is she and how does she know him, or this place.“Ana.” Damian finally uttered.She is Ana?????The Ana that betrayed him and planned to kill him?? It felt so unreal. The same lady I was praising for her angelic beauty turns out to be a crazy wench.People say you can’t ju
FOUR DAYS LATERI sat down tiredly and watched as the doctor did another test on Felix per his and Damian’s request. For the past four days, this had been their routine.They have been requesting the doctor for countless tests to be undergone on Felix before they would discharge him.According to them, they didn’t want any complications later. The doctor was obviously tired of their disturbance because of his sluggish movements and the very obvious dark circles underneath his eyes.I bet he hasn’t been having enough sleep because of the way they have been disturbing him but couldn’t complain because Damian would have his tongue, literally.I’m already exhausted too. for almost two weeks, I have been sleeping on this hard couch. My back and butt hurt a lot.I haven’t even been able to sleep on most occasions. I’m pretty sure dark circles would have appeared on my eye lids too.I just wish I could go back to the mansion right now, take a warm bath in the tub and have a very deep sleep.
Felix wanted to say something but one look from Damian was enough to shut him off. Felix scoffed angrily but didn’t say anything anymore.Okay, things are finally getting heated. I wonder why Damian is so sure of Grey. You can never know when someone close to you decides to turn their back on you. Though it hurts, but it always happens.The air in the rom had finally turned sour as the two men wouldn’t stop giving each other dreadful looks. I decided not to butt into their affairs. They are old enough to sort things out themselves.I rested tiredly on the headrest and was about to close my tired eyes when something caught my attention.It was Grey. He was leaning on the room’s door, he had been eavesdropping on our conversation. he had a malicious smirk on before he stopped eavesdropping and leaned away from the door.He knocked a few times on the door before entering the room. His eyes widened in shock and happiness when he saw Felix.“You are finally awake Felix. I was a afraid you
“Can you please excuse us Selina? I and Damian need to discuss about something really important.” Felix suddenly asked as he turned to stare at me.“Uhm okay.” I said and was about to leave when Damian held me back.“We can just discuss while she is here.” Damian said as he pulled me in.Felix looked at us in confusion. When he saw that Damian didn’t seem to change his mind soon, he gave up.“Alright.” He said in surrender. I sighed and reluctantly sat down on the couch opposite them.“What do you need to discuss?” Damian asked as he walked closer to Felix.Felix looked over at me first. It seemed like he was hesitating whether to say whatever he wanted to say in front of me.Damian noticed his stares and said;“Don’t worry. Just talk.” Felix finally gave up.“It is about my accident.” He started.“What is wrong? You know who is behind it?” Damian asked eagerly.“Yes, and you do to.” Felix answered.“Who is it?” Damian asked. But it seemed like he already knew who it was.“It is Mar
ONE WEEK LATERI watched as Damian sat close to Felix and watched him in his unconscious state like it was the most important in the world right now.It has been a whole week now and Felix still have not regained consciousness. We didn’t go to the mansion during those days.We have been staying, eating, bathing and sleeping in the hospital. Some guards usually went to the mansion to bring our clothes and food for us because I didn’t enjoy eating the hospital food.Well, I would have liked to go home for a fresh and warm bath in a tub but Damian didn’t agree even though I assured him that it wouldn’t take long.He said that it was dangerous for me to leave his sight. Maybe it was because of the bomb that went off in that hotel or because of Felix’s accident.Lately, Damian has become really overprotective and wouldn’t let me go out unless I’m was going with him or Grey. Though the privacy invasion was really unbearable, I didn’t argue with him because I know he meant well.I just hoped
