On my way to exit from the nightclub, I passed in front of the V.I.P corner and then someone just grabbed me by the waist just behind me and then said : "wanna dance with me baby ?". This man was stinking alcohol which was just disgusting.
"No, thank you", I replied to him while trying to free myself but then he pulled me closer and tight me very hard against him and said : "I think you didn't understand very well what I just said. I want you to dance with me and I don't accept a no as answer".
"And I said that I don't want to dance with you so now let go of me", I told him and then I still tried to free myself but I have just hit him with my elbow.
"Ouch !! You punctured me an eye. You'll pay for that b*tch", the man said angrily but then I felt that he loosened his grip on me so I took the opportunity to free myself and then I ran as fast as I can but it's wasn't easy as the nightclub was crowded.
And when I turned around just one second, I saw the man from earlier following me with another men with him and he seemed very angry so I ran again not even looking where I was going but then I hit someone's back and fell down. And when I tried to stand up, the other man was already in front of me and then he said furiously : "We got you b*tch. You're going to pay for what you did to me earlier".
So I simply closed my eyes and at that moment the only thoughts that crossed my mind were that these men would certainly beat me to death and then let me empty my blood out without anyone to save me. But to my surprise, I didn't receive any punch yet, and when I opened my eyes, these men were no longer there. Then, I heard that voice asking : "are you alright
miss ?". I knew that I've already heard that voice somewhere but I didn't know where. And when I turned around, I was very suprirsed. The man I hit earlier was him. It was Rafael. I also saw that he was a little surprised to see me here.
Then he took my hand, dragged me to go into a kind of office just upstairs the nightclub.
"What are we doing here ?", I asked but then he moved towards me little by little.
And the more he was approaching , the more I was stepping back until I hit the table behind me but he continued to approach until there were no more spaces between us. Then , he put both of his hands on the table blocking me in the middle, he then leaned over me, he was so close that I can feel his hot breath on my neck and the most surprising things was that this situation didn't displease at all, on the contrary I liked it.
He then whispered into my ear : " why didn't you call me back Ashley ? " but I didn't say anything at that moment, I was still trying to find words in my head.
"Uh...I...I...was...about to call earlier but... I didn't know what to say and I thought that maybe you didn't remember me anymore", I said, stuttering.
"How could you believe that I could forget you ? You are not someone that we can forget so easily, Ashley", Rafael whispered again.
But when I was about to say something, the door opened abruptly and a man wearing a black suit entered immediately and said : " Rafael ?! Lorenzo has arrived downstairs and it's been a while now " but then he noticed that we were in an unsual position and then said : " perdoname, mi Capo. I didn't know that you were... occupied with someone ".
"That's fine Carlos. Please drive Lorenzo in a private room and tell him that I'll join him in a minute " , Rafael told him. We were still in our old position when another man very well dressed came abruptly in the office and said : "Rafael, my old friend. What can hold you here so long that you can't welcome your old friend Lorenzo like it should be". And then this man threw a look at me and said : " Oh !! It looks like you are in a great company ".
I moved away quickly as it was a little uncomfortable to know that these can see us like that.
"Carlos, please take Ashley somewhere else than here . I have some businesses to take care of ith Lorenzo ", Rafael said and then the man with a black suit replied : " Si Capo ! Please, this way Ms. Conrad ", and then I followed him and this Lorenzo was looking at me carefully until I get out of the office.
"WOW !! I totally understand why were you busy here. I would have done the same thing if I was with a girl like her ", Lorenzo said.
" I know what you have in mind Lorenzo and don't even think about it . She is mine literally ", Rafael replied him .
" Ah ! Really ?! Would I have met the future Mrs. Herrera ? " , Lorenzo said and then laughed .
Rafael then rolled his eyes and said : " we are here to talk about business Lorenzo , aren't we ?"
" Oh ! Come onn ! It was just a joke. So, why did you call me here ?", Lorenzo told him .
" You certainly knew that it has been more than a week now since someone stole my new shipments ?", Rafael said .
" Yeah, I heard about that. I'm sorry for you my old friend ", Lorenzo replied." A few days ago, some of my men found near the docks where my shipments had been stolen some ashes of cigars " , Rafael said." And what does that have with me ? " , Lorenzo asked him curiously .
" I didn't finish yet " , Rafael told him .
" Yeah , sorry please continue " , Lorenzo replied .
" Well , they made them analyze and it turns out that it corresponds exactly to the ashes of the cigar costly expensive that you smoke most of the time " , Rafael said , throwing an accusing look at Lorenzo .
" Wait ! Wait ! Are you actually accusing me from stealing your shipment ?
" The facts speak for themselves Lorenzo " , Rafael simply told him .
" You can't be serious rigt now ? What would I have been able to do with your shipments , uh ? I don't even what they contain . Rafael ! You know me . I will never have done that to you " , Lorenzo said to him .
" Why these ashes were there Lorenzo if you weren't there ? " , Rafael asked , furious .
But I do not know anything about me. I never set foot on these Rafael docks.Lorenzo Bertolini is one of the main bosses of the Mafia from around the world, he controls the whole city of Sicily and many other cities in Italy. At first when I just built my own empire, I consider Lorenzo as my biggest enemy but today I consider him more as the big brother that I never had. He helped me a lot at some difficult times and I also helped him back and I know he would never have done such a thing to me. So , what did these ashes do there if it wasn't Lorenzo ?Meanwhile as Rafael and Lorenzo were talking in Rafael's office at the nightclub , Carlos took Ashley to a private room as Rafael ordered him to . " So you are Carlos , right ? " , Ashley asked Carlos to break the deafening silence as it's been a while now that she was there with him and he still didn't say anything . " Yes , that's my name " , Carlos simply replied . " I'm Ashley , nice to meet you Carlos . You work for Rafael , aren't you ? " , Ashley asked again . " Yes , I'm his right hand " , Carlos said coldly . " What do you do for him exactly ? " , Ashley asked curiously . " As a right hand , Rafael gives me his full confidence and I give him my total loyalty . Thus , he gives me the most delicate and important tasks. And it's up to me too to take care of his businesses when he isn't there or when he is busy with something or someone else " , Carlos explained to Ashley . " Ah !! I see now . You are like his best friend then and you must know everything about him even his
" I'm okay Rafael. I just need my clothes and my phone. My friends are certainly worried about me. That's all and then I'll leave " , Ashley said . " I'll bring you new clothes and your phone too but I won't let you go anywhere " , Rafael told her . " Excuse-me ?! ", Ashley replied to him, surprised. " Maybe you didn't hear me very well, I' ve just said that I' ll leave , it wasn't a question but a statement ", Ashley then replied to him confidently. Then Rafael started getting closer to Ashley but she stepped back as he approached her and she almost fell. Luckily, Rafael caught her and delicate her right hand on back for Camera from falling and Ashley felt from a shot of the thrills browse all his body then his heart started beating faster and stronger than she was afraid that Rafael could hear it beating so fast. " And I said that I won't let you go anywhere ", he whispered before saying : " and it's an order not a statement " " You can't keep me here ", she shouted. " Of cour
A week is now past after attack at nightclub, for me it was a pretty difficult week because every night I still had horrible nightmares on what happened in addition every time I walk in The street, I have a very strange feeling, as if someone followed me wherever I went and still as if I was watching more closely. There is always this black car who always waits in front of my apartment every day and that I also find in front of the university and to be honest it's very frustrating. I walked quietly in the street to go home after classes when I noticed that this man dressed in black was already behind me a few minutes before I left the university. " I need to know if that guy is really following me or not. So, I'm going to stop at this grocery store. I will pretend to buy something and then I'll see if it's there too or if he follows his own way ", Ashley said to herself. She really stopped at the grocery store and entered there to pretend to buy something and then she noticed that
" Now let me go ", Ashley said. " Are you sure that's what you want ? ", Rafael asked with a seductive voice. " Wh...at ?! ", she replied, confused. " Do you really want me to let you go ? ", he asked again. " Yeah... I mean yeah I want you to let me go ", Ashley stuttered. " Alright then. I have something to take care of and then I'll get you home ", Rafael said, moving away from Ashley. " Ok, no problem ", she told him and then they left the room. Rafael returned to the conference room and Ashley went in the kitchen in hope to find the lady who let her go the other day. " May I he
Ashley's day took place as usual: she worked at the cafe before going to her classes and worked at Jo's restaurant after the end of her classes. It was now time for her to prepare for dinner with Rafael. Obviously, she is very nervous about the accessories of this dinner since it has been now that she does not come out of a man.She hesitated a long time to choose what outfit she was going to wear, but she finally decided to wear a blush pink A-line short homecoming dress with a V-neck and with a square toe ankle strap, chunky heel sandals and a mini light pink color bag. She then put some makeup on her eyelids, not too much but just enough to highlight her eyes and then put a fruity lipstick on her lips.Then someone knocked on the door" Yeah, I'm coming ", Ashley shouted as she hurried to open the door.
" Thank you so much Rafael for tonight, I had a great evening ", Ashley told him. " Despite the fact that you ate snails tonight ", Rafael said, chuckling. " Yeah, despite that. I had a great time with you tonight. Next time, I'll let you choose them for me", she said and then laughed. " Next time ?!", Rafael asked while looking at Ashley. " Yeah, I mean ... if there is a next time ... like if you still want to hang out with me next time not tomorrow but next time next time", Ashley stammered. " Sure ! I had a great time tonight with you and I think we should totally hang out again. Just tell me when you are free ", Rafael told her. " Alright ! Good night Rafael !", As
Days went by as Ashley was still angry against Kamila and that they didn't talk to each other yet. It was not the first time that Kamila talked to Ashley like that, she always likes to remind her that they don't have the same backgrounds and sometimes Ashley asked herself why is she still hanging out with her. As Ashley was finishing her shift at Jo's restaurant, Brad came into the restaurant, sat at a table and read the menu. Noticing him, Ashley didn't bother to come towards him as she already knew why he was here and continued to wipe the table. " Ashley ?! We have a customer at table four. Go take his orders ", Jo told Ashley. " Uh... Actually, Jo, do you mind if someone else takes his orders, I'm not really in the mood to talk to him ", she replied. " Nooo
Ashley has spent the whole night at Kamila's apartment as Kamila was feeling very upset after she had surprised her father having an affair with an intern in his company. It was not the first time that had happened, Kamila's father had an affair with several other women before. Kamila had surprised him the first time when she was 12 years old, her father had promised her not to have an affair with another woman again if she did not talk to her mother about it but of course Kamila's mother already knew about his affair. Later, Kamila surprised him again with another woman when she was a second year student at Wrentford. Her father once again had promised her to end his affair immediately and that he won't start again and Kamila thought that he had really stopped until a few days ago, after she argued with Ashley, Kamila had surprised her father with an i
