"Mam, please wake up, mam..," my eyes snapped open at the voice of someone continuously calling for me. I was in a cold sweat, paranoia taking over due to the loss of the familiar soothing cologne. I rub my eyes to fully awaken myself and realized I was in my car. Standing in front of me like two giant pillars were my dad's bodyguards. "Mam, are you okay?" How did I end up in my car, I forced my body up to look around and my car was parked a few meters away from the property? The guards helped me out of the car, "Mam, why were you sleeping in your car?" They asked."I was drunk so..," I realized they don't need to know everything, I handed my car keys to one of them saying, "I'll go to my room,""Mam.," I cut them off as I was in no mood of chatting. Why did he not wake me up before leaving? Maybe I should have thanked him but none of this would have happened if he would have not taken me with him in the first place. Wait! Olivia were you thinking of thanking him, from when did you
The warm water cascaded down my skin leaving goosebumps all over my body, I soaped myself getting rid of everything and everyone at once.This sensory restriction was like an extended brain blink. It cuts the outside world and ideas bubble up into awareness. Ideas to kill people by being right under their noses. A faithful dog biting his owner, do you know why because the owner snatched its most precious thing. I stepped out of the cubicle and saw a new Olivia who was ready to bring down the monster, wrapping myself in a towel I stepped into my space, and picked a bandeau neckline with elegant fold-over detailing on the cream crop top and paired it with petite wide-leg cargo trousers in beige. I tied my hair in a neat high ponytail highlighting my sharp features, I went for light makeup with dark lipstick and sneakers. Hiking my tote bag on one of my shoulders, taking my car keys and of course gun, I was ready to leave.It was almost midday when I descended downstairs the room was cl
His warmth engulfed me, the hem ending mid-thigh covering my upper body perfectly. I should be thanking him but I can't as he forced his clothes on me and I can't be thankful for his dominance."If you are done then I'll be leaving honey," I said as if sugar-coating the poison on my tongue and pulled myself away from him. I dashed out of the store without giving him a last look but what I didn't expect was for him to follow me silently. What's up with him? I looked at the sky, it seemed like floodgates in the sky have been opened and no one is there to close them back up, I covered my head and started sprinting towards my car completely ignoring his presence behind my back. I walked towards the parking and my eyes lit up seeing my Bentley, my eyes rose from the ground and came to a halt. It was parked at the same place where I left it but its tires were slashed open. I stood in shock looking at my car. It's my mother's car, it was like my baby, my closest thing, taking me away from
He dropped me at the exact place where my car was parked in the morning, I stepped out of the car and our eyes locked for the last time. There is something about the intensity he looks at me. I nodded my head and he simply stared at me, his eyes never leaving mine. I turned on my heels, the beautiful moon shone high in the sky like a queen on her throne, and the atmosphere reigned in calmness and quietness. The mansion that has been my home felt foreign, I saw two guards guarding the entrance and, I gracefully walked towards them. In silence declaring that none of them is capable of caging me. This mansion has seen blood more than rain, the screams of people will echo if you listen in silence, each wall has heard a murder story and if you dig you'll find corpses more than a graveyard can have and one day this mansion will witness one more murder of; the monster. "The boss wants to see you," I knew it was coming, I nodded my head and strode towards his office. I was on my way and I
I heard a shuffling sound and waited for the proposal as I knew if he has something which belongs to me, he won't easily hand it over to me, all the excitement I felt a minute ago vanished with the realisation what was coming, "As I kept something so dear to you and you know," He was stressing on the last part intentionally making me fill with rage. "I know what?" I asked gritting my teeth, anger stirred within me almost consuming me yet I managed to keep my tone devoid of emotions. "You should know nothing comes for free. So, it means you are going to pay me for the drive or a simple barter system," He answered in his sophisticated exotic tone. He was doing business. He has been worth millions of dollars yet he wants to create a hole in my pocket. I clenched my fists and asked, "How much?" Even though I knew I don't have enough money to stuff his mouth with but I can't let him have the upper hand. And I heard a deep sensual chuckle, did I make a joke? He continued, "Everything ca
While trekking my way inside my heart skipped a beat as I walked into the dark and damp ship, two heavy-hitter men forwarded with their knives in our direction. This is the beauty of war it never goes the way you plan. I have been taught to hold a knife, use guns and hand fight but it has always been behind the training gates this was real. One mistake and you'll be gone.With a determined stare, I pulled the trigger with a reverberating bang. The right one fell to his knees followed by the other in shock as he clutched at his bleeding chest, his knife clattering to the floor."Uncle, watch out your back," The obsession to win blinded me, we headed forward to the main room, men kept on coming and we took down all of them. Two minutes passed and I pulled the trigger to hit the burly one-eyed man, he had a huge body so, I thought of shooting him from the dark but I realised I ran out of bullets. "What's wrong?" Uncle asked"I don't have loaded guns," I answered pressing the comm of t
A thin layer of smoke masked the full moon, filling the sky with grey light. The wind was icy and withering. One second I was under him and the next second I was following him in confusion. "Who the fuck did it, find them if you care to live," It was that monster roaring, Now you will know how it feels when you want to do something but you can't. You feel helpless!And I saw Victor Amuso taking me towards a bike. He owns a bike! The thought that he came here riding this for me did something. And now I'm going to be his pillion. His huge monster-like bike in metallic black stood there with grace. I noticed two helmets there one which belonged to him and the second that seemed feministic. He had his mind made up that he'll not leave without me. With every passing day maybe I don't dislike him much. I stood there watching how smoothly he held one handle of his bike and swung his leg over the seat, his muscles flexing and my eyes stared at his muscles in appreciation, his hands went to
I cast him a skeptical look as his bullshit meter was ticking in the red zone, if he asked me to kiss then what was he up to now. I needed an explanation. He studied me with a predator’s unwavering attention. "What's wrong?" I asked my tone low, looking at him and biting my lower lip. "I don't kiss Miss Vitalio," He answered my face still in his hands. My eyes narrowed, and a vertical wrinkle between my eyebrows. My lips pursed slightly."But you," I stammered at the loss of words. "I know but that's what your problem is," He confessed removing his hands from my face and taking away his warmth with his hands. I took a step back balancing myself from the aftermath of shock. I looked at him, my gaze locked with his, "What's my problem?" His finger came up in the air and he pointed it in my direction. "This," He stepped forward and I took a step back. My heart thundered against my chest. And before I could move further from him he pulled me towards him like always, his hand circli
UNCLE CONNOR'S POVAs the heavy rain poured down outside, I stepped out of the helicopter onto the dimly lit landing pad, surrounded by the members of my underground Mafia family. They stood in a line, their heads bowed in a show of respect as I arrived. The rhythmic sound of the rain beating against the metal roof echoed the intensity of the moment."Welcome back, Uncle Connor," one of my trusted lieutenants said as he raised his head, his voice filled with reverence."Thank you," I replied, my gaze sweeping over the devoted faces of my men. "What do you have for me?"Two of my loyal bodyguards approached, one holding a briefcase. "We've gathered crucial information on Victor Amuso," one of them informed me. "He's been making moves against us, and we believe it's time to take him down."I nodded, a steely resolve forming in my heart. "Excellent work. Let's head to the manor and go through the details there."As I walked towards the black SUV that was waiting for us, my bodyguards fla
"Should I ask you one question,""Go ahead,""At times don't you feel like what you would have been if you were with your parents,""Or maybe how it feels to have your own parents?""I don't need anyone, not even my parents,""Everyone needs a parent,""It doesn't mean they have a choice to have them till the time they want to Olivia Vitalio,""Even if you deny it I know what's right there in your,""What's there, what you know about it? You think everyone needs a parents right?""Yes,""But what about them who never got a chance to even know who they actually were so for your information they don't need them because they never know how it feels to have them in real,""I...I,""Don't think you know everything when you haven't been at someone's place, let's see it this way, you think I can feel what you are going through?""Answer me?""I'll tell you, I can't Olivia Vitalio. I can simply try my level best to fucking understand you, but I can never feel your pain because it's yours. You
Victor's PovI watched her sitting by the window, her face clouded with sadness. I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I decided to do something to lift her spirits. "Hey, are you feeling any better now?" I asked gently, approaching her.She looked up at me and managed a weak smile. "I'm okay, just feeling a low.""Well, how about we do something to cheer you up? What would you like to have for dinner?" I inquired, hoping to bring some excitement into her eyes.She thought for a moment before replying, "You know what? Surprise me. Cook anything you'd like, and I'll enjoy it."I nodded, determined to make her feel better. "Alright, then. I'll whip up something delicious." Suddenly, I realized that I was still soaked from the rain outside. "Why don't you change into something comfortable while I go and take a quick shower? My clothes are all wet."She nodded and stood up, "Sure, that sounds like a plan."I hurried to the bedroom, picked out some dry nightclothes, and stepped into the
Olivia's PovStaring out of the window, I realised what's happening with me has become a chain as from where I see it, if a single thing goes wrong with me, I have started looking for him, it feels like if he is next to me everything is going to be okay and it's not a bad thing, it's the strength of love that if you have a partner who loves you to the moon and beyond that, you can blindly trust yourself with them.Love has the ability to bind two souls in such a way that even amidst life's uncertainties, you find a constant anchor in him.A gentle touch brought me back to the present. He placed his warm hand on mine, and I felt an immediate connection that pulled me out of my trance. Looking at him, I saw his familiar smile, which always had a way of easing my anxieties.He entwined his fingers with mine, and I could feel the comfort and assurance in his touch. "Hey," he said softly, his voice like a soothing melody. "You okay?"His simple question broke the dam of my thoughts, and I
Olivia's PovI stood in front of him, the weight of loneliness settling heavily upon my shoulders. It seemed as though the world around me had turned into a desolate, empty place. The air felt cold and still, as if even the breeze had abandoned me.Lost in my thoughts, I barely believed it was him. But then it felt like, as if a miracle had occurred, he materialized before me. Victor; the devil the one person who had the power to make me feel safe and loved. In that moment, it was as if the universe had conspired to bring him to my side.Without a second thought, I ran towards him, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and desperation. I threw myself into his waiting arms, seeking solace and reassurance. He held me tightly, as if he understood that if he loosened his grip, I would be left feeling utterly alone in everything that was happening around me.My emotions spiraled out of control, and I began to ramble, pouring out the pain that had been festering within me. "My father," I c
Victor's PovI sat in the plush leather seat of my sleek black car, my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. The engine roared to life as I navigated the dimly lit streets of the city, heading back to my penthouse. The weight of the night's events pressed heavily on my mind, and my thoughts were consumed by the woman I loved.Olivia had recently uncovered the truth about her mother's murder, a truth that shattered her perception of her own family. For years, she believed her father was the killer, living with the pain and anger of that false accusation. But now, she knew the real murderer was her own uncle. It was a shocking revelation that had sent her world spiraling into chaos.As I drove, images of her beautiful face filled my mind, her eyes haunted by years of torment and betrayal. I imagined her confronting her father, the man she had accused for so long, and confessing the truth. I could almost hear the anguish in her voice as she confronted him, demanding answers and seek
Olivia's PovI stood in the dimly lit room, tears streaming down my face, as I reached out for my dad's embrace. He stood just a few feet away, his back turned to me, seemingly distant despite our physical proximity. My heart ached with a mixture of regret and sadness as I struggled to find the right words to convey my deep remorse."Dad," I whispered, my voice trembling. "I'm so sorry... I'm sorry for ever thinking that you... that you killed Mom."Silence hung heavy in the air, amplifying the weight of my words. The room seemed to echo with my confession, and my dad's shoulders tensed at my admission. I could sense his internal struggle, the resentment simmering just beneath the surface."Why didn't you ever tell me what happened?" I continued, my voice wavering. "I never asked because I was scared to know the truth. But now... now I understand how much that hurt you. How much it hurt both of us."My dad's back remained turned, his face obscured from my view. It was as if he was fig
Olivia's PovI rested my head against the window pane while he started the car, the heat between us was a simple distraction from all the misery and tension I was currently having in my life. The closer we were getting to my house the more anxious I was growing about everything that how am I supposed to face my father and speak about things that took place in our past. "If you want I can come with you," I turned towards the person who spoke to me and saw the concern in his eyes. I knew he was tense about everything but I had made my decision that I was doing this alone."I know you want to be with me but I want to do it alone," at times we need to fight our own battles because that's your own story something that makes you, you. He nodded his head in understanding and in the next two minutes we were right in front of my mansion. My hands went to open the car door and his left hand held my right pressing the back of my hand he said in a calm tone, "I'm once call away from you, let
WARNING: NOT FOR VIRGIN EYESOlivia's Pov"You don't know what you have invited for yourself, don't blame me, if you fail to make it out of this car to your house," But who will tell him that at that point in time I wasn't rational enough to have any decisions, "are we going to waste our time chattering?" And I knew how to push his buttons. My fingers went to unbuckle his belt and before I could complete the task in my hand, he was already unhooking my bra and my upper garments were lying on the backseat. "The fact that you have to go back to your house in clothes is the only thing reprimanding me from stripping these clothes from your body."A smile almost touched my lips looking at his frustrated face and hearing him rambling."Let me help you," and next went my bra and my eyes locked into his, our eyes mirroring the intensity of desire for each other. His hands cupped my ass and it seemed as if he has been doing this for years. After all, I didn't even realise when he got rid o
