Kate took the food inside and thanked the maid while closing the door. Her hunger returned and so she sat on the bed to satisfy her growling stomach. Kate chewed on her food while absently calculating her future. She could not stop thinking about how he touched her leg under the table.
Was that a.....warning ?
For some reason her mind kept on telling her that Quisito was bad news. Sure, her father has met with Quisito before but this was the first time he has invited Quisito over for dinner. Kate hated the fact that Quisito was invited for dinner because it was also an invitation to stayover for the night; That was one of the ways in which men of mafia made their bonds stronger.
Kate was rinsing her mouth when she heard a knock on her door.
“In a minute” Kate informed the person on the other side of the door as she dried her hands. Kate tensed before opening the door but her father’s voice calmed her nerves.
“Don Quisito will be staying in the room next to yours” her father said as soon as she opened the door
Noooooooooooooooo!
Her heart sank.
“But I thought we gave the top floor to the guests.....” Kate asked, her voice more like pleading.
“Quisito is like family. We have been doing business together for a long time. That room belongs to him” her father explained.
“Thanks for the dinner, Winston” Quisito’s voice boomed across the hallway as he walked towards them.
“You are saying thankyou for a dinner? I’m indebt to you my whole life” Winston raised his hands in the air. “Welcome to your room Quisito” her father guided him into the room but instead of looking at the room, he looked at Kate, who was trying very hard not to melt every time he was near her.
“Lena...make yourself comfortable. I’ll join you soon” Lena complied Quisito as the maids carried their luggage behind them. Her father also left, leaving Quisito and Kate behind.
“So we meet again.....Princess” Quisito cooed, adding a little rasp to the last word. Kate gulped as she looked up to meet his cold blue eyes, staring at her with intense scrutiny.
“Yeah...hi. I-I-it’s been a long t-time..” Kate stuttered, fear evident in her voice.
“So what’s up with your studies?” he asked, as if trying to have a normal conversation.
“I-I’m being taught online....since the world outside is dangerous for me” she replied in a sad voice.
Kate had a tragic life and her situation was no different than a bird stuck in a cage. She used to go to school until an attack happened. It was an attempt to kidnap her but many innocent lives were lost. Ever since that day, she took online classes.
“Demons of this world will always have eyes on angels like you. So it’s safer when you are inside” Quisito’s gaze burned into her, as if he was the demon.
“I-I should go. It’s bedtime; Good night” Kate said, while skillfully slipping inside her room through the tiny gap between the door and the wall and slamming it close on his face. She let out a sigh of relief having got out of the talk.
As she prepared the bed Kate instructed herself to ignore the sounds next door if at all Quisito and Lena engages in some sort of sexual act. This was one of the main reasons her father allotted top floor to the guests. Most of the brought along more than two women and the sounds that escaped from their rooms at night were inappropriate for her ears. Kate expected the same from Quisito but after a formal conversation, everything went silent next door.
They must be tired from travelling – Kate thought to herself. After studying for a half an hour, she shut down the lights and drifted off to sleep.
The next day morning she was dreading to see Quisito but was relieved to know that he had left with Lena to the hospital.“It’s time for defense training, you are already 15 minutes late” one of her father’s men announced, making Kate groan in frustration. She loved the idea of being the healthy but just like most of the people, she hated to work for it.Although this was one of the important things that kept her active inside the mansion, the idea of having 100 bodyguards and having to learn self defense despite the fact that she rarely went out puzzled her. She learned the mechanism of weapons, granites and a lot of other things in there. Just because she was capable of handling a gun, she was allowed to keep one in her night stand, closer to the bed.Even though she was comfortable in using gun, the device became a nightmare after the incident that involved Quisito. It occurred 3 years ago and now she was 19 but the memory of that night has always bathed her in horror.Kate was cov
His next words turned her world upside down.“If you sleep with me”.“I’m not your prostitute and you already have a girlfriend” she cried out in horror, not exactly knowing how she managed to find her voice after he said those words.“Lena is not my girlfriend. She is one of my close friend’s wife who is under my protection until her husband wraps up his business and comes here tomorrow. Yesterday she slept on the bed and I on the couch. I would have asked for separate rooms but I wanted to be close to her in order to keep an eye out for any possible danger to her life.”While Kate was processing the information, he continued “I’ll never treat you like a prostitute. You are more precious than the rarest gems in this universe”. She should have been flattered by his admission but it only made her more terrified than ever.“You are way older than me...” she put up another wall, trying to win the battle of wits.“I’ll admit that I am a decade older than you...but age is only a number...
The past ( 3 years ago)It was her 16th birthday and was attended by mafia leaders from across the world. Clad in a floor length blue gown, she was the center of attention and everyone at the party wanted a dance with her. And so did Richard, her father’s most trusted partner. Quisito was also present at the event with his girlfriend by his side.When it was Richard’s turn, she innocently began dancing with him, unaware of his intentions. Richard’s hands moved towards her lower back, pulling her closer than what was considered as comfortable for her. Her eyes scanned the room for her father but had no luck. The lighting was dim and because of that, nobody saw her distress. Richard’s predatory eyes roamed across her body, his alcoholic breath twisting her insides. She tried to push him away gently at first but he wouldn’t budge. Adding a little more strength, she managed to pry herself out of his grip.“Excuse me” she left Richard and went into the restroom with bile rising up to her t
PresentKate’s sleep was interrupted by her father’s phone call, which she attended by rolling over in bed.“Hello”“Kate...listen, I am calling to inform you that I won’t be coming home for a few days” her father said, making a knot to twist in her stomach.“But dad...Quisito is here” she tried to reason, hoping that her father wouldn’t leave her alone with the man she feared.“Yes, about that...remember how you have been complaining to me about not being able to leave the mansion?”“Yeah....” she couldn’t help but sound confused. For the past 6 months she has been pestering her dad non stop about how much she missed the world outside the mansion but what did Quisito have to do with any of that?“Well... real the reason I avoided taking you out was due to the security issues but Quisito is far more powerful than me and is capable of shielding you from any possible harm. So I have asked him to take you out” her father explained calmly but her heart was ready to burst out of her chest.
He may be relentless but she was equally adamant. She paced inside her room, trying to think of a way to break the friendship between her father and Quisito. The sound of heavy footsteps in the hallway followed by the furious unlock of the door to the next room indicated that Quisito was home; But something seemed off with him. She listened to his frustrated mutterings from the other room but eventually they died out. Was something wrong? She slowly walked out of her room and saw that the door to Quisito’s room was slightly open. After double checking the hallway, she poked her head inside his room and heard the shower running. The door to the bathroom was also not locked. Right then, a wicked plan bloomed in her mind. She knew it was risky but she had to do it, if she wanted to preserve her chastity for her prince charming. After fetching her phone from her bed, she tip-toed back to his room. She was careful not to step on his discarded cloths that were stained with blood. She kn
Kate managed to walk back into her room with her phone, her body soaking wet, leaving a trail of water behind. Within moments she dried herself and changed into a new outfit. And by that time, her heart was burning with anger.How could he do this to me?Her anger burst into flames when she thought about the guy in her dreams. He had introduced himself as Chris and always assured her that he would come for her. As dumb and senseless as it may sound, Kate wanted Chris to be her first kiss.Most of her notebook backs have the scribbling ‘CHRIS WEDS KATELYN’. She did all of that because she was sure that in real life, one day, he would come for her. Chris was always patient with her, even made her laugh every now and then. He was one thing that made her feel alive every day, despite the circumstances.She desperately wanted to get back at Quisito for stealing her first kiss, for marking her like one would brand cattle.Evening part of the day slid in. People, animals and birds were getti
Along with paralyzing fear, Kate felt anger because Quisito and his men were supposed to be in charge of the mansion. If they were doing a good job, then no one would be in her room at such an hour. Now it looks like she should fight all by herself. Under the blanket, she curled her fingers into a fist and prepared her body for an attack. When she heard the tiniest brush of the intruder’s body against the side of her bed, she knew it was time. Kate turned abruptly and fired her fist, aiming for the person’s face. She was pretty sure about her aim but the person caught her feeble fist in midair. Her palm felt like a baby’s fist trapped in the intruder’s hand. This caused her to use the next and probably the last escape plan – Scream for help! She opened her mouth to scream but the person quickly reached over and placed a big hand on her mouth. “Shhh.....Kate, it’s me....Quisito” the person whispered in the dark and her eyes widened. Slowly her eyesight adjusted to the darkness a
Kate rolled around in her bed in the morning as the sunrays scattered across her face through the window. Her brain began functioning after a cloud of confusion and with trepidation, she turned to check the bed for him. She let out a sigh of relief when she found herself alone. Other side of the bed was cold and she assumed that he may have got up an hour ago.Does that man ever sleep? She couldn’t help but wonder. Her face became a darker shade of red when she rubbed off the sleep from her eyes and thought of what happened between them last night. She gently probed her lips that were trapped in his mouth mere hours ago. Her body tightened as she recalled the rest of his deeds.She casually glanced around to look at the clock and cursed because her online classes were about to begin in a few minutes. She rushed into the bathroom without making her bed. After brushing her teeth, she washed her face and rearranged her hair but also desperately wanted to wash away Quisito’s touch from h
Marcus was on tenterhooks when he received a call from one of his men that said that Kate had called their family doctor because she had felt some discomfort. He immediately ran out of his office and drove to the house. What worried him the most was the fact that she called the doctor without informing him. She had never done anything like that before. His fingers strummed on the steering wheel as he waited for the green signal, while his mind was calculating what could have gone wrong with her. Her mother had cancer and even though the disease wasn’t hereditary, the thought of losing Kate just broke his heart. He will die if anything happens to her. Without her, he was nothing. He reached home in record time and ran out of the car after parking it on the side walk. He was desperate to see her. Marcus didn’t even return the greetings of his men when he hastily made his way to their room. He rammed open the door with full force and it was a miracle that it didn’t unhinge from the
FATED TO THE MYSTERIOUS ALPHA (18+) A lovely hello to all my readers. Hope you have enjoyed the story of Don and Kate. I'd like to take up a little time of your's to give you a glimpse of the new book that will be released soon. PROLOGUE: “W-why are you looking a me like that?” My voice trembled as I took a tentative step backward. My poor heart beat faster when he moved towards me, his eyes glowering like I’ve never seen before. Tiny hairs on the back of my neck pricked in awareness as he scanned me from head to toe, as though he was undressing me with his dark grey orbs. “What happened to you?” My question came out like nothing more than a mere whisper, but other than the predatory expression on his face, he spared nothing. Why wouldn’t he talk to me? Was it because of what happened between us yesterday? I would have asked him if I wasn’t too scared. He had never once given me a reason to be afraid of him before, but now I was terrified of this man. Whimpering in fear, I slo
Marcus woke up in the morning way earlier than Kate and began clearing the blinds on the windows. She cursed under her breath and pulled the blanket above her head when the bright yellow sunlight fell on her face.“Wake up sleepy head, It’s graduation day...” he said and walked over to her. He tried to take away her blanket, but she wouldn’t let go.It was kind of his fault that she was still sleeping. The previous day, Kate didn’t have to go to college and was bored out of her mind at the mansion. So, she did online shopping and bought some normal clothes and lingerie. The clothes arrived at her place within half an hour and she tried on all of them. She had never worn lingerie before and when she tried that one on, a naughty idea lit up her mind.She took pictures of herself wearing them in the sexiest poses and send them to her husband. Marcus was hosting a meeting when he received a set of ‘hot’ notifications. He regretted his decision to open the messages because the moment his e
2 Weeks later...It was her first day of going to college and Kate was so excited that she barely slept the previous night.After returning from the lake house, she texted her friend Emily about going to college and both the girls were super excited to share a classroom space. It was like a dream come true for those long-distance friends.Kate had packed her bag the previous day itself and now, she was getting dressed along with Marcus, who would drop her off at the college.“Marcus...”“Yes, Honey?”“What if some boy comes up and talks to me?” she asked, hoping to get a rise out of her husband because she knew how much he hated when she talked to other men. And now that she was going to be surrounded by teenagers, he should be furious. But his answer was calm.“Then you talk back to them. That is how you socialize” he said monotonously while buttoning up his suit. He was getting ready for the office. After leaving her at the college at the guard of his loyal men, he would go to work.
Kate moaned when he captured her arms and held it overhead while his mouth nibbled on her neck. Warm wetness drenched her sex when she felt his arousal nudging her inner thigh.“Please....ohhhh” she whimpered when his mouth closed around her pebbled nipples and sucked. She didn’t even know what she was pleading him for. She did feel tiny and helpless under him, but she was ready to give him everything that he wanted to take from her.“Marcus?” She moaned out this name when she felt his lips smooching on the underside of her bosoms. But he knew that she wasn’t just moaning out his name with pleasure. She sounded like she wanted to ask something.Pausing his actions, he looked up at her face.“What?...” he asked, his voice coming out in the hoarse tone, almost harsh enough to scare her.“C...Can I... t..touch you?” Kate asked hesitantly because she doubted that he would never allow her to do it.“Of course, baby... you don’t have to even ask” he said and let go of her capture wrist and l
“Hey wifey, wake up...” Marcus said while nudging against her cheek with his nose. He was hovering on top of her sleeping form, his weight balanced on the arms placed on either side of her body.“Noooo... I wanna sleep... go away...” Kate whined and snuggled her face deeper into the pillow.“It’s time for the surprise... come on, get up...” he husked again while nuzzling the crook of her neck.When she made no move to get up, he peeled away her blanket and pepper kissed all over her face, purposefully grazing his beard on her skin.“Stop...stop it! I’m getting up!” she squealed while chuckling at the ticklish feel of his face hair.He got off from above her, allowing her to sit up on the mattress.“What time is it?” Kate asked groggily as she rubbed her eyes, a yawn escaping past her lips.“It’s one in the morning” he said and she looked outside to find the sky still dark.“Get ready honey, we are going somewhere” he said eagerly while getting off the bed.“Hold on... I need to pee” s
(Fuse a slow music in your ears before reading. You'll enjoy it ;)Katelyn almost didn’t recognize the bride who stared back at her from the mirror. She was going to be his in a few minutes and no force in this world would be able to stop it. She wore a floor length satin white gown that completely covered her feet. The veil she wore on her head was long enough to drag behind her. Her hair had been pulled up into a donut bun fashion, with two tendrils of hair suspended from the side of the hairline. The makeup was simple – A touch of blush with cherry red lip gloss.She wore blue diamond earrings and a small emerald pendant around her neck to match with the engagement ring he gave her.Her heart thumped wildly against her ribcage as she stood behind the small room’s curtain that separated her from the inside of the church. It was a ventilated room, but still she felt mildly claustrophobic because of the tension that coursed through her veins. She was beyond happy, but she also wished t
The next day itself, Quisito had his men bring over her clothes because he decided that Kate would stay with him. He would have given his clothes, but as much as he loved seeing her in them, he absolutely hated the idea of other people looking at what belongs only to his eyes, because most of his T shirts barely reached till her knees and the loose neckline betrayed a lot of her cleavage whenever she bend down to pick something.The pain they gave each other in the past slowly began to fade away as they competed with each other to show who loved who more. She clung to him 24/7, only letting him out of her sight when she visited her father twice a day.Kate dressed his wounds and fed him with her own hands, and they always shared one plate of food. One day morning, she decided to cook something for him and stepped into the kitchen. She had never cooked in her entire life and ended up setting the whole kitchen on fire, but fortunately, no one was harmed. Quisito just laughed it off and h
(Past) A month ago...“Quisito.... thank you for coming to meet me on such a short notice” Winston said from behind his table, when he saw the Don entering his office room.“No need to thank me sir; I’m always happy to be at your service” Quisito said with a polite smile, before taking a seat across from Winston.“Marcus... I... I called you today to ask for a very important favor...” Winston said, as he shifted uneasily in his office chair and gripped the armrest. His voice was strained a bit, like he never wanted to ask for the favor that was in his mind.“Of course, Winston, anything for you!” Quisito said as he leaned forward and placed his joined hands on the table. Even Quisito could see the palpable tension on the old man’s face.“Here is the thing” Winston said after taking a shaky breath “I miss my old Kate. I miss her smile, I miss her playfulness, I miss her enthusiasm and her little pouting face full of stubbornness. After her memory treatment, I tried to forge back that s
