Leila checked the time and it was just past five. The auction would begin by 8 p.m.She had already devised an escape plan for tonight. She wanted to attend the auction and help Dominick with his mission at all cost. She also wanted to prove to him that she could do better than Shantelle. Leila already felt intimidated that Dominick picked Shantelle over her. Leila thought of a plan to get rid of the maids inside the room. She knew that one she could pass through them, going through the guards wouldn't be hard for her. Leila soon stood up to go to the bathroom and they followed her quickly. "where are you off to?" They asked, surrounding her.Leila looked at them oddly, but deep down, she knew her plans would work. As they followed her, Leila suddenly stumbled and fell. One of the maids wanted to go call a guard but Leila stopped her."I'll be fine. Just take me to the bathroom " she requested. The maidens quickly agreed and helped her to the bathroom as she requested. One of them de
The banquet hall in the hotel resort was decorated exquisitely in luxurious interiors. It was almost time for the event to start. Some guests took their various seats while some of them moved around the place, some were busy discussing with partners while some were getting familiar with other guests. Waiters served drinks to them, they were all in uniform and we're in accordance as they worked diligently. The auction hall was getting prepared and each item was placed on a small but nicely designed table— specifically made for each with the bidding price labels on them. As the activities were going on– Dominick soon entered the hall, he went on to greet some of his clients. Inspecting and making sure that they were settled. "Mr. Dominick Castillo," A middle aged man called Dominick from behind and he turned. Immediately Dominick recognized him— he asked his guards to give way for the man to pass through. His bodyguards followed him all throughout his movements— protecting him from ha
Leila had finished getting dressed when she wanted to go out and attend the event. She was stopped by the guards. Leila thought that Dominick wouldn't Continue her imprisonment but then, it was worse this time as there were more than three guards outside her door.Leila knew that she wouldn't be able to subdue so many bodyguards and she stayed back in and thought of a plan. She was frustrated and angry. She assumed that Shantelle must've started the mission already. Despite finding out her relationship with Dominick, Leila wouldn't give up her supposed job. She just couldn't. Instead, she was more determined to help him. She wanted to prove to him that— even when she's his sister, she can still do the job. Leila found it hard to accept the fact but there was so much evidence. He had seen and read his kid-sister's profile earlier, they were at the same age and Description. She also couldn't remember her family because they died when she was very young. Before her auntie took her in an
Leila was still frightened. Even though he had dropped his gun. Romeo suddenly seemed like a total psychopath to her. He smiled brightly for no reason and paced forth and back in the room. He seemed to be waiting on something. "What do you want from me?" She summoned the courage to ask him. Leila couldn't believe that he deceived her all these while. To think that she was about to trust him. Romeo dashed towards her and pulled her with him. He pushed her towards the dressing mirror— making Leila stare at her reflection and his. He was standing behind her and holding her hair tight. "Ahhh…. Please" Leila exclaimed to the pain she was feeling due to the forceful pull on her hair. It hurt her a lot, she couldn't do anything but scream. The more she struggled, the more her suffering increased. Leila had no choice but to obey and let him treat her as he liked. "What did I do to you? Shouldn't you be after Dominick?" She yelled. Leila's tongue still ran sharply. Romeo wasn't surprised.
The auction still continued and people kept bidding. However, the situation between the trio got intense. Dominick tried to approach Leila but she ended up drifting away from him. He couldn't understand why she acted that way despite everything. "$20 million" Romeo's voice came again as he made a bid on an item. He grabbed Leila's hand tight and stared at her. He noticed how she exchanged glances with Dominick several times. He knew that she was trying to communicate with him but his warnings were still embedded in her and she was scared to say Anything."What's wrong?" He asked her in a calm tone. Leila only shook her head in response— but her gaze riveted back to Dominick.Dominick on the other hand was infuriated and thought that Leila had betrayed him. If she wasn't his sister, he wouldn't shoot a bullet through her brains but then, he still hoped for an explanation. Dominick didn't expect that after everything he's done for her, she would betray him. He assumed that she was so cr
Leila looked at Dominick intensely, he noticed how she looked at him. As if she was trying to tell him something. But when he didn't pay attention, Leila realized that Dominick had his own plans. She waited and watched the movement in his face. It was only a matter of time before they started to hear another round of gunfire outside the hall again. Romeo laughed out hysterically, claiming that it was his men who were getting rid of Dominick's men and he was slowly taking over the place— but Leila noticed the calmness in Dominick's face, it made her realize that Romeo might be wrong."Get down," Romeo suddenly demanded. Dominick didn't obey and only stared at him coldly. Romeo pulled Leila close."If you do not obey me, I might just have your woman in your presence. What do you think?" He threatened. Romeo still assumed that Dominick liked Leila since she was his. He had seen how much he tried to protect her. she must be so important to him for that. Romeo forced Leila to look at him
"Leila" "Leila" "Leila, no!" Her name was being chanted Continuously. They watched as she fell on the floor After being shot. Leila's head spinned and her vision became blurry. She couldn't believe that she had just taken a shot for Dominick Castillo. Was she wrong for doing such? Or she had to since he was her brother? Leila was on the cold properly tiled marble floor, her dress and body was soaked with blood instantly and Leila was laying in the pool of her own blood. Before Dominick could make a move, Romeo already ran out of the hall."Get him!" Dominick declared. He finally reached where Leila was and he carried her on his body. "Lei.. Leila.. please don't.. don't go" Dominick pleaded to her. He began to beg her to stay with him. Leila glared at Dominick faintly, she could barely see him clearly as her eyes were heavy and closing already. She managed to raise her hand which was covered in blood up to his face. She touched his cheek and he held her hands. He held the hands of hi
It was around noon the next day, Leila was still unconscious even after receiving the blood she needed. Dominick was Inside the ward with her, he stayed there overnight and till that afternoon. Dominick barely had anything to eat— as he was so worried about her. Dominick has never been worried about anyone the way he was about Leila. What bothered him the most was the fact that she actually took the bullet for him. That made him believe that Leila didn't betray him as he thought, but she was actually trying to protect him from Romeo that day. Dominick looked at Leila, she looked pale and had gotten thin overnight. Hee wasn't used to seeing her this way and he wished that she would recover so he could break the news to her that they weren't siblings.About thirty minutes Later, a nurse walked inside the room. Dominick raised his head up to look at her, he was beginning to fall sleepy. Be hasn't slept since the previous night. His suit had dried blood on it and his face too was staine

~ Months Later ~LEILAJust like the first day I met him, Dominick has been a loving man over these past few months since we got married.Even though everything was taken away from him, I didn't expect him to bounce back quickly. And as he always said, you can't kill a Mafia.We've been married for almost six months and we are focusing on living as a happy family and raising our son. Dominick established a business for himself, he didn't sell or deal with illegal stuff anymore.We wouldn't want him to go to jail again. I also started my professional teaching classes for dancing. The last few months have been filled with several adventures for us.A former stripper and a former Mafia. I think this is just the best. The peaceful life I have so much yearned for.Dominick wouldn't arrive from work until later, and I am busy with getting the uniform for my students prepared.Lolita comes by sometimes to take Gerald to her house, she is living with doctor Liam and they are about to get marri
DOMINICKIt was morning and I had to wake up and join my cellmates to do our jail labors. I picked up my bucket and I headed out with Jack, it was our turn to clean the bathrooms today. "Gosh! What an awful smell…" Jack exclaimed as soon as I kicked the bathroom door open.He should've gotten used to it by now cause I already do. The smell would never change no matter what we do. Even though this bathroom is cleaned up daily, it would still be as if it hasn't been touched for months when we come. I didn't want to think that these people do it on purpose, but what do I say? We are almost ten thousand in this jail and we all get the need to use the bathroom sometime.I stepped into the bathroom, the pungent odor of urine hit directly at my nose and I jerked backwards a bit. Jack noticed and he immediately began to laugh at me.I frowned and turned to him. "What's funny?" I asked, the tone in my voice made him realize that I am being serious. So he stopped laughing at me. "Sorry.." h
~ Two Years Later ~DOMINICKIt's been two years of being in this place but I do not regret it. The only thing I regret is not being there with Leila when she birthed my son, I deeply anticipated watching her give birth to a mini me. I hurt Leila's feelings, I wouldn't have been here if I didn't plead guilty. Despite the evidence they had against me, I could've still won the case because of my lawyer's influence.I do not want to live that life anymore, I wanted to make a change. I've been a sinner for so long. Making Leila and everyone around me hurt.I've killed so many people, I killed Romeo's uncle. He was my friend, I never should've hurt him. I knew how much his uncle meant to him, I never should've done that.I've hurt Leila too, I killed her aunt and so many other people. I had to pay for my crimes. For all the crimes I've committed for all these years.Everyday for over two years, whenever Leila comes to see me with my son, I refuse because I do not want my boy to see me in
LEILAit's been two months since Dominick had been in the hospital, the court hearing has been ongoing even without his presence and I've been representing him on the case.Romeo demanded that it should still go on until Dominick wakes up to serve his sentence.I have just arrived from the court and I am experiencing nausea and dizziness from the pregnancy. It didn't stop me from going to see Dominick at the hospital.I asked Renee to take me to the hospital after I have eaten. We drove there and it only took an hour from the hotel we lodge.Renee and Shen Yi have been so supportive of me since Dominick wasn't around. Being pregnant and going for the court at the same time hasn't been easy for me as I've tried my best to cope.Lolita was barely available, she worked at the nurse at the hospital so she could watch over Dominick while I'm not there. And with doctor Liam as his doctor in charge.Apparently, Dominick helped him get back his license which was seized by his former hospital.
DOMINICKI am standing facing Romeo, my former best friend who had become my enemy. With a time bomb in my hand which might blow off in a few seconds, I was ready to fight him."I'm the one you want, Romeo. I'm here now, you can face me" I stated, relieving my breath.I took a peek at the time bomb, hoping that Romeo would extend the time. I might just use that as an opportunity to fight him and also escape before the extended time elapses.Romeo is glaring at me angrily, like he wanted to devour me.I noticed him bringing out a device and he pressed a button before throwing the device away.. I heard the beep from the bomb. As expected, he extended the time to fight me.Some of his men surrounded us, I knew I was no match for them. With my injured foot and my aching body, Romeo and his men would defeat me but it was still worth the try.Romeo brought out a dagger, while his men grabbed a hold of me. Before I could react, he sent a punch at my face, making me fall on the ground.His me
LEILAThe sound of my cries dominated the room as I noticed that the time on the bomb had reduced a lot, down to ten minutes.In ten minutes time I'll be blown into tiny bits. At this point, I didn't believe that Dominick would come here anymore.I screamed and cried for help, knowing fully well that my voice wouldn't be heard by any. I still wanted to try my luck.Maybe, if Romeo can hear me from the chip, he might take me into consideration.My heart pounded fastly in my chest as I feared that I would die soon. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and I allow it let loose.I cried hard until I felt like I was losing strength. I couldn't even touch my stomach or speak to my child who wouldn't be born to this world before its demise.I should've left this life the moment I was bought by Dominick. If I had listened to my instincts in the first place, I wouldn't be in this situation. The bomb continued to beep and I didn't yell for help anymore because it's pointless. There's no one
LEILAI didn't know what happened, I felt a sting on my neck. It was as if someone had injected me and I slept for an extra hour. I looked around where I was, it was dark and dusty.My legs were hurting as I noticed that I've been standing for a long time. "Where am I?" I asked myself rhetorically but I didn't expect to get a response."Welcome to your death… Leila Gonzales" I heard Romeo's voice speak. I tried to look around and search for him. I don't think he is inside the place with me.I noticed a chair and a recording chip on top of it. He must be speaking from a distance and using the chip to send the messages to me.I noticed that I was tied to a pole and the slow beeping noise on my chest. I looked down and I saw the time bomb tied to my body.."Help me!" I screamed out in fear, my body trembled like never before."Romeo.. please don't kill me! " I yelled.His laughter sounded and dominated the room, the chip became so loud. "Please.." I cried. I couldn't help as tears began
LEILAI jerked up at the sound of the door opening. Immediately, I realized that it wasn't only one man who entered the room.The aura which filled the room smelled of drugs and smoke. I waited for my nerves to be calm before I spoke. "Who is there?" I asked, I was frightened but I had to mask it with anger."I'm talking to you, cowards!" I yelled out angrily."Leave us" He requested."Ali.."" Romeo" I instantly corrected myself. His name wasn't something I could get used to. "What do you want from me?" I asked him but the room went into a deep silence when he didn't respond to me.My blindfold was still on, but I was sensitive enough to notice that he was sitting on the bed and he was moving his hands near my face. I could feel his movements through the air.I turned my face away to avoid his touch, but it didn't end well for me as he slapped me hard on my face. "Stay still, bitch" he yelled at me.Soon, Romeo pulled down the blindfold from my eyes and I was staring directly at him
