Leila stood in front of the mahogany door for a while, waiting for it to be opened from inside. While waiting, she rubbed her palms together nervously, Leila was so uncomfortable and scared. She couldn't believe that she was going to face Dante Castillo on her own. The same man who almost killed his son a while ago. If he could do such to his own son, what would he now do to her?. Leila thought that it was a bad idea for her to enter, she looked back, staring at Renee. Her face showed fear which was so unlike her. Renee knew her to be strong, Smart and resilient. He knew that she could handle anything. Leila riveted her gaze back to the door and soon, it was pushed open by a bodyguard. Leila stared into the dark room, hesitating to enter. She looked back and had Renee a last look before she walked into the study room. As soon as she entered, the guards went outside the room and they closed the door behind her. Leila felt her body turn cold after that. Her legs froze and she could bare
"Miss Gonzales" "Miss Gonzales' ' Renee's voice spoke calm but desperately as he tried to get Leila to wake up. Upon hearing his voice, Leila's eyes pushed open. She saw him staring at her awkwardly, Leila quickly recalled the events before she passed out. She wiped her mouth instantly and checked, there were still some blood stains on her face and dress. "What happened in there?" Renee asked her but Leila didn't speak. She didn't think that it was wise for her to tell him everything yet. She didn't dare to. She knew that if she told Renee that she had been poisoned by Dante Castillo, he would tell Dominick. Dominick wouldn't take it likely and try to fight Dante again. All that Leila wanted was to see Dominick immediately and confirm that he was fine. She didn't care about the poison in her body. If it will harm her or how long it will last in her body before it finally kills her off, all she wanted now was to see the love of her life. Leila looked around and realized that they wer
Leila monitored Dominick's health by touching his body and feeling his pulse. Renee observed as she did it, Leila seemed like a pro at nursing sick people. He wanted to say something before she turned at him with a long frown on her face. "His health isn't improving, we have to get him to the hospital" she said to him. "What? You know that is impossible for us to do right now. Dante Castillo won't spare us'' Renee blurted out.."I know" Leila answered as she stood up. She went towards the door and she opened it. Leila surveyed outside the room and ensured that no one was on sight. "We have to try and get him out. About Dante, I'll handle that. We can't afford to leave him in this state. I do not wish to lose him and I know you don't too" After that, Renee gave in and they arranged for Dominic to be taken to the hospital. Luckily for them, Dante was out of the mansion and he left with so many bodyguards. There were only a few of them around— and with a plan, they could pass through th
Renee returned with everything Leila asked for, including the food— only to meet that she wasn't at the waiting area anymore. He decided to ask a nurse who informed him that Dominick had been transferred to a ward and Leila was in there with him.He reached the ward and he met Leila sitting beside Dominick with her head resting upon the bed with an arm across his waist. Upon hearing his footsteps, Leila jerked and turned to him "you're back," she said in a calm tone. Leila was so tired and hungry. He moved near her and handed over the bag to her."Here are the things you asked for. And your food" he brought forward the second bag. Leila collected them quickly as she stood up."Thank you." She said, "I'll just use the bathroom" Leila excused herself. She walked sluggishly towards the bathroom. It has been a hell of twenty four hours for her. She thought that the day she would lose her virginity would be memorable and it was indeed. With a lot of crying and fright. What else could she a
Leila arrived at the hospital with Renee. When they got to the ward, as expected, Dominick was awake and a nurse was busy examining him. Dominick was sitting with his back resting on the plastic bed frame with his both hands straightened on both sides. A bandaid was wrapped around his head, Leila was surprised because there was no bandaid in his head before they left. Seeing him in one made her extremely worried. Dominick looked so stressed and the band aid made his face look pale. Dark circles appeared around his eyes, he had been unconscious and seriously sick for a whole day so she wouldn't blame him for looking that way. "Dominick" she called out his name calmly as she went to meet him. He didn't speak but stared at her as she approached him. Leila leaned and gave him a hug. She was so excited to see that he had . Leila was also tempted to kiss him but she didn't. "Leila" he called, calmly. She almost teared up when he called her name. Leila didn't realize how much she missed him.
LEILALeila was thrown into the dimly lit study room of Dante Castillo, she stood up instantly and dusted herself. Leila looked towards the direction he was in, and she went towards there. Without hesitating, she took her seat on the chair facing him."You didn't have to send your men to bring me. I could come on my own" she stated.Dante was busy reading some documents and he didn't pay attention to her. "Do you really not care about your son? He's still at the hospital. He even had surgery due to what you did to him. Do you not even care to ask?" She spoke, Leila was frustrated by his ignorance. She knew that he was severely heartless. She couldn't help but to address the issue. "You should learn not to raise your voice at me, miss Gonzales" Dante cautioned her. He spoke in an extremely low and composed tone. One would think that he could never hurt a fly. Leila hated his pretense. She wanted to be as far away as she could from him. "Why did you send it to me? What do you want?" She
The disco lights in the clubhouse blinked and reflected at all angles and people who were busy carrying out different activities. As Dominick entered the club, his presence was instantly noticed by Dante's men and they came to attend to him."Is Mr. Castillo expecting your presence?" One if the guards asked him. Dominick grinned briefly as he took a drink from one of the waiters and sipped. "He isn't. Kindly go and inform my father that I'm here to see him" he demanded. The guards exchanged glances between themselves before one of them went to pass the information to Dante. The casino was in a more secluded part of the club, most of the clubbers weren't aware of it. It was only opened to special guests like governors and ministers who ran illegal businesses with Dante. "Mr. Castillo is this way, sir" the guard who returned pointed. He escorted Dominick to the underground casino. When they got there, Dominick approached the table where Dante and his friends were on— playing games. Smo
"Who did this?" His loud voice resonated in her ears as he yelled out those words. His grip on her arms tightened, that was the length of his anger at the moment. Leila knew that if she said anything, Dominick would act reckless, so she tried her best to stay calm and not respond. "Answer me!" He demanded, pulling her closer to himself with a swift move. Leila only shook her head as she couldn't speak, she was unable to face his anger. She couldn't bring herself to lie to him or tell him the truth. Dominick noticed the frightened looks on her face so he decided to keep it calm and not to overreact. He breathed deeply before he finally asked."Did Dante do this to you?" He asked her all of a sudden. He watched her reactions when he mentioned Dante's name, he could already guess that it was him who touched her. His eyes surveyed her face— down to her neck and he realized that there were bruises on her back. Dominick instantly pulled down the arm of her dress, revealing a huge long sca

~ 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
