In the VIP room of the city clubhouse, Dominick Castillo sat on the green couch smoking his cigarette. The atmosphere of the VIP room didn't seem like that of a clubhouse, it was quieter than a usual club room would be. Dominick made it so. It was his clubhouse and his private meeting room. During the past, he used to have sluts come here to meet him, he brought in different women in this place. Not until he met Shantelle and he made the room their private room. Being there at the moment, he reminisced of those times that he was with her. He couldn't deny the fact that he still has some soft spot for her despite her betrayal. But his heart can never be for Shantelle again— as Leila already took over. Within a short while, the door opened and Shantelle walked inside to meet him. She used her hands to fan her face, dusting the smoke that covered her view. She knew Dominick to be a heavy smoker, but he smoked too much already. The room was barely ventilated, due to the strong security h
Renee entered inside the bedroom after receiving Dominick's permission. He met him drinking whiskey while he stood faced the window gazing outside. The night was cool and Dominick enjoyed the views outside his mansion. Sometimes, he loved watching the staffs from his window and inspecting all of their activities. "How long were you planning on keeping it away from me?" He questioned Renee as soon as he walked in. Renee instantly understood what he said. He swallowed deeply on his dried throat before proceeding the speak."I was planning on informing you that doctor Liam refused to leave. I wanted to force him out but he begged me so I thought that…." He paused halfway through his sentence. Renee realized that the more he explained, the more Dominick got angry. He never should've disobeyed him and allowed Liam to stay in their mansion. He regretted his actions and he fell on his knees immediately and he begged. "You thought what?" He asked Renee. Dominick moved from the window and wen
A pair of eyes sprang open all of a sudden, Liam's vision was still blurry as he looked around the room that he was in. Liam never thought that he would make it alive when Dominick shot at him. He instantly checked himself to see if he sustained any injury but he realized that he didn't. He had passed out from just a gunshot sound. Liam was so scared that Dominick would shoot him earlier. Now that he survived, he had to flee. Liam stood up from the bed quickly and he went towards the door. He wanted to leave so that Dominick wouldn't return to kill him. Maybe, he will succeed this time. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes met a pair of emerald eyes gazing at the door. Leila was just about to open up and enter when he rushed outside the room. "Doctor Liam. You're awake" Leila said. "Thank goodness" she exclaimed. Earlier, when she saw him unconscious on the floor, Leila assumed that he was dead. She didn't realize that he passed out from shock. Liam still wasn't sure that he wante
The bright sunlight flooded inside the room and it hit directly at Leila's face— making her wake up from her sleep. She stared directly at the plain white ceiling. Feeling exhausted, Leila could barely get up and she felt a throbbing headache so she placed her hand on her forehead for a bit. Before she could move further, Leila extended her touch to the other side of the bed, searching for Dominick who was nowhere to be found. Upon realizing that his side of the bed was empty, Leila jerked up and sat upright. She picked up her phone and checked what time it was because she noticed how bright the day had become. 10 a.m!. Leila panicked and she stood up immediately. She shoved her legs into the furry slippers on the floor and she rushed outside the room. Leila didn't bother to wash her face, all she wanted was to see Dominick that morning before he left. By the time she reached the living room, Liam informed her that Dominick had already left and Shantelle went out with him. Leila frown
"I.. I can explain" She quickly blurted out, frightened by what he might do to her. He was already staring at her in a deadly manner."How long do you plan on keeping it away from me?" He asked her. She hurriedly picked up the documents and scrolled through them, it had her signature on it. She wasn't able to come up with any lies to defend herself. "Please forgive me, I… he threatened me" she stuttered, pleading. Leila was so frightened as she recalled what Shantelle told her."You shouldn't betray Dominicks' trust in you. You know what he does to betrayers" She stared down at the documents she held and she realized her mistake. She had just betrayed him. Death is the penalty for betrayal. The words rang a bell in her head.She stared at Dominick for a while, she was expecting him to bring out his gun from the drawer and shoot at her but he did nothing. Instead, he poured himself another glass of whiskey and drank it in one gulp. "You've betrayed me, Lei. But I will forgive you j
Leila just finished eating the last piece of meal on her plate. It was her second meal for that day and it was almost evening time. She slowly stared at her mobile phone which continued to beep as a result of the phone calls and text messages she was receiving from her aunt. She finally picked it up on its last ring. Thankfully, Dominick wasn't anywhere in the mansion so she could pick up the call."What do you want?" Leila asked her aunt— knowing fully well what she wanted. "Don't tell me, you slut." Grace cursed out loud. Leila was frustrated, she tried to remain calm and speak with her. She knew how cunning Grace could be and she didn't want to implicate herself. "Like I already told you, I don't have much money on me" Leila stated. She breathed heavily on the phone, her anger got the better of her. "Let's meet at 6 p.m. give me any amount you have" Grace declared and ended the phone call hurriedly. Leila looked at the time on the phone. It was past 5pm Leila left the dining ro
LEILAI turned and stared at the angle where the voice came from. Even though I already recognized his voice, I needed to see him to be sure. "D… Dominick" I stuttered. I least expected him to be here, he was sitting a few seats away from where I stood. I almost fell down as I lost my balance from shock. What the hell is he doing here of all places? I questioned myself inwardly. Did he follow me here? I asked myself.I managed to lean on a chair to support muss as the bus continued to move. It suddenly felt hot inside the bus, especially now that I saw Dominick. He just sat there glaring at me with his dark eyes which hold so much questions. After staring for a while, Dominick stood and walked towards me. I didn't move, I waited for him to come to me. As soon as he reached where I stood, he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me close. I felt my heart beat faster in my chest— I swallowed deeply on my dried throat. I just couldn't made due with his presence which exuded his no
DOMINICKI forced my eyes open and I realized that it was morning. I was still in bed, battling with this throbbing headache that didn't allow me to Concentrate on what was going on within me. Soon, I tried to stand up and I noticed a pair of hands wrapped around my waist, gripping me tightly like a kid clutching onto his mother. Seeing the artificial purple fingernails, I could tell that it was Shantelle. A few strands of her platinum blonde hair were on my chest, while her head was inside the duvet. We were both naked in bed so I could depict what happened, but I still didn't want to believe it. How could I let myself down so easily and sleep with Shantelle? Fuck! I exclaimed angrily. I pulled myself from her and I stood up. I walked barefooted towards the window and I stared outside. It was still the early hours of the morning and the sun was barely out. The surroundings were still very dark. I turned towards my right and I noticed an empty bottle of whiskey and a glass near it. F

~ 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
