"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
The door of Dominick's bedroom flung Open and Leila emerged from inside. She looked sad, after waking up this early to visit him— only for she to find that his room was empty. She assumed that he had gone out for business, but the freshly made bed made her think otherwise. If he slept there the previous night, she would realize it. The maidens don't come to his room until 9 a.m. and it was barely 7. How come his bed was already made? Leila thought to herself as she left. As she walked towards the living room, her eyes darted to the view in front of her. She noticed Dominick entering the mansion. He walked through the living room while he approached where she was standing on the staircase.Dominick halted his steps, he only exchanged glances with her before he continued to walk.Leila was lost as he did that. She wanted to speak but she restrained herself from doing that. She watched his figure fade away in the hallway as he went towards the direction that she had just come out from
DOMINICK "I do not love you!" Her words rang a bell in my head, echoing continuously in the silent room. I glared at her, trying so hard to contain my anger and not to unleash on her. Not only did her words hurt one, they shattered me. I didn't say anything, I assumed that she just said that out of anger or she wanted me to stay away from her for a while. She could be angry at me. Who knows? I know I overreacted earlier and she is trying to pay me back but her words hurt me. I slowly let go of her arm and moved backwards. I didn't want to hurt her, anger was slowly consuming me."I thought we had something" I managed to speak breathlessly "This is all a mistake. From the very beginning, we never should've gotten together in the first place.." She stated. Her eyes were stern, she really meant her words. Leila had no feelings for me."I already…" "Enough!" I exclaimed. Cutting her off her words. "How dare you, Leila? How dare you think that you can use and dump me? After everythin
LEILAIt has been three days since I last saw Dominick. It isn't as if I didn't want to see him, but his guards won't let me. I stayed there in my room, counting the days, I felt like I was a fool for breaking him. He must be so angry, he didn't even want to see me. I couldn't tell the reason why I feel so agitated about this. Since it's what I've always wanted. For Dominick to stay off me and stop trying to bug into my business.I deeply regret it, everything. I never should've done that to him. No matter what, I have to see him today!. I jerked up from the bed awkwardly and I went towards my wardrobe. I picked up a sexy short blue gown, I couldn't tell why, but I was determined to get Dominick's attention back to myself. It felt weird that he didn't care about me anymore. I know I'm greedy, but I now regret chasing him off in the first place. I dressed up in a beautiful gown and I went ahead to put on make-up. A light makeover to ensure that my looks stand out. After that, I check
Leila woke up to the sound of noises and indistinct chatters. Music, smoke and the stench of alcohol lingering in the air. She tried to open her eyes, meeting a blurry vision. The atmosphere around her forced her to wake up and she realized that she was hanging up in the air of a stage, inside a golden cage. She was barely wearing any clothes, just a to-match lace panties and bra that barely covered her boobs. Uncomfortable, she didn't understand what was going on around her. How did she get there?The last thing she remembers was that she was arguing with Dominick Castillo and he hit behind her neck which made her pass out. As she tries to stand up, the cage lowers slowly. She heard the people cheering and laughing pleasurably to her current situation. Suddenly, she hears a loud roar and she looks below. "Why is there a fucking lion underneath the cage? Do they want to get her killed?" She asked rhetorically, shocked by it. Leila was furious, what was dominick planning, why did he d
