KAYLA

I woke up with a start, rubbing my eyes to clear my vision. Looking around the room, I saw that the girls were back and sleeping. I couldn’t recall when they had returned from the club or how I had fallen asleep, except that I had spent a lot of time trying to get more information from Issa. However, she refused to talk.

I remembered that I tried to keep her awake so she could continue talking, but she was too drunk to do so. She kept mumbling incomprehensible things that were not important.

Frustrated, I ran my hand through my hair. At least I now knew that she was part of the mafia or at least had a close relationship with them, and I decided that I would keep an eye on her and perhaps try to get some information from her, although I doubted, she would say anything more since the only reason she talked in the first place was because she was drunk.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I also decided to order breakfast and some hangover

    KAYLAThe short break was over, and we were back at work Wednesday night. I didn’t see Ricardo again till we left the hotel and honestly, I was happy I didn’t. I wouldn’t have known how to stop the hatred that would have been on my expression when I saw him.I had taken the time I didn’t see him to pull myself together and now I was looking forward to seeing him soon. I needed to get this over with so I could go back home. I just had to look for a way to meet him and spend more time with him alone.“Girl, I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already. I wouldn’t mind spending one more week in those sheets. It was amazing to be fucked into something soft for once” Diamond whined with a purse of her red lips.“Babygirl, that’s too much info” Ivory exclaimed with wide eyes. “and stop acting like you don’t got a nice bed at home”“Let me be and take yo grumpy ass somewhere else” Diamond sassily replied with a roll of her eyes and went back to applying her makeup.As usual, Issa was the first to

    RICARDO“Boss?” My driver for the night, Antonio called, snapping me out of my thoughts.“Do you need me to get the manager?” he asked, meeting my gaze through the mirror.I sighed and took a drag of the cigarette between my fingers before dragging my eyes out of the window and towards the club.The driver cleared his throat awkwardly, the same feeling I felt as I watched. For what exactly?Her.I didn’t even know what I was doing here or when I gave the order to be driven here. The car was already parked behind the club when I realized what I had done, and it was too late.Now, I was struggling with whether to go in and demand to see her or go back to the house. She had me going crazy and I had no control over the yearning I felt to see her dance for me again.It was crazy how I was letting her cloud my thoughts. It was easier to push her to the back of my mind after the first visit but after the recent one, those blue eyes and hair, the colour of flames, kept intruding into my thoug

    KAYLAMy head hurts.That was the first thing that registered as I blinked awake. Then other things registered. First, I was on the floor, the air smelled strange, and I could see gates in front of me through my hazy vision.This little information had me sitting up straight faster than lightning. This was not my home; I didn’t remember going home after work. I recalled stepping out of the club and confronting those drunk men, but after that, nothing else registered.I rubbed my eyes harshly to clear my vision and fear gripped me when I looked around and saw myself in a holding cell. This was not good. Could I have been figured out already? Did Issa say something to her supposed brother?My breathing picked up as I began to panic. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I scrambled to my feet and ran towards the locked gate of the holding cell.“Let me out” I screamed “Someone please help me. Let me out, please” I yelled, as tears streamed down my face.I may be exaggerating the whole

    KAYLAI don’t know how long I have been held here but I was sure it’s been days or maybe a week. No one had approached me again or said anything to me since the first day.The only person who came into the cell was a man who dropped off the food and water before he disappeared again. And there was the woman who came to take me to the bathroom about three times a day.I wasn’t stupid to try and fight her off to escape when I didn’t know the layout of where I was, how big it was and how many guards there were guarding the place.The Secret Service would already know that something was off since they hadn’t heard from me but they wouldn’t be stupid to come looking immediately. They would wait for another week or two to give me time to sort out my mess and if they don’t hear from me then, they would send someone to look.The only thing I had done consistently was ask the man who brought me food where I was, and who they were and beg for them to let me go. I had to keep pretending that I d

    RICARDOI sat in the monitoring room and watched her. It’s been two days since Enzo questioned her and twelve since I’ve had her.I’ve spent every day watching her. There was something about her that made me unable to stay away even though I knew she could be an enemy I would need to get rid off as soon as I found something concrete.“What should we do? We can’t keep her locked in here forever. The people at the club are asking questions but I told Diego to tell them she went on an assignment for him” Luca said from his position at the door.“We can’t just let her go. There is something about that bitch that ticks me off. I swear she is acting” Enzo groaned, and I glared at him for his choice of words.“Watch your mouth, Enzo. Don’t call her a bitch again” I warned with a low voice.“Don’t tell me you still have that little attraction still going on, Boss? That girl could be the enemy” Enzo exclaimed with wide eyes and I leaned back in my seat without giving him an answer and continue

    KAYLAI stayed curled on the floor, my desperation and frustration growing with every minute. I was helpless and it was the one thing I despised more than anything.The rattling of the lock of my cell had me snapping up and sighing in relief when the person who stepped into the cell wasn’t Enzo but Luca Matteo.“Are you okay?” He asked with a gentle smile as he stood in front of me.“How can I be okay when I am locked up?” I snapped but my harsh tone did not cause the smile on his face to waver.“I understand but you also need to understand where we are coming from.” He explained sympathetically. “You need to come with me.”He wasn’t asking so I got up and followed him without another word. It was useless to fight against him or argue. I just had to follow along with whatever they wanted while trying to make sure I never prove their suspicions right.I didn’t take my eyes off the back of his head as we passed hallways that led to wherever he was taking me. The place was huge. Why was

    AUTHOR’S POVMiro clenched his fists tightly in his palm from where he was seated on his desk as he listened to the other coworkers talk shit about Kayla. He knew how heartbroken she would be if she heard everything they were saying about her.Kayla had always been fragile even though she put up a confident front that she could never maintain in front of her father…not her father, the man who claimed to be her father.Miro hated how they talked about her as if she didn’t belong there when she was better than most of them. He hated how she had let every word from their nasty mouth make her feel lesser each day.“I bet she isn’t going to last. It’s been months and she hasn’t even managed to get a single lead. What the fuck are we supposed to do info about an arms deal? Will that get those vermin arrested?” Someone sneered, and Miro wouldn’t sit still again.“You better watch your mouth, or I’ll watch it for you” He snapped, glaring at the little group of people that huddled close to eac

    KAYLAMy entire body felt heavy as I opened my eyes. I’ve been sore for a few days because of the hard floors I had been forced to sleep on and I could feel the impending sickness looming over my head.Wait…I sat up straight, looking around my environment. I was back home.I didn’t remember how I got home. The past week was so blurry, it felt like it never happened but the aching of my body and the pounding in my head said otherwise.The last thing I remembered was the interrogation room. I could still feel the anger in my blood when I thought of it.I also hated that I was getting knocked out more often than I liked, and I was getting to places without knowing how I got there.First thing I needed was some aspirin and a glass of water, so I climbed down the old bed in the bedroom and went in search of the bottle of aspirin in the bathroom cupboards.I took the drugs and took a good look at the apartment for the first time since I woke up.

    KAYLAFive years later Liliana barged in with Nico following her behind. She was always so extra. “ Slow down, you're going to fall at the rate you're going,” I said to her. “ Lio! I've missed you,” she hugged me dramatically. “ We met like a month ago, Lily,” I reminded her. “ Even though,” she was persistent. “ I don't think I can live without you. What if we live together?” She suggested. “ You're married, Lily,” I pursed my lips. “ We can still live in the same house,” she insisted. “ You keep forgetting that you're married and you have a child,” I have her a flick on the head. “ Nico, do you need a break perhaps?” Dealing with Liliana must be too much for him. “ Apparently, I signed up for this,” he sighed as he rocked Arianna, their four-year old daughter. She looked like Nico. “ Is she still asleep?” I lowered my tone. “ Yes. She'll be sad if she can't see you today, she was antici

    KAYLATwo days later Contrary to how I thought I would feel, I didn't feel hollow or empty. I would be lying to say I wasn't sad but I also felt good that I had ended things with him. Our relationship never had a solid foundation. “ Can't believe it started out toxic and ended toxic,” I mumbled. “ What are you going on about, rambling to yourself?” Liliana said. I turned around to find her leaning against my door post. “ You startled me for a second,” I held on to my chest. “ You really should learn how to knock,” I frowned. She really had startled me. “ Yeah, yeah,” she rolled her eyes, not taking my words seriously. “ Did you want to tell me something?” I asked as she sat down on my bed. “ Yes and no,” she shrugged. “ Huh?” “ Don't think too much about your break-up with Ricardo. It was the right decision,” she said. “ Thanks,” I smiled warmly. “ I also wanted to let you in on a secret,” she leaned clos

    KAYLAI tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The moment Gian had stepped out of the room, I was not able to stop myself from breaking down again.I was such a weakling. I curled into myself as I cried my heart out while being mad about myself that I couldn’t stop crying and my heart wouldn’t stop hurting.I sniffled quietly, hours or probably after minutes. It seemed my eyes had dried off and there were no longer tears for me to shed.“I hate you, Ricardo” I muttered to myself as I wiped the tears that were drying on my cheeks. My sobs had turned into whimpers without tears.“How did I get here? Was everything all for nothing?” I asked myself as I turned to my back and stared at the ceiling while my heart and head wondered where it had all gone wrong.How the hell did I fall this deep from my first mission? Love was such a bastard. I was so stupid for falling for Ricardo and thinking I had his heart after all this time.Ricardo was a hardened criminal who thought of only the fami

    GIANI unlocked the door and we both went into my apartment. My legs carried me to the switch and I turned on the lights and walked in. “Do you want anything to drink?” I turned to Kayla who was still lingering by the door. She opened her mouth and closed it a few times, hesitation present in her eyes but she finally made up her mind and gave a slight nod.“Come on, stop lingering like a stranger” I told her, attempting to lighten the mood but it didn’t work.She walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch while I walked into the kitchen to drink water.I may not be as drunk as I was as a result of having to go and pick her up but I was still tipsy and Kayla’s demeanor told me that I needed to be sober in case she needed me.I reached for the orange juice in the fridge because I didn’t think it is was right to give her alcohol even though she looked like she needed one.I poured the juice into a glass cup for the both of us before going back to her in the room where sh

    GIANThe high-end club I loved to visit was known for its insane parties just like I love it. I knew I was drunk but I was still aware of my surroundings. Ladies swarmed me like bees and I wasn't one to complain about the attention as they took turns to grind their bodies against mine.The music was loud and I was certain I was going to have a headache tomorrow but who cares? all I wanted was to have fun right now.I leaned against the bar with a smirk on my face as the girls tried to get my solo attention. “Oh Gian, you're so hot” the blonde ladies dressed as provocative highschool girls kept fawning over me as they gave me more and more shots of alcohol. These girls were easy and worse still, some even came with their boyfriends! What a sad world. I had gotten into a few fights earlier tonight because of the boyfriends coming to talk smack at me for taking their girls. Like bro, how's that my fault? “Tell me something I don't know, ladies” I said with a smirk as I took another s

    KAYLAIt was raining heavily as I drove my black car down the road. I was trying my best not to show any emotions but it was hard. I found myself unable to muster any emotions as I stared blankly at the windshield drenched in water with the wipers swinging from side to side as they attempted to clean it. Where was I even going? I asked myself but I couldn't come up with any answer. I could only drive while occasionally staring at the few cars that traveled alongside me on the dark and wet road.“F*ck you, Ricardo! F*ck you!” I cussed in mutters, trying not to let my rage get the best of me. I wanted my mind to be blank but I couldn't help myself.I was annoyed, pissed, enraged, angered….ahhhh! There wasn't any word in my freaking vocabulary to accurately describe how I felt. We were engaged for Christ’s sake. Yeah, maybe I wasn't the best partner but I did my best, didn't I? I turned my back on the government because of this man and he just casually trampled on my feelings and sa

    KAYLA We talked about random things from my siblings to his siblings. He especially went on and on about his little sister, Lexi. I hadn't seen her but I knew she'd be adorable. The food showed up, a colorful spread of hot delicacies presented with style. Every dish was well seasoned and my previous distrust quickly faded. “ I really love the food,” I savored every moment of each bite. “ I'm glad you're enjoying it,” he was satisfied by my reaction. The atmosphere became more laid back as the minutes went by, as we laughed and enjoyed our dinner. By the time dessert arrived – dumplings or what they originally call Jiaozi – my initial apprehension had completely vanished. I found myself genuinely enjoying every bit of the restaurant. As we sat there, savoring the sweetness of the dessert, a comfortable silence fell on us. Axel leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on me. Looking up from my food, our eyes met and I couldn't bring myself to loo

    KAYLA The motorcycle ride through the busy city streets was thrilling, giving me a brief escape from my worries. Axel parked the bike in front of a cozy restaurant on a quiet side street, bringing me a sense of relief. I had secretly been anxious about going to a fancy, high-end restaurant, fearing the expensive menu, unfamiliar rules, and possible social mistakes. “ Sometimes, I forget that I'm rich,” I sighed. Stepping off the motorcycle, I took a deep breath of the warm evening air scented with jasmine and a spicy aroma. It was a Chinese restaurant. " Ready for a surprise?" Axel asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief.I couldn't help but smile back. "Always," I replied, my apprehension replaced by a sliver of curiosity.He took my hand and led me around the back of the restaurant. My jaw dropped open in surprise. A hidden fake oasis unfolded before me.The backyard of the restaurant had been transformed into a breathtaking scene. Lotus lights sparkled on

    KAYLA I reappeared into the living room where we all were. I was all dressed up for the day. “ How do I look?” I asked, wanting to know their opinion. “ Great as expected but aren't you too concerned about your looks for ‘ just an outing ’ with a friend?” Renato bounced his brows. “ What would you know about girls?” I scoffed. “ We bother about things like this no matter who we're meeting,” I found a way to justify my actions. “ So why don't you want us to tell Ricardo or anyone else about your whereabouts?” Renzo probed. “ And why were you blushing and playing hard-to-get over the phone?” Now, they were just exaggerating. “ By the way, we're not against it. We're totally in support so there's no need to worry about such trivial things,” Renzo have me a thumbs up. A playful smile tugged at the corner of my lips despite my flustered state. "Don't tease," I mumbled, shoving a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "It's not a r
