KAYLA

“ What are you talking about?” I coughed as I tried to catch my breath. What was he going on and on about?

“ You're the one who's suspicious of me that's why I asked you to get your men to search,” he was pissing me off.

Ricardo's hand shoots out, gripping my wrist tightly as he pulls me up to my feet.

“ Let go of me! You're hurting me!” I raised my voice as I tried to free my hand from his grip. He really was hurting me with how tight he held on.

“ Watch your tone, Red. I may be fond of you doesn't mean I will turn a blind eye to everything you do,” his eyes blazed with anger. I was genuinely afraid of him right now. I knew he was the Don of the largest mafia and I understood what I was getting myself into my approaching and infiltrating into his house but seeing him like this made me realize how weak my resolve to root out information was.

“ W-why…why are you doing this to me?” I cried. I was honestly terrified and confused right now.

    KAYLA I didn't bother to struggle or talk back and just let him finish what he wanted. Once he had cum inside me, he looked down at me somewhat satisfied yet annoyed. “ You really do get on my nerves sometimes,” he slid out of me and went to his closet to get something. Coming out again, he threw a sleeping robe on me. “ Get dressed,” he ordered. With my body still trembling and my legs weak, I raised myself into a half lying position to put on the bathroom. He wore a bathroom as well and went towards the door. He called some of his men in to search where I had been searching before things escalated and to make it worse, ‘he’ just had to be among. “ I knew she was sus,” Enzo pointed at me. Why was he even here? Ricardo must have called them in because they were already here for something and he trusts them the most. “ How would you like us to torture her?” He grinned as he continued yapping. “ We were to search, not torture,” Luca adjusted his spectacles as he spoke. He

    KAYLA “ Seems like you were talking about me,” he said, resting on the door post. “ On a second thought, I don't think I wanna talk to him,” I sighed as I lay down on the bed. “ I just came to let you know that your days here are numbered,” Enzo said, pointing at me. “ Just because you were lucky this time, doesn't mean you'll be lucky next time,” he spat. “ At least, I'm sure we feel the same,” I answered without bothering to look back at him. “ Maybe you could find a way to convince Ricardo to let me go,” I sighed and the room fell quiet. Enzo was anything but quiet, especially around me. “ Huh?” He finally reacted. “ She asked me to do that as well but claimed that it would be more effective to get you to help out,” Luca explained to him, accounting for the fact that he was slow at catching on. “ And why do you think I'd want to help you?” Was he being serious right now? He wanted me gone more than anyone else so why is he ask

    KAYLAMy mind kept roaming around the events of what happened in Ricardo's room and how I could have done things differently. Should I have waited and made sure he was deep in sleep? Or would it not have mattered anyway?I glanced at the alarm clock beside my bed. It was the same boring cycle since that day. Wake up, get out bed and most importantly avoid Ricardo like my life depended on it. Just thinking about what I've been doing made me feel like the coward I was. I couldn't forget the look in his eyes, he looked at me as though I was some object for his taking. Remembering sent a tingle down my spine- and it wasn't a pleasant one.I tiptoed out of my room, the hallways were empty but I would not take any chances. I had bumped into Ricardo a few times already and he had tried to talk to me but I didn't want to hear it. I definitely don't want to here anything now.Late mornings like these meant he shouldn't be home and it made me breathe a bit easier- just a bit.I made my way to t

    KAYLA I watched him walk into my bedroom with a food tray in his hands. Why did he personally deliver it to me when he could have gotten the maids to do so? It's not like he likes or cares about me in anyway that he would feel the need to personally cater to my tantrums, so to say. “ I don't think you're so benevolent to care if I skipped breakfast,” I said as I closed the door behind me, my voice hinting sarcasm. “ At least you're aware,” he snickered before making himself comfortable on my bed. “ It doesn't really matter to me if you throw a tantrum or go on a hunger strike in the name of revolting,” he shrugged. “ Which is why I'm surprised at how you willingly chose to lower yourself to the level of a maid. Even if anyone other than a maid or Ricardo were to do this, it would be Luca, not you,” I answered, letting him know that I hated him just as he hated me. It was mutual and I don't think that would change. “ So what brings you here? It certainly

    RICARDO I sat there with a rigid expression and a stone face as the others postured and threatened. Meetings with other mafia has always been boring and something but a mere formality to me and today's own was particularly boring and devoid of anything exciting if we exempt the argument going on. “ If you wish to save your heads, it would be better for you all to act accordingly in the Boss's presence,” Enzo stepped in while I remained silent. “ As much as he's the Don of El Salvatore, he's still not the Don of our mafia. It's simply a give-and-take relationship between both mafia groups so why the fuck does he have to mediate in our internal affairs?” One of the young men in the room who was a prospective heir to Purple Dragon mafia lashed at Enzo. I was beginning to get annoyed and tired of this. Though it was the same monotonous routine year after year, the problem didn't lie solely on this. It was accurate to say that my mind was elsewhere. I reached out

    KAYLAWeeks later A ray of light leaked through the blinds and assaulted my eyelids. I turned my body to break the seal of my warm imprint on the bed. Taking hold of my blanket, I snuggled myself in it, not wanting to get out of bed but the sun kept making it harder to fall asleep. “ Argh!” I groaned as I threw the blanket away from my face. “ Why does it have to be morning?” I squinted my eyes as I questioned no one in particular. “ I should have worn my sleeping mask,” I sighed in regret as I sat up and pushed myself out of bed. I went over the the blinds and opened them all up so that sunlight could properly seep in. “ It feels like I slept on a rock,” I muttered as I headed to the bathroom to wash my face. I couldn't relate to those who'd always describe their mornings as relaxing and good, at least not since I moved into Ricardo's home. I fall asleep to the thought of Ricardo and even in my sleep I find new ways to avoid him the next day.

    Chapter 58RICARDO I woke up to the persistent sun rays streaming through the curtains. Kayla was still asleep, her soft breaths could be heard clearly in the quiet room. I wanted to reach out to her, to touch her, but I couldn't. “ Kayla?” My eyes went open the moment I called out her name. I was daydreaming. “ Since when did I start daydreaming?” I cussed as I sat up on my bed. Just then a gentle guy rhythmic knock came on the door and after a while of silence, the person let themselves in. “ Pardon my intrus… Ahh…” the maid that had just walked in was startled to see me awake and seated on my bed. She was able to cover her mouth with her hand midway through her scream. “ W-why didn't you answer me if you were away, sir?” She inquired as she stood by the door at a safe distance. “ Do I have to answer you? Since when does the employer need to be so responsive?” I snapped, even though there was no genuine reason to. “ I-

    RICARDO I stood there for a moment, feeling defeated. I knew it was only right to give her space, but it was killing me inside to see her this way. “ I'm sorry,” I mumbled for the last time before walking away from her room door. Breakfast was dull and bland, though not necessarily because of the food but because of my mood. “ Is the food not to your liking, sir?” The head maid inquired. I guess, my face wasn't hiding anything. “ No, it's to my taste. I'm not just in the mood right now,” I said, getting up from the chair. “ Make sure Kayla eats,” I instructed before leaving the house As I made my way to the office, my mind was still preoccupied with Kayla. Enzo who had been filling me in about the proceedings of certain businesses and deals we had, arched his brow in confusion. “ Boss, are you okay with my first or second suggestion?” He asked me. I knew it was a test to see if I had truly been listening to him. “ Sorry, E

    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
