POV: Victoria The master bedroom is incredibly spacious, it covers a significant portion of the top floor of the mansion. I smiled in appreciation as I looked up at the high ceilings with a beautiful chandelier in the middle. It has large windows that offer a stunning view of the terrain.At the center of the room is a massive, custom-made bed with the finest linens, plush pillows, and a designer headboard. The mattress is likely to be a top-of-the-line luxury model for the ultimate in comfort. I jump on the bed and smile in satisfaction, chuckling excitedly. Claire jumped in after me and we jumped and danced on the bed, loving the soft mattress. The décor of the room is elegant and sophisticated, there is custom-made Italian furniture and tasteful artwork. The color theme is grey and white with luxurious tones of gold and silver as designs.“This room is huge, Vee!It has everything you need!” Claire let out excitedly and we toured my room. I am pretty sure that this room belongs t
POV: Victoria “Erm, I… I…Why don’t we forget about that and talk about,” “Which one!” He asked sternly, stopping me from dodging his question.“The Ferrari,” I let out softly, thinking he would yell at me. But he just looked away as if it didn’t matter, “It suits you,” he told me, leaning further on his seat and staring at me. “So why are you here?State your business and get the hell out of my business!” he lets out sternly.“Fine!Just show me to my office and I’ll be out of your way,” I told him, smiling down at him. “What office?What the hell are you talking about?” he asked me, sounding pissed.“Come on, Ralph!Don’t pretend as if you don’t know what I’m talking about. We talked about this a million times before I agreed to sign this contract. I need a job so I can pay off my debt and take care of my mom and my sister. You don’t want me to come running to you for every fucking thing we need, do you?” I asked him. “I have enough money to cover your needs. Don
POV: Victoria “What is he doing here, Claire, why did you bring him here?” I asked her angrily, pulling her to the balcony roughly. “Of all the rooms in this house, you decided to bring him to my room, Raphael’s room!Are you fucking insane?!” I yelled in anger. “Relax, Vee. We are not doing anything wrong. We just wanted to tame some cool pictures and videos for his page online. I’m celibate you know, I wouldn’t disrespect you like that.” She responded sadly, trying to guilt trip me. “Coming into my fiancee’s room when we are both out is disrespectful on its own, let alone bringing a dumb man in here. What were you thinking, Claire, what if Raphael and I had decided to come back home together?” I asked angrily.“Wait, he’s going to be living with us?” she asked me looking so surprised. “It is his house, dummy!He can choose to come and go as he pleases. Now get that dumb boyfriend of yours out of my robe and out of this house before I call the cops on him.” I told her firmly. I
POV: Victoria My hand flew to my mouth in shock as I stared at the car. Kyle can never afford this car, it has to belong to one of his bosses and they are drug lords. No one would give this kind of car to someone as irresponsible as Kyle. That means he stole a car and brought it here to Raphael's house. He brought a stolen car to a house that a sick woman and her daughters were supposed to be hiding out. “Are you both mad!” I yelled at the top of my voice, trying to catch my breath because it seemed like I was having a panic attack. I didn’t know what to think at this point as my hand flew to my head. This guy would kill us all, “Kyle would kill us all!Kyle is nothing but trouble!Kyle is going to have us all killed!” I kept repeating in my head as my hand flew to my head in panic. “Awww shit!My phone is still upstairs,” Kyle let out in a panic, trying to run upstairs. The guards tried to stop him but I signaled them to let him go up and get his phone so he would get the hell ou
POV: Victoria If only Claire wasn’t with him, I wouldn’t have cared. He can go and screw himself for all I care. But, I couldn’t turn the other way because of my sister. And now I’m stranded in this busy city looking for her. I wonder who he stole from, is the person as scary as the security guard described him?I drove around in circles until I got too frustrated to even think straight. I don’t know what to do, there is no way I would leave here and go back home to Mom when I have no idea what happened to my sister. I drove back to Kyle’s house and I went back to the security to get more information about the guys that were looking for Kyle. If I knew who they were, then at least I would know where to start from. “You don’t listen, do you?I told you to leave, you can’t be here!” he yelled at me furiously.“What happened to you?” I asked in concern when I noticed the bruises on his face. This wasn’t there when I stopped by earlier it’s not even up to an hour ago that I left him and
POV: Victoria “Is there a problem miss, is there something I could help you with, is someone after your life?” The driver asked me, looking into the rearview mirror in fear to see if we were being followed. I forced out a reassuring smile, assuring him that everything was okay with me. He nodded in understanding, but he didn’t focus on his driving anymore. He kept gazing at me through the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with empathy as if I were a lunatic or an addict. I tried to sit still when I noticed that he was watching me, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I could be followed by those crazy guys.As if on cue, I received a text from Raphael the minute I got to the spot he asked me to stop. It was right next to a restaurant and I thought he would be waiting for me inside the restaurant. But Ralph is taking extra precautions today, he asks me to board another cab and drive around town for a few minutes. I didn’t just drive, he made me stop to pick up a few things on my
POV: Raphael She got into the car reluctantly, banging the door in anger. I feel like reaching out to her and strangling her. I’ve really been with strange guys in the past, I’ve dealt with my cousins, my uncles, and some of the meanest guys in this city. But none come close to Victoria, she is so tough to deal with. She drives me crazy with her actions, she makes me want to yell and thrash everything around me in anger. You won’t believe that she made me tell before she got into the fucking car. And when she finally got in, she started whining about my lack of empathy, giving me a silly attitude.She lost a bit of the attitude when we spotted the white SUV on our way out of there. I called my buddy at the prescient and asked him to keep the red light on that lane for twenty minutes. They are Dominic's boys and I know they will not turn back without getting her. He is such a crazy bastard, his boys would rather die trying than go back to him with excuses. When I saw them going in a
POV: Raphael Only a fool dares to steal from Dominic Morrell. I took a huge risk when I double-crossed him. It was just a business deal that was supposed to stop the trafficking of underage girls in the city. At that time, I thought I was doing the right thing, I was hell-bent on making this city better and I made such a stupid move that put me in such a terrible situation.You see, two years ago, when my family thought I was out of town studying to be the businessman they wanted me to be. I was actually here in this city, building my business network, and making my position known in the city. I made friends with some guys in the Mafia, and I got close to cartel rings, keeping my enemies closer like they say.I did all this to gain relevance in the city and know my way around. I made allies and friends in a few months, and I had one friend who helped me get around easily. His name was the one person I could trust, the one person who saw through my disguise before anyone else. His na
