POV: Dominic “Where is my money, Claire. Did you really think you and your boyfriend could steal from me and get away with it?” I asked her sternly. She corked her brow in question, her face filled with curiosity. “I’m sorry I wasted your time when I asked you to help me out with money to save my mom. I never meant to take your kindness for granted, and I never thought my sister would get the money before me. I was in need of the money at that time, I wasn’t lying to you or trying to trick you, I promise.” She told me firmly.The room is dimly lit, casting shadows across the faces of our faces. My expression is stern and my eyes fixed on Claire as she sits before me with a look of confusion and sadness. For a few seconds I was lost in thought as I stared at her. She looks exhausted, it’s been such a long day and I’m beginning to feel sorry for her. She is too pretty to be going through this and I wish I could stop putting her through so much stress. But I can’t…It’s too late to tu
POV: ClaireMy heart beat faster as led me down the corridor. I watched the movement of his legs as he strode in front of me. He has broad shoulders and perfect body that could make a woman drool from just looking at him. I could imagine how the girls around him manage to stay this close to him and not fall for his looks. He probably has them fighting over him for his attention. I would be surprised if he doesn’t treat them like whores already. With this look, you would never believe that he is as ruthless as they claim he is. “Wait here!” he ordered firmly as we walked in through a door at the end of the hallway. He held the door open for me to go in, I was shocked to see that the room was empty, Kyle wasn’t here. The room looks arranged and neat, I don’t think anyone has slept in here for a while now. “Where the hell is he?Did you kill him already?” I asked him sternly.“If you want him dead, just say the word and I’ll fucking do it. Or better yet, why don’t you do it yourself if
POV: Claire“So, what games are you playing?You actually thought you could get away with stealing from me?Why didn’t you return the goods when you couldn’t get her to move them around town, what stopped you from bringing them back to me the same way I handed them to you?” He asked Kyle again, pushing him to say more things that could annoy me further.I still couldn’t believe that he had a girlfriend that he planned to elope with. That means that he never loved me from the beginning, he was simply using me to get what he wanted. Vee had been right all along, he was never good for me. She always told me that Kyle would our me in a mess that would make me regret getting into a relationship with him.Well, here I am already. And the worst part of it is that I have nothing to give to Dominic in exchange for my life and my freedom. I haven’t even had time to call Vee and tell her what is happening to me. She would be so devastated and worried about me. She wouldn’t even know where to loo
POV: Victoria “Stop whining and let me think, Victoria. Your sister is going to be fine. If he wanted her dead, she would be dead already. I know Dominic like I know the back of my palm, I’m going to make sure nothing happens to her, just trust me!” He told me sternly.“Well, it didn’t look that way when he was kicking your ass out there in the street. He hates your guts and you just made him more pissed off at Ciara. Even if he wasn’t planning to hurt her before, now he’s going to fucking kill her because of you. Why didn’t you tell me he hates you so much, what the hell did you do to make him hate you so much!” I asked him angrily. He’s been quiet since we got back and it’s making me so angry because I don’t know what I’m going to tell Mom when she gets back home. She would be so devastated to find out that Claire has been abducted by the mafia Lord. She would be more furious to know that Dominic just made Claire’s situation worse by getting involved. At first, I didn’t want to co
POV: Victoria “What are you talking about, where is your Mom?” he asked me furiously. I told him I had no idea where she was and he sprinted out of the house the next minute yelling some incoherent curses that I couldn’t hear properly. I was shocked at his actions and I followed him immediately because I thought he was going to drive out to search for her. But he didn’t run towards his car, he ran towards the security room and I wondered what he was up to. “Get her on the phone, She mustn’t go near Dominic’s house, he could hurt without thinking that he is her mother. I’m going to handle it, you all need to chill out and let me do my thing.” He scolded me furiously. “She has my diamond necklace and ring, I think we should give her a chance to speak with him. With my ring and necklace, I’m sure she could get her off his hands. No one would resist such luxury, everyone has a price you know. I would have offered them to him if he had listened to me when I went to speak with him. But
POV: Victoria “No ma’am, I haven’t been able to get her location. My contact said she did not come near Dominic’s residence. I have given the order for her phone to be traced. Soon we will pinpoint her phone location and send some boys to get her.” He responded. “Get some rest, Miss Victoria, you need to take care of your body so you don’t break down or come down with an illness. I’ll come to you with anything I find out, I’ll be sure to get your mother's location before the next hour.” He advised.“That’s okay, I’ll be waiting patiently for your call. Please keep me in the loop when your boss gets through to the Don. I want to know everything he says to Dominic, I want to know if they fight again or if they manage to settle their differences. Tell me everything!” I told him eagerly, but he didn’t respond to me. He just hung up on me without a word.“Rude bastard!” I let out angrily. He’s just as annoying as his boss. No wonder both guys have been friends for so long, they are so al
POV: Victoria “No ma’am, I’m coming with you. Mr Hawkins will have my head if I let you go alone. I need to be there by your side, I have to make sure you are okay and safe. Just wait outside the house, I’ll pick you up in a few minutes. And don’t say one word to anyone, it appears that we have a mole.” He told me sternly, stating exactly what I had in mind before ending the call. I went back to the security room to delete everything I was doing in there. It’s been confirmed that we have a mole, I would hate if anyone detects my movement because I left evidence for them to find. They must not know that I know they are still bullying my mom. I don’t want to even conclude that she is being bullied, I would love to hear from her before I conclude that she is in danger. If I find out that she is being bullied and threatened again, I’ll make sure I teach Dad a lesson this time. I waited a few minutes for Carl, but he got here later than I expected and he didn’t bother to explain why he
POV: Victoria Mom knelt in front of them sobbing and begging, ignoring Cindy’s ranting. They still hadn’t spotted Carl and I because we were standing so distance away and the flowers were hiding us from their view. From their talks, I discovered that Cindy told Dad about the diamonds and now he is threatening to sell off the company if he cannot get his hands on the diamond, my diamonds. I couldn’t see Dad from where I was standing and I wondered if he was aware of what his wife and daughter were doing to my mother. The annoying part is that mom is just kneeling and begging like a fucking urchin. That is very disappointing and annoying, to say the least. She is not acting like herself, she is not acting like the mom I know and love so much. She has always been tough and strong, she has always stood up to dad and she taught us to do the same too. She has always planned to take back the company from her dad and she is seriously working hard towards it. She has a team of lawyers worki
