HANNAH'S POVA maid escorted me to the dining room of The Mendova family. It consists of my uncle Ephraim Mendova, My aunt Beatrice Mendova and their three abomination called children, Christian, Lilly and James.Lilly was the eldest, she's 26 years old. Christian was the second eldest, he's 25 years oldJames was the youngest, he's 19 years old.While I Hannah Victoria, I am 24 years old I'll be 25 this coming december. You might be astonished, Why do I hate the Mendova's kid so much ? Why do I answer to Victoria ? And where are my parents ?My father was murdered by my uncle to claim the position of godfather. Everyone knows even me and I can't do anything about it. I was born into a Mafia lineage and it's normal for a family member to assassinate one another for power. My father eliminated my grand father to become godfather.In the future Christian and James will fight for that title or at least one of them will kill uncle Ephraim.As for my
ZACHARY'S POVI and Jacob were in my bar room. It was a separate room decorated with different brands of wine. "If she's being abused why can't she just leave." I ignorantly replied to Jacob who was narrating Hannah's abusive relationship with her relatives."Her dad was killed by her uncle at a tender age. Her mom just disappeared after what could she do now that she couldn't do as a child ? If she leaves without their permission they'll kill her it's not that easy." Jacob recites and now I felt a little bad for Hannah but not remorseful to kinder the hatred I have for her."Maybe if she didn't try to poison me multiple times I'd relate with her condition better." I said recalling those Horrid memories. "She wouldn't have poisoned you if you weren't so close with Javon.You knew Javon's family was on the Mendova's black list didn't you ?""That was enough reason for you to drop him after his family stab the Mendova's behind their back.""She killed him. That woman is a murderer." I ha
HANNAH'S POVMy back ached all over from the lashes I received, tears continuously stream down my cheeks till my eyes were clouded blood red.My uncle put away his lash ignoring my aching body.This was a familiar routine so it didn't faze him."You better keep quiet or you'd be crying blood any moment." I instantly went mute. It's been months since I got a lashing. Unfortunately I'm 24 years old ant I get treated like a beast."Do you have an idea of why you got a lashing ?" My uncle asked me. I tried to bear the pain and not answer in a way that could earn me more lashes."I honestly expressed my feelings, I forgot that this family doesn't like to hear the truth." I tried, I really tried but I just had to say it like that. "No, try again." My uncle insisted."No." I answered. "You want me to say I disrespected Lilly ? Earlier they made jest of me and all they got was a glare. I let out honest emotions that you intentionally triggered and I get a lashing how unfair is that ?" I yelled
ZACHARY'S POVI hate family dinners.One day of the month I'm forced to eat with my parents and siblings and talk about how the the previous month went.I was mostly the center of attention since my parents were at my neck to find a wife and settle down.I walked in my parents house with a Vior paper bag alongside with Olivia who helped me pick out my present for Flora. "Thanks again Olivia I don't know what I would have done without you." I thanked her again letting her in until I considered shutting the door. "Oh it's nothing it's been a while since I had dinner your parents and Flora. Besides I need to break the news to them about my engagement." Fiona said flashing her ring."Congratulations. I better be the first person you inform when you get married." I winked at Olivia who blushed a little. "Of course, you'd be the first person I'll relay the news to." Olivia promised, we both looked ahead to see Flora running up to me, I stretch my arms wide open but she ran past me and hugged
HANNAH'S POV"He made you do what ?" Kerry yelled at the top of her voice getting the attention of our surroundings.I told her to keep it down, the whole world didn't need to know what we were talking about."I have to pick a suitor from his recommendations admist that I have another mission to follow up." Kerry reached over to have a look at the recommendations."Damn your uncle took his time. Eww why is Christian here ? He doesn't expect you to marry that psychopath does he ? " Kerry gagged.I sighed. " If I don't pick at least one. Christian would be my latter. It doesn't help matters that the men on the list don't have a good impression of me." I said sobbing quietly."Brian, oh I remember him he was your partner for a mission. You guys were unstoppable on a mission, why not him ?" Kerry muttered calling out the first candidate. "The imbecile kept setting up for failure when we were together. If we get married I might murder him." I said pushing myself back to seat comfortably."
ZACHARY'S POVI didn't know when my hands found their way to Hannah's neck. I wasn't doing much of a good job anyway since she was just snickering at me. I heave a deep breath and backed away from her, she barely brushed the side of her throat or even coughed."Why didn't you push me away." I yelled at her."Oh please, you barely did anything. The only thing you did was waste my time." Hannah said ignoring my gaze and going through her phone."Hannah…" we both turned to see Olivia run up to the both of us. "Olivia, you're working for Zachary ?" Hannah says glaring at me."Yes, I am. Mr Zachary treats me well " Olivia said as Hannah got hold of her hand to admire her ring. "You're engaged ?" Hannah asked as Olivia nodded her gaze shifted to me. "Oh it's not Mr Zachary. I'm engaged to another man." Olivia said clearing up the misunderstanding."I suspect so, you're way too good for Zachary." Hannah says. "I wouldn't put it that way Hannah." Olivia chuckled in hopes Hannah doesn't upset
HANNAH'S POVToday was Olivia's engagement party, it was currently 7am and I was in dire need to get a present. I tried to recall what Olivia used to like but it was all fruitless. On top of that my uncle request for my presence to have breakfast with the family. After that stunt I pulled I wasn't allowed to eat with the Mendovas. It was the best punishment I've ever received and sadly all good things must come to an end.I heard footsteps match with mine, I did not bother to look back the only person I could think of wasn't worth it to take a look at. I immediately hasten my steps. "That hurts my pride Anna." I froze on my steps immediately, I turned to look at Christian who was dressed in a dress shirt tucked under his black pants. "Tell it to someone who actually cares." I hissed turning my back at him, his grip found its way to my shoulders. "Well you better start caring since you're going to be my wife." I almost went mad in am instant, I tried to stay calm as possible."That ca
ZACHARY'S POVCongratulations filled the air, I looked over at the number of people who paid their respect to Olivia and her fiance. Olivia was really doing charity, I don't want to compare but I was way better looking than her fiance. What did he have that I didn't.He was an employee of mine and somehow he managed to get engaged to my secretary. I didn't even know he worked for me until Olivia introduced us to each other.I called Olivia to a corner and handed her an envelope. She held tightly held on to it but shook her head. "This is an early wedding gift." I said, she opened it to see a hundred dollar notes in 250 pieces. "Mr Zachary, this is 250 grand." Olivia muttered wide eyed."It's your early wedding gift and also my thanks for being my secretary. Flora told me you were resigning, I know you were going to tell me but I was hurt hearing it from Flora." I faked being betrayed right in front of Olivia who pressed her palm over her eyes. I instantly realize she was trying to ho
"You look gorgeous." Kerry holds her chin merely glaring at him, if he was expecting a compliment back she wasn't going to give any. "See, you're behaving just like your mother, quiet, obedient. If you're lucky you could be my submissive as well." Kerry held her disgust down her throat."Well if I'm lucky you could loose your mind and snap my neck before then." Sinclair didn't mind her, he turned his back at her. "Hannah and Zachary are coming you better try your best to convince them you have to marry me or…""Yeah, yeah, or you'll tell the world that I was the one who murdered Liam Drew. I get it Sinclair so if that's all you got kindly find someone else to piss of I don't have the energy." Sinclair cast his gaze at her but she was unaffected, she was not like Hannah who would do anything to survive even though she was cornered. Kerry was different and it irritated him, he already hit her but she wasn't fazed, it was as if every single thing he tried to do to her was non threatenin
Beads of sweat stroke down the tepid across her face. Her sight was everything, he was the one taking in her agitated view, he wondered how carmine it would be with his member wrapped around the cusp of her lips. Hannah laid her head hoping to cool down the warmth across her face, she surmised him struggling, curious, she faced him head on just to see him devoid of his customary covering.Hannah basked at his bare figure, her teeth clamped her lips and if she dug any further she might have bled. Zachary leans over brushing his thumb over her lower lip, he held himself back from nibbling on them but the image of sweat drenched with blood aroused him. Another hand disposed of her under garment and Hannah couldn't stop a grin breaking across her pompous face. Her eyes stayed dove-like believing he would keep to his promise faster."You really are goddamn poignant." The grunt that followed lingered in Hannah's ears. He didn't even give her time to unwind her thoughts. He spread her legs
"How was today ?" Hannah brushed off his question, breathless between the kiss. Zachary smiled enjoying how oblivious she was to his question.He stopped the movement below their torso, curving a hand over her waist while the other hand helped hold her chin. "How was your day ?" Hannah didn't find his interruption funny at all, she didn't just encounter a death scare for this. "Don't do this Zachary." She almost whined trying to connect their lips once again but Zachary would not allow it."Not until you answer my question." He pressured."Christian finally shows up out of nowhere and planted a bomb on Olivia and Flora but I killed him before he could set the bomb off." This piece of information made Zachary weak all of a sudden, Hannah held his face crashing her lips on his as though she's been deprived of them for years.Zachary pushes her back. "Are you okay ?" Hannah's could understand his concern, he appeared as though he had witnessed the incident himself. "Mhmm." She mumbled
ZACHARY'S POVWhen I recommend for Claire to drop by sometime I didn't say she had to come by my house. I was busy or should I better rephrase that I was being drowned by work until she came over using my statement as armour. She waltz in without an invitation proceeds to raise the bridge of her nose. "You seem to have your work cut out for you." The irritation she had earlier was gone, it was her usual fake cheery self."Again, I'll repeat myself, get out of my house." I raised my voice a bit since the last two times were uneffective. "But you were the one who invited me Zachary, don't you think you should at least pretend you're happy to see me ?" "But I'm not happy to see you." I clicked my tongue at her. She pressed the back of her palm over her forehead. "Oh goodness Zachary can't you get a joke." She dropped her palm when she realized I'm dead serious about her absence."Why do you hate me so much ?" I don't know how she could so oblivious to the reason why so I just ignored h
"Hannah it's enough.." he increase his pitch a bit louder. Having enough he lunges to her fighting for the gun, her elbow nudge him away but he didn't let her go that easy. "It's enough.." Jacob yelled clamping a hold of the gun as well, she turned to him with tears rolling down her cheek. "It's not enough Jacob, it's not enough for what they did to me. They killed father, they drove my mother away. They made every damn day of my life a living nightmare. They exploited me and made me this mind fuck of a mess, I should have killed Ephraim not Sinclair, I should have murdered every single one of the Mendovas." Jacob nodded encircling his arms over her, he buries his forehead on her shoulder."I'm sorry for what happened to you, it must have been hard for you anyone in your situation would have ended everything so please just drop the gun okay ?" His soothing voice calmed her nerves, she was sobbing looking down at the gun in her grasps.Hannah found the scene familiar, the time she kill
Kerry looked at the documents Sinclair placed on the table for her. It was the actual will her father left behind. She didn't know how Sinclair got it but she wasn't surprised. "What is this ?" Kerry opened her mouth a little gasping in shock. "What do you mean by that ?" Sinclair's entire right arm cleared the table."You tricked me, I'm supposed to be the rightful heir to the widoeth's property, you made me look like a fool in front of everyone when your father.." Kerry put a hand up as pissed as Sinclair was, he paused."Look Asher, you're fucking loaded you don't need my father's property more than I do. I'm his fucking offspring and the original will did say it all belonged to me, the only difference is I'm not in a miserable position like my mother." Her hands were pressed on the table, she slowly lifts up her torso, pressing her back to the comfort of her seat."Taking what's rightfully mine isn't a trick, besides this documents could be a farce since you can't back down from l
HANNAH'S POV"What are you doing ?" Hannah watched Jacob fidgeting to get his phone from his pocket, beads of sweat dripping from his face with his face weighed down in panic. "What does it look like I'm doing ?" He quickly paid her a glance before going back to his phone. She leans over to him peeping the ID of the person on his phone."The police ?" Hannah raises her brow, what could the police do ? "I know you're not a fan of cops but my sister is close to being cafeteria's chili." His panic was understandable to Hannah, Flora was his sister and unlike the Mendova's the Montiquez actually like each other. "I doubt the police might have any knowledge on how to diffuse the bomb, your sister will end up dead faster if we contact them." Jacob held his phone in a pause mustering Hannah's words he couldn't help but think she was right"So what do we do ? Wait for the person who planted it to actually blow them up ?" Hannah shook her head. Jacob didn't understand how she was able to be so
HANNAH'S POVOlivia no longer likes me and that's okay I'm beginning to dislike her as well. I knew it wasn't going to be easy getting her to like me but she keeps bringing up stupid shit I did in college when we all went for the family dinner. She did say she was going to take everything from me and end me in ruins but petty banter seems rather sluggish.She stopped later on when Zachary and her had a talk, I didn't know what it is about but I'm glad that got her to shut up.I didn't want to handle it myself, I might have ripped her tongue out if I tried. The family dinner wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been.Diana did most of the talking and Flora talk when she could. She was mostly on her phone and I didn't mind. She did talk with Olivia mostly it's expected since they had a relationship to begin with.So tell me why Olivia met me with Darrin when I was at work to tell me how she and Flora were planning a girl's day out and to my surprise Flora wanted me to be there. How
ZACHARY'S POVTammy slightly bowed the moment she walked in and spotted my father, she quickly relays what she could and quickly leaves me and my old man to talk."She's like a robot." I nodded, I didn't really want to talk more on Tammy, I wasn't interested in discussing that. There wasn't even a need."Your wife how is she ? I heard she's working for another company now ? Trouble in paradise." My father may look like someone who has nothing to do with gossips but this man is the first one to know when something happens. Maybe it's because he and my mom married early and he had nothing better to do than to gossip with her all day, I suspect that is the case. "She was demanded by another company but the royalty she got alone from there was enough for Mom to give her the green light. If you want someone to gossip with you why don't you ask mom. All she does is call in Hannah and eat with her." If my father didn't get the gist I went straight to the point."Go and gossip with your wife
