MEL POVHis touch.His lips.God, his tongue.Those are the only thoughts swimming in my head as I lose myself in his kiss. I have missed this, this insane want I feel, this want that makes me forget everything, even the threat hanging on my head.“Rio.” I moan as he cups my ass and lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his waist as he presses me against the wall.“Darling Mel.” He pulls his lips from mine and stares into my eyes, while opening the buttons on my shirt. One by one.I feel completely captivated by the look in his eyes. I really think I can live the rest of my life, just staring into his blue eyes.He bends his head and bites on my left nipple through the lace of my bra.“Ah!” My body jerks in response as he suckles on it immediately and uses his free hand to toy with the other. I grab his head and pull him up for another kiss.“Mel. I need your taste in my mouth.” He groans and puts me on my feet. He goes down on his knees, drags my trouser down to my ankles and pulls the
MEL POVI part my lips and take the tip of his cock into my mouth, sucking and licking while cupping his balls.“Yes.” He moans softlyI part my lips wider as I free his balls, wrap my hand around the base of the cock and take him, inch by inch inside my mouth.“More, Darling. More.” Rio runs his hands through my hair and grips my head, pushing slowly between my lips. “Yes, Mel. Take all of me.”My jaw stretches as I open wider to accept more of him, as he thrust gently, almost reaching to my throat.“You feel so good, darling.” He moans as I work on him, bobbing my head up down, slowly and then faster. “Yes, yes baby. Fuck me.”I moan I feel his cock get harder in my mouth. He is gonna come.Inside in my mouth.My stomach tightens in excitement as I move faster, encouraging to cum when he thrust harder, hitting my throat. I wanna gag at the sudden intrusion, but I long to feel his cum in me. I cup his balls again, hoping to help him.“Mel.” He groans and pulls out of my mouth, leavin
MEL POV“Let’s go, Mel. Let us go.” The voice in the dark screams at me, dragging me farther into the woods“I’m scared.” I cry out, trying to free my little hand from the grip on it. I can’t see who or what is holding me, but they aren’t letting go. “Please. I don’t want to go on. I am tired. We should go back. Please.”“We can’t. I have you now. Never going back.” The voice screams again. “Never!” It tugs harder my hand and I slip, hitting my head on a blood-stained rock.“You have to keep going, Mel.” It finally releases my hand but the voice seems far away. “It’s hurts.” I cry out, laying on the muddy floor, blood dripping my fractured head with bruises covering my tiny hands. “Let’s go back.” I stretch my hand to the dark. “Take me back.” “I have to leave.” The voice gets further away. “They can’t catch me. I have to go.”“No. Take me back.” The blood on my head starts to flow into my eyes, making me blind. “Please.”“l will be back for you.” A voice is now just a whisper that
MEL POVI should have known. I should have known.I keep repeating this to myself as I tap vigorously on the elevator button. Rio is probably injured but he could still walk. “C’mon, please open.” I cry, looking back to see if he was coming after me. It finally opens. I get in and press the button for the last floor. I have to leave the estate now, even if it is in my bath robe.“Christ!” I bang my head against the wall of the elevator. I am so stupid to have believe his reason for wanting to marry me. Help him win his company. As if the mafia can do that on their own. No wonder he didn’t tell me anything about what was going on in the company and his plans.Because all he wanted was to finish all he started that night in the woods. What they did to those girls.“To think that I was wondering if he was in love with me. Not knowing he was nothing but a freaking stalker and kidnapper and murderer.” I run my hands through my wet hair. “It’s because I was blinded by the money. And the j
FIFTEEN YEARS AGOMEL.I want to go back.It had rained earlier and the ground was muddy. The trees were too wet to touch and the bugs were bigger than I thought.“Hurry up Mel.” Stephen called out while walking fast. I tried to move faster, but there were so little my six-year-old legs could handle. “I’m tired and hungry.” I cry to him. “And cold too. Can’t we go back home?”.“It’s not our home, Mel.” He stopped and turned towards me. I could see the quick flash of anger in his eyes. Stephen hates when I call our orphanage ‘home’ and insists the two of us were the only home we could ever need. He was always angry and sad but he is very nice to me. So, when he woke me up in the middle of the night and said we’re going on a road trip with the promise of snacks, I didn’t question him.“I meant the orphanage.’ I say quickly. “Sister Mary would be looking for us, we should go back.” I added.Sister Mary could be harsh but she gave the warmest hugs and was the closest thing I had to a mu
Chapter 2PRESENT DAYMELIt was one of those shitty shifts again. I had at least hoped today will be different, being my 21st birthday and all.“Look alive Melissia, you are scaring the customers away.” Scott shouts, jolting me from my thoughts. He is my manager and a pain in my ass.‘Girl, don’t worry, no sort of look on your face could scare Mr. Hottie away.” My best friend, Angie teases me. I smile at her. “He’s back?” I say, resisting the urge to look in his direction. “Yes, and alone, but staring at you as usual.” Mr. Hottie, as nicknamed by Angie, never comes alone. He sort of has a routine; comes in around 5:30 pm, with a guy accompanying him, always different guys and takes a seat in my booth section. I go to take their order, the companion makes their request and Hottie never says a word. Then at exactly 6:20pm, 10 minutes before my shift ends, I look up and they are gone, but always leaving a huge tip behind.Today, he came in at 6:25 pm and he was alone. “Why are you
CHAPTER 3MEL“Please, please, please.” The girl screamed as she was being dragged by her hair, off the big stage. I couldn’t make out her face because she was blindfolded. They were all screaming and blindfolded.Except me.I was placed on a small stage away from the main crowd, my knees bent to the ground and my hands bound together. I didn’t make a sound because I was frightened at the sight before me. A long line of blindfolded girls were being dragged or carried into a truck.“Capo said to keep her away from the others and to not rough her up.” I heard a woman’s voice. “Guess, he has found his play toy.” another voice said.“No, no, no, let me go.” I cried, screaming as if I just realized what they were doing.“You are home, my precious.” His voiced boomed above others. The monster walked to me, sat on the chair placed before me, his eyes dead and said “WELCOME HOME.”A gunshot fired. “NO!!” I screamed, waking up from the floor, sweating, even though I could feel the cold air c
Chapter 4MelIn flesh and blood, Mr. Hottie held me in his arms and even though I was agitated, I could feel the warmth of his hands on my body."It's you" I say with shock.“Yes, darling it's me. Just relax. You are safe.” He said reassuringly. I stared at him in utter shock but I did feel safe.“She ran out.” One of the men chasing me said. I suddenly remembered what was going on and started panicking In Hottie’s arms."Help me. Please, they kidnapped me.” I held unto him tightly."Kidnapped?" He looked at the men."She was resisting sir, so we did what we thought necessary.” The bald man said still holding his hands where the cut was." So, you drugged her?" Hottie asked them again. " To avoid drawing attention to ourselves boss." Bald man responded. Did my captors just refer to Hottie as Boss and Sir, I thought to myself, what is going on? "She even sliced me boss." Baldie complained." What is going on?" I asked confused." You’ve got balls, my pretty.” Hottie raised his eye

RIO POV Signor Andre is the last person I expected to see tonight, but I should have guessed it when Nonna was going on about a family dinner. Father, Mel and Nick were also sitting at the table.“Dante, Rio. Glad you are home already.” Father welcomes us. “We have been waiting for you. Please Join us.”“Don’t mind if I do.” Dante struts to take his seat. “What are we having? Hey Nick, feeling better?”“Yes, Master Dante. Thank you.” Nick answers.I take my seat beside Mel who was sitting directly opposite Andre. I don’t know if that was planned or fate, but I intend to ignore him the whole night.“Hello darling. Miss me?”“Yes.” She looks up at me with a shy expression on her face“Good.”“Isn’t this wonderful?” Nonna sits next to Nick. “Everyone is here, sitting together like a family.”“Speaking of family, this is our official first meeting, Miss Mel.” Andre beams at Mel. “I would like to welcome you to our family. How have you been enjoying your time as a Rafe?”The sound of his
RIO POV“Sir.”I look up from my computer to see my secretary standing ay my door. “Yes?”“I’m leaving for the day.”“What?” I glance at the wall clock beside me. It is already 6;25 pm. I had not realized the time had gone way past the closing hour of 4pm. “Do you usually stay this long?”“No, sir. I had to finish up some stuff ahead of Monday. It’s the weekend tomorrow.”“Oh, right. Well then, goodnight.”“Good night, sir. See you on Monday.”It’s been a while since I have stayed this long at the company and its best, I get used to it as it will become my reality once I am named CEO. I finish up on my system, pull my table drawer open to store some files when I notice the file I had taken from my mother’s old office a few days ago.I have completely forgotten about it.I scan through the details of the first page. There are serial numbers about a shipment contract between Shamz holding and our company. The contents of the shipment are marked as undisclosed but tagged as delicate. The
RIO POV.“The order came from the Anteri Cartel.” Antonio finally says.“What?” Andre shots to his feet instantly.“Anteri, you say? The same Anteri drug lords from France?” Blanc asks.“Yes, sir. It’s the same ones.” Antonio nods in response.The Anteri Cartel is a mafia group from France known mainly for being notorious hard drug pushers. Recently their Don was acquainted for a drug deal gone wrong and I have never had personal deals with them.So, why did Antonio pin this on them? What game is he playing here?“That is a lie.” Andre angrily points at Antonio. “You! You are a freaking liar. Liar!”“I’m not lying, sir.” Antonio insists and brings out a white envelope from his pocket. He hands it over to Detective Blanc. “This was left in my mail at home, after I agreed to do the job. It had the upfront payment of ten thousand Euros and a letter warning me to do a good job.”“This is the French group’s seal.” Leroy says, while examining the letter. “I have seen it enough times to kno
RIO POVSecurity footage?There isn’t supposed to be a security footage. I had made certain of that.After concluding my meeting with Signor Temples, I had met up with some associates who would handle the planting of the drugs, and altering of the cameras to avoid any evidence or anyway of linking this back to me or anyone at all.“We all know that the security cameras in the loading docks were going to be altered,” Signor Andre says. “But our culprit forgot a little detail. The light house just across the dock. I was able to get this footage from them.”Shit. The damn light house. How could I have missed that?“Nice work, Mr. Andre.” I say, trying to conceal my annoyance. “I work hard for my money.” He answers. “It’s only natural I protect where it goes.” He presses play on the remote and the screen goes dark. In the next second, a man walks into the frame and heads to the already locked container, carrying a small bag with him. He unlocks the container, breaks the seal on the boxe
RIO POVI pull into the company’s parking lot, and I am greeted by my father’s secretary who immediately appeared at my door.“Good morning Mr. Rio. I am sorry to disturb you, this early.” She says. “I called your father but he said he wasn’t coming in today.”“That’s all right, Andrea. I was already on my way here.” We walk through the entrance together. “So, the French police are here already?”“Yes, sir.” She answers. “Mr. Temple is here too. He refused to speak to any of the board members, so I cajoled him into agreeing to meet with you instead of your father. I should warn you that he is now insisting on the arrest of Mr. Jim.”“Is he?” I ask, smiling. I had earlier informed Signor Temple to come to the company very early this morning and cause a huge scene over his goods. Sensing the tension in Andrea, he might have taken the order a little too serious.“Where is Mr. Temples now?” We get in the elevator.“In your office.” She winces as if she expected me to complain.“That’s fi
