Lucia tried calling her sister's number for the third time in a row but the answering machine told her the same thing. Her phone was simply unreachable. It's been almost six months since Liliana left and it's been over a year since she was abusing drugs. Lucia thought her sister would keep her word and quit but it was very easy for her to fall back into that deep dark pit all over again. There was never even a full day of sobriety.

This time she was in a phone booth and had hoped her sister would answer the call knowing it wasn't her number but it never came. Lucia grew more worried each day without hearing anything from Liliana. Lucia always recalled her last argument with Liliana and how that led to Liliana choosing to live her own life on her own terms.

Lucia wanted to try one of her sister's friends now when she heard her name being cried out from across the road outside the booth. It was her friend Elena who was also her dance partner. “Lucia! Do you want to get into trouble again?” Elena called out for her as she rushed out of the little dance studio.

Lucia let out a deep breath and dropped the telephone back in it's place. She didn't want to upset her Madame especially when this job of hers was paying her everyday bills. She couldn't help the tears that came out of her eyes. She wonders when she will stop thinking about Liliana. But she had made a promise to their dying father.

“Lucy!” Elena cried out again and Lucia nodded wiping her tears.

She stepped out of the phone booth and crossed the road to meet Elena. They both were dancers at a famous strip club in their neighborhood somewhere in Russia. Becoming a dancer at a nightclub wasn't something Lucia thought she would ever do. But after running away with her sister and settling in another city she knew she couldn't choose her job. She had to accept whatever was thrown at her. She was no longer the princess of a wealthy family over ten years ago.

The clock was striking 5 in the evening leaving only an hour left before the dance studio closes for the day. Both Lucia and Elena headed back into the small room of the dance studio to meet their instructor Madame Roccio who was wearing a hard frown as usual.

This time Roccio didn't say a word and instead Lucia and Elena began to dance as the warm glow sent from the setting sun bestows on them from the opened glass windows. Lucia was everything of a woman. Beautiful, Dreamy, ethereal and pleasingly alluring. Her entire aura had a different glow and her dance reflected just that.

Lucia was now prepping backstage along with Elena and the other backup dancers. The nightclub was crowded and packed as usual just to come watch Lucia dance. Her ocean blue eyes were a pair of magnets drawing in the customers along with her long brown loose curls. Even her petite body was to perfection.

It was just about the time for them to walk unto the stage and dance with one of the managers Mr Frank already wearing a smirk and thinking about tonight's sales when he looked to his left which was the entrance of the club. His facial expression immediately became troubled as four black Mercedes cars came to park right in front of the club outside. A tall bulky man holding a rifle came to open the door of one of the cars and a tall man stepped out.

It was very strange for a man like Sylvester King to make an appearance to this part of the city which was only known for having a bad reputation. But at the same time he was the owner of the club and could come anytime he pleased. Standing at an impressive height of 6’6 with spartan shoulders and a muscular body frame.

Adorned in a dark blue crisp suit spoke everything in volumes about him. Dark and Lethal. Tall, dark and very handsome with black inky hair. A boyish look but a deep scar that crossed and shaved his right eyebrows making him to look more intimidating and dominating. A chiseled jaw and a pointed aristocratic nose added to his striking features. He looked like a man who ruled the world and the reality was no different.

Everyone at the club became still as the doorman with his whole body trembling and hoping Sylvester doesn't even look his way went ahead to hold the door for the mafia King. The music was turned off instantly and silence reigned to the point that Sylvester could hear the sound of his shoes along with his goons.

Lucia also remained still in her place. She also knew who Sylvester King was. Apart from just owning the club she was working in, she knew that Sylvester and his family practically owned the entire city. Even the mayor of their city was a King and he was Sylvester's uncle. The Kings practically ruled the entire city and had the residents in their claws.

Sylvester walked into the club and everyone immediately had their heads bowed. It was a code of respect for him. But more than that the people at the club wanted to know the reason as to why the kingpin himself had to come all the way to this part of the city. Though everyone were scared to bits but the sheer curiosity was much greater.

One of Sylvester's goons gestured for Frank to come and Sylvester asked him. “Where is John?” His deep velvety voice was just as dangerous as his entire presence all together.

“He is in the office, sir.” Frank quickly responded with his face staring down at his floor. Everyone could pick the fear in his voice. This was the second time Lucia was seeing Sylvester. He hadn't come to the club in over four months.

Sylvester only walked up the stairs and got into the office and everybody heard something like a glass breaking and followed by John's loud voice screaming for help. The club was almost emptied by now after hearing John's horrifying screams.

Lucia shivered not even wanting to imagine what was happening to Mr John in the office upstairs. Though John was a terrible and a stingy employer but still, it was very dreading to imagine him right now. Mr King was the death angel himself and had heard lots of stories about his killing sprees if matters weren't done to his orders and likings.

“Ah! Aaaaa! Please spare me don! Aaaaa!” There was this constant harsh sound of something hitting the table. Lucia's whole body was trembling like a leaf while the few people still present at the bar owning to their curiosities had their whole faces going pale.

Lucia wonders what John had done to have made Sylvester personally come down here. She knew it must be something important and that John had messed up big time. It would be a miracle if John was left alive after Sylvester was done with him tonight. They all heard a wiping shattering scream before it all fell into dead silence.

The sound of shoes touching the stairs were heard and soon Sylvester came down and Lucia could now look at him more closely. His eyes were a shiny shade of silver grey and his skin hadn't looked so fine and spotless but then her feet grew cold after spotting blots of blood on his fine dark blue suit. Both his sleeves were rolled up to his forearms showcasing his many tattoos all over his bloody arms.

Sylvester didn't have any expression on his face and simply walked past her without a glance with three of his men trailing right behind him. It was one of his goons that informed Frank to take John to the hospital.

Everyone soon saw some guys taking out an unconscious John down the stairs. His head was bloody and had been bashed with something hard. His limbs were broken and his face was smashed from multiple punches. He almost seemed like a dead corpse and Lucia could only blame John for bringing this unto himself.

It was no doubt that Sylvester's presence tonight was bad for the business and had ruined the vibe and atmosphere of the club. News had spread out. Everyone had chosen to leave the club and even Lucia and her dancers had to call it a night. It sucked because the staffs weren't paid their wages for tonight.

Lucia couldn't shake off the scene she had witnessed earlier. She got into the phone booth again and dialed for Liliana's number again. Heaving out a defeated sigh Lucia now chose to head back home to her measely tiny one room apartment. She stopped in front of a hotdog stall on her way home and bought herself two hot dogs as her dinner.

Sometimes Lucia reminisced the old days when she had the choice of choosing her meals and what she wanted and craved for at that precise moment. To think she once had it all only for it to completely shatter in one night. Lucia could still recall how hard it was for her and her sister to enter into this city all alone ten years ago.

Lucia reached her apartment building which was a couple blocks away from the club. She greeted the security who did look scared for some reason but Lucia didn't pay any attention and headed into the building. She pressed the elevator and walked in. She walked out on her floor and saw some of the neighbors outside their flats. All of them staring only at her.

Lucia didn't know why all eyes were on her right now. Somewhere inside her she could feel something was wrong. She didn't ask anything and only proceeded to walking to her apartment when she halted a few feet away from her door. She saw the lock on her door was broken and her door was opened a little. Someone had broken into her apartment.

The first thing that had crossed her mind was that one of her father's enemies had found her but then with shaky legs she held the door knob and pushed the door more only to be harshly pulled inside her apartment and in the next split second she was already on the floor.

    Lucia hit her forehead against the floor. She already knew they had come for her. She couldn't hide anymore. She couldn't run anymore from her inevitable fate - her death. And, the irony was that she had no idea who she was running away from. Her father never got the chance to inform her when he died in her arms. Lucia looked up and found her abode completely in a mess. The goons had trashed her apartment and turned it upside down. She didn't know how they found her when they didn't for ten years. She could already see her end drawing near and she thought of Liliana. Would she never see her again. One of the goons came to pull her up by her right arm and Lucia was forced to hiccup. But then her eyes settled on one of the tattoos on the goons right shoulder. It had a black S with spikes around it. That only meant one thing. These goons weren't the ones searching for her. But rather this goons served Sylvester King. Every man of Sylvester had that tattoo carved on their skin. “You ar

    “My Lord, we have gotten our hands on Liliana's sister Lucia. But she knows nothing about Liliana's whereabouts. What should we do with her My L...”“Kill her.” Seated on his armchair in a loose white crisp shirt and smoking a cigarette close to the window in his study Sylvester muttered without a beat and with no emotions. If there was no leads with her on Liliana then it was best to eliminate her sister.“No, wait!” His elder half brother Danilo who was also present in Sylvester's study was quick to take the phone from the table. “Wait. Don't kill her just yet. We want every piece of information on that woman. She is Liliana's sister and we want Liliana at all costs.” Sylvester heaved a deep breath and shut his eyes. Hearing Liliana's name was like awakening the dumb and foolish man that he was when it came to Liliana. It was no secret to everyone in Sylvester's close circle that he had lost his heart to one of the strippers named Liliana in one of his most elite clubs in the posh

    Lucia could hardly move nor even tell what was happening with her. The only thing she knew was that her body was being carried by two of Sylvester's men. Her eyes were very hazy and her face hurts very badly because of the punch she received. “W-where are you...taking...me?” Her worried voice was barely out in a whisper as she was forced inside a van. The neighbors and people out on the street close to the building all had their eyes fixed on the men who hurriedly threw a petite figure inside their van. Again another victim of Sylvester King and they all knew that person's fate was sealed for both torture and death. “P-please....l-let me go...” Lucia's eyes were barely able to open halfway. Her back hurts. Her shoulders and her face all hurts at the same time. Even a harsh headache was surfacing. Before she lost her consciousness she wanted them to let her go. She knew where she was being taken to. To her death and she didn't even know why. She still couldn't puzzle out the connecti

    Lucia whimpered feeling a wet thing tickle her skin. Her nose sniffed out something different. A mix of strong tobacco smell with a tint of raw air freshener. A masculine scent which she wasn't familiar of. As if dawning hard on her she quickly opened her eyes only to have her breathing ceased. She couldn't believe he was almost on top of her. His tongue was licking behind her ear. She immediately started to shiver as her breathing was now turning harsh. Sylvester sensed her body and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. A deep smile came on his lips while Lucia couldn't stop looking at him. As if she wasn't ever going to blink. She tried to move away but quickly hissed with a whimper again. Looking down she found the gunshot on her thigh had her whole lap soaked in her blood. She was in excruciating pain and had to bit her mouth. Even the now hot room didn't stop her from shivering. She was sure she was going to bleed to death soon. Not only that but Lucia also found both her

    “Marry me.”Sylvester quickly turned around to look at her. Her merely two words were enough to make his eyes to show a bit of surprise and anger at the same time. Who was she to fucking demand he should marry her. Did she think he didn't have better options when it comes to finding a woman for himself. Then she must think he's stupid. In sheer anger Sylvester walked back to the bed and pointed the gun at her. This time he made sure to press the gun against her temple. Lucia was no doubt terrified. “How dare you fucking disrespect me? You are nothing yet to even think to offer such a proposition to me.” Lucia gulped witnessing his rage. Her heart was pounding and could burst out from her ribcage. She needed to think and act fast at the same time or she was gonna be a goner. “Sylvester think about this. She's Liliana's sister. They practically resemble each other. Some of our relatives have seen Liliana in the few pictures. Choosing just any random woman as your bride won't cut it.”

    Lucia stared at her reflection while sitting on a stool with the long oval mirror in front of her. She looked beautiful no doubt. Her lipstick was a fine red hue. Her hair was let loose with pink petals made into a hairpin. There was a bouquet of pink roses in her hands while she dared not to move because of her plastered thigh. The female servants were busy in now wearing her veil. One could tell that despite the full makeup done on her face she still looked gloomy and sad. Anyone around her would instantly tell that her aura was of that of a lost and sad kitten. None of the staffs spoke to her and Lucia preferred the silence and just allowed them to do their work. She only did talk whenever she felt some discomfort on her bandaged thigh. Lucia couldn't think of any other reason as to why Sylvester would want to marry a nobody like her. She never thought he would accept her proposal. After all he didn't know her nor where she came from. Or did he? No. Lucia thought and was quick to

    Lucia could recall the hard blow to her belly. And, now she felt painful cramps under her abdomen. She still couldn't digest the fact that this was happening. But what could she do. Absolutely nothing. “We have all gathered here to join two souls together in a union. These two souls will pledge to themselves loyalty which is the most important factor in a marriage. Today I thank everyone who is present today to witness their togetherness. These two are to pledge out their duties especially the bride who goes by the name of Lucia Colleen. Are you aware of your pledge and duties, Ms Lucia?” The priest asked. Lucia nodded her head and replied. “I do.” “Ms Lucia. Do you accept here at this altar and in front of so many that your soon to be husband will be by far your superior. He will be your master and you are to obey his very word and command. To always please him and never ever leave this marriage no matter the circumstances until death takes you away from him.” Lucia knew the whole

    Some of the guests came up to the altar to personally congratulate the newly wedded couple. Lucia had their breath in her throat and had to constantly force out a smile to receive the guests. Sylvester enjoyed her situation and didn't refrain from shamelessly groping her behind in front of everyone. Lucia had to admit her new life had just began right now. This wasn't what she intended and planned but this was where her life had led her to. She was more unfortunate than ever and she knew this since the day her home and family was lost. Still, she couldn't help but wonder how this man beside her who was her husband would treat her. She knew he was a beast to everyone but she also didn't know what he was actually like as a husband. It was a new Territory for both of them. “Come with me. And, don't forget to smile angel.” Sylvester led Lucia to meet some of the important guests that had come from far and wide just to be present at Sylvester's wedding. Lucia got to meet Sylvester's rela

  • His Captive Angel   Epilogue

    A week had passed. “Eat.” Lucia said, raising the spoon in her hand and looked at Lucius, her tone more like an order and Lucius smiled, liking to being pampered by his daughter for seven whole days. In all these days, Lucia made sure he took his medications on time, had his meals on time and also made sure he didn't need to get out of his room. “I'm full now, dear.” Lucius couldn't eat anymore and smiled when his grandson, Lucca showed his smile to his grandfather. “He's been more active ever since you woke up, dad. I think he missed your company a lot.” Lucia smiled, watching her baby boy play with his grandpa. Lucius inhaled softly. “You really shouldn't be feeding me right now, dear. Remember, you only just came out of a coma only two weeks ago. The maids can do this.” Lucia raised a brow. “Oh really now? Last time I let the maids feed you when I had to breastfeed Lucca, you barely had three to four bites, and your mere presence alone scared the maids out of the room. So n

    The days went by and each second were more than agonizing for Sylvester. Each passing breath that went in and exited out through his nostrils was painful, heart wrenching. He stared at Lucia for hours on end, choosing not to leave her side for even a slight urge to get a glass of water. His eyes were both puffy and red, his tear glands had totally dried up completely from shedding many tears for his angel. Today was the second day in Lucia's comatose state. The doctor had informed she might wake up at any time, be it in a few days, weeks, months or even years or probably never wake up again. The thought caused Sylvester rampage to happen inside of him. The room was eerily silent but inside him were filled with countless chaos disturbing his entire senses. He held her pale soft hands in his, his heart in turmoil and waiting for her to open her eyes and stare at him again. He knew he couldn't go on without his angel, nothing else fucking mattered in this world. Sylvester was so engro

    “What did you think, Sylvester? That you can escape this island with your wife after causing me to make a grave for my daughter!” Lucius roared at the end, his expression covered with grief and anger. Sylvester shook his head in denial, “Godfather...my wife isn't responsible at all for that woman's death. You know her,” “I don't know a damn thing! All I know is my daughter was brutally murdered! She was fucking stabbed like a nobody in a damn restroom like she was some dog!” Lucius roared back, his scream made Lucia tug tightly on Sylvester's suit. Her eyes welling up and sobbing behind him. “I understand that you're hurt right now, Godfather...” Lucius cut him off with a growl, “No Sylvester! You wouldn't understand because you are yet to have a child of your own! But I've just lost mine after finding out about her just a few days ago!” Sylvester eyed around them, from all sides, guns were pointed at them and behind him, he could hear Lucia sobbing hard, she was scared and terr

    Sylvester smiled at Mr Jerry who Lucius introduced him to, as well as Mr Franklin, Mr Castillo and Mr Montegrona. They were currently seated in a meeting only for the men, solely to discuss and expand their businesses. Sylvester was uncomfortable with Jonathan also present in the room and often met his gaze, the smirk seen on Jonathan's face telling him that things were going to change from now on. “So what do you think, Mr King? How is the proposal my assistant pitched to you, are we in business?” Mr Castillo looked thoughtfully at Sylvester while playing with his thick beard. Sylvester hummed, thinking of the proposal, besides weapons smuggling and drugs, Sylvester was never interested in anything business related but he also couldn't deny the offer Mr Castillo offered was very tempting. It could benefit both sides and increase their strongholds in the US government and in Asia as well. “What do you think, Godfather?” Sylvester turned his head towards Lucius and the old man smile

    Sylvester was having a talk with few important delegates who were also invited to Lucius' grand party. Sylvester smiled admitting he liked the island a lot when from the corner of his eyes stood Clara, she was a couple distance away from where Sylvester was standing with three men. Clara winked at him from across the hall, the glass in her right hand raised up while she looked straight at Sylvester. “Hmm, I think the Godfather's daughter already has an interest in you,” Mr Linus stated with a mischievous smile while having his drink. Sylvester only shooked his head with a smile and swirling the glass in his hands, he wasn't a fool to not have seen it in her eyes from the moment Lucius introduced the two of them. The woman had audacity and didn't even bother to hide her interest despite having a man she was to marry soon. “You are probably just seeing things, there's no way. She's almost engaged and tomorrow is her engagement party. Although that man she wants to be with looks m

    Lucia felt like the fancy burgundy colored rug had been removed right off her feet the moment her eyes met Jonathan's. Her chest heaved a little but then when Jonathan's eyes met hers, the smile widening on his face only made Lucia frown. She glared back at him - there was no way she was going to show him her fear, on the contrary he was the one to show her fear.“Isn't that?...” Sylvester held her arm. Lucia nodded immediately, bile rising up her throat. “He's Jonathan, that...bastard!” Lucia gritted, suddenly feeling uncomfortable to be seated in the hall. “How is he here?” Sylvester couldn't hide his shock either and could feel something sinister was playing under the tables. He clenched his jaw but then only looked at Lucia. “Let's leave from here, you aren't feeling well.” He got his arm around her back before the sound of glass flutes kinking echoed, both Jonathan and Clara toasting to their union.“I'll be fine on my own.” Lucia said but Sylvester shooked his head. “You have

    FOUR MONTHS LATER... “Still nothing?...What the fuck are you people doing!” Sylvester gritted over the phone. “It's been months now and still no single news about Jonathan nor about the person trying to harm my wife?” Sylvester's knuckles had turned white before he slammed it on his desk. “Oh come on! It's not like they hid outside the fucking planet! They must be hiding somewhere, under a damn rock or something! But definitely somewhere around this world! And, I fucking want results. I'm getting damn impatient with you fucking idiots.” Sylvester hanged up the call before tossing the phone against the wall. He held his head with both hands before going into deep thoughts. All these months hiding the truth from Lucia was harder than he thought. Just yesterday he spoke with Lucius and the thought that he had his daughter with him was unspeakable. The man didn't even know he had a daughter who existed and Sylvester knew it was wrong to hide such a matter from both father and daughte

    Lucia raised up a confused brow. “Leave? Did something come up, I can tell you look tense.” Lucia got her arms on his shoulders while Sylvester only heaved out a deep sigh. “Yes angel. I won't say that something didn't come up. I don't want to lie to you but I can't tell you what it is right now. Just know that we have to cancel our trip short.” Sylvester said and Lucia gulped, her expression fallen but then she raised her head up and smiled at Sylvester. “I won't ask you anything, I trust you a lot, my love.” Sylvester pulled her into a deep kiss and when they pulled away, Lucia asked. “When are we heading back?” “This evening. As soon as possible. I'll have everything organized, you just get the things you need, angel.” Sylvester replied before kissing her forehead and went ahead, leaving Lucia to sigh out alone. She really didn't want to leave now but she had no choice. Going back to Russia was sure to cause some uneasiness back to her. She couldn't help but fall in love with B
