Hillary PovI sat in the kitchen as I waited for Greta to finish cooking. “Mrs Hillary, you can go to your room, I'll bring it to you.”“I'm fine, Greta; I'm just bored in my room.” She nodded timidly and resumed what she was doing. Why isn't Rodrigo contacting me even after saying he'd contact me? That lying son of a bitch. “Ppft, why do I even care.” “Did you say somethin', Mrs Hillary?” “Oh, no Greta.” Men are such liars, especially Rodrigo. How do you suddenly leave your wife and forget to contact her? “Greta, bring the food to my room.” I walked out of the kitchen and headed to my room. Why am I feeling his absence so much? “Ugh,” I grunted while pulling my hair lightly. I walked to my closet and scanned my clothes. There are some clothes I've never worn before. I grabbed a short maxi dress and slipped it on. Where am I going? I have no idea, I just want to leave this place, I feel suffocated. I put my hair in a messy bun, letting two strands of hair fall on my sides. I w
Rodrigo Pov I stood there while staring at Gordon with bloodshot eyes. “What's so bad about sharing your little toy? You have a lot of girls you fool around with. Why won't you let this one go?” Gordon asked while blowing smoke from his cigarette. A smirk played at the corner of my lips, and I loosened my tie. “You want to play this game, huh?” He raised a brow, confused at what I just said.Before he could retaliate or order his men, I threw needles that perfectly pierced his biceps. Not just any needles, venomous needles. He let out a scream as he held his hand. “What the fuck man?” “Tell your men to put their weapons down or you'll die.” “Listen to him and put your fucking weapons down!” He said while screaming in agony.The needle is not only venomous, it inflicts a large amount of pain and in no time it paralyses you.The guys immediately dropped their weapons. The venom is travelling through your bloodstream right now, and in exactly 5 minutes you'll drop dead.Let's finish
CHAPTER 16Rodrigo When there's an emergency—which there is right now—I always take my private jet. "Where will we find her, Rodrigo?" Fabio queried."Write to the boys, telling them to meet at the place I'm going to give you," I said in a firm tone. “Indeed, boss.” We flew for hours before making our landing. We hopped into a car that was waiting for us at the airport and headed out. "Go there quickly; I sent you the address." He gave a bashful nod, appearing perplexed. I became more and more nervous as we travelled for roughly twenty minutes. Why is Hillary revealing aspects of myself that I was unaware of?The thought of someone touching her makes my skin crawl. “There's a house opposite where the boys are waiting to tell them to invade the house. Tell them they can kill anyone they want.” My fists balled alongside me as I battled to contain my rage.Fabio immediately fished out his phone and sent the message. Looks like everyone is in such a hurry to taste my woman. I scoffed
Hillary Pov I bit my fingernails nervously as I sat on my bed. After all, I did disobey him. "Why is he taking so long, ugh?" With a moan, I collapsed onto my bed. I was dying of anticipation. "Hillary." I got a shiver down my spine as I heard his deep, harsh voice. I was scared when Rodrigo called me Hillary instead of Freckles. I stepped quickly and turned the knob. His dark blue eyes were filled with rage. His chiselled jaw tightened, giving him an even more menacing appearance. His attire appeared to have altered, as he was now dressed in grey sweatpants and a sweater. He loomed large over me. I hurriedly shut the door behind him as he went inside.I continued to fidget with my fingers as I stood by the entrance. All I could hear in the completely silent room was my laboured breathing. "I, Rodrigo... "Hillary, why are you so stubborn?" He said calmly, too calmly. "Are you aware of how much trouble this immature act has caused you?" He did not even look at me. With careful st
Rodrigo Pov Seeing Hillary squirm under me has always been my fantasy. I was very angry at her a while ago but now, all I wanted to do was fuck her till daybreak. She lay there with her flushed cheeks as she breathed heavily, her chest going up and down.I took off my shirt and positioned myself in between her legs. She blinked slowly and looked up at me. “Do you want me to fuck you?” I asked without breaking eye contact. She gave me a shy nod while diverting her gaze, and it only made her hotter.“I've told you freckles when I ask you a question, you speak.” She nibbled on her bottom lip and finally parted her lips to talk. “Yes, please fuck me.” She said shyly with her reddened face. A smile appeared on my face.I opened her legs wider and she looked at me with pleading eyes. “Calm down Freckles, just relax.” She took in deep breaths and looked at me in anticipation. I couldn't stall any longer, I wanted to be inside her so bad. I've struggled to not pounce on her all this whil
Hillary Pov I opened my eyes slowly, yawning and stretching. I looked to my side and realised that Rodrigo had already left. A smile appeared on my lips when I remembered last night. That feeling was so new to me. For the first time, I enjoyed sex. I giggled while covering my reddened face with my hands. He was so gentle, yet so rough. “Ugh, maybe too rough.” I winced at the sudden pain I felt in my abdomen. I hopped off my bed and took a cold shower. I wrapped my towel around me and stepped out of the shower, entered the room, and immediately jumped back. “Fuck, you scared me.” He only smiled mischievously and stared at me. “I brought you breakfast.” “Since when did you become Greta?” I leaned on the wall while giving him a questioning look. He smiled and a cute dimple appeared. I keep on forgetting that Rodrigo has a dimple because he doesn't smile much. “Rodrigo, how did you know where I was yesterday?” I needed to know because I was genuinely curious about how
Unknown Pov“He was killed?” “Yes sir.” “And the girl?” “Also killed, sir.” I heaved a sigh while pinching my forehead. “Imbeciles, I can't rely on anyone.” I fidgeted with the ring on my finger. “Leave, I'll call you when I need something.” “Yes sir.” “Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. Looks like I underestimated Rodrigo.” A smirk played at the corner of my lips. “I'll make sure my next attack will be brutal.” Hillary Pov Rodrigo finally stopped at a huge restaurant. “This is where we're coming?” “Yes Freckles, our first official date.” I smiled at his cheekiness. “This is what you couldn't say earlier?” He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned closer to me to unbuckle mine.He got down and opened the door for me. He held my waist as we walked to the restaurant. We got inside, and the place was empty. “Rodrigo, why is the place empty?” “I booked the whole place.” He said it was the most normal thing. My eyes widened. “Why?” “I don't really like crowded places.” I blinked while slight
Rodrigo PovI am unable to live in peace if there are unscrupulous people hunting me. I have no idea who is following us, but I don't care. I just know that I'm going to murder this motherfucker. I quickly manoeuvred around the yacht, clocked my rifle, and tried not to be noticed. The boat began to move quickly all of a sudden, dammit he's seen me.I fired more shots at the boat, but it continued to float away. Enraged, I tossed down my rifle and began to pace up and down. "Rodrigo." Hillary's soft voice reached me.She was looking at me, but her expression was hard for me to read. "Is everything okay?" Her voice was shaky as she asked.“Freckles, yes, everything is alright.” She followed her gaze to the rifle lying on the ground and continued to stare at it. I moved forward to kiss her on the cheeks. “Hey, you don't need to worry about anything as long as I'm here, alright?” With a small nod, I drew her in and gave her an embrace. She sniffed at me and held me close. I'm not sure w
Things had quieted down after my father's funeral. Hillary didn't want to leave Dahlia's side for even a second. I'm very proud of her for what she did with Kay. She's not the scared little girl I met in the club anymore. She's now a woman who would kill for her child. “Freckles,” she turned to look at me. “I want to take you out on a date,” I said to her while walking closer. She smiled widely and pulled me in for a hug. “Where are we going?” She asked while giggling like a little girl. “That's not for you to think about; just look pretty and let me spend the money.” Her face turned red with my statement, and she bowed her head to hide her flushed face. It's so funny how she still behaves like a little girl around me. I handed her a brand-new dress. It was a red dress that fitted her perfectly, showcasing her curves. She got a little belly fat after Dahlia, and I love it. I mostly grab it because it feels so squishy. She said she hated it, but I loved it. The dress was d
Rodrigo Pov My phone rang. I pulled it out, and it was an unknown number. I looked at Fabio and then back to Hillary. I accepted the call and put it on speaker. “Rodrigo.” A male voice called; I recognised this voice.“Kay!” Hillary yelled. “Kay, if you have my baby, I swear to God that I'll kill you.” She threatened him.He only let out a throaty laugh. “Shouldn't you be watching that tone if you know that I have your baby?” “Kilian, you better count your fucking days.”“Shut up, Rodrigo; I want to talk to only Hillary. Listen, baby, we can still be together, just ditch this piece of trash, and we'll be together.”“Leave my baby out of this. She has nothing to do with this.”“I'll leave her on one condition.” “What is it?” She asked while breathing heavily. “Return to me. Once you do that, I'll let her go, but if not, I'll bring back your baby's dead body.” She gasped in disbelief. “I'll do it.” “Hillary,” I said angrily. “Just promise me that you'll give her back to me.” I s
I nodded and made my way downstairs. I knew this day would come but didn't know when. How did she even find me?Why is she even here? We severed ties a long time ago when she decided to choose a man over me. Not just any man, my tormenter, the man who brought great misery and pain to my life.The man who scarred me so badly that I still haven't gotten over it. She betrayed me for him, and now she's here, and for what?I reached the hall, and my heart leapt when I saw the state she was in. She did a horrible thing to me, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten that she's my sister, I grew up with her, she's my blood, and I can't change that.She looks so lean and malnourished that she has dark circles under her eyes. She has scars all over her hands and feet. She also cut her long hair into a bob.Her eyes travelled to mine and immediately started tearing. “Hillary, oh my God, I'm so glad I found you.” She said as she hurried to my side. Just before she could touch me, I moved backwards,
Hillary povDahlia kept on giggling as I swung her toys around her. The toys made a jiggling noise, and it made her laugh as she kicked her hands and her feet in the air. I'm happy to have her. She has healed a part of me that refused to heal. She made me forget that I had an ugly past. All I want to do is to protect her and to love her unconditionally. Rodrigo loves her so much. I thought he would've been angry or would've pushed me away for lying to him, but he wasn't.He tries his best to help me with Hillary, but he sucks at it. He's also very afraid to hold her, but whenever he does, he doesn't want to let her go.Where is he, though? He left in the morning, and it's almost 8 pm; why isn't he back yet? Did something happen at home? Or is he in a meeting?My thoughts were distorted when I heard his car come in. Dahlia was even falling asleep, the nerve of this girl. She sleeps anytime she wants and wakes up any time, crying like we're abusing her.Her bed is small, and beside ou
Rodrigo Pov Hillary suddenly broke the kiss and stared into the thin air.“Is everything alright?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Dahlia is crying.” She said while shoving me off her. I looked at her with disbelief as she scooted off the bed. I scoffed and sat up. A smile crept to my lips, and I got dressed. “Guess I'm not getting laid tonight. Sleep down hard-on.” I looked at my growing erection and went on to dress up. Having Hillary by my side felt surreal. Was it a dream or my imagination? Even if it is, I pray I never wake up. Her presence filled me with some type of energy I thought I never needed. She did bring colour to my black and white life, something I thought wasn't possible. Before I met her, I thought I'd never use the statement ‘I love you’ but here I am, always wanting to express my love to her in a million ways.She has now increased my joy by bearing my child, something I never dreamt of in the past. I despised children, I didn't want to have any because
Rodrigo Pov “You… you're alive.” Hillary said with tears brimming in her eyes. She brought her hand closer to my face and I leaned into it.“Yes, I'm alive.” I said with a smile on my face. She held my hand and caressed it softly. “Were you hurt? Is everything alright with you?” She asked with concern all over her face.She looked a bit scared, like I'd disappear if she blinked. She kept on observing me. “Yes I'm fine, just a few scrapes, but I'll be fine.” She wrapped her hands around my neck and engulfed me in a warm hug. I froze for a split second, I was shocked that she just hugged me. Mainly because the last time I remember she hated me and pushed me away.I wrapped my hands around her, deepening the hug. I missed it, and I needed it so bad. I buried my face in the nook of her neck, inhaling her sweet aroma that I missed so much.Being like this wasn't even enough for me, I wanted her closer, I needed her, I wanted her and I miss her. My life felt empty and useless when I lost
*FLASHBACK* Hillary opened her eyes slowly and saw him. “Ro…Rodrigo?” “I love you, Hillary.” He smiled at her and grabbed the bomb, running away. The smile almost looked like a goodbye smile. Hillary realised what he was doing. “RODRIGO NOOO, DON'T.” Rodrigo ran as fast as he could, throwing the bomb far away, but he was close to it. The impact of the bomb exploding was so intense that it knocked him off the building, landing him elsewhere and badly injured. Fabio got to where he lay and swiftly carried him, ordering his men to attend to the now unconscious Hillary. He drove him to one of his secret apartments where he was being taken care of. Rodrigo had been unconscious for a long time, but the doctor assured him that he'd wake up. Fabio knew what he had to do. If Louis or any of their enemies found out that he's hurt, they're going to attack the empire. He knew that it was a hard decision, and it was going to leave a lot of people heartbroken, especially Hillary, but he
The room where she was being kept inside was neat and presentable. Hillary's body felt a bit weak because of the childbirth. Maids would enter her room once in a while to bring her a tray of food.All this felt like a bad dream, and somewhere in her heart, she was praying she'd wake up from this terrible dream. The maids brought her baby accessories for Dahlia. What would happen if Louis arrived before Fabio? What does he even intend to do with her? These questions flooded her mind as she sat on the bed.That day, she didn't get a wink of sleep the whole night. She kept on thinking about what would happen later. Would she really have to marry him to keep Dahlia alive? Is this where she'll end up?Her mind was clouded with all these thoughts as the morning came. She sat beside Dahlia, who was awake but didn't cry. She just looked at her mother. “Don't worry, my love, I won't let you go through anything I went through, I'll protect you until my last breath.” She said softly as she sta
“Just take the empire, take everything. We don't need to shed more blood.” Diaz spoke with a mild voice. He didn't want any more war. He was tired.Louis walked around with his hands behind his back. Fabio looked at him very carefully, his eyes not leaving him one bit. He was observing every little movement he made.“Okay, old man. I won't kill the little demon, but…” Diaz looked at him with hope in his eyes, hoping that he would just stop all this nonsense. “I'll just take the mother as compensation, yeah? Yeah? No bloodshed, everyone will be fine.” Fabio's eyes twitched at his statement, clearly annoyed at what he just suggested. “You are out of your mind, Hillary isn't part of the property. She will not be passed on to you. You are crazy.” “Silence! Then maybe I should just kill her and her wretched child. Will that be okay, huh? Will it?” Louis walked closer to Fabio. He grabbed his face roughly and forced him to look into his eyes. “You have such a sharp tongue, I hate it. Ma
