I heard a gunshot and still kept my eyes closed. Death is not that painful I guess, cause I wasn't feeling a thing. “Oh my God, Yoshim you're bleeding!” I heard Gail yell.
My eyes shot open and I saw Yoshim's arm bleeding. I looked behind me and saw a lot of huge men running towards us. Even if Yoshim doesn't kill me, I'm sure I'll get a heart attack from all of these. “Sir, we're outnumbered, we have to leave.” One of the guys spoke. They quickly carried Kay and tried to pull me but there was another gunshot. The guys let go of me and ran off. I sat on the floor covered my ears with my hand and shuddered in fear. The footsteps kept on getting nearer and nearer. I didn't want to run with Yoshim's men, he just tried to kill me. I would rather be killed by strangers than be killed by the people I love. Manly hands grabbed me and I screamed on aat top of my lungs. I wiggled and squirmed trying to escape from their grips. They got near a black van and pushed me inside. “Who are you people, what do you want from me?” I inquired but they just stayed silent. My life is so shitty, I escaped trouble just to land in another one. “Fucking answer me, you dimwits!” I kicked the car seat and tried to open it, but the guys immediately held me down. They held my hand above my head and brought a handkerchief closer to my nose, I knew what that was. I kicked my legs and struggled with them. “Guys, be careful don't hurt her. Boss wants her unharmed” One of the guys suddenly spoke. My brows furrowed in confusion, which boss? What does he want from me? I got distracted and didn't realise they had pressed the handkerchief on my nose again. I breathed in the chlorophyll and my eyelids suddenly became heavy, my body became numb and I blacked out. I woke up to a beautifully arranged room. The colour preference and the interior were just my style. I kept looking around when my eyes landed on a man with broad shoulders. He was facing the wall with his hands in his pockets. My heart started to beat violently in my chest. He turned slowly and I gasped. It was the guy from the club with a mysterious aura. His eyes roamed my body and his gaze stopped at my thighs. I looked down and realised my skirt was pushed up revealing my thighs and pantie. I quickly covered up and awkwardly fixed my hair. “Pervert,” I said under my breath. He gave a half smile and a dimple appeared. “Who are you?” I said while standing up from the bed. He walked closer to me while observing my every movement. “If you're doing this to get money from Yoshim it won't work. Just let me go, I have a lot of things to do.” His eyebrows rose and his forehead drew a line. “What if I said I want something more than that?” He jerked me into reality with his raspy voice. “What do you mean?” my eyes darted as I folded my arms on my chest. “I want you.” He said with a serious expression. I burst out laughing. “Oh my God, what the fuck do you mean? Am I a thing? You kidnap someone and this is the nonsense you're saying? Let me go or I'll call the police.” I said with a straight face. He walked past me pulled out a chair, sat down and crossed his leg on the other. “I knew you'd refuse.” A smirk played at the corner of his lips. “I have a proposal for you, that'll help you get out of your miserable life.” I blinked when he said that. “What proposal?” “Marry me, and I'll save you from your miserable life. From your abusive boyfriend and your shitty family, I can make you happy again.” “How the fuck do you know all that, are you a stalker?” my expression hardened as I looked at him. He sat there unbothered while staring at me. “I won't marry you, let me go and I promise not to involve the police.” A laugh escaped his lips when I said that. “Hillary, I'm just trying to save you. You have no one to depend on, you're all alone in this world. You can't return to your boyfriend because he'll kill you, and what, the police? When were they reliable?” “Okay who the fuck are you and how the hell do you know so much about me?” “What if I told you I could help you get revenge on those that wronged you? Your father, your sister and your boyfriend, and also keep you safe. Just sign my marriage contract.” My breath hitched when he said that. I've been betrayed and hurt deeply by the people I loved and cherished. I had nowhere to go, I needed to accept this even though it was rushed. I looked at him and he had a satisfied look written on his face. Why am I even starting to trust a stranger? But why did he want to marry me? “How long does the contract marriage last? Why me?” The corners of his mouth curved into a smile. “1 year, I'm just really fond of you.” I stood there and thought deeply. “I can give you some time to think about…” “I'll sign it.” I cut him off. He smiled and his cute dimple appeared again. “Now we're talking, I always knew you were smart.” He said confidently with a pleased smile. He took out his phone and typed something on it. Someone entered the room and brought a file. I looked at him closely and realised he was the guy at the club with this weirdo. He left after delivering the file. “Come sign these Freckles.” He said while handing me a pen. I walked slowly and took the pen from his hands. I stared at the paper for a while. I don't know what I'm getting myself into but I'd do anything to be away from Yoshim. I'll do anything for him to pay for what he did to me and my child. “I'll sign this only on one condition.” His face changed to something else. “Tell me.” “Let's only act like couples outside and live our normal lives when we're inside.” He tilted his head while scrutinising me. “Alright, I'll never touch you without your permission.” I took a deep breath and signed the contract. “Aren't you going to read the contents?” He asked. “No, I just need you to fulfil your promise.” he smiled again and the cute dimple appeared. “You're officially my wife now.”“What will you benefit from this marriage?” his eyes narrowed when I said this. “You'll soon find out.” “How are you going to get revenge?” “Patience Freckles, patience.” “What is your name?” He walked closer to me and stood just a few inches away from me. I could inhale his strong cologne “Rodrigo Sango Mrs Sango.” He smirked after saying that.His name sounded familiar but I didn't know where I had heard it. He held my shoulders and pulled me closer to him.My head went blank when I came so close to him. I could feel my cheeks redden. “You need new clothes, what's your size?” He said while observing my body.I just kept on blinking while looking at him. “Snap out of it Freckles, you look like a tomato.” I immediately looked away embarrassed and covered my face with my palm. He chuckled softly. “I'll have them deliver clothes to you soon.” He took my hand and kissed it 3 times before he left.I let out a laugh of disbelief. Can my life get any worse now?The wedding was quick and
He pulled away and caressed my cheek as he stared at me. The crowd looked at us while murmuring.“Resume what you were doing, I'm done with my announcement.” Everyone turned their gazes away from us.How is he controlling almost everyone here? Yoshim can not even do this. At first, I thought Rodrigo was in a gang, but after living with him these few days, I realised he was much different from Yoshim.His voice was authoritative and intimidating. My gaze shifted to the furious Paloma, who was still looking at us.“I know this is fake, you can't marry this slut.” “Shut up Paloma, know your place. Get the fuck off my face before I let my men drag you away.” He said angrily. “You'll regret this.” Paloma walked away.I kept on blinking while looking at Rodrigo, I was so not used to this side of him. “Hey cousin, your wife is beautiful.” A tall-haired guy approached us.“Hello, mamacita…” Rodrigo held the arm he wanted to shake me with. “Keep your hands to yourself or I'll cut them off.” Ro
I rushed outside when I realised that Hillary wasn't in the room. I felt uneasy while I searched for her in the huge building but couldn't find her.Beads of sweat started to form on my forehead.That is when I remembered that there was a garden here. I ran towards the garden and when I got there, I heard her scream like never before. I walked closer and saw Angelo on top of her. I don't know why Angelo always wants my women, this was the same thing he did with Paloma. He seduced her and got her to sleep with him. My blood boiled when I heard how he laughed when Hillary yelled.I went closer to where they were and yanked him off her. He looked at me with a smile on his face, and I wanted to peel that smile off his face. I couldn't control myself and landed heavy blows on his face. I broke his nose, and he looked at me in disbelief. I rolled my sleeves up and landed him more blows when he fell.I got on top of him, about to land him more blows, when I heard Hillary scream that I sh
Rodrigo was getting ready for a meeting with Fabio. It was a family meeting where they weighed which group was performing better. This family meeting was crucial because it determined who would get more power.“Are you going to tell her?” Fabio broke the awkward silence. “Tell her what?”“The real reason you're marrying her.” Rodrigo sighed while buttoning his shirt. “Is it necessary? She'll eventually find out”“Do you think she'll stay after she finds out?” “I can't tell her right now, I might lose her.”I heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” Greta, the housekeeper, entered. “Sir, I've been knocking nonstop on Mrs Hillary's door, but she's not opening.”Rodrigo walked out of the room and made his way towards Hillary's room. He knocked twice. He stood there for some time and knocked the third time.He tried opening the door, but it was locked. He knocked again, and there was still no response. He got impatient and scared. He immediately called the housekeeper to bring him the spare
“Fuck, I forgot about the meeting.” I immediately grabbed my phone and called Fabio. “There's a problem boss. Did you shoot Angelo?”“Yes, and?” “Well, I didn't know you shot him, and you didn't tell me. We've lost the KL warehouse to him as compensation.”“What? He fucking touched my wife.” “Well, you weren't here to clarify that, so they thought you guys got into an argument and you shot him. He also said you attacked him.”“Is the meeting over?” “Almost.” “Tell them I'm on my way.” There's no fucking way I'm losing a warehouse to that scumbag. I hurriedly dressed up, got into my car and drove off.I arrived at my parent's. I walked in, ignoring all the judgemental stares. I finally got inside the meeting room, and immediately I entered, everyone turned to look at me.The place became dead silent as I walked to my seat. I looked at my father and bowed my head to him. “You can't give Angelo my warehouse he doesn't deserve it., I said with a clenched jaw.“Rodrigo, have some respect
Hillary pov I decided to take a stroll around the house since I was so bored. I stumbled upon Rodrigo's office, and it was unlocked. Maybe he was in a hurry and left it open. I wanted to pass by, but something was just pushing me to enter and explore, and of course, I listened to that something. The interior was boring, it was grey and dull. There was a huge table and there were some files on it.I went closer to the table and ran my hand on the files. I sat in his chair and noticed there were drawers. I tried opening it, but they were locked. I scanned the files and fished out one. I started to read the contents, and my eyes widened. “What the fuck?” My hands started to tremble as I continued to read. Just then, Rodrigo's door flung open and I was met with his eyes.He looked at my trembling figure and later looked at what was causing that. He immediately walked towards me and snatched the file.“What are you doing in my office?” He roared. “W…what is…”“I said what the hell are
Rodrigo Pov I walked to her and looked at her intently. I was just a few inches away from her. I brought my hand and caressed her face.I started to trail my fingers from her face to her neck. She shivered when I did that. “What are you doing? Don't touch me.” She said in almost a whisper. I knew she was still mad at me for yelling at her yesterday. I suddenly pulled her closer to me, and she gasped at the sudden contact. Her face turned red, and she looked everywhere but into my eyes. I held her thighs and carried her in a way that she'd straddle me. I walked to the bed and sat down with her on top of me.I brushed the strands of wet hair on her face and brought my lips to her neck. She made a soft moan and gripped my shirt.I kissed and nibbled on her neck, and she struggled to keep in her moans. She gently pushed me away, but I went in again. I pulled her robe up to get access to her thighs and started to caress it gently. She shuddered in pleasure.I flipped her, and she was
Hillary Pov My attention was drawn to the door when I heard a knock. I was met with Rodrigo's annoying handsome face.If only he knew how pissed I was at him, he wouldn't be here.“We're having dinner together, come to the dining area?” I scoffed and he raised a brow."Why should have dinner with you?” I was about to close the door when he stopped it with his hand.“It's not a request. Be there in 30 minutes.” He said and walked away.“He's so rude and arrogant.” I said with an annoyed tone and closed my door. Rodrigo was only sweet to me when I was hurt or in pain. What an asshole. I looked through my closet and picked a maxi dress. I put my hair in a messy bun and left. I walked to the kitchen and saw Greta cooking. “Can I help?” I asked Greta.“Oh no no Mrs Hillary.” She said with a worried and scared tone. “Don't worry Greta, I want to help.” “Por favour, I'll finish then serve you soon.” Greta spoke in a thick Spanish accent. But I wasn't giving up. “No Greta, if you don't
