Like arsenic, his toxicity slowly killed me. And I welcomed it...
I fucking hate incompetent people. I'm completely disgusted by them. I kick the body aside so I can pass. There's blood on my shoes belonging to my head of security, now dead.If you asked me he deserved it. I gave him one job, one fucking job and he messed it up.My phone keeps buzzing incessantly with messages and notifications.I glance at it and sigh too scared to open it in fear that I won't be able to stop myself from going over to her place and see how she's doing. But mostly because I'll look for every person involved with humiliating her and then kill them.Death was always the first solution.I could stop it if I want, one call and I have It all vanished from the internet.But the sick twisted person I am, I want to punish her. Even though I can't do it physically, the little pain she's getting although not inflicted by me, sadly, does little to soothe the burning anger in me.I travel for a week and she decides that she wants to give her virginity to that cunt she's been dating.Technically I let her date him. I can't count how many times I've had to distract myself from killing him.The number of times I've smashed my phone against the wall when I see the number of texts he sends to her, filthy ones included.That child thinks he can have what is mine.I'm not a patient man, at all. But for Nova, I'll be patient. For as long as it takes.The time is ticking though, there's only so much I can take.I glance back at the screen on my laptop. The bedroom is empty, I decide not to panic and just check the entire house first. I click on the kitchen camera, it's empty. So are the bathroom, the living room, and the balcony.She's not home!"Angelo!" I yell for my new head of security"Capo""Qualcuno dei nostri uomini è a casa sua?"(Are any of our men at her house?) I"No, capo," he says almost in a whisper"What the fuck do you mean No!?""Before you killed the head of security he was the one in charge of assigning men to her house, capo" his head is bowed"Figlio di puttana! You're the new head of security for fucks sake! Fuck this shit!" I get up from my seat and tuck my gun into my pants before making my way to the door "Find her, track her phone do it now!""Sì capo" he rushes out of my officeI make my way to my car, to already find Angelo waiting for me in the car Good for himHe starts the car and drives to her house. It's not like her parents are ever home, her brother has traveled. She's on her own.I finally decide to check my phone maybe it can help me with her whereabouts.Oh, Nova, you're making it hard to stay away from you.I scroll through all the shit load of notifications she's been receiving, text messages from strange numbers. Notifications on I*******m of people tagging her in memes and embarrassing videos.She gained over three hundred more followers. She doesn't like attention, at least not this kind.I scroll through all the texts, checking for anything that wasn't there before and I finally notice an unknown number that's not mine, because this one is saved and she barely talks to anyone apart from her now ex-boyfriend and her brother, which is once in a while.I click on the name, who the fuck is Jeremiah?I can't believe I'm doing this lol - NovaDoing what?!!"Life is short, take risks" -JShe replies five minutes later, I know her so well to know she was using that time to contemplate it."Text me the address of the club I'll Uber there" -N"Sure thing babe"-JBabe?My hand tightens around the device. I give Angelo the address of the club.Of all clubs, you could have fucking gone to Nova!"Capo?" Angelo calls outLike I thought he wants to know if he heard me right "Sì, Angelo go now!"Club Synergy, is known mainly for its underground sex dungeon that only gives passage to VVIP customers and their plus one. Also, they can pick from the main club if interested.The majority of the people that go there a lot know what the club is for and today...Fuck today is a fucking Friday!They get to pick eight lucky people if they're interested, four males and four females to go to the dungeon for a fun night.And I can bet my left testicle that figlio di puttana Jeremiah knows what's going on.The amount of anger radiating from me in waves right now is almost visible. I just want to hit something, and if Angelo doesn't get to that club soon enough it's going to be him "Drive faster Angelo!"Immediately we arrive at the club, I don't wait long enough until he parks the car, Before I get down and make a dash for the entrance, praying to fuck the security fucks up so I can take out part of this anger on him.I get to the entrance and lucky for them they let me in. I tell Angelo to go find her and call me immediately if he finds her first.I've been searching for over thirty minutes, my palm is sweaty, and I'm fucking pissed! because I know she may be selected to go underground.I don't get nervous!I try my best not to make my mind wander to that area. I scour the dance floor with my eyes, and there she is.Fuck she's gorgeous.She's standing by the toilet door, waiting for her turn in the line.Who the fuck makes a toilet so far off into a corner, at a club?I contemplate walking up to her, but I can't help it so I do.While I'm making my way to her, my phone receives a notification and I assume it's Angelo but I see her take out her phone and scroll through so I check it out.It's a message from her ex.I glance up at her and notice the way her hands tighten around her phone, her back is to the line and she's facing me. All it takes is one look up and she'll see me.I read the text he sent."I know your life must be miserable now, I've seen the memes and videos Lmao!" -DIs he kidding me with this bullshit?!I raise my head to look at her and I almost panic when I see that she's left but I look around and see her heading to the exit.I look around for dumbass Jeremiah so I can put a name to the face but nothing. She's leaving alone and she's staggering.She's drunk. For the first time in her life.I make sure I'm not far behind her. I quickly text Angelo to bring the car keys immediately.I drive the car to where she's standing"Hey, Nova? I'm your Uber" She glares at me and then at her phone, her eyes are barely open and I doubt she can even see anything on her phone clearly"Uh yeah, I'm her... Nova" she clears her throat before going to open the back seat and then changing her mind to the passenger seat.She gets in the car and her gown rides up her leg a little bit revealing her thighs. It takes everything in me not to dig my nails into them and leave marks all over them."Ready?" I glance at her to see her phone overly close to her eyes. She's looking at it as if she's trying to decipher whatever is on it. She looks at me quickly before nodding"Words, Tesoro" (darling) I watch as her tongue darts out to lick her lips swiftly"Yes I'm ready" Her eyes widen and she blinks twice as if trying to sober up quickly"Good""Ughhh I'm so drunk.." She groans and rubs her forehead"What's the occasion?" I can't help but ask, hoping she'll be able to shed some light on why she went out with some idiot days after she was publicly humiliated."Oh nothing much, I just turned nineteen two days ago and also got dumped... yay me"I desperately wish Angelo was the one driving right now. My hand was itching to go out and touch her, I wanted to dig my fingers into her waist, her thighs. It was fucking hard as hell to be this close to her and not be able to touch her the way I want.Soon my love, soon."Did I mention" she hiccups "that you and your car look nothing like Uber material" Another hiccup"Really? What is uber material tesoro?" I smirk at her"Is that an accent?" burp "Sorry. Okay, let me guess the accent. French?" I raise an eyebrow "No, no.... italian!" She exclaims loudly when she realizes that she nailed it"That obvious?""Kinda, plus the thing tes..." She tries to pronounce the tesoro "Never mind you know what I'm talking about, that gave it away""Tesoro," I say slowly so she can get the pronunciation"Yes! What does it mean?" She places her head on the headrest with her eyes closedWe arrive in front of her house and I park "This is your stop.""Oh look it's my house..." She drawlsThe lights are out as usual and her parent's cars are not in the driveway.Another night alone for her then."Hold on uh" she squints at her phone trying to check for my name I guess " fuck it" she exclaims after a failed attempt of reading her screen " Okay here's your money, I can barely read my screen I don't think I know how much I gave you" burp "I just hope It's not a high bill and I don't regret it tomorrow" she yawns when she finishes her ramblingI frown "Keep your money.""What? why? You were so nice and it's a miracle I didn't throw up in your car with how drunk I am" She places the money on my dashboard and before I could protest she mutters a goodnight and walks to her door.I watch her walk off, more like stagger into her house, and when I've made sure she's in the house I leave.I park my car a few houses down from hers and remove my phone from my pocket to see what she's doing.She's in her room, undressing. I watch how she clumsily takes her gown off and finally succeeds. Left only in her underwear now, she falls face flat on the bed.I drive back and park close to the house, and walk the rest of the way before going inside and upstairs to her room.Her hair is covering her face as she snores softly. I seat on the bed and my hand makes its way to her face and I brush her hair away from her face. I watch the way her lips form a soft pout and she scratches her nose before adjusting herself on the bed.I smile at her. I look around her room and I frown when I see her window open.Good thing I killed her peeping Tom of a neighbor before traveling.Nova He did not make love feel easy..."Oh God, what is that noise.." I groan and place my pillow over my ears, but that doesn't seem to make the infuriating noise stop. I can still hear it! "Mum! Turn it off please!" God even my voice hurts to listen to.I open my eyes gently trying to take in my surroundings, oh good I'm half naked.I'm never taking alcohol again.I lie with my back on the bed staring at the ceiling. Moving my hands around I search for my phone and turn to my side to face my nightstand.There's aspirin and a cup of water on it.I know very well my parents don't care enough to do this for me."Oh, my God!" My eyes widen in realization ad happiness. I get up from my bed and quickly put on the first shirt and joggers I could find before I run out the door, ignoring my throbbing head, I run to my brother's room.I'm hit with disappointment after I push his door open only to find his room empty, just the way it has been since he left."Oh," I sigh loudly as I fall wit
People inspire you or drain you, He did both...Nova"It's nice to see you Mr and Mrs Elrod" I smile and stretch my hand out to shake both of them."Oh don't be a stranger my dear" Mrs Elrod laughs and hugs me, and so does Mr Elrod before he goes in to say hi to my parents. "How are you? Any nerves for university" she chucklesI smile at the thought that i'll be leaving this place soon "Not at all ma'am, I'm ready"She smiles widely and hugs me again "Oh Nova I'm gonna miss you so much, my dear." She pulls away and holds my cheek "Remember you and Deshawn need to come to visit a lot okay?"What? "Uh.. sure," I stutter uncontrollably "uh excuse me please I need to check on the chicken"There's no chicken.How don't they know I'm no longer dating their son?I can't go through this dinner like this, not if I want to survive the night.I go upstairs to my room and search for my backpack. I open it and take out what I came for.The vodka I had drunkenly taken from someone from the bar the
He did to her what he did best, ruin......"Call me whatever you want Aiden, you should know I don't care" I smirk at him before taking a sip of my bourbon."You're crazy. I wonder why I'm friends with any of you. I'm beginning to think you're crazier than Roman. And that's saying a lot" Aiden shakes his head as he checks his phone again for the thirteenth time in fifty seconds."Hey! What did I do?" Roman demands from where he's seated. His attention finally was on the rest of us and not his wife."You're crazy that's what you did" Aiden answers"Aiden says the rate at which this Italian bastard is going, he might just be crazier than you" Nate another friend of mine answers"Shutup! I'm not crazy" Roman defends"Yeah right. Coming from the guy who threatened his woman's best friend, just so she'd go on a date with him" Aiden rolled his eyes, pouring himself another drink.We all laughed at the memory "Hey! That doesn't mean I'm crazy. That can be any of you guys, you know?" Roman sa
if I could choose whom to love, I'd never choose you. I never knew how much of a permanent scar you'd be on my heart.Nova"We're gonna miss you so much baby," My dad said with his arm around my shoulder in a side hug. While I stood awkwardly as he pretended to care. But we both know his main focus is on the phone in his hand.I sighed defeatedly and walked past both parents who were completely unaware of me because they were talking about their next so call business deal. I made my way to my room and picked up the last of my belongings that I would be needing.I walk down with my things in hand, not giving a single glance back to my room.It was merely accommodation for my temporary stay in this house. It was never a home.I get to where my parents are standing "Mom, Dad. I'm all set to leave""Yeah, safe trip honey" my mum dismissed with a wave of her hand without even glancing at me.I know it's routine, but that still hurt.I walk out of the door and suck in my breath before exhal
Everyone around them knew, that he'd set himself on fire to keep her warm.Nova."So uh... yeah I'm still driving, just got on the road again after last night." I rambled as I try to figure out what to say into the phone in my hand "Oh oh yeah! I met a girl last night. Not that type of meeting a girl but ughh, I helped her scare off this creep and gave her a ride" I smile to myself as if Chance was here in the car next to me listening. And I was not leaving him another voicemail.I park by the side of the road and turn my radio down a little as I continue spilling out my last night's fiasco into the phone."Turns out, she didn't even know the dude, you know. Just some creepy, disgusting man that thinks he's superior or whatever." My left hand on the wheels tightened as I remembered the slimy bastard. "I hate men, they're so fucking infuriating. Except you, Chance. I love you" I giggle after that last part "A-and I know it's not all of them, but it's really hard to think that now to be
Everyone thinks I ruined her. I did.NovaI've always hated mornings.But there's something about the night, that's welcoming to me. The way darkness engulfs me in its warmth, doing its best to shield me from prying eyes. This is how best I can describe the night.I could also go on and on about it. But I'm stuck in this line waiting to get my coffee. With this dumbass male specie in front of me, that keeps, not so subtly if I may add. Trying to check out my boobs.He should be thankful I have too much weighing on my mind right now.Human beings infuriate me. Scratch that.Straight men infuriate me.I woke up this morning, happy about my new life in college and a house that's free what more could I possibly want?That's a lie.I woke up this morning and my mind immediately went to the letter that was left for that guy. Yesterday was my first day in college, I met that guy yesterday. All these thoughts bombarded my head and all I could think of to calm myself down is coffee.But here I
Our love was toxic but it was still our love.Leonardo"You remember the plan right?" I asked the doctor attending to me"Yes sir" he nods and answers in haste"Good" I turn to face him before placing my hand on his shoulder and drawing his face closer to mine "Because I'm pretty sure that, as a doctor, you need your hands for work." I give him a pat on the back and he scurries out"What was that?" Nova chuckles as she walks to me and hands me one of the cups in her hand."I.. have no idea. Just mumbled some shit about a patient and left" I shrugged while feigning innocence. I took a sip of my coffeeShe let out a loud sigh "You won't believe where I had to go to get these" she placed the coffee down on the table beside me before presenting a small bag I'm guessing contained muffins"Where?" I kept my eyes on her as she spoke"The other side of the hospital!" She exclaimed defeatedlyI chuckled "I was expecting to hear you drove away from here or something else""I might as well have
If we're being honest, I think she did more damage than I did.LeonardoAs I sit in the corner, watching the rise and fall of her chest while she breathes. All I can think of is how badly I want to be in that bed with her.Holding her, caressing her. But I can't, not yet at least. But soon enough my love, soon.She receives a message on her phone, and I immediately take the one in my hand that's linked to hers, to check it.The message is from a girl named Tiffany asking if she's still coming to the party.I'm guessing this must be her tour guide. She hasn't met any other person since she got here, maybe during class.Not like she talks to anyone there also.Good thing I persuaded the woman at the admissions office to attend to her any time she arrives. And also give her the new Inn that was specifically made for her.I move from where I'm sat, close to her to another section of the house. This spot is darker.I'm sure those girls will call anytime soon.And then the phone rings "Just
Leonardo I stare at Aaliyah and I can't help the small smile that appears on my face."You look happier," she mutters.I smile at her, "I am. So, when can you stop playing my fucking therapist." This was something we unknowingly started years ago after she got together with Roman and she witnessed me kill a man that almost raped her while Roman was been electrocuted repeatedly and made to watch. What I did was nothing compared to what Roman would have done if he had successfully gotten out of that chair. I was the lesser evil in my opinion.Aaliyah didn't see it that way. So here we are for one of our unexpected therapy sessions. You'd think for someone who is eight months pregnant she'd want to be in bed resting, instead, she's here grilling me about mental health and shit.I miss Nova. I'll make sure she pays for setting me up like this when she gets back from class."Why?"I chuckle, "Do you believe in fate?"She shook her head, confused. "I don't think so. Why?""Well, my answer
Nova Leo just strolled out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist looking as delicious as ever. My eyes roam over his body and I trail the droplets of water running down from his chest to his stomach imagining what my tongue would feel like when I lick it clean."Why do you look so good?" The question is out of my mouth before I can stop it.He smirks, "I can't help it. It's a blessing, baby.I move off the bed and stand in front of him. "I have the urge to climb you like a tree every time because you look so fucking good!" "Oh, really? What's stopping you?"There's a drop of water rolling from his shoulder down to his stomach. I bend in front of him before darting my tongue out to lick the water right above his navel. Leo releases a loud moan and it does something to me knowing the amount of control I have over him."That feel good?" I ask teasing."Fuck, yes.""Yeah," I look at the tent that's now forming under his towel. "You get that hard easily a lot?" I tease him and
Nova & Leo I make my way inside, trying to ignore the rush of blood in my ears and the deafening decibels of the metronome in my chest. The rush calms down when my eyes meet with bright blue eyes, silently reassuring me.If Leo was not here, I don't know what I'll do.But I do know it won't be pretty. People who say they aren't capable of violence are liars. Everyone is capable of it. It's a matter of learning what will push you to that point.I've spilled blood. Out of luck or whatever anyone wants to call it.This crusade is fueled by love. A pretty, sparkling, soft emotion, capable of wreaking more havoc than hate.Hate can't dig under the skin the way love does. It doesn't alter your cells or spark chemistry. You'd bleed for someone you love, never someone you truly hate. But hate holds a dark power of its own. And right now, both hate and love are driving my decisions.I'm volatile and angry.Terrified and nervous. As I look at the man I call my father, bound, and bruised
Leonardo I cock my head to the side, staring at the running man with bewilderment. “Why does he run like that?” I ask, genuinely concerned if Charles Klay likes to peg himself with foreign objects. Maybe one got stuck because Jesus fucking Christ, who runs like that? I can't believe we've been chasing Edward and his lackeys for close to a month and this limping ape is the closest thing to him that we've got.“That… that’s a good question,” Nate answers through my earpiece, sounding just as bemused as I am. He’s watching through the drone hovering over the awkwardly running dude. We’ve been tracking Charles Klay since he fled from Councilman David’s house. He wasn’t hard to find despite his best efforts to stay hidden. I’m sure it hurt his shriveled little soul to have millions of dollars and not be able to fuck off to a tropical island with strippers and blow. Guess the dude hasn’t fried his brain with drugs so badly that he’s not aware of the massive target on his back.H
Leo I stare at Nova's face and the way she grips my hand and rubs it reassuringly. "Let's go inside, baby. I have a surprise for you.""A surprise? Leo are you sure you want to go in there? All you have in this place are bad memories. Why would you want to go in there?" The worry in her tone almost deters me but I remembered why I chose to come here.I pull her closer to me, my hands wrapped around her waist. As my fingers roam all over her soft supple skin I have it in me to fuck her here against a tree and from the way she's breathing I'm sure she feels the same way. "It's okay, my love.""I just don't want this ugly place to trigger any bad memories for you." She places her palm on my cheek.I lean my face into her touch, "I'll be fine, I've got you. Just be here, okay? Can you do that for me, baby?" I ask her"Always. It's you and me, Leonardo Ricci."I kiss her deeply and passionately. "That's my girl. Now, let's go see your surprise.""This is an unexpected place for a surpr
Nova"Can I take you somewhere?" Leo asks. I've just stepped out of the bathroom from my shower, yanking a brush through my wet, tangled hair. I tear the bristles through a particularly brutal knot, uncaring of the way the strands tear. "Baby, you're hurting your hair. Let me brush it." Feeling defeated, I slump my shoulders, trudge over to him, and sit on the floor between his spread knees. He takes the brush from me and gently starts running it through the sopping tresses, slowly detangling the mop on my head. It feels nice, but I'm too tired to appreciate it. Leo was right. Happiness is fleeting, however, over the past weeks, he's done everything in his power to help me hold on to any semblance of peace. Finishing with the brush, he sets it down on the bed and gathers my hair together. I nearly choke when he begins braiding it. "Where the hell did you learn to do that?" I ask. I'm tempted to twist around like a dog chasing its tail, just so I can witness this. "Aaliyah taug
Leo "I'm not surprised my mum hasn't called." She sighs tiredly before sitting on the bed "Even my brother, Chance. Do you think they're part of everything alongside Edward?""I don't know, baby. I don't care what they are part of as far as they didn't come for you.""Hmm," She's silent for a beat. "I can't believe our fathers love each other. It's scary to imagine." There's a small smile on her face and I'm happy to see she's gradually moving past what happened."I'd rather not have that sort of image in my head right now, darling.""I'm sorry," she smiles.I settle in deeper next to her, slumping against the stone wall, careful not to touch her, though my body is vibrating with the need to. We haven’t touched since I found her in the hangar, and each second feels like a stab in the chest. Fiending for Nova Carter is a feeling I’m old friends with, but this is the first time I refuse to act on it. “You don't have to apologize. Tell me about her,” I say. “Tell me everything
Nova "So, If I'm not hallucinating, why the hell is Tiffany tied to a chair? And why are we in a hangar? How did I get here? Whose jet is that?" I asked Leo after taking a look around. The last thing I remember was running and then seeing a dead body before I passed out.How the hell did I get to this unfamiliar hangar? I woke up not long ago to see Tiffany tied to a chair with two bleeding stab wounds in her thigh. Leo said he was responsible and he didn't look one bit remorseful about it.I stand up from the bed and I'm about to walk down to where Tiffany is when Leo holds me back. "I'm going to explain, baby. But first, you need to rest.""Why is she here, Leo? Why did you hurt her?" I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know he'd never hurt Tiffany without reason, but I still want to hear him say it."Because she hurt you. And for that, she can't go unpunished." "W-what do you mean?" My throat still hurts a little with each word I utter."Tiffany was the one who brought
Leonardo I'm going to kill Alessandro. I intended to kill him before but the urge to kill him is stinger now, it's almost maddening. And as for Edward, I might let Nova decide what happens to him."Can I at least have a bandage or shirt to stop the blood? It's too much" Tiffany asks."Keep talking before I decide that the next place this scalpel will enter is the side of your neck. Keep talking."She sighs defeatedly before obeying. Alessandro approached me first. He seemed to know everything about me and how my brother was murdered. He said he and Edward could help me get revenge and also pay me if I did what they wanted. I was desperate, so I agreed. He gave me a file that contained a lot of things about you. He didn't disclose fully how he got it but he knew I knew you. He later on told me that you were once an agent part of this secret organization funded by some government officials, but you went rogue." Tiffany's eyes lock with mine. "He said you were desperate but he's no
