ROMARIO POV

I woke up alone, assuming Allison had gone to do her chores. She insisted on it to quell the rumors spreading through the manor.

Her determination to maintain appearances was admirable, but I wished she wouldn't feel obligated.

Stretching, I headed to my father's office, curious about the news he promised. Hopefully, it was about the elusive mole Ken had been searching for. That traitor had been evading detection for far too long.

As I entered, my father's gloomy expression matched the somber mood that had plagued him since Jose's departure. His eyes seemed to hold a perpetual shadow.

"Good morning," I greeted, taking a seat opposite him.

He merely hummed, his eyes fixed on some unseen point, his brow furrowed.

I rolled my eyes. "What's this meeting about?"

Tristan's expression darkened, his voice laced with anger. "You tell me... You've been frolicking with that so-called pet slave of yours all over town."

I sensed a lecture brewing.

    Allison’s POVWith each of Nathaniel's calculated strides, a dark thrill tingles through my core, and that menacing smirk of his—dear god. His fingers, a vice of power and finesse, cinched around my neck, the pressure a symphony of pleasure and pain.“You see what you do to me, my little pet,” Nathaniel growled, a feral edge to his voice, sending a chill down my spine as he tightened his grip ever so slightly.“Master,” I moaned, unable to hold back the pleasure-pain that sang through my veins as I bit my lip to muffle the sounds spilling from my mouth.Nathaniel chuckled darkly, his arousal grinding against my thigh. “Do you want to see what you've unleashed?”.“I want to hear you, my little pet,” Nathaniel purred into my neck, his voice an aphrodisiac that coursed through my veins like molten desire. My dress hit the floor, baring my naked body to his hungry gaze, and I shivered under the intensity of his stare.Nathaniel’s smirk morphed into something far more dangerous—a look of p

    Romario’s POVI sat in the leather chair, its soft embrace a stark contrast to the harshness of the man before me. A dead body lay on the ground, blood slowly seeping into the cracks of the floor."You've failed me," I said, my voice low and deadly. "And now you will pay for your mistake.”"Please, Mr. Romario. Please, have mercy," the man stammered, his eyes wide with fear. But I felt no mercy for those who crossed me. It was a rule I had instilled in my men from the moment I took the reins of the family.I rose to my feet, my tailored suit a silent reminder of the power that coursed through my veins. "Mercy is for the weak, Luca. And you are weak. Weakness will not be tolerated in this family."With a flick of my wrist, Luca's fate was sealed."Ken!" I barked at my second-in-command, my voice laced with disgust as I gazed at the worthless blood spreading across my tiles. "Clean up this mess, now!"Just then, my servant rushed in, phone in hand.

    Katherine’s POVMy eyes widened in horror as the gun went off, and the guard crumpled to the floor, his lifeless body surrounded by a growing pool of blood. I was paralyzed with shock, my mind reeling from the brutality I had just witnessed."Nobody touches what's mine," Master growled, his voice dripping with authority and menace. The remaining guards cowered, their faces etched with fear as they begged for mercy."Why should I show you mercy?" Master sneered, his eyes cold and calculating as he stalked them like a predator. "We didn't know he would dare do that," they pleaded, tears streaming down their faces."You're on mining duties," Master decreed, his voice devoid of empathy as he dragged me back inside the house. I was still reeling from the violence I had witnessed, my anger simmering beneath the surface.Master's eyes locked onto mine, a mocking glint in their depths. "That's it, no thank you, Master?" he taunted, his smirk infuriating me. I bowed my head, forcing out a meek

    The room fell silent, with all eyes on me, and I understood their shock. As someone who doesn't care about anyone outside of my family, my actions seemed suspicious, to say the least. I continued eating my dessert, unfazed by the attention.My dad cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "We all know Mario is very possessive of his properties," he said with a scoff, and the room erupted into laughter. Jose nodded in agreement, chuckling. "I remember when he was 12, he beat up the boy who asked Namiro to be his friend." The laughter grew louder, but Leonardo's gaze remained fixed on me, his expression disbelieving.I smirked at him, pleased that his smile had disappeared. "So, you guys are just going to ignore this?" Leonardo asked, his voice laced with skepticism. "Doesn't it seem suspicious to you?" He glared at everyone, but they just continued laughing and chatting, brushing off the incident as irrelevant."Come on, Leo, don't be ridiculous," Namiro said, her voice laced with anno

    Everywhere was silent, the only sound being the droplets of David's blood falling from Allison's body. Romario gazed at her with concern, as she looked emotionless, her eyes vacant. “This should remind you of the importance of loyalty in this family. You are all dismissed,” Master Terrone told his servants, who turned to leave. But Allison didn't move, still in shock. “Le...let's go, please,” Emily stammered, trying to pull Allison up from the floor, where she had collapsed. 'Leave her and get lost,' Romario growled, tired of Emily's teary eyes. Emily nodded and ran off, probably to cry."Here's an edited version of your paragraph with some minor adjustments for clarity and flow:"Ken, clean this mess," Romario instructed, dragging Allison by her dress into his room. She remained silent, tears streaming down her face. Romario smiled, reveling in her distress. "Sit," he commanded, motioning to his bed. Allison didn't budge, still crying, her body covered in blood.

    ALLISON POV "Get your lazy bones to work!" Mera snarled, her sharp tone slicing through my thoughts like a razor. I shot her a withering glare before trudging towards the kitchen, tasked with preparing breakfast alongside Emily. My feet felt heavy, weighed down by the turmoil brewing within. As I walked, I made sure to steer clear of Master Romario's path. For over a week, I had been avoiding him, haunted by the head maid's ominous warning: "He'll discard you like the others." Those words echoed in my mind like a malevolent mantra, fueling my deepest fears. What if I wasn't enough? What if Romario tired of me, just like he had with the others? The kitchen's warmth enveloped me, but my thoughts remain icy. "You're burning the sausages!" Emily shrieked, rushing to extinguish the flames dancing in the pan.

I nodded, overwhelmed by the pain and unable to respond. I glanced at my pet, seeing tears fill her eyes, and muttered to myself, "Don't cry, baby. Pretty girls should never cry."
