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. With a sigh, Romario went to the bathroom and returned with a wet towel."Take off your clothes," he instructed, and Allison nodded, removing her dress, leaving only her underwear. He gently cleaned her face and hands with the towel, removing the bloodstains."You're pretty shaken, but if you stay in the family much longer, you'll get used to it," Romario said, trying to reassure her. Allison nodded, her tears subsiding. "Come here," he instructed, leading her to the bathroom. "Bend your hair into the sink, you have blood in it." Romario washed her hair, his touch softer than he cared to admit.Afterward, he took her back to the room to dry her hair. "Thank you," Allison muttered, standing up to leave. Romario was taken aback by her sudden composure. "Where are you going, dressed only in your underwear?" he asked, amused.Allison glared at Romario, slapping his hand off hers. "You're a fucking monster, all of you in this family are sick!" she screamed in rage. Romario's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly regained his composure and slapped her hard, sending her crashing to the ground. "Don't you ever disrespect my family!" he growled, his anger boiling over. Allison burst into hysterical laughter, her eyes blazing with fury. "Family?" she snickered.“If it was someone else, I would have killed them for such disrespect. So make sure to avoid me like a fucking plague,” he growled as he pressed Allison's throat more. Tears fell from her eyes and Romario finally released her neck and pushed her out of the room.Allison hastily made her way to the slave quarters, leaving Romario to his thoughts. He grabbed a bottle of tequila and drowned his anger in it.The weapon delivery he had made in Mexico two weeks prior still weighed heavily on his mind. They had been ambushed by armed men, and he was shot in the arm, but it was just a scratch.However, his men weren't so lucky; they were murdered as he fled the scene, and the bandits made off with the weapons. The ambush revealed that there was still a mole within the family, and the loss of his men fueled Romario's anger, driving him to investigate further. When his father revealed the mole's identity, he was surprised to learn it was a kid - David, Luca's nephew. The Ndrangheta family realized they had not only the police but also another gang to contend with. Romario reluctantly admitted they needed Jose's help to end this cycle of betrayal.Meanwhile, Emily sat in the garden, still feeling shivers down her spine. The slave quarters were gloomy, and David's death had come as a shock to everyone. "He was just a fucking child," Emily sighed in frustration, noticing Allison approaching. "Hey," Allison said, trying to smile, and Emily motioned for her to sit beside her. Allison sighed and joined Emily, and they held hands, leaning on each other for support.Here's an edited version of your paragraph with some minor adjustments for clarity and flow:Allison wondered how Emily was coping, considering she had known David longer. "We'll be fine," Emily reassured her, kissing her forehead."I need to go prepare dinner; you're on gardening duty with Maria." Emily waved goodbye, and Allison sighed, taking her shovel to get to work. She spotted Maria approaching with her entourage and groaned inwardly, not needing any additional irritation. "Oh, if it isn't the traitor's friend," Maria sneered, her malice palpable. Allison ignored her and continued digging, focusing on planting her flowers. "I heard he was the one who gave out information that led to Master Romario's ambush," one of Maria's minions spat angrily. Allison's eyes widened; she hadn't known about the ambush, but that didn't justify David's tragic death. She turned to Maria, "Can we please work in peace?" she pleaded, continuing her duties. Maria grumbled and continued taunting her, but Allison ignored her and finished her tasks.Afterward, Emily informed her that she would be serving the masters dinner. Allison nodded and headed to the dining room, where she averted her eyes while serving. The masters continued their conversation: "I spoke with Jose about the possibility of a rival gang on the south side; he promised to investigate and get back to us," Mr. Terrone said to his sons.As they ate the lasagna, Leonardo asked, "Do you think Tristian is involved too?" At the mention of Tristian, the bottle of tequila slipped from Allison's hand and shattered on the floor. "Shit, you're fucking useless!" Leonardo growled, his anger escalating as the tequila spilled all over his body. "I'm sorry, sir," Allison pleaded, but Leonardo's anger boiled over, and he slapped her hard, the sound echoing through the hallway. "You're fucking clumsy; I don't even know why Mario bought you. Fuck off!" Leonardo hissed, storming upstairs to change.Romario watched the argument between Allison and Leonardo but remained silent, continuing to eat his steak. Allison fought back tears, forcing a smile as she asked Terrone, "Do you need anything, master?" Terrone dismissed her with a wave, "No, you're dismissed." Allison bowed and retreated to her room, her emotions simmering.Terrone teased his son, "It's a good thing you're heeding my advice to avoid her; she's quite a trouble magnet." Romario smiled in acknowledgment, excusing himself to relieve stress. He changed into his running clothes and went for a run outside the mansion, the constant betrayal was causing tension in the family.Leonardo sat alone in his room, his dark thoughts swirling like a brewing storm. The mere presence of Allison was like a pebble in his shoe, irritating him to the point of distraction. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something about her just didn't sit right. And he was going to reveal whatever dark secrets she was hiding—even if it meant banishing her from the family for good, one way or another.When Romario returned from his run, he was met with a sight that made his heart race - his father's serious and frightened face. He had never seen the man look so scared before, and it made him wonder what could be wrong. "Dad, what's wrong?" Romario asked, concern etched on his face. His father motioned for him to sit down, his eyes darting around the room nervously. "I was on a call with Jose," his father said, his voice shaking. "Is it about the rival gang?" Romario asked impatiently, his mind racing with possibilities. "No, I haven't told him about that yet," his father muttered, his voice barely above a whisper."Mario, your mother is back," Terrone said, his voice laced with despair. Romario's eyes widened as if his heart had stopped beating. His body tensed, and he felt himself swaying, as if he might faint. His throat felt dry, and he struggled to swallow. The news was like a punch to the gut, leaving him breathless and reeling.The words I just heard made me feel tense and lost. My mother, who we all thought was dead, was back. And I knew she wanted revenge. My mother, from the powerful De Luca mafia family in Mexico, was forced into an arranged marriage with my father. It was a union built on duty and responsibility, not love. She had betrayed the family by falling in love with someone else, and my father friend, Jose, had shot her in the chest after killing her lover."I know you're shocked, but I had to warn you, your mom has gone crazy," my dad announced, his voice trembling as he took shaky steps upstairs.I sat frozen at the dining table, unable to move. Then, my phone rang. I hesitated, seeing an unknown number, but I picked up anyway. "Hello, my betrayal son," my mother's voice said, her words dripping with malice. My heart stopped. I heard her mocking laughter. "I'm going to make sure you all suffer as much as I did." She promised, her voice cold and calculating, before ending the call.I felt shive
Allison's POV It's been weeks since David's untimely death, and the mansion has been eerily quiet. I haven't seen the masters for a week now, and while I'm thankful for the reprieve, I can't shake off a nagging sense of worry. As I entered the kitchen, Emily was busy preparing dishes for the servants. She noticed my cheerful demeanor and teased, "Hey Allison, you look rather happy today!"I smiled, knowing Emily always has a knack for reading my mood. "Well, it's been a week of no masters, so I'm feeling over the moon!" I said, playfully hitting her. Emily snorted, "Don't jinx it, please!" We both burst out laughing, and I added, "It's been fun, but I'm a bit worried, too."Emily feigned concern, "I'm serious, think about it." I stared at her, incredulous, knowing she didn't really care. "I guess so, but I'm sure they're fine," I said firmly, taking a bite of the pancakes. Emily glared at me, and I smiled, lifting my hands in surrender. "Take this tray of pancakes to the guards in th
Romario's POV The explosion devastated Venita's men, and I felt a pang of pity for the innocent children caught in her quest for revenge. As I lay there, I felt hands shaking me, and I looked up to see my dad's face, his eyes filled with concern. "Mario, can you hear me?" he asked, and I managed to blink once in response. He smiled, relieved."Terrone, Leonardo is unconscious; we need to get him to the hospital," Jose said, worry etched on his face as he carefully lifted Leonardo into his arms. He placed him in the backseat of the car alongside the two rescued children."Mario, I'm going to move you now," my dad warned, his hands gently grasping my arms to pull me up. I let out a pained growl, my scream echoing through the air. "Some of our men lost their lives in the explosion, but Ken survived," my dad reassured me as I took in the grim scene around us - dead bodies everywhere. "That bitch really got us," I thought, my anger and pain simmering.Dad placed me in the same car as Ken,
The morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting a warm glow on Allison's features. Her eyes fluttered open, a disoriented haze clouding her mind as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings. The heavy weight of her master's body pressed against her, a stark reminder of last night's brutal events.Her body throbbed with pain, each movement sending a fresh wave of agony coursing through her veins. Biting her lip, she fought against the tears that threatened to spill forth, refusing to give into the despair that threatened to overwhelm her.With each passing moment, Allison's fury and humiliation mounted. She squirmed against his hold, her muscles straining against his grip as she desperately sought to escape his clutches. But Romario held fast, his arms like steel bands that refused to relent. Finally, he stirred, his eyes flickering open to meet her glare. Without a word, he pressed his lips to her forehead, the gesture a mockery of affection. Allison recoiled,
The police surrounded them, shouting, "Put your hands behind your head!" as they pointed their guns. Romario glanced around, desperate to escape. He grabbed one of the girls as a human shield, but the police opened fire, and she fell to the ground, her blood spilling onto the floor. Romario dropped her and ran, taking advantage of the police's momentary distraction with Tristian.The police soon realized he was gone and gave chase, hot on his heels. Romario kept running, dodging bullets and thinking on his feet. He considered escaping in his car, but since this is a trap then they might have planted a bomb in there.Romario jumped into a moving trash truck, and the police gave chase, scrambling to get back into their cars. He screamed in anger, knowing he couldn't get caught in England. When the truck passed a dark alley, he leapt out and hid, aware the police would be looking for the truck.To blend in with the homeless people in the alley, Romario removed his jacket and messed up hi
The three Masters exchanged nervous glances, their faces etched with uncertainty and fear for the first time. "Wake up all the slaves!" Terrone yelled at Leonardo, his voice laced with urgency. "Tell the men to lock down the house and bring the weapons!" he growled at Romario.Romario, still in shock, rushed to the guards outside. "Lock down the house! Make sure no one comes in or out!" he screamed, and the guards nodded and sprang into action. As Romario watched, the mansion's lights flickered on, and servants scurried to hide the illicit substances that could land them in jail.He raced back to his father, who was barking orders at the guards to move faster. "We can't find the person behind the message - it's like they vanished into thin air!" Terrone exclaimed, frustration etched on his face. Romario nodded. "We'll deal with that later. For now, let's make sure we don't end up in prison."Romario dashed to his room to clear out his weapons, while Leonardo instructed the servants to
Leonardo and Romario stood frozen, struggling to find words, their faces pale with anxiety. Leonardo's gaze darted to the door, seeking an escape route, while Romario's hand gripped his gun tightly in his back pocket.Just then, Terrone burst in, his hands covered in blood, and Naveen's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Naveen drew his gun, pointing it at Terrone's head, causing Terrone's breathing to hitch in surprise.Romario swiftly pulled out his gun, aiming at Naveen's forehead, but Terrone intervened, "Put the gun down, Romario." His firm tone conveyed trust in his father's judgment, and Romario hesitated, then tucked his gun away.Terrone turned to Naveen, his smile convincing, "Put your gun away, officer. I don't like being treated like a criminal." Naveen nodded, holstering his gun, his eyes never leaving the trio. "So, about the bloodstain..." he began, his tone hinting at a looming confrontation.Terrone held up his blood-covered hands, feigning nonchalance. "As you can see, my p
It's been weeks since the police visited the mansion, and the masters' bad mood had been palpable, casting a tense atmosphere over the entire estate. Everyone was on edge, walking on eggshells around the masters, and I was no exception. Emily's behavior towards me had changed dramatically; she watched my every move with an eagle eye, making me feel uneasy and uncomfortable.The head maid's harsh words snapped us back to work, and we continued planting maize grains under the scorching sun. I felt like I was on the verge of collapse, my body aching from the physical labor."Allison, please hurry up; I hate that we're always the last to finish," Rosita whispered, wiping the sweat from her face. Rosita had become a sort of friend, but I sensed we were only acquaintances, bound together by our shared struggles in the mansion.As we worked, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, trapped in a web of tension and suspicion. The masters' anger, Emily's watchful gaze, and the head maid's cr
ALLISON POV I slowly opened my eyes to find myself nestled in Romario's bed, my face buried in the warm nook of his neck. His hand rested comfortably on my waist, a gentle reminder of his presence. This had been our sleeping position for weeks now, and I couldn't help but savor every moment of it. The familiarity of his scent, the rhythm of his breathing, and the security of his embrace all combined to create a sense of tranquility I'd never known before."Pet, are you awake?" Romario's low, husky voice snapped me out of my reverie, sending shivers down my spine.I stretched my body like a languid cat, arching my back and extending my limbs. Then, I turned to him, my eyes locking onto his. "Good morning, Master," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.Romario's gaze held mine for a moment before he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. His lips lingered, sending warmth spreading through my entire body. Then, he stood up, his movements fluid and deliberate, and headed to the bath
THIRD PERSON POV An unsettling silence enveloped the manor as Jose stormed out, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. Romario swiftly intervened, dispersing the gathered maids back to their duties.Meanwhile, Leonardo rushed to Tristian's aid, helping him up from the floor where Jose's violent outburst had left him with a broken nose."Let's get you to your room," Leonardo suggested.As they navigated the corridors, Romario's mind reeled with questions. Who was this Gracia that Jose had passionately referred to as his "everything"? Why would Jose have someone else when he and Tristian had been together for over twenty years?Upon reaching Tristian's room, Leonardo gently laid him down on the bed."Thanks for your help, you can leave now," Tristian said.Romario's eyes widened in disbelief."We're not going anywhere until you explain what just happened," Romario insisted.Leonardo nodded in agreement, but Tristian's expression remained resolute, his eyes guarded."It's none of your bu
ROMARIO POVI sat at my desk, engrossed in paperwork, when a knock interrupted my focus."Come in, the door's open," I muttered, not bothering to look up.Ken pushed the door open, escorting a shivering man into my office.My brow furrowed in confusion as I set aside my pen."Who is this?" I demanded, eyeing the trembling individual.Ken stepped forward."This is the gold dealer, Boss," he replied.My expression transformed into pure rage as I rose from my chair.This was the man responsible for jeopardizing our alliance with the Genovese family.I strode toward him, my voice menacing."So, you're the one who thought he could deceive me," I sneered.The old man quivered."We paid you for the purest gold, yet you delivered fake," I accused.He shook his head frantically."I swear on my life, I gave your second-in-command the real gold chain," he pleaded.I scoffed at his feeble attempt to deflect blame."Your life was forfeit the moment you decided to double-cross me," I growled.The m
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 apologized profusely, my face burning with embarrassment, as I opened the windows to clear the smoke. Emily's worried gaze met mine, her brow furrowed. "What's wrong?
ROMARIO POV I woke up to the warm sunlight peeking through the blinds, illuminating my lavish bedroom. Stretching my arms, I tossed off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed. Today was the party in Mexico. My mind drifted to Allison, my pet. Lately, she'd been avoiding me, and I couldn't understand why.As I packed my bag, my thoughts lingered on Allison's captivating eyes. What had driven her away?Just as I zipped my bag shut, a knock at the door broke the silence."Boss, your private jet is ready," Ken, my pilot, announced."Give me a sec," I replied, grabbing my bag.I took one last glance around the room, ensuring I hadn't forgotten anything."Ready," I said, opening the door.Ken nodded and took my bag. "We need to move if we want to make our Mexico City deadline."I nodded and followed Ken out the door.The warm sun hit me as we stepped onto the tarmac. My sleek private jet awaited, engines humming."All set, boss?" Ken asked.I nodded and boarded the jet.As
Leonardo POV My mind was filled with rage was I saw my brother, Ramiro sharing a kiss with Kate, I felt like slamming him into a world but I just ignored both of them and left to the front yard. I rushed into my car and drove out of the manor, the guards at the door were giving me weird stares but I paid them no mind. Life wasn't fair to me at all. I am Leonardo Ndrangheta, the second son of Terrone Ndrangheta, the useless son as most people like to whisper behind my back. I have always lived in the shadow of Romario, he is better than me in every aspect, and that infuriates me.I drove to the nightclub, “Favre” is the most popular club in this side of Italy, the owner is my bestfriend; Vinnie Paz. As I moved inside the club making sure to avoid the sweaty bodies, I made my way to the VIP section and sat there. I called the waiter to give me his strongest drink, I had also drank four shots of tequila when Vinnie rushed to my side and seized the fifth glass. “Give it back!” I push
Allison POVWeeks have passed since Venita's death, and while Master Romario tries to hide it, I can tell it still affects him. However, he seems to have moved on. As I cleaned the sitting room, Kate glared at me, but remained silent. When I mentioned her threats to Master Romario, he told her to leave me alone, and she's been doing that for over a month now. I've almost forgotten she lives in the manor.Today, I noticed Kate was having issues with Master Leonardo, who's been giving her icy glares all morning. "Master Leonardo, here's the water you requested," I said, handing it to him. He took it and drank, then smashed the glass on the floor, startling Kate and me. "That's how shattered I feel because of you!" he screamed at Kate before storming out.Kate rolled her eyes completely looking unfazed by his actions, and muttered, “he's such a drama queen”. I cleaned the broken glasses making sure none pierced into my skin. Kate concentrated on her movie and kept laughing completely
Romario POVI sat in the police van, my hands cuffed behind my back, struggling to understand the surreal situation. Venita's sudden death didn't make sense, and I couldn't believe Officer Naveen had arrested me for her murder. The throbbing headache worsened due to the siren noise, making it hard to think clearly.My dad tried to reassure me, "Stay strong, Mario. I'll call Steven and he would sort this out." 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." But I knew no one heard me. The events of the past few hours seemed like a blur, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I knew I needed to stay strong and focus on clearing my name, but the pain and uncertainty made it difficult to think straight.Officer Naveen exchanged words with my dad before we drove off in the police van. I leaned my head against the window glass, staring at the passing
Allison POVAs I toiled away on that sultry afternoon, the scorching sun beating down relentlessly, I was utterly drenched in sweat by the time I finished clearing the field. With Matilda absent, having ventured into town to attend to some grocery shopping, Anastasia and I were paired together on duty. “Shall we proceed to lunch?” Anastasia suggested, her voice a welcome respite from the heat, and I nodded in eager agreement. We gathered our equipment and began making our way towards the dining room, the promise of a cool, shaded reprieve beckoning us like an oasis.En route, we encountered Lori, our newly appointed head maiden, whose countenance, as usual, betrayed a subtle yet unmistakable disapproval whenever she laid eyes on me. Though her lips remained sealed, refraining from any overtly disparaging remarks, her frosty demeanor and surreptitious glares spoke volumes when she assumed no one was paying attention. Given her close affinity with Anastasia, I judiciously maintained a
