I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 28: Know Your Place
"Where's Jenny by the way?" "Somewhere," he replied, nonchalantly. "By the way, tell your boy to get himself together and do the needful. Time is running and we must honour our word.""Mr Leon, don't you think..""I don't want to hear any excuses. You live with him for crying out loud. You practically raised him so you better start demanding that respect. He's basically your son. Let him know that. Do you understand?""Mr..." "Do you underst..." He was unable to complete his statement when a violent cough took over his sore throat. "Mr. Le...." Her words were cut short once again by the abrupt end of the call. "Oh dear Lord," she said, her heavy British accent loaded with panic. "I need to speak to Antonio about...""Speak to me about what?" a hostile hoarse voice interrupted from behind, just as she opened her bedroom door to step in."Good Lord!" she exclaimed out of fright, losing her grip over the keys. Thankfully, Antonio was swift enough to catch them before they were landed
I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 29: The Sisters'Feud
Andrea's POVAfter about 3 weeks of being locked up in the Monster's mansion, I was released with three days of rest before reporting for work at Robles Corp. To be honest, my stay there wasn't all gloomy and stormy but it certainly feels good to be back in the apartment, with the exception of having to play the silent treatment with Lana. I knew she had been worried about my whereabouts but there was no way I could tell her that. I couldn't afford to get her involved in this, being already way in over my head with my little brother involved. I'd probably have had to sell myself for her and that would have been a nightmare, to be enslaved to Antonio. Sadly, that was already the case...just in a slightly less traumatizing way.On the other hand, Lana's return to Jackson had me up in arms. Just the thought of them together fused with the memory of his birthday party made me livid. I was worried about her well-being. Jackson, as everyone knew him, was said and proven to be a no-good spoi

"Lana, let go. I'm fine. It's nothing....""Nothing? Your once flawless skin is suddenly covered by dark patches after you disappeared for almost a month and you're telling me it's nothing? Get dressed. We're going to see the doc...""No!" I aggressively yanked my arms out of her grip. "I'm fine. It's nothing so please leave me alone. It's no big de...""No big deal? You think I can't tell these are from healing bruises? That means something did happen and if you won't tell me what, I'll find out myself," she said angrily and stormed off, taking her phone out of her pocket."Lana!" I immediately went after her, while putting a t-shirt on. "You're exaggerating. It's nothi....""Don't give me that Andrea. You...""Fine, it's simply none of your business," I boomed, cutting her. The air in the living room instantly became thick and suffocating. The astonishment and sadness drawn on her face was soft and yet heart-wrenching. "How can you say that? I...""Lana, you wanted me out of your b

"Now, she has really crossed the line with me. I'll make her stay here as miserable as possible," Lauren mumbled to herself as soon as she was sure Antonio was out. Little did she know that he was yet to completely shut the door. He chuckled under his voice at what she said before thinking to himself, 'I know you will Lauren. You're my ticket to getting back at that wild cat.'***Around the promised hour, Antonio picked up Lauren from the office and made their way to the warehouse. Immediately the Audi came to a halt, the door flew open instantly, making way for the brightness of day that was shun out by the tinted windows. They were welcomed by a man dressed in a black sleeveless turtleneck shirt, a dark themed soldier camouflage pants with multiple side pockets, black wellington boots, wore a pair of black leather gloves, and had on a black headband. Arnold was followed by two others dressed similarly who stood at the entrance of the building, one holding a black briefcase with a g
I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 32: Delivery
Lana opened the door to their apartment, acknowledging a knock. There stood three men, each holding two suitcases with the exception of one, who held just one and a board with a sheet requiring a signature. "Hello Ma'am, we're from Flash Delivery Service," the young nervous man in front informed. "Yeah, I can tell from the outfit," she immediately struck his confidence down, obliviously and curiously fixated on the luggages. The young man took a deep breath before continuing their mission, "We have a delivery for one Miss Lily Andrea Rob...sorry...Cabrera." "Uhm....sure. Please bring the things in. I'll get her for you." Lana screamed, almost sounding excited, calling Lily out. Clearly irritated and looking sleepy, Lily made her way to the living room, rubbing her eye with her sleeve-covered fingers. Andrea's P.O.V "Is there a prob...." My words failed to completely escape the source when my eyes landed on the men holding the suitcases, dressed in the yellow and dark blue unif

Alright Lily. It's time for me to go," said Lana to her adopted sister and best friend, Lily.Lily gave a dull smile. "Send my love to mum, dad and Jay for me.""You should have come with me, you know?" Lana said picking up her bag from her seat behind her. "They've all missed you like craaazyy," she empasized the last word while hugging her."You know why I can't Lana. Let's just drop it.""C'mon Andrea, it's been 11 years. You...""Lana please? Let's not do this. You should board the plane now," she said cutting her speech."So what will you be doing during the Christmas holidays?""The usual, home alone, online with followers, you know? Okay, now get going already!" Lily insisted with a chuckle. She knew Lana was feeling reluctant to leave and was just stalling because she felt bad leaving her by herself for the Christmas holidays. 'Knowing her, she'll likely start shedding tears if we keep talking. I'm not ready to change my mind, not yet. I definitely can't go back...at least not
I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 2: His Personal Minion
Antonio's Mansion...About an hour after the encounter at the airport...Antonio sat in his study trying to work but found it hard to concentrate. The incident from earlier, at the airport, just wouldn't give him a break in his thoughts. He constantly staggered upon the memory, still so stunned that someone had the audacity to disrespect him like that. He didn't really care whether people saw or not. He just couldn't allow Lily off the hook without teaching her a resounding lesson. He opened up a drawer in his desk to take out her purse and took a look at her ID card."Liliana Andrea Cabrera," he read out her name. "She's also of Latin descent." He was scanning the remaining content when he was suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door.Antonio picked up a little remote on his desk and pressed a button, opening the door. It was a woman in a red blazer with a fitting short skirt. She wore a white blouse with a very low neckline underneath the blazer, exposing much of her cleavage. He

"Marcus Elton is indeed the traitor, just as you suspected. Private Detective Donovan acquired these pictures of him meeting up with your ex, Rachael. As seen in the photos, he's handing over a folder which is similar looking and certainly the same as the missing folder containing the Advertising department's fake ideas for the festive season. However, we cannot pin down any particular company Rachael is working with because the ideas seem to have been distributed among three different companies," Lauren said as he went through the pictures. "What would you like to do about it now Boss?""Well done. Now we have almost everything we need. I informed the detective earlier today of another task he needs to complete in order for us to completely pin him down.""What are you talking about Boss?" Lauren asked surprised that there was more to do on this case."Don't worry about that. He can handle it. About the guy Marcus pinned the theft on and fired, I hope you've already paid him his sala

"You're in no position to ask me to do anything. Don't forget I'm your boss now. In case you didn't know because you ignorantly failed to read the contract before signing, you begin work two days after you are fully discharged by the doctor...""You bast...""Complete that and it'll be the death of you Andrea Cabrera," he threatened with a stone cold gaze. "I'll take my leave now. Enjoy your grace period and try not to worry too much. It won't help you get better soon so you can finally start your dream job." He majestically walked out of the room with a satisfied grin, leaving behind a raging and panicking Andrea. She was left to her wild imagination to drive her mad, wondering what's next.***Hours later..."Mr. Perkins," the Vice Chancellor called out as he walked in, interrupting the ongoing lecture. He whispered something to the lecturer whose clearly displeased and confused expression suddenly turned to a stunned one. Jake, watching the scene playing before him from the end of

"Speak already Antonio and quit staring like that. It's rude to stare." He leaned in closer till his lips were barely an inch away from her ear and whispered to her. Suddenly, she stood frozen as he moved away to enjoy the look of horror on her face."You're kidding," she barely whispered, only making his grin grow wider. "You must be out of your mind!""You have till I get out of the shower to determine your brother's fate...""W-What about Lauren? You can't...""I never said I was firing her Andrea. Now, the ball is in your court. Either you work with me...as my personal assistant...""Antonio....""Or your little brother and the rest of your family suffer the consequences.""Y-You wouldn't harm them. You're not as cold as you portray yourself to be. You're....""Underestimated, that's what I am. As I said, you have till I step out of the shower to make your decision. I trust that you're not that dumb to test me. In the meantime, I'll leave you to start mentally preparing for what's
I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 25: Horrific Proposal
Lauren spent the night in the office, seeing to it that the technical department located the hacker as soon as possible. It then dawned on her to contact Antonio to make sure he knew she was doing her duty and would be giving him the good news soon. Hundred percent was an understatement of her certainty that Rachel was responsible. 'The best thing would be to present the grand gift of her location with undeniable evidence and gain Antonio's acceptance once again. I should at least let him know I'm aware and working on it.'She left the department and went to her office to make the call. Unfortunately, the confidence with which she announced the soon identification of the location was blown into bits by Antonio."I didn't hear from you last night, neither did I hear from the team after the breach. Forget about it. I've already located the hacker myself and I'll deal with the situation on my own," he said in his hoarse iconic nonchalant tone."I-I'll tell the men to get the warehouse re
I'll Tame You Darling Chapter 24: Wrong Perspective
"Sweetie, if Antonio hated you, you wouldn't be in his room. You would have been locked up in the basement no matter how severe your injuries must have been. He never let people come into his room. Honestly! At a point, it was so intense that, he personally took care of its cleaning, only permitting me to help him out. That, however, had to come to an end since the gentleman was often too occupied. Yet, even till date...or at least until you came into the picture....only a trusted few, hand picked by yours truly....had been authorized to attend to his room with me. That was until you came around. Now, he has given up his bed...I mean his BED...for you....""Wanda, don't say things like that....""But it's the truth Andrea. From what I know, he even beat up one of the guards who had you kidnapped and he was so so close to hitting Lauren....""Then don't say it like that. He just probably feels guilty. No, no, no, that would just mean he has a conscience and he certainly doesn't. It must
