SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW We were at the shooting range in the mansion, this man woke me up at four in the morning to tell me we would begin with my training today. I stared at him with a mix of exasperation and sleepiness as I stood in front of him in gym clothes and headphones and goggles"You'll thank me when you can shoot someone from Mike's away" he said as he looked over the guns" I just don't know why you have me awake by this time,I could've been dreaming of something right now, matter of fact,I would rather be asleep or even anywhere else right now ". I said " Do you want to learn this?" he asked me looking me dead in the eye "Yes" I said "so let's start" he said and I kept my sarky remark to myself He stood behind me and placed the gun in my hand before working on my posture"You want to stand this way, keep your hands up like this and your head this way, make sure you are not to tense, and your grip on the gun should be just right. Now aim and fire" he commanded gently
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW I held the knife in my hand and looked at Dominic hesitantly, the cold light metal in my hand as I felt it out, it was definitely sharp as I nicked me when I tried to see if it was sharp or not. "Yesterday, you worked on a dummy but today, you'll be training on me" he said while taking odd his jacket. He had gotten back from work and straight to my room so we could train "But what if I hurt you?" I asked as I suddenly felt nervous "Don't worry, you work hurt me" "How do you know that? I might do it accidentally and isn't it better to work with a blunt knife or something not so sharp cause I don't think this is good idea" " It's better to start with a sharp knife, I have fold you, you have great potential and starting off the gun with what you would face in light of an attack is better than using something blunt and you won't hurt me because I am too quick for you to catch" he said " Anything can happen, I could hurt you in some kind of unforseen way" I
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW THREE WEEKS LATERI sat on the small hedge while making sure the rifle in my hand was balanced. The cold weapon in my hand as I aimed for the targets a few feet from me. We were to practice my shooting skill since according to Dominic, I was great at guns than I was with knives. I fired a shot which hit the target in the head making it have a huge hole in between the eyes. My mind went back to the conversation me and Dominance had three weeks ago, the idea or thought that the very people I knew my entire lives might not be who they sad they were kept me up at night. I didn't want to consider the possibility so I focused instead on shooting. With three more targets down,. I changed the bullets and loved further away to test my skill at a farther distance but was interrupted by a knock at the door"come in" I said and in came one of the workers with a tray of juice and a towel to wipe my face, it was a hot day "Thank you" I said to her before taking a sip of t
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW I stared at the envelope on the table before me, I had moved into the part of the apartment where I came to for training. Placing my rifle by the side of the table, I sat down as far away from it as possible, staring at the white envelope like it was a snake that was about to pop out at ay moment. It wasn't about the envelopes, it was what it represented or what it would represent, a truth that I was not ready to confront m I liked at some of the bruises on my arms from my training and thought back to a distant memory from my childhood ...... I lay on the bed curled up in a ball from the ache in my belly, daddy got extra mad today so he pushed me against the railing and made my tummy hit the iron pole. It hurt too bad "Maybe I should get some ice from the freezer, mommy said they help with pain" I sad to myself and got up with some discomfort. Heading to the kitchen, I got the ice and was walking back to my room when I heard voices coming from daddy
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW She stared at me with bated breath while waiting for me to tell her the full truth, the real reason for it all "Please I need to know" she whispered while clutching my shirt and I sighed before saying "This is how it happened" THREE WEEKS BEFORE PRESENT DAY I sat in my office while staring at the painting of a samurai hero on the opposite wall from me while sipping on the bourbon from the glass in my hand. My thoughts filtered back to the dark haired, grey eyed beauty in her bedroom who was asleep or is supposed to be. The little minx had a habit of wandering in the halls at night ever since her doors were left unlocked, a habit she thought I did not know of but it was hard to not notice or ignore the light footsteps passing by my door every night or even she would go to the kitchen for a light snack which was usually cake and ice cream My phone ringing broke my chain of thoughts and I picked it up after seeing the familiar number on the screen
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW THREE WEEKS BEFORE PRESENT DAY He came forward with an envelope which he handed to me, I snatched it from him and poured the contents out on my desk. There were pictures and documents and certificates "He is not her father sir, turns out he is not even a cop sir" he said and dropped a flash card on the desk the sound of it dropping sounding like it was heavy with the weight of the truth it boreShe would be devastated "The meeting with Santiago was about her and their decision to take her, he wants to sell her off sir. Apparently she is very valuable to the cartel and when I heard it, I was as confused as anyone would be. He is not s cop sir and his name is not Matthew, it is Alvarez sir" he said" Alvarez?" I echoed as the name reverberated throughout my mind with familiarity I knew the name from somewhere" Yes sir, if you remember, when you took over, there was rumour of an Alvarez somewhere, he even sent a letter over to you for a possible marriage wit
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW THREE WEEKS BEFORE PRESENT DAY I stared out the window of the van and watched as Lorenzo and three other man bundled and carried the old screaming woman out of her run down apartment. Once she was in the back of the van, I said"Get us out of here now" I ordered and immediate, the car was started and we were on the road"Let me go you bastards!" I heard her yell and saw from the corner of my eye, Lorenzo pull out s gun from his pocket. Pressing it against her neck, he gestured with a finger to his lips, commanding her to keep quiet and instantly she did. The windows were let down as the van raced down the lonely roads and onto the clearing that led to the warehouse where she was to be interrogated Pulling up to the warehouse, I got off before the van could fully stop, too angry and eager to get to the bottom of this. I got in and waited as she was forced into the building and tied up so she would not move. Although, it would not be hard to get her to spea
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW ONE WEEK BEFORE PRESENT DAY I looked out my window and into my garden to see Sabine as she was rubbing her gun, ready for another day of training. She had no idea of the war brewing or of the lie that had been her life In my office on the other hand, it was a war zone with multiple papers already out on my table, it was all plans and programs for that bastard that claimed to be her father "Boss" I heard Lorenzo say causing me to snap out of my thoughts "What is it?" I said impatiently, I was not in toe mood for any theatrics particularly because I had to stay away from Sabine this past week because of work "The nanny, Luciana has given us something I think can be useful" "Well, spit it out" I ordered "It turns out Arturo has multiple brothels in your city in America and he has been operating there for years without your consent" he said making me sit up from my chair" What? " I said not believing my ears" Yes sir, what would you have us do? "" Blow t
MARIA'S POINT OF VIEWI inserted the needle into his neck while he slept, making sure to empty the contents of the needle into his veins. Once I was satisfied with my work, I rushed inside the room without bothering to be quiet anymore; he was not waking up from that, not even if the world suddenly went on fire.I opened the painting behind the wall of the bathroom to reveal a safe, he had no idea I knew it was there or that he even had a safe. Over the years of dealing with him, I realised one thing: it was better to leave him, thinking he broke me so much that thinking for myself was difficult for me, that he had so succeeded in breaking me and making me a shell of the person I once was, that all I could think of was him.That was the only way I had stayed alive so far. I punched in the combination of the safe quickly; it was a mix of numbers, and I had no idea if they held any meaning to him or if they did not. Once the coordinates were in, the safe opened with a satisfying click,
MARIA'S POINT OF VIEWI watched as he got up from the reclining chair with a grunt and limped to the bedroom while trying not to put too much pressure on his rotting leg. The house smelled of the blood and pus coming out from it, making me want to hurl and vomit, but I kept my cool, knowing the kind of man he is.He huffed in pain as he walked over to the door, but stopped as he saw me standing in the kitchen with the door open; he hated it when I closed any doors in the house- he thought I would do something he was displeased with He looked me up and down and said "I am going to sleep now but the second I wake up, you better be ok your knees on that bed like the good whore you are supposed to be" He smiled evilly in that way that made my belly turn in disgust, but to avoid another smack, I simply nodded as I trembled before him" Good, do not disappoint me. We would not want a repeat of two weeks ago, would we?" He walked over to the room, making me shiver at the mention of two we
MARIA'S POINT OF VIEWI cleaned the blood off the new wound on my head as i fought tears, after spending the greater part of my years with him, you would think i would be used to the way he treats me by now but everytime he hit me, i got even more numb and at the same time, i got even sadder as i tried to imagine what my life would have been like if my foolish fifteen year old self had never jumped out of my window to go a stupid new club with my muc older boyfriendIf I had actually listened to my parents and stayed away from him, if I focused on being the smart star student who wanted to major in electrical engineering and spent a few days on the weekend brushing up on my hacking skills, if i had listened to my best friend Chloe then about my much older bpyfriiend and did not act much older than i actually wasI would not be the punchinjg bag and whore of the criminal mastermind that was sitting on the reclining chair in his living room, i would have never been raped multiple by hi
ALVAREZ'S POINT OF VIEWI limped out of bed, dragging my infected leg with me; it reeked of blood and pus, making me retch in disgust and in great discomfort as I limped pathetically to the living room. I had watched the snipers for days now; their routine was deeply engraved in my mindThey worked around the clock in an almost unbeatable routine, while there were at least three snipers positioned adjacent to my house, all from another building, there were two others in cars positioned a few blocks from my property. If one got tired, another simply took his place, it was like clockwork with themMy escape plan seemed impossibleI grit my teeth in pain and pent-up frustration as I peel back the bandage to reveal the rotting flesh that was now my leg, the smell of blood and pus filling the air even more. I applied the treatment I had concocted a few days ago in the bedroom, I was not allowed visitors, so there were no doctors for meI had no access to working phones; I suspected that m
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW I stood frozen as I looked at the face that mirrored my own—my mother, the woman who was supposed to be dead at the hands of the man who raised me, the man I called father. She stood frozen as well, her eyes filled with nothing less than shock and wonder. Dressed in all black, everything she wore was a deep shade of mourning, from her worn jeans to her top and scarf. The man by her side stood like a soldier, ready to fight, his defensive posture beside her unwavering and strong. She walked forward, approaching me with a smile. Her bony hand reached up, causing me to flinch. She paused abruptly, looking at me with a mix of hurt and understanding. "My baby, I thought you were dead," she whispered. "I was told you were killed off that night too, and I accepted it—I really did—until I heard Vitiello had taken a new wife. At first, I didn’t think much of it until I learned from a close confidant that you looked exactly like me. It felt like a dream come true, l
"DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWI watched as the car drove out of the gates of the mansion and ran towards it in hopes that i would be fast enough to stop it but she has sped off and drove off in a such speed, she zpoomed into the night. I turned to the guards , the foolish men that were supposed to e guarding the gates and us inside the house"You fool! how could you ket her go huh? i should get your head for this you bastard, if anything happens to my wife today because you foolishly let her out of the safety of this mansion, i promise you, dear Santa will pay for your stupidity!" i sneered in his face as i referred to his fifteen year old daughter, i knew everything about each guard in this place, the cooks, nannies, everyone that was to come in or out of the mansion for at least three weeks did not come in without me knowing something about themI ran back into the mansion and towards Rapheal's door, knocking on it harsher than i intended, i waited till the door came open to reveal a dis
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWI watched the door for a moment as thouh it would suddenly disappear and i would wake up from this cruel dream but even as i stared hard at the door, it never opened neither did the room disappear, it had really happenedIt is just sex Sabine! sex betwen two adults, you were brought here for one purpose, revenge and now i discover that your FATHER is responsible for making my mother some sex slave!He had called Alvarez my father, like he did not know hot i felt about him now, after all Alvarez had done to me and my family, Dominic still referred to him as my father. I watched the door with tears in my eyes as my mind went back to the words he has said to meIt was not just the way he said it, it was the tone of his voice as he spoke and the look in his eyes as he spat those words at me without regard for my feelings. All i had meant was that he needed to relax and actually communicate with me about his feelings because sex would not fix the hollowness in his h
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWI slammed the door behind me as i walked forward in anger, the words i had spoken echoed behind me like a broken clock reminding me of the impact they must have had on herIt is just sex between adults,, not love Sabine, just sex!I had said to herIt was a lieA big fucking lie i utterred in rage at the words she has spoken which took me back to the orphanage and the foster care systen as the couple would look at me like i was an alien before they moved onto the other childre, the ones fit for the photos, the normal onesIt was not just the words i had spoken, it was the way she looked at me. She loked like i had broken her beyond repair as she stared at me with unshed tears that filled her eyes but se willfully prevented them from falling. It was the look of utter hurt and despair in her eyes as she stared at me in shock and hurtI had vowed that i would never hurt her no matter what but tonight, i had drawn tears from her eyes and made her look at me in desp
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWI bit into his neck as i tried to muffle my screams of pure ectasy as he drilled into me. He had gone three times now, this was our fourth . It was obvoius that he was angry from what he had heard and did not know how to react to the news"Ohh!" I moaned as he lifted my leg up and stretced it till it was behind my ear making me feel him in every inch as he thrusted in me hard and slowHe was trying to break me or at least my pussy and he was succeeding at it as he filled me up deliciously inch for inch"You like it don't you? tell me how much you love it baby" He whispered slowly in my ear in a raspy, husky tone which drove me crazy as i scratched his back in pure pleasure as i grew even wetter"I love it" I moaned as he sucked on my hardened nipples, he had bit, licked and rubbed them so much, they were now red for him as he suckled and gave them all his attention"Good girl, look at how well you are taking my cock, you're such a good wife aren't you baby?" he
