SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW TWO WEEKS BEFORE PRESENT DAYShe looked at me with nothing pure of shock in her eyes as she kept her mouth agape and her hands by her side"It can't be" she whispered loud enough for me to hear or maybe I was just too eager to hear what she had to say"I want to know everything" I said while sitting on the steel chair in front of her, Dominic moved from the corner of my eye, his posture tense and alert as though he was ready to strike her in case of anything I didn't think that would be needed though, she looked too frail to be worth the trouble "I am so sorry, if I knew" she said sobbing,. making me want to tear her throat out, her tears meant nothing to me, I wanted the truth and after that, she could be set on fire right in front of me and I would not bat an eyelid "It was a regular day, Arturo and I were secretly dating or just fucking, as he said to me later that week, I was supposed to get you ready for your piano recital later that day and we were out
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW The sound of the gun shot went off and smoke released from the mouth of the barrel but for some reason, she was not dead I looked up to see Dominic before me and my hand with the gun in the air, his grey eyes on me as they reflected nothing, as though he was shutting me out "Let me go" I said with a false calmness as I stared back at him but his hand in mine did not budge as it held me with not too much force. I knew he could easily subdue me and collect the gun but for some reason he was gentle "Do not shoot her" he said... no, he commanded "Why? why should I not? after all, she deserves this. My parents, my real parents, the ones I cpd not even meet because of her foolishness trusted her and for what for her to sell me off? " I said as I tried to keep the pain from my voice " I did not sell you" I heard her say amidst her sobs and I looked away from Dominic and stared at her as she tried to look composed, I looked into her eyes and stared hard. I had
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW I held my arm where the bullet had grazed as I stared at the dust that my soft caused as she drove off"Bo,, what do we do?" Lorenzo asked me as he stood a few feet from me"Let her go for the time being" I said standing Jo straight, I was lucky to have not suffered too much from the graze, it simply ached"For how long?" he asked "Till tomorrow morning, after that, I want her back home" I said"Yes boss" he said and walked off I looked back at Luciana who sat in fear and regret washed over her as she trembled in her seat" I'm sorry " she said to me" I am not the one you owe an apology too, my wife is hurt and heartbroken so you must dedicate your life to apologizing to her or else.... "I said making my threat plain " I will, it is the least I could do" she said" That and you will work with me in bringing that son of a bitch down, you are a link to him so you are valuable to me" I said" How would I do that? he does not care about me" she said making me
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW The car screeched to a halt as I parked abruptly by the road side breathing heavily as my mind spiraled I had no idea how long I had been driving or on the road for but I just knew that my fingers were trembling and my knuckles white I remembered as someone that was me used my own fingers to pull a gun on Dominic, my husband before I drove off after hijacking this car, was vaguely aware of my surroundings but was very surprised that he did not seek me put I looked out the road to see thaty car was the only one in sight, the cold dark night with the flies a blanket of stars surrounded me. I licked my cracked lips and swallowed My throat cracked and raged in need of some water, desperately. I looked around in the car hoping to see some water, I opened the small compartment behind me to see a gun, some knives and a bottle of water. After drinking it like it would be my last, I drove off the road again, no idea where I was driving to but I knew I needed som
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW Knock knock knockThe sound of my soft knocks made me almost chuckle, I remembered what my trainer said to me a few days ago after she beat my ass into the mat, we had trained for hours and my limbs felt like jelly, I was sweaty, sore and tired; I just wanted some sleep but she refused to ordering me to get up so we could go for another sparing match it was the fifth spar in four hours and her punches were a bitch, she hit me without care for the world because'If your bones break, it means you learn a lesson"" And what's that? " I asked as I laid on the mat exhausted and are as I tried to rein in my breathing,.she had just put me through another round of jumping through burning tires because according to her, it would keep me on my feet and I would need the skills it would teach me Incase I needed to fight or jump certain hurdles, I wanted a warm bath but she did not care"Can't we just take a break please?" I had asked her but she only shrugged her shoulder
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW She sat in front of me shaking visibly as I pointed the gun at her "Start talking" I commanded making her whimper audibly as she shrank back in her seat Her posture and demeanor had me thinking about how she ad Luciana were so different, while she was soft in her aura, Luciana desperately tried to mirror that and she failed but it was a hunch of mine that Luciana thought she was good at fooling people but she was horrible at it "What do you want to know?" she asked "I want to know everything from the time of my parents.... and do not try to fool me with that confusion, I know very well that you know exactly who I am" the spark of recognition in her eyes which she tried to hide was too evident to ignore "I remember you, I was your mother's nanny and I cooked for you sometimes" she said avoiding my eyes "Luciana says she was my nanny and cook and she never mentioned you so clarify " I said " Luciana has always been like that..... as a child she w
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW She stared at me perplexed and curious at my response "I'm sorry.... your wife?" she asked looking at me in that way people in her profession looked at their patients; she wanted to place a label on me"Yes, my wife. I find myself doing things I would not do regularly or.... ever with her. She has me...... confused" I said as my heart did that thing it did whenever the thought of her or of her voice or of anything related to her filled my mind, her brown curly wavy hair came to mind as I remembered how she struggled with it every morning, she had no idea but I had a camera in the room so even when I as not physically with her, she was out of my sight . The image of her cursing as she combed or tried to comb her hair came in. That same day, I had one of my housekeepers restock the house with the best products for her hair, all mango scented. Her obsession with the fruit becoming my favourite headache as I did my best to have everything she had mango flavoured
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW She sat beside me in the car, her entire posture gave off frightened as she shook like a kitten in the cold on the seat. I looked at her as I drove before shaking my head, so far I did not think she was lying but I definitely did not trust her. I looked at the back seat from the mirror to look at the little boy seated there in his car seat, he was a few months old so he was very much a baby, his pacifier fell and he started cryingLike she was scared that I would kill him for crying, she bolted out of her seat to pick it up before cleaning it up and placing it back in his mouth "I'm so sorry, It won't happen again" she whispered as she huddled in the chair as though she wanted it t swallow her up"I will not eat him, I'm not that much of a monster" I said to her, my focus back on the road. The road was clear, the path to he warehouse was quiet bereft of cars, it was the perfect place to conduct illegal activities, far from the prying eyes of others. "Have yo
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWWhen he said he was taking me out on a date, i did not know what to expect but honestly, it was definately not what was right in front of meIt was a roof top terrace filled with different yellow lights, tulips and white roses, as well as candles, different candles spread out in front of me and from where i stood, it looked like the candles spelt out a wordS-O-R-R-YThe candles spelt out the word sorry"What is this/" i turned to ask himHe stood behind me in such a way that made me think he was feeling awkward"I wanted to apologise for what i did, i should have never made you kill someone before you were ready to and honestly, asking how you felt would have been better than just rushing you into it like that. It must have been a fright" he said making me stuck with wordsI had never seen him apologise, ever. He was a king in his own world and the word sorry was definateky strange to heard someone so powerful say the word sorry to me"What.....why i do not un
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWI stood in front of the mirror in my room, barely recognising myself as i smoothed the wrinkles from my dress.My dress was yellow, a bright shade of the colour resembling sun flowers and sunlight, i couod smell the scent of mango from my body wash and my lotion. My hair, it was rolled in soft curls and packed in a beautiful updo that left my full soft curls falling on my shoulders and to my backMy neck was adorned with dainty gold jewelery and my ears, they had the most beautiful gold studs on them in the shape of a rose, my fingers and wrists were also adorned in banles and rings, all gold. Dominic always made sure i had an array of jewelery because 'you are my queen and nothing is too much when it comes to taking care of royalty such as you'I looked at my lips, i applied soft gloss on them to add to the look, once i was confident enough in my looks, i turned around to leave the roomMy hand on the door knob stilled as i thought'Is ths the right thing? sho
DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEWI stared at her as she swam in the pool not too far from me before looking to Lorenzo"How are we coming along with our arrow?" i asked him and he handed me a tablet"It is exactly as planned sir, the Arrow has infiltrated the spanish empire as Emilio's drug pusher in Milan, he has him coming in and out of his house as well as in charge of his major accounts" he said"Tell the arrow to be careful, If Emilio has him overseeing a postition so crucial, it means something is up, this mught be a sandbag" i said as i looked at Sabine. She came up with the brilliant idea to break everything apart from the inside. First by i nfiktrating their entire system with a few men of our own, we called the special team of fighters Arrows, the special team of those specialising in bombs our spears and those specialising in guns, the axes. She came up with the names, it felt weird but she would have whate ver she wanted no matter what. The war was on and everyone would not know
SABINE,S POINT OF VIEWPRESENT DAYI looked at the papers in my hands whispering "Its all really true, i really lived a lie" i whispered brokenly as a lone tear slipped down my cheek"You were doubting it?" he asked in a tone that made me think he was asking but at the same time, he was not. I looked up at him to see that he was suddenly blurry behind the tears that filled my vision "I don,t know, i guess a part of me hoped it was all a lie, that i was in some cruel dream or some sick prank and the curtains would fall for everyone behind the scenes to come out yelling 'APRIL FOOLS!' even though it is not even april yet but, its really all true" i said and laugyhed humourlessly before licking my lips and adding "I guess this looks pathetic to you" he simply looked at me with a blank face but in those grey eyes that i had come to really like.....i was not sure on love yet, i could see a flash of confusion"What would make you think that Tesoro? [treasure] he asked me"You know, i am
SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWI strapped two knives to my thigh and held my gun in hand before I walked into he warehouse. As stealthily as possible, I moved towards where I presumed Luciana was held"Mrs Vitello? you're back? um.... what are you doing?" Lorenzo asked me, shock evident on his face"I'm making sure we don't have a problem" I said before moving in quickly to the room she was inI opened the door to find her still seated but staring at the wall aimlessly "Luciana!" I yelled and she turned to look at me"Oh my dear...... what is going on?" she asked me but I was not fooled. Judging by the sick vindictive look in her eyes, I knew she was still pretending "Enough with the act Luciana!" I said and fired twice, one in her heart and the other between the eyes leaving no room for surprises as she dropped dead before me"Mrs Vitello! what have you done?!" Lorenzo yelled "Call your boss and have him down here immediately" I ordered as I tried to fight the feeling of betrayal in me,
