I didn’t care if he was going to be angry that I was about to drink water without his permission, I picked up the whole jar of water and drank. Rejoicing on how the water washed down my throat, cooling my stomach. I was still drinking when the jar was pulled away from my hand and Lorenzo’s angry face came into my view. I knew I had gotten on his nerves and for some reason, I didn’t care. If he thought I was going to be tied down, waiting to be at his beck and command because I had agreed to be his pet, then he had no idea what was coming his way.He came close to me and gripped my neck, slamming me to the wall. Pain shot through my spine at his action. My body was still sore from the rough sex we had so his grip on me and the way he had pushed me made my head spin. But I wasn’t going to look weak before him. I glared at him, my eyes filled with so much hatred.He tightened his hand around my neck, choking me until I was struggling to breathe. Veins were bulging out from my neck and m
Lorenzo’s POV.I clenched the gun in my hand and pulled its trigger. I watched as it dived through the thin air before sinking deep into the middle of the target at the far end of the shooting range. I didn’t understand why, but seeing Honey walking around half naked and without a care in the world that others were watching her made me so furious. She was mine! And the sooner she knew that, the easier it would be for her!I needed to do something to release my anger. And this was the reason I had gone to my indoor shooting range and was endlessly shooting at the innocent targets. I balanced the gun in my hands as I aimed for the center of the head of the shooting target before shooting at it again. The sound of the gunshot echoed around every corner of the room. I knew I had to get out of that house before I lost my cool. I wasn’t known to be a patient man and Honey was pushing me to the edge. If she kept acting like that and disobeying my commands, I might have ended up putting a b
Lorenzo’s POV Carlo frowned before giving Mateo a weird look. “Hell no! Why will I do that?” He asked. “What I’m trying to say is that I’m planning on going out with her.”Mateo blinked. “Are you trying to say you want that stripper to be your girlfriend?”“Yes.”I stopped shooting and walked up to them. I cleaned my face with a handkerchief before slumping down on the chair close to Carlo. Mateo didn’t pay attention to my presence as he was still looking shocked at what Carlo had told him. To be honest, I was also shocked. Carlo was a smooth heartbreaker who had never dated a woman before. He believed in having sex with them once before dumping them and now, out of nowhere, he was ready to date a stripper who he had just met the previous night. That was crazy to think about.“Are you fucking serous?” Mateo exclaimed, looking at Carlo. “Like, I mean, Carlo all my life I have known you as a playboy and now you met a chick last night and you are thinking of stepping it up?” He purses
Honey’s POV. Lorenzo hadn’t returned since he left in the morning. I had been taken back to my room and this time, Madam Q ensured the door was locked so I was basically restricted from going anywhere. It was a good thing I wasn’t bound with any of those ridiculous ropes. It gave me a chance to observe the room I had been locked in. Throughout the day, I had searched every nook and cranny of the room for any clues on how I could escape from this hell of a place, but Lorenzo was smart. He hadn’t left anything to aid my escape plan. It would have been easier if I could get my hands on a phone. I would have been able to reveal my location to the police so that they could come to my rescue. When I hadn’t found anything of good use, I had remained in my bed, deriving satisfaction from making up different scenarios in my head on how I would get back at Lorenzo for locking me up here. I was thinking about poisoning his drink when the knob in the door turned and the door opened. Heavy foo
Honey’s POVI was quiet throughout the flight to Sicily. He had ensured I was tied to a seat and wasn’t even allowed to ease myself. Throughout the flight, I kept thinking about the deadly glint in his eyes when he had shot that man. How little he had cared about taking away one’s life. And right now, he had my life in his palm. Gosh, I closed my eyes. I didn’t even want to think about whatever he had planned out for me in Sicily. I just wanted to go back home to my parents. I wanted to forget ever meeting him or knowing him.We landed in Sicily in the middle of the night. There were fancy cars waiting for us the moment we got down from the private jet. The masked man came to where I was tied to a seat and I glared at him as he untied me. The moment the private jet landed, Lorenzo and his men had stood up and gotten down. So it was basically only me and this masked man left along with the stewards and pilots.“You need to get down.”I shook my head and shoved myself into the seat,
I was shown the room I would be staying in and the moment the lady left me alone, I rushed to the door and yanked it open. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach when I saw that it was locked. I bit my lip, thinking of how I could escape. Maybe I could try to find a way to ask that kind lady for help. She could help me alert the police about my whereabouts so that they could rescue me. I was still deep in thought when the door opened and Lorenzo came inside. He seemed a little drunk as he walked up to me. His eyes narrowed as he observed me sitting on the bed before saying the word I was starting to hate. “Strip,” he commanded. It was unwise to disobey him or provoke him when my life was at his disposal so I did what he asked and untied my robe, letting it slip from my body. My whole body still aches from how he had roughly had his way with me the previous night. I wasn’t sure I could handle the pain of him fucking me tonight. “Lorenzo, please I’m tired,” I started. “Can we do
Honey’s POV.I sat at the back of the car, watching through the window as the world blurred away around me. Carlo was sitting at the front seat with his girlfriend and was blasting a loud music which his girlfriend was singing along to while smiling with him. They looked like a perfect peaceful couple, contradicting whatever the hell was happening between me and Lorenzo. Lorenzo wanted me to follow him to an event and had told Carlo to take me to a boutique to get a dress adequate for the night event. I sighed, resting my head on the back seat. I have no idea what this event was going to be about. I was starting to realize how dark and heartless Lorenzo could be, if anything was going to happen to me in this event, he wouldn’t even have a care in the world. Watching how jovial Carlo’s girlfriend was with him caused a twinge in my heart. When I first met Lorenzo, I had had a daydream of a moment like this. Us alone in a car, singing and laughing to ourselves. I shook my head, brush
I was expecting Avery to be shocked, even scared, but she looked unbothered. The next thing she said was like the last hammer to my doom.“I know.”I blinked, not quite believing my ears. “You do?” I asked. “Then, why are you still here with him?”There had to be a reason why Avery could have chosen to stay with Carlo despite knowing how dangerous he could be. Avery shrugged. “I have my reasons,” she said, looking back at the closed door of the dressing room like she was bothered about wasting time with me. “I just need you to know this, you need to stay strong. If there is any way I can help you, just let me know.”I nodded. She wasn’t going to explain herself to me and I didn’t even need to know anything. I just needed her help. “I need you to call the police,” I said quickly. “Tell them about my location.”She looked at me in an odd manner and my body stiffened when she laughed. “Honey, the police can’t help you,” she pointed out as if stating the obvious. “They work for Lorenz
Honey.Lorenzo’s men approached us and raised him from me. They hauled him into a black sedan, tires screeching as they sped off. Others chased after Carlo. Lorenzo was immediately taken to the hospital and attended to upon arrival. His men waited with me outside the OR. I paced around the narrow hallway, both shocked and worried that Lorenzo had saved me. Just a night before, he had threatened to kill me so why did he save me?Why?The question spun in my head until the world tilted. My knees buckled, and the cold tiles rushed up to meet me. I collapsed by the OR doors, darkness swallowing me whole.The moment I woke, I found myself in a ward, wearing a blue hospital gown and lying in a bed. I sat up, looking around in confusion. How long had I passed out and why?I must have fainted because of all the anxiety and pressure I was under. I brushed aside the bedsheet and got down from the bed. Something stung my wrist, tugging tightly. I looked down at it, surprised to see an IV fluid in
Honey.“No, it can’t be true,” I shook my head, denying the truth. “Michael brought me to you, he told me he found out that you were kidnapped.”Desola sighed. “How did you think he was able to find me?” Desola was right. How had I not thought about it?I was about to say something when I heard gunshots. Shit! They had been caught! I grabbed Desola’s hand, running.“What’s going on?” Desola asked, watching in confusion as people ran out of the hall in panic when they heard the gunshots. “There is no time to explain, we need to leave now,” I ran into a corner which looked like a private pool area. Dead end.I cursed under my breath. If only I had paid attention when Daniyi gave me the tour—where was the damn exit?We pivoted back, running along with the crowd and managed to get out of the building. Outside, chaos reigned. Michael's men were everywhere, trying to escape as they shot at the security guards. Stray bullets sprayed around, some hitting the party guests. I gripped Desola’
Honey.Soon, it was time to go to Daniyi’s mansion for his weekend party. I wore a red sparkling gown that accentuated my curves. Michael followed me to the party as my plus one. This actually worked in his flavour as it gave him an easy access Dainiyi’s mansion before he carried out the heist.When we got to Daniyi’s mansion, we were led to the grand living room, away from where the party was going on. It turned out Amir Daniyi wanted to see me before taking me to the party. The living room was quiet and one of the mansion staff had directed us to have our seats while waiting for him. Although I had been to a lot of mansions, his house topped it off. One could get lost in the mansion without ever finding their way back. Yeah, that was how broad it was.“Finally, the star for tonight has arrived!” Daniyi said with a broad smile as he walked out of an opened lift at the left side of the grand living room. He wore a designated black Thobe and his hair was covered with a black and white
20: Now Shoot.Honey.Seeing how scared I was, Michael stepped forward, narrowing his eyes down at Lorenzo. “I think you should leave now,” he said with a serious tone. Lorenzo smirked. He stood up and looked at me. “Don’t think he can save you.”A chill ran down my spine at his words. When Lorenzo walked out of the event hall, Michael looked at me. “What was that about?” I didn’t know if it was good to add Michael to what was happening so I decided not to fill him in on the details. “It is nothing,” I lied. Michael didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t force me to say the truth. Soon, the event hall got filled. People sat at different tables, enjoying the activities of the event. When it came for the announcement of the winner of the All Star Award,my breath was in my throat as I knew they were going to call my name. I watched as the Host slowly opened the card he was holding which contained the name of the winner for the event. “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner for the award Sta
Honey.Tonight was the night of the All Star Award ceremony. Given how famous I became in a few months, an entertainment company came to film my preparation for the night event. I tried my best to look relaxed and excited for the show while being filmed, but the truth was that I wasn’t in any way relaxed. Tonight was the night everything will set in place. Michael had done all this so I would be able to get him easy access to the painting in Daniyi’s private museum, but what if I got caught?I didn’t even want to think about it. Michael walked into the dressing room after I had gotten dressed and was fully prepared for the show. He had designed the dressing room for me when he heard I was going to be filmed while preparing for the Award ceremony. While still checking myself out in the window, he came close and leaned close to me. “Do you remember everything I told you?”I became tense. I knew what he was asking about. He had told me to act like I wasn't certain I was going to win
Lorenzo. Honey had moved on so fast. It had been just two months that she had been with Michael and now they were trending all over the media as a power couple. Everything about it infuriated me. I knew Honey was a slut, but I didn’t expect that bitch to throw herself to another man that easily after being taken away from me. You could have imagined my annoyance when I had gone to rescue her only to see another man's love bite on her neck. She didn’t even try to hide it, she was flaunting it like a fucking whore. I clenched my hands, watching her on my television in my living room. She was being filmed as she prepared for a late night award show. The All Star Award. Only big names in the entertainment industry get a chance to be nominated for that award. And in just two months of being with Michael, she got madly famous and was even nominated. I knew there was more to it. Honey was a good fuck, but even I knew a man like Michael wouldn’t pulled all those strings just to help Honey
He sat up, laughing. “Don’t be so serious, it doesn’t suit you.”I adjusted my clothes, feeling more urged to leave. I picked up my purse and was about to walk out when the door to the private room opened and a stripper walked in, wearing only lingeries which barely covered her body. I narrowed my eyes as the stripper stepped on the stage at the center of the private room we were sitting in, she seemed not to be looking at us, only concentrating on giving us a show. It was hard to see her face as she was wearing a black face mask. The stripper brushed her hand slightly along the pole, taking slow steps around it before arching her back as she leaned on the pole seductively. I became even more uncomfortable when she started dancing around the pole. Occasionally, she would tease us by pulling at her lingeries, caressing her hands along her body or showing off her nice curves. She was good at her job, I wouldn’t deny that, but what got me standing still as I looked at her was how familia
Honey.Today was hectic, I had five interviews in a span of eight hours. There had been more need to address the public and attend several occasions after my new album went viral and now that I was more famous and known to be dating one of LA most eligible bachelors, Micheal, the media had been going crazy. Although I loved the attention and the impact it was making in my music career, I just wanted my deal with Michael to come to an end as soon as possible. I hated the fact that he followed me everywhere, including places he wasn't even needed at.Right now, we were in his car driving back to his Villa. After all the activities of the day, I was tired and eager to lay down on my bed and rest. You could imagine my surprise when I noticed the car swerved from the usual route and took a u-turn to another direction. I sat up and frowned at Michael who was sitting beside me. “What’s going on?” I asked. “Why are we changing direction?”He leaned on his seat and shrugged. “I changed my min
Honey We got to my family house not long after my parent and Amelia had gotten down from the taxi. Since none of us had been home since the incident, my mother had had some people decorate the whole house. My Father remained in the living room, looking in awe at the new interior design of the house. My mother squatted and hugged him. “Welcome home,” she said, her voice softened with affection. Seeing how much my parents loved each other, it wasn’t a surprise that I wanted a love as pure as theirs. But I seek it in the wrong man. I shook my head, dismissing Lorenzo from my thoughts. Today was about my family. Today was about celebrating the lives that Lorenzo wanted to destroy. I joined my mother in the hug. “I’m so glad that we are all here and alive.”Amelia didn’t join in the hug. She took the duffle bags she had carried from the hospital upstairs. When she came downstairs, we had broken the hug and were already prepping for lunch. Despite how much I had told Michael not to stay
