The two were still sucking up to me and apologizing because even two days later my face was still marked. Of course it wasn't as dark as it was before, but it was taking way longer to come off even though I was bathing and scrubbing my face close to four times a day.
I was milking their guilt though. Breakfast in bed, I don't have to lift a finger for anything in the house and Leonardo has dismissed me from doing any kind of work. So this is like the vacation I've always needed but never got the chance to ask for.
"It seems to be coming off a whole lot now," Leonardo said as he and Bennie watched me eat the breakfast that they brought for me. Yes, I call her Bennie now, because her full name is a mouthful and she seems to really like the nickname because even Leonardo is calling her Bennie so it's clearly catchy.
"You look a lot better," Bennie agreed with her father and I shrugged as I looked at the two, s
I know I should be keeping my distance but Arrigo refuses to let me. I should be in my room, sleeping or watching some documentary, not in Arrigo's massive kitchen with Bennie and him, while dressed in pyjamas, laughing hysterically as we decorate cupcakes and cookies that the chef had made for this particular activity."Really?" Bennie asked her father as she looked at his decorated cupcake and cookie.We were playing this silly game where Arrigo and I had to decorate a cupcake and a cookie to the best of our ability and Bennie would be the judge of it.The winner gets bragging rights and one of Bennie's sashes."What is this?" she asked her father, standing with her hands on her hips as she peered down at her father condescendingly. She was standing on the kitchen island so that she seemed superior wearing a chef's hat and white
*Violent Chapter*~"Bennie and I are going out for a date," Arrigo told me as he entered the basement and watched me train. I was trying to get my mind off my family but I was drowning in memories, "I'll come back home later on, then you and I can have dinner. You know, just the two of us," he told me as he walked up to me and planted a kiss on my lips and I let him.I closed my eyes and sighed, enjoying the way that he held me, "ok," I responded and he pecked me one last time before he walked out of the basement and I went back to emptying clip after clip.~That was an hour ago and I should have been making my way to my bedroom but I couldn't. I had to make a stop elsewhere.I looked behind me making sure that no one saw me as I walked to Arrigo's office and I opened the closed door sneaking into the dark office. I closed the door behind me
I wanted to make sure that I looked my best. I pulled out all of the stops for tonight. A long white and fancy dress with a slit that reached my upper thigh, letting my thick thigh escape through it. I purposefully crossed my legs, making sure to show more skin to drive Arrigo crazy. I had my wig straightened and laid flat against my head, my eyes smoky and dark to give me the look that I wanted.It worked like I knew that it would. Arrigo was a sucker for skin and sexual advances and that's what I kept doing. I kept moving my feet below the table, rubbing my high heel against his crotch as I listened to him promise me a passionate night.Arrigo had certainly pulled out all of the stops for this dinner. His large dining room was set up so lavishly and decadent with all sorts of food and candles; rose petals and sparkling wine, and all types of champagne.If I hadn't known that he'd killed my family, I would
Chapter 1I’ve always been different, always been the kind of girl
Chapter 2Being from Kasi meant one thing: we were the workers and
“Haibo, sisi, shesha! (Hurry up)” the Zulu taxi driver shouted at me as I struggled to get a hold of my suitcase so that I can get off the taxi. The other passengers watched on as I was the victim of the infamous Zulu driver verbal attacks about taking my own time to get off the taxi and how he had to get to Marabastad quickly.
When I entered the restaurant, I was taken away by the ambience of the room and the sophistication it held. There was this air of both opulence and relaxation. The fairy lights around the room created a romantic aura and the low lighting helped to set a bit of a romantic mood. There were round table and tiffany chairs around the restaurant with white linen table cloths and scented candles. The place was bare though and customers hadn’t been let in yet but a group of beautiful ladies were leaning against the bar. They cheered when they set their sight on my brot
I was enjoying staying at my brother’s home for many reasons but the main reason being, having a lot of space. Now, again, Jabu did buy a bigger family home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms but our family home was nothing compared to the five bedroom five bathroom home. The bathroom has so much space and not to mention the endless supply of food in Jabu’s kitchen. You would swear that he lived with an army of starved men, but it was just him alone.

"Shh, shh," I heard a giggle as I felt something being applied to my face and I fought to not open my eyes."She looks ridiculous," I heard Leonardo whisper to his daughter before they both burst out laughing in soft whispers as they continue their assault on my face."But you'll wake her up if you keep laughing, daddy, now hurry up and colour her nose red," I heard Benedetta scold her father before she burst into a fit of giggles.I've been awake since the very moment they both decided to wake up and conspired to make me look like a clown. I would've told them I was awake but I wanted to see if they had the guts to do what they were planning on doing and it turns out, they do.I've been patiently lying here with my eyes closed and breathing laboured to make sure they believe that I'm fast asleep. I felt too bad to wake up now since they were both so excited to do this together.
I walked towards Leonardo's bedroom wanting to speak to him about my ammunition. I'd ran out of bullets yesterday morning and he hasn't replaced them and that to me is a very big issue because that hinders my training. I stood at his bedroom door hoping that I wouldn't walk into anything strange or R rated because I really just wanted to say what I needed to say and walk out.I pray he won't be in that sad mood, as much as I knew that I should let him be, he needs to man up. He's been locked up in his room for two days, he needs to pull his socks up and deal with what he did those years ago and let it go.I know that sounds rich coming from me, but how long will he hold this in? How long will he keep this burden of guilt? He should try to spend as much time with his daughter as possible and raise her to be the best that she can be.But hey, what do I know? I'm not i
Am I sweating? Oh God, I think I'm sweating. Why the fuck am I breathing so loud? Do I have a booger up my nose or what because I swear it sounds like a whistle? No ways, there's no way that I have a booger up there, I just took a shower and made sure I thoroughly cleaned myself. For crying out loud, I even blew my nose.Oh God, I hope I brushed my teeth properly and none of them are a little bit yellow or worse...bad breath.This is so stupid of me, why am I so damn nervous? I'm not afraid of this little girl, who was sitting across from me in the massive dining room, and watching me with scrutinizing eyes so I met her glare with the same intensity.I swear Benedetta is too adult for a child. In fact, she's not a child, she's a grown adult trapped in a little girl's body because she was making me feel nervous.I mean, what do I say to a child? Hello, do you like toys? What's your favou
After that fateful day, things went back to normal. It was like Salvatore was a storm who came and caused wreckage in our lives and the second that he left, Leonardo and I picked up the pieces and rebuilt whatever we had before.Life went back to normal, I went back to being Unicorn, the real Unicorn and Leonardo went back to being Leonardo. We fell back into our old routine of not being in each other's way unless he called for me. It's been two weeks since then, and I've fallen back into my daily routine.Except today, Leonardo and I were going to check on some of his shipment and distribute it while we're at the harbour. Just like we used to do before, I'm sitting in the driver's seat of his Rolls Royce Sweptail, driving towards one of his many private harbours and he's sitting in the passenger seat, peacefully drinking his brandy as he looks out of his window.I'
I didn't want to, I really didn't but for the first time since I've become Unicorn, I wanted to cry. I wanted to break down and sob because I had this little bit of hope that he would actually stay. After everything that we did last night, I opened up my heart for him. I let him in, in ways that I've never let anyone else into my life.
