(THE PRESENT)

CAILY GALILEO

"Two hundred thousand dollars." The words left my lips as I rested my head in my hands, my shoulders hunched.

"Two hundred thousand dollars." I muttered the words over and over again like I was going crazy and I indeed was going crazy.

With such debt, how would I not go crazy?

Picture having the kindest aunt ever, the type of aunt who would pull you close and accept you into her life the moment you lose your parent. That was my Aunt Mandy. She would do anything for me and she had done a lot but however in the world she had slipped into the worst depression and this kind of debt while I was away for my last year of college was baffling.

My Aunt was never the type to do drugs. She barely drank, even but she had met that bastard named Carlos.

"Yes, Carlos!" I shot up from my seat and all eyes immediately turned to me.

"Are you okay, Caily?" Trisha asked from her desk. She was my friend and coworker.

"I... I am fine. I am sorry." I whispered to the others and embarrassedly lowered myself back to my seat. I looked at my screen and only felt my head ache badly.

I had barely been able to work all day. Having my aunt call and tell me about such debt on a work morning was enough to destabilise me and ruin the image of the picture perfect life I thought I would ever have.

How in the world was I ever going to get such amount of money and save my aunt from being killed by the loan sharks?

And even after the repaying the lone, I would need a lot more money to take my Aunt away from Carlos and perhaps put her in rehab. How would I ever get the money for all that?

I sighed softly. Only a few seconds had passed before Trisha walked up to my desk.

"Caily." she called my name gently, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" She sounded concerned.

"Yes, I am fine. Totally." I masked up with a smile but she didn't seem convinced. Her eyes were squinted at me for the next few seconds before she eased up, smoothening the frown from her face with a small smile.

"Alright then. Can I have your hairtie?" She requested.

"Sure." I reached for a yellow hairtie on my table and handed it to her but Trisha frowned a bit.

"I like the blue one you have on your hair right now, can you give me that one instead?" She asked and I pursed my lips for a second before agreeing.

"Fine."

A hairtie was the very least of my concern anyways. I reached my hand to my hair and pulled off the blue hairtie, letting my hair down.

"Thank you, you're such a darling." she took the hairtie with a smile.

I watched her leave to her seat and I picked the yellow hairtie she had refused. For a reason I had no idea about, Trisha was always interested in my hair ties. She took at least two hair ties from me every week and she never took a new one, she always took the one I was wearing at that moment or the one I had worn already.

Sometimes I felt uncomfortable about it but I couldn't say no to her request. It was just a hairtie anyways.

I tied my hair up with the yellow hairtie and returned my gaze to my screen. There was no way I was going to be able to work at all today.

I glanced at the time on my phone. It was just a few minutes before work would close for the day and I honestly couldn't wait for this terrible day to be over.

"Caily" A shrill voice came from behind me and I gritted my teeth, knowing exactly who that was.

"Caily" Black, shiny heels stopped beside me.

"Mind if I trouble you a little bit with entering the data to be submitted tomorrow? I really need to go see my man tomorrow, he called me and told me he's sick. It would be bad if I don't go over and take care of him, so please?" It was Annie. She always had something else to do outside work and ended up having to beg others to help her out with her work. Her favourite person to ask for help? Me.

"I am sorry but I have a lot to..." I tried to refuse.

"Caily, you never have a lot to do." she cut me off softly.

"You always finish your work on time and have a lot of free time."

"But not this time, I am... I haven't worked at all day." I pointed to the small pile of documents on my desk but she didn't look. Instead, she grabbed my hands, an anxious look in her eyes.

"Please Caily, the poor guy is sick and I need to help him. You aren't going to let his condition worsen, are you?" Her eyes searched mine for my answer.

'Tell her you can't. Tell her you can't' a voice said in my head. I had to learn how to say no.

"Alright, I will do it." were the words that left my lips instead.

"I knew it. You are such a darling." she kissed me on the cheek and hurried off to her desk, her heels clicking noisily with every step she took.

I sighed and palmed my face. On a normal day, this would not be an issue for me at all but today was nothing close to a normal day.

A few minutes later, everyone was leaving already but I stayed back. I had to do my work for the day before leaving as I wouldn't be able to handle doing it tomorrow since I had to enter the data for Annie.

I picked the first document on my desk, flipped it open and...

'I am in debt, Caily. I will be killed.' those words from Aunt Mandy haunted me.

"Caily, you are not fine." Trisha's voice was conclusive as she pulled a chair to my side and sat down.

She held my hands and made me turn to face her but I kept my head lowered, my gaze on the tiled floor.

"Caily, you don't have much friends and perhaps we are not very close yet but you know you can tell me what's hurting you. Who knows? I could be of help." her voice was gentle and almost soothing.

"My... My problem is too huge." I said, trying to put an end to the conversation. Trisha could not help me with this.

"You always help everyone here, you should be helped too. I don't know if the others are so blind not to see that you are in need of help but I am willing to help."

"No, this is too much. You don't understand, Trisha..."

"Just tell me what it is about." she coaxed, hands gently massaging mine.

"Fine. I am in debt. My aunt is in debt and she has loan sharks after her. Two hundred thousand! However in the world am I supposed to get that amount of money?" I pulled my hands out of hers and palmed my face again.

"Hey Caily, it's fine. It will be fine." A comforting hand to my shoulder. Small pats.

That was all she or anyone could offer to me. And as good as that was, it couldn't solve this problem of mine.

"I have a solution for you, Caily."

My hands dropped from my face, brows arching as I looked at her.

"What solution?" I asked, picking my words slowly. What solution could there be to getting two hundred thousand in three weeks?

"There's this site you can make money from." She started and my face immediately fell.

"Oh please, Trish. A dollar or two isn't what's going to help me pay that amount of money in three weeks."

"Let me land, Caily Galileo." She grumbled with a small pout of annoyance at my interception.

I pressed my lips into a thin line and let her continue speaking but I didn't have much interest anymore.

"This site is a private site but I can share you the link. You are not allowed to share it to others though. On this site, you can meet with elite men who..."

"I have a boyfriend, Trish. I am not going to cheat on him for money and even with those elite men, I am not going to make quarter that amount."

"Oh please, Caily. Can your boyfriend help you out in this situation? And also you don't even have to meet with these men so it's not really cheating. You can find a man on the site willing to pay you good bucks for just chatting with him. You will get more from just phone sex. No one touches you, you touch no one. Just speak to them and watch the money flow in and if you want to take it up a notch, you talk to them about it."

I sat motionless for the next few seconds, taking in Trisha's words. It really wasn't cheating, right? And I was doing this for Aunt Mandy, not for myself. I would never consider doing it if I wasn't in this dire situation.

"Your Aunt needs your help and I think this is the easiest way you can make money, Caily." Trisha pushed, a little too eagerly.

"How much can I make per session?" I whispered the words like they were illicit words.

"Five thousand? Ten thousand?" She shrugged her shoulders lightly and my eyes widened, a gasp leaving me.

"That much?"

"The men on this site are fucking wealthy. It's nothing to them. So, are you in or are you going to search for other ways to get two hundred thousand in three weeks?" She asked.

My eyes were definitely reflecting my fear, my hesitation and my doubt about all this. I shut my eyes, lips pressed thin.

Behind my closed eyes, I could see Aunt Mandy and her caring smile, the beads of sweats on her forehead as she worked hard for me. She deserved all the help I could ever give to her. She was the only family I had left and I had to help her the best I could.

"I am in." I opened my eyes and looked Trisha dead in the eyes.

"Send me the link."

"Good decision." A small smirk lifted her lips.

    (THE PAST)PIETRO GIACOMETTIIt's been five years since that framed drawing of the sun and rainbow hung in my bedroom. Five years since the thoughts of that girl started occupying my head daily.Peaches was my first thought and my last thought every single day. She was still the go-happy girl she had been five years ago, she still wore that same bright smile that looked new every fucking time. And yes, she still wore perfume that had the scent of Peaches. I might have been giving her bottles of those perfume though to ensure she never changed that scent. I ran my fingers gently over the bracelet Peaches had made for my eighteenth birthday. A cute, pink bracelet that my father thought was childish. I didn't give a fuck about his opinions though. He could keep his opinions to himself.If I had gotten the bracelet from anyone else, I would probably have thought the same as my father but it was from her and I sure as hell loved the bracelet."Pietro."

    (THE PRESENT)PIETRO GIACOMETTI "Pretty. Pretty, Pretty Peaches." I let my fingers gently move across the screen on her latest picture I had. My Peaches was the prettiest woman in my world and in every other world that could exist. This pretty brown hair, her brows, pretty nose and pursed lips. Her face couldn't conceal how innocent she still was and I doubted if she ever wanted to conceal that. She was always happy being this innocent, pretty woman. I glanced at the time, retracting my fingers from her picture. 8:31pm. A knock came on the door of the study at that same time and I knew exactly who it was at the door. I clicked a button on the remote and the door opened with a beep. Few seconds later, Trisha walked in and stopped just before my desk. "Here it is, boss." she dropped a small ziploc bag on the table. I narrowed my eyes at the ziploc bag, a scowl forming on my face. "Used?" I asked the same question I always asked whenever it was brought to me. "Yes, she was wearin

    (THE PAST)CAILY GALILEO Everyone says Pietro is a monster. Everyone here stays away from him and even my father tells me to stay away from Pietro but I can't because I don't see Pietro as a monster. Pietro is nice to me and he protects me. I would definitely have been bullied several times by the other children if it wasn't for him. It was also because of Pietro that I could attend the expensive school I was attending. My father had intended to refuse the favour but Pietro had ensured that we took it and I was more than elated to be able to go to such an expensive school. It wasn't all rosy there at first but with Pietro, everything had been settled very easily. But I wouldn't deny the fact that Pietro can be a little violent. This morning, I had been so scared when he stabbed Journie. I don't like it when Pietro gets violent but I know he would change. I believe everyone in the world can change and this negative part of Pietro can definitely change. "Here. What are you thinki

    (THE PAST) PIETRO GIACOMETTI Something was wrong today. There were a lot of things I could be mistaken about but there was not a thing about Caily that I could be mistaken about. She had stepped out at exactly the time she was supposed to, she had given me those same bright smiles, she had grabbed my arm excitedly, a huge grin on her face but something wasn’t right about those smiles and about the way she grabbed my arm. Those smiles had seemed forced and her eyes had not been as bright as they always were. And the way she had grabbed my arm? And she had grabbed my arms too firmly, like she needed me to protect her urgently. “Something happened. What happened?” I questioned, my brows tightly knitted together. “Happened?” She knitted her brows too, in confusion. Feigned confusion. “Peaches, who messed with you?” I reached for her hand and held one. For a second, vulnerability flashed in her eyes but it was gone the next second, replaced by happiness and brightness. FAKE. “No

    (THE PRESENT)CAILY GALILEO‘Was this right?’ That was the question I had been asking myself all day. I had visited the site through the link Trisha sent me last night and after scrolling through and shying away from what I was there to do for about an hour, I had finally sent a message.But I had grown anxious the moment I sent the message and so I had hurriedly dropped my phone and gone off to sleep right after. All throughout the day, I had not visited the site to check if I had gotten a response from the person I sent the message to. It felt wrong to do it. Felt wrong to have sent the message and it felt wrong to be hoping I get replied. The ringing of my phone made me look away from my screen; the data entry. It was Dylan, my boyfriend calling. I felt my body tense a bit, wondering over again what Dylan would think if he ever found out I was about doing this. He'd feel cheated on, wouldn't he?I picked my phone up, got on my feet and walked away from the office to avoid bother

    THE PASTPIETRO GIACOMETTIHer window was open and I was standing right outside, leaning against the tree by her window side and gently twirling the knife in my hands. I had been here for about two hours already but no one had approached the house or her room. The tree I was standing underneath was quite shady and in the darkness of the night, I could not be noticed by anyone so there was no way the bastard had noticed me and decided not to come closer.The night was cold, awfully cold and I had to rub my palms together regularly to create a little bit of heat. I could choose go to my room, grab some thick clothes and get back here but a lot could happen in those few minutes and I wasn’t going to not protect what belonged to me over a cold night.Another hour passed and the cold night was starting to be more than just a cold night. There was a little drizzle of rain but not even that could deter me. I was going to spend every hour of every night here until I get the bastard.There wa

    THE PRESENT CAILY GALILEO My heart was pounding and I was nervous. Very nervous. I was going to make a stranger cum over a phone and I had zero idea about what to do! I had never even made anyone cum before! With that realisation striking me, I quickly tried to search for how to phone sex but before the results could load, a call had already popped in. I swallowed, feeling small beads of sweats find their way to my forehead. My most asked question of the day popped into my brain yet again. 'WAS THIS RIGHT?' I cleared my throat and let out a soft ‘hello’ before actually picking the call. I was shaking a foot terribly now and my palms were very sweaty. “Hey beautiful.” His voice. His voice was all it took for me to stop shaking my foot in nervousness. A small blush reddened my cheek as I stared at the wall with slightly widened eyes. Why was his voice so… so hot and attractive? His voice sounded so deep and… “Hello.” I said back to him softly, reminding myself that this was

    THE PAST CAILY GALILEO I should have believed it when the others said it. I should have listened when I was told that Pietro was a monster. I should have chosen to be friends with the others and stick by their bullying instead of believing for a second that Pietro was human. He wasn't human. He was the farthest thing from being human. The tears rolled down non stop and I had given up on brushing those tears away. They wouldn't stop anyway, no matter how many times I did so. I only needed the image of that monster stabbing my father to appear in my head and the tears would start pouring all over again. "It's alright, Caily. Wipe your tears." Mr. Giacometti's voice filled my ears and I sat up, adjusting myself on the couch. "I have called for your Aunt and she will be here to pick you up soon." He added as he walked up to me and handed a cup of hot chocolate to me. "I have gotten to know from watching Pietro buy loads of chocolates that you fancy chocolates a lot" he said and I

I kissed her pouted lips, feeling a burst of excitement. I could not hold back the grin on my face."What's funny?" She asked, a small playful frown on her face. "Funny? Is it funny? I do not think so.""Then why are you grinning?"I moved a hand to her chin and kissed her on the lips. "Because..." I kissed her again. "You could have sworn a couple weeks ago that you would never..." Another kiss. "Never ever..." Kisses. "Lift your head towards me for a kiss." I kissed her and saw her face turn flustered. "Well, people change." She tried to hide her smile. "And this change... It's the best change I could ever witness in my lifetime." I kept my hand on her chin to prevent her from looking away from me. "Don't look away. I love it when you look at me. I love how you look at me.""And how do I look at you?" More i

    CAILY GALILEO Hard. Fast. Wrecking. Those were the thrusts I was getting from behind with my head pressed to the dinning table. My pussy walls were being stretched and my lips let out, desperate, slutty moans as well as pleas."Hmm... Fuck..." A spank to my ass, his hand pushing my face against the table as he fucked me hard. "Aaah... Aaah" I whimpered and moaned as his deep strokes hit a spot too good for me to keep holding back. "Please sir, I will do anything. Please let me cum" I begged as he fucked me mercilessly, like he was enacting some sort of revenge on my pussy. My body quivered and shook, my toes curled and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. "Whether I let you cum or not, you will do anything I ask you to..." He corrected me and I cried out, knowing that was true. "I will! I will do it all... Please... Oh fuck... Ah! Heav... Pie... Pietro! Fuck!" I groped my tits and squeezed desperately hard, trying to hold back my orgasm. It was like trying to tie a wild wolf

    CAILY GALILEO On my knees. Hands locked behind my back. A strong hand in hair. Cock in mouth. I was exactly where I needed to be. In front of a man, my man with his hard cock in my mouth while he relished the meal I had made for him. "Hmmm" I moaned around his cock head before letting his cock out of my mouth and running my tongue all over the head of his cock.The grunt of pleasure that left his throat was straight to my pussy. Wet, horny and very much in need of Pietro's cock filling me up again.My nipples were hard against the fabric of my blouse and my entire body ached for him as I tried to direct all my need to licking his cock. The taste of Pietro's cock was addictive to me and I had fucking missed it too over the past few days. I moved my mouth back to the head and slowly took his thick, hard cock into my mouth, taking him in ever slowly and feeling every inch that I could let in to my mouth. "Fuck..." He growled as I took him in further than I had been doing earlier.

    PIETRO GIACOMETTI "DINNER!" Caily had a big smile on her face as she showed me to the private dinning room. The table was filled with several dishes and the aroma of the dishes hit me but I was immediately calculating how long it would have taken her to get this ready. "Heavens" I gasped, walking further in. "Peaches. How long did you spend cooking?" I faced her."Not that long and it's nothing at all. As long as you eat loads of it, I am going to feel fulfilled enough." She had a huge, proud smile on her face."Oh baby, trust me to stuff myself full..." I raised her chin, lowered my head and kissed her on the lips before yanking her off the floor, pulling a chair and settling myself into the chair as I settled her onto my laps. "I need to feel you more. It's been four days." I said to her and she pulled her body closer to mine, a soft giggle leaving her. A giggle that soothed me. "Shall we begin, then?" She asked softly."Absolutely but aren't we forgetting something? You said

    CAILY GALILEO "I am alright. Perfectly so, especially now that you are back. God, I missed you so much, Pietro" I leaned my face into the warmth of his palm, my eyes meeting with his intense gaze that held both love and need for me. "I love you so fucking much too, Pietro" I whispered to him, not able to get my voice over a whisper anymore. My body was automatically melting against his body.The car door shut, an indication that the driver was now out of the car. I had not even thought about the presence of the driver when I threw myself on Pietro. "I have missed you terribly." He groaned and with his gentle and yet firm hold of my waist and my face, he pulled me closer to him slowly, his gaze flickering between my eyes and lips and the moment, our lips touched, he ravaged mine. That snapping groan that left him and the moan of satisfaction and need that left me warped perfectly as his lips sucked on mine, kissing me hard as his hand on my waist moved to my ass and gave it a grope

I will be back when I am certain the reason I am here in the first place is fine." I gritted the words out and Mandy instantly shot up to her feet. "What is wrong with Caily?""I have no fucking idea. She visited an hospital out of the blues and she's lying to me it's just a fucking casual medical checkup. She is not fucking telling me the exact reason why she visited an hospital and the little bastards I left around her can't seem to point out what is wrong with her either!" I let out, feeling the rage run through me more aggressively for a few seconds. Mandy stared at me for a few seconds with no response and I really didn't have that patience right now. I grabbed the door knob but her voice stopped me. "You don't have to come back. You already finished what you were here for."I glanced back at her, im

    PIETRO GIACOMETTI The situation with Mandy had gotten slightly better but my state was getting terrible. Just hearing Caily's voice alone wasn't enough for me anymore. I had never been a very patient man and it was taking me several calls with Caily to get my patience running. Everything was for her. Every wasted meal, every gift I had delivered by my men that was thrown out, every act of supposed kindness, every word spoken. Everything was for her. And by several calls, I meant a whole lot of calls was made to sustain me.And it was paying off. For instance, right now, I was seated across Mandy who was eating. Eating a meal I had prepared and she had not yelled at me to get out of her home all day. My phone rang and I pulled the phone out, expecting it to be Caily. She had promised to call me back in a few minutes. Imagine my disappointment when I realised it wasn't Caily but Niel. He had sent about three more messages over the span of two days, letting me know the President was

    CAILY GALILEO "You told me you would be in a hotel!" I yelled over the phone, pacing the room back and forth. "I know, Love but how would she take me serious if I waltzed off because of a drizzle?" Pietro remained cool but I wasn't so cool with this. Not even a tiny bit cool."A drizzle, Pietro?! You weren't in the drizzle for minutes! You were out in the cold all night!" "It was not that cold, tesoro. I know you are worried about me but I am fine. If I wasn't, I am now, after hearing your voice." He sounded warm and I knew that if he was here right now, he would be holding me to himself tightly and breathing me in. "Don't give me that, Pietro!" I grumbled to him. "You are putting yourself at risk. You do not have to do that! You stabbed yourself the other time and now you are staying in the cold! I don't want you hurt for me!" I grumbled even more. "I made you this worried, it is my fault, Cara. I won't get you this worried next time.""How... How do you feel now?" My voice sof

    CAILY GALILEO I rubbed my sleepy eyes as I checked my phone screen with hazy eyes, hoping it was Pietro calling but it wasn't. My heart skipped a beat, my eyes clearing up as I saw Aunt Mandy's call as the called. I checked the time. It was seven minutes past seven. I had intended to call Pietro by 7am but I had slept too uncomfortably and had only fallen deeply asleep about an hour ago so it was little wonder that I had not woken up by 7am.I took in a deep breath, glancing at the call and wondering what I was about to hear. Would it be good news? Or bad news? I calmed myself down a bit before eventually picking the call. "Good morning, Aunt Mandy" I said as softly as possible, not knowing what to expect from her yet. Acceptance or rejection, still?"Morning, Caily." she sounded concerned and weary at the same time. "Did you sleep well?" She was gentle with her words and I was cautious with mine, still not knowing where exactly this conversation was going to lead to. "Yes, I...
