"What were you saying? You live with a lot of guys? Like how many of them? Why? How?" Jane queried the moment they left the class. They have about two hours before their next class. Isabella sighed thinking of what to say, how is she going to explain this to her without sounding crazy? She definitely can't tell Jane about being a sex slave, at least not now. "It just happened" she replied with a shrug"Were you threatened? Did you do something to any of them?" Jane asked again and Isabella shook her head. "It's nothing like that, I am living fine with them. They are all taking care of me like we are family, you can even testify to that, I come to school in different beautiful cars, I have a black card given to me by them and I use expensive things too, that's to show that they are taking care of me like a younger sister" Isabella lied She felt guilty at some point but what can she do? That's the only thing she can tell Jane for now. "That's true though, they'd take care of you. I
"what? Why?" Isabella screamed the moment Alex told her about meeting Don Luga. Her hand on the seat tightened as her stomach turned weirdly for some unknown reasons. "I sincerely don't know either, I was just asked to bring you to him" Alex replied. Isabella let out a huge sigh, this time, not showing any sign of relief but that of worry, confusion and maybe a little bit of fear. Why will her master's father demand for her? Did he find out that she lied about being Leo's girlfriend? What will he do to her? That man's look is enough to scare her. A lot of what ifs were running through her mind, she unconsciously began biting her nails without saying or asking anything further till they got to the restaurant that was about 10 to 15 minutes away from her school. Before Adam could rush to her to get the door opened for her after halting the car in the fancy restaurant, Isabella got down. She looked around the place with her hands shaking. This kind of place is not for her, it looks t
The drive home with Don Luga was dead silent. Isabella stared out of the window to avoid making eye contact with him till they got home. Getting to know him isn't as bad as she thought it would be. Her master's father is way more better and friendly compared to Leo. "Thank you for making time for me, I would love to see you more often before I leave" Don Luga said the moment they alighted from the car while Isabella smiled. Don Luga went straight to the garden while she entered into the house. "Welcome back Bella, you look exhausted. Were you that stressed?" Ellie asked on seeing the look on her face. "I just want to take a shower and a long nap" Isabella said as she nod her head. "Do you want me to help you with anything? What about food?" Ellie questioned. "Nothing, don't worry about anything. I am so filled up, I am not sure I will eat again till tomorrow" "Okay, have a good rest then" Isabella waved at her, entered the elevator, pressed her floor number and in no time, she
Isabella got to the garden, it wasn't hard for her to spot Leo and walked up to him. "Do you usually sleep this long in the day time?" he asked on sighting her while she just quietly sat beside him. Isabella stretched forth her hand to him with his phone in it. "You have missed calls" she said as he collects the phone from her with a nod. Leo stood up on seeing the caller ID. The person happens to be one of his men at the border and escape route where drug dealers mostly smuggle in their said goods. He dialed the number when he was sure that Isabella won't listen in on their conversation on the phone and the person picked up with so much urgency. "What is it Dion?" Leo asked "Some group of people brought in drugs today but we were able to savage the situation" the person from the other end replied."Did you get hold of any of them?" Leo asked again. "No boss although we got the goods with most of our men injured" "Don't waste time in calling the doctor, get him to treat you all.
"Why are you doing this to me Bella? Just tell me where you live or let me come with you, only this once please" Jane pleaded earnestly. Since Bella told her she lives with a lot of guys, she has been pestering her life for Bella to take her home so that she can at least meet those hotties. Jane came to the conclusion that all the guys are handsome even without seeing all of them because those that she have seen are so freaking handsome. Isabella sighed and paused on her track. "I really can't Jane, you know that I will have to at least inform them before bringing someone over and I...""You can do that now, do you not have a phone? And besides, one of them will be coming to pick you up, you can ask him then. In fact, I will do that myself" Jane interrupted and began running towards their favourite spot at the school gate while Isabella panicked. What if it's Leo that will come? As much as he told her that they are now friends, he wouldn't want her crossing her boundaries. Leo mad
Jane's mouth opened widely in shock the moment the car stopped in the mansion, no matter how much she wants to control herself, she just couldn't after seeing how big and beautiful the mansion is. It looks like the king's palace in fictional stories. Just the open space outside is bigger than her Dad's house and all this while, she thought they were rich. Just what are these people? The more she gets to know, the more curious she's becoming.The awe on her face didn't go unnoticed by the people she came with. "It's so beautiful" she complimented as she continue turning around like a crazy person. If the situation wasn't serious back then, Isabella would have done this same thing Jane is doing right now when she came into the mansion for the first time because of how luxurious and spacious it is. "I can show you around later but let's go in for now, are you not hungry or thirsty?" Isabella asked and Jane nodded her head. As at that time, both Leo and Adam were already walking ahead
"Where's Dion?" Leo asked as Adam and the rest began coming in for their meeting. "I am here boss" Dion responded while rushing inside, he just came back from the warehouse give everyone a physical report. Dion mostly doesn't stay in the mansion because of his work to safeguard the warehouse. "Are the drugs you seized safe?" Leo asked. "Yes boss, everything is well safeguarded" Dion responded while Leo nodded his head. "Destroy every one of them by weekend, no one should be left behind and trace the person who had the guts to think of bringing them in after sending out my warnings" he instructed with his eyes darkened. "Noted boss" Leo turned to Sean thereafter and narrowed his eyes at him. "You wanted to say something back there" he said to Sean who nodded his head. "There's a problem boss" Sean announced, gaining everyone's attention to him. "What is it?" Sean sighed after hearing the question. "I got a call from Mr Lowell that his manager suddenly disappeared" he said, Mr
Isabella stared widely at him with her mouth agape. She literally didn't expect him to give her such command. "Repeating myself comes with a price to be paid" he added. That was enough to get her doing what he told her to. Isabella took a few steps closer to him and began stripping down. She hastily removed her dress and equally her undergarments leaving her clad in nothing. She felt a familiar cold hit her naked body as she instinctively tries to cover her body. She then turned and walked to the mirror stand, placed both her hands on it and then her left leg as instructed by him. She didn't raise her head up nor turn to look at him but she could hear the sound of him getting out of the bed. She bit her lower lip in preparation to whatever might happen, this is the first time she is having no idea of what he wants to do to her. Just why does he always do this to her whenever he's angry? Leo took some steps closer to her until he was a few inches away from her, her back turned to h
Isabella came out of her room fully dressed. There was a smile on her face as she came out of the elevator. She felt like she had won a lottery after both she and Leo settled their differences. Isabella hasn't been this happy in a while, she can't even describe the exact way she feels. She oddly couldn't explain her feelings but she knows that she is excited. "The smile on your face is luxurious" Adam whispered in her ear and she grinned at him. She is way beyond excited knowing that Leo has accepted her, he offered them a new beginning and she will stay by him. That's enough for her for now. She just wants to be by his side, seeing him alone is enough for her. "Because I am happy" she replied with laughter. "You are acting suspicious sis, did Cane give you anything to drink before we came there yesterday?" Adam asked while eyeing her suspiciously. "It's nothing like that" she waved it off with laughter. "Are you going for your exam? How prepared are you?" he asked. "Well, maybe
Isabella woke up with a sore arm, she tried moving her hand but it was as if someone placed something on it and she wasn't wrong. When she opened her eyes, her mouth went wide at the sight of Leo curled up next to her with his head placed on her shoulder. She was completely unaware of when he came in but what is he doing in her room? With the way he folded himself, it was obvious that he was cold. He didn't use the spreadsheet to cover his body. Isabella slowly began removing her hand making sure that he didn't wake up as a result of that and when she successfully did that, she exhaled, stretching her arm at the same time wondering if it's how men feel when a woman sleeps on their arm for too long. It does hurt! As she was about to come down from the bed to cover him with a blanket and disappear from the room before he woke up, he held her hand to stop her from going anywhere."Stay! I haven't been able to sleep for two days. I have insomnia and strangely, I can sleep with you by m
"You two Shouldn't have Cole with me, I can handle this just fine on my own" Leo protested. "We know you can but we are already here, I also want to teach that stupid man a lesson for having the guts to hurt our sister" Carlos blurted out. Immediately he realized what he just said, his hand flew to his mouth and his eyes darted to Leo while Sean stared at him like he had gone crazy. "I mean... I hmm—" "You don't have to explain yourself to me. It's okay if she is your sister, just protect her from now on. I need you all to keep her safe so that this won't happen again" Leo chipped in with a low chuckle. He had been furious since they left the house but this made him smile. Leo is aware that the guys see Isabella as family and their younger sister since she is the youngest of them. As long as it's just that relationship, Leo doesn't mind. He loves that they are getting along with her and they love her. Within a span of three to four months, Isabella has made everyone fall in love
Leo stared at the petite girl seated in front of him with a sigh. He reached for her hand and took it into his without breaking eye contact with her after making sure that she was looking at him. "Bella" He called. Isabella instructively shook her head to avoid his burning eyes. "Stop looking down and look at me" Isabella subconsciously raised her head immediately feeling like she was still his sex slave and owned by him. Since it's something she has done before, the habit has been instilled in her. "I know I don't have any excuse to have done everything I did but I am sorry, I couldn't do anything like a fool and let you go just like that. I thought letting you go would keep you safer than you being around me" Leo tried to explain but she couldn't wrap her head around it. How would she have been safer outside his mansion which is fully protected with strong security and enough people to look after her and care for her? "But I think that was a wrong decision and I am sorry" he ap
The small open space was turned into a bloodbath with most of Cane's men taken down. Leo made sure that only one person was unconscious, he didn't let the guys shoot him and gave him a shot on his shoulder instead of a vital organ that might be a hindrance to delivering Leo's message. After thirty minutes of a bloody fight with gunshots filling the air, every one of Cane's men that was there was taken down except just that one whose arm was shot. Leo walked up to him, he grabbed the man by his collar making him stand on his feet. "I am letting you go with just a shot on your arm so that you can deliver my message to your boss. You should be thanking your God for making me spare you so listen very carefully" Leo pissed as he hit the man's cheek for a few seconds then sighed to calm his breath. "Tell Cane Smith that I am giving him the chance to dig his grave in a way that suits him if he doesn't want me to do it for him. For every pain he inflicted on Bella, I will give him at leas
Isabella looked at herself in the mirror and then at the menu in her hand. She was standing inside the bar area and it was so noisy. She kept shifting uncomfortably while drawing down her gown. It was way too short and was exposing too much of her skin. She looked around the place filled with different calibers of drunks. They were talking and laughing within themselves, clearly wasted but still requesting more drinks. "Waiter bring another bottle of vodka" One of the men yelled. "What are you waiting for? Are you not going to attend to them?" Cane spoke into her ears out of nowhere. She jumped from being startled. Her mouth was shaking, even her hands were a bit left out. "I... I" "Stop stammering and get to work pretentious whore. I will be watching you from here to see how you will handle those men. Do not talk rudely to them and if they demand for your body, I will tell them the price" Cane announced and pushed Isabella forward after handing her a bottle of vodka.She held bo
Isabella didn't understand what Cane meant by her earning the money back for him until he went and came back with a dress and makeup artist. She was lost and confused as she was still hooked on those words Leo said about her. She wanted to get them out of her head so that she could stop hurting but she couldn't just like the way she couldn't stop herself from calling in love with him. Cane grabbed her up and made her stand on her feet even though she was looking unstable. "From now on, you will join the girls at my bar to serve the tables but yours comes with a special job because you will be rendering the service of your body to them as long as they pay me. Once I have gotten enough money to compensate for my loss, I will think of what to do with you" Cane explained clearly. It wasn't hard for Isabella to understand what he meant. While she is serving the tables at his bar, she will also be serving her body to the customers who need it. She gulped down and shook her head in disap
Jack Grayson was seen in a small house far from the city. He has been hiding here since the last time he spoke with Leo. The look on Leo's face that day was scary, it wasn't difficult to find out that the dangerous man had fallen for his pretty niece's charm. He'd come for her if he got to know that Jack took her from him not because he wanted to buy her freedom again but to sell her at a higher price. He had to flee his home to this place while he was processing his visa secretly. Just as he expected, Jack got a call from his neighbor about some people coming to look for him. It was obvious who it was. Leo did come to find him.Jack will be dead gone if he gets caught. Leo is not someone to mess with, the thought of going through what he went through the day they came to collect their payment made him shudder in fear. And as at that time, his boys were so lenient with him. Jack needs to leave the country for now else, it won't be long until he is caught. He made enough money from t
Cane Smith laughed to his heart's content on seeing calls from Leonard as expected. Leonard did value this girl here. "It seems your lover boy will find you soon but I am not sure about you being alive before then" Cane laughed again. He is suddenly feeling jelly for no reason. The fact that he just confirmed his guts and found out that he is right makes him overly excited. He pushed Isabella aside without saying anything else to her and left the room while laughing. He is going to be in a good mood today. Isabella exhaled deeply the moment her new master and his men left the room. They didn't care to untie her or remove the seal from her mouth. She just carefully stood up on her feet and sat down on the bed with all her body aching. She couldn't lie on the bed due to her hands being tied to her back. She is glad that Cane chose not to do anything to her body sexually. She'd feel dirtier than she already is and might end up developing PTSD without being able to save herself from t
