Isabella felt different pairs of eyes on her the moment she came downstairs. She suddenly felt uneasy as everyone on the table stair at her. Her eyes met with two pairs of blue eyes and she hastily look away to avoid his gaze. She cautiously walk to the table sitting on the chair at the far end, away from the guys. Unfortunately, her chair is right opposite Leo's, once she raise up her head, their eyes meets instantly.
She muttered a good morning while bowing her head and refusing to look up at anyone especially knowing that the first person she will see is the person she wants to avoid the most but can she? She won't be able to avoid him, not when he can call on her whenever he wants.A maid served her with omelette and fried Chicken. She is glad no one spoke or say anything at all to make her feel more uncomfortable than she is.She forced a smile at her as she began playing with the food, she doesn't have the appetite to eat. Forcing the food down her throat, it felt tasteless to her. Even the meal has lost its taste, she manageably took a few bites and awkwardly stood up with the purpose of going to her room.Her planned failed just before it begins as Leo also stood up, he snapps his fingers at her. Without having to mention a name, she knows that was for her. Isabella utterly stops on her track, she closed her eyes then fiddles with the hem of her dress.Leo was already beside her when she open her eyes which startled her. She wasn't expecting him to meet up with her so soon."Follow me" He commanded immediately walking away from her. She has no option than to follow him. Leo enters into a room, he waited for her to step inside before closing the door behind them.The small room looks like an office with papers and different types of things neatly placed on the desk. It will be a great lie if she admit to herself that she doesn't feel an unnerving feeling settling down in her stomach.She stopped by the door, afraid of what will happen when she step in further. Distinct thoughts flood through her mind, a lot of what ifs were also running through her mind, what if he wants her again now? The pain she had gotten as a result is still fresh, it still feels like everything just happened now."Are you going to stand there and just stare into space? Step forward and sit" Leo ordered scrutinizing her with his brows raised. Isabella took the sit opposite him.Leo relaxed on the chair, he opened his drawer then place some papers in front of her."As you already know, I am now your Master and you must do whatever I ask you to. You belong to me Isabella, do not ever forget that" He reminded as he pause before speaking up again."I drafted the rules you are to follow as long as you are here, if you fail to put up with any of them, I will give you any kind of punishment I desire" he added gesturing her to take a look at it.With shaky hands, Isabella pick up the papers to go through them. *RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW AS MY SEX SLAVE* was boldly written on it. She breathed out, eager to see the content.*You refer to me as your MASTER.After reading the first line, she was forced to look up at him. She doesn't have to be told to know that. At least, she has read books similar to her situation right now. She didn't just think it happens in real life and that she will ever become a victim.*You must obey and serve me.*You must not engage in any relationship as long as you stay as my pet.*You must ask for my permission for your needs to be granted.*Do not hesitate to respond to me, your focus should solely be on me.*You must not get too attached to anyone else in the house, especially among my boys.*Following my instructions, you do not have to think twice about it.*As your MASTER, I must be your first priority. Have it in mind that I will always come before you.*Pleasing me should be something you should be ready to do willingly.Isabella read everything on the paper with mixed feelings, does this mean she doesn't have any life of her own? She will be under her master's control for as long as he wants till he let her go? What has she gotten herself into?Before she accepted to become his sex slave, she thought he will be in control of her only in the bedroom. She forgot that he completely own her, in bed and her life.And she's not allowed to get too attached to any of the guys? That will be better for her, Leo doesn't know he just did her a favour by adding that rule. At least, she doesn't have to act too friendly with them or pretend to be friendly with them when in truth, she is dead scared of those huge men, just as much as she is scared of her Master."Why are you staring at the papers with a frown? Do you have anything to say? If you do, you should know that your opinion doesn't count. You must do whatever I say, whether it you are okay with it or not. I believe you were ready for this when you accepted to become my pet" Leo said while staring at the confused looking lady in front of him.She look so pure and innocent, someone who cannot handle being involved in his dangerous world. She wouldn't survive it if she gets involve with him, it is one of the reasons he doesn't want to show any emotions to her or go easy on her.Getting misunderstood and hurting innocent people are things Leo will never want it to happen. Especially to someone like Isabella who is under his roof. He doesn't want what happened years ago to repeat itself again, not when he is still Leonard Wood, the Italian Mafia Boss who has the control of everything in his hand.Isabella glanced at Leo very briefly without knowing what to say back to him even when she cracks her brain for something to say. "I... Can't I do the things I want? I am still a student, will you allow me to continue my studies?" She mustered courage to ask but not without stuttering. After hearing what she said, Leo tap his hand on the desk for a while before looking up at her. For the first time, he didn't think too much about doing a background check on someone when he is supposed to. "I will think about that but for now, focus on pleasing me. Maybe, I will grant your request" He replied shrugging his shoulders while Isabella's shoulders drop. A hint of disappointment hit her hard, she can't stop her college after everything, she has worked so hard to be able to get into college and now she might not be able to go back? She'd do anything he ask for her not to stop college. The heartbreak will be more unbearable for her, she might really loose herself for real this time. "I gu
"This is the basement" Ellie said to Isabella as she look around the beautiful building like a puppy. The guys including her Master left the mansion in haste not long ago, maybe the situation is bad but what could it be? She question herself and got no reply in return. "It's more like a bedroom" She complimented making the both of them to laugh. It's true, this place is too big for a basement, it's even bigger than her own room back in her uncle's house so how can it be called a basement when it's that big? "Sir Leonard probably wants it this way" Ellie added. Isabella couldn't help but nod her head as they walk off to the other side of the building. "Here's the cottage, this room leads to the gym while the second room is the mini library. Some books you might need are here, Sir told us to ask for your preference to be added in the library" she said. Isabella didn't wait for her, she excitedly open the library door and entered. Her books and phone have been her best friends all her
"calm down boss, I am sure the boys will be able to get our goods back with some of them" Adam assured trying to comfort Leo. "I guess they have a death wish, how could they have thought about stealing from me? Who sent them to do that? Was it to irk me up? If that's the case then, they've successfully succeeded" Leo said with a dry laugh, a laughter that held so much anger, irritation and danger in them. Hard drugs are something Leo and his men will never do, it might be a normal thing for every mafia family but his is an exception. He kicked against pushing of drugs a long time ago and being the mafia boss, he has the right to stop anyone from bringing in hard drugs. Everything in the warehouse are either legal drug supplies and hospital equipments to be sent to the general hospitals or food items for orphanage homes. There's nothing illegal in here. Leo is sure the person behind this is bent on finding fault in him.He has spent so much money on everything to let it go just lik
Isabella froze on her spot, she wasn't expecting him to show up at her door like that. Before she knew it, Leo came inside the room. Ellie took that as a cue to leave, she bow her head in an apologetic manner before scrambling away from the room leaving Isabella all alone with him. "I asked a question earlier, were you hiding here to avoid me? It's just been a day, are you tired of me already?" Leo asked taking threatening steps closer to her while Isabella gulped down the lump which suddenly form in her throat, she couldn't even move her legs. "No master" She quickly interjected, lying to her own self. Of course, she wanted to hide from him, to avoid him as much as she can but is there any need for that when he can find her just anywhere in this building? Leo came closer to her, he nodded his head at her then he cupped her face in his hand before stepping away, giving her a hard and scary look. "Good, you were wasting too much time up here, I thought I should bring you down mysel
Hours Later... Leo woke up sweating profusely with tears streaming down his face, he has been having reoccurring nightmares since that incident that took away his sleep.For each passing day since eight years ago, he haven't gotten a peaceful sleep without waking up a few minutes later looking all sweaty and teary. He developed insomnia and finds it hard to sleep, when he does, he usually wake up with the same terrific dream. Sighing, Leo wiped the sweat on his forehead and the tears slipping out of his eyes before standing up from the bed. He tied his rope, wore his flip-flops and made use of the door, entered the elevator and got downstairs. To the place he has been spending his nights for the past eight years, reading away the night till morning. Everywhere was dead silent as everyone have gone to bed, only the chirping sounds of the night birds were singing in his ears. The cold breeze of the night hit him as he opens the front door making his way to the cottage where the libr
The library in this building instantly became one of Isabella's favourite, she knew that it is way more smaller than that of her school library but the books and it's uniqueness differs. Every book she sees excites her to read them, even some of her course books were already added and also her book preference. Maybe her Master is not that heartless given that he at least wants her to spend her leisure time well. This place will be her reference store and all from now onwards. As she was lost in her own thought, half of her mind with the book in front of her and her thoughts occupied the other. She was so occupied that she didn't know when the door opened. Leo has been standing at the door silently watching her for about five minutes, at some point, she look focused to him or pretending to be focused. Either way, she is cute, so cute when she is reading. He pocketed his hands before walking over to her table, right in front of her. That was when she noticed his shadow and jumped awa
Leo plunge himself in and out of her till he reached orgasm, pouring everything on her stomach after withdrawing himself from her. Isabella hold out well, she didn't pass out like the other day, maybe she will keep holding out like this from now on. There's nothing else she can do aside that. She look down at herself then at Leo standing in front of her. He walk into the library bathroom and cleaned himself up. Coming out, he paused on seeing Isabella seated in the same spot he left her looking so alluring that makes him want to take her right there, again. When it comes to his sweet little pet, he doesn't think he can ever get enough of her. She is simply a temptress, his temptress. "Take your dress with you and wash up" He instructed, Isabella didn't wait for him to say another word before scrambling into the bathroom, that act made him chuckle. She's cute!Smiling, he looked at the mess they created on the desk and left the library with the believe that she will clean it up, she
"what do you say?" Leo asked Isabella who stared blankly at him. He wants to take her to and from school everyday? Why? Does he think she will run away or what? Why can't she have peace of mind even outside the mansion? But then, anything for her to start going to school from here. It's just to drop her off and pick her when she's done right? "I agree that you will take me to and from school, thank you for allowing me to go back" She replied and for the first time, she didn't stutter. "Good, since that has been settled, you will have to share your schedule with me" he said. "Yes Master" They both ate in a very uncomfortable silence, although only Isabella find it uncomfortable. It feels like her breath has been cut off or something blocked her lungs stopping her from being unable to breath. She couldn't be more grateful when his phone started beeping and he finally stood up making his way to the living room. She breathed out and fanned herself with her hand as she watch his ret
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
