olivia's POVThe week has been going slow, maybe it detected the weekend was going to be my doom. Heaving a sigh i dragged myself away from the bed to the bathroom. It was currently thursday and i was home, i had to take a two days sick leave from work so i could mentally prepare myself for this weekend. However, i still had to go through some consultation while i'm at home, it took alot of convincing to make them let me do a little bit of work. Slipping into one of my old sweatshirt that was mid-tigh and shorts after my morning routine, i brought out my laptop to begin my work atleast something to distract me from my thoughts. Two hours into it and i could barely get anything done. I was already so frustrated, why can't i concentrate! I picked up my phone dialing Ava's number“Hey Ava”“ How are you doing Liv?”“I'm good, are you at work?”“Yeah i am, why did you ask that though at you also at work?”“Well- i'm not, And i'm fine just stressed, i needed to rest a bit”“You sure Liv
After luca spotted a loop hole in the contract, i was able to reconfirm the terms from alberto. I was skeptical about this whole arrangement thing at first but i'm left with no choice. The problem now is finding who would be fit to be my wife for the next one year, it's not going to be an easy task, considering my relationship history. So here i was with my cousin and luca trying to brain storm on an appriopriate wife. I had already informed luca of the loop hole and he agreed we tool that route. “What about michelle, she's pretty decent” Luca said, She was an ex and ex are in the past. “No” I said flatly“Nicole?”“No” “Katrina?” Luca said again“Really? She's the club whore and besides she'd ruin my reputation rather than uphold it”“ Ann?”“No” Ann was just a fling, nothing serious happened between us. “Dude can you just make up your mind!” Luca said already tired“It's not about finding anyone, it's about finding someone decent and who i haven't had an affair with” it was the
olivia's POV Today was the day i'd face my abusive father, i planned on coming back on sunday so that i could get back to work by monday. Only God knows what will happen within the next 24 hours. With a sigh i carried my little carry on bag that contained my essentials as i headed for the door. Lets just get this over with, this is going to be the last time i'd ever need to go see my dad. I hailed a cab and told him my destination as he began driving farther away from my residence. During the car ride i had texted Ava about my little trip, telling her my whereabout and that i would be back by sunday. And i promised to come see her immediately i get back. Ten minutes into the journey, my phone started vibrating as i reached for it, i already knew who it was. “Liv! Why are you doing this?” “Why?” She whispered softly “I'm sorry Ava but i just have to, i don't want him coming over to my home or work and hurting anyone especially you” “Please Ava let me do this, i would b
Dante's PovI had an urgent meeting which required my attention at one of my tech firm and there was an invasion on one of my shipment that had weapons. I had to be physically there to settle things so there was a change of plan. I had sent rafael and luca to go over to Anderson's house to get it over with. It was either they got back the money or they killed him one of it. However, rafael had called me saying they couldn't find the fucker at home. I just knew he was going to run but who was i kidding i loved chasing my victims, i'd find them, ruin them and slowly kill them. He fucking left and he thought he could run away from me, what a fool. I remebered rafael telling me they however met his daughter at home. It was crazy cause from this information luca sent she'd not been there in like forever. I could use her as a bait and definitely to my advantage so i told rafael to take her and lock her up in the basement. I was going to determine what i was going to do with her tomorrow,
olivia's PovWaking up on a cold concrete floor wasn't something i ever imagined. Event from earlier today came crashing, i was captured and i have no idea why, or where the one my father owed? They could be, i layed my head back on the cold floor to see if i would be relieved from the headache i was currently having. It was the worst headache i've ever had, How long was i out for. As i was still curled up on the floor, i head footsteps approach the basement where i was. As i heard the door opening i stilled on the floor not wanting to move. The person came closer, he bent over trying to move my hair from my face but i flinched back. It has an habit that i grew up with because of my father. “Hey” His voice was so deep and powerful, His voice was so nice that i feared my body would have responded to it if i wasn’t in this situation. But i decided not to answer. “I'm not goning to hurt you” He was italian, the intonation and the way he spoke gave it away. I still did not respond t
olivia's PovSleeping back after a nightmare was not something that came easy for me. I had tossed and turned hell i even tried sleeping on the cold floor if it'd stimulate sleep but yet nothing worked. I couldn't even check for the time cause my phone wasn't with me anymore. I felt like a prisoner. I have a job to get to, my bestfriend to meet with and let her know about my whereabout. I decided to just lay back down on the bed till my captor came or something happened. The door abruptly opened, without the intruder knocking on the door“I figured you would need clothes, is there any special request for the clothes?” Dante asked but i was still laying down on the bed, i didn't try moving from my position on the bed. “I'm not staying here, i just need one cloth that i can wear when i'm going home today”“That was not the question!” He said in a calm way but yet so powerful that it scarred me. "I would say this one more time olivia, What kind of clothes do you prefer?”“C-Comforta
Dante's PovLife had a way of messing with me. Who would have thought i’d still see her again, the girl from the club, The one i killed for. Honestly i had forgotten about her but yet i did not have any explanation for my action,i could not even decipher why i did what i did. She was however different from the way i saw her at the club last week. I had learnt she was a Medical doctor, a surgeon to be precise she must really be smart. She was however different in every way from the women in the mafia. Immediately i handed her the file containing the contract her eyes went wide on seeing the content. Her face was in a frown as she continued to take in the information that was all set in the contract. I had spoken with my lawyer and i had put in the necessary amendment. “What's going on?” she said“Is this a joke of some sort?” “How did i end up in this mess?” She said still reading it's content. “Listen up” I said trying to get her attention“I'm going to try to explain everything i
olivia's PovMy life couldn't be more disastrous than it already was. I was presented with a marriage contract! I had tried to talk him out of it but it wasn’t working. He was mean, so mean he spoke like he didn’t have any emotion. “YOU DO NOT HAVE A SAY IN THIS OLIVIA” He said enforcing it deep into my soul. I felt like a prisoner, i did not have to pass through all i did to end up here in this situation. For one i hated when someone raised their voice at me. My eyes had already started to water thinking about how i ended up here. “Please, i have a life you know, i have a job, and my best friend she’s waiting for me. Can i atleast go see them one more time or something” I said wanting him to try to reason with me on this. “You can make things more easy for yourself by signing the contract” He said unfazed by my words“The sooner you get to sign it, The sooner you get to leave” He continued“But-” wanting to explain further but he cut me before i could even say what i wanted to say
Olivia’s POV I and Ava had made atleast five rounds through different stores shopping for clothes, shoes and every goddam thing Dante put her up to.I constantly texted Dante on my location and activities even if I’m very much aware that he could easily just track my location and find me.“Ava! My feet hurts and I’m starving” I called out to her.“We’ve only been to five stores Olivia we have more stores on the list” she said walking ahead of me with two buff guards walking just a few feet behind me.“I’m starving Ava, come on let’s go on a break a little” I cajoled her.“Alright, do you know anywhere we could eat at?” “Yeah, come on!” I took Ava to the restaurant Dante had taken me to when I initially got here. We ate our meals before we continued the torturous shopping. After hours of walking, shopping, spa and hair care. I finally got home. Ava had left earlier with the promise to be back for a girls night and make up for the nights and time together we missed.Today really took
Olivia's PovI stirred in my sleep as I tried stretching but I couldn't due to a restraint, a strong muscular one at that. I slowly opened my eyes only to be met with Dante typing away on his phone with my hand on his chest. He must have noticed I was now awake as he stopped what he was doing. “Principessa, did you sleep well?” He asked as I sat upright, losing contact from his body. “Hmmm” I nodded. It wasn't a lie, I had slept well in a long time. “Thank you dante” I said, staring down at my fingers that were interlaced “And i'm sorry for any form of inconvenience i might have caused”. I looked up to see him staring at me as i did not hear him say anything. “Do you want me to bring you lunch in bed too?” He asked “You don't have to stress yourself dante, i'm fine” i said “I think you keep forgetting the fact that you don't have a say in this matter.” He said standing up from beside me on the bed to leave. “I'm sorry i kept you here through out the day, i know there are other imp
Dante's POVI was livid when I saw Olivia curled up in a ball on the cold floor. I was going to inquire why she was not down for breakfast at first. But seeing Olivia on the floor groaning in pain, it stirred up something in me and I really don't know why but I found myself caring for her.When she eventually told me it was just period cramp I was scared shitless. She had endured this torturous pain all her life? No woman deserved this. I was clueless on what to do because I haven't cared for a woman this much before. After dropping her in the room, I quickly took my phone as I googled how I could make her cramps reduce and make her feel better. It was really unlike me but it's worth giving it a shot. The first thing that popped up was heating pads and warm baths before the use of painkillers and warm liquid. So I quickly ran a warm bath for her before bringing her back to the bathroom and bringing her breakfast in bed. While she slept, I couldn't help but wonder why I dragged her
olivia's PovI had woken up to sharp pains in my lower abdomen. At first, I thought I could overlook it, maybe it was just a mild pain. But right now, it only intensified. I left my bed to go check out if it wasn't what i was thinking it was. Fuck me! My period was always so severe because for the most part of it, I lost more blood which worsens my iron deficiency anemia and I tend to throw up alot because of the pain. At some point i'd thought it was endometriosis but it turns out mine was just different. I struggled hard to have my bath as i was in so much pain that had me squatting in the bathroom. I finally mustered all the strength I had to get dressed in a large sweatshirt and pants. I tried going back to bed but I just could not. Instead, I laid on the cold floor curled up in a ball as I changed position every five minutes trying to get a comfortable position. I could always go downstairs to get pain killers, my brain told me but I was in too much pain to do so. Gradually
Dante’s PovYesterday's event caught me off guard, i lost some men due to my actions. I've always blamed myself every single time I lost one of my men because I felt there was something different I could have done to avoid the whole fiasco that unfolded. But like Olivia said yesterday, certain things are just beyond me and I can't live my life continually blaming myself for every single thing. Right now i was going to do anything to get the information i needed from the man we captured last night. Taking long strides to the basement in the warehouse, I started unfastening my cuffs because I was about to get my hands dirty. “Where is he!" I asked Luca who trailed behind me. I had designated Rafael to assist Olivia back at the house. “Over here dante” He said unlocking the door to one of the rooms. I entered the cold basement that had a single overhead bulb. In the center of the room, bound to a metal chair, sat the captive luca was able to capture. His body was coated in sweat and
olivia's PovDante had bolted out the door after saying all that he said. He acted normal as he received the phone call where as, i was affected by the words he said and stunned as hell. It was already one in the morning but dante wasn't back from whereever he had gone to. I alreadt had dinner and i'd freshend up for the night but he wasn't still back to i resorted to reading a book to pass out time. As i sat beside the window reading a book as bright headlights suddenly filled the dark night as i saw dante's car and two other cars follow behind. Looking down i saw how someone was being assited inside and one other limping. I quickly changed from my night wear into something i could wear around men and not cause a scene. I changed into a jean three-quarter that was an inch above my knee and a black tank top. Running to open the door i was hit with the metallic smell of blood as my gaze fell on dante who had a piece of cloth tied to his shoulder were he had blood stains all over. I
Dante's POVI came back earlier than expected. I had called rafael early on to supervise the shipments coming through the west border because my men already killed one invader and i believe there's more of them out there. Recently the attacks on our shipment was getting out of hand and i think is high time i took drastic steps to eliminate them all. Entering the mansion, i began to make my way upstairs till i heard olivia's voice from the kitchen asking arabella where she kept the soy sauce. She must have been to bored for her to resort to helping arabella in the kitchen. I quietly walked to the kitchen only to see olivia making attempts to get something from the top cupboard probably the soy sauce. But that was not what caught my attention, she was wearing an oversized shirt that was not mine and it barely covered her thighs. Was she seriously testing me after telling her not to wear these type of short clothes around the house because of the men around. But i could not deny the
olivia's PovYesterday marked the first day i decided to let my guard down and try elicit an emotional reaction from Dante. If i'm going to stay in this marriage for a year i might as well make it fun. However, yesterday took a different turn, dante went all wild seeing me in shorts and the way he spoke, He sounded pretty pissed and might i add jealous. And it all just gave me more ideas to not just be overly nice to him but to maybe tease him a bit so for day two of MISSION ELICIT AN EMOTIONAL REACTION FROM DANTE, i settled for a white huge shirt i found in the closet and a pair of shorts, I might really get in trouble for this but i do not care. I and Ava still spoke last night and i feel i'd crack open very soon. I could not keep up with the lies. “Olivia are you ready?” I heard rafael call from downstairs as i made my way down to my new office space. I had begged rafael to come help me set up the office. “In a minute!” i yelled, Surprisingly i warmed up to rafael quickly, we ha
Dante's PovMeeting Alberto physically to stake claim on my right was something I had to do today and fast so he won't change whatever he and my dad did before the one year course of my marriage finishes. I needed this alliance to not only strengthen my mafia but to protect my men to the best that I can. There has been a mafia gang with a faceless Don that has been interfering with my shipments. Like yesterday I had an urgent call telling me someone had stolen the shipment of weapons i was expecting yesterday. I had to leave the house and urgently see to it, tracking down the invader. We were able to detect he was from the Viper's, the mafia that had a faceless Don. It is crazy how nobody has seen this person before and he settles to wrecking havoc anonymously. I was not able to take Olivia to the part of the house she would be using as her office and infirmary because of the emergency last night. Pulling through into Alberto's house, I stepped out of my car as I made a beeline for
