34. FAST LEARNER~PAMELAI stood still as the gun pressed into my spine. Nothing happened and I wondered why the person was stalling.The lights came on and I dropped to the floor and swept out my right leg, striking a foot that gave way. I raised my gun to shoot but the person recovered quickly.We both had our respective guns pointed at each other's faces. I realized that she was a Raven too. Why was she attacking me then?"Enough fooling around Minerva," Georgia's voice echoed from upstairs.Minerva? Why did that name sound familiar? She removed her face mask and I placed her the moment I saw her face.I removed my balaclava because I felt sick and suffocated. I had become a murderer.I saw her at the funeral of Stephan's father. It came as a shock to know that she was part of this life. Well, not really, I was just mad she put a gun to my back.Georgia came down from the stairs and inspected the bodies sprawled on the marble floor."I just saved her ass, I don't think she belongs
35. BLOOD BOUND ON THE SEA~PAMELAMy curiosity was piqued the moment he said those words. My heart rose to my chest as I thought of the stories of his life up until now.Who was this man who was surrounded by mystery and deadly women? My throat went dry and I swallowed nervously. I was going down the rabbit hole on this."Will you answer any questions I ask you?" I sheepishly asked."I will try to the best ability," I answered him and got out of the vehicle.I unclipped my seatbelt as he opened the door for me. I had no idea where we were but I could tell it was a bay with a Cruise boat and yachts anchored down.I got out of the vehicle and the night cold caressed my skin. Where was the safe house?He held me by the hand and together, we walked to one of the boats. It was a big black-looking yacht. It had a military look to it but it also had the homely aesthetic.I was still in my gear and the cold was already seeping into my skin, I shivered as I followed his lead. The urge to sud
36. LOVE BOAT~PAMELAI was worried about my safety and if you could believe it, for Stephan's safety as well. I was not used to this kind of life so I could not understand how he could be so calm after all the things I have just been through.I was tired and in the middle of the sea on a stealth yacht heading for nowhere in particular. I was working in a fast-food restaurant before I was dragged into this battle for my life.It felt so unfair to me. One moment I was basking in freedom and the next I was shooting guns at people I didn't know. I had been drafted into a war that I did not start.Stephan had packed the plates into the kitchen and was washing them. I used that time to explore the yacht. We were below deck, protected from the cold outside.I looked out the window and all I could see was darkness and endless waves of water. The yacht rocked from side to side as lightning struck, the flash of light revealing just how far into the sea we were.It was raining and it increased
37. THE CLIMAX COMMUNITY~PAMELAFrom a scar on his body, Stephan opened my mind to another world I did not believe existed. A world of pain and betrayal. Two words came to mind whenever I thought about him. Fucked up.I had fallen asleep on his chest and drooled. It turned out that I was just tired and his body was my booster. But it did not change the fact that I had killed people.I was still feeling some type of way about it.I had thought that Stephan was going to fuck me last night but he just caressed my body and held me close to his hot body. I had asked him countless questions about his many scars till I fell asleep.His voice had lulled me to sleep. In the end, he did tell me a bedtime story and it was a very fucked up one. He had been in a Russian prison as a teenager. That one surprised me.What kind of father would do that to his child? It sickened me. This was why he was perfectly fine with all this chaos."Pamela, I began to fight for my life the moment I knew right fro
38. HIJO DEL DIABLO~STEPHANKilling changes you. I knew what Pamela was going through.I could feel Pamela's anxiety from where she sat. I pushed the pedal to the floor and the car increased in speed.Frank was right. It was ridiculous to have brought her with me but from what I had seen from the negative feed she sent to my phone, Georgia sent me, I was beyond impressed.I had decided on firearms because it was common sense, guns were a weapon of distance and she was a fast learner. She did not know it yet, but she would willing to shoot people.She was part of my team whether she liked it or not.I had never opened up to anyone in my life until Pamela crashed into my life. She had been the first person to show me empathy.If it was all part of a ploy to get away from me, it would be interesting to see what trick she had up her sleeve. It would do nothing for her because he would always find her.I brought her along with me because I wanted her to see my world, the black, the white
39. THE MARQUIS~STEPHANThe pale-faced fear gripped the blonde-haired girl and led us through the dark lust filled room. We walked among naked men and women writhing together naked in a haze of pleasure.The room had a heavy scent of sweat, sex, and body odors that assailed my nostrils. The intertwined moaning and groaning of naked people was loud and disconcerting.No one seemed to notice us as we silently made our way to the doors of the Marquis. The lights in the room flashed continuously between red and purple, giving the room an arousing ambiance.I knew the reason Pamela showed her firearm was to encourage the girl to lead us out of the debauchery taking place because it made her uncomfortable.Some women were tied up in flexible positions hanging from the ceiling. They were tied in such a way that their asses and cunts were exposed to all.Their mouths were covered in ball gags more as a sexual thing than to keep them from screaming. I saw men randomly fucking these women an
40. THE RING~STEPHANI stood in front of the Marquis and looked down at him. I did not need to finish him, he would do that all by himself. The two teens had since run out of money I gave them."The recorder was connected to the internet was it not?" I asked. "Which means a lot of your viewers saw you being busted before it was shot."I turned my back on him and headed for the door. "You should pull the knife out of your wrist and bleed out, whoever your customers are, they now see you as a loose end," I said to him.Pamela was nowhere to be seen and I was suddenly alarmed. She could have used the opportunity to leave me. I admitted that I did not trust her yet and it was going to take some time."Ya should put a bullet in his brain for all the trouble the son of a bitch caused us," Frank muttered as we both made our way out of this depraved place."He is not worth a bullet of your gun Frank, I am sure most of his customers are wealthy viewers and they would not want him naming name
41. HIS WORLD~PAMELAThe drive to the yacht was sullen for me because I was still recovering from all the fucked up things I had seen today. It seemed like death followed Stephan everywhere that he went.My mind drifted back to those two teenage girls I had seen in that room. My eyes could not forget the scars and whip marks. I could still see the terror vividly in their eyes as they held onto each other.It had triggered something in me and I did not even remember pulling out my gun. I was sullen because Stephan had been right all along, I had shot my gun.I wanted to shoot the piece of shit who called himself Marquis. He looked sickly and creepy at the same time. I had fantasized about shooting off his latex-clad dick."Don't let it get to ya, Ms. Hallway, to us this is just Tuesday," Frank shattered my thoughts.I looked over at him as he hunched over the steering wheel, driving fast."We could have saved those girls you know, but I guess you guys are not heroes," I said in a sole
~PamelaI joined Georgia and the ravens in the house as the last line of defense in case the men outside fail to repel Dwayne's men. I endured many minutes of gun shots and death cries. The door was being hit with bullets but it did not penetrate through the door.I realized in terror they Stephan was out there among those flying bullet. It took all the will in my body not to run outside to Stephan. More gun shots and shouting took place outside while I stayed inside almost losing my mind at the thought of Stephan dying."We should be out there, helping," Minerva grumbled "Yet we are in here shaking in our boots, while the men have all the fun," She complained.I did not want to agree with her but she was right. However, Georgia shut her down."This is not battle of the sexes, Minerva, we all have a roll to play here and we will," She said in a stern voice.Minerva did not have any time to reply before a deafening and earth shattering explosion rocked everyone to the ground. The force
~DelmundoThis was the first time I would spill blood for someone whom I loved.The was the first time that I fought for someone instead of something. This was the first time I was fighting for a cause. For legacy, for brotherhood, for family, and as hard as it was to believe, love.I, Frank, Georgia and Pamela sat in the dining room hatching our own plan of action. Minerva had bad new."They outnumber us three to two," She said in a serious tone."What does that mean?" Pamela asked with an innocent demeanor.I stifled a laugh. "Means they outnumber us a hundred times our two hundred men in the area," Frank said."But we still have the advantage though, we know he is coming," I said."There is a way to give us a fair advantage but it will mean that one person is not joining the fight," I said."And who is that going to be?" Minerva asked, looking ready to protest if it was her."Frank, it's going to have to be you," I said."And what will I be doing, Boss, if I am not out there rippin
~DelmundoI could not bear to watch her go.I could not witness anyone leaving me again. I had sat on the sofa watching the bed that Pamela used to sleep in. A concerned Georgia, every chance she got, would come and check up on me.I could not blame her for doing so, after the whole thing with the pistol. She was checking to see if I did not have any suicidal urge which I assured her that I didn't. However, she had insisted on checking and I agreed to keep her mind at rest.It was going to be hell trying to live my life without Pamela, but I had been through one before. It was going to be a long road to healing from this pain I was feeling. I had begged frank to help me see her home safely. I was afraid that I would develop difficulties when it was actually time to free her.The next best thing that gave me some modicum of sanity was this room. Her scent was everywhere in the room and it felt like she marked her territory before she left. I took in her odors and aura as I sat. Even th
PamelaI left Delmundo mansion that day. I did not know how he did it but a loading truck had pulled up in front of the house. Men in moving uniform were taking my belongings into the truck and I was downstairs in the living room with Georgia.She looked sad to see me go but believed that the right thing was happening. It was better for everyone this way. Stephan was nowhere to be found but I knew that her could not bear to see me leave him again for the second time. The moving men were already done so I gave Georgia a long overdue hug."I do not know how to thank you enough, please do no miss me too much," I said to her as tears threatened to fall from my eyes."Take good care of yourself, Pamela and do not forget me too quickly," She said. I nodded and let her go. I turned to the entrance and found Minerva waiting and looking a little bit downcast."Hey, I do not like you much but still, it sucks to see you go," She said and gave me a hard pat on the back."Thank you?" I said. Miner
PamelaHe got me a new phone and told me that I could call whoever I wanted. There were no restrictions. That gesture was the most tempting of his offers but I was not going to give in. He knew that I was itching to talk to people and by people, I meant my friend Tiana.It would be an opening for him to dominate me and it will start that rollercoaster of a toxic love. A hot, sensual, debauched and addictive toxic love. I hated him so much and I loved him as deeply as well.It had been a painful revelation to me when Stephan told me what Dwayne did. I knew that I was a chess piece in his bloody game of war but to go to that extent. I tried to imagine the emotional pain Stephan had gone through just seeing that dress.When he told me, I ran upstairs and cried into my pillow. Stephan had said it to get a reaction but he would not see me break. He said it to hurt me. That had always been that problem. Him, taking your space and body and giving you pain returnStephan Delmundo sucked at lo
PamelaAs the days under his tyranny grew longer, I grew colder toward him.I had lived with two different types of men and I could tell the stark difference. Dwayne had been patient even though I was not into him that way.Stephan was suffocating and always hovering around. He had taught me something unknowingly and that was to always observe people. Now the more I looked at him, in silent observation and dull eyes, the more I saw him.These past few days had been very difficult to be around him. All those times when he had been forcing me to speak to me, caressing, cajoling, coaxing, begging. I had wanted to give in. For a Mafia lord, he was very good with words. The way he begged me was alluring and tempting."Let me into your high tower, Pamela, it's cold outside," He had once rumbled in my ear. I was not prepared for it. It had taken place in the bathroom. He said while our bodies touched. Then, I had almost succumbed to his hypnotic words but I managed to snap out of it.I wante
~DelmundoIt became an unhealthy habit to orbit around Pamela. The things that I bought her were ignored and abandoned in the corner of the room. Georgia helped me rouse her from bed today again because she just laid still and stared at nothing.It became an unwanted routine. I will try to break the ice and she would in return give me the cold shoulder. Truth be told, I was running out of options and I could not think of a new way to get through to her. Eat, sleep, and bathe. That was all she did.She talked to Georgia but she would not speak to me and as ridiculous as it sounded, it made me so jealous to see Pamela open up to her and not me. Today like yesterday, she was still on the bed and silently so. I sought out Georgia again for a new set of advice.This time I found her in the kitchen making hot soup that had a chicken-flavored aroma. It was midday and I had just given Frank the usual order to be on the lookout for anything suspicious. I had no doubt Cage was on the move. I co
DelmundoI left her room confused and concerned.QIt was going to be tough not to hear her voice again but it was more than not talking. She showed no interest about leaving the room or getting off the bed. Since I was not getting through to her, I decided that a couple of gifts could change her mood.There was just one problem, I had no idea what could cheer her up so I did the next best thing, something I never thought that I would ever do in a long time. I sought out Georgia at the garden in the back yard. She was tending to the koi fishes in the pond.She had a forlorn expression on her face as she went about her work. Something was up with Georgia too. I could never understand how emotions applied to women, they were always a big mystery to me."What seems to be the problem, master Stephan? You have been standing there for a while," Georgia said as she threw crumbs of feed into the pond. I saw the colorful fishes flutter about to eat the crumbs."I need your help, Georgia," I tol
DelmundoGetting her back into my life did not feel as good as I thought it would be. The victory felt more like a loss to me. Although I had her back, I felt like I had lost something in return. I did not want to admit but it scared me when I saw the light dim in her usually bright eyes.It terrified me because, I was responsible for what she was going through. When I had taken her back from Dwayne's territory, she had passed out from the shock, pain and stress. She was out unconscious until night fall. I might have struck her too hard but not enough to leave a mark or bruise.I knew that she was going through some form of headache but was just proving tough. I hovered by her room listening for any sounds to see if whether she was sleeping or awake but I heard nothing. Her behavior had me worried. I was too pumped up to sleep so I stayed awake all through the night.I paced back and forth the hall till I could not take it anymore. I was curious about what she was up to so I gently pu
