Massimo’s POVAs soon as she said those words, my resolve fell and I looked at her face, noticing how her eyes had suddenly filled with tears.“Anna, that's not-"“Don't call me that!" She screamed, making me quickly shut my mouth as I stared at her in both shock and confusion. What the heck?She slowly got up from the chair, pushed the plate in front of her in my direction and began to walk away from me but I wasn't going to let her do that. She hadn't eaten anything all day, and she was about to go to bed on an empty stomach. “Get back here and sit down!" I yelledAt the sound of my voice, she turned around, looked me right in the eye and seethed;“Or what?" “…or I will punish you severely for that attitude… and then I’ll go straight to the hospital right now and pull the plug on your mother." The frown on her face fell and I saw her shoulders fall. My words seemed to have some sort of effect on her as she immediately walked back to the table with her head down and then sat back
Adrianna’s POV“I stood at a corner, feeling completely detached from everyone and with tears in my eyes, but I wasn’t crying because of Massimo this time. I was because I was at a funeral. My mother's funeral.Massimo had allowed me to be here thankfully but had still given me more than enough rules to keep me in plane while we mourned.I could vividly remember the day it had happened, how it had rained heavily and how he had burst into my room as if the devil was hot on his tails. I could remember the look in his face and how I had immediately known as soon as I saw his face. The memory drifted around my head like water vapor and just when I couldn’t take it any longer, I broke down in tears, feeling very terrible. Everything was my fault, I hadn't been there for my mum.I had acted very irresponsible and it put myself in trouble. Fine, I knew I did it because I wanted to save her… I had wanted to be able to afford her medical bills, now see where that has gotten me?If only I had
Massimo’s POVMicheal had fixed a dinner party to celebrate the finalisation of the deal and I had been forced to bring a date. I fought tooth and nail to make him forget about it, but he always had a way of making me do things.I sure as hell couldn't bring Jamie and I had no other women in my life, although I knew I could get any woman that minute that would love to go with me. Suddenly, Adrianna's name popped into my head and I immediately dismissed the thought. We weren't on best of terms right now and I knew she'd rather drink acid than be anywhere close to me.There was no point in even thinking about it, I'll just have to find someone else I was comfortable with. Micheal was taking Gina, that was for sure.For thirty minutes, I sat in my office, racking my head about what to do. Micheal came into the office with that goofy grin of his, that meant mischief. “What did you do this time?" I asked him before he spoke, before I knew that there was a story.“Oh, I didn't do anythi
Massimo’s POVThroughout the car ride, I tried hard not to stare at her but it was difficult not to as her beauty was something to behold. It held me mesmerized.I always knew she had a pretty face because it was quite obvious but little did I know that she was this beautiful when she allowed herself to be; and even though she was barely wearing any make up, she was still looking exceptional.Well, it might have been the color red. I had a weakness for it and so I guessed that maybe it wasn't her but the dress that was making me think so. “It has to be the dress…” I murmured under my breath and when I noticed that she was staring at me in a way that seemed like she was questioning my sanity, I looked away.She avoided my eyes too and I could see how rigid she was around me as she stared out the window the entire time. This was the first time since she would be outside in weeks and so I wasn't surprised that she was using this opportunity to see the streets rather than engaging me in
Adrianna’s POVI'd be lying if I said I didn't love this place. As soon as we walked in, I was awed by how beautifully decorated the entire place was. A massive golden chandelier hung from the ceiling like a beautiful monster and it’s glow seemed to set the color theme for the other arrangements. The tables were decorated with golden cutleries, and the chairs looked very antique yet expensive.Everyone here looked like a billionaire or some important person… and I just stuck out. The moment people noticed Massimo's presence, all eyes turned to us and it was as if my heart stopped beating for a nanosecond. I felt like they were judging me. The looks on the women's faces weren't welcoming at all and I should have expected it. Massimo was a very attractive man and not a lot of women would be happy to see that he had brought someone with him. The way everyone looked at us gave me a sunken feeling that I couldn’t shake off even as he squeezed my hand reassuringly. I already felt like I
Massimo’s POVSo far, everything had been going well. Adriana had been on her best behavior and was standing very quietly by my side. I knew this setting would be new to her and so I had decided to go easy on her. However, I almost couldn't get my mind off her even as I spoke to my business partners because she was just so stunning, it was quite difficult to ignore her beauty.It seemed like all my warnings to her had gone a long way because she just kept quiet throughout the entire time. For some odd reason, I actually wanted her to talk or at least make input in one way or the other but she didn’t. I worried me.I also liked how she held my hand, squeezing it at intervals. It was almost as if she was reminding me of her presence whenever I was about to forget that she was here.As I walked along the tiny pathway between rows of chairs, I saw Larry, a man I used to work with for most of last year and had a couple of deals with. Our business had to come to an abrupt end when I notic
Adriana’s POVThe whole situation was looking very suspicious. Massimo had dragged Micheal away and I could see him frantically waving his hands in the air and shouting at him. Something was obviously very wrong. I hoped they figured it out though. I used this time to feed my eyes on the people, especially the obviously expensive dresses that the women wore. I had seem some very beautiful dresses I wanted to fantasize about later in bed and was so engrossed in their beauty that at first I didn’t notice when someone stepped behind me. I was only brought out of my reverie when the person tapped my shoulder from behind and I turned around only to find a blonde beauty standing in front of me.She was tall of course and quite curvy. She looked very pretty in a red dress similar to the one I wore but hers had a long slit by the side that reached all the way to her hips. The way she looked at me showed that she was obviously part of the women who hated me for no just cause. She held a gl
Adriana’s POVA coughing fit woke me up from sleep. I was feeling cold so I tightened my grip on the blanket.When did my bed get this soft? Also when did I get a blanket? My eyes shot open and I sat up right. I looked around the room and frowned. Everything was white from the sheets to the curtains and the carpet. A far cry from my room that was black. What the hell happened and where was I? I tried to wrack my head to remember but a splitting headache was the answer. A few minutes later, the door swung open and Massimo came through along Michael. They exchanged weird looks that immediately got me worried and I began to wonder what was going on. “You're awake." “What's going on?" Micheal came closer and sat on the bed while Massimo just stood by the door. “Adriana, you need to calm down. How's your head?" Micheal asked. My head? I touched my head and realized that it was bandaged. No wonder I have a bad headache. “What happened? Why's my head bandaged?" I looked from Massi
Adriana sat quietly on the bed, staring between the debtor who was speaking too fast, and Massimo, whose grin was just too wide, wondering about what they were talking about that had gotten them so excited.The doctor shook Massimo’s hand again, for what felt like the hundredth time before walking away with his briefcase clutched tightly in his hands.It was until after he had walked out that Adriana found her voice, and with a force, she croaked out;“What is happening? Why’s the doctor so excited?”The last thing she could remember was having a head-splitting headache. The one that had weakened her and made her faint, and now, seeing Massimo so happy as soon as she opened her eyes made it all so confusing.“I am talking to you, Massimo!” She exclaimed, causing Massimo to stop. He gently sat close to her on the bed, draped his arm around her shoulder, and with that grin still plastered across his face, he said to her;“You’re pregnant.”At first, Adriana was very sure she didn’t hear
Amy’s POVWith my plane tickets in my hand, I dragged my heavy suitcase through the airport terminal, and at the same time, ducking to prevent myself from being seen by one of my many enemies.It’s been three weeks since I killed Caden and made away with Adriana’s money, and ever since then, I’ve been literally watching my shadow.Everyone and everything seemed to creep me out, even the sound of random songs playing on the radio. I couldn’t help but think that I was being watched, and that was why I decided to leave the country.One of the reasons I decided to leave the country though was because I knew that the police were street me for killing Caden and taking part in a kidnap scheme. They also wanted to arrest me for theft and I couldn’t let that happen.Adriana’s money had been long deposited in one of my accounts, and now, all I needed was to get my sorry ass out of this country before I got caught.Bouncing down the extremely clean walkway, I arrived at the check-in desk but as
Massimo’s POVI slowly pried my eyes open and smiled when I was met with Adriana’s pretty sleeping face. She slept soundly and for the first time since I knew her, she didn’t care if she was stark naked or not.It’s been a few days since Caden’s death and even as Jamie and her twin sister, Jannie served jail terms, Amy was still nowhere to be found,l.It was as if she had disappeared off the surface of the earth with my money, and even as the police had set out search parties for her, placing them in several points around the city, none had been able to come up with information concerning Amy; it was alarming.My train of thought was suddenly disrupted when my phone screen came on, and a text notification popped up on the screen. I groaned in frustration when I discovered that the interruption was none other than Jessica and I frowned as I thought about what she might want now.Picking up the phone, I clicked on the message she had sent after I had finished reading through it, and I f
Adriana‘s POVAs soon as I tried to run, I was immediately tackled to the ground by four lunatics who suddenly realized I was some sort of trophy that could be transported from one place to the other just for them to make money off me.In desperation, I screamed out for help but it was nowhere to be found. I thrashed violently in their hold, wanting to free myself but there was no way I could stand the chance against four people who seemed as though they were high on steroids.“Let me go! Let go of me, you psychopaths!” I yelled out fearfully, whilst praying that Massimo would walk in at this moment, and just as I did, I saw him drive in with a sleek Rolls Royce, moving as though he was a madman.At first, Caden seemed so shocked that Massimo had driven in that he stood frozen to a spot. Even Jamie was suddenly unmoving; it shocked me that one person had this much hold on them.“Let her go!” He growled, causing Jannie and Amy, the two people who still held on to me, to move away fright
Adriana’s POVI arrived at the scene about five minutes before the stipulated time, and even though Caden was nowhere to be found yet, I still couldn’t help but feel like something was terribly wrong.The place was eerily silent and so was my head. It was as if my mind had suddenly gone blank and I couldn’t conjure up even a single thought.Seizing this opportunity, I picked up my phone, and quickly sent a text to Massimo even though I wasn’t sure he wanted to talk to me yet, that is after taking a picture of the secluded place and then putting it on silent before tossing it under one of the chairs where it wouldn’t be easily seen by Caden.I bit my fingernails as I waited for Caden. Time moved torturously slow and every moment felt like I was waiting for years. Just when I was already beginning to think about going back home, a black sleek car pulled over and immediately, Caden stepped out.“Hey, you!” He called out almost too cheerfully but as soon as he saw the look of disdain tha
Adriana’s POV“Did you… did you just say you’re Massimo’s cousin?!” I stuttered with widened eyes. It was unbelievable!As if to further surprise me, he nonchalantly nodded his head at me, smiled in a way that seemed a little sheepish, and muttered; “I am, and I wasn’t lying when I said so.”Something about the way he talked made me suddenly begin to feel suspicious about him. I couldn’t help but remember that I had also felt this way about him during the first few days we met.He had this thing about him, this silent pride. One that made you know that he was a servant in this house but at the same time, you just knew that you couldn’t talk to him the way you talked to other servants.That pride he had was the only thing that stopped me from disbelieving him, so I rolled my eyes as I looked away.Suddenly, I remembered that Caden was somewhere waiting for me. He was probably pissed right now, and with I’m not this thought in mind, I snapped; “I don’t care if you’re Massimo’s father
Caden’s POVMy eyes widened in shock when I checked Anastasia’s pulse only to notice that it wasn’t moving at all! She wasn’t breathing and no matter what I did to resuscitate her, it wasn’t working!“Shit!” I cussed aloud, feeling fear begin to seep into my mind. I couldn’t call Amy for help now, especially when Anastasia had died during intercourse. I mean, how was I supposed to explain to her that I had killed a girl I’d been drilling when Lu called to tell me about Massimo without her flipping out?It was impossible!With a new kind of desperation settling at the back of my mind, I picked up my phone and called the first person that came to mind. Now, I didn’t care about getting money from Adriana anymore, all I cared about was hiding this crime in the best possible way.“Hello, Caden?” His deep baritone voice called out, momentarily startling me. It was Lu, and he seemed genuinely surprised that I was calling him back only a few seconds after our first call.“I need a favor!” I
Caden’s POV“Arrgh damn!” I moaned under my breath as I leaned back, watching Anastasia, a girl I had cast my sights on for a long time now, ride me. She groaned in pain when I smacked her ass but despite this, she didn’t stop. One thing I loved about her though was her endurance and her wildness… She was one of those few humans who could be pushed to the wall but would never retaliate.Again, I smacked her ass, smiling when she bit into her lips, drawing blood, and with a new fierce determined look in her eyes, she began bouncing on my throbbing manhood, whilst throwing her head back.The room was hot and smelled terrible. It smelled like tobacco and swear, with a mixture of bodily fluids and alcohol… and something else that I couldn’t quite place, something that smelled damp.Lying on my back made the smell even more difficult to bear. I felt suffocated and nauseated at the same time…if that was even possible; and if not for the fact that she was so good at what she was doing, I wo
Massimo’s POV“Are you suddenly deaf, Mr Grey?!” Lux barked at me, causing a few of his minions around us to burst into laughter, and even as insulting as that sounded, I still couldn’t find it in me to be mad.Right now, all I could think of was Dylan, my younger cousin who at this moment was standing behind me, putting up a brave front.I liked how he seemed fearless. I mean, it was in our family lineage to be domineering but at the same time, I knew that Dylan was faking it. From up here, I could notice the tiny insignificant stuff that no one else could; I could see how his hands shook almost unnoticeably and how his eyebrows twitched now and then. I’ve known this motherfvcker for quite a while now, he’s suffered some of my bullying and teasing, and so I knew that right now, he was petrified.“And who are you?!” Lux barked, shifting his attention from me to Dylan and immediately, I felt a sense of fear pass through me, and when Dylan wouldn’t speak, he added; “Massimo, are you
