~Adriana’s POV~“Oh help!” I jumped awake with a start, glancing around only to discover that I was in my room and not in the dark alleyway that I’d seen myself in only a few minutes ago. I held my chest, panting as I frantically glanced around the dark room due to the nightmare I was having only a few minutes ago. In the dream, boss Louis had been running after me with a large gun and no matter where I tried to hide, he always managed to find me. He had accused me of stealing his money and then running away, and for a moment I almost thought he was referring to the card theft until I realized that Massimo was already dealing with me for that already.It was weird.Sighing as I shook off images of the dream out of my head, I changed out of my sweat drenched clothes into a fresh nightie and was about to go to bed when I began to hear scary sounds coming from the other side of the door. I sat up in fright.“Who’s there?!” I called out, tiptoeing out of bed and standing at a dark cor
~Adriana’s POV~I stormed into my room angrily, angry at myself for caring about Massimo even though it was obvious that he doesn’t care about me and angry because the motherfvcker must’ve sensed my obvious care for him but had simply decided to be a narcissist.“Bastard!” I cursed under my breath, slamming my door angrily behind me. The wooden door creaked in protest from the force I had exerted on it and I sighed as I jumped into bed. “Bastard!” I cried again, hoping that he doesn’t hear me but wanting to curse him all the same.Despite the fact that he had literally just treated me like some pest, I still couldn’t help but be worried about him. I was more worried about the fact that he had blood all over his clothes and somehow, I wasn’t settled, thinking that he must’ve either hurt or killed someone. “He might even be the injured one…” a voice whispered in my head and almost immediately, my heartbeat accelerated from only thinking about that possibility.I could still feel the
~Adriana’s POV~“Ouch!” I cried aloud as I stumbled and fell to the floor limply.My body shook violently from both starvation and weakness and I couldn’t help but think that the weakness was as a result of starvation:Massimo had kept to his words and had locked me in my room since yesterday’s evening. Initially, I had banged at the door, screaming and crying for help, hoping that he would have compassion but after a few minutes of crying and no one came to help, I gave up because it was obvious that he wasn’t willing to.I had tried conserving my energy and channeling it into helping myself out of this situation but after a few hours, the effects of being locked in began to take its toll on me.Half expecting that he would come for me in the morning, I was glad that my misery would soon be over but those thoughts immediately flew out the window when morning came and he didn’t come… no one did.I continued waiting, like that until now and still there was no one by the door.At this
~Adriana’s POV~“Please no, stop…I’m sorry!” I cried out frustratedly as Massimo pulled off the bed sheets from my body and began to drag me out of bed.My body throbbed painfully and I was even too weak to fight back. With the little strength I had left, I sat up quickly on the bed and helped myself up before he had the chance to pull me any further.“Now, start eating the food!” He commanded and again I began to wonder if the food was really poisoned.The Massimo I knew would never try to force anyone to eat the way he was doing right now. It scared me to think about it and what even bothered me the most was how he watched me with Eagle eyes, as if monitoring every of my movements.“It’s obvious you want to starve to death… but you won’t do so in my house!” I heard him snap but before I could fully comprehend what he was trying to say, he roughly pulled me to my feet, sat in my place and then pulled me into his lapsStubbornly, I fought back but he was too strong for me and I qwas t
MASSIMO’s POVMy eyes were glued on the documents in front of me as if there was no tomorrow, I was simply just focused on it because it's the most important thing to me right now, anything that happens to it only means one thing and that's “Danger”. Still going through the documents when someone crept inside my sturdy room, it was obvious that I had left it open without locking it."You mustn't act like the thief you are searching for," I mouthed, focusing on my documents without glancing at him. I already knew that the person that entered was Michael even without seeing him."And you mustn't insult me at the slightest Chance you get huh? What I am about to tell you now is gonna shock you brother." He whispered in my ears and I inhaled softly, impatiently waiting for Micheal to drop the bombshell. I have been waiting impatiently to hear the news about the dumb thief for too long that now I was so curious, I was dying with curiosity."The thief got caught huh?" I questioned and he ro
Adriana’s POV“No!” I screamed fearfully, sitting up on my bed with a start. My entire body shook violently from fear and even my breath hitched in horror. I quickly glanced around the room, half expecting to see the monster from my dreams and when I realized that I was finally safe, I heaved a sigh of relief.Shrugging, I slowly crawled out of bed and groaned when I discovered that my dress was drenched in sweat and in fact, as it was, I was already dripping wet. Just when I felt that my raging heartbeat had been successfully calmed, a scream from the distance tore into the silence of the night and again my heart began beating frantically.The screams came repeatedly, tearing into the silence and despite the fact that I was curious, I didn’t dare to leave my room or to check for its source because I was scared of Massimo. His threatening words were still fresh in my head and I stayed in my lane so as not to annoy him more than I had already managed to. I was already scared because
~Adriana’s POV~I stood at the door with my hands slapped against me face in both shock and confusion. I didn’t know how to fully digest the scene barely five feet away from me. Massimo was with a girl. A girl who just happened to be the worst person one could think of; Jamie. I thought he said he had nothing to do with her and that she was nothing but a pest to him.What the hell was happening here then? To worsen the situation, I saw Jamie smirk smugly at me. She winked, made a sexual sound and from the look on her face, it was obvious that she was making fun of me at the moment. I just wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole but before it did, I wanted to squeeze the living daylights out of her!With Massimo’s dark eyes fixated on mine, he wasted no time jumping down from the bed and then began to walk in my direction.Initially, I had hoped that he was coming to give an explanation about what was actually going on and why he had Jamie in his bed but to my utter shock ,
~Massimo’s POV~It was one thing to sleep with someone you had no iota of feelings for and another entirely to find out that you were in fact sleeping with the twin of the person you had no iota of feelings for.My confusion knew no bounds as I glared between Jamie and her so-called twin sister, Jannie, but what confused me the most was how she had been able to behave just like her sister, temporarily deceiving me and making me sleep with her.Maybe sluttiness simply ran deep in their blood.“Aren’t you a traitor right now?!” Jamie screamed, pointing her crooked finger at her sister and for a minute, I wanted to slap myself in the face because that was one feature she didn’t share with her sister.Maybe I would’ve known!“Maybe I am but I wasn’t the one who’s been living off resources meant for the both of us and then leaving me to rot in that stinky jail in UAE!” The other yelled with equal venom.Again, I glanced between both of them, feeling the confusion wear off to leave just ang
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
