Adriana’s POVThe next few days fleeted past uneventfully. Ever since that misunderstanding with Massimo happened, I haven’t seen him. It was as if he had disappeared off the surface of the earth, leaving nothing but an eerily quiet house behind.Truthfully, I missed him, way more than I had expected to and I wanted him to come back from wherever he must’ve gone but no matter how many times I tried to reach him, I couldn’t. I was frustrated.Caden on the other hand had stopped calling but I didn’t know whether to be happy about that or be afraid. What if he had shown the pictures to Massimo? Thus the reason the other had refused to come back home?All these and many more thoughts flew around my head, making me confused and afraid at the same time.I contemplated calling Caden to reach an agreement with him but knowing how crazy he was, I quickly thought against it.Caden was one of those people who would use your weakness against you for his selfish reasons, and if he by chance finds
Massimo’s POVI stood in front of the large mirror with my legs spread out and my eyebrows cocked while I listened to my cousin, Dylan fill me in on what he had heard Adriana say on the phone to her mother some days ago… the day she had accused me of trying to poison her.To say I was shocked at the information was an understatement. I couldn’t even bring myself to believe that the girl I loved and was already on the verge of proposing to could do a thing like this to me.She was, by far worse than Jamie!“I still do not think it’s intentional… and I also think she never intended for all these to happen,” Dylan said with his head still bowed to me but I snorted.We were related by blood but still, he had to accord me some respect, and yes, he works as a slave in my house because his father owes me a huge sum of money. I was done being the cheerful giver for my family members. Those people were leeches, and now I had decided to begin to force them to pay me for every penny they owed m
Adriana’s POVI smiled forlornly as soon as I had successfully withdrawn the exact amount of money I needed to pay Caden off from Massimo’s banks but then I hesitated to send them off to Caden because somehow at the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but think that he would still come back to ask me for another sum.Unfortunately, I had become his new money bag, the new way he had devised to make some money for now, and if I didn’t do anything about it now, he would continue to blackmail me until I am caught.“I have to find a way out of this!” I snapped aloud to no one in particular.Deep down in my heart, I wanted to tell Massimo about my predicament. I wanted him to know that these things were not my doing and make him see the reason I was in such a mess but I couldn’t reach him.No matter how much I tried, or how many times I tried to call his numbers, it just wouldn’t go through. It was obvious that he was still very mad at me and there was nothing I could do about it.Just as I pic
Adriana’s POVFor the rest of the day, I felt bad, I felt dirty and guilty but then whenever Massimo asked me why I was too quiet, I usually just rewarded him with a lie… most of which I cooked up on the spot.The first time he asked, I said that I was only thinking about my mother, and then when he continued asking over and over again, I had to make up something more substantial. I lied that my stomach hurt badly and that I needed rest.Massimo seemed to understand me perfectly well because he immediately swung into action, acting instead as a good boyfriend would.He helped me with lunch, gave me body massages, and whenever I went silent again, to ponder over my predicament, he would come with one of those junks I loved. He was adorable… and it hurt because I was using him!At about nighttime, I silently made my way to his room, this time with the intent of telling him the whole truth but as soon as I arrived at his door and knocked, I instantly changed my mind.I couldn’t afford to
Massimo’s POVI smiled to myself as soon as she went back to bed, and because she was a heavy sleeper, she fell asleep right away.Deep down, I felt bad and disgusted because she didn’t trust me to confide in me at a time as crucial as this and to think that I had asked her about it earlier today, expecting that she would come clean as I did with Jessica’s issue, even made me angrier.One of the reasons I’d had sex with her tonight was to get her to sleep in the same room as me so that I could use the opportunity to check through her phone, and confirm the information I heard… and it worked.I watched her sleep for a while, contemplating whether to start now or wait a little longer. I couldn’t stand the wait anymore and so I decided to do it now.With nothing but curiosity coursing through my veins, I began to surf through the small device, and to my utter disbelief, Dylan was right!Caden was blackmailing her with some pictures, some pictures that were obviously taken when she was un
Massimo’s POV“We’re almost there!” Dylan said suddenly from the front of the car, causing me to turn and stare out the window.Even though the car was fully air-conditioned, I still asked him to wind down the windows, as I wanted to feel the afternoon air. It was hot, and right now, that was what I needed.Suddenly, I snapped my attention to the person driving my car. Initially, I hadn’t checked who the driver was, but then his voice caught my attention. It was Dylan!“Dylan?!” I snarled, glaring at him with cocked eyebrows, “I thought I already asked you to stop working? What’re you still doing here then?!”At my utterance, Dylan chuckled lightly but then to my utter frustration, he said nothing. Instead, he increased the volume of the music playing on the radio and began to absentmindedly tap on the car’s wheel.“I just asked a question, Dylan!” I growled, feeling myself get angrier with each passing minute.I didn’t want Dylan working for me anymore, and that was one of the reaso
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
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
