Adriana’s POVThe drive with Massimo was unusually quiet and in order to distract myself from his intense stares, I looked out the window and watched the scenery move past.“You look beautiful,” I heard him say and in shock, I quickly turned in his direction to be sure that he was talking to me, and yes he was. “Yes, I’m talking to you… I said that you look beautiful.” He said again and I smiled because I had nothing to say to him.“Thanks,” I whispered and turned back to the window. My mind drifted off again to the last time I went out with Massimo only for Jamie to appear out of the blues to pour a bottle of wine over me. The thought made me shudder and for a minute, I thought about asking Massimo to ask the driver to turn the car around but I couldn’t, I was scared.I tried to shake off the fear of Jamie showing up but it just wouldn’t go away. The girl was like a pest and from what I had witnessed so far, it was obvious that she had her eyes squarely on Massimo. This thought bothe
~Adriana’s POV~“What the hell are we doing at a hospital?” I asked again and just like the first time, Massimo completely ignored me. His cockiness as well as the fact that he didn’t even acknowledge the fact that I had just spoken angered me; it made me see red and I almost thought about not following him in until I remembered the kind of beast he always morphed into whenever he wasn’t having his way with something.With hate filled eyes, I watched how he stepped into the hospital lobby like a freaking king and everyone began to bow at him like he was their god or something. The scenario annoyed me more than it amazed me and for a minute, I wanted to throw something at him… a tomato, a drink or something as long as I succeeded in ruining the moment for him.In frustration, I slowly trudged behind him, wondering what this whole drama was all about and cursing under my breath because he had made me dress like a ballerina to a hospital!My grumblings didn’t stop as we went up the elev
~Adriana’s POV~He slowly pulled away from me and to my surprise, he didn’t snap like I had half expected him to. He didn’t even try to pretend like the kiss didn’t happen, nor did he move away from me as the silent car continued to drive along the busy street.Deciding to ignore him and the array of feelings he was igniting in my body, I refocused my attention back to the passers-by on the road who were obviously going about their day to day activities and due to exhaustion as well as boredom, I soon began to doze off.“Sir, are we still making that stop at Walmart?” I heard the driver ask from the front and immediately, I began to pray that Massimo wouldn’t agree to that.I was tired as it is, so tired that even as my head bobbed, hitting the car’s window painfully at intervals, I still didn’t even try to change positions because I feared that moving around would only fully wake me up.“No, Adriana here is asleep,” Massimo replied, making me smile.It baffled me that the almighty Mas
~Adriana’s POV~“You sent for me,” I quickly blurted out as soon as I arrived at the foot of the stairs and found Massimo already sitting on one of the couches, and waiting with a TV remote clutched firmly in his hands.As soon as he heard my voice, he turned in my direction, smiled and then patted the spot close to him on the chair, in a gesture that meant that he wanted me to come sit with him. I reluctantly did as told and protectively wrapped my arms around my body as I went to sit beside him,The fact that I had to share this close proximity with him shortly after drowning in thoughts concerning him made me suddenly jittery and I gulped as one of his hands slowly snaked up my thigh to rest just around my hip bone.“I wanted to talk to you, Adriana,” he muttered softly, drawing my attention.Slowly, I turned to look up at him and as soon as my gaze fell on his dark piercing eyes, I gulped again. At this close range, it looked so beautiful that it could literally be passed for molt
~Adriana’s POV~“Jack…wow” I mumbled over and over again, still in disbelief as I stumbled up the flight of stairs to Massimo’s room.Even though I was excited due to the fact that Jack had been alive all along and that Massimo hadn’t been brutal enough to kill him simply because he had tried to help me escape, I still couldn’t shake out the tingling sensation that ran up my body at the thought of how the latter had touched me earlier.I could still feel his minty hot breath fanning the crook of my neck and could still feel the tingles from the spots where his hands had run up my body earlier, and this bothered me because he isn’t even here to begin with!I could literally feel him everywhere I went and could swear that I was seeing him right now, in my subconscious even though I was certain that he was in the living room downstairs.The different sensations running up my body made me suddenly so flustered and I cried out in anguish when again, I felt a sticky puddle forming at the ba
~Adriana’s POV~“Come here now, Adriana!” He growled angrily, making me flinch in fear but I didn’t move an inch. I couldn’t bring myself to move for fear of what he could do to me.I noticed how his eyes narrowed at me and also couldn’t help but notice how he shut the door behind him as stealthily as possible, and this made my heart begin to race frantically because I could say that that wasn’t a good sign.“Adriana…” he drawled, walking deeper into the room and the more he got closer to me, the more I shifted backwards until I could feel the cool wall against my back.“I’m sorry.”“Sorry for what exactly, Anna?… Sorry for what?” He replied in a singsong voice I couldn’t help but feel like he was only trying to lure me to himself by sounding like this.As he got to the foot of the bed, his eyes zeroed in on the phone which now laid discarded between the sheets and his eyes immediately darkened. “Who were you trying to call?” He asked and I gulped.How do I go about telling him that I
~Adriana’s POV~The first thing I did when I snapped my heavy eyelids open was to slap away Massimo’s big arm which had been carelessly draped around my aching body.“Anna?” He drawled sleepily but I ignored him and instead focused on trying to sit up as my body, especially around my cookie, throbbed painfully from all of his vengeful actions last night.I felt him move behind me but didn’t give a damn and after I had successfully helped myself up, I looked around the room in search of my clothes only to find them on the floor, and in shreds.“Motherfvcker..!” I cursed loudly under my breath. This made Massimo sit up too but as soon as he saw what I was looking at, he muttered something incoherent under his breath and went back to sleep like I didn’t mean shit.His attitude pissed me off and for a minute, I thought about hitting him hard on the head until he passed out but quickly changed my mind because I knew that he was still in a very bad mood and that he wasn’t even close to forg
~Adriana’s POV~A wild cry wracked my entire body as I stumbled into my room and threw myself on the cold floor dejectedly. Massimo had embarrassed me in the worst way possible and now I felt used, betrayed and dirty… and above all, I felt like a piece of trash. An old dirty trash sack to be used by the uncaring likes of Massimo and then dumped into a dumpster like I didn’t and never meant shit.I wanted to curse at him, to yell out profanities but I held my tongue in despair because I knew that no matter the amount of curses I rained on the monster, there was absolutely nothing I could do to change him. He was an animal, a beast who didn’t give a damn… moreover, I would only get myself in more trouble by doing so and the idea of getting punished again by him, the way I’d been earlier disgusted me. I couldn’t go through that for a second time.I cried for a long time, stopping to remember how he had easily discarded me at intervals and wondering how long I would have to endure this
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
