DIEGO SALVATORETwo days had passed and Taylor was successfully discharged. I led her out of the hospital and helped her into the passenger seat of my car, gently supporting her as she settled in.She looked up at me with tired eyes. "Diego, where's Olivia?" She asked softly as I closed the door and walked around to the driver's side. I started the car and pulled out of the hospital parking lot. "She had to leave, Taylor. But she's fine, don't worry.""Leave to where?" She pressed. I sighed. "I don't want Olivia to get involved in my mess, if I can take you away from it too, I would. However, you're the center of it so no matter where I take you to, they'll always come after you, that's why you belong by my side." She smiled. "I hope she's safe.""She's okay and can look after herself." She nodded and was quiet for a while before asking again. "Where are we going now?" "Somewhere safe.""Where?"Taylor would surely occupy me with her questions. "When we get there, you'll see."
DIEGO SALVATORE I stared at the screen of my phone with Donovan's name boldly written on it. What exactly was his problem and why couldn't he just stay away. I inhaled deeply, thinking of the audacity he had to call me. I didn't have to pick, but screw that, not like he could track me. This place was wired all way round with a network that cuts all connections, only my phone can have access to calls and when that's over, all call histories are ghosted. I picked up. "What a surprise old man, thought you severed all ties with me," I started my voice tinged with frustration. There wasn't an immediate answer and I swear I almost ended the call. "Where's Olivia?" He asked. "Oh, and here was I thinking you'd care or ask about me." "I'm not asking for trouble, I just want to know how my kids are doing." "You mean those you sent your thugs to eradicate?" He was quiet for a moment. "How did we become like this, Diego?" I clenched my jaw. How dare he ask such a question, like he di
TAYLOR MACKENZIEWas I asking for too much, for Diego to fuck me. When he claimed my lips I could feel the wetness between my legs and since my legs were parted, I couldn't control myself. I opened my mouth and said the words I had always wanted to say. "I need you inside me."His eyes widened. "Are you sure?"I nodded immediately. "Touch me, Diego. Please." He immediately lifted me with my legs wrapped around him and walked into the room. He laid me on the bed and captured my lips in a slow intense kiss and when he broke apart, he started taking off his clothes. I was on my night gown so it was fast to take off mine. My breast were free in air and my cunt exposed to him, wet, needy turning me into a horny whore. Once he dropped his boxer briefs, the sight of his huge cock gave me dirty imaginations, I wasn't seeing it for the first time but I couldn't get enough of seeing it. "It.. it's huge," I sucked at my bottom lips, slightly closing my legs. He walked close and opened my le
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI chuckled after Diego said he wanted to fuck me in the bathroom, although I still felt the pain between my legs, I couldn't say no. I loved him. "Did you even need to ask," I said and he smiled. He gently dropped me on the ground. He started by trailing his hand upwards from my tummy to my chest, and took hold of my breast. "Ohh," I moaned as his lips found the hollow of my neck and he kissed me. Cold shivers passed through me when he reached my clit and pinched it. Just as immediately as it happened, he thrust a finger inside me. His lips kissed mine and I didn't miss how dominating his kisses were. I move back until my back met the wall. Diego turned on the shower knob and warm water flowed down, meeting our skin as he lifted my right leg and wrapped it around his waist. At the next instance, he thrust into my wet pussy. I threw my head back against the bathroom wall and moaned in deep breaths. He goes deeper, in and out in and I moaned, unable to contain it
DIEGO SALVATOREMy ride was interrupted by my ringing phone and I checked the caller, it was Marco."Marco!" "Where are you?" He asked."On the road.""Still? You should get here, Mayor isn't a patient person.""What should I do? Fly?"He exhaled over the phone. "I want us to get this over with as soon as possible.""Why? What's wrong.""Nothing serious.""Oh, fuck that Marco and tell me what's wrong."He was quiet before he spoke. "It's about Mayor.""What about him?" I asked."I've been digging into him, his past, background like you asked. Alot of things seems wrong.""Details.""He operates in some illegal companies and ships out certain containers that have no labels or paperwork. I dug deeper and found out people might be inside those containers.""He's trafficking people?" "Women, most especially. He's quiet because he's doing alot in secret. These are lots red flags and I'm sure he's not as trustworthy as he seems."I sighed quietly, my brows furrowing. It's not like I didn'
TAYLOR MACKENZIEMayor, it was him. I looked at Diego and his expression was murderous. I withdrew my hand immediately, clearing my throat. "Nice to meet you, Mayor." "Good to see you, Mayor. I didn't know you'd show up here." Diego spoke for the first time since the man came, he was wearing a fake smile that showed nothing far from discomfort."Ah, this is my place so, there's no wrong in coming by, is there.""Apparently not." Diego's jaw tightening imperceptibly.Mayor ignored him and looked at me, leaning in closer as his charm turned somewhat predatory. "You're even more beautiful in person," he complimented me.This made me uncomfortable and I reacted by shifting uncomfortably in my seat."You can leave, Mayor. We're actually in the middle of something," Diego said."Leave? Why?" He asked and smoothly pulled out a chair. "Why don't I join you both? I insist."I looked at Diego, maybe the Mayor helped him save my life but I didn't like him. "Actually, Mayor, we were hoping fo
DIEGO SALVATOREI knew Mayor was trying to mess with me, trying to remove my presence so he could talk to Taylor. However, I trusted her. I stormed back inside after I found out his men were blabbing about the arms when the fault was from them. I saw them from afar. Mayor leaning closer to Taylor, their conversation seeming uncomfortably intimate. Taylor's face, usually serene, now bore a tense expression that sent a wave of unease through me. I fastened my pace to the table, my stomach churning with a mix of anger and concern."Everything alright?" I asked, trying to gauge the situation without drawing attention.Taylor hesitated, her eyes flickering briefly to Mayor before meeting my gaze. "It's nothing," she said, but I didn't miss the trembling of her voice. "Taylor," I walked over to her, cupping her face in my hands. "Did anything happen?""I think we should leave Diego, please," she said, her voice carrying a note of hurry. I frowned, something definitely felt wrong. Taylor
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI sat on the bed, reading a book I bought from an online store. It was amazing with incredible plot twist but my happiness was interrupted by a call. It was a strange number and Diego had told me only he could contact me. I ignored the call, although I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease settling in my chest. The phone rang two more times before it ended. I exhaled, going back to my book when a text message popped up. I could read a text message. I picked up my phone and read it. "You're becoming a naughty girl, Taylor. If you don't want to see Diego's head hanging from a streetlight, you better come to this location. And I know where you are, I know what you're doing, you don't want me coming over cause I'mma do some pretty bad things to you." Smirking emoji.I threw the phone. It was Mayor, only him could send such a message. What should I do? I couldn't go? Diego asked me to stay. But what if he hurts Diego. I ran my hand through my hair, I was confused. I
TAYLOR MACKENZIEIt was now evening after I locked myself in my room due to the attitude Mark showed me. I wouldn't lie, I was angry he yelled at me, he was an asshole for doing that. My stomach rumbled and I knew it was time to eat. I inhaled deeply and decided to open the door. However, before I could, it opened, displaying Mark, standing by the entrance. I rolled my eyes, I would have argued that I locked it but who was I kidding, Mark would surely have the keys to everywhere and everything, my life included. "What?""Dinner," he answered, showing me the covered food in the tray he carried."I'll pass," I made to close the door but he blocked it with his legs."Your stomach says otherwise, I could hear it from outside."I stared at him. "My problem.""Is that so?" He asked and opened the covered food. That was it, I lost my mind."Screw you!" I grabbed the food from him and rushed inside my room, eating like my life depended on it. Mark entered the room and closed the door before
TAYLOR MACKENZIEMark’s voice was steady but lacked conviction. "It’s nothing, Mayor."Mayor’s face immediately twisted into a scowl. Without a word, he crossed the room and slapped Mark hard across the face. The sound echoed sharply through the room. My heart missed a beat at the impact but Mark just stood, unmoved with his head still bent. "Why do you sound so soft?" he growled."I apologize, I was just getting Miss Taylor ready for the day," he answered."Really? And why are you just doing that now, what happened to earlier."Earlier? What did he mean. I looked at the clock and saw it was already twelve. Shit, Make didn't wake me up early, he gave me enough time to sleep. Screw this, he didn't deserve to he beaten by Mayor, I had to do something. "My apologies.""I don't need your apology, you'll be punished-""No! Stop."Both of them looked at me and I gave an awkward chuckle. "You see Mayor, I called Mark and was just yelling at him for waking me up early."Mayor’s eyes narrowed
TAYLOR MACKENZIEWhen Samantha said I'd be exhausted when she's done, I didn't think it would be as painful as it felt now. My back was hurting, so was my shoulders and fingers. I was quiet in the car as she drove me back to the garden where the tunnel was. "You good?" She asked and I nodded. "You're going to need to work hard and exercise everyday so your body can adapt to the stress and load you're giving it."I gave her a thumbs up and she led me to the tunnel. "Can you crawl?" She asked."Yeah, I'll try," I said. She bid me farewell and I found my way. I pushed myself until I slipped into my room unnoticed, being careful enough to avoid any unnecessary noise.I didn't strip any of my clothing but climbed on my bed collapsing onto it as my mind was still swirling with the training Samantha had made me go through. Well, that was past tense, I needed to get some sleep, no matter how little so that I could have a little energy before Mark would start his day by walking into my room
TAYLOR MACKENZIESamantha returned and walked straight to where she kept her bag, she reached into it and pulled out a sleek black gun. "In this life, we'll be faced with many challenges, from lots of enemies I'll call it, that's why we have to be ready for anything, as well as equiped.""Where are you driving at?" I asked.She faced me and extended her hand, giving me the gun with a serious look."What?" I stood to my feet."Calm down Taylor, take the gun and shoot that vase."I looked at the vase she talked about before returning my stare to her face. "I have held a gun before, once, Diego gave it to me. However I couldn't use it when I needed to, I-""You panicked Taylor, you were in shock and let your emotions take over you. Now is different, if you let yourself, you could master it and yield it whenever you want."I glanced at the gun, my face falling into a look of apprehension. "I'm sorry Samantha but, I don’t really want to use it. It has lots of memories attached to it." Sam
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI walked back into the mansion, a hand rubbing my neck due to the grip Mayor had on me earlier. He was an asshole. As I got into the house, I met Mark, he noticed as I rubbed my neck and immediately approached me. "Are you okay?"I took a step backwards. "Yes, why do you care?" "Your neck, it's-""Thompson tried to kill me. News flash, I didn't die."He reached out to touch me. "It must have hurt."I moved backwards again. "Don't touch me Mark, I mean it?"He took back his hands, burying them into his pocket. "Why are you still mad at me?" "I don't know, just don't feel like talking to you, just mind your business.""I'm responsible for you, I watch you.""Then do it from miles away, you don't have to be so close," with that, I walked away. I didn't stop or turn to him until I arrived at my room. I exhaled and relaxed.A week had passed since I and Samantha started our revenge journey. I usually snuck out in the nights of Wednesdays and Sundays to see her. And pic
THOMPSON VOLKOVThe early morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of my bedroom as I got ready for my daily workout. I had alot on my head now, people I needed to kill all because of their stupidity and inability to understand and cooperate with me. After a quick wash at the sink, I splashed my face with cool water, shaking off the remnants of sleep. I was ready and descended the staircase, the steps echoing softly under my weight.I was just going to walk out of the house but in the kitchen, I perceived something amazing. The aroma of fresh breakfast which started drifting through the air. It was a pleasant, yet unexpected scent."Who's it?" I asked, entering the kitchen."Oh, Thompson."I frowned as I was greeted by the sight of Taylor standing by the stove, busy with a skillet and a variety of ingredients spread out on the counter. She looked up as I entered, her face breaking into a warm smile.“Good morning, Thompson” Taylor said cheerfully. “I’m making breakfast. I t
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI knew I caught both Mark and Mayor off guard by my comment. Mayor's grip on my jaw loosened while Mark was staring at me, as I saw through my side eye. "Let go Thompson, those lips are important to both of us."He hesitated for a while before leaving me. I rubbed my jaw, trying to act unaffected but the pain was something else. "So, Taylor,” Mayor said, his voice smooth. "About your accident. How are you feeling after stabbing yourself just so you could leave this place to that uncomfortable hospital?"I offered him a cheeky smile. "Never been better, sometimes day offs are just the best, you should try traveling Thompson, it'll help you relax and get your mind off the list of people you think hate and are trying to kill you. Who knows, I might even tag along.""It's good to know you're okay," he said, ignoring my last statement."Actually, I'm a bit shaken up, but it's nothing I can’t handle. I actually feel a lot better now, better than I've felt since I got int
TAYLOR MACKENZIEI glared at Mark before approaching and collecting the medicine bag. "Thanks doc," I appreciated. I walked back toMark who just stood near the car, his eyes on me. As I got closer, he moved toward me, his strides purposeful and brisk.“Hey, Taylor!” he called out, his voice carrying a blend of warmth in contrast to how it was before. However, I wasn't listening to to whatever he wanted to say."Let's just go," I said but he grabbed my arm before I could walk past him. He reached out and took the hospital bag from me."Calm down, Taylor."I looked at him before giving a very fake smile. "Okay, how about this? Hey, Mark. Thanks for coming to pick me up, it means alot?" He chuckled softly. "Let’s get you home," he said. I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of him until we approached the car. I got inside and he did the same, after strapping our seatbelts, we drove off.As the ride proceeded, Mark gaze flickered toward me, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern."
TAYLOR MACKENZIE"Looks like it took you alot to get here." The nurse said and confusion washed over me. I was processing the meaning of her words when I realized her voice sounded familiar."Is that, you?" She smiled and looked up from her clipboard, her eyes meeting mine. She nodded gently and I gasped, wondering how she passed Mayor's men. Samantha removed her nose mask revealing her familiar face and I was left breathless momentarily."Samantha?" I whispered. "How did you pass them?" I asked."Wasn't hard, and that's a story for next time." "No, I want to know, tell me!"She inhaled. "I have a spy, disguised as one of Mayor's men, I won't tell you who, that's how I get intels""Wow," I whispered, tears filling up my eyes. "I was scared. I thought you'd never find me." "That's nearly impossible," she answered.I sniffed. "Can I, please hug you.""Sure," she said and I rushed forward, enveloping her in a tight embrace. Samantha returned the hug, her arms a comforting anchor arou
