DavidI know I have a tail. Every time something happens or I go somewhere, my father knows exactly where I am. But whoever he is, he's good. Even someone with experienced eyes like me can't identify it.Nobody knows me. Well, that's not true. One person knows almost everything about me. Sousa, my partner.Not even Theo, my best friend, knows what I've been doing in the last four years that I haven't returned to the US.It's hard to keep this part of my life secret from Theo. I can trust him, but he would be in danger if he knew.My father doesn't even dream. No one dreams, in reality, that the only good thing he, my father, did for me was send me to England.God, I shudder to think what my fate would have been if he had decided to continue trying to shape me into his image.He thinks he can do it now, without the rebelliousness of my 16-year-old self, but I'm not the same person he sent away.However, when I searched Sarah's office and Simon's office here at home, I hadn't found any
SarahAnother sleepless night. It wasn't difficult to decide to take a pill and lie down waiting for the drug to knock me out. But the pill did not give me a night's rest.Simon didn't call me because of David. If anything happened, Simon went to look for him. David is taking a big risk and playing with a sense of morality that Simon doesn't have. As hard as it may seem, he would kill his son, and that wouldn't come as a surprise to me.No, he arrived only six weeks ago. Simon won't give up so quickly on turning him into someone useful to him. Some copy of himself.These last few days, I have not seen David's interest in me. It seems he is finally moving on with his life, on a path separate from mine. It hurts. How I wish everything were different, but it's better this way.Sitting at my desk, I try to focus on what I have in front of me, but today, my most important job wasn't here. I hate what I have to do and myself for doing it.My stomach turns just knowing that the man I have
SarahAfter talking to Simon, and he didn't tell me anything about Mickael, I decided not to ask.I informed him that David was available for the next phase, and Simon made his biggest smile of victory. Fuck, why does this make me feel so bad?That same day, alongside David, I entered the compound.His face was comical if I felt like laughing. - What is this place? A para-military training camp?I shake my head.No. This is the training ground for the group's operatives. Here, you will learn to fight and defend yourself, as well as to use guns and knives. - God. - Too much for you?- Everything in my fucking family is too much for me, but I’ll survive.I look at him. I believe so. He has a good body, which is the result of a lot of gym time, and he is intelligent. I believe it won't take much for him to become a good operative, perhaps a leader, which is really a shame.When we arrived at one of the buildings, I walked in and was immediately greeted by Mark.- Miss Scott, are you c
DavidMichael returns home after a few days. It seems that Sousa was right. My father's claws reach everywhere. He looked tired, but I assume it's all part of the victimization process for my father to see. Everything ended well, and something serious must have happened because the branch of the Societá Onorata, the Santa and Picciotteria 'Ndrangheta, seems to have calmed down or signed with the Campbells. I have been training every day, and according to Mark, I am getting better. Sarah trains me and beats me. Cold as ice, but when I touch her, I feel her shiver. I haven't been to the office. When I'm not training with her, I'm training with Mark or in the gym with Sousa. I didn't choose that gym by chance. There has been a scandal in the sauna for a few months now. Two guys were caught, one on his knees and the other filling him up to his balls. They didn't return to the gym, but no one else dared to use the sauna. This works to my advantage, as Sousa and I share saunas and
David After dressing in something more attractive, I call Thomas. - No. No. Nooooo. You're not taking me to any Yakuza club again. I laugh. - Stop being an idiot. Let's go to a bar. Any bar. Your choice. Who knows, you might meet the man of your life there. - Hey, stop being stupid. - He says, making a face. - How is it? Let's go out, or you'll make me go alone. With a less-than-annoyed sigh, Thomas says: - Okay, Okay, but I chose the place. I'll pick you up at home. - All good. I'll wait outside. Are you camming? Where are we going? - I am going. Hold your horses. As for where we're going... Do you have time and money? - Yes.- How about we go to Lucky Lady? - Good, let's go. This casino has nothing to do with my father. - You shouldn't meddle in your father's affairs. These are things that have nothing to do with you. - You're right. – but he wasn't right. Everything about my father has to do with me, whether it's because he wants me to be part of the organization or
Sarah (2 months after meeting David - present - continues from the first chapter)I dragged him over to Thomas, who got up immediately. The three of us went to the door, where the Uber was already waiting for Thomas.- Be careful when going up the stairs. Don't break another foot. David says, and I look at him with a raised eyebrow.-Fack you, ass hole.Thomas responds and gets in the car.The driver brings the car to the door, and I drag David in.The whole way to my house was silent. He didn't take his eyes off me, and my nerves didn't stop growing.- You gave away my money.- Why do you care about a few bucks if you wasted hundreds of dollars?David shrugs and huffs.He was too coherent now. Another fake drunkness?I wanted to ask, but I'll wait until I get home.When my house door closes, David turns me around and captures my lips.I tried to fight, but it wasn't a real resistance.I knew this was crazy, but I couldn't resist him. I give myself to him without thinking. Making lo
David- It's late, and I saw you go in this place, and... And I was worried.- And I want to know where did you learn to do a stunt like this.And now? What do I say?- I don't even know how I did it. The training must be doing me good.Sarah's eyes say she doesn't believe my Bullshit.We're going to talk about this again. Stay here and be quiet until everyone leaves. They should stay here for another two or three hours. Then you'll go straight to my house.- Yes, boss. - I say, making a salute.She rolls her eyes and pokes her finger in my chest.- I'm warning you. You stay here until it's safe.And after checking for guards, she leaves the room and goes back to what she was doing.If I left there and contradicted Sarah, she would become even more suspicious, so I obeyed. I hid in one of the corners and watched the sun rise above the horizon.When the sound of cars alerted me, I was about to fall asleep.One by one, the cars started to leave, and I gathered my courage and looked out
DavidWhen I enter Sarah's house, she sits on the couch with her legs crossed and a glass in her hand.She hadn't even changed her clothes.- Isn't it too early to drink?- It depends.- Depends on what?- on the bullshit you have to tell me.I roll my eyes.- What does drinking at this hour have to do with me?She throws the glass against the wall next to me, scaring me.- Cut the crap, David. What were you doing there? I advise you to be honest with me because it won't be pretty if I have to tell your father.- I love you. – I say. It wasn't at a time like this that I wanted to say it.- What?- What did you want me to do? I love you. I am crazy for you. I thought my father had called you to fuck you, and I was filled with jealousy.- And if it was for that? He is my future husband.- No. I know you love me too.What does love have to do with this? Furthermore, please explain how you managed to enter the complex without being seen. As far as I know, you don't have the skills to do t

SarahI knew this was crazy, but I couldn't resist him.All my senses told me to run from David Campbell, but his kisses made me forget the reality of my life and lose myself in pleasure.Everything about this was wrong and put me and my family in danger.- David, we can't. – I say without much conviction.- Do not think. Let your heart speak for you. You want me as much as I want you.- I'm engaged to your father. He will kill us.- You can't marry someone you don't love. You want me; you don’t want my father.- You don’t understand.- What do I don’t understand? What do you think will happen if you don’t marry him? Are you that afraid?- My life is not important. The important thing is to keep my family safe.I move away from him, knowing I let him desperate at the loss of contact.He follows me, traps me between him and the door, and searches for my lips.I try to resist, I swear I try, but the smell of his breath clouds my senses, and it’s impossible to resist.His hands ran over
SarahHe starts laughing, thinking I'm desperate.- There's no point in crying.- Please spare me. I'll do whatever you want.I can almost hear the pulleys rolling in the guy's head. The wound he had on his arm was superficial and no longer bleeding, which reminds me of Brian. I look at him, and he was breathing, but he was still unconscious and bleeding a lot. If the bleeding didn't stop, he wouldn't last long.- send the weapons here.I obey.- get undressed cow. I'm going to give you the biggest fuck of your life. Who knows, you might convince me to let you live using what you have between your legs.Good, he falls into the trap. I start to undress slowly. He could see me in, because I wasn't going to live long.- All. I want you lying naked in that same place.That's right, idiot. Because the knives are really here.I lie down and he looks at me with a lascivious look. The cap he had on his pants was visible.He puts the gun on the table.- don't do anything crazy. – he says witho

SarahThe shots don't stop, and I don't have my weapons. The police didn't let me keep any. Idiots. And now? How I defend myself.Oreo looks at me without realizing what's going on. He never comes inside, and now I'm here clinging to him in the kitchen.As suddenly as the shots started, they stopped. I wouldn't know if the Interpol men won or if they were lying dead on the ground.No more shots were fired at my window, but that doesn't mean anything. They didn't expect me to be watched.- Stay. – I order Oreo, stretching out my index finger, and he lies on the floor.Carefully, I leave my hiding place, move close to the floor, and go to the counter, where I take a knife from the drawer. Then, still crawling, I go to the entrance and look outside.Nothing could be seen, which was a bad sign. If the police had won, they would certainly be coming here to find out if I was alive.I wait a few moments and nothing happens.Would they have killed each other mutually?Of course, expecting th
SarahAfter last night, the last thing I needed was to be woken up by Simon. When I pick up the phone, I can't help but roll my eyes.- Good morning, Simon. Don't tell me that David is in trouble again.- No. That idiot has a hangover. It serves him well. Anyway, I wanted to tell you to stop by my office before going to work. I need to talk to you face to face.- I'll be there as fast as possible, but did I do something wrong? I got David…- You did nothing wrong, my dear. I want you at my office. You don’t need to run; I’m still at my house.And he hangs up.“Fuck. What he won’t now? Hope it’s not sex.”I can stop a chill in my stomach.Flashback to hellAlone, locked in the office of the man who caused her father's death, she begs under the man's cold gaze.- Miss Scott, business is business. Your father knew the conditions when he accepted my money. What do I care if you're going to live on the street with your mother? That property is not even enough to cover the remaining debt.-
SarahTo my amazement, I smell freshly brewed coffee when I wake up.I get up, do my morning rituals, and get dressed for work. When I enter the kitchen, David is making scrambled eggs.He feels my presence, and turning his head back, and with a smile, he says:- Good morning, Sarah. I took the liberty of making breakfast. Sit down, and I'll serve you. There you have coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, French toast, bacon, and... - he turns and pours some of the scrambled eggs onto a plate near me. - scrambled eggs.- Thank you for the breakfast, but you shouldn't have bothered yourself with me. I only drink coffee in the morning.- Oh, come on, Sarah. Just eat a little. You will not regret it. My French toast is the best you have ever had. - I roll my eyes. - At least keep me company.- My name is "Stepmother" or Miss Scott.David holds up his hands and grimaces. Sit down and start eating.I sigh and sit in front of him. Maybe eating a little wouldn't be that bad; the aroma of ba
- Do you think what she knows could harm us? - Anything can harm us, but she doesn't know anything to prove my involvement. Many things connect her to business more than to me. - And the wedding?- I already ordered everything to be canceled. I will publish that my fiancée has not yet been found and that the wedding has been postponed. - Dad, wouldn't it be wise to keep LA out of crime for now? Father is rich, and the business is legal… - Don't be stupid. No one can find the trail of what I do. As for legal business, I have an idea. - What idea? - Your brother will hate it, but it's the perfect solution. - What solution? - I ask, confused. - I will pass all legal business into your name. - You're right. Mickael won't accept it... - … and I'll pass on the other business to Mickael. Mickael wants to be the boss, and the business's value is five times what the legal business gives. Michael won't be upset... much. - Is the father going to retire? Don't be an idiot. I will ret
