Dimitri I'm walking around the house to see if there is anyone. I keep searching for her but she does not seem to turn up anywhere. “That's odd". I was told that she was waiting for me. That she kept looking out the window to see if I had arrived. That after looking out the window, she would go back to my room to check and confirm if she had missed my arrival and now that I am here I cannot seem to find her. “Where did she go?" I ask the house. For a moment, I could hear my voice echo through the walls. I look around to see if there is any other person around and there is no one. The house has the best and most magnificent kind of furnishing. The type that visitors never fail to praise and gush about. The type that she put in all her time and energy to perfect but they seem to be the only things taking up the space. It seems like the house was built and decorated only for furniture. It's sad but it is what I am used to. I walk into her room and look around everywhere but she is stil

Dimitri“Nothing. She does not know." She does not need to know.“I know that this relationship is fake and all but I think you need to tell her about this. You could hide some details but you don't need to hide her new reality from her."“I don't think it's any of her business to know what is going on," I argue.“She already signed a non-disclosure form. Is it not enough that she was blind-sighted in this relationship without having any knowledge of the true risk involved? I know that if she had known who you truly are she wouldn't have agreed to anything with you." Why did it hurt to hear that part? “This is her life we're talking about."“She already signed her life over to me. I am paying for it."“But you haven't paid for it in full and you definitely did not pay for her death." That statement puts a halt in my train of thought.“I can protect her well enough. You have nothing to get worked up over." I say as I walk into the elevator.“Look at how easy it was to get to you yester
Vanessa“It's just a sprain." The doctor says and then turns to Dimitri who's standing and watching like a hawk “ There is nothing wrong, I promise." I think he is as anxious as I am with the way he stands like a big, intimidating statue.“You just need to put some ice to help with the swelling and keep the weight off the leg for a few days and it will be good as new." He says with a smile that I try to return through the pain. I need something to help with that.“And is there anything to help with the pain?" Dimitri asks before I can voice my thoughts. It's like he is in my head and knows exactly what I want to say. I say nothing in return and just stare at him. Apart from the fact that he is big and intimidating, his forehead is creased and his face is etched in what seems to be his version of worry. Or maybe I'm wrong and he's just admiring his latest artwork because I don't think he has an ounce of care in his body. Hell will probably freeze over before he cares about anything or
Prologue“ I can’t believe the old bastard did this to me ”I keep thinking as fresh, raw grief makes its way under my skin while I’m watching the coffin holding the person I most detest sink into the ground.“ Even from the grave, beyond death, the old maggot still finds a way to sink his claws into my life. Trying to tear my happiness away.” I say to Carter as we both watch.“ I guess the devil has finally met his match if this man still has a way to torment you from the depths of hell” he replies while tilting his imaginary hat in fake reverence. I wish I could just punch him across the face, to break that perfectly structured nose. I know that everyone, especially the women would go into fits on that one and I’m ready to take on whatever comes after but what good would it do my reputation to punch my best friend at my father’s funeral.I guess I could just blame it on my supposed grief. That would be very satisfying seeing as the smug idiot chooses to find the humor in my plight.
Vanessa"They’re here”Martina says from behind me.“ You!, Yes you Vanessa, should hurry up and set up the wine bottles on the table or would you prefer to do that when they’re already settled in ?”NO! NEVER!! I wouldn’t want to appear unethical in the intimidating presence of the family and their friends.Being well acquainted with my clumsy self, I wouldn’t put it past me to drop something and make an unfitting spectacle of myself.“ Hurry.” she says once again, sounding more agitated by the passing second while ushering me in the direction of the dining room.“ You wouldn’t want to irritate your bosses."My said bosses are some of the most intimidating people that you might ever get to meet. I don’t say this because I have seen them get furious and lash out at people, even though I have. I’m saying this because they are some of the most influential people to walk this planet and their aura alone is enough to intimidate you. They belong in the upper echelon of the high class soc
VanessaOh okay…No, shit! How could I have forgotten that. What do I do now? I can’t be in the presence of him and his family. Oh Lord! How did it get this bad?“ Can you just help me take this to him? I’ve been feeling this lingering pain in my chest all day and seeing him in grief might just cause my heart to give up. Please…” I give Leon my best puppy eyes but the straight look on his face tells me that I am not going to be successful in this one. “ You’re going to have to face the devil on your own this time.”“ You’ve been here in this house for about eight years and still haven’t gotten used to his presence.” Barry adds with a hint of laughter in his voice.“ Well, I don’t think anyone gets used to having the devil around” says my soul sister Tianna. I look at her, feigning sadness in my eyes and bat my eyelashes,“ how about you take it to him for me instead?” “ I’m with Leon on this one, you should face your fears by yourself. Plus I heard he’s in the study with his friends
VanessaI don’t even wait on a response to my knock because I know he’s so rude and might want to keep me standing for long for having taken that much time. I walk in and everyone is staring at me making me feel too conscious. What the hell have they been talking about? I hope they don’t think I’ve been eavesdropping cos I wasn’t. Why would I even want to eavesdrop? They were probably having a chauvinist party downgrading all the women they know. Why would I want to partake in that?Or do I have a stain on my dress? Or is my hair out of place? I always make sure to check that I’m alright cos I don’t want to misrepresent my bosses. I really took my time this morning to fix myself up knowing we would have guests today. Or do they know about the crush that I’ve been nursing for Dimitri and his older brother? I know it’s twisted but they’re magnificent in their own ways especially Stefan who is so perfect and dreamy. Is that why him and his friends have that look on their faces? Do they

Dimitri I hear the door open and Francesca walks right in. “I had a room prepared for you. I hope you do not have any plans to go back tonight." “Yes, son. You should not be thinking of leaving tonight. We don't know how long before they attack again. We cannot risk anything." He backs her up but I am not having any of it. “I am not going to hide from anyone or anything. If I am to be attacked again the moment I leave then so be it. I have no plan of giving anyone access to my brain to dictate my movement." They plan to get me paranoid. To get me scared that I do not trust anything around me. I'll be damned if I give them that pleasure. It would be better if they kill me right away. “You are not being reasonable Dimitri. You should at least let things settle for the night and move out tomorrow." She suggests. Francesca does not just care for anyone like that. She certainly has an ulterior motive for her to insist on this. “Dimitri try to be reasonable. Your life right now is more
Dimitri As soon as I walk in through the doors for the second time this night, I am immediately engulfed in a hug. Francesca rushes to me quickly and traps me in a hug which I immediately pull away from. I do not want her touching me. Not even a near-death experience is enough to make me tolerate her touch. She does not seem to get the message though as she reaches and holds my face. “I am glad you are okay. I was so worried about you." She drawls. “There is no need for that," I answer monotonously. “I am so relieved that nothing happened to you. Not a scratch on you." She tries to sound concerned but it sounds differently in my ears. I know she would not order an attack on me but I do know that it is a lie when she said she's relieved that there is no scratch on me especially not with the news I gave her a while ago. She might not want me dead but she would appreciate a broken bone or two. I do not respond to that. I walk in the direction of her father's study and she follows suit
UNKNOWN POV I watched him leave the house and get into the car. I watched him drive off and I notice him talking to someone in the car while driving so I send them to attack. He thought his godfather will deliver him from my hands. He thinks all of this plan just happened to come around today which is why he thinks he can beat me. I feel sorry for his wife though. She got married to a man who is already halfway in the grave. I am not ready to kill him yet. I want him paranoid. To live I great fear. He is very stubborn just like his father so it will be very interesting to watch him unravel. Piece by piece I will tear him apart until there is nothing left after which I will grant him his heart's desire of death. The bastard thinks anyone can find me. I am everywhere he is and nowhere at the same time. It would be difficult to find his own shadow. He might continue to search but he will never find me. Not until I am ready to deliver the final blow. I watch the two bikers intercept h
Dimitri The sound of her voice pierces through the house. It would not be nice to argue with someone like her as he 'Mr voice' might shatter everything. “Ah! I did not tell you earlier. Dimitri just got married and he is here on a honeymoon with his wife." He excitedly breaks his need for her. “What? That's not true is it?" She asks with hope on her face like she is waiting for me to deny it. “It is true and they are coming over for dinner this weekend." He adds. “I wasn't asking you, Dad. I want him to speak for himself." She does not fail to hide how disrespectful she is to anyone. It isn't something I am not used to. “I am married and I have to get back to my wife soon," I reply only because her father is here and he probably thinks we are still on good terms. No man wants anyone to disrespect his daughter especially not in front of him. “Why didn't you invite us?" Thank God she is sensible enough to hide part of her feelings. “Stop trying to drill the man. He had to rush it
Dimitri “Hello Francesca," I say and try to escape her embrace but she does not let go. This is the one thing I did not prepare my mind to face but I am not surprised. I was told that she moved away from her father's home. I guess someone told her I was coming around tonight. “Why did it take you so long to come here? Have you been avoiding me? Do not lie to me. I know you too well." I force her hands away from my waist. This time, she does not resist. She moves from behind to the front of me, coming in line with my vision. She is clad in a red dress with a deep neckline, revealing her cleavage. Vanessa would never wear something like this. It is so obvious what she is trying to do so I let my eyes rest on her breasts for a little longer. She got ves off a very wide smile of satisfaction thinking she has me buying whatever it is she is trying to sell to me. “I do not avoid anyone. You only get to see me when I want you to." I state carefully with no hope that she will understand.
