*Victoria POV*

"Oh!" I faked a sneeze, using that method to nudge her to the side, preventing her from taking a look at the other section.

"Hey! Are you okay?" She lost focus, reverting her full attention to me. I gave a rapid nod while also dragging her out of the section." I think I'm reacting to the smell of this place," I lied, hastening us out of the place.

"But nothing is smelling," she tried to protest, giving me a confused look, but I didn't allow that to distract me; I needed to get her out of there. "Hey! Slow down!" She snapped at me, but I still didn't slow down my pace until I reached the next two sections—where lingerie and bikinis were being sold.

"Seriously now?" Judy complained, huffing out most annoyingly. "What's the use of purchasing this girl?" I bite the bottom of my lips; I don't know why my heart is pounding very fast. I never knew this shopping would be a bad idea; I just prayed Maxwell wouldn't come here unless I wouldn't be able to do anything to stop this i

    *Victoria POV*I couldn't sleep properly that night; the scene of how Carlos kissed me into silence in the process of my rant never eased from my memory. It caused a newfound feeling, one I'm still confused about, haunting my mind like a ghost in a haunted house.Moreover, we ought to be leaving today, but I couldn't stand seeing him after what happened last night. I think I was too shy to stand him this morning, so I dropped a message that I had very important things to do, so he should head ahead with my things and would join him later. Honestly, I didn't plan to pay Maxwell's mistress a visit, but getting into such a tense situation, I needed something, or better still someone, to pour it into, so my best bet is visiting the bitch.The cab halted in one of the streets of Brooklyn, in front of Daisy's Bridal World. I stepped out and stared at the building; a mysterious smile crept into my face without my knowing it. My mind flashed with blurry memories of the past when I first visit

    *Victoria POV*Her gaze fell to the ground before it rose again, releasing a loud huff. "I didn't know at first until after several nights of us fucking each other," my knuckles tightened."There was no way for me to know; whenever he goes to Manhattan, he always tells me it was his grandmother he was going to visit, not knowing it was his fucking wife and children!" Anger rose in me again. "Watch it, bitch!" I reprimanded her for the way she was speaking about my friend."Nevertheless, you know you're messing with my girl. You broke the girl's code, and I don't care whether you know or not because when you later found out, you still refused to back off!""You think it's that easy? I love this man! He means the world to me, and I've come to a conclusion that I don't mind sharing in the meantime," my eyebrows cocked up." For the meantime?""Yes, for the meantime, Maxwell promised to divorce her soon; besides, he doesn't even love her; he only married her because she got pregnant. The b

    *Victoria POV*"VICTORIA, COME TO THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW! The text message gave out an urgent order.I slide out of the cab with the gift box in my hands. I was so excited; I would get to see my husband again after being away for over a month due to a contract deal.I believe he too, couldn't wait to see me as well that's why he sent that message."Bradley, "I called out with much enthusiasm, dancing on my toes as I walked past the foyer of our small bungalow house."Welcome honey!" I rushed to give him a hug, kissing him all over his face. I pulled away with a creased eyebrow when he didn't reciprocate. His behavior was strange; the Bradley I know would have been all over me; he would even try to make out with me immediately, so what's wrong?"Honey, what's the matter?" I inquired, keeping the gift box aside before turning to face him. He stepped away from me and dropped the glass of red wine that was in his hand; his expression was stoic and unreadable.It was when he stepped away furt

"Go, Vikky! The cheers pour in more. My gaze locked on the crowd of people, the kind of nightlife of the people of Manhattan."Bitch... better have my money, I sing the lyrics of the famous Rihanna song, grinding my waist against the pole while I blow my gum at the crowd."Shit, put yourself together," I scolded myself due to the way a particular grey-eyed man was staring intensely at me. I know that hunger swirling in his eyes; in all my three years as a stripper, I have come across numerous intense glances like this, just that this one looks more terrifying.I continue to do my thing on the pole while still secretly watching out for the guy. I saw him whisper something to his bodyguard with his index finger pointing at me."Like bla...bla...blah," I yelled enthusiastically, banging my fro

    *Bradley POV*It still hurts as if it happened yesterday. I know back then I was young and naive; I would have done things much better, but even though I did it all for her—to protect her.I look at the big, several portraits littering the walls of my bedroom, her big, sparkling hazel eyes, her beautiful smile, and those sexy dimples on her face make my heart clench every time I think back to that night. It still hurts, but I did it for her, for her own good.I strode out of my closet, holding the outfit I will be putting on today. I have a few gang meetings to host on behalf of Carlos. I am his consigliere, but he gives me jobs and duties as if I'm the boss.I dressed up, picked up my car keys, tucked them into my pocket as well as my handgun, and strode out of my room."What are you still doing here?" My jaw twitched with rage, blazing my eyes at the whore I picked last night. I am slowly drifting into becoming a sex addict. I normally pick up to three whores in one night to quench

This can't be true.FEW MOMENTS BACK___I slid out of my old Corolla car and took my toothbrush and paste along with me. I brushed my teeth at a nearby gutter before sliding back into the car. My cellphone was beeping tremendously with text—Judy, my best friend, was killing me with numerous text messages."Bitch, come back and do your laundry!""Hey! When are you coming back home?""Don't you have a break from work?""Maxwell has gone again; you can come!""Please... please, I'm bored being a housewife. Come over." I read the message, laughing my ass off. Judy and I have been the best of friends since our high school days. After my divorce from Bradley, she has been sheltering me. However, I sensed her husband wasn't quite okay with the arrangement, so I have been sharing it; most days I sleep in my car when he is in town and go over when he isn't in town.Another message beeped on

    *Bradley POV*When Carlos told me the girl he had in mind was working inside this club, I was disappointed at his choices."With all due respect, my lord, do you think this is the right way to go about it?" I intoned, going inside the suite with him."What are you scared of? Relax, Brad. When you see her for yourself, you will know that she isn't a mistake." He countered."Boss, this person in question is a stripper? How is she a good choice? We need a tamed—" He cut in, "Trust me, this is a perfect lady for this job. She might not be entirely tamed, but she is beyond able for this task." I sighed out of frustration. How could a stripper be a better option? She might end up backing out from the deal or demanding more—they are naturally greedy bitches."So where is she?" I requested."She will soon be here; I send one of the guards to fetch her." I gave a curt nod of understanding, hiding the displeasure from my face. "Please excuse me; I need to use the restroom," I informed him, stru

Today I will be going to one of his houses to take pictures with him to portray the whole facade to be real."Babe I don't like this; you know those people are dangerous, right?" Judy grunted, helping me pull out my clothes abruptly from the wardrobe."You know I need this." I arranged the clothes into the truck, giving her a puppy look. "Seriously!" She huffed and puffed."So, should I fix you breakfast?" she requested, and I shook my head instantly."You're so evil!" She barked out."Why do I have a feeling that you just want to move out of my house? Are you tired of me?" She gave me a skeptical look and the one that looked like she was hurt."Jeez!" I raised my hands in surrender before I assured her, "C'mon babe, it's not about you at all; it's about my goal, babe!" I cupped

    *Victoria POV*"Jeez! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, babe!" I apologize, slapping myself hard on the face when I pulled back from her and realized what I'd done. "I don't mean to attack you, I swear!" I continued to explain; she didn't say a word; she just walked to the couch, sat down, and continued crying."Judy, please! I'm sorry." I went to her, trying to get on my knees, but she quickly stopped me. "I should be the one apologizing, Vikky. I went too far with my words; I don't know what came over me. I'm so sorry; all this is just taking a toll on my feelings." She sniffed, guiding me to sit in the space closer to her. I took her palms and looked straight into her eyes. I know you're going through a lot, but don't worry; I will deal with it for you." My eyes shone with determination; her face flushed with a scared look. "I don't want you to get into trouble, babe. I'll handle things.""What did we promise ourselves about always standing for each other? Your fight is my fight, babe; we a

    *Victoria POV* Carlos drove me back to the Russo Villa. I hadn't yet gotten myself, so he took me in his arms inside. "Thank you!" I mumbled softly while he helped me take out my shoes and jewelry and ducked me under the duvet. He strode into the bathroom before the noise of running water filled my ear—he was having his bath; I was too weak to go and do the same. "Do you want me to clean you up?" He enquired, trotting back to the bedroom. I shook my head as a sign of disapproval. I will blush to death if he sees me naked; I don't think I have gotten so free with him to that extent. "Okay," I watched him from the corner of my lazy eyes, fitting into a pair of light pajamas. I also didn't fail to catch sight of his flaccid manhood; it looked so small and harmless, but I bet when it's fully aroused, it can devour the hell out of someone. My eyelids were weakening with every passing second; I was slowly accepting the call of the god of sleep. Carlos joined me on the bed; he nudged me cl

    *Victoria POV*We glared at each other eyeball to eyeball. I bet he wanted to communicate with me through his eyes to mind my business, but it was not going to work; my big mouth must be put to use. "Um, Mr Max, I was wondering where Ju—" He cut me off by dragging me away to a nearby corner."Take your freaking hands off me!" I snapped and wrung my arm from his hold, which made me earn a few scratches."What the fuck is your problem? Don't you know how to mind your damn business!" He barked, eyes dilating."Well, in this case, it's my business. I just saw my best friend's husband in the arms of another woman. Care to explain? You motherfucking cheat!" He raised his arms up, attempting to slap me, but another hand held him mid-air. Carlos glared down at him, eyes bloodshot; he swirled him around by the hand and flung him against the wall, making a loud thud sound erupt in the air."Carlos please!" I cried out when he hit him across the face sending Maxwell's body spinning backward; I

    *Victoria POV*I continued to stare at the message, blinking with bafflement. "What's the problem?" Carlos asked, sharing his gaze between my phone and me. "Hello!" He barked out, making me flinched and jerked back."Um... not—nothing," I stammered, shoving my phone away. "Hmm," he hummed, ducking his hands inside his pants and looking at me skeptically. I bet he didn't buy my lies. "Anyways, get set before 6 pm; we've got a birthday party to attend, okay?" I leveled my eyes at him; oh, that's nice." I forced a smile.I think I should be on my way now," I made known; he simply nodded his head and went back to his seat while I hurried out of his office. My chest was pounding really hard; as soon as I moved far away from the Russo building, I dialed James's number."Hey! I've got a problem; I think I've got a stalker or something." I spoke through the phone, telling him every single detail from the occurrence of the flower bouquet to the strange message. He promised to keep a tab on it

    *Victoria POV*My weak eyelid slowly lifted, only to see Carlos's head resting on top of my hand, thereby keeping it mobile. I tried to lift my body from the soft mattress, my brow creased in confusion; the last memory I had was when I blanked out when Carlos was choking me. How I got into his room, I don't know."Wa...ter," I called out, my voice muffled— tapping gently at his arm, he released his body from the bed, his groggily grey eyes adjusted to me fully before he realized my request. He stood up and went to get a glass of water for me. He leaned forward and fed it to me."Thank you," I spoke out after he took the cup away from my mouth. "How did we get home?" I questioned. He looked away and then dropped the cup on the bedside."Rob...um...Rob!" He fumbled, rubbing his palms against each other, producing a sharp sound. Is he trying to harm himself?"Hey! It's fine; I understood." I muttered."How is your hand injury?" I pointed at it; he gazed down and gave a nod and still mout

    *Victoria POV*I walked into the prestigious 'The Box' club and went straight to the receptionist. "Good evening," I greeted and presented the membership card given to me to her and also displayed the code sent to me by Carlos. "Welcome, ma'am, you can go." I smiled and took back the card, kept it back inside my purse, and resumed my steps. The atmosphere was bustling with music, cheers of people dancing on the dancefloor, and the clicking sound of glasses. I found my way into the VIP, where Carlos was seated with his goons, sipping from his wine glass. His expression was stoic and unfazed, and the sunglasses on his face made him look more dreadful.The goons parted for me to walk through. "Good evening, sir," I greeted before taking a seat closer to his. He nods his head, not averting his eyes from the striptease happening on stage. I smacked my teeth with my tongue out of annoyance. Must he be so arrogant all the time?"I want to go and have a dance if you don't mind," I spoke out,
