I quickly pushed open the door that led into saint Louis medical center. I walked over to the hospital receptionist who looked like a lady in her late twenties with a breathtaking smile plastered on her lips and her name Clara printed on her name tag that was firmly pinned to her uniform.I should have arrived earlier than expected to the hospital but I got delayed by Sammy who wouldn't let me out of the house saying he was going against Armani's orders but after much persuasion and plea,he finally agreed but on one condition, that he follows me to the hospital and that I had only thirty minutes to spend there.At first I wasn't okay with the terms and conditions he proposed but after much thought and considering how adamant his stance were, I gave in to it and let him drive me to the hospital.Armani on the other hand wasn't aware of this.Standing in front of this nurse brought me relief that I finally got to leave Armani's house and reunite with Bella even though this wasn't the ri
Armani's POVMy breathing steadied as I laid my eyes on my target Leo, who was aligned perfectly within my sight at the table.“Headshot or heartshot?” Leo teased from his end of the table, with his fingers pointing directly to the side of his head and an evil smirk creased on his face as he stared back at me.He knew that was always my biggest dilemma during my missions as I’d always contemplate my options holding on to my rifles at all times.I waited for a few moments before I sighed and took my eyes off him, staring at the box in front of me accompanied by the sound of the locks of the other boxes of the men around the table as well.“A minute please!” Leo cut in immediately grinning at me with his arms stretched out as he perked up to his feet and now leaning on the table staring at me.“What the fuck are you up to Leo?” I muttered to myself, my fingers slowly rolling into a fist waiting on his next move.“Can I please have a word with the boss,” He said, with a smile creased on
Armani’s POVThere I was, staring at the opened box in front of me, and just when I had my eyes raised, I realized they were all staring back at me.“Fucking hell,” I muttered in my head with my hands rolled into a fist, hating the fact that I was now on the verge of losing.I stared at the partially opened box with a pause, and my teeth clenched trying to figure out what on earth to say and do concerning the fact that I happened to be the one eliminated from a game I was meant to rule.I looked down at Leo to see his eyebrows raised in amusement as he stared back at me.“Anyone?” The host questioned with his arms wrapped against his chest and eyes glued on the other guests around as well.“Do we have a target?” He added.I took in deep breaths and then exhaled, staring at the host contemplating whether or not to ring the bell on my end but was left with no choice but to have it done.“Final Call,” He yelled.And just when he did, I had one hand up and the other tapping on the bell ri
Lila’s POV“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Armani’s voice cut through the throbbing ache in my head as I snapped back to reality, holding onto my reddened cheeks.“I…” I stuttered, but just as I did I felt another hand over my face.“Arghh!” I winced in pain with my face buried into the cold tiles of the club.“Get your filthy ass up right now!” Armani commanded. And without any objections, I sprung up to my feet and I stood in front of him with my eyes lowered to the floor unable to meet his eyes.“Move it,” He yelled, pulling me by the wrist, heading back to his car parked right outside the building.I trembled at the thought of having to hop into the car of a man who’d want me dead In the next couple of hours without any hesitation wishing I could have done something about the whole situation. Unfortunately, I couldn’t.As I followed suit from behind, I thought of ways to escape. Probably runoff, and that way I’d have a better chance of living free from Armani.“Where th
Armani’s POV“It wouldn't look too good for me to come out covered in your blood, now would it be darling?” I asked, with a smirk plastered on my face as I tightened my grip around her wrist.“Armani!” The same voice from earlier called out violently from behind me as I heard hurried footsteps coming from behind as well.I clenched my jaw as I let go of her, glaring at Lila in front of me, watching another figure approach us from the dark. For some reason, I could tell whoever it was happened to be someone familiar from the sound of their voice in the dark.“You have to chill out man!” The familiar voice scowled coming into the light, and just when he did I realized who it was standing right in front of me.Leo!!!…“What do you want?” I asked, my voice coming across colder than intended. Leo quickly had his eyes on her behind me, avoiding my menacing gaze and then he walked past me as he had her pulled back up to her feet dragging her onto the car.Caring motherfucking Leo.I loathed
I stare blankly at my window as the music lyrics pierce right through me.Emptiness is the only feeling inside of me.Home feels like a prison, one which you want to break through so bad.I can hear mom screaming from downstairs, followed by cries and pleas. She is probably begging dad for some sort of thing we both know he would not do.I have the strangest family ever.We feel no sense of responsibility whatsoever towards one another. We share no bond.The only time we ever sit together is for breakfast every morning and that is because it is an order from father, none of us dares to go against it.It is time for breakfast already, and I find myself feeling reluctant of joining my so-called family.There is no love; not like you can give what you do not have.We are just a result of our parent's past mistakes, which they despise.My father is the worst. He would do anything to get his hands on what he wanted, even if it means sacrificing any of us.His greed is the size of his ego,
Not as bad as he thought?What is that supposed to mean?I looked over at my father, who have a proud smile on his face.“Of course not, he smiled.”“ Come over here” the young man commanded.I look at my father once again, and he gave me a tight smile.I do not know who this man is, but he looks scary. He has a cold aura which screams run for your life!!! But I dare not move an inch if I want to avoid facing my father's wrath.I glance over at the man once again to study his appearance.He has hazel eyes, the proper masculine physique, a perfect face cut, with an impressive height of 6'2.I don't know who he is, but I am certain he is not good for me.“Is she not aware of the reason she is here?” He asked coldly.“ Of course, she is.”“If so, I would like to ramp up the deal tonight. I will have the money sent into your account, and she follows me home, right away.”“Deal?What deal? I finally voiced out.”Father looked at me like he wants to murder me.“What is going on?What deal a
Waking up in the morning has never been this difficult. Back at home, even though there is no peace whatsoever, there is still freedom.I feel trapped in here, and I can't even find myself walking down the stairs as the shame of yesterday is still clear in my mind. I slept in the ridiculous dress that my father made me wear yesterday, as I was not given heed to at least pack a few things.I reach out for my purse, finally checking if there is a certain message on my phone that states, "hey girl, come back home, it was all a prank.” But there is nothing of such.Not even a single text message from my family.It was at this point I knew I have no glimpse of hope.I swallow my pride and walk down the stairs, hoping to find Jenny around the corner so that I can borrow her cloth and go and pack my luggage if I am permitted to do so.Unfortunately, I do not know my way around here. I tried to locate the kitchen, only to end up in the garden.What have I gotten myself into?I was on the verg

I walked down stairs and headed for the garden. I needed to receive fresh breeze from mother nature herself. Staying indoors all day was quite tiring.I sighted Jenny at the hallway that connected the kitchen and the dinning, whispering in low tone to someone over the phone“You can't come over, without telling Mr Armani.”I heard ma'am Jenny chid over the phone.I stopped in my tracks to eavesdrop on her conversation.“I said you can't come over" ma'am Jenny's voice said coming out louder than she expected.There was a momentary silence.“Darling,am fine, there's no need coming to check on me”Jenny added.“No,no," Jenny said slightly shouting.Who could it be that was giving Jenny a rough time?, can't the person let her be?. I thought and shrugged.“Anyways it's non of my business" l thought almost aloud.I continued in my tracks as I took a left turn that brought me right in front of a large wooden door with artistic design.I turned the door knob and it creaked making a very loud no
Armani walked into the bar and headed for the counter. He had just received a call from Leo that they should meet up at the bar to discuss business proposals.Armani walked over to the counter and sat down. A bartender came and stood behind the counter."Three shots of whiskey, please" Armani requested politely.The bartender nodded and went to fetch the whiskeys.Armani looked at his watch and sighed."Leo never keeps to time" Armani mumbled.The bartender returned with the three shots of whiskey and gently dropped it on the table and went to attend to a customer that just came in.The buzz in the bar became livelier when two stripteasers mounted the stage. They wore dazzling red bikinis and looked seducingly hot.One of them had a blonde hair and the other had a shiny Auburn hair. They both looked like underaged teenagers, dancing against long poles.Armani licked his lower lip lustfully as he stared undistracted at them.Leo walked into the bar and sighted Armani from where he stoo
Armani and Charlotte walked into a boutique store, while giving each other a hot, passionate kiss.Armani had his hand firmly wrapped around Charlotte's thin waist.Their kiss lasted for about thirty seconds and was cut short when reached the section where panties are sold."I thought you said no one else is supposed to be your number one apart from me" Charlotte asked Armani while picking up an emerald green underpant."Of course you are the only one""Then why is Lila in the picture"Armani kept quiet for some time before speaking up."An investment for the meantime, baby" Armani said, trying to kiss Charlotte who declined by pushing her mouth away."And don't forget that our engagement party is just three weeks away from today and my parents already expect us to start making babies. And you know that it's not going to be possible if Lila is around the house".Armani sighed."I know about our engagement party that's coming up but I couldn't let her father owe me such amount of money
I woke up from the couch to the rays of the morning sun that penetrated into the room.My mind drifted to the incident that happened last night.It was so grossy watching them make love.I had nearly puked over four times yesterday as I watched them.And the way Charlotte was moaning over the place."Ahh"I screamed trying to get the thought off my mind.I looked up to the bed to check if they were still asleep but no one was there."Where did they go to". I thought.One thing I was happy about was that my cherry wasn't popped open last night. At least my virginity is still very much intact.I made a mental note to call Bella once I was done taking a shower.I heard a knock on the door.I quickly reparked my hair to a rough bun before inviting who so ever it was in.A strange face walked in, making me frown.A young handsome looking man walked in with obvious charisma. A small smile on his finely shaped lips.Truth be told, he looked ten times more handsome than Armani. His ocean blue e
