I stepped out of the shower, feeling refreshed as water dripped down my face. My mind felt calmer as I felt safer being under Bella's abode.I walked into the room with my lilac towel firmly wrapped around my breast and it ran down to my upper thigh.Bella lay on the bed typing away on her phone when I entered, she pivoted her head away from her phone and towards my direction.I sat on a chair opposite the dressing mirror, taking out my pomade, ready to cream myself.”Has any of those lunatics called"I asked Bella, referring to my family members.Bella shook her head."No one has tried contacting you, not even your psycho of a father"Deep down, I wanted to be left alone with Bella, staying at her place gave me comfort, and even if I was to choose a second option on where to stay, I would still choose staying at Bella's place.I couldn't afford going back to my parents house."NO", that definitely was a no go area for me, and neither was I intending on going back to the devil.What woul
I sat on the couch inside Armani castle facing Dad and Armani, with anger written over my pretty face. I couldn't decipher why I had to go through all this mess.Jenny stepped inside the living room, holding a tray of cookies and cold cola.She looked at me with her pitiful eyes glowing with motherly love as if trying to tell me that she understood what I was passing through. She quickly dropped the tray on the center table and dashed off."I thought you said she wouldn't run away" Armani's cold voice asked looking pissed.His cold voice could Pierce through the walls of the castle. This man was just too absurd that his mere presence gave me goosebumps.I saw my father swallow a lump in his throat.Dad was scared and so was I.Armani who sat with his legs crossed , glared at me for a moment before focusing on Dad."You said your daughter would behave and play her role well"He bit his lower lip and continued."So what happened, Mr Brown" he asked peering into my dad's soul." Am sor
My sobs could Pierce into Bella's ears through the phone.I eyes looked swollen, protruding through its sockets,a visible evidence that I have been crying for a very long time.I had called her to inform her of the latest update, that I was having my cherry popped open, TONIGHT."Babe, I can't believe this is happening to me, am really screwed, that monster is planning on ruining my life”"Babe cheer up, am sure Armani is not gonna do it."Bella said, trying to placate me."You don't know Armani like I do , that guy is a devil. "I said cutting Bella shut."That guy would stop at nothing to see that he ruins me."I said sobbing.Bella sighed deeply over the phone."But how did you know about this?, Did he tell you?""No" I answered hugging my pillow tightly against my chest."Jenny told me""Whose Jenny" Bella asked." Armani's chef, a woman in her mid forties. She told me few hours ago when she came to drop new sets of bed spread"" Do you trust her, she could be lying"Jenny won't lie
"No wonder you were foolish enough to sell your daughter to a total stranger for money"cameMom's voice raised at Dad.Davis sat across Micheal, typing away on his phone meanwhile, Micheal just sat staring unconcerned at Mom and Dad as they exchanged words.My family was just the worst. Nothing seemed to trigger even an ounce of emotion in them.How the f**k would two grown a** men sit comfortably and watch their father literally want to beat up their mother."And you think you are any better than me" came Dad's voice full of pride.Mom casted a long look on Dad.Dad looked horrible. His hair was a complete mess, his breath stinked of alcohol, he looked mentally unstable as the alcohol took effect on his brain."We are both horrible parents, no doubts"Dad said, staggering under the influence of alcohol."Are you sure you are playing your role in this marriage well, because I don't see what you are contributing to this family, your son's are a mess"Mom said and was immediately cut shut
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
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
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
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’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
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 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
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
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
