ANTONIO'S POVSuspicious.I just seem so sure of it. The call wasn't a genuine one.Either I am being put to the test or Don is playing a trick on me.As a sharp one, I didn't bother questioning myself for too long.“Miranda, I have to be somewhere. I will be back by evening,” I said as I put on my shirt.“And your meal? What would happen to it? You need to take something before you leave,” she said in a caring tone.The aroma of the food was already tempting but this is Don we are talking about.Who knows? He might already be on his way to the mansion. Now that he is doing things to spite me, I presume.I still don't want to believe that call was made ordinarily by Vance.“It can't be!” I snapped.Like a sudden reaction, I grabbed my car keys nearby and headed to the Ferrari parked outside the V-lodge, a name I gave my house during my time of purchasing it from another private individual.I was off to the mansion when a thought captured my attention. “What if that was actually Don Vi
DON VITO“Sir, he already got back to us,” those words rang aloud in my ears. If Antonio wasn't there that minute, I would have hit my head angrily and pulled out a gun on the stupid guard.Antonio is a wise son I wish I had.He was smart enough to decipher the least possible code in the room in a very short time; that was how clever he was.“It's fine. I would be there shortly,” I said hastily so as to dismiss the guard.“Is something in operation that I don't know of, Don?” Antonio asked.There goes it. The very question I would have expressly avoided if not for that foolish guard. “Nothing, son. Just some calls I couldn't make before I came out here,” I answered and puffed my cigar.Clearing all doubt, I walked towards Antonio, “You seem off.”He took a step back and cleared his throat.“Do we have a pending operation, Boss?” He said, supposedly dodging the question.“Yes, we do. There is a new product coming in. I want you to be there to get it. I don't want to send the boys.”He
MIRANDA"Please don't go. What if he catches you?" Karen shivered, holding my hands."I won't let him see me. Just don't lose hope, sis. I'm going to get help and come back for you. Just stay safe, please," I promised, encouraging my kid sister.It's been fourteen years since we lost our home and our parents to that monster called Don Vito.A deadly, dangerous man. He wiped our family and took Karen and me as his hostage.For fourteen years he has been maltreating my sister and me, threatening to end us both if we go against him.This life of torment and suffering, I can no longer take it anymore. So, I came up with a plan to escape.I planned on taking Karen along, but she's just too scared to move. She's afraid of Don Vito spotting and harming us both.I can understand her fear. The poor girl has been in trauma for years. The pains, torments, abuse..."Just stay here. I promise to bring back help. Together we'll leave this city and head to a better place, okay?""Okay," Karen nodded
MIRANDAWhat? Be his tool of pleasure?His eyes remained on me, waiting for my response to his condition.I'm trying to save my sister and me from one monster, and he is planning on making me his tool of pleasure."No, I can't accept that, " I refused Antonio.He stared at me with his right brow levitating at my answer.But that got me thinking."If I turn him down, how will I save my sister? He's the only one I can ask for help. He's ready to help if I please him, so..." I reasoned, looking back at Antonio.I guess he knows what is going on in my head because I've been quiet after my first answer.Having no choice, I agreed to his condition."This is about my sister's life. She's very important to me. I'm ready to do anything to save her from Don Vito. So, you have yourself a deal," I accepted.His eyes shone with delight as he carefully took his hands off me, letting me go.He said nothing but sat properly against the wheels.I lifted myself off the armrest, wondering how we'd execu
MIRANDA"Don't make a sound," Antonio warned, carefully taking me away from there.But I didn't want to go.Karen.My sister was taken away, dragged like some kind of animal killed for fun.I cried in Antonio's hold, burying myself in his chest."What happened?" I cried, asking him."The gunshot..." I lifted my wet eyes to Antonio, who stared down at me."The gunshot that came in... It was Karen, wasn't it? He shot her, didn't he? " I questioned, demanding for an answer.Antonio sighed, saying, " Let's leave this place. You don't want Don Vito seeing you here. If he does, he won't hesitate to kill you as well.""Then he should!" I sparked, ready to accept my fate.Antonio's eyes shone at my word."What's the point of living anyway? My sister is gone. He took my sister away from me. I don't want to live anymore."Hurt, I pulled myself from Antonio, ready to accept my fate. But he wouldn't budge.He dragged me back, holding me roughly by the arm."Pull yourself together!" He raised his
MIRANDA"Ah! " I moaned.My hands pressed the wall and my back against Antonio.One month, after I agreed to stay with Antonio Dante, this ruthless billionaire, succeeded in getting in between my legs.I should have seen it since the day he suggested that deal to make me his tool of pleasure.It's clear that he has been looking for ways to get me to stay with him, and he succeeded.He sweet-talked me into hiding in his place away from Don Vito, just so he could have fun with me as he wanted.But he didn't lie about shielding me from that monster. He played his part well by keeping me safe in his home."Argh!" I moaned, feeling his hands gripping me right on the chest, as he increased his pace, thrusting faster into me.I felt my body moving according to his rhythm. The way he moves and sways his body is just so pleasing.Yes, I wasn't glad to see that his main reason for keeping me in his home was for pleasure, but I can't deny the fact that he makes me feel good.It won't be the firs
MIRANDA As the days went by, my life with Antonio grew more and more disturbing, to the point of filling me with nothing but boredom in his absence. But that void was soon filled by Xander, Antonio's right-hand man, and guard. Whenever Antonio was absent, Xander, who was left to watch over me, had a way of putting a smile on my face. You can say he's more of like a clown. I got to know the kind of person Xander was when Antonio scolded me one morning for no reason entirely. He yelled at me to the point of depression. When he left for work, I sat all alone at the dining table, thinking about my life and my future as Antonio's tool. That's when the heavens sent Xander my way. He sat with me and planted a smile on my face. "What's the difference between me and Mr. Dante? " He had asked one time while I was eating. "Between you and your boss? " I asked, lifting my brow at him. "Yep, what's the difference?" He asked, peeling an orange with a knife. "Hmm, well you are a guard and
MIRANDA“Ah, shit!”I banged my forehead hard with my right hand as I thought about it thoroughly.I am pregnant?How do I handle this?I am nothing but a sex toy to Antonio. How do I approach him with this news? “Am I supposed to? I wish someone could come to my aidShould I tell Antonio I am pregnant for him?No. I can’t.He would order his men to kill me or do so himself. He could even send me away.Even if he decides to spare my life, I can’t allow my unborn child into this wicked world of violence and crime.I am powerless around him. If he could use me as he wishes, what more would he do to his own child who he might want to make his successor?I won’t allow it. I have to make sure Antonio doesn’t know about it.Perhaps it’s a wrong result. “Let me check again,” I whispered as I unwrapped a new pregnancy test strip. The same thing.Just while I was busy trying to dispose of the strip, I heard a creaking sound at the door.“Who could that be?”It can’t be Antonio. He doesn’t c
