[Anastasia's point of view]Sienna. The name was reverberating in my head over and over again like an unsteady record.Enzo has a fiancee and he has never for once mentioned it or had anyone ever mention it. As the name coil in my head, I felt like a clown. “You can not tell anyone I told you about, no one is supposed to know.” Rue's warning voice also halo in my head and I didn't realize I was crying until a sob split out of me.“Is there something you want to tell me, doll?”I nearly recoiled at Enzo’s voice. I slowly lifted my head, finding Enzo sitting on the sofa, looking through papers scattered all over the table. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt that was dragged up to his elbows and in a pair of matching grey pants. And laid on the bridge of his nose was a pair of reading glasses.He looked hot, and I didn't know why I was concentrating on that when my heart felt like it was going to tear out of my heart. It was hurting so much.Instead of answering, I laid my head back and
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW) I knew this was a bad idea the moment I followed Enzo into the dining area for dinner. From what I was told, none of the family members were around and when Enzo and I arrived, there was no one there. As much as it felt uncomfortable having dinner at the family dining table, Enzo didn't seem to care and it didn't look like he was ready to return to his room and I was struck with him. It was all good and I didn't have trouble swallowing down my food till Mrs Miranda sauntered into the space. She paused for a second as her gaze landed on me. I nearly stood up to acknowledge her but Enzo's hand landed on my thigh. "I didn't realize we allowed whores on the dining table now." Her eyes glared as she took a seat on the opposite side of the table, keeping a firm gaze on me. My breath hitched at her words. "What's going on?" It was Sandrino Mezzesalma's voice. My eyes widened as the Boss went over to his seat at the edge of the table and following behind
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)They say eavesdropping on a private conversation was wrong but I didn't think it was wrong when your name was the subject.Arriving at the door of my shared room with Khione and Rue, I abruptly halted with my hand reaching for the doorknob as Khione's audible and indignant voice came from the other side. "I was only gone for a few days and you decided to pull shit with Anastasia. What the fuck were you scheming this time huh?!"The sound of my name made me listen closely to the point I was almost pressing my ear to the door."Why do you always think I'm always cooking something up?" Rue sounded serene."Because you are!" Khione exclaimed. "I know you so well and I know when you are planning shit!"Rue tsked. "Look, I only invited her out because you were not around and I needed the company. Paul was interested and I see why he couldn't have her.""You of all people know what happens when rules are broken and you know better than anyone how much Enzo hates
(Anastasia's Point of View) Recalling Enzo's words, I decided to wait but the longer I waited, the more I felt drowsy, and soon, tiredness washed over me and I dozed off. I didn't know how long I slept till I heard the sound of the door shutting and my eyes opened, my blurry gaze was able to make out the form of Enzo walking into the room before it slowly cleared. "Enzo." I slowly sat upright, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. "You're back." I continued. Perhaps it was because I was sleepy or because I was craving his attention or just a whiny bitch as I got off the bed and wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head on his chest. "You were gone for so long." I pouted, tightening my arms and basking in his warmth and cologne. "I'm starving, doll." I think this was the first time Enzo was talking about being starving. And it didn't take long before we arrived at the kitchen. It was past midnight, so everyone in the mansion was asleep. I opened the fridge, looking through
[Enzo’s Point of View] It was 1 a.m. and it was that time of year again. That time of the year that has always been a constant reminder of the past I didn't know if I wanted to forget or not. Staring up at the ceiling without blinking felt like watching a replay of my life as memory after memory flashed before my eyes, making my chest clench and ache, and instead of melting, I could feel my heart freezing over as I remembered the pain in her eyes as she tried to hide the fact that she was hurting. Despite the bruises on her body, she always had a smile on her face. I nearly thought she was okay because of how well she could conceal her pain. Finally looking away from the colorless ceiling, I rolled out of bed at 2 p.m. letting my feet touch the ground as I walked over to the couch, picking up the sweatshirt and slipping it over my head. “Enzo?” I paused for a moment at hearing the endearing voice before turning to see Anatasia sitting up in bed and innocently blinking at me wh
[Anastasia's Point of View]Being with Enzo sparked a fire in me that I couldn't put out and ignited a boldness in me that I wasn't sure existed before, but I liked it, I like that new side of me. I awoke at seven in the morning to the sound of the shower running. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, where I saw Enzo standing beneath the shower with the water freely cascading down his body. The sight made me gulp and licked my lips as I just stood there staring and wondering what shower sex would be like because I was coaxed.He was hot with the tattoos on his back and arm, and his abs were eye-catching.As I stepped out of my nightgown, naked, and into the shower beside him, I decided to catch him off guard. He tensed up automatically as soon as he felt my presence and my hands landed on his back, before wiping his head to look at me. “Anatasia!” he sounded shocked and that gave me great satisfaction knowing I caught him off guard for the first time.I kept our eyes locked
[Khione’s Point of View]“W-hat type of work do you do?”The question reverberated in my head, and it was in Anastasia's voice because she was the first to ask it. I remember how it struck me when I realized I couldn't explain it.Tonight, I decided to go all black with a sexy body suit and stockings, I didn't bother with heels as I sat on the bed, waiting for my first client of the night; and it didn't take long before the door was opening and he was trudging in as if he had the world at the palm of his hands.He smirked and started taking off his upper jacket as he made his way over to the couch in the corner of the room, which had a small table with a few bottles of wine on it and a mini-stage with a pole in front. My face naturally broke into a seductive smile.He started by already pouring himself a glass of wine, "They said you were the best around, and I've been eager to find out your real capabilities.” He smirked at me once more.I had grown accustomed to cocky clients. They
[Khione’s Point Of View][FLASHBACK]"Are you certain this is a good idea?"I recall inquiring of Rue before I was about making the biggest error of my life.She walked up to me and put her hand on my shoulder with a determined look on her face. "Yes, I'm sure, I promise that Giovanni won't learn about this,"I agreed, believing what she said. It was around 6 p.m. when I entered Galileo's room. He smirked as he sat on the bed, his elbow resting on his knees, lustfully scanning his eyes over me. I took a deep breath and started slipping out of my gown.I wish I didn't. I wish I could go back in time and realize what a fool I was when I took off my dress and stood in front of him in my bra and underwear, allowing him to drink the entirety of me—something only Givonni was permitted to do. I didn't bother to look at him; instead, I focused on the ground while feeling so ashamed of myself.“If I do this, you promise to pay my sister’s hospital bills?” I spoke without looking up at him, a
