-I am tired.Tired of continuously thinking about what hell is going to happen. It's been a couple of days and nothing actually has happened.According to the threat I have upon my head, my life should be coming down to my knees anytime now. Everything I have built in this country will go to the gutter.I'm not afraid to die if that's what you are thinking. I grew up a depressed teenager so imagining death is like cleaning my room which I do once a week.The consequences of death don't scare me anymore but the fact that it will rob me of my future does. I just feel tired I don't what to do.Brandon left his resignation letter yesterday.Mr.Salavtore is nowhere to be found."Ayushi?"I took my head out of the negative thoughts to see Marisa standing in front of me. What is she doing here? I gave her the month of because of her wedding. And she is still here."Why are you still here?""I want you to come with me."I pressed my lips together," Why?""We are going shopping for my wedding, you are my maid of honor you are coming I don't know," she shrugs.I noticed that she isn't in her usual formal attire instead she is wearing a black tank top with denim shorts."Let me guess you already filled for my half-day?"She winks at me and I got my answer."Okay, but we are taking my car," I stressed."You can but Eden is coming to pick us up. My mother is also with him."What is this group shopping? God. I can't say no now can I?"Until your fiancee comes, why don't you tell me why are you guys getting married so early?"Did I tell you she is getting married this week?I don't mean to intrude but if she sees me as a sister I think I can ask. Also, I need to divert my mind to something, anything else.Her cheeks turned red and she looked at me like she never expected me to ask her that."What?" I asked to continue doing the work on my computer."Nothing, we just love each other so much. We've been together for almost 4 years already. We don't want to wait for anymore. ""4 years? And I never heard about him. We have been working for me for almost 2 years and never mentioned him. ""We are keeping things private. Until one day he decided he wanted to tell the world. "Don't come at me but that sounds childish. She is just 23 and is getting married because a boy wants to claim her.That's what true love us perhaps. What should I know?A little later Marisa opened the door and his fiancee came to him, with her mother, and oh God no.What is he doing here?His eyes met mine and he still holds a neutral face. Am I the only one shocked to see him here? I averted my eyes from him to Marisa's mother."oh, figlia," she comes to me for a hug. Aunty calls me daughter she always called my daughter the day told her why I left my family."la mia persona preferita," I say and hugged her.I shake hands with Eden and smiled at him. "Let's go shall we," Marisa instructed and we all nodded our heads. Like she is the boss here.My eyes went to him, what is he doing here? He is typing something on his phone as I observed him for a moment. He is so handsome he has small hairs on his face which means he hasn't shaved in some time."Brother come here?"Holy smokes, so they are brothers. I slept with Marisa's brother in low. I knew he is related but they are brothers. Holy smokes.I blame that night on the American in me. The Italian or the Indian would have never let me sleep with some stranger.After the decision, Eden talked to Marisa and she came up to me."You go with his brother. I and mum and Eden will be in his car," she told me pointing towards Eden's car.From the corner of my eye, I can see Nicolas talking to Eden. What can he possibly be talking to him about? Is he telling that the maid of honor in his wedding sleeps around?I wish he isn't one of those men who objectify women in these things.But you can never be sure. "Okay," I replied to Marisa. I can talk to him about this if we share the same car."Kay. You follow our car.""Seems like we are left together, again." A voice came from behind me, sexy enough to make my knees go weak.He had this effect on me. I don't get it."It sure does."As soon as we both entered my car. I locked the car and turned to face him."Listen, dude, I want you to promise me that you won't tell them anything," I requested with the sweetest tone possible."Dude?""I mean Nicolas." I glanced at him gathering all my strength and with the puppy eye, "please."His eyes met mine he ignored my request and turned to stare at the road with a small smirk on his face. That wasn't funny."I remember you saying that when you were under me."Oh, he did not.I can feel my face turning red, how can someone say things like that in public? Well, we are not exactly in public but whatever. "You didn't just say that," I uttered.The smirk on his face just grew bigger, " Eyes on the road Sugar. I don't want to die because some girl doesn't know how to drive."Excuse the fuck me. And sugar?"Okay, I didn't know who the fuck you think you are. But I am a great driver," I half-shouted at him. I just want him to promise me that he won't tell Marissa I slept with his brother-in-law. But this asshole."And you have a dirty mouth on you."What the hell is this guy's problem. I didn't reply to him after this, I don't want to.A lot of time passed and when we are near to reaching the store he finally spoke."How old are you?"How what the fuck. "Okay, I get it you don't interact a lot with people, Alphano but these are etiquettes you don't ask a lady her age."I get out of my car as soon as I said those words and no I didn't bang the door on him. It's my car.Nick's povAlphano? She didn't just call me that. Something about this girl amuse me, she has a dirty mouth on her. And then the way she talks to me.That just because she doesn't know who you are my conscience mocks me.Whatever It will be fun teaching her some real- etiquette she said? Etiquette.I followed everyone inside, I observed how she walked. She walked like she owned this goddamn store. The confidence this tiny girl has in her amazes me.A lot of other girls in the store are more physically attractive than her but she doesn't seem bothered at all."Brother? Come here," Eden called me to come and sit with him. "What are we doing here again?" I asked him, annoyed that Ayushi is not even looking at me.Fuck her. I already did that. And I think I want to do it again."I already got us a stylist so we just have to choose whichever you like. And let the ladies decide the colors of flowers and stuff. "His stylist brought suits for both of us and all of them are complete shit. "No chance in hell I'm even trying any of them.""They are not so bad, old man. " I glare at him."Okay, you sit here and tell me which one you like on me. In the meantime Stella, fetch some wine for my brother here," Eden said.I looked around and found Ayushi looking somewhere intensely. She has a dress in her hand, a silver one. I made my way towards her, curious where she is looking.I found her looking at an expensive grey Brioni suit. I stood behind her, a little too close for her to feel my presence."Silver is not your color," I have no idea why have I advised her that."Mhm, why can't bridesmaids wear suits?" What type of a question is that. This is what she is thinking gawking at that suit like she can swallow it whole. Does she swallow though?"You want to wear this suit? At my brother's wedding?" I have a little idea of how women look in a suit but to see her in a suit. That should be interesting."I want to but it isn't my size. Also, I don't want to spoil their big day." Is it weird that I like the way she talks? I have seen met many confident women but one with an attitude like hers.I signaled the woman to come near us, "Pack this suit," I instructed her. I wanted to see how she will react to this I wanted to see her face. And as expected my little trick made her face me."You didn't."I almost laughed at her. "Oh, I did.""There is something wrong in your brains Alphano," she said trying to walk away from me again.I grab her hand and pulled her towards me again. Crashing her into my chest, she is tiny. Her tiny hands came to my chest for support."Stop calling me Alphano," I said, annoyed. She rolled her eyes at me and then she did the most unexpected thing. She stomps her heels in my foot making me throw her away. This bitch.Everyone in the store saw us, she picked herself up to open her mouth."Never grab women Alphano. Never."She threw the dress, she had in her hand at the woman I told to pack the suit and walked to Marissa. With a smile on her face.My brother comes beside, "Brother please be calm. She is just a girl," just a girl oh she is anything but that. She fucking calls me by my name like that and she fucking plunged her heel in my foot. She has no idea who she is messing with."Don't worry about that. She is nothing I can't handle."Little did he know that she is everything a man can't control."Let me go talk to them. We can go to lunch or you can just leave I'll join you later.""No, I'm coming with you."οΏΌ"What are you doing here?" I ask shocked. You are kidding me. He didn't just follow into the ladies' room.But he doesn't seem fazed at all. With a smirk on his face, he walked without me. "Al--"Before I can shout at him to get lost he trapped me between him and the sink, near enough so I can smell his cologne.God, he is big. He is practically hovering over me.He brings his face to my level looking at me for some time then he circled one of his arms around my waist and pulled me to him. Making me yelp." You just introduced yourself to trouble, Tesoro. You need to learn some manners," he whispered in my ear, biting my earlobe.Don't make a sound. Don't. I felt a little ping in my stomach. This man makes my ovaries go all dancing.I looked at him again trying to analyze his next tactic. I never let any guy treat me like this, but he, not just any guy he is well him. I think my brain cells don't know how to work with him this near me."I-" again before I can say anything he crashed his lips on mine.The impact was so hard I almost feel but thank God he has his hand around me keeping me in place.Our tongues danced in complete sync fighting for dominance. Did I just forget how good he feels, his lips, his hands on me, him on me. Hehe.I smiled in the kiss and kissed him hard again.Forgetting that my life is practically in danger."You are coming with me."ππππππ ππ π πππ πππ-I never knew that a person can get you all losing control. He gets me high. the kinda high I didn't even know existed. I had done pretty shady things in my life, met a lot of bad guys. I knew Nicolas is bad news the minute our eyes met. But his eyes damn his eyes.He pulled me in another kiss intentionally biting my lips. Is this punishment? because god I like this. He bit my lower lip again, and his other hand traveled down my back to my butt. He gave it a tight squeeze making me yelp. "I said you are coming with me.I closed my eyes debating the situation in my brain. Will Marisa ask me why I left? Most of all why am I going with him? can't blame me for wanting someone as hot as him.But why does he want to do things with me again? I am not even 1 percent as pretty as the women around here. And all the insecurities fired back at me. Is he doing this out of ego? This could be the only reason for this. I shrug. "I'm not apologizing. If that is w
ππππ ππ ππππ-Tup I opened the bottle of vodka I was saving for someday special.My definition of special is a mystery to me too. I never thought about what kind of special day I will open it, maybe my birthday or perhaps my wedding.Never in a million years, I could've imagined that I will open it to celebrate my last days. When I came home a message popped up on my phone it was from Brandon, it read. I think they are following me. Who are they nobody knows, he left Italy the next day boss told us about that drive. Now anyone is missing. I don't know where Brandon is he is not answering my texts, no one has heard anything from Mr. Salvatore. Nothing. I just hope that they didn't find him so soon. I don't want to leave this place before the wedding. I can't I made a promise. But I don't want to die either. I took another sip from vodka the spicy liquid burning my tongue with exquisite delicacy. I signed and decided to decide for myself. I opened my laptop to buy myse
πππππ ππ π ππππππ-The woman comes out of the shower naked, a towel wrapped tightly around her skeletal body. She's so thin, you can see her hip bones sticking out through the thick fabric.I don't like what I am seeing. Yeah, this is some other man's fantasy. But then what is mine? Mine. like someone can ever love a monster like me. My thoughts drifted back to the night I spend with her, it's been 4 days since I last saw her. I didn't talk to her after that night, why would I. I like my women feisty, strong, and intelligent. She looked vulnerable that night, weak. I don't want to continue anything with her, not when I know how hopeless she is. But there is something that doesn't fit. Something is setting me off, like why her? Out of so many tourists in my country why her. The bed on my side dip, "Would you like anything else Nico?" She asked resting her hand on my thighs. I looked at her again, all night the only thing I was physically able to look at was her face.
ππππππππ ππππππππ ππ ππππππππππππ πππππππ-I gulped down the whole bottle of water trying to calm my neurotic breathing. I have my bags packed in, my passport is in my clutch. I'm ready to leave, again. But what choice else do I have, I can rather leave or they find me and do god knows what with me. I never had second thoughts before, ever but this time is it's a little different. Maybe because I love Italy very much. I hate leaving these people behind Marissa, her mother and maybe Nick. what would they think of me? Will they worry? I sighed, no Nick is no one for me we barely even know each other. Will he forget me if I leave today. I scoffed at my own thoughts, of course, he will, I am just some girl he slept with. Foolish little girl, my father's voice taunted me making my skin crawl. I hate when I get flashbacks from him, I hate that his words still echo around my brain as they used to when I was a kid. But foolish indeed I was stupid t
TRUTH WE DIDN'T SAY OUT LOUD Since it's been a while since I last updated, here is a little preview of what happened last time.xoxo The man quickly grabbed Ayushi's hand pushing them behind her back. "What the fuck?" She yelled. "Ace what the hell do you think you are doing?" She struggled to try to break free from the hold. He didn't say anything to her just dropped one of his hands into a pocket to bring out a syringe. She was confused and started about what is happening. before she can say anything he comes around her back and the next thing she feels is a needle harshly injected into her neck. Now she is imprisoned in Nicolas's basement, the same guy that genuinely intrigued her. The same guy she thought she would miss once she go back running in the night. But fate has other plans. And believe it or not, fate is laughing at her face saying, "bitch, you thought?" ___fuck my life, fuck my life, fuck my life.What in hell. Eden and his brother are fucking criminals and nob
DON'T KNOW IF IM GOING TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE _I don't want to say I regret sleeping with this asshole but I have zero clue why I did. Let her not her here? what am I, some rodent? I thought the Mafia has more balls than to rot a girl to death. I've not been this angry for years - the last time didn't end well, and something tells me this too will not end well. "Here," a snarl came from around me. I looked up to see a girl or woman I don't know. I think my eyes lost their powers because everything seems blurry. Someone loosened the contains on my wrist making me fall. Fuck me, this hurts. "Get up!" she half - yelled lightly tapping his foot on my leg. "Touch me again and I'll slit your throat." fuck I don't know where that came from but one thing for certain I'm not in my right mind. I think I blacked out for a while because when my eyes opened again hands of one of his guards or man or whatever were around me, all while the girl was trying to open my mouth.What fucked up kind
HERE BEGINS THE LIES______________my slave I drain half the bourbon in my glass. This may not be the ideal way but this way is more fun, the only thing that is leaving a bitter taste in my mouth is the lie I told her. I told her if she meets my demands I'll consider negotiating a deal for her. I told her the Americans will come for her because they will. but making a deal for her? that part is not true, no one, least of all a girl is worth that much. She will have to tell me where the drive is and then she has to die. Her fate is sealed and there is nothing anyone can do about it. The only thing I'm willing to do is to let her go alive from here but that is her choice. It can only happen if she tells me where that drive is. which she won't. I adjusted my slacks. What in God's name is wrong with? I'm already hard, imagining her taut, little body naked and riding my cock. Those innocent lips around my dick. My fingers in her cunt and ass. "Fuck." She's consuming every corner of
HOUSE MATE? __________"You have the girl? What were you thinking telling Dante you will handle this?" uncle shouted without hiding his disappointment in me. I shrugged leaning back in my chair relaxing my shoulder which is still hurt."Somebody tried to steal our shipments last night, almost succeed, I was lucky the bullet barely touched me and this is what you are here for?" my voice came out more annoyed rather than angry. He opened his mouth and closed it soon enough at the loss of his words. I clasped my hands bringing them closer to my face, "What, nothing to say now? admit it you were too busy following Dante like a puppy that you don't even know what happened." "Even you know it's bullshit I'm doing what's best for business," he says with a hard face ignoring eye contact. I felt a little bad seeing his pained expression, I know my uncle will never knowingly ignore anything like this but he needs to open his eyes. Dante is good but our relations with the underboss and oth
I've never thought I'll live to see this day," I admitted looking at myself in the mirror. Almost 6 months pregnant in a wedding dress, not bad. we have come a long way.Marissa puts a hand on my shoulder comforting me. "I'm so happy for you Boss. "I chuckled through my emotions. "I think we are officially past the formals. You are practically my sister-in-law now, call me Ayushi."The baby sleeping on Marissa's shoulder snorts, making us both laugh. "She is the cutest," I complimented.She nodes patting her back gently, "She sure is."I remember the day she was born, it was raining and I was precisely 4 months pregnant back then. "The weather is very harsh, how about you stay home and wait for her and the baby to come home," Nicolas said getting ready to leave for the hospital."Like hell I am, I'm going Nicolas and that is final."He rolled his eyes at me probably blaming my pregnancy hormones. "Think about the baby.""Oh, common nothing will happen to the baby. I'm always extra c
Chapter - 40 | it's my party and I cry if I want to________I looked around my office taking in the stillness of this place. This is new because this place has never felt this empty. I remember my heart was in my throat when the doctor was checking Ayushi. All I could think about was how much I wanted her to live, I wanted her alive, I wanted her with me. That I got, actually not only that but also the baby. our baby. I wonder when did she get pregnant. was it the night after the movie? or the night I made love to her? I think this will always be a mystery. A smile cropped on my face at the thought of the things I'd planned for her. I'm going to make her the happiest woman in the world. and that is a promise. I walked out of my office with a smile on my face, my life will never be empty it will always be full of her, our child, and all the more I'm going to give her. The eyes feel on her petite frame standing in front of the mirror in a black dress. I choose this dress for her
Chapter - 39| is this goodbye?_____"Why? Did they all leave? I ask him as soon as I woke up. "They will be back soon. I invited them all for dinner this weekend to announce the baby." I nodded my head dreading their reaction. Nicolas's mother hates me, she thinks I trapped him with me. "Where is Myra?""Downstairs with Dorian." I visibly cringed listening to his name. "What is he still doing here?" I half yelled expected for him to fight back but instead, he just sighed. "He is taking her with him."Over my dead body is that ever happening. "Myra," I yelled getting up from the bed. "Fuck, Ayushi. Slow down at least," he says but this time he doesn't stop me. I went straight to the guest room, where Myra was staying last just to find him in there. "Get away from her!"I pushed her back from him to me hardly. "Don't worry, Myra I will talk to Nicolas he will protect you. We will protect Nate.""Ayushi," Myra says draping her hands around me and hugging me. "What Happened?" This
Chapter - 38 | bad parenting is an underrated crime.________"Where are Myra and Nate?""They are safe.""Good, and what the thing you were saying that's incorrect sir. I'm not pregnant," I said awkwardly smiling around the crowd.He looks me dead in the eyes and goes. "You are pregnant."when I was a child I always used to wonder what I will be when I grow up, will I be strong like the women on the cover of magazines? will I be elegant like the 8th grade English teacher? will I ever love someone as much as I loved my grandma?all these questions and still somewhat fearful that will I be powerless like my mother? what if I end up like her?anyone can be a parent but not everyone deserves to be one, is a line worth billions.but do I deserve to be a parent? I already love this child more than anything in the whole world and yet I can't have it.I pinched my eyes close fearing that this is true. what have I done? what have I done? He doesn't want this baby, he will never accept it. and
CHAPTER - 37 | only love and death changes all things______two weeks later my body feels like a ticking bomb. there's a voice in my head that it's stupid to look for her. she never wanted to stay here in the first place. But that's only the rational part of me, and personally im anything but rational. Ace barged into my office, "Sir, we found something." "what?" I asked just then my phone ringed. "Dorian," I hissed as I saw his name flashing on my phone. I'll make it when all of this is over, I never see or hear from him again. "we have a clue, where they could be."I didn't waste any time picking up the phone, "bring your men, Costello we are going hunting." __ "wait, I have to tell you something," Dorian says as he comes out of our cars. The information Dorian gave was correct, they are in the city disguising among the people. a smile crept on my face, tonight you will sleep in my bed, sugar. "what? you dont want the best friend anymore?"I knew I kicked a nerve when he cle
Chapter - 36 | agony__________Dorian's pov for the past 5 years, there is a noose around my neck,So tight,Almost determined to break my neck. I've been living on the edge for the past almost half a decade. For a man born in blood, violence is necessary.I've lived and I've killed all because of her.I still get nightmares from the night I killed her, or at least I thought I killed her.I mourned her death, relieved her memory, and then I buried her name.She betrayed me, again.I threw the tumbler forward, shattering the tv screen. My veins feel like they are on fire and my skin feels like it's burning.Today when I saw Ayushi in Nicolas's house, I was shocked. She was supposed to be dead so does her friend.But seeing her alive standing in front of me wrapped in his arms, one thing is clear. Myra is alive.I killed her, she refused to die. It's almost amusing how many times these girls have played me.She didn't give me anything but I will find out where she is.And this time
Chapter - 35 | she a runner__________I entered my room to find Myra standing by the window looking out. I asked Nate how he doing before approaching her."So?" She asks ruffling a hand down her dress."What happened?"I sucked in a breath. Fuck even I don't know what just happened. I saw Dorian after almost what 4 years, and his first instinct was to kill me.Classic motherfucker. There was a time I thought we were friends I really liked him and Myra together. They were like the power couple you see in old spy movies, but like a movie, the thing between them didn't last long."He was shocked to see me alive before he pointed his gun at me."Myra snorted. She looked at Nate this time staring at his head. She leans in closer so only I can listen."You think we can kill him this time." I made a displeased look. She furrowed her eyebrows, "what? He nearly killed me the last time I saw him."This single memory brings back so many stomach knotting feelings, I can't even begin to express.
Chapter - 34|sins of our past usually comes back to haunt our present____________successfully dodging millions of Myra's questions I somehow made it to the time when he comes back. I felt his presence the moment he stepped into the house. He and I need to talk. a serious fucking talk. "here comes your Romeo," she says gesturing towards him. If Nicolas heard him he didn't react. with his eyes, on me, he says, "come on." I folded my arms over my breasts. "No, I'm busy," I challenged. "I have to talk to you about something," he says his eyes brows. Oh? so you are confused, man? im confused. "doesn't matter, I'm busy."he clenched his jaw looking at Myra for a minute like maybe it's her fault. "fine, get dressed some people are coming over tonight."this is not time for a party, for crying out loud. "what people?""whose drive we have," he says annoyed but collets himself quick. "the American bastard is coming here to get that fucking thing off my chest."God must hate me. he hates
Chapter - 33 | Dad?_________"Bye," I said as Nicolas left for work. It's early in the morning but everything that happened last night didn't help me sleep.Finish the job and get rid of her.His uncle's words are still in my head. This must be the plan all along, right? He was interested in me until he knew my secret and now when he knows so much about me, I'm no use to him.He warmed me up and made me open myself to him. And now he will let me go.Somebody cleared her throat distracting me from my trail of thoughts.Myra stood on top of the stairs with a freshly woken Nate holding her hand. "Good morning."I smiled at their cuteness. "Good morning, come down. Breakfast is ready."Nate let go of her hand. "I'll race you."She shook her head. "No, no running on the stairs."Nate ignored her and came running down the stairs colliding with my legs. "Oho, relax little guy.""Ay, I know you make the best eggs in the world." He holds my hand. "Make them for me, please."Finally, someone w
