“Are you going to kill us?” the words came out like a whisper, but I wanted to ask him if he was willing to kill not just my family or me but“I'm pregnant Luciano… I'm carrying your child”the words left my chattering teeth as silence fell between us. Everything around was silent like the serene waters of the sea and only the heavy wind blowing across the trees as the sounds intensified.“Y…you are lying…you are lying, you know that!” Luciano said, shaking his head as he gripped the back of my neck tightly and pulled me to him. He was hurting me so much that tears flowed down my face non-stop.“I'm carrying your child,” I said, despite how much I knew he wasn't going to listen. He was furious as he shook my body with so much strength as he gripped me by the shoulders.“You mean nothing to me!” he made a low growl angrily. His eyes shone with rage as his breathing intensified. His grip on my shoulders tightened as his nails dug deep into my flesh. Luciano was a total monster, capable
The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers.The roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun. The sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky. The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its warm light. Specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window."Congratulations sir...you did well... Everyone loves you"praises came Luciano's way as he addressed the many people who had come to his mansion to give congratulatory wishes for he was now elected as a mayor. After a long time of campaigning, he finally won the election and was elected as the mayor. Of course, he was proud of himself. Of having the power he had always wanted and he knew nothing and no one would get in his way"Thanks a lot, mayor...we were looking forward to working with you" people came forward and
"W...where...am...I?"Olivia's hoarse and strained voice echoed throughout the bright room as she tried to adjust to the bright light. Her eyes burned from the lights which were blinding and unforgiving. Raising her hands which felt heavy, she reached for her eyes and rubbed them gently hoping the drowsy feeling would go away. Her head was spinning so much that's for a second she felt we if she had been drinking alcohol for so long and woke up with a deadly hangoverHer entire body ached so much that the feeling of being run over by a bus repeatedly was the only explanation she could agree on when she attempted to push herself up into a sitting position. Her body snapped so much that the sharp pain rung in her ears causing a deafening sound to affect her hearing senses"Ahh...cough...cough..mom! Dad! Where are you?" she shouted as loud as but her throat cracked causing a sharp pain that had her coughing violently due to the dryness of her throat"L... Lalo...help…" she called out as he
It was a shame someone saved my life, as much as I was expected to be happy that I was alive. But what good was being alive when my family was no moreAfter waking up from death, nothing was the same. My face was not the same, how did all this happen. I had nothing to live for and lying on the narrow hospital bed staring at the ceiling wasn't helping. Everything was gone. My identity. My beloved family. My little brother. I didn't want to feel this pain residing in my heart. Tears escaped my eyes without my permission. Recalling what the man I claimed to live did to me made the knot in my chest tighten…The promises he made to me. I listened and like a fool, I believed himFor two years he faked his feelings towards me..it hurt more than anything to know Luciano was only after revenge. He never valued me and everything he ever said to me was a lie"Okay now let's see." the door suddenly opened and the doctor from earlier walked in I quickly reached for my face and wiped the tears raini
The man before me was everything I didn't like. From his posture and his demeanor, everything I loathed. There was that one thing I found in men who thought they held too much power. The pride in their eyes to think they deserved everything that came their way was a turn-off for me.“What? Surprised… I'm just an ordinary man who…likes collecting toys” again he spoke in a deep calm voice. He wasn't trying too hard to be handsome. Even so, he was a compelling figure. He was good-looking, handsome. His dark brown hair, as thick and lustrous as mink fur, was cut in short layers. But it was the eyes that seized my attention, dark brown a volatile color you could never forget once you'd seen it… I couldn't compare him to any man in terms of looks. His aura was overbearing as he stood with the insolent, loose-jointed slouch of someone who'd rather spend his time in a pool hall. Although he was well-dressed, it was obvious he didn't make his living sitting behind a desk, he was too rough and
In olivia's POV It was like I was trapped in my nightmare, trying so hard to wake up. Nothing made sense, including the man who was explaining to me what had happened for the past year. Looking at the newspaper from a year ago presented before me. My heart ached, I didn't know Luciano and his family were this cunning. They killed my family tactfully. Their mission was to kill everyone, including me. But they failed because I survived. Luciano took everything I ever cherished. He trampled over my love for him and made a mockery of the trust my parents had for him. My little brother treated him like an older brother, but what did he do in the end? “Luciano Garcia…he did well last year as the mayor… Everyone loves him…a formidable businessman and a devoted husband to… Solange Philips…” Pedro said, going through the papers he brought for me to see. If he had known what he was doing was making me even angrier, then he would have stopped. The sight of Luciano happy in the wedding photos m
Olivia's POV “Ms. I'm Elena…your trainer,” a lady wearing a white nurse uniform said, smiling as soon as I entered a large room with walls painted white. The room looked so vibrant and colorful, not sure if from the large glass window with the white curtains drawn apart. We were on the second floor of the mansion, “Okay but…” I didn't know what to say. Here I was still worrying about myself and how I was going to get back at my enemies. Some bossy man saved my life and brought me to his mansion. Since last night I had trouble getting any shut eyes. The thought of what had happened for the past year haunted my sleep. The need to walk again and face my enemy's head was necessary. I hated being vulnerable and at the mercy of a man. Order or whatever they called him, didn't seem like an ordinary man. From his mansion, which I only saw inside not outside, I could tell he was rich. “I got the doctor's report…we just need to work on making sure your muscles are strong enough…” the nurs
“Boss… I think you should take charge…the lady is a little difficult to handle,” Zane said while giving Pedro a few files to look at… Pedro was sitting in his chair, listening carefully…he had a team. Formidable…he was a mafia boss…the best there was. No one ever dared to go against him. He made the rules for everyone to follow, and saved anyone's life. They automatically became his possessions to do as he wanted. “And again Gabby isn't too happy…he thinks letting the lady stay here is an insult to his brother's memories,” Zane added as he sat back down, Gabriel was a lethal gunman. He was their best shooter and if anyone joined the mafia and wanted to learn to shoot. Gabriel aka Gabby was the man to go for. He never smiled and had a hot temper. His brother was convicted of sexual assault. The lawyer who had a hand in putting him behind bars was Ignacio Altamirano. The mafia world was different…they had more enemies than friends and trusted no one. Once you become a part of the Mafia
**Four Years Later**"Mommy, mommy watch me fly!" A little girl's giggles erupted throughout the room. "Sweetie, stop it now!" A woman shouted from afar but the girl didn't stop giggling. "Madam, leave her…kids her age are like this," an elderly lady told the woman beside her who was busy decorating a cake. The woman was dressed in a halter-neck, sleeveless blue dress which hugged her voluptuous figure in the right places. She was nothing but a beauty to behold. Her smile was as charming and serene as the calm waters of the sea. Her long blonde hair cascaded to her in a wavy way."She can hurt herself…she's too much," it was none other than Olivia who said with a frown and continued decorating the cake."It's her fourth birthday… like every year you bake a cake for her…she's lucky to have a caring mother like you," the elderly who was none other than her daughter's nanny said. Her boss was a working class woman. She was always busy with her clients. But when it came to her daughter,
After that dreadful night, many lives were lost. Antonia was arrested for attempted murder. However, she later killed herself in prison after hearing about the death of her two lovely sons. Bianca went crazy after everything. She was admitted to the asylum to get better. “It's been 5 months Pedro…please come back,” Olivia whispered as she ran her hand over the concrete granite with Pedro's name engraved in it. Tears trickled down her face. The despair of not having the man she loved beside her. “I'm five months pregnant…don't you want to see our baby,” she added as her hand shifted to her belly. After all that, she went through. She and Pedro's child survived, but he didn't. She missed him a lot. It didn't feel real that the man she loved more than anything was no more. They didn't get to enjoy each other's company. “Why did you do this…why did you make me love you!” A yell escaped her trembling lips, everything seemed dark. Her life was without colors. Everything was back to norma
The rain stopped immediately as dawn approached. The sun rose at its full peak. The city which always seemed lively was like a dead jungle. No life, like a nightmare. Olivia was still on her knees by the edge of the cliff waiting for the man she loved to come back. Her clothes which had been drenched with both rain and blood had dried up. The police were running to and from retrieving dead bodies and putting them in the ambulance. Ira stood by Olivia, afraid of what to say to her. This was a sad moment for her. The fact that Pedro was no more pained, not just her. Both those who had followed him for years."She needs to come home," Jordan whispered to Ira, it was a shame they showed up when it was too late. But Pedro had ordered them to save Zane and Sydney. Although Zane was shot in the arm, he was recuperating in the hospital. "He has to be here…he isn't…I'll wait for him," she wasn't going to leave until she saw Pedro. Ira and Jordan exchanged glances and knew how painful it was
“You are naive…do you think I'll let this slut go?” Bruce yelled while his men held Luciano down from escaping. Olivia was unconscious and getting hoisted near the cliff while tied up.“You traitor…you killed your brother!” Luciano yelled and tried to get free,. Unfortunately, the men had injected him with something which made him helpless.“Everything…was planned by you…you deceived everyone,” he didn't know there was a devil far more heartless behind Everything. He betrayed Olivia's trust by pretending to love her, only to attempt to kill her and her family. All those years, he was made to believe Olivia's father was responsible for his father's cruel death.“I killed him… I made those inmates torture him…then I sent someone to finish him off” Bruce remarked sarcastically and kicked Luciano in the gut. Despite the pain, Luciano didn't dare show it. Flickering his eyes open, he tried moving toward where Olivia was tied up in midair, but he could. “I hate you…you ruined people's live
Nothing broke Olivia's heart more than seeing her loved ones dying before her eyes. Sydney was in agony, crying as she tried to make sense of what had happened. Alfredo was dead. Despite everything that happened, Olivia was aware of how Sydney felt about him. He was her first love. She still recalled how the two met, Olivia couldn't help but hug Sydney to comfort her."That's enough, don't blame yourself," Olivia whispered and caged Sydney in her arms. However, Sydney was uncontrollably weeping her heart out. Even Zane standing on the sidelines felt his heart ache. Alfredo wasn't a bad guy, he was just born into a family who caused others pain."He saved me…sobs…he…I killed him" Sydney cried her heart out Zane went on his knees and pried her off Olivia. He couldn't take it anymore. "And he doesn't want you to cry like this…pull yourself together," he whispered and planted a kiss on her cheek, with the rain pouring heavily, the scenery was something which broke Olivia's heart."We nee
"Agh! L-let.." Marcos tried to catch his breath but with each breath he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Pedro cradled the man in his arms trying by all means to stop the bleeding on his chest but he couldn't. Blood was oozing out like a fountain. "Stop talking…I'll have my men take you to the hospital," Pedro said knowing he would make sure Marcos was safe, unfortunately, Marcos let out a sarcastic laugh. "L-leave me…it's…it's no point…" even if Pedro managed to destroy the room and rescue him. Marcos knew he wouldn't last a day. He was dead, there was no saving him. "I didn't know, you were so weak," Pedro muttered with a frown and looked around for anyone. He knew his men would arrive. "Save…save my sister…that monster…he has her!" Marcos struggled to voice out the words but ended up coughing out blood. Pedro's brows knitted together. "She'll be fine…let's move," Pedro muttered and prepared to get up when Marcos held his hand. "Don't…I don't have much time…" he said and closed
“Fucking face it…there's no getting out of here!” Alfredo groaned in frustration as he tried to reach for the chains he was tied with, unfortunately with the way he was all tied up. It was impossible even to think.“Says a coward… I'm fucking getting out!” Zane groaned and tried to swing himself, so he could reach the wall but was tied up with chains upside down. It was a bad position. “Says a man who has done more harm than good,” Alfredo scoffed, having no idea why he was trapped with a mafia when he was supposed to be saving Sydney. “What about you, huh? Instead of protecting the woman you claimed to love…you fucking let your pathetic family harm her!” Zane spat out bitterly, his eyes filled with hatred, but Alfredo did care. Sydney has always been in love with him. He did all he could.“You know nothing about us… I'm the man she loves and will always love…she's in all this mess because of you, bloody mafias,” he stood by his words, the night he met Sydney, he fell in love with h
Corina's eyes rolled in ecstasy; she could feel her juices dripping down. Just the sight of Pedro's naked body had her drooling. Touching herself as she crawled on the bed."After tonight…there will be no denying me…my love for you," she whispered and ran her finger from his chest and stopped at his abs."Do you remember…the wild night we had…how dominant and barbaric you…used to be," she leaned down and ran her tongue on his abs. A smirk crept on her face as she watched him struggling. Of course, the drug she gave him rendered him useless….he couldn't move nor talk. He was completely overpowered and not in control."You've always been the one who set my soul on fire," she added and lay on her side. Her hair fell to the sides as she got a better view of Pedro. Scanning his perfectly sculpted body. He was the man, sexy and held power. Such traits he possessed. This was the kind of man she had always desired."My love…we are going to have fun," she muttered and reached her hand for Pe
Corina's eyes flashed with hatred upon hearing what Pedro had to say. After everything, he was insisting on being Olivia. “I love you Pedro…you mean the world to me…why do you insist on being with her!” Corina yelled and grabbed Pedro's shirt. She couldn't take it anymore. She was a beautiful woman, even better than Olivia, so why was he doing this?“Is this… Why you want to see me… I told you…the only woman I love is Olivia,” Pedro shoved her hands away and turned away. His feelings had changed over the past months. He wasn't like this, meeting Olivia, everything changed.“You are lying…wake up, Pedro …she's not the one for me… I'm stronger than her…we…we make a good couple,” Corina was irritated to know Pedro didn't want her. It was the middle of the night. All she wanted was to be with Pedro.“I thought you had something sensible to tell me…but I can see you are still mentally ill,” Pedro remarked, keeping Corina at arm's length. She called him saying she had an idea of the main m
