The rains had begun at night, Olivia thought it would stop after some time, unfortunately even when it was morning the rain continued pouring heavily.Olivia already noticed they were at a cottage, somewhere far away from civilization.“Pedro,” she called out in a sleepy voice, rubbing her eyes as she tried shifting when she realized the man was still on top of her.Somehow in the middle of the night, things got heated, unlike most times, she and Pedro shared a different intimacy. There was no talking, for the first time she felt something powerful.Opening her eyes, a smile crept on her face when she found him sleeping like some child, snuggling to her. His breathing was stable. His grip on her hip tightened, and Olivia knew the man had enough of her.“Hey, wake up now,” she muttered, reaching for his neck, her hands sliding down his back. He was naked and so was she.“If you move… I'm sure both of us will have a hard time,” surprisingly Pedro said in a sleepy voice, startled, Olivia'
Olivia thought Pedro had some serious issues to attend to, however, after reaching the villa she always stayed at. He asked her to freshen up. After an awkward night, Pedro had been acting strange, she showed up and got dressed up. He, too, got dressed up in a black suit. He didn't call for a drive or a crazy escort like he normally did, just the two of them.She got in his car and he asked her to calm herself. Of course, everything about the man scared her. He was someone difficult to read. Pedro was unpredictable, any woman would be frightened to be with him for a very long time.Every minute she spent with him, she felt as if she wouldn't make it alive.“I'm a monster… you are afraid,” he said, startling her, Olivia realized she had been looking at him the whole time. Averting her eyes, she sunk into her seat. The man chuckled and focused his eyes on the road ahead. “I can be afraid… but I can't if you tell me about yourself,” she said fiddling with her hands, several times she had
Alfredo was against anything that had to do with illegal things. He understood the serious issues the family was facing. However, the idea of involving himself in something shady didn't sit well with him. “Philip is angry, Solange went missing, and I have my suspicions,” Antonia said, crossing her legs elegantly. The fight between her family and the enemy just began. Solange was her daughter-in-law. She disappeared a week ago. Her father had tried searching for her, unfortunately to no avail. “I have work to do… I'll see you around,” Luciano said, glancing at his phone. He didn't care what happened to Solange, his only concern was Livia. After what he discovered, he didn't think he would stay still. He was too overwhelmed by emotions. “Son, I'm afraid this is your responsibility… your wife is missing, so stop acting like that and find her,” Antonia yelled, stopping Luciano in his tracks. Alfredo knew Luciano never loved Solange, the consequences of forcing him to marry a woman he di
Olivia waited for his reply, this was important to her. At least if she had to fight for Pedro, then she had to have a valid reason for doing so. There was too much at stake, and being sure where she stood in Pedro's life was crucial to her.His grip on her face tightened. There was so much doubt and uncertainty in his eyes, his gaze softened as she tried to search for anything that would guarantee her he was hers and no one else.“I see… at the end of the day… you don't know what you want,” Olivia said, shrugging his hands away and preparing to leave when he grabbed her hand, stopping her from going anywhere. Pedro pulled her back and hugged her from behind. She would rather not stay with him. It was best she left his house and went somewhere else alone. He was indecisive. He didn't know what he wanted.“Whatever it is, I'm willing to do… But being tied to me… is dangerous,” Pedro muttered, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his hot breath brushing against her skin as a cold
“What? Are you going to stare at me like that?” Olivia asked Sydney, who didn't utter a word since they met. She was just staring at her. Of course, it was difficult to believe she was still alive. Sydney gulped down another glass of water to cool off. Still in shock.“It's…it's incredible… I didn't think or imagine…tell me what happened that night,” Sydney said hesitantly. Finally, she was able to see Olivia. Something she had always wished for, unfortunately her face was different. She wouldn't have recognized her even if she had a third eye.“It's a long story…where can I start from,” Olivia remarked with an exhalation. Everything happened so fast and unexpected that night. She was celebrating her birthday, not realizing what was lurking in the shadows. Luciano and his family planned it all.“I wish we knew what he was all about…poor aunt and uncle…even Lalo…how can they be so cruel,” Sydney said, hating the sight of the Garcia family, she guessed right the entire time? Her friend's
“What do you think I'm doing, huh?" Pedro asked as he slowly walked around the room, his piercing gaze was fixed on Alfredo. The guts he had to show up at his den. Didn't he fear what could happen to him?“Did you or did you not?”Alfredo asked, giving nothing away. He just asked him a simple question and all he had to do was answer it. Pedro's facial expression turned sour. The rage in his eyes was known. However, for the sake of it, he half sat on the desk and dragged a small pocket knife which was lying on the desk near the papers. Alfredo's gaze shifted to his hand. The man before him was Frightening, cruel, and dominant.“If I say yes. What will you do huh… drag me to jail… or burn me alive…which is it,” Pedro said after a while. His tone was sarcastic, so was the small smirk tugging at his lips. Alfredo knew what he was doing and why he came to him.“She's just a little girl… she doesn't know anything… if you have to punish anyone… then I'm here… lock me up, shoot me or do whatev
Olivia blinked multiple times when Pedro lowered her into the hot tub full of bubbling water. The aching feeling ceased to exist at the warmth engulfing her. Pedro pinned her hair above so it couldn't get wet.Already, she told him it was fine, but he was doing his thing. “Get in,” Olivia whispered when the man half sat on the edge of the tub and stared at her. She was feeling strange and wanted him as close to her as possible.“No, let me take care of you,” he whispered as he took a handful of the hot water and splashed it on her shoulders. Olivia shivered at the warmth. “Please… just a little,” she pleaded with puppy eyes, a gesture he knew he wouldn't refuse her. Pedro stared at her for a short while, not sure if he was going to control himself. But her cute face made it impossible to resist.“Hm,” he hummed with a light nod and rose to his feet. Olivia watched the man in anticipation as he stripped off his blazer and tossed it away. His gaze was on her as he tugged at his shirt
“Don't look at me like that, I couldn't handle losing you, okay,” Olivia said with a grin, not sure why Sydney was giving her a bitchy look. But we're in danger with no one to save them. She had to do what was necessary.“It's… it's not like that… I'm just ashamed,” she was ashamed to witness. Something so deadly yet having no idea what to do. Those men were aiming at her, and Olivia stepped in to save her. “We are friends, sisters… I wouldn't let anything happen to you,” Olivia remarked and shoved the bowl of soup in her lap, Sydney let out a heavy exhale and cradled the bowl in her hands. It was a bad night.“You've changed… those bastards made life hard for you,” Sydney muttered as tears lingered in her eyes, the thought of the Garcia's made her blood boil. Their deeds ruined Olivia's life completely, she had nothing left. A girl who once dreamed of becoming a lawyer was not a mafia, doing exactly what she was against.“Don't think much… you are safe here… Pedro said you can stay a
