The exchanging of gunshots echoed in the air like deafening missiles firing. Two men stood in front of her, shielding her and Pedro while the others exchanged gunshots with the people who wanted to harm Pedro. Olivia shouted at the top of her voice and gathered Pedro in her arms, he was bleeding. “I-I'm fine…damn it, I'm fine,” Pedro regained his wits and said breathlessly while trying to get up. Olivia shoved him down and started inspecting him. “We need an ambulance…you are hurt,” Olivia stammered nervously, everything happened so fast that she couldn't think. At that point, she took Pedro's gun and started shooting back at whoever was trying to hurt them. But Pedro's men showed her just in time to take over. “That son of a bitch…let me…” Pedro growled and attempted to stand, but he fell back down. “Your arm is hurt…stay still,” Olivia coaxed, noticing his left arm was the one bleeding. Pedro gritted his teeth and tried everything to ignore the pain, unfortunately, he couldn't.
“Nothing boss…they won't say anything," Zane and Gabby came back to the living room and told Pedro, who was sitting lazily on the couch. He didn't reply, but kept his gaze on the glass of vodka he was holding.“Those Rascals are highly trained assassins. I don't think they work for Marcos,” Gabby said with an exhalation and sat down. He was feeling frustrated mainly because, as the person in charge of torturing those who offended his boss, he failed to do his job.“Of course, they don't …” Pedro muttered while moving his index finger in circles around the edge of the glass, and Zane frowned.“You mean the same thorn causing all this…is…” Zane wondered and sat down too. Gabby, who had been leaning against the couch, leaned forward. Both men were anxious to hear what the boss had to say.“It makes sense now… the person knows Marcos won't hurt you or cause bloodshed…so they are finally coming out of their shells,” Gabby remarked with a questionable expression and shifted his gaze to Zane.
Zane And Gabby stopped what they were doing and glanced at Olivia in disbelief. The red-haired man was still screaming in terror when he was flipped. This time he was tied by the legs and made to dangle midair with his arms extending down.“I… I'll never…do whatever the fuck… you want!” The red-haired man yelled breathlessly, even if he was bleeding to death. The torture they subjected him to was lethal. It was simple but caused so much pain. Zane and Gabby watched the man and then shifted to Olivia. “Fine, you won't die, so easily, I can't promise you that,” Olivia said and rose to her feet. She threw Pedro a lazy glance then turned to the bald man shrieking in fear. Olivia ignored him and turned to his friend.“You fucked up bitch…thinks…y-you are something… you'll die soon and there…there isn't anything he can do about it,” the red-haired man said, splashing bloody saliva all over the place. Olivia had to back away, feeling disgusted.“His name is Joe, aka flame…he's hot-tempered,
“I'm okay, he didn't do anything," Sydney said over the phone to Olivia while fixing her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Her friend was worried after she left without telling anyone.“I'm taking a shower now… I'll call you later,” Sydney said and disconnected the call. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiledShe was not sure why Marcos was acting strange. She already told him he was the most important person to him. But he didn't seem to believe her.“What's all this, huh?” Sydney asked when she came out of the bathroom and found flowers decorated in the room. Marcos, who was lying in the bed, shirtless, prompted on his elbows and picked up a single rose flower. “Can you take a guess,” he whispered while sniffing the flower? Sidney's brows creased suspiciously as she walked in and stopped before Marcos.“You brought me here… I thought you had work,” they came to another city, she thought he had something to do, but it seemed he had enough time to play naughty.“Bab
Olivia and Zane were troubled by the message they received. Zane especially was acting like a crazy person trying to call the person back, unfortunately there was no answer. “I'm certain this is a prank, Sydney is with my brother,” Olivia said, trying to assure herself that her friend was alright. Zane, on the other hand, was driving the car like a crazy person. His actions made Olivia wonder just how much he cared about Sydney. “She's not answering her phone… your so-called brother didn't do what was expected of him to take care of her,” Zane spat out disdainfully. He didn't trust anyone when it came to Sydney. “Damn it, why isn't he picking up,” Olivia muttered and slammed her phone on the car seat. It was crazy, everything was happening so fast. “We need to call Pedro…he must know something,” Olivia suggested after a while and sent Pedro a message. Zane nodded and increased the car's speed. Calling the mafia boss was the only way. ____ “W-why don't you…fucking take off the da
“That's insane, we should call the police!” Olivia's dad exclaimed in disbelief when he was told what was going in. Her mom on the other side didn't stop pacing back and forth.“We can't, dad…this isn't the police's matter to handle,” Olivia said, just like Pedro said. Things were complicated, and they needed to handle them cautiously. Before, she had a word with Pedro. She wanted to rush into calling the police, but Pedro made her understand certain things.“We can't sit here and do nothing…my son is in danger,” Olivia heard her mom say, of course, she was worried about Marcos, but she doubted her brother wouldn't take care of himself. The entire time, she had been trying to put two and two together. What exactly happened, and who was the mastermind? Olivia was certain the person they were dealing with was not ordinary. After a while of reasoning with her parents. Olivia retired to her room. She was too tired to stay awake because she was pregnant. It gave her a disadvantage, and Pe
It had been a while since Antonia did something, after finding out the Altamirano family was alive. She was angered. Even so, there was nothing she could do because Ignacio already started his law firm. Sitting in her study, Antonia had two of her trusted lawyers and Corina. “I want this settled now…what sort of rubbish is this,” Antonia lashed out and slammed some files on the desk. The two lawyers lowered their heads even more. “Madam, I'm afraid Mr. Altamirano started an investigation which is just a cover-up…he's planning to sue you for attempted murder,” one of the lawyers said nervously, the entire time Corina was sitting in the lounge going through a magazine. She smiled to herself and continued her work. “He's insane, that damned bastard caused my family so much pain…he dared to sue me!” Antonia yelled even more than the two lawyers were scared out of their wits. What she did was an eye for an eye. “He ruined my family, my husband died all because of him, what I did to hi
Olivia's eyes flashed with rage at the sight of the man she wasn't expecting. Indeed, love would make people do the craziest things and that was what was happening. “Luciano, let me go,” she said, trying, certainly, to get free. Unfortunately, the man tied her to a chair. He dragged her to some dark room filled with boxes and other deadly weapons. “You came here…willingly, my love,” Luciano remarked as he walked around Olivia before stopping in front of her. “Baby, we are finally here, aren't we” he whispered with a smirk accompanied by laughter. For so long he waited to have a piece of Olivia. “You are sick, insane… I'm not yours…you are nothing but a murderer,” she should have known the blackmailer was Luciano. He stooped so low just to have her. “So is he, he's a damn killer…a rapist, and I'm much better than him,” Luciano said angrily and slammed his fist on the armrest of the chair. Olivia's heart thumped from fright. She couldn't recognize him anymore. A man she used to ado
**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
