SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD Annoyed
ACCALIA'S POV"We're not here to cause trouble," I watched as Don tried to explain, he was using slow, clear English and hoping for some understanding. To both our relief, a young man from the group responded in English, who was albeit with a heavy accent."You are safe here," he assured us. "Our village is open to those who need shelter.""You're not from around here, are you?" he asked, his English tinged with an accent we couldn't understand."No, we—" I heard Don start, but I gave his hand a small squeeze, like I was signaling him to be cautious."We had an accident," I quickly responded. Instead, my voice was stronger now. "Our parachute... we ended up here."The man nodded, there was understanding dawning in his eyes. "I see. You're lucky to be alive. The sea can be unforgiving. My name is Kito. Welcome to Octa Cove. We don’t get many visitors here.""Octa Cove," I heard Don repeat, the name was rolling off his tongue. It sounded somehow peaceful, like a stark contrast to the or

DON'S POV"Hey," she said softly, sitting beside me on the bench. "You look miles away. What's going on?"I shook my head, the scenarios I had concocted to explain our current predicament swirling in my mind. "I can't get any reception. I was trying to call Luca, to... I don't know, hear a familiar voice, maybe get some advice. And then it hit me, Accalia. Who would want us dead? This wasn't an accident. Someone planted that bomb. But why?"Accalia took my hand, her grip firm and reassuring. "We'll figure this out. Together, okay? We're alive, and that's what matters right now. We've been through a lot, but we're not going to let this break us. Whoever did this, they wanted to scare us, isolate us, make us feel powerless. But look at us," she gestured around, "we're here, we're safe, and we're not alone. We have each other."Her words stood with a strength I desperately needed, washed over me, grounding me back to the moment, to the reality that despite the trouble, I would figure eve

MAX'S POVMy head throbbed as the sun beat down on my body and it was hard to keep my eyes open. The bright sunlight reflected off of the pavement that covered a wide area outside my room window. It was still early in the morning, and I should really be out running by now. But no matter how much my brain yelled at me for being awake before I had enough braincells to even consider moving, I just couldn't find the motivation to get up from bed. My muscles felt like they were made of lead weights, and every time I moved I could feel my bones groan in protest. So, with a groan of agreement I laid there unmoving in my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I would have gone downstairs if only to escape the suffocating heat radiating off of my blankets, but the fact that my mother's cooking would surely smell horrible in the kitchen kept me in bed instead. My thoughts were interrupted when the door burst open. Immediately I jumped as if I'd been shocked. When my eyes landed on who had enter

MAX'S POV"Now get up and get ready," she ordered. As she left, my mind reeled from the shock of her sudden outburst. Even after the door slammed shut behind her, there was a long silence before I eventually managed to get out of bed. In truth, I wasn't sure what to say to comfort my mother. I didn't know what she meant by that threat, and I knew that if I tried to explain everything, she would just tell me how I was wrong. That's not what I wanted, and I'd rather avoid arguing with her. So instead of doing anything other than trying to ignore how my heart ached, I grabbed my phone off of the nightstand, slipped on some sneakers, and headed out the door.The hallway was empty. I walked slowly down the stairs , keeping an eye out for any signs of life. As usual I could hear my parents chatting softly in the kitchen. They must have heard me coming, because my mom started speaking first.Her voice sounded sad, and when she did speak it sounded like she was choking. I paused in the doo

MAX'S POVWell, do you think there are any leads?"I waited patiently for my dad to finish eating the food that my mom had prepared. As he swallowed, he looked over at me."I don't know Max." He sighed. "You should go console your mother."And so I did. After all the excitement from earlier, the sight of my mother's tears really hit me hard and I went looking for her immediately. It turned out that she had already taken herself upstairs to her bedroom. She sat on her bed and stared blankly ahead while I stood awkwardly by the door."Max," she said quietly, looking at the ground, "what does it mean that they aren't here? Where could they be?" Her eyes filled with fresh tears and I felt myself grow even more worried. I reached out a hand to touch her arm. It wasn't until then that I noticed her trembling.I pulled my hand away quickly. "Mom?" I whispered, "Mom, you can stop pretending now, I know you hate Accalia."My mom let out a small laugh and then wiped away the fake tears. "I hop

MAX'S POVThere was a moment of tense silence between us and then my mom scoffed. "You're such a naive child, Max. How can you honestly believe that Accalia would ever care about you enough to marry Don? If Accalia truly loved us, she wouldn't put her own selfish desires above our happiness. And she definitely wouldn't put your happiness above hers, if she wanted us to be happy, she would have married Ken."“Don't talk like that about Accalia mom, I know we both don't like her but we definitely can't be wishing her dead.” I reasoned with my mom, I knew that my mom had always hated Accalia. Mostly because Accalia had only be born because grandpa rejected the union of my dad and mom. Instead, grandpa arranged a marriage between Accalia's mother and my father.My mom was already with me for my Dad, she had tried to beg my grandpa not to allow her give birth to me out of wedlock but my grandpa was adamant because apparently, Accalia's mother was from a more prestigious home and her dad w

MAX'S POV“If Accalia demands for her inheritance, it's game over son, game over!” She let out a deep breath and sighed. “Your father won't be able to object, after all there is only an inheritance because she saved him from going bankrupt by marrying the most powerful in Italy and she's the grand daughter of one of the top families in Italy.”“That doesn't matter mom, it's up to Dad to make the decision after all.” I tried to reason with her but she wasn't having it.“It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter Max? She has big powers behind her, nothing will stop her once she becomes greedy! Get your act together son!”My mom's face showed extreme anger, she was literally shaking with rage.“Hey mom, calm down. Please?” I pleaded with her, holding both of her shaking hands on my own. The last thing I wanted was for her to start crying, it never happened before and she couldn't afford to fall apart now. “This isn't good for our family, please mom...” I was begging her but I didn't think my

MAX'S POV“Dad, don't threaten mom! Look, I'll explain later alright?! Please dad, calm down!” I said exasperatedly, holding on tightly onto him, trying to hold him back.“Get the fuck off of me Max! Answer me dammit!” He demanded and shoved me away from him aggressively.I stumbled but was luckily able to recover my balance and catch myself. “I'm sorry! Okay? I'm so sorry!! Please just let's go somewhere, let's sit down and calm down...” My mom begged desperately.She stepped towards my dad, pleading him to calm down, but dad was pissed and furious at my mom, she didn't deserve that.As mom reached for my dad, my dad slapped her across her face making her stagger backwards, clutching onto her stinging cheek, tears fell down my mom's red cheeks. And she was in disbelief. She looked as if the thought of my father slapping her in front of me made her physically ill.I looked at my dad and slowly backed away as he walked towards my mom, towering over her with a look of disgust in his ey

FLORELLA'S POVI frowned as I watched the new model, Accalia walk into the studio. She had a radiant smile on her face and everything about her just screamed beauty and perfection, no flaws or imperfections in sight.Her hair was styled in perfect waves that framed her face beautifully, her makeup perfectly complimented her gorgeous olive brown orbs and bright pink lipstick.She looked good. So good! So incredibly good that she could probably win any contest she was in! I almost gasped in admiration as I saw how breathtaking she really looked.I hated how beautiful she was, I never understood why anyone could want to look like that, but she was definitely an exception. She had a unique personality that drew people to her in a different way than everyone else did.I hated the fact that she was pretty that me and could easily over take me in the modeling world, there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen. i have been bullying her for over two weeks since she came but she

My clothes were all wrinkled and dirty after being used so many times for clothing shoots.But I was tired and hungry. So, with only mild hesitance, I walked out of the studio to head back home. my phone chimed and I looked at it and saw it was a text from Don asking me to use the back door of the company and meet him at the car park where he was waiting for me.I smiled weakly at the text before I took the elevator to the car park tiredly.I exited the elevator and walked out of the building and saw Don standing at the entrance of the parking lot, he waved as soon as he saw me approaching and headed over to the car to help me inside. Once I was seated, he walked around the car to the drivers seat."Where is everyone?" I asked curiously, noticing no cars."They had to go somewhere." Is all he told me.

ACCALIA'S POVI smiled as I dressed up for my first day at work, yes, my first day at work. I was so excited when Don told me to dress up today that I would resume work at his company as a model.I wanted to make a good first impression so I needed to dress up nicely. A white button down shirt and a black blazer were the two pieces of clothing I selected from my closet after I finished dressing in bed this morning. I also wore some light makeup but it wasn't much. Not too much, just enough to look like I hadn't slept with it all off last night. That made me think about something else - Don's lips... I shook my head trying to get rid of those thoughts.I brushed through my hair once more then applied one last coat of lip gloss before leaving my room, closing and locking the door behind me. I took a deep breath of air and exhaled deeply, hoping to calm myself before I headed down the stairs to meet Don."Good morning!" Don chirped happily when he saw me. I grinned back at him and walk

"Together, we can face anything."With a heavy heart, I nodded in agreement, drawing strength from Don's unwavering faith in our future. As we boarded the bus and took our seats, I cast one last glance back at the village of Arinthia, its familiar streets now fading into the distance.And as the bus pulled away, carrying us towards an uncertain future, I knew that it was time to go back to my old life.As the bus journeyed towards the city, the landscape outside morphed from rolling hills to towering skyscrapers, a stark contrast to the quaint charm of Arinthia.

"It's okay, Accalia," he whispered, his voice gentle yet filled with unspoken sorrow. "We'll be alright."But the dam had already broken, and I could no longer hold back the flood of emotions that surged within me. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I buried my face in Don's chest, my heart aching with the pain of leaving behind everything I had ever known."It's just... so hard," I choked out between sobs, my voice muffled against Don's shirt. "Saying goodbye to everyone, to everything..."Don held me tighter, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I know, Accalia," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "But this isn't goodbye forever. We'll come back someday, I promise."His words offered little solace in the face of our imminent departure, but I clung to them nonetheless, finding comfort in the warmth of his embrace.
