The past days have been annoying as hell for him, from his prisoner escaping to Dario's last daughter living in his manor, and to her claiming to be his girlfriend. Every damn thing made him furious, especially with the stupid girl in his mansion. He knew he didn't really punish her enough for the title she acquire for herself yesterday and that only triple his anger. He wanted to make her pay but a lot of force are binding him because she was Dario's damn last daughter. So he had to be careful with her, tons of eyes were on her and any small mistake from him through her could crush him. He badly wanted to kill her so everything would settle. Killing her was the best thing to do, no more Dario's heir, no one to carry out the revenge even though he doubt if Jasira could do that. All the frustration and the thoughts build up in him that he kept punching the bag, his shoulder popping out of the socket and returning to it. His shoulder stretched under the tight gray vest he wore wi
Alejandro lift his head from the phone he was pressing, he dropped his crossed legs to the ground before taking a short glance at the door where a knock came from. "Come in." His rasped voice filled the room loudly enough for his intruder to hear him, his eyes were fixated on the door expecting that timid ginger-haired girl to waltz inside his room and started behaving like the most innocent girl in the world. He was pretty sure she was doing breathing practice behind that half-open door. He rested his head on the headrest with his hand behind his head as he waited for her with a smug smirk. "What takes you so long?" He asked with a furrowed brow and a smirk lingering on his lips waiting for his ridiculous excuse. Jasira bite deep into her inner cheek until it started hurting like crazy. She knew Alejandro was just waiting for a wrong answer from her before a bullet would be fired into her skull. His cold voice showed that he clearly loathed her. Any other day that h
Jasira walked in with a sad expression on her face like she had been doing for the past minutes just that this time the sadness writing over her face was nothing fakeness. She was tripping with happiness inside her. "This is the best." She said politely with a fixed smile as she placed it on the coffee stool. She straightened up her face as he studied her suspiciously. Nah guy, you are not getting anything out of my face. Being with him for weeks had made her perfect her expression. Now, she was also good at concealing her facial expression, courtesy of him. She always wondered how people did it especially when she was young when her father would have expressionless throughout his meeting and now she mastered it. Alejandro narrowed his perfect eyebrow at her. "You poison it." He said more of a question than a statement. He studied her feature and notice her shaking fingers. She might have hidden her facial expression but definitely not her body expression. He shouldn't dri
The coldness radiating from the room couldn't match the fire that burned through her body. Her hands trembled on her knees as she crawled back frantically. Fire burned through her as she lifted her head to glance at rage filled blue-eyed man. The six-foot-plus man was hovering over her like a wild animal like she was prey with no escape route. She swallowed the huge lump in her throat, her heart was pounding hard threatening to rip out of her ribcage every time she spent in his room. She rubbed her temple breathing heavily as she lowered her gaze to his knees. "I...I." Her words trailed off. Sorry doesn't feel right in this situation and her on her knee with her mouth on his cock felt absurd as well. She didn't know what to do, sweat prickled down her spine as she stared at the floor scared. What had she done for god sake? What was she thinking when she was putting the salt in his coffee? "Jasira!" He boomed and she jerked up. Venom seeped out of his voice reminding her t
"Don't kill me, I will do anything you want." She begged clasping her hands together while her heart pound loudly in her chest. Alejandro had never been this furious at her even when she claimed to be his girlfriend. The look on his face told her he was not leaving her unpunished today. "Of course, you will do what I want and kill you." She was still looking at him with confusion and begging for mercy with her eyes that she didn't even have time to digest his words before he grabbed her by the neck tightly and pushed her toward his ensuite. "Please, my lord." She screamed after him with her heart banging in her ribcage with full force. Her death was sure today, no way he was leaving her unpunished today. What about her mother? Oh fuck. Her scream increased at the thought Of that. She went silent when her face slammed against the cold ties turning her scream to a whimper. The pain from her face transferred to all her body causing a loud wince to escape from her as a protest
"Life is unfair." That's what she'd used to think about every time and that was what she was doing right now. life doesn't miss the opportunity to toss challenges that she would never overcome at her and when she thought life was going smoothly, she ended in a big white horror manor. Why does life choose to be unfair to her? She might have not been a good girl bit... "C'mon Jasira, I bet that dough is crying about being thumped too much." Amy's voice pulled Jasira out of her never-ending thoughts. "That's if it could talk only." She winked and stuck out her tongue which made Amy shake her head with a laugh on her face. Jasira shrugged off her contagious laugh before she focused on the over-flatted dough. They were competing on who could make the best chocolate cookies, Amy suggested for some reasons she doesn't know. She was not even in the mood to think about it. She glanced at the over-flattened dough, she really flattened it more than normal, she thought adding extra doug
Jasira could feel every thump of her heart as Alejandro angrily approached her, his cold eyes fixed on her. Her heart skipped a beat when she felt his icy hand on her wrist, dragging her out angrily."I knew I shouldn't have said that. It was very rude, and I apologize for that and for avoiding you. It wasn't intentional. I was just conscious that you didn't send for me, so I thought you were okay with it," she rasped, breathless. Her words rushed out of her mouth rapidly, leaving no gaps for her to breathe.Before she could protest or react, her back was forcefully slammed against the wall in the hallway. Alejandro placed his hand beside her waist and the other one near her neck, trapping her with his large body and blocking her vision.A surge of anxiety ran through her as she suddenly became motionless. Every nerve in her body tingled with unease. His gaze burned with such intensity that she felt her soul shiver. The butterflies in her stomach fluttered and their sharp wings seemed
Jasira sat on the bed with her legs intertwined like a monk, while in front of her was her laptop. She watched it with adoration, as it was her most precious possession. It contained a lot of secrets and information she couldn't afford to lose. Behind her façade as a night waitress, she was also a skilled hacker.Determined to seek revenge, she had started learning to hack secretly as a teenager. She had gathered some information about her family tragedy, but the most crucial details, such as the identity of the killer and their accomplice, remained inaccessible. The lack of available information frustrated her.Annoyed, she hissed when the website she was working on suddenly went blank. This was a familiar outcome, as she would often come close to achieving her goal only to lose everything at the last moment. Frustrated, she angrily pushed the laptop away with her leg."Nonsense," she cursed, closing the laptop and crawling out of bed to hide it in its usual place. Her eyes caught si
Alejandro stood before the full-length mirror staring at his reflection, he adjusted his watch and smiled in satisfaction at his look. He caught a glimpse of Jasira looking at him, and every time their eyes met she removed her gaze, that was the third it had happened. He smiled turning to her. "Say what's in your mind baby girl, I can feel your eyes eating me up." He winked crossing his hands over his chest. "I don't bite." Jasira scoffed with a small laugh, "I'm not looking at you, my eyes are not eating you up." She denied closing the closet. "Moreover, I was only wondering why some parts of your hair are not combed properly, your tie is also undone." She added, proud of herself to have found something to say. Alejandro chuckled, he saw through her lies but left it. "Will you help me with them?" He asked picking a comb from the vanity, and she was already standing before him eagerly. "Here." He passed the comb to her, and she smiled brightly. "You know I'm always jeal
Jasira woke up with the morning sun shining on her face, she groaned with her eyes closed, and she turned away from the sun to continue sleeping. 'I'm on vacation.' The thought crossed her mind and she yanked up immediately. She looked around the room for Alejandro and sank when he was nowhere to be found. He was one of the reasons she was so excited about waking up early. "Where did he go this early morning?" She asked no one as she picked up her phone from the nightstand. "10:00 am." She yelled flying to her feet. "That was unbelievable." She walked to the half-wall window, she placed her hands on the as she looked at the bright sun. She had thought it was just eight in the morning, but the bright sun in the sky told her otherwise. This was one of the best sleep she had had since she was discharged from the hospital, she had no nightmares, and there were no drumming sounds in her ears today. She stared at the orchards that surrounded the house, they were so tall and fruity

Alejandro carried sleeping Jasira in his arms as he got out of the car, she fell asleep in the car on their way. The guard walked faster than him to open the door for him. "Boss," He acknowledged and Alejandro nodded his head to him. The sweet rose smell welcomed him as he closed his eyes briefly.The walls of the living room were painted peach with black stripes, a color he chose because of Jasira. He was a fan of brighter colors but he'd do anything for her. Three gold chandeliers hung in the middle of the room. There are two white three-seater sofas and a glass coffee table in the middle. A big TV was on the wall, with bookshelves beside it. It was simple, just the way he ordered. The maids did a good job with the cleaning, and he was amazed at that. He gave them a short time because they needed to leave before they arrived. Three guards who helped with their luggage climbed down the stairs and stood before him. "We will be on our way, boss." The black-haired among them spo
____Two weeks later____Jasira had been discharged from the hospital a week and three days ago, and the scars on her chin were already fading thanks to the ointment Alejandro got for her. "I can't believe I'm going to the Bahamas," Jasira giggled as she linked her hand with Alejandro's. They had just gotten out of his SUV at his private airport, and they were ready to board his private jet. "And this is my first time flying a private jet also.""Really?" Alejandro patted her hair, and she giggled like a baby, an act she did whenever he patted her hair now, he wasn't equally surprised about hearing that but he just wanted to keep talking to her. "Yes, and I'm so excited." She nodded laughing and skipped forward, she wasn't shy to be happy before Alejandro again. He was gentle to her, and the coldness around him with her wasn't there anymore. All she could see when looking at him was softness and love, though the love part still scared her but other than that, she was happy with him.
Alejandro punched the driver seat headrest angrily, Maxwell was driving too slow for him, he used to be faster than this."Drive faster for fuck sake, are you a snail?" He yelled at him adjusting Jasira in his arms. He would have driven if he wasn't carrying an almost lifeless Jasira."I'm sorry boss, it's going to be okay." He increased the acceleration to a higher one, and the car flew through the highway skipping through all traffic lights, Alejandro wanted that but he was still not satisfied."Go as fast as you can, nothing must happen to Jasira, not when I'm yet to tell her how I feel." He didn't mind if Maxwell knew about his feelings for Jasira, he would scream to the world if that would wake her up. "Don't die on me Jasira," He tapped her cheeks softly and his heart broke feeling how cold her skin was. He shouldn't have left her side, maybe he would have noticed any stranges within her. He wrapped his trembling hand around her on his lap while chewing his lips, he couldn't lo
"We are done clearing the compound, it was a grenade theat exploded, they also messed up with CCTV cameras before throwing it in, and we were not able to get anything from them. There was no death except mini injuries from five guards." Alejandro gave a single nod to all that Maxwell listed. "Have they all been treated?" His cold voice did not correlate with his soft gaze. "Yes." "You can go for now." He ordered and Maxwell nodded before leaving the room. Alejandro's uptight shoulders fell as he heard the door closing.His eyes were teary as he stared at Jasira on the bed. Her head was wrapped in a bandage, a cut marred her right cheek and there was another scar on her chin, it was long enough to run along her chin to both sides of her underchin.He grabbed her hand in his, he was amazed at how small it was compared to his. "I promise to catch those bastards who harm you." His cold voice vibrated through the room. Maxwell was right, Fabiano's men knew Jasira was his weakness, and
Jasira arrived at her mother's__her house anxiously, coming here made her realize how much she had missed her mini house. She might have been living in a house bigger than this for months but still, she missed her house.She took a sharp breath before knocking twice on the door, she waited for her answer tapping her feet on the ground, she hadn't given it much thought that she was going to know the truth today. Everything that had been in darkness for years, she swallowed, that scared her. 'Was she ready?' She pondered. She had always wanted to know the truth but right now, she wasn't sure, she just wanted to turn back..."Jasira!" Her mother screeched throwing her arms over her, pulling her into a tight hug. Jasira was taken aback by that, she had thought her mother would be angry at her since they were fighting__hadn't spoken to each other for months."Mommy," She said, her voice soft and low as she wrapped her hands around her. They maintained the position for some minutes before p
"Did you notice that the guards on duty are double of what used to be there before?" Ava said scrubbing the white ties."Hmm." Jessica hummed scrolling through her phone while snacking on a chocolate bar.Ava glanced at her hearing her response, she shook her head and scoffed. "Seriously?" She snapped. "Will you listen to me!"Jasira dropped her phone with a laugh on the island where she was sitting "Okay ma'am," She raised her hands in surrender. "What are you saying?""The guards on duty are doubled or you didn't notice?" She rubbed her chin thinking before shaking her head. "I didn't notice, what's wrong with it?"Ava sighed dropping the mop into its bucket, "I don't know, it is so strange and did I mention it scared the shit out of me seeing men with bulky arms and broad chests."Jasira burst into a loud laugh. "I thought you loved them, why did they scare you?"Ava frowned at her pouting her lips. "Stop it, I'm not joking.""Come on, I'm sorry__" She was cut off by the beeping s
