*Lucia*

I've always known that Bruno is a merciless, cold, and heartless man. But I had never thought I'd witness his brutality. How could he have killed that man so ruthlessly? And now his filthy bloody hands were all over me. I knew the man deserved it for all he had done to me, but a part of me still wished he had not died just like that.

"Bruno, let me go!" I demanded as we got to the room I had been in earlier. My voice echoed through the dimly lit room as I yelled at him in anger and frustration.

He was an enigma, a cold-hearted man dressed in a black tailored shirt with a few buttons undone and his sleeves rolled up. He dropped me onto the bed, and I gazed into his dark, cold eyes, which were slightly masked by the shadows. "Silly girl," he replied, a smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. "You tried running away once, and look where that got you."

My cheeks burned, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. It was true. My escape attempt had landed me in the clutch

    *Bruno* Lucia looked so surprised when I told her she would be my cook. It was obvious she didn't want to at first. She may wonder why I made her my cook. But I had my reasons for everything I did. "Why?" She asked, just as I knew she would. She was one curious being. How could I tell her that I wanted her close to me? As my cook, she was in charge of all my meals. "Since when do I have to explain to you, Lucia?" I asked her. She gritted her teeth as she had nothing to resort to. "I tell you what you do, not the other way round," I said sternly. There was no room for dispute. She frowned. If there was one thing that I have noticed about her, it was the fact that she hated being controlled. I wonder how it must make her feel to not be able to do what she wants, but at the same time, I couldn't give her all the freedom she wants now. I have to be sure that she will be beside me first before letting her make some decisions for herself. She swallowed her anger and spoke, "Did you eve

    *Lucia* My eyes moved from the green bell pepper at the side to the yellow. Seeing all of them clustered together fascinated me. It was a beautiful sight. I just couldn't get enough. Who knew this heartless mafia would have something this beautiful and charming in the house? "Well, that's so," my eyes moved to the side. I caught sight of a spider running to hide behind one of the plants. My heartbeat accelerated, frightened. I screamed and jumped, thinking it was about to run towards me. I missed a foot and began to fall backwards. I shrieked. Bruno quickly wrapped his hands around me, preventing me from falling to the ground. My hands moved to wrap around his neck swiftly for support. When I felt his hands around my butt, my hands widened. It was more embarrassing than falling. I pulled away from him quickly. "Are you alright?" He asked, concern written in his voice. It felt a bit warm to see him care for me. He was quick to protect me and though I hated to admit it, I liked tha

    *Bruno* I sat behind my desk, tossing the lighter in my hands before flicking it on to light up a wrap of cigarettes. I puffed out thick smoke from my mouth. These days, I have been in a good mood. My days revolved around coming to the club, running some underground work, receiving reports, and then going home. I made sure never to miss any meal prepared by Lucia. She was a really good cook. I assisted her sometimes in the cooking and noticed that she was slowly opening up to me. I cursed myself for not making her my cook on time. A knock on the door brought me back from my reverie. Rave walked in and stood before me. "Have you been able to find any trace of him?" I asked, and he nodded. Something unusual had happened in the club. One of the henchmen was killed in my club. The thought of it made me angry, though it has been a while since it happened. "Black Axe was found in a bar. He is still been watched by our men. We are waiting for your orders," said Rave. The curtain at t

    *Lucia* It took about thirty minutes to give Bruno first aid treatment. I couldn't help but wonder where he got the injury from. Did he get into a fight? But he didn't seem like one who could easily be beaten in a fight. I could feel his eyes on me all through, and I stopped myself from looking at him. I didn't want to make mistakes. When he kissed me, it was unexpected. His soft lips met mine, and he sucked on my lower lips gently. This wasn't the first time we kissed, but everything seemed to stop like we were the only ones in the world. He didn't stop, and slowly, he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to himself. I kissed him back with the same intensity. I hated to admit that I enjoyed it. I liked it when he kissed me. And that was when it dawned. Shoot, what was I doing? I scolded myself internally. I pulled back. His hands slowly moved away from my waist. "What do you think you are doing?" I asked him, wiping my mouth with my hands. "What does it look l

    *Bruno* Lucia stood in front of me in my office in the club. To think she would be standing there was something I had never expected as I always wanted her away from such places, away from men. But there she was. I did not want something different. After our kiss last night, I decided I wanted her to always be around me. Immediately, I told her about my plan. The door pushed open, and I gritted my teeth in anger when I saw Natasha walking in. Some bad timing she got. I could see the look Lucia gave her, like she shouldn't be here. She didn't seem to like her, or was it about the clothes Natasha was wearing? I squinted my brow. She wore a very short red dress which exposed so much skin. Her hair was packed to the side, and her face was adorned in heavy makeup. I took a quick peek at Lucia to see her staring intently at Natasha as she walked in. The room seems to become quiet. Natasha's step echoes in the room. She walked steadily towards me. All this while, I wondered what went o

    *Lucia* I felt a pang in my chest. Why did it feel so bad to see Bruno with another girl? And she was throwing herself at him while he made no effort to throw her off. And when she referred to me as a not-so-important person, he could stand up for me and defend me. He couldn't shut her up and tell her how important I was to him. Well, maybe I thought too much. Maybe I wasn't really important to him. If I were, he would have walked after me. After closing the door behind me, I rested my back on it. Come to think of it. This wasn't the first time I was visiting this club. I tried to distract myself by walking around. My chest still feels tightened. I stood a few feet away from the closed door. I could hear the music resounding from the speakers. Thinking about it made me feel like a fool. Bruno never said he liked me, and I, of course, felt nothing for him, so who hugs him doesn't matter. He could go about hugging whoever he wanted. I walked out of the little hallway. There were tw

    *Bruno* It felt nice to always see Lucia with me at the club. I made sure she was with me most of the time. I started to wonder if I made a mistake. Maybe she should have been my secretary. It wasn't too late to make her one, but I didn't want to seem like I was ordering her around. We spent a lot of time together, alone. We made out more, too. Her defense and resolve grew weaker and weaker with time. She likes me more than she thinks she does, though she is too headstrong to admit this. It was time to walk around the club for my usual inspection. I walked out, closing the door behind me. As I walked out, I looked around. Taking note of everything in the hallway. When I walked out, I noticed a small crowd gathered. The music was still on, but most people seemed more interested in whatever was happening there. And that was the receptionist position. I furrowed my brows. I walked towards the small crowd, wanting to know what was going on there. I placed my hands on the shoulders of

    *Natasha* When I saw Bruno attack a man because of a girl, I knew something wasn't right. This was so unlike him. The Bruno I knew would be quick to fire the girl even if she was in the right. But he was doing the opposite, protecting her. I felt a pang in my chest as I watched him lead her away. The Bruno I saw was one I had never seen before. His eyes had a fierce look, but when he looked at her, his gaze was as calm as the sea. I recognized the girl as the girl I had seen in his office the other day. When I entered the room, I saw the disappointment in Bruno's eyes, as if I shouldn't have been there. Like he didn't want me around, he almost went after her if he wasn't stopped by me. Seeing him protect her today, I knew my assumption was correct. He has fallen for her, but this was something I couldn't accept. No matter how hard I thought of it. I didn't want him looking at any other woman. I wanted Bruno all to myself. I don't mind having a relationship where we could only

    *Lucia* Three weeks passed by in the twinkle of an eye. Everything seems to be a dream. Bruno and I would have been married if it wasn't for Steve's unwelcome visit and me getting kidnapped. Sigh. It was a tough one. And I think I was affected by the kidnapping. We had decided to push back the time for our wedding. We haven't discussed the particular date but I hoped it was soon. I twitched my lips, staring out my bedroom window and getting lost in thought. It seemed like it had only been yesterday when Steve had stormed back into our lives and I'd been kidnapped, Bruno and I would have been married if it wasn't for Steve. I shivered just remembering everything I'd gone through being away and alone for so long. I couldn't even walk around the house without looking to see if anyone was walking behind me. Not to mention, I've also been feeling extremely nauseous lately. And I wasn't even on my. . . My breath stopped. I felt my heart pound as I rushed to the nightstand to pick up my

    *Bruno* It was the longest night of my life. I was finally able to bring Lucia home. Looking at her as she lay on the bed, her eyes closed, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I hate the fact that our wedding was interrupted. If Steve had not interrupted our wedding, then we'd have been in each other's arms. I squeezed the water from the small napkin I held and used it to wipe her face. Her white wedding gown was now brown. She had been in that dress all day. I helped her out of the gown. I didn't want her to be lonely, so I stayed with her all night. She kept tossing and turning. She couldn't sleep comfortably. That I notice. So I took her to the bathtub and placed her in it. She didn't wake up. She must have been so stressed, tired, and hurt. I had failed to take care of her. I dressed her up and placed her on the bed. My hands ached. It was past 5 am when I finally woke up and went downstairs. I had lost three men in the fight yesterday. I was hurt and wished I could go back a

    *Lucia* I had given up. I didn't think any miracle would happen. I just realized that this place I was in with Steve may be very far, a place Bruno would never have been able to figure out so easily. Steve had unexplainable joy in his eyes, as if the world was doing him the biggest favor by allowing him to wrap his hands on me. His grip around my neck turned tighter, and air seemed difficult; strength seeped away from me with each minute. But I never stopped struggling, even though it seemed fruitless. Just when I thought it was all over for me, there was a thud; Steve was distracted for a while. He turned to the door quickly, but that thud wasn't enough for him to let me go. But he didn't need to ask, he was soon wrapped and thrown away from me. Bruno. I felt I was seeing things; Bruno was here. Steve's grip around my neck loosened, and I fell to the ground. My hands wrapped around my neck as I struggled for air. “Lucia, are you alright?” Bruno asked, walking to me. I tried to s

    *Lucia* He sensed me coming with the rope, but it was too late to duck as I wrapped it firmly around his neck. He wiggled, trying to turn the table, and sure, he was strong, but I didn't want to give him the pleasure of seeing me weak or thinking he was stronger. The light dimmed. “How do you feel now?” I asked. He was low, and his hand was on the rope. I held him tighter. If I allowed him to overpower me for just one moment, I didn't know what he would do. He stopped wiggling. “Having fun?” He asked. His hands were still on the rope. “You bet,” I responded. “You may have to tighten this rope to kill me,” he says, struggling a bit. I liked the fact that he was struggling. “Okay, fun time is over,” he said. His hands moved to mine, and he pressed my hands. His grip was tight and solid. Then, one of his hands moved to the rope, and he easily moved it over his head. I put up a fight. I wasn't going to allow him to get away so easily. So, I quickly wrapped my hands around his ne

    *Lucia* His hands fell on the side. He ended the call before Bruno could ask for the location. I struggled on the chair where I was tied. “How did it feel to see your love? I know you've missed him, but don't worry, I'm sure he does too and will soon come to pick you up,” he said. His voice rang in my head. “I never knew your voice could be so irritating. Do you think Bruno is stupid? He will come for me, and you better be prepared,” I said, one side of my lips lifting to the side as I stared directly into his eyes. He didn't react to what I said. He tilted his head to the side and then straightened it. He burst out laughing, his laugh piercing the air. He flung his head from side to side, a big, wide smile on his lips. He was indeed a psycho. “You are being delusional. I wish there was anything I could do to help you. You think Bruno will come for you?” “He will. He always has,” I said, puffing my chest out despite the rope he tied me with. “Don't tell me you are scared of him com

    *Bruno* I furrowed my brows when I saw his message. This bastard, my grip around the phone tightened. “What does he want?” Rave asked, stepping close to me to take a look at the text. I extended the phone, giving him a better view but not leaving it completely. “What? He wants to talk over a video call. The nerve of him,” said Rave, his voice a little bit over the top. I dropped my hands to the side. “Let's give him what he wants,” said Jason, standing at the side. It's just a video call; it shouldn't change much.” He sounded sure that there would be changes or that the call would lead us somewhere. The curtains by the window on the other side danced in the air. “Do you even know what you are saying? You want us to agree with his terms, no. We are not going to make him feel superior. He won't tell us what to do," said Rave at the same time. He was facing Jason, who didn't seem to want to stop. “So you say we ignore his message and keep searching for Lucia ourselves?” Rave raised a

    *Lucia* My body felt sore all over. The last thing I remember was that I was hit on the head with a gun. Where the hell am I right now? I was laying on something hard and rough. I turned slowly; my body felt trapped in the white gown that I was wearing. I wanted to get rid of the gown. I opened my eyes slowly. It was dark. Wherever this place was, there was no single light. It was pitch black—that dick. I'll skin him alive. I cursed through gritted teeth as I tried to sit up. And the gown was making all my movements uncomfortable. I may not know where I was, but one thing was clear: it wasn't somewhere I'd like. And the smell. It smelled so much like rotten meat in condemned kitchen water. I almost threw up but held myself. I'll kill this idiot. He should wait and be patient. I won't end up here. I refused to give up. I believe that Bruno would come for me. I am confident. Bruno. I sigh at the thought of him. I sat, holding my legs to my chest and laying my head on it. I can

    *Bruno* I felt sore all over my body. I was lying on something soft. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Opening my eyes felt like a chore. I moved my fingertip. From the smell of the bedsheets, I knew I was in my room. I had a hard time trying to remember why I was lying here. Fuck. My memories came flooding back to me. I was supposed to get married to Lucia. We didn't get married. I opened my eyes. It wasn't as hard as it was before. It was as if I was filled with a different energy. The room was bright from the bulbs that hung in the middle of the room. I blinked twice in succession, adjusting to the light. Lucia Where was she? Why was I here? The last thing I remember was being shot and Lucia; I couldn't see her; I didn't know what happened to her. Did Rave come to save her? And that bastard, Steve, I'll rip him limb by limb. I sat up slowly, my shoulder aches to my hand. My hands were bandaged. This wasn't the first time I was shot; it wasn't much of a big deal to me

    *Steve* Since I watched Sarah die in front of me, I have always envisaged how Lucia would die. Although I had gotten the report from the autopsy done on Sarah, and they claimed that she had died from something other than the stab, I still couldn't bring myself to accept it if she hadn't met Lucia that evening if Lucia hadn't stabbed her. If she had not been pushed by Bruno, I believe she would still be alive. Someone needed to be blamed for her death, and Lucia would. I left Jason. Once he knew that Lucia didn't kill Sarah, he would surely take a step back and refrain from helping me. I didn't know what I wanted from him yet, but all I knew was that he was still very useful to me, and I didn't want to lose him yet. I bid my time. I was waiting for the perfect time to attack them. When I heard about their wedding, I thought that was the best place to visit them and settle the scores, so I went to the wedding. I didn't need to be invited. It was sufficient that I knew the venue. No
