*Bruno*
I walked back to take my seat behind my desk. Although I had killed her, I still felt my anger within me. I had trusted her, something I never did. I wore the earphones on my desk and listened to some conversations that were held in the club. Seeing nothing to worry about, I took it off and stood up. I was tossing the lighter in my hand. Maybe I should have had her tortured before making her eat the food.I sighed.I didn't plan to sleep in my private chambers tonight. I would go back home. I had a lot of things to sort out. My eyes moved from one nude painting to the other. I saw a piece I liked and wanted to add to my office. I made a mental note to remind Rave to get them for me. I walked out of the office, placing my lighter in my pocket.I decided to take another walk around the club before returning home. I was already stressed and would like to relax early, but not without fucking an ass. I was already feeling a little hard as I watched a man fucking a sweet ass. I didn't like fucking sweet ass, not that I had anything against them or was in any committed relationship; I just didn't like to share. I wouldn't want any other man to touch a girl I fucked.My eyes searched around the club for Natasha. She was one sweet girl. She wasn't the only girl I fucked, but she was my favorite, she knew how to make me feel good. She was usually at the club at this time. I didn't dwell too much on it. Other girls would offer their pussy to be fucked without me asking.I stepped out of the club and walked towards my car in the parking lot. As I got closer to the car, I saw a lean figure in my car. She had her back in the car. I knew immediately that it was Natasha. She wore a short red dress, which perfectly accentuated her curvy figure. Her cleavages were perfectly exposed, allowing me to take a quick peek at her breast."I thought you wouldn't be coming today," I said when I approached the car. She wore red lipstick and had a gum in her mouth. "I decided to wait for you here; I knew you would return home tonight," she said. I opened the door and stepped inside, and she did the same.I ignited the car and drove out."We've not seen each other for the past three days. Did you miss me?" She asked, turning her head to take a quick peek at my face. One side of my lips pulled to the side. Though she was my favorite girl, I didn't think much about her."How was your trip?" I asked instead of answering a question she already knew the answer to. I sensed she was a bit disappointed at my question. What the hell was she expecting?She went on and on about how her trip went.Natasha ran a small business that involved selling guns and ammunition. She traveled to Russia three days ago to take care of her business. I didn't hear the things she said as I was not interested in knowing the full details of how her trip went. As she spoke, her hands moved to my shoulders, and slowly, she moved them to my thighs. I took a deep breath. I couldn't wait to have her under my sheet screaming my name. I drove as fast as I could, overtaking other cars in front of me.Immediately, I stepped into the room and locked lips with Natasha. I didn't take her to the room where I slept, but to a room I called the unholy room. No females were allowed to enter my room except the cleaners. I kissed her roughly, tasting every inch of her mouth.She moaned into the kiss.My hands trailed her body as we moved slowly to the bed. Slowly, I took off her clothes piece by piece. My hands were quick to hold her breast, and I gave it a light squeeze. My dick was hard, and I pressed it on her. I let out a low groan, lost in my fantasy. Her nipples were hard and pointed. I bent down and sucked on it while I rubbed the other one in a round motion, "holy shit," she moaned.We now lay in bed. Soon I sat in between her tight and placed my dick on her pussy. I thrust quickly, "fuck me harder," she cried. And I pounded on her faster. My lips found her, and I kissed her passionately.After a session of pleasing and exploring each other, I laid my back on the bed. Natasha put on her clothes and walked out. I didn't bother sending her off. She would take a taxi and either go home or to the club.I stood up and walked to my room.Stepping in, I closed the door behind me. I walked into the bathroom. Warm water fell in contact with my skin. I stayed under the shower for a long time before leaving it. I had a towel wrapped around my waist. I walked to the side of my room where my alcohol was stored and took a bottle of vodka.I held a glass and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The City was bustling, although it was already past midnight. I stood there for a while, slowly sipping on my vodka before returning to bed.I had barely slept for three hours when I heard a knock on my door. I released a subtle breath of irritation. I sat up slowly and rubbed my eyes. It could only be one person, Rave. Rave is my cousin and the only one who knew the password to my house. I didn't sleep early every day; it was the first time in months, and Rave didn't want me to enjoy it at least.After a few seconds, I stepped to the door and opened it, "it better be important," I said to him as I took significant strides to my bed. Even if he were my cousin, I wouldn't mind throwing him into my underground dungeon if he had nothing important to say."Of course, it's important," he said, stepping inside and shutting the door behind him. I nodded, a sign that he could go on. He wrecked of alcohol and cigarettes, which was clear evidence that he was coming from the club.He inhaled a shark breath, "The two men who had broken into the warehouse on the outskirts of the city had been caught," my brain registered the words he had just said, and I stood up and changed quickly into something more comfortable. "Where are they right now!" I asked."In the underground dungeon," he replied.I was pleased with his hard work. I had entrusted the job of finding the men to him two weeks ago when they attacked my warehouse. I must say they hid themselves very well, as it had taken Rave and his men some time to get the men. "Take me there immediately," I ordered, and then we stepped out and walked towards the dungeon.My underground dungeon was made specifically for torturing people who think they can get ahead of me. Anyone who offends me is immediately thrown here. I can promise you one thing: it is the last place anyone would want to visit. I walked down the stairs that led to the dungeon, one of my hands dipped in my pocket.The dungeon was lit by torchlight from torches in iron sconces. I walked from one ceiling to the other; my shoes clicked softly on the dirty stone floor. The ceiling was empty, but not without the bones of the offenders that lay on the floor. I finally stopped in front of the ceiling that held the men who stole from my warehouse.We were separated by the iron bars. Chains were fixed on the walls. One of the men lay on the floor unconscious. He had blood all over his body; chains bound his hands and legs.The only conscious one quickly grabbed the iron bar, "please spare, please; I promise to tell you whatever you want to know," he said."That was faster than I expected," I moved closer to him. My eyes fixed on him like a predator ready to devour its prey. "Then start talking. Who sent you to my warehouse?" I asked, my voice dangerous yet calm."I don't know. We didn't see his face, just his hand," I squinted my eyes. Was that the information he had for me? Seeing my not-so-pleased expression, he thought for a while before adding, "he wore a ring on his hand; yes, I remember perfectly,"I smirked."Is that all you have to tell me?""That's all I know. Please spare me," he kept pleading. I suddenly felt my trip to the dungeon was wasted. He would surely pay for wasting my time. I turned back and started walking away, "do to him as you see fit," I said to Rave. I kept walking with my hands dipped into my pocket. I heard the man's loud, painful scream as I stepped out from the dungeon.***I sat in the car beside Rave later that night. My day has not been the best. After leaving the dungeon earlier, I couldn't return to sleep. I had stood in front of the window with a stick of cigarettes stuck between my fingers. I stayed before the window till the sun rose from the sky.I had no cook and couldn't make anything for myself. Rave himself was hopeless as he, too, couldn't cook. We had gone out for breakfast. My mood has been unstable. I yelled and fired over ten staff from the club today for the tiniest mistake they made.Rave noticed it and asked to go out. He said it would help calm me as if I told him I wanted to be calm. "I already owned a club; where else do you want me to go?"I asked him."There is an auction being held today. It would be good to go and spend some cash; who knows the valuable item that may attract you?" He said. Auctions for Mafia lords weren't like regular auctions where goods were sold. The items Rave referred to girls who were sold off as slaves or sex workers to the mafia lords.After much persuasion from Rave, I finally agreed to go with him. I wasn't a fan of auctions, and I could count the number I attended on one hand.The auction started immediately; the hall was filled with proud and arrogant mafia lords. I sat at the back with Rave sitting next to me. Girls of different ages were brought out one after the other and sold off. The auction was getting boring when she stepped in.She had fewer clothes on than the others.Her breasts were exposed. Her eyes were fixed on the crowd. It kept moving around as if she was searching for someone. My eyes took her entire figure in but lingered on her exposed breast. I could see some men ogling at her. She was indeed a sight to behold."Ten thousand dollars," someone yelled."Twenty thousand dollars," another said. The prices went higher. My eyes were fixed on her. A tear escaped her eyes and slid down her exposed breasts. She tried to wipe her face, but it barely worked as her hands were tied with ropes.Her gaze finally landed on me. I looked at her with a straight face. She quickly diverted her eyes and kept them down. I smirked. I had already been captivated by her from the very beginning. I guess Rave was right. There was an item that could entertain me. I wanted her. I knew I had to bid a price no one could beat to get her."One million dollars," I said calmly.I could hear the gasps from the crowd. They couldn't hide their surprise at the amount I planned to buy her. Well, it was my money, and they had no say in it. As expected no one could beat the price."Gone," she now belonged to me.My eyes moved from him to the girl I just bought. I noticed that her legs were shaking. Before she could be handed over to me, her legs gave way, and she fell on the stage unconscious.*Lucia*When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a car that sped past the road. I blinked simultaneously. From the corner of my eye, I could see a man sitting close to me; he kept a straight face as he quietly discussed things with the driver.I couldn't hear what they were saying. I tried to adjust my body quietly but couldn't; I felt a pang of headache. My stomach rumbled quietly, and I placed my hands on it. I was starving. I noticed the piece of cloth that was used to cover my chest. I felt grateful that my exposed chest was covered.I still felt dizzy. Like I sense before falling unconscious. I tried to keep my eyes open as we drove but couldn't. Everything blurred. Slowly, I closed my eyes, and everything faded.The next time I woke up, I was in a room. I was all drenched in water that had been splashed on my face. I sat up immediately, rubbing my eyes as I tried to adjust to the dark room lightened by a dingy blue bulb.I cursed whoever splashed water on me in my head.Just wait; I
*Bruno*I took a long look at her before stepping out of the room. I could see she was conscious of me. She had taken a step back. My eyes lingered on her breast, which had been exposed some time back. I wonder how they would feel under my touch. I didn't want to stay for another moment, so I walked out of the room with Rave. We closed the door behind us. I took slow and steady steps down the stairs, my hands trialing the rack. My eyes moved around my sitting room. I had decided to bring her home. Don't ask why I bought her because I still have no answer to that question.Either way, she has piqued something in me, but I still can't place my hands on it.I took a seat on the chair at the side. Rave sat opposite me. He was quick to light up a cigarette. He puffed out smoke through his mouth and nose. I stared at him briefly before moving my eyes to the wall clock at the side, which ticked slowly. I felt thirsty. I wanted something to drink. I stood up and walked to take a bottle of alco
*Lucia*As he stepped back and walked towards the door, I suddenly thought of an idea. Why not try to repurchase yourself? Since he said he owned me, there should be a way to buy myself. So I caught hold of his hands. Who would have thought that it would end with him pinning me to the wall and staring pervertedly at me? I had seen his eyes on my chest a few times, but right now, it felt so uncomfortable. I placed my hands around my chest. He must be dreaming if he thought he would have his way with me."What are you looking at?" I asked. I was scared of him, but I tried not to show it on my face. I tried to look bold. But I was sure he could see through the facade I was wearing because he had a slight smile on his lips. I wanted to slap that stupid smile off his face. For a while, he didn't respond. He just kept his eye there. Should I push him to the side? I thought. But what if he puts a bullet across my head?His eyes slowly left my chest, and he trailed it up my face. "Why do you
*Bruno*I wanted to walk on the rooftop but didn't know why I needed to be in her presence. I barely slept last night. She had been on my mind all through the night. I sighed. This wasn't normal. When she walked down the stairs, my eyes went to her but had returned to my newspaper immediately. I didn't want to give her the impression that she meant something.We walked on the rooftop. I walked in front of her. My phone rang when I was about to tell her why we were on the rooftop. It was Rave. I wanted to ignore it and enjoy my time with Lucia, but I decided against it. I walked to the side and placed the phone on my ear. I was out of earshot, and she couldn't hear me."What?" My eyebrow raised when Rave dropped the information he wanted to tell me. "So what are you doing about it?... Oh, this evening?... Of course, I'll be there…" I said and hung off. There was a serious matter to take care of so I'll be going to the club this evening. Should I take Lucia along with me? I wondered. I
*Bruno*I stepped out of the room. A part of me hoped she was fine and had not successfully ended her life. I walked down the stairs; my shoes clicked sharply on the floor. When I got down, I looked around. One of my men was at the side. "Where is Lucia?" I asked, my eyes settled on him for a while before moving away to look around. "Did she leave the house?" I asked him. I had my doubts. I trusted my men to obey my instructions, except they wanted their heads rolling on the ground."No, I've been on guard since you left, and she has not taken a single step out of the room," he said.I looked past him. She could not leave as she didn't know the password, even if there were no guards. All I was afraid of was her doing anything stupid. I had instructed them to remove anything that could be used as a weapon. I took hurried steps back to the room. I pushed open the door and stepped in. The room was empty, but nobody was there. The window was locked, which meant that she had not jumped out.
*Lucia*As I watched Bruno walk out of the bathroom, my chest tightened from anger and embarrassment. Aside from Jason, no other guy has ever held me naked. My cheeks were still burning from the embarrassment. I gave it a quick clap. I stepped Into the shower and raised my face, allowing the water to warm my face. I took a deep breath and went back to scrubbing my body. I wanted to get rid of any smell from Bruno.When I saw Bruno in the room, I was surprised. I don't know what is wrong with him. He spoke many hurtful words, but I resolved never to allow them to break me, but I couldn't. He was, after all, right about everything he said, and I was already broken.The rest of the day went by quickly. I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. There was nothing I could do but count each second as it passed. I didn't know if I should be happy that I got to have enough rest or sad that I was locked up and treated like a prisoner.I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I kept tossing and turnin
*Bruno*As I walked out of the dungeon, I swiped the blood of the man I just killed off my hands. Rave walked beside me with his phone in his hand. "Take care of the body," I said to him without looking at him. I caught a spy amongst my guard today. I found out something was off in the club two days ago. I felt someone was selling out information about me and the club. The fool thought he could hide, but like a dog, I had sniffed out his smell and fished him out.I wasted no time in throwing him in the dungeon. It wasn't very smart of him to think he would not get caught. He had been lip-tight at first. Refusing to mention who sent him, he was a loyal dog. But loyal dogs, once caught in the wrong traps, do not live to tell the story of what they saw. After a bit of torture, he opened his mouth and spilled every information. Although he tried not to mention any name, I could still tell who his boss was. After spilling out everything, the son of a bitch thought I would allow him to live,
*Bruno*I must have looked like a madman at the moment. I had driven at lightning speed home and ran upstairs to her room. Without thinking, I walked towards her, and before she could comprehend what was happening, I pulled her in for a kiss. The towel around her body dropped to the ground. And her breath hitched into my throat. I wanted to control myself as I kissed her, but I couldn't. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her closer to me. Her lips were soft. Too soft and too sweet. I could kiss them for eternity."Mmm mmm." She struggled and hit me numerous times, but tonight, I am surely not letting go. I knew she would not give in easily, but I was sure she would soon. I grabbed the back of her head tighter as I pressed her body against mine. My hand trailed upwards, feeling her naked skin, and suddenly she shivered, and that's all it took to rile me up even more. What is it with this girl? Why does she tend to invade my thoughts, control my state of mind, and now my bod
*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
