Chapter 11 stm “Did you go to college?” Hugo asked as they were enjoying ice cream while the TV was playing in the background. “No. I had just finished the high school”. She replied in a low tone. “You wanted to attend college.” Hugo didn't ask. It was clear from her expressions. “Yes. I did. I wanted to get a degree and then work with my papa”. She said with a longing this time. Hugo saw her playing with her ice cream now. Her expressions gloomy and Hugo didn't like it a bit. “If you got a chance, what would have you mastered?” “Baking. Culinary. I love baking and I wanted to be a chef”. She replied in an excited tone. “You know I have been baking since I was four. Back then I used to mix and bake with the help of mama but then I learnt it myself. I would spend all my free time in kitchen, mixing ingredients and making new things. Papa would be my guinea pig. He would taste all de shaped cookies, tasteless or sometimes over sweetened muffins. One day I accidently put salt in
Chapter 12 stm“So this will be the learning room as they told me and the other will be practice room. Your teachers will start from day after tomorrow, Monday at 9 am. I had ordered new set of cutlery for you, aprons and everything they listed. Now check and tell me if you need anything specific”. Hugo turned to her with a glint in his eyes. Of course he had not missed a single spot but why Caterina wasn't as excited as he was expecting. “Yeah. Thank you”. She said in a low tone, making him frown. “Look at me”. He ordered her. “Wasn't it your dream? So if I have built the foundation for you, why aren't you happy?” He didn't know why he was angry. “I… I am happy sir… it's ..”. “It's what? What's going on? You were as excited as a kid on Christmas when we discussed the layout. And now it seems like I have burnt your kitchen to ashes. You want anh changes, spit it out”. He was on the verge of snarling. “No. It's…”. “The fuck Caterina”. He grasped her upper arms shaking her. “Wha
Chapter 13 stm Hugo had divided her tasks to the other staff so that she could spend three hours learning and practicing her passion. But she had to make sure that she would prepare breakfast for him and dinner too. Caterina was really excited on her first day. Hugo had personally accompanied her and introduced her to the chefs. Her eyes open wide to see the people she only saw in five star Michelin restaurants and now having them in front of her was a dream come true. Though Luca was still unhappy about the settings, he wisely chose not to say a word against. Hugo left for the office once he was satisfied with the dealings and Caterina had all set in front of her. The best thing she felt was the Chefs preferred performing live rather than teaching her. She felt bit sad when the day was over but the next day was promised, and that was the motivation she needed. She went upstairs in the penthouse, changed and although she had time to prepare dinner so she started practicing the s
Chapter 14 stmCaterina felt her heart was empty. She had not left her bedroom for three days. She would eat whatever the staff would bring to her and close the door again. Hugo was watching it all. He didn't know how to deal with her. He could tackle an angry, furious, laughing, joyful even scared Caterina well, but not this sad and gloomy. He heard the staff whispering about her, pity and sorrowful words and he didn't like it a bit. She was strong, she had always kept her hear up no matter what, so she shouldn't let those words from her papa effect her too. He wanted to restore her dignity and self respect and he knew what he had to do. He picked up the plate of lunch the staff prepared for her and took it to her bedroom. He knocked once and opened the door after a low YES from inside. She was sitting on the windowsill, overlooking the gardens in a distance. The bed was wrinkle free as of she had not slept on it. And she might had not. “Damn. You stink. I want you to take a b
Chapter 15 stm Caterina has rejoined her cooking classes with a new passion. She had a goal now. She had her cafe now and she had decided to save every penny and then return it to Hugo. She was a quick learner and Hugo was highly aware of it. Every night she would serve him a whole course meal and he would lick his fingers. From salads to main dish and then sweet dish. He loved everything she cooked and even Luca had made a habit of joining them for dinner, even if Hugo approved or not. Hugo, who was never find of vegetables, would now eat them and actually liked them. Caterina was surely a great cook. “No more. I cannot eat a single spoon now”. Hugo put his utensils down. He was full to his nose but the cold Tiramisu was tempting him to no limits. “Good. More for me then”. Luca held the dish only to be smacked by Hugo. “Don't you dare. Take your slice and leave. God, you gonna spend my groceries in one week”. He faked annoyance.“Yeah yeah, like I am the one cooking five star
Chapter 16 stm Caterina had fallen into a routine. Her classes to practice, running for her cafe redecoration, Hugo had sent his men to help her however she wanted and she was actually thankful to him although that meant spending less time with Hugo. It was just another ordinary day. She had finalized the list she had to purchase for the kitchen to get it running back and provided her recipes to the staff who would currently work. Hugo had messaged her that she could take a cab because his boys were busy doing some business. She refused the offer since the restaurant wasn't at a secluded place, also it wasn't that late at night so she made three coffees, chocolate chips croissant and decided to take a walk.She had crossed one block before she was pulled into a dark street. “What….” She screamed in horror but a prick on her neck made her aware of the naked knife placed. “Please let me go”. She whimpered in fear. They were two boys with black masks on their faces. One had pinned h
Chapter 17 stm“Water”. Hugo heard a low murmur and only if he wasn't paying attention to her, he could have missed it. He picked up the water suggested by the doctor and went to sit by Caterina on the couch. He pulled her to his shoulder to support her while feeding her water sip by sip. “How are you feeling?” He politely asked her once she was settled. “My head hurts”. She said in a low scratchy voice. “That's because you were hit hard. The doctor told me it will take a couple of days. Do you feel nausea?” “No. I am thirsty”. She slightly shook her head but that made her wince. “Easy there. You need to be very careful. You were in a pretty beat up state when we picked you up. You need complete rest for at least a week”. “But my cafe”. “Don't worry about it. My people will run it for now. Just rest for now”. He softly patted her hand as she was drifting back to sleep. Once she was asleep, Hugo adjusted the blanket on her and took his seat back on the coffee table where he wa
Chapter 18 stm“Sir you need anything from me? I was going to my bedroom now”. Caterina knocked at his office door and entered only to see him hunched over his laptop. “Huh? Uh. No. Infact can you make me a drink please? Something strong”. Hugo rubbed his temples slightly. Caterina looked at him with a little concern in her eyes. She was observing his routine for a part few days. He was busy head to toe and sometimes she felt she was living with the ghost of a man. She made a drink for him and placed it in front of him. “Thank you. You can take rest now. Tomorrow is a big day for you”. He smiled, remembering that she would be getting her licences to work professionally. “I can manage that. Let me help you”. She softly spoke, standing behind him. Hugo didn't understand for a while but then her soft finger pads pressed against his temples and he groaned deeply. Her fingers were magic, pulling out strings and strings of pain from his temples and winding them away. She moved her ha
Chapter 29 stmHugo was working in his file in his office when he heard a knock on the door and Caterina entered his office, wearing his tee shirt and sweats. “Are we wearing my clothes now?” Hugo smirked. “Well, I like them soft and baggy. Also they smell of you”. She replied with a shy smile. And as always Hugo felt his heart skipping a number of beats by her being so clear about her emotions. “So you like surrounded by my smell?” Hugo stood up and rounded his desk to where she was standing in the middle of the room. He lifted her chin up to look straight into her eyes. She gasped to see how his gaze had turned dark with just one sentence from her. “Yes. I do”. She could do anything to make him realize that her feelings for him was not a show off. That she was being honest.“I like it too”. Hugo bend down to kiss her hard and fast, stealing her breath away. He pulled away after a while, controlling his urges to just bend her over his desk and fuck her senseless. “So, what are
Chapter 28 stm“So tell me what happened that day?” Hugo asked Caterina once they settled for the night. She had taken her medicine and food and was feeling much better. “Can't we let it go?” She looked at him with pleading eyes. “Look, we can ignore the elephant in the room but at some point we need to address it. It's new, it's fresh, you can tell all details without missing anything important. This will help me tracking down everyone if we missed anything. So please. I know, it's painful. You felt betrayed and deceived. I know it still hurts. But it's important for both of us. The doctor told me you will suffer from nightmares and trauma and you need to let it out. That's why I am insisting you to tell me”. Hugo held her closer in his embrace. She sighed, feeling safe already. “I had already made sure that my cafe was ready to be re-inaugurated this weekend. I was actually thinking to ask you and invite you to cut the ribbon for me and bring all your men for the first day. I
Chapter 27 stm.“So what are you going to do now? Want to visit Vittori”? Luca asked but Hugo shook his head. “Not yet. Bring Jerome to the ring.” He went to the elevator with a smirking Luca behind him. “What? Wan to settle the goal?” He asked Hugo with a grin, making him grin too. “No, I am just restoring my energy before I face Vittori once Caterina is awake.” He laced his fingers together to crack his knuckles. His mind was still echoing wth the words of the doctor. She had been touched and tarnished all by her own father. Involved or not, he was the cause of it and Hugo had promised himself to avenge her, in her presence. He had forbade his men to give any food or water to Vittori. Not at least Caterina show some mercy at her father, but he would brainwash her to stay as merciless as she could. He would train her that the enemies would fear her name. But he knew he had to stay patient for her, no matter how hard it was. They reached the basement where the ring hall was tur
Chapter 26 stm. Hugo parked the car at a safe distance. The jungle was silent except the few night animals hooting and howling at a distance. The trees were dense that no light could reach the earth. He looked around to see his men hiding at places as he got whistle signals in his ear piece. “Boss the place is a forgotten warehouse. It's to the left to where you are standing. Around forty feet. They have planted their men in spots so we cannot park closer”. Hugo nodded as one of his men gave him the detailed report. “Are you sure our tagret it here?” Luca asked in his earpiece. “Yes Boss. The signals are blinking inside”. He affirmed. “We need to be in touch and proper co-operation from everyone required. Shoot anyone you see, leave Vittori for me. And search the area if we get any hold of Caterina”. Hugo ordered everyone on the coms. “Let's go Boss”. Luca gestured him to move as his men made a barricade and marched towards the warehouse. .They were trying to be as quiet as t
Chapter 25 stmCaterina didn't know what time or day it was. She had not seen her papa again. She would get a meal once a day and water. She faced so much humiliation and embarrassment when she first time asked for a washroom break. She had to pee in front of those lustfilled dirty gazes but she had no other choice. Her clothes were torn and dirty at places. She didn't know if her father bluffed about asking ransom money from Hugo or if he was even interested to pay that much amount for her? Her arms and legs would pain continuously and she was sure she would have caught infection. The swelling around her eyes were less than before and she could picture then in ugly shades of yellows and purples. Her lip and cheeks were cured on their own feeling the crusty skin around them, but everytime she would stretch her lips, she would feel the coppery taste of blood on her tongue. At this point all she could do was pray in her heart to either be rescued from this awful place or die. There
Chapter 24 stmCaterina woke up with a groan. Her body was aching. Her head was throbbing. Her eyes were swollen and she could feel something sticky on her cheeks and head. She tried to touch herself but her hands were tied and so were her feet. She looked around to see if she could find out where she was but her eyes didn't allow her much to see. She hung her head lose and tried to remember what happened. She had closed the cafe sooner than she expected because it was all remolded and ready to be open again and she had it all planned. She ordered two coffees from the cafe nearby and thought to take a walk home when she felt someone tapping on her shoulder. “Yes”. She turned to see a girl standing behind her. “Do you mind if you have a change of ten dollars?” Caterina smiled at the girl and nodded her head but the next thing she knew, she was hit hard on her head and before she could see who it was, she was hit again and she lost her consciousness. She didn't know how much time
Chapter 23 stm Caterina woke up to an empty bed. Hugo’s side of the bed was spotless and cold. He had not spent the night with her and left the bedroom at some point of the night. She sighed as she sat up in the bed and winced slightly. Though Hugo had taken her just twice, those two times were really overwhelming for her. She felt he had still stuffed her pussy with his big cock. The thought was itself so erotic that she blushed hard.“Something interesting?” She heard Hugo entering the bedroom in only sweats. “I. Uhm…. No nothing. I uh… I should go”. She pulled off the sheets around herself and stood up to leave for her bedroom. Hugo tsked in disapproval.“Is there something I missed last night that made you wrap yourself”? Caterina blushed even more at his words and it wasn't hidden from Hugo. He stood in front of her and pulled the sheets off her. “Never be conscious of your body. You are so beautiful that it took all of my control not to fuck you while you were sleeping on
Chapter 22 stm “Does it feel good?” Hugo asked as Caterina leaned into his arms. The tub was actually big enough for both of them to relax. “Yeah it feels good”. Caterina told him with a smile. She was moving her fingers on his arms placed at the edge of the tub. “And how was your first time sex?” Hugo asked again. “What? Do you want some ego boosters”. She said playfully, making him smile too. “No. I just want to know your honest reply before I am ever put into a competitive position.” Caterina frowned at his reply. “Competition? With whom?” “In future when you meet someone else. What would you tell him that you had this mind blowing sex or below average?” He was apparently talking in a calm tone but Caterina could hear all signs of warning in his voice. “Well, it wasn't below average considering the fact that you almost punctured my lungs and I feel extra thirsty with how many times you made me orgasm. But honestly, I don't think you would ever be a part of this discussion
Chapter 21 stm Hugo had made sure to stretch her fully, something he never bothered in his life. He had made her cum so many times at his fingers and tongue and was dying to get inside her, still one more orgasm on his tongue sounded a great idea to him. He was lapping her inside wall while rubbing her clit and altering between fingering her pussy when something happened that Caterina had not felt through the night. She squirted. Hugo who was eating her up was shocked for a moment before a grin spread on his face. He pulled himself up and Caterina saw how his face was wet with her juices. “What…. What was that”? Her body was trembling, her legs still shaking with whatever happened to her. “That was a golden shower, piccolo. You squirted”. He didn't bother to wipe his face, instead he pinched her clit hard to arch her in his arms. “Go…golden shower. What is it?” She asked with those doe eyes that his heart fucking thawed out. “This means now you'l are ready to take me”. He held
