Chapter 3
Caterina woke up with a groan. Her head was aching and her throat was dry as she had screamed a lot before she was smacked on her temple that had her unconscious.
She panicked as everything rushed back in her memories. She was going to leave for her aunty when Hugo and his men barged in and they shot her father and took her away.
“Papaaaaa.” She screamed as she tried to get up but realised that her hands and feet were tied up and she could only crawl in this cold and dingy place.
She could see it was dark outside considering the window showed no light from outside but it could possibly be a basement too as she could smell the wetness seeping in the walls. She somehow managed to crawl to a door as her eyes got used to the dark in the room.
“Somebody there? Anybody? Please help me. Please… is anyone here. Open the door please. i … I want to leave. Please let me go please.” She kept banging with her forehead but there was no one listening to her wails and shouts. She didn’t know how much time had passed as her headache grew unbearable and she fainted again.
She gasped and opened her eyes as someone had splashed cold water on her.
“Wake up princess.” she heard a cold voice from her left and a shiver passed her body to recognise the owner.
She turned to her left and gasped to see Luca sitting on a chair. She scooted back as if unconsciously but the smirk on his face told her that her efforts were fruitless. She could never leave this hole.
“Why have you kept me here? Please let me go. I need my papa. I want to go to him. We will never cross you, I promise. Whatever my papa did to offend you, please forgive us and let us live. We will leave the city. We will never mess with you”. She clasped her hands but all he heard was a loud laughter full of mock.
“What? Do you think you can bargain with us? What do you have to offer us huh? Your cafe is now owned by us, your flat is owned by us and your pathetic excuse of a father…. He…”.
“He what? What did you do to him? Where is he?” Caterina was shouting on top of her lungs when suddenly her hair was grasped in a tight handful and her head tilted upwards where she could see the depths of greens looking over her.
“Shut.up”. Hugo put a finger on his lips and she would have shut up even if had not growled.
“Your father borrowed a hefty amount of money to open the cafe and to buy the flat above it and I gave him as much time as he wanted but not anymore.
I had asked him to hand over the money he took but he couldn't arrange it.
I opted him for a 75% share as payment but he tried to run away from me.
How stupid could he be to think that he could leave me? I know of every ant that crawls on earth. I can hear every leaf that falls off the tree. And both of you thought you could go just like that?
And now I took everything back that I once gave. No one deserves my mercy. I am the king of this city. And especially not those who betray me.
You will live here from now till I tell you. I will use you however I like and then I will feed you to my men once I am done with you and let me tell you, I never fuck the same woman twice in my life.
So crawl while you can but once you are in my bed, you will pray for death every single moment and it shall never reach you”. Hugo spat on her face before pushing her away and strode of the room.
Caterina was crying in anguish. Her heart was in pain for herself and her father. She wanted to hide herself but she had nowhere to go and she was already praying for death.
—--
“So what do you think?” Luca asked Hugo once they settled in his office.
Hugo didn't say a word clicking buttons to turn on his computers.
“What is the update about the payment from Bratva?” He asked Luca who sighed and opened an app to show the payment details.
“What about the next production of the hand grenades ordered by the Mexicans?”
“Two thirds done and packed. Rest in process. We have time till the end of this week and I am sure it will be dispatched before that”. Luca informed and this time he got a humm of approval.
“Lock her in the maids quarter in my wing. She has to clean up my room and do my laundry. Tell her to cook my meals and I don't want to listen to a single word from her.
Understood?” He waved his hand in dismissal because he knew Luca would do everything he said and then some more.
—--
Caterina had presumably dozed off to sleep when someone opened the door with a loud bang, making her startle.
“Move”. A guard pulled her roughly before cutting the zip ties from her hands and feet so that she could walk.
“Where are you taking me?” She protested weakly but the guard didn't say anything. He kept on dragging her until they reached to the opposite side of the room where she was kept captive.
She saw maids and servants moving around in uniforms but no one spared a glance towards her.
She didn't know how she was even walking because apparently her body was all limp but suddenly the guard stopped in front of a room and threw her inside.
“You will stay here until your next order. You will do whatever the boss orders. There are uniforms hanging inside the closet and a few other clothes. Your bag is placed in the closet too with everything we got from your room.
You will not step outside the mansion. You will be provided with food and everything required, but if you speak a word, you will be dead”. The guard spoke in a cold tone and went outside, locking the door behind him.
She slumped down on the carpeted floor, crying for the umpteenth time in the last 24 hours.
“I want water”. She knocked on the door but there was no answer. She stood up on shaking legs and turned to search for a washroom. She could quench her thirst but for the first time she was captured, her eyes shone with gratitude to see a pitcher of water on the table.
She filled the glass quickly and gulped down the water, spilling on her dress as if she was afraid someone would snatch it from her.
Once she had her full of water she sat down again on the carpet, thinking about what would happen now.
The guard had told her that she was supposed to clean and do house chores but how and when was she supposed to start?
She somehow realized that she had to wait until the next orders and till then she had nothing to do except ponder about what happened to her peaceful life.

Chapter 4 stm Hugo was reviewing the files when he heard a knock on the door. “Come in”. He said without lifting his eyes from the document he was reading. “Sir, Caterina is here”. He heard his maid speaking before he waved her off and she left, leaving Catering alone and trembling. “The left wing is mine. My bedrooms, gym and office. You have to clean them, do my laundry and cook meals for me. The chef will provide you with the menu. I need my place pristine in the morning and make sure you don't linger around. I have two guest rooms too by the left of my bedroom and usually I have guests with me. You can have your break at meals not more than an hour and then I expect you to wait for me in the living area. Understood?” He spoke in a cold tone. “But I…”. “And I expect you have received your uniforms and I want you in the uniform from dawn to dusk”. He continued. He could see her fidgeting at her spot from the corner of his eyes. “You may leave and start your work”. He dismi
Chapter 5 stm Caterina was nervous. The backyard was filled with hundreds of people. She eyed them nervously as the butler handed her another tray of appetizers to take to the table and serve to the guests. She had never dealt with so many people although she was running a cafe with her father for years. The slacks and shirt was already making her uncomfortable and those heels. And not to mention the tray was filled to the brim. She managed to hold it and serve the guests one by one, ignoring the wandering hands and people mocking at her. She bit the insides of her cheek to hold her tears back. She wanted to shout and stab every hand that moved on her body without her consent. She wanted to make sure not to offend any guest because she was surely scared of Hugo and Luca. It was her fourth trip from the bar to the table when suddenly someone pushed her purposely. She tried to balance herself but failed. The tray fell off her hands and splashed on a few people surrounding her. It
Chapter 6 stm“She needs bed rest for at least a week. She is low on nutritions and strength. I am prescribing these medicines and she needs to take them”. The doctor held out a prescription for Caterina as Luca gestured to Gerald to get it. “Hmmm”. Hugo only grunted. This whole situation was displeasing him. He hated to admit but since Caterina had started working for him, his left wing would be sparkling and squeaky clean. Her food tasted better too but now with her put on rest, he was getting irritated at the thought of having Martha again in his wing. No offense, she was good with what she did but again, Caterina had spoiled Hugo without knowing a bit. “Ask Martha to get on work but make sure to stay out of my hair”. He pointed at Luca and turned to go to his office. He wasn't focused on his work although he had to gauge potential clients for his new business venture. But his mind was occupied with Caterina. There was a certain innocence in her that would always leave him di
Chapter 7 stm Hugo was busy these days. Caterina had not seen him for over a week or maybe she missed his presence. He had turned into a ghost. Caterina would do her work as per routine but since he wouldn't come home, her work load was far less and that would give her plenty of time to think about the things she didn't want to. For instance her father …She had not heard of him since the day she was taken from him and she would often worry about him. Well not often, all the time, but mostly her mind would be so occupied with the daily chores that she won'pay attention to it but now… She was sitting in the living area, aimlessly looking out of the windows when the elevator door opened with a ping. She jolted and turned to see Hugo entering the apartment but what scared her was Luca holding a bleeding and unconscious Hugo. He must have been hit multiple times or maybe it was the blood. She screamed looking at him but one glare from Luca was enough to shut her up. “Call Marco”. H
Chapter 8 stm. Hugo woke up with a groan. His vision was blurry and he could feel his eyes swollen. His head was throbbing too. He licked his dry lips and tried to swallow but his throat was dead parched. He tried to move around but his arm was held to stop him from moving around. “Don't move sir. You are injured and you have temperature”. He heard a low familiar voice. He turned slowly this time and saw Caterina sitting on the chair by his side. She had a thermometer strip in her hand as she removed the towel off his forehead. He instantly missed the coolness on his forehead that was way comforting. He saw as she dipped the towel again in water and squeezed extra water out and placed the towel back on his forehead. “The doctor had arrived and had examined you. He said you have to take proper bed rest for at least a week and you can eat light food. Would you like something to eat sir?” She asked him and for once Hugo was short of words. “Water…. Please”. Hugo said in a scratch
Chapter 9 Hugo sighed in relief when he was settled on the couch in the lounge. He turned on the TV but kept it mute. The change of scenery was already refreshing and he only wanted to add to the ambiance but wasn't interest in listening in watching whatever going on the tv. He nodded at his staff who were dutifully doing their chores. He was relaxed but his mind was stuck at a specific girl whom he havent saw since he came in the lounge. He tried to subtly sneak around with his eyes but not even a single sight. ‘where did she go’? He thought to himself, trying to get himself busy with his mobile to check the underworld chatting. Everyone had heard about the ambush on Hugo and it was clearly pissing him off. He had to face all this insult just because of a pussy.He picked up his phone to call Luca and ask about any update but just then he saw Caterina coming out of the room. He didn't check if Luca had picked the call or not and hung up the call, staring at her. She had taken
Chapter 10 stmHugo had to take complete rest for at least two weeks before he was cleared to work. In that week if there was someone who had to really test their patience, it was Caterina. She had to bear all the mood swings of her boss aka Hugo. Sometimes he was so calm and relaxed, friendly if you might say, and other times he was a wild lion, ready to chop anyone's head off. Even Luca grimaced looking at the scattered lounge because Hugo couldn't find the tv control that was apparently placed right in front of him. Despite the fact that Luca didn't like to lose, he admired Caterina's calm personality, how she handled Hugo. But among all the chaos, there was one thing Hugo felt. His heart change towards Caterina was so powerful and real that he got scared of himself. He tried to call girls to divert himself but he couldn't make it happen, not that he was answerable to anyone, he felt he wasn't doing right. It's like you want a certain brand of whiskey and it is placed on the hi
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 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
