Pain is crushing, agonizing, and merciless. It possesses the ability to shatter even the strongest minds, reducing them to fragments and dragging them into a pit of excruciating torture. Once it reveals its ugly presence, it ruthlessly sweeps away every trace of goodness like a vicious storm, contorting them against you.

It forces you to beg. It compels you to crumble. It renders you numb and void.

As her eyes slowly opened, a golden glow bathed the dark room, casting a fair illumination. Though her eyesight was feeble, distant sounds of beeping machines echoed in her ears. The dim lighting danced at the edge of her vision, unmistakably signaling that this was not her room. Machines didn't belong in her space.

It then dawned on Sarah that she found herself in the hospital.

But why? Her ankle has healed and so has her knee so why was she back here again?

Her head spinned as she tried to decipher what had happened to her.

Like a comet, the memories hit her.

She was shot.

    SARAH It's been three weeks since I got my gunwound. My eyes wandered around the large and beautifully trimmed lawn that covered a vast landscape of Emilio's mansion as the tires of the car glided in smoothly. I got discharged today and I couldn't be more grateful that I was now free and returning back home. Though my shoulder still felt awfully sore but at least , I am alive and recovering.Emilio never visited me for once in the hospital. Throughout my three weeks of staying that hospital, he never came to check up on me.It was like he had disappeared into thin air, like he never existed in my life. What did I do wrong? Pain clogged in my chest almost making it impossible for me to breathe as I meditated on the traumatic past events. I thinned my lip and pressed them into a thin line to avoid my sobs escaping from within.I begged that man to let me leave on so many occasions but he didn't. The bloody man couldn't sacrifice his stupid ego to listen to the maid he presumably 'bo

    SARAHFive days. Five excruciating days trapped in this gilded cage. My reflection in the antique vanity mirror mocked me, a pale wraith in a silk nightgown Emilio had "kindly" provided.Escape. It was the only thought that kept the suffocating fear at bay.I traced the raised scar on my knee, a souvenir from my last, disastrous attempt at escaping. Broken ankle, busted knees, and a concussion that had me seeing double for days. Recalling the disastrous escape attempt that had left me in the hospital with a broken ankle and an injured knee, I couldn't afford another failure. This time, my plan would be foolproof. It had to be. Failure was not an option.As I gazed out of the window, the moonlight danced on the edges of the curtains, casting a faint glow across the room.Tonight, I vowed to leave this suffocating mansion behind for good. My eyes flickered with determination, and my hands traced an imaginary map of the escape route.Over the past five days, I had become a spy in the ma

    SARAH“Turn left,” I said, jabbing my fingers towards the next turn as I craned my neck forward, my eyes searching for the apartment. We've been driving for over an hour, this was the farthest I could get from Emilio. It was also the safest since her house wasn't exactly easy to find. Heck I think I misled the driver like three times before finally getting the right turn. The tires rolled over the stones, making a crunching sound as he came to a stop in front of her apartment.It was a cozy little house nestled in a quiet neighborhood. This was Amanda's house. Amanda was an old friend from highschool. We weren't exactly best friends, but she was a really good friend of mine.She was the only person I could think of as the taxi drove into town. I heaved a deep sigh of relief when I noticed that the lights were on, the bright yellowish hue that painted one of the windows was evidence that at least somebody was home.I got down from the car and shut the door behind me, “I need to speak

    SARAHI blinked a few times as I awakened, I could see the outline of a few figures before me. My eyelids still closed for a second, and I felt my consciousness slipping away, then I cracked my eyes open. I was in a room with a very high ceiling, tied to a chair. I tried to move but I was bound to the chair, I couldn't move an inch. My fingers grazed another set of fingers and I realized that someone was tied up behind me. “Amanda,” I whispered and she raised her head.There were three men in the room, one was smoking a cigarette in the distance as he stared at us. The more muscular looking one walked up to me. “Sleeping beauty is finally awake huh?” He taunted as he hovered before me. I had no clue what was going on, but only one person came to my mind and it was Emilio. “Did he send you?” I asked. “What are you talking about?” The curly haired man's voice boomed from a distance., but I didn't turn to face him, I kept my eyes on muscle man. “Emilio, did he send you to come look

    SARAH My body still trembled from the shock of everything that had transpired within today. I was propped on the back seat of Emilio's jeep and he drove furiously and speedily on the road.I could tell he was livid, extremely livid and that only aggravated my fear.I took cursory glances of him through the side mirror and the exasperation in his eyes was enough to scare the wits out of me.I pressed my lips together and sobbed within me, tears flowing endlessly. I could have been killed today. If not for Emilio's timely arrival.Am I really that much of a badluck? I put Amanda's life at risk too. God. I sniffed my nose and curled myself up like a ball on the jeep's leather black seat. My clothes literally looked like rags on my body, my hairs were greatly disheveled. Dried blood stains coated a part of my cheeks and bruises decorated my lips. "What were you even thinking Sarah!? Do you know you could have been murdered today!" The words boomed from his lips as his nostrils flared w

    EMILIOTWO DAYS LATERI pulled my car across the street facing a bungalow in one of the suburbs of Cuba.I pushed open the doors of my car and watched my capos stride over to me.They had already arrived before me, surrounding the entire vicinity.I leaned against my car, making sure my gun was perfectly placed in my pants.A devious smirk curled by the corners of my lips as my mind began conjuring the various ways I'd have the fucker killed.I think I might just go full bloody on him.After the shooting ordeal, I swore to myself to hunt down whoever pulled that trigger and make him pay for the assassination attempt on I and my maid. His location had been uncovered and now, he had to pay with his life.He really had the guts to shoot at Sarah, Emilio Romano's maid. I'd make sure he regrets that decision.When my capos and underbosses informed me that he had being traced and found, I was expecting to see him in America but he really hid all the way in Cuba.Bloody fool."You sure he i

    SARAHMy eyes snapped open, only to find Grace hovering around me, her concern etched on her face. I jumped upright, startled, my body protesting in a burst of aches and pains. The remnants of the beating Emilio had inflicted throbbed with a dull insistence, a grim reminder of the nightmare I had endured. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. My body still ached from the merciless beating I had endured at the hands of Emilio."Sarah, you're finally awake," Grace said, sounding a bit too cheerful for my current state."Finally?" I questioned, my voice raspy, wondering why she was making it look like I had been comatose for years.She stepped closer, her eyes filled with concern. "You've been unconscious for two days.""Two days?" I repeated, disbelief coloring my tone. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had been out for that long.Grace nodded solemnly. "It was touch and go for a while there, but you're a fighter."These past weeks had been a blur of viole

    SARAHTWO WEEKS LATER "Jack I won.." I laughed triumphantly, clasping my hands together. Jack shook his head at me, "No you still owe me about a thousand dollars for spending the night at my motel" he replied, crushing my hopes and a frown morphed on my face."Guess I'd have to resort to borrowing from the bank.." I sighed."Or you go to jail" he gloatily smiled at me."Never" I smirked, watching him roll the dice on the monopoly game board. Ever since Emilio travelled two weeks ago to God knows where, my life has been totally peaceful.Free from stress, fear and unnecessary issues. Grace took care of me and Jack became a good acquaintance of mine. When he wasn't on duty guarding the gates, he would spend his time with me in the garden or in the library.We had so much in common.

He has actually become less controlling and more open to my ideas and thoughts.

    SARAHI struggled with my might, enduring the pain as I tried to cut myself free."Please....stop...leave me..." Emily begged frantically as Nikolia gropped her breasts and pressed his weight down on her body.The sight had me teary, my fear rising tremendously. Fuck. Cut goddamit.And then it snapped loose! Triumph surged within me.Quickly, I picked a rod lying on the ground and used it on an unsuspecting Nikolia.He staggered back and dropped to the ground, groaning in pain, "what the fuck!" He screamed, his hands clenching tightly onto the back of his head which now had blood gushing out.I couldn't afford to hit him anymore, his men must have heard him by now and they are probably on their way. My heartbeat was erratic as I freed Asher and Emily from the clutches of their ropes."Sarah..." Emily gasped, crying even hard. "Take Asher and run. Run into my car. The key is there! Drive away from here and don't stop. Just be safe please" I instructed."I can't leave you" she protes

    SARAHTHE NEXT DAY "Emilio I have to go now" I remided him for the umpteenth time but Emilio was not having to hear any of it.I had stayed over and last night was so memorable. Emilio made love to me the entire night like it was the last time he'd ever see me.I was aroused time and time ago, my breasts fondled and sucked, my thighs parted and positioned and my pussy dripping wet with juices he eagerly sucked clean.Fuck.He pulled me back to the bed just when I thought I had freed myself from his grasp, "Just one more hour Amore mio" he cooed in my ear, nibbling unto my earlobe.I smacked him playfully and bit my bottom lip, "You never do get enough do you?"Emilio pressed his lips on my collarbone, making me let out a little moan. "I haven't had you for two years. One day wouldn't satisfy me. I need to fuck you everyday" he raspily said."I really can never get enough Sarah" he added, his hungry fingers already trailing underneath my shirt.I closed my eyes for a brief second, r

    SARAHTWO WEEKS LATERI stared at myself in the mirror, combing through my hair. Today was the day Emilio expected my response, and he was sure not expecting a no. I had thought about it endlessly. I wanted to be with Emilio, but this time things would be different. I wouldn’t let him think I was weak, someone he needed to protect. I survived two years without him, almost died in childbirth, and I wouldn’t let him ever toss me out of his life again.Emily knocked lightly on the door before stepping into the room. “Hey, Sarah. The driver is here, and Conrad is already in the car. Are you ready?”I turned to her, nerves fluttering in my stomach. “Yeah, I’m ready. Just… feeling a bit anxious.”Emily walked over, giving me a once-over. “You look amazing, Sarah. Hot, even. Emilio won’t know what hit him.”I laughed, shaking my head. “Thanks, Em. I hope you’re right.”She came closer, her expression turning serious. “Listen, whatever decision you make today, I support you. Don’t be nervous.

    SARAHThe evening was quiet, with the kind of air that made you reflect on everything, no matter how hard you tried not to. I sat on the porch, my mind tangled in my thoughts, when Emily walked over, noticing my deep thinking.“Hey, deep in thought much?” she said, sitting down next to me.I forced a smile. “Just a lot on my mind.”Emily raised an eyebrow. “Do you want to talk about it?”I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of my confession about to pour out. “Have you tucked in Asher?”“Yes, he’s asleep,” Emily replied softly. “What’s going on with you? You seem really off tonight.”I hesitated for a moment, then decided to just let it out. “I met with Emilio.”Emily’s eyes widened in surprise. “What did he say?"“He said quite a lot,” I began, my voice fluttering slightly. “He reached out and we met up. Well he forced me to. He said he had to explain something important.”Emily leaned in, clearly intrigued. “Well? Hope he gave an apology?”I took a sharp exhale, struggling to fi

    SARAHAs I approached the huge doors of Emilio’s mansion, my stomach churned with a mix of dread and uncertainty. The towering was in front of me, bringing back memories I had tried desperately to bury. I clenched my fists, willing myself to remain composed. It had been three days since Emilio had asked me to come over, and every second leading up to this moment had been filled with doubt and anxiety.Standing before the grand entrance, I hesitated. Memories flashed before my eyes—laughter, arguments, moments of tenderness, and the pain of my last time here, the shame I felt, the way his guards threw me off without any sympathy. I felt a wave of nausea, the urge to turn around and run kept ringing in my head. But I was here now, and I needed to get this over with.Gathering my resolve, I knocked on the heavy iron door. Almost immediately, it swung open, revealing Emilio. His presence was as commanding as ever, a mix of charm and authority that left me both intrigued and wary.“Sarah,”

    SARAH I paced to and fro around the house, my heartbeat at 360 beats per minute. Man if anything happens to Conrad, I don't give a fuck I'd literally call the cops on Emilio. We hadn't heard from him in three days ever since the day Emilio barged into my home unannounced and also had his men stalk me and drag me to meet him.I just know Emilio is behind everything.I mean who else has such an audacity?Emily has been worried sick about him. I don't ever want Emily to suffer because of me. She has done so much for me. She stood by me, supported me, helped me patch myself up and she has been that shoulder I can always cry on. It would be so cruel of Emilio to cause her any form of pain.She was there for me when he wasn't! Both she and Conrad.Why is Emilio doing this to me? Does he want to seperate me from everyone I love? What sort of a man is this!?Emily currently was not home. She rushed out without saying a word to me after she received a strange call.I opted to follow her

    EMILIOThe sanitary smell of antiseptic filled my nostrils as I stood in the hospital ward, my heart pounding in my chest. I glanced at Luca and Alessio, their faces also filled with the tension and anticipation I felt. We were all waiting for the doctor to return with the final results.When the doctor finally walked in, holding a sheet of paper, I could barely breathe. He looked at me and nodded. “Mr. Emilio, the test confirms it. Conrad is your brother.”I couldn't believe it. The hospital lights felt too bright, too sterile for the intensity of what was happening. I stood there, staring at the DNA results that confirmed it once again: Conrad was my brother. A flood of emotions washed over me—shock, relief, and an unexpected surge of happiness.Shock ran through me. Despite the previous test, a part of me wouldn't fully believe it. But now, with this confirmation, the truth was clear. Luca and Alessio exchanged glances, both looking as stunned as I felt. Conrad, on the other hand,
