Chapter 18Francesca's POV."Arghhhhhhh!!!", I cried for the umpteenth time, but I was too tired to shed tears.I rolled on the metal table, but the nurses held me down with no remorse as the doctor pushed the metal hanger into my womb through my vagina and pressured the foetus in me.My eyes were spinning in different directions.My tummy felt like it was being punctured by hot, molten metal.I was dizzy and restless at the same time. Each movement the doctor made in my tummy send sharp waves of pain through my whole body like an electric shock."We're going to try one more time", the doctor said through his mask and pushed the metal up my tummy again."Fuuckkkk!!!", I wailed and groaned in anguish and agony, but there was no one by my side to calm me down.The owner of the baby and my first love was away in Brazil, with other women.My father was out drinking as usual, because he was too annoyed to see the sorry excuse of a childI couldn't afford a standard abortion, so I had to pa
Chapter 19Francesca's POV.This had to be the eeriest ride I'd ever been on in my life, and I hated it.After the chaos that happened at the wedding, the wedding could not continue as it was supposed to.Every participant had found their exit to save their life, both the audience and the pastor. Was it safe to say that I technically wasn't married to Enzo?I looked over to him, and I didn't know whether to be surprised or feel insulted. It was barely four hours since the wedding, and there he was, his head buried in work on his laptop.I was confused as hell, and the more I thought about everything, the more the migraine threatened to knock me out.My mind wandered to the party spoiler, Emilio.What worried me more than getting married to Enzo, was getting married to the brother of Emilio. I'd fought so hard to bury all the bad memories that he caused me. I'd done so well all these years forgetting my first love experience, and immediately I set my eyes on him, all that effort went
Chapter 20Francesca's POVHe shut me up with a kiss as he finger fucked me.His fingers kept finding sweet spots I didn't even know existed, and I felt myself reaching climax."Enzo... Don't stop... Just... Just keep going...", I was this close to orgasm when his fingers suddenly stopped moving.I opened my eyes to see an evil smile on Enzo's face. "Wh... Why...", I was too breathless to even show my annoyance. Why the hell was he teasing me?"You don't tell papi what to do", he whispered in my ear, and before without any warning, he dug three of his fingers into me and began fucking me with more intensity."Enzooooo", I cried in pleasure and prayed that he wouldn't stop this time.His hands kept going deeper, and my legs kept growing weaker."Whose bitch are you?", He grunted in my ear as he doubled the pace.The amount of pleasure that vibrated from my coochie made me unable to talk and process anything in that very moment."Whose bitch are you?!", He growled. "Who owns you?!!""Y
Chapter 21Luna's POV"Thank you for coming... Thank you for coming... I hope to see you again on our next fashion show", I bade the exiting audience goodbye as they left the building.Tonight has been one of the biggest nights for my career. I'd been planning this fashion show for months. It wasn't just any random show. It was an elite exclusive party, showcasing pieces that could only be afforded by the wealthy, and so only the wealthy could show up.I knew how much I made financially, and how much this had helped my career."Phew", I smiled at the success that I'd pulled off tonight."Girl, this show was amazing!! I didn't know you could pull this off!!", My friend Porsche exclaimed in excitement at the turn up.I had a tired smile on my face as I found my place to sit in the empty auditorium."Honestly, I think so too. I'm just happy things went as planned", I replied with a sigh."You know what? This calls for celebration! The girls are already waiting for us at a bar not far fro
Chapter 22Enzo's POV.“I can't believe this…”“Is he really here…”Isn't he supposed to be enjoying the honeymoon? Why is he at work…”I walked out of the car and into the building, and each person I walked past bowed in reference. But I could see the shock on their faces and the murmurs behind me expressing their surprise to see me at work, barely twenty-four hours after I got married.Well, it’s not like the wedding was completed…I walked into the conference room where my presence was needed for the meeting to begin and they all rose to acknowledge my presence.“Good morning, boss-”“Keep your greetings and give me a run down of the details of operations we've had this month”, I muttered immediately as I took my seat.Xander, my second in command, remained standing and began speaking.“We've managed to acquire new assets worth 70 million this month. We've also expanded our business by 25%. We've been able to sell 200 million worth of arms and drugs in the last two weeks. We've als
Chapter 23Enzo's POV.I signed the last document for the next shipment of arms, and I sighed immediately as the cugine left the office. I'd worked for hours, and my eyes were dry at this point.I was doing everything to get out of my head, but it was almost impossible.The fact that Emilio was back was still unbelievable and was a problem for me.After impregnating a young teenager and being unremorseful about it, I suggested to father to cut him off, but he didn't. He still hoped that Emilio would come to his senses and he put him in a rehabilitation center in Brazil. It didn't come as a surprise to me when I said that he was spending the nights at the clubs, and had managed to impregnate three more ladies. They knew his status, so they did everything to keep the baby. Father had to go through extreme lengths to get rid of them and drag Emilio's ass back to Italy. We all thought that he was going to feel bad and ashamed, but he wasn't. Father did his best to train him into somethi
CHAPTER 24Francesca's POV.“Thank you very much…”No. That sounds too low for me.“I didn't know you would hold your own part of the bargain. That's good of you…”Now, that was way too arrogant, even for me.“I need you to know how much I appreciate your help…”That sounds inauthentic.I groaned and stared at the ceiling fan, confused and frustrated. I'd tried to have a conversation with Enzo, but we hadn’t talked since the wedding night. By the time he came back home yesterday, I was already asleep.Now he was in the bathroom, and I was unprepared to tell him thank you for helping me. I needed to come up with something before he'd-I heard the shower turn off, and he walked out of the bathroom with only a towel tied around his waist.I opened my mouth to say something, but all the things I'd rehearsed faded from my mind immediately. My tongue had somehow turned to an immovable blub of cement, and all I could do was to gawk at his body.He had conspicuous marks and scars all over his
Chapter 25Francesca's POV"You know...", She said and slowly began roaming the kitchen aimlessly, "I thought Enzo was joking when he told me he'd taken a cheap prostitute like you as a wife, but he wasn't. I don't know why he took you as a responsibility out of nowhere, but I know it's definitely not because he loves you.""Wh... What's that supposed to mean?", I tried to question firmly, even though it was evident that I was shaking."Oh, you didn't know?", She looked my way with surprise on her face. "Enzo is married to the game before he's married to any woman, Francesca. This life that he lives comes with too many commitments for him to be committed to any woman - talk less of a bitch like you", she stared at me with disgust in her eyes."He's gone too deep. He's killed many people. He's destroyed too many lives for him to experience or even give someone the tiniest piece of heart. Whatever he's doing with you, is probably just knee high. Something to distract him and take his ey
Chapter 85 FRANCESA“ Enzo.” I gasped.I was shocked to see him, he was standing by the side with a shaky look. He didn't look sick, I judged the look in his eyes, he looked like he was about to run mad.Just as I stood by the side, shaking with blood all over. I was traumatized, I saw the head of Emilio, he was peeping at me from the side. This made my breath hitch, I didn't know what he was doing but based on the look in Enzo's eyes, if he saw him then he wouldn't help me but he would join hands with Paolo and beat the living death off my body.So I mouthed, “ E- N- Z- O” It was slowly, he understood and his eyes widened in shock as he ducked and placed his head back into the hole. I let out a sigh of relief, then I looked at Enzo, I looked at him with a burning look and in a moment, he leaped to my side but he didn't hold me, he held Paolo by the back.Everything was getting chaotic, he wasn't letting him go and the guards were concentrating on him but they didn't come closer. T
Chapter 84 ENZO I shook all over as I looked at my father, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared at my father without batting an eyelid, I was shocked to the bones, I laid at the dead body that was right in front of me.Blood.I felt nauseous, I placed my hands over my mouth, trying to stop the vomit from leaving my mouth as I glared at him.That was the nurse, the nurse that I had sent off to go look for my father. He killed her, I just watched.Francesa looked relieved to see me.What did he do to her? She was bleeding, there were scratches all over her face, her lips were bleeding, her head had an injury.And I was sure it was Paolo.He did this to me and now he was doing the same to her, he was becoming a beast. He was the worst, I couldn't stand looking at him as I snarled, walking over the dead body with a heavy heart.My leg mistakenly stepped on her face, shutting her eyes that were wide open.This made me feel more nauseous, I glared at him, looking at the men that he had ga
Chapter 83 ENZO I woke up with a bitter taste on my tongue.“ Water.” I called out in panic but my voice reverberated in the room, there was no one there. I thought it was just my ears, my eyes couldn't fail me so I looked around and to my despair, there was no one there.I was left alone.I felt my eyes burn, the hot tears spilled off my eyes in panic. This was the first time I felt that way, so I called out softly,“ Francesa.” It was soft, barely a whisper, though I didn't know why I thought she would be here to care for me.But she wasn't, she wasn't here for me and I couldn't imagine where she was. My hands moved to the bedspread, grasping it in my grip as I cried softly.My eyes burnt and my chest ached.I was in the hospital, I didn't want to be here. I screamed out, trying to find my voice and get someone's attention but I only succeeded in pulling out the syringe that was tucked into my skin then the blood splattered and my veins constricted as I whined in pain.“ Oh God.
Chapter 82 FRANCESCA “ What?” I exclaimed in shock, jumping off the ground as my legs shook but I ignored the pain as I asked, “ What's wrong with him?” She totally ignored me, looking at Paolo as she said to him, “ He needs you.” That was embarrassing but seeing his cold voice, he didn't look like he cared as he said, “ He's not a child. Why does he need me?” The nurse was stunned, we shared the same reaction as we said, “ But-” He didn't let me continue nor her, he shut me up as he said, “ But nothing. There's nothing you could say that would make me leave here.”He turned to me as he made a clear emphasis on his last sentence, that made me remember the situation I was in right.Crap!I stood still, if he didn't want to leave then I would. With that, I turned and walked off from where I was standing, I tried to pass him but he held me by the arm and pulled me back, “ Where do you think you are going?” He showed off his teeth, his eyes thinned to show how serious he was.That
Chapter 81 FRANCESA“ It's not what you think.” I said, I was breathing really hard as I stared at the door, Paolo stood at the door with his men as they held their guns.“ What do I think?” He said in a threatening manner as he looked at me, I was speechless, I didn't know what to say to him as I looked on, breathing heavily.I stuttered, I couldn't find the words.I looked around, he wasn't there. I sighed in relief, closing my eyes as I thanked God, then I felt a tug on my leg, I didn't want to move.I knew who it was down there, I didn't need to look, that would make it all suspicious and I had Paolo's eyes on me.“ What is it?” He asked, I shook my head, moving down slowly from the table as I tried to manage my legs that were shaking from the pleasure that I had experienced previously, I kept my head up and tried to keep my breathing steady.I needed to act normal though I wasn't.But if he found out, I could guarantee Emilio's safety but I couldn't for me. He could blow off my
Chapter 80FRANCESCA“ Francesca Ferroro.” My mind went blank, I looked lost in his eyes, at bliss and the firecrackers set ablaze as they sparked in the air and filled the sky with their colors. They were bound less.My world stopped for a second, the world stopped and my breath hitched at his words as I looked at him. His words still buzzed in my mind, it kept on throbbing and echoing. It made me question myself as I gulped, looking at him.“ What?” I asked him, looking the other way as the red crept up my cheeks. I didn't understand what he meant, he smiled and laughed. Realization dawned, nausea kicking in my veins. I felt used like he didn't mean it and it was just a mere mockery that I had fallen for so I looked the other way. When he saw my look, he laughed harder as he cupped my cheeks, pulling my face to rest on his forehead.“ Don't you understand English anymore?” My ears rang from his words, I shook my head as I said, “ We shouldn't. We can't.”“ Why can't we?” He exp
Chapter 79FRANCESCA “ Emi-” I gasped, I was not able to finish my words as he gave me a slap on the face. My face moved to the side, I stared at him in shock. I thought he had brought me into this room for sex, it turns out that it was because of this.But what exactly? He wanted to beat me. I pushed him, sneering at him as I spat at him and said, “ Leave me the fuck alone, Emilio.” He didn't have the chance to shut me up, I brushed against him as I pushed him to the side and was walking to the door. He ran after me, grabbing me by the hand as he aggressively twisted me to the side and pinned my body against the sharp edges of the table. There was little space for me on the table, moreover; I was thrashing and kicking, I wasn't going to let him do this to me.Bang! He pushed off all the documents on the ground, scattering them and destroying them. He was making it obvious that he was here.He picked me up, hurling me on the table as my back slammed against it and there was a cra
Chapter 78FRANCESCA “ Do something then.” Paolo commanded, blowing at the top of his gun that was letting out smoke. The doctor shook, he went pale seeing his lover in that condition. I'm sure he has never expected it to happen looking at the look on his face. He shook. Like there was nothing inside of him then he looked up dramatically and started walking at the speed of lightning. He fell to his knees, holding the bare cables that let out sparks. He pushed the clothed side, infusing the wires together as he made sure that they were intertwined.The machine suddenly gasped, propelled by force and power. Enzo followed suit, his eyes popped open as he clutched the bedsheet.“ Oh.” I gasped weakly, letting go like I was about to fall off because my body moved back slowly and I looked frail. I looked frail, like I had no energy. But luckily, I was caught from the back by Stefano. He placed his hands on my waist, I looked up at him, biting my lips as I pushed him away.“ Don't you fu
Chapter 77FRANCESCA “ Stefano!” I gasped, running to him as I held him by the shirt, shaking him as tears ran down my face in anger. I didn't know what came over me, I had no sense of reasoning as I hurled his body to the wall and rammed him over again with anger and gritted teeth. “ Why! Why?” I asked in disbelief, I couldn't believe that he would do something as devious as this.He looked surprised, his mouth was ajar, he just stared at me as he didn't understand what was happening. His hands were raised, he looked at me innocently with no words, it made me feel bad. I let him go with a thump.He was surprised, pulling himself off the wall as he asked me with a stutter,” What was that for?” I didn't answer him immediately, I was still catching my breath from what I had done to him. I was breathing harshly, holding my chest as I pointed at him in disdain, disgusted by the way he was being nonchalant.So I asked him in clearer terms, “ Did you do this to him?” He looked at him, h
