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 26Stefano's POV.We watched as the doctor applied the last touches on her wound before applying some bandage on it."I think she will be just fine after this. We've sterilized the cut, and all we can do is to wait for the healing to take place-""That's not what I brought her for, doctor. I brought her here so you can do the healing. So I don't have to wait. Isn't this one of the best hospitals in the whole of the country?"The doctor gawked at us, evidently dumbfounded. "Well, I can't really control...""Stefano, cut the man some slack. He's done the best he can. I told you there was no need for you to take me here in the first place", Francesca tried to give the man some breathing space.I dismissed him and we sat there in the room for a while. "I wish you would've let me come at that crazy puta. I can't believe she still wants to be in his life", Stefano cursed."I want to ask a question..."I walked over to her and gently raised her head with my finger on her chin. "Anyt
Chapter 27Francesca's POV.His simple statement managed to suck air out of my lungs.It was as though time stopped, the only thing in this world that existed was him.I slowly lifted my gaze and stared into his polished black, scary eyes, hoping he was trying to make a joke with it.But it didn't look like he was trying to be funny.What kind of joke was this?Was he just trying to prey on the fact that I might still be in love with him, or did he mean the word he just said.I stared into his eyes, and now I couldn't look away. He moved a step closer to me, and I couldn't feel his breath on my face. He could hear my heartbeat. How could hear how irregular and fast it was going.Cold beads of sweat began to form on my head, and my hands got colder."Emilio...""Tell me that you don't want me. Tell me that you don't have feelings for me anymore, and I'll take a step back. I'll walk out of this room and never look your way again", he said in a daring manner.I opened my mouth, planning
Chapter 28Luna's POVI always hated Stefano from the beginning.It wasn't until today that I had a solid reason to.If not for him, I would've written my name on that bitch's face with that kitchen knife.I knew I would not be able to calm down until I got some alcohol into my system, so I went over to this girls only party a friend invited me to.I'd stayed hours here, and I was getting tired. Everyone was having the time of their lives, but I was drinking to forget the fact that Enzo was marrying a cheap whore over me.I was about to leave when I got a call from an unknown number.“Hello? Who's this?”, I questioned, but the music from the party was too loud. The reception was also bad, so I decided to get out of the building to get some network.I usually didn't take calls from unknown numbers, but I assumed that it was a contact from Barcelona asking me to help them for their fashion show, or a television channel asking for an interview.It wasn't until then that I realized that
Chapter 29Enzo’s POVI tried Stefano's number with my right hand while my left hand was handling the steering wheel, but for some reason, it wasn't going through. A lot of things were going on right now, but I needed to be sure that Francesca was safe.I thought of quickly heading over to the mansion to make sure she was alright, but I couldn't leave my group in a critical condition.I immediately drove into the warehouse and met Xander on the stairs.“Thank goodness. I was just about to go find you. There's serious trouble”, he expressed his worry.“Walk me through the situation as detailed as possible”, I ordered as we headed to the conference, where an emergency meeting was about to be held.“I got on the phone with our shipment head, and he informed me that the goods sank in the ship. Also, ten of our men who were waiting at the border were killed brutally, with body parts missing.”I could take the missing shipments, but one thing I couldn't forgive was the death of my men.I i
Chapter 30 Enzo’s POVAt the sight of Emilio in the same room with us, every single soldier in the room whipped out their gun and aimed at him.“Woahh! I suggest you think twice before doing that, so this young promising cugine's future doesn't come to an end.I didn't know to be surprised or pissed. The fact that this son of a gun could show up here after what he'd just caused us was what enraged me even more.I walked over to him and pointed my gun to his head, my finger on the trigger. “Give me one reason why I shouldn't sacrifice this boy's life for your own death.”“Well, cause you're going to lose a lot more than the poor boy if you kill me. I've given the Cassano members details of your other shipments coming from Istanbul, Morocco and Peru. They're diligently waiting at the borders to intercept and take over the goods. If my heart stops beating right now, they'll have an automated signal from this ankle lock to go ahead with the mission.”A part of me wanted to call bluff,
Chapter 31:Enzo's POV I sat there, in the same spot, casually enjoying the leisure given to me. Francesca was back here, she was in my room because I didn't feel safe keeping her in my house when I spent so much time here. I was occupied by my thoughts when I heard a shriek, it was followed by a gunshot then I saw her flash past myself like lightning.It looked like she didn't actually see me because she passed by so fast as she ran to my father's study room and I could hear her yell from the place I stayed. I watched with anxiety creeping over me, I didn't know what to expect. Luna wasn't one to back down unless she faced a real challenge, she would fight until her head was gone in that battle.Worst of all, she was with a gun.I heard rapid gunshots, it pierced through the air and this was the time I heard my father's shrill scream asking for help. Without thinking, I ran upstairs but just as I was about to open the door. It clicked, I wasn't with a gun or anything so I made a
Chapter 32: Enzo's POV I walked out of the room with a bleeding heart, I didn't know what to say or what to expect from the fight. I knew my father to be a man of his words and he would never stand down whenever he said something. I guess I just turned everything away for a woman, a woman that I knew nothing about. She was just a stripper and a sexual worker and I didn't understand her. But my heart throbbed for her, it wanted her and my dick pulsated at the sight of her naked body. I wanted her more than anything at this point. I wanted to be coated in her pussy juice and forget all my worries.This was all I thought as I walked down to the room, I walked into the room. I watched everywhere with cautious eyes, I wanted to notice something that seemed out of ordinary but there was none.Everything was put into place, I walked to the wardrobe, pulling it open with force like I expected something to pop out.There was nothing. I left that, clicking the complicated press codes that
Chapter 41 FRANCESCA “ Oh!” I gasped, I didn't expect this. This was a huge blow, then it hit me. I didn't get my phone or anything and he just left me here. I hurriedly pulled the door open, I ran out with no thoughts. The pebbles on the ground pierced my foot, I then realized that I had nothing on my leg. I forgot to put on anything and the floor was scorching hot.“ Oh fuck.” I cursed, it hurt like hard sex. I felt that my fresh skin was being burnt.. I walked on my heels with the corners of my eyes closed.I walked to the side, using the corners of my eyes to look for his figure. I couldn't find him, I closed my eyes again due to the pain only to bump into a hard surface.“ Fuck! Did I bump into a wall?” I asked myself cluelessly, pulling my eyes open and looking only to see Enzo standing there. He held a stick of cigarettes in between his fingers, he looked at me snobbishly. He wasn't the bit interested about me, I walked closer to him…showing my foot. He shrugged, turning
Chapter 40 FRANCESSA “ It's not what you think.” I said softly. My hands clung to his shirt, my eyes were filled with doubt. I didn't know what he was going to think. I didn't even want to consider it, I looked down, chewing on my lower lips like a kid. “ Okay.” He gave a cold reply. Just that? He didn't have any questions about what he just saw outside. That made my heart throb, I didn't understand him at all. We reached our room but before we got there, we passed Paolo's chambers, I could feel his energy through the door and his creepy eyes piercing through my skin. I shuddered unconsciously.I also gasped. I turned my head, looking at the window to see if he was there because the gaze was just too strong on my back. “ Oh Jesus.” I exclaimed, I looked eyes with his pure white balls and his mouth ajar.I closed my eyes, Enzo turned to look through and I could feel his fist tightening under my waist. It poked on me, I moved uncomfortably.“ That old geezer.” He cursed, a sigh
Chapter 39: FRANCESSA“ Enzo!” I called out almost immediately, my eyes flew to the door in fear. I acted so fast, I quickly arranged my dress and tucked in my boobs so I didn't look out of places.Oof. I let out a sigh of relief, pouring out warm breath to push out the strand of hair by the side of my face. I couldn't wipe away the trickles of sweat on the trails of my forehead. So I was faced with that as his first question, “ Why are you sweating?”I was stunned, I had no words. It was more like the cat got my tongue because I couldn't say a thing aside from looking at him and he stared right back at me. He let out out a cackle, seeing my frightened self. “ Where's father? Don't tell me y'all were fucking in here.” I gulped, my eyes looking around and my nose twitching. I couldn't help but think if sex had a smell. Oh fuck. I didn't know what to do, I had to come out with a smile that soon turned into a laughter as I looked at him like he was a joker. This was the exact ti
Chapter 38: FRANCESCA “ Please.” I muttered softly under my breath, turning to him with pleading eyes.He flashed me a smirk, showing his fangs and rotten tooth that were about to fall off, a foul smell floated right in the air after being emitted by his mouth. I wanted to raise my hands and block my nose but I didn't know how that would look to him so I kept a pleading face. He looked at me, looking me over from my head down to my toe. I shuddered slightly. I felt nervous under his gaze, I felt naked and I gulped without making a sound, looking away from him from a moment before he called out coldly with a shrink in his voice, “ Look at me , Francesa.” With that I looked up, my eyes becoming bigger and teary. He didn't look phased by the look on my face, instead he grinned and winked at me in a naughty manner. “ My slut.” He whispered beneath his tongue.I shook from his words, looking away showing a little bit of disbelief. I didn't accept to be his, I knew that I belonged
Chapter 37: FRANCESCA “ What?” I gasped, pushing back at him in shock. I didn't expect such closeness, I was feeling suffocated as I looked at him with a pant. I felt like I couldn't take in any oxygen at the moment, my mouth slipped open and my brain went shut. “ Sorry…sir?” I said softly, trying to understand what he meant. He didn't give me the time to even understand, he pressed his body against mine with his mouth caressing my neck. I shuddered. My neck shook, scared of what he was about to do. But, he just placed a soft kiss on my neck then nibbled on it. “ No no.” I said, my eyes widened as I pushed him away but he was stronger. He held me down and started kissing my neck with his hands wrapped around my waist.“ Fuck!” I thought in my mind, I kicked at him. Right in between his legs and he bell back with a groan.“ Bitch!” He snarled at me, his eyes darkened. I shriveled in fear, my neck shrunk and my eyes went low as I avoided his gaze. I mumbled repeatedly, “ I'm sor
Chapter 36: Francesca's POV My heart leaped to my mouth. “ Sorry?” I asked almost immediately, I noticed what I had said when I felt the piercing gazes on my skin. My hands flew to my mouth, looking at them nervously. Even the old man stopped in his tracks, he looked at me for a while, pulled at his waistband where his gun was tucked.He pulled out the gun, pointing at me to show that he would blow my brains out. His finger was about to click on the trigger.Enzo stood up immediately, kicking my chair to the far distance as a gun shot was fired. Bang! “ Oh God.” I yelled loudly, seeing the bullet that I had missed. Enzo looked enraged, he was breathing fire from his nose. His eyes flared in fury, he grabbed his gun too, about to shoot and press on the trigger.I ran to his side, almost tumbling over as the legs of the chair broke and I still ran over and held him by the waist, placing my head on his back. His hands froze, I moved my hand slowly to his chest as I felt his heart po
Chapter 35: Francesca’s POV “Ow!” I groan in pain, I struggle to get up with my limbs making a noise. My hands moved to my hair, scratching through it profusely in confusion. I didn't know what happened, all I could remember was the rough night I had with Enzo. I remembered how I enjoyed it all, his torture and his ways of gaining pleasure.Instinctively, I looked to the side, my eyes searching for his figure as I searched the entire room for traces of him but he wasn't there.“Oh there.” I suddenly exclaimed, I jolted off the bed, my leg ramming into the folded rug that led to me slipping and slamming my nose into the hard floor.“ Fuckin hell.” I hollered in pain, I sat up, rubbing my red nose with tears by the corner of my eyes.It hurts so much that I was sure it left a bruise.I sat there, puzzled about what happened as I tried to pick up pieces of my mind but nothing was coming to me. As I thought I was about to get it, something was clicking and it felt just right.*Knock*I
Chapter 34: Francesca's POV“ Oh fuck.”“ Oh yes.”“ Ahn.” I continued moaning, the pain twisted into some sick pleasure, I didn't know how I enjoyed it but I didn't want him to stop as he looked at me. He had a look of surprise, seeing my face twisted into pleasure and my lips wide open as I continued spewing profanities.“ Oh yes daddy.” I was sure he was also startled by how much I loved it.I too was torn apart by my disgusting like for it and it was more than like. I found myself loving it, I was begging him for more… He knew I wanted it and he gave it to me .There was fire in his eyes, there was a glow that made me shiver for a second as I thought about what he could possibly do to me at this moment. I didn't want to think too much but I knew he wanted me to scream of pain and not pleasure.His eyes flared up with disdain, I felt it was because of my body or my reaction to his taunting.“ What a bitch!” He cursed, spreading my legs and flipping me over so that he could see my
Chapter 33Francesca's POV I had nothing but fear in my eyes right now, I didn't know what to expect..I shut my eyes, hoping it wouldn't hurt as much as last time.Who was I fooling? It hurts like crap every single time..There was no single way to avoid this, acted innocent and it intrigued him.. it made him want to have me more. He aimed to bend me over and put me in 1000 sex positions that exist.It gave me goosebumps, I have never seen a man like him.He was gentle or easy going instead he was rough and passionate.He liked me freshly beaten, there wasn't any other way he was to get me. I closed my eyes, resigning to my fate as my body became rigid and I waited for him to use it on me but just as I heard the whish sound, it stopped mid air.I peeked, I looked at the corner to check what was happening and he locked eyes with me. He laughed, waving the whip triumphantly like I was some animal to be kept under wraps.He rubbed it on my buttocks, using a particular side to make me
