Whenever Don is this close to me, close enough for noses to touch and for our breathing to mix freely, I lose my sense of reasoning. And I think he knows this too because even if we’ve only being in this kind of situation a few times, he’s always daring so close to me and I can’t decide on one reasonable thing to do whenever he does that. Just like right now. Both of us were cooped up in my tiny closet. I could hear every of the breath he let out and the ones he drew in. His blue eyes was the only thing I could see in the darkness of the closet and they had me trapped in them so much that I couldn’t look away. “What are you doing?” I asked with wild eyes.“You should leave already. Nick left three minutes ago”“Not until I get what I want”“What do you want?’“You”I squinted at him in the darkness. “Forget I asked”At this rate, I am going to conclude that Don is going crazy up there and I won’t sit with him and listen to him say things like that to me. I’ve only known this man
That day when Don left, I felt like he took a piece of me with him because all of a sudden, I felt myself and my resolve crumble all at once. Everything felt so unreal. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night after he left and willed myself to believe that his coming here was just a nightmare and that what transpired between us didn’t happen at all.His smell was everywhere in my room and it left a lingering feeling to stir inside of me.As much as I found Don Dada controlling and manipulative, I couldn’t deny the pull I had to him ever since the first night I met him. The desire had been present right from that night and I couldn’t deny my attraction towards him.I couldn’t deny it and yet I couldn’t admit it to his face when he made his own desires clear to me.I couldn’t deny it but it scared me. It scared the hell out of me in ways that’s more than just one.First off, I have never felt that way with anyone. The giddy feeling, the flip-flops of your belly, the supposed b
“What do you want?”I fired at Luciano.Just the sight of him makes my stomach turn. And the fact that it’s all his fault I had to go meet with Don and now he won’t leave me alone, annoys me. Yet he just shows up by the road where I and Nick stood waiting to call a cab, in a fancy car. It’s the first time I’ve seen him outside of my apartment after all these years. And it made me wonder what caused the sudden change of him appearing in a car and stopping by me at the side of the road.Beside me, I could feel the rage and anger that radiated off Nick’s body. Nick has only seen him a few times and he never ceases to get crazily mad at him each time. I can even say he hates his guts more than I do. But Luciano as expected wasn’t moved by both our glares that was pinned on him. His eyes was trained on me.“Hello to you , Claire”He said ignoring my question from earlier. I rolled my eyes at him. I didn’t know what it was that he wanted from me but deep down, I hope it doesn’t involve wan
"Ha bambina, I thought you'd never come""So? Aren't you happy I did? It's what you want isn't it? To take advantage of my desperation".I fired at him.He might not be the current cause of my misfortune and I should probably direct my anger and frustration somewhere else but he was the only one I could think of firing and directing all of my anger at.My heart was full of so much hatred and hurt that I didn't know who else to take them out on. And since he's no better than the devil who did this to me, then he might as well be at the receiving part of my anger.He shook his head, still unmoving from his seat."Questa Ragazza, always having ideas in your head. You've got it all wrong Bambina. I didn't force you to come here though I contemplated it when you didn't show up for days" he stopped and chuckled."But once again, Gattino, I am a very patient man. My patience paid off". He stretched a hand to gesture towards me. "Here you are, on your own" *(Questa Ragazza means "this girl")
I really wished we could just get it over with. I would even wished I was rather drugged to sleep so I would not experience those thrusting and release. The thought of another man apart from Luciano as usual, coming unto me disgusted me for some unknown reasons.I walked out of the VIP room Don Dada was in and was met with those huge guys running after me earlier. Their faces were scowling and I did the same. What the heck! I would never be intimidated by dogs.I shot them a deadly glare, communicating to them that they should move out of my way. Since their boss did not have complaints, they probably thought it was fine to let me go and so they moved out of my way.I strode down to the area where music was blasting. The stench of alcohol was so strong in the air and I somehow felt pleased with it. I moved towards the bar counter and reached out to the bartender."A shot of Tequila." I ordered and he brought my order immediately. I was not even properly dressed for a night club, I was
I did not bother to branch at Nick's apartment and just headed straight to mine. I was pretty sure he would be boiling with so much fury about what happened with Luciano earlier so I decided to let him be. Besides, it was already late into the night and I also needed some restless rest.I got into my apartment and sank into the couch, with Don's thick cologne still in the air. He smelt so damning nice but that was not even the issue now. A part of me felt quite good that things would eventually work out with my revenge and the other part of me was torn and angry.Of course, selling myself in exchange for revenge against Luciano was the least I could do but then I was scared for myself. I started to think, if I eventually get my freedom from Luciano what would I do with my life?I was not sure my dignity and pride as a woman was still intact so I would literally still go out into the world and live as a shadow of myself. No academic qualifications whatsoever, no hidden riches anywhere
I was so curious about what Don Dada had said to Alex that made him release me so easily without even asking. Alex looked like a total gentleman when he rarely wasn't and I know so well what Mafia Dons are capable of. Could he have threatened him? Or bought him off? I did not know. The sudden park of a car in front of me jolted me out of my thoughts. I pushed the thoughts aside to focus on the physical.I realized the car that parked in front of me was a Rolls Royce. Waiting patiently for the person in it to come out, I remained standing. "Don said to bring you." A man in a black suit came out of the car and said. He definitely looked like a guard and I did not think twice before getting into the back seat of the car.Neither the driver nor the guy said any word to me as they just remained focused on the road till we got to the supposed place where they took me to. I did not need anyone to tell me that it was a house, a mansion at that. Driving into the premises, I realized this
I did not understand what Don Dada said until some ladies in uniform came around and took me. Finally, I was seeing females for the first time since I stepped into that house. We entered the elevator and I watched one of the three ladies set the elevator to take us to the second floor.I was led to a room as soon as we stepped out of the ride. The funniest part was that I was not even arguing or anything. The ladies seemed to be of few words and I was not interested in talking too. I just wanted to know why Don Dada was doing all these.A night with me was what he needed but now he was making strange moves. In all of these, I prayed so earnestly that Luciano would not find out about this. There was no way I would return to that red torture room or that dreadful cliff and be thrown down, not even when I had not executed my revenge plan."We will be taking off your clothes now." One of the ladies stepped forward and said. I furrowed my brows out of realization, this was what Don Dada me
