Chapter 33OctaviaI stilled as I heard the sounds of gunshots."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Bennett raked his hand through his hair and glared at me."What? I didn't bring them with me." I glared back at him and he let out a growl.A man walked to us and gave Bennett a bow."It's the Cornneli, I think they are here for the boy." He said, and Bennett nodded, muttering something in Italian before he turned to me and grabbed my arm."What?""Come with me. It's dangerous here. I think someone is moling on me." He said, and I rolled my eyes."It's not moling on you Bennett. The best sentence is 'i think there's a mole here.' I said, and he scoffed, grabbing me roughly again and I winced."Where are you taking me then?""For someone who might get likely shot to the head. You're not afraid I see." He said, and i shrugged."Why should I? When you're right here." I said, and he said nothing.He scoffed few minutes later as we pulled over to a very long hallway."Don't think for one second, I would hes
Chapter 34Octavia"Are you kidding me? I want to go and I wouldn't hesitate in slapping that smirk out of your face.. you damnwit!""I've gotten enough of this." He mumbled and bent down and before I could know what he was up to, he carried me over his shoulder and I yelped."Bennett." I yelled.He said nothing, as he carried me through the hallway and down and up again the many stairs.I scratched his back, hitting him so hard and before I could even know what he'd done... Bennett smacked me, on the butt.I stilled. My whole body stopped and I couldn't even do a thing.Heat rushed to my face."Bennett...""Unless you want another good spanking, I'd suggest you shut your mouth up." He said, and just like that my mouth sealed up till we got to the room."So many people have seen your face Octavia,you go out there and there's a high chance that you'll die." He said, as he walked to the bed."So this room is safe?"I asked, laughing as I walked all over the entire room.His bedsheet was
Chapter 35OctaviaIn as much as I would like to disobey him again in front of his men to see that anger back in his eyes, I stood up and followed the maid."You're very beautiful madame and daring." The maid assigned to me said, and I nodded.She was beautiful as well, her red hair packed to a bun. She was quite my age but she looked small."When did you began working here?" I asked, and she let out a sigh."I was supposed to be sold to Sir Due Canito's eldest son but then Sir Benjamin saved me and brought me here." She said, and I nodded noticing the slightest heated cheek that glowed when she talked about Benjamin."Benjamin huh?" I mumbled and she looked up at me and nodded."Yes Madame. Sir Benjamin." She answered, lowering her head.Did she like Benjamin? Bennett's brother? Or was it because he saved her?Well...I certainly didn't want to pry on their business but there was something about her that made me want to talk more to her.She was beautiful..no doubt."Your hair is beau
Chapter 36Octavia"Well....that was what I heard around the corners." I said, and he chuckled before walking closer to the bed."Who did you hear that from Octavia? Please don't let me say that again." He threatened and I scoffed."Why? So you'd go there and puff that person's brain out? I never once knew the Bennett Stone to be such a murderous killer." I said, and snorted.He cussed, muttering something in Italian before turning to me and glaring hard at me."Well.. there's nothing to hide about Bianca, since I think you heard well." He said, and I nodded.My heart was squeezing.This was the man I loved Soo....much."You're just a Handsome idiot.. nothing more. I wonder why ladies fall in front of you when the see you..cause all I see is some deranged little thing that needs love." I said, trying to piss him off.At least, that would take me off the edge right now..cause I was feeling so angry."Why are you saying all of these Octavia? Don't tell me the biggest, and greatest model
Chapter 37"Miss Chen." I said, and they woman smiled as she engulfed me into a hug."Aren't you going to ask me anything?" I asked, as she rubbed somethings on my face."Your shoot is about to begin Octavia...be a good girl and smile so I won't have to scold you later." She said and I nodded.I was wearing a beautiful brown short gown and a black leather shoes and a brown beret that had the logo of the Van ders Beanto.Moving over to where I'd take the photoshoot, I gave a smile and sat down on the huge couch present for the shoot.Cameras were clicking here and there, bright lights appearing in my face and I tried to hide the tears that threatened to fall.Few minutes later, we were done with the first shoot and I was asked to go take a rest, so we'd continue later.I nodded, walking to Miss Chen."Why are you crying?" She asked, as I got closer to her."He hurt me...so badly." I cried, and she hugged me tightly.There was no denying the pain that was there. Bennett had hurt me and
Chapter 38OctaviaFive days had passed and I was still getting over Bennett.And like I had said..it was a very difficult job and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it done.I was strolling up and down the streets of Italy with a bowl of ice cream as i admired the beauty of the place.Italy was a beautiful place in deed.I stopped at the little fountain in the middle of the city and sat down as I kept licking my ice cream.Leave it to Bennett to crush my spirit as if it were nothing.My phone chimed and it was Miss Chen.Ha! Thank God! We were done with the shoot for Van ders Beanto and now we were awaiting that of Milano Deramo that was going to be held by the end of the month."Hello Miss Chen.""Where are you Octavia? You're really scaring me little girl. It's only one guy." She mumbled, and I could tell she was ruffling her hair."One guy Octavia, trust me when I say there's more fish in the pond..so don't settle for this one guy." She said."I'm not settling for this one guy
Chapter 39OctaviaI was freaking out so badly as we stepped down from Benjamin's car.I sighed, bracing myself when I found myself in a different mansion. It wasn't the same one we had come before and this was more beautiful.I heaved a deep breath of relief, praying I wouldn't be seeing guns and knives and deaths and blood."You wanna stand there and become a pillar for amusement or come in?" I turned to see Bennett's brother giving me a weird look.I nodded. I didn't want to talk back to this guy. He shot a man dead without thinking twice.'Well, imagine what the man would have done to you as well. He wasn't chasing you to say hi. was he?'"You look lost.""Please don't talk to me." I mumbled calmly and he laughed, turning around and walking closer to me."You do not tell me what to do sweetie. In as much as you're my brother's guest right now baby.. I'm so pissed because of something and I wouldn't like anyone getting on my bad side." He cocked his gun, staring at me and I nodded.
Chapter 40BennettIt hadn't even been up to a few days when she had left and now she was in trouble again?Two things were going to be the death of me.If it wasn't the Mafia, then it was surely going to be Octavia Stiles. The woman who had taken my whole vision.I had never thought I'd be enchanted to a woman but damn! She was one of a kind. She was seducing without even trying to.Her voice, her eyes, her anger, the daring statue... everything."Hey dude." Jace smacked my arm as he took a seat on the couch."Where is Charlotte?" I asked, looking around for the woman who seem to be the fly around Jace."Damn the woman! Jesus Christ! she's a pest. I'm so thankful she decided to leave for New York to go meet her father.. I'm so grateful" Have said, shaking his head as he grabbed the bottle of Daniel Jack on the table and poured some for himself."Where's Benjamin?""Out to get some chick. Said he'd fuck her till she fell numb in his arms. Seems like she owes him something." He said,
SIX MONTHS LATEROctaviaI groaned as I bent to pick something from the ground but couldn't reach it.My bump wasn't that big but it was enough to tell me to stand, to sit and relax.I sighed, heaving a deep breath as I struggled to pick my new fluffy rabbit toy Bennett had gotten for me.Well...Long story cut short, Bennett and I had gotten married after the first month of knowing about our little pipsqueak.Mom was happy. Grandpa was happy and although my father and my stepbrothers and sisters weren't smiling..they came.Even if they didn't...fuck them!They didn't know about my husband being the leader of the Italian Mafia. One word from me and they'd be eradicated from the face of the Earth."Baby." Bennett's hand snaked around my waist as he rubbed my belly."Hey." I mumbled and turned around to hug him but was stopped by my bump.He chuckled and I pouted and turned around."Three months left and we'll be holding our little pigeon on our hands." He said, and kissed my cheek."Wel
Chapter 75OctaviaBennett wrapped his arms around me, kissing my hair as I watched the burning car.He would have changed. He could have. He had every reason to, but no....he wanted to die."I've got you, baby. Fuck! I've got you." Bennett kept singing to my ears as he picked me up and took me to his car.I blinked back the tears and shook my head."What's wrong?" He asked."That guy..." I choked. "That guy wasn't bad... He's just sick in the head and his own father uses that to his advantage." I said.Bennett sighed."That was why I was willing to let him live." He said."I'm sorry you got to see something like this.""He talked about the bane. About your father... about His Father telling yours to jump down. It was all for the business. He wasn't a bad guy." I cleaned my eyes again, feeling a little sting in my eyes."Stop crying, please." He pulled me to himself and began to stroke my hair."Thank you for coming for me." I mumbled."There's no need to thank me about that, baby. Wh
Chapter 74Octavia"Cazzo! What the actual fuck?!" Matteo hissed, grabbing my arm and pulling me to my feet."Guess it's time to leave, baby." He whispered, and tuned to Bennett and smiled."Let her go Matteo and I promise to keep you alive." Bennett said, more like a groan."Keep me? You have guts coming out to a place like this and letting her show up as well.. we've been watching her. The love of your life, no?" He Chuckled, and so did they men beside him."Bennett..." I whispered."You're outnumbered, so you better be careful." Matteo said again.He was right for that one.They were five and Bennett was just alone.He was alone and he was making threats?"She's so delicate..oh my God!" Matteo exclaimed and grabbed my chin."Is that a bruise I see? It's not just one...Fuck! a body of a model." He laughed.I looked over at Bennett. A bone ticked in his jaw and his grip tightened on the gun in his hand."How does it feel when you fuck her Bennett? Huh?" He chuckled. "Come on, tell me
Chapter 73OctaviaI strode over to Bennett who had his hand tucked into his trouser pocket. He was wearing a black booraldo suit and a black tie.His hair was well arranged, his perfect well shaped jaw made it more sexy..as he ran a finger down his chin.... making me have a clean view of his beautiful Rolex watch.I stood in front of him but Bennett said nothing. "Why are you here Mr Stone?""The party was held for models and businessmen....and that includes me.""So you didn't come here today cause you're a Mafia man?" I asked, a smile forming on my face."And you're not here today cause you're a businesswoman? Quit the acting miss Stiles, it doesn't suit you." He said.I chuckled. I didn't expect him to play along."Ha." I shook my head."Why are you frowning? Got ditched?'"Watching my girl let another man kiss her on the cheek, God knows how I had to restrain myself from going over there and tearing that shit apart.""Don't do that, he was my manager before....Miss Chen." I said
Chapter 72The Grand finale was coming to and end.This was the end of being a model.As much as I loved being a model, it was time I focused on my company."Are you wiping your face, clean?" "No.""Good." Calista walked closer to me, a towel wrapped on her head."It's a good thing you're leaving the modeling industry.""Oh please.." I rolled my eyes, knowing what we were about to talk about."It's a good thing....really." She shrugged, as she knelt down in front to me and began to eyeshadow my eye lid again."Please..not too much, I have to look like my normal self. They'll think I'm doing too much." I mumbled."Or you don't just want Bennett to ruin your makeover when he sees how stunning you are... Don't worry, I'll put in an extra kit in your bag." She chuckled. "I'm going too, though. So you don't have to worry about a single thing." She smiled and I rolled my eyes.They were hosting a party for all models and I would take this time to tell everyone about my stepping down."You'
Thank you beautiful people for 1000+ followers.I'm so grateful!! And for that....another chapter is loading.*Kisses*Chapter 71Octavia"In as much as I would love to say it the way I badly want to, the Raven's are making things hard for Basino and it has to end." I watched Bennett and Jace talk, not meaning to eavesdrop on them.They were just talking so loud."The man has some serious problems going on in his fucked up life, had to mentally prepare for him. They called him a dementia patient." Jace said, as they watched someone on the laptop.Who were they talking about?Well...I was in still in Bennett's penthouse and the sun was shining brightly. I was typing down something in my laptop."He comes to this very spot every day at around 2:30pm. He has guards stationed everywhere and I think he knows he's about to die soon. Man's a heartless dick!" He said again.Bennett said nothing, they whole time. His eyes flickering to me and then the laptop as if he knew I was listening to th
Chapter 70OctaviaEvery went silent for a moment and then the gate was pulled open.My eyes widened and I didn't even know when my feet walked on there own, till I was hugging him so tight.Bennett wrapped his arms around me, hugging me so tight.And then he let go of me."You could have called me!" Bennett yelled at the top of his voice."I did." I said, feeling my throat tightened. "But you didn't pick up." I said.He groaned, turning around to punch the wall.Fuck! That would hurt."Not that line Octavia, my other line. How could you call a line that has not been working for months!" I was scared to the bone, so without looking I had called the number Bennett was using when I had began working as a model for his company."Can you stop yelling already?""You don't know what would have happened if they had gotten you. Fuck! I should have been here." He groaned again, punching the wall."Bennett!" I half yelled, grabbing his hand as he made to punch the wall again.The red dark eyes
Chapter 69Octavia"Are you sure that Van isn't following us?" Calista asked, again as we took another road.It was but I wasn't going to tell her that.Scared isn't what was going to keep us safe now.Fear surged through my veins."I don't think so." I said. "They are thousands of cars on this road Calista, why would they follow us?" I asked and she nodded with a sigh."Yes, you're right. Why would the follow us?" They were following us. The last time I had encounter such was when Bennett and I had gone to his penthouse that was outside the city for safety.Bennett wasn't here right now and I didn't know what to do.There was no way I'd be driving to the mansion, that would take them directly to my home."Why are you speeding like this? And why the heck are they speeding too?!" Calista yelled at the top of her voice as I sped the car, heading straight to where Bennett had taken me that time."Calista... I'm not going to lie to you." I began. There was no need lying to her when the t
Chapter 68OctaviaThe rest of the week was crazy has hell, I had been too engulfed into work and doing nothing apart from that. Even Bennett was busy.After that night he had spent with me, they next morning, he left for Italy."You're going to die, if you don't stop that and eat, even a little can go a long way Octavia." Calista mumbled, going from the sofa to the chair and back to o the sofa."Can you stop moving, you're spinning me." I said, pausing my finger on the letter A and scrunching my nose out of disgust as she ate her macaroni grill fish.It smelled so bad."And what kind of fish was used to make that?" I asked."Fish that stink but taste so nice...." She said, and shrugged before adding "Obviously.""Wow." I smiled at her and she smiled back, not before throwing another piece of the fish into her mouth."Remember me to tell Dali to get something to clear the air. I don't think the air conditioner can wave this thing off." I said.Calista glared at me, before dropping th
