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,
Chapter 41OctaviaI could barely stand when I was being taken from the room, but thankfully Benjamin carried me to the room I would be staying.It was a beautiful room, well decorated and designed.I stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom after taking my bath to watch my body. I hated Bennett so badly.He'd left me there for two days. Two good days. Me! Octavia Stiles! Octavia Mondragon...owner of Mondragon Enterprises, a soon to be billionaire who had multi investors at her beck and call but he didn't know that.. he knew me as the small but beautiful Octavia Stiles, one who models for companies!Although I was being fed good food, but I slept on the concrete floor, my whole body felt sore as if I had just survived one grenade attack.I heard the front door of the room opened and I pressed the drain button on the tub to remove the water before walking out of the bathroom, clothed with a Jean baggy trouser and a grey hoodie I had gotten from the shelves.The room was big, very
Chapter 42BennettThe world was a cruel place. Definition not for people like Octavia. She was fragile yet agile. She was confused but I knew just what and how to tick her off.Locking her in the basement was for myself and never because she had slapped me. Although the slap and the pain I'd received from it had never left my brain..."Are you bolting out?" "No.""We're heading to Renee's." Jace said, leaning on the door as he raised his brows."No." I said, more sternly this time and he nodded."You're going to talk about it or..""Scram!" I looked up and he rolled his eyes before, stepping away and slamming the door shut.The door opened again and i looked up, anger visible in my eyes, I was about to take out my gun when my eyes met that of Barry.I smiled and he did too."You wanna take out your gun on me? And do what? Put a bullet into me and regret coming here to tell you a good news." He said and I scoffed, looking away."I thought it was Jace. That fucker needs to learn how t
Chapter 43OctaviaThis wasn't me anymore. Bennett was actually kissing me.His big paws kept my head steady as he kissed the hell out of me. My hands went to kiss him back but I topped.. reality snapping into my brain and I pushed him back.I sighed, my breaths coming so heavy..I thought I'd die.Bennett licked his lips as he watched me."Why? Why did you do it?" I asked.He said nothing."Cause I want to do it again." He said, closing the distance again and kissing me so hard that I melted into him.He pressed me so close to his body that there was no space at all. His cologne filled my nostril and damn! was it so nice.It seemed like he'd just gotten out of the shower, he smelled like lavender and citrus.He lifted me onto the desk and released my lips.I was breathing so hard that I could barely recognize my breathing. My heartbeat was a mess as it flipped whenever his eyes danced back to my lips.His was puffy and pink, so pink..you wouldn't even think he was the devil he was."Y
Chapter 44OctaviaWe stared at each other for ten good minutes before I proceeded to wash my dress.If Bennett was going to watch me wash, then that was his Problem."You're going to a party with me, as my date." Bennett said, climbing the laundry counter as he ate the apple he held."The kiss. The make out. Now a date." I chuckled."Get your head into your pants Bennett Stone L'angelo." I glared at him and he chuckled."I'll rather have my head into that of Bianca's." He said.I froze.The image of him, having his head in between her head came into my head so quickly.Had he stopped yesterday because he didn't want to cheat on Bianca with me?"Are you done? As you can see I'm doing laundry" I said."Just five clothes. You're lazy." He clicked his tongue."Well.. I'm not a jerk like some people who give out their clothes to others to laun and dry." I said, snorting as he came down the laundry counter.Jerk!I switched on the laundry machine, adding some detergent into the water and p
Chapter 45AllisonThe day was getting bad more than I'd hope for.Getting off work time was more pleasant than ever.I'd stayed over with Octavia and we'd talked about a lot of things.When I made my way to my room, i frowned when I saw Benjamin standing in front of my room."Good day Sir. Is there a Problem?" I asked.Benjamin was a man whore. If one thing was right..then it was Benjamin fucking anything and everything in skirt.I hated that about him, I hated how he made me feel.He would make me feel like something special but then he'd bring another....I didn't even want to talk about it."Don't use that tone on me." "What tone sir?" I raised a brow, feeling annoyed."Allison." "Sir." I called back, and he took a step towards me."Sir?" I called again, moving back."Call me that again and I promise to fuck you right here, and let whoever is walking pass us watch." Ben seethed as he walked dangerously close to me.I moved back till I was pressed against the door to my room."Ben
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
