I woke up with a ray of sunshine seeping through the window curtains. I stared at the light. Lying on my stomach, I recall the horror of last night. Thankfully, I felt nauseated but not enough for me to vomit.
I looked around my surroundings and everything felt quite and calm. After managing to get up from bed, I turned my eyes to the door without wasting anymore time, running towards it fearing it might be locked. But let out a quick sigh when I noticed it was open. I gently opened the door, trying not to make any sound, and looked at the empty hallway before getting out of the room and cautiously descending the stairs.
The view of the house is magnificent and very luxurious, which made me wonder who the owner is.
My eyes went straight to the main door, and I gave a quick thank you to the man up there. Then I walked towards the entrance, but before I could get to the door, I heard a voice behind me.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
I slowly turned back around like a deer caught in the light and was met with dark brown eyes and curly dark hair. He was attractive.
" Sin won't like the fact that you tried to escape," he said again, empathizing more on Sin, who I'm guessing is the guy who kidnapped me.
"I'm Luca, and as much as I would love to know you more, you need to step away from the door."
" Where is he ?." I wanted to meet my so-called kidnapper so that I could ask why I was here.
" He went out to handle some things. I suggest you go back to your room. I won't want you to face the wrath of Sin," he said, as various emotions flashed through his face. I don't know if it was fear, worry, or pity, but the fact that he was scared of this Sin guy makes me wonder how terrifying he was.
I moved away from the door, climbing the stairs back to my room with Luca behind me.
" I will bring something for you to eat," he said as I stepped into the room.
Luca came back with a tray filled with a plate of bread and scrambled eggs, along with a glass of orange juice, which I ate and drank with no struggle. I needed the energy to escape later. After I was done eating, he took the tray, but the sound of a click caught my attention. I stood up from the bed and went to the door, trying to get it open, but it was locked.
Great! I'm trapped inside the room.
There goes my plan to escape, but I wasn't planning on giving up now. My mind drifted off to Steph. She must really be worried out of her mind now. What if I don't succeed in escaping? What would become of me? I paced around the room for a long time, crying in fear and anger, before my eyes turned heavy and my body felt tired as I fell into a dreamless sleep.
I was awoken due to the cold tingling sensation on my face. I kept my eyes closed, trying to wash away the feeling, but it only intensified. I opened my eyes only to let out a shriek.
A shiver runs down my spine when I look into his black orb. I recognized him quickly as the same man I saw a month ago at the club . His face was just an inch away from mine, and when I tried to move, his hands held my side, making it impossible. He was smiling in a dark and evil way, making me very uncomfortable.
Was this the kind of smile he gave his victims before he slaughtered them?
A few seconds passed before he finally sat up, giving me a little bit of space. I was too scared to move. His huge form was so intimidating that it made it hard for me to look into his eyes. But he had no problem staring at me as his eyes roamed over my body, watching my every move.
" Normani Parker, hm. Normani, mani, ani," he chanted with amusement laced in his voice. I was surprised he knew my name but said nothing as he looked at the wall behind him.
" Do you know why you're here, Mani?" he asked, his voice calm but dangerous.
" No, just let me go," I said in a soft yet hopeful voice.
" You were so fucking sexy that night, did you know that?" he said roughly, and I felt the colour drain from my face.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were dilated. I immediately moved back till my head hit the bed board and he moved with me.
His face came close to my right ear, and I tried not to tremble, but it was hard. His warm breath fanned my skin.
" Wh...what do you want from me? Why did you kidnap me? " I whispered, shakenly, trying to hold back a sob.
" Because I want you, little temptress," he replied casually, as if he was talking about the weather.
"Why me? You can have anybody you want. Just let me go," I begged.
" I don't want anyone else. You are mine," he said calmly but coldly.
I shut my eyes and my body started shaking uncontrollably. One strong arm held my waist, drawing me closer to him, and his other hand rested beside my head on the bed board, making my eyes snap open. I tried wiggling to get out of his strong hold. His face dipped into my neck region without any warning.
His cologne hit my nostrils as his nose started brushing against my skin. I placed my hand on his chest, which made him stiff and tighten his hold on my waist. I felt his abs flexing, his skin hot under my hand as I pushed him with all my strength, trying to create space between us, but he didn't bulge.
He started drawing patterns with his nose on my bare skin, which sent tingling down my body, and I felt mad at myself for feeling such excitement.
I was saved by the sound of a phone ringing, and I am grateful to whoever called him inwardly.
"Che cosa!" he barked, angry at the person on the other side of the phone.
"Sto arrivando, non puoi nemmeno fare niente di giusto idiota." He ended the call. " I have to go now, little temptress, but I will be back." He placed a kiss on my cheek and stood up to walk out of the room. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as uncontrollable tears fell down my eyes.

SIN POV."PL...please, have mercy."What an asshole.If he thought his pitiful plea was going to make me spare his pitiful life, he was so fucking wrong. He had already messed up when he tried stealing money from me and passing information to my enemies. I am the fucking boss of the Italian Mafia. Even when people hear my name, it sends a shiver down their spine. They would piss their fucking pants just by the sound of my name.Nikolai Violenta But I prefer being called Sin.People were scared of me, and they were right to feel that way. Only an idiot would dare to challenge and mess with me."Please, ha...have mercy," the man in front of me begged again, as if that was going to change my mind."Then you should never have betrayed the boss in the first place." Jason, One of my men shouted out at him before kicking him hard in the stomach. He groaned in pain, coughing out blood.Such a fucktude.As one of us, he should have known that there was no way for him to escape these. My men a
Mani’s pov."Miss! " A distressed voice echoed through the room. " Please wake up, Miss."I felt a hand on my shoulder shaking me, dragging me out of my slumber. My heavy lashes peeled open and the first thing I saw was a worried expression of a woman in her twenties like me. She was wearing what I assumed was a maid's outfit. She was leaning over me on the same bed where I passed out yesterday. " Thank God," she sighed when I finally opened my eyes. " I came yesterday to wake you up, but Sin said I should let you rest. Are you alright?" " I'm fine," I croaked. My vocal cords dried like sandpaper due to all the crying. I could see the pity and remorse on her face, so I decided to try my luck and see if she could help me escape. "Please help me, I have been kidnapped," I begged. "You need to be careful and mind what you say. I can't help you," the maid replied back anxiously. " Were you kidnapped as well?" I asked. That was the only logical explanation I could come up with since
Sin was already waiting when I entered. He was like a king at the end of the table. His unyielding gaze stopped me in my tracks. His tattooed arms were exposed, set in full display as his black shirt sleeves were rolled up. Heat spread through me when he sized me up. " I hoped you enjoyed your rest, since you slept through yesterday and today."I didn't bother answering him and took a seat further away from him. Sin looked greatly dissatisfied by this, but didn't say a word. "You look lovely," he said once more, his voice hoarse and his face cold. I couldn't read his face, but that didn't mean I didn't notice the heat dancing around his black orb, making them darker than ever, if it was even possible. His stare never wavered. I could feel it burning into my skin even when I refused to meet his gaze. I kept my eyes downcast, staring at the beautiful texture of the table just to avoid looking at him. " I know you have questions, so I will give you permission to ask. " The nerve of t
I didn't bother leaving the room the next day. I stayed coiled up in bed, trying hard to avoid Sin after what happened yesterday. I was thankful to Zoey for bringing me breakfast and some books to read. I finally got tired of lying in bed. Zoey brought some clothes for me this morning. So what better way to unwind than with a hot shower? I pulled off my pyjamas and walked into the bathroom. After feeling refreshed and relaxed, I wrapped a towel around my body. I stepped out and walked towards the bed, where I put on my new pair of pyjamas. Just when I was about to unwrap the towel, a very familiar, cold, deep voice made me shriek, and I abruptly turned around to face the intruder. My blue eyes were met with piercing dark eyes. I quickly wrapped my hands around my body as I started to tremble under his gaze. "Impressed," he said in a rough, husky tone as his eyes travelled down and settled on my legs. He was leaning against the wall beside the door. His eyes remained fixed on my leg
The sunlight streamed in through the gaps in my curtains. I had been up for hours just thinking. There was a brief, fleeting moment when everything that had happened within the week vanished from my mind. The moment only lasted a moment before it all came crumbling down. My shoulders shag on their own accord, obviously from being depressed. My mood briefly peaked when the smell of pancakes hit my nostrils. I heaved my body from the bed to the floor, beneath my freezing feet. I sulked my way through the bathroom. I sighed sadly, turning off the tap of the shower before discarding my clothes on the floor. I stepped into the shower. Tomorrow was supposed to be a happy occasion, but I just couldn't feel it. On another note, tomorrow is my graduation and I can't help but feel nervous and scared. I will be taken again by Sin. I felt like I was going to throw up at any moment. I walked back to my bedroom, wearing a white sweatshirt and shorts. I shoved some socks into my feet before saunte
To celebrate my graduation, we decided to have lunch at a very fancy and expensive restaurant.When we stepped in, the hostess was already leading us to a table in the left corner, giving us a perfect view. We got seated and ordered our drinks first, then food. I ordered a chicken salad, Stephanie ordered a shrimp salad, Aunt Sera got soup, and Aunt Amelia and Uncle Carson ordered steaks, saying they were hungry."So Mani, Steph told us, you plan on going for a short vacation. Do you have a place in mind?" Aunt Amelia asked."I still don't know where I'm going; I haven't decided yet. Now that I've graduated, I figured I'd pack up and go on a short trip. You know, enjoy the things I couldn't, even if it's for a short while”. I replied."I understand, dear, and you need it. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call.” Uncle Carson said, and I nodded in response."Same here, Mani. Keep in touch and visit." My aunt Sera said"I will, aunt Sera. I'm grateful to have you all there fo
My body was utterly and completely drained of energy when I woke up. My head is throbbing, and my eyes are itchy.Although I feel the comfort of the bed on my back, making me want to stretch out my arms so I can get more comfortable, the thing is, I can't move them. I look up, and they are handcuffed to the headboard. I sat up, feeling a soft fabric beneath me, and tried to put the pieces together, but the colour drained from my face. I was caught. I was dumbfounded. I thought I had planned it all well, but I guess not.I'm so stupid, I mentally yell at myself. Of course, he would be two steps ahead of me.I tried to shake the chains back and forth, but that only made my wrists hurt. Thankfully, my legs were not tied.I keep wriggling my hand, the clinks of the headboard against the metal cuffs intensifying."I suggest you stop that, unless you want to hurt yourself by slicing your skin open." A deep voice erupted from the room, urging me to snap my head around and look for the source
His thumb rubbed my clit area and he moved in a circle, increasing my pleasure. I started to pant. I tried to move away from him, but his other hand gripped my waist, preventing me from escaping his touch as he continued to give me pleasure I couldn't deny.Two fingers slipped inside me, and I let out a painful gasp, which turned into a pleasurable moan. I bit down on my lip hard, trying to stop a loud moan.He let out a chuckle. "You say you don't want me, but look how dripping wet you are for me."He removed his fingers from me as his lips attacked my neck, placing wet kisses on it. He slowly made his way down my body and stopped at my stomach, placing kisses on it.He kept on leaving his marks all over my body—his mouth on my nipple while his hand grabbed my left breast, pinching the nipple. He made his way lower, stopping at my core. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to ignore the senses that jolted."Fuck, I love how your body responds to me." He gently blew on my clit, and the s
Samantha and AlexanderI was feeling devastated, and I couldn't help but blame myself for what had happened to Mani. If only I had not gone out this morning, if only I had kept to my routine and brought her meal up to her room like I usually did these past few days, then she wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped. especially not when she was pregnant.No..None of this would have happened if only I had given her the chance to explain when she first pleaded with me. Maybe then we would have figured out who was betraying us, and now we had to work faster at finding her before something bad happened.Sighing, I swing my legs, which were deep inside the pool water, while wiping the tears from my face. I couldn’t remember the last time I had cried this much. Was it those times when I struggled to stay alive as my father carried on with his assault, or the time he...Shaking the thought off my head, I try not to think about the past, knowing it would bring nothing but pain and nightmares."You have
Athena And LorenzoI could be doing anything with the rest of my day, probably watching Netflix and chilling, if I was up for a bit of fun, I could always go clubbing. But that wasn’t the case tonight; instead, I was being prepped for a ball I wished not to attend.Only if there was a way to escape having to attend and watch those pretentious fuckers pretend to get along with each other."Do you really need me there?" I asked, letting out yet another sigh."Of course I do," Bella, my childhood best friend, responded, giving me a pleading look. "I can’t do this by myself; it's torture having to go there and pretend to care. I need you there, Athena.""Why don’t you just skip this year's ball? I’m sure your parents won't mind."Bella sighed exasperatedly. "I wish I could, but my dad is too stubborn to listen to reasons, he is running for a political position and wishes I would accompany him since my brother can’t attend this year. I'm really hating the fact that he had to go on a busine
Luca and StephanieI gulped down my drink and set the glass back on the table. I took a deep breath and then raised my hand to signal the bartender."Another shot," I said.He frowned. "I believe you have had way too much for the night, don’t you think so?"I shook my head quickly, but stopped when it made me feel a bit dizzy."No...pe, another shot."I thought it was wonderful that he continued to display care, but after I patiently waited, he simply groaned and went to get my drink.In the end, his worry wasn't going to help me much. I also knew how to control my alcohol intake while always being the good girl. I was a little tipsy, but not at all intoxicated.After a while, I was certain I had had a little too much to drink, but I still wasn't intoxicated enough.I need to head back to my home; now that Mani is touring the world, the apartment we shared for nearly five years feels empty.It’s been three months since she left, but I still haven’t found a roommate I feel comfortable
Seven years have passed since I got married to Sin and had the twins. My caring, loving husband and our two lovely children make up my existence, yet I still couldn't believe it.I grinned when I thought of the girls. Alexander and Samantha have been married for five years, and a year after their wedding, Giulia, a beautiful baby girl, was born to the couple. Emma, their youngest child, was born two years ago.Luca and Stephanie recently got married, and they are currently on their honeymoon. She was enjoying herself to the fullest. Luca had brought her to Bora Bora, and she had sent a ton of pictures. You can only imagine my delight when she told me that Luca had proposed to her four months prior.While Athena got married to Lorenzo a year before Samantha and Alexander. They have three beautiful boys and a girl. I'm sure you are wondering how this happened.When Sin and Alexander found out about their relationship, it was chaotic. They argue all the time; Sin and Alexander even went
We had woken up ages ago, and did a little bit of morning exercise. If you get what I mean. Right now, we were sitting outside. Well, Sin was sitting on a chair with me on his lap. We were both enjoying the wonderful view of the ocean as well as the fill of the warm air against our skin. Sin kissed my shoulder, bringing my attention to him. He held my head, pulling me to his never ending kisses. I could never get tired of this. He pulled away, smirking at my red stained face."I wonder how the babies are, I miss them already." I say, resting my head on his shoulder."Don't worry about them, they are safe. I know my mom and your aunt will take good care of them. My mom adores her grandchildren a lot, same as your aunt." Sin runs my back softly."I know, but still" Tears formed around my eyes and I blinked a few times, trying to stop them from falling down."Amore, it's only for three weeks then you can see them again. We don't know when we will ever get the chance to spend time alone
"I don't get why you refuse to tell me where we are going. I feel like we have been walking for hours. " i heard Sin chuckled softly, as he kept on leading me to heaven knows where. My eyes were blindfolded, making it hard to know where we were" patient amore. Besides, it's only been three minutes since we got out of the car. "I scoffed." Yeah, but I have been blindfolded throughout the ride.""so impatient, amore. Few more steps Mrs. Violenta."I grinned, liking the fact we were officially married.I squealed when I felt him lift me up bridal style, with the warm weather surrounding me. I felt giddy and couldn't wait for him to take off the blindfold.I felt my feet touch a wooden floor and the cloth wrapped around my eyes slowly coming loose. I gasp at the view of the beach in front, watching the waves move the water. Though it was dark, the moonlight shone on the water, enhancing it beauty and making it more enchanting.It was fucking gorgeous."Welcome to Maldives" Sin says, a s
Today was the day of the wedding. I was finally getting married to Sin. It feels so surreal, like I can't believe it. I was a nervous wreck, and there was nothing I could do to ease my nerves. This was a happy occasion, but at the same time I felt scared. I couldn't wait to call him my husband, and that brought a smile to my face. Right now I was sitting on the bed with Aurelia in my hands, feeding her while I watched her silently. I had already fed Marcello and given him to Sin; he wanted Marcello to dress up with the men.It's been two months and three days since I gave birth to them, and I couldn't be happier looking down at my beautiful baby girl; her blue eyes sparkle just like mine. Her features were like Sin's; she had his long lashes and brows. I knew she was going to grow up into a beautiful girl. I noticed that she was done, so I stood up from the bed, trying to burp her before putting her down on the bed.The door opened, and Samantha, Stephanie, and Athena walked in. "It's
At exactly 9:55 Am and 10:00 Am, Sin and I's baby boy and girl were born. How did l go a full nine months without the doctor noticing I was carrying two babies instead of one.They were beautiful.I was wheeled back to the room while the babies were taken to be cleaned. The rest of the family had gone home earlier to get freshened up, they had no clue yet and I told the doctor not to tell them. I had asked my aunt and Sin to go home and freshen up as well, after a lot of persuasion my aunt agreed to go, wish I could say the same about Sin.This man was filled with all kinds of stubbornness.I heard a soft knock at the door, it opened slowly and I saw Serena, Samantha, Stephanie and Alexander walk in first followed by Athena, Amelia and Carson."Hey. " Serena said in a hushed tone."Where is the baby? " Stephanie asked.Before Sin and I could answer, the door pulled open and a nurse walked in with one baby in her arms. She walked towards me, placing the baby in my hands. I looked down
They all froze for a second till a felt pain in my stomach and the next thing I knew I was yelling out to them, mostly Sin."Don't just freaking sit there, do something".That seemed to have woken them, and everybody stood up from their seat rushing to heaven knows where. Sin was by my side, helping me up from my seat."It's going to be okay Mani, remain calm. How far apart are your contractions." Amelia asked."I'm not sure, but I think 15 minutes apart. " She makes a sound agreeing with me."We need to get her to the hospital so that way we can have more accurate readings" I nod. I took little steps with Sin holding onto my hand."we need to get everything you need, I will text Mateo to bring them to the hospital. " He gave my hand to his mom, bringing out his phone. He typed feverously on his phone.I felt a hand on my chin, making me look away from Sin. It was Serena, she had a smile on her face which made me relax a little bit."follow my lead Mani. " she instructed and nodded. "
