When I came through, my head was covered by a black bag, and my hands were bound tightly in front of me. I seemed to be sitting in the back of a car, and I felt two presences on either side of me.I let out a scream, asking them to let me go. Panic rose through me. I spat at them every Spanish insult I could muster, demanding to be released, until one of them hit my head hard on the iron behind the seat, and I could feel the blood dripping down my head.I tried to listen to see if I could hear anything distinctive that would help me out when I planned my escape. I listened as the car soared over bumpy paths, making its way down an unsteady route. It kept on moving for what seemed to be an hour and a half before halting.My heart raced, and I felt my nerves surfacing even more when I was dragged out of the car. Two strong arms hoisted me up and carried me, bridal style, to what I assumed was their hiding place. I heard the sound of a metal door being opened, and whoever was carrying me
Sin Pov.Days and a week have gone by, and I've drowned myself in alcohol all because of her. The memory of that night is still fresh in my mind, refusing to give way. It was like a loop running for the hundredth time. How could i be so stupid.I clenched my hand into a fist, and my fingernails dug against my palm, making blood tickle the floor.The memory of Jason and Mani clouded my mind, him on top of her as his hands run over her body like he owns her.She made me fall hard for her, making me weak just for her to humiliate me in front of my men and sleep with one of them.She had used those innocent faces to fool me, taunting me with a mask she had on like a little temptress. I should have seen it coming. The first time I saw her at my club, I should have investigated how she got the pass because that was the only way to get in.I slammed my fist hard against the desk, standing up. I make my way to the basement, where I kept Jason. The bastard had recovered very quickly, and I wan
A frantic-looking Samantha entered. I saw the look of fear in her face, and I moved towards her along with Luca."What's going on, Sam?" I asked, looking at her dishevelled face.She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "It's... Mani.""What about Mani? What happened to her?" Luca asked, placing his hand on her shoulders."Come on, Sam, speak out," I growled impatiently."She is." She stuttered out again; this time her eyes were blurry, and my heart skipped.I raced past her, upstairs to the room where Mani should be, and found it empty. Luca and Samantha stepped in as well. I ran to the bathroom to check if she was there, but it was empty as well. I turned back to Samantha, who had a full-blown tear gushing down her face."Where is Mani, Sam?" I asked as calmly as I could."I wasn't around this morning, so I couldn't bring breakfast for her." I decided to check up on her this evening, and when I got here, the door was opened, and I found this on the floor. She brought out a sy
"Zoey." I gasped out of disbelief. My eyes widen at the person in front of me."In the flesh," she answered with a smirk on her face."What's going on? Why are you here?" I asked in a voice that I hoped would hide the panic I was feeling inside."Oh, come on, Mani. Do you really have to ask me that? You can't be that dense." She asked with a smug smile."Why... why are you doing this?" I stutter out, my eyes blurry."I don't know Mani; why would I do this?" she said, with a creepy smile. She keeps answering every question with a question of her own, with her hands crossed together."What do you want? Why would you do something like this?" I think she was done playing because the look in her eyes changed."What do I want? You are seriously asking me when you are the cause of everything." She screamed. She looked like a complete lunatic, totally different from the Zoey I knew. I couldn't believe my eyes, even with her standing in front of me andI felt the ping of a needle numb my heart
In what felt like an hour, I managed to successfully pull my hands out, and I winced in pain. I bent down to free my legs. running to the door barefoot. I opened it slightly, not wanting to attract any attention. I peered out to see if there was anyone out there, breathing out in relief when I saw no one.I opened the door, running out with no idea where I was going. I saw pieces of glass on the floor and picked up one in case I needed to defend myself. I kept on running until I slammed into a wall.No, not a wall, but a person.I slowly raised my head to see Marcos staring down at me with a demonic smile on his face. He grabbed my head tightly, making me wince in pain."I guess it's my turn to have fun," he says slyly. His grip tightened, almost pulling out my skull.I remembered the broken battle piece on my hand and used it to stab him in the waist. While loosening the grip on my head, I didn't stop there and kept stabbing him till he didn't move. I had blood splattered all over my
Sin pov.I felt like crap; I wasn't myself. It was like I was going to faint any moment now. I walked over to where Alesso sat, typing repeatedly on the laptop in front of him."Any update yet?" I asked him for the hundredth time since he came."The picture has been proven to be fake; whoever did it was an expert. They knew you would probably check to see if it was Photoshop and made sure you wouldn't be able to notice this:” Alesso says, empathizing with each word. "This took time; whoever did this was not in a rush, meaning they were well orchestrated.""Have you been able to pinpoint where she might be taken?" I growled."Sincerely, I'm trying my best. It's not easy to...""I don't care; I don't want you to try your best. I want you to find her; this is a matter for Mani and my child. So you better find her, or you will be sorry, Alesso." I threatened him and suddenly groaned at the sharp pain I felt in my head.It was like my head was being split in two. I felt a hand on my should
I was weak; I could barely move a hand or even blink my eyes. I was tied to a chair just like before, with dried blood plastered on my face. My head felt heavy, and my ears rang. I slowly began to regain consciousness, and my eyes finally opened.I was in a different room, and I'm guessing a different location from before. This room was dark, like the last one, but had no window. The only source of light was the white, dim light that kept blinking constantly.It looked a little cleaner than the last place I was kept, and it looked more like a basement. Because of how closed off the place was, I couldn't tell if it was morning, evening, or what day it was, but one thing was for sure: I had been passed out for some time, sipping in and out of consciousness.I can’t believe I was caught and kidnapped again after being this close to freedom. My throat hurt so much that I could hardly speak, and my body kept shivering due to how cold the place was. The smell of blood wasn't making it easy,
Sin's Pov.I walked into the kitchen, where Zoey sat with Samantha. As they both chatted among themselves, I walked to where the fridge was, in the same direction Zoey sat. My hand touched hers teasingly, the same way she did when I set out to look for Mani.These past few days, even though I was this close to losing my mind. I had to maintain my calm and not do anything rational. I have been leaving hints around her, making her think that I have some kind of feeling for her.I made my way to the fridge, taking out a bottle of water. I opened it, drinking it slowly, and little drops fell on my chest. According to Luca, this was an act of seductiveness, and ladies like it, though i agree to disagree with him.This was just pure foolishness.After I was done drinking, I threw the empty bottle into the dirt bin, brushing past her again as I made my way to my office, where Luca and Alesso were. I took a seat in my chair, my hands clenching tightly."How did it go? Did she fall for it?" Al
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. "
