ARSENIO'S POV“She worked for Don Rio.” “What?!!”“Yes, she worked for Don for so many years and if there is anyone who can give you information about Don, it is her.” Rocco said.“I find this very hard to believe, Rocco.” I said.“Why is that??”“Because Don doesn't let people who have worked for him go easily…most of them are killed by him.” I said.“From the information I got, she was his favorite and didn't want to kill her so he married her off to a foreigner.”“Well, that's more like Don but I still don't believe it.” I said.“What then are we going to do with the lady?? If you don't want her or even find her useful, then it's best we send her back or give her to another buyer.” Rocco said.I kept mute as I thought deeply about what to do.“Fuck!!!” I exclaimed loudly.“What is it??”“I will buy her.” I said.“Okay, it's settled..send the money to me and you have her but remember to be careful..we have no idea what must have transpired between Don and her for him to go as far a
ARSENIO'S POV“Isabella??!!!”If there was anyone I expected to see again in my lifetime, Isabella was not in that list.After she disappeared from my house without a trace in search of her family, I expected she found them and was happily married by now.“You know the lady??” Rocco asked.“Arsy??” she called.“Shut the fuck up!!!!” I boomed out.Rocco suddenly burst into laughter.“Arsy??? From the looks of it, it seems you both know each other well.” Rocco said.“I don't fucking know her…and I am not spending a dime of my money on her again.”“Again?? Now this is getting interesting…what do you mean by "again” because if you don't know the chick, then the word again wouldn't have popped up from your mouth” Rocco said.“The first time I met her, she was in trouble just like how she is right now …and I had to spend my hard earned money to bail her out…stronza maledetta( cursed bitch).” I bit out.“I am not deaf and can hear you loud and clear.” Isabella said.“Stai zitto(shut up)!!” R
ARSENIO’S POV“Happy 33rd birthday to you boss….happy birthday Renio.” Sergio and Irene said as they walked into the living room where I was seated watching tv.“What is happy about my birthday??

ARSENIO'S POV“Can you sit down for a while Clara, I have something I want to tell you.” Arsenio said.“What's going on Arsenio??? I noticed you have been acting strange since the hospital…tell me what's wrong.” Clara said.I didn't know if it was the right time to tell her or if it was right to tell her at all.“Arsenio!!!” Clara called as I snapped out of my thoughts.“Yes??” “You said you wanted to tell me something.” “Oh yes…”“Okay so what is it??” Clara asked.For the first time in my life I was confused and lost for words.My heart was heavy and I didn't know how to convey the bad news to Clara.“Give me a minute, I'll be right back.” I said as I dashed out of the room.I looked around for Irene as I figured out she would be in the right position to help me because she was also a woman.“Irene??

CLARA'S POV“You don't know who Arsenio really is, sweetheart, he is as evil and as deadly as his Father was.” “No, I know and trust him more than I trust myself because he has never harmed me or done anything to me since the day he rescued me from my so-called family.” I said.“Hmmm it seems like my mere words can't convince you…let's put this trust to a test shall we???” He asked as I looked at him In confusion.“What do you mean???” I asked.“I am going to send you back to Arsenio but when you get there, you have to act in a suspicious manner…act some kind of way and let's see if he suspects you..I know Arsenio to be very observant and is major problem is trust…I know for a fact that he will not trust you when you get back but let's put it to a test…let's see how much you trust your Arsenio that he wouldn't hurt you.” “I don't know if I can do it.” I said.“This is for you and for me…I want you to really know the kind of person you are dealing with and if it works and I turn out
ARSENIO'S POV“Clara!!!” I screamed as I rushed over to her.I shook her softly as I tapped repeatedly on her face.“Clara,wake up!!! Wake up!!”She looked so pale and was unresponsive and I grew confused with each passing moment on what had happened to her and why she was bleeding so much.“Did she hurt herself??” I asked.I felt her pulse and noticed it was barely there but she was still alive.“Sergio, what did you do??!!”“I didn't do anything to her boss.” Sergio said.“Then what the fuck is this??!!! Why is she bleeding like this??!!!”“I honestly don't know, boss…I think she needs urgent medical care.”Without responding or thinking twice, I hoisted her up as I carried her bridal style and raced over to the car.I didn't bother to place her on the car seat.I sat down and placed her on my lap while I wrapped my arms around her.Her clothes and my own clothes were all bloody but I didn't care at that moment.Sergio drove to the hospital like a maniac while Clara remained in my a

I am already so pissed off and I don't want to transfer that aggression to you.” I said.“Boss, what should we do with her???”Sergio asked as he tried to take back the laptop.“Leave it…I am not done with it and as for Clara, she will remain at the warehouse until I am ready to see her.” I said.“Arsenio please don't do that to her…she is going to die if you leave her there like that.” Irene said.“Then so be it!!!

CLARA’S POVI felt dizzy again as I almost fell on my face this time around.It's been two whole days and I still haven’t been able to sleep properly due to all the house chores that were kept for me to do.I had no choice but to wake up so early when the others were sleeping so I would be done with the chores before my stepmother woke up.After about an hour of washing dishes and cleaning the house, I decided to rest on the floor for a while at the corner of the living room since I wasn’t allowed to ever sit or lie on the couch.In the process of trying to rest, I didn’t know when I fell asleep.A few minutes later, I noticed that I was lifted from the ground but I was too dizzy to realize whatever was going on and as soon as I came back to my senses, I was thrown into the pool.“Just observe the look on her face!!!” Julius, my stepbrother said as he laughed.“It is completely priceless!!” Jerry, my second step brother, also said as he joined in the laughter.I was struggling so hard...
