CLARA'S POV“Clara??!!!” Ma'am Irene called.“Yes ma'am, I am coming!!!” I yelled as I let go of what I was doing in the living room and went into the kitchen.“Please help me flip that pie over so it won't get burnt.” She said.“Okay ma'am.” I said.Ma'am Irene was busy in the kitchen making some pie and Italian sauce while I was in the living room cleaning it.It's been two days since Arsenio's disagreement on not ever wanting a child and he had successfully avoided me like a plague in two days.He is barely seen around the house and when he gets back home and sees me, he doesn't spare me any glance.He is currently missing from the house again and for some reasons, I was not happy about it.“Ma'am Irene, can I ask a question??” “Of course Clara, go ahead.”“What was Sir's Father like??? Were you opportuned to see him??? and also, why does he have an intense hatred for his Mother and why did she abandon him??”I knew I wasn't the smartest but I wasn't dumb enough to know that somet
CLARA'S POVI was both shocked and dumbfounded to see Arsenio's Mother standing in the kitchen with us.“Please, I didn't come here for trouble….I came because I need help in reconciling with my son Arsenio.” “You should have thought about that before you abandoned him in the first place, Adaline!!!! Please leave from here because if Arsenio should return home to see you, all hell would break loose.” Ma'am Irene said.“I know exactly what my son is capable of doing Irene,you don't need to lecture me and as I said, I came here because I need the help from you and Clara to reconcile with Arsenio.” “I am sorry but there is no help for you here…if you want to reconcile with your son, think hard about ways to do it and leave Clara and I out of your sick games.” I watched quietly as both ma'am Irene and Arsenio's Mother exchanged words and I could sense the frustration from them.“Please let's not get into any argument, I beg of you…. ma'am Adaline, if what I have heard is indeed true, t
ARSENIO'S POVI had some business to take care of with Sergio but I forgot an important document back at home and so I decided to go back to get it.As for Clara, I avoided her after our last conversation because I made a promise to myself that I would never have a child.I didn't want to bring anyone into this world who would suffer the same fate as I did and so it was best to remain childless.As soon as I got back home, I was about to climb the stairs to my room when I heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen.I didn't want to believe that the witch was here amidst my warnings and so I headed to the kitchen but stopped in my tracks when she said something about her not abandoning me as a child.At first, I didn't want to hear the bullshit she was going to spill but I decided to wait behind the kitchen door and hear her out before taking any necessary actions.After she narrated her story from the beginning to the end, I stood there dumbfounded as my blood boiled inside of me.
CLARA’S POVAfter Arsenio stormed back into his room as soon as his Mother left, I felt completely shattered.It was at that moment I realized that just when you think your story is bad, you would find out someone else's is worse.“Go, I'll be with you shortly…if possible try to cheer him up.”ma'am Irene said.“Okay ma'am.” I said as I headed towards Arsenio's room.As soon as I got closer, I suddenly heard some shattering sounds coming from his room.I increased the pace of my movement as I rushed over to the door and as soon as I twisted the doorknob, I realized he locked the door from within.“Arsenio, please open the door.” I said as I heard more shattering sounds.I kept on banging and screaming Arsenio's name in fear because I had no idea what was going on inside his room.It got to a point where I had to inform ma'am Irene but nothing changed as Arsenio refused to open the door.A whole day went by so quickly and Arsenio didn't respond to me or ma'am Irene.She called him on hi
CLARA'S POVI squinted my eyes open as I looked around in confusion.It took me a while before I realized what had happened to me but how I got to my room was what I couldn't understand.“Ma'am Irene??” I called in a hoarse voice.My throat stung as hell as I got up from the bed.“You should lie down Clara!!! Don't try to get up.” Ma'am Irene said as she walked into the room with a plate on her hand.“What's that?? And where is sir???” I asked.“First, it's soup for your throat and second, forget about Arsenio for now and focus on your recovery.”“But I am fine ma'am.” I said.“With a voice like that??? No you aren't…drink up and make sure nothing remains.” She said.I took the plate from her as I tasted the soup.“It's bitter.” I said as I scrunch my face in disgust.“Bevi (drink up).” She said.I drank up the soup in a single gulp as I shook my head in displeasure.“You will feel better soon but how's your neck??”“It hurts a bit.” I said.“A bit??? With that nasty bruise I see??? I
CLARA'S POV“Stay.” Arsenio snuggled deeper behind me and for the first time in a long time, I felt the intimacy of his warmth.“Are you okay???” I asked in almost a whisper.“Does your neck hurt??” He asked, ignoring my question.“Yeah, it does.” I said.“If you are expecting an apology from me, you aren't getting any.”“I wasn't expecting any apology, Arsenio, I kinda deserved it “ I said.As much as I didn't deserve getting strangled almost to death, it was my fault for not giving Arsenio what he asked for.“Do not let Arsenio drag you in with him but instead pull him out.” The words of ma'am Irene kept on ringing inside my head.“Good.” He breathed.“Are you okay??” I asked again hoping to get a response from him this time around.“I don't know exactly how I am feeling at the moment.” Arsenio said.“I don't understand your words.” I said.“I am supposed to be angry or sad or frustrated but right now, I feel completely blank and empty.”“Do you want to do something??” I asked.“No
ARSENIO'S POV“Yes Sergio, I was indisposed…what is it???” I asked as I picked up the call.“Boss, the deal you have been trying to secure for months now, I do not know how Elijah got a hold of the dealers but I was just told that they want to back out of it because Elijah has got a better offer.” Sergio said.“How fucking dare he??!!! Who the fuck does he think he is??!!!” I yelled in anger.This was a deal that I placed my blood, sweat and hard earned money into wanting to secure for months and one son of a bastard from nowhere can't just jeopardize it for me.“We need to act fast, boss because if Elijah should succeed in whatever his plans are, then you could lose this deal.”“Get the car now!!!….I am going to teach that bastard a final lesson that he won't forget in a hurry!!!” “Yes boss.” Sergio said as he hung up the call.“What's going on Arsenio??” Clara asked with a worried look on her face.“None of your business Clara.” I said.I was about to walk away from her when she ra
ARSENIO'S POVThe rage I felt earlier intensified as I crushed the glass of drink in my hand much to Carlo's surprise.“He is your brother right??”“He is not my brother.” I gritted out.“I suggest that whatever you both have going on be settled amongst you and maybe come to a truce and handle the deal together.”“Never!!!!! A deal I have single handedly been pursuing for months, you want me to share it with someone else??? That's not how Arsenio does business Carlo…. isn't there any other way to change this??? To make this deal all mine??? I am willing to pay heavily for it.” I said.“As you know my dear friend Arsenio, this deal doesn't revolve around me alone….I don't know what this Elijah Robert did but he sure knows his way around..I would advise you to reach out to him and talk…if you still want the deal to be yours.” I stood up in anger as I tried calming myself to prevent doing something drastic.“Thank you for your time Carlo…I will get back to you soon.”“Alright Arsenio, w
WRITER'S POVAs soon as Arsenio and Sergio got back to Italy, without wasting any time further, Sergio headed straight to Elijah's house to pick up Adaline.Before Sergio's arrival at Elijah's residence, he made sure to confirm that Elijah was nowhere to be seen around the house and after his confirmation, he took a few men on his way with him and arrived there an hour later.Just as Sergio had suspected, Elijah had men stationed around the house for security but they were all taken down smartly and quietly by Sergio's men.As soon as the coast was completely clear, Sergio walked into the house and found Adaline sitting on the couch in the living room while reading a book.“Hello to you Adaline.” Sergio said.Adaline looked at Sergio in so much shock and confusion as she wondered how he got access into the house.“Sergio??? How did you gain access to this place and why are you even here??? If Elijah finds out about this???”“First of all, gaining access into this place was a piece of
ARSENIO'S POV“Don Rio?? You have got to be fucking kidding me!!!!” I yelled out in anger as I ran my hands through my hair repeatedly.“I was shocked too when I found out that your brother is taking sides with the enemy to bring you down.”“My brother is also the fucking enemy!!!”“What are we going to do now, Arsenio??? If you know Don Rio so well, you should also know that your woman isn't in Seychelles anymore by now.” Grey said.As much as I didn't want to agree with Grey, he was right because Don Rio knew his way around every country.He learnt very well from my Father and at some point, I suspected he was an illegitimate son of my Father because of how much my Father loved and cherished him.It's no surprise that Elijah is working with him because birds of a fucking feather.As I paced back and forth in confusion thinking of the next step and action to take, my phone suddenly started ringing.“Sergio??” I called as I picked up the phone.“Boss, we have not so good news.” He sai
CLARA'S POV I looked wide eyed as I asked myself why I keep getting surrounded with Maniacs. Arnold kept on groaning in pain and the smirk on the face of the one who shot him was replaced with a deadly glare. “Shut it.” He said. Instantly, Arnold stopped groaning as he looked up while holding onto his bleeding arm. “Did I ask you to touch her??” He asked. “No boss.” “Then what is this nasty fucking mark on her face??!!!!” “I am sorry boss, she was acting stubborn and so I decided to do it to teach her a lesson….I deeply apologize, boss.” “You slapped my guest to teach her a lesson???” “Guest???” I asked myself as I mentally scoffed. “Forgive me boss, it will never happen again.” “Get lost.” Arnold, like the speed of light, disappeared from the living room in seconds. “I am sorry about that sweet cheeks, hope you aren't hurt??” He asked as he touched my face. “Leave me the fuck alone!!! Who are you and Why have you brought me here???!!!” I yelled as I swip
CLARA'S POV“A simple job couldn't be executed by you fuckers!!!”“But we brought her here in one piece, didn't we??”“You call this in one piece??? She's been out cold for hours!!!!! What did you fucking give her???!!!”As I struggled to open my eyes, I kept on hearing sounds of people talking and after trying for a few minutes, I was able to gently squint my eyes open.“She Is awake.”“Finally!!!!”I opened my eyes fully as I looked around in confusion and a few seconds later, the events that happened earlier flooded my head.I was about to scream when one of the men in the strange room I was kept covered my mouth.“Shut the fuck up!!!! If you try to scream after I remove my hand from your mouth, I'll make sure I cut off your tongue and burn your throat leaving you voiceless forever, am I understood???”I shook my head in response as tears gathered in my eyes, threatening to drip down my face.“Good girl.” He said as he roughly removed his hand from my face.“What is your name???” T
ARSENIO'S POVWARNING (VIOLENT SCENE)I continued shooting at him while he ducked every of the bullets I fired and I was getting frustrated by it because he needed to be dealt with once and for all.I noticed he suddenly stopped shooting and I used the opportunity to burst out of the bathroom and before he could run away, I shot at his leg.“Arrrggggghhh!!!” He screamed and groaned in pain.“Shut the fuck up!!!” I yelled as I kicked him in the same leg I shot him.“Please forgive me sir….I was only doing my job!!! Please don't kill me.”“So your fucking job was to come kill me??? Is that it??!!!”“I was paid heftily to do it sir.”“Who sent you??” I asked.I noticed he became extremely quiet and in anger, I slapped him hard across the face.“Ho detto chi cazzo ti ha mandato( I said who fucking sent you)???!!! I yelled in anger.“I don't exactly know who sir, but the one who paid me, I can tell you who he is.”"You are trying to say that the person who paid you to fucking kill me was s
ARSENIO'S POV“Boss, everything is going smoothly.” Sergio said.“Good…now test the tracker to see if it's working perfectly well.” I said.“Right away boss.”Everything that has been happening including Clara's kidnap, I knew about it from the beginning and from the moment Clara went missing while I searched for her.Before she came to me, Sergio had already seen her with someone who I never expected to see here in Seychelles.Grey was more of a frenemy than a friend and as soon as Sergio informed me that he was with Clara, I suspected something was definitely fishy.Grey does not go on vacations or holidays except when he is placed on an official assignment and this was one important piece of information I got to know about him after conducting a thorough investigation on him years ago.As soon as Sergio informed me of seeing Grey with Clara, I knew that my enemy had probably sent him to Seychelles to get to me and so I began my plot from there.I informed Sergio to act neutral and
CLARA’S POV“Gun?? Why do you need a gun??? Why did you even bring a gun here with you???” I asked.I knew that Arsenio was into some dangerous business but bringing a gun with him to like this was something I never expected to say the least.“I don't think that should be any of your concern Clara, ho capito(am I understood)??”“No you are not…Arsenio, what business are you really into??” I asked as I gazed at him.“Babygirl, don't you know that there are some certain informations that is best left unknown???”“And why should your profession be among the things that should be unknown??” I asked with curiosity.“Because if you know, it could get you killed.” He said as he winked at me.“It's not funny, Arsenio.”“And do you see me laughing baby girl???”“Just give me a hint at least.”“Curiosity kills the cat Clara and I do not want you getting killed.”“I should be the one to worry about that and not you Arsenio…. please tell me what your business is…please.”“I buy and sell.” Arsenio
CLARA'S POV“Oh fuck it!!! We would get back to the slide later!! But for now I need to take care of something else.” “What is that??” I asked.“You will find out soon.” He said as he pulled my hand and took me back to the beach apartment.As soon as we got to the apartment, Arsenio suddenly turned me around as I gasped in shock.“Do you have any idea what you do to me girl??” Arsenio whispered in my ears as he spanked my butt.“No, what do I do??” I asked as bit my lips.“You really want to know babygirl???”“Yeah I do.”“Hmmm, let me show it to you then.” Arsenio said as he gently pulled down my swim suit panties and then turned me around as he pushed me on my knees while I gazed intently at his huge bulge from his pants.WARNING (MATURE CONTENT)I pulled down his pants as I softly rubbed his bulge from his briefs.“Oh fuck!!! That feels so good baby.” Arsenio moaned as he threw his head backwards and shut his eyes.I continued rubbing his bulge as it grew bigger by the second.Aft
ELIJAH’S POV“Where did you say he is right now???” I asked as my blood Boiled in rage.“Seychelles boss.”“That son of a bitch is in Seychelles when he is well aware of his Mother’s condition???!!!” I yelled as I smashed my phone on the wall.“Sir, I heard a smashing sound..is anything the matter??” My housekeeper said as she ran into my room.“Did I give you the permission to barge into my room??” I asked in anger.“No sir, I just thought…”“Get lost!!!!” “Y…y…y….yes sir.” she said as she raced out of my room.I took my car keys and stormed out of the house as I drove like a maniac to my Mother’s house.Ever since the incident that led to her being hospitalized, she had not been the same again as she barely eats or speaks to anyone.The doctor said it’s depression and that the state of her mind is very weak at the moment and all of these happened because of that bastard.After arriving at my Mother’s house, I stormed again into the living room.“Welcome sir.” Janice, my Mother's ho
