CLARA'S POV“It is a long story Clara and I will tell you everything later on but just know that if I have a chance to hurt that bastard you call your boss the way he did to my Mother some years ago, I would do it without thinking twice about it.” “You can hurt Arsenio???” I asked as I Chuckled softly.“Why are you laughing??? He isn't a god is he??? As long as he is a human like you and I and has blood running through his veins then why can't he get hurt???”It's either Alonzo didn't fully understand the kind of person Arsenio was or his boldness was on another level outside of earth.“Alright then, I believe you.” I said smiling.“Your mouth says one thing but your facial expression says another.” “Really??? I don't think that's the case Alonzo.” I said.“You know what I like???” He asked.“What???”“It's the way my name rolls out of your mouth Clara…it sounds so sexy in my ears.”I blushed so hard that I felt like my face was going to burst.“You aren't going to say anything beau
ARSENIO'S POV“To fucking get her back!!!”“Renio!!!! You aren't going anywhere and especially not bringing her back here until she wants to come back.” Irene said.I suddenly burst into laughter.“I respect you Irene but you need to know your limits…..I brought Clara into this house and I can do with her whatever I please and neither you nor any other person can do anything about it.”“Renio, please just let her stay for a few days and she will be back….Please I beg of you.”“What is your deal Irene??? Why are you pleading on Clara's behalf???!!! It is beginning to piss me off.” I said.“I really don't know what you have against Clara Renio but please give her some breathing space….you told me when she came here that she was an assistant housekeeper and not a slave and as such she is free to some extent to leave the house and have fun.”“Isabella told me someone came to pick her up…who was that??” I asked.I noticed Irene became awfully quiet."Who the fuck was it Irene??!!!"“It was
CLARA'S POV“The answer is Yes, I have developed feelings for Alonzo, sir.” I blurted out.The truth was that I had no idea if what came out of my mouth was the right thing but I was honestly sick and tired of Arsenio's behavior.I had no feelings for Alonzo because it would be absurd to catch feelings for someone I only spent a few hours with and besides, I didn't know Alonzo so well but I did enjoy every moment I spent with him.Arsenio abruptly stopped the car as he tightened his fist on the steering wheel.He turned his head towards me slowly and gave me a deadly glare.“What the fuck did you just say??”“I said I have feelings for him….Sir.”“Repeat that one more time Clara....I dare you.”Arsenio threatened.“Why are you threatening me sir??? You asked me a question and I answered.” I said.“You call that an answer!!!! Don't fucking dare me Clara!!!”“With all due respect sir what can you do???” I asked.I was done with Arsenio's attitude and threats and at that moment I was read
CLARA'S POV“Then have me Arsenio.” I said in almost a whisper.I could tell Arsenio was confused about what he felt for me and something told me deep down that he had feelings for me stacked up somewhere. I also felt like if I gave myself to him, he would open up about his feelings and treat me better.“No, not like this!!! You are saying it like you are being forced to.” Arsenio said.I walked slowly towards him and gazed intensely at him.“I am yours Arsenio, you can have me.” I reaffirmed.Arsenio suddenly wrapped his hands around my face and crashed his lips on mine.WARNING (mature content)It was a slow and needy kiss as our lips moved in sync with each other.His breath smelt like fresh mint as he bit my bottom lip softy, I gasped and he took advantage of the opportunity to shove his tongue inside my mouth.As our tongues fought for dominance, I moaned softly as Arsenio wrapped his hand around my waist pulling me closer to him.I wrapped my hands around his shoulder as I ran
ARSENIO'S POVClara fell asleep almost as soon as I told her to get some rest and I Chuckled softly because of how cute she was.My eyes racked through her body and suddenly landed on the sheets and it was a bit stained with little droplets of blood and I bit my lips awkwardly.I stood up and went to the bathroom and ran a warm bath and as soon as I was done, I carried Clara bridal style and took her into the bathroom as she snuggled closer into my arms.She was indeed a deep sleeper especially when she was exhausted.I carefully ran her a bath to prevent from waking up and as soon as I did she moaned softly, making me instantly turned on and I wanted to be inside of her again.After I was done running her a bath, I carried her and carefully placed her on the sofa while I changed the sheets.As soon as I was done, I took her to the bed and covered her up.I also ran myself a bath and decided to order some food before she woke up because I knew she would be starving.I've been with a w
ARSENIO'S POV“Boss, Elijah just informed me that he has found Clara's Mother.” Sergio said.I looked around to make sure Clara wasn't out of the bathroom yet.“What??? How???” I asked Sergio.“I have no idea boss but I got a call from him telling me he found her whereabouts and that his work was done.”“What work is fucking done???!!! That bastard shouldn't test my patience!!!”“But on the contrary boss, isn't his work done?? He has found Clara's Mother's whereabouts and it is now left to us to take it up from there.” “I have a feeling that that bastard is lying….let me give him a call now, I will get back to you.” I said to Sergio as I hung up the call.To prevent Clara from hearing my conversation with Elijah, I walked out of the room and went downstairs.I dialed Elijah's number but he didn't pick up the first time and so I dialed again.“Why are you calling me Arsenio, I thought I already gave Sergio a message to pass across to you??” Elijah said as he picked the call.“Sei fott
ARSENIO'S POV“I am not letting go of you Arsenio so do your worst.” Clara said as I sent her a deadly glare.I didn't understand what Clara's problem was but I was not in the mood for her childish tantrums.I pushed her away as she stumbled slightly and as she was about to revolt, we heard the sounds of gunshots as Clara covered her ears and bent down in fear.“Stay here and don't fucking leave!!!!” I yelled as I walked out of the room.WARNING (violence and graphic scene)I carefully snuck around the hallway and headed downstairs and I could see one of them peeping through the living room as I pointed the gun at him and blew his head as blood splattered all over the floor.I noticed there were more than two men who came to assassinate me but I wasn't scared as I was already used to it.I quietly climbed down from the stairs and headed to the balcony as I sighted another one close to my patio.I shot at him but I missed him by just a few inches as he shot back while I dodged the bull
CLARA'S POVI couldn't believe that I finally gave myself to Arsenio and thinking he would change after that was probably the worst unorganized thought I have ever had.After I stormed out of the room, I sat down at the hospital's reception lost in thoughts about Arsenio and his work because I didn't understand why armed men always came around the house with intentions to kill him.“Is he into some gang shit???” I asked myself.As I continued with my thoughts, I overheard someone talking to a nurse.“Where is Arsenio Robert's room please??” She asked.I looked up and was shocked to see Arsenio's ex wife at the hospital.What I couldn't understand was if Arsenio called her or if she found out on her own about the incident but whatever it was, I needed to know.The nurse showed her to his room as I followed behind unnoticed.“Oh my goodness!!!!Baby??!??” she said as she walked into the room while I stood outside the door eavesdropping.“Monalisa??? What the fuck are you doing here??!!!!
ARSENIO’S POVAs soon as I gave Isabella the instructions, I headed upstairs to my room as I sat on the couch.I stood up and poured myself a shot of whiskey as I opened my laptop to access what Ricardo sent for me a while back.Even though it was hopeless because I knew it couldn’t be Clara, I still opened it to give myself the benefit of doubt.As soon as I opened the files and accessed the pictures, I was about to take another shot of whiskey when I suddenly stopped halfway.I checked the pictures over and over again as it was so clear and when I zoomed into the pictures, the person was the exact replica of Clara but the finer and more mature version of her.“This can’t be.” I said to myself as I dropped the glass on my hands and accessed more of the pictures.It was my Clara and for the first time in 5 years I didn’t know how to react to what I saw.I looked at the pictures over and over again and I still couldn’t believe my eyes.I picked up my phone and dialed Ricardo’s number a
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?? I thought I told you guys that no one should celebrate my birthday or even go as far as wishing me one???” “Sorry boss.” Sergio said as he walked away.“Renio, it’s been five years…isn’t it time for you to move on???” Irene asked.It’s been five gruesome years….five years since Clara ran away from my house and left me…five years since I have searched the ends of the earth for her without any luck..five miserable years of pain and torment..it’s been five lonely years since the one whom I realized I loved too late left me.“I am not going to move on and even if it means going to hell to find her, I will!!” I bit out.“Arenio what are you saying?? For the past five years, you have been a shadow of yourself…you have become more inaccessible and ruthless and you think you can find Clara by doing
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?? Irene??!!” I called.“I am in the kitchen Renio..” she yelled.I went into the kitchen as I rested on the side of the kitchen door.“Irene, I can't…I just can't.” I said.“Can't what?
ARSENIO'S POV“Was pregnant sir, I am so sorry to say but she just lost her baby.”As soon as those words flew out of the doctor's mouth, for a moment it felt like the world stopped moving.Everything was in slow motion and it suddenly felt like air was knocked out of me.“Boss??” Sergio called.“She was pregnant with my child?? And she has lost the child??” I said.“Yes sir..we are sorry…she lost a lot of blood and because she was still in her Early stage, the baby couldn't stay.”“Fuck!!!!!! Fucking hell!!!!!” I. Exclaimed loudly.“I am so sorry boss…it's my fault.” Sergio said.I wasn't listening to anything anybody was saying as my mind went completely blank.I was a father for the first time and I ruined it.“Sergio, do one thing for me.” I said.“Anything boss.”“Just go home…I will remain here in the hospital with Clara until she wakes up and I don't want her to see you for now.”“Noted boss…let me know if you need anything and I am sorry once again for your loss.” Sergio said
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
ARSENIO'S POV“Oh my goodness!!! Why would she do this??” Irene exclaimed loudly.I wasn't just angry at the moment but I was in rage.After everything I did for Clara, after helping her escape from the vipers she called family, this was how she chose to pay me back...by killing me.“There must be a mistake Arsenio, you and I Know very well that Clara would never do such a thing.” Irene said as she still tried to defend Clara.“Enough Irene!!!! 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!!! That is what she gets for trying to double cross me and pay my kindness back with evil.”I knew exactly what I was doing and I wasn
