ARSENIO'S POV“She is not yours!!! She belongs to our boss and when she pays her money in full, she can leave but for now, she should be working for the money!!!!”“I will pay the money….send me your boss's details now.” I said.I couldn't believe I was about to spend another huge sum of money for a stranger I met and it was like the whole drama in my life wasn't ending soon.“The fool thinks we are playing!!!” One of them said as they burst into laughter.“It's 40 million Euros and you want to pay that amount of money for a worthless piece of trash like her??? Besides, you don't even look like you have a penny with you.”“Send me the details now!!!” I threatened.They instantly gave me the details as I made a transfer of 40 million Euros.“Done…..call your so-called Boss for confirmation and leave the girl alone.”They called their boss almost immediately and I could see the shocked looks on their faces as they let go of Isabella.She ran over to where I was as they glared at her and
ARSENIO'S POV“Good…now listen carefully to the two things that you are going to do for me…one, you are going to bring my package as soon as I get back to Italy.”“Fine…I will send your package for you.” Elijah said as he groaned louder in pain.“And two, you are going to find Clara's Mother for me.”“That is impossible!!! That bitch is like a ghost!!! She hasn't been found for years and even Monalisa's Father couldn't find her.”“Oh so you know about that and you still told Monalisa about Clara knowing fully well the kind of person she was.” I said as I glared at Elijah.“Telling her about Clara was a mistake.”“Well, you have your chance to rectify that mistake….search for Clara's Mother and deliver her to me and I would take it up from there.”“What are you going to do with her??” Elijah asked.“That isn't any of your concern bastard."“And what if I refuse to do it??”“You have no choice Elijah…. it's either that or your dead body follows me back to Italy so your Mother can have a
ARSENIO'S POV“What the actual fuck is wrong with you??!!!” I yelled as I pushed her away.“Just one kiss please.” She said as she pouted and walked closer to me again.“Isabella!!!” I thundered.She gasped in shock as stood still as she gazed at me and a few seconds later, she burst into tears.“In che diavolo mi sono cacciato( what the hell have I gotten myself into)???” I asked myself.“Why are you treating me this way??? Did I ever do something wrong to you??? I don't even know your name.” Isabella said as she cried harder.“Okay, you have had enough to drink…let's go.” I said to her.“No, I won't go until you kiss me.” She said as she suddenly stopped crying.“I don't have time for this bullshit Isabella…we are leaving.” I left some money at the table for the drinks as I grabbed Isabella's hand and dragged her out of the club while she rebelled and tried to get free from my grasp.“Lasciami in pace (leave me alone)” she groaned loudly.“Be quiet!!!!”She thankfully became quiet
CLARA'S POVArsenio's thoughts have been on my mind ever since he traveled and if it was possible to travel over to where he was just to see him, I would have done that in a heartbeat.“Ma'am Irene, is it possible for me to speak to Renio with your phone??” I asked Irene.“Sure dear but what happened to yours???”The memory of Arsenio smashing it to the ground suddenly flashed inside my head.“Well, I lost it.” I said.“No problem…I'll send a text message to him now telling him you want to speak with him and whatever his response is, I'll let you know.”“Thanks ma'am Irene.”She sent a text message to Arsenio and gave me feedback that he would call soon alleviating my happiness.Ma'am Irene dropped her phone with me and headed to bed while I waited patiently for Arsenio's call.After waiting for an awfully long time for his call, he finally texted and called almost immediately I responded to his text message.As soon as I heard his soothing voice, my stomach churned in desire and I wa
CLARA'S POV“Oh trust me Clara, you will know when I am done with you.” Arsenio said in a low voice sending shivers down my spine.WARNING (mature content)**************He suddenly switched on the shower, getting himself all drenched as he slowly kissed my neck while holding onto my waist from behind.I could feel the huge bulge in his pants As I moved my butt slowly against it.“Clara, don't do that….I am trying as much as I can not to lose control of myself right now and you are pushing it.”“Am not doing anything.” I said in almost a whisper.“Oh trust me, you know exactly what you are doing….do you know how badly I wanted to leave Istanbul just so I could have you in my arms and what did you do, you fucking hung up the call on me.” He said as he spanked my butt for the second time.“Ouch, that hurts.” I exclaimed as I was about to rub my butt when Arsenio caught my hand.“You are getting punished, remember???” He whispered into my ears.He suddenly spanked my butt again as I gas
ARSENIO'S POV“Shit!!!!” I exclaimed loudly as I couldn't get through to Clara anymore.“Hey, grumpy pants, keep it down….am trying to sleep.” Isabella groaned.In anger I carried her from my body and dropped her on the bed harshly.“Ouchhh, that hurttttt.” She said slurringly as she went back to bed.I went back into my room pacing back and forth as I tried getting through to Clara but was not reachable.Throughout the night, I had an unsettling feeling inside of me and I couldn't get any sleep as I sat on the sofa in the room staring blankly into air in anger.I didn't know how long I sat down lost in thoughts but when I checked the time, it was already 7AM in the morning.“Fuck!!!” I cursed out as I ran my hands through my hair repeatedly.My phone suddenly rang and when I checked the calling ID, it was Sergio.“Sergio, how are you doing??? Feeling better??” “Very well boss….I have discharged myself and arranged for our chopper to fly back to Italy.” He said.If Sergio was a woman
CLARA'S POVAfter I asked Arsenio who the lady who barged into the room was, I suspected something was amidst from the way he diverted the question.As soon as she took her hand and pulled her away, my curiosity got the better of me as I followed behind and opened his door slightly to eavesdrop on their conversation.“She is not my fucking girlfriend but my maid who means nothing to me so mind your fucking business Isabella.” Arsenio said to the stranger when she asked if I was girlfriend.Hearing those harsh words come out of Arsenio's mouth shattered my heart.Tears gathered in my eyes as I gazed at him through the door and as soon as his eyes met mine, I couldn't detect any hint of guilt on his face as he walked down to the door and slammed it on my face.I walked away and went downstairs to ma'am Irene to perform my maid duties since that was what I was and when I got to the living room, I saw Sergio having a talk with ma'am Irene.I stayed still at the corner of the stairs so I c
ARSENIO'S POVAs soon as I shut the door on Clara's face, a wave of guilt hit me as I reminisced on the look on her face while I was shutting the door.“Why did you shut the door???” Isabella asked.“Now I want you to listen to me Isabella and listen real good…I know this is the first time in a long time you are coming to Italy and so I will only allow you stay here for three days and you are gone after that!!! Am I clear??”The real reason why I want Isabella to stay here is because of Clara.I don't want Clara to develop any romantic feelings for me and so, I was going to use Isabella as my pawn to get to her.“Really??? thank you so much!!”“I am not doing you any favors….I just want you to get settled before you begin the search for your family and after that, I am not going to see your face again.”“But I have no family.” She muttered.“You didn't fucking drop from the sky Isabella….you have a family and also remember that in the course of your stay here, you mind your fucking bu
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
ARSENIO'S POVI squinted my eyes open as I looked around In confusion.A long syringe was attached to my hand and I was in a strange looking room and also lying on a strange looking bed.It was at that moment it immediately dawned on me what had happened and how I suddenly started feeling off as soon as I ate the food served by Clara.“Shit!!!!!!” I exclaimed out loud.“Hmmm…. Arsenio, you are finally awake!!” Someone said in a low voice.I looked across me and saw Irene sitting up from the chair with very sleepy eyes as she yawned.“Irene??? What are you doing here???”“You are welcome.” She said as she rolled her eyes.“Where the fuck is she??!!!!” I yelled but immediately started groaning as I felt intense pain in my stomach.“First of all, welcome back to the land of the living and secondly, you should be more concerned about your health right now more than anything because you have been unconscious for a day and half.”“What???!!!”“Yes, the doctor said you were in a really criti
WRITER'S POV“Doctor, what exactly is wrong with him???” Irene asked with a worried look on her face.“Where did you say you found him again???” The doctor asked.“In his room lying helplessly on the ground.”“Did he eat or drink something before you found him???”“Not that I know of but I did find a tray of food on the bed close to where I found him.”“Who served the food to him???”“Why are you asking all these questions, doctor??? I don't understand.” “Madam, the person you brought in here was clearly poisoned and this seems like a case of an attempted murder.”Irene's eyes opened widely in shock as she couldn't understand the words of the doctor.“Attempted murder??? By who??? I don't understand.” Irene said.“You need to carry out more investigations and especially on who gave him the food he consumed.”“But how is he doing doctor???” “He is in a bad shape at the moment as the poison got to some of his major organs….but he will be closely observed for a while and until we see a
ARSENIO’S POV“What will you do if you find out your Father whom you have thought to be dead for a long time is actually alive and well??” Clara said.As soon as she asked that question, I detached my arms from around her as I flipped her around so she could look at me.“What did you just say??” I asked.“I said if you find out your Father is indeed alive even after presuming he has been dead for the longest time, what would you do??” she asked again as she gazed intently into my eyes.“And why the fuck will you ask me such question??? Why??” I asked.“It’s just a harmless question, Arsenio.” she said.As I looked at Clara closely, I could notice something about her was different but I just couldn’t place my hands on what changed.“I do not feel like answering that question.” I said.“I am sorry if I asked such a sensitive question..it’s just that I got thinking about how my Mother suddenly showed up after I thought she was dead right from childhood and as much as I am a bit comfortab
ARSENIO’S POV“At the house standing right in front of me.” “What??? What do you mean by that??” I asked in confusion as I sat up straight.“Clara just entered the house and she is right in front of me.” Sergio said.For some reason, I suddenly remembered Don Rio’s words when he said I didn’t need to find Clara and that she was going to find me.“Sergio, do something for me quickly…check if she is armed.” I said.“I don’t get you boss.”“Check if she is armed, Sergio!!! Check for guns or bombs or anything immediately.”“Yes boss.” Sergio said and I could hear Clara protesting against what Sergio was doing from the background of the phone and a few seconds later, he informed me that she had nothing on her.“I will be there soon but till then, don’t let her out of your sight.” I said as I hung up the call.I dropped the bottle of Scotch as I zoomed out of the bar and headed straight to the house.Took me a while due to traffic but I finally got home after an hour and half.I parked my
