ARSENIO'S POV“The house is under attack.” I said.“What??? How?? Why??” Clara asked.“Fanculo!!! Sergio, get the guys and come back immediately!!”“Right away boss.”I brought out my gun and could see the fear in Clara's eyes seeing the gun.“What??? It's not something you haven't seen before.” I said, rolling my eyes.“Why is the house under attack sir??” She asked again.“You need not concern yourself about that.” I said.Suddenly the gunshots were heard again and Clara ran and hid in my back.“Where the Fuck is Irene??!!!” I asked.“I don't know sir…she went inside to rest earlier on.”“Irene!!!” I yelled.A few seconds later, she ran towards us.“What is it, Renio??”“Didn't you hear the gunshots???” I asked.“Gunshots?? What gunshots??” She asked in confusion.“Dove eravate (where were you)??” I asked.“Ero in bagno (I was in the bathroom)” she said.“Take Clara and you both should go hide in the safe room until I say otherwise.” I said.“No!!!! What about you??” Clara said.“Th
CLARA'S POV"Do it!!!! Kill me and end my misery!!!!?!!" I yelled in anger and hurt.Suddenly, Arsenio dropped the gun in his hand and held his head as he looked around in confusion.I too was confused because I had never seen him like that before.After holding his head for a while, he suddenly dropped to the ground."Arsenio!!!!" I screamed as I knelt down beside him and shaked him vigorously.I checked my hands and I saw blood and I opened my eyes wide in shock wondering where the blood was coming from.Suddenly, I saw him bleeding from his shoulder and as I carefully observed it, I saw that it looked more like a gunshot wound."Arsenio!!! Please wake up!!! Ma'am Irene!!!!! Somebody help!!!!" I screamed while crying bitterly in fear.Madam Irene, Sergio and Axel rushed in."What happened to him??" Madam Irene asked with a worried look on her face."He was shot...we need to take him to his room." Sergio said with little or no emotions on his face."But what about a hospital??? Can't
CLARA’S POV“What the fuck do you think you are doing??” Arsenio asked as he gazed at me intensely.“Hmm…n…no..noth…nothing.” I said stuttering.I tried getting up from the bed but his grip on my hand prevented me from doing so.“Please let go of me.” I said.“Why are you in my room??? What the fuck happened to me??” he asked.“Just let go of me first and I will explain everything.” I said as he tightened the grip on my hand.He continued his intense gaze at me as he slowly loosened the grip on my hand.“Now talk.” he said.“You passed out….I don’t know if you can remember but you were shot and kept on bleeding a lot and so you passed out and a doctor came over here to take care of you.” I said.“Where is he??” he asked.“Where is who??” I asked in confusion.“The doctor Cretina( dumbass).” “Ohh…he left a while ago and told us that you would be asleep for a while but apparently that doesn’t seem to be the case.” I said.“And Sergio???”“He left for important work and asked me to take
ARSENIO’S POVWARNING!!! MILD RATED CONTENT AHEAD“I want you.” I said to Clara as I gazed intensely at her.The actual truth was that I didn’t feel anything for Clara. I just wanted her innocence and wanted to make her mine and to spoil her into the person I wanted her to be.Ever since she came into my life and my house, there has been something in her that pulls me closer and it was my goal to find out what it was regardless of what it took.“w…what..d..do…y…y..you…mean?? She asked, nervously.“I have seen the way you look at me Clara…I know you want me as much as I want you and I am here to make that desire of yours come to reality.”“That is not true.” she said.I walked closer to her as she walked backwards and just when she had nowhere to walk to anymore, she stopped.“You don’t want me??” I asked.“That is not what I mean sir.”“Then what do you want, Clara?? Or do you want me to make the decision for you??”She was awfully quiet as she gazed at me and bit her lips so tightly
CLARA'S POV“Teach me how to please you.” I said In almost a whisper.Honestly the new found boldness I was beginning to have, I had no idea where it was coming from but I just wanted Arsenio to be pleased with me.“What did you just say??” He asked.I could see the genuine shock on his face and for a moment I thought I had messed up so badly.“I…I…mean…emm…nevermind.” I said as I bit my lips.“Oh no….I heard exactly what you said but I want you to repeat it again.” Arsenio said as he walked closer to me and I noticed his eyes kinda darkened.“Teach me to please you.” I whispered as I bit my lips in shyness.“You want me to teach you how to please me??”“Yes….th…that…is..if you don't mind.” “Oh I definitely don't mind at all Clara but are you sure you can handle it??” “I will try.” I said.“Okay but first you have to tie your hair up in a ponytail.” He said.WARNING ( RATED CONTENT AHEAD)*************“Huh??? but why???” I asked in confusion.“Are you going to do as I have asked or
ARSENIO'S POV“And also, don't go assuming bullshit in your head…whatever happened or will happen between us, doesn't mean shit to me….so get your acts right and do what I brought you here for.” I said to Clara as I walked out of the room.I didn't want her thinking that I had something to do with her because I didn’t do feelings or attachments especially with women.As long as I can remember, I have always believed women are only good for bed and nothing more than that.As soon as I got back into my room, I picked my phone and dialed Sergio's number.“Boss??” He said as he picked up.“Meet me in my room now.” I said as I hung up the call.A few minutes later, Sergio walked into my room with a confused expression on his face.“What is the matter, boss??? Did something happen because you sounded so upset when you called.” he said.“Any news about my package??” I asked.“Not yet boss but information getting to me now says that the package apparently hasn’t gotten to Don and that his men
ARSENIO'S POV“What the fuck do you mean by my Mother???!!!”“She is the one outside and she wouldn't leave.”“Fuck!!!! Fuck!!!! Fuck!!!!” I exclaimed in anger and frustration.The least person I expected to ever come to my house was my Mother because I gave her a very strict warning not to ever come to my house or close to me.“What should I do boss??? Should I let her in???”I knew that as long as my mother was outside my house, there was no way she was going to leave just like that.She was as stubborn as I was and that pissed me off.The anger in me arose gradually because I didn't want to see her face at all.“Did she come alone?? Hope she didn't bring that bastard son of hers???” I asked.“No boss, she is definitely alone.”“Are you fucking sure because if she enters my house with him, I am going to kill you.” I threatened.“I am sure boss, she came alone.”“Let her in.” I said.“Okay boss.”“And also, don't let her anywhere near my fucking room…she should wait for me in my livi
CLARA'S POV After whatever happened between Arsenio and I happened and he put me back in my place by telling me I shouldn't assume anything, I was honestly heartbroken because I really did assume he was warming up to me. I stayed put in my room as I laid on my bed and cried my eyes out. I just couldn't understand why everyone that I had come across with never accepted me as their own and not even my own family. Arsenio was kind enough to allow me to stay at his house and it was my responsibility to repay that kindness to him but I didn't understand why he kept on pushing me further away. I stayed in my room for heaven knows how long until I heard yelling. I got up quickly from the bed and went into Arsenio's room but couldn't find him there and so I walked down to the living room and saw a middle aged woman trying to touch Arsenio's face even when he asked her not to do it. The first thought that got into my head was that he was trying to be abused by her and although I d
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
ARSENIO’S POV I didn’t want to come to the hospital with this bastard that Adaline calls my brother but I was forced to come after Irene guilt tripped me.“What exactly is your problem Arsenio??? Do you and Elijah want to end the life of your Mother before you both realize what you are doing??” Irene asked.“Adaline is not my Mother.” “Okay, do you want to end the life of a human being???”“I don’t care…” I said as I observed Elijah moving away from Irene and I just to make a phone call.I suspected something was fishy but when I was about to investigate who he was on a call with, a doctor came out of the emergency room.“Are you the family of the lady that was rushed in here??”“No.” I said.“Yes.” Irene said as she glared at me.“We have some not so good news.” he said.“What is the matter???” Irene asked.“Her blood pressure was extremely high when she was brought in here and that caused blood to flood into her brain and so she has been placed in an induced coma.”“What?? Induced
ELIJAH'S POVAs soon as my Mother fell to the ground, it was as though time stopped instantly.The only thing that could come out of my mouth was yelling, Mother.I stood beside her as I shook her gently but she was unresponsive and when I checked her pulse, there was barely any.Without wasting further time, I carried her bridal style as I raced out of the house and gently placed her into the car.At that moment I didn't care if anyone was coming with me, I just needed to save the life of my Mother because that was all that mattered.I got to the nearest hospital and handed my Mother to the nurses as they raced into the emergency ward and also to my greatest surprise, I saw Irene and that bastard behind me.“What is he fucking doing here???!!” I yelled in rage.“Elijah, this is a hospital for goodness sake!! The priority right now is your Mother so let's focus on that!!!” Irene said.“But I don't fucking want him here!!!”“Do you think I fucking want to be here???” Arsenio said as he
WRITER'S POV“Whatever you both know, keep it to your fucking selves because I don't give a fuck about it…. where did Rio take Clara to???” Arsenio asked.Elijah suddenly burst into laughter.“So finding out where your mistress is being kept is more important than knowing the truth about your birth???” Elijah asked.“Do I look like I give a fuck??? Now tell me where Clara is.” Arsenio said as he brought out his gun and pointed it towards Elijah.“Is that all you can do???” Elijah asked as he also brought out his gun and pointed it at Arsenio.Adaline looked at both her sons pointing their guns to each other as her confusion worsened.“What is the meaning of this??? Why is it so difficult for you brothers to live in peace???” Irene asked.“That bastard is no brother of mine…if he doesn't tell me what I need to know, I can assure you that someone's corpse will be leaving this house soon.” Arsenio said.“Elijah, look at me.” Adaline said.Elijah ignored his Mother as he kept on glaring a
WRITER'S POV“You heard me, Arsenio Robert, loudly and clearly.” Irene declared angrily.“Che ti ha dato il diritto di parlarmi in questo modo (Who gave you the right to speak to me this way)???” Arsenio asked.“And who gave you the right Arsenio to speak to us the way that you please??? I understand that you are a boss and have an entire empire running under you but that doesn't give you any right whatsoever to talk down on family.”“What fucking family???!!! the one who abandoned me when i needed her the most or the one who is trying to pair her fucked up son with my woman??!!!” Arsenio yelled.“What???” Irene asked with a shocked look on her face.“Don't fucking act like you don't know what I am talking about Irene!!!”Adaline who has been quietly watching the argument erupt between Arsenio and Irene shook her head in pity as she silently blamed herself for making Arsenio turn out to be a heartless person who had no regards for anyone.“What do you mean by I am trying to set my son
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
