ARSENIO'S POV“Are you sick??!!! What the fuck is your problem Monalisa??!!!” I yelled in anger.“Look Arsenio, can't you see how much I have missed you and how badly I want you to be mine again…. just let me be yours and I promise you won't regret it.”“Let me tell you something you don't know, Lisa…you see those years we were married for, I regret it every day of my life and so when you talk about regrets, you are my biggest yet.”The few years I was married to Monalisa, she and her Father made my life a living hell just because I was naive and had no one to go to.She abused me mentally and even physically and took everything I had left in me including my virginity.She made me into the beast I am today and I would never forgive her or her Father for what they did to me.“It's been years, Arsenio and I apologized for whatever I did.”“When did you fucking apologize Monalisa???”“Arsenio I am here pleading for you to forgive me and accept me back…doesn't this count???”“Ascoltami (l
CLARA'S POVAs soon as Arsenio walked out of the door and left, I went straight to ma'am Irene to inform her of what was happening.“You look worried Clara, what's going on??? Did Arsenio let you treat his wound??” She asked.“Treating his wound is not the problem ma'am.” I said.“Then what?? What exactly happened??”“He allowed me to treat his wound but he left the house again and that too in anger.”“Anger??? I don't understand you Clara.”“I think Sir Elijah did something to offend him again.” I said.Ma'am Irene took a deep breath and then went on with what she was doing.“Why are you quiet ma'am??”“Honestly when it comes to Elijah and Arsenio, I can't do anything about them….they have been at it for years now and all I can do is hope that one day, they will sort out their differences.”“Ma'am, in my opinion I think it's the responsibility of ma'am Adaline to sort out the differences between her two children…she birthed them afterall.”“These children we are talking about aren't
CLARA'S POVI saw Arsenio having intense sex with his supposed ex wife Monalisa as I hung my mouth wide open in shock.Her moans were so loud that I was sure the next country from ours could hear it.I stood there watching in shock as my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing.Arsenio couldn't have sex with any other person in the whole of Italy except his ex wife and the same woman who brought him pain.Tears rolled down my eyes as I felt both hurt and irritated and I backed away from the door and shut it close.I wiped the tears off my face and slowly walked away and went into the kitchen to help ma'am Irene prepare dinner.“Clara, you are here???” Ma'am Irene asked as she walked into the kitchen.“Yes ma'am, I wanted to start dinner.”“Really??? You look pale..is anything the matter???” “Not at all ma'am…I am just tired and a bit bored hence the reason why I might have this pale look on my face.” I said.There was no way I was going to tell ma'am Irene that I went to Arsenio's ro
ARSENIO'S POVAnnoyed and irritated were exactly what I felt when having sex with Monalisa.It was different from the way it was years ago and when she was still my wife.Her moans didn't turn me on but instead turned me completely off and I just wanted it to be over.After I finished my business with her, she laid on the bed breathing deeply with a wide grin on her face.“That was breathtaking, Arsenio.”“If you are done talking, you can put your clothes back on and leave and you have three days to bring Elijah to me and I don't need to tell you what would happen if you fail to do so.”“I’ve heard you Arsenio but before I leave, can I get a bottle of water to drink??? I need to get back a little of my strength.” Monalisa said.“Whatever, get your water and leave.”“Arsenio, I really missed you and I missed this.” She said as she walked closer to me.“Three days, Monalisa.” I said as I walked into the bathroom.I Switched on the shower and as the water ran through my body, I thought a
ARSENIO'S POV“What did you just say??”“She went out on a date, Arsenio.” I suddenly burst into laughter.“What's funny??” Irene asked.“Look Irene I know that sometimes you get into the mood of cracking jokes with me but this one is definitely not funny….Clara????!!!!!!” I yelled.“The only one laughing was you Arsenio, I didn't laugh and so, that should tell you that I wasn't joking….Clara went on a date.”“With whose fucking permission???!!!!!”“Mine….and the last time I checked, she's free and of age to make her decisions, love life inclusive so what's the problem???”“She's doesn't have any rights whatever to make any fucking decisions as long as she's here under my roof Irene!!!! Where is Clara???!!”“She's not a slave in this house Arsenio!!!! She went out on a date with my son and if you want to see her, wait for a while and she's be back home.”“Your son???” I asked as I chuckled.“Yes, my son…Is there a problem with that???” Irene asked.I walked closer to where she was st
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
CLARA’S POV“Is she dead??? Why is her eyes opening and shutting like that??? I told you to leave this girl alone, do you want me to get arrested?!!!” I heard some voices saying as I tried opening my eyes.I tried to open my eyes but with great difficulty.Suddenly water was poured on me as I got back to my senses.I slowly opened my eyes as I saw my step family surrounding me.“Welcome back to the world of the living.” Jerry said.“Be quiet!!!” my step Father yelled.I stood up from the ground as I looked at my body covered in fresh bruises.“Go inside and clean yourself up.” My step Father said as he walked away.I walked back into the storeroom where I was asked to stay and took off my clothes.As I looked at the new bruises forming in my body and down to my stomach, tears dripped down my face as I cursed my fate.I was malnourished and underfed and because of that, I didn’t look my age.My Mother died when I was at the ripe age of seven and although I didn’t understand the full de
WRITER’S POVClara looked on in confusion as she didn’t understand what was going on.“I asked you a question, who gave you the permission to eat my food??” Seraphina asked as she looked at Clara with anger.“I am sorry Madam, I just thought that since everyone is eating, I should also eat something.” Clara said.“Eat something?? Are you the one who bought the food items?? Did you give me the money to buy them??”“No I didn’t.”“So what gave you the right to think you should have a share??”“Nothing, I am sorry.”“You better be…you are not to eat anything in this house till tomorrow..am I understood??“Yes Madam.” Clara said.“Good, now get lost.” Clara stood up from the floor and went into her room as she broke down in tears.Her stomach grumbled loudly indicating that it needed to be fed.Deep down, Clara knew she wouldn’t survive starvation till the following day being the fact that she didn’t eat previously and she was getting weak due to the beating she received from her step mo
