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
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 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
CLARA’S POV“The one and only Arsenio Robert!!!” Grey yelled as he walked closer to us.“Henson you bastard!! Long time no see.” Arsenio said as they both shared a long hug.At that moment, I silently prayed for the earth to swallow me whole because what were the chances that Grey and Arsenio would be old time friends.“How have you been Arsenio?? It’s been what?? Ten to fifteen years??”“I know right…i’ve been good…busy here and there and I just came back to Italy a few months ago.”“Oh that’s amazing man…” Grey said as his eyes suddenly met mine.I averted my eyes immediately from Grey’s as Arsenio looked at me with a weird expression on his face.“And who is this pretty damsel beside you??” Grey asked.“Get your eyes off my woman Grey…I last heard you got married two years ago isn't that right??” Arsenio asked as he chuckled.“He is even married, just perfect.” I said to myself.“Well, you know how things are…it’s nice to meet you, miss???.” Grey asked as he extended his hands for
CLARA’S POV“Is he your brother?? Or rather the one you have been running from??” Grey asked.“You have to leave now Grey!!!” I said.“Leave?? Why should I??? I told you earlier that I am not scared of anyone…if you want me to deal with him, I would do that in a heartbeat.” “You do not understand.” I said as I saw him walking towards us with an angry look on his face.Before he could get to us, I walked closer to him.“Sergio, what are you doing here??” I asked, nervously.“Boss has been searching through every nook and cranny of this island and you are here whoring around???” Sergio asked.“Don’t you dare call her a whore…look, I don’t care who you are to her but don’t speak to her that way just because she wants to have a little bit of fun.” Grey said as he walked closer to Sergio and I.“Stay away from this Grey, it doesn’t concern you.” I said as I glared at him.“It concerns me alright…especially when a pretty damsel like you is being disrespected.”“Stay the fuck out of this!!!
CLARA’S POVAs much as I was extremely excited that Arsenio took me along with him to the Seychelles, I still wondered why he did so.He was one to never allow me out of the house and suddenly taking me on a trip or vacation or whatever this is, definitely looked suspicious.After he wrapped his arms around me and fell asleep, I became quiet for a while as I patiently waited for him to fall deeper asleep and when I finally confirmed that he was, I carefully unwrapped myself away from him and tiptoed away from the room.I was also watching out for Sergio and so when I didn't see him in sight, I was glad as I ran off towards the opposite side of the beach apartment.I ran till I was certain that Arsenio couldn't get through to me anytime soon.“Are you in any form of trouble??” Someone asked as I turned around in fear.I met a man standing there looking all hot and also dripping wet like he just came out from swimming.I hung my mouth open as I couldn't find any words while I gazed inte
ARSENIO'S POV“Arsy??? Wait, So you do fucking remember!!!!”“What??” Clara asked as she avoided eye contact with me.“Don't fucking play dumb wirh me Clara, I know you remember everything.”“Okay fine!!! I do remember some things but not everything though!! Still kinda hazy in my head.”“What exactly do you remember, Clara??” I asked.“Boss, your ride is here…are you ready to leave?” Sergio asked as he interrupted my conversation.“Yes.” I said, slightly annoyed.Clara, Sergio and I walked over to the car and hopped in while our things were being loaded in the truck of the car.“Sir, where are we?? This place is extremely beautiful.” Clara said as she looked around in awe.“We are currently in Seychelles and relax Clara because you haven't seen anything yet.” I said with a smirk.We headed off to the island apartment that was booked and as soon as we got out of the car, Clara ran in excitement towards the beach.“Sergio, take the things to the apartment and also be attentive and high
