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
CLARA'S POV“I need you to do a huge favor for me.” she said.“Please ma'am, I am only here as an assistant housekeeper and nothing more and so I don't want to get into any trouble.” I said.“What I am about to ask won't get you into any form of trouble dear, don't be scared.” She said.“What do you want ma'am??” I asked.“First of all, I want to plead on my son's behalf for misbehaving with you like this…I can tell you that Arsenio is a child at heart and part of the reason why he is like this is because of me.”I didn't understand whatever she was saying because I just wanted the conversation to end so I Could be on my way.“I noticed the way he looks at you….you are different and even though you might not see it yet, I can see it in him because I am his Mother.” She said.“Notice what ma'am, I don't understand you.” I asked in confusion.“My son Arsenio has a soft spot for you.”“Me??? That is not humanly possible ma'am.” I said.“It's okay if you don't believe it because of the wa
CLARA'S POV“What was that about???” “N…no.. nothing madam.”“Clara, I know you and I also know when one is hiding something from me…come out clean with it right now.”“It’s sir's Mother…she gave me her number.” I said.“What for??”“I honestly don't know yet madam..she told me she had an assignment for me and that she would communicate with me in regards to the assignment.” I said.I didn't want to tell madam Irene the truth because I knew how close she was to Arsenio and the last thing I wanted was to be in his bad books.“Are you sure??” She asked.“Yes madam.”“Alright, I just have one piece of advice for you and that is to stay away from that woman as much as possible….she doesn't mean well for Arsenio and so you need to stay away.” I was deeply confused and didn't know who to believe at the moment.“Okay madam.”“Good…now, I have already prepared food so go and serve it to Arsenio.”“No, I can't, madam.” I said as I shook my head vigorously.“Why??”“He will hurt me.” I said.
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
