CLARA'S POV“Then have me Arsenio.” I said in almost a whisper.I could tell Arsenio was confused about what he felt for me and something told me deep down that he had feelings for me stacked up somewhere. I also felt like if I gave myself to him, he would open up about his feelings and treat me better.“No, not like this!!! You are saying it like you are being forced to.” Arsenio said.I walked slowly towards him and gazed intensely at him.“I am yours Arsenio, you can have me.” I reaffirmed.Arsenio suddenly wrapped his hands around my face and crashed his lips on mine.WARNING (mature content)It was a slow and needy kiss as our lips moved in sync with each other.His breath smelt like fresh mint as he bit my bottom lip softy, I gasped and he took advantage of the opportunity to shove his tongue inside my mouth.As our tongues fought for dominance, I moaned softly as Arsenio wrapped his hand around my waist pulling me closer to him.I wrapped my hands around his shoulder as I ran
ARSENIO'S POVClara fell asleep almost as soon as I told her to get some rest and I Chuckled softly because of how cute she was.My eyes racked through her body and suddenly landed on the sheets and it was a bit stained with little droplets of blood and I bit my lips awkwardly.I stood up and went to the bathroom and ran a warm bath and as soon as I was done, I carried Clara bridal style and took her into the bathroom as she snuggled closer into my arms.She was indeed a deep sleeper especially when she was exhausted.I carefully ran her a bath to prevent from waking up and as soon as I did she moaned softly, making me instantly turned on and I wanted to be inside of her again.After I was done running her a bath, I carried her and carefully placed her on the sofa while I changed the sheets.As soon as I was done, I took her to the bed and covered her up.I also ran myself a bath and decided to order some food before she woke up because I knew she would be starving.I've been with a w
ARSENIO'S POV“Boss, Elijah just informed me that he has found Clara's Mother.” Sergio said.I looked around to make sure Clara wasn't out of the bathroom yet.“What??? How???” I asked Sergio.“I have no idea boss but I got a call from him telling me he found her whereabouts and that his work was done.”“What work is fucking done???!!! That bastard shouldn't test my patience!!!”“But on the contrary boss, isn't his work done?? He has found Clara's Mother's whereabouts and it is now left to us to take it up from there.” “I have a feeling that that bastard is lying….let me give him a call now, I will get back to you.” I said to Sergio as I hung up the call.To prevent Clara from hearing my conversation with Elijah, I walked out of the room and went downstairs.I dialed Elijah's number but he didn't pick up the first time and so I dialed again.“Why are you calling me Arsenio, I thought I already gave Sergio a message to pass across to you??” Elijah said as he picked the call.“Sei fott
ARSENIO'S POV“I am not letting go of you Arsenio so do your worst.” Clara said as I sent her a deadly glare.I didn't understand what Clara's problem was but I was not in the mood for her childish tantrums.I pushed her away as she stumbled slightly and as she was about to revolt, we heard the sounds of gunshots as Clara covered her ears and bent down in fear.“Stay here and don't fucking leave!!!!” I yelled as I walked out of the room.WARNING (violence and graphic scene)I carefully snuck around the hallway and headed downstairs and I could see one of them peeping through the living room as I pointed the gun at him and blew his head as blood splattered all over the floor.I noticed there were more than two men who came to assassinate me but I wasn't scared as I was already used to it.I quietly climbed down from the stairs and headed to the balcony as I sighted another one close to my patio.I shot at him but I missed him by just a few inches as he shot back while I dodged the bull
CLARA'S POVI couldn't believe that I finally gave myself to Arsenio and thinking he would change after that was probably the worst unorganized thought I have ever had.After I stormed out of the room, I sat down at the hospital's reception lost in thoughts about Arsenio and his work because I didn't understand why armed men always came around the house with intentions to kill him.“Is he into some gang shit???” I asked myself.As I continued with my thoughts, I overheard someone talking to a nurse.“Where is Arsenio Robert's room please??” She asked.I looked up and was shocked to see Arsenio's ex wife at the hospital.What I couldn't understand was if Arsenio called her or if she found out on her own about the incident but whatever it was, I needed to know.The nurse showed her to his room as I followed behind unnoticed.“Oh my goodness!!!!Baby??!??” she said as she walked into the room while I stood outside the door eavesdropping.“Monalisa??? What the fuck are you doing here??!!!!
CLARA'S POV“Why are you embarrassed??? Did you do something wrong or something embarrassing???” Arsenio asked in a low tone.“Arsenio!! This is a hospital and you know that anyone can just walk in.” I said.“No, this is not a public ward where anyone could just walk in…She invaded our privacy and ruined our moment.”“You really are very naughty Arsenio.”“Naughty??? Says the one who's pussy is still on my dick.” “Oh goodness!!!” I said.I was about to stand up when Arsenio held me down and smirked.“Arsenio, let go of me!!! Someone else might walk in here.”“But we didn't get to finish what we started, baby girl.”“We can do that some other time, now let go.” I said as I mistakenly pressed Arsenio's arm where he was shot.“Fuck!!!!!!” Arsenio groaned in pain.“I am so Sorry!!! I didn't mean to hurt you…I am sorry.” I said with a worried look on my face.“It’s okay…I want to use the restroom…I'll be back but you can come with me if you want to.” Arsenio said as he winked at me.“Just
CLARA'S POVI read the message over and over again as I couldn't understand it.“I am Clara right???” I asked myself.I have never been so confused the way I was in my entire life.I knew my Mother was dead and so I concluded that maybe Arsenio knew another lady by the name Clara.Arsenio slept for about three hours and I fell asleep while watching him.As I rested my head on the bed and slept, Someone suddenly tapped my arm softly as I woke up abruptly looking around in confusion.“You look cute when sleeping.” Arsenio said In almost a whisper.“Oh, you are awake….thank goodness.” I said yawning.“What exactly happened???”“You don't remember??” “Well I remember going to the restroom and the rest is history.”Arsenio said.“The history part of it is that you went into surgery again to restitch your wound.” I said.“What??? My wound got opened???” “Yeah it did and you lost a lot of blood hence the reason you passed out.” “Alright then ..have you seen my phone anywhere??? I want to s
CLARA'S POV“With all due respect Sir, I am not going anywhere with you.” I said.Arsenio walked slowly towards me as gazed intensely into my eyes without breaking eye contact.“Cosa hai detto (what did you say)??”“I said....I..I...don't…wa…want…to…g..go…anywhere.” I said stuttering.“I wasn't asking you Clara Nivera, I was telling you to get dressed…I'll be back for you in a few hours and you better don't test me baby girl because you won't like what I would do to you.” Arsenio said in a low and dangerous tone.“But I don't..”“Shhhhh…be a good girl and do as I have asked…see you soon Clara.” Arsenio said as he kissed my forehead softly and walked away.As soon as Arsenio walked out of the room, I took a pillow and covered my face with it screaming my lungs out.Suddenly I heard a knock at the door as I threw the pillow back on the bed in a swift motion.“Come in.” I said.The door opened revealing a young beautiful lady.“Hello Miss Clara, I am here to help you out with your makeup
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
