CLARA'S POVI continued my usual activity in the house except going to Arsenio's room to inform him food was ready or serve him his food.When Madam Irene asked me the reason why I didn't want to do that, I simply told her that he asked me to stay away from him which was actually the truth in some way.After madam Irene and I finished cooking, I took my new phone and decided to check it out because since Sergio gave it to me, I haven't had the time to.I unwrapped the pack and was surprised to see it was an iphone.My step siblings had the same but mine was a little bit different because it has three cameras at the back while theirs had two.After switching it on, I flipped it over and checked it round as I smiled because it looked so clean and new but the problem was that I didn't know how to operate it.I walked back to the kitchen.“Madam Irene, do you know how an iphone works??” I asked.She suddenly burst into laughter.“I really don't, my dear….I use an Android because it's much
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“Oh goodness!!!!” I exclaimed in shock.“What's the matter dear??” Ma'am Irene asked as she chuckled softly.“I knew that you were messing with me ma'am.” I said as I began to chuckle too.Ma'am Irene slapping Arsenio had to be the most unrealistic thing I've ever heard and so I assumed she was trying to mess with me by saying that.“Messing with you??? I am not dear.. whatever you heard me just say is the truth.”The smile on my face instantly dropped.“Wait, you are serious ma'am??? You slapped Arsenio??!!”“Yes.”“I don't understand…what exactly happened?? What did he say to you???”Ma'am Irene was never one to act irrationally and that is one quality I knew and loved about her from the moment I knew her and so slapping Arsenio had to come from a place of deep trigger.“Do not concern yourself with that Clara.” She said.“No ma'am….I have to concern myself with it because I know deep down that he said something that hurt you and hence the reason you reacted that way but
CLARA’S POVAt first I was engrossed by the gentleness of his kiss and I had no idea when I kissed him back but then it suddenly occurred to me that I was kissing someone who I felt nothing at all for and that consciousness made me suddenly detach my lips from his.“What’s the matter??” he asked as he had a confused look on his face.“Look, you are a really nice person and twice that I’ve gone out with you, you have made me so happy and have been the most amazing person to me but I don’t want to lead you on because I have feelings for another.” I said.“For Arsenio right??” I bowed my head as I couldn’t say anything.“Does Arsenio treat you right???” he asked.“It doesn’t matter if he does….I know he would change if not now, then later and I am going to help him change.” I said.“Arsenio can never change Clara….why don’t you give me a chance to love you and show you how much I adore you?? I would never hurt you Clara.”“I know Alonzo, trust me but my feelings for Arsenio aren’t weak
CLARA’S POV“Clara, did you see exactly what I was talking to you about??” Ma’am Irene asked as Arsenio left the kitchen with Monalisa.“I don’t know who gave her the audacity to speak to you in such a manner Ma’am.” I said.“It’s always been like that dear…I don’t even mind that anymore…what I am more concerned about is your feelings for Arsenio and how he treats you or will be treating you if you decide to waste your time on him.”“Honestly ma’am, when he asked me to stay away from his room earlier on, I didn’t and what I saw really broke my heart…of all the women in the world and in Italy for Arsenio to have sex with, he chose his ex wife and one he hated the most.”“I am not happy about that too dear and I am definitely not trying to justify his behavior but I am convinced there is a reason behind him doing that.”“I don't even care about that ma’am…I really want to leave this house even if it’s for a while and clear my head but I know Arsenio will never allow it.”“Do you have an
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
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
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
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
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
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
