CLARA'S POVI slowly opened my eyes as I felt a splitting ache inside my head and for some seconds, I couldn't figure out what was going on with or around me.“Oh thank goodness, you are finally awake.” Someone said beside me.I looked on and saw a girl probably my age smiling brightly at me.The splitting ache I felt in my Head came back again worse than the first as I groaned in pain.“Are you okay??” She asked again.“I guess so…who are you???” I asked in confusion.“Oh sorry, where are my manners….I am Aurora.” “Emmm….hello Aurora, I am Clara.” I said, still confused about the whole scenario.“Oh nice to meet you Cara.”“It's Clara and thank you.” I said as I looked around.“For a split second I thought that you were actually dead because you have been unconscious for a long time now.” Aurora said.“Really?? How long???” I asked.“For a few hours….you were even bleeding from your head and had to get treated.” She said.I looked around in confusion again as the whore place smelt w
CLARA'S POV“Get yourself prepared puttane (whores), you are getting auctioned for sale to the highest bidders.” he said.“What???” I asked in confusion.“You should consider yourself lucky…the other girls were sold as sex slaves.” He said as he laughed.Aurora and I stared at each other with worried looks on our faces.“You both should be excited that you are about to be auctioned off….if you are lucky, you can be sold off to a nice master and if you aren't, well just pray to be lucky.” He said with a smirk.I suspected that something like this was going to happen and now that it was happening, my fear increased.“We are going to get you both dolled up soon so you can look attractive to our bidders.” He said as he taped his fingers and two ladies both walked in.“Get them dolled up real good and I will be back for them in a few hours.” He said to the ladies as he walked out.“Aurora, it's really happening.” I said as tears rolled down my face.“Don't cry Clara….we can be lucky and so
ARSENIO'S POV“We found her boss, but the bad news is that she is about to be auctioned for sale in a few hours.” Piero said.“What did you just say???!!!!” I asked in shock.“A close source of mine told me there is about to be an auction for some ladies in a few hours and he suspects your woman is one of them.” “Fuck!!!!!!” I yelled out in anger.“I am deeply sorry about this boss.”“Where is the auction taking place???” I asked.“That is the information I couldn't get from him….before he could tell me, the line was disconnected and I couldn't reach out to him anymore.” Piero said, further aggravating my angry.“Piero, I want you to get me that information as soon as possible!!!!”“Yes boss right away.” He said as I hung up the call.I dialed Sergio's number as soon as I ended the call with Piero.“Boss???” He said as he picked up.“Where are you???” I asked.“Outside the house boss.”“Come to my room now!!” I yelled as I hung up the call.I paced back and forth thinking of what to
CLARA'S POVMy life was officially over as I was sold to a total stranger.I had no idea if I was going to be his slave or if I was going to be trafficked or even married off to someone.I was dragged by the arm and taken straight to a car that was packed outside which I assumed was the buyer's car.As I sat inside waiting for my buyer, my thoughts pondered on how my life suddenly took a three hundred and sixty degree turn for the worse.I thought about how I was staying with my step parents who maltreated me and then stayed with a man who played with death like they were siblings and now I was reduced to an object being sold to the highest bidder.As I waited patiently in the car, a few minutes later, my buyer got into the car but he was still masked and didn't show his face.“Go.” He said to the driver and the car zoomed off.I felt so uncomfortable sitting in the car as I tried to cover my cleavages with my hand.The silence in the car was deafening and I wished the ground would ju
ARSENIO'S POV“Who the fuck did you sell her to???!!!!!” I yelled in anger.“I can't tell you that detail…..it's confidential.” Before I could retaliate, Sergio suddenly brought out his gun and pointed it at his head.“If you know who is standing before you right now, you will take us to the person who brought the lady as soon as possible.” Sergio threatened.“I…c..can..take…y..you…to him…He is not gone yet.” he said as he stuttered in fear.“Move.” I said in anger as he walked away while we followed behind him.He took us to a room where two men sat down and I knew immediately they were trying to finalize the payment.“What is going on here??? Who are these men??” one of them asked as he glared at Sergio and I.“I am not here to banter words with you but I have brought a deal.” I said.“What deal are you talking about??”“The second lady whom was brought tonight, I want her.” I said.Both men suddenly burst into laughter as I looked on.“You must be out of your fucking mind!!! Who t
ARSENIO'S POVWARNING!! (mature content ahead)As Clara's lips crashed to mine, I didn't know how to react for some seconds as I just stood there like a statue.The kiss was unexpected and when she noticed I didn't kiss her back, she suddenly wrapped her hands around my neck and bit my lips.I looked at her in confusion as I wondered where she got her boldness from.meanwhile, the bulge in my pants suddenly grew larger as my desire and want for her increased.I unwrapped her hands from my neck and pushed her off me slightly.“Did I do something wrong??” She asked in confusion.“You are asking me if you did something wrong!!!!! Are you delusional Clara??!!!” I yelled in anger after I suddenly recalled the events that transpired before I got her back.“Look, Arsenio…” she said as she walked closer to me.“Don't you fucking dare call me Arsenio!!! You have no rights!!!”“I am sorry.” She said.“Sorry for what exactly Clara??”“For running away and I am sorry for whatever you must have go
CLARA'S POV“This is just the beginning Clara Nivera…by the time I am done with you, you will crawl to me and beg me to fuck you senseless.” Arsenio said as he walked out of the door.I hung my mouth wide open in shock as I was totally dumbfounded.I felt so hot all over my body and the craziest part of everything was that I wanted Arsenio's touch.He was playing with my feelings and I knew I deserved everything I was getting.I looked at my half naked self as I curled up in the bed while tears slipped through my face.What I couldn't figure out was if the tears were that of happiness that I was found and rescued by Arsenio or the fact that I had no idea what he was going to do to me to get his revenge for my reckless actions.I suddenly started feeling so cold and I had no clothes to wear as Arsenio ripped the ones I wore previously.I walked to the door and twisted the doorknob to open it but it was locked.“Is someone there???!!!” I called as I banged on the door.There was no resp
CLARA'S POV“Cecelia???!!!” I called.I couldn't believe that Arsenio could stoop so low as to having sex with his housekeeper and what hurt me the most was that he smirked while staring at me.I turned around and ran back into the room as I locked the door from within.I slid down the back of the door as I cried bitterly.“Why do this to me Arsenio after you asked me to be your mistress???!!!” I screamed.He left me hanging only to be with another woman and it had to be his housekeeper.After crying for a few minutes, I wiped the tears off my face and decided to continue my normal day to day activities.I wouldn't let Arsenio get to me anymore and I also decided that he could do whatever he wanted to do.After unlocking the door, I went into the bathroom to freshen up and when I was done, I decided to take a stroll around the house.As soon as I walked out of the door, I met Cecelia walking towards me.“Ma'am, about what you saw.”“It's fine Cecelia…. whatever you do with your young
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
ARSENIO’S POV I didn’t want to come to the hospital with this bastard that Adaline calls my brother but I was forced to come after Irene guilt tripped me.“What exactly is your problem Arsenio??? Do you and Elijah want to end the life of your Mother before you both realize what you are doing??” Irene asked.“Adaline is not my Mother.” “Okay, do you want to end the life of a human being???”“I don’t care…” I said as I observed Elijah moving away from Irene and I just to make a phone call.I suspected something was fishy but when I was about to investigate who he was on a call with, a doctor came out of the emergency room.“Are you the family of the lady that was rushed in here??”“No.” I said.“Yes.” Irene said as she glared at me.“We have some not so good news.” he said.“What is the matter???” Irene asked.“Her blood pressure was extremely high when she was brought in here and that caused blood to flood into her brain and so she has been placed in an induced coma.”“What?? Induced
ELIJAH'S POVAs soon as my Mother fell to the ground, it was as though time stopped instantly.The only thing that could come out of my mouth was yelling, Mother.I stood beside her as I shook her gently but she was unresponsive and when I checked her pulse, there was barely any.Without wasting further time, I carried her bridal style as I raced out of the house and gently placed her into the car.At that moment I didn't care if anyone was coming with me, I just needed to save the life of my Mother because that was all that mattered.I got to the nearest hospital and handed my Mother to the nurses as they raced into the emergency ward and also to my greatest surprise, I saw Irene and that bastard behind me.“What is he fucking doing here???!!” I yelled in rage.“Elijah, this is a hospital for goodness sake!! The priority right now is your Mother so let's focus on that!!!” Irene said.“But I don't fucking want him here!!!”“Do you think I fucking want to be here???” Arsenio said as he
WRITER'S POV“Whatever you both know, keep it to your fucking selves because I don't give a fuck about it…. where did Rio take Clara to???” Arsenio asked.Elijah suddenly burst into laughter.“So finding out where your mistress is being kept is more important than knowing the truth about your birth???” Elijah asked.“Do I look like I give a fuck??? Now tell me where Clara is.” Arsenio said as he brought out his gun and pointed it towards Elijah.“Is that all you can do???” Elijah asked as he also brought out his gun and pointed it at Arsenio.Adaline looked at both her sons pointing their guns to each other as her confusion worsened.“What is the meaning of this??? Why is it so difficult for you brothers to live in peace???” Irene asked.“That bastard is no brother of mine…if he doesn't tell me what I need to know, I can assure you that someone's corpse will be leaving this house soon.” Arsenio said.“Elijah, look at me.” Adaline said.Elijah ignored his Mother as he kept on glaring a
WRITER'S POV“You heard me, Arsenio Robert, loudly and clearly.” Irene declared angrily.“Che ti ha dato il diritto di parlarmi in questo modo (Who gave you the right to speak to me this way)???” Arsenio asked.“And who gave you the right Arsenio to speak to us the way that you please??? I understand that you are a boss and have an entire empire running under you but that doesn't give you any right whatsoever to talk down on family.”“What fucking family???!!! the one who abandoned me when i needed her the most or the one who is trying to pair her fucked up son with my woman??!!!” Arsenio yelled.“What???” Irene asked with a shocked look on her face.“Don't fucking act like you don't know what I am talking about Irene!!!”Adaline who has been quietly watching the argument erupt between Arsenio and Irene shook her head in pity as she silently blamed herself for making Arsenio turn out to be a heartless person who had no regards for anyone.“What do you mean by I am trying to set my son
WRITER'S POVAs soon as Arsenio and Sergio got back to Italy, without wasting any time further, Sergio headed straight to Elijah's house to pick up Adaline.Before Sergio's arrival at Elijah's residence, he made sure to confirm that Elijah was nowhere to be seen around the house and after his confirmation, he took a few men on his way with him and arrived there an hour later.Just as Sergio had suspected, Elijah had men stationed around the house for security but they were all taken down smartly and quietly by Sergio's men.As soon as the coast was completely clear, Sergio walked into the house and found Adaline sitting on the couch in the living room while reading a book.“Hello to you Adaline.” Sergio said.Adaline looked at Sergio in so much shock and confusion as she wondered how he got access into the house.“Sergio??? How did you gain access to this place and why are you even here??? If Elijah finds out about this???”“First of all, gaining access into this place was a piece of
ARSENIO'S POV“Don Rio?? You have got to be fucking kidding me!!!!” I yelled out in anger as I ran my hands through my hair repeatedly.“I was shocked too when I found out that your brother is taking sides with the enemy to bring you down.”“My brother is also the fucking enemy!!!”“What are we going to do now, Arsenio??? If you know Don Rio so well, you should also know that your woman isn't in Seychelles anymore by now.” Grey said.As much as I didn't want to agree with Grey, he was right because Don Rio knew his way around every country.He learnt very well from my Father and at some point, I suspected he was an illegitimate son of my Father because of how much my Father loved and cherished him.It's no surprise that Elijah is working with him because birds of a fucking feather.As I paced back and forth in confusion thinking of the next step and action to take, my phone suddenly started ringing.“Sergio??” I called as I picked up the phone.“Boss, we have not so good news.” He sai
