ARSENIO'S POVI paced back and forth in the living room restlessly.“Shit!!!!” I yelled in anger as I punched the wall.“Renio, please calm down…let's go and look for her right now and maybe we can see her.” Irene said.“This is all your fucking fault Richard!!!!! Ever since she came into this house, have you seen her going outside before??!!!!”“I am so sorry boss…it is all my fault…I should have alerted you about it.” Richard said.“But did you do or say something to Clara that would make her want to leave??? I ask because she was quite happy a while ago after we prepared a meal together.” Irene asked.I couldn't tell Irene what I did because deep within me, I didn't want to admit I was practically the reason why Clara ran away.“Sergio, let's go and search for her.” I said purposefully ignoring Irene's question.“And as for you Richard, just pray to whatever you serve that I find her and bring her back here safe.” I said as I walked out of the house.Sergio started the car and drov
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
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
