Chapter 37Do's POV"Ring Ring....vrrrrr..." The sound of my phone ringing jolted me awake from my serene slumber."Who the fuck is calling me at this Damn hour" I growled raspily with my eyes still shut close and my brows creased as I scrambled on the side table for my phone. Getting it, I checked the time before taking the call and it was already 6 AM."Oh shoot!" I growled huskily as my phone slid down my hands before I could see the name of the caller, so I scrambled on the floor to get it"Shit! It's her birthday today." I said and instantly got off the bed to get ready. I made my way to the bathroom and took my warm shower and my morning routine before stepping back into the room with my towel wrapped firmly around my waist, and my eyes fell on the sleeping figure on the bed. my feet took me to the bed instinctively and I found myself staring down at her as I dried my hair with a towel, she looked so peaceful and beautiful, she was still sound asleep."I'm sorry for draining yo
Chapter 38Dom's POV the car halted with a screeching sound in front of the 'Torreto castle' which was situated in a VIP area in the city of California. the name TORETO CASTLE was imprinted in gold slate at the top of the entrance gate of the large estate. and we made our way into the large castle where I was greeted by the royal maids and butler who led me through to the dining hall. wasn't it supposed to be her birthday? why's it not crowded?"where's everyone, Uncle Richard?" I asked the old man who had been my Father's butler for as far as I could remember. his been here since I was a little kid and that was how I formed the habit of calling him, uncle."they're at the dining Hall, Prince Dominic," he replied with a slight bow, beaming heartily at me. at the dining? wasn't it supposed to be Nelly's birthday?"why's everyone not here yet? when's the party going to start?" I chided causing beads of heavy sweat to pop out on his forehead. while he leads the way beside me. "uh...p-pa
Chapter 39Dom's POV "Will you just ignore your Father as if he doesn't exist at all, you brat!?" his voice thundered, jolting me out of my reverie. my head snapped in his direction, and a wicked smirk ghosted my lips before turning my full length and making my way to the dining table.he was looking as stunning as always. this old man didn't look old at all, aside from the little strands of grey that tinted his hair, he still had his strength and built from years and years of combat which he had trained me and my twin brother."good morning Mr Torreto." I greeted casually as I reached out for a chair beside my cousin, pulled it out, and sat elegantly on it.my dad's hard glares didn't escape my notice and I know what exactly the cause was, so I was expecting another thunderous scold."Alas...tsk tsk. I can't remember the last time you called me Father. you're just too stubborn Dominic. how did I raise you to become different from your twin brother? call me Father you brat!" he growle
Dom's POV "it's no lie, brother." I heard her tiny voice and rage consumed the little ounce of serenity and self-control that was left in me. I gripped hard on the glass in my hand, smashing it to pieces in one swift snap before returning my gaze to her. "the hell, Nelly!?" I yelled in a controlled voice between my gritted teeth, my fists clenching and unclenching...a startled gasp escaped her mouth as her hazel orbs became glassy and terrified. I hated seeing her like this but why the hell did she go to this length to bring me here?she extended her hands to reach for my face but I dodged her touch by cocking my head to the side. she looked stunned and hurt. biting hard on her lower lips before her brows furrowed in anger."Well, ain't my fault that you don't even know my fuckin birth date!" she snarled at me, stepping down from the stool. "it's still your father's house no matter-""shut it, Nelly!" I growled as my aura darkened even more. she flinched at the sound of my voice thun
Dom's POV at the Great Hall*****************"Where did you wander off to?" came my father's voice from the principal seat beside the high table where he was playing his chess alone. In the middle of the hall, the heart Horn's light cascaded down the large hall as I walked in and headed straight to take a seat at the front of the table, sliding my phone back into my pants pocket, I brought out my stick of Cuban and settled it between my lips."was catching up with my cousin," I said before lighting up my Cuban, taking a puff, and releasing the smoke into the Air, before returning my gaze to my Father, who also halted in his tracks on his chess games with a serious expression on my face."I know that you know why you're here, son," he said calmly as he slid his specks down his nose, peeking intently at me. voice laced with malice that only I could detect. or maybe it was because of the things I knew that no one else did?either way though."Not until now, Father," I responded casuall
Chapter 42Alicia's POV at Domini's mansion **********************"I'm ready now, Nana," I announced raptly. beaming as I went straight to grab Nana by her arm. she looked stunned, of course, she'd never seen me dressed this much ever since I arrived here so it was only fair for her reaction to be like this but, why did she look amused and sad at the same time?was something wrong with my dress? no! That can't be right."is something wrong, Nana?" I cooed softly nudging at her hand. but I still didn't get any response, she looked like she had fallen into a daze as her gaze only fixated on my dress.I ran my fingers through my dress as I gazed down at them, I was cladded in a wine-colored body-hug fit gown that settled just beneath my kneecaps, it was revealing from the top, like my chest and shoulders, but Nana had already given me a black coat that also settled just few lengths underneath my knees that matched with my pair of black high heels.I was born and brought up in wealth a
Chapter 43Alicia's POV It was a silent drive as Nana drifted off to sleep while answering all my questions about the things that Dom had instructed her to relay to me.The thought that Dom and I would be going out made me excited and scared at the same time. I couldn't understand why I felt so uneasy about the whole thing, but I'd always manage to clad my fear and worry with my excitement.I don't know what was wrong with me tho, but I knew I was happy whenever I was around that one person. I don't even know what I'd call the sensation I got whenever he was around me or even away, it's been hours and I haven't seen him, I don't even have a cellphone so I couldn't call, and even if I could, I'm not so sure if I was allowed to call him on the phone?I was still but a slave anyway.Sighing heavily, I rested my cheeks on my knuckles. As I stared at the tall tours and people who were walking freely and cheerfully, and I don't know why it made my eyes well. I used to be that free and car
Chapter 44Alicia's POV "Wow, that suits you perfectly, Alicia. You have a pretty perfect body. it's amusing how every dress you try on has been everything aside from looking bad on you my child." Nana rained her warm praises on me with a wide warm grin playing on her face. I would have thought she was exaggerating but I was stunned too, looking at my reflection in the mirror. Was I always this beautiful? or were those outfits specifically made for me? "thank you so much, Nana." I squealed in delight, beaming heartily back at her. I felt my cheeks heating up, and I saw them tainted in a light pink blush through the mirror in front of me."I'm glad they all suit you ma'am, we were worried that we'd made some mistakes in customizing and picking out the perfect fits for you with the measurements Mr. Dominic had sent to our CEO...I hope they are to your liking ma'am?" she explained with a wide smile of pride and satisfaction placating her face. Leaving me stunned and taken aback for a
