Chapter 123~Alicia~My eyes widened in terror and horror as my feet halted at the sight that welcomed my big eyes the moment I made the mistake of stepping into Dom's office whereas the files on my trembling hands fell to the floor with a thud. The thud sound of the files falling sounded faint as they reached the floor, and my eyes focused on the reason why my heart was running wild and rampant against my ribcage in sheer mortification as I stood there, petrified, watching that woman with her flushed cheeks pressed to the desk.Their eyes snapped in my direction simultaneously the moment I stepped into the office. While Dom's dark hues held a reflection of utter bewilderment and guilt-if the look in his eyes meant anything, with him still buried deep inside that red-haired woman, the latter sent me a nefarious smirk that caused a shudder to run down my spine.What was that? If my senses could function properly at that instant, then that smug smirk on her face meant that she'd always k
Chapter 124~Alicia~"Don't forget to keep my name out of this, please. remember, my brother hates snitches and I don't wanna get on that list, got it?" Saying that, she hung up as quickly as she called and the heavy exhale of breath that left my lungs could barely drop before my heart skipped vigorously against my ribcage as it resumed the thunderous thumping from earlier, not like it had ever died down, it just grew more viscous as those faint footsteps drew closer and stalked closer, closer and closer, turning me frozen in place, unable to run, step away or gaze backward as the thought of what if whoever it was had heard my conversation with Nelly? I felt a silly flutter of my heart the moment my senses struck me with the thought that maybe... just maybe Dom was finally coming to get me. I tried to suppress the small smile that grazed my lips, the flutter of my heart, and the tears that brimmed and blurred my vision even more as I felt my tensed muscles relaxing a little bit but I
Chapter 125~Dom~"Leave." I ordered Anabel as I pulled my shaft out of her cunt. My voice was frigid and husky. Shocked at my words, she twirled around and made to protest but the treacherousness that blazed like both fire and ice in my eyes that glued on that door, that same entrance where Alicia had disappeared from, staring blankly as if she was still standing there, she swallowed hard and scampered off the table. Fortunately for her, I hadn't ripped her dress to shred like I did her lingerie.Straightening her dress, she stormed towards her pitch-black handbag that matched her high heels and snatched it off the desk in Anger. Frustration and disdain were evident in her eyes the moment she threw me a glance but her eyes faltered the moment it collided with my blazing dark ones before billowing out of my office with her hair, utterly disheveled."Fucking hell!" I cursed under my breath. My nose flared as my chest heaved up and down. And for the first time in a while, I found myself
Chapter 126~Dom~The tall heavy trees and greens of bushes blurred passed my peripheral vision as we raced through the not-so-thick woods. It was an abandoned area, most likely secluded and undeveloped, and the silence was deafening that the heavy thuds of our feet echoed loudly in the air as we delved deeper and further into the woods, with my eyes and mind focused solely on that one person. My teeth gritted harshly as I ran like I never had and probably never will after this."Hold up, Boss." Chris's raspy voice echoed. Seeping through my blank mind as the duo drew to an abrupt halt, causing me to halt as well because I knew he had found some clue maybe. With my chest heaving harshly up and down, with my merely harsh pants as if I had only done a little morning jog, I twirled around to face him who was behind me and I found his eyes glued on the monitor on his hands, brows furrowed and and his expression, soured."Speak up," I muttered flatly with a calm that I felt the slightest. n
Chapter 127~Dominic~"I swear to God, Dominic I didn't do it please believe me, I would never snitch on you nor hurt Alicia-" Nelly's hoarse voice choked out between her sobs. Her words coming in rasp and ragged breathing from the intensity and harshness of her wails and whimpers. On her knees in front of me in my torture chamber, hands shackled with pricky, heavy, metallic chains to either side of the room in midair, hair disheveled, giving her the look of a zombie with the small cuts on the corner of her lips from my harsh grip earlier, on her flimsy blue nightgown since my guards had practically gone to her apartment to take her in her sleep by the time we got home. I couldn't get myself out of the clusterfuck of Alicia not being there with me and so I needed someone to torture and she, even though was the least of the suspected predators that could be holding and fucking torturing Alicia right now, she still has some explaining to do. Moreover, your closest Ally could be easily u
Chapter 128~Dominic~The car screeched to a halt at the parking lot of my mansion and without further ado, my guards climbed out of the car. Chris stepped out from the passenger seat and headed to get my door for me but I beat him to it. Brushing passed him while he fell in step behind, we headed straight into the mansion and straight to my office.It was already late at night but Nana was still very much awake aside from the butler who bowed politely the moment we stepped passed them with his eyes drooping and head seemingly weighing more than his body as it lolled and almost landed on the floor."Welcome back young master Dominic." Nana greeted cheerfully as I brushed passed her in the hallway with a simple 'hm' for a response without chancing her a sliver of a glance.My coat swayed freely behind me as I took the most hurried and longest strides of my life until I got into my office with my consigliere in tow.Slipping my long grey coat off my shoulders, I draped it over my chair b
Chapter 129~Dom~"We're here, Boss." Chris's voice resonated through the Air inside the car with a mixture of both thrill and hesitancy. Chris never liked it when I acted rashly and recklessly whenever it came to matters of such especially with relatives but not in this case because he wouldn't understand my current, increasing state of disintegration. I was fucking losing it and he knew, if anyone else was stupid enough to pretend not to, then it'd not be him because he was aware of the menacing darkness that reeked out of my skin and the pent-up anger that leeched beneath my composed features, eating at my very fucking soul.We all stepped out of the car and this time, it was I, Ethan, my consigliere-Chris, and a few squads at the back whom I had already given orders on what posts to take and when to act on my signal. I was in for this and I was going to have a bloodbath tonight and until and unless I found her, I was going to leave a viscous blood trail on my path. One so frighten
Chapter 130~Dom~"Boss!" Chris's voice echoed hoarsely through the eerie silence of that building the moment I made to take the stairs upward, panting, with dots and splashes of blood on his face as he grinned at me, wiping off the blood that trickled down from the center of his head down to his eyes, with the wrist of his sleeve as he fell in step beside me."Took you long enough to take care of those pricks, huh?" I asked. My focus was straight on where I was heading, with one gun in my right hand, the other hanging across from my shoulder down to my abs, with the other hand stuffed with a shark knife as we headed up, his pants dying down as he spoke."They weren't just any type of pricks, Boss. But the stubborn ones. those fuckers keep mutating and multiplying. Hah. Makes it even better and easier to squash into nothingness when they're stupidly much, anyway." mischief and sadism coated his voice as he spoke, chortling"How about combat?" I asked flatly and absentmindedly."Now wha
THBM EP 170~DOMINIC~ *******A MONTH LATER*****It's been exactly a month since I lost my consigliere in that unforgettable encounter, thanks to my late twin who is also wandering around right now in his ghost form or probably burning in hell. A month after I let Alicia into the deepest depths of me, no one, not even I, was aware of their existence until my little fireball came. She's also been the reason why I didn't go insane after I lost my best friend. Chris did say he'd visit me in my dream and he did, he did come to me once, only that he was smiling and not being a worrywart as he'd normally do when he was still here with us, and I still couldn't, up till this moment, help the pain that coursed through me, the hard throe he left behind in my heart, they're still as new as the day I last saw him. The day he left forever, the day my consigliere's eyes shut closed forever. Death in the Mafia was inevitable; he knew what he was in for when he became my right-hand man, but he n
THBM EP 169~DOMINIC~"Fuck. You didn't have to do that to my heart and cock, Alicia. fuck." I growled ferally. Arousal dripping from my husky voice, halting her words as i flipped us over effortlessly in a flash, Her back meeting the soft mattress as i hovered over her. A smile grazed her lips But her plumpy pink lips morphed into an erotic loud moan that traveled its way into my head, fusing with my brain and sending signals to my heart that couldn't stop running wild and rampant against my chest as I peppered her face with kisses, taking the time I didn't have and yet, I needed to savor her flavor, her scent and every reaction she made. I needed to embed myself into her skin; I needed to engrave her into my memory, my skin, my cock, my heart, and my sanity. Alicia fucking Donald, The woman who brought down my walls, barged her way into my heart and not only found a spot there but occupied the entire thing and made it listen to her every binding. And I was going to make sure I did t
THBM EP 168~ALICIA~A startled gasp escaped my lips the moment I unlatched my lashes and that was because of the face that hovered over mine in a dimly golden lit room. My heartbeat that skyrocketed skittered to a halt the moment the haze in my eyes dissipated and I could make out the owner of the face that ate up my entire vision.Dominic. Only that, he looked viscously regal, and considering the deep contour between his brows, he was angry as he glared daggers down at me, the deadlines of his piercing glares were like mysterious hypnotizing drums that filtered into my ears, went straight to my marrows and settled on my heart that resumed it's haunting, vigorous rampant marathon against my tender ribcage.Getting hold of myself and fighting the tremors that engulfed my body in violent shivers and the multiple aches that exploded through my body, I tried to draw to a sitting position but my eyes bulged and welled when his hand shot straight to my throat and wrapped his fingers around
THBM EP 167~ALICIA~"B-Boss. I'm sorry...I'm glad you're okay...you made it, and that makes you a powerful mentor I'd want to have in my next life. I wanted it to be you whom I protected with my life...but I was late and so...I had to save her first...I'm sorry...she wanted to meet you...urgh...fuck..." Chris groaned in pain, choking on the enormous amount of blood that splurted out of his mouth, eyes drooping as he fought to keep them open. My blood boiled like molten lava, erupting and rupturing through my veins as I glared viscous daggers at the thick metal that pierced through his guts, compressing him to the wall while a huge wall squashed his lower half to the ground, my consigliere's blood was streaming like a waterfall in front of me and I couldn't save him, all I could do was tremble in rage and pain, a harsh lump of tears knotted in my throat, vigorously constricting my breath as I watched my friend breathing his last."Why did you come back for me, Chris, why?! fucking how
THBM EP 167~DOMINIC~"The exact hell you seeing, dear brother." Desmond growled through his loud snickers. My heartbeat accelerated abnormally in fear, raw fear, not for my life, but for the fact that I might not be able to see the face that kept flashing across my head.No, I needed to go back to her, and there were no signs that Desmond was joking. I wouldn't die in the hands of this wanker, he lured me into his lair to blast us both off, huh? The beeping sounds from the controller in his hands intensified and his sniggers turned more nefarious and sinister as he clutched it closer to his chest.Taking a step to bolt out of the room, his voice rang again, halting me in place."Dream on, Dominic. There are only forty seconds left, and the whole house has been mounted. I knew you would come, but I still wanted to try my luck to see if I could get out of the country before you arrived, blow the house off, and get the Media to fake my death so I could reemerge a few years later, just l
THBM EP 165~DOMINIC~The tyres of my black van screeched to a halt in front of a gigantic white paint house. The same house where I almost lost Alicia yesterday, the same house where the blonde fucker had her take his ugly shaft, the same house where his blood was going to spill today.Sliding my black shades on, I stepped out of the car through the door that was already left open for me. Darting my gaze between my two most trusted men who were currently in black holsted pants, sleek black turtleneck polos that exposed their rippling biceps, and black boots with knives at the tip, Ethan in black shades who's outfit mirrored mine, while Chris held his hair back with a black band around his head. I had checked into a hotel on my way out of the hospital to take a quick shower in an attempt to get rid of Alicia's blood that clung to my skin and reminded me of her pale face, the flames, and the tentacles that held me hostage and turned me helpless and that was eating at my sanity a bit to
THBM EP 164~ALICIA~"Let's go." Nelly uttered frantically, nodding at her; I tucked my hair behind my ears and swallowed hard to keep my wit in place as I waltzed behind her and headed out of that room.Nelly had reembarked with a pair of black leather heels and a matching peach-colored pencil skirt with a small parting at the back, and blouse.It wasn't the best outfit for such shenanigans, but it was the spare she had in her car, and I had to go with it as we made our way out of the hospital room and blended perfectly with the few patients and nurses on board until we got to the parking lot of the hospital."Get in." She Uttered. Pulling the passenger's door open. Nodding curtly, I slid into the passenger seat and let her slam the door close before heading to the driver's seat. Fastening my seatbelt, she got in and did the same before starting the ignition. My heartbeat racing in both apprehension and anticipation. My head was a jumbled mess and a chaotic frenzy as I rested my head
THBM EP 163~ALICIA~The faint beeping sounds of an electrocardiogram machine seeped into the darkness that swallowed me whole a decade ago, sounding like a fractured, distant melody, ripping through the dark fog in my ears as it prowled its way into my head, intensifying by each beep after another. Unlatching my lids, my eyes squirmed and squinted as they came in contact with a white ceiling, and a harsh ache split my head in two at the blinding glow from the elegant chandelier above me. I tried to move my muscles, but it seemed excruciatingly impossible, and all I could do was dart my eyes around the ceiling; the electrocardiogram machine accelerated rampantly as my heartbeat accelerated abnormally.Where was I? I knew I was in a hospital, and the only indication was the sound of the machine that echoed loudly in the luxurious, unfamiliar-looking room. Parting my lips to speak, a scorching ache registered in my throat and channeled its way down to somewhere on my chest, growing itch
THBM EP 162~DOMINIC~I've lived my life on violence and adrenaline. I've always thrived for control and viewed the world through a red lens because crimson was my favorite purging method. Killing was the only way to satiate my demons and drive them back into that dark abyss whenever they resurfaced, and I loved every bit of it all until now.Until I had to watch that fucking crimson gush out of the one person I never wanted to see it from. Until I lost control over my own self and couldn't move and just fucking cried like a kid until I was thrown back into that burning house with my eyes wide open and legs rooted in place as I watched crimson streaming out of my two parents and still couldn't do anything.I've always thought I was heartless until it came to Alicia. There was an unbearable pain exploding somewhere behind my ribcage, eating and gnawing at the organ that pumps my blood in ruthless tugs.The fact that I couldn't save her kept scratching at my sanity in harsh tugs, leaving
