Chapter 143~DOMINIC~"He tried to convince his wife with his sincere words. That little boy and his mother knew that he was being honest with those words because he'd always put his family first, showed them off, loved and cared for them, and would put his own life on the line for them. But the silly thing called love failed him because that four-year-old boy watched his mother push his father away from her, yanked her hand free from his desperate pleading grip, and walked back to that bulky man who seemed pleased with that sly smirk on his face."'What have you done to my wife, you goons!' "He wailed bitterly, scrunching the Little boy's heart but he pissed his pants again when that bulky Man stepped forward and pointed what that little boy could identify as a gun, and his little heart prayed that it was a toy gun because he didn't want his father to die and it killed him even more, he loathed himself for his weakness and helplessness for not being able to jump out and save his fami
Chapter 144~DOMINIC~"Who was the boy and who killed my father?" She Struck with a feisty edge as if she could read it on my face, the darkness in my voice, and the thickness of the atmosphere. "Tell me, Dominic...hic...tell me that that story wasn't your biography, that that little boy wasn't you, and that you didn't kill my father. Because I don't know how I'd believe or who to believe anymore...please help me...my heart...it hurt...right...right here..." She choked out between her sobs, placing a hand beneath her left breast as she locked her streaming eyes on mine."Alicia-""Please...tell me, just tell me that you didn't abduct me to rape me to death, the same way my father did to your mother, are you one of them? Oh God. I don't know what to say anymore. Just tell me. Please...help me understand. because I can feel the pain of that four-year-old boy and I'm hoping that story wasn't cooked up because everything fucking hurts..."She wailed bitterly. Trembling vigorously like a le
Chapter 145~ALICIA~A week.It's been over a week since the nerve-racking discovery in Dominic's room, and a week since I passed out on the verge of almost spilling and divulging Nelly's name due to the bargain, his heartbreaking story that had me bawling my eyes out as he's words practically threw me into a frenzy. Who was I to believe? It wasn't as if I could go wake my father's corpse from his grave to tell me his side of the story, no.And all the words that Dominic trusted me with or told me out of anger, I wouldn't say I managed to get under his skin, no, he merely tried to clear the air, and also, he didn't sugarcoat his words when he bluntly told me how much he'd dreaded my Father, which he had every reason to, and how much he wished he was the one who killed him, and I was sure it would've been more brutal.After brooding over his words and the whole overwhelming dark secrets he let me in on, I realized that, while those were secrets he had kept from the whole world for so l
Chapter 146~DOMINIC~"It's all done, Boss." My consigliere announced raptly. His eyes beaming brightly with pride as a heavy, long breath of relief whooshed out of his nostrils. He was standing in dark gray sweatpants and a light black sleek turtleneck that mapped his hard, rippled features tightly across my desk with both his palms on my desk while his eyes gleamed with the bright reflection of the gray-colored PC in front of him."Mm. But cross-check your work severely to make sure there are no mistakes or holes that that fucker can get hold of, Chris. I don't want no more surprises, got it?" I let out assertively. My dark, unfazed eyes that were securely hidden behind my crystal clear gold-rimmed specks were glued on the tablet on my right hand as I rested my butt on my desk, calculative twirly the vodka that I occasionally took tidbit of sips from, dangling on my other hand with my back against the office and Chris, while the city lights that protruded from the vast city, reflecte
Chapter 147 ~ALICIA~Hauling her out of her bedroom, I took the elevator back down the first floor and took the secret route from the basement, with her hoisted up on my shoulder, my left hand snaked around her thighs as I made my way down the black, metal few staircases of the secret passageway that led to the underground garage. Closing the camouflaged white tiled door of the escape route, I jumped down the case and a startled yelp left her mouth as my shoulder bashed vigorously against her abdomen, forcing me to put her down but it was downright risky as it stood and so, I quickened my pace and strode towards one of my cars. Wrenching the automatic door with my face biometric opened, I shoved her inside and strapped her seatbelt tightly across her as her befuddled, puzzled gaze locked on mine."You...""Shhh. Stay right here, Alicia. I'm going back there to clear the entrance, I'll be back in a brief. And if it gets too rowdy, I'll send one of my guards; he'll give you his name-Bor
Chapter 148~ALICIA~The rampant pace of my heartbeat from the moment Dominic barged into my room and caught me red-handed still lingered, and it was climbing frightening heights that I never thought were reachable until now. It was running so painfully hard that I was surprised when I couldn't see it ripping through my ribcage to find its way outside.The more things like the fluke that deterred Dominic's attention from the phone on my hand when he came, lunging straight at me in those bone-chilling strides earlier in my room when I thought it was all over for me and I'd been caught, The more I started to believe that whatever deity that could hear and see me out there was definitely on my side, and the thought of it only gave me more frightening courage to dare more, reach beneath myself, rip through my softness, tenderness, and find the toughness of an elegant, strong, smart, elusive woman who was shackled at a dark distance, wailing, clawing, screaming and begging to be released. S
Chapter 149~ALICIA~The Large, tall, white paint house was nothing short of luxurious and elegant. Royalty too. The only thing that was missing was the cozy warmth, air, and closure of home, and that home was with Dominic. Shooing that thought to the darkest part of my head, a part where I didn't visit a lot, a part where I kept the things I wanted so much to forget, a part where I hoped and prayed would smolder and consume the face and memories of Dominic, I let my nostrils flare as the delicious aroma from the vast, copious, different cuisines in front of me on a long marble table, wafted through the walls of my nose. The pendant black and gold three-set chandelier that almost dropped from the ceiling to the floor above our heads cast a warm glow on the foods and wines on the table, but none of that was enough to ease the uneasiness and bitterness that I felt, the self-loathing that gnawed at my soul, the trembling of my limbs and fingers as they wrapped around a pair of golden cu
Chapter 150~ALICIA~"A good thing you're not one naive little kitten. Then, I won't have to hold back or Beat around the bush in an attempt to not scare you?" He Uttered with a dark edge as he raised a toss at me who stared blankly back at him with a titter, while my heart accelerated at the sinister darkness that took over his gray orbs, turning them frosty and soulless as he steadied them on me, all playfulness dissipating off his features. The ominous venom, rapidly becoming too suffocating as the silence lingered on, so I parted my lips and broke the eerie silence."And...does those price also include..." I whooshed out a shaky breath out of my lungs and nose as I averted my gaze from his and buried it in the food in front of me."Are you...going to fuck me...too-" I muttered in a shaky voice that was barely above a whisper. The words leaving a bitter taste on my tongue and throat as they rolled out."Eventually." He butted in, halting my words. His rigid voice forbade any attempt
Chapter 153~ALICIA~It was exactly 20 hours after Desmond made every threat and cooing in the world to diverge my mind and will from this day. À the day I had been waiting for. A day I had been looking forward to like no other, a day I was going to either take one more life to avenge my confiscated Freedom and the mysterious, gruesome death of my parents, or be killed and sent to meet them like a headless chicken in hell.It was exactly 5 P.M., dusk was already staking its claim, and I couldn't help the thrill that coursed through me, trying to gauge my heart out of its cage. Not in fear or apprehension, it was in sheer excitement like the Grim Reaper. I couldn't help the wide beam and adrenaline rush that woke me up this morning like a shadow, like a cloak, and like a second skin. It wasn't because I was so confident in winning and succeeding in my quest, no...It was because I felt a kind of boundless freedom like I had never felt before. A freedom that robbed me of the thoughts of
Chapter 152~ALICIA~"Fuck...So fucking tight...so fucking perfect...such a lewd, soaking wet cunt...urgh...what the fuck did I tell you about talking about your death, hmm?!" He groaned ferally as I felt the twitching of his cock and the warmth from his pants and I knew he'd cum too from the toughness of his pants and ragged breathing.His head lulled down and nuzzled into the nook of my neck as his twitching intensified and his growls and groans of pleasure died down, his hold loosening around my neck as he leaned up, released my leg that was hung on his arm, midair, his grope on my neck shifted to the back of my nape and he pulled my head backward, raising my chin and colliding his gray, softened orbs on my moistened green ones, his eyes searching mine for a tidbit before they strayed to my trembling, reddened lips."They're all swollen and red now, beautiful too." He mumbled hoarsely, his other thumb brushing soft strokes on my bottom lips. Eyes gleaming with the feral need to poun
Chapter 151~ALICIA~"Failed, again." Desmond's gruff voice rang behind me, before spinning around and swiftly heading over the barrier counter that separated us from the bullseye target in his shooting range where he was training me. Or preferably, where he had been training me for the past two weeks now.Two weeks, it's been two weeks since this training, and the fire of vengeance that bubbled through my veins hadn't waned the slightest bit. It's been two weeks and I hadn't managed, not even for once had I been able to get the plaguing thoughts, of what I had signed up for, the horrific, gruesome image that haunted my nights and dreams of the Man I murdered in that car the day I ran into this irrevocable alliance. Two whole painful, lonely, yearning, and torturous weeks of trying to get the voices, the face, and touches of Dominic off my head and skin, my core, even. Two weeks of prepping myself and getting ready to throw myself into the dark, scary, impending, and awaiting fangs of
