Chapter 82 ~Alicia~ "it's going to be a long night, Alicia." Nelly uttered, expressionless, her words holding no warmth in them or was I hallucinating? must be it, but I couldn't help the uneasiness that I felt as my heart tightened, watching her retreating figure from there. what was that?Sitting there like a little kid who has been told to wait patiently for her mother, my eyes darted around the entire place as I resumed my admiration of the well decorated hall, the huge and luxurious mansion and the couples who were present there, my eyes fell on the stage and I saw the butler who had led us into the venue earlier, making his way up there."Good day Beautiful Ladies and gentlemen." The butler's voice resonated through the loud yet amplified speakers and everyone's head snapped towards him on the dazzling stage that reeked of royalty and luxury. "May I have your attention please?" the butler's thick voice resonated once again and this time, the whole arena fell silent and my gaz
Chapter 83~Alicia~"Who do we have here with us tonight, Nelly?" The old man inquired, curious. freezing me in place. although he was scary, but that wasn't my fear at all. but the worse could happen if My stepmom would find out that it was me. I don't know what her reaction would be but she was a devil and wouldn't hesitate to pull another devilish scheme. I had so much wanted to confront her but not in this state. my heartbeat raced like a wild horse at every passing split second as I waited frantically and petrified for Nelly's words. it was as if everything around us had turned blurry. I could still here the faint sounds of the butler's words but all I wanted was to get out of here, safe, and alive. my gaze remained fixated on Nelly who did everything else but looked at me."Ha. she's....my friend. my friend mirabel. hehe. my college classmate before I left the country, uncle. I had invited her here because of my brother's birthday party and you know the vibe, uncle. trust me, she
Chapter 84~Alicia~"May I have this dance with you.....muffin?" That familiar husky and hypnotizing voice cooed softly yet rigidly. I felt my entire body shuddering at the sound of his voice. Trying hard to remain as normal as possible, I slowly raised my already glistening ocean-green hues to meet with his grey piercing predatory orbs that peered intently down at me with a small smile dangling on his face. My breath hitched as our gazes met each other's. With every bit of sanity and restraint in me, I held back my startled gasp and appalled look as I feigned a small smile at him. The thought of, what if Dom was somewhere, watching, struck me, and my face got deprived of every single smile that could tug on it as my hues glistened more. I shouldn't be here. How dumb was I to not know that it was this Desmond? But Nelly hadn't even given me the name of the birthday bash yesterday and I blindly followed her."Don't keep the prince waiting, mirabel hehe." Becky, my Stepmom's voice rang.
Chapter 85~Alicia~"Hidden Enough, behind the mask?" my step mother's mockery voice rang venomously low as a sinister grin plastered her face. her every step sinking my heart into the deepest part of my stomach as my breath hitched."Wh-what are you doing h...here...?" my voice came out, shaking as I gazed at her who strode towards me with a sadistic smirk on her face."I don't need permission from anyone, let alone your insignificant self, to be at my soon to-be's stepson's birthday party, now do I, dear....stepdaughter?" she Uttered proudly, freezing my heart as my eyes bulged and watered in shock and terror at her words. She...she was getting married again? Already??I watched her striding closer and nearer to me, petrified. My voice had long betrayed me and my eyes were deprived of any tears as I was too stunned and scared. My heart dropped as I watched her halting just an inch away from me before extending her hands to my face, causing me to flinch before shutting my eyes and wai
Chapter 86~Alicia~"And who said you could harm her!" my eyes bulged as much as my heart froze at the sound of that familiar voice and face that defended me. as he's hand gripped tightly around my Stepmom's wrist, suspending it in the air as she had raised it to strike me. peering deadly down and brazenly at her as she trembled beneath him."I....she hit me first, look." she stuttered, pushing her side of her cheek which I had graced with a slap, towards him to show him as she spoke. A heart-freezing scowl engulfed his perfect structured face as much as he's eyes turned bloodthirsty red as he peered down at her, gritting hard on he's teeth, few strands of hair fell gracefully on one side of his forehead while the rest is brushed back. I felt my heart thudding louder as my eyes bulged, watching him."Shut your Damn mouth, Becky! you know not how long i have been outside that Damn door! the earlier you realize that your grip is still on her hair, and unclasp it, the better for you!" he
Chapter 87~Dom~ My heart ran rampant like a wild horse against my chest in both an unfamiliar fear that I couldn't fathom and in pure rage as my eyes got deprived of any kind of warmth. as I sat at the back seat of my black van, soulless. We had gotten back to Chicago two hours ago and we were close to my father's castle. A deadly and soulless smirk ghosted my lips as I clutched my phone tightly as if to squash it into nothingness. but in reality, what I wanted to squash was that blonde head of Desmond as I watched him through that picture as he held my possession extremely close to his chest. my heartbeat accelerated abnormally as I watched her fingers which were placed on his chest as they danced. "Fuck!" a low growl escaped my mouth as I threw my head to the back and rested it on my seat in both rage and frustration. frustrated because I couldn't understand this unfamiliar feeling inside my heart, this longing feeling to see her and this possessiveness that my heart screamed. I h
Chapter 88~Dom~my Father was turned petrified as he unlatched his eyes nervously before darting his gaze slowly through the right side of his face where that bullet had swished passed. He's gaze broadened and his jaws clenched as his rigid eyes fell on one of his most trusted Men, laying cold dead in the pool of an enormous amount of his own blood behind him as dark smoke oozed out of his forehead as it was oozing out of the muzzle of the gun I was holding, indicating it's current use. petrified and enraged, my Father exhaled a heavy breathe before locking his gaze on mine in a challenging deadly glare before darting his eyes to her favorite baby, Nelly who was almost lifeless in my viscous grip."Where is my woman?!" my voice once again thundered, and sounded more desperate and treacherous."Well if she was that important to you that you could even kill your own sister and attempt to take your own father's life then why did you let her attend your brother's birthday party when you
Chapter 89~Dom~"Alicia!" my voice came out hoarse and desperate. I couldn't help the enormous surge of fear that surged through my entire being. It was like I was watching my entire life being snatched away from me as I stood there, gazing lifelessly at the Duo who halted in their tracks at the sound of my voice and my sudden invasion. But wouldn't detach from each other. For my brother, I knew that he was aware of my presence and that I would surely find her and that's why he did what he did, and that only infuriated my guts more as I knew that he was trying to confirm my infatuation towards Alicia.Clenching my fists and jaw as I stood behind them with his back facing me, I saw his shoulders working, indicating that he was laughing before he slowly twirled around with a menacing grin on his face as his grin grew more treachery and loud. My rage blazed as my breathing became ragged in fury, an uncontrollable pain that tugged on my heart and the strange race of my heart as I watched
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
