CarrieA brutal growl woke me up from my deep slumber. Bewildered, I quickly sat up. But when a pain in the side of my stomach stabbed me, my heart jumped in great fright and I came to the realisation that I had not eaten anything reasonable since I found myself in this unknown town.A deeper delve into how I have managed to risk my health made me feel sadder for my baby who must have been waiting for something to munch on.But I didn’t brood on my recklessness for too long.After a quick look around the room, I rubbed the remnants of sleep off my eyes and got off the bed with the desire to search for the restaurant Gary mentioned before.I had already walked past the bedroom door when a sizable brown bag was pushed in my face.With my face wrapped with great confusion, I tried to swerve past the unusual blockage, and that was when Alessandro’s thick voice reached my ears.“You must be hungry,” he said. The bag was instantly dumped into my arms and the sweet smell of hamburger and the
CarrieMy Father who art in heaven… Why do shitty things keep happening to me?I am presently staring at a group of angry men whose expressions of displeasure abounded as the seconds grew. Their deep furrows showed their determination to tear me apart and I am facing such a predicament because someone thinks that I am a spy.Why can’t I ever have a normal life?Just… why?As I focused my sight on the many men who were possibly thinking of forcing me out of the car, I reasoned what my next line of action would be.Of course, I have to assure them that I am not a spy. But how do I do that?I have a gut feeling that these men won’t be willing to listen to my explanations. But, I mean, I have to try. That’s the only option I have at this point.So, while I managed a cheeky smile, my voice took on a soothing tone and I said, “Please… That’s… That’s not true.”“She is lying! I heard her communicating with them. Besides, she ran away this morning. Why would she run if she didn’t have anythin
Carrie“She is pregnant for you?”It was uncertain whether Alessandro’s grandfather was shocked because a woman was pregnant for his grandson or if he was disgusted by the fact that I was the one involved with him. Surely, his hatred for my father didn’t go unnoticed.“Yes.” A clicking sound from Alessandro followed and he eased his stern posture to fold his arms. “And now that issue is settled, I hope you remember our discussion. And I hope you keep your word.”“How… I …”“Remain clueless for all I know, Grandfather. But make sure you stay away from Miss Edwards. She’s too precious for you to try to play with.”“I don’t approve of her,” the older man quickly retorted.“That’s hardly my business. So, please excuse us.” I wasn’t sure what Alessandro was about to do, so I waited for him to lead the way. He walked toward me and carefully guided my legs back into the car without sparing me a look.“Alessandro Valante! Are you seriously walking out on me?”“You made a fool of yourself alre
CarrieThe Walk of Shame that I was meant to experience after the first night I spent with Alessandro was only just getting to me at that moment. After we walked past the busy reception where Alessandro got his key card, the silence that found its way to our midst when we entered the elevator made me feel ashamed for some reason I could not decipher.And that feeling worsened after we walked out and down the corridor towards his room.But thankfully, after a seemingly long walk, we finally ended up in front of his room. A ting from the door lock led us into the huge room.Once I stepped into the abode that gave off more of Alessandro’s scent, I raced toward the couch at the other end of the room. It was the seat that was closest to a window. As I settled, I refused to look in Alessandro’s direction. My eyes stayed fixed on the view of the city ahead.“I need ten minutes,” Alessandro informed me. And I still refused to look at him.I pretended that something extremely interesting had c
CarrieFor a couple of minutes, all of my senses were ignited and I could see, feel and hear things twice as much.The fire in Alessandro’s eyes.The way those eyes flickered into slight confusion. The way his hands held me in places I could not ignore. His chest pressing into mine and the crazy pounding from my heart…I sensed everything.And I could not find a way to escape from that moment. It became especially harder to escape after he shifted his lower body so that he was caging me between his legs.My hands gathered to my chest as coyness befell me and I found myself waiting for a chance to ask him why he was in tears.“Miss Edwards…” His voice was full of sleep. “Your eyes… These eyes of yours…” He moved again and I felt him brush against my centre. “I think they are really the solution.”“Th-The solution?” My brows jerked for a second and I wondered if the heat that had been threatening to explode between us was finally going to be explored.“I feel happy right now.”His state
Alessandro“Our men have captured the spy,” Eduardo informed me eagerly. Then, he scoffed and said, “I can’t believe your grandfather almost jailed Carrie. She doesn’t even look like someome that would be a spy.”“I can’t believe that I cried,” I murmured to myself as I played the moment that led to Miss Edwards and I sharing another intimate contact.“Did that old man really think that things would go his way? I must say, he is always desperate to suck some blood. I wonder if he is a vampire when the rest of us are sleeping.”I finally dragged myself out of my thoughts and focused on Eduardo’s words. “We hardly sleep around here. You are no stranger to that fact.” My eyes remained trained on Miss Edwards who was still sleeping soundly, greatly unaware that two men were standing over her. “Eduardo?” I called because an issue I have found myself battling with became something I desired to share with the man.“Do you want to order the death of the spy?” The thirst for some action rested
AlessandroI had no desire to waste time. Not when that woman’s life is in danger. My entire being knows that dragging and smearing the issue my grandfather has created would have been a delight, but Miss Edwards’s life is more important.So, with glaring eyes, I tossed Eduardo’s phone to him and got rid of the glove I was handed. Attempting to wear that glove will be a waste of time. Besides, this will not be the first time I’ll get blood on my hands.“So, what are you going to do?” The old man continued to taunt me. “Are you going to-?”I faced one of the men next to me and asked for a dagger. Well, to be more precise, I asked for my special dagger, the very one that does the job in one go.“Alessandro…”“Shut it.” I hurried my steps toward the spy. With a firm hold of his head, I tilted his bloodied face upwards and after a brief eye contact with the almost soulless man, I dragged the sharpness of the blade across his neck as slowly as possible. Taking a good number of seconds to c
CarrieI woke up from a long sleep and I could tell that there was something wrong. Not only was there an unusual rush of breeze, but the smell around me also was that of deadened sweat and since I have never perceived such a thing around Alessandro, I was left to think that I had some unknown visitors while I was sleeping.I have to say though… That sleep was one of the best I have had in a while. And it is a delight that I am not using that statement in reference to sex.Unable to return to the slumber world, I got rid of the comfy blankets draped over my feet and prepared myself to get off the bed. As I calculated how I would hurriedly transport myself to the bathroom so that I could get rid of the pressing urge to pee, I finally sensed Alessandro’s presence.But the man was not on the couch on which, or rather, against which we had unexpected, mind-blowing sex. But when I looked towards the exit and saw a brief outline of his shadow that had managed to seep past the door, I rushed
