NATASHA We waited outside for quite a while. Ten minutes? Fifteen? Perhaps half an hour. Either way, I was so close to losing my shit and bailing. It was hard to know whom to trust, even among your people. What if Luca trusted this Luigi ma, but Luigi had sworn fealty to Hell? The man literally lived and worked in the Sole Dorato. If he was caught sniffing around, his life was over. “Quit looking like you swallowed a lemon, Nat,” Olivia grumbled, and I blinked, barely believing what I had just heard. What on earth? Has something happened to stiff and Stoic Natasha? “What? Why are you staring at me like that?” “What did you just call me?” I asked, chuckling when she blushed slightly and diverted her gaze away from mine. “Natasha seems like a handful to call. Nat was short and better,” she said quietly, her voice barely audible. “Isn't that cute?” I teased. If she was drafting up nicknames for me, then it could only mean one thing - the cold Oliv
NATASHA “I'll place a call to the human resource manager of the hotel,” Luigi informed us. “He's a friend, but that does not mean he can be trusted. “ Olivia and I nodded at his words. It was best not to think we should count on anyone. Trust was a double-edged sword. It could very well be our end. I watched him speak as he continued on and on about the dos and don'ts of the hotel. “Answer all their questions without hesitation,” he urged. “A prolonged pause can only mean you have something to hide. And the minute the mafia suspects you, they'll dig further into your records and, well, shit could happen. “ “Noted,” I mumbled, making mental notes. “I'm guessing with how tight they are with whomever they employ and all, it'll be quite hard to secure a spot, wouldn't it?” “Of course not,” Olivia disputed. “Our entire mission depends on us getting into Sole Dorato.”Luigi sighed and shook his head. “I did promise Luca that I would try to get y
NATASHA “Ah, come on,” I told her, closing the door behind me. “I had expected worse.”The room wasn't too small, but it wasn't exactly a bug either. There were two students sized beds on either side of the room. A closet adjoined the rooms, containing four maid uniforms. There was a window, but it was so high up, it would seem impossible to climb through. “They really do not want their maids spilling secrets about them,” Olivia said, eyeing the window. “True,” I responded, making my way to a bed and flopped on it. The mattress was surprisingly soft, and my eyes closed tiredly. “Think I could manage a nap?” “I'm pretty sure he said something about the head maid coming,” Olivia replied, and I groaned. I needed to sleep. Hell, even if it was just for an hour. I felt so damned tired. Flashes of the events of the past twenty-four hours ran through my mind. The meeting with Luigi lasted almost all night. We needed to iron a lot of things out. I wou
NATASHA I turned around to see another maid, a petite, pretty thing with huge gray eyes and fine black hair tied in a ponytail. She had a basket of towels in her hands and smiled rather prettily at me. “Yeah,” I laughed lightly. “It's pretty obvious, yeah?” She chuckled too. It was soft and cute, and it made me wonder what the hell she was doing here. She couldn't be older than Alisa and looked every bit as innocent as her, too. Why on earth was someone like her in a place like this? Why was she here? “Yeah, it is,” she replied. “I'm Isabella, you can call me Bella,” “Natasha,” I told her simply. “Do you by any chance know where rooms thirty-five to forty are? I'm supposed to clean them, and if we're being quite honest, Agatha is terrifying.”Isabella chuckled. “Oh, she's always like that at first. She tried to instill discipline and all that. But if you're pretty humble, she can be the sweetest human,” I glanced at where Agatha had disappeare
LORENZO “You!” No fucking way. I stood in the bedroom of my damned hotel, staring at the vision before me. Had I hit my head and passed out or some shit? Was I high? I had sworn off drugs for years now, so I highly doubted that. Unless Alejandro had messed with me again and shoved some coke in my tea or something. No, he wouldn't do that. The last time he did, I hung him out to dry on my balcony with only a piece of cloth covering his balls. So why on earth was I seeing my naughty vixen standing right in front of me, dressed in a sexy maid outfit, looking so darned ripe for the taking? I had better not be hallucinating, or I really was going to lose my fucking head. I hadn't seen her in weeks! Ever since that night at the club in New York, I had ached and pinned for her like a damned bastard. I had ached to see those fierce eyes glare at me the way they did right now, stoking a fire in my belly. I could feel my cock straining against the tow
Natasha's povShame could not begin to describe how I felt in that moment. The acute awareness of my body's reaction to his advances made things even ten times worse. Without looking back I ran out of his hotel room, feeling stupid and at the same time moronic for letting him talk me into kissing him.I heard him call out my name as I slammed the door behind me but I paid him zero attention. I wanted to be as far away from him as possible.My legs carried me without the knowledge of my brain straight back to my room on the ground floor. It was only when I came face to face with my room door, I realized that I had even left the top floor.I inserted my key into the lock and twisted it to open the door.I entered the room and closed the door behind me and slid down to the ground, my back against the door frame, glad that I was finally in the comfort of my own space, well temporary space.Now alone, the memory of what I had almost done assaulted me like an abusive parent and I shuddered a
Lorenzo's pov.As expected the guys were already seated when I arrived at the bar fifteen minutes later and had probably taken a round of drinks judging by the empty whiskey glasses on the table. Normally I'd be annoyed by this but I had been a full thirty minutes late due to a beautiful unforeseen circumstance that had miraculously found its way in my room. When I saw the beautiful long haired girl in my room wearing a maid outfit that should be crime, I had instantly gotten hard.I had not expected to see her again after that night but damn was I not ecstatic that I had and in my room no less.I had to spend a good fifteen minutes with a hired hooker to get that pent up sexual tension she'd inspired, go.It had been a quick fuck but it had been needed and the whole time, I had imagined that she was the one taking my dick.I walked up to my men who were laughing at something Vincent was saying. He was animatedly explaining something to them and his story must be thrilling because th
Natasha's pov.I walked down the stairs the next day to clean up the rooms allotted to me feeling incredibly tired. I didn't get much sleep last night, how could I have ? when the mystery man from the bar kept haunting my dreams, well, not haunting perse, he was mostly trying to seduce me but that was considered haunting in my books. I didn't even like the dude, considering how obnoxious and rude he is.The only time I had gotten any sleep was around 5am to 7am which Wasn't nearly enough time for the previous day I had.I had woken up and found that Olivia had left before me which was great because I didn't have to give her an explanation as to why I was so cranky this morning.."Hi Natasha." A maid walking up the stairs waved at me. *Hello." I smiled back at her despite how tired I felt and how much I'd prefer to do without human interaction."I'm late aren't I?" I asked her when she got closer to me and she shook her head."Just a few minutes, if you hurry you'll get there bef
Lorenzo's POV "You are free to go. You have recovered enough to move around." My doctor said to me five days after I had been rushed to the hospital.I hadn't seen any signs of Natasha in two days but Alejandro never stopped visiting me.I suspected Natasha was going through some shit herself that was why. I couldn't wait to see her. It had been forty eight hours of not seeing her beautiful face."Thank you doctor." I said to him and stood up."I'll send you what I owe you." I informed him and left his office with the drugs and painkillers he had given me.Alejandro was waiting for me outside the doctor's office. He immediately stood up when he saw me coming outside."Hey Boss, are you free to go?" He asked."Yeah, thanks Alejandro." I said to him,"For what?" He questioned, looking confused as always."For not betraying me." He stared at me and smiled."Brothers don't betray brothers." He said and I smiled at his statement. For a goof ball, he was incredibly fucking smart."Alrigh
Natasha's POV My phone rang and it was Olivia calling. She was finally here with drugs and first aid."Are you sure this is a good idea?" Lorenzo asked, his breathing was getting worse by the minute and his eyes were closing. He was losing way too much blood fast."I'm sure. I trust Olivia. She's my friend."Lorenzo nodded and left the shed.The shed was far from the hotel building, past the second swimming pool and at least almost a mile from the hotel buildingclose to an amusement park that had been closed for years. That had been abandoned for years. Nobody would think to look for us there.I saw Olivia and waved at her. She rsb towards me and gave me a big hug."Oh, my God you are okay!" She cried."I am." I hugged her back."I thought something happened to you. Do I called Luca, I'm sorry." She was almost on the verge of tears which shocked me because I had never seen her cry before."It's okay, Liv. Thank you." She let go of me ad wiped her eye, her blue eyes staring into min
Lorenzo’s POVI pulled Natasha into a tight hug. I was equal parts sad and equal parts murderous and also felt like a fool for just threatening her sister.I couldn’t believe my ears after she had told me her entire life story.I felt murderous.I was going to kill him. Luca. For threatening Natasha. I was going to decapitate him.“Why are you sorry?” Natasha asked, confusion in her eyes. “I tried to kill you.”she explained, her face still scrunched up in confusion.“Not of your own volition. You were forced to do it. My God, you’ve been forced to do things your whole life for fuck sake!” I screamed in frustration.She had to be the strongest woman in the world because there was no way in hell any other woman would have survived all her struggles.I wanted to protect her but also wanted to torture and kill the people that had forced her to live this kind of life.She blinked at me, word clearly failing her."I'm going to solve all of this. I'm good to kill Luca and I'm going to prote
Natasha’s POV“Fuck, yes!” I screamed out as Lorenzo pounded me from behind.I had no idea how we’d gotten here. One moment he was interrogating me, trying to get the truth out of me, the next he was on me, kissing me and tearing my already flimsy close off and fucking me.I knew I shouldn’t be enjoying this but it felt so good. I didn’t even mind being restrained.“Yeah? You like that?” Lorenzo asked with labored breath, his dick pounding my insides like he was on a mission.“Yes, don’t stop, please!” I begged meeting his strokes with my hip movement.It felt so good and I was so wet for him, it was embarrassing, but I didn’t care.I needed more.“Harder, oh fuck me hrder please.”Lorenzo flipped me over so that I was looking up at him and he spread me ego.“I want to look into yours eyes while I fuck the shit out of you.” He growled and inserted his dick back into my folds and then slammed into me hard and fast. His strokes were fatser now, not giving me room to breathe. I could f
Olivia’s POVI paced my room, confused on what to do. Natasha was still missing and it had been five days.What was I going to do?Luca had said he was going to help but he was still nowhere to be found. He had not even called since that day and I was worried to death.Deciding the best thing to do was to call him, I dialed his number. He picked on the first ring.“Kitten!” His sweet seductive voice poured through the phone.I forgot just how much I missed him.“Hi,” I said, my voice squeaky.“It’s been five days and Natasha is still missing and you said you’d do something about it but…”“I am in fact I am at the resort down at the lobby of the hotel.”“Wait! What?”“Yes Kitten.”“I don’t understand…”“I told you I was going to fix and that’s what I am doing. Fixing it.”I practically ran out of the room down to the lobby, almost hitting Isabella in the process.I got to the lobby and looked around, trying to find Luca but there was no one who remotely resembled him.Was he pullin
Natasha’s POV.I stared at Lorenzo’s face , my heart beating faster than I could process what I was looking at. It couldn’t be. “No!” I shook my head in denial. Y… you can’t be Hell…” I stuttered.“I am.” Lorenzo’s voice echoed in my ears softly. He was staring at me with a resigned expression.“So… so you’ve been Hell all this while?”“Yes.” He nodded again. I stared blankly at him before bursting into fits of laughter. I couldn’t stop laughing for a good three minutes. The situation was just so funny. But I wasn’t sure I was laughing because of that.“I’ve been sleeping with Hell.” I whispered, covering my mouth in disgust.I wasn’t even sure what to feel. This was too much to process. I ran my hands through my hair that was now completely tangled and matted to my head.The sound of running footsteps alerted me and I quickly ran towards Lorenzo without thinking, holding another of my many sharpened stick I have been sharpening for a while now.My intention was to stab him or
Lorenzo’s POV“You are back.” Natasha’s voice echoed as I came to stand in front of her with only the bars separating the both of us and the rope currently trying her to the chair.Her voice sounded rough and dry but her eyes still had a little mischievous light in them like she wasn’t bothered about her present predicament. Just who the fuck was she and who was she working for?I had always wondered where all her courage and feistiness came from and now It was clear. She really wasn’t like other women and I should have known that most ordinary women weren’t just able to get out off handcuffs so easily.“You look tired.” I said, my voice. Sounding like batman’s. That was the one thing I loved about my Hell masks. It came with a voice tuber that could change the sound of my voice.She didn’t respond to my statement just stared at me with an air of superiority.It irked me that I didn’t know what she was thinking and it irked me more knowing that she was spying on me all this while
Lorenzo’s Pov“Take her down!” I barked at Vincent.“And why the fuck is she blindfolded?” “I didn’t think you’d want to you know…”“Take off the blindfold then, I’m wearing my mask aren’t I?”Vincent nodded and walked towards the cell where she was locked up.I was a good ten feet away unable to look at her. It felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest seeing her like that.“Done boss.” Vincent said and I walked up to the Cell.She was on handcuffs now and sitting facing me behind bars while I stood outside..She looked up at me, a blank expression on her face.“Who the hell are you?” she asked, scanning my masked face.“Who do you think I am?” I asked, watching her.She was quiet for several moments. I could literally see her head doing some calculations.“Hell?” she asked, tilting her head to the side, a superior glint appearing in her eyes.“Nice mask. I’d have gone for one a little more Hellish instead of one so clowny but I guess not everyone can have taste.” She quipp
Olivia’s POV.My hands shook as I dialed Luca’s number. I had not spoken to him for months and for reasons I couldn’t process, I was nervous too.I placed the burner phone against my ears and waited for Luca to pick up.“Luca…” I whispered into the phone as soon as he picked up.“Kitten. Are you okay?” He asked, his smooth voice pouring through the phone and into me.Kitten? He hadn’t called me that in years. I loved the sound of it.“Yes, I’m fine but Natasha might be in trouble.”“What happened?” He asked.I heard rustling through the phone as if he had just sat up properly to listen to me.“I haven’t seen her in almost two days.” I explained, my heart beating faster than normal. I thought I’d be over it by now but it seemed not.“What happened? Where was the last place you saw her?” I told Luca everything that happened from our leads and findings to when Natasha had left for her date with Lorenzo.“I see. Don’t worry then. I’ll fix this.” Luca said in that reassuring voice he empl
