“How is she? Is she alright?” the girls shouted the moment Sameeksha entered the house. “What happened to her? Why did he call you? Are you alright?”
Sameeksha said nothing and went to sit on the couch. She closed her eyes and a tear dropped from her eyes.
“Sam! Say something!” said Hazel.
“She had to endure a lot. She was burning with fever when I went there,” replied Sameeksha.
“What??” shouted everyone. “But she never gets sick. She is strong,” said Valentina.
“He killed again, in front of her. Once she took the shock but again it was impossible for her to do that,” said Sameeksha.
“Why would he do that? Is he a moron?” asked Ambrosia.
“He didn’t tell me the details. He was ready to kill me too,” said Sameeksha.
“Excuse me!” all the girls shouted at once.
“I don’t know what happened
“Call all the servants back,” ordered Michelangelo. “Michel?” Severino wanted to double-check what he just heard. “Call them back. She needs her rest. Tell everyone to take great care of her. She will do nothing from now on, just rest. Make sure everyone obeys her order,” said Michelangelo. Severino happily ran outside to phone the servants. At least now Renata would get rest and no torture. Also, the house needed some deep cleaning due to all the blood that spilt after killing. The medicine did its wonders and Renata regained her consciousness. Severino was there to greet her. “Are you okay?” asked Severino. “Um…” she sniffled. “he… he killed… again.” “I know and I am sorry that you had to see that,” said Severino. “Why, Sev, why? Why is he doing this to me? What is my fault? What did I do that he is punishing me? Making me wear such clothes and make me parade before everyone,” she broke down and tears started streaming down her face. Severino kneeled beside her bed and took
Michelangelo wanted to go near Renata. He wanted to take care of her. He wanted to say sorry to her but his anger, his guilt were not letting him do anything.Severino was the only one he trusted with her. Severino would give her food, her drink, feed her medicine and take care of her. Michelangelo could only stare at her from outside.He wanted to go in but she would always flinch and try to increase the distance when she would see him. He could see the fear in her eyes. He didn’t want to give her another shock so kept his distance. To give her free reigns, he started going out to his office. In the meantime, Renata would roam the house without any fear.One day she was having her lunch at the dining table when Michelangelo came home. He thought she might be done with her food and would be resting but he was wrong. She was at the table and the cook was feeding her salad and a light meal.The moment she saw Michelangelo she stopped eating. Her hands froze. Spoon froze in its path from
Renata shifted a little and her back was against Michelangelo’s stomach. The body heat emanating from him was enough for her to feel safe. The person she was afraid of kept her safe. The person she wanted to avoid at all costs ran to her when she needed him.The morning light streamed inside the room and filled with orange light. Neither Renata nor Michelangelo was ready to wake up. They were cosily sleeping in each other’s arms. They had no concern about the outside world. They were safe and happy and sleeping peacefully.Michelangelo knew she would scream again when she found out that he was sleeping next to her. But he didn’t want to go. After so many days, she was sleeping like the old times. He was close to her without any anger. He liked that feeling. But for now, he had to keep Renata’s feelings in mind. He had to go away before she would wake up.With a sigh, he got up from the bed and tucked Renata in her blanket. He walked out of the room where a shocked Severino greeted him
A new day came with promises and happiness. Renata was ready to go to the office. She dressed herself in a pantsuit and was ready to get her phone back. With a jump in her walk, she walked outside to the breakfast table.“Good morning!” she said. All looked at her with a smile as they never saw her this happy.“Here is your phone. About your job, we said you were taking leave, we didn’t give any reasons, just personal leave. So, you can tell them anything you want,” said Severino and handed the phone to her.She threw himself at Severino and hugged him, “thank you! Thank you!!”Severino immediately created some distance between them. “Don’t! never hug me, never hug anyone. You know what he said, no contact with any male, he will punish you.”“Right, sorry! I was just excited to go to work,” replied Renata.“Don’t talk to your friends, I will have to report you if you do,” said Severino.“I will keep that in mind. Sev! Did you ask about… why he is angry?” asked Renata.“I called Vickto
Michelangelo had been avoiding Vicktor for days. Vicktor wanted to talk about nominations with him, but he didn’t want to. He knew he was slowly becoming the prime choice for the Supreme boss. Still, he didn’t want that life. Even though he had killed for Renata, he didn’t want to kill any more people. Vicktor had no other option but to go to Michelangelo’s workplace. He was reading the messages from Renata, the hourly update when Vicktor knocked at the door. “Come in!” said Michelangelo. The moment he saw Vicktor he shouted in shock, “what are you doing here?” “What are YOU doing here? I have been calling you for days. Today was your meeting with the politicians. I reminded you about that,” snapped Vicktor. “I told you I don’t want to do anything with that. I am not interested,” said Michelangelo. “Every eye is on you, son. You have been climbing the ranks. You have to do more,” said Vicktor. “I don’t have to do shit!” chided Michelangelo. “Don’t snap at me. Understood?” scolde
Renata was standing puzzled inside the room. Michelangelo told her that she must be naked every night in his room, and she did that, then why did he shut the door? Did she make some mistakes? No, she followed every instruction.She was in her thoughts when the door opened again, and Michelangelo walked in. He locked the door behind him.“Did… I do… something wrong?” asked Renata.“Huh?” Michelangelo was confused. What was she asking about? Was she asking about why he was angry at her?“You ran away. You asked me to be in your room and here I am, why did you run away?” asked Renata.“Oh… that!!” Michelangelo understood everything. “Well, Vicktor was about to come in.”“What?” shouted Renata, grabbed the sheets from the bed and started wrapping herself.“Oh! You should not have done that!” sighed Michelangelo. “I told you naked, naked means naked. Now you covered yourself up. You deserve punishment.”“I… what? But you said Vicktor…” protested Renata.“I said he was about to come in. You
Renata would now go to her office, send hourly reports to Michelangelo and then come home. If she had time and quiet space, she would chat with her girls and tell them she was doing fine. At home, Michelangelo would ask her to strip and would have sex with her every night. The same thing repeated every day and soon Vicktor called him to tell him that there was going to be an auction party the next day. “You asked me to tell you if there was going to be a party. We are having one tomorrow. Fresh consignment is coming tomorrow,” said Vicktor. “Okay, good. I will be there with Renata,” replied Michelangelo. “Make sure she is dressed for the occasion,” said Vicktor. “I will.” Michelangelo went home from his office where Renata was already in his bedroom ready for whatever Michelangelo wanted. “Not today,” he said. “Sorry, what?” asked Renata. She was scared that she made another mistake. How come Michelangelo was saying no to sex with her? But she did everything according to him. Sh
The cars were driving smoothly on the road. Michelangelo could not remove his eyes from Renata. His heart was telling him not to bring her among the wolves, but his mind was ready to humiliate her even more. He had to show Narciso that she was his. He was her Master not Narciso. She slept with Narciso for a day, but he was sleeping with her every day. A few people used to bring their Odal to the party to show off their buys. Now it was Michelangelo’s turn. He had to show Narciso that it was high time that his brother stopped playing with his toys. He also had to make sure not to create any trouble in the auction as Tikhon would shout at their father, Vittore. Somewhere in his mind, he wanted to impress Tikhon. He had seen Tikhon with Aurora. Wherever he went, she always accompanied him. He never wanted any woman to have that kind of life but somehow, he was forcing Renata into that life. At least he allowed her to go to her job. She won’t be dependent for money on anyone. Money! Ma
