Michelangelo knew he could not go to her office without any reason. And he would not have a reason without her ideas for his ad. When she would send him the samples, only then he could talk to her.He waited for two days but she didn’t reply to him or even try to make contact. his hands were itching to make a call and ask for updates but she asked him not to follow him. He didn’t want to force a relationship on her.He simply sent her a message asking for an update about his AD campaign. “Hey! You were supposed to send me a few samples for the AD. I am still waiting.”She didn’t reply to him for hours. He had to finally snitch to her boss, Angela. “Hi! This is Michelangelo Venturi. I was looking for updates about my project.” He knew Renata would get scolded but he wanted to hear from her. Even if she would be angry, he could take it. He just wanted to hear her voice.He kept staring at the picture of her panty th
The machine gun was firing at the gate. The metals kept clanking and clinking and ricocheting off the gate. One guard was lying down on the ground, dead. Another was firing his gun by hiding behind the gate. The main gate was half-open, half-closed. Severino had to save his boss.He jumped out of the car, hid behind the SUV’s door and started firing in the direction of the machine gun. The sun was facing Severino making it difficult for him to see who was firing. He could only see a semi-truck that had a machine gun mounted on it.The lack of police was a bane as well as a boon for the mafia. But at that moment Severino wanted the police to come. He wanted anyone to come help him save his boss. His mistake, he forgot how skilled Michelangelo was.Michelangelo jumped from the car and grabbed a gun. He kept shooting at the semi-truck and ordered everyone, “give me cover.”“What? No!” shouted Severino but by that time Michelange
Severino jumped on the truck to see what Vicktor was pointing at. Vicktor had lowered the shirt of the man who was shooting at them and his bare back was staring in his face. “What the hell?” shouted Severino when he saw the word ‘Odal’ branded on the back.“That means he was a slave?” asked Michelangelo.“Yes, a slave, a slave bought and branded in the Auction Ring. He was sold by us and he attacked us on someone’s orders,” replied Vicktor.“Sev! Check the other two men,” commanded Michelangelo.Severino jumped off the truck and went to the driver's side. He took off the driver’s shirt and gasped when he saw Odal branded on his back. The same was the case with the passenger-side goon. He too was an odalisque, he too was a slave. “What is happening?” asked Severino. “Who dare hit us with our slaves?”“Slaves are expendables,” said Michelangelo. “That’s why people use them.”“He is not wrong,” said Vicktor.“What do we have here?” suddenly a female voice attracted their attention. A
Michelangelo was eagerly waiting for the call and his phone rang. He happily looked at the screen thinking it might be Severino or Renata but it was his father, Vittore Venturi. He groaned as he saw the name. they were going to ask him about the attack. It was sure that Vicktor would have informed them about the same. “Yes, Dad,” said Michelangelo. “Are you okay?” asked Vittore. “Yes, Dad, I am fine. One of guards is dead and one is injured. Other than that we are fine,” said Michelangelo. “I don’t care about others, I care if you are okay,” snapped Vittore. “They worked for me, you should care about them. They had families too,” scolded Michelangelo. “You and your bleeding heart. That will hurt you one day,” said Vittore. “Most parents praise their kid for being kind, not like you. You always taunt me. It’s a good thing, dad. Do you want me to be like Narciso?” asked Michelangelo. “In today’s world, you need to be like Narciso,” said Vittore. “I don’t want to be like him, a n
Renata could not sleep the whole night. Her heart kept aching. She knew she had to send Michelangelo away but why was that hurting her? She kept sighing and exhaling loudly while trying to sleep. And when she would fall asleep, he would barge into her dreams, kissing her, touching her making love with her. What had he done to her?She was extremely tired when she woke up, she couldn’t sleep well. Her eyes were still drooping when she came out of her room after her alarm screamed for two whole minutes. She needed caffeine. All her friends were still sleeping. She kept opening her eyes to see better but they would keep drooping.While scratching her head, she walked into the kitchen and kept the water to boil. She was not going to spend time making coffee, she didn’t have the patience. Today, instant coffee would do. While the water was boiling, she slept standing near the kitchen slab.“What are you doing?” suddenly Sameeksha’s voice
Yoshiro was irking Renata. He was trying to get close to her which she didn’t like. He made her touch his chin and neck when all she wanted was to get away from him. What shocked Renata was when Yoshiro asked about Michelangelo. Thank God! Angela walked in at the right moment or she would have taught Yoshiro some manners. “You know him?” asked Renata to Angela. “Yeah, we had a video chat in the morning. He is the client I told you about. I was just concerned when I saw a lot of people standing outside. What happened to him?” asked Angela. “Nothing! And if he is the client I am not working on his campaign,” said Renata and walked out of the room. “Ren! Renata!” shouted Angela and tried to run after her. But then she had a client to tend to. “Will you be, okay?” “Yeah, yeah, I have fresh clothes. Don’t worry,” said Yoshiro. “Please wear those and I will meet you in my cabin,” said Angela. “Um… Ms. Renata left her jacket. Could you send her back?” “I can give that to her,” said A
Renata kept staring at Yoshiro while he was being escorted by security. He turned to look at her and flashed a devilish smirk at her. She gritted her teeth at his defiance. He was being thrown out of the company that too shirtless and he was still smiling, Renata could not understand his expressions.And why was he asking about Michelangelo? Was Michelangelo that famous or Yoshiro was simply his competitor? Was this an example of corporate espionage? Renata kept thinking. She had to ask Angela about what it was. What was the product Yoshiro wanted an AD for?Her whole body was reeling with anger. Every muscle on her body was tight due to clenching. She wanted to kill Yoshiro for kissing her forcefully. And what the hell was he talking about, sex slave? She was an independent woman, she was never going to be anyone’s slave. She would kill that man who tried to make her a slave.She then stared at Angela with squinted eyes. Her cheeks were red with anger. He
One year later….Michelangelo snaked his hand under Renata’s waist and pulled her closer to himself. She moaned a little in her sleep but adjusted herself as the small spoon. He kissed on her neck and sighed happily.His love was sleeping close to him and there were no enemies around except the two alarm clocks, one boy and a girl, who could wake up at any time disturbing Renata’s beauty sleep. She needed that sleep to look good tomorrow. After one whole year of proposing, Renata finally said yes to him and they were going to be married tomorrow. He could not sleep due to excitement. He again looked at Renata. She had gained weight because of childbirth and her full figure made her look even prettier. If she was hot before, she was irresistible now.He lowered the string of her spaghetti top and started planting wet kisses all over her neck and shoulder. Renata groaned a little and tried to move away from him but he pulled her even closer and wrapped his arms around her tightly.“Mic
The big court was full of people. The head of coscas, Tikhon, Consiglieres, the enforcers, the footmen, everyone was present there waiting for their hearing. Tikhon was sitting beside his lawyer in his seat with his head down. After the death of Aurora, he spoke the bare minimum. He just opened his mouth to answer whatever was being asked to him. It was like he was broken from the inside. The woman he loved the most was dead. His vast empire had crumbled down. All the people working for him were under arrest. His wife, his daughter hated him. No one was with him, no one cared about him anymore. He was a broken shell of a man. The judge arrived and everyone stood up. The girls and Michelangelo were sitting in the back behind the Aagua State Attorney (ASA). Interpol had done its job and handed everything to the local government. After Aagua would be done punishing, Tikhon and the head of Coscas would go back to Siago to face charges there too. Aagua state attorney stood up first and g
The precinct was filled with people from SMS. There was no place inside the prison for their holding. Tikhon was still screaming for Aurora but she was dead. Nika was taken to the hospital and Aurora to the morgue. Yekaterina was not officially arrested yet she never left Renata’s side. She clung to her as if her life depended on it. Interpol people were reviewing all the evidence collected and matching names with everyone present there. The whole precinct was echoing with sounds like ‘I didn’t do anything’, ‘I am innocent’, ‘I never laid hands on anyone’, ‘I was just the bodyguard’, ‘let me go’, etc. “You need to sit down. I have to go to prison, Yeka,” said Renata. “You are not under arrest, you cannot come inside.” “But where should I go? I have no one left,” sobbed Yekaterina. “You have your mother. Prestige! Can you take her to the hospital? Yeka! You need to be with her. If you need anything say Renata Zyanya have sent you,” ordered Renata. “Who?” asked Yekaterina. “Renata
Aurora was not ready for what Renata was saying. What did she mean by she was four steps ahead? With one move Aurora was sure that she would make Renata bend her knees before her then why was she smiling and not afraid? Did she stop loving her sister? Did she not care about her? Was her hatred of her father so great that she was ready to sacrifice her sister? Aurora looked to her side where Renata was staring. What was she doing? Why was she looking at Yekaterina? “Bring her to me,” snapped Aurora and signalled Aurelie. Aurora looked at Renata and spewed poison, “You are against auction ring. Then see what I will do to your sister in the auction ring. I will sell her again and again to different people for one night each. She will be branded odal over and over again till we run out of the skin to brand her. I will turn your sister into a whore, a prostitute. She will live to pleasure men and women. Your sister will beg for death, but I will not allow her to die. She will be my whore,
“Fanasi! What…?” Vicktor was shocked to his core.“She killed Samiul, Vicktor, she killed him. She told everything to Tikhon. She told him how I wanted to shut down the auction ring. But it was the greatest source of her income. How could she let that go? She is behind everything, Tikhon is just her puppet, smitten by her. You think Tikhon hit her, abused her, no, he never laid a hand on her. Everything was a ruse.“You are such a great actress. Aren’t you? You made everyone believe that you were the victim, but everyone else was the victim. I hated Nika for torturing you, but you endured all because you had to get sympathy from everyone. The first odal!” Renata scoffed. “You sold yourself to show everyone how good the auction ring business was. He bought you because you asked him to.“You even let him brand you. You are the one who started this kidnapping, this torture, this buying and selling, this abuse-culture. How sadist are you? Just to get some money you are okay to sell young
Renata was shocked to the core. She could not believe what was happening. Tikhon was coming close to her. But it was not the way she hoped for. She had her mother in his grip. She was ready to kill his first odal just to get Renata. So many guns were pointed at her and her team. How was she going to get out of this situation? Tikhon was almost in her face. He grabbed her neck and brought her face closer to himself. His eyes were dripping fear but his hands were not afraid of her. He knew she loved her mother and would do anything to save her. “I am going to kill you. I will burn the skin off you and then chop you into pieces. This time you will stay dead. No one is taking SMS away from me. SMS will live,” he kept gritting his teeth. His saliva kept flying on Renata’s face. She never even flinched. “No, please,” Aurora begged. “Oh, but I forgot, you are pregnant. You daughter of a whore, you are pregnant. Are you sure your kid is Michel’s? or are you trying to trap him just like yo
The day was extremely bright that day. The day of the coronation arrived. Renata was locked in her house as she knew she was going to get her father. He was going to lose. Michelangelo had planned everything, and she was ready for it. But was she really ready to destroy her father and his empire? Her mind was occupied with Yeka and her mother, Aurora. She knew that Tikhon knew that she was coming, and he would definitely use them as a shield. Although she had a plan in motion, she was not sure if she would succeed. Something was going to be wrong she had an intuition. “Are you ready?” Sameeksha knocked at the door. Renata opened the door and exhaled loudly. “Woah! You don’t look good,” said Sameeksha. Renata raised one finger and ran to the bathroom. Whatever she ate last night, she puked everything. Sameeksha ran to the bathroom after her and kept caressing her back. Renata sat down on the bathroom floor after puking her guts. “Oh!” Renata groaned. “Feeling okay, now?” asked Same
Renata’s plan to irk them was working. Her plan to teach everyone a lesson was working.“You bastard! You daughter of an odal. You dare do this to us,” snapped all three at her and stood up. Vikentiy raised his gun at her.Renata lowered her eyes and took a deep sigh. She then raised her head to look at him and with fire in her eyes stood up. She walked up to him and put her head on the barrel of his gun.“Do it! Let’s see how much courage you have,” taunted Renata. “If you kill me, my people might give you your kids back.”“Ren!” shouted Hazel and a few of Renata’s team members stood up in shock.Renata raised her finger to shut her up. Everyone sat back down. Looking at her fierce eyes Vikentiy backed down. He lowered his gun and went down to his knees. “Please, not my daughter. She did nothing to you. Please let her go! She is just a kid.”Renata grabbed a chuck of his hair and yanked it hard, making him look at her. She lowered her face to look directly into his eyes and snapped,
Renata had to work fast. Even though she knew the abductees were safe in her place she didn’t want to give Tikhon a chance to rescue them. Well, no one knew where she was except her team and now Michelangelo. His plan was on point. On the day of the coronation, he would smuggle everyone inside the hall and then they could attack Tikhon as the security around him would be minimal. All eyes would be on Michelangelo that day, but Renata’s eyes would be on Tikhon. She knew her mother would be there, and he might use her. But Tikhon loved Aurora the most in his life, maybe he might not put her in harm’s way. The only person she was concerned about was, Yekaterina, her half-sister. She sent her people to keep an eye on her, but Yekaterina was surrounded by Tikhon’s people. It would be difficult to get her out. Her people had scheduled the meeting with Octavius, Zhaohui and Vikentiy. The meeting was fixed in a public place. A big table was reserved at a famous restaurant, and everyone was s
