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
Renata was scared to go to the party. The last time she was in a get-together, Michelangelo killed a man for touching her. What would he do tonight? The way he was looking at her she knew he would get angry at people for just looking at her. She didn’t want him to kill anyone else but what could she do? The car stopped and Severino first got out of the car. He gave the password to the security, and they entered in. The whole security community started buzzing with the news that Michelangelo was there. There had been only a few times he was at an auction. First at the nominations and second when he bought an odal. Otherwise, people have not seen him there. Michelangelo left the car and Renata’s door was opened by Severino. But he didn’t let her get out. He waited for Michelangelo to arrive and gave his hand to Renata to get out. She was shocked. Why was he being a gentleman? He was never gentle with her. He used to be rough with her no matter what the situation. Renata placed her han
A loud urgent knock alerted Renata. She stopped crying when she heard Severino’s voice, “Ren! Come out fast. We have to leave.”“What?” murmured Renata and wiped her tears. “We have to leave, why? And why now, why not before he humiliated me? Everyone watched him having sex with me. That is so mortifying.”“Renata! Come out, now!” pleaded Severino.She sniffled, washed her face, and opened the door for Severino.“I am sorry that happened to you. I never knew Michel was capable of doing such things,” Severino tried to calm her down.“Everyone will call me a whore, his bitch. I had sex with him before the whole arena,” sobbed Renata and threw herself at Severino. She wrapped her arms around him and kept crying.Severino too held her and caressed her head to calm her down. “I am sorry, all I can say is I am sorry. I want to help you, but he is my boss.”“I know, nothing is your fault. Everything is my fault. Why did I meet with him that day?” sobbed Renata.“Ren! Please come with me. We
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
