She shut the door tightly and pushed it with all her weight as if someone was going to barge in."He'll come back. He'll definitely come back to finish what he started." She kept making a mental note in an attempt to get herself ready for whatever was coming.She ran back to the bathroom, took off her towel and began to take an actual shower with the cold, freezing water. Gabby scrubbed her body like there was stubborn dirt stuck on it that had been there for years. She felt very dirty after Leone touched her and with tears in her eyes, all she could do was scrub herself until she sustained a bruise on her left arm. The left arm that Leone had tightly grabbed when he pushed her on the bed. She rinsed herself clean with the cold water which left goosebumps on her skin as she was freezing. Her body was cold but her mind wasn't even focused on that. She wanted to escape, she wanted to make Leone suffer, she wanted revenge, she wanted to die, she wanted to go back to her former way of li
"What do you mean?""Come on. This way." She walked ahead of her until she got to a room with closed but not locked doors."What's in there? I hope it's not a trap to kill me or something?""I liked you before I even met you. I would never plan to kill you. Go inside and see for yourself. I'll be right here in case you need anything." The maid said.Gabby, still skeptical about how awkwardly friendly the maid was insisted that she come inside with her."Okay ma'am. If you say so." The maid said and pushed the doors open to let Gabby in.As soon as she stepped inside, cold air from an air conditioning welcomed her already cold skin. She shivered and rubbed along her arms with her palms while blowing air out of her lungs."I'm sorry. I'll turn that off." The maid said, noticing she was cold."Thank you." Gabby replied and took a look around.There were balloons hanging from the ceiling.Balloons that spelt,"Welcome Gabriella."Was she the one?The room was huge and so was the bed. Her f
"Are they the ones?""Yes.""Alright. Call my accountant and inform him that we'll be sending something to each of their families.""Sure. But what next, Leone?" Alfred asked, crossing over one of the corpses."Rossi is biting more than he can chew and I'm not even joking." Leone said, folding his fists.Four of Leone's watchmen were shot the previous night at one his warehouses by Rossi's goons.It was a gory sight."What do we do, Leone? These men today, more tomorrow.""We strike back. I don't like talk. I like action." Leone said, looking over the corpses once again."What do we do?" Alfred asked."Put Rossi on a call." Leone ordered cracking his knuckles."Sure." Alfred said, taking out his phone and tapping on the screen for a while."Put it on speaker." Leone said and almost immediately, Rossi spoke up,"Hello, my dear. Did you like my gift? You weren't forewarned, eh? Get it? Fourwarned? Cause I killed four of your men.""You need help." Alfred spat in disgust."Help me then."
*GABBY'S POV*As soon as he stormed out of the kitchen after molesting me for the second time in one day, I couldn't help but run off to the room Marcella showed me.I slammed the door hard and made good use of the lock. It was my room like Marcella said, right?I shut out all the noise, all the anger, all the hate I felt for this man.For some reason, I felt a very strong urge to take someone's life. If not his, then mine.He was the one hitting on a maid in front of his sham of a wife and yet, I was the one who paid for his own mistake. I was sitting on the floor and crying when I heard some chattering outside. It was the voices of the maids who worked for us. I quickly stood up and walked across the room to one of the windows closest to the door so I could see their faces clearly.They were standing just outside my room, gossiping about me without even realizing that I was inside and able to hear every single word they said."I heard he almost raped her." One voice said."Almost?
*AUTHOR'S POV*The next morning wasn't so pleasant for Gabby as she was woken up with the annoying sound of large bells just outside her window.She pulled the remaining part of the duvet that was still on her body and dragged her feet to her window to see if there was any event going on.She had quite a struggle pulling the heavy drapes apart but it wasn't futile.During the tour with Marcella, she didn't notice that the window adjacent to her bed enabled hee to have an overview of the field of the house she was living in.The grass was greener than she had ever seen, there was a beautiful water fountain with the water as clear as day. A little child would have hoped it was a chocolate fountain. Just by the side of the fountain, she saw a servant mowing the lawn and to his right, she finally saw it!The large annoying bell that disturbed her beauty sleep.Who let it go off? Could it be?Of course, it had to be.He was standing by the bell with a sinister look, wide eyed staring at
Gabby felt heavy while walking downstairs.She had showered for as long as she possibly could, combed her hair and applied lotion. Now, she was slowly finding her way to the dining with a purple jumpsuit with flowery designs on it.She had no appetite but she didn't dare to make Leone even more angry.He was worse than a vicious Alpha in most werewolf stories she had come across.Ashlyn sat across Leone, slyly using her foot and toes to draw circles around his thighs seductively.Old habits die hard."Hello wife, you kept us waiting." Leone said when he saw her coming.Ashlyn looked in her direction and frowned before turning away, probably disappointed that Leone did nothing about her advances towards him."I was in the shower.""Well, next time..." Leone began but stopped as he walked towards her."Remember that I don't like to be kept waiting." He finished with their noses touching."Y.. yes." Gabby stuttered, their closeness intimidating her."Come and eat then." Leone invited as h
*GABBY'S POV*There was no superior feeling I have ever felt in my life compared to when I put Ashlyn down. "Miss Presley?" I heard someone call out from outside my room.It was obviously Leone. "I'm not apologizing to her." I yelled back.He wasn't going to have his way, not this time."Come out. I need to talk to you." He commanded."I can hear you very well from here. Thank you very much.""You know Miss Presley. My mum told me how I stabbed a man because he wore a joker outfit and was trying to be funny but he was actually scaring me." He said.It sounded like he was warning me. Or was it a threat? Was he saying he'll kill me?It was hard for me to understand this man I live with.I was happy few minutes ago that I put Ashlyn down and this man had to ruin the little celebration I had going on in my head.I quickly got off the bed, wore my flip-flops and hurried towards the door to open it.I saw him standing at the door with his right arm tucked in his pocket, his left arm restin
"Really?" She asked excitedly."Yes. I love to see two people in love so I'll help you but you'll have to help me too in return." I said."Anything for you and to get laid."I smiled at this maid's bluntness and I missed Josey."I'm hungry and I want to eat so you'll get me something.""Sorry ma'am. There's nothing for now. They'll be working towards lunch soon.""What about the macaroni?""Sir Jay doesn't like to eat leftovers. He prefers freshly prepared food. So we eat the leftovers or give them to the guards or to the dogs."Oh so that's why Ashlyn was mad at me for refusing the food. She didn't want the maids to have the leftovers. Sticking with my last option, I had to order food. I couldn't stay hungry till lunch time."I'll order food but I'll still need your help.""Okay, what do I need to do?" "So here's the deal. I'll ask your boyfriend to go stand by the door and receive the food I'll order, when he brings it to my room, you'll be here so I'll leave the room for both of yo
