Marco knew that this was bound to happen. Here he was, kneeling down with his head bowed down in fear of his own life in front of Salvatore Castillio, Donovan’s grandfather.He should have known that the old man won't allow what happened a few moments to skip pass him, without trying to know what the hassle is all about. He shouldn’t be the one to explain to the Big Boss, that his grandson was harboring an enemy’s sister/nephew in his house.Salvatore Castillo is smart unlike his son, Angelo, who seemed to be so will drawn in whatever that had to do with Ares lately. Maybe it has to do with the fact that his wife Nora is pregnant, again.He looked up to see that the old man was still on his phone. He had been on call with the president of the United States of America for an hour straight. Leaving him here with his thoughts and option to lie to him and give Donovan the chance to tell him everything.But he will rather get on Donovan’s bad side that to actually incur the wrath of Salvat
Preview on ‘The Billionaire’s Dark Entrapment’ Manhattan, New York City. 10:pm. In the late night of midsummer, through the dark woods that surrounded the area. A petite young lady hurried through the dark, perilous woods, tears streaming down her face. With a terrified expression marked by bruises and cuts, blood oozing from a wound at the side of her face, she glanced down at her torn, thorn-adorned clothes. She seemed indifferent to her disheveled appearance, as if she was running away from a wild animal. One wouldn't think twice without figuring out that it's unusual for one to be found mountain hiking so late at night, especially in these dangerous woods. In haste to get to the road, to get help from whoever it was or whatever that was chasing after her. She froze down at the sound of a gunshot, stifling a whimper of fear with her hands. "Don't be foolish, Valerie. You know the rules. I won't hurt you if you cooperate and be a good girl, but perhaps you enjoy punishments
After a strenuous day at work, Valerie Blackfield opened the door to her scrappy-looking apartment that could barely fit two adults in, to see her twin sister, going through her things hastily.That was when her eyes scanned all over the room, to see that it was turned upside down. Her clothes littered everywhere, books? Everything was disarranged from its normal arrangement, as if a burglar came into her home, but this was no burglar's fault. It was Vanessa's."Vanessa!" She called, a smile rested upon her face seeing her older sister who was there. Despite the fact that she didn't know why her room was in this way, she had missed her twin sister who had barely been able to keep in contact with her these past months.As orphans abandoned to carter for themselves since they were fifteen. Valerie had grown used to her sister, they did everything together until life happened and Vanessa had to choose her path to follow, which was working for some organization that she had no idea about
The loud beeping of the heart monitor in the room was what made the enraged young man, standing at the foot of the bed, stare at his coma-induced stepbrother to believe that he was still alive.Donovan Castillo.Standing tall at 6ft 9, a billionaire tycoon at the young age of twenty-seven. He was able to achieve greater heights in business all around the world than men his age couldn't do at the age of twenty, when he took over the family business till now.He's the son of the famous business tycoon, Angelo Castillo. A fifth generational tycoon, whose wealth spread across all over the world. But after Donovan took over the business, the business took on much more advancement and earned him more respect and acknowledgment across the globe.At first, there were rumors that the Castillo family were involved in the underground mafia business, so that could explain the massive wealth they had. Also, their relationship with a few other mafia gangs arose the said rumors. But no one was bold
"Valerie!"The young lady zoned back to reality from where she stood behind the counter, to stare at the angry face of her manager pointing accusing fingers at her."What's wrong with you today? Everyone has been complaining about you working like a snail, and it's bad for my business. I shouldn't have employed you in the first place, you youngsters are so lazy!" Jonathan threw words at her as if she was his wife, who was no different from him. The odd couple are in a toxic marriage, and it's not a secret to everyone in the restaurant that he's the cause of it.Not only was he accusing her of making business unsteady and slow today, the stench of his teeth made her shift back so as not to feel his spit on her face. He always spits whenever he talks. Just staring at him throwing insults at her made Valerie realize just how unlucky and pathetic her life was.The image of seeing that gun in the bag of her twin sister still lived rent-free in her head. She was worried because she didn't
"Miss.Blackfield, I think it's time to consider the fact that Chad needs to withdraw from school. His condition is getting much worse. Today he hit his classmate with a rock when he was just trying to be friendly. It's so annoying that we have to put up with convincing the parents not to press charges, but the school board of directors are looking into the matter, but for the time being. He should be at home."Valerie sat beside a sleeping Chad in the hospital ward, while going over his teacher's words. Chad was autistic and the impact of that was nothing to write home about in the school and everyone around him, because he was an oversensitive child.But Valerie knew that the teacher talking about Chad being violent wasn't his fault. His classmate must have tipped him off, he doesn't get violent that easily. Chad could never hurt a fly to talk more of hitting his classmate.She didn't think twice about the teacher's words anymore, because it wasn't just at school. The world was a mes
The following morning, Valerie had woken up and prepared Chadrick's favorite meal, which was scrambled eggs, oatmeal and milk for breakfast. She was still conflicted about the way she was going to tell him that he wouldn't be going to school in the meantime.Whereas, her mind was playing every scenario of how she was going to fully concentrate on work, and trying to keep up with checking up on Chad at their neighbor's place.Mrs Gemma was a sweet lady that didn't treat Chad like the others do, which was why Chad had no problem staying there, since it was just her, and her husband, who treated Chad like his son too. He has been a loving fatherly figure in Chad's life for years. It's sad how unfortunate good things rarely happen to good people.The couple didn't have children of their own, and neither were they planning on adopting. She prayed that a miracle would happen to Mrs. Gemma soon, because she truly is a sweet soul."Breakfast's ready, Chad!" She yelled from the kitchen, for C
"That will be all for your schedule today, Mr. Castillo?" Donovan heard his secretary, Destiny say, as he was done checking his phone while waiting for the doctor's medical report on Ares' today. The doctor and nurse that were in charge of him, would always send over a message if he didn't come over to see Ares every morning.But there was no message on his phone, other than that of Candy's stupid, unapologetic ass, demanding that he introduce her to his family and make their relationship official. He was annoyed. The only reason why she's still alive and breathing was that she gives a good head, and out of all the women that he had ever been entangled with, she's the one who knew and understood her place.But now she's tripping, which made him know that it's time he did something about her ass.He looked up to see his secretary's eyes fixed on him, one that he wasn't blind to see what she wanted from him. Women and their unending greed for money and fame. It hasn't been a month sin
