“Jolene, honey. Are you okay?” Mrs. Harris asked her daughter who had been picking at her food, since they were having breakfast. She had barely eaten anything and all she did was to stare at her phone.“Yes, mom. I’m fine.” Jolene said with a smile to keep her mother off her neck. She understands that her mother was trying to look out for her, but she could be annoying sometimes.Jolene was frustrated. She hasn’t seen nor heard from Marco since last night after they argued. He didn't come back to the room and had had his chauffeur drop her off this early morning instead, which ruined her chance of asking him further about Valerie and Chad.The most frustrating part of all this, is that she couldn’t get to him through the number that he has always called her with. From the very first day that he texted her with it, she’s been unable to call him without the line saying that the number doesn’t exist. Yet, he calls her with it.It was obvious that he had something to do with it, of cour
For the rest of the day Valerie wasn’t herself, she was more of a lifeless human as she helped around to clean the house. She couldn’t forget, no matter how much she tried, her mind would always go back to what happened in Donovan’s room in the morning.What pissed her off the most, was how her body reacted when he sweet talked her into doing what he wanted. She’s slowly losing her mind been here, and if it continues this way she’s going to end up being broken, physically, mentally and psychologically.Yet the young lady didn't want to give herself the false hope that help was coming. The plan about coaxing up to Donovan and playing his games with him just to earn his trust, died the moment he treated her like a worthless human.He treated her like she was some hoe that he picked up from the street, which helped prove to her that if she was to find her way out of here with the plan she initially had in mind, she has to be ready to sacrifice some few factors.She cannot lie or act to s
He fucked up.Donovan knew that.From the very moment he kept her alive and didn’t put a bullet in between that stunning eyes of hers, to taking her out of the dungeon. As well as to give her and her nephew a home, things got complicated.It went out of his control when he had her working as a maid, wearing the same costume as the others. Yet, in his twenty seven years of his life, he didn't know that he could ever find a maid sexy. Especially, that being the sister of the woman he wants to gun down.His father didn’t raise him up to be soft, nor did he raise him up with the fatherly care for him to actually have human empathy and normal human feelings. No, he wasn’t raised that way. The only thing that mattered was his business and his family.He only lived for the lifestyle that he swore into, women and feelings weren’t his thing. In his world, it is kill or he killed. It was more of a survival of the fittest and he has remained at the top of the food chain for a long time, and that
“Fuck!” A groan left Marco’s lips when he attempted to get the wine bottle but he strained his injured arm, which made the pain worse for him, the wine fell from his hands as its liquid stained the floor.He layed back on his bed, his back against the wall as he closed his eyes while heaving heavily to take in the pain in his arm. He didn't know that Donovan would go ahead to break his promise, a woman was coming in between them and he allowed her to do that.Not just any woman, an enemy’s sister. Marcoknew that his mistake was challenging him right in front of everyone but it needed to be done. He’s going soft ever since Valerie, that bitch came along.If his anger towards her was a fifty percent ratio, it heightened after what happened yesterday morning. He will be the one to kill Valerie, he knew that and this time not even his little fascination for her best friend, will be able to change his mind about doing that.He heard his room door open but he didn't open his eyes, since h
“Anything else you have got for me, Max?” Paul, an officer from the violent crime division in the New York city police department asked his junior colleague. After what has transpired here the last time his friend Scott Harris asked of him, that has the entire police database corrupted. It had him in an odd position after his boss, learned that he gave out information that is being handled by their task force to another department, that being a sheriff of a shabby town.It felt suspicious that every crime that was being handed over to them, resolved around Scott and his family. Especially that about his daughter, being stalked by the criminal that he was behind the attack at his station.Paul did put in a good word for Scott at the office after countless pleading for him to transfer to the city. Scott didn't actually care about the fact that the transfer might be rejected, but Paul has offered his boss significant information that might help fasten his transfer to the city, so, it
“What?”Marco stared at his father not believing his words, not only did he make it known to him that his mother was killed by Angelo Castillo. There was a whole lot of information that had been withheld from him that his father was spilling, but it was too late to let him know about that now.The information about him being blood related with Donovan. Their mothers were sisters and not only did Donovan’s father kill his mother. He attempted to kill Donovan’s mother but had failed to do that, ofcourse, Donovan has no idea about all of these.Yet the hate that surged through him, to learn that Donovan shared blood ties with the bastard that did this to his mother, had his initiative about Donovan not being an enemy changed instantly.Marco knew where his father was going with this. This was the point where he changed his loyalty towards Donovan, and used it against him to pay his father, and grandfather for killing his own grandfather.The Castillo family’s money was all blood money, b
Donovan was avoiding her, that Valerie could tell. Ever since what happened the last two days she hasn’t seen him, nor did she get the chance to tell him about changing her work routine and let her work in the maid quarters. He’s not in his room anytime she goes there to clean it, and he has been skipping breakfast which she didn't mind. As long as this was going to be her new routine, she won’t mind if he decides not to come back to the house anymore. So, not only was she relieved in these past days that she hasn’t seen him, her mind has been calm about what has happened. Although, there’s been no information about Marco, since he too hasn’t been coming to the house. It still bothered her because she wanted to know if he was okay. What if he’s dead? That has been the question on her mind since two days ago. Things have been quiet for her. Yet, there didn't seem to be any unusual movement or any latest gossip from the maids about what happened. Although, she couldn’t know if anyth
Marco groaned slightly as he opened his eyes to connect with familiar gray walls, he’s back at his villa but he was sure that this wasn’t where he was before.He vividly remembered having his father over here, he had walked out on his old man because he couldn’t take what it was that he was offering to him. Then he met Jolene.At the mention of her name, Marco sat up from his bed instantly which made him whimper in pain because he stressed his wounded shoulder. The doctor has advised that he avoids any strenuous activities for the moment, just until his shoulder is fully healed but it couldn’t be helped that he barely remembers that he had a gunshot wound on his shoulder.He wondered how Jolene still remembered her way back here, since the last time she was here he barely gave her time to know where exactly he took her.Smart ass!Marco said, but he was surprised that Jolene didn’t take him to her father. Frankly speaking, this was the perfect time, no, this was an opportunity that sh
“What the fuck do you mean that he’s gone missing?!!” Donovan yelled over the phone, that it made a sleeping Valerie jump up in her sleep from how loud he was on the phone.When he saw her do that, he had to leave the room entirely since he didn't want her to hear about this conversation.Apparently, he has woken up to the call to hear that Marco was missing, after he has sent Rio to check up on him going after the reporter that he ordered him to bring to him.Upon hearing the words of one of his men who toned him all he needed to know at Marco’s disappearance. Annoyance wrapped around Donovan’s body, while he was already thinking hard of what and who could pull such nonsense and..“Boss.” Rio’s voice interrupted his thought as well as the phone call, he looked at him then at the figure that was standing at Rio's back that wasn’t looking good.Donovan cut the call before Rio came closer with Chase limping behind him, while getting scared at what the Boss’ reaction would be at him rela
Mature Content!Domestic violence!The breakfast started off fine, with Grandfather acting like he wasn’t the same person that had given him an ultimatum to choose between his mom and the love of his life. Angelo has given Donovan a signal from the very first time he has arrived with Anastasia, not to try to piss off the old man, since he was just looking for a reason to either kill his mom and Valerie .So, he tried his best to act as normal as possible, with his grandfather acting like the good father in law he was, by pushing the best past of the meal to Anastasia’s way.Donovan knows what he’s trying to do, but the old man has no idea that he had full control over his wife. He would be so disappointed to hear what Anastasia has to say, if he goes ahead to talk about Valerie.“So, have you made your decision yet?” Salvatore asked, looking at Donovan who looked at his father for an answer, but he himself didn't know what to say, since he wasn’t expecting his father to talk about th
Anastasia tried zipping up her gown, but she couldn’t reach towards the zipper. She has received word from one the guard that her presence was needed at her husband’s family house, for breakfast. With the talk of everyone being present there, she had made up her mind to as well use the opportunity to talk to her father in law, about how Donovan has been treating her all these while.A month and three days!That’s how long she has stayed here, locked up inside her room all day without any sight of her husband. After he had abandoned her on their wedding night for the girl he claims he’s in love with. He did much worse by taking away her phone, or any devices around the house she found use to reach out to anyone outside.To shut her up for good, but this opportunity was staring right at her face. She had her mind made up to expose Donovan’s ill treatment towards her.What sort of husband abandons his wife for months, on their wedding night, without checking up on her or their son, he h
Matured Content!!“You can leave now, it’s late.” Donovan said to Rio after coming down from the car. After he has successfully transferred to his new place days ago, he hasn’t been in constant contact with Marco, for which the reason was only made known to him.Irrespective of what Marco has done, he didn't want to give off the fact that they were having issues, afterall, Rio and Marco weren’t close like he’s with the three. Rio has always wanted Marco’s position and if Marco doesn’t sit up, and do his job, the position of his second in command could be Rios.“Before that sir..” Rio said, rubbing his hand nervously since he didn't know how he’s going to take the news he’s about to tell him.“What is it?” Donovan turned to face him. He has far more important things to do like cooking dinner for him and babygirl, but he’s been busy lately. So Rio and a new maid that he has assigned, were the ones that handle things over here when he’s away.He knew that he was wrong, so, he would have
Reporter Kim came down from his car, which he packed right outside the fake house that he was currently staying at. The reason for that being the fact that Vanessa, has suggested that after the tantrum he played by releasing that video to the police. It won’t take Donovan’s men much before they track him down. Although, there’s a chance that it would take days, but the chance of it happening had the both of them separate ways. Moreover, Vanessa has this plan, it was a risky one but he couldn’t help but do it for the greater benefit. Vanessa wants him to be kidnapped by Donovan, that way she would be to finally see Donovan and track him down. His locations has been unstable these days, she couldn’t exactly pin his exact location, and she knew the reason for that. After Donovan has betrayed and shot her at her thigh, it was as if something snapped inside her. She hasn’t been able to do anything without it having to do with finding Donovan. Moreover, she was scared. That he figured,
Five days later. Jolene woke up from the bed and ran to puke her guts out in the bathroom, she was not feeling fine ever since yesterday. She’s been having headaches, back pain and tiredness that she couldn’t explain the reason why she was suddenly sick. At first, she has blamed it on her sleepless nights where she has to cry herself to sleep, because she’s been dumped by Marco. After using her and taking her virtue, he down flatly treated her like they didn’t have anything serious going on between them. She couldn’t blame him entirely. Afterall, she never really got back the news that he’s okay after he was dragged away by his boss’ men. She was worried about him for the past few days until her calls couldn’t go through anymore, he had her message left unread without any reply so yes! He’s avoiding her. The young lady could still remember his reaction to her telling him the good news about her father being alive. It was at this point that it felt like the hex that had covere
Marco opened the door and once he saw his father standing outside, a big frown covered his face when he actually saw that it was his father that was knocking all along. Well, it obviously can’t be Jolene, because he had checked out of the hotel that she knew he was staying y at.So, there's no way she can actually get to him, if he’s not the one that makes it possible for her to see him. He was still not over his heartbreak, yet, he also had been lost in thought over the offer Donovan’s mother was offering.She wants Valerie, and with what has gone down in the past few hours that the police arrested Donovan for kidnapping Valerie, there’s no way he will be too stupid to not put more security around her this time around.Donovan might have successfully bribe the police over that video, but he wasn’t stupid enough to let his guard down around her. So, it was going to be much more difficult to get Valerie out this time around.“Don’t tell me that you are still angry, son? Come on, we hav
The next morning, Donovan woke up only to discover that Valerie wasn’t in bed with him. This was the first time that he has slept so late. He has always been a morning person, that sometimes he would wake up by four in the morning and watch her sleep.He sprang up from the bed with force, when he saw that she had ripped the iv that she has been taking since last night. This time, he was scared of what she might have done with him sleeping like a log of wood without actually knowing where she was.He was comforted with the fact that she didn't have the door pass or did she?He went to the nearest door looking for the card, he relaxed when he found it. That confirmed his suspicion about her leaving but he was still concerned about what she was doing right now.Ever since he made the mistake of killing that stylist in her face, yes! It was a mistake that he regrets because actually it wasn’t his intention to make her get scared of him. She’s supposed to love and feel comfortable around h
The moment Donovan entered inside the hotel room that Marco made him know was where his babygirl, Valerie was staying. He heard voices from inside coupled with the scent of antiseptics which made him rush in, fastly only to see Valerie lying on the bed, with a male doctor at her side, cleaning up the wound at her wrist.The moment Rio saw his boss, he tried to talk first and apologize for taking his eyes off Valerie for a minute, which made her opt to hurt herself after waking up to find herself in a different place, without him in sight.She has been panicking for the last twenty minutes and he has been calling him, but he wasn’t picking up.“Get your hands off her!” Donovan seethed in anger, which made the doctor pause his movement without complaining.“I’m sorry, boss.” Rio apologized.“What happened to her?” He asked him, moving along to sit at the edge of the bed to look at Valerie more closely.“I looked away for a second and then she was awake and started to panic when she didn
