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 enough to back up the claim that Donovan is the head of the jade dragon mafia. With his duties as the first son of the family, his father has put him through ruthless training to prepare him not just for the family business, but for the inheritance as the capo of the Jade dragons. Hence, that could explain his cold personality, but the only person who had seen his soft side and knew him more was his stepbrother, Ares. The two Castillo brothers, though they weren't born to the same mother, as a result of their father's promiscuous lifestyle. Yet, the love and affection they had was stronger than the bond between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Donovan's mother, who was a regular stripper knocked up by his father, abandoned him at the cruel hands of his father, unlike Ares, whose mother is his father's wife, who despised the fact that Angelo had to accept him as the first son, regardless of his impure bloodline. The family crisis in the Castillo family was so alarming, that at first Donovan had to refrain from thinking about the fact that Ares’ mother, might have been the one who injured her son, and tried to pin the blame on him. But at the same time, Donovan knew that his father had a lot of enemies that had tried repeatedly to bring him down. But whereas, Ares wasn't interested in having anything to do with the Mafia lifestyle, one would say that he's weak, but nobody was brave enough to hurt him because of Donovan. Everyone was scared of bearing his wrath, but looking at Ares right now. Donovan was already imagining the numerous ways he would torture the stupid person, that was brave enough to do this to Ares. Rage! He saw red, with his fists tightly clenched together. Donovan had to start counting to calm himself down, from acting out, especially not with Ares here. A remedy his doctor has taught him when he feels like his control is slipping. A knock on the door brought him back to life, to see Marco, his second in command, walk up to him holding an iPad for him to watch the video playing. "Boss, you need to see this,"Marco said, before pressing on the video. It was the CCTV footage of the arena where Ares had an accident, but before Marco showed him that. He played another video where they saw Ares and a woman come out of his restaurant. Ares with a woman? Donovan's brow was raised in interest. He has never seen Ares with the same woman, especially the part where she's coming out of the restaurant with him. He didn't need anyone to tell him that it was a date. His brother was never someone that would hide things from him, but for the fact that he did that, he sure has his own reason. But him being secretive right now was the problem why he's lying in a vegetative state. "Who is she?" Donovan asked with authority. Had it not been for Marco, his assistant was the longest to have worked with him. Any normal person will have a heart attack just looking at him. He doesn't smile. He looks like a grim reaper. Though, a handsome grim reaper that has girls flocking around him. "My men are still working on that, but judging from the videos combined here. I think that Ares is in a relationship with her." Marco said, looking at Donovan, who scoffed at his words. It was too good to be true. The Castillo brothers don't love. Especially Donovan, although Ares was the party mogul and loud type. It was really stupid and unbelievable to say that he suddenly fell in love. "And you didn't tell me about it?" Donovan snapped at him. "I'm sorry, Don." Marco apologized with his head bowed. " I had no idea, from my guess, he kept this a secret from everyone, including you too. So, he was careful enough not to let me or my men get the hang of what was happening." Donovan raked his hand through his hair frustratingly. Before yanking Marco close to him by his collar with his eyes staring hard at him, without any feelings showing there. "I don't care to know who she is or whatever it is that they had ongoing. Bring her to me, Marco. Alive!" He ordered, before pushing him away, while Marco didn't question his authority. He knew that he was serious, especially when it had something to do with his brother. He doesn't joke about it, only God will save that young lady if she doesn't give an accountable explanation about what happened to Ares, when she's here. "What are we going to do about the madam?" Marco said, referring to Ares' mother. "She's been demanding to know where you took him." Ares' mother, Nora, had been making a scene about seeing her son, but there was nothing that could be helped about the situation when nobody knew where Donovan took Ares, except him. Including, the big boss doesn't have the right to question Donovan, when he has made up his mind. The only reason why Nora was still breathing is because of Ares and their younger sister. "Let her grieve in peace, nobody gets to know about this place, is that understood?" Donovan told him, before taking one last look at Ares before leaving the room. He had the best doctors and nurses that were taking care of him, though all of them signed an NDA with him. So, he wasn't bothered about any of them snitching on him to his father or his stepmother. All he was worried about was this mysterious lover Ares didn't tell him about. He was almost out of his car, when he received a message from Candy, his personal escort. Fuck! He needed a release and knew the perfect person to help him, ease the anger off him."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
"You should have taken me straight home, Donovan. What were you thinking?" Angelo yelled at Donovan for taking him to a hospital, when he should have done what was necessary by taking him home. But rather, he was stuck here at an expensive private hospital, without any idea of what was going on outside.Thankfully, the bullet wound didn't rupture any vital organs or arteries, seeing as he still had the mouth to shout at Donovan, who ignored him and was on call to settle the media team that was going frenzy with the attack at the company.Angelo sat up on the bed, not caring that the stitch might open up. It was going to take more than just a gunshot to bring him down. "What are you doing?" Donovan questioned his father, when he saw him going for his clothes. "What does it look like I'm doing?" Angelo sassed back at his son, before putting on his jacket while Donovan sighed at his action. Clearly, he could see that it hurt his father's reputation, for being publicly embarrassed both
Thankfully, Jonathan wasn't in a bad mood today, seeing as Valerie was granted an early leave today just so that she could talk with the town's sheriff, Jolene's father. It was late in the evening when she stopped at the station. With a knock at the door of the sheriff's office, Valerie met with the face of Scott Harris, her fatherly figure. "Valerie darling, how have you been?" Scott sat up to receive Valerie with a hug, it's been a while since she came to the family house, now that she's here seeing him, she. She had been feeling bad for ghosting him and his wife, Aurora, for months. "I'm good, Mr.Harris. It's been a while." Valerie said shyly. "Yeah, thanks to you forgetting about us, but I'm good. Aurora has been asking about you for a while, you know how she is."Scott said while pulling out a seat for her. "How's Chad, by the way?" Valerie watched him sit down, "Chad is doing fine." She kept it simple, she didn't want people to take pity on her. It was depressing, that anyone
"She should be awake by now.""The boss? He should have been back by now?"B..boss?"It doesn't matter, I will set up the pace for what's about to happen, wake the girl up!"Voices?Valerie heard voices, one that didn't seem familiar as she groaned tiredly, her eyes felt heavy and the light that was flashed right at her face, made it impossible for her to fully open her eyes.Her body felt like a train ran over her. Her hands? She couldn't feel her hands, neither did she feel her feet too. She didn't understand what was going on, until she heard the voice more loudly and close to where she was."She's awake, Sir."Sir?Her face ceased in confusion, who is sir?It was at that moment, as she struggled to open her eyes and to raise her heavy hands up, did the event of what happened in her house flashed across her face, and her eyes snapped open to land on the red angry ones that belonged to an unfamiliar face."W..where am I?" She asked, scared of her life, as the man in front of her let
Valerie was paralyzed for some seconds. She had expected some disgusting old looking man to be the head of such a vile association that trafficked girls, and forced them into prostitution. But no! She was dead wrong. Standing in front of her with his hand in the pocket of his pants, was a man, a gorgeous man. He was tall, almost 6 ft 9 by the looks of it. He appeared much older than the innocent looking young lady, who couldn't look away from him. His sophisticated, dark exterior, made him appear superior to every other ordinary person. Jolene found Marco cute, but this man here, clearly God took his time creating him. She was jealous, so jealous of his thick eyebrows and long lashes, was it even possible that he had all that when he was not a female? His dark, tousled hair hung down his shoulders, it was such a contrast to his icy blue eyes. Hence, he looked more of a supermodel, than actually a thug It was really hard for her to believe that he was part of something so… sinful.
Mature content!“Do you trust me?” Marco asked, looking deep into her eyes, trapping her within the prison of lust and want, that it was too difficult for her to have any second thoughts about what she wants from him tonight.Trust?That was a big word for Jolene. She was scared, she has never done this before. She could still remember back in highschool, where girls freely talk about their sexual life as if it was something to be done with just anyone.She and Valerie were looked down upon, and were called prudes just because they had believed that the man to take their virginity would be the one they loved.In a world where being chaste as a lady wasn’t something to be proud of, the both of them were the only ones who still bashed in their belief that their first time, would be with someone they trust and cherish.She could still remember that her first crush and first relationship ended, because she wasn’t ready to go deep into this part, someone who she figured out had only dated
Mature Content!Jolene came out of the bathroom to see that Marco wasn’t in the room, she did her night routine and wondered if he had left without saying goodbye. Maybe this night was one of those nights that he gets called into work so late at night.Jolene sighed.The young lady had gained peace in the fact that Valerie’s situation couldn't be helped anymore. Not after Marco had given her a rundown of what happened, and why she was taken.Just like she had thought, it has something to do with Vanesssa. If her father wakes up today and still decides to work on Valerie’s case, Jolene knows that she can’t help him any longer in giving him tips from what Marco told her.Why?The thought of losing Marco once things go astray. She has lost a friend, so she won’t lose him too. He had become such an important part of her life, which she knew that would hurt her physically and mentally if anything happens to Marco too.Jolene knew that what she was doing was totally uncalled for, afterall,
“I’m sorry but this is nothing but a swift stimulus, we can’t just hope on what happened to prove that the patient is awake.” Doctor Sam explained, only to receive a death glare from Jolene.What sort of bullshit is he on?“He moved his hands when i asked him to, I’m not lying, doctor. He moved his hands.” Jolene said again, since it was obvious that he didn't hear her the first time that she told him the reason why she called for him.“Which i don’t doubt you, Miss. But let’s look at the bigger picture here, we will run more tests and after that, we will know for sure how far along he is. But let’s not get our hopes high, just like i said, it’s nothing but a stimulus reaction.”The doctor said lastly and with that left the room with the nurse following behind him, while Jolene stood aside to look at his retreating figure.Was this some kind of joke?He’s the doctor here, but he’s acting like he just didn't want her father to recover or something. She didn't like him from the very st
“Yes mother, I’m at the hospital.” Jolene said, holding the phone to her ear inorder to press the floor she was to go into the elevator.After a long day at work, the young lady had decided to visit her father, who apparently was in a coma. Sadly, the incident had incurred some damage to his brain as a result of the hit that he took, before he was shot.Not only did the detective have surgery to remove the bullet, which luckily didn’t hit a vital organ. He had to undergo an urgent brain surgery which cost a lot, which was what Jolene was trying to pay off the hospital bills.She couldn't bear to see her mother stress herself up for that, the woman was already losing her mind from seeing her husband, without talking to him , or him being responsive.All the doctor did was to give them the hope that it was up to her father to wake up, so, that’s what everyone was praying for, a miracle.In these past two weeks, Jolene has taken it upon herself to be there for both her father and mother.
After so many years.After so many long years of blaming himself for her death, Angelo couldn’t believe that she was right here, standing in front of him, alive.Hale and healthy!Long gone was the thought about killing her at first sight if they were to meet, besides, she wasn’t making it any easy for him being here with her, and acting like she wasn’t the one who had that murderous going in her eyes, the moment they shared gazed with each other in Donovan’s wedding ceremony.He said nothing when she hugged him, totally confusing him because he had expected her first reaction to be that of anger, for pulling the trigger on her. Which made him scared to reciprocate the hug, as he had no idea what was going through her mind. The only reason he was here was because he had to fix what was broken by her.So, he pulled her away from him which made Maria look up at him, into his eyes. He was resisting her?Was it because of his wife?Maria thought.This was the first time she had seen su
Alberto stormed his way over to where Maria was standing watching the busy night of New York, with her car parked at the side. The anger and animosity on his face, was called for as a result of Maria playing him over, and going against their initial plans. Her guards stopped him from approaching her, since they sensed danger emitting off him, but Maria waved at them to let him through, before turning over to face the busy city. Hence, she knew the reason why he’s here, and why he looked like he wanted to snap her head, but she could care less about him. He was just a means to an end, now he has served his purpose, the only reason he’s still alive is because she’s too heavy in keeping her promises, besides, he had never for once given her any reason to doubt that he’s an enemy. It’s such a shame that the family he had spent his whole life serving ruined his life, but that’s why they clicked instantly the moment they met each other, it was because they had something in common, the bot
She has something to say.That was why she was awake, yet, she couldn’t be brave about it, so all she did was to watch him dress up after taking a shower. He was getting ready to leave after spending the whole day with her. Although he had stepped out a little while after she fell asleep, he came back to still find her sleeping, and he didn't wake her up, which she was grateful for because she was so worn out after their sexual marathon.Now, all she did was to wait for him to leave like the obedient little doll he has made her out to be, so she can freely breathe without bothering about the fact that she might do something that might warrant a punishment.She wanted to talk to him about leaving the villa, it was getting suffocating to be inside the house all day. Without interacting with anyone apart from him, and her maid, and then the garden which was the only place that she took a liking to in his place.It doesn’t have to be somewhere far, she just wants to go to the park, to se
Mature Content!“Fuck! You feel so good around me.” Donovan grunted before dragging Valerie’s body close to him, as she was running away from his home. She couldn’t take this, it was all too much.He kissed his way along her neck, trailing light feathery kisses along her neck, making sure to place his mark on her. His mark of possession for anyone to know that she’s taken, he knew that she would detest the idea of him leaving any mark on her body, but there’s nothing that could be helped about it.She always runs away from him, but there’s no denying the fact that when they are both intimate with each other, it’s a perfect feeling that she too enjoys, no matter how badly she tries to deny it.“It’s too.. much, take some out please.” Valerie cried, pushing at his stomach for him to let out some, but all he did was to hold her the more, no thoughts of letting her go.“You can take it.” He growled, increasing his thrusts as the young girl cried out in bliss when she felt her third organs
Today has been such a long day for Donovan, which all he wanted to do was to rest his head. After what he encountered at his own wedding ceremony, he had a pounding headache that will be gone if he sleeps, but knowing that his long time insomnia won’t help him out, he only knew one thing that would help out.Valerie.He seems to sleep better when she’s around, so, without wasting any time he set his mind out to go see her, afterall, it’s been a long time since had last seen her. How long has it been?It’s been more than two weeks since he had last seen her, after locking her up in his villa.“Babe, are you okay?” Anastasia asked, breaking him out of his thoughts which made him remember that she was here with him, and she had witnessed his family drama too. It was really embarrassing because his father really outdid himself by what he did.Lying to him about his mother being dead, coming to think of it, he didn't have much to ask about what happened, but he would have preferred it if h
