Violet's POV After the hydrotherapy, we used the sauna to stretch our bodies, just the feeling I wanted, it was soothing.After that we went for an oily massage, the men assigned to us were hot as fuck, and they knew how to do their jobs well, they offered us wine after the massage.We did our facials and got our nails done. I decided to change the color of my hair to white, a sign of a new beginning for me.After everything we paid them and when we looked at ourselves in the mirror, we looked stunning as fuck, “Many heads will turn out the way with this look,” Brielle smirked.“Why aren't they turning yet?” I teased dramatically, and she smiled at me.We went home and hours later, we were dressing up for the club. I didn't have plans of getting hitched to anyone or getting drunk either, I just wanted to have my peace and dance away my sorrows.I was clad in a red long thin strap dress, that had a plunged neckline, revealing my cleavage, with matching black stilettos, shiny diamond ea
Vincenzo's POV“Repeat what you said,'' I said to Mr Wesley, swiveling in the executive chair I was offered and tapping my fingers on the table. He had invited me to meet with him. We were in a boardroom, and we all sat around a modern refined mahogany table.“Mr. Vincenzo,” he gulped hard, “I said the Misine Company was fake, all the companies they claimed to have affiliations with, I checked and discovered they were all forged, I have tried to reach them in every way possible but I couldn't,” Mr Wesley explained, quivering in his position I could see the heat forming on his forehead, and his was shaking while talking but he sounded like a joker to me.I snorted audibly followed by an evil chuckle, “Mr Wesley,” I intertwined my fingers and dropped it on the table, “You mean in all your years of working as a business plan consultant, you were unable to figure out a fake business proposal? Because there's a lot I'm yet to understand, I was with my father when he asked you questions abou
Vincenzo's POV “Boss, look at this girl her name is Violet Thomas Philip, I don't know why she's bearing her father's full name but that was what caught my attention, she deplaned 9 hours ago and my men alerted me, she's currently at Rostanios and I've been trying to do some diggings on her but I'm unable to do so because I have been denied access from the server, to be sure she's Thomas daughter we need deeper information about her so we can determine if she's his daughter or they just look alike because if you look closely at her passport she has a striking resemblance to Thomas,” Gio narrated to me briefly and somehow he was good at what he did.He turned the laptop to face me, Zooming in and out of the picture for me to see the resemblance between Thomas and the said lady, “We should get her first,” I said after seeing the resemblance in the photo.“Boss getting her isn't the problem yet,” Gio protested, “then what is,” I asked impatiently.“If we get her and at the end of the day
Violet's POVAs we entered the club, we noticed Men swivel their heads in our direction while Brielle and I exchanged knowing looks, everything about us screamed for attention, from our female Cologne which evoked the scent of flowers to our shiny diamond earrings to our hairstyles, simple but bougie, our dress were even out of the statements because they cost so much, but come to think of it, we just dressed up this much to be admired.It was a weird decision but I needed to convince myself that I didn't need John anymore.Here at the club, we had lots and lots of drinks, but I wasn't tipsy yet which was strange, we didn't want to have too many drinks but the few friends we made for the time we were here made us do that, they were cool guys one was with me and the other was with Brielle, but she quickly told him that she was engaged so he could find some else to be with for the night because from their behaviors we guessed they came out for a fling.The one with me was all nice and fr
Vincenzo's POVI poured a drink for myself from my mini bar. Melinda had gone to see her parents so I was alone, I didn't even want her to be around for now, because I lose my vigilance around her.I was getting prepared for the torture ahead, my phone was by my side as I waited for a particular call to come in, I couldn't imagine the torture I would give to my victims when I confirmed what I was waiting for.I sent my men to Thomas's apartment in Ohio to fetch me anybody they find in that house. Thomas will regret the day he was born.My phone rings by my side and I check if it is the men I sent to Ohio to get everyone in Thomas's house. I was expecting that before 8 a.m. they'll be back.I picked it up, “Boss,” Paulo's voice came through, he was panting loudly, “No one lives in this house, it's empty,” my smile instantly faltered, “what?!”“Boss, we have already made some recordings to show you, we have searched the whole house, no one lives here, it's like a house that has been aban
Violet's POV I woke up in the middle of the night and everywhere was dark. I noticed I was tied to the ceiling with a constrictor knot because it made it impossible for me to move an inch the way I was tied.I winced at the impact I felt whenever I tried to move my body, that was the worst position I had ever found myself in, I felt too perturbed to calm myself, my wrists were tied above my head, and my head was bent facing the floor, I couldn't imagine what the people who kidnapped me wanted with me, my hair covered my face in the dark room, I felt weak and powerless, my strengthen was dropping each second, I could see death face to face.My wrist hurt so bad that I could feel my bones breaking. I tried to hang on with all my strength for the sake of my father, my family, and for Brielle.I can't believe those men shot her for nothing, bunch of bastards, devils, they are so evil, with no human empathy, he didn't even feel remorseful after taking a life like his, even the police, bun
Violet's POV With the short footsteps of one of the men, my body was damp, and the floor was dusty and smelly, making it hard for me to breathe as the water came in contact with it, the dust choked me and I didn't know when I started coughing.I used my good hand to support myself in a sitting position, as I kept on coughing.Two men walked up to me and grabbed my upper arm and placed me on an iron chair with a wooden seat.I used my good hand to take my hair off my face, I heard a click of fingers, and the next thing a bright light shone in my position almost blinding my eyes and I used both hands to protect my eyes from getting blind.In a few minutes, my eyes adjusted to the light and I was able to open my eyes, but I couldn't see anyone's faces clearly.No one said a word to me, for reasons I couldn't understand, and I knew they were looking at me, I was not some circus show doll or something because nothing here was funny.“Why am I here?” I mustered courage to ask but it was fol
Violet's POV “He was a trusted man in this la famiglia, And he allied with the enemy to kill my father,” I couldn't believe my ears, my jaw dropped, and my eyes shone in bewilderment, could it be that this was what my father did all the while he said he was doing business in New York? I squinted repeatedly in disbelief, whenever I asked my dad to take me to his workplace he always postponed it, could it be true? My mother would not believe this crap because my father was loving and caring to her, “I want to believe you didn't know what your father was into, he was really good at covering his tracks, but it's so shocking that your father worked here for 20 years and you didn't even know what he did for a living, it's too late now, just give me the address of your house and your father's location,” his voice was calm but laced with sarcasm.No, I was not going to give away my family like that, they'll have to go through me.“Fuck you! Fuck you and your claim, I cannot believe you, my fa
Vincenzo's POV “Why do you ask that?” I stop in my tracks, going back to her; I take a seat beside her. “Because I want to be sure you're doing things because you want it, not because you want to please me,” she said, I see tears run down her cheeks. I instinctively used my thumb to wipe them off, “Hey don't say that, I'm pleasing you, yes, but I want this, why wait longer? Why wait for another year? I want to make you mine. I hope you're happy with that. You said you wanted a future with me in it, have you changed your mind now?” I hold up her chin so I can see her face. “No, I still want a future with you, I just get scared sometimes you know,” she gives me a weak smile. I open my arms and embrace her, she still sobs silently, her shoulders shaking beneath my hold. “You don't have to worry about anything, I got you, nothing will happen to you, okay, I'll always protect you,” I assure her, stroking her hair that's balanced under my chin softly. Whenever I assure her that I'll
Vincenzo's POV Violet tugged the hem of my shirt slightly to get my attention and I tilted to look at her. “What is it?” I asked, creasing my brow as I noticed the faint discomfort on her face, the last time I checked she was clapping at the performance of one of the guest artists. “I want to use the restroom,” She says, leaning close to my ear. I used my hands to give the guard behind me a sign to lean forward, he understood the sign and leaned close. “Take her to the convenience,” I say to him with a fixed voice, he nodded and escorted Violet and they followed a close exit. Once Violet and the guards were out of sight I took my gaze back to the lady speaking on stage “So we just have a few things on our list….” She says scanning through the small long card she is holding, she looks back up, “And we will come to a close for today's meeting,” she says looking with a beam. The words she says catches my attention for a moment but after a few minutes they started sounding like dis
Chapter 129Violet's POV My left fingers intertwined in Vincenzo's hands as we drove to the event place, Vincenzo had kissed the back of my hand one million times.He does it absentmindedly because his eyes are on the road, my eyes are fixed on him but his eyes are focused somewhere else, looking out the window like he is thinking of something, I wonder what he might be thinking of, I guess it has to do with me because he subconsciously kisses my hand like I'm going to run away.After watching him for a while I decided to break the eerie silence.“Vincenzo,” I called him and he shook slightly, I think I guessed right, he quivered like he was pulled back from a train of intense thoughts. If I'm not mistaken I see an obvious sign of worry in his expression, maybe something else but that's what I think.“Yes….” He muttered in a low and almost inaudible voice, looking into my eyes with his baby gray eyes, for a moment I locked my gaze on him, and I reached to touch his chin, my blue eyes
Violet's POV “Hello, my Dear,” the perky lady rises from her seat, immediately she sets her eyes on me, and opens her arms to hug me.I'm quite taken aback by her strange humor but I manage to hide my discomfort as she engulfs me in a warm hug.“Oh my goodness, YOU. ARE. SO. BEAUTIFUL.” she says with a hint of admiration after disengaging from the hug, her eyes checking me out from head to toe as she holds my upper arm with both hands.Her aura is friendly and welcoming but I can't bring myself to just trust or like her because she's friendly. I guess I've developed trust issues for strangers after the incident with the detective.The lady is like two inches taller than me, she has doll-like green eyes, her round smooth face with faint freckles looks like she goes to the spa every weekend, she is a red-hair blonde, her hair is well trimmed on the edges and they drop equally above her shoulders, she has tan skin, moderate double D’s like me likewise her hips, her short pants gives me a
Violet's POV I stared at my phone screen helplessly as I lay on my bed. I couldn't help the feeling of being ignored by Vincenzo, I don't even know if that's the right word to use. Why isn't he taking my calls? This is the tenth time in a row in the last 5 minutes that I called him and he hasn't picked up one call. I know he wouldn't ignore me on purpose but I'm just worried when he doesn't take my calls, is it normal? Or am I worrying too much? I can't help the sense of abandonment that simmers into my mind when I don't get to speak to him when I want to, Maybe that's how I'm wired.I exhale deeply, dropping the phone to the side as I lay on my bed, looking above me, watching the high ceiling, every column and corner of it, the magnitude compared to that of my old room at home, its apparent white color, gleaming above me.I picked up my phone from my side again and clutched it tightly to my chest. I let out another breath. I just needed to ease my mind. All I wanted was to talk to V
Violet's POV I help Mrs Maria. and the other maids with the cleaning, that's one of the things I do to assist the maids and they show gratitude for my support to them. I take up the part of cleaning the kitchen floors while the other maids take up cleaning the dishes and the other jobs in the house.While I did my own portion, my thoughts raced back to last night, my moments with Vincenzo and I smiled, I remember how happy Mrs Maria and the maids were very happy when they saw the ring on my finger, Mrs Maria was so ecstatic, she kept hugging and congratulating me and I wished this happiness never ends.This was not the kind of engagement I envisioned for myself, I wanted an engagement party where close friends and family gather to celebrate me and whoever I was engaged to, but the grim truth is that with the situation of things my happiness is the most luxurious thing I won that I should put first before my fantasy.According to Vincenzo last night, all we need is us. From now on I wo
Violet's POV His hands softly grinding my hips roughly against his body, his right hand clutching my neck tightly from behind me, his left hand grabbing one of my butt cheeks, while my both hands were wrapped around his neck digging into his soft, silky, and black hair.He grabbed the back of my neck tighter forcing me to open my eyes which were closed as I let myself get lost in the moment, the sexual tension between us got intense, and I bit my bottom lip stifling the moans that threatened to come out.I opened my eyes to look at him, my whole body was on fire for something only he can give, no matter how I tried to control my emotions I couldn't seize the crazy moans that left me, sending signals to Vincenzo that he was arousing me.“Baby, do you want this?” He breathed on my lips, grazing it teasingly with his full lips.“Of course…” my voice dropped in an octave, “I fucking want this!” I screeched as he slid his finger inside my cunt, stroking it mercilessly.“Ahhh…ssss….hmmm,”
Violet's POV After we came inside, he helped me take off my damp clothes and gave me his robe to wear, while he went into the bathroom to get the tub ready for the both of us.While alone in this room, I curled my toes, my eyes fixed on the ring on my finger, sparkling and teasing me with its beauty.A shy smile crept up my face, I couldn't believe this, the ring looked out of the ordinary, and I could tell it cost a fortune, the red heart-shaped diamond was sitting proudly in the band encircled with white glittery diamonds, I could look at this all day it's so beautiful, what even marveled me more was how perfectly it was fitted in my finger.I took the ring out of my finger to have a better look at it, I heard water bubbling in the bathroom and I could tell Vincenzo was damn busy.As I looked closely at the ring I noticed tiny letters written on it. I couldn't see it clearly because the room light was dim. I went close to the lamp and I turned it on, taking a better look I saw that
Violet's POV He opened the door for me as I stepped down from the car.“Thank you, gentleman,” I said jokingly and he laughed, after waiting for me to adjust my gown he held out a hand for me, I took it and we walked into the place he called a Japanese restaurant.I wore a backless chili red gown that stopped mid-thigh, with long sleeves and a small slit at the edge of the left thigh.With my diamond earrings on, my facial look was evened out, Vincenzo insisted I wear the necklace he got me, and I wore a pair of black Zara stilettos.While he wore a dark blue tuxedo, black shoes that had been polished to perfection, and his Rolex watch, he straightened his curly hair and brushed it to the back.A man standing at the entrance greeted us.“Good evening, Mr Vincenzo, may I take you to your reservation?” he asked, bowing his head, a gesture of respect.“Yes sure,” Vincenzo replied.He unlocked our hands that were intertwined and he snaked his hand at the small of my back, his touch again
