Vanessa’s pov. It was late in the evening and I had eaten nothing, I was feeling extremely weak, due to all the crying and thinking. Yes it’s true all what Sophia said is true I’m just a sleeping tool to Dominic, I wish it was not true but the fact is that it’s All true, because Dominic confirmed it all. But now I’m starving, and I need food before I faint. I stood from the cold floor, I sat down and headed for the door. I walked out of my room and headed for the kitchen, now I think about it, why did Rose not come and check up on me since? Maybe she’s busy having fun with Darren. They deserve it. And since this is our last day here, I think it’s best that they enjoy it. I got to the kitchen and saw two maids talking to each other,so I walked up to them. “Please, is there anything I can eat now that I'm starving?” I asked them politely. And one of the girls said “I’m sorry ma, but Mrs Sophia said we are not allowed to give you Food” Excuse me? “Hmm I don’t understand, since w
Dominic’s pov. I heard noise coming from the kitchen, and it sounded like a male voice, like Elliot’s voice. Why was he yelling at the kitchen and what could possibly make him yell? I decided to check out the chaos that was happening. As I walked into the kitchen room, my heart skipped a beat at the sight of Elliot cradling Vanessa in his arms. A surge of jealousy coursed through me, but I quickly composed myself, hiding my true feelings. I couldn't help but notice the pallor on Vanessa's face, and my instincts told me that something was amiss.With curiosity gnawing at me, I approached the maids, eager to unravel the mystery that unfolded before my eyes. I asked them, with a mix of concern and urgency, what had transpired. They exchanged glances before one of them spoke up, explaining the unsettling events that had taken place.It was at that moment that I realised the depth of my feelings for Vanessa. I couldn't bear to see her in distress, and a newfound determination ignited wi
Vanessa’s pov. After Elliot left my room, I was feeling so weak, like I could barely stand. I hadn't eaten a single bite since morning, and my stomach was growling louder than a lion's roar. The whole morning had been a nightmare, and this evening made it worse with the mean Sophia and those maids making my life a living hell.I flopped down on my bed, feeling utterly defeated and hopeless. But just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, Rose, my guardian angel, walked into the room with a tray of delicious, mouthwatering food. It was like she knew exactly what I needed in that moment.She placed the tray gently on my bedside table and sat down next to me, her eyes filled with genuine concern. "Vanessa, I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier," she said, her voice full of sympathy. "I just got back, and I can't believe what those awful people did to you."“It’s fine, I’m used to all this” I said to her. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at Rose. It was such a relief to have s
Vanessa’s pov. I woke up early feeling really energised for some Unknown reason. I began to pack my languages because we left here before 12, I heard Sophia already left here because Dominic told her to. I wonder why he did that? Was it because of me? After packing my luggage and freshening up I took my things and headed downstairs. We all had our last dinner here at the beach house before exiting the house. I was going to miss this place a lot despite the bad memories here. I had a good one also. As we all left the beach house, the excitement of going back home filled my heart. Elliot, Lucy, Dominic, Darren, Rose, and I made our way to the airport, ready to board our flights. The thought of returning to our familiar surroundings brought a sense of comfort and relief.Once we were on the plane, I couldn't help but reflect on the memories we had made during our time at the beach. The laughter, the late-night conversations I had with Rose, and the bond we had formed were truly sp
Vanessa’s pov. When I got to the Dining Table everyone was already seated and I wondered why I was always delayed when it came to dinner. Was there this specific time I was not aware of? I made my way and sat beside Rose and she gave me a full smile because she had food stuffed up inside her mouth. We all ate our dinner peacefully, no talking or giving each other words. It was peaceful and honestly it might have felt awkward but it was peaceful to me. After dinner, I told Rose I wanted to have a brief talk with her and she agreed to follow me. So we made our way to the sitting area and we sat down on the couch together and I started filling her in on everything Elliot had been saying to me and she looked surprised.“Why haven't you told Dominic?” She asked me “Hmm at first, I didn’t know he was serious, until now” I said to her. “But still you have to talk to Dominic about this” she says in a worried tone. “What’s Dominic going to do anyways, not like he gives a damn about me!
Vanessa’s pov. “I’m just a nobody, a prisoner please just leave me alone already” I pleaded with him and he only gave me a weird smirk. “Stop looking at me like that” I screamed at him. “Ohh Vanessa you are just wasting your strength, nobody can hear you, I made sure of it” he says and laughed out loud. Immediately I heard those words I start panic. “I planned every single thing, and now I’m impatient,just who do you think you are to turn me down?” He yelled at me as he used his right hand to hold my chin aggressively. My survival instincts kicked in, so I pushed him away with all my strength and prepared to run to the door to escape but when I thought I had victory he yanked my hand back pulling me towards him and the moment my body turned to face him, my face was stroked with a hard slap on my face. “Bit*ch” he hissed at me. “Where do you think you are going to? When I’m not done with you yet” he muttered to me aggressively and a sob left my mouth. “Please let me go Elliot
Dominic’s pov. As I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my heart raced with worry. I was supposed to check up on Vanessa in her room, but when I arrived, she was nowhere to be found. Panic set in, and my mind started racing with all sorts of worst-case scenarios.I immediately knew something was wrong. Vanessa was always bent on escaping, could she have found another way?It was like her to just disappear without a trace. I quickly made my way back to the main area of the house and called out her name, but there was no response.Fear gripped me as I realised that something terrible might have happened. I couldn't shake the feeling that Elliot, with his sinister intentions, might be involved. I had seen the way he looked at Vanessa before, and it sent shivers down my spine, and also Rose told me to beware of him and she told me everything Vanessa told her. I was furious because I was wondering why she didn't say anything about it to me. And at the same time Elliot was nowhere to be fou
Vanessa’s pov. When Dominic saved me from Elliot, my heart was pounding like crazy. I can't even explain the relief I felt when he carried me to his room in the mansion. His strong arms made me feel safe and protected. I won't lie, my feelings for him even grew more, It was like that moment changed everything between us. I realized that I could trust Dominic and he made me feel important. In that room, lying down, I just soaked in the peaceful atmosphere. The events of that evening shook me, but Dominic's presence brought me comfort like nothing else. In the darkness, I could hear his steady breathing, calming my mind. As the night went on, I drifted into a deep sleep, and the weight of the day faded away. Having Dominic by my side gave me a sense of security I hadn't felt before. Something changed between us in that room. It was as if the events had broken down the walls we had built around ourselves, and in their place, a fragile bond had formed. When the morning light stream
Third person perspective. It’s been four days now and Vanessa had shown no sign to wake up. And it was making Dominic so worried, He had never left her side during this four days, Darren and rose made sure to visit and bring clothes and food for Dominic while Darren and Dickson made sure the gang was going smoothly. Dominic had hoped Jackson did not die because he wanted to give him a life where he would have begged for death but he would not see it. But unfortunately he was dead, Dickson shot him on the forehead. Dominic was currently checking out some documents on his lap top where he sat on the couch when he heard stiff moments and a dry small cough coming from Vanessa’s direction. He immediately looked up at Vanessa’s direction and saw movements from her, immediately he stood up and dash towards her. “Vanessa are you alright?” He asked the struggling vanessa who was finding it hard to open her eyes due to bright lights emerging inside the room. Dominic immediately press the
Third person perspective. Vanessa was shot on a the left part of her arm from the back, Dominic quickly carried her in his arms and rushed out of the body, while some of his men followed him and the others stayed behind to clean up the mess. Already Darren and the other men had just arrived. Darren saw Dominic looking panicked as he carried a lady in his arm which he guessed was Vanessa. He quickly got in the car and reversed towards we’re Dominic was rushing from. Dominic got inside the back seat with Vanessa in his arms. He was so worried and praying inwardly that nothing should happen to Vanessa. Darren drive at the fastest way possible he could, he had already seen that Vanessa was losing so much blood at the moment and it would only take the grace of the lord she makes it. That was why he didn’t care about breaking the rules of the road, he knew driving as fast as he could was the only way to get them to the nearest hospital. “Dominic apply pressure on the wound, so the
Third person perspective. Dominic and his men had already surrounded the house, while Jackson and his gangs were unaware of the event that was about to unfold. Dominic’s men were currently waiting for their boss Signal so they could target the house. After confirming all targets, Dominic gave his men the signals to start targeting the enemies. And in no time gunshots could be heard everywhere. The sounds of gunshots could be heard where Jackson and Lucy sat discussing their next plans. Lucy became so frightened “Jackson are we under attack?” She asked him in fear. “How’s this possible?” He asked in shock, he quickly got up and made his way to the door when the door flew open and Jackson men ran toward him. “Boss we are under attack,” the man said in a rushed voice. “How’s the man holding out?” Jackson asked the man. “The men are trying to hold them off but it won’t be too long before they breach and make their way here” he answers. Jackson looked so perplexed and confused.
Vanessa’s pov. Who’s pregnant? Definitely can’t be me though. “Who told you I’m pregnant?” I asked her. “Why have you been throwing up then?” She asks sarcastically. “So any girl feeling nauseous, is probably pregnant? Wow Lucy, your sense of thinking is very low just like you” I said to her in a stern voice and the next thing I knew my other cheek got hit with her hand. “How dare y….” “Ohhh just shut the fuck up! I can get rid of you any time so you better watch your language and mouth here, Rose is not here to save you” she said to me. And I looked at her furiously. “Why are you doing all this Lucy? Is it because Dominic does not like you? There are so many men out there that can satisfy you so why ruin yourself for one man?” I asked her. And she lets out a laugh. “Why I’m i doing all this?” She laughs out loud again. “I lost my Brother because of you bitch, and you are asking why I’m doing all this? Come on Vanessa I will do the worst to you, I’m going to avenge my br
Lucy’s pov. “That bastard Dominic had the guts to end the call on me, I will teach him a lesson by killing that bitch” I screeched out loud. “You will Do no such thing Lucy, Vanessa is very beautiful and I want to have her first before getting rid of her and sending her body to Dominic, now I know why he fell for her, she’s indeed very beautiful Lucy” he says to me which even annoyed me more. “What’s there to like about her? That bitch was the reason my Brother got killed, so I’m not going to spare her” I said to him in a stern voice. “You will obey me Lucy, if not you will end up like your brother, as I said earlier that’s what I’m going to do, Don’t worry I’m still going to kill her and send her dead body to Dominic, and besides we have all the time here to do what we want there’s no way Dominic can find us here so chill” he says and leaves my room. Yeah his right he can have his way with that bitch I didn’t care more torture to her body. I planned this whole scenario and it
Dominic’s Pov. “Jackson, if you dare lay a hand on Her I will kill you and full Family” I said in a stern voice. “Ohhh Dominic, just chill okay, she’s a beauty I think it’s best I have her for myself” Jackson said from the other side of the phone. My blood began to boil in more anger when I heard those words. “If you dare lay a hand on her Jackson, I will torture you so much you will beg mercy” He starts laughing in a mocking tone. “That’s if you can find me” he laughs and before I could say anything he hung up. “Fuckkkkkkkk” I screamed out loud in anger. “Boss calm down, being upset would not solve anything right now, we have to start looking for routes and ways to save Vanessa” Dickson said to me. I turned to look at him, and I knew he was right. I have to bring the old ruthless Dominic back who’s always one step ahead. I’m not going to lose anybody again, especially Not Vanessa, I had yet to confess my feelings for her and I regret it so much now. I had been avoiding h
Dominic’s pov. The gun shorts were massive, I never Expected it to be like this. For the past few days my men have been missing so I had Dickson look into it, he is my head of bodyguards. So today I decided to follow them to trace out where our men were missing, but now it seems like it was all a setup. Immediately we got here the gun shorts became massive. “Have you Called Darren for backup?” I asked Dickson. “Yes Boss, they are on their way” he replied to me, and I nodded my head at him. I knew of only one person who could do this kind of stuff and it was Jackson but what could he possibly gain from doing a fucking setup like this? When he knows he can’t even win. and in less than 5 minutes Darren should arrive with my men. The gunshots continued and by now a lot of their men were dead, and just in time Darren arrived. The moment our opponent saw our backup had arrived it gave them a slow spirit and made my men with me more determined to get rid of all these scumbags.
Vanessa’s pov. It’s been one week now since the whole incident with Elliot happened. The mansion was very peaceful and the worst part of it all. After that night I confessed my feelings to Dominic. I went back to my room, I barely saw Dominic, I only felt his presence during the night when I’m already fast asleep. And I just had this feeling that he was avoiding me, and I think I know the reason why, after I confessed to him, I never got an answer from him. And I don’t even know what made me confess in the first place? Maybe it was the Emotions I was going through at that Moment. I just feel, it’s not nice at all for Dominic to avoid me like this, it’s so unlike him. And it hurts Everytime I think about it, I'm the one who should Hate him but I could not do anything but helplessly fall in love with him.I decided to come out to have a fresh breeze when I saw the guard running from one place to another, they all looked like they were in a hurry to go somewhere. Out of curiosity, I
Lucy’s pov. after I witnessed the whole thing happen, my heart broke to pieces, after Dominic and Darren left, I rushed over to my brothers dead body, I carried his lifeless body in my hand and cried out in pain. I was begging and pleading with him to wake up, but I knew that was impossible, I loved my Brother so much that my heart was scattered in several pieces. there was no longer any love in my heart, instead it was filled with hatred, revenge and anger. the guards dragged me away from my brothers body and they dragged his body to where I'm not even aware of. I was using all my strength to get away from all this men holds, but I knew it was not possible and I was just wasting my time but what I could do? I know I could never see my brothers body, because he belongs to Dominic, Making me even hate this Mafia world of a thing.the guards carried me up and took in the vehicle, I requested to go and bring my stuff but they told me that the maids already kept them in the booth
