ASHLEY'S POV…I jerked up with an instant fear residing inside of me. My heart racing in palpitations as I squirmed my eyes open to an unfamiliar room.Just then Aria's face flashed in my mind, and I panicked, almost jumping out of bed but then my gaze landed on a man whose back was turned against me.He stood still with legs apart, just as though he was a statue and I stared hard at him, my words finding it hard to spew out of my mouth."Who are you?" I demanded, my words freely flowing out of my mouth with my gaze still fixated on the man standing with his back turned against me. MyThere was no response from him. I was met with total silence but what made me believe it wasn't a statue in front of me was the way he kept tapping his shoes on the ground and he thrusted his hand into his pocket.At that moment Jaye filled my thoughts and I wondered if the man in the room was ordered to watch over me by Shaun and Jaye?If my instincts were indeed true, then I would have to look for a wa
Ashley's pov…My eyes were set on the knife wrapped up in Dante hands. The sharp edge was close to my wrist, instilling fear inside of me.Without any hesistance, I tried to push Dante away, but his grip on me tightened. He held me firm, the knife finding it's sharp edge into my eyes.“What the heck do you think you're doing Dante?” I asked, my voice coming off in a loud thud.“You have eyes so I'll suggest you make better use of them. It's to your own advantage afterall” he replied, shrugging his shoulders at me.“Control your self Dante” I warned, my voice trembling in stutters. “You might slash me with the knife”“You should have known better before playing with such danger and this is what you want anyways. I'm here to help you kill yourself and once it's confirmed you're dead, I'll get the custody of Aria without any hassle” he said, his eyes gleamed with a sinister intent.Tears flowed down my cheeks without any control. Once again, I felt my whole world crumbling around me as I
ASHLEY'S P.O.V All eyes were on me as I walked to the the pole. I had a flirtatious smile on my face as I walked. I loved that feeling of men wanting to have me, but they couldn't. It was my trick. I make them thirsty for me, but I never let them get me. The moment my hands met with the pole, I started swinging on it. I kept going higher and higher. I spread my legs wide on the pole, letting my body move to the rhythm of the slow music that was being played. I was high on the pole. Very far from the floor. I looked at my audience with an evident smile on my face. Some generous men were already emptying thier pocket for me. I kept on smiling until my eyes met with someone and it dropped. My smile wasn't the only thing that dropped. I dropped too. I lost balance and found my self slipping to the floor. I was supposed to have a bad floor, but I was able to catch myself before that happened. “Holy fuck" That was the first thing that made it out of my lips. Dante Garvino was seated r
ASHLEY'S POV.. After multiple head twirls I woke up when I felt a cold sensation on my face. I tried to open my eyes but it felt weighty then I shut them instantly, I tried to move but my movements were restrained. I couldn't move my limbs neither could I convey a message, my limbs were tied with a shackle while a cloth was stuffed in my mouth. I shuddered, getting the courage to open my eyes then I peered around the ambience which hinted to be unaccustomed. I reminisced all the memories of what happened, they came into my head like questions I had forgotten to answer. I tried to free myself from the shackle and I didn't care much about the men standing before me, they just watched me as I kept struggling. I twisted my body multiple times then I tried to stand up from the chair but I watched all my efforts go down the drain. I stared at the ceiling with heavy breaths as I recited a prayer verse to calm myself down but then I bursted out with a loud cry. Suddenly the door swung open
ASHLEY'S P. O. V "Give into my demand and be my sex slave" his words made my face go pale instantly. I was stunned into silence by his unpleasing demand, I knew what being a sex slave to someone meant. "What!?" my numbness got replaced by uneasiness and anger and my eyes darted to look directly into his green deadly eyes which I felt like gouging out. Instead of pain I felt anger course through my veins, I gritted my teeth as irritation started bubbling in my chest despite my fear, my anger got the best of me and I opened my mouth to speak. "How dare you think you're in a position to place such a condition before me? I'm totally convinced you're nothing but a psychopath. How could your thoughts be so cheap? Disgusting! Shame on you" I spitted out and lashed out at him with disgust and anger lacing through my voice "If your mother had slapped you very hard when you were a child probably you would have had some manners and wisdom and also you would have known that women should always
ASHLEY'S P.O.V… "You had better stop right there if you don't wanna get shot at" a voice groaned inhumanly and it had me turning but then my jaw instantly dropped. "It's you? aren't you the elderly lady who came into my room to give me new clothes?" I whispered with shock written all over my face "Yeah it's me" she confirmed "Please don't raise an alarm, just let me go I really don't wanna be here" I pleaded letting all the tears flow and sob to express all the pain and disgust I felt. "No my child I'm not here to stop you, Iooking at you I knew how you felt about being in such a horrible place. The boss is a very cruel man and once he holds you captive you're never going back to living your normal life,I never helped myself but at least I can fulfill the duty of helping someone else" "But you have the opportunity right now, I have created a ruckus and it will take long for them to find me so why don't you just join me and let's escape I'm sure you have a family who must be wait
ASHLEY'S P.O.VThe first ray of sunlight seeped through the window which made me stir and my beautiful almond eyes shaped like the beautiful nuts yanked open, I felt a sharp pain underlying the numbness on the left side of my stomach then I tried to lift up my weight but my stomach felt dead and wouldn't obey my instructions.I heared the door handle twitch then Dante came into view and a cold chill ran down my spine while I glared at him with a burning rage."What do you want? did you come to shoot me again?" I lashed out at him in a sonorous voice. He leaned at the door with his hands shoved in his trouser pocket with an icy angry gaze which pierced through me like a sharpened sword then slowly a sly smile spread across his lips then he took few steps towards my direction, he stood in front of me with a grilling gaze and crouched down right in front of me."I am Dante Garvino and I rule the mafia so I can choose to torture you till my heart content and there's nothing you can do abo
ASHLEY'S P.O.V.. "Strip!" his voice resounded in my ears and I gulped hard in fear of what his words really meant as I stared open mouthed at him. I felt my stomach sink and holding back the urge to fight the overriding desire to rush into the bathroom and empty all the contents I had inside of me. "It has never been a habit of mine to repeat my words and it wouldn't start with you, you heared me right? I said strip!" he commanded and his words brought me out of the trance I was in and the look of utter dismay swept across my face. "I can't do what you want. I mean to say I feel pains all over my body, you can see I'm bleeding because of your actions so I guess this isn't the right time" I replied hesitantly before looking away and I bit my lower lip in frustration. Hearing my hesitant reply didn't spark anger in him but for some unknown reason he got amused by my response. "Just shut up and be a good girl, it seems I didn't tell you I love good girls and how much more do I have t
