“Put me down!” I scream and kick and fight, knowing very well that it never had an effect.It didn't have an effect before, it won't have an effect today.I felt extremely embarrassed this time though because there were so many men in the living room for whatever reason, and we passed in the middle of them all.Giving up, I just rekaxed tibsee where exactly he was taking me and in a few minutes, we were in a room, one that was brighter than the previous one. It was painted a beige colour and had cream coloured curtains.It looked like it belonged to a girl because of the little pinks I could see in the room. The desk beixe the bed was white but the edges were coated in a baby pink colour, and I couldn't help but admire it.“You're staying here from now on.” He states and looks at me as if expecting a refusal but I had no reason to, besides, my word would not change anything so I stayed silent and just nodded in agreement.Silently, I watch him put some things in place and then open a
Even in my dreams, I couldn't wait to be awake and see my room and everything in it clearly.The excitement made me giddy even as I slept.Feeling recharged and happy, I rush into the bathroom to get ready and wait for breakfast but I felt choked.The bathroom had black tiles that I thought were blue last night but its glossiness made it look so good, I almost slept in there.There was a bit shower too!As soon as I was done, I swore to never make a mess and keep everything squeaky clean at all times.I know I never had this much in my life, and although I was grateful, the boredom was eating into me. There was no one to talk to or laugh with.I was doing nothing but staring into space for hours, and I was sick of it.A 65 inch television that looked brand new, sat steady on the walls untouched. I wanted to watch something so bad, but I didn't know how to use it as father never let me tough his things.I considered waiting for the maid that brought my meals but I was restless from bo
Yesterday felt like a wake up call for me, because for some insane reason, I actually thought he was nicer or at least, not as wicked as before but It was just reminded that he was aas brutal as ever.He killed that guard for just waking him up.I was definitely doomed to die.I was bored!How dare I?Being bored was a luxury.That just meant I had begun to see this place as permanent, maybe even a home.I was never hired, all the days in the dungeon and in that other room, not once was u bired but I got too comfortable and too soon.I felt like a big fool.His plan was literally working so well and so fast that even though I knew, I wasn't able to resist it.A gentle knock on the door brought me out if my thoughts as I walk over to answer the door. Opening it, it revealed the woman that brought me out of the dungeon for the first time.“Hello.” She greeted with a smile on her face, but her demeanor looked hostile to me but I didn't care. I was a prisoner that just made her master k
Lorenzo's P.O.V“Enzo, these are the papers.” Daniel says, walking through the doors, dropping the newspapers and articles on my desk.Recently, rumors spread that I had killed my wife and that I was involved in shady business, and I knew exactly who spread that.It was Mr Gordon.He hated the fact that he could not cheat me, and that I caught up with every single dirty plan of his, before it was executed, every single time.I was not even mad at his attempt to ruin my business because I did far worse to his, as repayment for trying to cheat me.Imagine trying to beat me at a game I control.Since they all want any excuse to see my wife with me and alive, I'll show them.I hadn't gone to the company in months and had been managing it's operations from the house, using Daniel and Janet as my representatives in my absence.The company was doing very well and that was the reason for the jealousy from competitors. It was not just Mr.Gordon but also Tresse Industries, when they tried to bu
“You're absolutely breathtaking.” The beautiful woman awed as she looked at her finished work.She was styling me for an event I didn't even know of, but I heard from the maid that brought me food that I was going out with the mafia man.I didn't know where but I was in love with the look this black dress gave me. It accentuated my curves in a way that made me look like the prettiest professional.I loved it so much, and the woman was also a sweetheart, asking with every step what I was and wasn't comfortable with.Her constant consideration of my feelings and thoughts melted my heart and even though I had been down for the past few days, I offered her a smile in response. Gently holding my hands, she walked me down the stairs where the mafia man and another very handsome man was standing, and as we came down, I looked at the mafia man and for whatever reason, he had a shovked look on his face.It made me think that he never thought I could look good.Well, I do and I knew that I loo
“You can sit down there. I'll just go through some things that need my attention and we'll head home.” He said as he points to the couch in his office.The office was one that felt unnecessarily spacious because it had so many compartments like a mini kitchen, a couch on the far side of the office, a balcony, a refrigerator and other machines inside of it.Maybe I was just raised by poor standards.Nodding in agreement, I walk over to the couch and sit down but I almost moaned as soon as my body came in contact with the couch because it was so soft and oddly comforting.I wanted it.I know I sound so weird but I want this couch so bad.Sighing in comfort, I sink into the chair and in in my comfort, I think about all the things that have happened up until this moment and it was quite shocking that I was still alive and not just alive but better.I wondered and pondered about the reason for all the acting by the mafia man. It's not like there was anyone who would come to ask him about
These days have been a little better after they changed the guards who were guarding my room. These new guys were funny and actually helped out with the television without me asking them.They came to me themselves and were wondering how I was staying sane being by myself with no source of entertainment.Now, I found it to be the best source if entertainment sitting outside with them because no matter how many times I invited them in, they declined and made me understand that it was against their duties and that they shouldn't even be talking to me.Them saying that made me remember how that other guard died for such a petty reason so I found a way to spend time with them.Now, they could be considered my friends.“The man actually thought he could outrun our speed car just because he had won some races, so we decided to play with him a little and slowed down so that we wouldn't outrun him, but just enough to be close to him. When we got closer, we…” The guard paused for dramatic eff
Lorenzo's P.O.V“Good morning boss. These are the papers that show the amount and types of iron they would like to purchase. Stainless steel seems to be the most demanded for but we are short on it.” I hear one of my staff say but I didn't want to listen.I knew this was business and also knew not to mix any other thing with business but I was angry.I heard my name being called, once twice and then I heard nothing.I was in a conference room but far away at the same time, lost in my thoughts.I had been angry since I woke up and I didn't know how to manage it. The thought frustrated me so much.It was like a thorn I could not get rid ofEARLIER THAT DAY: “I've had enough of your muteness. It's so obvious that you talk to everyone but me and I don't know why.” I said to her immediately she woke up. She slept by my side yesterday and I felt good seeing her wake up beside me, and even better when I saw that she took care of me the whole night.“I have nothing to say to you besides the
The mall was a fun place. With every step was a new store that had things the shop before it didn't have and it fascinated me.It was definitely not too new to me because I had read a lot and pictured it in my head so many times. However, it could not be compared to actually being here in person.“Ugh, I'm so full,” I grumble as Warren passes me yet another ice cream.We had guns from store to store, mostly tasting and trying every food we came across and I wasn't complaining.It just that right now, I could not breathe.We shopped, we ate and I marvelled at the fact that people actually live like this. The mall was packed with people and mostly kids with their parents.Every single one I passed made me question just why my own childhood had to be so different and full of suffering.I didn't even have enough time to wallow in my self pity when I noticed two men by our right staring at us.It was only for a point second, but u could swear they looked at us like they targeted us.Immedi
My lips buzzed and my heart tingled from the dream I just had.The mafia man kissed me. So gently, like I was glass that could break any second pressure was applied.The short kisses and his groans were sounds that I wanted to keep imprinted in my mind forever.Turning and stretching with a smile on my face and my eyes closed, I squeal as I stretched in content, just to open my eyes and see the mafia man staring at me in my bed.“Ahh!” I scream as I jump up. My tingles and content long forgotten and now replaced with shock and a little bit of confusion because deep down, I knew why he was here.It wasn't a dream!“You don't remember last night? I thought I was the one who was drunk.” He says with mischief written all over his face and a sly smirk, immediately after which the memories came folding back in.How I convinced myself that it was a dream was the most shocking thing because now that I recall, it was real.Too real.It scared meFlashback“Now tell me, do you want to keep tes
Lorenzo's P.O.VThe cells were filled with it's usual stench, only now overshadowed by the smell of blood.That fucker Francis doesn't know what exactly he has gotten himself into.Passing the polythene bag in my hand to Daniel, I instruct that he disposes of its content which includes the fingers of Francis and his men.If there was one thing I was known for, it was my torturing methods.Methods that could break even the strongest and most vicious men.I started from pain that would normally seem insignificant but was actually unbearable to the average person.I always started from plucking out their fingernails, and then move to the fingers, after which I leave them to heal a bit.Let the pain die down and just when they think they are healing in about two days, I come back and continue my torture, making sure to inflict permanent injuries in places that would not kill them so easily.This was the reason why I admired the ones who killed themselves before I got a hold of them.It wa
“Sarah!” A loud voice called from the other side if the door and I didn't need a fortune teller to know that it was the mafia man, just that somehow, his voice was different.The night had been perfect so far. Since I had been allowed to leave the room, I religiously went on night walks, especially to the garden.It was so beautiful.Not just beautiful, but smelt like heavenThis house was slowly beginning to be a prison I did not want to escape and the owner of the house was not making it any easier.Speaking of the devil, I scrambled around to pick some clothes I had scattered all over the bed which included some undies and I knew very well that I would die of embarrassment if he saw them.Taking a quick look at the room to ensure that it was decent enough, I opened up with a nervous smile only to see a very drunk Lorenzo in front of me.“Hi Sarah.” He mumbled almost inaudibly as he reached for me with his arms extended out like he wanted a hug.Frowning in confusion, I stretch a h
My whole body buzzed with excitement and curiosity since yesterday.How someone could say that and then act like he said nothing the next day, baffled me so much.“Are you ready?” He barges in as he asks. The sudden harsh sound of the door colliding with the wall had me gasping.“Oh, I'm sorry.” He said again and I still had to blink twice tu register that he had said sorry. It was not a word I would easily get used to him saying.“Um, almost?” I respond like I was asking him another question ti which he just awkwardly nodded and took a step back towards the door but attentively staring at the ground.“O-Okay. I'll wait for you outside.” He states as he takes slow steps away from my room, but I didn't miss the sharp looke he took towards me as exited.Why did he look like he wanted something else? I thought to myself and quite honestly, just git confused the more I thought about him.Nowadays, he had been stumbling on his words, acting weird and giving me so much care and respect that
It was just noon and he had made a million little trips to my room. It was confusing but amusing because for some reason, he was not the mafia man.More like a clumsy mess.The first time, he came with fruits. The green berries that I had become obsessed with since the first day the maid brought them alongside my meals.With every trip he made to my room, he brought something with him, and although I loved everything he brought, I was getting more confused with each visit.“Hey, I-” He started as he opened the door but stopped mid-sentence, making me turn lazily to look at him.Before he came in, I was laying in my stomach, and facing the wall which was opposite the door, and now I was facing him and he looked stuck in place.“Uhh.” I voiced out, not knowing what to say as he looked so stiff standing exactly where the door was, not moving an inch and for a second, I wondered if he actually walked in here on his own. Curios and amused at the same time, I move to stand up and he took i
The helplessness I felt as the man dragged me out was one that could not be measured because I fought hard.I fought but he didn't budge and just dragged me out even harder with every time that I struggle with him.This just made me resolve in my heart that if I survived today, I'm definitely going to train to be stronger because I've had enough of nit being able to protect myself from anything.As soon as he dragged me out, hoisted me up like a bag of chips on his shoulders and carried me steadily, no matter how much I loved and kicked.I definitely needed to add more weight because these men can't all be so strong.“P-plesse out me down!” I scream at him alongside other profanities but he just chuckled.Chuckled.Is this another psycho?“Now darling, you're just making me love you.” He stated with a smile in his voice and I immediately deflated.Love me?He needed to see me as the most disgusting person ever so that he would not try what that man wanted to.The thought of the possi
Lorenzo's P.O.V“He found us instead.” Daniel stated as he walked into my office in the midst of the commotion.I could understand why my staff were in panic.It had been a while since we were attacked so blatantly. “And he'll be sorry. I'll make sure of it.” I stated, as my blood rushed with adrenaline and excitement.It's been a while since I showed exactly why I was called the crazy mafia in the mafia world.“Send team 2 to the east wing and team 3 to the main gate. Team 1 comes with me.” I ordered as I put in all my weapons in my trousers.I never wore trousers that didn't have enough compartments for at least 10 weapons. There was a reason why I never went to the boutique and only allowed Aisha tailor my clothes.“She's too good.” Daniel commented as if reading my thoughts and I just scoff.There's nothing she did that wasn't exceptional to him just because it was Aisha.“Move!” I playfully yelled at his dreamy face, knowing very well that he was already thinking about her.The
“You still haven't located where he is?” He asks Daniel as soon as he walked into the room.My room has now become their place of meetings as it has not been mine since I took that poison.It's already almost two weeks and I'm actually sick of these men in my room all the time but didn't dare say it out loud.“Not yet Enzo. The man is such a slimy thing. He planned it so well and made us think he was in several different countries. Almost all of which we have our men searching but we need to focus on one if we are going to get any leads.” He stated with a sigh of frustration.The quick look at me while sharing a weird stare with the mafia man, made me think for a second that the man in question was my father.I didn't care, why were they looking at me.“Have you had your lunch?” The mafia man asks as he and the doctor Theo went through some drugs that were apparently the last ones I would take before I make full recovery.I nodded a yes in response knowing very well that I had not tak
