The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 25: Janet and the Maid
My heartbeat quickened as I jumped up from sleep, awoken by a violent knock on the door. I wondered what exactly was happening and had somehow come up with the worst possibilities possible. The violent knock came again and this time, I ran to the door to see who it was and why the knock was so aggressive. Opening the door, I saw Janet standing on the other side with a crazed look, and oh boy, was I scared. Very scared because this woman was always composed, and calm. “Did master come here yesterday?” She asks with a fire in her eyes that could burn this room to ashes. I wonder what the problem was this time Scared and confused but curious, I nodded a yes to her question. The anger somehow looked like it doubled when I nodded and it made me remember that she hated no words. “Y-Yes, he did.” I responded, my voice shaking uncontrollably as I took a step back with every step she took towards me. Was she going to hit me? Did the mafia man send her here to finish the job? Nah,

For the last two days, the mafia man has been weird but unlike this weird and hoped that this weird would last forever because he was taking great care of me and didn't leave me even when he was going to work. It was like he had to have his eyes in me the whole time.Since the incident with Janet, I had woken up everyday to him sitting by the bedside with his head on the bed beside me.He would wake up early and go back to his room, thinking I didn't know but I knew very well.What was he up to?The switch up was too fast that I could not help but think it was another tactic to fulfilling his promise.“Morning Miss Sarah.” The man who had introduced himself to me as Daniel, comes in with a meal that I had rejected earlier.‘How did they known I didn't eat?’ I ask myself and then realize who it was, and so I saying my eyes at them who were already looking at me, causing them to turn their faces forward and very fast.I couldn't help but smile.“Thank you Sir but I'm not hungry.” I sta

Lorenzo's P.O.VIt was the day of the event, and I could not pretend that I was happy about it. Most of these business men had relations with the mafia, and if I pick one, I may be gaining an enemy which was why I never associated with any of them.I needed a plus one and Sarah would be coming with me.Somehow, that made it a little better because despite the fact that I didn't want to make another enemy, I hated crowds and events.Too many people somehow made me overstimulated. I preferred peace and quiet.Walking down to my room, I see the jewelry box that contained, an earring, necklace and a rin, that I got for Sarah.It should go perfectly well with her purple dress, and her skin tone. At least, that's what the lady at the store told me after describing her looks and dress to her.Using the door that I created to connect our rooms together, I walk in and my mouth almostwster at the sight in front of me.I hated the way I was so easily moved when it came to her but it appeared lik

The part was one that felt scary. I had never been to a party but I could tek that this was not an ideal party.The women were pretending and the men also all had fake laughter's. It irked me.As soon as we stepped in, the noise went silent and everyone began to whisper. Talk about hating to be the center of attraction.“Don't leave this spot.” The mafia man offered as he helped me sit down in a chair at the bar, due to my huge dress.I nodded in response and turned away immediately.I was angry at him.Who kisses someone abruptly and then walks away without saying a word, only to come back and drop something like nothing happened and the kiss was just a figment of your imagination.Everytime inremember that kisss, my lips tingle because that was exactly hownmy heart tungked with that kiss. He may be annoying and sometimes, wicked but his kiss out a fire in me that I didn't want.Now, everytime I look at him, my eyes are magnetically drawn to his lips and it scared me that I actually

Lorenzo's P.O.VI was filled with rage and the moment I saw Daniel, I landed a punch on his jaw in anger. I specifically told him to watch Sarah's every move and everyone around Sarah, but he neglected his duty.I was about to throw another punch when i saw the person I wanted to hurt the most, right now.Juliet.As soon as my tongue came in contact with Sarah's blood I knew immediately who he was that poisoned her.It was the poison that I had taught her how to use, and in the exact same dosage that I had structured how to use when I wanted to poison someone little by little.The thoughts that I was the one that taught us something that almost killed the one person that I care about pained me very deeply.I brought Janet in when she was about 11 years old. The both of us were on the streets, both of us lost our parents, both of us were miserable at the time, and so when I got help from my auntie I had no choice but to help her to because we were of the same kind at the time, and si

“Why hasn't she taken her drugs yet?” The mafia man asked from outside, and from his voice, I could tell that he was pissed, but a little smile appeared on my lips as the thought crossed my mind.He had been different.Theseoasr few days were one that had shocked me with every single second that passed. This notorious man had changed so much that I couldn't keep thinking it was a trick.Does he actually care for me? Or does he pity me? These had been the two questions that have plagued my mind but then, I also knew that I was not ready for the answers because I didn't know whether or not, I actually wanted him.Yes, I want the kiss again if I'm being honest but I think it's just out of curiosity, and the thrill of a handsome dangerous man kissing me.The thought had me imagining it.One of his ha ds in my waist and the other cupping my jaw, and his lips on mine. Tasking, feeling and exploring every single part of my mouth.Just thinking about it, had goosebumps appearing in my skin.

“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

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

Lorenzo's P.O.VMy hands immediately felt heavy when I got the call that I dreaded the most.I knew from the second I started to like her that there was a possibility that could be in danger, just for my affection.I knew that there were so many people that wanted to harm me but could not get to me and would definitely try through her.I knew it, and that's one of the reasons I tried to stay away but it still happened.I could not remember the last time I felt fear such as this. It was overwhelming and for a minute I wanted to crash out but if I do, what would my baby do?Immediately composing myself, I pick up the phone that had its glass now shattered from the force with which it dropped.“Find them. Use whatever means you can.” I spoke into the phone seeing that the call was still on. My voice was low and defeated, somehow having no strength to even disclose his exactly I felt.Seeing all the emotions I was expressing, Daniel stood up abruptly walking up to me with an expression th
The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 39: Warren
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
The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 38: Dreams and Kisses
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
The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 37: Whipped
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
The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 36: A Drunk Confession
“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
The Traitor's Daughter Chapter 34: A confession
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 Traitor's Daughter Chapter 33: Heartbeat
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
