Brinda
“What did you say?” I asked, my eyes darting around nervously. My voice trembled, betraying the fear that gripped me.
“What did you hear me say?” He replied coolly, his gaze never leaving mine. “I know you’ve been poisoning me, not long after I forced you to work with me.” He sank into the chair opposite, his tone casual, as if we weren’t just talking about the very thing that could end my life.
I dropped my head, avoiding his gaze.
I was caught. There was no game left to play. The end had arrived, and with it, the realization that my time might be running out too.
You’re stuck, Brinda.
So it was true — when I thought I was being clever, trying to seduce him and slip poison into his food, he knew. But he had let me.
“Francesco,” I said, mustering the courage to speak again. I lifted my head, meeting his gaze. “You knew I was poisoning you. Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you stop me?”
“Are you regretting it now, Damsel?” He leaned back, his voice mocking. “What happened to that whole 'in life and death, we’ll be together' spiel? Did you not stop to think when you started slipping poison into my food, even after Bullet warned you?”
Bullet. So she told him.
“I’m fine with it,” he continued, his voice flat, as if this conversation meant nothing to him. “I’m ready for death whenever it comes. You, on the other hand, you’re the one who is afraid of it. Death and I are old friends. We’ve had many meals together. I would be happy to share one more.”
“Francesco…” I whispered. “How can you be so casual about this? You are going to die, and you are talking like it’s nothing?”
“Does it look like I care?” He snapped, his voice growing louder. “I’ve been waiting for death to show up for a long time. Well, thanks to you, it’s getting closer. You deserve a medal for that.” He raised his glass as though offering a toast to the inevitable.
“Why do I care? Why do I care?” I repeated, my mind spinning in disbelief.
Francesco wasn’t human anymore. He was a monster. How could anyone talk about death with such indifference?
I had always been the emotional one — the one who cried at the smallest things. And here he was, the man I poisoned, practically celebrating his own death. If there were an award for the first person to be excited about dying, Francesco would have won it hands down.
“Let me go, Francesco,” I said, my voice breaking the tense silence.
He chuckled dryly, his eyes never leaving mine. “I can’t let you go. And even if I did, the only place you would end up is… Hell. Do you see, Brinda? Obsession is stronger than will.” He dragged out the last word, making it sting with a finality I couldn’t escape.
I opened my mouth to speak, but something inside me whispered not to fight anymore. Francesco and I were never really on the same page. Not anymore. Not after everything.
Fate had played its game, and I had lost.
Francesco stood up and left the room, leaving me behind in chains. I tugged at them desperately, my hands raw and bloodied from the struggle. How foolish I had been to think I could escape.
The weight of the chains dragged me down. I could hear my breath — heavy and labored — as I stared at the key hanging just out of reach. Francesco had placed it there on purpose. This was his punishment.
When my body could no longer take the strain, I yawned and let myself drift off, unable to fight any longer.
~~~~~
“Ah… Ahh… Damn, you are so good!” Francesco’s voice came from a short distance.
I shook my head trying to chase the voice from my head but I could not just get it off. My eyes slowly opened and I managed to raise my head.
A slim blonde with a white hair, just like mine was in between Francesco’s parted thighs. Her head moved up and down and sometimes, it even went left and right. My stomach churned simply at the sight of it.
Francesco opened his eyes and saw me. He bit his lips then he increased his voice, louder than before. He gyrated his hips on the sofa before he grabbed the blonde’s head and bumped it up and down faster.
Francesco never took his eyes off mine. The pleasure he got from the blonde seemed to be the best he had gotten in his entire life. His breathing grew rapid all of a sudden while he moaned non-stop. He threw his head backward and a few seconds later, he pushed the blonde off before he pulled her up violently.
Like a slut that she was, she wrapped her hands around his opened butt while Francesco grabbed his dick with his left hand. He stroked as fast as he could. His hands moved up and down as it covered the whole length of his dick, to his dick’s pink tip and all the way down to where his pubic hair was.
He let out a final groan as his sperm came spurting on the blonde’s face and opened mouth. She chuckled as she swallowed the sperm down her throat. Francesco let go of his dick and the blonde got hold of it.
She pressed it till every drop of Francesco’s sperm came out of his dick’s hole. She quickly wrapped her mouth around his dick and swallowed the length. She choked on it for a while as Francesco held her head.
When he came down off his sexual pleasure, he pushed the blonde away. She went on her knees quickly before she bowed her head. He pulled up his trousers then he dipped his hand into his pocket.
He threw some bundles of dollars at her. She thanked him before she ran out of the room.
“Did you like that?” He asked.
Before I could respond, the sharp crack of gunfire sliced through the air. My breath caught in my chest, freezing me in place, while Francesco’s ears seemed to strain, his whole body tense with shock. Who were these attackers?
And why were they coming at us with such brutal force? How would a chained me get out alive?
The gunfire cracked through the air like a thunderstorm on judgment day. Chaos erupted. Grown men, strong and battle-hardened, screamed like frightened children.Francesco locked eyes with Brinda for a brief, electric moment before he turned and bolted from the room.“Bastard! Will you release me?” Brinda’s voice sliced through the noise, but he was already gone.Francesco moved with urgency, his boots pounding against the floor as he rushed to his room. No hesitation. No second thoughts. He yanked open the bathroom door and pressed a hidden button beneath the drawer handle — just like Brinda had when she had sneaked into his space days ago with Bullet.The drawer slid open with a soft click, revealing a lethal collection of guns. A wicked smirk curled his lips. He grabbed a few of the deadliest ones, admiring their weight in his hands.Then, just as he was arming himself, Guerrero crawled into the bathroom, his face twisted in pain, his left arm hanging limply like a broken doll’s.
Brinda“Make sure you please the guests, or you’ll never see the seventy thousand dollars for your mother’s treatment,” Mr. Donald’s cold, mechanical voice cut through the air. He tossed the stripper costumes at me with a detached sneer before ordering his assistant, Mr. Desmond, to take me to the dressing room.The words stung, but I had no choice. I had no room for pride or hesitation.As we entered the dressing room, I could feel the eyes of my fellow dancers — male and female — staring, their judgment heavy in the air. I didn’t flinch, but inside, the humiliation was a quiet storm.From a nurse to a stripper. How had I fallen so far?Every girl dreams of a loving family, but I was abandoned by mine. If someone ever asked what my parents looked like, I would have no answer. I don’t even carry their name. My identity — my whole life — was stolen from me. Instead, I became ‘Brinda Virginia,’ an orphan with no place to call home.Thank God for Sarah — my stepmother, the woman who sa
Brinda The next afternoon, I buried my face in the hospital bed beside my mother, her frail body still and unmoving. The clock was ticking — seventy-two hours slipping away with every second.“Mom,” I whispered, shaking her gently. No response. Desperation hit me like a freight train. I had to find a way to save her. I couldn’t lose her.Peter’s touch on my shoulder was soft but couldn’t heal the ache in my chest. His presence was a comfort, but it wasn’t enough. Not yet. Not until I knew for sure that my mother would wake up.“It’s okay, my love,” Peter murmured, his voice a soothing balm against the sharp edges of my panic. His head rested on mine, and I placed my hand on his hair, allowing my tears to fall freely.“Don’t cry,” he whispered, but it wasn’t enough. How could I stop when my mother’s life was on the line?Peter’s voice cut through my sobs, but his words were strangely calm. “I’ve got twenty thousand dollars so far. We’re almost there…”I jerked away from him, my hear
BrindaThe weight of yesterday’s sins pressed heavily on me. The money I had stolen from Mr. Donald when I killed him was gone, swallowed up by my desperation. My mother had been thrown out of the hospital, and now I was left with nothing but the remnants of my choices. There was only one place left to go — back to the clubhouse.Who the hell goes back to where they murdered a person?But what other option did I have? I had no choice. I stepped out of the taxi, my last cash slipping through my fingers. The money Peter had given was nearly all gone, swallowed by the cost of setting up a clinic at home for my mother.As I neared the entrance of the clubhouse, an overwhelming dread gripped me. My mind spiraled with thoughts of getting caught — of being dragged away by the police for what I had done. But I had to take the risk. I had to find a way to get the money.I stepped inside, the familiar scent of stale alcohol and cigarette smoke mixing with a sickening sense of panic. The air
Brinda Waves of restlessness swept past me and my knees turned numb which made me stagger backward while my heart raised as if I had just finished a marathon. Each step Francesco made towards me was accompanied by the sound that was soon followed by the droplets of rain. My heart sank as his face came into the view — clear enough for me to see it. It's been five long years but he remained the same. Why didn't I recognize him at the bar?I gripped the hem of my clothes as the memories of our past flooded into my head. He locked his eyes on mine for the first time letting a sly smile appear on his face. Five years ago, Francesco was my boyfriend. We both worked tirelessly to make ends meet which included me working as a stripper and him working as a bar attendant. He raised his head and inhaled deeply then he brought his face back to our normal level. “It's so nice to see you again, Miss Brinda.”“And it's not nice to see you. You bastard!” I yelled. “You're such a cruel person.”
BrindaI found myself standing before a massive mansion, towering like the haunted memories of the high-profile targets I had once eliminated without a second thought. The gates creaked open, and there they were — three men in black suits. They were the same faces that had allowed me to lose everything just days before. My fists clenched at my sides, desperate for a reason, any reason, to strangle them where they stood.But I swallowed my rage, knowing there were bigger stakes at play now.As I was ushered into the mansion, everything around me was unnervingly still. The air was thick with tension, every step echoing in the silent space. Then, out of the quiet, Francesco’s voice sliced through the room, sending an icy jolt down my spine.“Non ci vediamo da un po’.” Long time no see.I froze. Blood drained from my face, leaving nothing but a cold, burning emptiness that settled deep within my soul. My legs gave way, my chest constricting, every breath a struggle against the rising
Brinda Feeling a series of hard rhythmic taps on my cheeks and Francesco's deep male voice that instructed, “Wake up,” I struggled before my eyes flipped open after some seconds. “I wonder how someone could be this useless. You've had enough sleep. Time to work, damsel.” My body jerked forward, my arms flew in the air and my hair came falling covering my face in the process. I tapped my forehead for some time then I raised my head only to meet Francesco with a smirking expression. All what he did yesterday came running in my head. I just wanted to stand and point a gun at his head but who am I? A suppressed lady with no choice. The only way I can free myself from him is to achieve his goals then also help him to bury the secrets he intends to. Hold on! What are his secrets? That's exactly where I'm supposed to start thinking from. Francesco wants me to work for him but I don't know the type of errands I will be running for him. “Are you deaf or are you trying to let me yell on
Brinda Stepping into the expansive living room of the mansion, my breath hitched. The space oozed luxury — everything in sight screamed money, from the opulent furniture to the gleaming marble floors. A part of me couldn’t help but envy the grandeur of this place. What would it have been like to live here? I wondered bitterly.I cursed my parents under my breath, the frustration of my past life bubbling up once again. But before I could dive deeper into those thoughts, I heard noises coming from upstairs. Curiosity pricked at my senses, urging me to find the source.I hurried up the staircase, following the sounds, and soon I found myself standing outside a door that creaked open, revealing a scene that made my stomach twist. Inside, a man with a bulging belly knelt close to a plush chair, surrounded by three women — prostitutes by the look of them — also kneeling on the floor.Francesco stood by the door, flanked by his men, his presence as commanding as ever. His gaze was sharp,

Grown men, strong and battle-hardened, screamed like frightened children.Francesco locked eyes with Brinda for a brief, electric moment before he turned and bolted from the room.“Bastard!

BrindaI paced up and down in Francesco's room. Despite the fact that the air conditioner was working perfectly well, sweat still glistened on my face and neck. “Will you keep pacing up and down?” Francesco asked before he sipped some wine. I ignored him, my left hand to my jaw while my index finger tapped my cheek gently. Francesco lit up the cigarette in his right hand, his eyes fixed on me. “Can't you take your eyes off me?” I questioned, throwing my hands in the air. He rolled his eyes sarcastically, “Really?” He arched an eyebrow. “You are not that beautiful for me not to take my eyes off you.”“Seriously? What is going on?” I ranted before I sat opposite him. “Thus far, from my investigations, I have also met a deadend just like your mother told me a few minutes ago. Who killed your father?” “I don't know. I'm lost, just as you are.” He replied.“In that case, why haven't you told me to find out who killed him?” I asked, which after I folded my hands.“We are on it. Aren't w
With Brinda in his arms, Francesco stepped into the grand entrance of the Dante Mansion. Rainwater dripped from their soaked clothes, forming a small puddle beneath his boots. The dim chandelier lights reflected off the marble floors, casting eerie shadows on the walls.Brinda coughed, her body trembling slightly against his chest. As Francesco strode deeper into the mansion, she shifted slightly. “Francesco… put me down. Your mother will…”“Don’t worry about her,” he cut in, his voice firm.She sighed but didn’t protest further, her fingers tightening around his damp shirt as he carried her up the stairs.A sharp intake of breath came from one of Francesco's men. He was tending to Guerrero’s reopened bleeding wound in the corner of the living room.“Should I prepare some warm water for you?”Francesco’s lips twitched into a small smile which is something rare. “Yes, please.”Brinda remained silent, keeping her hold on his shoulder while he climbed the stairs with careful precision, a
BrindaThe rain lashed against the pavement, a relentless drumbeat against my skin as I pulled Francesco out of Marshall’s company building. He resisted at first, his feet dragging against the wet ground, but I didn’t stop. If we stayed a second longer, Marshall would have finished what he started.Francesco wrenched free from my grasp. His eyes, wild with fury, locked onto mine.“What the fuck have you just done?” He roared, his voice raw, rainwater dripping from his hair, sliding over his lips.I shivered, whether from the cold or his rage, I wasn’t sure. “Francesco, he could have killed you! You know what Marshall is capable of…”“And who are you?” His laugh was sharp, bitter. “Just a slutty woman playing hero?”The words hit like a knife. But I lifted my chin, refusing to cower. “Francesco, my dignity as a woman lies in my body. And I only give it to those who deserve it.”His gaze darkened, his fists clenching at his sides. “I should have known. You’re a snake that can’t be trust
The violent release of gun shots rented the air along the thick forest that leads to the main road just a few kilometres from the Dante’s mansion. The route has always been where the Dante's used to transport their illegal hard drug business since they moved to New York.Scar, Marshall's right hand man, moved swiftly like an agile predator, his assault relentless on Francesco's men. He slaughtered their throats and paved his way to the truck in the middle. Lightning flashed above and thunder struck, hinting at the impending rain which would come with a violent storm. The air was thick with the stench of gun oil, sweat, and something metallic — blood.Five men faced off, their bodies tense, their weapons glinting under the sickly glow of the moon.A broad-shouldered man with a jagged scar running from his temple to his jaw, held a serrated knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. Across from him, another man adjusted his grip on a pump-action shotgun, the barrel swinging between
Brinda I dived my tongue deeper into Francesco's mouth and he seemed to enjoy it as he devoured my tongue rapidly. His hands went straight to my left breast. The heat from his body was intoxicating.What are you doing, Brinda?What my mind is telling me to do obviously. Should I stop?Francesco pressed my breast and I let out a low moan before I shut my eyes and let his control take over my body. I rubbed his back down before I tugged at his bathing suit, only wanting him to take it off his body. He broke the kiss — breathing heavily — stared into my eyes and pulled me up, my ass on the divan. A devilish smile played across his lips before he claimed my lips again. I clenched my fist slowly before I threw my hands across his back. I struggled to lose his bathing suit as I already felt his manhood rising. He stopped kissing me and groaned while he threw his head backward. Now that it has come to this, I guess there is no going back. It's either me or him. One of us has to play the
BrindaEvery step Francesco took towards me made my heartbeat increase but I composed myself and remained seated on the floor. When he reached where I sat, he cupped my chin with his right hand. “My body is candy that you can't resist. If not, you would not have looked at me till your face got red.” Speaking of getting caught red-handed.“What the fuck are you saying?” I asked him trying to play innocent but he dragged me up gently. His hands wrapped around my waist then he pulled me in closer to his body, his breath brushing past my face repeatedly while he stared into my eyes. If it was five years ago, I would have felt something but not anymore. I can feel nothing but unease while being in his arms. His eyes did not leave mine while he stared into it — Evil, cruel and intense with no good intention.“Damsel, why did you allow Joshua to touch you earlier?” He questioned. I rolled my ears before I chuckled, “He is nice. And of course, he's cool. And with the way I saw him…” I lef
Brinda My slippers slapped against the marbled floor as I made my way to Francesco's bedroom. My heart wouldn't stop beating while the tray in my hand wouldn't stop shaking as well. I know Francesco is in a state of rage but I can't bear not to give him the newly grinded bottle in powder form to him. His father's actions had already paved a way for me. All I have to do is invite him to dine with the Angel and boom, his death. As I approached the door, my heart beat faster as I wondered if Francesco would open the door or not, especially with the music that was blaring from his bedroom at midnight.I was about to tap on the door when the door flung open. Francesco melted into my arms, almost knocking off the tray in my hand but I held it firmly. This is the only way for me to leave his house. We will both meet in the afterlife. He has given me The Deadly Nightshade already, what should stop me from opening the gate of hell for him? Karma! Like he said he said to me when we first
