ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I wake up on the couch we sat last night as we watched an unhealthy amount of Disney movies. I woke up on top of Delvin, our lips were close together almost touching each other’s, our bodies so close together, I immediately moved away and sat on the other couch close to him. I watched him as he slept, he looked peaceful, he looks like his dream is one I would like to be in, a dream so serene, a dream where nothing can go wrong, where everything has a happy ending.His lips curled into a smile as if he could here my thoughts, I smiled. He would be a good dad someday I can tell because he is such a good guy even though he tries so hard to hide it.“I know I am stunning but you really need to stop staring at me.” Delvin said as he suddenly opened his eyes without any warning, it startled me. His cheeks were a bit crimson like he was blushing. I smiled at the thought that I would make him blush.“Is that how you wake up? That sudden?“ I asked trying to keep the conv
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW The alarm clock vibrated violently against my nightstand, I sighed. Today is the day my mission and I already feel overwhelmed, I hate the thought of deceiving people and that is exactly what my ‘job’ entails, a job that I did not ask for. My packed up my suitcase, well I did that yesterday already but I guess I forgot to add some other essentials, with my dark shade on, my hood on and my all time favorite book (Americanah) in my hand I walked out the door and into the black tinted SUV.“Are you ready, you have to be because if you fail at this Leanor will surely kill you.” Peir said as he drove me. I froze, I have to do this, I’m sort Giovanni (who ever you are) but I have to get you kidnapped, I have to stay alive so that I can see my daughter Ava again someday, so I can see that Diego again. I have to build myself so when I meet him again I would no longer be that weak whore he had full control over, I would meet him again as his equal or even better I w
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEWThe last couple of days have honestly been one of the best I have experienced in my life, and it is all because of Delvin, my knight in shining armor. I smiled to my self as I watched him from across the hallway of the students’ dining hall. He is sitting with some people who I assume to be his friends, all of them are dressed all prim and proper, they all belong to the wealthy class, all of them are either children of royalties of really rich business tycoons or big shot politicians.Most of them are very popular online and crazily rich offline, old money kind of rich with the chauffeurs and butlers and multilingual nannies. There is Summer Dawn, who is obviously going to take over her mother’s high fashion business, she already models for so many high fashion brands from Channel to Dior, she even walked the Victoria secret stage as a Victoria secret Angel, she has the perfect size zero weight (according to unattainable beauty standards), long legs and a nice smi
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW We are getting married, this monster and I, I just got the news two hours ago just like everyone else on the internet. I got the news of my own wedding from a media outlet, there was a video of Walter on the red carpet announcing our wedding on the red carpet, he called me his mystery girl but now my picture is all over the internet with the caption ‘Walter Davis mystery girl’ next to it. It’s almost as if everyone has forgotten about Olivia, it’s almost as if she never existed. One media outlet claims that she had traveled to Bali for vacation, another one claims that she just wants to take a break from acting. Why has her body not been found?! Is she ever going to receive any Justin?! Am I going to be the next victim?! All this questions have been flooding my head since he killed her and now he is going to make me marry him.I did not know that I was going to marry him, I had planned to escape after I say what he did to Olivia but as if he knew about my plan s
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I have to meet that jerk Giovanni today, I have a feeling that I wouldn’t like him, that he would be spoilt and stupid, that he would be an idiot who I totally undeserving of Leilani.Leilani, I really need to stay away from her, she is too precious too innocent and somehow I can’t stop thinking about her in a way that is not so family oriented, she is my little cousin I shouldn’t be thinking of her naked body next to me. I have been avoiding Leilani and Isla for a while now, I have been in my chamber for a long time since yesterday afternoon after the parade.I need to go into town this night, I have to get some willing bitch to let out some steam maybe that would stop me from thinking of Isla and Leilani, I hope its stops me from thinking about that Valentina, thinking of every unholy things I want to do to her body.I threw on a black polo and a carton colored trouser, I came out of my room got into my car and drove to the stadium. We are all supposed to go t
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I have to go back, I have to make sure my daughter is alright. I am Sitting down here and wondering how she is doing, I hope she is not in any form of pain, but of course she is! She is sick god damn it! I have to be there with her, I need to know that she would be alright, I need to make sure that the best doctors are attending to her.“I’m sorry master Diego, the weather is really horrible, flying right now would be very dangerous.” My pilot said.“I don’t care I have to go!” I yelled at him, he doesn’t understand… I don’t even understand! Why do I feel this urgent need to be around Ava? She is not even my daughter, at least not biologically. So I cannot understand this kinship I feel towards her. The weather is determined to keep me in here, the storm is too thick, there had been a news broadcast for everyone to stay in their houses and not get out.I picked up my phone to call Brynn.“Is Ava awake?” I asked immediately Brynn picked up the call.“She just wo
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I woke up to the sound of beeping hospital machine, a heart monitor was beside me as well as I sleeping Walter, he will never leave me alone even, he would never let me go free, even after my suicide attempt he still sits her by my side like a jailer waiting to take me back to my cell.I tried to sit up but I felt too weak and immediately fall back to the bed, the sound from my fall wakes Walter up.“Why did you do it? Why did you try to kill your self?” Walter said his expression was completely emotionless. I turned and looked away at the hospital wall, I felt my head starting to spin uncontrollably.“Something is not right, call the doctor.” I said to Walter and then fainted. I woke up to a document in front of me, it looked like a ten years marriage contract, I felt the coldness of a metal on my head.“Sign this or I will blow your brain out.” Walter said as he pointed a gun to my head. I felt scared, I really don’t understand this fear because was I not the o
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW Walter left the house very early in the morning, he had to fly to Paris for the launch of his new perfume line ‘Yara’s scent’, there’s everyone on the internet gushing about how much of a thoughtful husband he is for using my name for his new brand, there’s talks about how much he loves me, there are women saying what they would give to have to have a husband as thoughtful and as affectionate as Walter Davis.It’s things like this that keeps me boxed in, nobody would ever believe me when I tell them that he is not who he pretends to be, nobody would believe me if I tell them the truth that Walter is not who he claims to be that he is a murderer and a cheat, they wouldn’t believe me if I tell them how scared I get every single time he is around me, how angry I am that I can’t do anything to defile him, well this invitation card changes everything and tonight I am going to be wilder than fire and if he finds out then he’ll just have to deal with it or kill me like
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I got down from the plane, it’s sunny now, not scorching hot though, just the right temperature like the sky decided to finally smile after the long period of snows. It is January now, December and the holidays is over.December, Christmas was really nice, I spent it with my sister, we watched cheesy Christmas movies while drinking hot cocoa and eating cookies. It was the best time in a long long time, i am getting a little bit homesick just thinking about it. I am in Seoul now, I smile to myself I take in the environment, it’s a little bit busy here at the airport, there are people going and people arriving, there are families welcoming back their loved ones and people saying goodbye.I got my luggage and walked down, I got a taxi and headed to the University. The Taxi stopped in front of the large university accommodation. It looked happy, beautiful, the grasses, trees, the statues, the architecture, everything sat right with me. I stood in front as I checked
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “So how are you feeling today?” My therapist Nia asked. It was hard the first time I was here, the thought of baring myself completely to a stranger made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Therapy felt a bit complicated, being vulnerable did not seem great but it’s been two months now, I think I am getting better at it.“Better, I feel a bit better. I still have the panick attacks sometimes but I think it will all get better eventually.” I said with a smile on my lips, I stared at the pastel colored walls, at the little posters on them. ‘Breath in breath out you’ll be alright.’ One of the posters said, I believe it. It’s taking a while but I can see the improvement.I moved out, moved to a new area, got a new job, crafted new routines for myself, I feel like everything would be alright… eventually.I’m still learning somethings and unlearning over things, I wake in the morning do a little self affirmation, I try to breathe my way to serenity whenever I feel anxious, I
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I feel so helpless right now, I feel so… tired so drained.I cannot do anything about the situation, i cannot help, make it better, nothing I do will make Ava better now. Most times, in most situations money solves the problem, I have a lot of that but now even that cannot help. We just have to watch and see what happens like what the doctor said. It is a horrible feeling being helpless, not knowing what would happen next, being uncertain, feeling this lump of grief and sadness in the pit of your stomach.She lost a lot of blood, the bullet might have damaged some vital organs in her chest area, the bullet is still in her, it might be completely shattered now making it difficult to find all its pieces. The doctors just keep giving us information that makes the situation worse than it already is and now we haven’t heard from them… the doctors for a while now, they have been in that room with Ava for sometime now, we don’t know what is happening, we don’t know wh
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW This should be interesting, I wonder who she would pick; her daughter or her lover, I am actually genuinely curious. I watch her intensely, this Sanchéz girl, it’s funny because I watched her grow up, I watched all of them grow up well almost all of them except the little girl Ava. She seems like a nice kid it’s such a shame that she would be dead soon, they would all be dead soon regardless of who Valentina picks, I am just interested in her choice, I am always interested in how the human mind works.Her choice does not mean I would not take my revenge anyway. They all die anyway, every single one of them, I like a clean job that’s why I get things done by myself… most of the time.“Clock is ticking Valentina, thirty seconds more.” There’s tears in her eyes, she looks from Diego to Ava with the gun in her hand. Her daughter Ava looks scared I can’t blame the five years old. Ahhh Drama, I love it.“Shoot me.” Diego said frantically to Valentina, that fool alw
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW There is this girl who had tried to escape yesterday, she looks no older than seventeen, she looks frail and pale, like everything has been stripped away from her. This girl makes me question the love I feel for Raphael. Amelia, seventeen year old, She has been continuously abused, constantly raped by Raphael Fernandez since she was twelve, I was brought to tears by her story, it is so… inhumane what happened to her… how could I have been so dumb to have fallen in love with such an abuser?! I cannot look at him the same, in fact I never want to see him again, I hope Raphael Fernandez gets the punishment he deserves. I looked at the flash drive again, this can get Amelia the justice she deserves, this can bring Raphael the punishment he deserves.I hand this flash drive over to Amelia, we have been plotting her escape for sometime now, me, her and one of Raphael most trusted employee. This employee has been on Raphael’s payroll for the longest time, he was the o
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW.When I saw him standing there at the door way in a grey hoodie, I thought I was imagining things, I thought I had finally gone crazy from loneliness, I think I had let psychosis get the better of me because of how much I miss Diego.But the he moved closer and closer to me, he looked very real, very present, very… there but I did not want to believe it, three months! Three months and he is here now? I had mourned him, I had blamed God of being unfair to me, I had fought God for taking my Diego again so I could not believe that Diego was the one standing in front of me.I ran into his arms with tears in my eyes, I never thought I would ever see him again but thank goodness fate is being kind to me by bringing my Diego back. He hugged me tightly, he hugged me like I am the breath in his lungs, I have so many questions, many things I want to know but for now I just leaned into his hug, enjoying the comfort that it brings.“Diego!! I missed you so much.” I heard
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW “Where the Fuck is he?!” This bunch of incompetent idiots! How the fuck did Diego escape?! I have everyone lined up in front of me, everyone down to the chef and the butler, they are all so stupid! How could they let this happen! If I don’t get a reasonable answer in 0.1 second every body’s would be spun out of their necks, it wouldn’t make any difference since they are brainless already! Brainless enough to let Diego escape!There have to be a snitch, a betrayer, a two faced idiot amongst these fools because there is no way that Diego escaped all by himself, this place is heavily guarded, there are guard at every single point so someone must have help that spawn of mine.“There is an enemy amongst us, the person who helped Diego escape can either come out now or be fished out.” I studied them one after the other, nobody came out, it’s alright then let the show begin.I dragged the head of the domestic staff out first, she usually knows all the gossips I bet
DELVIN’S POINT OF VIEW It is my wedding day today, I should be happy but I am not, I feel like my life is spinning out of control, I feel like my life is spinning in a direction that I don’t want it to… everything feels so… wrong, so out of place, it feels like I am about to make the worse mistake of my life.Maybe I would have been happy if I was getting married the the only girl I have ever loved. Zara. But Anyway, this has to be done, this will strengthen the alliance between my family and the Perrozos, this is good for business, it will help my father campaign, it will give us the opportunity to merge our companies together and I will be the CEO of this new company.Marrying Maddison Perrozo is what is best, it is what our families want.“My man! It still feels like a yesterday when you were a playboy out here on these streets causing havoc and now you a getting married?! I still can’t believe it!” My annoying brother Hunter said as he patted me playfully on my back.I took my ph
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “These past few days has been hell for me, I want to be in your life forever Zara, I can’t… cannot function without you by my side.” Delvin said, his eyes were focused on me, his eyes… they held untold emotions, they held a passion.I swallowed, I have to stay strong, I have to follow my plan, I have to not feel, I have to choose myself, I have to stay alive.We are at a completely empty lounge, there are gaming screens and equipments on some corners of the lounge, some the lights at the corners blinked slowly. I stare one of the screen, it is completely blank but I still stare at it.I don’t want to look at him, I don’t want all the feelings I have for him to come up to the surface, I want him but I also want to stay alive, tonight is the last time I will ever see him.I don’t want to look at him because looking at him will make it harder for me to leave him in the past, looking at him will make it more difficult for me to prioritize my life over our love.Lovin
