Zara’s POV“So what should I do to your erring sister?” Master Diego asked looking straight at me with those his charmingly piercing eyes that look like they hold a lot of secrets. Those eyes that look like they have all the solutions to the world’s problem. Those eyes that definitely turn me on every single time, what am I even saying? Everything about Diego Fernandez turns me on.“What punishment do you think Yara deserves?” He asked again, this time looking at my sister. His face seem to soften a bit when he looked at her. I hate Yara so much, she always seems to find a way to take everything that belongs to me!“I don’t know, but I was thinking that she should probably be starved for like three days and then tortured with something really hot.” I contemplated. They both turned to look at me which shocked expressions on their faces, like they could not believe their eyes. Especially Yara, she looked like a ghost with her eyes that widely opened, she look
VALENTINA’S POVYou don’t know how truly unjust the world can be until you are stranded, without a job and nobody is willing to hire you. Everywhere I have gone, it has been the same story; we can’t hire you because you are not the right fit for this establishment. Even though I remind them that I was a waiter at a diner very recently, it is almost as if they have all made a vow not to hire me for some reason.“I am sorry Ms. Sanchéz I can’t hire you.” The manager of yet another diner said. I couldn’t help being sad even though I half expected that response. Cafés, restaurants, fast food places, I have tried everything but for some reason nobody seems to want me.Desmond sandals? No, I can’t, that would mean going back to my old life which I want to stay far away from. YARA’S POV“Yara can I still trust you?” Raphael asked he looked hurt, sad, a little disappointed. He looked like I had stabbed at the back with the knife I am holding. I
DESMOND’S POVI remember the first time I watched Valentina dance, it was at Don Carlos’ strip club, about two years ago, I knew she was special, anyone could see that.I sat amidst those drunk pot bellied slubs that Don Carlos calls his associates, I let their noise drown into nothingness and focused on her, focused on how the stage melted in her presence like she owned it, watched how the lights obeyed her every command, how we all gave her all our full attention.I paid for a lap dance that day, that was quite unusual because I don’t ever find the appeal in strippers and whores, I am not that kind of man but I don’t know, Valentina is different even the Devil agrees.Valentina was different from the other girls we could all tell every single man in that club wanted her for himself, it was probably the knowledge of how untouchable she was that prompted our lust even more.The rules were simple; you have to be satisfied with just watching Valentina dance on the
VALENTINA’S POV“Tie her up and take her to the Dungeon, she will be one of my whores.” Diego Fernandez said in an authoritative voice. His mere presence seems to send chills down everybody’s spine, he is known to be ruthless and emotionless, not minding who he hurts as long as he gets what he wants. Diego Fernandez is literally the Devil in a human form.I looked at Don Carlos pleading with him to save me as they were tying me up but he did nothing, he just stood there looking sympathetic with his eyes facing the ground. Next to this man, Don Carlos, my master who I have feared for as long as I can remember looked like a scared little boy.“Let me go!” I yelled, moving my hands as they tried to tie them.“I said let me go!” I yelled again with rage in my eyes. I am trying my best to hide my fear, trying to keep my voice steady. They will not see me cower in fear, I will not allow them get the pleasure of seeing me vulnerable.“Feisty, I like that. After I am done with her, she will
VALENTINA’S POVWhy is this happening to me? My life was finally going to be complete and now this? I pulled my hands sideways tugging violently at the handcuffs that held my wrist together, I felt it dig into my skin but I did not care, I have to get out of here, I have to tell the police about this… about this monster that killed my Lorenzo.I was still struggling to get myself free when I heard the door clang open and someone walk in, I could hear their footsteps as they moved closer, my heart was starting to beat really fast.“Hello!” I said as I squinted my eyes trying to make out the person’s feature, it did not help that the room was completely dark.“Who is there!” I yelled again, trying hard to ignore the fear that I was starting to feel.I felt a hand on my cheek, it trailed its way down my neck and circled it in a loose choke hold.“Pl… please don’t hurt me.” I stuttered in fear.“I would never hurt you pretty face.” A voice said. I immediately knew whose voice that is. Di
“Help!!!” I yelled, trying to get my voice to go higher than the music.“Help!” I tried again but the cars close by were moving too fast to notice and music was too loud.“Please don’t take me to him.” I begged the driver. He just smiled at me sympathetically and kept on driving. I was completely helpless, what does this man want from me? Is it not enough that he has taken Lorenzo away from me forever? I could not stop myself from crying, I hate Diego Fernandez so much but I can’t do anything about it, I wish I could plunge a knife through his chest and watch him die!We stopped at what looks like a penthouse, the man pulled me out of the car and into the elevator, the people around did not seem to see anything wrong with the way he was rough handling me, they just carried on with they were doing like this was completely normal, even though I was bawling my eyes out.We walked into a room marked’A11’ after the man had typed in a code.“Leave us.” Diego said to the man immediately we g
VALENTINA'S POVDamian walked into the room, I stared into the face of that traitor, my hands were shaking violently, I never knew I would see him again! I never wanted to see him again, not after what her did to Ava and I.“Okay so does someone care to explain what is going on here?” Diego asked looking very intrigued with a smile on his face.“This…” I started angrily.“This is my ex-girlfriend. Valentina. We dated a very long time ago.” Damian said cutting me off and then giving me a warning look. I know what that look mean, I also know how ruthless Damian can be if anyone goes against him, I have seen him slit a man’s throat.“Oh so that is what the fuss is about.” Diego grinned.“Valentina my dear, it doesn’t matter if my brother here was your boyfriend what matters now is that you belong to me now. I mean out with the old in with the new, I’m I right brother?” Diego asked looking at Damian with a warning look.“Yes.” Damian cowered.“Great, now that that’s settled. Valentina bab
VALENTINA’S POV“Were you trying to escape?” Diego asked with a frown. I looked from him to Damian to Mr. Fernandez. All the memories that I had fought hard to forget came back in full force. “Did you think you can just leave like that?” He asked again. I stared at him, still not registering when he is saying.“I’m talking to you.” Diego said, making me snap out of my daze. I looked at him.“I can’t go through this again…” I said sobbing into my hands.“I can’t.” I said again.“Again?” He asked looking confused. I thought he remembers everything, the accident… everything.“ Yes what happened five years ago.” I said expecting him to understand what I am talking about. “What do you mean?” He asked now visibly confused.“Oh… Valentina used to work in dad’s company.” Damian said cutting me off.“There was the whole issue with her not getting a loan from us to save her father.” He added. Lied. “That’s…” I started and then stopped when I saw a frown on Mr. Fernand
