VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW“If I help you remember you have to promise me that you would give me back my daughter.” I said and then paused a bit.“Regardless of what you remember… regardless of if what you remember makes you hate me more than you probably already do.” I added.Diego frowned at me, he thought about it for a while before sighing and finally giving in.“Your daughter would be yours again once I remember my past.” He sad, he looked a bit sad like he was sad to let go of something.I have to make this pact with him because I need to get my daughter back and I am not sure he would be willing to give her back if he knew some of the things I did five years ago.There are parts of the past I would like to remain hidden, parts I hope he never remembers, part of the past I still regret till this day. I wish he can only remember the parts were I was his girl, the parts were we used to be happy, went everything was going smoothly the parts before he returned from the ranch, the pa
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
VALENTINA’S POV“You slept with him, Valentina.” Damian said in a menacing whisper. I could see his eyes look red with rage, his fist clenched, his lips tightened, his brows furrowed. It remains me of those days when Damian would freak out whenever he sees me with Diego, that time he had threatened to stab my Diego with a knife, how I had to agree to be his girlfriend because he had threatened me with Diego’s life, how distressed Diego had looked when he saw us together during prom. That was when I stopped showing up at the Fernandez’s mansion, I had to keep my distance from the both of them… mostly Damian, I couldn’t bear to keep seeing that hurt look in his eyes.“Why would you do that Vee.” He said gently caressing my chin in his hand. Gentle? Why is Damian being gentle? He is never gentle… he was never gentle… Diego is… well was the gentle one. I had half expecting him to pull me painfully by my arm or shake me roughly or squeeze my face painfully in his
DAMIAN’S POVI have watched him take everything away from me, over and over again. My twin brother Diego who happens to bethe bane of my entire existence. He has been a thorn in my flesh since we were children, he has always had the spotlight to himself, always had the prettiest girlfriend, had always been the better looking twin, the most popular one and somehow I’m supposed to be okay with that? No? Not anymore.I hate Diego so much, the mere sight of him enrages me. It takes everything for me not to drive a knife through his chest.“How did the operation go?” I asked Diego with a smile I have to keep on my face so he doesn’t suspect my impending betrayal.“It went well. Just a few casualties.” He said absent-mindedly as he picked up a piece of sushi from the plate. I glare at him with disgust before returning my smile back to its place. There is nothing special about Diego, I don’t understand why he is always favored by my father and everyone else. He has

ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “I have to get married to Maddie.” Delvin said, his words shocked me beyond anything. What?! We are in a relationship! We have been in a relationship for sometime now, he said he loves me that he was willing to spend the rest of his life with me so what changed? I am fine being his secret girlfriend, I’m fine with no one knowing that we are dating, I held my end of the deal, I never spoke to him at the campus or whenever we were in public around people he knows, he said it had something with his father not wanting him to be with any girl that is not up to their social standing, he said he was going to find a way to convince his father that I am different, that he loves me and he is going to spend the rest of his life with me with or without his father’s permission and now he is here telling me that he is getting married to Maddie.As in the girl I had thought to be just his best friend, the girl he had convinced me is just his best friend.“I’m sorry Zara, if I
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW My dream does not make sense but yet somehow it does, it is kinda like my mind is starting to remember but somehow I do not want to accept something that my heart already knows, something my heart has already accepted. I know i love her, I get my heart has known of this fact since the day I set my eyes on her that day at the alleyway, she looked familiar, it felt like I had known her from somewhere like she was from my past life or something.If the part about her being the love of my life before the accident is true does it also mean that the part about her not killing my brother is also true? That can’t be! I know she did it! I saw the footage! What happened five years ago! Why can’t I remember?! Why is my brain so fucking useless!And now the only person who can explain everything to me has somehow vanished! I’m going to get to the bottom of this and who ever helped her escape is going to feel my wrath.I looked at Giovanni, he still looked as arrogant as he
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I feel like a free loader, just staying at Blake’s apartment without paying for anything, not paying for the rent or groceries or anything and on top of that he got beaten because of me, it feels awful to be the reason for a person’s misfortune.I have been here for just a week and I already feel terrible, I should be doing something, I should be paying him back.“Please? I promise I’ll be safe.” I said for the hundredth time.“You can’t promise that Yara, he is dangerous, see what he did to me, I know him Yara a lot more than you think you do.” Blake said, his voice went sad when he said the last part. “I just don’t think I can stay here without doing anything anymore… i am tired of being such a… a leech.” I said. That’s how I feel like a leech, who takes and takes without ever giving back. I need to give back, I need to pay back just so I can feel worthy.Blake stopped arguing with me for a while, he went quiet like he understand where I was coming from like h
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I woke up drenched in sweat, I did not even know that I fell asleep until I woke up, the last thing I remember from last night was watching Valentina look outside the window.I had a horrible dream one whose thought I cannot dismiss, it seemed very real, too real like it happened, like I was re-living a past life or something, it felt more real than even reality, I can still feel the pain of the bullet piercing through my chest, I can still feel how close I was to death, how the only thing that stopped me from slipping away was her, the girl in the pink ball gown, the girl who looks eerily similar to Valentina Sanchéz.In this dream I was dancing the waltz with this girl in a big beautiful banquet hall, I remember feeling so happy and fulfilled like everything I had ever wanted was finally becoming mine, I held on to this girl more closely, she rested her head on my shoulder, I had my hands on her waist, we danced like this until something happened, I don’t know
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW It is really funny… waking up handcuffed and tied up by a woman, there’s something a bit sexual about it maybe that’s why I can not take the situation seriously. She has that file in her hand, I actually thought I had gotten rid of that so when I saw it with her I was a lot surprised. Honestly, I don’t really care what she thinks about the file, I don’t think I would ever care what she thinks again, she just proved to me that she is exactly who I think she is, a liar and a manipulator.It’s really funny her spiking my drink, making me unconscious and then trying me up… I am the one who normally does that so this is definitely a new development. I look straight ahead at her, she looks frantic, very shaky, very unsure of her next action… it’s funny how hard she’s trying to hide her shakiness. I’m not really even mad about her spiking my drink and getting the handcuffs on me, I find it more… amusing than annoying, it’s entertaining really, I wonder what little mis
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I placed the hood of my hoodie on my head, I tried to blend in with the surrounding, I tried not to be noticed, did my best not to even make a squeak, it is really late at night and at this time the street gets dangerous, there was a car coming my way, the headlights was on almost fully, the headlights were pointing in my direction.I tried to sink further back into the bench I was sitting in, tried to disappear. What if the person coming tries something with me? There would be no one to save me, there would be no one for me to call out to out here in this lonely diserted street.I was literally about to run in panic when he walked out of the car… he being Blake, I ran into his arms with tears streaming down my eyes.“I was so scared, he is so dangerous… he… I don’t know what to do Blake.” I sobbed into his shirt, he said nothing but just held me in his arms.“Let me take you home Yara, everything will be fine, I promise.” Blake said and I totally believe him wit
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW“Who is he?” Walter said. his eyes were red with rage, his hands were balled up in a fist, his face was set in a frown, he was sitting there at the entrance room. I held on to the grey hoodie that laid over my gown.“What do you mean? Who is who?” I asked back doing my utmost best to feign ignorance, I am so fucking nervous right now!He stood up from where he had been seating with one of his legs down and the other one crossed vertically over the one that is touching the ground.“Don’t lie to me Yara, it never ends well for people who do that plus I like having you around so don’t make me do something that we would both regret.” Walter said ominously as he walked around me in a circle. I stood there frozen in place, scared half to death, I remember that night, I remember what he did to Olivia, I remember the haunting sound of her last yell, if he can do that to Olivia Reverra with all her money and influence, if that can happen without him been taken to court for
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW I had to do it! He was going to kill me! His hands were around my neck! I could not trust him not to end my life so I had to use the Roofie I had in my back pocket. The drinks were all laid out there on the table, he left me alone in the room when he went to answer his phone call, I had to do what I had to do so I dropped the sedative into the wine glass and hoped he would give me the wine without the drug in it and he did and now he is laying unconscious on the bed and I don’t know what to do!Panicked, I moved closer to where he was on the bed placed my hand over his chest to make sure that his heart is still beating. It is, thank God! I sat there staring at him, what do I do?! I did not think this through! What if someone walks in! What if he dies from an overdose or something! Fuckkk!!! Why did I do it?!I paced the room with my hands on my head and worried lines on my face. One of the drawers in the room was slightly open, out of curiosity I pulled it
