The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER EIGHTY: SLOW DANCES
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “You can either start eating by yourself or I will have to make you.” Raphael said, I ignored him and looked away. He grabbed my chin roughly in his hand and turned my face to face him.“Don’t you dare look away from me when I’m talking to you.” Raphael said and then let me go, I winced in pain and then glared at him.“One thing you have to understand Yara is that I own you, your father sold you to me before you even learned to talk, I gave him the fortune your family enjoyed, you and your siblings were able to attend the best schools because of me. I own you Yara and that ownership is going to be forever so you better start enjoying your golden prison my love.” Raphael whispered into my ear, his face was so close to mine, his breath felt warm against my face. I closed my eyes and felt a drop of tears slip from my eyes.“What happened to my obedient little whore? How did you change so much in just a few months of me not being around.” Raphael said tracing lines o

VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEWThe box was delivered to my door step at around five pm, the ball is supposed to start by nine. The hair stylist and makeup artist came a while later. I looked into the box, it had the same Dior couture gown, the one with sequins and Swarovski stones, the same one that I had said to Diego I liked about a week ago when I had literally forced him to watch watch the Milan fashion week broadcast with me. It was the one that Gigi hadid had on in one of the shows.The box also had a pastel colored Chanel bag to match the gown as well as a pair of louboutin heels. My mouth was wide up in shock at the amount of expensive stuff in the box. I cannot accept this, it is too much! I would never be able to pay back, I can never afford to pay back. I’m sure I can find something good enough in my own closet to wear. I opened up my closet, searched and searched but nothing looked good enough to fit the level of exclusivity that the ball promises.I looked through the clot

YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I am dressed in a red hip hugging gown. The red of the gown contrasts my light brown skin, the red mirror’s how I feel, enraged. I never agreed to this, I told him that I did not want to go for this masquerade ball but as usual he got his way and I am now here seated at the back seat of this black tinted limousine, next to him being driven to the venue.He pours some golden colored champagne into a champagne flute.“Here this will help you with your anxiety.” Raphael said, I took it and had all the drink down in one gulp. I have always battled with social anxiety it became worse after my father’s infamous arrest, after our family was thrown into a whirlwind of media frenzy, it was a long time ago but I remember every bit of the trial.Raphael knows about my social anxiety because I told him, the day I told him was that day my father got this huge award and he chose me to give a speech, I was so sure I couldn’t do it but Raphael helped or should I say the thin

ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I don’t know what happened, I don’t know how it happened but now I am tied up here in a building I cannot recognize, a building with a very high ceiling, white plastered wall and red ties.I am tied up next to Diego Fernandez, the mafia king who had captured my sister and I, why am I tied up next to him? Why am I here? I don’t know!The last thing I remember is being at the masquerade ball with Delvin, I remember dancing and being really touchy and affectionate with him, I remember him leaning in to kiss me on my lips, I remember tip toeing to reach his lips.Then I also remember the light going off, I remember the panic that surrounded the hall as the sound of gunshots filled the air, I felt someone pull me away, I yelled for Delvin but his voice came from the far end of the hall, he sounded like he was being restrained.“Zara!!” He yelled back and then I heard a crash coming from the direction of his voice. I can’t get the image of him laying unconscious on th

DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW “You really didn’t know now did you?” My father said laughing that his cold wicked laugh that can make anyone’s blood boil with anger and resentment. He seems to be enjoying himself taunting and making a mockery of me.“She didn’t tell you huh? So much for true love.” He mocked, i gritted my teeth and balled up my fists but said nothing. I want my fist to make contact with his face so badly but I tried my best to calm myself down, I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing the anger in my face, I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that his words can get to me. I tried and hoped my face was emotionless.“So she kept the truth from you? Who would have thought?” My father said again.I don’t know what to think, I don’t know who to believe, over and over again Valentina has proven to me why she shouldn’t be trusted, there is the whole issue with Dester, there’s the time she went to work for Desmond Sandals to spite me, there’s the fact tha

VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEWRaphael Fernandez, Diego’s father is a monster. He raped me. It is one of those things… those memories I try to push away, one of those memories that I try to forget ever happened because I am not sure I have healed from that, I don’t think I can ever heal from that.Remembering it will create a chain reaction of hate, regret and self loathing so I have tried for years to just imagine that it didn’t happen.I used to wake up drenched in my own sweat, I used to have nightmares where he would chase me through the woods with a sickle, in those nightmares Raphael Fernandez was the grim reaper and I was his prey. I used to be scared of leaving the house for months, every man I saw scared me, they all reminded me of him, of what he did so I retreated to my self.The first person I ever told about the rape was Damian, we became friends after Diego left for the ranch, we had a platonic friendship and then it grew into something more.I needed Diego, I was vulnerable,

VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW “Where is Dester?!” My sister Sydney asked, I have to look for a way to break the news of Dester’s death to her without upsetting her, it’s been five days, I have been trying my best to avoid this question, it has not really been hard to avoid the question because she has been sedated for most of that five days and when she was awake she was too groggy from the sedation to talk for too long.But now it’s been five days since she woke up, she’s finally starting to get better, she’s finally off those injections that makes her sleepy, she’s finally going to be discharged tomorrow.I cannot avoid this question for longer.“Why hasn’t he come to see me,” Sidney asked again.“Doesn’t he love me anymore? Why haven’t I seen him since the accident yesterday?” She asked starting to get panicky. Sidney’s time lapse is a bit flawed, as a result of the coma and the constant sedation she thinks the accident that happened to her and Dester five years ago, she thinks the ac

YARA’S POINT OF VIEW Raphael said nothing else to me after his huge ‘I love you’ confession, we just fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.He has never told me he loves me before, since he became my man when I was younger. I just always convince myself that he did. I always did everything to make him fall in love with me, I did whatever he wanted even stuff I wasn’t comfortable doing at the time just so he would say those three words but he never did and then now when I’m not even sure how I feel about him anymore he says the words that I have been waiting to hear when I was a teenager.To be honest I don’t really know if what I feel for him is love, or obsession, sometimes it’s lust other times it’s just pure hatred. It’s a mix of everything, sometimes like yesterday when he is really nice to me at those moments I’m sure I love him but then he does something to fuck everything up and then I hate him, then he comes on to me with his beautiful body and seductive voice and at tha

The devil’s new plaything WAITING TO EXHALE
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER HUNDRED: THE SKY MIGHT BE FALLING BUT I’LL HOLD YOU TIGHT
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-NINE: IF THE WORLD WAS ENDING YOU’D COME OVER RIGHT?
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-EIGHT: HIS CRAZY MATCHES HER MADNESS…
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-SEVEN: NO IN BETWEENS
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-SIX: SEND ME AWAY
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-FIVE: SILENT MORNING
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-FOUR: ALL SHADES OF BLUE
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
The devil’s new plaything CHAPTER NINTY-THREE: THIS IS GOODBYE.
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
