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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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,
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
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
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
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 “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
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEWYou both have a friendship that works Diego stick with that! Don’t fucking push her away by wanting more! You have to stay strong! Just be her friend, she wants a friend right now just be that!I keep showing up, I just can’t stay away, i have things I should do you know? Important things but somehow I’m always here, craving her… company, to its full extent.I can hardly breathe, I just want her in a non-friendly way, in a non-platonic way, in a more sexual way. Sometimes when I’m around her, I am so sure that I would combust from how much I want her, from how much I want to feel myself inside of her, sliding and gliding, sucking and fucking. I have to remind myself that I don’t want to push her away, that I don’t want to lose the comfortable friendship we have.I am standing behind her, she tries to move through the space between the kitchen counter and I. Her ass gentle grinds against my crotch, against my already aroused cock, it feels electric. She apologize
WALTER’S POINT OF VEIWWhy isn’t she here yet?! She should have been here… safe hours ago! we would have gotten past this, all of this crap but yet again she has chosen to hunt me by not showing up, once again she has chosen that prodigal son over me, she does not know who this prodigal son truly is and it sucks that she thinks she does.She has swapped our roles. She has made me out to be the bad guy even though I am not, she has made my erring son to be the good guy that he most definitely isn’t. I knew she would not listen! I had two option either to have my bodyguards kidnap her or just threaten her into coming here. I chose the second one because for a weird reason I wanted to give her a choice, I don’t know why but I wanted her to choose to come to me herself. I should have picked the first option because if I had then she would not be in the danger that she is in now! It’s all my fault, what she is probably going through right now is my fault. I knew she would pick Blake,
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW When I saw that the door was unlocked, I did not panic like the last time. Nowadays i feel like I would be more panicked if I meet the door locked after I get back from work. I know who is in my house, it is the same person who has been in my house every single day for about a week now, it is Diego, it’s his M.O to just go into my house without prior notice, he has pretty much made my house his since about a week now. He lets himself in (I don’t know how) takes a sit and pretty much just waits for me to get back from work, the first three times it happens I was shocked maybe a bit terrified but now after all these time I would say his presence is pretty much something I am starting to get used to something I am trying my hardest not to start getting attached to because I know what would happen when he learns the full story about five years ago.I walked in and sure enough he was there seated sipping on a glass of whiskey.“This whiskey sucks but unfortunat
