YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I saw my door knob move and I immediately flinched, I knew I had to leave Diego’s apartment, someone was watching me there and I did not feel safe. How did Raphael know so quickly? What is he going to do to me? I knew I had to leave town quickly so I rushed over to the apartment I share with my sister, the apartment that has been mine solely since our last fight, since the last time I saw her around.I can’t even remember what the fight was about, we have been fighting for as long as I can remember, I am the one who apologizes even when I know she is the wrong one, I guess I decided not to do that anymore and so like Justin Bieber said ‘we don’t talk anymore’. I searched my whole closet looking for it, where the fuck is it! It is the one thing that might save me, or get me killed but yet again it is my only shot at staying alive. All my clothes were laying scattered on my bed and on the floor as I searched frantically, where the fuck is it! Where is that flash
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW The wind was blowing a little more than normal, it looks like rain is about to fall, the weather is little bit confused, it had been really sunny in the morning, very early in the morning then rain started to fall, then it got sunny again now its windy, it is like the weather feels the same way I do, confused, what does he want this time? Why did he apologize and then make his people literally kidnap me?“Ma’am do you want me to put on some music? What do you like? Ariana grande? Beyoncé?” He asked.I shook my head.“I’m fine.” I said. I quite like how quiet the car is, I like how empty the road is, I like the way the wind is whooshing in to the car through my opened window. I stretched my hand out the window and caught a droplet of rain, I did what Sydney and I used to do when we were younger, I closed my palm over the rain drop and made a wish then kissed my closed fist and opened my fist and watched the water fall down from my palm.Diego and I used to do
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW We got to the front of a building that looked a bit abandoned, no not the scary sort of abandoned, no not that type, the building was anything but scary, it looked sophisticated, well taken care of from the outside.Greg drove to the front of the gate and then parked the car without entering into the building.“He is waiting for you in there.” Greg said as he opened the door to the passenger seat of the car for me. I walked out.“Thanks.” I said I said to him as I stood there a little confused about how to open the gate. It was different from all the gates I had seen before, it had no handle or clear point where it can be opened from.“Just place your thumb on that point over there” Greg said as if sensing my confusion. I placed my thumb on the part he had pointed to, a green light came on after it was done processing my thumb print, it opened and I walked into the compound with my heart beating fast wondering what Diego wants from me. I am scared to find ou
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW “Wake up, we would have to be on our way in about thirty minutes.” Diego said, he looked like a model off duty sitting on that couch with his hair looking a bit scattered and cute and messy like a model straight out of Calvin Klein’s runway collection. One of the strands of his hair got into his eyes he brushed it off with his hand, before placing his hand thoughtfully under his chin. I robbed my eyes with the back of my palm as I tried to get used to being awake, I remember coming into this room last night, I remember Amelia the really nice house keeper showing me the way to this room, I however do not remember when Diego got here, he wasn’t here when I fell asleep.The bright morning sun was pouring in through the opened window.“What time is it?” I asked with a groggy sleepy voice, I combed my hair out with my fingers, I am sure I look horrible right now, I always look not so great in the morning, I do not my morning face that much now Diego has seen it
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW One thing nobody knows is that I had seen Valentina a long time before that night at Don Carlos’ strip club, I had watched her for a while and decided that she would be mine whether she liked it or not. I would make her mine, she would be perfect, I would break her and then stitch her back to perfection. Back to my idea of perfection, she would be the queen of my empire.I knew then and I still know now that I want her except now it’s a little bit different, now this stupid feeling called love has began to cloud my thinking, this need to protect Valentina has destroyed my initial intention to break her. I can not escape this feeling sadly, I wish I could because this feeling threatens to ruin me. It makes me vulnerable which is something a mafia king myself shouldn’t be, that is the number one golden rule ‘Do not ever be vulnerable, kill the thing that makes you vulnerable’. I killed the one thing that had once made me vulnerable, I killed my old self, the nic
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW Nothing is going to spoil this day. I handed my ringing phone to Christopher our newest recruit, the phone has been ringing non-stop for sometime now, I’m sure it’s just a business call. I don’t care about work for today, all I care about is finding I way to make Valentina forgive me and maybe even possible like or maybe perhaps love me like I maybe perhaps love her.Ewww that sounds very pathetic, I haven’t sounded pathetic in a while, I haven’t sounded pathetic since Daya and even with her I wasn’t this pathetic, I still had a little bit of control and composure, my steeze was completely intact but with Valentina? I don’t know that girl just destroys every bit of composure and steeze I have.“Give your phone to Christopher, he will return it when we get back from our trip.” I said to Valentina immediately Christopher held the car door open for us to step out of. She looked puzzled, a lot hesitant and a lot suspicious about what I might do to her when she doesn
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW I sat opposite Diego on the private jet, a private jet! I have never even flown business class in my life before not to talk about first class or even a private jet! I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, it felt awkward staring at him, him staring at me, we both don’t have our phones with us so we cannot even pretend to be distracted.I looked out through the window and watched the jet climb over the clouds, I got a little bit lost in my thoughts. Everything feels a bit out of place, I am in a jet with a man I’m pretty sure I should hate, Headed for an unknown destination, I sit here with him not knowing what his plans are, not knowing what he is going to do to me at this unknown destination.And Ava… my daughter, I haven’t seen her in two weeks. I miss my daughter, I miss her calling me mom, I miss her laughter and everything, I don’t even know if I would ever see my daughter again, I don’t know what he (Diego) would do to me or even her if I ask to see Ava.
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “Please stay away from me.” I said with tears in my eyes, with my face looking scared and helpless. I looked at him, looked into his eyes as I sought his sympathy. “Please.” I said again hugging my knees with my hands around it wishing I could shrink and then disappear. I looked up at him, my vision was a lot blurry from how teary my eyes were. He had a smile on his face but his expression remained unreadable, he his going to do it anyway, I thought with a helpless sigh. “I haven’t done this with anyone else except… just be gentle please.” I said, sadly deciding to accept my fate. Raphael was my first, my only really except for that little fooling around that happened with Desmond. Being with someone else especially when I really don’t want to feels uncomfortable, like it shouldn’t be, like it isn’t right, a part of me feels like I am cheating on Raphael even though he was the one that literally sold me to Walter. “I will, I promise.” Walter said. I closed my
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
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW Sometimes life hits you with an unexpected presence, you ask for one person and it provides you with that person and the one person you never knew you wanted to see, I looked at Valentina without the face covering, she looked innocent with her eyes closed and her hands balled into a fist, nobody would ever believe that this innocent looking Angel is nothing but a murderer, that she is so fake, nobody would believe that this innocent look is nothing but a façade, a charade to hide the real untrustworthy blood sucker that she is.I was genuinely surprised to have her in my presence, I had only sent for Giovanni, that weak spineless bastard who had disrespected my cousin, I wanted to teach him a lesson, I am still deciding if I should just maim him or kill him, I am leaning more towards killing him so that Isla can find another replacement, maybe the one Isla finds for my cousin Leilani would be much better and if he isn’t his body would be burnt up just like Giova
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW Maybe Leanor decided to kidnap Giovanni a lot earlier than tomorrow? But why then didn’t she let me in on her plan? I am confused about all this, I shouldn’t have been kidnapped with them! The plan was to get him alone and somehow get him to the docks and Leanor’s guys will already be there to take over! And it was supposed to happen tomorrow not today! The models were not meant to be kidnapped, nobody else was supposed to get hurt just Giovanni.I almost leaned over to tell the masked men that there had been some kind of mistake! That Leanor had clearly instructed that only Giovanni be kidnapped, I was about to inform them of their mistake when I heard one of them say.“Master Diego wants them to be there really soon, he would not tolerate any delays.” The masked man said. I literally froze, Diego? How did he know where I was? Is he monitoring me? What does he want from me? Is he going to kill me this time? Has he somehow decided to let me have my daughter
