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
DIEGO’S POVI am a beast who enjoys a good time, I mean who doesn’t? Who doesn’t like the fast life? Blinking lights, People who worship you, liquor, the adrenaline rush that comes from ending someone’s life, the knowledge that you have the power to end anyone’s life, the knowledge that that are all puppets at your mercy, all candles that can be easily extinguished by you. You own them all, only death can set them free, that is how that bitch Valentina escaped. That light has been extinguished, she was such a tough cookie so maybe it is for the best.“One thousand dollars anyone?” The auction man on stage with the one night stand slave said. The girl looks uninteresting, the most generic box dyed blonde hair, a boring looking hazel eyes, boring. Her body though, I like how juicy those boobs look, that neck can definitely withstand a bit of choking, that mouth looks like it can take all of me, I would like to trust myself deeply into that pussy from the ba
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
