I folded the clothes and put them in the small bag. I folded a singlet and then paused to think of what else I needed to add.The door squeaked open and Luciano strode in. I turned in his direction and frowned. “Why didn’t you knock?” I asked him.He scoffed and that made me frown more. “What the hell is funny Luciano? You came into my room without knocking.”“You have to relax,” he said non chalantly. “There’s no big deal, besides are you trying to run away?” He was now pointing at my bags and he laughed as he said it. “Such an asshole,” I cussed under my breath.“I heard that,” Luciano said.“Well I’m glad.” I paused and turned back to face him. “But really, you should learn to knock. I could have been naked or even fixing my tampons.”“I’ve seen it all,” he smirked. “all of you and you wont be needing any tampon.”A grim line appeared on my face and I squeezed my jaw. “You know what? just get out of here aleady!”“Hey, easy. Easy Tiff,” he said the moment he noticed I was getting
"gosh! I feel so bloated!"I glanced over at the two dresses on the bed and frowned. I didn't know which to wear and that alone was making me feel mad. I held the blue gown and it looked at it one more time.I turned to pick up the turtle neck top and tossed it away. Who wears a turtle neck top and skinny jeans to a party? That shit look like what to wear to a class or church."So annoying!" I groaned.Even if anyone did, I didn't want to be part of that. I hit my forehead gently and looked at the blue gown.I wore it carefully and then looked at myself in the mirror but then—"What are you doing?" I asked the moment I sighted Luciano from behind.He smiled softly and then wrapped his hands around his arms. "Just watching you."I scoffed because I didn't need anyone watching me look so confused and irritated and unable to pick an outfit."What's the matter?" Luciano asked looking around. I already made a mess of the whole room and I still has a bunch of dresses on my bed that I hadn'
MASSIMO'S POVI looked around and spotted Luciano. He looked so calm and handsome in his black sleeves. Damn! My man is always not, even as kids, he was cute and hot.He opened some buttons on his shirt, giving him a hot look. A small smile was forming on my lips when I brushed it off. I wished he would see how much I care about his happiness. But this time, I would chose his happiness for him.I needed to keep a straight face and get to work. He kept looking at a particular spot and when I followed his line of vision, I saw it was Tiffany.He was staring or should I say watching out for Tiffany as she danced with Gladys. That was cute so I took calculated strides to where he sat.I stood there and he looked lost looking at her. He didn't seem to notice someone was standing beside him for some minutes until I cleared my throat.He turned to me immediately and I clapped my hands gently. He looked so good and it wasn't even consciously.He licked his lips in a split second and frowned.
The moment I got home, I threw my keys on the table and gave an audible sigh. I had no idea how else to calm myself down.I reached for my pockets and brought out my phone. I dialled my father’s number and waited for him to pick up the call.When the call kept ringing without him picking, I swallowed hard and used my hands to trace my hair. I waited for a moment before I called again and luckily, he picked this time.“Father—“ I called hastily. “I’m.. I’m ready,” I told him and held my hand in a fist. “You’re not sure,” he said.“Father I’m sure.” I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. “I’m ready and i—I have a request.”“Which is?”“I want my mother released from the dungeon. That is my demand and—”His laughter from the other end was audible and chaotic. He ended the call without a response so I felt triggered.I threw my phone away and cussed at him. He want Tiffany for my mother and I have her! Well, Gladys technically have her for now.I lowered myself to the couch and trie
I kept running without any destination in mind. All I knew was that I needed to get away from the mess I made. I stumbled and fell down on the floor. I was panting really hard but I still managed to stand up and continue running.I turned to check my back to see if anyone was following me and just as I turned back, I fell down and realized I was falling into a pit.“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” I yelled and sprawled up only to see that I was in a car. Shit! I placed my hand on my chest and took a deep breath.That was scary as hell so I just rested my head on the headrest carefully. I couldn’t remember much but after the incident that happened yesterday, I grew uneasy. I ran out to throw up and passed out. I looked by my side and realized I was with one of my men.“Boss,” he called when he turned to me. “are you okay?”I had no idea which response to give because I was sure as hell not okay.“You’re safe now,” he said. “Uh the men—”“Where’s Antonio? Where are the rest?” I asked th
I sat in the back seat of the jet waiting for it to take off. I knew I was safe, at least to an extent, but still I couldn't take my eyes off the door, scared that at any moment someone would barge in and shoot me with a bullet straight to the head. "The police are still trying to determine," I zoned out. I had had enough of seeing my house in the news. "The owner of the house," these words caught my ear and I couldn't be more thankful I was smart enough not to have it bought in my name.I envisioned my pictures around the country with the words wanted and probably a bounty put on my head, that would be hell. "Seventeen casualties," I was lying to myself, I couldn't stop watching the news. Staring right ahead at the screen, I watched two girls give an account of what they remembered about the party. "It all started with a fight between two girls," one of the girls started. "Yeah, I think it was because of a man. Not so sure," the other girl who looked like she was trying so hard
TIFFANY POV"What's this?" I questioned internally.My body was weak and tired and I felt as though I would break if I moved even an inch from my present position. The ropes cutting deep into my wrists made matters even worse.I was in darkness, absolute darkness, or perhaps there was light I couldn't tell. "Where was I?" The last thing I remember was dancing with Gladys and the lights going off."Was I still at the house?" I thought to myself. Why then am I tied up and blindfolded. Nothing made any sense to me at this point.I blocked out my thoughts and listened in waiting for any sound of some sort or anything to help me detect where exactly I was, but there was none. My breath control was no longer effective, I was scared, scared to a pulp.Any longer and I would probably develop a panic attack, but for now I needed to keep myself under control."Deep breaths can solve any problem," this phrase cannot really be traced to anyone, but that was the first thing in my head and I decid
My eyes slightly opened and I yawned too. I tried to stretch but the bed felt differently. I opened my eyes completely and my jaw dropped.I was in a different room. A room different from all the rooms I’ve been in since I was a child. I swallowed hard and tried to think. The room was painted brown with little or no designs. There was a white curtain, a bed and a table. I looked around and my eyes darted the room. There was a small table by the side and a tray of food was left on the table.I swallowed hard as I took the blanket off my body and placed my leg on the cold floor. There was no way I’d eat that food. It could have been poisoned and lord knows what. My stomach grumbled and I knew I was starving but eating that food was my last option. There was nothing that could make me eat from it. The aroma of the food made me feel uneasy so I used my leg to kick down the table and the food fell to the floor. I stood up and looked around trying to find an escape route. The windows w
