Tiffany's Desire 141
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's Desire 144
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
Tiffany's Desire 145
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

I sat down quietly on the bed and used my hands to wedge my head. There was so man things going through my head and I couldn’t even think straight. I was thinking of how to get away, what to do and just how to survive another minute in this place. I yawned loudly not because I was sleepy or maybe I was, but the major thing was that I was feeling so hungry.With each yawn, I just got closer to running crazy and I couldn’t even help myself. The door squeaked open and a man walked inside. I turned in his direction immediately and the first thing I noticed was how huge he looked. Fuck, his cologne was horrible and it made me feel nauseous. “Here you go,” he said and pushed a tray of food toward me. I looked at him and he had a stern expression on his face. “You either take it or starve to death.”That was harsh as hell but I tried to act normal and not yell at his face for being a dick. I swallowed the lump in my throat.I had no idea what he even brought but I took it from him. “Than

I stood in the middle of the room like a toy waiting to be bought by a child. My hands were folded forward in anticipation, perhaps I was going somewhere. The door opened to reveal Gladys stepping into the room with a laptop. Right, Massimo. "Ouu, pretty in captivity," she remarked in a voice that failed to match the sweetness of her voice and a not so sweet smile on her face. "Take a seat," she ordered sharply and then opened the laptop. It was connecting to a video call and I could see myself through the screen. I looked stunning really, she must be so jealous."Connected." Immediately Massimo's face came up on the screen, he wasn't looking so good. I could spot wrinkles and some little scars on his face surprisingly, perhaps it was because there was a time I couldn't go a day without staring at his face. Now I absolutely loathed him. Sitting still in the chair with my hands in the middle of my legs, I refused to speak up until he noticed me. The reaction I expected was definite
Tiffany's Desire 148
My weary and hungry eyes was fixed on the tray of food placed before me. The tantalizing aroma of the meal wafted through the air, filling my nostrils and stirring my empty stomach. Hunger gnawed at me irrationally, reminding me that I haadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon when I had last spoken to Massimo. The food before me was a plate of unappetizing colors and textures. A hot lump of potatoes sat next to a piece of steamed broccoli, while a slab of overcooked and garnished chicken laid forlornly on the side. My hunger fought against my reluctance to consume such dish, but I knew I needed to nourish myself or I would die of starvation, it's almost ten and my rumbling stomach might burst soon.Reluctantly, I picked up the fork and began examining the chicken in particular. It looked so golden and full. I had taken one big bite when the door creak and the devil who kept me here came in.I looked up, my gaze meeting the chilling eyes of my unwelcomed visitor and former best frie
