Thierry POV
I smiled at the quick agreement of the girl; it seems she hasn't understood the type of dark world she has been ushered into. What a naive soul.At first, I was angry at my father for buying another slave for our establishment, but after seeing the beauty of this one, I think he made a good decision.Many of our seductresses have been killed by our competitors, leaving only one beauty goddess, who goes by the name Jahi.She has been serving the vipers since childhood, and I don't think anyone can suppress her seductive skills, but there was something intriguing about this new girl that makes me wonder.My attention returned when I saw the guard my father instructed to go and do something, although I already know what is going to happen and I doubt the girl knows what is coming for her by agreeing to my father's words like a fool. What an idiot.The guard walked to where she was tied and removed the rope from her body, causing her to grasp in joy."Now strip!" My father's voice echoed in the atmosphere, and I grin mischievously when I see the girl's shocking expression."What?" I heard her yell in surprise."What were you expecting?" "Did I buy you for free? Please strip; I want to see the goods I bought." My father's tired voice came out, although he isn't tired."Please, sir, don't do this to me. I can do something else for you, not this." Her pleading voice resounded in the closed room.
"Tsk-tsk!" I kiss my tongue in pity; she looks pitiful, and I must say, I'm enjoying the scene. It's been a long time since I got such an entertainment.Without wasting much time, I stood up on my feet to do my favorite job. I could sense the fear in the girl's eyes; her gray eyes were covered with tears, and her body was shaking heavily like a drenched rat.Without any warnings, I tore out her gown; which came off easily as it is a made of poor quality, leaving her with only her underwear. The sight of her flawless skin and her beautiful curves engulfed my sight. causing me to lick my lips subconsciously.I froze in shock when my eyes caught a familiar birthmark in the middle of her cleavage, and I quickly placed my finger there as if I were memorizing something."This can't be," I mumbled to myself in confusion, but a slap landed on my face before I could draw any conclusions."Tsk!" I staggered back with one hand on my check before I growled at her.
"How dare you, peasant!" I shouted at her and pulled her arm firmly, causing her to wince in pain.
"Let go of her, Thierry; do you want to damage my new treasure?" I heard my father say, and I quickly let go before walking out of the room.
_____&&&&_____I barge into my room, "Damn!" I punched the wall in rage, but my eyes quickly turned soft as I remembered something.
"The birthmark! "How could she have it?" I ruffled my hair in confusion.
"Am I overthinking things or what?" "Anisha died some years ago; it can't be her; did she change her face or something?" Several questions kept on piling in my mind.I rushed into my secret room, walking towards a big portrait picture of a young girl with brown eyes hanging on the wall.The clothes she wore were skimpy, which made most of her body features visible. She was smiling, just like the shining sun.
"Anisha!" I whispered her name as my heart tugged in pain; it has been two years since I lost her.
She was my first love, a girl I loved at first sight, and it breaks my heart not to see her again.
The agony I felt at her dismissal is still fresh in my heart, and I curse myself day and night for not being able to save her.
The incident that led to her death—the damn bastard who murdered her in cold blood—is still visible in my head.
I couldn't do anything that day because the man was a powerful figure, a person that can't be dared. Even my father warned me to let go because the man is powerful enough to shred us to pieces.Although I let it go at that moment, I have sworn with my life to avenge her death.
I sipped the tears that were threatening to fall from my face before looking at her picture again.
"Tell me, love, did you return to me?" "Or you are simply playing a prank on me?" I asked in a soft tone while caressing the picture of her.
"Tell me you aren't pulling a stunt, love," my voice was slowly rising.
"Tell me who the fuck she is!" I shouted this time with my hand folded into a fist."Young master!" A sudden voice interrupted me, and I quickly wiped the tears off my face. Nobody is permitted to see me like this.
"Master Air said you should come to the squad base; he said he wants to go and introduce the new member to the rest," the person informed me before I heard the faint footsteps leaving the room.
I sigh before exiting the room and then i lock the door.
I quickly freshened up before wearing another clean pant. Picking up my gun, I tucked it at the back of my pant before picking up my long sleeve shirt and worn it.I buttoned it and left the two upper ones unbuttoned to reveal a little amount of my blue flames tattoo. I put on my diamond wristwatch, and picked up my cellphone before exiting my room.
Waking outside of my father's condominium, I entered my white Lamborghini and drove to the location of the Viper's base that was located in the outskirts part of the city.HOUR'S LATER..... Thierry POVAll the gangster members gathered at the vipers' base, waiting for their boss." jack! Do you have any idea what this meeting was called for!?" One of the members asked his colleagues as he sensed the tense atmosphere."Honestly; Bobby I don't know, this meeting was called too sudden, and I don't think it gives a good omen." He replied."I hope you handled the operation successfully?" He added."Of course, you should know I will not allow my head to be chopped off tonight," the former replied."Fine, fine, but I can't help but be nervous. I am very sure somebody's head would be chopped off tonight." FEW MINUTES LATER..There was silence immediately. My father and I walked in with a commanding and dreadful demeanor.The people could feel the dangerous aura emitting from each of our footsteps, like demons who are about to feast on their prey.Bobby could not help but mutter, "Aah!" "Somebody would surely die tonight."His colleagues' bodies shivered in fe
Lilith POVI widened my eyes in shock as I saw the scene unfold right in front of my naked eyes, and now I know life is not all roses.Who would have thought that something like this exists in our era? If you don't know, then it's time to believe it, whether you like it or not.I gulp my saliva as if felt like puking because of the bloody scene.I gripped the new dress that was given to me to wear after that shameless man tore my clothes out of my body."It's time to go," I heard someone say to me before my eyes were blindfolded again and I was dragged away to a place I don't know and can't see.____&&&&______JAHI POVIn the city of Lagos at dusk, the clacking sounds of heels could be heard.I walk as fast as my legs can take me in the direction of my room.I ferociously licked the droplets of blood that rolled down to my cheeks.I wouldn't lie and say that it didn't taste good. I love drinking the blood of my enemies.I am JAHI, known for the meaning of my name, the goddess of poiso
Lilith POVI was pushed into a particular room in the Vipers' mansion by two muscular men.I didn't protest but allowed the wickedness of the world to descend on me; besides, what could a Dan girl like me do? a cheap peasant that was sold!I dragged my bare feet across the marble floor of the small room.I look around the surrounding area to see which type of cage I have been pushed into.A small room that had a small bed placed in the corner and a small wardrobe.The room had only one large window that was located a few meters from the bed.There is nothing fancy about the room; in fact, if not for the beautiful interior it had, there would have been no difference between this room and the one in my home.Speaking about my home causes a pain to flash across my mind. I have been holding back the urge to cry for a long time now.I found my way to the edge of the bed and sat down, allowing the tears to pour down freely."How did I end up here?" "I was having a promising life with Jason.
Lilith POVMy half-dead body scrawled to the corner of the wall of a type of cell. I was thrown into a pitch-dark room.The room, according to them, is called a confinement room; it has a big iron door and a small hole that was craved to allow the light of the world to penetrate in; the stench of blood made it more difficult to breath as it lacked ventilation.My messy hair was glued in my bloody face, and the dried blood in my body makes me smell like a dead rat.I haven't taken my bath for the past one week now, I hardly eat, and I was only fed once in two days.I was feeling weak and extremely sick; the pain I feel right now can't be described with any words.My world felt torn apart; I was brutally beaten and almost killed because of what I did.AWHILE AGO.....I was dragged by the two women out of my room.I suddenly felt a push, and the next thing I felt was the texture of a car seat.I was badly wondering where they were taking me to, at this ungodly hour of the night, and to t
LilithI felt fear run down my spine with the sound of the door opening and closing, which means Flora has left, leaving me in this room alone with a complete stranger.I have been listening to their little conversation and I felt a little relaxed. Because of the warm words of the man, I guess he must have a kind heart, but I don't know why fear engulfed me immediately after Flora left.I thought we came together; why did she leave without me?"So, what's your name?" I heard the man with the creaky voice ask a question, but I didn't reply. I prefer to stay quiet."C'mon, don't be a difficult girl for Daddy; Daddy cares okay." His words were slurred by the wind that circulated the atmosphere of the room."What's your name, Angel?" "My name is Lilith, sir," I answered when his soothing voice enticed my ear. I think I should not be rude towards him; who knows, he might help me escape the evil clutches of the vipers?"Wow! "What a beautiful name for a damsel, please can you stand up for
Lilith POVA pair of cold, bloodshot eyes stare back at me; if eyes could kill, I'm sure I would be dead by now.No wonder this place looks so familiar; it is because it's the mansion belonging to my owner, the man I was sold to, "Don Air."My orb fell on Flora, who was kneeling on the floor. Her hair was messy, and I could see bruises from her shoulder down to her arms, making me wonder what happened to her."I gave you a job to do, and you messed it up, huh?" The cold voice of Don Air was forwarded to Flora.He stomped his feet on her body continuously, and her screams and cries filled the atmosphere, bringing nothing but horror."Master, please! Oh, please!" She cried in pain as she continued to get hit; her body was somersaulting on the floor.I look around the large sitting room, wondering why nobody is helping by stopping this cruel master or even pleading on her behalf, but I see few with pitiful expressions.My gaze met the man known as Thierry, the man's son. For awhile, I fo
"Who is there!?" I asked with a shaking voice. I couldn't see because the room was too dark, so I could only rely on my tongue.The figure walked to me and hunkered down beside my feet."How are you doing, angel?" Thierry's luring voice spoke into my ear, and my muscles tightened in horror."Don't be scared; I'm not going to bite." "I will be traveling to the states for some important work; Flora will be in charge of teaching you the basic things you need to know; when I come back, I will do the touch-up and brush you up perfectly to my taste; till then, be a good girl, okay?" "I don't want to come back and see your dead body six feet under the ground." He said so and rose from his feet.And the next thing I heard was the door closing after his fainting footsteps."How dare he!" "Do I look like a piece of commodity being moved from one hand to another!?" I screamed in anger and clenched my fist tight, causing my knuckles to appear very pale due to the absence of blood.After another
Unfortunately or fortunately, I was dragged into my old room, the one I was given on the first day I was brought here."Go and have your bath, then put on that dress that is on the bed, and please make it fast; we will be waiting for you outside." One of them gave instructions before leaving the room.I drag my sore feet to the bathroom, walking into it and stepping into the bathtub.I turned on the shower to allow the sweet flow of the warm water to wash off the dirt from my skin.After I freshened up, I walked back to the bedroom. I felt refreshed and relaxed. I picked up the lotion from my dressing table and applied it to my skin.I wore the strapless yellow gown and walked out of the room.Immediately I came out, I saw the two men, and they gestured for me to follow them, which I did. It feels good to see the sun rise, which I have been denied for the past month.We got to a large room, although it was a plain room with only a cavader bed and a fireplace that was burning.A large
*Author POV*The Viper's household was buzzing with celebration; after the burial ceremony of their late Don, came the immediate crowning of the next Don for a new regime.Thierry made a glorious walk to the stage with his heavily pregnant wife, Lilith.Cheers and praise filled the atmosphere at the great entry of their new leaders, the Mafia King and the Mafia Queen.Thierry raised his hands high as an indication for Slience: "I have some great news for you all as well as a bad one." He spoke authoritatively."I know you all have been wishing for such a day, a day where you will be free from this bondage of the Viper's organization." He starts his speech."What I am about to say is a decision I have thought of day and night, and I have come to the conclusion that you all deserve it. From now on, the organization known as the Great Viper's will be temporarily disbanded until further notice!" He announced, causing an uproar to fill the air; he could see people arguing and raining curse
*Lilith POV*I was ushered into a huge bedroom, where I stumbled upon a set of sexy clothes with the note, "Get sexy for me!" I felt like poking, seeing the disgusting note, but I have to fight myself to stay strong, if not for anything but for the sake of my baby.I scan the room, hoping to see an escape route, but unfortunately I can't pinpoint any. The window was off limits because it's built like a cell window, with rods crossing each other.I bite the bottom of my lips, stomping my foot on the floor, clearly frustrated. I prayed for what felt like forever for someone to come to my rescue. I can't stand that old hag laying his hands on me. I would rather die."Oh baby!" The door cracked open, revealing the devil himself. I scooted away from his approach before he could raise those stinking hands of his to touch me."C'mon! Be good to daddy."He chimed, coming closer to me while I continued to step back. "Stay away from me, old man!" I yelled but got a terrifying slap in return."I
*Thierry POV*The fool thought that just because he has given me such a beating, I'm good as dead, but that was his costly mistake.As soon as he left me for a moment to go and reload his gun, I summoned my strength and lunged for him from behind.I throw out my fist, hitting him on the nose till it broke to my satisfaction. I throw my fist again to his side, but he dodges it, throwing out his, hitting me straight in the eye. I wince and kick his gorin. I aim for his left, kicking his ass out, then duck, tackling him to the ground.I brought out my pistol and blew off his brain, killing him on the spot. I stood up, brought out a handkerchief, and cleaned up the blood from my body.I made a body twist, whining my shoulders to an unknown song as I whistled forward to get another opponent.The sound of bullets didn't stop going off in the atmosphere, as did the sound of pain and cries. I got to a particular door and took out the goons without much difficulty."Welcome!" A proud voice gre
*Thierry POV*After learning about what I did last night, I felt so awful and decided to make it up to her.I asked Boris what I could offer to my wife for hurting her, but his dumb brain was worse in the aspect of women than mine, so I quickly did research online, and after so many ridiculous ideas, I settled for bouquets of flowers and some luxurious sets of jewelry with her name engraved on them beautifully.Getting to the base, I was delayed a bit with an emergency about Jahi missing from the base as well as some of our weapons.After taking care of the issue a bit, I decided to head to my room to see my woman before going back. "Babydoll! Babydoll!" I called out sweetly but got no response.I searched the entire room but couldn't find her. I didn't know when panic began to sip in, but I didn't allow it to get to my head. I guess she must be somewhere in the household.Seconds passed into minutes and minutes into hours, but Lilith couldn't be found, her whereabouts unknown."Bang!
*Lilith POV*My eyes flutter open, followed by a pang of pain. I didn't know what happened; what I could only remember was that I was hit by a stranger, but the stranger felt farmilar."Hello! Who is here?"I called out, using the last straw of my strength. My orbs studied the room in which I was placed; it felt more like a cell. My body was covered in dirt, and my legs were chained, leaving my body with only underwear and being placed on the cold floor.My mind felt fuzzy, but I tried to keep my eyes open. Whatever this is, it's very dangerous, and I can bet I'm not in the viper's household.After awhile, the door finally opened, and a masked figure entered, holding a plate of food."Who are you, and why am I here?" I questioned the guard but received no response from him; he just gestured for me to eat and left."God have mercy," I mumble in shaky breath. It didn't take long before I was fetched from the room, heading to God knows where. I simply followed them quietly till we got to
*Lilith POV*Everything happened just in a twinkle of an eye; the party ended in a blissful state despite the whole drama earlier. I wish this day never ends.Thierry and I were escorted to his room. Since we are now married,I guess I have to now share the same room with him."Need some help!?" He asked sweetly, seeing me struggling to take off the wedding dress, I gave a tired nod.He came forward and helped me undress, clean the make-up on my face, and pack my hair neatly into my hair net.We took a quick bath and were ready to go to sleep. I smiled at the bed covered with red roses and the beautiful sexy lingerie that was kept on the side. I guess whoever decorated this wanted us to have a memorable night."Get clothed and go to sleep, okay?" He spoke casually, as if he were going out for some serious business."Are you going out?" I couldn't stop myself from asking, and he raised an eyebrow at me. I didn't mean to act or be perceived as clinging just because we are now married; I
*Author POV*Thierry carefully took the hands of his bride, leading her up to the podium. A resounding clap escalates in the air as soon as the bride and groom meet each other on the podium."You look so stunning!" Thierry complimented with joy; he was feeling happy and glad that he was about to get married to the woman of his dreams."And you too, love." Lilith smiled nervously, still feeling wary about the crowd.The guests give their full attention as the bride and groom recite their vows, exchange rings, and sign the marriage certificate. The priest conducting the wedding blesses them before pronouncing them husband and wife.Cheers continue to blow off in the air with congrating compliments. Thierry went forward to raise the vein to kiss his bride. Sounds of gunshots resound in the air as he took his wife into a warm embrace, kissing her so passionately.They turned to face the crowd, and right that moment, the gunshots stopped, the cheers and congrats stopped, and everyone was b
*Author POV*It is the day everyone has been waiting for—a day where the next in line will be getting married.The Viper's household has been beautifully decorated, ravishing in luxury and perfection.All important, powerful, and well-respected mob leaders and their families in all walks of life have been invited to come and witness this great day.All arrangements have been made, and the guest could be seen flooding in, looking classy and powerful.The men dressed up in a classic striped tuxedo and a Snow White shirt, some with suspenders. While the ladies put on a sleek red gown with their hair done like a la cabaret hairstyle,The car park was filled with different colors of luxurious retro cars, giving off the power of the mafia clans.The whole vicinity was heavily guarded with armed goons, waiting to mess with anybody who dared disrupt the process of the ceremony.The guests were seated respectfully, the melody of jazz music entertained the guests, and as much as it was a weddin
*Lilith POV*Days fly by so fast. Everyone was so busy preparing for Thierry's big day, which was also my big day. I can't still believe he wants to risk getting married to someone like me.I put on casual wear, a cargo pant, a sweatshirt, and ankle boots. I took one last look at myself in the mirror before exiting my room. I am going to see Jenny in order to discuss the switching plans; she is the only one that I can trust to keep the secret and help me out on that day.I bumped into Thierry unexpectedly; he was looking dead serious as well as drained. One could see the bags under his eyes. I know he has been working his ass out lately. "Hey, you look stressed." I uttered it worriedly."Yeah, we are working on keeping everyone safe; besides, we have a traitor in our means." My mind went back to what I saw—the encounter between Leonard and Jahi—but I don't really know if I should let him know; besides, I haven't confirmed it yet."Is there anything you want to tell me?" I snap out of
