ELENA'S POVMy eyes flew open and I felt a sudden wave of headache which made me confused for I didn't even know why I was, I tried to get up but someone's hands were against my waist which was weird because I don't have anyone that I sleep with in the same bed space.I didn't want to scream so I slowly turned around and saw Ciro peacefully sleeping behind me which made me realize that I was in his jail cell, in the middle of the night and how I was still in here I can't figure it out."Ciro?""I'm already awake." his voice made a jump "...Sorry for startling you." he let go of my waist and stood up before I did the same thing."How am I still here?""Because you came in here drunk this morning.""Drunk?""You ordered tea from the shop at the end of the street. That shop doesn't sell tea but rather alcohol and I don't know if your sense of smell got lost there but you drank it and goodness! Don't you dare ever drink again especially when you are coming here.""I'm sorry, I didn't..."
ELENA'S POVThe moment I opened the door to the house, Carolina attacked me and as though I wasn't expecting it I panicked and I knew too well that she noticed and I was screwed."Are you ok?" She asked as she move away"Yeah, I just got startled." I lied and she gave me a look which I knew too well."Firstly, you never panic even if I attack you. Secondly you are such a bad liar now how about you tell me what happened there.""It's nothing, I just got drunk accidentally.""He touched you." I froze the moment I heard that I turned to look at her like I was hurt by what she said."No he didn't." I continued to walk inside and I heard her shut the door."Elena, he touched you and he tried to do...""No he didn't.""You wouldn't sleep with anyone because even the thought of that terrifies you, what makes you think you could freeze and panic the moment I touch you and I wouldn't know that someone tried it again?" I burst into tears as I went on my knees in regret, shame name it all. I w
CIRO'S POVIt's been two weeks since Elena came here and sleeping has been the hardest thing I had to do. I couldn't sleep even if I badly needed it. All I did was pace from left to right. I had asked Griffin if she was in town but he had no idea either.Sitting down on my rocky bed and rock myself back and forth while thinking of what I did to her, I don't know why I always did that whenever I was close to her, the first time I kissed her it wasn't an accident I had done on purpose and though she was angry she was also in shock that I did it.I had covered everything up in a smile because I was just teasing her like I did to every girl that chooses to do business or anything with me. She happened to be my psychiatrist and she was nothing like I expected.Trust me I was not happy that I got a psychiatrist because I wanted to be left alone like I always wanted to be ever since I was child for I was left alone but she was hit headed and didn't want to leave me alone.I was completely fl
ELENA'S POV"What happened to him? And what took you to the cell?""I don't know if you knew where you went and while I was talking to him he went unconscious, he hasn't slept in days and he doubts if he has eaten.""What did the doctor say?""He is malnutritious and that he hasn't had rest in a while." We got into the car and I drove out of the driveway and down the familiar path of the hospital."Ciro eats and sleeps on a daily basis, yeah I know that he doesn't eat breakfast sometimes and that's because he is irritated but why hasn't eaten for days and no one complained about it because someone must have noticed he wasn't eating.""Perhaps he has been worried.""Worried?! About what?""You! You kept everyone in suspense of where you were and imagine the situation that he is in. He did something to you and he badly wanted to apologize again and again till you forgive him for what he did to you.""Does he really think I'll be happy if he doesn't sleep and eat?""Elena why can't you s
CIRO'S POVMy eyes flew open as I heard the sound of the door opening and Elena walked in along with Griffin and his keys, these two people will be the end of me without a doubt, I just asked for a moment but no the minute they live they walk bad in like I didn't ask them to leave me alone seconds ago."What is it now?" "You're going home." my eyes lit up at the sound of that, I was finally getting out of this crappy place and going back to the comfort of my darkness."Thank the heavens for finally answering my prayers." "You are so dramatic.""Oh hell no! That's not the case, this place smells like medicine, there's no one to pick a fight with, there's no warden to trouble, Griffin over here can bore someone to death and your voice keeps annoying me every single day." she gasped."I am awfully offended by your words, that's not a way to talk to a woman!" "Well I think I don't remember reading a book of etiquette to learn that, I didn't know who my mother was and my father was a ba
ANTON'S POVI hung up and immediately walked out of the house. I might not know Elena that much but if there's one thing I learnt while having conversations with my father then it's the fact that he does joke with her patients no matter who it was except for Keith who she wouldn't even go near.The moment I got to the hospital I saw them cleaning the blood traces. The FBI's and police men were allowed to shock the prisoner when extremely angry and shocking was really something that Ciro was used to but no one was allowed to do that when the patient is under medications or being treated at hospital before it might cause an effect.Walking towards Elena's cabin I came across my father and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as to why I was there."What's going on?""It's the FBI and Ciro, Elena called me.""Why?""You know how Elena can really be about her patient and she already threatened to kill the FBI for what he had done.""Is she crazy?""Not at all, she cares and the FBI was c
ELENA'S POVStaring at the FBI agent, who had initiated the shock on Ciro that led him to coma, there is this irresistible urge within me to strangle him to death, but with the presence of Anton, I had to keep my emotions in check."You do know that your act today was very unprofessional?" Anton asked the young man, who looked like he could pass out immediately. "Apologies sir, there was every reasonable doubt to believe he was going to act dangerously" His statement triggered the hidden anger beneath, that i didn't know when. I moved forward to smack him in the face."Accepted that Ciro is the world's deadliest criminal, but I have constantly revealed the fact that he has emotion and this makes him human..." The FBI agent, who had Caleb written in his tag, had a look of remorse "Ordinarily, you would lose your job at the spot, but Anton has decided that if Ciro is able to wake up and no harm is recorded, then you keep your job. Otherwise you are going to have to drop your badge" "G
Elena P.O.VThe moment I woke up, I was drawn back by the weight of the shackles that had been placed on my leg. Where am I? I wondered, trying to take in my environment.This is a bedroom and not just any bedroom, a very familiar bedroom that began to send shivers down my skin as I began to connect the dots together."Yes my dear, you are smart and I love it." Alas! The one voice that I most dreaded, heightened my sensory organs to a whole new level."Keith!" I said that word with so much fear as he moved forward to stare at me with a smile on his face. "For weeks I have been scheming a way to get you my precious doll." I shook my head away from his touch. His aura screamed so much danger and the more I tried to wriggle free from those unforgiving chains, the more I felt pain."Wait a minute, why am I dressed in these clothes?" I noticed some old fashioned sort of clothes hanging to my body. The type English women wore in the regency era, while trying to be consummated to a groom. "B
Ominicient P.O.V There was no idea coming forth and so, she alluded his change in mood to his constant mood swings, which Elena had already gotten used to. She may not like Carl or find him remotely alluring, but it didn't change the fact that her relevancy and the life of her son Kastos, lay before his feet. Sometimes, Elena was cautious not to piss him off, knowing the extent Carl can go in proving a point that he is above everybody. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately turn to stare at the child once again and that was when she realized what he had actually seen. Elena had doubts to her thoughts but the striking resemblance was too obvious to be ignored by any same person. Could it be? She thought to herself. There was no way he was behind this because he wouldn't be begging to have her back. Knowing that he could easily have sex with her in the club. Her thoughts also went back to Romeo; he was the only person that could make out Fred's face. She will be needing
Ominicient P.O.VIt had been days since Ciro met Elena at the school library and he wondered if she had successfully enquired from her parents, the origin of the scar on her arm. Eating pancakes which had been prepared by Sofia, he felt his phone buzzed and picked up almost immediately."Good day boss" the deep voice of Lucifer spoke through the other end."Yea""We have bad news" Ciro stiffened for a while; could there have been another problem at his warehouse? He wondered to himself."What is it?""Dave is dead!" He began choking on the water he was drinking to calm his nerves. Sofia ram from the kitchen to the dining table to help him get through the process."What did you say?" Ciro asked in disbelief."I regret to say that Dave has passed on""What happened to him? Did he got shot by anyone?" Ciro asked while Sofia watched her husband carefully."No sir, it is suicide" "Suicide? Dave doesn't appear to be one to commit suicide" He couldn't imagine his long time friend having to
Dear ViolaThank you for all the pain you have cost me, I thought we could go through this life together and live as one but it turns out, you have already made your choice. I don't have anything to live for Viola, you are all I ever had and it will remain that way but I guess, loving people brings out their your weakness. Anyways, I am writing this message because after this, I would be gone forever, I would no longer be in your live again. You can have Lucifer to yourself and I do hope he cares for you like you pointed out. Till we meet by the other side.Dave. "Shit" Viola sprang up to her feet, puffing out a smoke and throwing the remaining tray of cigarettes on the floor"What is happened?" Lucifer asked confused at her sudden reaction."We need to go now! Dave might have fucked himself up" Lucifer eyes widened in shock. He stood up to his feet, dusting off the dusts off his trousers and throwing away his own cigarettes and followed Viola as the
Ominicient P.O.VOnce Elena finished listening to the history revolving round her cut wrist, she was speechless. She could believe she had been part of a gang since a very tender age. "And few years later, the leader of the death squad Carlos, died and now the new leader Tevez has been on the hunt to search for you" "So the death squad's name was changed to the Skull gang?" She asked looking up to her father. Herman had the same look of disbelief laced on his face. His wife had never informed him of the entire story revolving the cut wrist and now he is getting to know, he felt pissed."I am sorry I never told you darling, I couldn't bring myself to telling you that our daught was a godmother in one of he notorious gang" Elena watched as tears rolled down on her mom's cheek. She struggled to stand up and go meet her mother."I understand mother,I truly do" Elena was confused herself, she might have claimed she understood, but in the real sense, it didn't make sense to her."And now,
Evening came and Elena was on her way to her parents home. It was an hour drive from Carl's home to her parents home. When she arrived, she noticed the scenery of the entire house had changed. The presence of flowers were visible and Elena could not think of any other person who had beautified the house with flower than her mom.When her mother opened up the door, she was shocked to see Elena was with a baby."Why didn't you tell me" Her mom asked feeling hurt."Alot of things happening in my life mom, it didn't occured to me that I needed to inform you about this" Elena pointed out."Come in, your father has been waiting for you" Her mom paved way for her and the escort Carl had assigned to her.When Elena noticed her father's reaction, she simply felt emotional; it had been truly long she saw her old man. He had grown white hairs across the layers of his hair and Elena could notice the wrinkles on his face."Father" She said going down to hug him."You are with baby?" Of course thos
Ominicient P.O.VIt was the second day of Romeo having to stay at Doris apartment and she had to admit, camping Romeo wasn't a bad idea after all, it only showed her how much she missed having to talk to someone."Have you ever thought of entering a relationship before?" Romeo was startled by her question; it was the first time Doris would be the one asking the questions."Uhmm... Yes I guess?" He said absentmindedly as he dealt with the spaghetti sauce that was prepared by Doris'"So you' ve had relationships before?" Romeo chuckled; his past life was a thing he had always hoped will never come out for discussion as he hated everything that had to do with it."I had this girl I dated years ago, I loved her so much that I could do anything for her and I mean it literally" He watched as Doris listened attentively."So what happened to you two?" "Well she broke up with me on the ground of not satisfying her sexually" Romeo didn't know why he was even telling her the story but it felt g
Ominicient P.O.VIt was past ten at night when a call woke Carl up from sleep; apparently he hadn't been having enough sleep and it irked him that someone had to wake him up from his beauty sleep."Yeah, who is this" Carl asked after yawning"Boss, Romeo has escaped!" The moment Carl heard that, he became wild awake."What are you talking about!" "We came back to base and discovered he is gone" Carl was shocked; how on earth had he escaped? He wondered to himself."Okay then, listen real quick, i need you to get all the men to search around the entire arena, we need to get to the buttom of this immediately" He couldn't allow Romeo escape, he needed him to know the location of the file."Yes boss" "And don't forget to take him by force, if need be" At this stage, if it was force that was needed, it would be applied."I will do as you have instructed" Carl hanged up immediately, standing to his feet and putting on his pyjamas once more. He needed to smoke; he was never an addict of sm
Ominicient P.O.VRomeo couldn't make out the face of the man but he knew he had heard his voice before. "Apologies for the way my boys treated you earlier on, it's just that what they did is best for business" Romeo watched as the man puffed smokes into the air"Who are you?" He asked out of sheer curiosity"I am surprised that you can't recognize my face" The man suddenly stepped into the light and the moment Romeo saw him, he gasped; aside the fact that he was the same man who had dragged Elena out of the bar he worked, he had a somewhat similar face with Ciro."Do you remember me now?" Carl asked as he bent down to his level. "I know you do" He said patting his head."What do you want from me" Romeo asked as Carl stepped back a bit, taking out a match stick and lighting up his cigarette again."I see you are the type that likes 'straight to the business type of situation'" Carl said with a smile on his face. "Anyways, you happened to have something in your possession that belongs
Ominicient P.O.VOnce he was done packing his luggages, he head out of the room, towards the exit door where his car would be waiting. As he turned towards the last hall before the exit door, he came face to face with Lemar Shrevolsky and his men."Leaving so early" Lemar said as his men aimed their gun at Carl who had no where to run to."You didn't even say good bye" Lemar approached him slowly, he still had a cigarette in his mouth."Nothing would be my greatest achievement at the moment than seeing an elite go down today" For the first time, Carl was scared; he had never been in a situation where he would be utterly defenseless."Oh look, the leader of the elite family is shaking like a wet chicken" He mocked Carl."Shut the fuck up" Carl remarked trying to compose himself; he was certain that his father would be turning in the grave knowing that his son was showing fear to a rival group."Talk all you want Carlson but today, you will die" Carl laughed immediately although he was
