The ride to Mimi's place was awkwardly silent. After he was snubbed, Victor didn't bother to strike up a conversation with her anymore. He had his damn pride as well.Unlike him, Mimi's mind was all over the place. She couldn't let Victor meet her mother. She couldn't tell what he had in mind and that scared her most. If only there was a way to escape this. Looking outside the window, a plan suddenly came to Mimi's mind. What if she jumped out of the car? No! It was dangerous jumping out of a moving car. She could get injured and what if a car from behind crushes her to death. However, the road was surprisingly empty which meant there were few chances of getting killed by an oncoming car. So Mimi began to put her plan into action, her gaze moved to Victor who was busy watching something on his tablet. It was perfect, he was distracted! She slowly shifted on her seat, inching closer to the door. Then her fingers began to travel, climbing higher and higher until they reached the h
"I'm home!" Was the first word Mimi muttered to her mother the instant the door was opened.Mimi noticed every single detail; the way her mother's gaze moved to rest on the figure beside her and when it widened in joy. Mimi didn't need to guess what she was thinking. The matchmaker side of her has been awoken. In full."And this is my boss," Mimi had no choice but to explain when her mother wouldn't stop gawking at him. He wasn't even that handsome.Mimi turned to Victor, "This is my mother, teacher, and mom, this is my teacher," She intentionally omitted his name. Mimi wanted this encounter to be as short and formal as possible. Neither does she want her mother to form any close ties with Victor. He's in the gang for christ's sake."Hi, Mimi's beautiful mother, I'm Victor," He said so smoothly while taking her mother's hand and pressed a kiss to it that made Mimi's jaw almost drop to the ground.No, no, no, her mother can't fall for his charms!"Oh, my," Her mother giggled, obvious
The sound of a man moaning in pain was heard as he received punches after punches. This man was no other than Kenith who was getting a beating from Big Joe's soldiers per his instruction.The room was more of a prison although it was spacious and empty save the chair Kenith was sitting on while he was being tortured and the table a few distances from it. There were body bags packed at a corner and had dried blood stains on them - It was quite obvious that it had been used to transport some bodies. While on a rack on the corner of the wall hung devices of torture that hadn't been used on Kenith, yet.They finally stopped hitting Kenith who inhaled deeply as if trying to catch his breath. If one took a good look at Kenith, they wouldn't be able to recognize him anymore because his face was swollen and he had a black eye. His lips were split and blood trailed down his temple. In one word, Kenith didn't look too good; his appearance was miserable. One of the soldiers reached for the ta
An awkward silence reigned in the cell after Kenith's revelation and he was delighted with the result. Arianna thought she played smart and won, but he would turn the tide against her. She would not go scot-free for this.Of course, Kenith was very furious because his pride as a man was crushed during this incident. Not only did he fail to sleep with Arianna but he lost his position of power in the gang and respect.He didn't dare to think what his subordinates must be thinking of him. Who knows who took over his position? Now he wanted nothing but to hurt the bitch that put him in this predicament. Big Joe sighed heavily, "In the end, you're still trying to drive a wedge between Arianna and me," He looked at Kenith with an unsmiling face, "Do you like her that much?""What?" Kenith was surprised by that question. This was not the reaction he was expecting from Big Joe, by now he should be furious at the shocking discovery. What was going on?Kenith shifted uncomfortably on his seat
Arianna never knew acting could be this exhausting. Big Joe was not a stupid man so she had to be more scrupulous and natural at pulling off that elaborate hoax.Kenith would strike her back, Arianna was sure of that, especially with the murderous look she saw him give her right before he was taken away by Big Joe's position.She didn't need to be told what she just cost Kenith - his position of power and reputation. If Kenith was crazy enough to want to force himself on her just because he was jealous of Marcel, what would he do now when she caused him everything.Arianna understood the repercussion of what happened. She was Big Joe's chosen bride and the man walked in on the scene of his second-in-command trying to have her. It was definitely a death sentence.She tried to put herself in that same situation. If by chance she loved Big Joe - which was highly impossible - and she saw another lady on top of her man, Arianna was sure she would rain down hell that day. Yeah, she was a
Arianna remained motionless for about a minute and only blinked her eye when she was unable to stare at the fixed spot for long. "Oh, that?" She scratched the back of her nervously. Kenith was a matter she wouldn't want to bring up especially not after the trauma she went through in his hands.Although she was rescued on time, that was still a traumatic experience that she wouldn't want to experience ever in her life. Yes, Marcel had pretty much done almost the same thing to her - her opinion was not respected - at least she had sexual feelings for him and the kiss and touching had been consensual. Also, Arianna did not know Marcel that well but she was sure he wouldn't force himself on her simply because he was jealous. That was the lowest the son of a biscuit - namely Marcel - would go. He would likely spank her if that was the case.At once Arianna felt a rush of desire when she remembered the spanking scene and she quickly squeezed her eyes close to shut out the feelings. She
The guilt on Kenith's face was all the evidence Cassie needed to confirm if he had committed the crime or not. It was like in the movies when slow-motion is activated, although it had been for a fleeting moment, the way their gaze connected and the deep remorse on his face, her heart constricted.It was as if a knife went through her heart and she was unable to breathe as she confirmed the truth. He betrayed her! He told her nothing was going on between Arianna and him and yet this appears? Kenith fooled her completely.No, she needed to speak with him. Cassie wanted him to look her deep in the eyes and confess his sins, however, that was impossible right now. With what happened, security was tight and Big Joe would find it suspicious if he found reports that she visited him. So if she was going to see Kenith tonight, it had to be done secretly - and with help.Cassie branched into another corner of the hallway and although it looked like she wanted to pick up the plates that the mal
"I'm very sorry for your loss, ma'am, your son was a nice man,"Clara already had those words burned into her head. This was the fourth home she visited alongside Marcel to console the families of the victims who lost their sons in the incident.To say that she was bored was an understatement, Clara hated all of this. Most of the houses they visited were located in the rundown section of the city and It was safe to say that this was the most terrible day of her life.Although her mother Diana was a well-known philanthropist, Clara didn't share the same passion. While her mother would be out there caring for the needy - that never ceased - she would rather have a tea party with friends that were on the same social ladder with her or work on her designs.Clara was a fashion designer and though she wasn't world-famous yet, her brands were doing well. She had the connection and resources, all she needed was the right inspiration and in a matter of time, da-da! She would become a global s
