My eyes opened and everything was spinning around me, with my pounding headache. It took me little while to discover a master bedroom with huge dimension and most luxuriously furniture and was decorated with some highly expensive painting and no photographs. I was laid on a king sized bed and a plain white, oversized T-shirt and an oversized pair of shorts.I assume they were of a man. Where was I? Was I in the Russo mansion? I managed to recall what car hit me but I couldn't remember anything else except it's color. Black. What if I am back in the trap of Alantino. I couldn't stay here, I had to escape fast. I didn't even knew what time it was. It was so strange that the room was completely furnished except for clock, photographs and an empty walk-in closet, I got a peek of it as the door was slightly open and it was all vacant.
I got up from the bed and opened the door without making any noise, the corridor was completely dark except the lights coming from outside as t
"I loved it."I admitted to Enzo and he was still standing at the door, observing my expressions."I'm glad you liked it, but I'll take my leave here. Your assistant Chloe Winthrop will help you in everything. Also I'll be returning late today, so I have asked one of my best soldiers to not leave your side until I am back. He is standing outside."He told me and I peeked out to find a tall, muscular man, dressed in formals with a straight body posture, standing beside the door. He was as tall as Enzo, but I still didn't believe anyone or rely on anyone as much as I did on Enzo. But it was good to know that he cared for me and assigned me a personal bodyguards to my service. If he wanted he wouldn't have bothered about my life. He wanted to play games with his enemies and anyone could have done the help for him if not me. But it felt so good to know that he actually cared for me."Have a safe trip. I'll do fine here."I assured him and h
Benjamin was standing right at the door and greater me with a warm smile as he saw me. I reciprocated the action and was about to say something when he moved aside and I saw Alantino Russo sitting on of the chairs in our conference table. He was sitting so casually as if he was the owner of this property. The fuck was he doing here? My blood boiled seeing him and there was no way, I was going to spare him for this audacity. I walked right past Benjamin, I didn't care about him anymore."How dare you enter my property?! Get out!"I commanded but he didn't budge. Just smirked."What's the matter Valerie? Calm down. It's me who invited him here."Benjamin stated to my shock. Was he crazy to invite Alantino here? He already knew about our messed relationship. Yet he acted as if he didn't know anything."What? Why have you called him here?"Was my obvious question, I looked at Alantino as I asked Benjamin."I think
Mrs Russo helped me reach my home and I was feeling much better in the silence. She put her hand on my head and smoothened my hairs. Then gently sat beside me on the bed."Are you okay Valerie?"She asked gently with a motherly love, that I almost felt like hugging her and crying all my problems out. The void was so filled with depression. I was tired of all this, I didn't want to fight anymore but I couldn't even step back now. How many things would I have deal to survive in this world? I wanted to live not just survive."Not really."I answered in a hushed tone. I wasn't sure what to say, to tell her his son was the ultimate reason of all my suffering? Or should I tell her that her husband was the worst man I've ever seen? I couldn't, she was being nice to me and I couldn't take that for granted. I know she could only help me till she saw no threat in me but if I started making her familiar with my real ideologies maybe she too would treat m
"You should be sleeping now, you already had alcohol and I remember you refused to have champagne in your wedding, saying, you don't consume any alcoholic thing. When did you start drinking alcohol?"She asked in a solemn tone. She was worried at my situation, I wondered how pathetic I must have looked for her to be this concerned for my alcohol consumption."I still don't usually drink alcohol, this was the second time I did."I told her and a realisation struck her as her expression changed and gave me an encouraging smile."You've been through a lot Valerie but you must choose your ways wisely. Alcohol will only make ugh distracted from your goals and attracted to it."She explained to me as she helped me wipe my makeup off and undo my hairs."Mrs Russo... ""Mom*"She corrected me."Yes, mom, do you support my goals?"I asked her a question, I wasn't sure if I should've or not. My ultim
"What are you doing Alantino? He's the son of one of our underbosses."Mr Russo reminded him but his expressions remained same. Deadly."He dared to touch Valerie."He said in a voice that would make anyone tremble out of fear and many of the people gathered around dance floor were already frightened. No-one would want to get their name associated with what that guy had been doing with me. And I could see many of them had already made a distance from me."That doesn't mean you'll beat him to death."Said Mr Russo as he gave a disgusted look towards the man lying on the floor drenched in blood. Then another disgusted look at my way."What did he exactly do?"He asked me and was he fucking kidding me, by asking me in what way did the man harass me, in front of everyone?"What did he do Valerie?"He asked again before I could think of an appropriate reply to his nonsense question."She doesn't needs to answ
All the affection he simulated, the fake warmth in his eyes, the mask he carried around me and the counterfeit act of tenderness everything was just for show, this wasn't the man I liked. But the thing for which I should be concerned was, why did he faked everything and why was he doing, whatever he was doing with me, now.We reached the door of the bar and a bouncer standing at front of bowed his head in front of Alantino and then smirked when he saw. Was this one of his bars? Or worse was this some kind of fucking place for his men?Alantino opened the door and shoved me forward that I hit my head on the corner and that's when I realised it wasn't some ordinary bar. The lighting was all pink and red in neon and the small area was filled smell of beer and so many floral scents. There were so many small cells inside it and few girls were serving liquor, naked. And the men were touching them wherever they wished to. My throat dried at the sight and I could n

My eyes opened and I found Enzo sitting on the corner of bed, still not dressed."What the hell!"I screamed, seeing his figure suddenly."What... It's my house."He stated and yes it was his property but it didn't mean, he would go anywhere,anytime he wished to. Especially when there was a girl in the room, he couldn't invade in like that."Don't you know some basic manners. Can you just knock before you come in?"I asked, it was more of a suggestion from my side."I am not used to knocking, I have always lived alone."He admitted and I couldn't comment anything on that."Why are you here?"I asked."I have a habit of going to work early. I have businesses to handle and as you are part of it now, don't you wanna get your responsibilities given to you?"He asked and I wasn't sure what kind of responsibilities was he talking about."What job are you gonna assign to me?"
