The glass cup crashed against the wall, piercing the silence that surrounded me. I clenched my hand into a fist and attempted to hit something with it. Damn Octavia. She had shown up once again to cause a rift between Zion and I. ‘’What’s the matter?’’ I met the troubled face of Lauryl looking at my clenched fist and my face.‘’Get inside,’’ I yelled at her. ‘’Or better still, leave!’’She scrambled for her things as she hurried out of the room. I went back to the poolside and threw a punch into the soft chair. It was time to put Octavia in her place. She could not be interfering with my plans and issuing threats to me as she pleased just because a powerful Don picked her off the streets.I reached for my phone in the pocket of my robe and dialed my PA. He picked after a couple of rings.‘’Where the fuck did you keep your phone?’’ I barked at him, walking into the house.‘’I’m sorry, sir. I -’’‘’Save your speech. Tell Axel I want to meet him, and it’s urgent. I need your fee

Since he didn’t stay over in the rooms, I decided to follow him. He stopped at his office and he had been there for about an hour before I decided I had to meet him there.The man who I guessed was the Secretary was the only person I met after being let in by the Security person at the gate. He accosted me in the hallway, anger sketched all over his face.‘’Who are you?’’ he asked, his tall thin build hovering over me.‘’I have something important to deliver to your boss,’’ I said, my hand in my pocket holding the phone.‘’And that would be what?’’ he asked, raising his brows.‘’It’s a private matter,’’’ I said.He huffed. ‘’It’s past closing time.’’ he pointed towards something which i guessed was a clock. But I didn't bother looking. ‘’You need to see the boss, you come within working hours.’’’ he stressed the word ‘within’. I could tell he was not happy to be at work.‘’Can I see him now?’’ I asked, looking at him defiantly.He bit his lips and walked a step or two and then

I watched him as he left. I knew men like Nile Giovanni. They liked things to be delivered to them on a platter of gold but I was no ordinary person. I let out a puff of smoke and dipped the cigarette in the wine, killing the flames. I would tease him and make him fall for me, then I would get what I needed from him and dump him.Lilian approached me, smiling brightly. I was waiting at the usual spot where we usually shared spoils of the game. She had taken more time than usual to show up at the spot and I was pretty upset because i had promised Nakku that i would read her favourite book tonight to make up for not showing up at herr games last week.‘’I know you are upset, Liv. I'm sorry it took so long,’’ she said.I glanced at my watch. She had taken almost an hour longer than usual. ‘’I promised Nakku I’d be home early,’’ i said.‘’I’m sorry,’’ she said, dropping a bag on the table. It seemed quite big. ‘’But the amount of money we had made tonight is enough to get that fro

There was a tap on the door, then the handle turned and the door was pushed open. The intruder poked her head through the space and smiled. ‘’Hey!’’It was Bree.‘’Hey,’’ I called out. ‘’Excited.’’She huffed. ‘’I couldn’t sleep at all. I had nightmares.’’I laughed. ‘’Why are you standing at the doorway? Come in,’’ I said. ‘’Let’s do something to take that anxiety away.’’She pushed the door completely open and walked in. She was still in her nightwear and her hair was up in curls. She was going to be meeting the man she would be getting married to in a few weeks today. It wasn’t the wedding yet, but itt was the step before the wedding.‘’I feel crazy,’’ she said, dropping on my bed. She looked at me as though she had something she wanted to say.‘’What is it?’’ I asked.She hugged her legs and rolled on the bed. ‘’Something has been bothering me, Octavia,’’ she said. ‘’Can i trust you?’’I nodded. I wanted to fix our relationship so badly, and I knew she didn’t trust me

I was torn between being completely Bree or dropping a hint of being Jane. I wanted to continue in good terms with Octavia and even though I didn’t agree with her concern, I had to just comply with it. I selected a cream gown that brought out the complexion of my skin and coupled it with the diamond jewelry that had arrived the previous day from Vinceent. We were to have a private lunch first, then we’d return to the family house for him to have a drink with my uncle and dinner with my family.A car arrived to pick me up. I looked at Octavia and smiled. ‘’I feel giddy. Wish me luck.’’She hugged me. ‘’Good luck, Bree. You look really beautiful.’’He was not in the car, just the driver and a chauffeur. ‘’Good afternoon, ma’am,’’ the driver said as I got in. I wondered if he was already at the restaurant and was waiting for me.‘’Hello,’’ I said to him, smiling slightly. I was still nervous.But I was wrong. He was not there. He had booked the whole restaurant for the afternoo

The room was filled with his groan and the slight creaking sound of the bed as he moved behind me. It was usually over in less than two minutes, thankfully. But he seemed to be taking longer than usual today. He groaned and bent my back lower on the bed. I bit my lips. Why was this taking longer than usual?‘’You haven’t come yet?’’ I asked after waiting another minute.He groaned. ‘’No.’’I bit my lips again. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine that it was Lorenz. I thought of that night in the car minutes before his death. I tried to relive his hands and his tongue all over my body but the continuous grunt of Lionel was disrupting my thought.‘’Fuck,’’ I said.‘’What is it?’’ he asked.I shook my head. ‘’Nothing, darling.’’ I was tired. Minutes later, he finally gave up. ‘’I’m getting too old for you,’’ he said, chuckling beside me.I laughed gently. Usually he would sleep immediately after sex, but he didn’t have his release tonight and I was doomed for a conversation w

Rory Moraano. I remembered her too well. But who wanted her dead?It was in the policy of Sergio to meet with the clients while I had no contact with them. This was to ensure the safety of the clients, in case I got caught. But as I paced in the room, I found myself increasingly interested in who would want to kill Rory.I knew she was married to Lioneel da Vinci, and news had it that she was pregnant with a son for the mafia boss. It had been a very clever move on her end, to seal herself into such a place of power and wealth. Ii could only think of one person who would want her dead, and that would be Octavia.I walked around the room, thinking about what such powerful information could do for me. The cut I got from Sergio was usually half of whatever was paid. At least, that was what he told me. I couldn’t trust him with the truth and he could be receiving more than he disclosed. This was a good chance to make some good money, all I needed was the information of the client.

There was pandemonium in the compound. For a minute, I thought the hitman had killed Rory and a mixture of satisfaction and regret overwhelmed me. Until I heard them asking for the family physician to attend to her. She was in labour.‘’What’s going on?’’ I asked one of the security men who was stained with blood.‘’Mrs da Vinci got shot and she’s in labour, ma’am,’’ he said, rushing off.Shot? Labour? Why wasn’t she dead? What kind of assassin didn’t give a fatal shot? I asked for that she should be killed, not wounded. The only thing i could hope for right now was that she and her baby would not survive the shot.‘’Oh my goodness,’’ Bree said, running into my arms. ‘’It’s gory. Someone tried to kill aunt Rory.’’I rubbed her back, my mind racing with uncertainties. Was it a bad decision to use this so-called agent? Was she going to survive? Would my father find out it was me? Would he forgive me? Would Rory forgive me? Was I wrong to doubt her?‘’Octavia?’’‘’Huh?’’ I lo

‘’You met Rose?’’ I could see he was finding it hard to follow the conversation.‘’Yes,’’ I said. ‘’I bumped into her as I was rushing out of the Ladies. She has a photo of Luca grabbing me in the bathroom. And she wants me to testify.’’He rubbed his fingers into his hair and stood up. He paced for a while before he returned to the seat. ‘’Are you saying Lucas has been harassing women sexually?’’I nodded.‘’And he tried to do that to you?’’‘’’Yes,’’ I said.‘’Damn it! Fuck!’’ He stood up. ‘’This is my fault. I should have told him who you were to me. I’m so sorry, Octavia.’’I said nothing.‘’You said you saw Rose?’’ he asked.‘’Yes. I left the hall with her,’’ I said.‘’Are you sure it was Rose you saw?’’I looked at him. ‘’I would know Rose, wouldn't I?’’‘’I’m sorry,’’ he said, rubbing his forehead. ‘’You mentioned that Rose wanted you to testify.. That she had a photo. What is it about?’’I let out a deep sigh. ‘’I’m not sure, but I think Lucas probably had his way

‘’Thank you so much for coming,’’ I said, shaking his hand warmly as I looked around for Octavia.‘’Beautiful presentation.’’I walked down to the table I had seen her last. It was unoccupied. A couple were seated just beside her table.‘’Good afternoon. Please, I’m looking for the lady who was seated here,’’ I said.‘’Oh,’’ the woman replied. ‘’She had some wine poured on her and she rushed off to the Ladies, i think.’’‘’Thank you,’’ I said, walking away.I stood a few feet from the table, waiting for her return. I was excited to share with her what the investors thought. I paced around, and glanced at my wristwatch. She had been gone for too long. I reached for my phone and began to dial her number while I walked towards the Ladies. I bumped into Lucas.‘’Hey, Lucas,’’ I said, observing the cut on his face and the wrinkles on his shirt. His hair looked roughened too, and he seemed upset. ‘’I was just looking for Octavia.’’I dropped my phone in my pocket as the call went u

‘’You’re kidding, right?’’ she said.I wished I was. ‘’I will publish the whole story, Octavia. And you will see it. I want you as a witness.’’‘’Publish? A witness? Are you out of your mind, Rose?’’ she asked, sitting up and facing me. ‘’I can’t.’’‘’I’m not the only victim,’’ I said, closing my eyes. ‘’I have at least five women who are willing to testify. You are the only one who can testify with an evidence.’’She turned away. ‘’Please, stop the car. I’m dropping off here.’’ She reached for her purse and pulled out some notes and handed it to the driver. ‘’I won’t let you mess my life, Rose.’’I pulled out a cigarette from my purse and inhaled the fumes as I rested my head on the back seat.—It was almost 7pm when I returned home and the sound of Angel crying grated my nerves. Lydia was rocking her but the crying continued, relentlessly.‘’She’s been like this all day, ma’am,’’ she said, still rocking her. ‘’I don’t know what is wrong. I’ve tried everything i can.’’‘’I

I pushed him away and ran for the door. The man had disappeared amongst the crowd of guests. I looked around and cursed.‘’It’s okay, hon–’’I turned around and slapped him on the face. ‘’You bastard!’’He held his cheek for a second, flustered and embarrassed. ‘’Who do you think you are?’’I started to make my way out of the bathroom but he slammed the door and yanked my hair and pulled me in. his hand curled into a fist and he tried to land a blow on my head. I dodged, the attempted blow setting him off balance. I grabbed his second arm and twisted it behind him, till he yelled in pain. Then pushed him towards the sink, sending the mirror above it breaking and crashing into the sink.From the broken mirror left in the wall, I could see terror in his eyes. ‘’Let me go,’’ he said, his voice devoid of any remorse.I twisted his arm again until he cried for mercy. ‘’Please! Who are you?’’ his voice trembled.I moved closer to him and looked at him through the mirror. ‘’Someo

She didn’t resist. I guess she wanted me as much as I wanted her. Her lips relaxed and took mine too. My hands wrapped around her back, pulling her closer. I felt hot flashes in my body. Her arms stretched over my shoulder, pulling my head in. I slid my hands down to her ass, raising her up. I couldn’t get enough of her.We staggered to the wall, lips still locked, hands all over our bodies. Outside, thunder rumbled and lightning crashed. She was pinned against the wall, breathing heavily when I pulled away from the kiss. ‘’I want you, Octavia,’’ I said, searching her eyes. I could see the raw desires in them. She wanted me just as much.She tugged at my shirt, ripping the first button loose. Her eyes were fierce and inviting at the same time. I knew I was supposed to be avoiding her, but whatever drew her to me was too powerful than the both of us. ‘’Have me then, Mr Giovanni,’’ she whispered, her words sending shocks down my spine.I reached for her again, pulling her and

She was mumbling and flailing her arms, with beads of sweat forming on her forehead despite the cool temperature of the room. I walked close to the bed.‘’Octavia?’’She was still only for a moment before she continued, thrashing more violently now. It was as though she was fighting with some unseen demons. I tapped her gently. ‘’Octavia…. Octavia..’’She stirred, and her eyes opened. She turned around in an instant and she saw me. I saw the look of shock and panic on her face. I was unsure of how to react.‘’I’m sorry to bother you,’’ I said, standing straight. ‘’It seems you were having a nightmare.’’She rubbed her eyes, almost as if she couldn’t believe I was the one standing there. I felt almost the same way too - I couldn't believe she was the one lying in my bed.‘’I– I was told you won’t be back,’’ she said, pushing the sheets away. ‘’Oh shit!’’I reached for her arm. ‘’Octavia, it's okay. You don’t have to leave,’’ I said, but my grasp on her arm ended up making her

The penthouse was breathtakingly beautiful. It was the most beautiful part of the hotel and it was not hard to see why. I looked out of the window to the city outside. It was such a beautiful view. I imagined myself with my robe and a cup of wine, just looking at the city."Good evening, Ms. Russo.’’ I turned around, startled by the voice of the stranger. A woman in uniform was standing at the entrance. ‘’I was informed you would be our guest for a while. My name is Patricia and i am the hostess in charge of the penthouse.’’I nodded, examining her carefully.‘’Allow me to show you around, please." She smiled, her smile warm and professional. I guess she was used to treating the biggest clients of the hotel, so she had to be very warm and professional.I smiled back, a little excited and a lot curious. I'd never indulged in the pleasure of staying at a penthouse. I mean, it was too big for only me to occupy. I wondered what Zion was up to for him to occupy such a large pla

I peered at the footage as the man walked into the elevator beside me. ‘’Yes, that’s him,’’ I said, pointing at the screen.The man remained silent. I watched as he moved closer to me while he got me engaged in a o conversation and pulled out my wallet from the bag. It was so swift that it could have been easily missed on the footage.‘’Can he be identified?’’ I asked, leaning up. ‘’I need to get my wallet.’’The man ceased his forehead, watching the footage again. ‘’It’s hard to really get his face in the video.’’ He looked at me. ‘’He’s smart. I would say he’s an expert. He avoided any angles that would show his face.’’I paced around the room. ‘’So you are saying this is not the first time guests at your hotel are robbed of their possessions? And yet nothing has been done to curtail it? How does he even have access to your lobby?’’He straightened his back and pulled the chair away from the computer. ‘’Miss Russo, this is not a regular at our hotel. Such an unfortunate

I waited for Bree to leave for the States before I started packing up my things for the flight the following day. Talking to my dad had helped with the panic attacks and I was able to sleep in my room, but still with the medications. Bree looked gorgeous in her gown. ‘’I’ll visit you in the US as soon as I can,’’ I said to her, hugging her tightly. Vincent had sent a private jet to pick her up, and she was going to be on the flight alone. ‘’Be a good girl, huh?’’She sniffed. ‘’I’ll try my best.’’ she dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out her yin yang necklace. ‘’I still have mine,’’ she said, smiling. ‘’I’ll put it on whenever i miss you.’’I searched my entire room that day for mine and eventually found itt. I held it delicately, smiling at it. ‘’I miss you already, Bree.’’There was a gentle tap on my door and it creaked open. ‘’Heyy.’’ It was Rory.‘’Hey,’’ I said, looking up at her from my task briefly.
