< Octavia >

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

    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

    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

    /-Octavia-/My body curled on the floor, trembling as the tears streamed down my cheeks. Another kick met me in the stomach, and I rolled, wincing. He took the opening to assault my ribs, and I was screaming helplessly, begging him to stop. I didn't know how much I could take anymore. My heart was constricting tightly; even my lungs were gradually closing up, restricting my airflow. "Please stop... Please..." I sobbed, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. He wasn't going to stop. Nothing would make him stop until I was unconscious or possibly dead. The next blow sent blood gushing out of my mouth. "Pa..." I cried, "it hurts. It hurts."I spat out more blood, and his feet connected to my face; the kick had my blood vessels bursting open. At least that is what it felt like. "I am not your father!" He barked. "How many times do I have to warn you?"He slammed his foot against my chest, pressing down so hard as if the intention was to crush my heart. "Just how worthless can you be?!"A k

    /-Octavia-/Six Years Later.I ascended the stairs with a small bag resting on my shoulder. The loud music blazing from the speakers was almost deafening. It wasn't hard to spot Axel in the VIP section with a couple of men. I headed towards him, and his eyes lit up on seeing me. "There comes my Queen," he smirked, and the men's attention shifted to me. The lustful gazes that penetrated my skin didn't bother me. I was in nothing but lingerie and a bra, so it was expected for them to lust after my body. The scars that my father had inflicted on me were concealed, of course. I dropped the bag on the table and sat on his lap. He handed me a cigarette and lit it for me. "The package is already here, as you can see. You can unveil and have a taste of it if you want," Axel said, then turned his attention to me. I dropped my head and kissed him. The bag was opened, and the bags of cocaine were taken out. One of the bags was powered, and a small amount of powder was displayed on the ta

    /-Octavia-/The coffee shop was the only thing of value I possessed. The light in my miserable, dark world.You'd think six years of stripping and doing his dirty work would have been enough to pay for my father's death, but he told me to my face that even if I worked for the next hundred years, I would only be able to pay half of it. An amount he had yet to mention to me. He gave me a little change here and there from the night's work, and I saved everything up to open this little, beautiful shop. When Axel found out about it, he laughed, of course, asking if I planned to clear my father's debt from the earnings of a coffee shop. The words hurt my feelings, but I was already used to him putting me down at every slight opportunity. I was already resigned to my fate of belonging to him forever. There was nothing I could do to change it, no matter how many men I slept with or how many bags of cocaine I transported. I opened the coffee shop with a bright smile on my face. This plac

    /-Octavia-/It was lunch break, and usually I made some brownies and cookies for those who liked to have coffee in the afternoon.Just as I took off my apron and headed to the front desk, someone walked in.It was probably the milky scent that caught my attention, but as my eyes connected with those oceanic blue eyes, I knew I was in for trouble."What are you doing back here?" I blurted before I could stop myself. Nile was visibly startled by my hostility, but I didn't care. I wanted him to leave before Axel showed up unexpectedly and caused more trouble. "That is not the way to treat a customer." He smiled it off. "I enjoyed your coffee. Came to get another and leave a large tip, of course."A smile threatened to burst out of my lips. He was so kind and soft-spoken. Why couldn't Axel be like that? Why did I have to end up with someone cruel?I didn't let my worries show on my face."What type of coffee? I have muffins and cookies too. You can get some for a couple of cents," I to

    OCTAVIA'S POVI caught myself staring into thin air more times than I can admit today. My heart still skips a beat anytime I remember how Nile said he would keep being a regular till I'm ready to accept him. Axel is not going to like this. I closed the coffee shop for the day and headed down the sidewalk to the one-room box-like apartment I rented close to the shop that I don't even get the luxury of sleeping in and took a quick shower. I stare at two teenage girls arguing in front of a dress shop on which color of dress is best to wear to prom as I headed to the casino, where I spend six out of seven nights of the week. Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been if my mom was still alive. "Would I have gone to college? "Would Philip still be alive and nice to me?". I shrugged off the thoughts and put a lock over my mind and put on my mask of coolness. Maybe if Axel would have a problem with me today. The ground floor was filled to the brim with dancing and grinding bodies, as to

    OCTAVIA'S POV There's a certain bounce in my steps as I walk into the casino today. I've been at peace for a while now, and even Axel's dirty looks and harsh words did nothing to dampen my mood. For the past three weeks, Nile has come to the casino almost every day and books me every night. I know he does it on purpose to protect me from entertaining other patrons, and I'm so grateful for it. It's almost as if he cares about me. We spend some nights just talking about random things, and sometimes we watch movies, and on some days we don't talk just eat in the comfortable quiet. Tonight is one of those nights. I came with a book I started reading earlier yesterday and made myself comfortable in my usual chair and started reading. "There's something I want to talk to you about," he started.I turned to face him. "Okay, go ahead." "What do you think about going back to college?" I used to dream of going to college the first two years since I started working as a stripper, but when it

    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. She stepped in. i hadn't seen her since that day i ha

    ‘’Lionel Cyro da Vinci,’’ I repeated the name, smiling. Although it left a taste of sadness on my tongue. For the first time in the two years I had been home, I wondered what became of him. Waas he really dead? Or was he somewhere else, just as I was?‘’You were Helene,’’ she said to me, rocking the baby gently.I leaned on the cot. ‘’Helene? Let me guess. That was the name of my mum.’’‘’Close enough,’’ she said. ‘’Helene was the name of your mum’s sister. Her name was Dorothy. We all called her Doris.’’I walked away from the bed and took a seat beside her. ‘’Do you think my brother might still be alive?’’ I asked.She sighed then shook her head slowly, swaying her thick crop of gray hair. ‘’Lionel would have found him if he’s still alive.’’‘’But is he looking at all?’’ I asked.‘’I don’t know, Octavia. He wasn’t looking when he found you. Inmean, he buried the burnt bodies of two babies that he supposed were you and Cyrius.’’I leaned forward. ‘’That’s my point, aunt.

    Elena found out I was sleeping in Bree’s room a few days later. She came into Bree’s room one morning when I was still knocked out from the pill and found me sleeping in her bed.‘’Why’s Octavia in your room?’’ she asked. She had come to spend some time with Bree as she was leaving very soon.She shrugged. ‘’She likes my bed?’’She didn't believe the story because she was in the room the following morning, and Bree said the same thing. I was awake and just sitting on the bed, feeling down and upset.‘’Good morning, aunt Elena,’’ I said. She had a tray of different arrays of fruits that she had been feeding Bree with every morning. She said it would make her conceive easily and have a healthy baby.‘’Are you okay, Octavia? You look pale,’’ she said to me.I looked at her, my eyes heavy. The tablets were putting me to sleep, but I'd always wake up tired. I was feeling a bit more depressed daily.‘’Yes, aunty. I’m fine,’’ I said, looking at the tray of fruits in her hands. I

    I turned around to the sound of his voice. ‘’Did I wake you up?’’ I asked, walking away from the mirror.He squinted his eyes and groaned. ‘’Where are you all dressed up to?’’‘’I have a very important meeting in town, babe. It was so sudden,’’ I said, walking over to him and kissing his cheeks. ‘’Good morning.’’He creased his brows. ‘’I can’t let you out just yet, Rory. You were attacked just last week and you aren’t fit to be going out yet.’’I laughed gently. ‘’I know you are bothered about me, and I love it so much. But you seem to be forgetting who you are, baby. You are Lionel da VInci.’’ I walked over to the mirror to brush my hair. ‘’No one can mess with you.’’He shook his head. ‘’I’ve been proven wrong one too many times,’’ he said.‘’Well, I am Rory Morano. No one can mess with me,’’ I said, chuckling dryly.He sat up. ‘’What is this urgent meeting about?’’I patted my lips against each other gently. ‘’My cousin,’’ I said. ‘’I have a meeting with the security chie

    ‘’You are a cat.’’ I laughed as I walked into the room with a tray of food. He leaned up to receive the food.‘’A cat with nine lives,’’ I continued.He winced and quickly masked it with a smile. ‘’It wasn’t really a good shot.’’Aaron had had a hernia when he was a teenager, and the surgeon had left a mesh frame when he did the repair. It was that framework that had trapped the bullet that had been fired at him, stopping it from hitting his liver. The doctor said it was one of the wonders of the world.‘’What life number are you on now?’’ I asked.‘’Should be three,’’ he said.The room became silent suddenly as our minds drifted to the event of that day. I had the opportunity of putting the lives of two of my enemies that day but I had hesitated. I wasn’t sure if I was not going to regret it eventually. Another concern was the man I had seen.‘’I saw the man behind the door, Aaron,’’ I said, looking at him. His brows were furrowed. I had a feeling he knew what I was about
