OCTAVIA'S POVThe morning after my meeting with Zion passed in a blur of preparations, I didn’t even have the time to dwell on what happened. As much as I don't want to admit it, my nerves are a mess as I went it my room to get ready, as nervous as I am I can't afford to let it show, I am supposed to be the one leading the rest of the team and Mikel is definitely going to have a field day if I show any sign of weakness. Mikel wasn’t subtle about his displeasure. He doesn’t trust me, and he made no effort to hide it I don't trust him either but I refused to let him or anyone else get in my head.By evening, everything was set.I was startled when Bree bounded into my room without knocking"Are you ready," she asked"Almost," I said trying get my hair in a bun."I can't imagine how nervous you must be right now, are you okay?" She asked. “Want me to tag along for moral support?” she asked again,

OCTAVIA'S POVThe cold, salty breeze from the port hit my face as we stepped out of the car. The place was quiet with the sound of distant waves crashing against the docks the only thing breaking the silence. The port was dimly lit by a flickering streetlights that cast long shadows across the worn concrete and old containers.Aaron stood at my side, while Bryon and the others flanked us as we waited for the russians to arrive. My heartbeat thrummed steadily in my chest from anticipation, I tightened my grip on my mother’s knife that I had already moved to my hand, the comforting weight helped me feel more grounded.The Russians arrived a few monents later, three black SUVs pulled up in front of us and they stepped out with air of danger and authority. They exactly like I imagined, huge and dangerous, the also held weapons that matched the ones that we were holding, the only person that appeared a but normal was the man that appeared to b

OCTAVIA'S POVI opened my eyes, but my vision was blurry and I could here muffled sound, my body felt heavy and it took a moment for me to realise I am lying in my bed in my room.I blinked slowly as my vision cleared and I tried to piece together how I got here. The last thing I can remember is the chaos and gunfire at the port, I think I saw Allister get shot too, I suddenly remember the searing pain I had felt in my arm.Wait, I got shot!“Octavia,” Bree called out softly from beside me, her tone was filled with worry.I turned my head slowly towards her meeting her concerned gaze."Ohh my goodness, she has woken up." She gasped looking up with tears in her eyes.I turned to the other side just in time to see Lionel stop pacing and rushed to my side. His face was tight, his expression unreadable and his whole body looked tense.He raised his hands as if to touch me but then tho

OCTAVIA'S POVWhen I woke up the next morning, the dull ache in my arm had intensified a lot more than it was yesterday so I took another dose of painkillers as soon I got out of bed.Whoever said a bullet wound is cool is either delusional or a superhero.Bree had gone back to her room by the time I woke up, compared to yesterday though, I feel a lot less groggy and grounded. I took a shower and got ready for the day, the cast on my arm is a cumbersome, thank goodness I won't be needing it for too long.I made my way downstairs as met Aaron on the way up to my room,"How does it feel?" He asked, his eyes fixed on my arm."I don't know if I am going to survive it, it's worse than yesterday, what am I going to do." I replied with exagerrated worry in my tone.Aaron's eyes widened immediately and he reached out for my arm but look almost scared to touch it."I am just kidding," I said lau

OCTAVIA’S POVThe sunlight filtered softly through my bedroom window as I stretched my arm, I have finally been allowed to take off the cast and it feels amazing to have my freedom of movement back.Rose had come over earlier this afternoon, she almost had a heart attack after hearing what had happened. She went from yelling at me for not calling her immediately after the incident to hugging me so tightly that I thought she might send me back to the infirmary. Bree found the whole scene hilarious as she sat down watching us while munching on popcorn.“Honestly, Octavia,” Rose ranted, pacing back and forth in my room, “I wanted to storm over here the second I heard what happened. I would have if it wasn't for work. Isn't preventing this the whole point of having a bodyguard? Let me tell you, if I meet him—”“Rose,” I interrupted, laughing. “It’s fine. Really. Aaron does his

OCTAVIA'S POV My head felt heavy this morning, I spent the whole night thinking about, I know what I have to do, as part of me wishes I can ignore the past, bury the truth forever and let myself fall back into what Zion and I once had made, but what happened is too huge to just pretend it doesn't exist, it will eventually come between us. What happened is not something that can just truly fade. I decided to bite the bullet and dialed Zion's number. My heart has since become numb and I sat wordlessly as I listened for the phone dial. He picked after a few rings."Hey Octavia," he said "I am glad you called,"“Can we meet today?” I asked."Uhm sure," he agreed immediately. "Should I come over, " I could feel my heart break at the barely concealed hope in his voice.“No it's fine, I’ll come to you.” I answered.We decided on the park not too far from our, or well what used to be my apartment building. For a one hour drive, it felt like forever before we arrived, Aaron drove me as usua

AARON'S POVI killed the engine in front of the club and leaned back in my seat, I didn't sat anything throughout the drive, I doubt there is anything that i could have said that would make her feel better. I glanced a her through the rearview mirror, her eyes are puffy and red from all the crying, our eyes met for a brief second before she turned away and faced the window. The tears had finally stopped, but the silence isn't any better, I can almost taste her sadness in the air. I hate seeing her so vulnerable, I know she would never let herself cry in front of anyone else but she sobbed like like baby throughout the ride here. As much as it pains me to see her hurting there's hardly anything that I can do about it and it makes me feel so useless, as much as I hate to admit it, she clearly loves that batsard, Zion and I do not see why, it is very obvious he is just a spoiled asshat. Maybe I am being a bit bias but I can't bring myself to care. I can decide who she loved and I can'

AARON'S POVI turned to Octavia, who was still swaying to the beat, oblivious to the scene I’d just caused. I contemplated dragging her off the dance floor myself but then I hesitated.I know what she is doing right now is some sort of coping mechanism, it is her way of dealing with her pain and as much as I hate the way she is being reckless and putting herself out there like this, I kind of understand it.After making sure no idiot was close making any move towards her again, I turned and was about to retreat to the bar when I felt her hands suddenly wrap around my biceps, I turned back to her her see her looking up at me with a hazy, drunken smile.She looks so innocently gorgeous and my heart did that jumping thing again. This girl is really testing my self restraint. I didn't show any emotion and responded with a questioning raise of an eyebrow.“Dance with me,” she said, her voice slightly slurred, her fing

Mikel did not mince words. He stood in front of me, his eyes glowing with anger.‘’You put the whole of our operation at risk with your foolish idea. Now, all our alliance in Russia is severed.’’ he paced around. ‘’We have goods that need clearance. Do you ever even think?’’I swallowed hard and bit my lips. I would take all the insults from him because it was my fault.‘’Do you think the mafia is a child’s plaything?’’ he looked at me with express disgust on his face. ‘’All you do is cause problems. I’ve told the Don if you need a toy or something to keep yourself busy, he should get you one. You can’t be toying with things that are above and beyond you.’’I crossed my arms and leaned on the wall, looking at him defiantly. ‘’I am not playing around. Unfortunate things happened and i am ready to take responsibility.’’He scoffed. ‘’What do you know about responsibility?’’ he stepped forward, close enough for me to clearly see the creases on his face. I didn’t flinch. ‘’It

‘’Thomas..’’ I started to rise to my feet. He held me down.‘’Sit,’’ he said.‘’You shouldn't bring the whores to the family table, Thomas,’’ she continued.He faced her. ‘’I’ve given you your one minute, Clara. Leave now.’’ His voice was menacing yet low. I had never heard him sound that way and it was both a comfort to me and a terror. She sat for a few more seconds, scoffed, then pushed the chair away and walked off to greet some other guests.I found later that she was the heiress to a multi millionaire British company, while she also owned a large beauty consultancy and lines of beauty products. She and Thomas were married for five years and they had two adorable girls. They had separated about six years ago on issues that were not clear. I bowed my head, feeling out of place suddenly. She was too hot, powerful and successful to be my competition.She sat beside a younger looking gentleman who was her date. Jenner was just to her right and I could see them looking at me

Thomas Storm was not only building my dream VIP lounge, he was also building a relationship with me. I wasn’t quite sure what attracted him to me, but he asked me out on a date the second time we met. He was a much older man, in his forties, married once. It seemed I had a thing with older men. But he was sweet and paid me full attention. He was nothing like Liam, who was still stalking me. I alighted from the car and took in the beauty of the house that stood before me. Just a week ago, Thomas had opened up to me that he was in fact the CEO of Midas Company. I was upset with him for only twenty minutes, which was how long it took for him to explain to me why he did what he did.Today, I was supposed to meet his family. I was nervous but he stood beside me with a reassuring smile that made my nerves calm.‘’My family don't bite,’’ he said, taking my arm in his as we walked into the house. ‘’My mother has heard so much about you. She really cannot wait to meet you.’’I nodde

I reached out for a napkin from a server and stretched it towards her. ‘’This might not help much, but it can reduce the wetness.’’She raised her head, looking at me with her doe eyes a second more than necessary. ‘’Thank you, Zion,’’ she said. ‘’But I may need to change this. Can you point me to the ladies?’’‘’Of course.’’We continued to walk arm in arm into the hall. I could see my father sitting by the fireplace and eating some barbecue with the ‘’men’’. Nike was standing at a corner talking to his wife, Miranda. He saw us approaching then and he watched us with curiosity.‘’She spilled her drink,’’ I said to both of them. The napkin was sitting on her chest, covering the ugly red mark on her beautiful white gown.‘’Oh my God!’’ Miranda exclaimed. ‘’I’m so sorry about that. Your beautiful dress is ruined.’’She smiled awkwardly, tugging at my arms but I ignored it. Nile was watching her with a new interest.‘’’The ladies is just on the first floor, by your right. I’ll b

‘’You are still in bed, Zion?’’I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the disapproving look on Nile’s face. I rubbed my eyes and rolled to the side. ‘’Can’t I sleep in peace?’’ I grumbled. I had partied the night before and my body was still trying to recover from all of the fatigue.‘’No,’’ he said, walking in and drawing the blinds away. It was almost dark outside. I glance at the clock. Past 6.‘’The party doesn’t start until 8, Nile. I can sleep for another hour,’’ I said, pulling the duvet over my chest. I was interested in any parties my brother was organising, especially a ‘Family reunion.’‘’We are hosting, Zion. I need you out of bed,’’ he said and finally walked out of the room.I laid still on the bed for minutes, staring at the ceiling. I pulled myself up into a sitting position and felt nauseous. Beside me, Sophia was still sleeping deeply. I pushed the covers off and my feet hit the cold tile. The bedside rug had been ruined and it was threadbare in some places

I tossed in bed for hours. I had barely slept for a few minutes when I was woken up by a nightmare. I stared at the ceiling, clutching my arms and reminding myself that it was a dream. I was safe at home in Palmero. The clock ticked slowly but i could not return to sleep anymore. Thoughts of the men brutally assaulting me played in my head nonstop, despite all my attempts to block them. The screams of those men as Dmitir fired lethal bullets into their heads added only to my torment. I turned to my side and twisted my finger into a fist, grimacing. I laid there for hours, my eyes and mind awake, but my body tired. Finally, I got up and strolled out of the room in my night wear alone. The house was silent and the corridors were dark. I took two flights of stairs until i arrived on the first floor. Then I walked to one of the rooms. Without hesitation, i turned on the handle and opened the door. He always left his door unlocked.He opened his eyes and reached for the light swi

I met Rory on the way. I wished I had not. I just wanted to return to my room, to bury my head in my pillow. Dad had not been able to hide his disappointment. I could see it all over his face even though he said nothing. He was going to get revenge for what had been done to Bree, and he would be killed and my life would be in ruins. I thought of the prophecy that man had said about my past and I shivered as I walked down the corridor.‘’Hey, Raven,’’ she said, leaning on the wall and clutching at her loose robe.‘’I can’t deal with this right now,’’ I said, walking past her.She held my hand. ‘’We’ve been together before we met, raven. I didn’t go behind your back.’’I pulled my hand away. ‘’Stay away from my father,’’ I said and walked away.It felt like ages since I left on this trip to Russia. So many things had gone wrong in just a few days. I had lost the respect I had just earned and I had lost a friend too. I pushed the door open and flung myself on the bed. Strange

The flight back to Italy was quiet, but there was a storm brewing in our minds. I couldn’t look at Bree without being consumed by guilt. I had promised to watch over her, and I had failed woefully. The mission had failed also, and I was at the verge of setting both families into war. How would I face my father and tell him that the mission had failed? How could I explain it without mentioning what happened to Bree?Byron was standing in front of the mansion, anticipating our arrival. I looked at the large smile plastered on his face as our car parked and I felt my heart brea. He was healing well and the bandage over his shoulder had been removed. I was responsible for that too. I looked at Bree.‘’Bree?’’She raised her eyes to meet mine. ‘’Don’t tell anyone yet, please,’’ i said, feeling my voice crack with guilt. She nodded. I touched her hand and rubbed it gently. I was going to make the Bravta guys pay for what they had done to Bree, and the humiliation I had faced..

It was almost 8pm when Dimitri arrived at the hotel. This time, the look on his face was different. It was a sullen look and I was almost too afraid to ask what their search had yielded. They had found Bree, I could tell.‘’We found her,’’ he said, walking into the room and reaching for a bottle of water on the fridge which he emptied. My stomach was in knots. He let out a deep sigh as he dropped the empty bottle on the table. ‘’There was some mix up,’’ he continued. ‘’She was mistakenly taken by some of our men.’’I clenched my teeth. Mistakenly? They were going to pay with their lives if anything happened to Bree. ‘’But we were able to find her.’’ He turned to the man beside him and barked some orders. ‘’She is here with us.’’The door opened and closed as the man stepped out. Few seconds later, I saw Bree being rolled in on a chair. She was in a clean dress and her hair was packed up nicely, but I could see the bruises on her skin and the pain and exhaustion in her ey
