ZESA RUSSO The beeping of the heart monitor coming from Kailea’s room filled my ears while we saw her. Louryn had lost a little weight out of worry for her daughter. I understood where she was coming from. No mother would want to see their child in such a condition. The doctor in charge of Kailea came into the room with two nurses behind her.“Miss Russo,” she brought her hand for a handshake. I shook it, mirroring her smile. “It’s good you’re here. I was just about to speak to Miss Louryn since she seems to be anxious about her daughter.”Louryn interlocked her fingers as panic sent on her face. “Doc, is my baby okay?”“Kailea is doing well. She should be a lot better after surgery. You don’t have to worry too much. We’re going to do everything we can for her.”“Please do so.” Louryn begged. “She’s all I have in this world.”“I understand. I’ll leave now.” The doctor said before leaving the room.Levi and I followed behind Louryn as she left the room. Tears were streaming
LEVI DEL CAMPA Zesa flew out of the country about five hours ago. Surprisingly, I found it hard to be alone without someone to talk to or look at. It made me remember I did exactly what I didn’t like to Zesa. I hardly came home and whenever I did, all she got was attitude. I paced about the living room to busy myself, thinking about how disappointed she must have been to see me just get dressed and leave. The most annoying part was that the woman I did all those for didn’t even love me the same way I loved her.I picked my phone from the table when it began ringing. Speak of the devil. I ignored her call only to get a text. She wanted to meet up. I thought she was leaving the country? I texted her, telling her to come over. It seemed she was already outside because one of the security men outside came into the house to inform me of a woman’s visit. I asked them to let her in.Moments later, the sound of clicking heels reverberated in the house. I spun around to see her. The curly hair
ALEJANDRO ORTEGA Levi Del Campa was getting on my nerves. He didn’t love Zesa, so why was he still around her? I heard he filed for a divorce. What in the world was taking so long? What was holding him to her? Could it be that he was starting to return her love? My head snapped up, and I took off my glasses when a knock sounded on the door, pulling me out of my thoughts. Sophia staggered into my study, reeking of alcohol. My hardened visage softened at the sight of her, and my pants tightened. Her breasts were almost falling out of the tight shirt she wore and I could see the lower part of her butt cheeks since her leather shorts were more than short. I knew what she was here for and I too; I needed it as much as she did. She went around the mahogany desk in front of me and straddled me, her hands going into my hair.“Why did you drink so much?” I asked, even though I didn’t care the slightest bit. It wouldn’t hurt to pretend to care. I just wanted her pussy around my dick

Thankfully, I was able to explain to and comfort the families of the deceased. After reassuring them that Apselpane would no longer be used for the production of Veltrina-50, they were relieved, while some cried that the change should have happened soon. I still consoled them. At the airport, Finn came to pick me up, holding up a sign that read welcome home. One would think I was away for two years. I would have told Levi the time of my arrival, but I wanted to do as I planned. It was a tactic I was hoping would work on him. “Did you enjoy it over there?” Finn asked, putting my bag into the trunk. “I didn’t go there for enjoyment. But I’m glad things went well. I have compensated the families of t
ZESA RUSSO Levi took my suitcase and went into the house. I so desperately wished to hug him from behind and kiss him, but I was afraid of how he would react. His feelings for me weren’t quite there yet. Inside the house, the delicious aroma of food wafted through the air and my stomach reacted with a growl. I had yet to have a proper meal since I woke up. I only had a cup of coffee before boarding the plane. As I hoped, Levi did not go to work because of me. I made a beeline for the dinner table to see what he had prepared. Tafelspitz—beef boiled in a broth of vegetables and spices. The next was Knödel—a sweet and savory dumpling that served as the side dish. For desert, it was Kaiserschmarrn—basically fluffy shredded pancakes. It was topped with jam and caramelized dry fruits. The mere sight of it was enough to make me want to drool. Trying my possible best to not look touched, I sat down at the dinner table. “You did this…” I trailed off, placing my handbag down on th
ZESA RUSSO Pulling my bra off my body, he attacked my breasts with bites and kisses, leaving marks while I shook underneath him. Nerves pinched at my stomach when he cupped both breasts in his hands, stroking over my erect nipples while his lips traveled to the crook of my neck, pressing open-mouthed kisses against my hot skin. The heat between my legs intensified, growing like a wild fire at every touch from him. “Levi,” I whimpered when he bit down on my shoulder, sending waves of pleasure through me. There was a growing dampness in my pussy and I ached for more of him. He kissed me as if asking me to be quiet, pushing my head back down onto the pillow as his kiss became harder and my body became hotter with lust. The need between us became a lot more obvious as we grasped each other in a passion of kisses and caresses. Too engrossed in the kiss, I did not know when he undid the string of my pants. My breath hitched in my throat when I felt his hand graze my dampened c
ZESA RUSSO DISCLAIMER: This chapter might be triggering for some readers. Mention of child abuse. Read at your own risk. Two weeks had gone by since Levi and I had sex. I used to hear people say sex sometimes brought people closer and in my case; it was true. We got closer and often did a lot of things together. I finally felt like a woman in marriage. I didn’t have to wait until midnight for him to come home; I didn’t have to eat alone because he always made time to eat with me. Everything was perfect. Today, we were headed to Hope world orphanage. We planned on going to see Louryn during the week. Last week, she agreed to go to school. We were even more surprised when she said she wanted to stay in the country to further her education. Something about not wanting to keep running away. Levi parked the car in front of the building of the orphanage—a three story building on the outskirts of town with a garden out in the front and a playground just on its west boundary. T
NINA MEYERS I did not know what I was thinking when I agreed to work for Zesa. I guess I thought she wouldn’t do what her eyes said because of my condition. I was wrong. Very wrong. I might have seen her as a woman with a kind heart who wouldn’t treat a pregnant woman harshly, but the few days I’d spent in their home told me otherwise. I’d only learned that she had two sides. She could be a woman like an angel and she could be the devil. I stood in front of the washing machine in the laundry room, putting in the clothes she gave me to wash. Most of them were clean, by the way. As I put them in, I heard her footsteps from behind me. It could only be her because Levi was not home. He’d left in the early hours of the morning for an important meeting. I’d heard them discussing. He left the mother of his child alone with his insane wife. “Why are you putting those clothes in the washing machine?” she queried, going to take them out before throwing them into the laundry basket
ZESA RUSSO Fifteen minutes later, Levi arrived at the orphanage. It made me happy to know that he’d stopped by somewhere to get the kids gifts because he had bags upon bags of gifts. While the nuns shared the gifts amongst the kids, Levi joined me in Juliane’s office. I still hadn’t swallowed down what she had said. Was it when we did it in the car? But it had been over three weeks since then. Dear Lord, please save me.“Hey,” I was forced out of my thoughts when I felt Levi’s hand on my thigh.“Huh?” His eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. “You’ve been spacing out.”“I have a lot on my mind.” I responded, managing a small smile for him. To change the subject, I turned to Juliane who was staring at me before I even looked in her direction. She had succeeded in dropping a heavy bomb on me and she knew it. “What were you saying about the adoption?”Juliane averted her eyes to Levi. “Mr. Del Campa, earlier I suggested adoption to your wi
ZESA RUSSO Ever since the release of Veltrina-50, Techya got more attention from companies abroad and a lot more than normal in the country. I was proud of the researchers who made it possible and, because of that, increased their pay. They deserved that much. Back then, I thought we would be unable to perfect the drug, but the result exceeded my expectations. I’d just wrapped up a meeting with the researchers to thank them since I could not do it at the time of the release.With Leandra by my side, I made my way to my elevator, only stopping when I saw Eric come out of an elevator. We’d failed to talk about things the last time we saw each other. I looked over my shoulder at Leandra. “I’ll be up soon.”“Alright, ma’am.”I walked over to him, noting how he had a file with the company’s name on it. His brother must have given it to him.“Eric,” I said, tapping him lightly on the shoulder. He turned around with a smile that immediately disappeared and his expression turned bu
ALEJANDRO ORTEGADISCLAIMER: This chapter contains slight sexual harassment. Read at your own risk. {After the first _}THREE WEEKS LATER I was livid with the betrayal of Enzo, Sophia, and her father. They cast me aside, and left me to suffer the very minute I found myself in a ditch. Even my father would have done the same if he hadn’t been caught trying to flee the country. The pain of knowing that he wanted to choose himself and leave me to suffer on my own sank deep into my flesh and into my bones.I stood before the court as they announced my sentence before Zesa Russo, whose face looked like it hurt from smiling too much. She reached into her purse and pulled out a rainbow colored handkerchief to wipe at her nonexistent tears. What did she offer Sophia that was just too irresistible that she let go of her so-called love for me? Was it always that easy to get rid of me if I proved to be useless to her? Had she lied to me the entire time?I looked at the man beside
FINN GIOVANNI After Zesa showed me what dirt she had on Alejandro’s father, I was disgusted. Harming people without remorse was really their thing. Once she’d sent the mail to a news station, I saw her happiness double. I was glad she wanted revenge as much as I did. It brought joy to my soul. In a few hours it would be released and people would want to know the truth. Their stocks would drop and they would be taken to court and humiliated. What better revenge was there than watching the person who hurt my sister go down with his father and cherished company?I trailed behind Zesa with my hands in my pocket as she made her way to Alejandro’s room where four police officers were situated outside. The two at the door moved to the side to let us in. Sophia had already beat us and boy, was she furious. Her body shook with rage as tears rolled down her face. Alejandro simply took it in with his head lowered. What was this? He wasn’t snapping at her because I knew very well he wa
ZESA RUSSO I’d never had sex in a car before. Until now.Levi unlocked the car and I slid into the backseat, taking off my heels and panties as I watched him go around the car to the driver’s side before proceeding to amp up the A/C. He joined me in the back after making sure he’d locked everywhere. “This is nerve-wracking,” I whispered softly, reaching my hand out to his groin to unbuckle and unzip the clothes in my way.“That’s what makes it fun.” He responded, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth, releasing a moan that told me he needed a release and that I was the only one who could do something about it.He lifted himself slightly and peeled down his boxers, revealing the tip of his bloodshot cock that was clearly causing him a lot of anguish, as it lay engorged over his belly, malformed in how it curved to the side. It throbbed and twitched as though happy to see me. He bucked his hips and his drooling dick rose, head pointed straight at my face.My hand hovered
ZESA RUSSO By the time I arrived at the spa, Sophia was already there and had settled in. A worker directed me to the massage room after I stripped out of my dress and draped a robe over my body. I opened the door and was pleasantly surprised by the interior that seemed to differ from what I’d seen so far. The room boasted sandy-pink walls and a dramatic tiered ceiling, which staggered upwards into a cone-like shape. In the middle of the room were two beds, both covered in crisp white sheet that with a towel on top, save for the pillows. It seemed she wanted an oil massage for me. Close to the door was a green terrazzo vanity that brought back the natural vibe the spa gave off. On one bed was Sophia with her head turned away from me while a masseuse massaged her legs. Another masseuse stood at the foot of the bed I was to occupy. I looked towards the table close to the window with two vases and a phonograph that played soft, classical music. It was soothing and created a
ZESA RUSSOOne of the hardest things I’ve ever had the displeasure of comprehending was the funeral of a child.I’d heard that one of the things a parent wished for was to be buried by their child when they become old and wither away like a flower. Not the other way around. This was clear to me as I drowned in my sorrows, feet marching into this black abyss called a graveyard. In the snow and frigid air, all I could hear was the heavy, pounding feet of others as we marched as one. I and Levi’s hands clenched together, gripping at each other as though the pain would subside if we squeezed hard enough. It was purely a superficial comfort to help console others, rather than ourselves.I stood shivering next to a deep hole that had been dug where the casket would be lowered into. While waiting for the pallbearers to deliver the body, I thought about what my life would be like once mother earth swallowed him up. How it would feel to sleep knowing that his cries wouldn’t wake me up in the mi
FINN GIOVANNI Malena and I sat side by side in an awkward silence beside Sophia who had regained consciousness and was currently crying her eyes out. We’d told her everything, and it somehow ended up with her crying. Was it out of disappointment or just the feeling of hurt? I couldn’t tell.“How could he do such a thing to me?” she sobbed, her shoulders shaking as droplets of pain dropped from her eyes. “I knew he was an asshole, but this is too much. He lied to me about an engagement,” she wiped at her tears. “Got a woman out of jail when she’s supposed to be in there serving her time. Now, how am I supposed to face my parents and friends?”“Sophia.” Malena put her hand on Sophia’s in a bid to console her. “You shouldn’t be crying over such a person. He isn’t worth it. No man deserves your tears.”“I know,” she sniffled. “But I love him.”She lowered her eyes to her thighs. “We sometimes love the wrong ones.” It was like a punch to the gut when she looked at me. “Doesn’t m
ZESA RUSSO The police were taking too long to arrive. I was losing my patience. Whilst I waited in the car for them to arrive, Alejandro drove past me. Why now of all times? Why would he come in now? I glanced around the house’s surrounding. There was no sign of Nina. She was long gone into the house, though. If she was dead, I did not know. I got down from my car after watching Alejandro go in. There was not enough time to wait. If he were to get his hands on the contract, he would not hesitate to kill Levi. I couldn’t have that. The least I could do was stall.With my heart beating loudly in my ears, I got closer to the house. Thankfully, he’d left the gate open, so I did not have to draw attention to myself by touching the metal. I lifted my leg to take another step when I heard a blood-curdling scream. I halted in my steps when I realized that the voice belonged to Nina. Something had happened. I looked down at my hands to see that they were quivering with fear with eac
