ZESA RUSSO

“I have a confession to make.”

Eric’s full attention was on me, a hint of confusion sparkling in his green eyes as I came to stand in front of him, bouncing on my toes. I felt bad. I’d lied to him or simply did not tell him who I was. Either way, I felt awful. If Finn had kept quiet, I would have gotten to know more about this man.

“I am actually Zesa Russo.” I confessed.

There was silence between us for some seconds.

“What?” he asked after a moment, as if he hadn’t heard what I had said.

“I am Zesa Russo. I own Techya.”

His eyes were blank. Their owner was alive, but it was only visible by the shallow rise and fall of their chest. Was what I said that shocking to be able to destroy him so thoroughly he didn’t even seem present in his own mind?

“Eric.” I called, joggling him while Finn exhaled like a drama queen behind me.

“How?” he asked, looking at Finn as though hoping he would say otherwise.

“She is Zesa Russo.” Said Finn in a nonchalant tone. “Now, if you do

    NINA MEYERS I wanted to scream. To yell at someone. To yank out my hair and just sit on the floor to cry. Alejandro watched me from across my room while I curled up like a ball on the bed after the bomb he’d dropped on me. He’d just told me Jaylen had leukemia and was in the hospital. I hated myself for putting myself in a situation where I couldn’t march to the hospital and demand to be by his side. It was killing me that I couldn’t hold his tiny hand and caress his face. “Did Levi have leukemia at one point?” he asked me. I didn’t need to lift my head from my knees to know he was standing beside me. “I don’t know, but I suffered from it as a child.” “That explains it.” he said, not even a trace of sympathy in his voice. “He got it from you.” I peered at him from under my lashes. “What?” “He got it from you.” he repeated. “It can sometimes be genetic.” “I didn’t know that.” “Well, now you do.” He said, eyes fixed on the vanity before him. I watched him sit down beside me on t

    ZESA RUSSO My eyes were bloodshot from too many days without enough sleep, and from the weight of all I’d had taken on. I had to find time for my work and take turns to watch Jaylen during his treatment. I felt bitter and hopeless when the doctor told us that neither me nor Levi were a match. It stirred up a bit of frustration in me as I drove to the orphanage to see the kids after a long day at work. I brought with me gifts of which some were specially prepared for Celine and Christoph. By the time I arrived at the orphanage, there were some kids outside playing outside in thick layers of clothing to keep them warm. Then I glimpsed Christoph holding a ball. He grinned when he caught my eyes before disappearing into the orphanage. What was that? I got down from the car just as Juliane came out alongside two older boys. I guessed they would be around sixteen or seventeen. One had shaggy brown hair and the other one had a buzz cut. Juliane went around the car to meet me, h

    ZESA RUSSOI sat across from James and his wife, whose name I’d come to learn was Sienna. It was taking every single self-restraining nerve I had to not lash out at him and eventually rip his hair out of his head. He held my murderous gaze with panicked ones, as though asking me to keep silent and not say anything about Asher and Amaris. He’d failed to gain custody of them thanks to yours truly, me, and now he was trying to adopt the two children who had a special place in my heart. I could never allow him to do that.“Is there something I’m missing?” Sienna asked, her eyes trained on the heartless snake she called her husband. She turned to me. “Do you know my husband?”“Yes. I know your husband very well.”“Zesa.” he gritted his teeth, “Be quiet.”I did not like his crusty, bitter gaze and was not afraid to tell him as much. “Don’t you ever call my name and secondly, don’t ask me to be quiet.” I focused on the worry-filled eyes of his wife. “May I ask you a question?”“By all means,

    NINA MEYERS I was seated in the living room, watching an opera, when Alejandro came into the house. The little fucker had a key for himself. Unmoving, I watched him enter the house until he was right in front of me, obstructing my view of the TV. I lowered my gaze to the black suitcase in his hand and then to his face. He stared at me for a solid eight seconds without as much as a word. “Are you going to just stand there and not talk? What’s in the bag?” Evil wasn’t just in his eyes, but in the smile that curled back like a predator ready to snap. “A gun.” “A gun?” “Why, I believe I just said so.” He sat down on the coffee table. “I got it for you.” “Why would I need a gun?” “I didn’t bring you here to watch movies and eat. I brought you here because you have a lot of things to do for me. One of which includes killing Levi Del Campa.” I opened my mouth to speak, but he put out his index finger, asking me to be quiet. “And before you complain and say, ‘but he is the f

    ZESA RUSSO A hard knot constricted my throat when I heard Sophia’s scream. Something was wrong. I curled my fingers around the cold metal doorknob and twisted it, praying to God that Nina hadn’t done something to Sophia. The girl was annoying as hell, but I didn’t want any harm to come her way. Who would I show off to if something bad was to happen to her?“Sophia.” I pounded my fist on the door when I realized it was locked. “Sophia!”Something was definitely wrong.“Help!” I shouted, glancing around. “Somebody, please help!” Two men who’d probably accompanied someone to the hospital came to help as well as a nurse. “Something has happened to Sophia. We need to get to her.”“Step aside.” One man said, moving backward.We obeyed, and I watched in fascination as he ran to the door. In one kick, he brought the door down. Was the door not strong enough, or was he really strong? Either way, he impressed me. I ran into Sophia’s office and went behind her desk. The sight of her b

    ALEJANDRO ORTEGADISCLAIMER: Acts of abuse. A bit kinky, but yeah… just in case it makes you uncomfortable, please skip. I apologize in advance if this brings back any negative memory. Useless! Absolutely useless!I paced the apartment I’d gotten Nina, impatiently waiting for her to arrive. What was so hard about luring one man to a secluded place and getting rid of him? Absolutely nothing! But Nina fucking Meyers had to mess it up. Not only did she ruin everything. She got Sophia shot when she should have buried a bullet deep into the skull of that prick.As I waited for her, I busied myself with the bottle of whiskey I found in the kitchen. It delivered the needed burn to my throat and chest. On my third glass, the doorknob twisted and the little bitch came in, her hoodie covering her head. She froze when she saw my shoes in the doorway. Slowly, she lifted her head from my shoes to meet my heated glare.She swallowed thickly. “Alejandro,”I studied her with unforgiving ju

    ALEJANDRO ORTEGA ‘19 Java Boulevard Street.’ The address of the place Levi and his son were kept hostage was sent to me about two hours after my call with Enzo. My eyes closed in restrained elation at the text. Quick and effective. Enzo was just amazing. I went over to Nina, who was now aware of her surroundings and shivering from the cold. I lifted her chin. “I have your darling Levi where I want him.” Her teeth chattered when she tried to speak. It didn’t stop her, though. “I’m c-c-cold.” “It’s your punishment.” I let go. “Try not to catch a cold.” Without a care in the world, I exited the apartment, making sure to lock the door. The drive to the abandoned house was a good forty-five minutes’ drive, but since it was past 5a.m, there wasn’t traffic. I parked in front of the house and got down. I rubbed my arms when the frosty morning air kissed my skin like a lover would. The house before must have been a home with kids in it. What could have once been a lovely rose

    ZESA RUSSO By the time Finn and Malena arrived at the hospital, I was almost sure I’d lost my mind. Whenever I thought of the condition Jaylen could be in, my heart felt as though tiny needles pricked my heart. I considered calling the police and demanding they arrest Alejandro, but Finn stopped me time and time again. Just like he was now.“You’ll only make things worse.” He reasoned, taking my phone from me.I slid down the wall until my buttocks came into contact with the floor. My hands went into my hair and I gripped them. “What am I to do then? What am I to do as a mother? How am I supposed to just sit still and wait for something bad to happen to my son?”“Technically…” he kept mute when he saw Malena’s deathly glare. “What I’m trying to say is you shouldn’t call the police. Considering how much he hates Levi, he could easily kill him.”“What about Nina?” Malena questioned, drawing my attention to her. “Is she aware they took her son from the hospital?”At this point

    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
