chapter 121

I took in a huge puff of the Cuban cigar tucked in between my fingers, its flaming red end casting a dim glow on the silver ring embedded on my index finger. I trapped the smoke within, letting it burn and heat up my insides before letting it out through my nostrils. "Are you listening to me?" I focused on the wisp of smoke that disappeared into thin air as someone spoke beside me. " I really don't think…""And I don't remember asking your opinion." My voice was curt and precise. I took another long drag before stubbing the end against the ashtray right in front of me." Did I?""I just thought….""Thought?" I echoed as I bent over slightly. My swivel chair squeaked in the almost empty room as I leaned in to take a good look at the lowlife who thought he possessed the ability to think. " No te pago para que pienses! I do not pay you think. You will do your job as you should without any more questions."It wasn't a question. It was an order, one he understood perfectly, if the r

Chapter 122

I don't think I've had as many headaches in the past compared to now. Even with my eyes sealed shut, the pain was excruciating, circling around my head and spreading down my neck which was weird, my neck wasn't supposed to hurt. My eyes flew open immediately and I regretted it. Bright lights filled my vision and shut my eyes again, shielding my eyes temporarily from whatever wanted to blind me. It took a while before I peeled them open again, blinking a couple of times just to test the waters. A bare wall stared back at me. That particular spot didn't look painted, in fact, the entire room wasn't coated with a single streak of paint. A shiver ran down my spine and I shuddered. I didn't like this place, not one bit. It was nowhere near….Something wasn't right. This wasn't the room I was in previously. Flashbacks raided my mind as I tried to put the scattered pieces of my mind together again. I felt the cozy feel of the duvet on my skin, the cold glass being pushed into my grip, the

chapter 123

I watched as the thick smoke swirled around just in front of me, before snaking into wisps and disappearing into thin air. The stench of alcohol was strong, undiluted with a couple of bottles loitering the place. I'd had three, four or maybe five? I wasn't sure. I'd stopped counting after the second bottle. That was what you got when alcohol did nothing to you. I pulled in another long drag of my Cuban cigar, strangely enjoying the wisps of smoke dancing in front of me. A faint buzz reached my ears, but I'd tuned him out a long time ago. I didn't need anyone lecturing me on what I ought and ought not to do. "Alessandro." I let my eyes flutter shut as the gruff voice cut through my thoughts. Despite my efforts, he'd broken through, and easily too. " Are you listening to me?""Why are you still here?" I snapped, my voice icy. " If you're not telling me what I want to hear?""Because it's not right….""It's not right?" I turned to my left slowly. His side profile caught my eye, just

chapter 124

I could feel the air thrum with excitement at the scene in front of me. Or perhaps it was just me. I was slightly and at the same time, overly excited. Why? I was holding a gun. I hadn't been allowed to touch a gun, and in a long time too. I was reckless and I had anger issues too. You could ask Lenard.Who was Lenard? No one knows, because I shot him in the face for stepping on my toes. I'd only started holding a gun again when I got here and trust me when I said it was pure Bliss. Nothing could compare to it and I was definitely looking forward to that feeling right now. "They're your men, huh?" I asked. I knew who the question was for, but if he was wise, he wouldn't dare answer it. And he didn't. I walked around the men that were just brought in. Two scrawny men with nothing but fear in their eyes, and a little rage too."I must say tio Carlo." I stole a glance at my whimpering uncle. " I'm disappointed. Very disappointed. Are these the kind of men you entrusted the safety of

chapter 125

I didn't know for how long I had passed out, but now that I was awake, it didn't make sense that I was having mixed feelings about it. I was like a bunny trapped in a dark hole. I wanted to get out, find out what was on the other side, but the zeal to move was nowhere to be found. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Flashbacks stained my mind, reminding me of things I so desperately wanted to forget. Of all the memories that crossed my mind, one stood out the most out of all of them. The diamond of the season. If only they knew who you really are…I pressed my eyes against each other as his words rang loudly in my ear, each word cutting a gash so deep it physically hurt. You , are a butterfly that dances for money behind closed doors. What would your papa think?With each sentence of his that rang in my ears, I wanted nothing more than to block him out. But the more I tried, the higher his voice went. How you control men old enough to be your father

chapter 126

The stench of alcohol wafted into my nostrils and I scrunched up my nose, fighting the urge to barf for the umpteenth time. It'd barely been an hour since we were here and I couldn't count the number of times I'd almost retched and puked out my guts. Oh, what I would give to be anywhere but here. Neon lights swirled around, the lights focusing on one thing before darting to another in a matter of seconds. If I was being honest, all the eye movement was making my head hurt. Red hue adormed the walls, giving the entire place a red room kind of vibe. My gaze flicked to my right and my pulse quickened immediately, sending my heart into overdrive. After a couple of moments, it went back to it's slpw and steady pace but that didn't stop me from staring. Alessandro sat just right next to me, his entire body shrouded in black. Blank pants hugged from his torso down, while the black material clung tightly to his chest and biceps, almost like a second skin. Two buttons left some exposed a

chapter 127

There was no way I'd just heard right. It just wasn't even possible. Not in this life or the next. Had he any idea what he'd just said? It wasn't some kind of word you could just toss around when you wanted to. It was bloody murder. Murder!“What?!” For a split second, I thought I'd somehow managed to convey my displeasure with just one word. But a couple of moments, I realized the exclamation came from Matteo. “Sir, if you're joking….”“Have you ever seen me smile before?” Alessandro cut in sharply, and now that he mentioned it, I wasn't sure I'd seen him smile either. I wouldn't be shocked if he hasn't cracked a smile in all his years. “You only smile when you crack a joke and I don't do jokes.”“But sir.” There was a hint to Matteo's voice, one I didn't want to consider what it really meant. “ You want her to shoot him? Look at her. She barely looks like she could hurt a fly.”Ouch. As much as that stung and it was basically an insult wrapped up in a couple of slightly less

chapter 128

A cool breeze rushed at me the moment I swung the door at the top of the stairwell open. Like a door leading to somewhere unknown, I stepped into the fresh air. The space in front of me was empty, with nothing but a glass railing that bordered off the edges. It was basically a flat surface with a good view. I sighed as I walked to the railing and the sight of people strolling along the walkway and a couple of cars twinkling underneath the night sky cane to view. Nostalgia washed over me as I gazed down below. It looked exactly like one of the streets back at home. Or if I was being specific, it looked just like the street where I was kidnapped.Alessandro. My mind went back to him immediately and my heart leapt in fear. I had no idea what the time was but I was sure of one thing, time was ticking and fast. I still wasn't sure what I was doing and if I was going to pull through with Alessandro's ridiculous command. Kill him, or risk the chance of seeing your father. Something

chapter 129

I tapped my fingertips against the small booth table in front of me, an off the best rhythm emanating from beneath my hands. It sounded awful and I knew Matteo's constant musing in the back was as a result of it. But what was I supposed to do? It was the only way I could stop myself from charging into the very same backdoor Isabella marched into a couple of minutes ago. Minutes? At this point it felt like hours, too many hours if I was being honest. “What's taking her so long?” I muttered to no one in particular. Yes, Matteo was behind me, but I had an inkling his attention span was nowhere around me. In the past minutes and more, I'd watched Matteo's eyes as he trailed each and everyone of the serving girls up front. I could bet a million dollars that if I wasn't here with him, he would have definitely walked up to a couple of them, if not all. “ Don't you think fifteen minutes have passed already?I got nothing in response, just the dull hum of slow jazz music wafting out t

chapter 130

“I'll do it.” The words tasted like bile as I spat it out. I'd been on my knees for only God knew how long and they were starting to ache, but not as bad as the ache that spread through my chest at my very own words. “I'll do it. I'll kill Federico Bianchi.” Silence. Silence was all that could be heard, except the occasional hoots and cackles that came from the group at the front. The more I waited for the verdict of my answer, the more I became aware of my surroundings. The dim music was close to non-existent now, with nothing but hollow neon lights flashing now and then. At first they were pretty and we're a nice distraction from everything else going on, but now, the only thing it seemed to do was lit up my face when it wasn't necessary. It felt like the club had been divided into two equal halves. Ours full of gloom while theirs (Federico Bianchis ) was brimming with excitement. If you counted smacking strippers and asking them for obnoxious favors, that Is. “You've made
