Another day, another humiliation. Getting dressed in a worn out leggings and bra, I head out my room. Frankly, I am beginning to like it here somehow. No work, just dance. Things would be more better if Luciano would be no where to be found. It would be better as I didn't have 4o pay for food; free food! I est the most delicious meal and the wlsweet part is that they feed me. Hopefully as I am going to the hall for my lame practice, I wish Fee doesn't show up. He has been acting a little off lately and I get what that mean. He is actually bored of me, I did see that coming. Trying to mind my business whole I got close to the hall, I stopped. The scary noise coming from the next hallway seem a bit interesting that I had to go check. Well, been sneaky has been part of my nature so I made sure the yes-men walking out of a direction made me confused. It wasn't as if they could not see me where I stood, they just head pass where I was hiding. "Not bad f
I wasn't sure if I was the one that said that or Dee but his gaze on me seem different. Well, I will just assume that he said that but frankly, I didn't sign up for this. Wait a minute, I didn't even get to read the file before I signed it, making me feel like I have made a very terrible mistake. Well, isn't my life filled with mistakes? Frankly, I wonder if my birth too was a mistake. "What are you doing, Luciano!" Dee whispered harshly "Why is she here?" Should I be the one to answer him? Should I tell him that I was snooping around and got caught? Nah! Let them deal with it. While I watched them talk more about why she why I should not be there, I stared at the man bleeding. I gagged as the strong smell of blood fill my nose. Mere looking at the man's face, I am sure he definitely can not see because his eyes were swollen and colored. His lips too seem bigger than what he was supposed to have and his breath was uneven and loud. His head keeps moving
Before I knew it, I have spent more than a month there. I didn't actually have any way to keep to time or date but I know things were just going really fast. The dance soon became part of me and seeing people get killed? I made sure to stay away from Dee or his brother. The evening seems bright, I haven't seen the sky in a while but I know it. Well, I have to stay in my room all the time when I am not dancing. The room had no single window that I fear these people wanted to suffocate me. The air conditioner in the room seems perfect. Always cold that it sometimes freezes me to death and the good news, is I don't control it too. "I need air" Fresh air. Today's dance went well and as I have gotten the moves, I didn't need the female teacher again. All I got was Dee, he would be seated on his usual chair and watch me like I am some kind of puppet show. "I need fresh air," I said again. I got up, walked to the door, and stopped. Would it be a bad id
'Finally, I would be able to go to school.' I thought to myself as I sat in the back of the jet waiting for a certain Gio. I had not even the slightest idea of what he looked like. The jet was heavily guarded by 5 men, typical of a mafia lord and at that moment, I really felt on top of the world. Definitely, not having to worry about college fees and other bills, in general, makes me happy but the thought of living with Luciano made it seem like it wasn't worth it. Luciano is a very strict man who hardly gave second chances. Walking around his house, there was always a gun somewhere. Once I had mistakenly dragged the tissue paper from the wall frame too hard and a gun fell out. I was basically living with the Devil himself. I didn't want to tell Dee about it before I get into trouble. I turned to my right side to catch a glimpse of his face. Luciano looked so calm and collected and anyone who met him would most likely describe him as sluggish as I
LUCIANO'S POV By the time we arrived, Amara was sleeping. Her neck was bent in a very awkward position that I was sure it would hurt when she woke up but I don't care. Okay, I care. I care how she is so beautiful and got herself into my mess! Shit! I kidnapped her before I could stop myself. Everything about her just seems so perfect. Small and dedicated, the same green eyes, and I bet her lips would be soft too. As I watched her instead of going down to the soil of Italy, I became tempted. Well, I didn't try to hide it, didn't try to stop it especially when I am sure no one would see me. "I miss you, Alita" I whispered, "Just as I hate you". Yes! I hate the woman I love. Bending, I placed my thumb on Amara's lips and caress them. Damn, how delicious it would be if I decide to use it on mine. I lowered my head, felt her warm breath on my face, and groaned. This effect seems really good and I honestly love it! Shit! I can't be doing this!
"Boss, you sent for me. What would you like me to do?" Stefano asked standing at the door. Another day another shit. Still jet lagged, I wished I don't too frustrated or irritated to kill someone this morning. "Put her in another room," I ordered sharply. Amara had been staying in my baby's room for way too long already, if I had any plans to make her mine, I'd better let her feel comfortable. That would definitely never happen. "Preferably one on the third floor," I continued. My room was on the third floor, so it was only right that I let her stay there too. That way I would be able to monitor her and thwart whatever plan Dee had going on. "Let me confirm it, boss." He told me adjusting his microphone. "Madam Alita's room is the only available room on the third floor," Stefano replied quietly after a while, trying not to get me angry but it was unavoidable. At the mention of Alita's name, I banged my fist on the table. "Put her on
Can't believe the week goes this fast that today is Friday. Having lunch with Gio had always been difficult but with an elephant in the mansion, it's horrible. Five days ago, I arrived from the US with Amara and this is the first time I am having a meal with my son. It's Friday and ge came back from school on time because he was complaining of stomach pain. That's definitely a lie, and I know that. "So, Gio, I see you don't want to see Amara after being so anxious on phone," I said putting a piece of beef in my mouth. Silence.Gio didn't answer me, he just stared at his almost empty plate of pasta and smiled. I bet it was because the pasta was good. While I waited for him to talk, he filled his mouth with pasta, making me wait for him. Fra joy, I grew impatient until I remembered I was the one who warned him about not talking while we eat. Just as I had thought, he finished his food before taking a good look at me. His chin dropped as if he wanted to cry b
'Alita don't leave me, please. Please stay, I'll do anything, just stay.' I opened my eyes to the darkness of my room. It was just a dream, this was the third time I was dreaming about Alita this week. On other days, the dreams were always longer but today, a certain sound jolted me out of my dreams. Clapping my hands to turn on the lights, I noticed Gio standing at the side of my bed with a cold look on his face and a gun pointed right at my head. "Ah, the cock of a gun," I said to myself, that was what woke me up. "Does that mean-" I thought and turned my face away slightly embarrassed. Gio must have heard me calling Alita's name begging her to stay. Shit! After a while, I turned my face back in his direction. "What the hell are you doing with a gun?" I questioned him. He shrugged. The look on his face as he moved his eyes from my left hand to his hand holding the gun explained it all to me. I was holding a gun last night and I fucki
