All on my mind was to end everything. The headache again. This time it was severe. I could hardly hear anything, just a siren sound in my ear that kept ringing.I nearly collapsed but my men held me. Nothing again made sense to me. They helped me to a couch and before I settled them I grabbed a gun from one of my men and shot the damn Martins.

The room felt like it was closing in around me. In my mind,
The Female King Chapter 7 Don Gustavo
Gustavo's POVEverything was blurry around me when I woke up. I felt this strong ache around my head. The electrocardiogram was beeping so loudly beside me. All I felt was pain all over. My hands were stretched over to my head as I groaned in pain. It was covered with a bandage.I was furious as thoughts of how I ended here flashed through my memory. That bitch did this to me!She won't get away with thisPablo entered the room alongside a cook who dropped some fruits and food on the table before she left.“You are awake boss,” he greeted as he stood beside the bed.“How long have I been bedridden?” I asked sharply. I was not in the same outfit I had planned to go out with that fateful day before Esmeralda shot me.“Three days,” Pablo, a man of few words hardly says much. He just goes straight to the point, having worked with me for a long time to gain my trust.One special thing I love about him is his swiftness and intelligence. “How did you find me?” I persisted “You were in th
The Female King Chapter 6 Bad Decisions
Esmeralda's POVMy heart was pounding heavily as the guard was still on call.What if Gustavo had been found and he made a warrant to catch me?The call ended and his eyes were still fixed on me. Fortunately, the gateman opened the gate. I quickly drove inside to pick up my boys. “The boss didn’t tell us that you will be coming to take the children,” The guard said. He looked menacing in his muscular build and tall figure. He wore only a jacket to cover his trunk. A dark dirty-looking jean trouser wrapped his waist and legs. I could see a pistol attached to a side-hold and something that looked like an AK-47 was dangled by the side, held by a strap attached to his shoulder. He was still holding the phone in his right hand.“Does the boss need permission from you to pick up his children or to ask anyone to pick them up?” I pursed my lips.Despite the pain in my leg, I managed to sound convincing. The look on the guard’s face shifted from shock to confusion. Satisfied, I matched to
The Female King Chapter 5 The Escape
Esmeralda's POV His mocking laughter suddenly changed to a growl when his phone rang out. Who dares interrupt his fun? He stepped back a few meters away from me to pick up the call. The contour of his face changed visibly as he stormed out of the basement. Rolling to my side, I felt something sharp, It pricked me making me winch in pain. Taking a closer look at the object, it was his key. He had dropped it mistakenly as he was overwhelmed with making fun of me. Every time I tried to give up, hope always made sure to find its way to me. I cross-checked the keys and saw that the ones to my chains were there as well. I quickly removed the key to my chain and hid it in my bra. I knew he would come back for the keys. I devised an escape plan for myself along with my kids. Feeling motivated, I unlocked the chains on my hand and leg and a new feeling of freedom graced me, yet the uncertainty that waited for me above was far greater than the feeling of freedom. It felt like a trap, but
The Female King Chapter 4 The end of me
Esmeralda's POVI haven't laid my eyes on Gustavo since he returned from his business trip and I hoped it would remain that way. I left my room which was also my prison to grab a glass of water. The hallway was quiet with no guards standing on guard. Just then, I heard soft moans emanating from the study area, just down the hall. I tiptoed to the scene, hoping it was one of the guards and the maids. I couldn't believe the sight before me. Gustavo was pants down in the study with Lucia circling her legs around his waist as he grabbed her naked bum. “Lucia?” I screamed in disbelief. I felt my chest tighten as deep anger coursed through my body. "I thought we were friends," I muttered to myself, finding it hard to believe the scene before me. I've known Gustavo for such an act but not expecting it to be with Lucia. “What are you doing here?” Gustavo’s voice thundered, reverberating across the entire room. I felt my entire world crumble before me as hot tears streamed down my face. I
The Female King Chapter 3 The Overdrive
Esmeralda's POVThoughts of a happy marital life flooded my mind but I was trapped in this mansion that had become my new prison. I found myself in a different world. The opulence that surrounds me is both captivating and overwhelming. My days were no longer filled with the hustle and bustle of the streets and how I would run errands for Aunty Martha. Instead, I am held captive in this gilded fortress. My every move is being watched by his ruthless men. “I'll be traveling for a business meeting to Peru. I’ll be gone for a day or two. Don’t miss me much and if you behave nicely, I might consider letting you see the boys,” he said with a smirk on his face, as he buckled his pants. He was done taking me by force again. This was my new life, he never touched me like a normal man would, he always grabbed me by force, molesting me at every chance he got. I had no one to cry to, no one to help me. The maids, and his men all turned a blind eye to my plight. Like I was invisible to all of t
The Female King Chapter 2 The Transaction
Esmeralda's POVI woke up to a loud bang on the door-It was Gustavo. He was accompanied by two maids as they made their way into my room. I jerked from my slumber as I rubbed my tired eyes. “Rise and shine pretty face. We’ve got some important guests to visit today. The maids will get you ready,” he declared, before sauntering away from my room. "Jerk," I cursed under my breath. He always had a way of bending me to his will. After the birth of my triplet sons, he took them away from me, holding them as ransom, in case I tried to escape from the hell which he created for me. I sighed as I made my way to the bathroom. The maids adorned me in all kinds of makeup, with a red gown that clasped my petite stature. Looking at the mirror, I was stunned by my sudden transformation. But deep inside, I was a wrecking mess. “You look beautiful Carinó,” Gustavo said, complimenting my outfit when he walked into the room.
