Chapter One.

Alfonso glared at the red-haired beauty that wore next to nothing. She was seductively dancing with a man, who had his hands all over her. He wondered how she got into such an exclusive club. No doubt another wealthy man had fallen into her trap. The girl was a tease. For two months straight, she had been extorting thousands of dollars from him. He hadn’t even touched her because she lied that she was a virgin and wanted to wait. Somewhere deep down he had been prepared to settle with her. Right then, he wondered how someone so hot and sexy could be a virgin. He was blinded by his supposed love for her.

He had been searching for her. She had been the one to steal his gold wristwatch, phone, and the 100 dollar bills in his wallet after she drugged him. A gold-digging deceptive snake was what she was. He wondered if she had lied about her name too.

She was going to get what was coming to her so much that she would not know what hit her. It was like he didn’t have more than enough, but he hated when he met gold diggers like her and the prick that impregnated his sister that was now his brother-in-law.

He was going to get her just where he wanted her that there would be no way she would escape. He watched as he sipped on his whiskey. He was not even paying attention to the girl on his lap wearing only a thong.

Chanel had messed with the wrong man.

One month later.....

Chanel smiled at her father who lay on the hospital bed. He looked so frail and tired. She was still paying the hospital bills. The cancer was so bad. She hated that he had to go through this. He had done so much for her and now look at him. He was dying slowly before her eyes.

“Now don’t look at me like that, honey. ” Joshua said caressing his daughter’s hair. She had grown up so much and he could tell how much she was fighting to keep him in this hospital.

“I’m not,” Chanel said, trying to keep her tears at bay. She didn’t want to break down in front of him.

“You know you don’t have to do all you’re doing for me. You have your life to live. You’re just 23, darling.” Joshua said, letting out a cough.

“I know daddy, but this is what I’m happy doing and what life would I have without you. ” She said taking his hand in hers. "You will be fine. ” She said trying to reassure herself.

“Your mother would be so proud of you. We both love you so much. ” Joshua said. He knew he was going to fall asleep anytime soon. He could feel it.

Chanel couldn’t hold it in then. She remembered her mother’s death like yesterday when she was twenty. It had broken her and her father, but it drew them closer. Now her dad was sick, dying of cancer.

“Don’t cry, honey. Your mother would be proud of you,” Her father repeated once again before he fell asleep.

That was not really what made her cry. The fact that she had to cling onto those rich proud men that only thought of money. The way she got her money, either drugging or extorting the men. She was glad none of them had come back for her.

The one that got to her most was a tall burly Italian. He always looked dangerous and she was always scared when they were alone, but he was stinking rich that he didn’t know what to do with his money. Alfonso De Rosa. There was no way she could forget him. She ended it because she felt there was more coming from it and she didn’t want all that. She had already deceived him and she didn't want to have a relationship with him based on lies. 

Chanel picked up herself and kissed her father’s head before making her way to her home. At least they had a home to their name.

The first thing she always did when she got home was to check their money. The money she would pay next month's hospital bills with. She did.

Chanel stood on shaky legs breathing deeply as she read the note in the money box. She almost passed out.

Stupid puta. You think you can get away with taking my money. Fuck you.  
-A.

Chanel almost died from shock. She knew that smell. His very expensive cologne. She was going mad. He had entered her house and taken her money. It was all over for her. How would she pay her father’s hospital bills? Tears flowed freely from her eyes. She had to find a way to contact him. How did he find out where she lived? She quickly put the box up back in place and looked out the window.

Before she could even think of leaving her room, there stood a tall bald man. All muscle. There was not an ounce of fat on his body.

“You need to come with me,” his thick voice informed her.

“What? Why?” She asked her eyes already scanning the room, looking for how to escape.

The man didn’t bother answering her questions. He only carried her out of the room, screaming, shouting, and punching with tears flowing down her cheeks.

Chanel knew she had messed with the wrong man.

*******

Chanel woke up the next day in a strange room. She could hardly remember what happened the night before, but that was when it all came back. Oh God! Alfonso was a very very dangerous man. She should have gone with her instincts and stayed away from him. She knew she had been drugged or sedated.

She tried the door handle but all to no avail. She was stuck here. She needed to go and see her father. She didn’t want him worrying about her. This motherfucker better come and open the door now, she thought her angry side popping its head.

Just then, the door was unlocked and an old lady walked in with a tray. Was this a joke? Did they think this was what she was going to be stuck here doing? They were sick if that was what they thought.

“Hey. You need to let me out now. I don’t fucking care. Call Alfonso. I need to leave this place. ” She said angrily to the old lady but the woman only looked at her strangely. It was like the woman didn’t understand one word she was saying.

The old lady then smiled before speaking. 
“Alfonso....not here....” It was only three words this woman could grace her with and she decided on not taking her anger out on the woman.

She quickly went to the door and ran out of the room. She ran down the stairs only to be met by the same tall man who took her out of her house.

“I need to go,” She said looking up at the big man. He only ignored her and walked into the kitchen.

“Are you fucking dumb? I need to go! I can’t stay here! Tell that stupid Alfonso that he has no right to do this to me, ” She shouted not caring that she was making a fuss.

“Yes...like you should have no right to be here, or even alive. ” Chanel gasped at hearing that voice. She was shocked. She didn’t even hear anyone coming behind her.

Alfonso stood there. Tall and proud in his mighty glory. He was wearing his signature charcoal suit. She was sure it was very expensive from the way it hugged his muscles. She looked at the face she couldn’t forget for the past two months. He was still as handsome as ever. His exotic brown eyes, pink lips, straight nose, and long lashes. Not to talk of his stubble that made him look manly. His hair had a part in the middle. He still wore it long as she remembered.

She quickly recovered from her shock.

“You have no right to do this to me. Let me just inform you that this is kidnapping. You have kept me here against my will, ” She spat at him, her deep green eyes blazing in anger.

“Like you stole from me some months ago and let’s not forget how you drugged me, ” Alfonso said angrily. She was acting as if she was the victim here.

“I so did not drug you. You slept all on your own, dickhead. Now let me go,” Adela said, crossing her arms under her breasts making them appear fuller.

“Wanna repeat that?” Alfonso said, walking slowly to her which made her take a step back, with every step he took one forward.

He grabbed her jaw in his tight grip before he spoke. 
“Don’t be throwing insults at me. I don’t like it one bit,” He finished before he not so kindly released her, which made her cry out.

“You disgusting pig. Don’t you ever touch me again, bastard!” She yelled at him while touching her jaw.

“The fuck did you just say?” Alfonso said, moving towards her again.

“Nothing...I didn’t say shit. ” She said, second thinking her reply. Her cheeks were still hurting.

Chanel realized how much trouble she was in just then. This was definitely not the Alfonso she had met the last two months. This one was a hot head nothing like the one she knew.

“I need to leave. ” Chanel said trying to sound more polite.

“Oh yeah. Door’s right there. ” He said pointing to the door.

Chanel knew he was teasing her. There was no way that door could be opened, but she still tried her luck.

“Alfonso. Please be serious. I really need to leave.” Chanel said she didn’t want to reveal the condition of her father to him.

“Yeah like I was serious all those months ago right? Giving you all that cash. Don’t even know what I saw in a hoe like you. ” Alfonso said looking at her straight in the eye. He didn’t miss the surprised and hurt look that crossed her face. Then it all switched to anger.

“You’re the one that’s a hoe. A dumb fuck even. Ha! And if I’m a hoe then a hoe played you, so suck it up and give me back my money,” Chanel said, surprising herself even. She had never been one to keep quiet when she was insulted or put down.

Alfonso looked like he was going to pounce on her before he ran a hand through his hair and threw the keys and a bag at her.

“There’s more of that to come,” He said nudging his head towards the bag. “One night. One night with me. I’ll pay for you, ”

“You fucking animal!” Chanel slapped him across his face, making his head turn. She picked up the bags and key before she unlocked the door and left. Just like that.

Alfonso was left staring at the sway of her sexy hips. She had a nice booty. Just what he liked. He would like to see what her booty and legs looked like under her jeans and that was just what he would do. He would just wait a week or two and she would come begging again.

******

Chanel showered quickly when she reached her apartment and made her way to the hospital. She changed the position where she kept her money. She didn’t want any surprises coming anymore.

“Good morning, daddy,” Chanel said kissing her father’s cheek. He was awake and she was surprised. He always slept in the mornings.

“I was wondering when you would arrive. What happened?” He asked looking at his daughter with so much love. She was a replica of her mother.

“Just got caught up. You know sleep, traffic. ” She said trying to make her lie sound as true as possible.

“Okay honey. I’ve warned you. Don’t stress yourself. I only have limited time with you. I want us to enjoy our little time together. ” He said and she knew he was being honest because he was smiling from his eyes.

“Daddy. Don’t be talking like that. You will be fine. We have all the money we need. I’ve been working,” She said holding her father’s hand so tight. She didn’t want to lose him anytime so soon and he was being all neutral about it.

“It’s true honey. The doctor said I have two weeks left, ” He said and Chanel broke down.

She cried for her mother and now her father. She would be left alone in this world with no one. No one would love her.

When she looked at her father, he was already sleeping again. She slowly and silently tucked him, kissing his forehead before she left, cleaning her cheeks.

*******

Alfonso looked at Jonas like he didn’t know what he was saying. It had been a week and Jonas, his most trusted man, just told him that Chanel visited the hospital every day and always came back with red eyes and a wet face.

Jonas said he managed to get one of the nurses to talk and he found out Chanel’s father was in the hospital battling his last days of cancer. He felt true sympathy for her. Maybe that was why she was taking all his money for. To pay the bills. He would have helped her.

Alfonso made it his mission to visit her in the hospital on Tuesday. It would be a surprise. Even if she didn’t want to see him.

Alfonso’s thoughts shifted to her deep green eyes. She was just so beautiful and he had tried to get her out of his mind, but there was no way. No woman had ever gotten to him this way and Chanel was probably still in her early twenties with him being in his early thirties.

He hoped he had the chance to apologize to her before her father passed.
