AMARA'S POV After going another round with Dee, I became shameless. Nothing disgusted me about him as I kept thinking of how to take revenge on the brothers. They had caused me pain in similar ways. Both of them turned me to their sex slave, and I even had to get pregnant for one of them. I used to value my body but now, I saw it as filth. No matter what, I had to avenge my parents death that was why I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do with me. For the first time after having sex with him, he left the door ajar. I watched him snore lightly then crawled out from the bed quietly so that he wouldn't wake up because he was a light sleeper. A plan formed in my head as I walked out of the room stark naked, without thinking about my clothes and went down the hallway. The guards and maid stared at me like I was insane but I didn't care. If they were in my shoes they would have done worse. "Ma'am you need to put on your clothes, what you a
Amara's POV I felt like a cheap wore in the dress that Dee selected for me. Though Mariam tried her best in making me look good, I still felt disgusted. I tried to act numb, ignoring Dee's sly remarks but it wasn't working. All I wanted was to shove a knife that I had sharpened to my satisfaction into his neck. I imagined how horrified and scared he would look knowing that death was ready to receive him. He had informed me that it was going to be a nice party but I wasn't convinced. As far as it had to do with him in the mafia, all parties were the same. Only the arrangement and dresscode differed.I was still surprised that he was comfortable in taking me out of the house. It was for my own good as I was almost going insane living with him. His presence made the air in the house polluted but I wished I could die from it. The thoughts of running away gnawed in my heart as I stared at the trees and buildings that we passed by. I wondered how it would feel to open the door and jump
Amara's POV I watched Dee walk toward me linking his hand with Arianna's in a smirk. I scoffed at them and looked around so I would be distracted. When he got to where I stood, he unlinked his hand from hers and fanned my neck with his breath. I sucked in air, disgusted by his presence around me. "I'm so happy to be around you," He whispered. "Well I don't think you would expect me to return the feeling," I replied. "This choker makes me uncomfortable, take it off," I complained and tugged at it. "I don't trust you to behave without the choker on you. You almost escaped if not for the shock that jolted you," He snarled and I fumed. "Great, he really saw me." I thought silently. "Want to say something princess?" He protested but I shook my head. Arianna scanned my face which irritated me then tried to touch my face but I dodged as if she had hot coals in her hands. She withdrew her hands when she noticed my reaction and smiled defeatedly. "I haven't seen this tattoo on y
Luciano's POV Sadness filled my heart as I watched the video Dee had sent to me that morning. He looked so vulnerable while he explained everything that he went through and I almost forgot that we were enemies. I tried not to blame our father for his suffering but it wasn't possible as he was the main reason why Dee was always miserable. The fact that he had a disease that restricted him from having a child was painful and I imagined being in his shoes. It would hurt a lot if I wasn't capable of having children, sons that would take over my business. It was the pride of every capo that his son succeeds him after death. When I discovered that Amara was carrying my seed, it gave me great joy to know that I would have a child from my loins. Apart from being miserable, he didn't wield as much power as I did. He was like my shadow so he had to struggle twice than I did to get whatever he wanted. I paused the video and wondered how I would feel if I had to force people to obey me.
Luciano's POV I wondered why it was hard for me to get Amara. Each time I closed in on her, Dee succeeded in keeping her away from me. It was like a game, when I'm about to win the rule of the game would be changed. I asked Raul to keep tracking Dee while I thought of other ways to get her. Then, I remembered that Luca was still in the dungeon. He served Dee while he was with me so there was a possibility of him knowing Dee's whereabouts.The thoughts of Dee hurting Amara made me restless as I walked to the dungeon. If only I could have her in my arms, then things would be better. The guard standing at the entrance bowed while I patted his back in acknowledgement and waited for him to open the door that were made of iron bars. Luca sprawled on the rough ground with his eyes shut. He was drained of any energy he had but I feel pity for him. He deserved whatever he got after betraying me. "Luca," I called coldly as I watched him stir. "Boss, you are here," He replied hopefully and
Luciano's POV I glared at her, giving her my most murderous look. She looked away to avoid returning my glare. Then I masked my anger and put on an expressionless look. It wasn't her fault that Amara was in such mess though they didn't like each other. I was trying to protect her from Massimo and people who wanted her for the wrong reason.I felt unsafe around her because she had hidden a lot of things from me. I admit that I told her that I didn't blame her for keeping such secrets from me, I still doubted her motive for not tell me. Hell! I could be in danger and she wouldn't say anything because she was scared. That was why women weren't allowed to be a part of our business, because most of them were weak. Apart from the likes of Arianna who knew her way around the business, I couldn't think of any other woman who could hold her own. "Are you angry at me?" She asked fearfully and I shrugged. "I'm not angry at you. Since Massimo hasn't come to take you, then I would send you t
Luciano's POV The sniper's beam didn't scare me, what scared me was what would happen if I allowed myself to get shot. So many things would go wrong and Shuri would be taken away. It wasn't time to ponder on things that weren't important. I had to think fast or Massimo would take advantage of my distracted state and strike. There was no way in hell that I would allow the sniper to shoot me so I quickly dodged and he missed. Dodging bullets was one of the things I learnt, I remembered how angry I was when my father asked me to learn it. Now I was grateful he forced me to because the skill saved my life. Since it was almost impossible to see the sniper, I cocked my gun and aimed at Massimo once more. But I was interrupted by Shuri's outcry. "Can you all stop?" She shrieked with a gun in her hands. "Princess, you're here already," He smirked. "I would go with you but you have to take your men out of here and stop the shooting or I'll make my sniper kill you," She challenged boldly
Luciano's POV My eyes fluttered open as I watched Gio fawn over me. Everything that happened flashed in my head but I relaxed, knowing that I couldn't take any rash decision. I was weak though I hated it and had to heal before doing anything. My eyes darted to the stranger in front of me and I pinned him down forcefully with my hands firmly gripping his throat, surprised that I had such energy within me. "Who are you?" I growled while he choked. He frowned, definitely not in pain but surprised. "Dad, stop please. It's Obinna," Gio informed me and I stared at him to be sure he wasn't lying again. But he wore a serious expression so I let him go and sat on the bed. "You almost killed me, you know. Do I look like Amara's kidnapper?" He asked and I had the urge to punch his lips so he could stop talking. Gio sensed how angry I was and intervened, "Obena, Can you shut up? He is not really in a good mood right now," Oh! The stran
