Santiago’s POVAfter his brothers left the Villa, I carried her to the bedroom. In the midst of my tight embrace, I blurted out, "Who was that guy?" She laughed at me and said, "Uh, I love putting Chris Evans pictures in my old room. I even told my brothers that he was my boyfriend." It turned her face red as she tried to explain it to me, and I could see the little girl talking about her crush right before me. "I like Captain America..." I nodded my head and said, “I thought you met someone like me…” She gazed at me, “Well, you are more handsome than him. I like you more….” Those words made me hold my breath. I wasn't ready to hear that yet, but she grabbed my arm, and I leaned forward to look her in the eyes. "I thought I was going to die," she said with a smile. Then she paused and said, "But if I really am going to die, I have to tell you how much I like you before it's too late." I caressed the side of her cheeks and smiled at her warmly, “I like you too.” I kissed her li
Abby’s POV I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes are full of tears right now, and they are running down my hairline. Not tears of sadness but tears of anger because those traitors who betrayed my father had stolen our family business and led us to bankruptcy. “Miss Abby Miller?” The guard said. I looked up with a blank stare, “Yes?” I just finished closing down my dad's company as a sad way to say goodbye. I clenched my fists and looked around the empty building with anger. “Someone’s waiting for you outside, Miss Abby.” The guard said politely. Then I nodded my head and started walking to the hallway. I pushed the elevator button and went down to see who was looking for me outside the company. If these people were my fake friends, I swear to god I'd slap each and every one of them. But to my surprise, three men with guns pointed at me, and I swallowed so hard out of fear that my throat got dry. I raised my trembling hand in the air, and my voice crackled as I tried to spe
Abby’s POV He reached out to touch my face with the back of his hand, but I pushed him away and looked at him with hate in my eyes. "Don't you dare…" But he had so much patience that he grabbed my arm, dragged me to the table, and told me to eat. "I won't eat. I'd rather die than eat here!" "Do you really want to die? That's easy." He asked me this while looking into my eyes, and I lowered my head, unable to stare at him that long. I use the fork and the knife to cut the steak carefully while he watches me eat. He was standing in front of me, arms folded, and said, "Good girl." He put his finger on the table and slowly tapped the table while looking as I ate the meat. I looked up at him, and his eyes were still the same as before, cold. I chewed softly and felt so uncomfortable that a man was watching me eating, "Please, stop staring at me," "Why not? I'm enjoying watching a woman eating meat in front of me. You can call me, Fabian." He licked his lower lip with his sinf
Abby’s POV I kicked his stomach so hard that it hurt him and made him cough. He said tenderly, "Bad girl." I gave him a stern look, and he stood up with a sigh. "I'm not done with you yet," he said and slammed the door. I sighed deeply, wiped my lips with the back of my hand, and cried all day. I don't know how many times I cried today, but this is too much. "I'm not going to eat," I said when the door opened, and someone brought me breakfast. "You need to eat because you're getting married to the mafia boss tomorrow!" The maid sounded strict, and her eyes flashed with frustration as she looked at me. "I won't get married to a devil like him! Please help me get out of this hellhole. I'll pay you any amount and give you my savings account..." I touched her hand as I begged her to help me. She looked at me with her head down and said, "It's no wonder Fabian likes you. You're young, pure, stunningly beautiful, and have an alluring eyes that would make any guy want you...." "Why wo
[The Next Day] “Signed it.” Things are moving so quickly in my life that I don't know what it will be like when I marry a Devil Mafia Boss like him. I was so worried about it, so I asked him for a favor: "Do me a favor and keep my family from going bankrupt." "I did it already..." "What?" I stare at him with confusion, and my mind starts to wonder if I'm too naive not to know what is really going on! "All you have to do is sign the contract and that's it." I signed it with a sad heart and flung the black pen on the table out of anger. I left the living room and went upstairs, where I shut the door to my room, laid down on the bed, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath to calm myself because I was on fire right now. I wanted to scream and hurt myself badly because it felt like my soul and body were sold to hell. When nighttime came, I took a shower to get rid of all the disappointment I felt about myself. When the door opened, my eyes widened because I was so nervous to see
*********Warning Explicit Content! Abby’s POV I was already wearing a dress when I woke up. I wrapped my arms around myself and walked downstairs on my tiptoes so no one could hear me, even though everyone else was half asleep. I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator so I could get a glass of water. I feel better and calmer after I drink the water. Suddenly, Someone turned on the lights, and I saw five guns aimed at me. I let out a soft sigh and opened my eyes wide. I put up my shaking hands, and when they saw it was just me, I could see the frustrated look on their faces. Then Fabian came, and they moved aside for him. My heart starts to beat like I've seen a hero. "It's okay," he said, and his soft voice put me at ease. He also told his guards to leave us alone. “What are you doing at this hour? It's 3 am…” He said as he leaned forward to look at my nervous face. “You look so pale, are you alright?” "No, I saw five guns pointed at me and ready to blow my head off.
Abby’s POV I awoke with a severe headache, and my eyes were puffy from sobbing the day before. I feel as though my body has betrayed my mind by desiring to be touched and kissed by him. My parents did not raise me to be Fabian's prey, as it was not who I was. I take a deep breath because I will try to get out of this hell place even if it takes me every day to fail, but at least I tried. Then, when I'm ready to leave, I grab the only dress left in the closet. It's a white minidress, and I bite my lower lip as I try to wear it because it's so uncomfortable. Then, when I opened my door and looked around, I didn't see anyone. I took a step forward while tiptoeing down the stairs and when I got to the front doorstep. A guard yelled at me, "Hey! Where are you going?!" But I didn't listen to him, and I tried to open the front door, which luckily wasn't locked. Then I took one more step through the gate and heard Fabian's loud voice on the front door. I looked at him with scared eyes an
Abby’s POV "I will never come back to you again!" I yelled at him while crying and then walked away from him. My eyes are already swollen from sobbing as a result of the agony and misery that has been inflicted upon me. "Stop running away from me, Abby!" He spoke gently, yet his voice was so compelling that it could make me stop walking, and I looked at him with a fierce and penetrating gaze. "Do you know why I always try to avoid you? It's because I don't even know you." I answered him in a calm voice, and when I didn't hear anything back, I just turned around and got in a taxi to go somewhere far away from him. I took a deep breath and reached for my purse to find my credit card to pay for the taxi. When I got to the place where I used to live when I was young, I realized that this is where I tried to save all my money for a small apartment when I was in college, and now I'm here. I'm back in this place again. I opened the door to the old apartment with the keys in my purse and
