The car drove out to the driveway and the devil quickly said in a gruff voice, "Halt," And the car came to an abrupt stop. I tilted my head at him, confused on why he asked his driver to stop. He opened the car and came down, and from the window, I saw him lit up weed. I sighed, frustratedly. I haven't eaten for two days and this is how he's gonna make me suffer?. He led me out of his mansion in this..slutty dress that I'm not comfortable with just to stop on a stupid driveway to smoke weed. I was more than frustrated. I opened my mouth to speak but suddenly my door opened from my side and I was dragged out by Zavi. He opened the front door and pushed me in and then shut the door at my face, his eyes never meeting mine as he puffed more smoke from his lips. 5 secs later, he opened the driver's seat and commanded, "Get out." His driver quickly stepped out and he climbed in and shut the door. He ignited the car and sped off. "Is that necessary?." I mocked his all too bossy a
I sipped my wine. "Uhm.." I hesitated but watched him calmly. He was waiting for my answer, and there was no way I was gonna deny it. He knew, he caught me. But what he didn't know was that I lived in Sicily before we relocated. Sip. "Why do you ask, your highness?." My voice came out hoarsely. I spoke without thinking, maybe I'm starting to get drunk, drunk in the morning?. "Because I want to know." "Yes, I am. I lived in Sicily back in the days." I answered, not allowing myself to think of my days in Sicily. His eyes rose at my answer, and he sat upright, clasping both hands together and resting his elbow on his thighs. "Why did you move out of Sicily?." He asked me, eyeing me suspiciously. No,no, no. Why's he asking me that?. I do not want to remember that. Tears stung my eyes and I tried not to spoil this moment of peace and fresh air since I went out of his abode. For the five years that we left Sicily, I hadn't tried to remember the things I left behind. My frien
There was nothing to wear. It was so sudden, need I say confusing. I thought this was his house, why do we need to go home?. There was more to this guy that I don't know of, he's a book that I need to read. The door burst open and Davina walked in with her suitcase. She looked alluring as always, her black suit matched her black heels. She looked like an angel in black. "Omg..what are you wearing?." She asked me, trailing her eyes over me. She realizes that I had been sitting clueless ever since the boss asked me to pack, "Don't tell me you haven't packed yet?." I shrugged, "There's nothing to pack," "Ooh. I forgot.." She carried her suitcase and placed it on the bed. She started to unzip the bag. "So, this isn't his house," I stated the obvious. She smiled, "It's his house, darling. Zavi has many houses all over the world, you just happened to meet him here." I shook my head, "Interesting, he's a very big business tycoon." She laughed. "You can say that. He's very wea
Landing safely, a white Ferrari was waiting for us outside the plane. A blonde guy was waiting outside the car and waited until we were in front of him. "Welcome back, boss." He greeted him with a little bow. "Thanks, Will." He mumbled and entered inside the opened car, the guy looked at me, he had sapphire blue eyes and he looked..pretty hot on his black shirt which he'd left two top buttons open. He gave me a nod as I passed him and climbed into the car, Davina did the same and finally, we were out of the airport. My eyes scanned the entire area as he drove past the tall buildings in the area.Sicily looked lively and pretty as usual. It had been 3 years that I had been here. It took us an hour, and thirty minutes before we passed through high mountains and a lonely road before a castle came into view. I hadn't been in this part of the city since I was born. Not to talk of a castle coming into view. As we drove through the gate, I watched the high walls and told myself that no o
Tick, tick, tick, tock.The sound of the clock on the wall woke me up from sleep. I didn't know how long I slept but I knew it'd be the long that I had been sleeping because, from the curtain, I could see the sun was already settling down for the evening. I was tired and famished, tired because I had been jet lagged, hungry because I hadn't eaten since morning. I remembered that Alec had proposed a ball party tonight and I needed not to go hungry. Dressing up in a jean short and lace top, I make my way out of the room. My eyes scanned the empty hallway and I began walking through it, in search of someone that would lead me to the kitchen. I tried walking down the stairs as I knew what I was looking for was probably down the floor but a voice stopped me. I looked back and it was coming from a door in front of me. "Let her sleep, it'd be a long night tonight," Zavi said to whoever was in the room with him."You know it's dangerous, Zavi. The world you're creating for her is dangerou
I sat at a bean bag all by myself as the memories of my mom flooded my mind. Tears stung my eyes whenever I remembered her, it was something I never want to remember. Flashback:I held Julie's hand as we walked into our apartment, my eyes met dad kneeling beside my mom, my eyes squint when they met the bloodstain on her dress, dad was crying, and he occasionally removes his hand from the spot where she had been shot, and whenever he does that, more blood gushes out. My hand left Julie's and I ran. I scrambled to her side, my eyes wide with fear. "Dad, what happened?. Why's mom shot?. What's going on?." I rained questions at my dad. Mom grabbed my shirt and said, "Vanora, you..you must take care of yourself. You must be alive, promise me that.""M..om. Don't say anymore, there's no time to waste, dad we must move her to the hospital now." I screamed and tried to get up from the tiled floor. My mom drew me down to herself, she wants to speak but blood gushes out of her mouth. She in
I had looked for Davina after the two brothers deserted me, I am fucking bored, I could be playing games on my phone to keep myself busy but my phone was taken away from me by Wallace. I didn't know what to do so I just lay on the bed thinking of what I shouldn't be thinking. I was thinking of him and also me. I must have been caught up in between him as whenever I came close to him, I felt hot and chilled at the same time. My heart seemed to beat and all I could think of was what it takes to be closer than I ever was to him. Today, I came to know more about him, I came to know he was sad, and all I knew was that the girl which he loved before was really lucky. She was still remembered by the two brothers even after she died and I seem to be caught up in their world too because I looked like her. I must say that whatever I did or whichever way, they will continue to see me as her. I looked up at the wall clock and got up to get ready for the night. I heard a knock and I guessed it
I gasped when I saw the house, it was massive with balconies and white wood. It stood, at least six stories high, with armed bodyguards surrounding the perimeter. People around us were dressed in formal attire, long ball gowns, and tuxedos. When the car door opened, and I climbed down, all eyes went on me and him. Glances from every corner were on us, I only saw Alec smiling in front of me, and his date, Davina. Zavi turned to Will and said, "Give me your gun." William nodded and took off his pistol which he had kept on his jacket and handed it to the Don. Being armed is what he does at all times, you don't know what happens next. "Zavi Romano." An unfamiliar voice calls him from the two upper stairs. Both Alec and Davina turned around and gave way to the owner of the voice. A guy with beach blonde hair and emerald green eyes was standing and smiling at us. I could feel the tension from everyone around me. Zavi remained standing silently as he approached us."Long time no see, old
