~Adriana’s POV~Today was full of surprises but the guest surprise I got was Massimo, giving me his ATM card and asking me to go out shopping with it.I looked up at his intimidatingly huge body frame in shock and wondered if this was his way of trying to bribe me into forgiving all his wrongdoings, the way he always did but I kept my opinion to myself.“Take it!” He pressed on, literally shoving the card in my face and again I raised my head to look at him. I wanted to yell at him to leave my room but I was too weak to. In fact, it was strange to imagine that he would even think I’ll go to this stupid shopping in this frail state of mine. My slitted wrists were still wrapped up in bandages and even my vision was still blurry in a way. I couldn’t argue with this mule.“The doctor says you need a breath of fresh air and some good scenery… he thinks it’ll help you heal faster,” He tried again but despite his flimsy excuses, I stared pointedly at him without making any move to take the
~Adriana’s POV~The ride was a quiet one and due to the fact that some psycho had suddenly decided that he wanted sex, I literally had to limp out of the car into the large Chanel store that I’ve been eyeing for the past ten months because of how sore my body was.My body ached tremendously, especially around my inner thighs and midriff and I cursed loudly at the mad man that had inflicted me with this pain this hot afternoon… not that I really minded.“I’ll wait right here for you ma’am,” the driver said to me as he opened the door for me to pass through and I nodded with a smile on my face.I quickly thanked him for being a gentleman and before he would decide to have a change of heart, I quickly hopped out of the car, walking as fast as my legs could carry me into the large store.The idea of shopping alone and not being watched by some scary looking bodyguard filled me with a kind of sweet feeling that I basked in as I stepped into the large space. It was beautiful, just as I had
~Adriana’s POV~“This is crazy! You didn’t see me steal anything, did you?” I snapped at the counter clerk who only eyed me and then proceeded to punch aggressively on the keyboard of her telephone as if I didn’t just ask a question.Her nonchalant attitude annoyed me but what pissed me off the most was the fact that she was doing all these without a care in the world.“Apprehend her!” She yelled again and this time a few men dressed in security uniforms casually walked up to me. One of them had the audacity to grasp my arm in a firm grip while the other pointed to the door, saying;“Madam, please you’d have to follow us right now.”My anger immediately flared, and in a fit of rage, I aggressively pulled my arm out of the idiot’s grip and then turned to look at the one who seemed like he was the leader right in the eye.“Can I lend your phone? I need to call my lawyer,” I asked and as soon as I said those words, the counter clerk snorted.“She can afford to buy a few clothes worth ov
~Adriana’s POV~“Are you all suddenly deaf?!” Massimo growled angrily. “Why isn’t anyone saying anything? What the fuck is happening here?!”At the sound of his voice, I immediately tried to rush over to him, to explain what was happening but as soon as I made a move to step towards him, one of the irritating security men grabbed at my upper arm violently. I winced.“Let go of her,” Massimo drawled but from the look on his face, it was evident that he was about to send a bullet flying through the man’s skull. I took a step backwards.The counter clerk who was obviously drooling at Massimo right now took a step forward, smiled sweetly at him and then in a small voice said; “Good day sir, please do not mind the ruckus. We only caught an adamant thief and we’re all waiting for her lawyer, but that shouldn’t affect your shopping, should it?”I saw Massimo’s eyes narrow at the stupid lady and without looking away from her, he asked; “It shouldn’t affect my shopping?” He asked and she nodde
~Adriana’s POV~“How come you always get into a lot of trouble?” Massimo asked as soon as we stepped into the house and I smiled smugly at him before replying with a cocky;“Because I’m so hot… I’m naturally attractive to a lot of things that should put me into trouble.”“You aren’t as hot as you think you are,” He replied jokingly but I didn’t care if it was a joke or not and shook my head vehemently before replying;“I’m so hot… at least hot enough that you had to forcefully keep me here when you could’ve just collected the money I stole from you.” I replied cheekily, laughing when I saw his eyes widen at my utterance.He chuckled, whilst shaking his head and without a word, he strutted into the house without sparing a glance backwards. I sighed, shaking my head dejectedly at the thought of the shopping gone bad.A figure in the distance caught my attention and when I squinted to see who it was, my mood fell when I saw that it was no other person but the treacherous Jamie.She was
~Adriana’s POV~That night, I stripped and I danced. I danced for hours non stop until my thighs and legs began to throb painfully. I still do not know how Massimo had been able to throw crazy Jamie out of the house but as soon as he walked back into the house, the first thing he asked for was a dance… and that was exactly what I gave to him, without complaining.‘I kissed a girlI’ by Katy Perry blasted through the speakers and I danced to it just the way I would while I still worked at the club and was proud when I saw the satisfied grin plastered across Massimo’s handsome face. My skin was slick with sweat and it was so bad that it made it quite difficult for me to cling on to the pole but that did not stop me. Instead it only fueled me even more.I glided down the pole and as I got to the floor, I spread my thighs apart to give Massimo a clear view of what he was missing and when he saw me do this, he gulped.The fact that I had this much hold on him made me glad in a way and I s
~Adriana’s POV~“Oh help!” I jumped awake with a start, glancing around only to discover that I was in my room and not in the dark alleyway that I’d seen myself in only a few minutes ago. I held my chest, panting as I frantically glanced around the dark room due to the nightmare I was having only a few minutes ago. In the dream, boss Louis had been running after me with a large gun and no matter where I tried to hide, he always managed to find me. He had accused me of stealing his money and then running away, and for a moment I almost thought he was referring to the card theft until I realized that Massimo was already dealing with me for that already.It was weird.Sighing as I shook off images of the dream out of my head, I changed out of my sweat drenched clothes into a fresh nightie and was about to go to bed when I began to hear scary sounds coming from the other side of the door. I sat up in fright.“Who’s there?!” I called out, tiptoeing out of bed and standing at a dark cor
~Adriana’s POV~I stormed into my room angrily, angry at myself for caring about Massimo even though it was obvious that he doesn’t care about me and angry because the motherfvcker must’ve sensed my obvious care for him but had simply decided to be a narcissist.“Bastard!” I cursed under my breath, slamming my door angrily behind me. The wooden door creaked in protest from the force I had exerted on it and I sighed as I jumped into bed. “Bastard!” I cried again, hoping that he doesn’t hear me but wanting to curse him all the same.Despite the fact that he had literally just treated me like some pest, I still couldn’t help but be worried about him. I was more worried about the fact that he had blood all over his clothes and somehow, I wasn’t settled, thinking that he must’ve either hurt or killed someone. “He might even be the injured one…” a voice whispered in my head and almost immediately, my heartbeat accelerated from only thinking about that possibility.I could still feel the
