Oops, Anastasia is in huge problem! So naive! What do you guys think of Rue, is she being truthful to our Ana?
[ANASTASIA’S POINT OF VIEW]I opened my eyes with a moan, but the scene before me was blurry and my head ached like it was going to burst. Another grunt escaped my lips as I attempted to rub the head with my hand but paused when I discovered I couldn't move a muscle on my hands. What was going on? I was about to find out with my hazy when I heard a slash, and the coldest water was thrown on me. My entire body shivered so violently.I gasped, feeling submerged for a moment, and then my vision cleared and I was bestowed with Giovanni's smirking visage. My eyes widened, my escape instincts kicked in, and I wanted to move away but realized I couldn't because both of my wrists were bound, and beside me was Rue, who was also tied but unconscious When I glanced back at Giovanni, his eyes were dancing with a heinous glint that told me I wasn't going to get out of this easily.“Welcome back to the land of the living sleeping beauty. Did you have a good time last night?" He walked towards a
[Anastasia's point of view]I had no idea I had fallen asleep. I sluggishly opened my eyes, instantly blinded by the bright light streaming in through the window.What time was it? I looked around the room with hazy eyes and foggy thoughts. I tried to move but was stopped by a groan of protest as I strained the cuff around my wrist.Cuffs?My vision immediately cleared, and I discovered that I was still cuffed to the bed. My eyes widened as everything came flooding back to me with a vengeance. Being still in my wet clothes made me shiver with cold.“Enzo.” I whispered the name out loud as my eyes began to well up with tears. How long had I been handcuffed to the bed, and how much longer would I be?“Good. you're awake.”The female voice sent my head spinning so quickly that I didn't realize Mrs. Mezzesalma was sitting on the couch in the middle of the room until later. She was reading a magazine and spoke without looking at me. I glowered. What was she doing here?“Mrs. Mezzesalma.”
[Anastasia's point of view]It was one in the morning and I couldn't sleep. Even though the windows were closed, I could feel a cold breeze slipping in, followed by the chill of the AC. I looked at the empty side of the bed; Enzo had said he would return, but it had been hours and there had been no sign of him.I drew my knees up to my chest and hugged them. I had no idea I was so attached to Enzo until now. Maybe Rue was right; I was hooked on Enzo. Perhaps it was because he was the first man I'd been with, or perhaps it was something else. And speaking of Rue, I was curious about her condition. She must be suffering greatly while I was only restrained by handcuffs to the bed. For some reason, I felt it was my fault that we were caught. I sighed and hugged my knees even more tightly. I'd find her in the morning and apologize.I lost patience after another 30 dragged-out minutes. I dragged myself out of bed and squeaked out of the room. The moment I walked into the deserted hallway
[Anastasia's point of view]Sienna. The name was reverberating in my head over and over again like an unsteady record.Enzo has a fiancee and he has never for once mentioned it or had anyone ever mention it. As the name coil in my head, I felt like a clown. “You can not tell anyone I told you about, no one is supposed to know.” Rue's warning voice also halo in my head and I didn't realize I was crying until a sob split out of me.“Is there something you want to tell me, doll?”I nearly recoiled at Enzo’s voice. I slowly lifted my head, finding Enzo sitting on the sofa, looking through papers scattered all over the table. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt that was dragged up to his elbows and in a pair of matching grey pants. And laid on the bridge of his nose was a pair of reading glasses.He looked hot, and I didn't know why I was concentrating on that when my heart felt like it was going to tear out of my heart. It was hurting so much.Instead of answering, I laid my head back and
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW) I knew this was a bad idea the moment I followed Enzo into the dining area for dinner. From what I was told, none of the family members were around and when Enzo and I arrived, there was no one there. As much as it felt uncomfortable having dinner at the family dining table, Enzo didn't seem to care and it didn't look like he was ready to return to his room and I was struck with him. It was all good and I didn't have trouble swallowing down my food till Mrs Miranda sauntered into the space. She paused for a second as her gaze landed on me. I nearly stood up to acknowledge her but Enzo's hand landed on my thigh. "I didn't realize we allowed whores on the dining table now." Her eyes glared as she took a seat on the opposite side of the table, keeping a firm gaze on me. My breath hitched at her words. "What's going on?" It was Sandrino Mezzesalma's voice. My eyes widened as the Boss went over to his seat at the edge of the table and following behind
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)They say eavesdropping on a private conversation was wrong but I didn't think it was wrong when your name was the subject.Arriving at the door of my shared room with Khione and Rue, I abruptly halted with my hand reaching for the doorknob as Khione's audible and indignant voice came from the other side. "I was only gone for a few days and you decided to pull shit with Anastasia. What the fuck were you scheming this time huh?!"The sound of my name made me listen closely to the point I was almost pressing my ear to the door."Why do you always think I'm always cooking something up?" Rue sounded serene."Because you are!" Khione exclaimed. "I know you so well and I know when you are planning shit!"Rue tsked. "Look, I only invited her out because you were not around and I needed the company. Paul was interested and I see why he couldn't have her.""You of all people know what happens when rules are broken and you know better than anyone how much Enzo hates
(Anastasia's Point of View) Recalling Enzo's words, I decided to wait but the longer I waited, the more I felt drowsy, and soon, tiredness washed over me and I dozed off. I didn't know how long I slept till I heard the sound of the door shutting and my eyes opened, my blurry gaze was able to make out the form of Enzo walking into the room before it slowly cleared. "Enzo." I slowly sat upright, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. "You're back." I continued. Perhaps it was because I was sleepy or because I was craving his attention or just a whiny bitch as I got off the bed and wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head on his chest. "You were gone for so long." I pouted, tightening my arms and basking in his warmth and cologne. "I'm starving, doll." I think this was the first time Enzo was talking about being starving. And it didn't take long before we arrived at the kitchen. It was past midnight, so everyone in the mansion was asleep. I opened the fridge, looking through
[Enzo’s Point of View] It was 1 a.m. and it was that time of year again. That time of the year that has always been a constant reminder of the past I didn't know if I wanted to forget or not. Staring up at the ceiling without blinking felt like watching a replay of my life as memory after memory flashed before my eyes, making my chest clench and ache, and instead of melting, I could feel my heart freezing over as I remembered the pain in her eyes as she tried to hide the fact that she was hurting. Despite the bruises on her body, she always had a smile on her face. I nearly thought she was okay because of how well she could conceal her pain. Finally looking away from the colorless ceiling, I rolled out of bed at 2 p.m. letting my feet touch the ground as I walked over to the couch, picking up the sweatshirt and slipping it over my head. “Enzo?” I paused for a moment at hearing the endearing voice before turning to see Anatasia sitting up in bed and innocently blinking at me wh
