Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 28: fear, pain and hope. The pills not only give Althea confidence and courage to start acting against Diaz. Oh no, they give her so much more than that.A clear mind.With a mind unclouded by fear, pain and hope, Althea can finally see how transparent Diaz is. Why it took her so long to be able to read the brunette is beyond her.The older has become an open book for the blonde to read, his emotions and mood changes are still always random but not unexpected, there is always a way to tell.For the past couple days Althea has been observing him like a hawk, realising all the small habits and idiosyncrasies that make up Diaz Cartel. Most of them are useless though, like when the older is truly happy he gets a sweet bunny smile that melts his friends or the habit of tapping his head whenever he is deep in thought trying to solve a problem.They are all useless.Diaz poking his tongue against the inside of his cheek when he is angry or jealous or the way
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 29: brief moment of fake freedom. “Please, please, it was one, just one,” begs Althea with her face still pressed into a sink full of vomit.“Are you sure? Nobody just takes one ‘Angel’s Trap, it doesn’t work. You have to take multiple,” announces Lucius before dragging another wave of gags out of Althea. “I would say the most effective dose is around four and six. Come on, Thea, get the others out.”After four more rounds of pure bile rising up her stomach, Althea just wishes for it to be over. She is sure there is nothing left in her stomach not even bile anymore as she dry heaves after another attack to her throat. Her mouth is full of blood, her head is dizzy and her body hurts from the effort. Even in this situation, the only thing she has in her mind is the lost pill.I swallowed for that pill. What a waste.“Be thankful it was me who found out. I won’t tell Diaz out of pity for your situation but you have to understand. Diaz wants you and it is
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 30: why do we do the things we do? . “Careful there, your love is showing,” warns Lucius. He would never rat on him to Diaz for something as trivial as coming to the gardens but he would find himself in a difficult position if Ronan were to act on that crush everyone knows about.“So is your obsession. If your knuckles get any whiter you’re going to have circulation problems."“Whatever,” says the raven shaking his hands open. “Make me a favour and watch Althea for me, I need to get something from inside.”“Clyde won’t let you in the room, Lucius. We have a meeting later tonight, please don’t make him mad and make my life miserable.”Lucius smiles at him and leaves with a wave.“I’ll try!”. Ronan sits next to Althea on the bench as Harley stands to the side, restlessly looking at the sky.“Just go, Harley. I know you love the gardens,” allows the older. Harley looks at him with stars in his eyes, pulling his hood up once more and running out of the c
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 31: Demons really do have angelic faces.. “Mr. Cartel had no problem with his oldest son killing multiple families and student nor having a sex slave, no. What Mr. Cartel was against was one of his sons loving,” continues Lucius, coming back with a bag full of palettes containing tons of different colours. “Mr. Cartel was very particular when it came to love. He believed it would be the demise of the family and, as paranoid as he was, he raised his sons with no love but discipline which is why when Clyde refused to dominate Janina and declared his love for her, Mr. Cartel disowned him.”“Why did Clyde marry her then? If he knew that was bound to happen.”“Who knows. It all worked out for the better though. We all know Diaz is a better head of the family than Clyde could have ever been,” Lucius confesses bluntly. “Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite funny, how Diaz changed the moment he heard about his brother’s mistake. He has always been st
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 32: A Beautiful Prisoner .For a second she considers talking. The man seems kind, a child forced into a life he doesn’t want. Maybe he is like Althea, maybe his love for dance is as strong.“Ahm, well…I—”“Diaz’s love is enough for him,” Harley intervenes. He takes Althea away by the arm, stopping near the corner of the room. “You do not talk to people, you got it?” The harsh tone scares Althea. “You stand next to Diaz, you smile and look like the doll you are. Pretty and mute.”“Harley? That is what Lucius told me.”Althea seems disappointed in hearing the one person she thought she could trust say exactly what the person she decided not to trust ever again ordered her.“This is for your own good, Thea.”“How is acting like the doll Diaz wants me to be for my own good?!”“Because that is exactly what you are. You do what he wants if you want to be able to stand for the next week! What did you expect Althea? Huh? For one of this pigs to help you? Take
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 33: Nothing new . “Too gentle to be human, Oh, Althea from Heaven,” hums a man behind her. “Hello, Althea.”If the creepy warmth of his breath wasn’t enough to make Althea shiver, the mention of her name is.“How do you know my name?”“I know a lot of stuff, Althea,” whispers the man on her ear. He comes so close to her his words start condensing on her skin. “I know you’re from small side Sangrid. I know you used to dance. And I know you never wanted this life.”“By now, I think that is common knowledge. Everyone seems to know. Is there anything you want to achieve with this? Because if you’re trying to threaten me you should get in line,” says Althea to the man, injecting as much confidence in her voice as she can.This man knowing her name makes the hair on her neck stand like icicles but she needs to take control of the situation. Acting confident seems like the best way to do it. With Diaz, acting like nothing can affect her seems to work wonders,
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 34: Angels do fall . “I’m not as great as Ronan but my aim is pretty good.” Lucius has to call for attention because, even if the pair is facing the door, Althea is too busy trying not to choke on air and Dias has his eyes on the blonde’s ass that keeps bouncing satisfyingly with every movement.Behind her, Althea can feel Dias freeze in fear, his muscles tensing instantly. The man looks at Lucius, his face dark with anger and a gun in hand aiming directly between his eyes.“Are you going to put him in danger? Diaz will never forgive you,” bluffs the man. His voice is stable, having been in too many situations like this, he knows how to control his body but Althea knows.The muscled man presses the knife harder to her neck, the blade leaving a red line on the beautiful white skin.With careful movements, Dias manages to get his, now flaccid, dick out of Althea and pull his pants up, his eyes never leaving Lucius. His grip on the blonde and the knife do
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 35: heart full of thorns.“Take care of the guests for me,” says Diaz to Clyde. The taller man leaves to do as he is told.The brunette looks at Ronan standing behind him and leaves the room. The hitman gets the message without needing any words. He walks behind Diaz, alert to further threats while directing his men to follow.The men take Dias to the basement and tie him down to the floor, both wrists bound in front of his kneeling figure. In front of him sits the Diaz Cartel everyone fears. Not the young head of the Cartel family nor the spoiled brat who’s sheltered by everyone around him but the man who grew his father’s empire and defeated the biggest mafia in the country. The only man who could torture and kill Hernandez’s right hand with no fear for the consequences.“Begin,” says Diaz.Ronan nods, a knife already in his hand.--The doctor enters the room once again, preparing for another terrible sight. Every time he is called to Diaz’s room
