I looked at her in shock as she smirked at me, a chill ran down my spine as she seemed pleased with herself. I didn’t give her the satisfaction of making me feel very uncomfortable, she said she knew my secret and there was only one secret I dreaded every one would ever find out. “And what would that me, I am myself I’m curious,” I responded as calmly as possible, trying not to make my voice shake so she wouldn't spot my shivering voice. My greatest fear was that Damien must have let it slip from him or much worse. “Don’t look at me, as if you don’t know what I am talking about '' she said and I scoffed as I got off my bed and walked towards her. “You come here with threats of knowing my secret then I beg you, spill, I am curious to hear what you have to say,” I said and she looked at me. “I know you have been seeing Damien, I know you met him in the hospital today. I have pictures of your encounter,” she blurted out and I sighed in relief, at least it wasn’t what I thought it wou
The day passed by, and it was the day of the party which Lucas had organized. The house was busy as the maids rushed to set up the palace for the party. I didn’t think there were to be many guests, I mean who gives you a few hours' notice to a party? I spent the morning in my room, as my mother went through my wardrobe looking for a perfect dress to wear, I knew she wanted to look good in case she caught the eye of a wealthy man or something. And to add to that, Brian has been invited. The morning passed by and before I knew it it was evening and I was already getting ready for the party that Lucas had organized. Designers and makeup artists were sent over to make me appear so good, I sat as they worked on me. I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn't help but feel so good when they were done. The door opened and my mother stepped in. I was right, today she was dressed to impress, I rolled my eyes as she walked into the room just as the people in it started to leave. “Look how
I would have laughed out loud, if it wasn’t for the seriousness in his tone and voice, because what he just said didn’t make a damn sense to me. It was stupid In fact, these were the twenty-first century, not so olden days. “Brian, you need to chill that is stupid and impossible,” i said as I chuckled “Listen to me child, it is stupid, but sacrifices should be made to achieve something, the Mafia heir, first child must be a male, if it isn’t a male, they will kill the baby, that's why you need to run,” he said and I looked at him with shock. “You…” I tried to say as I felt fear overwhelmed me. “The wives of Lucas, the first one gave birth to a female child and she was casted to the ocean, you see this family worship a Roman god, it is withheld from the public but they do worship a Roman god, no one knows except only the members of these family, once the child is born a girl she is sacrifice by the shaman to their gods,im if female,” Brian breath out as I walked away from him as i t
Morning came, and I realized I didn't have any sleep. If I closed my eyes it was filled with nightmares. After what I had just discovered about the Medici family, I didn’t feel like having these anymore.I wish I could get rid of everything I had now and go back to my old life, back in London where my own worry was paying my bills, and living my life without worries or death threats. The door opened and I didn’t even look to see who it was, as I thought it was Maria who had come again, to pretend like she loved me.“I’m sorry, Mrs Medici, but you have a guest,”a voice said as I looked at her, it was just a maid.She must have seen the way I narrowed my eyes at her, as she told me she had knocked several times but I wasn’t responding to the door, I nobbed at her.“Who is the visitor?” I asked not even curious, Britney coming to tell me how she had worn over me and threatened me even more.“He didn’t dispose of his name but he said you would know him when you see him and he was sent by
I sat down, quietly and soon my father sat opposite me. I had a thousand questions, and I realized, although I may have loved my mother in ways I couldn't explain before, that love was faded, and filled with hate.“Tell me, I want to know,” I pleaded. I was supposed to be mad at him, despite everything around me and demanding an explanation, but I wasn't. I wanted to hear what he had to say, and the answer to my question.“Your birth mother is alive and ….” He paused as he looked at me.“And what?” I asked.“Your Birth mother is Ava king,” he said and my eyes widened, as I stood up angrily, I looked at her as I took a step back.“What!”I screamed at him as I raised my hands to my hair and ran my hands through it.Of course I knew Ava king, everyone does and her daughter, Britney King has done nothing but make things worse for me and horrible as she had swore to make everything so hard.But her mother, I remember meeting her for the first time, in the Blacks family house. I remember he
As I spent the rest of the day in my room, time seemed to slip away unnoticed. As I lay on the bed, I was lost in thought about all that was happening.The woman who I had thought to be my mother wasn't. And I was the daughter of a billionaire heiress. I was shocked by the outcome of everything and I didnt want to accept it but I was glad.Having such a woman as a mother was horrible, and terrifying. I couldn't keep count of all the times she betrayed me, and led me to believe she was doing everything for my own good but I was for hers.I hated her, I hated Susan so much that I thought I loved her in the first place, and she disgusted me so much that I felt like I was gonna punk.And then there was Ava, I didn't know what to think of her at first, as she needed to care for me and look for me. When she met me she knew I was her daughter, and only showed up on my wedding day looking like the happiest woman on the day I felt like it was my funeral.I couldn't judge her yet, father said s
A shiver ran up my spine as I stood there frozen looking at the men who looked angry and mad. I didn’t know what to say as I swallowed a saliva that was in my throat.Before I could say a word, I felt a hand wrap round my waist and I looked to see Lucas as he kissed me next.“Oh Matt, you met my wife already, I was about to bring her to introduce to you,” Lucas chimed in as he smirked, I couldn’t do anything to see that smile wiped from his face.I knew what he was doing. He was mocking Matt, the golden haired man standing in front of me and Matt did nothing to show his displeasure against him.“You devil pawn, how dare you” Matt snapped as he glared at Lucas.“Mind your words Matt, you don’t want this to end up where you will regret,” Lucas warned and that only made Matt angry as he glared at Lucas.“You dare come into my home at my sister's remembrance party and spit on her name,” he growled out, and Lucas only smirked. My eyes widened, and for the first time I took notice of the pa
I stood their shock, this bastard didn’t even care when I died he just stood there laughing as a gun was placed over my head.“You bastard all you ever care of is yourself,” Matt growled at Lucas, who brought out a gun immediately and pointed at Matt. Matt looked at him with anger.“We will be leaving, now let my wife go or I will blow your last child's head off,” he threatened.“Today you have some but a day would come I would win over you,” the old woman growled as she nobbed at me to move.The crowd parted as I walked up to Lucas who looked satisfied with himself.He disgusted me even more, I hated him More than ever, I would have been raped and killed and I had a gun over my head and he didn’t care about it. As soon as I stood beside him, he nodded at one of his men who took me outside and made sure I was inside the car, after a few minutes he came out of the house with his gun and his men.And slid in next to me, while bobbing for the driver to leave, the driver rolled out of th
