Sasha's POVI can't let Rose die like that. She warned me that he would kill her if he found out. I paced back and forth, thinking about what move to make to forestall this conversation. My mouth ran so fast, like running water out of a leaking tap.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you moving around in such a manner?” Valentino questioned me.“I’m feeling pressed; I need to make use of the restroom,” I said in a bid to waste away time and have him forget about this topic.I hope he doesn’t bring it back up. The Valentino I was getting to know wouldn’t forget things so easily. He seemed to have a photographic memory, always paying attention to the details, even those one might have felt did not matter.I watched him raise his hand, tap some buttons on his watch, and give a command, and someone was speaking back at him. He asked that someone come to where we were, and before I could say, Jack Robinson, a maid was here.She had come out of a building that seemed to be a kind of servant's

Sasha’s POVI strolled in as I paid attention to my carriage and moved with great grace. As I approached, I heard Valentino call me, “Where have you been? You need to prepare for tonight!”“What’s going on tonight?” I was shocked that we might have another activity occurring again. Doesn’t this guy get tired? A little rest is good for the soul, but he seemed to have a calendar packed out with events. From business to partying to events, and down to outright playing and untold activities. I know you understand what I mean; he had time to drink and smoke.“Valentino, we just came back from a shooting spree, and at that club, you need to rest. And I’m not gonna lie to you; my body sure would need some rest. I’m fagged out, understood?” He looked at me and said nothing but walked out of my sight as he paid me no further attention. I couldn’t let him walk out on me like this. Besides, what did I do? I only asked to sit this out. I never liked myself when I made him feel this way, and I

Sasha’s POVI stepped into the room, my eyes welling up in tears as I saw what was before me. Valentino had sent me another set of gifts. As I got closer to the bed, I saw a card placed on the gift box. I took the card with my left hand and flipped it open to read the words that were written inside the card and they blew me away.Thank you for coming into my life. Before you came into my life, I never felt this. I never told you this but you mean the world to me. I know I’ve not spoken the best of words to you but I want you to know that I love you. I took all the time in the world to put this together, so this letter can put a smile on your face and comfort you whenever I am away from you or, at times, when I am not there for you. I love your smile; I love the look in your eyes, how they sparkle, and the way you are concerned about me. I just want to let you know how beautiful your heart is. Never stop being you and never stop looking out for me. One last thing, don’t let my words

Sasha’s POV~ “Wrong place, wrong timing,” I hissed as I walked out trying to avoid any confrontation. Today was not going to be another day to get into a brawl on National television. I could tell Belinda loved to be in the public eye, even for all the wrong reasons as she was loud and careless in her carriage. I wondered how Valentino had been entangled with such a thing. Well, her life, her headache. I would not get into any argument with her even if she tried to provoke me. I was determined to enjoy the night and see what reveal awaited me. Walking away and dancing to the sounds of music, I asked the guards to follow me. Well, I thought she would respect the security presence with me but what do they say about pigs again? They wouldn't mind staining your white attire. As much as I wasn't in white attire, I didn't want to dye this beautiful outfit. I kept my distance and did my best to avoid her, as I slid into a group of dancers and began dancing with them a

Valentino's POVI heard the sounds as she pulled the trigger, one, two, three, and four bullets were shot each following the other.“She finally did, she's matured into a fine woman, the time that I like,” I said to myself as I relished in the pleasure of having Sasha send her father's murderer to the other side of life. Sasha's dad had been one of my most trusted soldiers, he had served me incredulously until one day.He had met a lady who wasn't Sasha's mum and her lifestyle drove him on a downward spiral. It was when he began revolving his life around this strange woman he had gotten into the habit of gambling and getting hooked on drugs. I never knew at first, I thought it was just one of those other nights that my men would ride the nights into the clouds of glory, taking turns raising their consciousness in their kinds of fun.I had placed him in charge of a mission to help me get confidential information from my competition and he was making headway at first.With the Intel h
