Chapter 5❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈They sent me home after the statement, not gently or kindly; just dismissed.By the time I reached my apartment building, my eyes were swollen and my throat burned from holding back tears. The only thing louder than the echo of my footsteps in the hallway was one terrifying thought: has Mama seen the news het?News travels fast in New Rome, exceptionally faster when it carries a scandal. My fingers trembled as I opened the door to my apartment, the moment I set my eyes on the interior my breathe stopped.My apartment was in ruins; drawers ripped out, cushions slashed open, plates shattered across the floor, my bookshelf overturned like someone had shoved it down in rage. It looked less like a break-in and more like a message.A warning.I stepped inside slowly, my shoes crunching against broken glass, that moment I knew they were going to come after me, and in fact they had already started.I exhaled sharply as

Chapter 4❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈A loud bang on my door snapped my eyes open, I rarely get any visitors. I sat up slowly and checked the time, and it was past two p.m. My head throbbed, just how much did I drink?Another bang on the door, “hold on" I said, my voice still thick with sleep.“Open the door or we do that ourselves," A male voice said from outside, calm and threatning and my heart dropped. I walked slowly to the door, before I reached the handle my door flung open violently.Two men stormed in, rough hands grabbed me forcing me onto my knees, “What..?!” I struggled but they were stronger.Another figure stepped inside, he didn't rush nor did he speak immediately; he just stood there.He was a wall of muscles, a human fortress with a chiseled jaw and piercing gaze. His broad shoulders and chest fill out his black outfits perfectly.He was tall, around six foot three inches with a commanding presence. His cold and calculating eyes sc

A bodyguard dressed in black waited outside, leading us down the silent corridor. He was a foot shorter than me, stiff and alert.We stopped in front of a large wooden door, before he could announce us in, I grabbed him. One Sharon twist, a clean crack and his body dropped with ceremony.Silence followed, except for the sounds of guns, clicking into positions from eer corner of the hall way. I didn't flinch.Typical Fabrizio. I smirked“Hmm-mmm, If I were you I wouldn't do that," Andrei said calmly to the guards as we stepped over the body and walked inside.A scent hit my nose immediately and I caught it; camphor. It was thick, intoxicating and deliberate, but I continued walking as more guards and guns aimed at me.At the center of the room was Fabrizio, facing his glass wall, overlooking the city in his electric wheelchair."Quanto tempo,

Chapter 2❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈I walked as fast as my legs could carry me, no taxi, no spare cash and no extra time.Unfortunately, she was already there upon my arrival and just before she could call me, I popped up. My chest was burning and little streaks of sweat clung to my skin.“Hey," I said, trying to sound casual.“Why are you sweating?" she asked, walking towards me, eyeing me carefully.She reached toward my face, her fingers almost brushing the thin line of perspiration near my temple, I slapped her hand away instinctively.“I was in the neighborhood," I replied quickly and her brows knotted for a second, then smoothened.“Okay. Get in," she said.And I knew she didn't believe me, but she wasn't a type to push.I immediately slid into the passenger sit forcing my breathe to balance as she drove towards Mia's place. It was Mia turn to cover our outfits tonight, next time will be me and I'm hoping there won't be a next time.✧ ⋄ ⋆ ⋅

Chapter 1❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈The moment I set foot into the school's campus, I was instantly reminded why I chose this life.Attention, admiration, envy and respect, followed me like a perfume; all soft, expensive and impossible to ignore.As I walked through the hallway of New Rome University campus, with my friends; Florentine and Mia, all eyes stared just a little longer than necessary, as our heels echoed against the marble floors.The students stopped talking mid sentences, eyes widened like they were in a cartoon, and the whole hallways seemed to shake like they were all trying to contain their excitement but failing epically.Whispers bloomed behind manicured hands, it wasn’t loud and it didn't need to be ‘cause power at New Rome was quiet.The sound of music echoed from the courtyard through the school as students vibed hard to it. Of course they will.. it's the first day of school anyways, the smiles on each of their faces were eno
