Chapter 8 ALLESIA I ran into the hospital like a mad woman, I didn't have to look for long to find Renzo, this was the same hospital we'd been bringing Mum for the past five years so I knew just where to find them. "Where is she?!" I demanded as soon as I sighted my brother. "Still with the doctors." Renzo replied, "I was asked to wait here."I let out a small sigh, "What happened? I thought they told us she won't be having any complications if nothing happens to trigger her?" Renzo's eyes trailed mine, his gaze shifting in the distance, "Something happened, Les.' "What?" "Just one hour after you left, the doorbell rang and mum answered . I was in my room playing games when I heard her scream. By the time I ran down, she was already on the floor clutching her chest in her hand and shaking vigorously."By now, my heart was hammering in my chest, "Did you see them?" Renzo shook his head, "When I checked, I only saw the tail of a speeding black car, I couldn't make out the plate n
Chapter 9 RUSSEL "You got the sample, yeah?" I asked as soon as Aldo entered my office. He gave me an affirmative nod, "I did, boss." I let out a satisfied breath and leaned back on my seat, "What did you do with it?" "Took it to Dr. Romola." "Finally. Took you seven days to get it." I shook my head, "How did she react to being randomly wounded by a stranger?" "She handled it like a champ." Aldo's half smile made me smile too."And the guy she's been talking to?" "Oh, we are still unable to get his face and name since he hardly ever leaves his car. But he picked her up at the park shortly after I bumped into her."I sat forward immediately and my grip on the chair tightened, "Where'd they go? And don't tell me you still couldn't get his face!" Aldo chuckled softly, "They didn't get the chance to go anywhere or do anything. I followed them, they stopped in front of a fancy restaurant, but something happened that made her run out of his car in a hurry." My breath caught in my t
Chapter 10ALLESIA "Renzo! Oh thank God! I couldn't stop praying that you'd come back in one piece!"Renzo took a very deep breath and sank into the seat beside mine, "How's Mum?" I had hoped I wouldn't have to tell him this, but there was no sugarcoating it, "It's as we feared, the doctor said she'll need surgery." "Shit!" "Shh, don't worry. We'll do it." "Yea, right." He rolled his eyes while I eyed him. "Did Russel do anything to you?" "Nothing. We just talked." "About?""You." He sat up and gave me a very apologetic look, "I couldn't make him change his mind. I'm sorry." I waved for him to stop sounding pathetic, "Oh please, you thought he'd stop just because you asked him to? That guy is an egoistic, arrogant bastard. But you don't have to give it much of a thought, I still have the final say, and I won't do it."The look that Renzo gave me told me he was not too sure about that and I frowned, "He really means it, Les. Three million dollars. That could cover Mum's treatm
Chapter 11Time was running out.You can do this, I told myself as I walked out of the hospital door and into the cold night. It was a Friday night, my mum was at the hospital, and here I was, about to become a little slut for the same group that killed my dad. My first problem began with transportation. How was I going to reach Mancini Estate Layout at 11pm in the night without a car? Well, I would trek if I must, but I was not going to be the cause of my family's misfortune when I could easily be the solution. "Ma'am, do you need a ride?"I whipped around to find a man standing behind me, his eyes boring into mine with something like a loyal smile. I eyed him cautiously because his face looked a little too familiar. "You are the guy from earlier, the one that wounded me on the street!" His face fell, "I'm sorry, Miss. Anything to make it up to you."I was still wondering how it was that he happened to be here at the same time as me, "Have you been following me?""Are you going to
⚠️ Trigger Warning; This chapter discusses possible sexual harm and other vices⚠️ Chapter 12ALLESIA "Where are you taking me?" "To your room." He answered simply. "My room? Do I get a room here?" When he did not answer, I quickly added, "Look, I have no plans of spending the night here. I need to go back to the hospital, so we need to get this over and done with." He stopped abruptly, his green eyes turning stormy, "Why do I feel like you are totally oblivious to the fact that you'd enjoy this?" "I'll enjoy this?" I scoffed, "There's no enjoyment that can come from you, Russel. You are a depraved beast and this is a business transaction, so the earlier we finish, the better." Russel's eyes remained on me for the longest moment before he finally shrugged and nodded, then he turned around and opened a door. "Go in." "You still won't sleep with me tonight?" I asked in irritation."Our arrangement isn’t for sleepovers, is it?" My eyes darted nervously as I struggled to find the
Chapter 13RUSSEL“Take off your clothes.” Her jaw dropped open, “Eh?” “I said take off your clothes, Allesia.”“Just like that?” I chuckled softly, “Why? I thought you wanted this over and done with as soon as possible?” “Yes, but undressing in front of you is not–” “People don't have sex with clothes on, you know that, right?” She was blushing so hard and I was having fun teasing her. She stared down at the contract in her hand, I'd dismissed the thought of asking her why she brought it into my study, because from the look on her face, I could almost guess why. “We– we need to talk first.” She said in one breath. I lifted a brow and feigned annoyance, “Oh? Perhaps that can wait until after we are done?” “No. We need to talk about this contract.” A smile found its way to the corner of my lips, “The contract.” I rounded the desk and sat down on my seat, she was still standing, so I motioned for her to sit down but she refused so I shrugged and crossed my legs, “You already si
Chapter 14ALLESIA“Dress up and go back to your room. I'll see you tomorrow when I need you.” I felt so humiliated and used when he said those words. I looked down at my half naked body, his degrading words still making my cheeks burn red with pure embarrassment and pain. His eyes were still on mine, waiting for me to get out, there was no warmth in those eyes, not like I was expecting any. This was just a business transaction, I reminded myself, I was here to satisfy him, whatever means he sees fit. I bent down and hurriedly picked my clothes, I dressed up as fast as my shaky hands could carry me. Since he had thrown the key away, I had to wait for him to provide another key and open the door. He took his sweet time in opening the door while I waited with fidgety hands. When he finally finished, he stepped aside and I ran out of the room as quickly as I could. I spent the next hour in my room, sobbing until I slept off. I was still sleeping when I heard a soft knock on the door.
Chapter 15RUSSEL “That cunt has been waiting for my cock for so long, Allesia. And you are going to feel it tonight.”I pulled her close to me, turned her around so that she was leaning against the table, then I leaned in and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. She was shivering, but I didn't mind, I'd not even shown her half the things I was going to do to her tonight and yet she was already shaking. “Russsl–” she stuttered as my lips found a spot on her neck.“Hmm?” I groaned. “Aren't we supposed to be in the bedroom? There's no bed in your study.” A small laugh found its way to the back of my throat, “You don't get the bed, sweetheart, not after all the stress you put me through just to get you to accept my proposal.” A small gasp escaped her tantalizing lips, “You– you are going to make love–” I hissed and she quickly corrected herself, “You are going to fuck me like this? Pressed against a desk in your study?” I stood back and watched the horror on her face, “No but that
