Chapter 10

KYOMI POV

Uncle Ben’s footsteps descended down the wooden stairs of the basement, growing impossibly near. My body coiled into itself further, shrinking and shrinking away as I tried to become smaller than the bed I was sleeping in.

My eyes were snapped wide under the blanket, my lungs burning with the need to take on some cool fresh air.

A lone tear slipped from the corner of my eye when the footsteps stopped near the corner of my bed, and that’s when I felt it.

The feel of a thousand spiders crawling all over me with their hairy little legs. Goosebumps sheathed my body like a second skin, fear landing in all of my muscles and rendering me helpless. Immobile!

But really, it wasn’t fear. It was simply what I knew would happen if I so much as screamed or even moved an inch in a different direction; far from him.

I was used to this.

Every single night he would come into the basement at the ungodly hour, and he would take. He would take, and take, and take, and take from m

    Chapter 32VINCENZO POVThe day seemed both an eternity and a millisecond. I stood behind the metal chair, sleeves rolled up to my elbows, and the cold edge of my blade smeared with something warmer than regret. Blood pooled on the concrete floor beneath my feet, filling the abandoned warehouse with a coppery scent that seemed to overshadow the smell of rot and piss. The place was more than perfect; a graveyard where rats crawled to die peacefully. A place where I received answers, or sometimes invited the grim reaper to join the party I wiped a thumb underneath the bridge between my nose and mouth, then rounded the chair before stopping in front of the Armenian runner. His breaths were wet, rattled; his screaming had stopped five minutes ago. Which meant he was either unconscious or giving up the futile fight. Because come hell or high water, I was getting the information I came here for. It wasn’t hard tracing their little secret hide out, and it sure didn’t cost us an arm and

    Chapter 31KYOMI POVThe ceiling had teeth.Or maybe it was just the fragments of my imagination that had enlarged, come alive, and started to form figures and shapes in front of my eyes; but I could have sworn that the corners were spinning again, curling into cold snarls every time I blinked too hard. My mouth tasted like raw cotton, my limbs slumped like syrup. The line between reality and dreams thinned and blurred on the edges, until everything was a jumbled mess in front of me. The chest dresser laughed at me as I rose from my sleeping position and pulled myself into a sitting position, the bed creaked underneath my weight, but I swear it sounded like a mocking chuckle.And that very moment, somebody decided that it was perfect time to blast music, making the sounds to thump in my head on a steady rhythm. I peeled my eyes open to find out I was alone in the bedroom, with nobody else but the entities from my thoughts that had all come to life. And that there was actually no on

    Chapter 30KYOMI POVThe following day was a mishmash of aching body, confusion, and heartache as the density of my epiphany fully sank in. The third day with only my thoughts to feed from my sanity had finally blurred the edges of the world into soft, smudged black lines. The warm walls of Vincenzo Russo’s lavish mansion closed in on me like they were breathing; alive. If the experts somehow found me in that position, they would declare me legally unstable. I lay curled on top of the bed, not under it where monsters and demons lurked. Covers felt too heavy on my body, too much, with a drizzle of phantom comfort I sure as hell didn’t need. I stared at the white dot on the ceiling wondering just how that freak let it be there, desperately trying to jot everything down to another play of my imagination. A cold, manifestation of my visceral nightmares and hallucinations. I figured that hunger may have exhausted my mind so badly that I was starting to see things that were actually not

    Chapter 29 KYOMI POV The door closed behind me with a soft click, and I ceased breathing. I blinked, twice, thrice, my mind folding into itself inside me. Great numbness took hold all over my body, and I sank to the carpeted floor with sticky tears still clinging to my cheeks. My chest felt hollow, a gaping hole expanding wider and deeper in a space where my heart once lay cradled in the cocoon of my ribs. My cheek made contact with the soft carpet, and somehow I hated just how soft it was. A stark contrast to the harshness of my reality. I hated the phantom comfort it seemed to provide, slowly pulling me into the epiphany of my cold situation. A deceitful act of comfort. Everything about this place, every single damn thing including the people who walked around the corridors, were all deceiving lying bastards. Even the damn carpet! My eyes were snapped wide while I stared particularly into nothing. An image of that one perfect bullet hole on my brother’s forehead played on on

    Chapter 28 KYOMI POV My whole body trembled as I stared at the picture, my eyes darting everywhere around it. I didn’t want to believe it, it had to be a nightmare. A cruel, ruthless nightmare and I prayed that somebody was going to shake me awake from the bad dream.But it was him. Even in that state of pure shock, there was no denying it. It was my brother, and the severed hand on the floor was his.My knees collided with the cold floor as all the energy left me, a pained sob rocking my body. I folded like crumbled paper against the floor, my lungs opening up for a loud scream.“KYOMI.’ A loud authoritative voice called out from behind me. A few seconds later I was folded up and bundled in warm tight embrace. I crumbled further, my hands seeking for something to hold onto. Vincenzo’s custom cologne filled my senses and I broke harder. He murmured something in Italian against my hair before barking a series of orders I couldn’t quite comprehend. It was all too loud, too damn conf

  • Beyond The Debt; Bought: Bound: Owned!   Chapter 27

    Chapter 27 KYOMI POVDays went by and Vincenzo and I fell into a little routine. He would wake up in the mornings, do his usual exercises that always had me drooling over his hot body, and then wash up before hiding in his office. Some days he would go out, point a finger at me and command ‘be a good girl,’ then come back in the evening; to eat the food I cooked, and then he would cuddle me and ask me about my day. It was a little cocoon of warmth I found myself wrapped inside, and somehow, in a very twisted, fucked up way, I loved it. Of all the things I came to learn, one of them was that he had been right. I was not cut out to work at the pandemonium. The place brought back dark memories to my brain whenever I thought about it. And I was better off washing off his laundry and cooking him hot meals. He seemed complacent with the little arrangement and honestly, I couldn’t ask for more. I walked into the kitchen on light steps. It was a little in the noon and I figured I could p
