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
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
Chapter 26VINCENZO POVLater that night in bed, we laid side by side in silence, her back against my chest and my feet curled up behind hers. Her plump ass was pushed to the crevice of my thighs, making my hard cock to be nuzzled between the lush cheeks. It was nothing but serenity that reigned in that room. I had thought happiness meant been chosen as the candidate of the syndicate after slaving my ass off from the moment I was brought up in it; but this… This was bliss. This was everything no money could ever afford and everything doomed souls could ever want.At some point, I tried to ask her about the little encounter with Kara, because I knew it was not girls’ talk. Kara was close to hitting my girl and I just couldn’t wait to hear what all that was about. But she shrugged it off and told me she was never going to tell me. I should have known better than to expect her to rat someone. She was just not wired like that. With a heavy sigh, I rested my head at the back of hers and
Chapter 25KYOMI POVI had no idea how I was still alive, especially after that cluster fuck of trying to play hero and saving ten men from having their fingers severed and openly disobeying a certain somebody who was so convinced that anybody who went against what he said deserved a cruel death. But there I was, my body leaning against the closed doors as I tried to calm my pounding heart in my chest, trying to make sense of what had just happened.. Yes, he was so livid. And one thing I came to realize was that his anger didn’t brew from the fact that his men left their positions to have dinner; although that was a piece of a puzzle, somebody was angry at something else. One, he was mad that I cooked in his absence and was so certain that I did not count him when I prepared the meal, and two; he hated the fact that I knelt in front of everybody else. Yahp. Now calm the fuck down dear heart because my captor was a damn possessive prick who wanted me to belong to him and him only.
Chapter 24VINCENZO POV To be entirely fucking honest, I had no idea to what I was going to do with the little vixen. I was afraid that if I touched her, I was going to strangle her with my own hands. When we drove through the gates with Terrell to find out that there was actually nobody around, fear had crippled me so bad with the thought that someone had budged through and killed my men, and that SHE was in danger. I walked into the house guns ready to blow a motherfucker’s brain, only to find my men couped around my dining table with their faces stuffed in whatever it was she was serving them. Shock, anger, and awe gnawed at me since then. And no, I had never been a man who never knew how to react, but I just stood there, stunned out of words at what the little vixen had just pulled up. I pushed the door to our bedroom before slamming it shut behind me, then stormed to the bed and threw her onto it. She bounced on it before looking at me with black terror in her already black b
Chapter 23 KYOMI POV Evening came and we all gathered around a giant black glass dining table, with all the bulky men taking up all the space and sucking all the air in the room like a bloody giant vacuum. I felt like I had stepped into a forbidden space, a space filled with all the things that were hidden from the eyes of humans; deliberately, because of how lethal they all were. And seeing them would just unleash all the beasts on planet Earth. I felt like a speck of nothing against the might of men who crowded the space. It was then that I realized that the idea of making it out of here was as far-fetched as the bloody moon. Conan was right, even if I tried to run away, there was just couldn't make it passed them. They were all so big, broad shoulders tattoos, and exuding danger by just existing. With trembling hands and an unending prayer, I dished up for everyone and then watched as they all held hands for a quick prayer. My mouth must have been somewhere on the floor becau
