"Riccardo... Sophia's voice trailed off when I gave her a signal to be quiet. I took Esmeralda to her room and tucked her into the bed.I stayed with her for a while staring at my precious emerald thinking of all the negatives that could have happened if i had lost her. I brushed the curls that dropped on her forehead and placed a soft kiss on her cheek before standing up but she was quick to grasp on my wrist."Don't go daddy" I heard her mumble out and a smile spread on my lips. I laid beside her for a while and when I was certain she was deep into her sleep I left.I went down to find Antonio standing in front of the floor length window with a glass of drink in his hand. I looked around for Sophia but her presence was no where to be found.I took silent steps towards his direction and stood beside him. "Maja Elzandre, the court's most visited criminal yet no allegation has been proven to be true" he looked away from his previous line of sight to face me.A sigh escaped his mouth an
~Maja~"...I've been trying to reach your attorney but his line isn't going through" Martina cried out devastatedly while I paced angrily in the cell. I'm fucking tired of these cops thinking they can get me arrested whenever they felt like. "Hey officer please get her out of here, nothing has been confirmed yet you can't just arrest her without any solid proof" Martina tried reasoning with the bald headed cop. "I'm sorry Ms Elzandre but we have to keep her here until her attorney gets here and she also has to be there cause she's a major suspect" I hissed out angrily and clench my nails into my hips to stop me from pulling him by his collar and strangling him to death. "But... "Excuse me, I have a case to attend to" he walked past Martina and she directed her glossy eyes towards me. I hate to see her in this situation and i despise it further cause I'm always the reason for her tears. "Martina" I called and held her hands that were resting on the bar. Her tears fell on my fingers
~Maja~I hurriedly freshened up and got changed into a black turtle neck crop top and a pair of leather pants matched with a pair of sneakers.I held my hair in a bun and left with just a dash of gloss on my lips and a sprinkle of my perfume. "D..don" i was stopped by the maid I hired to be Martina's personal one. I raised a brow in reply to her call and she nervously played with her fingers."U..uhm m.. I hissed in irritation and pulled her wrist roughly causing a low squeal of fright to expel from her mouth."I'm pretty sure you got no problem with your tongue so open up and speak cause if you waste the next second of my time I'd be glad to paint my nails with your blood" I clenched my fingers into her delicate flesh which left a red mark on her skin."I..I'm sorry don. M..ms Martina wants to know when you'll be back" I let go of her with a glare still on my face which made her swallow nervously and bow her head away from my view."I don't know about that but ensure she's taken care
~Maja~"Daddy" she squealed as he picked her and threw her body up before catching her into his hold again. Her excited laughter bubbled up from her belly and she nuzzled her sandy body into his."I see you've had enough fun today. Now we have to go home and get you all cleaned up, are you ready?" She nodded but like there was a bulb that lit up in her head a pout formed on her lips and she began playing with the chain on his neck."But you also promised we'd go shopping" he twirled her little index in his hand before kissing her knuckles. "Well that'd have to wait till the weekend and I promise I'll get you whatever you want" she smiled gratefully at him and kissed his cheek. "I love you papá" he reciprocated her words and hugged her.I turned my face away from the beautiful duo to keep my emotions in check before I ended up spilling my eyes out."Ms Maja" i was lost in the cloud of my emotions that I didn't realize she had gotten down from his body and came to stand in front of me.
I got to the enormous living room to find him sitting at a mini bar at the far end close to the ceiling length window. His dark locks glistened from water and his built body was hidden underneath the thin material of his shirt that didn't do any justice in defining his masculinity.His eyes were zeroed on nothing with his thoughts tussled around in his mysterious head while his hand slowly twirled the stem of the cup in his hand.Without giving any sign of my arrival I made my way towards him and pulled the bar stool across his and made myself comfortable on it.His dark eyes traveled from its previous line of sight to the spot where I now occupy and locked with my eyes that tried reading into the mischief and cloudness of his orbits.I stretched my arm to grab the bottle of vodka resting in front of him but he was quick to stop me by holding my wrist."You should learn to ask before you get what you want" his velvety voice dripped with seduction and dominance that it made my bare pus
"Papá p..please don't leave us" my sobs continuously cracked out of my quivering lips as I stared at my dad's bloody body. A weak smile stretched out on his lips and he lifted his shaky hand to touch my face."Maja, my sweetheart" he choked out which triggered the blood to spill from his mouth while the tears kept rolling down my cheeks at the heartbreaking sight of my father."D...dad please don't say a word, we would save you" I pleaded but as stubborn as he was he didn't give an ear to my pleas."I want you to know how much I..i love you tesoro. Everything I..i ever did in this life was for you and Martina cause you two are my most precious treasure. I..I'm sorry I wasn't able to save your mother but I'm glad my other two angels are saved.M..my darling girl please take care of yourself and your sister. I'm aware of the fact that she's older but you my princess are very strong so I'm entrusting your safety and that of Martina's in your hands. You're young sweetheart but I know yo
I trailed behind him silently, my eyes roaming around the luxurious ambience of the secluded hallway that has his office occupied. We reached a big black door that gleamed its luxury egoistically. He pulled a card from his pocket and placed it on the knob to unlock it. Expecting him to act like an asshole that he is he surprised me by being a gentleman and letting me walk in before shutting the door behind me.Heavy scent of oud and his cologne lingered in the large space. The furnitures were professionally arranged and the dark ambience of the room enhancing the professionalism of the architect and interior designer.Without waiting for his say or permission I made myself comfortable on the chair I was supposed to be on enjoying the smoothness and coolness of the leather. I could tell by his burning gaze he didn't like my unethical behavior but I couldn't careless.He came around and took his suit off letting his ripped arm come into view and I tried my best to look anywhere but at
"Maja stop acting like a kid and get dressed we have to leave" she spoke with a tone of annoyance attached to her voice and I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time that week."I made myself clear when I said I wouldn't be joining you for that stupid dinner whatsoever" i gritted out in irritation with a blaring glare staggering her way. Without further comments she strode towards me leaving me confused for a while."Save your attitude for someone else hermanita" she wrapped her hand around my wrist and pulled me out of the bed taking me off guard. "Martina for fuck sake..... "Don't try Maja, just get into your closet and get dressed, we'll be leaving in thirty minutes I'm waiting for you downstairs" not giving me a room for my tantrums she exited my bedroom leaving me beyond incensed.I knew these were the moments she showed herself as the older one and also the moments where I have no control against my wishes or decisions and I hated these moments with every single fibre in me.Not w
