“Can we start?” Liya asked Kay, tipping her chin. He took a step back, with a smirk on his face as he looked Liya over.“Who are you?” He asked, and Liya allowed herself a small smile. She knew that she had so much more confidence within her. She didn’t just know how long it was going to be able to carry her. “Irene,” she said with a smirk. “I have nothing to hide. And nothing to be scared of. So we might as well get started now.”“Perfect,” Kay finally said, and she could see him turn back to the strong man that she had known at the training center. For some reason, she didn’t just want to grab the document and get the hell out of the place. She wanted to put an end to Damian once and for all. She hated the fact that people were so scared of him. Or the fact that he felt like he was the boss of everyone. Liya couldn’t seem to wrap her head around why Aldo didn’t want to take control just like Damian. He might have claimed to be ruthless, but he had more good in him than he thought
Aldo felt his hands curl and uncurl countless times. He couldn’t deny the fact that he was genuinely scared for Liya. The location on her tracker was showing Damian’s club, but he didn’t know what to think when he didn't have his eyes on her. There was a moment where she was at a place for a particular amount of time, and anxiety almost swallowed him whole by the second.He wanted to put in a device to help him hear whatever was going on there, but he didn’t even if he lied to Liya that he did. He was trusting her. More than he wanted to. He could only hope that she wasn’t going to break his trust because he knew that if one more person broke his trust, he was going to turn to the ruthless beast they were all keeping him from being. And he wasn’t going to let anyone try to tame him. He exhaled one more time as he walked out of his car. He had stayed there for five minutes, trying to practice how not to transfer his frustration onto Aria. “Good evening sir,” Melinda said, and he gave
“What is he talking about?” Liya asked as she looked up at Kay. He looked away one more time, and she grabbed his hand, making him look at her. She asked the question again, feeling Damian’s eyes on her. She knew not to act too desperate around him.Aldo already told her everything that she needed to know about him. At the same time, she had moved out of the house. She was now living in a small apartment downtown. She didn’t know if Aldo or Aria were ever going to take the time to come and see her. But she was sure of one thing. She was going to try not to miss them. She knew that Aldo was keeping his eyes on her at all times. So she had to act according to the plan. She was the one person whom he trusted the most at that point. And she couldn’t dare break his trust. Not after everything that he had been through with her. It had only been a few months since they had been together. But still, Liya couldn’t even begin to count what they had been through. It was in Aldo’s house that sh
Liya couldn’t breathe as she took one step further with Kay. There was so much that she wanted to say, but she couldn’t even do that. She wished that she had stayed at home with Aldo. She couldn’t help but regret not staying back to talk to him more. Or hug Aria longer. But then, there wasn’t an assurance that everything was going to go the way she wanted. There was also a chance that she was going to be asked to go back home. It was possible that she was going to be sent home and forget that she had ever done something like that.For some reason, she even nursed the idea to abandon it and forget that the whole thing happened. She wanted to slip into bed and beg Aldo to hold her close. And even if he did something like laugh at her, she was sure that she wasn’t even going to mind. She just didn’t know what she was thinking in the first place when she agreed to get involved. Now, she couldn’t even stop it from happening. But then, her aim didn’t change. She wanted to help Aldo recover,
Aldo watched Liya as she prepared to finally head for the club. He felt a sense of loss as he looked at her, but he couldn’t place it. As she looked up at him, she could tell what he was feeling, and she smiled as she dumped the clothes that she was folding. She walked over to him, holding her feelings together. “You don’t have to bother, Aldo. It’s not like I’m going to go away for a long time,” she said, and Aldo stuffed his hands into his pockets. “As long as you make sure you aren’t serving customers too well, you should do just fine.”Liya frowned immediately. “What do you mean?” She asked. “People who serve properly are always made to stay in the club. Damian provides the apartments. And every other thing with it. Feeding, clothing, he handles it all.”Liya felt a shiver run through her spine. That was one thing that she wasn’t expecting to hear. She thought she was just going to go there, and every other thing was going to come easily. But it turned out that it wasn’t that w
Aldo sat in his office as he massaged his head. He knew that his life had never been like this. There was a time when he had countless people on his side. If only he knew that whatever he did was not going to be enough to keep them by his side when things got difficult, he would have known to keep his distance. But he didn't. He let all of them in on his life, and look where he ended up. It wasn’t even an experience that he wanted to talk about. And that was why whenever Aria brought it up, he was always annoyed. He preferred keeping matters like that at bay. But she always liked to bring it up. He couldn’t keep trying to correct her. Another reason he was thankful for having Liya around. She always seemed to make things better at the house with her quirky jokes and the banging body that she usually hid behind all those clothes. He opened his eyes immediately, at the thought of her body. He didn’t want to have to start jerking off there in the office. He was very much ready to do wh
