I looked at my phone, “The work is done," And the text I was waiting for so long came, I looked up to check on my dad, he was busy with his friends and even I was busy to prepare his gift but now it’s done.
Everyone gathered at the centre for the grand cake cutting ceremony and were eagerly waiting for the clock to tick to 12 “The countdown begins,” I stood next to him with all the cameras on us ready to capture.
And then in the crowd my eyes met his blue, something about the way he was looking at me was unsettling. He had a smirk on his face and was enjoying the vulnerability on face.
Three
Two
One.
Boom! And fuck nothing happened. How come what I planned didn't happen, I looked up at the chandelier, it was supposed to fall but it didn't. It didn't fall, anger, irritation, frustration crawled my skin but I had to keep the calm and for one last time I looked in his eyes, it was him. He should have not interfered in my business. Songs were sung, everyone was chanting happy birthday and he happily cut the cake and turned to stuff it in my mouth and I had to act along.
It was like a slap on my face. Nothing was supposed to happen nor this cake cutting neither him standing on his feets in front of me.
Victor Amuso, you should have not messed up with my business. I was waiting for this to end so, that I can excuse myself because it was becoming difficult as hell to calm my senses.
"I'll be back," And I turned on my heels to leave for my room. I wanted to kill that asshole but I knew I can't do that in front of anyone and how come he had an idea what I was up to. Everything was eating me up. I went straight inside my room and to the washroom to wash my face to wash the anger out of me. I got rid of the bra as it was an add on to my irritation.
"Victor fucking Amuso, how dare you?" I cursed him looking at my frustrated reflection in the mirror. And when I came back to the bedroom, I knew I wasn't the only one there, He was there in his black clothes waiting for me.
I stilled because he was the last thing I was expecting in my personal space. I took a deep breathe and only our breaths were audible in the silence. He stayed there as if asking me to explain but I chose to pretend.
"Mr. Amuso may I know what brings you here in my room." I had to act like he did nothing and I wasn't up to something. The only source of light in my room was the moon shining bright outside, I wasn't bothered to switch on the lights so it was dark.
He stepped towards me, with his every step my heart accelerating at the thought of what he was going to do. He must be the devil for the whole world but I'm not scared of him.
He was standing right in front of me challenging me. "I thought you wanted to have a word with me, " He was baiting me. He wanted me to admit.
A complete asshole.
"You must be mistaken in that case. " I replied bluntly but he wasn't ready to leave. "Childish!" And his one word was enough to bring me to the edge. I lost my mind, in a second the knife taped to my thigh was in my hand and I directed it against his neck.
"Don't interfere in my business," I gritted with my eyes full of rage.
Silence.
He didn't move but his eyes were scrutinizing me, from top to bottom and then stopped right on my lips and my throat went dry. Something about him was dangerously attractive.
"What if I still do?" He was pushing me. He wasn't scared as if forgetting that I can kill him in seconds and he will be dead in front of me and will never be able to make out of this room.
He walked towards me entering my personal space and I took a step back and he kept on walking until my back hit the mirror stand and there was no where to go.
"Don't come closer," I warned him, my grip tightening around the knife but his eyes didn't leave mine.
And in a blink he swirled me with my back hitting his back and he holding my hand in his with the knife against my neck and our reflection was visible in the mirror.
The tables were turned in a blink of my eyes.
He looked like a beast ready to kill, our eyes locked in the mirror and then he inched closer and whispered in my ears," It will take seconds for me to kill you here in your room with your own knife and no one will ever know it was a suicide or a murder," and my breath was caught in my throat. His each and every word promising me a slow and painful death but I can't die before killing that monster. I have to live.
Breathe Olivia, you need to be calm.
He continued, "You should know who are are dealing with little thing, this reckless attitude of yours will lead you to your doom," His words more or less felt like an explanation for why he interfered in my plan.
Was I really being reckless?
Our bodies were closed but still not touching each other, I was at the mercy of the devil with a face of an angel. I inhaled to think of something to bait him, something to lure him with. He was enjoying the vulnerability and helplessness on my face.
"What can I offer you," And he stilled and I saw that he had a smirk on his face as if he was waiting for me to speak. Our eyes locked once more before he continued. And without wasting a minute he answered, "Be my girlfriend,"
"Over my dead body," I uttered with pure fury and he inched the knife closer to my neck, "Any last wishes?" He said giving me a murderous look, And I knew I had no options he was here to put a trap and I Olivia Vitalio has already fallen into it.
"For?" I asked gritting my teeth with my fists clenching and unclenching. "As long I want," he said coolly, And I felt that cool metal moving away from me and
I took the breath I didn't even realise I was holding for so long. I have signed myself to the devil and I felt him taking a step back and his silhouette disappearing in the dark.
"You should wear back your bra Miss Vitalio, " And I looked at my breast, my dress was a see through no wonder he had a good show.
"Pervert."
After throwing every single thing around me, I made back to the party only to find out that he was gone. It wasn't like I was looking for him."Where were you Olivia?" I turned to find my dad with a brunette half of his age throwing herself on him. Trust me it makes him look more disgusting."It's strange to find you noticed," The smile on his face vanished and I didn't even wait for him to respond but I know it would have infuriated him. It's almost a week since that birthday party. Initially his thought clouded my head as it was strange that he left and there was no sign of him. I am not saying I want him to show up.I had to go to college so, I took a quick shower, changed into my torn denim jeans with white ripped crop top and of course my knife. I wore a pair of nude heels as I love wearing them.I kept my gun in my backpack and took my phone and car keys. Everything looked normal but there was that strange feeling which wasn't leaving me.I started my car and then my phone dinge
It was a Sunday evening, a perfect day off for me. I was expecting him to show up or do something again but surprisingly he didn't. I was on my way to go outside when my dad's second-in-command stopped me and asked me to go to my dad's office.I entered his office and he was sitting there busy reading some papers."You asked me to come?" He didn't even look up to acknowledge me. "I am going to meet few important clients and you are coming with me," He was ordering me again like a bastard dad he is to me. I don't get it like why all men around me always want me to listen to them and do whatever they want."I have my plan today I cannot make it today. " And he gave me a sharp look. "I didn't ask you that you have plans or not it's an order and you are coming," "What makes you think that way?" I snapped at him."You want to be locked here for days?" He knows what I hate the most and it is being caged. I grinded my teeth, keeping my seething anger to myself."Fine," I turned on my heels a
I was certain about one thing that I am not going down alone, I will take him with me. I took long strides and blocked his way making sure he doesn't unlocks the door. He lifted one of his brows, confusion evident in his eyes," what are you upto Miss Vitalio?" "You think I'm letting you go through this door," I stated. I didn't find anything wrong in what I said but my words sounded amusing to him. He chuckled and took a step back, crossed his arms and continued," then how about you tell me if there's any other exit because I have business to do here unlike you," not only he was laughing at me but also mocking at the fact that I had no reasons to be here. It was a direct insult, no wonder he knows how to push my buttons. I pressed my lips together and tried to reason out with him. "See, it will be a problem for us if they see you and me together. " And trust me the reply he gave I felt like stuffing his mouth with all the used toilet papers. " Problem for us? It will only be a p
I backed off and looked at him with a satisfactory smile on my face, drop of his blood at the corner of my lips. He inched closer to me entering my personal space, my eyes studying his moves. I thought he'll take it as a warning but I was wrong. He brought his thumb to wipe the blood off my lips. The moment his roughness touched the smoothness of my lips my heart skipped a beat. It was a simple move yet it had an electrifying effect on me and the next thing which he did was the last thing I expected. He sucked on his thumb. "You should have told me that you were hungry for my blood. If it makes you feel better you are free to do it anytime," He said nonchalantly as if he didn't know I bit on him to hurt him. He is the only person who manages to make me feel things and piss me off simultaneously. Of course I can't win against him but I'll not leave this golden opportunity too. "You are right I am hungry," And this time without a warning, I pulled him closer by his collar with our
I kept on aiming blows in his directions but he didn't even flinch, he threw me in the passenger's seat like a rag of doll, took his driver's seat and ignited the engine. The car purred into life and there was no running back from where he was taking me. My dad was out for business so, there was no chance he'll care about my whereabouts. "Put on your seatbelts," He said while his focus was on the road. Always ordering me around. "What a fucker," I muttered under my breathe. "Don't think I can't hear you," Was I really that loud. I thought to myself. "I can read lips," I rolled my eyes at his confession. I looked out while he was driving as his face was the last thing I wanted to look at. No doubt he is handsome but looking at him reminds me how he tries to control me everytime. "Can you tell me where are you taking me Mr. Amuso?" I asked him but he ignored answering me. I felt like wringing someone's neck and I wish I could make him that someone. My eyes fell on his calm and com
WARNING:THIS CHAPTER HAS VIOLENCE.Something didn't feel correct, I was having binocular vision, dark around the edges, two circles of vision in the center then darkness flooded in. I woke up with my head on the side of something hard. Where am I?I was having a throbbing ache in my head making it difficult for me to think straight, memories of the ball night flashed and I realized I was drugged and fell unconscious but what happened after? My breaths were shallow, time had passed but how much? I had no clue about it. My reactions were slow, I was aware of my surroundings but I felt like I'm heavily drunk.I wanted to run, and call for help but nothing worked. I felt motionless, my body felt heavy and doesn't matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to move even my finger. What did that fucker add to my drink? A million thoughts crossed my head about the possibility of being brutally assaulted and no one will ever know. After lying there for minutes, I realised I was seated in a car's p
"Mam, please wake up, mam..," my eyes snapped open at the voice of someone continuously calling for me. I was in a cold sweat, paranoia taking over due to the loss of the familiar soothing cologne. I rub my eyes to fully awaken myself and realized I was in my car. Standing in front of me like two giant pillars were my dad's bodyguards. "Mam, are you okay?" How did I end up in my car, I forced my body up to look around and my car was parked a few meters away from the property? The guards helped me out of the car, "Mam, why were you sleeping in your car?" They asked."I was drunk so..," I realized they don't need to know everything, I handed my car keys to one of them saying, "I'll go to my room,""Mam.," I cut them off as I was in no mood of chatting. Why did he not wake me up before leaving? Maybe I should have thanked him but none of this would have happened if he would have not taken me with him in the first place. Wait! Olivia were you thinking of thanking him, from when did you
The warm water cascaded down my skin leaving goosebumps all over my body, I soaped myself getting rid of everything and everyone at once.This sensory restriction was like an extended brain blink. It cuts the outside world and ideas bubble up into awareness. Ideas to kill people by being right under their noses. A faithful dog biting his owner, do you know why because the owner snatched its most precious thing. I stepped out of the cubicle and saw a new Olivia who was ready to bring down the monster, wrapping myself in a towel I stepped into my space, and picked a bandeau neckline with elegant fold-over detailing on the cream crop top and paired it with petite wide-leg cargo trousers in beige. I tied my hair in a neat high ponytail highlighting my sharp features, I went for light makeup with dark lipstick and sneakers. Hiking my tote bag on one of my shoulders, taking my car keys and of course gun, I was ready to leave.It was almost midday when I descended downstairs the room was cl
