“Hide in here darling and don't make a noise." The little me had blinked up at my mother's red rimmed puffy eyes as she nodded at me in assurance.No! I don't want to hide! But I nod back and tuck my legs in till she closes the door and soon I jerk at the loud bang before the low pleading, sick pounding of flesh against flesh, the loud curses and the painful cries. My head hurts. The hurtful eyes of the little boy covered in blood. Dominik! His emotionless eyes years later, demanding that I run away with him. The snide remarks from Bianca which I had thought were thoughtful words.The coded words and actions between mother and daughter which I had missed all my life.Matteo's insincere smile and disgusted look which meant the world to me, I feel so sick. Memories from the past came flooding in. It is all a dream because when my lids fluttered and I became aware of my environment, the musty smell around me made me hold back a cough. Where was I? My hands felt numb, tied above
I stared down at her shiny eyes in disgust. I could actually see stars in them.Her lips quivered before growing wide into an adoring smile.“Don't fucking touch me." I glared hard at her raised hand. “I knew it! I had always known that you love me more than that bitch!" She exclaimed excitedly. My palms itch to smack her face but I hold back. I want to deal with Johnny and his accomplice in the most cruel manner ever but I had promised myself not to go down that path anymore. I need to turn them over to the police and expose their deeds to the public enough to cause extreme damage and destroy their career.Remembering Valentina's hateful face, I felt the air get knocked out of my lungs. I turned back and walked towards the only couch in the bedroom. “Mr. President." Tiana called, slowly leaning towards me from where she was seated.I raised the gun to her face, stopping her in place. “Don't you dare!" My eyes flashed with murderous glint.“Boss." The voice I had been waiting f
“FUCK! JOHNNY LEAVE!" But Johnny didn't leave. He stood, legs apart, his hands folded across his chest as he glared at me.“Leave man! I want to spend time with my wife!" “She. is. not. your. wife!" Johnny boomed, his face red with anger. I watched with interest as Jack stood slowly to his feet, his eyes regarding me one more time before turning to face Johnny. “What are you on about sickhead." He pushed Johnny. He stayed rooted to the floor, the impact of the push insignificant. “You will not stick your dick into my daughter's hole." I flinched.“Ha! Now she is your daughter, ei?" He chuckled. "You know the deal Jack, this…" He waved his hand to me.“...is all on the surface level. We are only in this for the money and to cover up what Tiana exposed to the public.” Tiana? My ears perked up, my eyes narrowing at them.What did Tiana say? Jack turned abruptly to look at me and I blinked innocently at him, a forced innocent smile on my lips. "Shut your fucking mouth before s
If I don't find a way out of here anytime soon, I am sure I will go crazy. I kept biting my thumb even after I had drawn blood from it, the plates of pancakes beside me had grown cold. The duo had transferred me from my initial prison of a room into hell. What duo? This room was painted white with one bed and nothing else. No books to read, no phone to keep me company, no one to talk to, nothing! Nothing at all for four good DAYS!! Or was it five days? Three days? I think I have lost count. “AAAARRGHHHH!!!" I shouted again, banging my head against the white wall. Was it a crime that I suggested that he get married to me? ‘It'll help you…us.' I had continued after they both gave me skeptical looks. I can't even see their faces clearly. ‘Look…’ I had splayed out my hands before me. ‘I am in charge of Dominik's properties and he is…dead.’ I had felt my heart skip two beats at the mention of his name but push the thought of him being dead to the back of my mind. ‘I a
“Valentina!" I heard Johnny's relieved voice and I flinched before blinking for the second time.His face filled my vision as he helped me to sit up. I looked around and my face fell. I had thought they would bring me to the hospital. Never did I think that they would end up bringing me back to the prison they called my room.“What happened?" Jack asked with a tight face. I frowned a bit at his tone.Should I pretend not to remember what happened? I had almost spoiled my plans when I heard Jack trying his best to defend the ugly marks on my face.What did he say again? That I was attacked this morning when I wandered off into some unknown place.Was I that stupid? “It…it's Tiana!” I saw him sit up, his back straightening at the mention of Tiana.“What happened to Tiana?" Johnny asked, his jaw clenching and his eyes getting hard. “I…” I hiccuped, looking down at my intentionally shaky hands. "You…" Jack drawled, both men closing in on me. I began to feel like there wasn't much a
A familiar voice shrieked behind him, causing me to push the man off from me. I wiped the blood off my mouth with the back of my hands before glaring at him. He glared right back, not being fazed by the crazy banshee behind him. “VALENTINA!" Tiana screamed again and this time I didn't need to look to tell that she was heading towards my direction. I came here for one thing only and it was to get my identity as Johnny's daughter known to the public. If she was going to be an ass all over again, I will gladly show her how bad of an ass I can be.“Move." I ordered the man in front of me, my hand going directly into my sleeve to get the dagger.His eyes followed my movement but he stood still, even when Tiana pushed him from behind. “Listen to me. I want you to leave right now.” He ordered the same way Dominik would order. For some reason, I keep seeing Dominik in this total obsessed stranger. "No. You listen to me.” I stepped right into his face, jabbing the hilt of the dagger int
