LEILAAround 2 p.m. at noon, I left my room to take a stroll around the place. Ever since I returned from the swimming pool, I had been inside my room. I wore jeans and a hoodie. The cold from earlier still affected me so I needed to protect myself. The resort was naturally cold because it was close to the beach. As usual, the bodyguards followed me around like some prisoner. I cared less about their presence because I wasn't planning on escaping. At least, not yet. "Ma'am, will you like a drink?" A maiden asked me and I nodded. "A warm cup of milk would be nice right now" I explained to her. I went outside the huge building and finally arrived at the garden area. There were many flowers in the place, varieties of them and they looked beautiful especially as they differed in colors. I could identify some of the flowers because I've seen them frequently. Most times when I strip dance at the club, flowers are thrown at me as compliments for my entertaining dance performance. I leaned
LEILAEverything felt weird, especially how intensely he stared at me. What was going on with him? Why did he suddenly become like this? I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. A while ago, Dominick hugged and was all over me. It almost felt like he was dying or he found out that he had an incurable disease that was going to kill him soon. Besides that, I didn't think that any other thing would be his problem. I couldn't help but wonder about it all.I raised my gaze to meet him, he looked at me as if he wanted to hug me again. He seemed to have missed me— which was definitely awkward because he had tried to kill me earlier today. Is this a strategy of his to get me in his bed? If it is, then he's despicable."What's wrong with you, Dominick?" I asked calmly. Standing up from the bed as I was scared that he might attack me at any moment. I wasn't overlooking the gun he held. Dominick was unpredictable and might do anything. "Leila… I have to tell you something" Dominick said. His voic
LEILAI forced my eyes open and I realized how bright the day was already. It was morning, maybe very late in the morning because of the sun. I've slept too much because of how tired I was. The first thing that came to my mind was to check on Dominick to see how he was feeling today. I hoped that this wouldn't be a bad idea as his mood might differ from yesterday's. I couldn't forget that I was dealing with an unpredictable, murderous Mafia man. Dominick's attitude sometimes freaks me out, especially how he kills and seems to remain calm by it. I took my bath and put on a white fitted short gown and went out of my room. I had checked the clock a while ago— and it was about nine a.m. Dominick might have gotten out of bed by now, or not. Since he wasn't feeling well, I assumed that he might still be in bed so I went directly to his room. When I got there, no bodyguards were outside his room and I went in. My only mistake was that I didn't knock on the door before entering— as I witnesse
LEILAIt was almost evening when I heard a knock on my door and I answered. Two maidens entered and greeted me politely. I have been in my room all day, sleeping. Dominick didn't come seeking for me— despite knowing that I was very angry at him. He must have been spending his day nicely with Anna in his arms. Why am I thinking of such?Now, he sent these maids to me. What does he want now?"Mr. Castillo asked us to prepare you for tonight" They said in chorus. Oh, he couldn't have Anna do the job for him and now he wants me? I scoffed and allowed them to start their jobs of dressing me up. At least, I was serving my purpose. And after ten successful missions, I'll be free from Dominick's captivity.After the maids helped me to bathe and do my makeup, they brought out my dress. I almost exclaimed in shock after seeing the dress. "W.. who picked out this dress?" I asked them."Mr. Castillo did," they revealed.I was stunned. Dominick really changed. He never allows me to wear long and
LEILA"What do you want from me, Dominick?" I asked him as soon as I felt his presence near me. "Why did you suddenly change? Is this a new trick of yours? I'm not that vulnerable to give in" I explained. I turned to look at him, I could see his face clearly because of how bright the fluorescent lights were on the ship. Dominick was beginning to look dumb to me. He was suddenly calm and considerate towards me.I riveted my gaze back to the sight that I was focusing on. The beautiful sea and the moonlight that shunned on it. It was a memory to uphold. I just wished to be free for once. Dominick took his seat beside me, I was filled with the scent of his cologne again. It was intoxicating, but not as much as the alcohol I was drinking. I raised up the bottle of wine and I drank from it again. I had taken it earlier before running out– Dominick never noticed. I had almost drunk everything inside the bottle and I was very drunk. As soon as he saw me taking the sip, he was stunned and grab
LEILAI woke up with a throbbing headache that refused me from getting out of bed. It was morning and the sun was already out. I looked around the bright room,I had woken up late because of how drunk I got last night. I finally stood up after resting for a few minutes and I walked barefooted towards the bathroom to pee. I was trying to get my head straight because I felt like I heard voices In the resort. Like, there were people here. Are we being attacked again? I asked myself rhetorically as I went outside. The noises continued, I went towards my window to check. Indeed, there were many people in the resort and it seems like they weren't ordinary people but high-class business men and elites. Most of them didn't look Spanish or Turkish. I watched all the activities from my window and I confirmed that Dominick might be having some event going on today. I decided to bathe, dress up and go downstairs. It took me only a few minutes to do that. As I reached outside my door, the bodyguar
Chapter is Written in ‘THIRD POV’Leila went ahead to sit on the gigantic bed— facing Dominick who moved away from the wall. "What are you doing here?" He asked her, immediately he reached her on the bed, he grabbed her arms and pulled her up."You shouldn't be here, I asked that you should be locked up in your room. It's not safe for you to be out here. There's so many people in the resort and you might get hurt" Dominick explained to her but Leila was less concerned about any of that. She was more bothered about why he wouldn't let her carry out the impending mission. Leila stared at him awkwardly, she's never seen him act this way. Ignoring her hurting arm as Dominick's fingers dug into her soft skin, Leila smiled dryly. "It's not as if I'm some prisoner here, am I?" She questioned him, looking directly into his eyes without an atom of fear written on her face."Go back to your room and don't come out. It's dangerous— to lurk around" Dominick explained and he finally let go of her
Around noon, Leila wanted to leave her room but the guards wouldn't let her so she stayed in. Leila isn't going to give up, she devised a plan on how to sneak outside. Although she thought that it was weird— if the guards are smart enough, it wouldn't work on them. The guards who were outside her room, paid attention to add details in and around the room. They were focused on keeping her safe as their boss ordered. They thought that everything was fine until they heard a loud scream coming from inside the room and they quickly rushed in to find out what was wrong with Leila. The guards soon heard the gigantic door shut and it was locked from outside by her. Leila deceived them, she didn't expect that they would respond. She had taken a vase to smash on their head if any of them didn't come in but, Stupidly, they all rushed Inside— to attend to her.Leila saw a few people coming and she acted normal. They greeted her and she responded before moving outside that part of the hotel. Lei
