I kept on running with Kay as we manoeuvred our way through the messy crowd. Kay pulled me through and we finally got out of the club. We couldn't take the main entrance because Yoshim's men were there. We were running through the dark alley, panting and gasping for air. Relief washed over me when I realised that I finally left that hell hole. We kept on running when I heard a gunshot. I immediately halted and felt a warm liquid trickling down my arm. I looked around and saw no wound, I glanced at Kay and my eyes widened. I immediately brought my hand to my mouth trying to suppress the scream that wanted to come out. Kay held his arm as he bled profusely, he groaned in pain and fell on his knees. “Oh my God, Kay are you alright? Ugh, what am I going to do.” I said while hyperventilating. I heard footsteps and looked up only to be met by those same devilish eyes. He wore a grin on his face. And to his left was Gail who clung to him like a barnacle. How did he even know I escaped? “Haha, I overheard your little conversation with the guard, so I told Yoshim.” She smiled while talking. “Gail, what the fuck is wrong with you?” I said with anger and tears in my eyes. She shrugged her shoulders and her mouth curved into a smile. I pressed my hand on Kay's wound to stop the bleeding, he groaned in pain and I couldn't stop my tears. “I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago.” Yoshim said while pointing a gun to my head. I closed my eyes and waited for him to pull the trigger.
View MoreI sat there quietly on the bed, my head filled with thoughts. Just when I felt like I was in love with someone, I was betrayed again and brought back to square 1. There's no doubt that I loved Rodrigo with all my heart. His tricks did a number on me heavily. Reminiscing our old memories made me feel sick. It was all an act, just a stupid act to kill me in the end to have more riches. After everything, how can he be so cruel?He is such a good actor, not going to lie. I've learnt my lesson, love doesn't exist. Love makes you stupid and vulnerable. It makes people walk all over you. I'm going to focus on myself and heal, Rodrigo is my past now. We never had a real marriage anyway, and our contract expires in a week. It's all over now.“Hillary, I went out to buy you some food. You like fries, right?” I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't realise when he had walked inside. I smiled and nodded slightly. Oh, I'm such a fool. If only Kay didn't get shot that day, I wouldn't have been
Hillary pov “Kay? Oh my god, it's so good to see you. I heard you were fired. Why are you still here?” He kept on looking around like he was being chased by someone. “Listen to me, Hillary, we need to leave this place quickly.” My brows furrowed, and he tried to pull me, but I pushed him away. “Kay, what is wrong with you? You're being weird.” “Listen, we don't have enough time. We need to leave now.” “I can't, Rodrigo will get mad.” “What? Are you thinking about him now? Listen to me, if we don't leave this place immediately, you're going to die. “What? What kind of nonsense is this? Kay, let me go, are you drunk?” I removed his hands from my shoulders, but he gripped it again. “Listen to me, Hillary. Rodrigo brought you here to kill you.” I stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say to him. “Kay, this is crazy. What are you talking about?” “Rodrigo doesn't love you. He never did. You were just his ticket to more riches. You're his 09 fortune.” 09 fortune? I swear I'
Hillary Pov We arrived at his parent's mansion soon, and a lot of people were present this time. I turned to look at Rodrigo, he hates crowded places, but he didn't have any dissatisfied look. He had no expression on his face. We were server a couple of wines, but I didn't take any, I was feeling a bit lightheaded before, so i didn't want to worsen it.“Nephew, is this your wife? She's just a doll.” A stout looking man with a broad smile approached us. He took my hand and kissed it while flashing me a smile. His teeth were so yellow. I was surprised, Rodrigo was just standing there, watching him. Normally, he'd shoo away people who would even try to hold conversations with me, but today, he's just standing there, unfazed. “Glad you could make it, Uncle Julio.” He said while shaking his hand. Okay, so he's his uncle, so what? He's literally flirting with me. Why is he pretending like he can't see?I glanced around, scanning through the crowd carefully. “Are you looking for your boy
It's been 2 weeks since I left home. We finally finished with all the countless meetings and I was heading back home. I was feeling a bit nervous, I don't know why. I met Fabio at the airport and he helped with my luggage. “Can you drive to a pharmacy before we go home? I have this killer headache.”“Did you drink again? You gotta work on this drinking problem. “Come on, I don't drink unless I'm troubled.”“Yes, and you drink for all the ones you've lost.” Fabio scolded but I ignored him. He got me some painkillers, and I took them to ease my headache. We arrived at home soon and I was hesitant to go inside. I'm just thinking about what Hillary would say. “You coming?” Fabio's voice jerked me back to reality. “Yeah, yeah.” I entered the house, and the first person I spotted was Hillary, she was in the kitchen with Greta, she realised that I was back, but she didn't spare me a glance. I went to our room to get changed. I was in the shower when I heard her enter the room. The do

We both arrived in different cars, I don't like the idea of driving with a slut. We arrived at my apartment, and she couldn't stop gawking at how big the place was.It made me remember the time I took Hillary to my parents, and she wouldn't stop looking. ‘Oh fuck, there you go again, have some decorum’ my conscience scolded me.We entered one of the rooms, and I took a seat while manspreading. I was in a navy blue shirt. I unbuttoned my shirt and relaxed into my chair. I was sitting just opposite the bed and she was standing in front of me, drooling over my bare chest. I'm sure she's very happy about this, I never fuck sluts. I liked to play around with rich, spoilt girls, but they were too clingy, and I hated it. I mean, don't you get what no strings attached means? Dumb bitches. “Take off your clothes,” I commanded her and she didn't waste a minute. She seductively took off her dress, each piece she took off a seductive lip bite. “Lay on the bed with your legs parted.” She glad
Rodrigo pov“A toast to this empire and to Rodrigo, who will soon succeed me and raise this empire higher; cheers.” “Cheers.”Everyone in the room chanted as they clicked their glasses. Father and I were in Italy for a very important meeting. I was finally getting to meet some of my uncles who are also thriving in the mafia business. I wanted to deny it, but I knew what this was; it felt like a pre-initiation. They're going to put pressure on me soon to bring Hillary for the ritual. I felt sad and empty, I've never loved anyone like Hillary, and now I have to sacrifice her in order to prove to my family that I am worthy of my position. Most of them didn't have wives, and I knew why. The only reason my dad remarried was to have more children, but he never slept in the same room with Genevieve for 5 years. When he finally felt like he should move on, it was too late; the doctor said he had short sperm counts, so that meant that he couldn't have more children. I missed Hillary, I ha
“What nonsense are you spewing, Kay? Why would he kill Hillary?” Mrs Sango said defensively. Kay scoffed while scratching his nose. “What are you now, a caring mother? Do you really have no idea about this?”He looked back and forth between Rodrigo and Mrs Sango. “Really? She doesn't know? Hahaha, what? I guess only the men know about it.”Rodrigo remained at his spot, unable to talk back. He didn't know the words to use. He suddenly felt empty and pathetic. “What are you talking about? Rodrigo, what is he talking about?” Mrs Sango turned to face Hillary. He had an expression she had never seen before on him.“Are you going to tell her, or should I?I guess it's up to me then. Mrs Sango, ever wondered what happened to Rodrigo's mother?”“She fell ill and died; what is this about?” Kay laughed hysterically. “That's such a lame lie. Is that the only thing you guys could come up with? At least make up a good lie.”“What the fuck are you talking about!” Mrs Sango yelled in frustration.
