Chapter 17Scarlett Wolff“Do you need me to help you with anything else?” Derek asked after he helped me get Alexa into the backseat of her car.“No, thanks. I'll take it from here.” I had turned to hop inside the car when he spoke up.“Did you drink earlier?” His question had me turning to him with my eyebrows raised.“Why do you ask?”“You can't drive while drunk.” He gave me a ridiculous reply that had me scoffing.“Do I look drunk?”“Not really. But you might get stopped on the way, and you know what that means. I don't mind giving you a ride.” He offered, and I huffed before telling him bluntly that I wasn't interested.“You will regret not accepting this offer later, Scarlett. Trust me.” He winked at me, causing me to huff and rolled my eyes.After Derek walked away, I hopped inside the car and drove off.It was just a few minutes into the drive when I saw cops on the road ahead, and I let out a sigh. I guess I'm going to get stopped. I was flagged down as I approached them, an
Chapter 18 Lucien Alessandro I was supposed to meet Vlad right away earlier, but something urgent came up, and I had to delay it. 'Let's meet at the villa now'. I texted Vlad a couple of minutes ago on my way to the villa. The drive only took about fifteen minutes before I arrived at the villa where I found Vlad's car already parked at the garage. “Boss.” He stood up and bowed when I walked inside the living room. “Hmm. Something came up, the reason I'm late.” I explained to him even though there was no need to. “It's fine, boss. I understand.” He replied to me, and I nodded. “So?” I sat on the couch across from him, waiting for him to give me the piece of information he had for me. “This is the information I found about Dimitri, boss.” Vlad dropped an iPad on the centre table and pushed it to my front. “Dimitri Pietro. Age twenty-nine. An orphan who grew up in an orphanage with his elder brother, the late Giovanni Pietro. He joined the Bratva family when he was j
Chapter 19Lucien AlessandroI drove recklessly on the road with no destination in mind. Never in a million years have I ever imagined I'd ever be this scared of someone getting hurt. It was the first time I was having this feeling.For the umpteenth time, I dialled her number, hoping I would be able to reach her this time, but just like every other time that I had tried it, her number wasn't still reachable.“Fuck!” I cursed, tossing my phone on the seat beside me.Another five minutes into the drive, and I saw a few cops ahead of me, checking the cars in front of me and causing traffic congestion.I waited impatiently until they got to my turn.“There was a murder case around the neighborhood, so we are checking cars. Open your trunk, please.” The cop, who was in his mid thirties, said to me politely, and I had to open the trunk for him. After he was done checking, he came to me and told me that I could leave. I was about to leave when it crossed my mind to show him Scarlett's pictu
Chapter 20Lucien AlessandroMy heart melted the moment I opened the door and found Scarlett standing at my doorstep. She was graced in a short nightie which barely covered her butt, and slightly opened in the chest, revealing her cleavages. She had her hair up in a ponytail, which has always been my favourite hairstyle of herself. “Can I come in?” I swallowed nothing and managed to nod my head when she spoke, and after she came inside, I closed the door and turned to her.Silence assumed the atmosphere as I stood in front of her, looking everywhere else except her direction. It was already difficult having her around, and now she was looking all yummy. Gosh! I don't want to do something crazy, please.“About what happened earlier…” she paused, fondling her fingers when I looked at her. The way she made eye contact with me was another level of confidence that I couldn't explain. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you pissed. I was just bored at home and jumped at the offer when my fri
Chapter 21Scarlett WolffI could barely sleep all through the night as I looked forward to daybreak so I could go out with Lucien.It was barely 6am when I woke up and left for the kitchen to do the chores and make breakfast. I have no idea why he doesn't have a single house help in his house, but I didn't bother to ask him.My phone rang at the time that I just rounded up washing the plates, and I rolled my eyes when I saw that it was Alexa.“Have you slipped out of your messed up state now, huh?” I spoke on the phone once I picked the call, and I heard her scoff.“Don't be mad at me, sweetheart. I'm sorry about what happened. I'm going to make it up to you, and that's a promise.” She whined, causing me to roll my eyes again as I reclined on the counter.“Do you have plans today? We could hang out together. I won't get drunk again, I promise.”“Nah. I have plans.” I quickly replied to her.“Going out with someone?” “That's not your business, bitch. Have you slipped out of hangover
Chapter 22 Scarlett Wolff “Sign here, please.” The delivery man gave me a paper to sign on after he handed my order to me, and I did. “Thank you.” I muttered before going back inside, my heart fluttering with joy. A smile spread across my lips once I stepped inside my room and locked the door behind me. I couldn't wait to unbox my order, so I went ahead to do it, and I was very pleased with what I was welcomed with. It was an eight inch dildo. My pussy wall tightened in anticipation as it couldn't wait to have a taste of it, and I didn't hesitate to give it what it so craved for. I carefully dropped it on the bed before proceeding to strip out of my dress, leaving me stark naked. I carefully pasted the dildo on the wall and went on my knees, slowly stroking it while running my other hand through my body, fondling with my boob and pinching my nipple, sending sparks all through my body. My heart pounded hard in my chest that I literally heard the sound as though it was going to exp
Chapter 23 Lucien Alessandro I literally heard the sound of my heart beating rapidly in my chest as we sat side by side in the cinema. It was only us here in the dark hall and there was more than enough ventilation, but I felt suffocated. I tried to fix my gaze on the movie that was just starting, resisting the urge to look at Scarlett who was sitting innocently beside me. I wasn't sure how long I would be able to hold this desire in. The desire to touch every part of her body. I reached for the bottle water beside me, and at that moment, she did the same, causing our hands to make contact, and it felt like I was shocked by an electric spark. I was quick to avert my gaze, clearing my throat. My breath hitched, and I unbuttoned the button close to my neck as if it was going to help. Just when the fuck was the movie going to end so we could get the fuck out here as it was already frustrating. “Fuck!” I cursed silently under my breath embarrassingly when I saw the budge in my trous
Chapter 1Anastasia Konstantinos“I told you to speak, Ana!” My father, Alpha Konstantinos, snapped as he sent a hot slap across my cheek that sent me crashing to the ground as I held my burning cheek, tears trickling down my cheeks.“Speak, Ana!” He snapped again, squatting in front of me and grabbing my hair as he dragged me across the room, not minding the pain he was causing me. He was probably enjoying it.I couldn't beg for mercy nor could I cry out in pain. I was left with no choice but to cry silently and just endure the pain.“Why didn't you just die if you were going to end up this way? Why didn't you die, Anastasia?” Resentment was evident in his voice as he spat at me with so much hatred. But even with the torture, the pain was nothing, compared to the one I felt in my heart.“Father, please. It hurts. Please stop.” I wanted to beg him to stop, I wanted to beg for mercy, but sadly, I had to endure silently and take in the pain like I had been doing since this abuse started
Chapter 48 Derek “It's the class president,” “Derek is here,” My classmates were quick to announce my presence as I made my way into the meeting hall where almost all my classmates were already waiting. My eyes dropped on Scarlett, and I almost smiled when I saw her standing out perfectly in the crowd. How she was always able to melt my heart in a way that no one woman could ever do, was something I couldn't still wrap my head around. Perhaps, she was just a special being. I made my way to the front of the hall, the noise slowly died down as I stood behind the podium until the loud silence took over. Even the sound of a pin drop would be heard at that moment. “Uh…” I began, taking a short deep breath. I wasn't cut out for this, but what could I do when I had to address the happenings? Damn the school rector for putting me up to this. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to. 'The school is already in chaos, Derek. You need to address this' He had pleaded with me while a

Chapter 47'Let's be friends' My heart ached as those words kept repeating in my head. What was she trying to say? That I wasn't good enough for a relationship? I wasn't her type of man? Who was then? That old man? She's going to regret this.The fading reverberating laughter on the rooftop brushed my ears as I took the stairs up, but was welcomed by Alexa standing close to the rail with her phone pressed to her ear with her right hand, and her left hand holding the rail.“That's sweet. I love you too,”I watched as she concluded her call. She flinched when she turned and found me standing with my hands tucked inside my pockets.“Derek?” She pulled a surprised face, and I finally walked up to her.“Have you been standing there?” She raised her eyebrows, and I scoffed silently.Bitch! I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation.I put on a smile, shaking my head and said. “I just got here. I only heard ‘that’s sweet. I love you',”She breathed out, relief creeping up her face.“Is the
Chapter 46Scarlett Wolff“How is Mr. Hottie?” Alexa whispered in my ear as we headed into the class, and I chuckled. My mind was about to explode, and I really needed to let out everything because I couldn't keep it inside me. What happened was too much to handle.“He is fine,” I smirked at her, and she gasped, covering her mouth.“Something happened, right? You better tell me everything without leaving a single thing out,” she pointed her index finger at me as we walked to take a seat, and I chuckled.“I wasn't planning to,” I smirked at her, and she chuckled.“That is why I love you. Now, spill the beans,” she kicked the air excitedly, covering her face as her cheeks flushed.I told her everything that happened between Lucien and I this morning, and by the time I was done narrating everything, she was sitting frozen on the spot with her eyes widened.“All that happened?” She cupped her cheeks in her palms, raising an eyebrow questioningly.“Fuck! This is… my goodness! I need someon
Chapter 46DerekI felt a surge of anger as I watched Scarlett stepping out of the car that just came to drop her off in front of the school gate. It was the same person who came to pick her from my house last night.The way she smiled as she waited until he drove off, left a sting in my heart. Even though it looked like it, I refused to believe it. She couldn't have a thing with that man. I refused to even think of it even though it was obvious.I walked over to her, arriving at the time she turned to come inside through the gate. She paused the moment she saw me, shock was written on her face. Was she hoping no one would see her when she was busy showing him off like he owned her?“Hey!” She smiled at me. “Good morning,”“Hmm. Good morning,” I tucked my hands inside my pockets, and briefly looked in the direction the car went as if I could still see it, before turning my gaze back to her.“I see you got home safely last night,” I gave her a smile, even though I was burning inside.“
Chapter 44Scarlett WolffMy heart thumped hard against my ribcage as Lucien slid his hand underneath my robe, caressing my bare thigh. My stomach became dry, the air around me thickened and became hard to take in, making my breath almost shallow.I felt a warm feeling spread across my body, my skin tingling with anticipation as I threw my head back on the wall, resisting the urge to moan.'You can't do this, Scarlett. You can't let him touch you just like that after what he did'I reminded myself, gathering all the courage left in me to push him back roughly.“Don't touch me!” My voice almost betrayed me, but I was glad I could still sound cold. I threw him a glare before walking out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.Lucien followed me into the room, grabbing my hand and pulling me back as I crashed against his back, but I yanked his hand off and stepped away from him.“You don't fucking touch me like you own me, Mr. Lucien. Don't cross your boundary,” it's crazy how I wa
Chapter 43Scarlett Wolff“Here… change into this,” Derek handed me a robe after he gave me a room to spend the night in.“Thank you,” I muttered, and he gave me a smile.“Call me if you need anything. Make yourself comfortable,” he said to me before leaving the room, and I went to lock the door once he was out of the room, throwing myself on the spacious queen-sized bed once it was just myself inside the room.My mind wandered off to the thought of Lucien, and I bit my lip hard. After trying to reach him earlier with no success, I had left the house to go look for him though I had no idea where I could find him. That was until I got freaked out in the middle of the road. I tried calling Alexa, but she didn't take her call, and I presumed she probably had her phone silenced before going to bed. At that moment, the only person I could reach out to was Derek, and I was glad he came right in time to save me from that cold and scary night.I reached for my phone, and it was then I saw a m
Chapter 42Derek“Our daughter was a good girl who never deserved this kind of treatment. I am going to fight them with everything I have. I am going to seek justice for my daughter. Her killer is not going to go free,” I clenched my jaw tightly as I watched the press conference of Julian's father. He was in tears.“Ugh! Why is he making a big deal out of this? Wait… good girl? What a load of crap,” I scoffed, turning off the television before tossing the remote on the center table in my room.“She came to me by herself. Is that their definition of being decent? That bitch came to me herself saying she liked me. Why the fuck is he making a big deal out of it?” I groaned, reaching for my phone and calling my dad's number. He has to take care of this mess as always. I couldn't afford getting caught and probably facing a death sentence or being behind bars for the rest of my life. Besides, it was all his fault.“Fucking pick your call, man! Pick the damn phone,” I cursed angrily, running
Chapter 41Lucien Alessandro‘All clear, boss'My lips curled up in a smirk as I read through the text Vladimir sent to me before clicking on the attached photo. There he was. The invincible el Kostya, lying there dead on the floor in a pool of his own blood. El Kostya was a powerful and influential mafia leader. He was one who could never be defeated by anyone, but Vladimir did it. I would've done it myself, but he wasn't worth it.'I'll be there shortly'I returned his message before heading to my car, driving out of the compound.I drove through thick darkness for an hour and a half before I arrived at the casino where Vladimir was waiting for me.My phone started to ring as soon as I pulled over in front of the building, but I disconnected the call and went ahead to switch my phone off before heading into the building. I didn't want any distraction.I tucked my hands inside my pockets, while walking down the walkway minutes later. Unlike every other time, the casino was silent lik
