Chapter 14: (Rachel's pov)My body seized under his presence and my mind became restless. The words from Andrew during the call were ringing in my ears."Am I cheating on him? I do love him the most. Vincenzo is just my mission. I can't let him change my heart anyway. Once a mafia is always a mafia." I repeated with my trembling lips and pushed Vincenzo to move away from his grip."What the hell are you doing?" He yelled after falling to the ground."Don't expect all of this from me. You married me forcefully. It wasn't a yes from my end so keep your hands away." I answered back.He laughed hysterically while glaring at me."Do you think you can escape? Throw the thought out of your mind. This is a cage which can be opened only with my permission. I am not letting my pet leave me." He started on my face and left.My emotional breakdown was not far. My heart isn't acting according to my thoughts and my body reacts differently to his touches.I wiped my body with the curtain to remove
Chapter: 15Vincenzo dragged Rachel out of the room while continuously wailing at her.The poor girl cried faucets but he had turned a deaf ear towards her. While being pulled out of the black room, Rachel slipped and her head hit the hard corner of the book shelf and she wailed in pain and anger since Vincenzo had turned inhumane enough to not pay attention to her bleeding forehead. "You will stay here until I come back." He ordered, pushed her and locked the room. He went forward to attend the interview. Andy cancelled all the meetings for the day.Rachel was continuously crying at the foresight of her future. She was waiting for the sun to set and the ruthless master to appear.Vincenzo's mood was bitter since morning. He couldn't focus for one moment. His heart was quarrelling for getting the revenge from his dumb wife."Today she will get a taste of my real self." He gritted his teeth and fisted his palm. The picture of his mother's broken frame, her last memory was flashing in
(Rachel’s pov) My vision was blurring every passing minute as I forced the shots down my throat. “Any room available?” I inquired the lady at the reception. “Miss, please give me your ID.” I passed over my bag to her. Looking at her irritated expression, my mind could figure it wasn’t the right step, so I searched through my bag and handed over my Citizen ID. “Here's your card.” She offered. I almost snatched it and walked right towards the lift. The steps got heavier since the alcohol was kicking in. My eyes were on the verge of tearing as I recollected the sight of Andrew leaving while I was still kneeling with a ring for him. Getting into the lift, my eyes looked down at the suite number.“66” I rubbed my eyes. Reaching the 6th floor wasn’t a hassle since all that needed to do was a standstill in the lift. The bold numbers were evident towards the end of the floor. I passed the card through the door swipe twice, but it wasn’t responding. Kicked hard on the door, which backf
The sun shone brightly when Rachel got up from her beauty sleep. She whined about the unusual pain in her lower body and jumped to sit upright, seeing the luxurious room decors around her. (Rachel's POV) “What's all this?” I screamed when I saw the hickeys on my neck. The shirt wasn't mine. It was at least 2x my size. I shut my eyes right and the steamy night flashed in front of my eyes. I quickly grabbed my dress and bag to change and ran towards the door. As I opened it, I bumped into a waiter. “Miss, this is for you.” His face was so calm compared to my bullet racing emotions. I picked up the note and proceeds to read it. “It was nice spending time with you. You are highly desirable. Don't meet me again, or I will make you mine.” ~Your satisfying stranger I looked simultaneously at the note and then at the waiter. The words were constantly ringing in my ears. His voice was so deep that my mind could recite the letter in his voice. “Can you tell me who sent you with this?”
(Third person's POV) "What did you say, Andrew?" Rachel looked at him with a confused expression to reconfirm the words she heard. Andrew stood in front of her while grabbing her by the shoulders. "But…you said he's a criminal." Rachel sweated profusely due to the heated conversation going on. "So? Can't you sacrifice yourself for me?" He shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Rachel, you should be ashamed of yourself. Where was your conscience when you spent last night with a stranger? You don't believe me?" His annoyed expression and angry tone made Rachel flinch and she moved back. "Sorry…. Maybe I am overthinking." Rachel apologized for doubting her 'loyal' boyfriend. Turning his back from her he continued, "I and my team have been after Vincenzo Siemens for two years. Every time we fail by an inch. Somehow that bloody arrogant mafia wins. I want him to be behind the bars and this has become my craze. I don’t care about my life anymore.” Hearing the last sentence
(Rachel's pov)"Why do I feel he is Vince? His eyes…. I can't forget them." I slapped myself for thinking about the night again. My cheeks blushed and I looked down in embarrassment when suddenly reality hit me.I frantically searched for the hairpin but it was nowhere. My hair wasn't secured with it. "This is where hell's calling for me. Andrew repeatedly warned me not to get that misplaced…." I scratched my head twice."Mam, is this yours?" The waiter asked me.The diamond clip was shining. I quickly grabbed it from him and ended the conversation with a quick thank you.After some time, I felt the strain getting better so I got up and proceeded toward the main area thinking about how to approach Vincenzo.While pouring some juice, I noticed a young lady in a wheelchair. She looked young and pretty. I took a seat since my ankle was hurting again. The next moment I saw that lady trying to bend over the railing. That was dangerous. I noticed her cloth was getting stuck on the wheel
The car drive was particularly silent. Rachel kept her eyes on the passing avenues, whereas Vincenzo was busy with his laptop. She took out her mobile from the bag and saw a few messages from Andrew.“Inform me after you reach.”“Don’t forget to use the transmitter to connect with me. Use the picture for reference if you forget.”“I am always with you. Don’t worry, my love.”Rachel held the phone close to her heart and cursed Vincenzo for being the bone.“After you enter, the network will be gone. You can’t contact anyone.” Vincenzo spoke without looking up.“What? And why?” Rachel asked in her delicate tone.“This is VS Mansion. Top security is required. Inform me when you need to call someone.” He answered and shut the laptop.The car stopped in front of a large villa with wide gardens and an enormous pool. Rachel stared in awe at the surrounding beauty. The roses, tulips, and the beautiful fountain sought her attention. “Will you enter or not?” Vincenzo asked in his usual imperso
(Rachel’s pov)The ground was shaking under my feet. All I could think was, ‘Rachel, it’s your last day. This mafia will bury you alive today.’But thankfully I heard a thud. Turning back, I witnessed Vincenzo rubbing his left foot which got hit by the bedside. He was particularly glaring at me with those crisp eyes. I quickly stepped out to run away, but his call stopped me again.Quietly, I passed the file above the cupboard outside and pushed the pen drive into my pocket.By this time, he was already behind me and I could sense his heavy breaths. I was shaking in his presence and needed an excuse.“What are you doing in my room?” Vincenzo forcefully turned me towards him, and I met his angry eyes. My eyes looked down immediately, and I pressed my brain further, but no idea was coming up.“Tell me the fucking reason, Rachel. Goddammit. Do you want me to kill you?” He yelled.“I… I came to ask for some ointment.” That was a pure blurt from my end.“For your ankle?” “Yes, sir.” I loo
