The sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the building, Leila's heart raced even faster. The atmosphere in the room became electric with tension as everyone held their breath, awaiting the arrival of whoever was outside.
Suddenly, the heavy metal door swung open with a loud crash. Stefano, the tall blonde muscular don stepped into the room with all of his glory.He possessed a striking presence that commanded the attention of everyone. His physical features exuded a potent combination of charm, power and allure.Standing at a height that towered above most, he had a strong and commanding presence. Broad shoulders and a sculpted chest gave him an imposing frame that hinted at his capacity for both protection and dominance.His chiseled face was a captivating blend of rugged masculinity and refined features. His dashing looks were enough to throw any woman on her knees.Sharp cheekbones and a defined jawline accentuated his facial structure, giving him an air of sophistication and strength. His lips were full and alluring, hinting at a hint of danger beneath his seemingly controlled exterior. His ears glittered with diamond crusted earrings, dangling as he walked.Eyes, deep and fierce, were his most captivating features. They held a mesmerizing quality, often described as windows to his soul. Intense and expressive, they seemed to hold a world of hidden emotions and secrets. The color could vary, ranging from piercing icy blue to dark and mysterious hazel, further adding to the enigma that surrounded him.His hair was meticulously styled, reflecting his attention to detail. It was neatly slicked back. The color could vary, from dark, lustrous locks that exuded a sense of power to lighter shades that emphasized his more charismatic and approachable side.Dressed in tailored suits made from the finest fabrics, he exuded an aura of luxury and wealth. Every detail, from the perfectly fitted jacket to the well-tailored trousers, accentuated his physique. The suits were often dark and elegant, further enhancing his air of mystery and sophistication. Adorned with exquisite accessories, such as a high-end watch or a tasteful piece of jewelry, he exuded a sense of opulence and refinement.It was a combination of his striking features, magnetic charisma, and the enigmatic aura he projected that made him irresistibly attractive to those around him, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who crossed his path.Behind him, a group of armed individuals dressed in the same black suits stormed into the room with their guns at arm's length."Who the fuck are you?" The gambler roared vehemently as confusion and anger masked his face.He pointed his gun at Stefano angrily, ready to gun him down with every last muscle in him."Put down the gun, if I was here to kill you I would have let your blood spill on the floor the minute I came in " Stefano regurgitated."Then who the fuck are you and what do you want?" The gambler raised his voice at Stefano who wasn't bothered about the gun or the man that held it."How dare you raise your voice at me? If I hear one more word from you I'll make sure I put two bullets through your fucking skull" Stefano thundered like a raging bull.His eyes seethed with anger."I'm not here for you, I'm here for her. Do not tempt my fury" He scowled and walked up to Leila who was utterly confused."Hey beautiful. Remember me?" He slowly brushed Leila's hair as he bore into her beautiful yet distorted eyes.Leila shook her head from side to side indicating a no. She wore a bewildered expression, her forehead creased and her lips pursed, as if grappling with conflicting thoughts."Who is this? And what does he mean by he wants me? Have I met him before? Did I loose my memory or something?" Questions began purging Leila's mind."How can you forget the time we spent together, way too memorable for me to forget" a wry smile appeared on Stefano's lips as he continued to pace round the room."And you must be Maria, the mother of my principessa, my one true desire" Stefano praised Leila to her mother.She was astonished and robbed off of speech. Every soul in the room kept mute as Stefano walked round confidently."I know you all are confused as to who I am but my identity is none of your business. All you need to know is that I am not a man to be messed with. Lower your guns now, the easy way or my men will make you do it the hard way" Stefano threatened the gambler and his goons which they reluctantly obeyed."Now I'm aware that this lady here owes you some money, am I correct?" He picked up a small wooden chair by the corner and sat on it, crossing his leg to lie over the other."Yes" The gambler replied, watching Stefano closely."Good. Let them go" He commanded."Do you know how much this lady owes me? You can't just come in here and tell.me to free this debtor" the gambler wailed angrily."Who gave you the audacity to speak to me in that demeanor? May I remind you that you are at my mercy right now. The only reason why your head is still attached to your body is because I'm giving you an easy way out" Stefano's said, his frightening tone scared the wits out of everyone.Silence eroded the atmosphere immediately."I want to make a smooth transaction for you, so for your own life, you better cooperate" Stefano emphasized, his voice laced with a hint of warning."I'm listening what's your deal?" the gambler inquired.Stefano gave a hand gesture, signaling his men to bring a suitcase. A capo of his dropped the briefcase on the table and opened it."Now that's $2 million, you either take the money or die a meaningless death" He mocked distastefully."Okay" The gambler agreed instantly."Not just yet...."With another signal from the Capei, his right hand man walked to the table and closed the briefcase.Stefano's eyes narrowing back to Leila's mother.He stood to his feet and ambled towards her."You see my principessa over there? I want her and you'll help me get her. All thanks to your foolish addiction, I'll buy her as mine.I'm sure you must be really proud of your self for putting your daughter in this mess.Now let me help your miserable life by also offering you a deal, you can either sign your daughter off to me or die here with this lowlifes.Trust me you don't have a choice, your poverty stricken life depends on my money, this is your only option" Stefano spat revoltingly at Maria.She kept mute for a second, trying to weigh the options she had. Truly, this was her only best option."You are wasting my time woman!" Stefano grumbled furiously."Yes I agree" Maria responded sharply."Ofcourse you do, you poverty stricken gamblers would do anything just to pay off debts and be free" He continued to mock before the contract papers were brought.Maria scowled, the insults ate her up but she had no choice but to accept and play along."Now sign" He commanded and Maria obeyed."Mom?! Are you serious right now?" Leila angrily protested."You don't have to worry babydoll, you'll enjoy me" Stefano assured before walking back to the gambler while his made man stood next to Maria as she signed the papers."Who do you think you are? How can you just walk in here and try to claim legal rights over me?" Leila shot at Stefano angrily."Look here baby, No one talks to me in that manner, you are now my property so you should show some respect" He added before taking his attention away from an engulfed Leila.Stefano's eyes scanned the gamblers men and immediately, he noticed something."I thought I ordered you all to drop your guns?! Who does this mother fucker think he is to disobey me?" Stefano's wrath became apparent as he picked up his gun and shot the gambler's goon who he caught holding a gun.In an instant, the man fell to the floor as blood began to gush out of him. Leila's heart sank, she suddenly came to a realization that her life was about to take a drastic turn."Get the girl, we are leaving" Stefano commanded the capos before plodding out of the building.Two hefty men grabbed Leila's arm as she struggled to release herself from their iron grip."Leave me the fuck alone!" Leila screamed at the men but it was of no use, they firmly gripped onto her arm, took her out of the building and dropped her in Stefano's car."What have you done? My mother!" Her screams were deafening, enough to freeze the blood in one's veins. "Let me out of the fucking place!" Leila continued to wail, pushing the door with every strength in her.Irritated, Stefano cupped her chin, digging his fingers deep into her flesh. His scorching gaze locked onto her eyes, penetrating her very soul, while the razor-sharp contours of his jawline seemed capable of slicing through the very fabric of existence itself."I swear if you do not shut it, I will end you and dispose your body, right here, right now" Stefano threatened a frightened Leila, his fierce gaze still locked onto h
LEILAAs I stepped through the entrance of the mansion's double doors, I was immediately awed by the breathtaking view of the mansion. The interior saturated with a mix of Italian luxury and comfort.Sunlight poured through the towering windows, casting a warm glow on the polished marble floors that stretch out before me. The air was filled with a subtle scent of fresh flowers, mingling with the delicate fragrance of beeswax candles that flickered softly in ornate candle sticks.My gaze was drawn to the soaring ceilings adorned with intricate, hand-painted murals depicting scenes of mythological tales and celestial wonders alongside this man and pictures of other people who seemed really close to him, like his family members. The walls adorned with luxurious silk tapestries, showcasing a mosaic of colors, with this I could easily tell that he had an impeccable taste and love for art.Plush velvet sofas and chairs beckoned with their rich crimson and gold tones, adding a regal touch to
LEILAAs the sun's rays danced through the sheer white curtains, gently caressing my face, I resisted the external urge to open my eyes.The softness of the king-sized bed held me in its comforting embrace, urging me to relax a little longer. My weak body struggled from the temptation of sleeping longer than usualBlinking away the remnants of sleep, I struggled to gather my thoughts. A rapid knock on the door jeered me out of my sleep. Who could be coming to disturb me so early this morning. It better not be that wicked man that runs his mouth at every given chance."Who is that?" I inquired with sleepy eyes. struggling to stand from the comfort of my bed.Without an answer, a lady dressed in a black and white maid outfit walked in with a tray of food in her hands."Mr Stefano said we should never serve his food again, he said you should be the one to always serve his food" She said calmly.Fuck! So he really was not joking when he said my duty is to serve his food, everything abou
LEILAAt the end of the room, just beside a window were shackles and handcuffs on the wall.My eyes darted to the large bed, the room was quite different from the other room I had been.Less luxurious and more mysterious, it looked more like a prison room than a bedroom. No paintings, no chandeliers and no colorful lights.It looked like a pauper's room, one with shackles. What the hell does this man do in here? Why did he bring me here? "Undress now!" He ordered whilst turning to lock the door. "Undress? Why would I do such a thing for you? You are not my husband neither are you my boyfriend so why should I?" I scowled at him, finally finding the confidence I had lost minutes ago."I don't need to be any of those for you to undress for me, I own you so you have no obligations" He said coldly, glaring down at me with hungry eyes."Why are you doing this to me? Why won't you let me go? How long will I stay in your house?" I cried out.Without uttering any words he walked towards me,
LEILABeen not able to feel legs was one of the most discomforting feelings ever, I felt like a slut, like a prostitute. Was that all he saw me as? A mere commodity for his sexual pleasures? Is that all he saw in me when he made that contract? How exactly did he know of my mother's debts? So many questions hurled in my mind.I hate him so much, every fibre in me despites him, how can he be so heartless to me? he just caged me like a slave and tried to molest me.I won't let him go scott free for molesting me like that, is that how he treats women where he comes from? He thinks he is some sort of a god that can do whatever he wants with anyone but he has chosen the wrong woman.I will call the police and report him for sexual harassment and then he would have to face the law for disrespecting me.I am not one of those women he can toy with and expect to keep shut about it, no way.But how do I call the police without a phone? I need to find my phone and make the call, the phone is pro
LEILAI stared intently as Stefano's sleek car slowly made a turn, gradually driving away from the grand mansion. Finally! The moment had arrived when I could retrieve my phone and urgently call the police.My mind spun with a whirlwind of ideas and plans for the future. I imagined all the places I would go, the freedom I would experience once the authorities had apprehended that beast who wore a human skin. There is this sudden joy that surges up inside me whenever I saw him drive away.Stefano, that insufferable creature had become an unbearable presence in my life. His mere existence seemed to grate against my very soul. The absence of his domineering presence felt like a slice of heaven, a sanctuary from his constant oppression and belittlement.With careful steps, I quietly ambled my way towards the towering doors that led to Stefano's room. I was determined in my mission to retrieve my phone without alerting anyone, not even one of his maids who seemed to be loyal followers
LEILAHis manly grip on me was extremely firm, how can someone be this strong? It didn't even seem like he used much energy to pull my frail self out of the room.Still in the heated atmosphere I struggled to escape my upcoming punishment."Stop!" I fearfully screamed out the only words I could think of at that moment. I felt weightless to his pull.He slammed open the mansion doors and pushed me outside, I was afraid, scared, confused. Any word to describe to describe how terrified I was.But one thing was certain, whatever was about to happen was not something that would be pleasurable.But honestly, have I ever experienced pleasure in the four walls of this huge mansion.Not even a glimpse of happiness."On your knees" he ordered and I scowled.What exactly does this man derive in punishing me? Why does he always want to punish me? He has no idea of what I wanted to even use the device for but still, he wants to punish me for what he believes is wrong."Don't make me repeat myself"
STEFANO"Boss we have new information about Giovanni, he was last seen in Milan in a strip club, should we hunt him down?" Bruno's messaged popped up on my phone at three in the morning.I scowled at the information, Giovanni thinks he is smart for trying to pull a fast one on me. I'll remind him that I am his boss, Don of the Blackheads and nobody goes against me without a scar or a bullet through their head.Trusting a Lucianese was one mistake I made, that family is typically known for their cunning and deceitful ways but I won't back down without a fight.I will end Giovanni's entire family lineage if he puts a hole in my family's name, I won't let his children rest from the furnace of fire that I will unleash on them.With anger pulsating through me I sent a message to my three capos, Bruno, Massimo and Cesare.Telling them to arrange a meeting and a departure plane to Milan as soon as possible.My capos were my most trusted men, even in the falling times of our families they stoo
