All my braveness seemed to come only when I was in bed with Carlos because I don’t think I’d be able to be a Dominant. Why didn’t I ask for a million dollars instead?I’m glad I had a good excuse to hide but I'm not glad my period is here.Period cramps should be a terrible disease.I used my last sanitary pad and had to go buy another.My cramp wasn’t bad yet, but it was hurting a little. I didn’t carry a car because I didn’t plan to go far, but when I got to the closest store and all my favorite brands had been sold out, I started regretting not carrying the car.I walked forward hoping I’d see somewhere to buy a good brand.The feeling came suddenly, like something cold was crawling up my back, I felt my hair rise.I was walking beside a glass building when I noticed a guy in all black, wearing a face cap and nose mask.Maybe that was the new style in town.He couldn’t be following me, right?I took a turn, and he followed.Okay, he was following me.I reached for my pocket to take
“If you ever had to choose between Louis and me, who would you go with?”“Choose as in?”“Let’s say you wouldn’t be able to see the other person ever again”That wasn’t even something I had to think about.“If not for Louis you would have sent my body to my dad and he would have fed it to vultures.”The words came out laced with hurt. I had forgotten about that and he just had to bring it back.I sat up, ignoring the pain in my stomach, and removed his hands from me. “I’d choose Louis over and over again.”He said nothing. Just stood up from my bed and left my room.That was the end of any situation ship between Carlos and me.One evening we had visitors. Some guys who worked for the Dos Santos.They brought bad news.One of their hideouts and been attached and five men were killed.Louis looked like he wanted to explode, and Juan looked like he wanted to cry. Only Carlos seemed calm.“Did you drop a message?”The guys looked at Carlos, surprised. “Yes, they did”The one named Jose op
Carlos came home a few minutes before midnight, his shirt was soaked red with blood.I was surprised to see he could still walk upright; I ran to him.“What happened? Where do you hurt, where you shot, knifed?” I was trying not to touch him but I wanted to help. I was very infuriated when he stretched lazily and gave an amused smile.“It’s not my blood”Oh, why was I even worried about him? Not like I cared anyway. I dropped my hands to my sides, it felt awkward so I folded them under my breasts.Carlos didn’t change his bloody clothes.When Louis got back, we did our progress check.Carlos’s day had been very eventful, he had discovered where Doom’s precious daughter was hiding and we were going to keep an eye on her in case Doom moved mad.The girls had been successfully dispersed. Now the battleground seemed fair.Juan had checked out Doom’s main source of money. It was right under our nose and we didn’t even know.On the streets that were claimed by Dos Santos, Doom had been using
I got to the car and moved immediately.I had noticed a little traffic jam earlier so I decided to take another route, it was a longer one but I would be able to speed up.I stepped up the gas.Frustration hit me when I saw a slow sign down ahead I slowed down even before I got to it, I almost didn’t notice the big truck coming at me.It didn’t horn or do anything to hide its intentions. I was about to be murdered.I hit the brakes immediately.Fear gripped my hands and then began to shake, I tried taking a U-turn but it would be of no use. There would be no surviving that.Sweat broke out on my forehead. Never have I felt death so close. I couldn’t die like this.There were so many things I needed to do. Carlos was waiting for me. Everyone was waiting for me. This cannot be my end. NOOOO.Then all of a sudden, another truck horned behind me.I almost accepted today would be my last day. Whosoever wanted me dead had planned it thoroughly.I wondered what to say as my last prayer.I c
I offered to go to wherever Anna was to protect her, I might not be the best in fighting but I knew how to defend myself but Carlos strongly objected but everyone else thought it was a good idea.“No, it won’t, we would be putting both women in one basket, Doom gets one, and he gets both”“But I do nothing here, I would go crazy if I didn’t do anything.” I was almost screaming, why wouldn’t let me breathe? He fills me with sexual frustration, he is never nice to me, he expects my absolute trust, and doesn’t want me out of his sight. Why doesn’t he understand he had no claim on me?Carlos seemed to have a very important card because everyone eventually sided with him.On day 5, Jose taught me how to play cards and the rules of gambling.I was quite good already. One of my past bodyguards was good at it. Miguel was very handsome and I tried hard to mess with him, but he never even kissed me. He said I was twitchy because I had nothing to do so he taught me how to play cards. He once pro
He did.“You’ve been avoiding me, you teased me and dropped me, you’ve stalled sex with me. Why now?”How dare Carlos call me a tease. I’ve given him all I could. I am playing my last card; couldn’t he see my desperation?The fucker’s hands were still on my boobs. I threw them away and tried to adjust my clothes.Something flashed in his eyes and he drew me close that there was no space between our bodies. My boobs were kissing his chest and we were looking eye to eye.He looked mad, angry. His breath came out harshly and his voice came out cold. His hands went around my neck.“You would keep still and wait for me. When the time finally comes, we would have all the time in the world to do all the shit and games we want. For now, you will keep calm.”He arranged my gown and tied it behind me.His hard demeanor lessened a bit. “For Anna”That was enough to calm me. “For Anna”Someone was called to do my makeup and style my hair. I felt very conscious because Carlos sat and watched me.W
The attention sent a rush into my body. The auction continued but I could still feel eyes on me. Zade helped me calm down.I began to like the attention, I flipped my hair, I smiled, and I sipped my drinks slowly.Zade gave me a small smile, “Nice move, but let’s not attract the wrong people”“Spoilsport”Finally, the auction ended and the next half hour was for dancing. A very handsome but eerie-looking man walked up to me.Zade whispered something into my ears and left me alone, “Doom”“Hello beautiful, you look stunning in that dress.” For some reason, I wasn’t afraid of him like I thought I would. He looked nothing like I thought he would.He looked like he was in his late 50s. most of his hair was grey, it gave him a look people spent a fortune to get. But what made me at ease was his smile. I didn’t know evil people smiled too.“What can I say? Red suits me well. You look dashing yourself”“Looks like Tuxes are my thing” He was wearing a very expensive Tuxedo.“Very much”“My na
Luckily, Miguel didn’t act like he knew me, that was the only relief I had. I knew I was going to lose.And I lost.At least it didn’t lose as woefully as I thought I might. I held my ground long enough, or it could just be him taking it easy on me.Miguel kept his eyes on me, he was probably trying to figure out what I was doing here. I tried not to meet his eyes as I wondered what he had been up to. It’s been close to four years since we saw each other, he no longer worked for my dad.I wondered what would happen now that I didn’t win. I wondered what would have happened if I had won.I didn’t bother to fight it or blame myself. I couldn’t have won Miguel even if I had been playing cards since I was born.We ended the game; Dante didn’t take the money Miguel had won from me.“C’mon, we all play for fun.” He laughed too loudly, it seemed like he had resprayed whatever gave him that choking smell because it was really strong in the air.“How about we all have a drink”He didn’t ask wh
