Chapter 14 Sign a contract Olivia's POV, This wasn't happening. How did I get myself into this mess? These people were everything I loathed my entire life. The sight of such criminals made me sick to the stomach. I didn't want this, knowing my parents always told me to be upright and stay away from such men, and now I was sitting in front of their leader. The man who was the devil himself and looking at him. I would rather not be here.“What? Are you scared?” Pedro asked with a dark expression. I didn't know these people were mafias. And he was their leader. The Mafia King.“You should respect him because he damn saved your life…” this time Zane was the one who said harshly. Earlier when they killed those two men. I wanted to run and get away from there. I chose not to be a part of it, unfortunately , I was dragged back to their den, which now I realized was the mafia hideout.“But you kill people…you do illegal things…what makes you any different from Luciano,” I said, lowering my g
Luciano sat in his study room, lost in thoughts. There were things he hated, and that was people double-crossing him and people desiring what was his. In the past, he did what he had to do for his family.For his father's justice. And since that time he had been empty, knowing he had to kill the woman he grew fond of. He would like it if he said he didn't fall for Olivia's childish behavior.She was the enemy. He had a mission to make her fall in love with him and then break her heart. That was the plan. To make her suffer like his father did, but plans changed, and he had no way of stopping things from happening.“Are you going to stay there…it's morning” while lost in thoughts, he heard a familiar voice say, and snapping back to reality, he looked up and found his wife standing in front of him. For one thing, he forgot he spent the night in his study room, and when he woke up. He was too occupied thinking about Olivia, something about the lady he saw reminded him of her.“No, I have
Luciano was sitting at a well-known café sipping on coffee as he glanced at his wristwatch and knew the lady was running late. He hadn't had much patience for anyone like he was doing this.Yes, it was only for business purposes. However, he was saddened to realize he was far into meeting this woman, unlike he planned.“Another one?” the woman who had been serving him coffee asked as soon as she approached his table. Luciano nodded without saying a word. He was a regular here. The owner knew very well he liked privacy, just like now he requested for a private place. The café was known for its good coffee. The owner cultivated his coffee, which was refined and good. He liked natural things and people putting effort into what they did, and the coffee shop was good. The lady brought him a new cup of coffee and left from there.Luciano had ordered his guards not to even dare show their faces anywhere near him. Yes, he was a big deal, but having people watching him didn't sit well with him.
“Mom, I don't know what you want?” Lia said, as she paced around, not sure why her mom called her back from school. She frequently came home knowing she hated it here. Antonia scanned her youngest daughter from head to toe and wondered where she went wrong. Seeing her wearing nothing but bad rags despite the reputation her family held. “Young lady, mind the tone you use when talking to me…go to your room and freshen up,” Antonia said in a warning tone. Her cat-like eyes shifted the wine glass placed on the side table by the servants, and her daughter wasn't happy.“Mom, I didn't come here to sit or listen to your family drama… I have things to do if you can excuse me” Lia said, rolling her eyes and preparing to leave, but stopped when Antonia slammed her hand on the table angrily. She hated coming here more than anything.“Don't be rebellious… I asked all your siblings to come here now, go and shower and make sure you don't wear such ridiculous clothes in my presence!” Antonia yelled,
Olivia sat in her chair as she took small sips of the fine wine Luciano ordered. Her eyes moved around the bar, watching as the waitresses moved around serving customers. Her heart was heavy as her eyes fell on the girl she was more than happy to see. She chose this particular bar when Luciano suggested going out with him, and since Pedro agreed to this. She came to the same place Sydney was working. “So many family members?” I heard Luciano say, and when I moved my attention back to him. I had no words to say to him. He was a fool, just like before. Looking at him, I felt sorry for what was going to happen to his family in the following months. He was supposed to be wary by now. I was only holding myself back knowing his family would suffer painfully…they'd beg for mercy, and I was certain to make sure they died a miserable death. Starting from his mother. She pretended to like me when in reality she hated me. “My family doesn't live in this country,” I said, smiling at him, and he
After a long tiresome morning workout session, Olivia decided to fill her stomach with delicious food. She had so much to do in a day hence starting her day with something positive was the best option. After a long emotional conversation she had with Pedro which only happened one-sided, Pedro was a cold-hearted man. He didn't give a damn about anything she said. The man didn't even shed a tear when she was being all emotional. In such cases, any man would act like a gentleman because men hated seeing women cry however the man was the complete opposite"Good morning" I greeted the lady I found in the kitchen and she smiled and bowed a little. I didn't like such things. Especially the way these servants treated me like I was a big deal"Do you need anything Ms' 'the lady asked me a little shyly. Of course, I didn't need anything. I could walk on my own and get whatever I wanted"Nope...just a bottle of water and an apple," I said walking towards the refrigerator. A good diet with some
“How come…she never mentioned you?” Sydney asked, looking at Olivia distrustfully. Of course, Olivia had no other excuse to give to her dear friend. She never knew that Sydney was indeed her true friend. She was risking everything to prove her family was murdered by the Garcias. As much as she wanted to keep her identity from her. She felt terrible.“We only met a few times when I left the country…I just came back recently…” Olivia said with much thinking. It was a plain lie she was telling Sydney, unfortunately there was no other way to make her less skeptical. “I was calling her, but her phone was unreachable, so I…I came here,” Olivia added, swallowing hard. After they met at her house. She and Sydney found somewhere to sit since the place was now a restricted area. The police didn't allow anyone around the old Altamirano mansion. “Well, she's no more… everything happened so fast…” Sydney said, and Olivia saw how Sydney was fiddling angrily with her hands. Sydney's resentment was j
As expected Antonia still paraded herself as the queen of the century. She was so full of herself and seeing her after a year. The urge to strangle her rushed through me. I didn't know where this woman got her courage from "I called you here to see the woman my children have been talking about," Antonia said in a calm, bossy way, waving her smooth clean hand in the air as she said her words. I didn't smile nor show her any courtesy. The woman and her children were nothing but a family of killers. I wonder what her heart was made out of for her to be so bitter and cold without any remorse for what they did to an innocent family"My eldest son seems so fond of you" the woman added looking at me with a sharp gaze as if she was trying to see right through me"I'm Mr. Ramirez's employee...I'm afraid your family doesn't concern me" I said looking straight at her. If her precious son was intrigued by me. What did it matter"Young lady...do you know that my son is a married man?" she said, p
