I saw him stepping down from the stage and walking to the end seats of the auditorium. To make him feel that I wasn’t noticing him, I took out my phone and pretended like I was texting to someone but I didn’t wonder what this act would get me. “What is your name?” I heard the same husky voice emitting near me. I raised my head and found myself so close to me that I had to step back.
“Argh… umm… I’m Jennifer Miller,” I told him, keeping my head low.
“Look me in the eyes when I talk, Miss. Miller,” Said the man named Luciano Bernardi.
I carefully raised my eyes, which seemed to be the hardest thing ever. When our orbs met, I saw a glimmering shade of intense passion mingling in his eyes that made me wonder his intention for a second too but he masked it away and I let it go. “Don’t use your phone again when I’m around you,” his warning felt like it was onl

17LucianoNot a second went by without thinking about her all these weeks. Not a moment came when I could concentrate on my basic interests after the minute I saw my little one at the restaurant. In fact, with each passing time, she’d been growing into my mind like a virus. She’d numbed my senses and all I had been thinking about was being with her. With every breath, my soul yearned for her, missed her and craved for the intense feeling that it felt when our body made contact and longed to touch her, yet I could do nothing other than hold myself back.But not anymore, as I had rooted out a mutual path for my deep desire to keep her under my eyes, yet I would stay away from her. I wanted to be closer but in a way where she wouldn’t notice me around and I finally got the chance.I couldn’t stop myself from doing things that I never thought of doing in my life. I secured a partnership in the university w

18Jennifer“What?” The shock escaped my mouth spit it all over their faces. This group of men looked at me with nothing but blank expressions and I was glaring at them with a questionable glare. How dare they accuse my friend?“Look, mister, don’t you dare to drag my innocent friend into your dirty business, I know him more than you, he can’t do anything like you said,” I rattled out, my index finger towards that mid-man’s face.He was wearing shades. I wasn’t sure if he was even looking at me or anywhere else. He grunted under his breath, his face titled aside, telling me he was having a hard time dealing with me. Yeah, it better be that way because I wasn’t going to let them blackmail an innocent.Before he could reply to me, his hand reached near his ear and it seemed like he was communicating with someone. As I opened my mouth to raise an objection, he spoke bef

19“Oh fuck, no,” she muffled. I couldn’t help my smile, I thought I was the one who curses under her breath all the time but now, I got to know I wasn’t alone.“What happened?” I asked but before she could answer me I heard a woman’s shout outside the car. My body tensed by the way she was shouting and screaming. I was sure she got disturbed by someone’s presence, it could be me but why would she go crazy over me? I didn’t recognise this voice, even though it was a different voice than I ever heard. “Who is this lady screaming?” I questioned again.“I suggest you be prepared for anything ahead of you. When you get out of the car, remember you can witness unpleasant sights but do not be afraid of anyone, I can assure you, no one can or will touch you, okay?” The lady said as I felt her freeing my eyes, hands and legs from the ropes. I sighed peacefully, finally, I would be

Jennifer Luciano Bernardi, the man who had the power to numb me in one finger’s snap. He was standing before my eyes, near the glass window, his hands in his suit-pockets. While there stood his men apart from him, outspread in every corner of this lounge, steady to obey any command given by the man I become terrified of the most. Luciano’s aura was frighteningly aloof and that teased me the most. His eyes expressed nothing. No emotions, just blank there and that was a thing to worry about. I had no clue why I was here. What sin did I do to attain the devil’s attention? His sharp jaw looked like a weapon ready to slaughter the lamb—me. I sighed loudly, my eyes joined with his and God knew from where I got the courage to look straight in those piercing hazel eyes. I mustered up the courage from within to speak my side, “W—Why am I h-here?” These simple words were the most difficult to utter at the moment, it’s like there was nothing

he stated the same sentence as his people. My jaw clenched hearing this, was I some kind of toy for them whom they could fool around easily? And passing days? What did that mean, did this mean they would never let me go? NO! I was not a pet, I was a human who can't be overpowered.“Everyone’s been saying this since the minute they seized me. I mean why did you men kidnap me? Why am I here, for what and for how long? I don’t know you guys and same you don't know a thing about me. We met a few times, okay, that's it! But that was not my mistake.Moreover, you guys look dangerous,I don’t know what you or your people gonna do with me or with my friends, I don't even know where are they and how would your people be treating them!How could you be so calm about it? I’m not someone’s property that they could make a vacation out of me wheneverthey want, I’m human and I can’t be forced into anything. So, I suggest&n

He looked at me, I quivered under his gaze, his calloused finger traced my jaw, “Did that hurt?”Yes, a lot, for your kindest information. I’m not a whore you’re used to. As if his gestures were sweetest of all. “Tell me, have I hurt you?” I watched him turning from an asshole to convincingly concerned.“You should know it better,” I grumbled, my eyes still holding tears but not to forget, I was in front of a guru of killings and manipulation. Ah, the bite still hurt me, I doubted if I didn’t leave a mark. Also, his weight, I wondered what he eats. “Please, can you get off me?” My hand reached to my jaw and as I was about to rub my wound, Luciano took the lead and rubbed his thumb on the affected area, “Ah, ouch,” I hissed, pulling his thumb away, creasing my forehead as pain ripped through my face.“Don’t worry, it’ll go away soon,” his rich voice sent s

JenniferEverything’s testing my patience for life in the last twenty-four hours. It sucked to miss my peaceful sleep for assignments, then Professor Ben for not being able to grade my work and I curse at my decision on meeting Rory and Andrea at the cafeteria. Now, here I was, waking up in someone’s bed hoping he didn’t rape me. Should I open my eyes? Would it be safe to open my eyes? Well, there’s no pain in my lower area. God, I don’t want to wake up next to a shirtless man. I don’t even wanna wake up in his mansion. I wanted to consider it all a nightmare. I would hope it was a nightmare and I can get ready for my class in my personal bedroom.Before I could open my eyes, I heard a door creaking, clueing me of someone’s presence arriving just now. I kept my posture reclining. “Controlla se è sveglia,(Check if she’s awake),” A velvety voice got in my ears, it

“For breakfast, you’ll have breakfast with the family,”“I think you forgot your family isn’t very appreciative of my presence. So, I would like to stay here… until out of here,” I spat out, keeping my angry mouth to myself. It was better to keep a filter over my mouth than to lose my senses and regret it later. If he was tolerating me didn’t mean he would keep on enduring my macho guts.“You can not tell me what I should do or whatnot, come or…” His face hardened, gravity emitting from his posture. It was better I should listen to him than him breaking me into submission. “Don't bring out my vileness, go and change,” he snapped and I flinched visibly.He should’ve learnt how to talk to women. Asshole.I scooted out of the bed, walked to the bathroom that was bigger than my room and the lavishness it held was on another level. I gawked at it for q
