Sold to Diaz Cartel .Chapter 24 : three simple words to forever destroy me. Couple days pass with Althea unable to move, lying on the bed full of regrets as she is babied by Janina who, all of a sudden, never leaves her side. The older over tends to her every need and sleeps beside her every night, pushing Althea into suffocation. It takes her exactly four days to convince Janina into letting her leave the room and spend the afternoon with Harley, the blonde sheltering herself behind the excuse of needing to hide from Diaz who never misses a day to come wish Althea a good morning and good night.It takes her another four hours of indecision and half whispers to gather enough determination to take a step near the edge of the cliff.“Harley,” starts the blonde. hesitant. “Can I ask about your past?”“No.”“I need to know—““No.”“Harley, please.”“I don’t want to talk about it.”“Tell me about your past.” Althea sits closer to the cook, eyes staring deeply into the other’s. “Tell m
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 25: Born to be owned.“I know exactly what you are going through because I lived through it, for years. Everyday wishing he would kill me and, when he didn’t, wishing I could just die,” confesses Harley. With a deep sigh he dries some of the leftover tears on his face, his eyes now dry. “I can name a million different kinks, positions and punishments because I have experienced them all. Mister Cartel was an experimental man and I his toy.”“What about suicide?” Althea lets the words out easily, just like she would in any other mundane conversations, as if the words didn’t describe the only escape for a tortured soul.“Four times,” answers Harley with a smirk on the lips. “I obviously failed miserably. I was also punished, each time.” Harley rolls his sleeves up, uncovering a series of multiple scars extending through his arms. The scars on his wrists seem erratic, of different sizes and depths, contrasting with the precise scars littering the rest of h
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 26: angel’s trap . Full on high, the mania kicks in, driving Althea into taking a terrible chance to move to Diaz’s room. She tells Jana she is scared of Clyde, using the punch to Lucius as an excuse to leave the room.Diaz, of course, is ecstatic when he hears his Kitten is willingly sleeping in his room again, however, a confused Janina is left behind.Althea decides the best way to keep on with her night strolls is by sleeping in a room where Janina isn’t constantly blocking her from leaving. And, since Diaz is a heavy sleeper, leaving the room becomes almost too easy.--But as always, when things start turning better, as one problem is taken care of, a new one arises.--“We are running low on supplies,” says Harley. He still gives Althea two bright coloured pills as always but shows her the almost empty flower. “I haven’t been able to get a new supplier.”“Can’t you just ask your old one?”“Oh yeah, let me call him with my Ouija, see if he took
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 27: hidden confession of love.. Diaz is his best friend, it always had been like that. So when he was named his right hand, Ronan wasn’t surprised, it was to be expected. Of course, he was willing to protect and do anything for him. The thing is, despite being close, they never developed much of a talking relationship which is why it took him eight months to be able to ask.Since the moment Harley was first sent to the kitchen, Ronan knew exactly what was happening. The men inside the mansion were all pigs, talking and bragging about their ’sessions' with the cook. They would compete on who could come up with the most original position to rape the beautiful black haired or the worst thing they could put him through. It infuriated the hitman to the point he would punch the men randomly, yet, he couldn't do much of anything to help Harley because Diaz had declared open session on the boy.It took him eight months to muster the courage to ask Diaz for
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 28: fear, pain and hope. The pills not only give Althea confidence and courage to start acting against Diaz. Oh no, they give her so much more than that.A clear mind.With a mind unclouded by fear, pain and hope, Althea can finally see how transparent Diaz is. Why it took her so long to be able to read the brunette is beyond her.The older has become an open book for the blonde to read, his emotions and mood changes are still always random but not unexpected, there is always a way to tell.For the past couple days Althea has been observing him like a hawk, realising all the small habits and idiosyncrasies that make up Diaz Cartel. Most of them are useless though, like when the older is truly happy he gets a sweet bunny smile that melts his friends or the habit of tapping his head whenever he is deep in thought trying to solve a problem.They are all useless.Diaz poking his tongue against the inside of his cheek when he is angry or jealous or the way
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 29: brief moment of fake freedom. “Please, please, it was one, just one,” begs Althea with her face still pressed into a sink full of vomit.“Are you sure? Nobody just takes one ‘Angel’s Trap, it doesn’t work. You have to take multiple,” announces Lucius before dragging another wave of gags out of Althea. “I would say the most effective dose is around four and six. Come on, Thea, get the others out.”After four more rounds of pure bile rising up her stomach, Althea just wishes for it to be over. She is sure there is nothing left in her stomach not even bile anymore as she dry heaves after another attack to her throat. Her mouth is full of blood, her head is dizzy and her body hurts from the effort. Even in this situation, the only thing she has in her mind is the lost pill.I swallowed for that pill. What a waste.“Be thankful it was me who found out. I won’t tell Diaz out of pity for your situation but you have to understand. Diaz wants you and it is
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 30: why do we do the things we do? . “Careful there, your love is showing,” warns Lucius. He would never rat on him to Diaz for something as trivial as coming to the gardens but he would find himself in a difficult position if Ronan were to act on that crush everyone knows about.“So is your obsession. If your knuckles get any whiter you’re going to have circulation problems."“Whatever,” says the raven shaking his hands open. “Make me a favour and watch Althea for me, I need to get something from inside.”“Clyde won’t let you in the room, Lucius. We have a meeting later tonight, please don’t make him mad and make my life miserable.”Lucius smiles at him and leaves with a wave.“I’ll try!”. Ronan sits next to Althea on the bench as Harley stands to the side, restlessly looking at the sky.“Just go, Harley. I know you love the gardens,” allows the older. Harley looks at him with stars in his eyes, pulling his hood up once more and running out of the c
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 31: Demons really do have angelic faces.. “Mr. Cartel had no problem with his oldest son killing multiple families and student nor having a sex slave, no. What Mr. Cartel was against was one of his sons loving,” continues Lucius, coming back with a bag full of palettes containing tons of different colours. “Mr. Cartel was very particular when it came to love. He believed it would be the demise of the family and, as paranoid as he was, he raised his sons with no love but discipline which is why when Clyde refused to dominate Janina and declared his love for her, Mr. Cartel disowned him.”“Why did Clyde marry her then? If he knew that was bound to happen.”“Who knows. It all worked out for the better though. We all know Diaz is a better head of the family than Clyde could have ever been,” Lucius confesses bluntly. “Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite funny, how Diaz changed the moment he heard about his brother’s mistake. He has always been st
