VALENTINE

How did she find her way into the room?

I got the notice on my device during the meeting with Rossetti.

“Keep the shitty phone down!!!" Rossetti scolded.

I threw him a glare,”I have something to deal with."

I called Marcelo.

“Where are you?"

“On my way to your house boss."

With gritted teeth, “Hurry, She is in the room. Take her away and don't let her set her free."

Marcelo responded and I h

    VALENTINE How did she find her way into the room? I got the notice on my device during the meeting with Rossetti.“Keep the shitty phone down!!!" Rossetti scolded. I threw him a glare,”I have something to deal with." I called Marcelo.“Where are you?" “On my way to your house boss." With gritted teeth, “Hurry, She is in the room. Take her away and don't let her set her free." Marcelo responded and I hung up.“Is there a problem?" Rossetti asked, stroking his chin.“Nothing I can't deal with." He scoffed, “Keeping things from me, huh?" “Why have you called for this meeting?" “We have a deal.." “I'm out," I said with an eye roll.“You know you can't do that. I trust no one on this but you." “Great. Don't you owe me an apology?" I asked, my tone laced with annoyance from the last deal that left a stab on my lower a

    CLEOPATRA I gulped quickly. Saliva ran down the wrong pipe and choked me. I began to cough. His question threw me off guard He held my arm, “Are you okay?" His voice was thick with alarm. I nodded and looked up to him. Every bit of him showed that he was serious. A marriage? With who? Was he marrying me? But to whom?“Are you proposing?" I responded, my brows arched high. The corner of his lips cracked in a smirk. He stepped away from me with his hands on his waist "Propose? Do I need to propose?” I don't understand him."You were talking about marriage so maybe you are proposing marriage to…”"No,” He cut me short."I just wanted to hear your thoughts about having a marriage. How do you want it to be?” He leaned against the metal rails, his handsome orbs trained on me. My lips fell in disappointment."Jerk.” He caught my wrist and reeled me close to him. A sharp gasp left my lips when he pressed my body against his and wrapped his hands around my waist."Say that one

    VALENTINE Her fingers trembled when she placed them against my bleeding side. Her eyes were glossy. "Does it hurt?” She asked, raising her gaze to meet mine. I flashed her a small smile. "Oh God, I'm sorry you have to go through this because of me,” She rendered an apology whilst scuttling away from me. She walked to the window and leaned against the wall sobbing softly. " Cleopatra, don't do this daredevil,” I crooned and walked up behind her, I wrapped my hands around her waist and let my lips descend on her neck. Her body shuddered. I pressed her body against mine. Her smooth round curve gave me a hard on that makes me want to strip her instantly and drive her to the cloud. Her hands held mine and she rubbed them slowly. The slow rhythmic movement made my heart skip a beat. "Let's take a shower,” She turned around facing and staring at me with her round beady eyes. Her lips pursed. I wrapped my hands around her waist and made her straddle me. We walked out of the r

    CLEOPATRA My stomach flipped over. Breathing became arduous. My palms grew sweaty. Slowly, he walked to us with the bloody knife in his hands and his eyes on Aunt. “Please!!!" I called out and knelt before him, shielding Aunt behind me."Take me instead. Let her be, please,” I pleaded with tears pouring out of my eyes."Cleop…" “I will go with you," I chipped in a hard, resolved tone. His smile grew wider. He crouched low before me, “Good girl," He traced the tip of the knife on my face. It wasn't too deep. A light trace. The knife stung terribly. He held my arms and yanked me to my feet.“Cleopatra, don't go with him. Cleo!!!" Aunt cried out loud as he began to lead me out through the exit. When we got out of the house, a sharp exhale escaped my lips. Again, I had lost the tiny freedom I had gained. Again, I was back to being the slave whose body would generate money. Again, I had returned to the shackles I had left. He tried to fetch his car keys when a voic

    CLEOPATRA "Uncle, Who are they?” My voice quivered a little bit. I stared hard at the faces of the men. Uncle remained mute, his body trembling in fear. The men gave way. I lifted my head to see him, dark and evil with a sinister smile playing broadly on his face. “What do we have here?" He exclaimed hoarsely. Old but looked energetic, he bounced to the front. His gaze pierced into me, ripping off whatever courage I had gathered. I dropped to the ground next to my uncle. Valentine was wrong. This man doesn't rest. My chest raced faster than my thoughts. My head banged. Tears blurred my line of vision. Valentine promised to protect me, Where is he now? I should have never believed him. He wasn't capable of saving me from this monster. He inhaled, crouched low to my level and he placed a finger underneath my chin. His mischievous grin coaxed me to look away. Don Rossini. I noticed his hand was missing a finger. My eyes lingered on that missing spot. I guess he traced my

    CLEOPATRA It was quick and unexpected. The knife which I was using to chop onions snapped through my finger. I dropped the knife and moved away from the chop board. Thick crimson spewed out. I placed my hands under the sink and gently washed off the blood. My chest beat hard as though it was trying to rip out of my body. "Cleo?” Aunt scurried in, her eyes widened in alarm when she saw the huge cut on my finger, "What happened to you?" “It's nothing, Aunt," I flashed her a smile. She drew out the first aid kit and began to dab my finger with a cotton soaked in methylated spirit. Hot pain charged through me. I winced softly. She looked at me tenderly, "You have to be careful, child. I don't want to have your blood in my food,” she said teasingly and rubbed my cheek. We shared each other's smile. "Have some rest. I'll take care of the kitchen.” I nodded and dragged my feet to the chair. I sat there and watched my aunt as she cooked. I engaged her in small talks which led t
