Chapter 37"Miss Chen." I said, and they woman smiled as she engulfed me into a hug."Aren't you going to ask me anything?" I asked, as she rubbed somethings on my face."Your shoot is about to begin Octavia...be a good girl and smile so I won't have to scold you later." She said and I nodded.I was wearing a beautiful brown short gown and a black leather shoes and a brown beret that had the logo of the Van ders Beanto.Moving over to where I'd take the photoshoot, I gave a smile and sat down on the huge couch present for the shoot.Cameras were clicking here and there, bright lights appearing in my face and I tried to hide the tears that threatened to fall.Few minutes later, we were done with the first shoot and I was asked to go take a rest, so we'd continue later.I nodded, walking to Miss Chen."Why are you crying?" She asked, as I got closer to her."He hurt me...so badly." I cried, and she hugged me tightly.There was no denying the pain that was there. Bennett had hurt me and
Chapter 38OctaviaFive days had passed and I was still getting over Bennett.And like I had said..it was a very difficult job and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it done.I was strolling up and down the streets of Italy with a bowl of ice cream as i admired the beauty of the place.Italy was a beautiful place in deed.I stopped at the little fountain in the middle of the city and sat down as I kept licking my ice cream.Leave it to Bennett to crush my spirit as if it were nothing.My phone chimed and it was Miss Chen.Ha! Thank God! We were done with the shoot for Van ders Beanto and now we were awaiting that of Milano Deramo that was going to be held by the end of the month."Hello Miss Chen.""Where are you Octavia? You're really scaring me little girl. It's only one guy." She mumbled, and I could tell she was ruffling her hair."One guy Octavia, trust me when I say there's more fish in the pond..so don't settle for this one guy." She said."I'm not settling for this one guy
Chapter 39OctaviaI was freaking out so badly as we stepped down from Benjamin's car.I sighed, bracing myself when I found myself in a different mansion. It wasn't the same one we had come before and this was more beautiful.I heaved a deep breath of relief, praying I wouldn't be seeing guns and knives and deaths and blood."You wanna stand there and become a pillar for amusement or come in?" I turned to see Bennett's brother giving me a weird look.I nodded. I didn't want to talk back to this guy. He shot a man dead without thinking twice.'Well, imagine what the man would have done to you as well. He wasn't chasing you to say hi. was he?'"You look lost.""Please don't talk to me." I mumbled calmly and he laughed, turning around and walking closer to me."You do not tell me what to do sweetie. In as much as you're my brother's guest right now baby.. I'm so pissed because of something and I wouldn't like anyone getting on my bad side." He cocked his gun, staring at me and I nodded.
Chapter 40BennettIt hadn't even been up to a few days when she had left and now she was in trouble again?Two things were going to be the death of me.If it wasn't the Mafia, then it was surely going to be Octavia Stiles. The woman who had taken my whole vision.I had never thought I'd be enchanted to a woman but damn! She was one of a kind. She was seducing without even trying to.Her voice, her eyes, her anger, the daring statue... everything."Hey dude." Jace smacked my arm as he took a seat on the couch."Where is Charlotte?" I asked, looking around for the woman who seem to be the fly around Jace."Damn the woman! Jesus Christ! she's a pest. I'm so thankful she decided to leave for New York to go meet her father.. I'm so grateful" Have said, shaking his head as he grabbed the bottle of Daniel Jack on the table and poured some for himself."Where's Benjamin?""Out to get some chick. Said he'd fuck her till she fell numb in his arms. Seems like she owes him something." He said,
Chapter 41OctaviaI could barely stand when I was being taken from the room, but thankfully Benjamin carried me to the room I would be staying.It was a beautiful room, well decorated and designed.I stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom after taking my bath to watch my body. I hated Bennett so badly.He'd left me there for two days. Two good days. Me! Octavia Stiles! Octavia Mondragon...owner of Mondragon Enterprises, a soon to be billionaire who had multi investors at her beck and call but he didn't know that.. he knew me as the small but beautiful Octavia Stiles, one who models for companies!Although I was being fed good food, but I slept on the concrete floor, my whole body felt sore as if I had just survived one grenade attack.I heard the front door of the room opened and I pressed the drain button on the tub to remove the water before walking out of the bathroom, clothed with a Jean baggy trouser and a grey hoodie I had gotten from the shelves.The room was big, very
Chapter 42BennettThe world was a cruel place. Definition not for people like Octavia. She was fragile yet agile. She was confused but I knew just what and how to tick her off.Locking her in the basement was for myself and never because she had slapped me. Although the slap and the pain I'd received from it had never left my brain..."Are you bolting out?" "No.""We're heading to Renee's." Jace said, leaning on the door as he raised his brows."No." I said, more sternly this time and he nodded."You're going to talk about it or..""Scram!" I looked up and he rolled his eyes before, stepping away and slamming the door shut.The door opened again and i looked up, anger visible in my eyes, I was about to take out my gun when my eyes met that of Barry.I smiled and he did too."You wanna take out your gun on me? And do what? Put a bullet into me and regret coming here to tell you a good news." He said and I scoffed, looking away."I thought it was Jace. That fucker needs to learn how t
Chapter 43OctaviaThis wasn't me anymore. Bennett was actually kissing me.His big paws kept my head steady as he kissed the hell out of me. My hands went to kiss him back but I topped.. reality snapping into my brain and I pushed him back.I sighed, my breaths coming so heavy..I thought I'd die.Bennett licked his lips as he watched me."Why? Why did you do it?" I asked.He said nothing."Cause I want to do it again." He said, closing the distance again and kissing me so hard that I melted into him.He pressed me so close to his body that there was no space at all. His cologne filled my nostril and damn! was it so nice.It seemed like he'd just gotten out of the shower, he smelled like lavender and citrus.He lifted me onto the desk and released my lips.I was breathing so hard that I could barely recognize my breathing. My heartbeat was a mess as it flipped whenever his eyes danced back to my lips.His was puffy and pink, so pink..you wouldn't even think he was the devil he was."Y
Chapter 44OctaviaWe stared at each other for ten good minutes before I proceeded to wash my dress.If Bennett was going to watch me wash, then that was his Problem."You're going to a party with me, as my date." Bennett said, climbing the laundry counter as he ate the apple he held."The kiss. The make out. Now a date." I chuckled."Get your head into your pants Bennett Stone L'angelo." I glared at him and he chuckled."I'll rather have my head into that of Bianca's." He said.I froze.The image of him, having his head in between her head came into my head so quickly.Had he stopped yesterday because he didn't want to cheat on Bianca with me?"Are you done? As you can see I'm doing laundry" I said."Just five clothes. You're lazy." He clicked his tongue."Well.. I'm not a jerk like some people who give out their clothes to others to laun and dry." I said, snorting as he came down the laundry counter.Jerk!I switched on the laundry machine, adding some detergent into the water and p
