CLARA'S POV"Did you have a nice bath Clara??" Arsenio asked with a smirk on his face.I looked at the only means of escape I had which was the door but it was locked."Oh I locked the door sweetheart...just like you did a few days ago and also I sent Irene on an errand and there is no one to save your ass today." He said.I clutched the towel around my body so tight as I gulped in fear."H...h..ho...how....d...did...y..you..get in??" I asked, stuttering."You seem to be forgetting one thing Clara.""What is that???" I asked nervously."This is my house and I have the keys to each and every room here.""What are you going to do to me??" I asked."Oh sweetheart, why are you scared??? Did you do something wrong??"I knew he was messing with me and it would be unwise of me to be petty at the moment."Yes I did sir." I said as I bowed my head."Wow....meraviglioso( wonderful)." He said as he laughed."please, don't hurt me.....I know I wasn't supposed to see what I saw a few days ago and
CLARA'S POVHe had that same look my step siblings gave me…..that look of disgust when I told him I was a virgin.All I ever wanted was someone to accept me even if it's for just a little bit and although I was scared of Arsenio and probably had a little bit of hatred for him after I witnessed him kill someone, he still showed me mercy by not killing me.He gave me shelter and food and made me live better than the way I was living before.I could tell from the way he looked at me that he wanted me and knowing that he did, made me feel excited.I was wanted for the very first time in my life and I was not going to let that opportunity slip through my fingers.Even if it meant giving him everything he wanted, I was ready to do that.I stood up from the floor, cleaned my face and walked into his room.It seemed he just came out of the bathroom because of the towel wrapped around his waist and wet body.“I will call you back, Sergio.” he said as he dropped his phone.“What in the fuck's n
CLARA'S POVI continued my usual activity in the house except going to Arsenio's room to inform him food was ready or serve him his food.When Madam Irene asked me the reason why I didn't want to do that, I simply told her that he asked me to stay away from him which was actually the truth in some way.After madam Irene and I finished cooking, I took my new phone and decided to check it out because since Sergio gave it to me, I haven't had the time to.I unwrapped the pack and was surprised to see it was an iphone.My step siblings had the same but mine was a little bit different because it has three cameras at the back while theirs had two.After switching it on, I flipped it over and checked it round as I smiled because it looked so clean and new but the problem was that I didn't know how to operate it.I walked back to the kitchen.“Madam Irene, do you know how an iphone works??” I asked.She suddenly burst into laughter.“I really don't, my dear….I use an Android because it's much
ARSENIO'S POV“The house is under attack.” I said.“What??? How?? Why??” Clara asked.“Fanculo!!! Sergio, get the guys and come back immediately!!”“Right away boss.”I brought out my gun and could see the fear in Clara's eyes seeing the gun.“What??? It's not something you haven't seen before.” I said, rolling my eyes.“Why is the house under attack sir??” She asked again.“You need not concern yourself about that.” I said.Suddenly the gunshots were heard again and Clara ran and hid in my back.“Where the Fuck is Irene??!!!” I asked.“I don't know sir…she went inside to rest earlier on.”“Irene!!!” I yelled.A few seconds later, she ran towards us.“What is it, Renio??”“Didn't you hear the gunshots???” I asked.“Gunshots?? What gunshots??” She asked in confusion.“Dove eravate (where were you)??” I asked.“Ero in bagno (I was in the bathroom)” she said.“Take Clara and you both should go hide in the safe room until I say otherwise.” I said.“No!!!! What about you??” Clara said.“Th
CLARA'S POV"Do it!!!! Kill me and end my misery!!!!?!!" I yelled in anger and hurt.Suddenly, Arsenio dropped the gun in his hand and held his head as he looked around in confusion.I too was confused because I had never seen him like that before.After holding his head for a while, he suddenly dropped to the ground."Arsenio!!!!" I screamed as I knelt down beside him and shaked him vigorously.I checked my hands and I saw blood and I opened my eyes wide in shock wondering where the blood was coming from.Suddenly, I saw him bleeding from his shoulder and as I carefully observed it, I saw that it looked more like a gunshot wound."Arsenio!!! Please wake up!!! Ma'am Irene!!!!! Somebody help!!!!" I screamed while crying bitterly in fear.Madam Irene, Sergio and Axel rushed in."What happened to him??" Madam Irene asked with a worried look on her face."He was shot...we need to take him to his room." Sergio said with little or no emotions on his face."But what about a hospital??? Can't
CLARA’S POV“What the fuck do you think you are doing??” Arsenio asked as he gazed at me intensely.“Hmm…n…no..noth…nothing.” I said stuttering.I tried getting up from the bed but his grip on my hand prevented me from doing so.“Please let go of me.” I said.“Why are you in my room??? What the fuck happened to me??” he asked.“Just let go of me first and I will explain everything.” I said as he tightened the grip on my hand.He continued his intense gaze at me as he slowly loosened the grip on my hand.“Now talk.” he said.“You passed out….I don’t know if you can remember but you were shot and kept on bleeding a lot and so you passed out and a doctor came over here to take care of you.” I said.“Where is he??” he asked.“Where is who??” I asked in confusion.“The doctor Cretina( dumbass).” “Ohh…he left a while ago and told us that you would be asleep for a while but apparently that doesn’t seem to be the case.” I said.“And Sergio???”“He left for important work and asked me to take
ARSENIO’S POVWARNING!!! MILD RATED CONTENT AHEAD“I want you.” I said to Clara as I gazed intensely at her.The actual truth was that I didn’t feel anything for Clara. I just wanted her innocence and wanted to make her mine and to spoil her into the person I wanted her to be.Ever since she came into my life and my house, there has been something in her that pulls me closer and it was my goal to find out what it was regardless of what it took.“w…what..d..do…y…y..you…mean?? She asked, nervously.“I have seen the way you look at me Clara…I know you want me as much as I want you and I am here to make that desire of yours come to reality.”“That is not true.” she said.I walked closer to her as she walked backwards and just when she had nowhere to walk to anymore, she stopped.“You don’t want me??” I asked.“That is not what I mean sir.”“Then what do you want, Clara?? Or do you want me to make the decision for you??”She was awfully quiet as she gazed at me and bit her lips so tightly
CLARA'S POV“Teach me how to please you.” I said In almost a whisper.Honestly the new found boldness I was beginning to have, I had no idea where it was coming from but I just wanted Arsenio to be pleased with me.“What did you just say??” He asked.I could see the genuine shock on his face and for a moment I thought I had messed up so badly.“I…I…mean…emm…nevermind.” I said as I bit my lips.“Oh no….I heard exactly what you said but I want you to repeat it again.” Arsenio said as he walked closer to me and I noticed his eyes kinda darkened.“Teach me to please you.” I whispered as I bit my lips in shyness.“You want me to teach you how to please me??”“Yes….th…that…is..if you don't mind.” “Oh I definitely don't mind at all Clara but are you sure you can handle it??” “I will try.” I said.“Okay but first you have to tie your hair up in a ponytail.” He said.WARNING ( RATED CONTENT AHEAD)*************“Huh??? but why???” I asked in confusion.“Are you going to do as I have asked or
ARSENIO'S POV Isabella kept on screaming and thrashing as I took her into one of the guest rooms in the house.I threw her roughly in the bed and locked the door while I stalked towards her like a predator.“Wh.. what are you doing Arsenio??" She asked as she stuttered.I could see a tiny hint of fear in her eyes as she moved backwards slowly from the bed.“Why?? Can't I play with you?? This is what you want right??" I asked in a dark low tone."Wh.. what?? No no…I..I.. don't know what you are talking about??" I jumped on the bed as Isabella screamed sharply.“You know we are the only people in this apartment and as a matter of fact, a foreign country and if I kill you here, no one will ever find out about it..not even Sergio." “Y..you.. can't kill me." “Is that a statement or a question because you don't sound confident about it." I said with a smirk."Okay I won't bug you again…I promise to stay off your path until whenever." “It's too late for that princess." I said as I brou
ARSENIO'S POV "Go on a date with me.” I said."Mr??..”"Just call me Arsenio.” I said."Me Arsenio, let go of my hand.”I slowly released her hand from mine as I patiently waited for an answer."Why??” She asked."Why what??”"Why do you want me to go on a date with you??”"Because I like you.” I said."You just met me yesterday for the first time and you like me?? Please I beg of you Mr Arsenio.. I've been working quietly here for so long and have successfully had a peaceful time so please hand over my phone and be on your way.”“If you don't agree to go on a date with me, I will keep your phone to myself and I will probably send messages to every contact on your phone telling them that you are mine." "You have actually gone mad!! I think it's time I called the cops on you because this is getting way out of hand.” "Just agree to one date and all of these will be over.” "I think you have overstayed your welcome here Mr…it's time for you to leave!!” Princess Sophia said as he walke
ARSENIO'S POV I heard a soft knock at the door as I squinted my eyes open.This had to be the best sleep I have had in years.“Who??" “Boss, it's Sergio." “Come in.” I said.Sergio twisted the door knob and opened it and then walked in."Where were you??" “I got an emergency call from my sister here and I apologize that I couldn't let you know before leaving.”"Oh I totally forgot your sister lives in the US with her husband..how is she??” I asked.“Honestly boss..not good at all..I just found out she has been in an abusive marriage with her husband and has kept it bottled up for years..she only told me about it yesterday when she found out I was in the country and coincidentally, her husband also got her killer last night.""What?!!” I exclaimed in anger."Yes boss, that is what happened." “Have you handled the bastard's ass or do you need me to handle it for you??" I asked."It's been handled, boss...the bastard will definitely has learnt his lesson and has realized he messed w
ARSENIO'S POV “That's the problem Arsenio…Sergio left the house a while ago.” Isabella said.“Without my consent??!!" I yelled in anger as I picked up my phone and dialed Sergio's number.Sergio didn't pick up my call and when I dialed it the second time, it was unreachable.“Fuck!!" I cursed out loud.“Well, should I call this fate??" Isabella said with a smile on her face.“Not another fucking word out of you!!" “I really need those lady items Arsenio!! Unless you want me bleeding all over your floor." “Shut up Isabella!!" I knew at that point that I had no choice but to go out with Isabella to get what she wanted because it was somewhat my fault that she didn't bring anything with her.“Let's go." I said as I walked outside and entered the car while Isabella got in also.Suddenly, Clara's phone started ringing again and when I checked the Caller ID, I saw the number saved as “cutie”.I tightened my fist on the steering while gazing intensely at the number without picking it up.
ARSENIO'S POV “If I allow you to drop me off sir, you have to promise never to show your face again.” “What??" “Yes sir..I don't know who you are and it seems you have me mistaken for someone else which I have clearly explained that I am not her….so this is clearly stalking and trust me when I say that if I report you to the necessary authorities here, you could rot in jail.” Clara said as I smiled softly in amazement.I couldn't believe that the person I was standing with was Clara because the personalities differ so much but I knew deep down it was still my Clara.“Okay." I said as I continued smiling.“Okay what??? Why are you smiling?? Did I say something funny??" “Okay I agree to your terms…I will drop you off and I won't show my face to you again.” I said."Thank you." She said.“Let me walk you to the car." I said as she nodded her head in approval.Luckily, I told Sergio to go back home as I was going to drink myself.As soon as we got to where my car was packed, I opened
ARSENIO’S POV“Welcome sir, How may I help you??” Clara said.I gazed intensely at her for a while and she was gazing back at me with a confused expression on my face.“Sir, how may I help you?? Do you want something??” She asked again.“Clara??” I called.She looked around in confusion as soon as I called her name.“Who sir??" She asked with a confused expression on her face.“Clara, drop the act!! I know it's you.” I bit out.“My name is Prisca sir…and if you don't want anything, please kindly move so I can attend to others.” She said.At that point, I was as confused as hell because I didn't know if she was pretending not to know who I was or she was actually the wrong person and not my Clara.“Sir?? Can you hear me??” She said as she waved her hand at me.I looked backwards and could see people waiting to be attended to by her and so I muttered an apology and moved to the side.I watched as she attended to each and everyone of them with a smile on her face and she was completely d
ARSENIO'S POV“Irene you don't need to say anything to her…And as for you Isabella, I have told Sergio to get your plane ticket…let's see if you have the Audacity to say no tomorrow.”“I also have a right to say yes or no, Arsenio….I understand that you paid heftily for me twice but that doesn't mean I don't have a right to my own decisions.“The right to your decisions flew off the window the moment I paid that amount of money for you again!! What? You think I pick my money from trees?? Just because I am always ready to pay whenever you are in trouble doesn't mean I get my money easily!! I let you off the first time Isabella and I am not!! I repeat, I am not letting you off again!! Get out of my room!!”“Arsenio you…”“Irene, fai uscire questa ragazza dalla mia stanza (Irene, get this girl out of my room)” I bit out.“Isabella, I thought I asked you to stay off this off earlier on??” Irene asked Isabella as she walked closer to her.“But Irene, I don't seem to understand why….” Isabe
ARSENIO'S POV“Where is your Clara??” Isabella said as I sent her a deadly glare.“I thought I asked you to get the hell out of here??!!”“What has actually got your panties in a twist, Arsenio?? You spoke to Irene in a calm voice and whenever I ask you a question, you yell at me?? What exactly have I done??”“Isn’t it so obvious that I don’t want you here Isabella??”“Then why pay money to set me free?? You should have left me there!!” Isabella bit out.“What did you just say to me??” I asked.She was the one who pleaded with me to save her and after spending my money to do that, she says I shouldn’t have paid the money for her.“Arsenio, I am sorry…I didn’t mean what I just said…it came out of a place of frustration.”“Irene??!!” I yelled as Isabella gasped in shock.A few minutes later, Irene came running into the room.“What is it Arsenio?? I thought you asked me to get you something to eat??”“Get Isabella out of my sight before I kill her with my bare hands.” “I am still right
ARSENIO’S POVAs soon as I gave Isabella the instructions, I headed upstairs to my room as I sat on the couch.I stood up and poured myself a shot of whiskey as I opened my laptop to access what Ricardo sent for me a while back.Even though it was hopeless because I knew it couldn’t be Clara, I still opened it to give myself the benefit of doubt.As soon as I opened the files and accessed the pictures, I was about to take another shot of whiskey when I suddenly stopped halfway.I checked the pictures over and over again as it was so clear and when I zoomed into the pictures, the person was the exact replica of Clara but the finer and more mature version of her.“This can’t be.” I said to myself as I dropped the glass on my hands and accessed more of the pictures.It was my Clara and for the first time in 5 years I didn’t know how to react to what I saw.I looked at the pictures over and over again and I still couldn’t believe my eyes.I picked up my phone and dialed Ricardo’s number a
