CLARA'S POV“Okay, I have a plan.” ma'am Irene said.“What plan ma'am Irene??” I asked in confusion.“you are going to stay at my house and with my children for a couple of days and you don't have to worry about my children….most of them are your age range so you won't have a problem associating with them.”“Your house??? I don't think that is a good idea at all ma'am.”“Why not dear???”“Sir will never allow me to leave this house and the last thing I want is getting into trouble with him.”“Renio won't do anything Clara….I will handle him if that's what you are worried about.”“But ma'am, I still don't feel comfortable with that idea.”The truth was that I wanted to leave the house so badly so I could clear my head but doing it without Arsenio's knowledge was like digging up my own grave.“Clara, trust me when I tell you that I will handle Renio….I'll call my son to come pick you up now so are you ready??”“Can I ask a question ma'am??”“Of course dear.”“How many children do you ha
CLARA'S POV“It is a long story Clara and I will tell you everything later on but just know that if I have a chance to hurt that bastard you call your boss the way he did to my Mother some years ago, I would do it without thinking twice about it.” “You can hurt Arsenio???” I asked as I Chuckled softly.“Why are you laughing??? He isn't a god is he??? As long as he is a human like you and I and has blood running through his veins then why can't he get hurt???”It's either Alonzo didn't fully understand the kind of person Arsenio was or his boldness was on another level outside of earth.“Alright then, I believe you.” I said smiling.“Your mouth says one thing but your facial expression says another.” “Really??? I don't think that's the case Alonzo.” I said.“You know what I like???” He asked.“What???”“It's the way my name rolls out of your mouth Clara…it sounds so sexy in my ears.”I blushed so hard that I felt like my face was going to burst.“You aren't going to say anything beau
ARSENIO'S POV“To fucking get her back!!!”“Renio!!!! You aren't going anywhere and especially not bringing her back here until she wants to come back.” Irene said.I suddenly burst into laughter.“I respect you Irene but you need to know your limits…..I brought Clara into this house and I can do with her whatever I please and neither you nor any other person can do anything about it.”“Renio, please just let her stay for a few days and she will be back….Please I beg of you.”“What is your deal Irene??? Why are you pleading on Clara's behalf???!!! It is beginning to piss me off.” I said.“I really don't know what you have against Clara Renio but please give her some breathing space….you told me when she came here that she was an assistant housekeeper and not a slave and as such she is free to some extent to leave the house and have fun.”“Isabella told me someone came to pick her up…who was that??” I asked.I noticed Irene became awfully quiet."Who the fuck was it Irene??!!!"“It was
CLARA'S POV“The answer is Yes, I have developed feelings for Alonzo, sir.” I blurted out.The truth was that I had no idea if what came out of my mouth was the right thing but I was honestly sick and tired of Arsenio's behavior.I had no feelings for Alonzo because it would be absurd to catch feelings for someone I only spent a few hours with and besides, I didn't know Alonzo so well but I did enjoy every moment I spent with him.Arsenio abruptly stopped the car as he tightened his fist on the steering wheel.He turned his head towards me slowly and gave me a deadly glare.“What the fuck did you just say??”“I said I have feelings for him….Sir.”“Repeat that one more time Clara....I dare you.”Arsenio threatened.“Why are you threatening me sir??? You asked me a question and I answered.” I said.“You call that an answer!!!! Don't fucking dare me Clara!!!”“With all due respect sir what can you do???” I asked.I was done with Arsenio's attitude and threats and at that moment I was read
CLARA'S POV“Then have me Arsenio.” I said in almost a whisper.I could tell Arsenio was confused about what he felt for me and something told me deep down that he had feelings for me stacked up somewhere. I also felt like if I gave myself to him, he would open up about his feelings and treat me better.“No, not like this!!! You are saying it like you are being forced to.” Arsenio said.I walked slowly towards him and gazed intensely at him.“I am yours Arsenio, you can have me.” I reaffirmed.Arsenio suddenly wrapped his hands around my face and crashed his lips on mine.WARNING (mature content)It was a slow and needy kiss as our lips moved in sync with each other.His breath smelt like fresh mint as he bit my bottom lip softy, I gasped and he took advantage of the opportunity to shove his tongue inside my mouth.As our tongues fought for dominance, I moaned softly as Arsenio wrapped his hand around my waist pulling me closer to him.I wrapped my hands around his shoulder as I ran
ARSENIO'S POVClara fell asleep almost as soon as I told her to get some rest and I Chuckled softly because of how cute she was.My eyes racked through her body and suddenly landed on the sheets and it was a bit stained with little droplets of blood and I bit my lips awkwardly.I stood up and went to the bathroom and ran a warm bath and as soon as I was done, I carried Clara bridal style and took her into the bathroom as she snuggled closer into my arms.She was indeed a deep sleeper especially when she was exhausted.I carefully ran her a bath to prevent from waking up and as soon as I did she moaned softly, making me instantly turned on and I wanted to be inside of her again.After I was done running her a bath, I carried her and carefully placed her on the sofa while I changed the sheets.As soon as I was done, I took her to the bed and covered her up.I also ran myself a bath and decided to order some food before she woke up because I knew she would be starving.I've been with a w
ARSENIO'S POV“Boss, Elijah just informed me that he has found Clara's Mother.” Sergio said.I looked around to make sure Clara wasn't out of the bathroom yet.“What??? How???” I asked Sergio.“I have no idea boss but I got a call from him telling me he found her whereabouts and that his work was done.”“What work is fucking done???!!! That bastard shouldn't test my patience!!!”“But on the contrary boss, isn't his work done?? He has found Clara's Mother's whereabouts and it is now left to us to take it up from there.” “I have a feeling that that bastard is lying….let me give him a call now, I will get back to you.” I said to Sergio as I hung up the call.To prevent Clara from hearing my conversation with Elijah, I walked out of the room and went downstairs.I dialed Elijah's number but he didn't pick up the first time and so I dialed again.“Why are you calling me Arsenio, I thought I already gave Sergio a message to pass across to you??” Elijah said as he picked the call.“Sei fott
ARSENIO'S POV“I am not letting go of you Arsenio so do your worst.” Clara said as I sent her a deadly glare.I didn't understand what Clara's problem was but I was not in the mood for her childish tantrums.I pushed her away as she stumbled slightly and as she was about to revolt, we heard the sounds of gunshots as Clara covered her ears and bent down in fear.“Stay here and don't fucking leave!!!!” I yelled as I walked out of the room.WARNING (violence and graphic scene)I carefully snuck around the hallway and headed downstairs and I could see one of them peeping through the living room as I pointed the gun at him and blew his head as blood splattered all over the floor.I noticed there were more than two men who came to assassinate me but I wasn't scared as I was already used to it.I quietly climbed down from the stairs and headed to the balcony as I sighted another one close to my patio.I shot at him but I missed him by just a few inches as he shot back while I dodged the bull
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
ARSENIO'S POV“She worked for Don Rio.” “What?!!”“Yes, she worked for Don for so many years and if there is anyone who can give you information about Don, it is her.” Rocco said.“I find this very hard to believe, Rocco.” I said.“Why is that??”“Because Don doesn't let people who have worked for him go easily…most of them are killed by him.” I said.“From the information I got, she was his favorite and didn't want to kill her so he married her off to a foreigner.”“Well, that's more like Don but I still don't believe it.” I said.“What then are we going to do with the lady?? If you don't want her or even find her useful, then it's best we send her back or give her to another buyer.” Rocco said.I kept mute as I thought deeply about what to do.“Fuck!!!” I exclaimed loudly.“What is it??”“I will buy her.” I said.“Okay, it's settled..send the money to me and you have her but remember to be careful..we have no idea what must have transpired between Don and her for him to go as far a
