ARSENIO'S POVWARNING!!! (violence, use of strong words and graphic description ahead)“Your half brother, Elijah.”“The fuck do you mean by my half brother Elijah??” I said as I sat up.“It was all his plan and set up from the beginning and even down to the first guy that was killed that said he was from Don, it was Elijah who told him to say that.”My blood boiled in rage as I heard what Sergio had just told me.“What about the attack on my house and the one who shot me???”“It was Elijah as well.” “Where are you right now???” I asked as my rage continued to increase.“I am at the usual abandoned warehouse.” he said.“Wait for me there, I am on my way.” I said as I hung up the call.I angrily walked out of the private room and headed straight to my room.I brought out two of my guns from the drawer where I kept them and stormed out of the room.“Arsenio, where are you going and that too in such haste and anger???” Irene asked as she met me on the hallway going out.“I have importan
ARSENIO'S POVWARNING ( Rated content ahead)***********“Do you want me to take care of you??” she asked seductively.I didn't say anything at first as I kept on looking at her strangely and trying to figure out if I was hallucinating or not."What is the matter??? why do you keep staring at me??" she asked as she winked."Nothing....are you Clara????" I asked, still slurring my words."I can be whoever you want me to be baby....just tell me, do you want me to take very good care of you???"“Anything you want Clara, I have no objections to it.” I said.She licked her lips seductively as she winked at me again.I needed as much privacy as I could at that moment and I couldn't achieve that because Sergio and Richard were standing at the VIP room entrance."Sergio, Richard???" I called.They turned around as quickly as they could.I signaled to them to walk out and to shut the door while they stand outside.They both bowed their heads and did exactly as I asked.“Okay then, why don't yo
CLARA'S POVAfter madam Irene asked me to take care of things in the kitchen, I did exactly as she asked and when I was done, I went back into my room. I brought out my phone and decided to text Arsenio's Mother as per her instructions.“Hello ma'am…it's Clara.” I wrote and sent it to her.I waited patiently for her response and after a few minutes, I got a message notification on my phone.“Okay Clara…thanks for your message dear, I will save your contact now and please make sure no one knows of our communication and not even my son Arsenio.” She wrote.“I won't ma'am.” I texted back.“Alright, I will text you again soon…take care.”“You too.”About an hour later, madam Irene walked into my room with a worried look on her.“What happened madam??? Is everything alright??”“Do you have any idea where Renio is headed??” She asked.I stared at her with a confused expression on my face as I didn't understand anything she was saying.“I don't understand you madam.”“Arsenio stormed out of
ARSENIO'S POV“I love you.” Clara blurted out.I stood still as I looked at her in confusion wondering if she was aware of what she was saying or not.I walked closer to her and stroked her hair softly and at the same time, I had the strongest and strangest urge to kiss her.Taking advantage of her in her vulnerable state was something I didn't want to do and so I gently removed her hand from mine and walked away.As soon as I got back into my own room, I fell asleep right away because I was still feeling a little bit tipsy from the alcohol intake earlier on.The following day, I woke up and decided to find out more about Clara because her nightmare made my curiosity grow.Before calling Sergio to tell me his own information about her, I decided to use my phone to check the activities that have been going on in Clara's phone.Before I gave her the phone, I had it tapped so I could monitor her messages, calls and what goes on without her knowledge.As soon as I logged into the tapping
WRITER'S POVOver at Rafeal and Seraphina's residence, they got into a heated argument.“I really don't understand why you have been so worked up about this Rafeal.” Seraphina said as she rolled her eyes.“It's been weeks since she went missing and you dare ask me why I have been worked up???”“Oh please, it's not like you gave a damn about her so what's your deal now???”“You better be quiet Seraphina!!! You are the reason why she is missing!!!”“Me??? What did I do??? Was I the one who chased her away???” Seraphina asked.“I fucking told you countless times to leave her the Fuck alone but you and your sons never listened to a fucking thing I said.”“Don't use those words on me Rafeal because you won't like my retaliation….if you like her so much why don't you leave as well and go fuck her???!!!”Rafeal suddenly raised his hand and slapped Seraphina hard across her face.“Don't you ever dare raise your filthy hands at me again Rafael....I am warning you." "You are warning me Seraph
CLARA'S POVThe shock I experienced when Arsenio asked me about the conversation with his Mother was equivalent to the shock I had when I found out my Mother was dead.“How??? Why??? How??” Those were the questions that ran through my head.I genuinely became so scared when I noticed Arsenio's rage and I blamed myself for it knowing fully well the bad blood between him and his Mother and still trying to form a relationship with her.My fear went up the notch when Arsenio held my neck as my airways were suddenly blocked.It suddenly brought back memories of how I was being treated when I lived with my Father and it seemed like the torture from everyone and everywhere I went didn't seem to end.“I see through your pretense Clara and very soon, I am going to find out who and what you are….as soon as that happens, you are either going to be dead or fucking outside the street where you belong.” Arsenio said after he let go of my neck while I coughed trying to catch my breath.Hatred and di
ARSENIO'S POVI paced back and forth in the living room restlessly.“Shit!!!!” I yelled in anger as I punched the wall.“Renio, please calm down…let's go and look for her right now and maybe we can see her.” Irene said.“This is all your fucking fault Richard!!!!! Ever since she came into this house, have you seen her going outside before??!!!!”“I am so sorry boss…it is all my fault…I should have alerted you about it.” Richard said.“But did you do or say something to Clara that would make her want to leave??? I ask because she was quite happy a while ago after we prepared a meal together.” Irene asked.I couldn't tell Irene what I did because deep within me, I didn't want to admit I was practically the reason why Clara ran away.“Sergio, let's go and search for her.” I said purposefully ignoring Irene's question.“And as for you Richard, just pray to whatever you serve that I find her and bring her back here safe.” I said as I walked out of the house.Sergio started the car and drov
CLARA'S POVI slowly opened my eyes as I felt a splitting ache inside my head and for some seconds, I couldn't figure out what was going on with or around me.“Oh thank goodness, you are finally awake.” Someone said beside me.I looked on and saw a girl probably my age smiling brightly at me.The splitting ache I felt in my Head came back again worse than the first as I groaned in pain.“Are you okay??” She asked again.“I guess so…who are you???” I asked in confusion.“Oh sorry, where are my manners….I am Aurora.” “Emmm….hello Aurora, I am Clara.” I said, still confused about the whole scenario.“Oh nice to meet you Cara.”“It's Clara and thank you.” I said as I looked around.“For a split second I thought that you were actually dead because you have been unconscious for a long time now.” Aurora said.“Really?? How long???” I asked.“For a few hours….you were even bleeding from your head and had to get treated.” She said.I looked around in confusion again as the whore place smelt w
ARSENIO’S POV“Fuck Clara!! What have you done!!!” I yelled.Clara suddenly burst into laughter.“Why is your face looking so sour??? I just took alcohol and not poison so I would be fine.”“Why are you so fucking stubborn???!!!”“I learnt from the best Arsenio.” “What am I going to fucking do with you??!!”I was a bit worried about Clara drinking the whole glass of scotch at once because I had no idea how her body would react to it since she took it for the first time.“I am fine aren’t I??? There is nothing wrong with me.” Clara said.I knew the content of the drink will be having an effect on her soon but I had no idea what to do and how to control it.A few minutes later, Clara suddenly started laughing uncontrollably.“You look funny.” she said as she pointed at me.“Alright, let’s get you to bed.” I said as I instantly got the memo that Clara was already tipsy.“No, I don’t want to go to bed….I was just….in…bed….for...for…when…was..I..in…bed again??” Clara asked as her speech b
ARSENIO’S POV “Arsenio??” Clara called. “What is it??” “Can you come lay with me??” The truth was that I was still enraged about that bastard son of Irene inflicting such a bruise on Clara. I was so close to ending the trip and going to teach him such a lesson he would never forget in a hurry but for the sake of Clara and her reaction to my own reaction, I decided to keep things calm for after I return back to Italy. I could see her eyes gradually shutting down as I stood up from the couch and laid behind her. “Don’t worry Clara, Alonzo is going to pay bitterly for hurting you.” I said in almost a whisper. Clara snuggled closer to me as I wrapped my arms around her and after a few seconds, I could hear her cute gentle snores while I chuckled softly. I slowly ran my hands through her hair as I got lost deep in my thoughts. “What are you doing to me Clara??” I asked. After I was sure that Clara was deeply asleep, I slid away from her side and walked out of the room
CLARA’S POV“Who the fuck did this to you???!!!!!” Arsenio asked.I looked up at him and could see the rage in his eyes while I tried retracting back my hand.“It’s nothing.” I said.“Don’t fucking play with me Clara!! Who the fuck did this to you?? Was it me???” he asked.“No, it wasn’t you Arsenio and I already told you before that it’s nothing…I mistakenly hit it somewhere when I went out earlier and hence the reason it hurts.”“Do you take me for a fool Clara??” Arsenio asked.I knew deep down Arsenio was definitely not going to accept my fake cooked up story of hurting myself and if I told him it was Alonzo who did it, I had no idea how he would react.I instantly kept mute as I avoided Arsenio’s gaze.“I just asked you a question Clara, answer me.”“What question???” I asked.“Clara!!!!” Arsenio yelled.“What??? I said I hurt myself….why don’t you believe me??”“This doesn't look like a bruise one gets when one hurts him or herself….someone did this to you and you better start
CLARA'S POV“Oh goodness!!!!” I exclaimed in shock.“What's the matter dear??” Ma'am Irene asked as she chuckled softly.“I knew that you were messing with me ma'am.” I said as I began to chuckle too.Ma'am Irene slapping Arsenio had to be the most unrealistic thing I've ever heard and so I assumed she was trying to mess with me by saying that.“Messing with you??? I am not dear.. whatever you heard me just say is the truth.”The smile on my face instantly dropped.“Wait, you are serious ma'am??? You slapped Arsenio??!!”“Yes.”“I don't understand…what exactly happened?? What did he say to you???”Ma'am Irene was never one to act irrationally and that is one quality I knew and loved about her from the moment I knew her and so slapping Arsenio had to come from a place of deep trigger.“Do not concern yourself with that Clara.” She said.“No ma'am….I have to concern myself with it because I know deep down that he said something that hurt you and hence the reason you reacted that way but
CLARA’S POVAt first I was engrossed by the gentleness of his kiss and I had no idea when I kissed him back but then it suddenly occurred to me that I was kissing someone who I felt nothing at all for and that consciousness made me suddenly detach my lips from his.“What’s the matter??” he asked as he had a confused look on his face.“Look, you are a really nice person and twice that I’ve gone out with you, you have made me so happy and have been the most amazing person to me but I don’t want to lead you on because I have feelings for another.” I said.“For Arsenio right??” I bowed my head as I couldn’t say anything.“Does Arsenio treat you right???” he asked.“It doesn’t matter if he does….I know he would change if not now, then later and I am going to help him change.” I said.“Arsenio can never change Clara….why don’t you give me a chance to love you and show you how much I adore you?? I would never hurt you Clara.”“I know Alonzo, trust me but my feelings for Arsenio aren’t weak
CLARA’S POV“Clara, did you see exactly what I was talking to you about??” Ma’am Irene asked as Arsenio left the kitchen with Monalisa.“I don’t know who gave her the audacity to speak to you in such a manner Ma’am.” I said.“It’s always been like that dear…I don’t even mind that anymore…what I am more concerned about is your feelings for Arsenio and how he treats you or will be treating you if you decide to waste your time on him.”“Honestly ma’am, when he asked me to stay away from his room earlier on, I didn’t and what I saw really broke my heart…of all the women in the world and in Italy for Arsenio to have sex with, he chose his ex wife and one he hated the most.”“I am not happy about that too dear and I am definitely not trying to justify his behavior but I am convinced there is a reason behind him doing that.”“I don't even care about that ma’am…I really want to leave this house even if it’s for a while and clear my head but I know Arsenio will never allow it.”“Do you have an
ARSENIO'S POV“What did you just say??”“She went out on a date, Arsenio.” I suddenly burst into laughter.“What's funny??” Irene asked.“Look Irene I know that sometimes you get into the mood of cracking jokes with me but this one is definitely not funny….Clara????!!!!!!” I yelled.“The only one laughing was you Arsenio, I didn't laugh and so, that should tell you that I wasn't joking….Clara went on a date.”“With whose fucking permission???!!!!!”“Mine….and the last time I checked, she's free and of age to make her decisions, love life inclusive so what's the problem???”“She's doesn't have any rights whatever to make any fucking decisions as long as she's here under my roof Irene!!!! Where is Clara???!!”“She's not a slave in this house Arsenio!!!! She went out on a date with my son and if you want to see her, wait for a while and she's be back home.”“Your son???” I asked as I chuckled.“Yes, my son…Is there a problem with that???” Irene asked.I walked closer to where she was st
ARSENIO'S POVAnnoyed and irritated were exactly what I felt when having sex with Monalisa.It was different from the way it was years ago and when she was still my wife.Her moans didn't turn me on but instead turned me completely off and I just wanted it to be over.After I finished my business with her, she laid on the bed breathing deeply with a wide grin on her face.“That was breathtaking, Arsenio.”“If you are done talking, you can put your clothes back on and leave and you have three days to bring Elijah to me and I don't need to tell you what would happen if you fail to do so.”“I’ve heard you Arsenio but before I leave, can I get a bottle of water to drink??? I need to get back a little of my strength.” Monalisa said.“Whatever, get your water and leave.”“Arsenio, I really missed you and I missed this.” She said as she walked closer to me.“Three days, Monalisa.” I said as I walked into the bathroom.I Switched on the shower and as the water ran through my body, I thought a
CLARA'S POVI saw Arsenio having intense sex with his supposed ex wife Monalisa as I hung my mouth wide open in shock.Her moans were so loud that I was sure the next country from ours could hear it.I stood there watching in shock as my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing.Arsenio couldn't have sex with any other person in the whole of Italy except his ex wife and the same woman who brought him pain.Tears rolled down my eyes as I felt both hurt and irritated and I backed away from the door and shut it close.I wiped the tears off my face and slowly walked away and went into the kitchen to help ma'am Irene prepare dinner.“Clara, you are here???” Ma'am Irene asked as she walked into the kitchen.“Yes ma'am, I wanted to start dinner.”“Really??? You look pale..is anything the matter???” “Not at all ma'am…I am just tired and a bit bored hence the reason why I might have this pale look on my face.” I said.There was no way I was going to tell ma'am Irene that I went to Arsenio's ro
