NATALIA'S POVCandy quickly shoved me inside a box I hadn't realized was a wardrobe until I was inside. Immediately she banged the wardrobe door shut, I heard Giovanni's screams thunder inside the room, I couldn't resist not creaking the door open, slightly, to watch what was going to happen.“Madonna!” He cursed. “What happened to your faces?!”I couldn't see Candy, Desiree or Jasmine’s faces clearly but I was pretty sure they would be terrified. And I wouldn't judge or blame them for that, I was once a victim after all.“W-we had a little problem w-with…” Desiree stammered out.“With what?!” Giovanni cut in, “huh? What stupid explanation do all three of you have looking like Egyptian mummies?”“T-the makeup, sir Giovanni, the mak–” Jasmine answered, her voice was shaky but then it suddenly trailed off which I assumed was out of fear because Giovanni had started advancing towards her. I felt my blood boil to over a thousand degrees as the thought of Giovanni laying his sick hands on
NATALIA'S POV “Alright alright. I get it, you're a tough one but just hear me out okay? I've got money. Golds. Diamonds. Just name whatever you want and it will be all yours.” “Please Bella mia, come rock me. I'll pay you good. Good good money.” The air around me thundered with the words of horny assed men who probably had girlfriends or wives waiting for them in their respective homes.I was sitted at the bar section, trying my best to ignore their lustful gazes and their empty words which couldn't hold water. All that was etched on my mind was Jasmine's revelation. It kept replaying over and over again in my head. After Candy, Desiree and Jasmine were done wiping the makeup patches off their faces. Candy who had quickly noticed my foul mode afterwards, suggested maybe drinking would help calm my nerves and clear my thoughts.I was hesitant at first but she pressed on, until I finally gave in to her demands. She had escorted me out of the dressing room to the bar and left me minut
LEANDRO'S POV My heart slammed in my chest, my blood roaring straight to my veins. Those fucking bastards had the nerve to touch her, they ripped apart her clothes and was ready to claim what wasn't theirs.I should have done more than break their legs, those pricks deserved a good beating. With knives and guns and….Dammit! So many ideas in my head, all going to go to waste now. It's too late already.A growl escaped me as I lifted her from the backseat of the car. Our ride back to the mansion was a blur but she had fallen fast asleep, her soft breaths fanning against my cold skin.When my eyes dropped to her chest to see it bare, the bra she wore barely concealing her nipples all thanks to those bastards once again, I felt my rage doubling.Groaning, I yanked away the sit covers from inside the car and wrapped it firmly around her body. Four eyes was enough. More would run me mad.As I carried her to her room, memories of the CCTV footage I had seen earlier which was the primary rea
NATALIA'S POVI wasn't so sure what I was doing, but what I did know was that I wanted him just as much as he wanted me. I saw in his eyes, the way he looks at me so ravishingly, like he wanted to tear me apart but was holding back for some reason, his lingering touch on my skin even after he'd pulled away. He's a monster, Natalia. Fight back! My inner self yelled at me, but I was too dazed to listen, too horny to care. And I hated how my body trembled under his touch, how firmly my insides gripped around his fingers as they worked their magic in me. Fuck. I wish I had full control over my body, to tell it who to get horny for and whom not to, but I don't.I fucking don't! And that shit pisses me off.I bit my bottom lip and ran my fingers all over his chest. Hate sex was like nothing else, and my desire for him clearly wasn't going away anytime soon. I'm quite sure I won't be freed anytime soon, so what's the worst that could happen? I might as well make the most of it… right? R
Natalia's POVLooking up, I spotted the silhouette of a lady standing at the entrance of the door with a grin on her lips. "Well, well, well, that was a great show, guys," She ducked her head to the side, flashing Leandro a coy smile. "Hello, brother.""Brother?" I gasped as I noticed the striking resemblance between the two of them the moment she stepped into the room fully. Her sense of fashion was intriguing, she was dressed in a short black corset dress with matching knee-high boots and also had tattoos like Leandro but hers gave off a sense of femininity.With shiny blonde hair sashaying and piercing rings dangling, she strode to where I laid.My cheeks flushed red when she swooped down and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, "Hi, sister-in-law," she grinned at me, her voice dripping with meekness and something I’d rather not conclude to be sarcasm yet, "You must be tired."I scrambled to my feet and threw her a withering gaze, “Nice to meet you, sister-in-law” I replied be
Natalia’s POVBending backward to protect me? My fingers curled on my phone screen as I tried to process her words. I could smell different emotions swirling around her words, from pride to hurt but the most outstanding was rage. pure rage.My face remained calm as I seethed, “I perfectly understand your hatred towards me which I really don't give a fuck about but what exactly do you mean by Leandro bending backward to protect me?”She scoffed, “That's none of your business, all I want from you right now is to get your miserable ass up and get ready,” she snarled at me, arms crossed.“I'll do that but on one condition” I spoke up after a minute of contemplation, “that no matter what happens at this so-called introduction party, you and Leandro would let me have some sort of freedom to talk to whoever I want to.”My plan was simple. It appeared this introduction party or whatever they had going on would definitely reel in the likes of Leandro from all over the city. Who knows? One of
Natalia's pov"See you tomorrow dad." I leaned down and gave my father a gentle kiss on his forehead, his pale skin feeling cool against my lips. His eyes fluttered open, the corners crinkling as he smiled weakly at me. Seeing him so withered and helpless in the stiff hospital bed made my heart clench painfully. "Be safe, my dearest girl," he whispered, his voice a rattling rasp. I squeezed his bony hand lightly, trying to return his smile despite the lump burning in my throat. It's been 6 years since Mom died after an accident and that's when we found out he had stage 4 cancer. "Always dad. I'll spend the night praying for you while on my shift." I responded. Tears stung my eyes as I turned away, not wanting him to see me break down. I couldn't let him know how terrified I was of losing him. I hurried down the stark, overlit corridor, the harsh neon lights exaggerating the hollows under my eyes. The cloying antiseptic smell seemed to cling to my clothes and hair. I needed to ge
Natalia's povWe all turned our heads whipping around to the doorway just to confirm whose voice it was and that's when we saw him. Gio, our selfish and egoistic boss. His cold gaze swept over us appraisingly while his thin combover was slicked back with so much greasy product it looked wet. Speak of the devil. "Alright, that's enough gossiping, ladies," he barked, his trademark rasp somehow cutting through the pumping bass. "Get those tight asses out on the floor. We've got a big whale coming in tonight, and I want my best girls putting on a good show." He spun around and shot me an intense look with a defiant pose that only meant one thing. Fury. “Including you Natalia” he added after he noticed how hesitant I was to put on my mask. Tense silence enveloped us like a mushroom before Gio spoke again. “Don't tell me you won't be working tonight because of that tramp I heard you spill from your mouth minutes ago?” he asked in the iciest tone ever. I breathed deeply before respond
