Chapter 18After the disastrous dinner, Ralda retired to her room.Her belly was full and her eyes felt dizzy.It was the first time she had eaten to her satisfaction.The dinning table being filled up was disastrous but also..nice.Her room was dark as she walked to the bed.Turning to the bed lamp, she switched on the lights and jerked up with a full force and knocked the lamp down."What... what... What are you doing here?" She asked, blinking as if she wasn't seeing him right there leaning on the wall close to her bed, at the right side where she drops her eye pinkie."I..how did you get in?" She asked again.Ralda was so sure she had locked the room before going out."It's my house. I go anywhere I want to go." He glared and she moved back.Why was he moving closer to her?"There's one thing I hate and you have to know about it. I wouldn't want you to disobey my number one rule bellisima." He began, glaring at her little figure as he moved closer and she scooted to the bed."I di
Chapter 19When Ralda woke up the next morning it was already past Twelve in the afternoon.She stood up and stretched her body. Walking to the bathroom, her eyes widened when she saw her face through the mirror. It was horrible.Her hair was messy, her eyes were puffy, her face was swollen probably due to the cries.She couldn't even sleep well last night, she had been dreaming all sort of things and in all those dreams Chelsea was either cussing her or about to stab her to death.Sighing she washed her face and took her bath.She was hungry, very hungry.She didn't want to leave her room, and let that motherfucker hurt her sister.He had told her not to talk to any of his friends but would she just keep quiet like a dumb person when they were talking to her?Walking to the window, she began to hear noise coming from the other side.Few minutes passed and the hunger was taking over her thinking.She walked to the small table beside the other side of the bed, she picked a pen and a pi
Chapter 20The party had ended and Brian was seated in his office.He flipped over the many files that was gathered on the table.Earlier when he had woken up only to hear the loud music and noise, he wanted nothing but to put Matt six feet under.The fucker had turned his house into a party. A fucking pool party. He had nothing against parties but never his house!He had wanted to stay upstairs and get some work done but the thought that his little Gattino would be out there in a pool party, splashing under water made him go down.He wanted her to disobey him. God! He had wanted to see her there with those ladies so he'd punish her to his heart content.Walking down the stairs after taking his bath, he frowned when he saw her little frame talking to two of the women in bikinis as she grabbed her maid's hand.He had wanted to see what she would actually do to take the maid away but then he had gone down the stairs and made them leave.She couldn't even talk to them but she had the gut
Chapter 21"So are you sure that was the only thing you saw Miss Ralda?" Matt asked.Ralda sighed. The man was a funny mess! Although all he did was flirt around, he was funny.She couldn't even recall what she was doing in her room before she had been dragged out to the pool to drink with him."You don't want to say it?""Are you always like these Mr Matthew?" She asked, chuckling as she recalled what they had been fighting over for the past few minutes.They were talking about some stupid shows and she had bet on Sofia Vergara only for her to lose."You lost, admit it.""I lost but if I were to take another chance, I'll still bet on the woman. I mean who doesn't love Sofia Vergara?" Ralda bursted into another fit of laughter."Well, you sure do." Matt said again, pouring wine into her glass.There was no way she'd be able to drink such an amount of wine. She was no alcoholic."I don't take much wine Mr Matt, and besides why are we even drinking? Got anything to celebrate?'"When did
Chapter 22Turning around to meet the other guy that had arrived that day with Matt, she gave a slight bow."I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were there." She coughed as she scurried away.Going to the multi shelves, she began to pick out novels she would read. Novels she would travel to and come out again.Picking the books and the genre she loved, she walked to the table and took a seat.She had never expected the library to be this huge!Who built this? It was fabulous!Grabbing the first book that had it's name printed boldly on it. She read out loud."Oath Bounded To A Mobster by Evelyn Mba."Turning around, she looked down at the other person that was curled up behind the door of the room reading as if his life depended on it.She had never seen a guy read like that? And it seemed interesting.Flipping the pages open, she began to read."Damn! He did her bad there. She isn't the one at fault. If you want Tim go get him, rather than use her as a collateral!' She yelled, rolling h
Chapter 23"What?"She was still processing the words. It was so hard to process that she stood there looking at him as if he'd spoken a different language she couldn't understand.If words made people crazy, then she was sure those words were making her crazy. She felt like sticking her palm on his face.This was not real, this was all just a sham.He was a kidnapper, a killer, a murderer, a good for nothing stupid, arrogant and foolish jerk!'You came here yourself, you owe him Five whooping million dollars.' My subconsciousness hit again."What do you mean by that?""And what do you think I mean by that?'"That's never going to happen.""It will. It will happen bellisima." He smiled, walking closer to her.Ralda took a step back. This man was surely a devil.How could he mutter those words as if they were so easy.She was going to marry him and become what? The Queen of some Mafia gang?She wasn't interested in money. Hell! She just wanted her little sister and her freedom.They co
Chapter 24"I have never done anything to do you before.""That isn't going to pay me back my money cara. (love)""You should have collected it from my father rather than let the man die. He's so evil, so heartless. He's the reason we're in this shit! If he hadn't taken debts from all over the place...maybe I'd be living a good life and Chelsea would be in school!" Ralda yelled, pouring out all her anger as she knelt to the ground crying her eyes out, not minding the eyes that watched her.Brian hissed. He didn't like family drama. Never had.Everyone had a fucked up family and he wasn't going to watch hers and let that deceive of getting his money back.The money was never important. He never cared for the money but then he wanted a wife and she was going to fulfill that part for him."It's not going to be of marriage, so do not worry." He said, shaking his head as if getting married had never bothered him before."I want to marry out of love!"He stared at her. One minute, two minut
From this chapter...this book will be using first point of view (Pov).Don't worry... you'll understand.Chapter 25EsmeraldaI didn't know everyone would be present in the dinning. I had prepared the lunch for just myself and the chefs and some guards but right now..my eyes held disbelief as I watched my food being distributed to the men of the house.Matt looked like he had fought with a ghost and the other one Jerry looked like he was so lost. Maybe he had been lost in a book before he had been called for dinner. How lovely for a bookworm.And then Brian? They sadistic idiot who wanted nothing but seeing me suffer was seated like the king he was.I took a seat too as Lisa dished out mine as well from the big bowl into my plate."This seems different and rather tasteful." Matt complimented as he took a bite."Did we order new chefs? Thank God for that." Jerry said.That was the longest i had ever heard him speak."Who cooked this? Bring them here." Brian said.I felt Bloor draining
