Chapter 15"Ma'am." She turned just as she reached the door and sighed.It was Lisa."Hi." Ralda feigned a smile.She was tired to even smile. "Good day Maa..""It's Ralda." She corrected, walking into the Mansion as she took the stairs to her room.She felt sticky and had to change. The dress was itchy and she felt like diving into something cool and warm.This would be the best time to use that tub.The only thing and the only friend she had made now was the tub.That was her best friend.She walked up the stairs to her room, no..not her room, the room she was given and opened it.So many gifts were still on the floor, shoes, bags, jewelries. She still didn't understand why he had given her all these."I brought so many dishes for you ma'am." Lisa walked in with a trolley and this was the first time Ralda was thankful that she had a personal maid.She was so hungry, and her heart was burning.She was so scared. Scares that she would wake up one day and Chelsea would be dead or one
Chapter 16"You can't kill me." The words slipped out of her mouth, and she blinked.Did she really say that? No, that wasn't her.Was it because she saw him kill someone?"What did you say?" He glared and she stood up slowly.Her legs shaking as she did."Are you deaf?" He half yelled.She didn't even know the kind of confidence that was seeping into her body.It was one she had never felt before, as if she could do whatever she wanted to and get away with it."Why?" She raised her brows."I'm not deaf, neither I'm I dumb. I just hate it when someone tries to control me." She hipcupped again.She didn't want to be there. Her sister was suffering wherever she was.Chelsea was not just any kind of child. She was so small me fragile."Don't test my patience belissima." He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards himself."Why? Is your patience as thin as a needle. Don't tell me the almighty killer is not patient enough..."He grabbed her neck, pressing hard that she was choking."Leave...
Chapter 17Brian smiled.He was wrong. He was so wrong. He didn't play games, neither was he a saint. He grew up the hard way and made sure men and women respected that.Before he had given Peter Maxwell his money to squander, he had done a background check on him.Runaway wife, two children. One daughter was Twenty one and they other was Nine.He didn't care about his kids, he needed his money.Months went by and so did a month and the fucker was not back with his money.He didn't do charity, and he was never a saint.Running his hand through the background check, he smiled when his eyes caught the girl again.Earlier the year before he had gone to Russia to visit his Uncle Shen, he discovered a secret.To get his entire empire. To make the Russian and the Spanish Mafia under his legs, he had to get married.And that was one thing he never saw himself doing.Marrying a good for nothing woman, that would inturn betray him was not something he was looking up to.He didn't do love, nei
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
