Prologue

I am listening to his continued nagging. I rolled my eyes and lean on the sofa. "How will I explain to Livv that you almost got killed!" Henry, my cousin said as he strokes his hair pacing back and forth. I chuckled at his hysteric nagging and looked at my bruises which I got from disobeying his command. "It's a clear order, Roanna I just said don't leave my sight and behave but what did you do? You got distracted by just seeing a stray cat!" He added, probably not amaze on what's the reason why I nearly got killed by those men who chased me after they've seen my face. "Hey! The cat is out of here! She's adorable and I want to adopt her." I dearly said as I stared at the cat who is now sleeping on the bed. He palmed his face after hearing me saying my ridiculous excuse. "You better get ready, Livv is coming home any minute now you'd better explain yourself to him. God! My neck hurts." He said as he l

1. Dilemma

I heard the muffled voices from the hallway I furrowed my eyebrows, slightly intrigued by the commotion that was happening, I walked to where the voices came from and saw the maids murmuring, I cleared my throat to stop their gossips and they instantly look at me with wide eyes, shocked to see me standing behind them. "What's the problem here?" I asked them slightly demanding them for answers. I saw how their face paled, my eyebrows furrowed more when I realized that they will never give me the answers. "Well, Senorita, Don Marcus, and Senorita Elloisa were arguing earlier and we saw Don Marcus slapped Senorita Elloisa in the face he told Senorita not to meddle with his decisions." Explained Caroline, the head maid of the mansion. "Where is my mother?" I asked them, they told me that my mother ran to their room. I quickly turned away and walked to their room, I fastened my phase to reach their room. When I got near

2. Corro Galvez

I remain standing there, unmoving. What happened was not sinking in my mind. I stare at the window, bloodshot eyes and dried tears on my face I gasped as I was trying to think of any way on how to escape this place even the low possibility of survival. I blinked twice as bring my hands to my face, wiping the tears I then palmed my head trying to clear any thoughts. "Lady Roana, Senorito Corro said that I should assist you on your needs," Said the maid at the door, she then knocked waiting for my response but then I kept my mouth shut, not even a word escaped my mouth it may rude but I don't want to deal with this place. I heard the rumbles of keys seconds later the door opened and then the maid came in. My stares never leave the window I just keep on staring blankly at the outside. "Lady, Roana are you okay?" The maid asked. I remained silent I can hear her footsteps around the room doing things that her master ordered h

3. Lady Mina

Days had passed, I am still trapped inside Corro's mansion. Cold breeze enveloped my face I smiled and look at the people from where I was standing. They are busy with Corro's winter ball as the maid called it, every year Corro hosts a party wherein all mafia leaders may be rivals or allied will joined to celebrate peace and unity. I hold the scarf tighter as I gasp for fresh cold air. I can hear footsteps walking near to where I was standing. "I wonder why you never jump off to run away from here," he asks then smirk and leans on the balcony railing, one step away from me. "Even if I run away I'll be taken back here anyway so what's the point?" I said, in a matter-of-fact tone. "Who are you, Corro Galvez?" I said as I stare at his face. He then looks at me with his serious face, his eyes scan my face, and stop at my eyes, piercing my soul then seconds later his eyes gaze at my lips

4. Senyora Marideth

It was a good day, I woke up feeling light. Three weeks had passed and it's been good. I still had my nightmares but they were bearable unlike my first week here. The next day, when Corro promised to take me to where my parent's ashes are he drives me to their cemetery and waited for me, I cried my heart out and apologize to my mother. "Lady Roana," The maid called me, I turn my head in her direction. She's carrying two boxes. One looks bigger and the other is a box that as size as a shoebox. "Senorito said that you will wear this tonight at dinner," she said, I then nodded and she gently places the box on the bed and bowed her head after. "Thank you," I said and slowly walks to where the box was placed. I then play my lips with my fingers as staring at it. I gently open the first box my mouth parted as I look at the heels. It was a simple, pointed sandal, and its color was a faded color of peach. I then place the shoes

5. Space and Desires

What happened yesterday night never leave my mind, I can't forget how his kisses ignited the desires of my soul. I shake my head as I feel my cheeks heated just by thinking of what happened. I sighed and look at the book I am reading. "I'll never let you complete me, you may be a part of me but you can't be the answer to the missing piece of me," I read the sentence out loud, I played with the pen I am holding as I grin at the thought of what is written in the book. I thought of something that has been missing inside of me, of myself but never in my mind thinks of someone who might fill in the pieces of me that have been missing for such a long time, not money nor power, love and desire could and should not be the answer, but what is exactly is been missing? "Lady, Roana, are you okay?" Said the maid who's been standing beside me. I nodded my head and glance at my journal. I can't just write things while she's here. I glance at her and smile

6. Under the Sheets

It was an amazing week, as things got cleared all the misunderstanding was gone as we already talked about it."Roana, come here," He said gently with a radiant smile on his face, he reached for my hand and I gladly accepted it, he then places his hand in my waist and kisses the side of my head."I would like you to meet Ms. Kierra Smith, she will be your gown designer from now on," He said as he looks at me and then at Ms. Kierra who is now smiling at us."Nice to meet you, Ms. Kierra," I politely said, she then slightly bowed her head and greeted me back. "It was indeed a pleasure meeting you, Lady Roana," she said and look at me, still smiling. "So, Roana I'll leave you two here if you need anything, I'll be in my office," Corro said, I nodded my head and kiss his cheeks. "Roana Montenegro," She said, with a smirk gone the polite and gentle expression on her face, she then folded her arms in her chest and looks at m

7. Winter Ball

Three weeks had passed and now is the date of the Winter Ball. I look at my gown, it was a bloody red dress, an elegant cut that shows my cleavage daring yet gorgeous it was embroidered with rose petals and an off-shoulder type, ruffled skirt ball gown.Mrs. Leigh didn't disappoint. It was pride and pleasure to wear one of her works. I grinned as I ran my fingers into the dress. I glance at the red mascara placed on the table along with the heels I will wear later."Ms. Roana, we have to get ready" Said Caroline, I nodded, then she walks to the bathtub, it was full of roses petals and it smells amazing. I slowly take off my bathrobes and let them slide on my shoulders and handed them to Caroline, I walk slowly and got into the bathtub and, let myself sink inside. I sigh as I lay down the bathtub enough to reach my neck.I stayed for a couple of minutes and decided to stand up and Caroline handed me new bathrobes. I wear it

8. Cold Blood

Everything was chaos. I can smell the blood from everywhere, I look around and saw that bodies were lying on the floor, cold and dead. I gasp for air trying to process everything. I followed Corro's butler while carrying the shirt and pants in my hands.We reach the master's room and he motioned the opened door after he opened it and handed me the card. It was Corro's key card. I walk inside the room and sigh, my body is aching and I am sweaty because of the gown I am wearing, Corro was still busy commanding his people and tracking down who did it and who is behind the attack that happened on the winter ball. I sat on the bed and slowly laying my back on bed.I still wonder who did it and why did Henry recognize me instantly though no one knows that I am under Corro's hands. I walk to the bathroom and remove my gown then I turned on the

9. Puzzle Pieces

After two days, we decided to go to Boston since I feel a lot better. Morning sickness is enjoying its vacation and I can't even eat properly without puking because of my pregnancy. "Are you okay?" Corro ask. I just nodded and hug myself as I can feel the cold wind envelope my body. "How was the investigation?" I ask him, I turn my head to him and stare at him. He then walks near me and hugs me from behind. "We already bring them to the quarter and making them spill the information but it seems like they are trained to die than to tell," I can sense the frustration in his voice, my brows furrowed as I look at the sea again in front of his mansion. The guards are surrounding the area, and it was tripled since it's too dangerous to let our guards down. I blink twice, thinking of what he said. People from their circle think that loyalty is greater than life. Why do people value loyalty but never
