_Micini’s POV_The professor was ripped away from me, his arms around me were replaced by familiar ones, Natalie holding me closer to her.“You're okay now. You're okay." She tries to soothe me as she whispers reassuring words into my ears.I looked at the person that pulled the professor away from me, finding a completely unfamiliar face staring at me.His brown eyes held sympathy and pity as he held down the professor, clearly feeling sorry for me.How was I so stupid? Trusting someone I just met. My stomach churned and before I knew it I had doubled over, emptying my entire stomach contents at my feet. “Are you okay?" The brown eyed guy asked concerned, reaching for me.I instantly backed away to avoid his touch, staring at him with distrust and unhidden disgust.“Don't touch me." I spat, still staring at his outstretched hands.“Micini are you okay?" Natalia asks, her voice laced with concern as she wipes my mouth with her cloth."I'm fine. I'm fine.” I gasped for breath as I tr

I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection, a different person staring back at me.Is this really me?I stared back at the vibrant green eyes feeling both happy and nervous.The dress was a red number — the seductive shade of wine — with a high thigh slits. The back rides low having a crisscross. The sleeveless exquisite dress dips low, forming a V that gorgeously leaves enough cleavage — the whisper of feminity of the woman adorning the dress. It accentuated the curves I didn't know I had, not in a crude way but still looking hot.Matching heels and jewelries adorned me completing my look.I couldn't deny that I thought I look good. And the joy it brought to my heart that after years I could finally look at my reflection and feel pretty. But I was worried about what others would say. Would Saint call me a whore just like Daniel does? Would he think I'm pretty or would he give look at me with the kind of eyes Daniel did. Filled with disgust and lust at the same time. Sh

"You are mine.”For a moment everything else didn't matter and it was only the both of us standing here.He just said I was his. Saint took my side in front of all these people and called me his.The happiness I felt in me threatened to burst out as a smile spread from one cheek to another. “What are you smiling for? Silly girl.” Saint chuckles as he asks me, pulling my cheek with his fingers."Stop. Stop.You'd get his blood on me." I exclaimed slapping his hands away from my face.I touch my face and truly I had Maxwell’s blood on my face.“Let this be a warning to you all." Saint's voice booms out, getting the attention of everyone which was followed with murmurs.“She belongs to me and anyone who touches her next time would be losing more than his hands.” He threatens and I see them all shudder in fear, their eyes on me.Something moves in my peripheral vision and I turn my attention to it.Slowly I lose the smile on my face, the happiness being replaced with terror, and I desper

Santino's POV“Who let you in here?" I asked the person currently sitting in my living room, her legs crossed like she owned the place. “Santino darling, that's no way to say hello to your girlfriend you haven't seen in a while." She says, he red lips curling in a seductive smile."You are nothing to me. Neither a girlfriend nor anything else.” I snarled, my fists folding by my side.How dare she come here after so many years and claim to be my girlfriend?My reaction doesn't faze her, instead the smile on her face widens into something more sinister and I wonder why I ever loved her.“I know you're still angry I left you to be with someone else again. But you always run back into my arms whenever I come back. And I wonder what's different now. Is it because of your new toy?” Her eyes darken when she asks this, her lips still curled in a menacing manner. “Watch your mouth." I growled threateningly, ready to throw her out if she as much as threatens Micini.I know Ciara, and I know s

Luca pulled me down just as the bullet went though the glass, cracking it. My heart jumped into my mouth as screams echos around, people running wild in search for cover. Struck with fear, I keep my head down as my heart beats violently in my chest. Daniel is here.. He is here and he would take me. Luca quickly put the car in reverse, turning the wheels sharply in an attempt for an escape.“Keep your head down." Luca orders, a curse leaving his lips as he pressed down on the gas pedal, driving off.I am surprised when I don't hear more gun shots following us.Why isn't Daniel shooting? I raise my head, looking behind us to see Daniel standing next to his car at a distance, a sinister smile on his face.The previous fear I felt earlier was nothing compared to what I feel now as realization dawned on me. He let us get away on purpose, he could have gotten us but he didn't. He just wants to play with me like he usually does. A dangerous game of cat and mouse. “What in the world di
