All Chapters of The Hating Games : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“What are you waiting for, Miss? Hurry up and blow my head off so I don’t have to wait too long.”I bit my lip upon hearing the low voice that challenged me back. Its owner, a tall and burly young man, looked at me with a disdainful gaze from the first floor.“If you are not sure about your decision, move aside quickly. I have to meet Don Moretti immediately.”Enzo walked up the stairs one by one, his eyes staring straight at the muzzle of the silver revolver pointed directly between his eyes.“Do you think I don’t dare?” I retorted with a trembling voice.“M-Miss,” whispered the maid beside me. “Don Moretti will surely be very angry if you kill his trusted man.”“Shut up, Maria! I’m Papa’s beloved youngest daughter. He won’t get angry just because of a useless person like him!” I snapped.Maria’s courage seemed to immediately shrink, and she took two steps back so I would not direct my anger at her.“To me, you’re nothing but a traitorous dog who came crawling and begging for a new m

My eyes widened, but my mouth immediately smiled. “Why did you come? Is your business with Papa finished?”Enzo chuckled. “It just finished and I rushed here. I’m sure you’re still restless because of what happened earlier.”“Restless? That understates far too much what I’m feeling,” I replied in a sulky voice. I took the pistol from Enzo’s hand; it seemed Maria had forgotten to put it back in its usual place when she brought me tea earlier.“That careless girl,” I grumbled.“You really are careless. How could you sleep without closing the window,” Enzo cut in. Even though I felt he knew I was complaining about Maria.“Who would dare enter the second floor of a house surrounded by so many guards like this?” I answered quickly. “Only you usually come in like an intruder.”“Then why were you startled earlier?” Enzo lifted my chin, smiling crookedly so that my eyes were fixed on him.Before I could answer, Enzo already silenced my lips with a kiss full of desire. His tongue slipped in wi

After finishing my business with Enzo, I cleaned the remaining blood from my hands and changed my clothes. The rest was simply doing my boring daily activities.Unlike my two older brothers, who were free to have fun out there, I was confined inside the house for a full 24 hours. Unless there was an important party that required my presence, only then would Papa allow me to leave the house.It seemed that he had almost gone crazy after Mama ran away and left him more than a decade ago. So what he was doing now was building a golden cage for me and letting me rot inside it until I grew old.Not only that, Papa had become crueler toward every woman he encountered. Even in this house, there was only one female servant, Maria, who was allowed to work and serve me.The rest were men. The same went for the housekeepers and the cooks.When I was little, I often whined and asked to play in the garden or go to the mall like I saw on television, but Papa always firmly refused.Instead, Papa bou

The executioner handed over a thick black leather whip. The tip of the whip had small knots lined with thin shards of metal. A tool designed not just to strike, but to tear flesh from the bone.“Papa, don't! Please!” I bowed low on the dirty floor, begging with all the remaining pride I had left. “Just kill me! Just destroy me! Not him, Papa! I promise I will do whatever Papa asks. I will marry anyone! But please let him go!”“Marry?” Papa laughed, a hollow laugh that echoed terrifyingly. “Oh, you will certainly marry, Selena. But tonight, you must learn what punishment traitors receive.”Papa raised his hand.CRACK!The lash of the whip cut through the air, followed by the sound of tearing fabric and flesh.Enzo's body jerked violently forward, then was pulled back by the chains. A long, deep red line was instantly printed on his broad chest.Blood spurted out, a few drops splashing onto my face. It smelled metallic and felt hot on my cheek.I screamed with all my strength, covering

The guard holding me finally released his grip. I fell limp onto the floor. There was no more strength left in my legs. There were no more tears left to shed.I stared at the lifeless body hanging from the chains. Enzo, my protector. Enzo, my first love. Enzo, the only reason I could still smile inside this golden cage called the Moretti Family. Everything had been stolen from me tonight. Murdered right in front of my eyes by my own biological father."Put his body into a bag and add heavy weights," Papa ordered, his voice sounding faint as if coming from underwater. "It's storming tonight. Take him to Black Cliff and throw his corpse into the sea. I don't want any remains of this dog on my land.""Yes, Don," the guards replied in unison.They began lowering Enzo's body from the chains. The sound of clashing iron sounded heartbreaking, followed by the soft thud of that lifeless body being laid onto the floor.I wanted to scream. I wanted to kill them all. I wanted to take the hammer o
