The Horrific Tragedy! My legs were starting to grow weary of running but I was too scared to stop. I also felt a sting of regret about not being able to snatch something out of the fridge while I had the chance. My stomach growled in response while my memory flashed back to the fat Sausage roll I nearly grabbed out of the fridge before I realized my golden opportunity. My itchy outfit choice I found tolerable a while back wasn't as tolerable anymore and since my top was so short that it couldn't meet the band of my pants, I had to hold my hand over my exposed belly to block the harsh breeze from making any further impact. I swear I could hear voices all around me and In my
Adriano's P O VDawn soon fell upon us and I didn't give a care in the world to my sunken eyes and evident eye bags. Getting to the root of what had been in my mind the entire night was the only thing that mattered to me and that was evident in my heavy steps down the stairs. I was so eager to get to the root of the matter that I didn't even pause to greet Jaselle's door with a single glance like I did every morning while on my way down the stairs and in no time, I was out the house and I was greeted by a number of my men that I wasn't exactly interested in at the moment. Where the hell is Gustavo??? He should have been here waiting for me as planned!I started to itch with annoyance as it occurred to me that Gustavo's pace wasn't in any way matching the urgency to get down to the Grill and hold whosoever I happen to meet there at a chokehold. "John is it?" I questioned mindlessly to the next man that walked past me with a curt bow and his immediate response was a firm Nod. "Go f
Adriano's P O VI had always watched the sunrise almost every day for many years because it's like when I go to sleep, I'm never really asleep but just there in bed, switched off mind and eyes wide open through out the dark hours of the night and so watching the sunrise wasn't anything special to me as it had become a normal thing but this morning was different. I spent the remaining hours of the night longing for daylight after my session with the prisoners I had thrown in the cell. After two hours of grilling and torture, the youngest and clearly the most inexperienced of them all chose the smart option which was to give me the information I needed to hear. The others gasped at his betrayal and gave him looks that meant he was choosing the wrong path but the young lad obviously had his mind made up because he paid their silent reproach no attention and yet swore to speak the truth. I didn't want the judgemental glares from his accomplices cause him to withold any necessary piece
Adriano's P O VThe sneak attack wasn't expected as we weren't given a prior warning nor hint. I mean, that's why it's called a sneak attack am I right? But something about the whole thing made me feel full of myself once again. It was beginning to get too idle around here these past many days and then, boom! just like that I get some action thrown my way without even asking for it. I was mostly thrilled when the man with the one wounded knee before me started to prove stubborn in his attempt at hoarding information I would be more than thrilled to extract from his insides if I have to. I mean, where's the fun if he tells me right away? That's the thing with blabbermouths, they are such a killJoy. My phone started to buzz again in the pocket of my pants and I didn't need to glance at it to figure out who was calling. "Yes Carlo, Hit me" I answered into the phone after the second ring. "We have the mansion surrounded and I have looked around, it seems no one got anywhere near her
Adriano's P O V.The heavy and bitter taste of regret lingered in my throat the entire afternoon and all I did was brush through my hair in frustration with my fingers as I paced about my office unsure of how best to eliminate the strong emotion. I really shouldn't feel this way. She called it upon herself when she dared to slap me. Not a soul has ever had the effrontery nor the nerve to even so much as think about it. Yet, she did it without hesitation. I should be pissed! I should have her severely punished! but whenever I feel anger stirring up inside of me, I get reminded of the weak look in her eyes when I gripped her throat. Her eyes silently pleaded for mercy but I was too adamant to listen and now it haunts me. I convinced myself if she didn't have my wife's face, I wouldn't feel a bit remorse. Not even in the slightest. Thanks to that face of hers, she gets away with a lot of things around here. "Boss?" I heard a voice call from right inside my office and my head sn
Jaselle's P O V.While I was expecting he apologizes to me and promise to set me on the next plane home, I never realized how dangerously close to each other we both were. So close that whenever I drew in a breathe, it was clouded with his intoxicating scent. In all my days of hating him, I never expected us to be in such a position after having our very first simple conversation that didn't involve hate and disgust amongst all other explosive emotions that were very much mutual. He still remained silent and I had no idea what was going on in his head neither could I stop my eyes from looking at his side view like a creep. At least the first time, I was trying to be discreet about it. But right now, I'm fully staring! His jet black hair seemed to be as soft as wet wool and the way it curled all over his head was an interesting sight to behold. Girl, how have I never paid this much attention to him before now??"Maybe because it's because you've only ever wanted to smack him in t
Jaselle's P O VBack in my room, Silent and frozen in place, I stared blankly into the emptiness of the wall before me like a deer caught in the headlights. I couldn't manage a speech nor move towards my bed that magically didn't look as disorganized as it was before I left the room a little while back but I soon snapped out from it all and regained my full consciousness when I heard The toilet flush.Who could be in there?I couldn't help but feel extremely frightened only just from the thought that it could be Adriano. I knew he couldn't possibly be in there but the thought of it alone sent cold chills down my spine.Chills that adviced me to flee before he emerges out from behind that door but I remained rooted to my spot like a helpless little tree Stuck in the ground. The little happy feet I could hear emerging from behind the closed door was another thing to Clearly tell me it couldn't possibly be him but I still remained in my frightened and sweaty state till Alessia appeare
Jaselle's P O VI could never understand his reaction nor forgive his outburst back there. I felt like a kid being scolded at, and all of that for what? One stupid empty glass?I hate him.so much!He made me feel terrible back there and I shouldn't really be surprised because that's what monsters like him do. Time ticked by and My annoyance should have left me by now but instead, it caused a strong feeling in me that caused me to tear up and when I got overwhelmed by it, I buried my face in my pillow and let out those muffled sobs while my pillow absorbed the salty wetness that flowed freely out of my eyes. Exhaustion doesn't seem like a suitable word to describe how I feel. I was more than exhausted of everything and most especially, this shitty life I am compelled to live without a choice. I cried my eyes out the entire afternoon and in that same position face down on my bed, I drifted off to sleep and didn't move an inch till what felt to be several hours later. Although it
Adriano's P O VI wasn't in any way comfortable with the dealings and proceedings from my club on the southern part of the continent. Not only were there several loop holes in the monthly reports, I couldn't tolerate anyone trying to outsmart me. Especially not a road side cunt that didn't hold as much significance as the extra button on the sleeve of my least favorite shirt. On the first day of the week, I decided to pay him an unexpected visit and the horror in his eyes when he saw me was so satisfying that I wished I could have that moment on replay. He looked so terrified of me as he should and that was all it took to confirm his wrong doings.One thing I've discovered from the nature of my dealings is this one fact; The guilty are always afraid. And as for me, I could smell fear even from a mile away.I was accompanied by Gustavo and two other men and left Carlo in charge of my household and the day after our arrival, I decided to pay the Cunt a little surprise visit in his sm
