    ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

    Alexander arrived home and went straight to his room to freshen up, soon after freshening up, he came down to the dinner table to see it was empty.

        “Aurora”. he called and his voice echoed in the room, but no response.” Aurora”. he called again and left to her room to see she was not there, he came to the kitchen, but he wasn’t there”.Where the hell did she ran off to”. He wondered and decided to call her cell phone, it rang but no one picked. “Where is she?”. He sighed and walked outside, he called out to the security who ran to answer him.” Where is Aurora? Did she leave this house?”.

       👨✈️”Yes sir, she left an hour ago”. 

         “Where did she say she was going?”.

        👨✈️” I don’t know sir, she was in a hurry when she left”.

         “Is her grandmother sick again?”. He thought and then went back inside. 

        In an unknown building, Aurora was placed on a bed in a room, she began to regain consciousness as she started hearing voices, she opened her eyes slowly and saw two old men standing by the doorstep step chatting with their backs against her. She sat upright on the bed and stared around confusedly, then one of them interrupted her.

        👴” You are awake”.

        They turn to her smiling and she stares confusedly at them.

         “Who are you?”.

        🧔 ” We are your friends”

          “Why am I here?”.

         👴” Well, we brought you here”.

         “What? Why?”. She asked confusedly.

       👴” To have you for a night”.

       They laughed evilly and she stared disgustingly at them.

       🧔”Yes, your boyfriend sold you to us “.

         “Excuse me! What the hell are you talking about?”.

        👴” Exactly what you heard, he sold you to us, believe me when I say I have been admiring your sexy body for a while now”.

         “How disgusting! Charles, we never sold me to two disgusting fellows like you for money”. she said.

        🧔” Don’t be stupid, you think we are lying, we gave him half of the money to make us have you for a night, but unfortunately, our plan didn’t work out because someone came to your rescue, but this time, no one will save you from us”.

        They laughed wickedly and She became scared and wondered why Charles would do this to her.

        ••ALEXANDER’S MANSION••

       Alexander got off the phone with Erica after she told him Aurora’s grandmother was fine and Aurora was not there.

        “Where the heck did she go to? Is she in trouble?”. He sighed tiredly and tried her number once again but it wasn’t going through. ” Did she go to that good-for-nothing boyfriend of hers? She better not test my patience”. He stood up and left for his car, he ordered the security man to open the gate and he drove out heading to the bar.

      Meanwhile, Aurora was thinking of a way to escape from the two old men, even if she was sold as a slave to lay with these two old men, she would rather die, she can’t lose her first time to these two old fools. Although she and Charles had made a promise never to sleep with each other until their wedding night. tears pour out of her eyes as she thinks of what Charles has done, she can’t believe he sold her to two men to penetrate into her because of money 

        👴”We owe you now, come to us”.

         “Don’t come anywhere close to me”. She sobs leaning at the edge of the wall.

        🧔” Come on, we are not going to hurt you, we promise to be gentle with you”.

        “Don’t! You two disgust me, how could you be so heartless, you two are like my father, why do you want to ruin an innocent girl’s life because of your selfish desire”. She said.

     👴”We don’t care, you are not our daughter and we are not your father either, so this makes it more fun and exciting”.

         ” Don’t you dare come close to me, I will scream”.

      🧔”Go ahead, no one will hear you anyway, we are the only three in this place”.

      👴”Now come to us”.

       Aurora stood up from the bed trying to escape from them, the first rushed to bounce on her, she was quick enough to hit him hard on his balls, and he groaned in pain and fell on the floor. The second man was surprised by her actions.

        🧔”You think you are tough”.

       Aurora turned left and caught sight of a lamp and she picked it up quickly.

        “If you come close to me, I will hit you with this”. she threatened and the man laughed.

       🧔” You think that will scare me?”.

        He rushed to her and Aurora used the lamp to hit his face hard, he fell on the floor and passed out bleeding from the face. She saw the men on the floor very weak to move, she rushed to the door, unlocked it, and rushed out 

       Along the driver’s way, Alexander was getting worried about Aurora’s whereabouts, he got to the bar and information got to him that they hadn’t seen her and her boyfriend around.

        “I just hope you are not in trouble”. He took his phone and called his men to search around for her, after a while, he ended the call and increased the speed of his car. 

        Aurora managed to sneak out of the building, but two of the old men escorts caught sight of her, immediately she met eyes with them, and she took to her heels and they chased after her, the other men ran inside to see their boss on the floor, one was in pain and the other laying lifelessly on the floor. Aurora continued to run as fast as her legs could carry her, she was getting weak while the men continued to chase after her, she came out to the road running, and the place was lonely with no cars or people moving around, she continued to use her last strength to run praying for someone to come to her aid, Suddenly she saw a car coming from afar and the two men chasing after her was getting closer.

       Meanwhile, Alexander was driving along the lonely road when he noticed someone running in his direction, he increased the speed of the car, getting closer it was Aurora.

         ” Aurora”. He called happily and continued driving toward her. He saw her fall down on the floor and caught two guys from behind coming toward them. 

       Aurora managed to stand up with her leg bleeding, she saw the car was closer to her, and she waved her hand crying for help. Alexander stopped the car and came down, Aurora was surprised and happy at the same time, she ran into his arms crying uncontrollably and Alexander held her back, his men suddenly arrived with their car and he ordered them to chase the two guys who ran back immediately they saw him.

       “Aurora, are you okay, did they hurt you?”. He asked curiously and noticed she blanked out in his arms.” Aurora!”. She carried her to the car and drove away.

        Alexander finally gets hold of the two guys chasing after Aurora, they direct them to the two old men who sent them, where all of them were held captive and taken away.

    *******

        Alexander brought Aurora back home and took her to his room where he lay her down gently on the bed, he saw her knee bleeding, so he rushed to his wardrobe, brought out his first aid kit, and started treating the wound. After he was done dressing the wound, he moved closer to her and stared lovingly at her.

        “Why do you like getting yourself into trouble?”. he sighed tiredly and then his cell phone rang.” Did you get them?”.He asked on the phone talking to his men. “Good! Castrate those two old fools and dump their bodies in their houses”. He hung up and returned his gaze to Aurora.”They will never bother you again”. He felt her forehead and noticed she was running body temperature.

        He left to the kitchen to get a hand towel and a bowl of warm water, he came back, soaked the towel in the bowl, squeezed it, and placed it on her forehead.

    *********

        The next day, the two old men were castrated and placed in each of their houses with a note attached to their bodies saying

    Note: Our bad deeds have caught up with us.

       The news of them spread around the city and people mocked them.

        ••ALEXANDER’S MANSION••

       Aurora woke up and groaned quietly in pain as she sat upright on the bed staring strangely at the room.

         ” Where am I?”. She questioned confusedly as the memory of the last night flashed through her head.”Oh gosh”.

         “You are awake”. Alexander interrupted her from the doorstep as he entered with a bowl of hot soup.

        ” Um”.

        “Here, have this”. He sat next to her and gave her the soup.”You were beaten up by a fever last night, so, this soup will help”.

        ” You made this?”.

        “No, I ordered it, and was brought to me a while ago”.

        ” Thank you”. She takes a scoop of the soup.

        “You like it?”. He asked and she nodded. “Ok, I will leave you to enjoy your soup”. he stood up and walked away.

       Some hours later, Alexander was on his balcony working on his laptop with a glass of wine beside him, then, there was a knock on the door, and he asked the person to come in. Aurora entered and moved to him on his balcony.

         ” Um,”. She sputtered.

        “What is it?”. He asked still on his laptop.

        ” I came to say thank you for coming to find me last night, thank you for saving me”. She said nervously and Alexander sighed. he stopped working and turned to her.

        “Can I ask you a question?”.

         ” Yes”.

         “What happened yesterday? Why did you leave the house?”.

        ” I”. She gulped.” I got a call from Charles saying he needed my help, he told me his location and I rushed there to see him has been beaten to a pulp, In the quest to help him to the hospital, we were attacked, that’s how it happened”. She said sadly.

         “Don’t you know it was a trap? Your supposed boyfriend set you up”.

        ” I know”.

       “You do?”

        “Yes”. She sniffed as tears crawled down from her eyes.” He sold me out to those two old men, I can’t believe Charles will do this to me”. She sobs.

        “I tried to warn you”. He sighs feeling pity for her.

        ” Is nothing, am over it now”. She wiped off her tears.”Anyway, thank you for your help, thank you”.

        “You are welcome”.

       ” I will take my leave now”. She gave a slight bow and walked away, Alexander stared after her. 

      Meanwhile, Charles was receiving treatment in the hospital after some good Samaritan brought him to the hospital.

         ” Where am I?”. She questioned confusedly as the memory of the last night flashed through her head.”Oh gosh”.

         “You are awake”. Alexander interrupted her from the doorstep as he entered with a bowl of hot soup.

        ” Um”.

        “Here, have this”. He sat next to her and gave her the soup.”You were beaten up by a fever last night, so, this soup will help”.

        ” You made this?”.

        “No, I ordered it, and was brought to me a while ago”.

        ” Thank you”. She takes a scoop of the soup.

        “You like it?”. He asked and she nodded. “Ok, I will leave you to enjoy your soup”. he stood up and walked away.

       Some hours later, Alexander was on his balcony working on his laptop with a glass of wine beside him, then, there was a knock on the door, and he asked the person to come in. Aurora entered and moved to him on his balcony.

         ” Um,”. She sputtered.

        “What is it?”. He asked still on his laptop.

        ” I came to say thank you for coming to find me last night, thank you for saving me”. She said nervously and Alexander sighed. he stopped working and turned to her.

        “Can I ask you a question?”.

         ” Yes”.

         “What happened yesterday? Why did you leave the house?”.

        ” I”. She gulped.” I got a call from Charles saying he needed my help, he told me his location and I rushed there to see him has been beaten to a pulp, In the quest to help him to the hospital, we were attacked, that’s how it happened”. She said sadly.

         “Don’t you know it was a trap? Your supposed boyfriend set you up”.

        ” I know”.

       “You do?”

        “Yes”. She sniffed as tears crawled down from her eyes.” He sold me out to those two old men, I can’t believe Charles will do this to me”. She sobs.

        “I tried to warn you”. He sighs feeling pity for her.

        ” Is nothing, am over it now”. She wiped off her tears.”Anyway, thank you for your help, thank you”.

        “You are welcome”.

       ” I will take my leave now”. She gave a slight bow and walked away, Alexander stared after her. 

      Meanwhile, Charles was receiving treatment in the hospital after some good Samaritan brought him to the hospital.

    (DECEPTION)

    “Blood of Jesus!!” Mary cried as he started walking to her.

    “Shouldn’t we make a cooler memory?” Virus chuckled.

    “F+cking true” Bullet replied with an evil smile after he finished locking the chains padlock.

    He got his phone and clicked on camera, recording the video.

    “Please don’t!, Don’t defile me!!!” Mary screamed out again.

    Romanio was barely hearing her as he continued walking till he got to the bed.

    She was chained in a starlike way, so her arms and legs are apart, her p+ssy was staring at him.

    A lustful gleam appeared in his eyes as he climbed the bed.

    “Lord save me!!!” Mary cried.

    “Shut the hell….up!” Romanio spat, slapping her thunderously.

    Her lips bled immediately.

    “No…no….no please”

    “Lord Romanio is enough as your Lord” Virus giggled as Romanio made to insert his size into Mary…

    The door opened violently, revealing an obviously angry Hellcat.

    “What the hell” Virus rolled eyes.

    “Get the hell off her!” Hellcat thundered.

    Romanio’s lips curved as he smirked angrily.

    “The f+ck are you saying!” He got down from the bed immediately.

    “Rosario brought her here for a reason” Hellcat replied, still rolling her eyes.

    “What f+cking reason!, She’s not in the slaves cell or cleaners lodge!, Why the hell can’t I f+ck her!” Romanio stood in front of Hellcat, raining fire and brimstones with his angry eyes.

    “If you need a hole to f+ck!, Nightingale’s is always available!”

    “You don’t own my darn d+ck!” Romanio shot back ragingly.

    “Then keep the darn d+ck in your trousers!” Hellcat yelled, and Romanio grabbed his gun from the stand.

    He aimed for her head immediately.

    “This is f+cking serious” Bullet muttered, stopping the video he was making.

    “Hellcat’s gone nuts” Virus mumbled.

    “I might just kill you right now!, F+ck the fact that we’re childhood friends!, You’re really crossing the line” Romanio said coldly.

    Hellcat took a step closer to him, her eyes shooting lasers as she glared fearlessly.

    “Do it, f+cking shoot at my skull!” She shouted, and Romanio took the gun away from her head immediately.

    He adjusted his p+nts before leaving the room, his belt metal making sounds after him.

    “Aren’t you really going overboard?”, You’d be in your pool of blood by now if I were Lord Romanio” Virus said resentfully and left the room.

    “You blocked my chances of watching a live porn, f+ck you Cat” Bullet shook his head and left too.

    Hellcat is the closest to Romanio and Rosario, they’re childhood friend to be actual, she’s the only one who calls them by their names.

    She’s obviously closer to Rosario, she’s not always in good terms with Romanio.

    She breathed shortly and faced Mary who was still chained.

    She got the lock keys from the floor and opened them.

    Mary immediately balled herself up on the bed, covering her body with her arms.

    “I don’t know why Rosario brought you here…. but you’ll surely die soon” Hellcat said emotionlessly.

    Mary felt another tear escape her eyes.

    ‘She just saved me, why is she being scary?’ she thought silently as she sobbed.

    Hellcat went to Romanio’s closet and found a long black hoodie which she threw at her.

    “Put that on, before I blink twice” she ordered, and Mary quickly put it on.

    “Get down” said Hellcat, and Mary scurried down from the bed.

    The hood reached the middle of her thighs, and she apparently feels uncomfortable in it, so she started trying to pull it down even when there’s nothing to pull.

    “Out” Hellcat said and moved.

    Mary followed her closely, and they luckily didn’t see Romanio till they got out of the mansion.

    @@@@

    COMPUTER LAB**

    All the hackers and computer experts had their faces buried into their laptops without looking up as Rosario entered.

    Look up during working hours, and die.

    That’s the golden rule.

    There are twenty hackers in total.

    The faces down rule excludes the leaders of the lab anyways, cos they stood immediately Rosario came in.

    They’re not normal humans though, cos their brains were computerized, not human brains.

    “Welcome back Lord Rosario” Lush said with a cheeky smile.

    “Enzo’s location still remained unknown no matter how hard we tried to hack his IP address, I guess he has crazy backup” Pierce added beside Lush.

    “Phones?” Rosario asked, looking at the screens of over hundred systems.

    “He uses burner phones, tracking is impossible too” Lush replied.

    Hellcat came in.

    “Cat!” Lush smiled.

    “You smile at everyone” Hellcat muttered and didn’t bother to look at her before standing beside Rosario.

    “I took her back to the last apartment already” she said.

    “Cool” he replied, not taking his eyes off the displaying systems.

    “Why exactly did you bring her?” Hellcat asked.

    “Don’t know” Rosario replied.

    Hellcat raised a brow and Romanio came in with Nightingale.

    “Now that Blood is dead, Enzo will come out of his hole, Blood is his only son anyways” Nightingale said through the cigar stick on her lips.

    “Yes he’s his only son, but he’s got a f*cking daughter” Romanio replied.

    “Preet?, She died two years ago” Nightingale said.

    “That’s what everyone believes, but she was sighted in Dublin last week” Romanio replied.

    Lush pressed a button on the nearest laptop, and the picture of a girl in hood appeared on the screen.

    She was wearing a white hood which covered her face, so her face is unseen, except for the strands of brunette hair, sprawling out rebelliously from the hood.

    “So… Preet is still alive?, Then Enzo won’t give up easily” Hellcat said.

    ” And no one has ever seen her face” Pierce said.

    “Do we need to find Preet and clear her too?, Logarithm arithmetic should help” Nightingale said.

    “That won’t be necessary, both Enzo and Preet will walk out of their caves once we take over The Imperium” Rosario replied.

    “Blood is dead, The Imperium will get a new boss as soon as possible” Romanio said.

    “Can’t wait to know who, another loser like Blood?, Will he disguise as a shaman this time?” Hellcat smiled sinisterly.

    “Luca sighted!” Three of the hackers said at a time

    They all rushed closer to the systems.

    “In the USA?, That bastard” Romanio said, rolling his gum in his mouth.

    “Tell Bullet to prepare the jet, Rapunzel will fly to USA with Pandora tommorow, this greedy fool needs to be eliminated” Rosario said.

    Hellcat made to leave…

    “Tell Aaron to take dinner to her apartment” Rosario said.

    “Mary?” Hellcat faced him.

    “Her name’s Mary?” Rosario asked with a glint of shock in his eyes.

    “Yes” Hellcat replied and left.

    “Dinner calls” Nightingale said and left too.

    Lush and Pierce left after her.

    “You tried shit with the sister?” Rosario faced Romanio.

    “Shit?, F+cking is not shit to me!, I’m not a virgin mafia like you Rosa!” Romanio shot.

    “Don’t do it again” Rosario said warningly.

    “Else what?, You brought her here against my opinion, then you gave her an apartment!, I hate that as much as I hate her!” Romanio glared.

    “Why?” Rosario asked hesitantly.

    “Can’t you tell?, Because her name’s Mary” Romanio said hatefully and stormed out of the lab.

    Rosario stood for a while before bringing out a cigar box from his p+nts pocket.

    He lightened it but as usual, he wasn’t able to take a puff.

    He threw it down to trampled on it before walking out.

    ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

     AURORA POV

    I was cleaning the house when the security man came to me to inform me of someone wanting to see me, I wondered who it was, I left my cleaning and followed the security man, I was shocked to see Charles at the gate looking moody.

         “Charles”. I called surprisedly and rushed to hug him tight, but he didn’t hold back, so I pulled away from him.” What happened to you? Where have you been?”.

         “Why are you here Aurora? Is it true of what I am hearing?”. He asked.

         ” What do you mean?”. I asked confusedly.

         “You know exactly what I meant, what are you doing here? Is this the job your grandmother said you got?”.

        ” Is a long story, but I can explain”.

        “Explain what! You actually slept with an unknown man because of money “.

        ” What? How can you say such a thing?”. I asked surprised at his words.

        “Exactly what you heard, Did you sleep with him in other to pay your grandmother’s bills and your debt?”.

        ” Stop saying that Charles, you know me too well and you know I can never do such a thing”.

        “Really? So, why then does this unknown rich guy from nowhere have to clear your debt without asking for anything”.

        ” That’s why I am working here in his house”.

        “Are you crazy! You are a beautiful and naive woman, what if he forces himself on you, listen, you have to leave this job and come with me “.

        ” No, I can’t go with you, I work here now”. I declined and I could see his anger mixed with a surprised look on me.

        “Are you kidding me right now? Aurora I am your boyfriend and I demand you come with me, we will plan to give him back the money you owe him”.

        ” Am sorry Charles, I can’t go with you, my mind is made up”.

        “Aurora”. He called calmly and closed the gap between us staring into my eyes.” do you love me?”.

        “Yes, I do, with my whole heart”. I replied smiling.

         ” Then come home with me and we will pay him back the money”. He said sincerely.

      I sighed and I pushed away from him.

        “Am sorry Charles, I can’t, I am here now”.

       He breathes in and out trying to control his anger.

        ” You know what, you got to choose between me and this job”. He said furiously and I stared surprisedly at him.

         “What?”.

        ” Yes Aurora, is either you choose between me and this job and we call this relationship a quit”.

        “You can’t be serious Charles”.

        ” I am damn serious! You got thirty seconds to decide now”.

       “But Charles”. I became speechless and confused.

       He was counting and I don’t know what to do, I know we can’t afford to pay him back the money, so why is he making me do this? I don’t want to end my relationship with him, he is the only one that I ever loved.

         ” And done!”. He said ending the count. “I can’t believe you chose a main job over me “. he said angrily and walked away I tried calling him back but he refused to turn back.

        ” Charles, please listen to me! Please!”. I stare after him as I begin to sob.” Charles!”.

        ALEXANDER POV

    my driver drove into the compound, it was a busy day at the office, and all I needed this moment was a cool bath and a long sleep. I entered the living room and noticed everywhere was quiet, I couldn’t see her presence around, she usually rushed out of her room when she heard the sound of my car, I wondered where she could be. Suddenly, I heard a sound from the kitchen, I walked in the direction and I was surprised to see her on the kitchen floor drinking herself to death with tears flowing down her eyes. I felt a hit on my chest as I wondered what happened to her.

        “What are you doing? Why are you like this?”. I asked and she turned her face in my direction and let out a drunken smile.

        ” Oh, is Mr. Crazy”. She said and I rolled my eyes at her.

       “What happened to you?”.

        ” You happened to me”. She said as she managed to stand up and staggered on her feet, swaying a little.

        “How do you mean?”. I asked confusedly and she laughed.

        ” You ruined my life! You are the cause of my problem, it was because of you I had to lose everything”. She smirks and takes another sip from the drink she was holding.

        “You are wasted, give me that drink”. I tried to take the bottle from her but she refused.

       ” Don’t! You ruined my life! Because of you, I lost my relationship of four years”. she whined and I scoffed.

        “So, your boyfriend broke up with you and you are like this?”.

       ” Yes, and it’s all your fault, we were very close, close like this”. she said demonstrating with her fingers.”Very close to taking our relationship to the next level, but you came and ruined it all, you crazy weirdo!”.

     I rolled my eyes at her.”You should be happy you two broke up, he is not the right man for you”.

       “Easy for you to say, Charles is a good and lovable guy that any woman will wish to have, and I love him so much, but you came and ruined it all”. She said and stared hard at me.” You will pay for this Mr. Crazy, you don’t know anything about love that is why you ruined mine, I hate you, I hate you so much”. She yelled as she rushed to me hitting me on my chest.”I hate you! I hate you!”. 

    I sighed tiredly at her as she continued to hit me, just then she collapsed and I was quick enough to get hold of her before she fell to the ground.

        “You are really wasted”. I sighed as I took the bottle from her and carried her in a bridal style heading to her room.

      I got to her room and lay her gently on the bed and covered her with the blanket as I sat beside creasing her face while staring at her.

        ” I hate you Mr. crazy”. She murmured in her sleep.

    I signed. “I hope one day you see the real critter in the man you think you so much love”. I stood up and left for my room.

    *******

       The next morning, I was seated on the couch in her room sipping from my morning coffee while waiting for her to wake up. Suddenly, I heard her groan as she sat upright on the bed touching her forehead.

        ” Gosh! My headache “. She groans in pain.

    I interrupted her.” You are awake”.

       She gasped in shock immediately after she heard my voice.

        “F*ck! What are you doing in my room?”. she asked surprisedly.

       ” Don’t forget this is my house and I can stay wherever I choose to stay”.

       “Well is my room now and I demand some privacy”. She frowned and I scoffed.

          ” I don’t care, you got twenty minutes to get your a*s off that bed and fix me something to eat”. I said as I stood up to leave.” And one more thing, you look terrible when you are drunk, and remember I won’t conduct such stupid behavior next time “. I warned and left. 

     ******

       NARRATOR POV

       Some hours later, Charles was busy at the bar and at the same time thinking about Aurora, he was feeling guilty about what he said to her.

        “Am sorry Aurora, I didn’t mean for all this”. He sighed sadly and his cell phone rang, he saw the caller ID and picked it up.” Hello Mom”. He said and he was shocked to hear the voice coming from the other side of the phone.

       🧔”You are playing with me”.

       “Oh sh*t! Please don’t harm my mother”. he pleads.

      🧔” Get me the girl, or you will never see your mother again”. 

        “Plea…” The phone beeps which means he hung up.”Oh no”. 

       Charles became devastated as he rushed out of the bar, he boarded a cab and it drove him home, he rushed into his apartment and was surprised to see his mother seated on the sofa watching TV.

         “Charles?”. She called surprisedly and Charles rushed to hug her on the chair.” Are you okay?”. She wonders and he pulls away from her caressing her face.

        “Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?”. He asked curiously and his mother stared confusedly at him.

        “Yes, am fine, why are you like this?”. 

        ” Was anyone here in the house?”.

        “Yes, two men came looking for you, I told them you are at work, and they said they were just passing by and they decided to say hello to you since they are your customers in your place of work”.

         ” Really?”.

        “Yes, but why will they be looking for you? They look rich and famous, and you don’t belong to their status”.

        ” Yes Mom, am not their friend, they always come to the bar to drink that’s how I know them, but whenever they come by, don’t let them into the house”.

         “Okay, if you say so”. 

        “I will rush back to work now”.

         ” Okay, be careful”.

        “I will Mom”. he kissed her cheek and left the apartment.

       he was standing outside the apartment when a message came through his phone.

    Message: your mom got lucky this time, but the next visit won’t be favorable, get the girl in the next three hours, and the address will be sent to you.

       he sighed tiredly and then a van drove in front of him, two guys came out dragged him into the van, and drove off.

    ******

       Aurora was taking a nap in her room when suddenly her cell phone rang, she woke up and saw the caller ID.

         ” Charles?”. She said surprisedly and picked up.”Hello Charles”. she said and Charles’s voice came weakly from the other side of the phone.

        “Aurora, help”. He said weakly.

        ” Where are you? What happened to you?”.

         “Please help me, am at the park”. he said.

        “OK, hang on, I will be right there”. She hung up quickly and rushed out of the house.

      The security man saw her running to the gate.

        👨✈️” Are you going out ma?”.

        “Yes, please open the gate”.

        👨✈️” But ma is getting late and I don’t think Mr.Alexander will be happy if he doesn’t see you at home”.

         “I know, I won’t take long”.

       👨✈️ “OK, be careful “

        he opened the gate for her and she rushed out. Aurora came to the junction, stopped a cab, and told the driver the direction she was going. Not too long after, she arrived at the park, she searched around for Charles calling his number, and then she caught sight of him seated on a wooden chair looking weak with bruises all over his body.

        “Charles!”. She rushed to him.” What happened to you?”.

         “Aurora”. he called weakly.

        ” Hold on, let me take you to the hospital”. She helps him up supporting him on her shoulder.”You can do it”.

        Suddenly, two guys came out from nowhere and one hit Charles on the head, he fell and lost consciousness. Aurora gasped and she was held from behind, she struggled and they covered her nose with a handkerchief, she struggled for a while and then lost consciousness.

    GENRE: College romance 

    By, Mide L.
        ✧༺✰༻✧    ✧༺✰༻✧    ✧༺✰༻✧
                    ✮{…MOVING OUT…}✮
    Hailey’s mind screamed at her to stop this. To push him away.
    But her body?
    It betrayed her.
    “You keep pretending you don’t want this, princess. But your body tells a different story” he said brushing his lips on her ear, sending a chill to run down her spine. 
    Her breath hitched, her chest rising and falling against his. The cold that had wrapped around her moments ago was gone, replaced by a slow, creeping heat that spread from where his other hand rested against her bare back.
    “See? You’re warming up just fine” he murmured.
    She should move atleast or say something…anything but the words tangled in her throat, lost in the way his thumb brushed over her skin, the way his eyes darkened as they roamed her face.
    His hand that was on her soft boobs,dropped down and he trailed up her thigh, his touch lazy and teasing. 
    “Still going to tell me to stop?”
    Hailey swallowed hard, her pulse racing. The heat in his gaze was impossible to ignore, suffocating in the best and worst way.
    She was supposed to hate him. He was dangerous. Off-limits.
    Hailey’s breath came in uneven gasps, her mind spinning between the heat pooling in her stomach and the cold truth pressing at the edges of her thoughts.
    Then, it hit her.
    Reality.
    She stiffened beneath his touch, her hands pressing against his chest as panic flared in her eyes. 
    “Xavier… I—I’ve never done this before. Please don’t to this, I’m saving it until the night of my wedding, I’m giving it someone I love and not someone random like you” She pleaded and he stilled. 
    The smirk that had been teasing at his lips faded slightly, replaced by something unreadable. Then, after a long pause, he nodded, his fingers still resting against her skin.
    “You’re getting spoiled, princess” he murmured, his thumb brushed lightly over her hip, making her shiver. 
    “What do you think I wanted to do to you?”
    Hailey’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks burning as she struggled to form words.
    “I—I don’t know…” she stammered.
    Xavier chuckled, tilting his head as he traced slow circles against her skin.
    “Come on, use that pretty little head of yours” His lips brushed dangerously close to her ear.
    “Tell me what you thought was about to happen”
    Her face flamed, and she bit her lip, refusing to meet his gaze. The intensity in his eyes was too much, too consuming.
    And the worst part?
    He already knew the answer.
    “I know you wanted to sleep with me” She finally said with her eyes closed and he chuckled. 
    “Wanted to sleep with you? Yes… and I still want to” he said hoarsely. 
    Hailey’s stomach clenched, her breath hitching as he leaned in again, his lips ghosting over her cheek before stopping just at the corner of her mouth.
    “But I won’t force you against your wish” he murmured.
    “You know where to find me when you change your mind, princess”
    With that, he pulled away completely, the warmth of his body vanishing, leaving her skin tingling in the absence of his touch.
    Hailey could only watch, still frozen, as he reached for his wet clothes, slipping them back on with an ease that sent another wave of heat through her. The rain outside was still pouring, drumming against the roof as he ran a hand through his damp hair.
    Without another word, without so much as a glance back at her, Xavier turned and stepped out into the downpour.
    Leaving Hailey alone.
    Cold.
    Shaken.
    And unable to ignore the way her body still burned.
    •••
    Jessa leaned against the desk, arms crossed as she stared out the window, watching the rain pound against the glass. The sound filled the empty classroom, a steady rhythm that matched the frustration bubbling inside her.
    “Fresher’s Night has been ruined because of this stupid rain” she muttered, kicking at the leg of a chair.
    Asher, seated on the edge of a desk, ran a hand through his damp hair, sighing. 
    “I wonder if Hailey is okay wherever she is” he said, his voice laced with concern. His fingers tapped absentmindedly against the desk, his thoughts clearly elsewhere.
    Jessa turned to him, her brows raising slightly.
    “You seem really worried about her”
    “Ofcourse! And you should be too, she’s our friend”
    “I’m sure she’s fine, she’s with Xavier”
    “More reason why I should be worried about her, she’s with a psycho. He even burned down my precious jacket gifted to me by my late mother, all because she’s wearing it”
    “Yeah… That’s messed up, sorry about that” she smiled nervously.
    “Messed up? That jacket was the last thing I had from my mom. He didn’t even care. He’s a psycho that should be locked up, Jessa”
    Jessa crossed her arms. “You’re really pissed off, huh?”
    “No, Jessa, I’m just thrilled that some arrogant bastard set fire to something priceless” Asher snapped sarcastically before sighing. He pinched the bridge of his nose. 
    “Look… I don’t trust him. And I sure as hell don’t want Hailey getting caught up in whatever game he’s playing”
    Jessa tapped her nails against the desk, considering his words. 
    “Well, if she’s really in trouble, she’s going to have to figure it out herself. You can’t save her from everything, Asher”
    His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he turned back to the rain. Hailey was out there, somewhere, alone with Xavier. And that thought sat uneasily in his chest.
    Jessa watched him, a knowing smirk creeping on her lips. 
    “You like her, don’t you?”
    Asher stiffened, but he didn’t answer.
    And that silence?
    It spoke louder than words.
    “I barely know her” He finally answered. 
    “That wasn’t a no. You do like her” Jessa teased.
    Asher sighed, running a hand through his damp hair. 
    “It doesn’t matter”
    “Doesn’t matter? You sure? Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you care a whole lot”
    He didn’t want to admit it—hell, he barely understood it himself but the thought of her alone with Xavier, a guy he instinctively knew was trouble, sent an uneasy chill down his spine.
    Jessa studied him for a moment, her playful smirk fading. 
    “You know, you might want to tell her how you feel before it’s too late” she said.
    Asher scoffed, shaking his head. “Feel? I barely know her, Jessa. And besides, she’s not interested in me”
    “Not yet” Jessa corrected and Asher turned to her with an exasperated look.
    Not yet? 
    •••
    NEXT DAY*
    Hailey stirred awake, her body aching as she shifted on the hard surface beneath her. The sound of rain had stopped, replaced by the eerie silence of dawn. Her lashes fluttered open, and she blinked at the dim light filtering through the cracks in the abandoned building.
    For a moment, disoriented, she tried to recall where she was. Then it all came rushing back… Xavier,the rain, the unbearable heat of his touch, and how he had walked out into the rain, leaving her alone.
    She shivered and sat up, realizing her dress was now dry and neatly placed beside her. 
    Had he done that?
    She shook the thought away and reached for her phone, her heart stopping when she saw the screen light up with dozens of missed calls.
    Cecilia.
    She panicked and swallowed hard, imagining the wrath awaiting her back home.
    “Shit” she whispered, hurriedly slipping back into her dress, her fingers trembling as she zipped it up. She stuffed her phone into her bag, pushed herself up, and rushed towards the exit.
    The morning air was cool, chilling her exposed skin as she stepped outside. 
    She looked at the unfamiliarity of the place and she frowned. 
    Where the hell is she?
    She fumbled for her phone again, her fingers quickly typing Jessa’s number. The line barely rang twice before Jessa’s groggy voice came through.
    “Hailey?” She asked more like calling her name, sounding sleepy.
    “Jessa, I—I don’t know where I am” Hailey stammered, glancing around wildly. 
    “I was… with Xavier, and now I’m outside some uncompleted building. I—”
    “Wait, wait, calm down?” Jessa cut in, fully awake now. 
    “Okay, deep breath. What do you see?”
    Hailey turned on her heel, looking at her surroundings. 
    “Uh, there’s a huge billboard a few blocks away, a broken fence, and…” She squinted. 
    “I think a bus stop nearby”
    “Okay, I think I know where that is. Stay put. I’ll be there in a few minutes” Jessa said.
    Hailey nodded, though Jessa couldn’t see her. “Please hurry”
    Minutes later, a cab pulled up, splashing through puddles as it came to a stop. The door flung open, and Jessa leaned out, popping out her head.
    “Get in”
    Hailey didn’t hesitate. She slid into the seat, her body still cold despite the warmth inside the car.
    Jessa studied her, noticing the tension in her.
    “Are you okay?”
    Hailey exhaled shakily. “No… but I will be”
    Jessa didn’t say anything else. She simply nodded and told the driver to drive away, leaving the silence between them to say what words couldn’t.
    Minutes later, the car stopped in front of Hailey’s house.
    “Thanks for coming to get me, I will see you at school” She said and Jessa nodded.
    Hailey came down from the cab and shut the door and the driver drove off.
    Taking a deep breath, Hailey turned towards the house, the place she dreaded returning to.
    The moment she stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind her, making her jump. Cecilia was standing before her with arms crossed. Eyes cold. Lips pressed into a thin line.
    Hailey swallowed hard.
    “Where the hell have you been?” 
    “I…I got stuck in the rain. I didn’t hear my phone ring, and—”
    “Don’t you dare lie to me! Do you have any idea how many times I called you? How worried I was?”
    Hailey scoffed before she could stop herself. “You were worried about me? Why does that sound fake to me?”
    Cecilia’s eyes flashed with anger, and before Hailey could react, a sharp sting erupted across her cheek. The slap echoed in the quiet house, leaving a burning sensation on Hailey’s skin.
    “How dare you talk back to me? You disappear all night, and you have the audacity to act like a brat?” 
    Hailey clenched her fists, biting her lip to keep the tears from spilling. She wouldn’t cry, not in front of Cecilia. She promised herself that.
    “I’m not lying” she said through gritted teeth. 
    “It rained heavily, and I had nowhere to go, and—”
    “And what? You expect me to believe you were stranded? You probably ran off to be with some boy, acting like a cheap whore just like your mum”
    “Stop it! Not my dead mum! Don’t call her that” Hailey’s voice cracked.
    “Oh, did I touch a nerve? Face it, Hailey, you’re no better than she was. Running around all night like some stray. Who were you with, huh? Some filthy boy?” 
    Hailey clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
     
    “Don’t you think you should call yourself that name instead, the cheap whore suits you more. You walked into my uncle’s life when you fully know he’s married, you shameless woman!”
    Cecilia’s face twisted in rage, her nostrils flaring as she took a step forward, eyes burning with fury.
    “You little brat” she seethed, raising her hand again.
    But this time, Hailey was ready.
    Her hand shot up, catching Cecilia’s wrist mid-air. The shock in the older woman’s eyes was almost satisfying.
    “I dare you” Hailey hissed, her fingers tightening around Cecilia’s wrist. 
    “Hit me again, and I swear, I won’t just stand here and take it”
    Cecilia yanked her hand away, her lips curling in disgust. 
    “So, you’ve finally grown some backbone, huh? A few nights out with some filthy boy and you think you’re all grown up?”
    Hailey’s jaw clenched. “You don’t know anything about me. And you never cared to”
    Cecilia scoffed, stepping even closer. 
    “Why should i care? My husband took pity on you after your parents died, and now he’s dead, leaving me stuck with an ungrateful little leech like you”
    “I never asked to be here”
    “And yet, here you are. Sleeping under my roof, eating my food, wasting my money—”
    “Your money?” Hailey snapped, stepping forward this time. 
    “You mean my uncle’s money? The money he left behind? The house he worked for? I have just as much right to be here as you do—probably more, considering you’re nothing but a homewrecker who latched on a married man”
    The slap came so fast, Hailey barely registered it before the sting exploded across her cheek.
    Her head whipped to the side, her skin burning.
    Cecilia’s chest heaved, her hands trembling with rage. 
    “You ungrateful little bitch”
    Hailey slowly turned back to face her, eyes blazing. But before she could speak, another voice cut through the air.
    “What the hell is going on?”
    Brielle stood at the top of the staircase, arms crossed, a smug smirk playing on her lips.
    “This is fun” she mused, tilting her head. 
    “Go on, Mother. Don’t stop on my account”
    Hailey’s heart pounded as Cecilia turned toward her daughter. Brielle looked far too entertained for someone who had just walked in on a heated argument.
    “You, I don’t want to see your face for the rest of the day. Get out of my sight”
    “And if I don’t?”
    “Then I’ll make sure that scholarship of yours? It disappears. Don’t dare me”
    Hailey’s stomach dropped.
    Brielle’s smirk widened. 
    “Ooh, I’d love to see that”
    Hailey clenched her jaw. She couldn’t let Cecilia ruin this for her. Not after everything she’d been through.
    Without another word, she turned on her heel and stormed upstairs, her body trembling with anger.
    But one thing was clear.
    She was done letting Cecilia control her.
    Hailey stormed into her room, her heart pounding in her chest, her cheek still stinging from Cecilia’s slap.
    She wasn’t going to stay here. Not another second.
    She yanked open her closet, grabbing whatever she could. Her clothes, shoes and toiletries, shoving them into her bag with reckless force. The rage bubbling inside her made her hands shake, but she kept going.
    She stuffed her books in next, her scholarship papers, everything important. Cecilia wanted her gone? Fine. She was leaving.
    The door creaked open behind her.
    “Wow, dramatic much?”
    Hailey didn’t have to turn around to know it was Brielle.
    “Where do you even think you’re going?” Brielle asked, as she leaned against the doorframe.
    Hailey zipped her bag shut aggressively.
    “Away from this house. Away from you and your miserable excuse of a mother”
    Brielle laughed.
    “And where exactly are you running to? Oh, wait let me guess. The dorms? Good luck with that. I doubt anyone wants a pathetic little charity case like you as their roommate”
    Hailey spun around, her glare sharp enough to cut. 
    “I’d rather sleep on the dorm floor than spend one more night in this house with you” She spat and Brielle smirked. 
    “Oh, so this is you ‘standing up for yourself’? Cute” She stepped closer.
    “You think you’re finally free, Hailey? That leaving here changes anything? You’ll still be nothing. Just a sad, abandoned girl playing pretend in a world that doesn’t want her”
    Hailey’s nails dug into her palms.
    “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I am just an abandoned girl. But at least I’m not a bitter, spoiled brat who thrives on making others miserable just to feel better about hersel”
    Brielle’s smirk dropped.
    For once, she didn’t have a comeback.
    Hailey slung her bag over her shoulder, brushing past Brielle without another glance.
    She stomped down the stairs, Cecilia’s icy glare following her as she reached the door.
    “Don’t come crawling back when reality hits you” Cecilia called out.
    Hailey paused with her hand on the doorknob. She took a deep breath, then turned her head slightly.
    “The only thing I regret is not leaving sooner”
    And with that, she stepped out, slamming the door behind her.
    She was finally free.
    And she was never looking back.

    He immediately tore the top of her gown and began sucking on her b*+*bs while his other hand pulled off her p+nts.

    “F*+*k… So this is what boss have been enjoying alone?” He groaned as he began rubbing her cl+t.

    “Amour, Boss asked me to-” Coralyn paused at the door and a gasp escaped her lips when she saw what was going

    Looks like the man was too obsessed with Amour that he didn’t notice her

    “No…” Coralyn began panicking. She immediately ran out of the room.

    👥 What the f*+*k!?

    👥 B+tch!!

    👥 Is she crazy?

    The guests kept cussing as she bumped on them while running to the main hall. She ran in the hall and her eyes spotted the first person she saw – Aurelio.

    He was having a discussion with some of Godfather’s friends. Coralyn immediately ran to him

    “Boss!!” She screamed and those men turned to her

    “It’s about… Amour, she’s in danger” Coralyn whispered to his hearing

    👥 What is happening?

    The men kept commenting as they looked at her in confusion. The next thing they saw was Aurelio standing up from the chair and walking out of the hall with his hands in his pocket.

    Coralyn went after him immediately. The men all looked at each other on confusion.

    Godfather who saw Aurelio leaved the hall couldn’t help but wonder where he was heading to.

    “Follow him” He ordered Cleopatra who was standing next to him.

    “Yes Master” She nodded before leaving

    ✮•✮•✮•✮

    ••BACK IN THE MAID’S HEADQUARTER••

    The man already undressed Amour and was stroking his d+ck as he groaned occasionally. He climbed back the bed and spread her legs then made to push it in.

    “Go on, if you don’t value your family’s life I dare you to continue”

    He felt his soul sipping out of his body when he heard that voice. Slowly, he turned back only to see Aurelio standing there with his hands in his pockets. A smirk was plastered on his face as he walked slowly towards him.

    “B-Boss..” He stuttered

    Aurelio grabbed his collar and gave him one dangerous blow on the face. His head began spinning immediately.

    He dragged him off Amour and tossed him down and almost immediately Saint and Scythe walked in the room

    He actually sent Coralyn to call for them

    “What the hell…” Saint muttered

    “Take him away and lock him up in my torture room. Make sure he doesn’t escape” Aurelio said and the two immediately took him away.

    The man’s heart immediately fell as fear took the whole of his body.

    “Boss… It’s not my fault!! I’m sorry!! I was drugged!! Boss!! Please!!” He began screaming as the two men dragged him to the torture.

    It was rumored that whoever is sent to Aurelio’s torture room never comes out alive.

    Aurelio looked at Amour and his jaw clenched.

    “This thief again..” Cleopatra hissed from her hiding before leaving immediately.

    Aurelio looked at Amour for awhile before he left the room. Coralyn immediately rushed to her side.

    “Amour… Gosh, I was so scared. I thought it’ll be too late” Coralyn cried.

    ✮•✮•✮•✮

    ••THE MAIN HALL••

    “It’s the thief, Boss went to save her from a man who was trying to force himself on her” Cleopatra reported.

    “Really” Godfather frowned, rubbing his beard.

    This is really strange. He has trained Aurelio to have no feeling whatsoever. Even if he sees a dying lady in front of him it won’t move him even a tiny bit then why is she different? Why is he saving her?

    Thought she was just a mere pet to satisfy his manly pulsion then why is he doing all these. At first when Aurelio went against the clan just to keep her, he thought maybe he was lusting after her but with the way things are going he fears it might develop to something else.

    “No! That’s never gonna happen. I can’t let it happen, I can’t let a woman jeopardize the clan’s future” Godfather said.

    “If she’s posing a threat, I can get rid of her Master.. That is if it’s your wish” Cleopatra said.

    “I need to think… Go” Godfather waved his hand and she bowed shortly before leaving Godfather’s table.

    “A woman can’t get into my plans for Aurelio. He’s going to take over this clan on few months and I can’t let a woman ruin it” He thought.

    •••••

    “What!! The girl almost got raped?” Rexton immediately spranged up from the table he was sitting.

    “Yeah, boss saved her” Saint said, drinking from his bottle with a lady twerking on him while caressing his body.

    “Is she okay?” Rexton asked and Indigo raised a brow.

    “Is it me or you’re starting to care about her” Indigo spoke and Scythe nodded.

    “She just seems so familiar, just answer me guys” Rexton rolled his eyes.

    “Well I heard Boss ordered for her to be brought to torture room the moment she wakes up.” Saint replied.

    “Rex… Mind grabbing a drink with me?” Cleopatra winked s+xily.

    “Out of my way…” Rexton pushed her aside and left the hall immediately.

    “Idiot” She cussed angrily.

    ✮•✮•✮•✮

    Coralyn was seen walking on the hallway with her head down. Aurelio told her to go and continue serving the guest but she couldn’t help but worry about Amour.

    “I don’t get it… Why does everybody hates her that much?” She thought.

    She was still walking when she bumped on a chest and almost fell but her hand grabbed the person’s shirt for support.

    She looked up and a loud gasp escaped her lips when she saw it was none other than Viper.

    She immediately took a step back and then made to run away but Viper grabbed her wrist and pushed her to the wall, caging her against the wall.

    “You…” Viper sneered angrily.

    “I’m sorry Sir… I’m very sorry!! I didn’t mean to do that!! I was shocked to see you naked and I thought you wanted to do something bad to me. It was an act of self defense!!” Coralyn immediately began begging while shaking in fear.

    “So because of that you decided to kíll me right? Did I give you permission to enter my room!!” Viper yelled, his face so close to her

    Coralyn closed her eyes in fear.

    “I’m sorry… I’m really sorry” She squealed with her eyes tightly shut.

    Just at that moment, Ruby was walking by. She paused when she saw them in that position. Her eyes widened immediately.

    “Is that, CoCo?” She thought with wide eyes.

    He fists tightly clenched around the plates she was carrying as glared at the both of them before walking away.

    Viper glared at Coralyn with anger. 

    “I’m sorry” She muttered again.

    Viper hissed and released her..

    “You’re lucky you’re important in this clan. I could have wasted you” Viper said as his face went back to the usual cold look.

    “Go and clean the mess you left in my room and if you break one, just one more thing… You’ll regret it” Viper said and made to walk away.

    “Umm sir” Coralyn said and he looked at her sideways.

    “I know of a good doctor that takes care of men genital problem maybe he can help with yours. You don’t need to be shy about having an over weighted penis. It’s normal” Coralyn smiled cutely

    Viper: “…”

    ✮•✮•✮•✮

    ••MAID’S HEADQUARTER••

    Amour moved on the bed uncomfortably. Her eyes immediately flew open and she sprang up on the bed with wide eyes.

    She looked down at her body and then touched herself to make sure she wasn’t feeling weird. She was also putting on another gown

    “Is it… Is it a bad dream?” She thought but when she saw the torn gown in the bin that’s when she knew it wasn’t a dream

    “What happened?” Amour thought fearfully.

    “Boss said we shouldn’t let anyone in”

    “For f*+*k sake I already told you I just wanted to see if she’s okay!!” 

    Amour heard voices outside her room so she went to see what was happening.

    Rexton’s eyes widened when she saw Amour coming out of the room.

    He immediately rushed to her and Amour was caught by surprise when he grabbed her shoulders gently.

    “Are you okay? Did the man hurt you?” Rexton asked worriedly.

    “What’s… Happening” Amour asked and Rexton told her what he heard.

    “Master saved me?” She thought with wide eyes.

    “Boss said we should bring you to the torture room once you wake up.” One of the men said.

    “Huh?” Her eyes widened. Does he want to torture her?

    “O.. Okay” She stuttered and began following the guards.

    “Wait!” Rexton immediately said and Amour turned back.

    “Can I know your name” Rexton asked and Amour smiled

    “Amour… Thanks for worrying about me” She said before following the guards

    Rexton’s eyes widened in shock.

    “A.. Amour?”

    ✮•✮•✮•✮

    ••TORTURE ROOM••

    Amour walked in with her eyes darting everywhere in curiosity. What’s this place?

    She squeezed her nose when a very weird and displeasing odor hit her nose.

    “What’s this smell?” She wondered out loud

    “Blood” 

    She flinched when she heard that voice coming from the dark. 

    “Master…” She muttered, looking for him in the dark room.

    “Open your eyes well… You’re about to witness what I’ll do to whoever touches what’s mine” He said and the light shun on the man

    Amour’s eyes widened. The man was tied down n+kedly on the chair. He was unconscious but the light that shun on him made him wake up and the first person he saw was Amour.

    “I’m sorry!! Please forgive me, I’ll never ever do such things again!! I was drugged!! Boss, I’m sorry”

    Goosebumps ran through Amour’s body. She began feeling pity for the man, what if he was really drugged back then?

    A bullet immediately flew to the man and it took his shoulder.

    “Argh!!!” He let out an agonizing cry.

    Amour began trembling. Was she really going to witness him killing someone??

    Amour sniffed back her tears as she watched the scene before her. Never in her life would she have imagined getting herself in this situation she currently was.

    It felt like a never ending nightmare. From one gory scene to the other.

    The sound of footsteps was what rented the room, it was coming from a tall figure, his gaze never left the man that was tied down on a chair with both his hands chained down on the table

    The figure held a sharp silver colored knife in his hand, twirling as if it was his play toy, a vicious smirk playing on his lips

    Every step he took instilled fear and panic inside the man that was tied down.

    “Boss.. Boss please forgive me! I was drunk so I thought she was one of the clan’s whóre I swear I didn’t know she was yours” The man begged like his life depended on it.

    “Which hand did you use to touch her” Aurelio spoke calmly.

    “My.. My… L-Left-“

    He wasn’t chanced to finish his sentence when Aurelio cut off his left hand completely. Blood splashed on his cheek as it began bumping out of the  man’s hand.

    “Aarrrgghh!!!” The agonizing cry from the man echoed in the room as he peed on himself.

    Aurelio turned to Amour who looked horrified with the scene she just witnessed. 

    His hands found his way to her neck and he gripped it tightly, bringing her face close to his so he could have a clear view of the terrified look on her face.

    “This.. Is just the highest level of my kindness compared to what I can do. Remember this, you’re mine! Mine to touch, mine to f*+*k, mine to do whatever I want with… No one else… But me”

    A drop of tear fell from Amour’s eyes. Aurelio smirked and brought his hand to her cheek then cleaned the tears.

    “I’m the only one to make you cry, no one else” He said and released her before walking back to the man who was slowly dying with how much blood was pumping out of him

    “Boss… I’m sorry!!?” He screamed and cried out at the same time.

    “If my memory is still correct you tried to insert this inside her. For you to have the gut to try sh+t on my possession you have to be bigger than me but… I’m terribly disappointed by the size” Aurelio shook his head, looking at his d+ck.

    “Boss… I swear, I’m sorry…” The man begged in vain.

    “Master… Please- Ahh!!” Amour screamed out in fright when Aurelio lowered his knife, chopping off his d+ck off his body. The blood splashed again on his cheek

    “Aaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!” 

    Aurelio picked an axe before he grabbed his throat tightly, nearly suffocating him. All through, Aurelio held a smirk on his lips but the look in his eyes showed he was furious.

    “Who sent you… Tell me who did it and I’ll extend your lifespan to 5seconds.” Aurelio smirked, grabbing his neck tighter.

    “Boss, please spare me…” The man said weakly

    “5…4…” Aurelio counted, slowly raising the axe up.

    “Please beg him!!” The man talked to Amour but Amour was too scared to even move an inch.

    “3…2…”

    “Please!!!!!!” The man screamed at the top of his voice and the was the last thing he muttered when Aurelio swung the axe in the air and it chopped off his head completely.

    Blood splashed on Aurelio’s clothes

    The man’s head flew up and spinned in the air before landing on the floor, right in front of Amour.

    Amour stared at the man’s head and her eyes rolled in her socket before it shut down and she blacked out immediately.

     (..Stuck with the mafia boss..)

    By; Cherry Love F.

    He loved her voice. He loved the way she m0aned.

    All that echoed in Angelo’s mind was Mine. Mine. F+cking mine.

    Angelo turned her to face him and she looked away, looking everywhere except his eyes. He chuckled again and pulled her chin up with his index.

    “Look at me”. He said and she did.

    Emily subconsciously bit her lip and that was his undoing.

    Angelo squeezed her waist, pulled her even closer and claimed her lips fiercely, she kissed him back but she’s unable to match his ferocity.

    Kate was literally frozen as she watched them.

    “Even with his memory gone, he still loves her”. She mumbled.

    “What are you talking about?”. Hades asked, coming closer to see.

    “Nothing”. Kate quickly pulled the blinds and blocked his view. 

    “Give them privacy, gosh”. 

    Blade scoffed and left the room.

    Emily pulled away to catch her breath.

    “I…I have to go”. She breathed and slid out of his hold.

    “Wait…., You didn’t tell me your name”. Angelo said.

    “You’ll figure it out”. Emily called back and ran into the hospital. Angelo watched her, she was really shy, even her face was flushed and redder than a tomato.

    “There’s something about her”. 

    …. 

    Alyssa looked at Carlos and narrowed her eyes, he hadn’t wished her yet, as a matter of fact, no one had wished her at all. At first she didn’t care, she didn’t even want to celebrate anything but now Angelo is awake but they are still not saying anything.

    Carlos sensed her stare and glanced at her shortly before looking back at the road.

    “What’s wrong?”. He asked.

    “Nothing…. I’m fine”. Alyssa muttered and closed her eyes, leaning on the windshield.

    Carlos nodded and said nothing else.

    “What happens to Katherine now?”. Alyssa suddenly asked.

    “Angelo will decide that….when he regains his memory”. He shrugged.

    “I’m tired”. She mumbled.

    “You can sleep, I’ll wake you up when we get there”. Carlos said, reclining the seat for her to sleep comfortably.

    ADAMS HOUSE*

    Brad sat on the sofa, his head in his hand, he looked worn out and older than his actual age.

    Laura and Ava were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the silence was really awkward.

    “Is this how it’s going to be forever?”. Ava spoke up and Laura looked at her.

    “What do you mean?”. 

    “Emily staying away from us. She ran away without a trace and never contacted, it’s been a month since I saw my sister, a month since you guys saw your daughter and a month since you genuinely smiled. All she cares about is Angelo. Angelo. Angelo”. Ava rasped.

    “Dear, don’t think too much”. Laura soothed, placing a hand on her shoulder.

    “Even Bryan tried to bring her back but he….he died too…. without a trace”. Ava was crying now.

    “Our lives were ruined the second Angelo came into this house”. She mumbled, Laura just stroked her hair, trying to calm her down.

    “I miss her so much. We can never go back to how it was before… just the four of us”. Ava said again.

    Brad watched them from the living room and sighed heavily.

    ……

    Outside the Gerald mansion, the atmosphere was lively, Alyssa was still asleep and Carlos, bruno, blade, Kate, Anna and Hades were all making the arrangements for the surprise party.

    Everything had been set up already, just the cake was left and Kate went to get it from the oven.

    On getting to the kitchen, Kate was putting on hand gloves, she bent to bring it out but her hair kept falling over and covering her eyes. With a sigh, she removed the gloves and pulled her hair into a loose bun.

    Then she turned to get the cake out again, this time forgetting to wear the hand gloves back, she touched the hot plate with her bare hands and hissed in pain, dropping the plate on the table. Her hand was burnt now.

    “What the f+ck are you doing?”. Blade dropped his drink and rushed to her.

    “Shit”. He cursed when he saw her burnt hand. “Sit here and wait for me, don’t go anywhere”. He said, setting her on the counter. Kate just nodded.

    In less than a minute, blade came back with a first aid kit and began treating the wound.

    Kate watched him silently, he was focused on treating her hand, he hadn’t changed a bit, just colder.

    “What are you guys doing?, Angelo’s on his way”. Bruno said from the entrance and crossed.

    Blade stepped back.

    “All done”.

    He turned to go but Kate grabbed his hand.

    “What….

    “I’m sorry, okay?, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have cheated on you, I shouldn’t have broken your heart the way I did and I’m sorry”. She said in one go.

    “It doesn’t matter anymore, you chose Hades”. 

    Blade muttered and walked away.

    ** 5pm

    Angelo glanced at his phone, he has been trying to get through to the queen mother but it was switched off. He sighed out. This was unusual but he’d have to find out the big emergency that Carlos had.

    Apparently, Emily was interning at the hospital and she said she’ll stay there. 

    He didn’t know why but she seemed like a magnet that kept pulling him. According to Sam, he’d lost his memory.

    Then could it be that he has a special relationship with her.?.

    But that’s impossible because Angelo hates anything that will get him attached and even when he’s not able to recognize where he knows her from, his heart just keeps pulling him to her.

    He soon parked in front of his house and got out of the car, everywhere was unusually silent but he shrugged it off and went in. Alyssa was also coming down the stairs and the lights were off.

    “Is anyone there?, Why are the lights out?”. Alyssa asked, coming down slowly.

    Angelo brought out his phone, about to turn on the lights, then suddenly everywhere lit up. The first thing that caught Angelo’s attention was the poster that dangled from the railing of the stairs, downwards.

    “Welcome back, gelo”. 

    He read out.

    On the walls were several pictures of him and Alyssa together, captioned THE GERALD TWINS.

    HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY TO THE BADASS TWINS.

    Alyssa smiled, looking around. Carlos came out from hiding, followed by Kate, then Hades.

    Happy birthdays echoed everywhere. Alyssa jumped onto Carlos and he reflexively caught her.

    “I thought you forgot”. She rasped.

    “I could never, how do you like your surprise?”. He asked.

    “I love it”. Alyssa grinned.

    “Good coz there’s more waiting for you tonight”. He winked.

    “What the hell?”. Angelo exclaimed and they turned their attention to him.

    “We’re in a relationship”. Carlos said.

    “And…

    “Can we not talk about this?”. Alyssa cut in, Angelo scoffed.

    “Time to cut the cake”. Anna announced and they cheered.

    Alyssa came forward and gestured for Angelo to do the same. He rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything else. He never felt anything special on birthdays, they were just the same thing as every other day and he didn’t get the hype.

    “Three, two, one”. They chanted.

    Alyssa quickly made a wish and they blew out the candles.

    “What did you wish for?”. Alyssa asked Angelo and he just shrugged, giving the first slice of cake to her.

    “Nothing”. 

    “That’s not fair”. Alyssa whined. “But I always tell you mine”.  

    “I didn’t ask”. Angelo countered with a smirk.

    “Asshole”. 

    “You guys are fighting on your birthday?”. Carlos scoffed.

    “I have to go”. Angelo said and they looked at him.

    “Where are you going?”. Alyssa voiced out.

    “To see the queen mother”. 

    He was already at the door.

    “Angelo….wait”. Carlos called and he turned.

    “Maybe you should wait a bit….she might be busy”. 

    “Hm”. Angelo nodded but left anyways.

    They all looked at themselves nervously.

    “What do we do?”. Kate asked.

    “Follow him”. Alyssa mumbled.

    “Don’t….call Emily instead”. Blade reasoned.

    “What are you saying?”. Carlos frowned.

    “Just trust me on this,…I think he’ll prefer Emily being there if….you know”. Blade shrugged. His eyes met Kate’s for a millisecond and he turned away.

    “I don’t have her number”. Carlos said and glanced at Alyssa.

    “I don’t, either”.

    “I’ll call the hospital”. 

    ….

    Emily was helping an old lady in the hospital. Currently she’s massaging the woman’s arms.

    “I wish my family was a bit like you”. The lady said. Emily just smiled and didn’t say anything.

    “You’re so sweet, I don’t think I’ll want to leave this hospital at all when you’re around”. 

    “You still have a few more days, right?”. Emily asked and the woman shook her head.

    “I’m getting discharged today”. She said.

    “Oh, that’s great news then, I’ll get you a parting gift”. Emily laughed.

    “It’s not the same as having to see you everyday, I’ll miss you”. The woman pouted.

    “I’ll miss you too”. Emily hugged her shortly.

    “Don’t forget to call and tell me when you become a real doctor”. 

    “I sure will”. 

    “The nurses around here are jealous that you know Angelo Gerald “. The lady said.

    “What?”. Emily blinked.

    “They keep glaring at you every minute but you don’t notice”. 

    They both laughed.

    “Excuse me, miss Adams?”. A junior nurse poked her head in.

    “There’s a call for you”. 

    “Huh?”. Emily furrowed her brows.

    Who would be calling her?.

    “The person said it’s really important, be fast, I have work to do”. The nurse hissed and Emily stood up immediately and collected the phone.

    “Hello?”. 

    “What?”. She gasped.

    “I’ll be there soon”. She hung up and turned to the woman.

    “I…..

    “You don’t have to explain, I understand”. The woman said.

    Emily took her bag and ran out.

    THE MAFIA HEADQUARTERS*

    The first thing that Angelo saw when he stepped out of his car was a grave stone written: Eleanora de Luca.

    He stopped for a second, then rushed inside, the whole place was empty, till he got to the back, then he saw another tombstone with the queen mother’s name: Daniella de Luca.

    His heart literally stopped for a second and he froze, his eyes locked on the name.

    It’s not possible. The queen mother can’t be dead.

    He stepped closer and his head banged, blurry images, fading voices, everything was jumbled in his head and his breath quickened.

    He could feel the same anxiety attack he felt once a year, on his mother’s death anniversary, come back. His knees bucked and he fell to the floor, shaking his head vehemently as if it’d bring her back.

    🗣️ Swear your loyalty to me~

    🗣️ I curse the day I gave birth to you ~

    🗣️ Queen mother!!!~

    🗣️ I love you Emily ~

    All Angelo’s memories came back rushing to him in waves and his chest was constricting with every passing second.

    “Angelo!”. Emily called but he wasn’t hearing her.

    “Angelo”. She called again, she was beside him now, then he turned.

    “Emily…”. He called back and she blinked.

    “You remember..”. She whispered, his eyes were bloodshot red. Angelo only shrugged and faced forward.

    “She’s dead”. He muttered, more to himself than her. “And I couldn’t remember….I couldn’t save her….I couldn’t….

    Emily pulled him into a hug, stopping him mid sentence.

    “It’ll be okay”. She soothed.

    Angelo’s head on the crook of her neck.

    “I….I never thanked her….all these years and I never told her that I love her…. that she’s a second mother to me”.  His voice was broken now and it was tearing her heart to pieces.

    Suddenly she felt something wet on her shoulder, then another…and that was all.

    “Angelo…..

    “Don’t move”. He muttered, his voice was just a throaty whisper.

    It’s the first time he’d be shedding a tear ever since the day he lost his mom.

    AN HOUR LATER*

    Angelo stood with his hands in his pockets. Emily was standing beside him.

    Minutes later, two cars parked outside.

    From the first, Alyssa, Carlos and blade stepped out.

    And from the second, Kate, Hades and Bruno stepped out.

    They all came inside and no one was surprised when they heard Angelo regained his memory. The slaves were called back, it was a general clan meeting.

    Emily made to go and sit with them but Angelo’s stare pinned her on the spot.

    “Where are you going?”. He asked.

    “I….. nowhere”. She mumbled and stood erect.

    “Bring them out”. Angelo ordered and soon enough, Katherine, Josh and filipe were brought into the room, still tied up. They were all looking disheveled and stunk especially Katherine.

    “The Queen mother once told me to promise her that even if she died, our activities should remain the same and I expect all of you to obey that”. Angelo started and they all looked at him.

    “You all know that treachery is an even bigger crime than murder in this clan”. He turned to Josh. “You swore loyalty to me but in the end, you were only a spy”. 

    Josh bowed his head in shame. Angelo turned to filipe.

    “You played a smart game, I must applaud but you met the wrong people, I hope you meet your brother and niece soon”. 

    Carlos smiled proudly and Alyssa nudged him.

    “Out with them, lock them up in the dungeon, no air, no food, no water and throw them out when they’re gone”. Angelo ordered and the servants did just that.

    “As for you Katherine, when you swear loyalty to a clan, you remain forever loyal to them till you die…..

    “I’m sorry I…

    “You keep quiet when I talk”. Angelo snapped and she subconsciously pinned her lip. Every other person immediately stiffened at Angelo’s commanding tone, even Alyssa.

    “You’re supposed to be killed but….. you’re the only living heir of the queen mother and I won’t let her legacy die like that so…. you’ll be sent away to a subdivision, you’ll be trained as a servant and you’ll learn how to be loyal again”. He finished.

    Katherine just sat there quietly, not knowing what to say as she was taken out too.

    They all lightly bowed to him. Angelo looked at Emily.

    “Let’s go”. He muttered and started walking out, her trailing behind him.

    “I told you it’d be better if she’s there”. Blade said and stood up too.

    “What exactly is it about her?”. Alyssa asked with a smile.

    A WEEK LATER*

    Everything was normal now, Emily and Alyssa were in the garden, they got a bit closer and are now cool with each other.

    “Carlos is planning on proposing to me soon”. Alyssa suddenly said.

    “What?”. Emily chuckled. “How do you know?”. 

    “I saw a ring in his room with my initial on it”. Alyssa smiled.

    “Aww, I’m happy for you”. Emily smiled back.

    “I’m happy for me too”. Alyssa said cockily and they both laughed.

    Emily’s phone chimed and she excused herself to check it out, it was a message from Angelo, saying to meet him outside the mansion. Emily furrowed her brows but turned to Alyssa.

    “I’ll be back”. 

    “Where are you going?”. 

    Emily just showed her the text.

    “Wait, apply some makeup before you go”. Alyssa suddenly stood up and was dragging her inside before she could talk.

    Twenty minutes later, Angelo was dressed in a beautiful blue gown, with expensive jewelry all thanks to Alyssa. Angelo was stil outside and nodded when he saw her but didn’t say anything else.

    “Where are we going?”. Emily asked but Angelo just shrugged and focused on driving.

    Soon, he stopped the car and Emily gasped. They were in a park, a very beautiful one at that. They came down and she rushed to the lake, Angelo leaned against the car and watched her.

    Emily immediately squatted, putting her hand into the water.

    “It’s really cold, Angelo come over here”. She gasped and turned. Angelo brought out his index and gestured for her to come instead. Emily sighed but went anyways.

    She raised a questioning brow when he didn’t say anything.

    “What’s wrong?”. 

    “I really don’t know how to do this…. it’s supposed to be easy…”.

    Angelo rambled, Emily nearly laughed but he seemed really confused.

    “What are you…

    She stopped when he suddenly went on one knee and brought out a Darry ring, Emily’s hand flew to her mouth coz she nearly screamed.

    “A year ago, if someone told me that I’d fall in love with someone, i would have killed them on the spot”. He chuckled and looked at her. “Slowly, you kept coming back no matter how many times I wronged you, even when I pushed you away, you still came back…..i hated myself for falling in love because I grew up thinking it’d be my ruin…. but for you, I’d gladly be ruined over and over again if it kept you happy and safe. You’re my first love and last love, Emily Adams, will you marry me?”. Angelo asked and Emily squealed, nodding ceaselessly.

    “Yes, yes, yes, a billion times yes”. Emily uttered.

    Angelo smiled and took her hand, slipping the ring onto her finger and it was a perfect match, as if it was made specially for her.

    He stood up and kissed her slowly, then deepened the kiss.

    Emily’s eyes watered but she blinked back the tears and smiled.

    Who woulda thought she’d fall for a mafia boss?.

    “Emily!”. Someone yelled from a distance and they broke the kiss and turned. It was brad.

    THE MAFIA’S DEADLY DEVOTION

    The Mafia’s Deadly Devotion- Episode 67&68

     (..Stuck with the mafia boss..)

    By; Cherry Love F.

    “Angelo and Alyssa are each other’s souls, one can’t survive without the other”. Kate mumbled.

    “Call the f+cking fire department”. Carlos finally said. 

    “I didn’t bring my phone”. Kate said and looked at Emily, she was just staring at the warehouse that was covered up in smoke. Tears were forming in her eyes but they wouldn’t fall. The fire just reflected back in her eyes.

    Carlos cursed and searched his pockets, luckily, he had left his phone there. 

    Angelo rushed through the smoke-filled warehouse, his eyes scanning the debris-strewn floor. The flames engulfed the building, casting flickering shadows on the walls. He coughed, covering his mouth with his shirt.

    “Alyssa!” he shouted, his voice hoarse from the smoke.

    No response.

    He navigated through the wreckage, dodging falling beams and leaping over burning crates. The heat intensified, making him struggle to even breathe.

    “Alyssa!!?”. Angelo called out.

    No response.

    The fire was spreading now, everything was burning, his senses were shutting down, his mind was foggy, like he couldn’t even think straight and remember where the control room was.

    “Alyssa, I know you’re in here, f+cking say something”. Angelo snapped and made to move again but a pillar fell in front of him, the area lighting up.

    Angelo cursed and changed roots, the smoke was filling up his lungs and he soon reached the control room.

    “A-angelo”. A voice called out weakly and Angelo turned, but it wasn’t Alyssa. It was Emily.

    Her clothes were burnt up, even some pieces of her skin were beginning to burn up.

    “Where’s Alyssa?”. Angelo asked, Elena coughed.

    “I….i don’t know”. She choked out.

    Suddenly, Angelo heard a faint cry from the corner.

    “Alyssa!” he yelled, sprinting toward the source.

    He found her pinned beneath a collapsed shelf, her leg twisted at an insanely awkward angle. Angelo lifted the debris, his hand burning in the process.

    “Alyssa, I’ve got you,” he whispered, cradling her in his arms.

    Alyssa’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze locking onto Angelo’s.

    “Angelo…I….. I can’t breathe…..you shouldn’t have come back here,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

    “Stop talking, just stop. We’ll get out of here,” Angelo promised, lifting her into his arms.

    “The window….”. Alyssa started but fell unconscious midway. Angelo looked around, nothing was visible, it’s impossible to get out unhurt.

    Taking a shaky breath, he aimed to the door, running. That’s the only thing he can do now but fuck!, Every freaking luck was against them, the exit was already burned up.

    It’s over, no escape for them Angelo knew. He had made a lot of bad choices in his life, even his own existence was a bad choice but he’d never regret dying to save Alyssa. He just wished that he could get her out alive.

    He could feel the life leaving, the unhealthy air had infiltrated his lungs and his knees bucked.

    “I’m sorry, Emily, you should have never met me”. He said in his heart and lost consciousness.

    One month later* 7am.

    Emily sat down looking at the machine that was beeping slowly, it was the only noise in the room. There were no tears left to fall, for her, she’d shed every damn tear these last four weeks. 

    Today is his birthday but how the hell is he supposed to celebrate a birthday if he has refused to get up.

    “You promised me that you’ll come back…… it’s been a month already, why are you still unconscious?”. Emily mumbled weakly, dropping her head next to Angelo.

    “Happy birthday, Angelo, will you spend your birthday in a hospital?, Alyssa told me how much you hate hospitals….”.

    Flashback*

    The firefighters burst into the building, getting to work immediately, the rescue team searched for the Gerald twins, both of them were unconscious but their fingers had remained intertwined. They had even tried to separate them but it’s as if they were holding themselves for life.

    They were carried out of the burning house, rushed into the ambulance and in the hospital, had to undergo surgery. 

    Emily remembered that they literally weren’t breathing, their lungs were blocked from the smoke.

    Alyssa was unconscious for two weeks but Angelo fell into a coma.

    The doctor said it was his brain’s way of staying sane. A result of bottling up pain and all those feelings, it’s like it finally found relief by shutting itself down.

    Emily’s voice cracked as she whispered to Angelo’s unconscious form.

    “Please….”.

    The warehouse inferno. Angelo’s desperate search. Alyssa’s weak voice. Emily’s own screams as she watched Angelo disappear into the flames.

    Emily’s thoughts drifted back to the present.

    “Alyssa woke up, didn’t she?” Emily whispered, her eyes welling up with tears. “But you’re still stubborn, You’re still here. Why won’t you wake up?”

    The door creaked open, and Kate entered with a somber expression.

    “Emily, you’ve got to rest.” Kate said.

    Emily’s grip on Angelo’s hand tightened.

    “He’ll pull through. He has to.”

    Kate placed a gentle hand on Emily’s shoulder.

    “We’re all rooting for him, Emily. You know him, he’s Angelo freaking Gerald, he has to come back but you also need to rest.”

    Emily’s gaze locked onto Angelo’s face, her voice barely above a whisper.

    “Give me five more minutes”.

    Kate sighed but still nodded and walked out of the room. 

    Emily looked at the necklace around her neck and smiled.

    “I still have your prized possession, you know?, And it’s getting really heavy, having to wear it everyday”. 

    Suddenly, Angelo’s hand moved against hers and Emily froze, his eyes opened just a fraction.

    “Angelo!”. She squeaked.

    Numerous voices flooded Angelo’s head.

    🗣️ Angelo wake up, it’s me Levi, and I have no one to trouble if you won’t get up, so stop being a wimp and get the fuck up.

    🗣️ Angelo, Alyssa woke up today and she nearly lost consciousness when she saw you in this state. Wake up, man.

    🗣️ You can’t just confess and refuse to wake up, you said you love me…. I don’t believe that so please get up and say it again….

    🗣️ Alyssa didn’t make it… I’m sorry

    🗣️Alyssa…

    🗣️ Emily… I’m sorry

    Only one voice was getting clearer now…

    “Angelo…can you hear me?”. It’s Emily’s voice.

    Angelo’s eyes snapped open and he nearly had to squint them shut because of the bright lights. 

    The doctor rushed in and started checking Angelo’s vitals. Angelo didn’t say anything, he didn’t move, just stared at Emily wordlessly. Emily looked back at him, his gaze was lifeless and indifferent, like the first time he saw her.

    “His vitals are okay, his heartbeat is back to normal”. The doctor commented. 

    “Why am i in a hospital?”. Angelo finally asked.

    “You had an accident..you and Alyssa were trapped in the fire”. Emily explained.

    Just then, Carlos and Alyssa burst in through the doors, towards Angelo. The doctor moved a bit to give them space.

    “Angelo, you’re finally awake”. Carlos said.

    “Don’t scare me like that again…I even thought…..

    “Angelo say something”. Emily muttered.

    Angelo looked at her, then checked himself.

    “Where the hell is my gun?”. He asked and Emily blinked. 

    “What….

    “What accident are you talking about and who the f+ck is she?”. Angelo asked, glancing at Emily.

    Emily’s throat suddenly dried and she choked on nothing.

    How can Angelo not know her?.

    “Gelo, this is Emily…. how can you be asking who she is?”. Carlos asked slowly.

    “Can you recognize me?”. Alyssa breathed out, feeling her chest tightening.

    “What sort of question is that, Lyssa?, How will I not recognize you and Carlos?”. Angelo was exasperated now and tried to stand but there were multiple pipes connected to his body.

    “Do you remember…. Kate, blade, Hades….. queen mother?”. Carlos tried.

    “Yeah, so?”. Angelo raised his brow.

    “Then you know that the queen….

    “Mother is fine”. Carlos cut her off, she glared at him, then looked at the doctor.

    “Please ma’am, step aside”. The doctor said and Emily stood away. Angelo stared at her for a few seconds and his head started spinning and banging badly.

    “Sir….”.

    Angelo closed his eyes for a second, then opened them again.

    “Get out”. He said and looked Emily in the eyes directly.

    “This is a joke, right?”. Emily choked.

    “Emily… Just leave please, you can’t be around Angelo for now”. Alyssa uttered.

    Emily looked at Angelo once and headed towards the door, on her way out, Kate was coming in and she nearly screamed when she saw Angelo awake.

    “What year is this?”. The doctor, Sam asked Angelo and he scoffed.

    “It’s f+cking 2023, cut the bullshit and say what you want”.

    Alyssa turned to the doctor and pulled him aside. Carlos followed too.

    “You can tell us”. 

    “I think he lost a year of his memory, I’m a psychologist too and I think there’s something that he’s trying to block it out, possibly in denial of an event. I’d suggest that you try to keep him happy at all cost, he’s still in the process of recovering. Apart from that, the rest of his memories are intact”. Doctor Sam said.

    “Oh gawd, sooner or later, he’ll find out, I don’t know how he’ll react”. Alyssa muttered.

    “For now, keep him away from anything that triggers his memory or makes him remember everything that has happened in this one year”. Doctor Sam advised.

    “But will Emily understand though?”. Carlos blurted out. 

    “She will”. Alyssa said confidently. “She has too”. She added, a bit quietly.

    Doctor Sam glanced over at Angelo and Kate, she was talking and he was just there with his poker face.

    “Excuse me, I need to run some checks on him”. He said.

    Emily slid down from the car she was leaning against, no matter how she tried, those tears would not stop falling already.

    All the times they spent together, every threat, every kiss, everything, Angelo’s forgotten about it, it’s as if her very existence is hurting him and irritating him at the same time.

    Carlos came out and it wasn’t hard to find her, he walked over to her with a bottle of water.

    “Hey”. 

    “How’s he?”. Emily looked at him.

    “The doctor needs to run some tests on him, I think the death of the queen mother triggered him so much that his brain is trying to block out the incident”. Carlos said.

    “I….I just wish I could help him”. Emily mumbled.

    “I wish that too, hopefully he’ll regain his memory in no time”. Carlos said positively.

    “Thanks”. She smiled.

    “But for now, the doctor suggests he doesn’t remember, just yet”. He added.

    Emily pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

    “I think I have to get going, Hades and blade will be coming, Alyssa shouldn’t move around too much so I’ll take her home”. He stood up and patted her head before leaving.

    INSIDE ANGELO’S WARD

    Doctor Sam struggled to breathe, his legs dangled freely in the air, he kicked and shoved desperately but Angelo wasn’t relenting.

    “Will you tell me now?”. Angelo asked and Sam nodded. Angelo smiled and released him.

    “Don’t waste my time”. 

    “Y-you lost….a year of your memory. You were brought in here along with mistress Alyssa, the two of you were trapped in a fire, and I was in charge of treating you, you fell into a coma and didn’t wake up for a month…. that’s all I know, sir”. Doctor Sam rushed.

    Angelo stepped back, nothing was coming back to him. He still couldn’t remember a damn thing. Doctor Sam made sure to maintain distant between them. Angelo noticed that and rolled his eyes, deciding to go for a walk to cool off.

    “Sir, you need to rest”. He spoke as soon as Angelo reached the door.

    “I’ll be making you rest if you say one more word”. Angelo deadpanned.

    Doctor Sam placed his finger over his lip and turned the other way.

    “Someone help me”. He mouthed.

    ….

    Blade and Hades arrived at the hospital in their own separate cars, Kate was in the waiting room, pacing around.

    Her eyes immediately met with blade’s own and he looked away instantly. Hades came in too and sat down.

    “Is he really awake?”. Hades asked.

    Kate nodded and walked to the window.

    “Why is Emily outside?”. Blade suddenly asked.

    “Angelo doesn’t remember her”. Kate started and both of them looked at her. “He’s lost a year’s worth of his memory”. 

    “So…. he doesn’t remember about the queen mother?”. Hades asked carefully.

    “He doesn’t”. Kate glanced at blade, he was staring at her and just looked away when their eyes met. Kate just sighed and turned back to the window.

    ……

    Angelo stared at the lady sitting on the hospital stairs, the wind was pushing her hair into her eyes and she didn’t even attempt to push it away, her chin was rested on the knee that hoisted her body up.

    As if sensing the stare, Emily turned and her eyes locked with Angelo’s, she looked away.

    Angelo walked till he was beside her, she was stil sitting. 

    “Have we met before?”. Angelo suddenly asked.

    Emily shrugged and looked at him.

    “Do you think we’ve met before?”. She asked instead.

    Angelo raised his brow, that’s when he noticed the necklace around her neck. He then noticed that his necklace was missing.

    “How did you get that?”. 

    “You gave it to me”. Emily replied. “And I promised to return it to you when you wake up”. 

    She unhooked the necklace and handed it over to him, he narrowed his eyes but collected it anyways. 

    When they hands grazed each other, Angelo’s head banged again. He ignored it and looked around.

    “Name?”. Angelo quirked and leaned against the railing.

    “It doesn’t matter, I have to go”. Emily stood up and started walking away without glancing at Angelo again. She felt as if_if she turned back, she might slip up.

    “Wait…..”. Angelo started.

    But she wasn’t listening anymore.

    When she had gone a reasonable distance, Emily turned back, Angelo wasn’t there anymore, she sighed and turned again but a speeding vehicle suddenly appeared in front of her, Emily screamed and tried to brace up for the impact.

    A hand grabbed her waist pulling her off the road and to the side of the hospital. Emily spun in his arm, then his grip tightened, her back against his chest.

    “What were you thinking about, hm?”. The person asked.

    Angelo.

    Emily took a shaky breath, his lips were dangerously close to her ear, his breath fanning her neck, doing unthinkable things to her body, her heart would literally explode from her ribcage.

    “W-what a-are y-you d-doing?”. Emily stuttered really badly.

    “What am I doing?”. Angelo asked instead, his lips were on her neck now, nibbling, sucking, biting. Creating a hickey.

    “S-stop it”. Emily stuttered again.

    “Stop what?”. Angelo chuckled, his husky voice resonating in her ear.

    “I’m the same girl you ordered to get out of the ward….you can’t suddenly be doing this, you’ll have to make up your mind if you want me to get out or really stay”. Emily was even surprised that she could form a whole sentence.

    “Hm…..stay”. Angelo mumbled and bit her ear lobe, eliciting a moan from Emily.

    He loved her voice. He loved the way she moaned.

    All that echoed in Angelo’s mind was Mine. Mine. F+cking mine.

    ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

    Luminaria is a world beyond humans, a world for cruel people with magic. Heartless beings who live on power and feed insatiably on it. 

    They stomp on the weak without mercy, shed their blood with celebratory grins.

    Citizens of Luminaria are forbidden from having affairs with humans. 

    If such happens and a pregnancy occurs between a Luminarian and a human, then the child is born powerless and weak and automatically becomes a slave for sale in The Dark Room while the parents gets executed.

    Shayla grew up in one of the coldest slave cages of The Dark Room. Born of a human father and a Luminarian mother, her fate has been sealed since birth—destined to be a slave.

    Now in Luminaria, there are two ruling families. 

    The Millions—main owners of the city. They control the Grand Palace and are the most powerful beings existing. Pride is their armor, wickednes is their food, richness is their sign, and that even showed through their name. MILLIONS.

    The Spectres—second owners of the city. They were the original owners, but they weren’t as powerful. They completely lose their powers at midnight every night.

    For this reason, The Millions family snatched the city from them, and they were made second-in-command.

    The more slave a family has, the more their status elevate, and that’s why both families are the major visitors of The Dark Room monthly to compete at the auctions.

    Shayla’s sale day finally came,, her cage was dragged out for auction in the Dark Room.

    She watched the two families fight over her price, bidding hatefully with their bid-paddles, bloody voices and brutal utterances.

    For the first time in years, The Spectres won over The Millions in the auction, but just as Shayla was about to get handed over to the Spectres, there was a turnaround.

    A turnaround which reshaped her life—for worse, flinging her into the abyssal depth of darkness.

    Are you curious? I know you are.

    C’mon, let’s dive in.

    Don’t dare miss out!
