We have been friends for the past 3 years. I met him at my Mom''s party. We became friends, he was 17 back then and I was 15. Now he''s 20 and I''m 18. When he was 18, he impregnated a girl, and Her name was Charley Louis. She wasn''t a good girl. She had cheated on him a number of times. He always forgives her. He was a man who believes in second chances, but she doesn''t deserve it. He took full responsibility for the situation and promised to take care of the child, but she turned out as a complete bitch and tried to abort the baby without his knowledge, but Rory didn''t let that happen. He paid her with a good sum of money, she many times tried to abort the child, Rory was smart, he put a caretaker and maid around her, to make sure she doesn''t do anything stupid. After she had given birth to the child, he took care of that baby alone. He raised her as a single Father with nobody''s help. Charley didn''t even hold her baby once. She walked away with the money he gave. So, Yeah, he has a daughter of 2 years old. She is a very cute little girl. He named her Ariel Blaze. I called and asked him to meet me. He said as usual " I''m busy, Can''t Meet you" God, I hate those words. I begged him to meet me. I miss him and his daughter so much. After pleading and begging him he finally said ok and I decided on the place and time. You may feel I''m not a good friend and a selfish one to disturb him when he''s very busy with a lot of work but this is me. I love his company. I just want to spend time with him and his cute little daughter. It has been so long that I didn''t meet him, I know he was busy with so much on his plate. I was worried about him and his daughter. I went to his condo many times. The Babysitter used to tell me he went to the office or had some important meetings. I used to wait for hours and eventually leave. So here I am in a restaurant, sitting at my table waiting for him. I told him to meet me at eight. It''s 8:40 now, Still no sign of him. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I dialed his number; I was about to call him then saw him coming inside with his daughter in his arms, she saw me, jumped from his arms and ran towards me " v... " "Hey munchkin, how are you doing?" lifting her up. "Me fine, you?" She said, smiling at me. "I''m sorry for making you wait v," he said, hugging me. "It''s okay," I smiled, kissing him on his left cheek. We ordered our meal, After some time the waiter brought us our meal. We started digging in. "How''s work going on?" I asked, "It''s going fine, dad''s secretary Mr. Adam was helping and guiding me in many things. I''m just nervous about the new project I''m working on right now." "Don''t stress about it Ro, I know you''ll do good" I squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Venn" "Sunng" Ariel pulled the hem of my top, pointing at the group who was singing on the stage. When I visit his house, I sing songs and rhymes for Ariel, she also dances when I sing, it''s so cute to watch her dance. I read somewhere that singing songs would help kids to speak early and make them active. I looked up to see the band on stage, playing a slow song. I was watching the lead singer; she has a very good voice. I saw her somewhere I can''t remember but I feel like I know her. Her gaze fell on me, and she smiled. Rory saw my confused face, and asked, "Do you know her?". "No...But I feel like I saw her somewhere, I can''t remember where." He turned to her, watching her. "V, go sing," Ariel said pointing at the stage, I smiled at her. Bending over, I said. "I''m not their band member, I cannot go there and sing Ariel, it''s rude." "Please¡­" she requested with her big baby brown eyes. "Ariel baby, she is not their band member. How can she go there and sing dear? She doesn''t know them, I promise I''ll make her sing a song after our dinner okay" Rory took her hand and kissed it. "Daddy promise?" She grinned. Nodding to her, "Daddy Promise" he grinned. I smiled at them; Rory is the best father I have ever seen before. Anybody who sees their relationship will say that a thousand times because he''s really a very good father, he never made her cry. He gave her his time and love, Even when he''s busy with lots of work he would run to her when she''s sad. I craved that kind of love, I missed it terribly. After finishing the song, The lead singer waved at me signaled me to come onto the stage. It confused me. Normally bands never call a stranger to the stage to sing when they are performing, I know it because I have gone to many concerts and I don''t remember any of the singers calling someone over to the stage and allowing them to sing. Maybe they do, but I never saw or heard about it. "Everyone.... Meet my friend Vanessa Foster. She is a very good singer too, let''s hear her " she announced. Friend? I don''t even know her, why is she lying. Who is she? Do I know her? If I do then why can''t I remember her? Everyone was looking at me, and I was feeling nervous. I don''t know her and she just announced my name, asking me to sing. I turned to look at Rory, he was encouraging me to go. Ariel was grinning and gesturing me to go, I stood up, I was trying hard not to show my nervousness on my face, my legs were weak. It was hard for me to move them, and I feel like I was lifting a huge rock. I slowly began to walk to the stage. My hands were sweating and shaking. I climbed up on the stage and took a deep breath and smiled at everyone hiding my nervousness, with my shaking hands I took the mike from her, she smiled at me which confused me more. Why on Earth is she asking me to sing? How did she know that I sing? How did she know my name? So many questions were running in my mind, but I have no answers to them. Like the lightning bolt I remembered her, she was there when I sang on an occasion. Where my mom was a host, her name was Olivia Carl, my mom''s boss treated me like his daughter. My mother told him that I can sing, so he requested me to perform, So I did. Olivia was a guest there; she saw me singing and praised me. I don''t personally know her, only once I met her and I never saw her after that. I didn''t say anything to her. I turned around to face the people who were curious to hear me sing. I looked at munchkin and smiled. Her innocent face relaxed my nerves a bit. I remembered the song which I recently liked, Looking at every one maintaining eye contact with them, I was clearing my throat. Desert Rose. [Rising High Note](mine) I closed my eyes while doing the high note, I guess my nerves are popping out on my neck. Pressing more I sang without breaking. [Music] [Note] (me) I continued to do another note while she was backing. [Note] (backing vocalist Olivia) [Verse 1] (I opened my eyes) (I Breathed out while singing the lyrics) [Note] [backing vocalist] [Pre-Chorus] [While I''m singing the song, I saw a gentleman at the last table, looking at me with those mesmerizing green eyes. They had an intensity in them that I started sweating, I wasn''t breaking eye contact, he wasn''t breaking it either.] Continuing the lyrics [That jawline, I just want to trace my finger on it. I once wanted to feel his skin against mine. His Sharp and hard jawline was giving me a hard time, I blinked a few times to get out of it. I shifted my gaze on someone opposite to me) [Chorus] (Lyrics) [Note] [backing vocalist] [My Note with her] (closing my eyes tightly I sang my high note). [Verse 2] Regarde nous (My eyes met his again) Les m¨ºmes joues Toi et moi, tous les deux les m¨ºmes (Like he understood what I''m saying, he was watching my every move, my hands, my face without blinking) Plus de joie, en rentrant dans le bled [Pre-Chorus] I Continued The lyrics [Chorus] (He is very handsome and hot too, he was wearing a black Armani suit, talking to someone sitting opposite him. The man reeked of dominance and authority) [De....] [Backing Vocalist] [Bridge] [My grip on mike increases with my voice and high notes] [my Bridge Note] [Chorus] Lyrics [Outro] (My knuckles turned into White, my eyes weren''t leaving him, I could see him gripping his glass of water. His jaw clenched and a nerve popping out on his forehead and on his hands) (I closed my eyes) (My Note) End. **** When I opened my eyes, everyone stood up and I was greeted by applause from the crowd, praising me for my skills and voice. "Thank you," I said shyly, Olivia came to me and hugged me. "you sing so well, It amazing to watch you sing like an angel dear." "Thank you," I smiled, walking back to my table I see Rory clapping and smiling at me, I sat down on my chair. "You know you have a beautiful voice, if you utilize it you can be a popular singer, make it as your passion and career Venessa," he said. I just smiled at him. "You sing well," Ariel said and kissed me on my right cheek, "what''s that song called?" He asked taking a spoon of his meal. "It''s Desert Rose " "Is it a new song?" "Yes, I think it released recently." "Love it," Ariel said, looking at me. I smiled at her, "Oh...So, my munchkin liked the song hm¡­ Then I have to sing it every time I come to your home!"I said, tapping my chin. "Yes, yes," she said with excitement. "Okay, I will sing this song for you, and you have to dance for me then deal?" Nodding and grinning "Deal," she replied and I grinned. "Oh! I forgot to ask how''s Mr. blaze? I heard he''s sick now." "He''s fine, it''s just the flu." "Your Mom?" "She''s Fine, Too," "Tell me about the business," He sighed, "stressful" "You need to take some rest, and you''re not a machine to work all day without taking rest Ro, you look awfully weaker than before." "I will." "You should or else I have to put a babysitter for you." Ariel laughed at it, "Daddy gets it, haha!" I laughed with her, "yeah, so funny" he got irritated, "Okay, no laughing" I put a finger on my lips, Ariel also put a finger on her lips. "Hm¡­(I suppressed my laughter.) what was your project about" I diverted the topic, "It was about a product I''ve been working lately." "what product?" "It''s a shower gel¡­" I could feel someone''s gaze on me. It was so intense that I had to look back. Whatever Ro was telling me wasn''t reaching me. Those eyes, God just by looking at them I was mesmerized. He got this intimidating personality like a dark aura around him, Making every one bow down to him. Those beautiful eyes, sharp jaw, kissable pink lips and pointed nose everything about him was attractive and screaming for attention. The man sitting opposite to him was telling him something, but his full attention was on me. We were staring at each other like everything around us had disappeared. He was looking at me like he was memorizing every single part of my face and it was very intimidating. I heard someone calling me; I turned around to see Rory''s worried face. "What happened, what are you looking at?" Rory said, "Nothing, you''re saying?" I replied. "Yeah. So I was thinking of investing in that company" he was talking about his company. His father was sick, and he took over the company blaze textiles, it''s leading in Los Angeles. His father has put people around Ro to help him with things with the company. My mind was elsewhere, everything I could think was him. I don''t know why, but he took all my interest. **** After our dinner, we bid goodbyes, and he took off in his car and I started walking towards my car. I saw a sleek black Lamborghini waiting. I saw that same man getting in "rich people," I mumbled and drove off from the restaurant. While I''m riding, I felt like some one''s following me. I checked out, but couldn''t find anyone. So, I parked my car and went inside my house. Yeah, I live alone, my mom died due to cancer 3 years back and father died in a car accident when I was eight. I hate my cousins and relatives. So, I only have my grandma left, she lives in Florida far from Los Angeles. I''m still a student studying in Los Angeles high school. I was a High scoring candidate in my school, because of which, I was receiving a very good scholarship from my school. I worked hard for it. My mother and my father have put so much money on my name because of which I haven''t had a problem till now, my grandmother also sends me money every month without delay. I was setting up time in my alarm to wake up and get ready tomorrow morning for school. I was about to lay down on my bed but heard someone furiously knocking on the door. I stood up, slowly walked out of my room to open the main door. I slowly opened it and saw a very handsome man wearing a black suit standing there with something in his hand. ***** Author''s Note: Hey readers, This is my first book, please read it and if you find any grammar mistakes please ignore it.

I asked, He looked at me and gave a box to me, it was decorated. "It''s for you ma''am," he said, started walking towards his car. "Hey mister, wait ". He drove off. I took the box inside and unwrapped it. Inside there''s a book, I lifted it in my hands. It''s a novel. I love novels. I read them a lot, but who gave me this there''s no name on the box. I flipped the box, and I saw a piece of paper with a quote stick to it. "And in her smile, I saw something more beautiful than the Stars" L.F It was written beautifully. Who''s this l.f I tried to remember, but I don''t know anyone with that name. I opened the book. "One day by David Nicholls'''' I thought I would read it, but if I start it now, I will not sleep tonight. I''ll just read it tomorrow after school, it''s best or else I''ll never get up from my bed, I put that book on my study table and climbed up on my bed to sleep. I closed my eyes to sleep but I can''t, you know why? Yeah! That man ahh! god now that Greek god is disturbing my sleep schedule too. With great difficulty, I slept. ******* Tik*tik*tik*tik*tik My alarm started Ringing, "Ah god fuck my life aghhh " Groaning I got up from my bed, went to the o washroom, did my morning duties. Then it''s time to dress up. I took my off-shoulder yellow crop top, wore it with my ripped jeans, Did my hair and put some lip gloss. Yeah, that''s my makeup, only lip gloss I don''t know why I don''t like to make up. I just feel that makeup is a waste of time. I went to the kitchen, did my breakfast, ate it and rushed to my car. I reached school, parked my car. I walked into my school. "Hey v wait "turned around and saw beth coming from the parking lot. Beth John is my best friend from 6th class, she is an exquisite woman behind those big glasses. She is blonde, tall, skinny. We both are complete opposites. I''m short 5.3 maybe, jet black shoulder-length hair, big brown eyes, our tastes are also different. "Hey, slow down beth," I said, She took a deep breath, and we started walking towards my locker, talking to each other. "Hey look who''s here vvvv vennessaaa, The fat bitch " Oh, fuck! That''s Casse Armond Queen bitch of our school, she is rich, her father and mother both are doctors, she is the heiress to most leading hospitals in Los Angeles.she is a disgusting pig not in looks but in behavior. She''s like 5.8 tall, long legs, slim body and with lots of Noooo No tons of make-up on her face. Right now, she is dating our football captain of the school. Remond grey, he is super hot with a boyish smile, he has 3 more friends. They are like a gang always together, all of them are super hot and every girl in my school Drool over them. " Did you have your breakfast, fatso? " Casey asked rubbing my flat stomach. " Ha! look at her Casee, what a chubby little girl, " Alessa said touching my cheek. That''s Alessa black, She is a bitch number two, both are big fat bitchs of the school, they bully everyone. " Aww what happened to my shorty, cat got your mouth? " Casey said touching my cheek I said nothing to them, I just ignored them and took my things from the locker calming my self. Usually, I don''t fight much, but if someone starts a fight I''ll never back down a bit. Beth And I started walking towards our class. She has a history class. I have maths, so we went our separate ways. I opened my schedule to see what my last class was. Suddenly I bumped into something hard, I was about to fall but Two strong arms held me still. Curiously I looked up, Huh it''s Remond grey, I quickly stood up. " Sorry " I mumbled, He looked at me muttering something under his breath. " Where are those fucking eyes are? , can''t you see where your walking idiot !! " I was fuming right now, I was already pissed because of his girlfriend back then, glaring at him I said, " You should fucking see where you''re going too stupid " With that, I turned and started walking towards my class, he grabbed my arm and shoved me to the wall, " What did you just say? " he said, glaring me " Are you deaf can''t you hear? " I said in a shaking voice, glaring at him. literally, he was just an inch far from my face, if I move a little our lips would touch. He was that close, gritting his teeth he said, " Don''t you dare talk to me like that " I stumped on his feet and ran towards my class, his groaning catching his feet. I took a deep breath and entered my class. By God''s grace and mercy, I didn''t see him again, Thank God for this. At lunch break me and Beth decided, we would go to the cafeteria to eat something . we took the plate and sat down on a table We are having our lunch. I can feel someone glaring at me and that''s Remond grey. He was sitting with his friends in his usual place, his girlfriend was all over him, wanting his attention but he''s busy glaring at me. Later after lunch, I went back to class. Remond was also in the same class, we literally have 4 same classes. Hah, what a lovely life I''m living. He was sitting across from my table. Miss Mekenza started the class, I was seriously listening to the class, then a paper was thrown at me. I looked at it and opened it " Meet me after school today at the back of the school and come alone " I looked up to see who threw it. Remond was looking at me, indicating that it was him who threw it. I was scared, what if he does something to me what will I do? No, your brave v nothing will happen to you and see what he wants that''s it. After school, I went to the backside of the school. He was waiting for me already. When did he come, how did he come so fast? " You''re late," he said, glaring at me. I said nothing about it. " What do you want? " " Ha, direct to the point ah " smirking he said, I want to slap that off " Guys " he called I turned back and Casee threw ice cream on my face and all over my dress. I was shocked to react, they were laughing at me, high-fiving each other. " Oh dear Venessa, crying? look guys, she''s crying " Remond said, laughing like a maniac. "Next time if you talk to me like that I''ll rip your head off " With that, he pushed me aside and went off with his friends. Author''s Note : Hey readers, please let me know your thoughts on this chapter below ???? . Love you guys ?? Thank you ?? Chapter 4：Stranger I don''t know what to do, they ruined my dress. My top was wet because of that ice cream, my face, my jeans too. Wiping my tears, I went to the washroom and cleaned myself. I heard someone else coming inside, "Hey, Venn" beth came to me and hugging me, she asked, "What happened Who did this " I started crying again. "Its Remond and his friends" wiping my tears, she said. "Stop crying v,Can you tell me what happened back there" I told her everything. She was fuming with anger after listening to me. "Fucking asshole, come on, let''s go, we''ll have some coffee come, stop crying "she consoled me. She took me to the cafe, We ordered some coffee. After a few minutes, the waiter bought coffee at our table. We started talking about classes. Then Aron Norwood entered the cafe, as he owns it. Aron Norwood, He''s from the most powerful family the Norwood''s, And heir to the biggest banks in the state, Shopping malls, and hotels. He was considered the hottest guy in our school. He is talented, outgoing, arrogant, and a playboy. And was one of Remond''s friends too one of the four, I trained my eyes on Aron. He was holding a bevy of girls giggling and chuckling to something they said. He was there when they bullied me, I was busy cursing and glaring him, that I didn''t notice, He was looking at me with that arrogant smirk on his face. Out of frustration, I shot him a deadly Glare. I fucking hate Remond and all his friends. Assholes. "Let''s go beth, I''ll be late for work," I said, And then we left the cafeteria. I was going back to school to take my bag from the locker, I reached my locker. Took all my things, I was just about to text beth, When someone grabbed me by the waist and hauled me off, half carrying and half dragging me with him. the next thing I knew, I was in an empty classroom with a guy. Curiously I looked up and saw a very familiar brown hair -smirking- stupid face which made my blood boil. Remond grey I stepped away from him "You " I shrieked angrily. "Happy to see me?"he announced with an overconfident tone. "What do you want? " "I was just wondering that how does this," pointing at his hand " looks on your face " He said, showing me chocolate pastry in his hand. He leaned closer with a teasing look on his face. I was just glaring him, He then took that pastry, rubbed it all over my face. I was too shocked to react, I stood there like a statue. He started laughing at me, "Hahaha..... you look so adorable," he said, laughing historically. After a few seconds, he composed himself, Then he leaned over, began to lick that cake off my face. I couldn''t control myself, I pushed past him and Strom out of that empty classroom. I ran to the washroom and started to clean my face, tears were streaming down my cheeks. I couldn''t control myself at all, I walked towards the street. There was a park little far from our school, it''s peacefully there so, I went there. I Sat down on a bench. There I saw, kids playing with there parents, I couldn''t control myself anymore, I started crying silently there, remembering my parents. I miss them a lot, There wasn''t a day went well without them. After they left me, I was broken I was a loner, I just talk to my friends that''s it. I stay alone I like to be alone, Tears were flowing continues from my eyes. I didn''t notice that someone was sitting beside me, I turned my head, A man was sitting there with a handkerchief in his hand. He looked at me, Its him !!!!!!!! . That stranger at the restaurant, where I sang. " Take it," he said with his deep sexy voice. Hesitatingly, I took that handkerchief from his hand and wiped my tears. Dressed in dark clothes with dark hair and a handsome face with a dark stare, he was both riveting and frightening. We both were looking at each other in the eye. " Who are you? " I asked, still not breaking our eye contact. He didn''t say anything. After a few seconds, he stood up kissed me on my forehead and started to leave. I silently watched him retreating in his black Lamborghini, He''s got this intimidating personality, Everything about him was dark and Powerful. I feel like I can just sit there, watch him the whole day. Suddenly My phone started Ringing, I see Beth''s calling, " Where are you venn? I''m waiting for you here " Shoot I forget about her fuck "Coming, coming" Author''s Note : Hey guys, Please let me know your thoughts on this chapter below ?????? Love you guys ?? Chapter 5：Monster With that, I hung up and ran towards the parking lot at school. We both bid goodbye and I drove, I reached my home, parked my car, went inside, hanged my car keys. I have to go to work, So, I took some rest, After some time my alarm started Ringing, waking me up. it''s 5 30 now. I ran towards my bathroom, I got ready in just 20 min, Took my car keys locked my house,I drove. I work at f''s restaurant as a waiter there, I get a decent salary, Sometimes it''s not enough but I learned to adjust in a little money, My house was under my dad after he died, it transferred on my. Sometimes grandma sends me money, but I never accepted it. still, she puts it in my bank account, I just let it be there, I never took a penny from it. I like to be independent; I don''t want to be a burden to my grandma so, I work for myself. I reached the restaurant, parked my car, and went inside. I changed my clothes. "Hey v "it''s Kim, my coworker. Kim hemmington, He''s Exceptionally kind, talented, Sporty. He''s 6 feet tall, brown hair, blue eyes, very attractive and very popular among girls. He has this charming personality always smiling and kind. "Hi, Kim " " What happened, you look weak "he asked with concern in his blue eyes. "Nothing, just school stress " "Don''t stress so much v? "he said, out of concern "Venessa stop chatting and come here, please " It''s our manager, Mr black. "Yes, Mr black " "Take order from table no 8 " e said, "Ok " walked towards that table, I see 4 people, two boys, and two girls, talking to each other. I reached there, "Your order please, "I asked smiling, After seeing who they are, my face literally dropped. It''s Them!!! Aron and Remond with Two girls never saw them before. Fuck my life, Why this happens to me all the time. "Look!!!who we got here guys " Remond said, Looking at me like I am his new puppy, I said nothing, I stood there watching them. Aron was looking at me with something in his eyes, I can''t understand, why he was looking at me like that, It was like he wants to say something but he can''t. "Who''s this Rey, do you know her ?" A girl sitting beside him asked with curiosity. "Yes, she is Vanessa foster, my school mate " Coming towards me, wrapping hands around me and said, "She is my favorite girl in school "Remond said, looking at me. I took his hands off me, moved aside slowly, My action shocked him "Your order please, "I asked them politely. Aron gave me his order first, then all of them gave one by one I gave it to Kim Looking at me he asked, " what happened v " Looking down, " I don''t wanna go back there, " I said, Looking at that table he said, " Okay, Ashley ! can you take this to table 8 ?" he asked " Okay, no problem, " she said, She took that order with her, I was helping Kim here. Then Ashley came back to me, " They''re asking you v, please go there, " she said Kim looked at me, " If you feel uncomfortable, I''ll go there and tell you aren''t available ok " " No no it''s ok, I''ll go " I assured him. I walked back to table 8, Quietly, I started serving them. Suddenly Remond pushed my hand, The soup bowl slipped from my hand and fell all over the table and on Remond''s t-shirt, I started apologizing to him. " What the fuck! , you ruined my t-shirt. " He shouted, without listening to me " Call your manager, right now " He shouted. Mr black ran towards us, I was scared for my job. He started complaining about me to Mr. Black. Mr. Black with so much difficulty cooled the situation down. he called me to his cabin. He started explaining to me that they are rich kids and regular to this restaurant. Remond came into the cabin, while Mr. Black''s speech. " Mr black, I don''t want this girl in here. next time when I came here, I should not see her here or else you have to face the consequences. " Saying that he left the cabin. " I''m sorry Venessa, your fired please leave. " Mr. Black said with a sad expression. I didn''t say anything, I just nodded and left. Tears were flowing through my eyes, I changed my clothes took my car keys and came outside. There I saw remind walking towards his car alone. I ran towards him, I pulled him back and gave a hard slap on his face. He was shocked by my action, " What''s your problem hah!, why do you hate me so much, what did I ever do to you? " I demanded him. " You are a monster !!!!" I shouted, crying. He wasn''t saying anything, he was just looking at me. There was something in his eyes I can''t understand, Is it pity or his felling sorry for me what was it? Angry tears were flowing through my eyes, " Say something, you asshole " I shouted. I was crying hard, " you are a monster, I hate you " With that, I left him there and walked towards my car and left that place.

Chapter 6：Lorenzo Francisco Lorenzo''s p.o.v. I was the world''s most successful multi-billionaire ruthless businessman. I was my family''s golden son. There was nothing in this World that I couldn''t have. I was a mafia leader to a very powerful and ruthless Italian Mafia group. Things run in Los Angeles according to my will. People suffer if they go against me. I want everything to run in my way. This City is mine, and I own half of the city. I''m the king of this city, and I''ll always be. Sitting in my expensive car. I was seeing her coming from school. She is adorable, naive and simple. She wasn''t like that whore''s I fuck. There was innocence in her eyes. I want her, I need her to be mine. I started following her. She was walking towards the park, As I was seeing her, She sat on a bench brooding over something. All of a sudden she started crying, crying really hard, I couldn''t see her crying like that. I moved to her and sat beside her and took my handkerchief. She didn''t notice me at all. After a few seconds, Finally, she noticed me. She was so damn cute while she was crying, She was clearly puzzled to see me there. I gave her my handkerchief; she accepted it and wiped her tears. I was watching her; Everything about her was like a drug to me. The way she sang that day with full of passion was so beautiful. Her angelic voice made me so hard, Her expressions and those gestures she does with those little hands oh god, I crave to use those hands right then and there. She poured all her emotions in that song. It''s very difficult for me to control myself looking at her singing like that. She is an angel; I want to make her mine. Mine To love, only mine. All mine. I''ll do everything to make you mine. Anything. Looking into my eyes, she demanded " Who are you? " I didn''t say anything. You''ll know soon, my kitten. I thought to myself and stood up, kissed her on the forehead and left. After reaching my office, I called Seth Collins, my best buddy and, partner in crime. I told him to watch her and give updates. When I first saw her in that restaurant getting inside and waiting for someone. I couldn''t take my eyes off her, I asked Seth to find everything about her. Later I saw her hugging her friend, I felt Fucking jealous. I desperately need her undivided attention. I want to kill him right now, Seeing my actions Mr wang was confused. I didn''t realize that I was gripping the glass of water. "Mr. Francisco, are you ok?" "I''m fine, continue," I said. He was scared of me so; he obeyed me. After that meeting, I went to my mansion I called Mr.Cent for the meeting. ********* "I want no mistake in this or else I''ll make you pay don''t disappoint me" "Yes, sir" with that, he left. Chapter 7：The Interview The school bell rang signaling the end of the 7th period, which means I am one class away to call it a day. I stepped out of my classroom and headed to my locker, to get the book for the last period which is English literature. As I walked through the halls, I couldn''t help but remember last night''s dream, I couldn''t forget it How am I supposed to face him in the office? After my class I started to pack my things, someone put a paper on my book and rushed towards the door, I couldn''t see who was it, I took that paper. Meet me in the hallway, don''t be late. R.G Was written in cursive writing. I waited until everyone left the classroom, I started walking towards the hallway. When I reached there, I could see that Remond was waiting for me. I was a bit nervous, because of yesterday. He looked at me, " I want to talk to you about something " I didn''t say anything, he still continued to tell, " Whatever I say, must be between us, if anyone else comes to know about this ..... you''ll have to face the consequences. Bending over a bit he said " understood " I nodded stepping back, from now onwards we shall play a game. In which I will give you daily tasks which you must do. If you don''t, then I will punish you. If you complete the tasks then I will reward you. " He said with very Serious expression, " What if! I don''t want to play " " You don''t have any say in this, it''s my game and only I have the say in this so, you must play " Arguing with him, ha its waste of time. Sighing, I nodded my head. "Use words," he said, " Ok I will play, " I said, with a Smirk, he said " good " " I will give you a file tomorrow it has all the do''s, Don''ts, punishments, rewards. You will read it, sign it and bring it to me in the morning " Is he serious, who on earth does this " Do you understand ? " he asked " Yes " "Okay then, bye, see you tomorrow " He turned around and walked towards the exit Suddenly he stopped and started walking back towards me, What does he want to say again, Why can''t he leave me alone? I thought to myself " Kiss me," he said, " What " I exclaimed, " Relax, I was texting your reaction " " You are an ass " out of anger I said, He smirked at me and left. Fucking pig, I went to my car climbed in and left After Reaching my home I parked my car and went inside my house Quickly freshened up, I dressed up taking the file with me, I locked my house and rushed to the L.F ''s building I rushed towards the elevator went in, reached the 95th floor which was the floor where he took the interview. so, I ran towards the room knocked on the door. " Miss Foster wait " the receptionist called me from behind " Mr.Francesco''s office is on the top floor, not here Miss Foster " " Oh . thank you" I smiled at her Then I ran towards the elevator reached the top floor I ran towards the last office knocked on the door " Come in " came he''s a husky deep voice, I quickly pushed the door open and walked inside. Seeing me, he looked at his wristwatch. " You''re 2 min 48 seconds late " He glared at me, " Coming late, on your First day is not good Miss Foster " I lowered my head, " Sorry sir, it won''t happen again" " Did you bring the file? " He asked, " Yes sir " I gave that file to him He took it from my hand, He opened the drawer of his desk and kept it inside. "Did you notice that office over there?" Pointing towards office beside his, " Yes," I said looking at it, "That''s your office, redesign it if you want. And there are files kept on it read everything carefully, take important notes on them and bring them to me " he said with authority in his voice, " Yes, sir," I said, nodding. " You can leave now," he said, I turned around and started walking towards the door " 1 second," he said, I turned towards him, " I didn''t give you your punishment for coming late, did I? " A smirk flickered at the corner of his mouth as he Watched my scared and shaking body. Chapter 8：Erotic Dream Applying my lip balm I was checking myself in the mirror.I''m wearing my black See-through mesh crop top with black skinny jeans My hair was naturally straight I put it down. Earlier beth called me, She asked me to come over for shopping and dinner. I was free so, I said ok. Now here I am getting ready to go but heard a knock on the door I know its beth so I took my shoes and ran towards the door. I opened the door and about to kiss But stopped, haha because it wasn''t beth Guess who Yeah its Remond grey Fucking asshole " What the hell are you doing here ". Glaring at him I asked, He was busy checking me out, I snapped my fingers in front of his face" Look here," I said gesturing him with my hand. He then pushed me back closed the door and again pushed me back to the door, He trapped me with his hands. We both were breathing hard, I was shocked to react. " .. R. R..Remond "I stuttered, " I have to go please m-move," I said with shaking voice There''s something about him that reminds me of Lorenzo I don''t know why We both are very close, our lips are inches far from touching He then bends his head towards my neck I can feel his hot breath on my skin I tried to push him with my hands but he caught them and held them above my head. He''s bending over slowly I was breathing hard my heart was beating furiously against my ribcage. " You should leave r-Reymond " I whispered, I don''t know what he was doing he wasn''t touching my skin nor he was backing away he just laid like that. Maybe he was inhaling my smell or thinking something and forgot our position. I cleared my throat, I think he came to his senses next thing I know he pushed me aside and went outside without saying anything. What the fuck was that? Why did he come to my home? The main point was how did he know where I live? all of a sudden my phone started ringing, Beth''s face was flashing on it I quickly answered it. "Bitch, where are you? come fast " "Yea, IAM on my way " I locked my home and went to both, We did our shopping for nearly 3 hours I think, after that, we had dinner together. "Ok then see you tomorrow bye sweet chicks" We waved at each other I turned around to my car I opened my car door. I noticed far away beside the wall of the restaurant backside. I saw a tall man wearing a black Armani suit doing something I started watching him then I saw a woman there They were kissing no not kissing they are literally eating each other, my God, I can see that soon they''re going to have sex. That woman she was beautiful blonde she was tall slim I think she''s a model, Looking at them I quickly climbed in and drove to my home. After reaching I changed my clothes, went directly towards my bed and fell on it. I closed my eyes but all I see was them, I couldn''t sleep at all. After some time I started to drift into slumber. ***************** I can feel his hot breath on my neck his hands on my waist under my top His placed soft kisses all over my neck his hands started moving towards my breasts very slowly and I couldn''t get enough of him. I turned around pulled him to my lips and kissed him hard he tastes so good my body was all over him there wasn''t space for air to pass through us. I quickly tore his shirt and started touching his abs without breaking our kiss I can feel his manhood touching my Belly he started to open my top I quickly removed it and tossed aside his started massaging my left breast I jumped on him and wrapping my legs on his waist he took me to the bed He threw me on my bed. He climbed up on the bed and he started suking my right breast while massaging the other " ahhhhh...Enzo ..ahhh "I started moaning his name he then slowly put a finger in my slit, started fingering it. After 4 orgasms he quickly removed his pant and pulled out his penis and started guiding it inside me and started thrusting hard .i started shouting his name. I lost my count on it. I was tired and sore but I didn''t care. I didn''t want to sleep. I wanted the ache. I wanted him in me, all the time. His weight on top of me. I wanted to squeeze him in further and further. I wanted to watch his face. I wanted his sweat to drop onto me. I wanted to drop mine on him. I got on top of him. I''d never done it before. I couldn''t really believe it; I was doing this. I was inventing something. I held him and put him in. He felt deeper in me. I''ll never forget it. I was in charge and he liked it. I held his hands down. He pretended he was trying to break free. I let my tits touch his face. He went mad; he bucked. He split me in two. I pushed down. I couldn''t believe it. One of his fingers flicked over my bum. I did it to him. He lifted and heaved. I couldn''t believe it. There was no end to it, no end to the new things. He did something. I copied him. I did something. He did it back. He took me from behind. I pushed back, forced more of him into me. I sucked him. He licked me. I made him come on my stomach. He sucked my toes. **** I waked up suddenly sweating heavily I started to calm down, Did I just have a wet dream about Lorenzo? Chapter 9：The meeting The school bell rang signaling the end of the 7th period, which means I am one class away to call it a day. I stepped out of my classroom and headed to my locker, to get the book for the last period which is English literature.

" Miss Foster wait " the receptionist called me from behind "Oh . thank you" I smiled at her, Then I ran towards the elevator reached the top floor. I ran towards the last office knocked on the door. "Come in" came he''s a husky deep voice, I quickly pushed the door open and walked inside. Seeing me, he looked at his wristwatch. "You''re 2 min 48 seconds late" He glared at me, "Coming late, on your First day is not good Miss Foster" I lowered my head, "Sorry sir, it won''t happen again" "Did you bring the file?" He asked, "Yes sir" I gave that file to him He took it from my hand, He opened the drawer of his desk and kept it inside. "Did you notice that office over there?"

" You can leave now," he said, I turned around and started walking towards the door "1 second," he said, I turned towards him, "I didn''t give you your punishment for coming late, did I?" A smirk flickered at the corner of his mouth as he Watched my scared and shaking body. Chapter 10：Punishment "Come over here" he boldly beckoned his finger. I lowered my gaze to the floor and hesitantly walked towards him and stood in front of his desk. He got up from his chair and walked towards me, I didn''t raise my head until he grabbed my chin up. And that was enough for me to raise the flag of surrendering to his eyes. He stared deep into me, I started thinking about all the dirty things that are going to happen when he said punishments blame it on BDSM books. " Bring black coffee for me " Wai fort What ?... Wait why I am disappointed? I shake all thoughts And nodded, quickly ran towards the elevator. The elevator stopped at floor 75 with a cheerful ding. I stepped outside and I have no idea where was the cafeteria Searching for it, I bumped into someone''s hardback. " Hey, what the fuck," said a man in a black shirt. he was tall, blonde, manly and handsome. " I''m so sorry I didn''t notice you I''m so sorry " "No no its ok, btw I''m Niall woods " he offered his hand towards me. "I''m Venessa foster, nice to meet you " "Finally, you met her " Someone from behind said. Then I saw that the receptionist was coming towards us. " She is the new personal assistant Mr. Francisco " She said to Niall looking at me smiling. " Oh, really? " " Yes " " What are you doing here," the receptionist asked me. "Mr.Francisco wants black coffee, so I was searching for cafeteria but I couldn''t find it " "It''s at the corner over there," she said. "Oh.. thank you " "Btw I''m Alice swan, Nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you too, I need to rush now or else I will be late bye " I started walking towards the cafeteria. " She''s cute Nah " " Yea, she''s cute " I heard them saying. I reached Cafeteria My jaw dropped looking at it. It''s a huge Cafeteria, I walked inside and took a cup and muffins. I quickly reached the elevator stepped inside pressed the button and reached the floor. I walked towards the officer knocked on the door " Come in " I stepped inside the office walked towards the desk and kept the black coffee on it. " Here sir " He didn''t say anything, he just kept his head as he looked over the documents on his desk. "Mr. Francisco," I said biting my bottom lip. "Enzo...., call me Enzo when No one''s around " he stated, never looking up. "Hmm? " Still looking at papers "Would you like to have a muffin, sir, I thought ma....." He cut me off " chocolate? " "Yes " I smiled and gave it to him He picked up the muffin and took a bite. "I need you to go through all of my emails and set up my schedule and calendar " "Yes sir " I walked out and took a deep breath. I relaxed a bit and walked towards my office. Finally, after running here and there at last now, I can actually see my office. I went inside my office my jaw literally dropped, It was beautiful The ceiling windows, the interior was the same as his, Cabinets, couches, mahogany desk and everything are white ceilings, floor, walls. He already set it my desk with a computer, printer, phone, and a Calender. I walked over to put my handbag down which was still with me all this time and set my things down on my desk and pulled the chair out to sit. It was comfortable to spend a large amount of time with my ass planted in it. I took the files which were on the desk, took my notebook and started reading them carefully and making notes of them. It took all my energy to complete them. I quickly stood up took my book with me and started walking towards his office I knocked on the door. " Come in " with Stern voice he said, I stepped inside. " Miss Foster, next time don''t knock just come in " "Okay sir " "I read those files and wrote this notes sir please check them once " I put it on the desk, he instantly took it and started checking them. " Please take a seat, Miss Foster " " Please call me ven or v or ness or ven " looking at him I quickly shut my mouth "Call me whatever you want sir " Fuck that I came wrong, I looked away. I mentally facepalmed at my stupidity. "I will call you Venessa, I like it it''s long and unique " "That''s fine, Enzo " I said in my low voice Suddenly he slammed the book on the desk and walked towards me. I quickly stood up from my chair We were almost chest to chest Or rather head to the chest as I had to look up at him. "Say it again," he said in a low voice which gives me Goosebumps, I''m confused, say what? "Enzo?" I asked, but it came out like a moan. I was backing up, but forgot that there was a chair and about to fall but a strong arm wrapped itself around my waist. And my hands were on his chest. We were so close to each other, Looking into each other''s eyes. I don''t know for how long we were like that, what It would be like if he leaned down a little bit, I just wondered what it would be like to kiss him. But it would never happen Men like him never kisses a woman like me. Out of Nowhere, I remember that kissing scene at the restaurant, him kissing some women. I pushed him but he didn''t budge he tightened his arm making every part of my body touching his. "Enzo ...., Please leave me ..... I...I.I ...have....w... W...work...to do....s..sir" " Kiss me " I looked at him "I''ll not leave until you kiss me " He said with an intense stare, I don''t know what to do in that situation. It''s not like I don''t want to, I want to kiss him but I can''t do that. I gathered up some courage and slowly lifted my head and looked at him. " I..I..I.." I stuttered " If you don''t kiss me in 10 seconds I will kiss you " I started panicking, "10 " Fuck he started. " 9 " Ah What should I do? " 8 " Oh, God! " 7 " " I..i..i " " 6 " " I ..ca..." "5 " "I.. can''t..." "4" "Wait " "3 " "I can''t reach you " I shouted, out of panic. Bending over he continued, "2" I quickly kissed him on his left cheek. " 1" he ended " That was clever " smirking, he said, I looked at him confused. "I asked to kiss on my lips but instead you kissed on my chick " I flushed and lowered my gaze, Chuckling he released me and walked back to his chair. " The notes are good, did you check everything properly " "Yes," I said confidently. "Good, Now pack up, we shall have dinner together " I was about to say No but he cut me off saying. " It one of the punishments for coming late today " I shut my mouth and quickly Walked into my office. Took my things came out, he was waiting outside. We both stepped into the elevator. On the 75th floor, the elevator stopped, doors opened and Niall stepped inside. Looking at me he smiled, " Hi, Ness " looking beside me he dropped it and stepped beside me when I side glanced at Enzo. he was glaring at Niall. If looks could kill, Niall would be dead right now. The temperature was hot in here I was literally sweating although there was an air conditioner in the lift. No one spoke anything I looked at the display its show 21st floor. 20 Fucking floors. After What felt Eternity we reached the ground floor Elevator doors opened Niall was Frist to step out, Enzo grabbed my wrist and started dragging me towards the parking lot. Everyone was looking at us I hate attention. After reaching his car Enzo opened the door, I was hesitating to get in. " If you don''t get inside in 2 seconds, ill lift you up and put you inside " I quickly got inside, he slammed the car door which made me flinch a bit. He climbed inside and started the engine. What made him this angry He''s scary, he always radiates Dominance. He had that kind of take-charge, no- bullshit attitude. In my 18 years, I never meet this intense man before. Suddenly my phone started ringing, I quickly opened my bag and took my phone, I didn''t check who was calling I just clicked the volume button which made it go into silence. I glanced at Enzo, he was deep in thought and unbothered. I turned, When I saw who was calling, Every part of my body started shaking heavily my hands started sweating. Chapter 11：Dinner No...No....this is not happening, what should I do, How did he find me... I was panicking, I tried to control myself but I couldn''t. I didn''t pick up the call, I just switched off my phone. Venessa calm your nerves he can''t find you cool down, I said to myself. I closed my eyes took deep breaths after 15 min until I feel okay. I opened my eyes and relaxed a bit, I glanced at Enzo he was still unbothered. Looking at him calmed down a bit. By looking at him you can say he is a kind of a person who can make people kill themselves by just looking at them. His features are sharp, dark and mysterious. While I was thinking about him I glanced at his hands which are gripping the steering wheel. He''s knuckle turned into white and I noticed there were so many tattoos on them. How come I didn''t notice them before, His nerves were popping up and Tattoos on his fingers speak of trouble, on his left hand''s little finger, has a skull and thick arrow with star lines inside and at corner " blame "was written in beautiful curving writing. On the other finger, there was a big thick scissor and at the left corner of the finger, there was "hate "written in block letters. The middle one has feature dripping black dots below it was eye-catching and beautiful, at the left corner of the finger "love" was written cursive writing on the other there was nothing on it, it was empty without a single tattoo on his thumb, there was a cross symbol which was long, thick and highlighted. On his right hand, there was a single letter on each finger which spells " fear " it was written beautifully and at the tip of the fingers, there was water drop, king crown, Music, dollar symbols they were beautiful to look at. And on his right wrist, there was a tattoo started with a single bent feather as I looked up it disappeared in his shirt sleeves. My curiosity for it has raised a bit I want to see what''s under that sleeves. Then suddenly the car stopped, I looked at my surroundings and noticed we were at " Angelo "It''s an Italian restaurant and very expensive. I have never been there before only heard that it''s very expensive and only rich people come here. He opened his seat belt and stepped out and I started to open my seatbelt. Enzo opened my door and offered his hand, I looked at him and he has a stoic face I sighed, I took his hand and we walked towards the entrance he put his hand on my back and guiding me. He gave keys to the valet and told to park it, We walked inside and half of the staff walked us and greeted us. I can see the fear in their eyes for Enzo, they guided us towards a separate cabin. when I entered inside and I was mesmerized by it. There was a table and chairs which were very neatly kept and a beautiful painting on the wall was beautiful I can''t take my eyes off it. It has a man hugging his women possessively and a woman was resting her head on his chest it was very beautiful. "You''re oder please" came a waitress ogling at Enzo moving her chest up Abit it was disgusting to look at. Enzo behaved like it was Normal for him, she ignored me completely. I never ate Italian in my life, I was waiting for Enzo to order as he heard me he ordered something I didn''t even understand. I was staring at him wanting to start a conversation but I don''t know what to talk With little courage, "Enzo?" He looked at me, "Is everything alright?" He tilted his head sideways and asked "why do you ask?" "You look upset," I said in low voice. "Because I am" "''Can I ask why?" " I don''t want you to talk to Niall..stay far away from him"That was blunt, I was a bit shocked. "Can I ask why?" "No" Its kinda rude "Ok," I said, I don''t want him to be angry it scares the hell out of me. He was surprised by my answer But quickly covered it. A waitress came inside and started serving us, we silently ate our dinner. I opened my purse there was cash and was enough for my meal. A waitress came inside with bill, I quickly opened my purse to pay, " Close it " I looked up at Enzo, " I''ll pay," he said with authority in his voice. "No..no I''ll pay," I said, "Venessa I said I''ll pay" "Enzo I said I''ll pay" "No, I''ll pay" "No, I ''ll pay" He glanced at me and smirked, "Do you want me to kiss you here" I blushed hard, lowered my gaze And didn''t say anything. After paying the bill we reached his car. He opened the car door, I climbed in. He climbed in and started the engine, He was smiling all this while. I was annoyed by his smile, " Stop smiling Enzo " I said in an angry tone. "What was funny " "What was funny" "Your face, it was red like tomato" He started laughing louder, hitting his thighs, "You should not say those things outside like that," I said shyly. "If it makes you like that I will say a lot more things than that " My face must be a darker shade of red by now. He stopped the car I looked at him confused. He gestured me look at something with his thick eyebrows. When I saw, it''s my house. I turned at him, smiled "''Thank you for dropping me Enzo, Good night " "Good night Venessa" he smiled at me, I got out and walked towards my home, I turned around and waved at him. He waved back. I opened my main door and entered my house, locked it again. I smiled at events happened today with Enzo. I was exhausted, so I took a shower changed into my Mickey mouse oversized t-shirt and my night shorts. Feeling exhausted I climbed my bed and started to sleep. I was about sleep peacefully but I heard a knock on the door. I groaned and slowly got up walked to my door. I opened it and rubbed my eyes to see clearly who was there. Smirking at me, he said "Hello, my Nessa" how did he find me? Somebody, please save me, please... Chapter 12：Savior Everything flashed through my mind, every single detail of his actions, I was shivering in fear. "W..what are y..you d..doing here?"I asked while taking a step back from the door and tightly gripping the handle. Stepping inside, "you see you didn''t answer my call, so I thought why not come and see you...do you really think I''ll leave you my Nesse, do you remember who Am I or? Should I make you? " Stepping back, "please... leave me," I said tears started rolling in my eyes. "Aww my sweet little pet; Are you scared of me, are you scared of daddy...hah?" "Please leave me... please" "Oh No No No Never" Griping my chin "did you forget who you belong to hah?... Did you forget me my pet " he started kissing my neck, "Did you miss my touch huh? Did you miss my lips on your skin? Answer me my pet." I pushed him, but he was so strong that I couldn''t even make him move. I quickly bit down on his shoulder until I can taste blood. He released me and started shouting "Ah! Leave it...Ah..." I pushed me with all my strength he fell down on the floor. I ran towards my bedroom and closed the door and locked it. I quickly searched for my handbag; it was lying on my table. I took my bag and ran into my washroom and locked it. "Hiding from me again, my pet. Are we doing this game again" I can hear him say from my bedroom door. The sound of the opening of my bedroom door was loud and clear to hear from where I''m standing. "You *bang* cant * bang* hide*bang * from * bang* me" I quickly opened my bag with my shaking hands and started searching for my phone. *Bang*bang *bang *bang* bang* I started sobbing. "Please please please please please please please please please please be there be their phone" I turned my bag upside down started to shake it, everything fell from my bag. I sat down on the floor and searched for my phone, but I couldn''t find it. I was breathing hard and can hear he had broken my bedroom door. "Where are you Nesse? Hiding from me is just waste of time you can''t fucking hide from me Nesse" I quickly stood up and tiptoed towards my bathtub and sat down at the corner of my bathtub and closed the curtains. I closed my mouth with my hands tightly. Flashback "Please please, I will not do that again, please," I was pleading him. He gripped my hair making me inches away from his lips. "I told you not to talk to them but you bitch never wants to listen ha, you want them to touch you my little pet, you want them to kiss you, fuck you that''s why you go to them wanting for fucks don''t you bitch." "No no no, I am not like that they''re just my friends please listen to me," I said crying hard. He pushed me; I fell flat on the floor. He unbuckled his belt and started walking towards me with a wicked smirk. "Please please don''t hurt me, please." Flashback ended Crying hard I tried to forget those nightmares. I snapped to reality when I heard him breaking my washroom door. I started panicking. God help me, somebody, please help me, please. * Bang* I flinched at the sound of my door. I can hear his footsteps coming straight towards me. I was breathing hard. His footsteps suddenly stopped and started to go in another direction. Suddenly he opened the curtains. "Gotcha," I screamed. He caught me by my hair and pulled me towards my bed. "You think you can hide from me, you ungrateful bitch." I threw me on my bed. "I told you, your virginity would be mine your body everything is mine. After searching for you for years, you are here! Hiding like a cute little kitten" He climbed up on me pinned my hands above my head. "Your body is mine only mine not even yours everything belongs to me," he said sucking my neck. His left hand was holding my hands above my head and his right hand started to go inside my t-shirt and started touching my belly button. "Please leave me alone" I started sobbing. But he ignored my sob completely. Please, somebody, save me. Somebody I was sobbing struggling to move away from him. But his body weight tons. "Venessa " I heard someone calling me. I tried to reply but he quickly closed my mouth with his big hands And he dragged me with him towards my window curtains and offed the lights. "Venessa, where are you?" I can hear footsteps coming towards my bedroom. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. Please look here please please please please I started to pray. Footsteps came into the bedroom, Roaming around and it went outside again. I felt shattered, I started to lose hope. Nobody can save me from him. Nobody. Suddenly curtains opened widely, When I looked up and I saw Lorenzo''s beautiful face. He was very angry, He grabbed his collar dragged him from me and started punching him like a wild animal. I just stood there crying like a kid. After few seconds cops came in, They pulled Enzo from him. It was a very hard task for them. He was laying on the ground unconscious; they took him out. We walked out of my house. They were taking care of him, Enzo talking furiously to the cops, I was numb, I couldn''t feel anything; nothing was making sense to me. I don''t know where I was walking, but I didn''t stop. I wanted to release my anger, disappointment with everything. It was a busy street with cars, buses, and crowded. I saw on my left there was a band performing on the road but no one was there to hear them. No audience, everyone was busy in their phones and works. No one was noticing them. I walked towards them; The main vocalist was a man with, cute face, and a lean body. I walked towards him and he immediately handed his mike over to me. I don''t know why, but he didn''t say anything to me he just handed over his mic to me maybe he can see that I was not in good condition. I gripped the mic tightly took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Started to sing while The band joined too Song:- On my way. Lyrics, (My eyes were shut but of those painful memories played in front of me, All that pain which I buried deep down in my heart. My parents, Abuse, Deaths, **** and my heart clenched hard remembering them.) Song ended. I can feel my tears flowing through my eyes; I opened my eyes and quickly wiped my tears. We were surrounded by the crowd and everyone were giving a round of applause to our performance, I turned around quickly ran out of that place. When I reached a shopping mall, I took a turn from there, but someone caught my wrist and spun me around. Chapter 13：You!? He was looking at me with a frown on his face; I tried to free my hand but his grip was strong. He slowly hesitantly raised his hand and wiped my tears. He moved his hand to my cheek and asked, "What happen? Why are you crying?". I didn''t say anything just stood there like a statue, crying like a kid. "If you don''t want to say then it''s ok, I won''t force you, you can use my shoulders if you want I don''t mind." And I burst into loud sobs. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly, Then suddenly I remembered who he was and pushed him away from me. "You..." pointing my finger at him "You Aron Norwood... You are one of Remond''s friends who hates me a lot; everyone in your group does, you hate me too so don''t act. I know you''ll hurt me too you all are monsters" I yelled out, My tears suddenly turned into angry tears. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. I started hitting him on his chest. "Leave me you monster, I hate you leave me," I have cried my eyes out every single person in my life hurts me at the end, people I loved left me alone in this cruel world, my life is filled with tears and sorrow, I have no one else other than my grandmother. "Shh it''s okay it''s okay," he said smoothly. After calming myself, I stepped away from him. I wiped my tears and looked at him, but he was looking somewhere else when I turned my head I see Enzo standing there looking at me with a look on his face which I can''t understand. he then turned towards Aron with a normal serious expression. They looked at each other for a few minutes it was like they were talking to each other through their eyes. Enzo turned towards me and grabbed my hand without saying a word started walking, pulling me with him. I turned back and smiled at Aron, He smiled back. Enzo took me to his car and started driving, we both were in comfortable silence no one spoke a word. I was looking outside watching people walking on the streets. ********** When I opened my eyes I First noticed was a teddy bear on a black couch, it was so cute I love teddy bears so much my father used to bring a teddy bear, It has a small ribbon tied around its neck and it has a heart shape under its right arm, in that heart shape there was another small heart and on its legs, there were love symbols it was like cats paw, it was so cute I quickly got up from my bed took that teddy bear. After nuzzling into the teddy bear I looked up smiling like a kid. I see Enzo standing at the door with his both hands in his pockets he was wearing a black button-up shirt with gray pants. He''s smoking hot and sexy, he was looking at me with a smirk on his face. Oh god!, he caught me checking him out, This is so embarrassing. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Watching you!" he said, With confusion on his face. I looked around and noticed it wasn''t my room " where am I? " "My house, you slept in my car last night" "Oh" I looked at my clothes and noticed I was on my last nightclothes. "Um..... what''s the time now? " "7:00" "I have to go to school; Enzo can you drop me at my house if you don''t mind, I left my car at the office last night" "On one condition," he said with a smirk. Stepping towards me, he said, "you have to make breakfast for us," I smiled and said "ok." He was a bit taken aback with my smile. "Ok fresh up and come downstairs, there are clothes in the wardrobe, wear them and get ready I''ll directly take you school" "But my bag is at home I can''t go without them." "I''ll send my driver to pick them." I signed because argument with him is useless "Ok." "Ok" he turned and closed the doors I quickly went inside the washroom and did my morning routine. I took a shower and came into the bedroom and walked towards the wardrobe; I opened it and saw women''s clothes I checked everything and decided to wear a white ribbed knit crop top and black skinny jeans. I combed my hair, put my lip balm, and came outside of the room; it was a big house there were so many rooms in here I was in the second one, I walked into a spacious living room and glass wall at the far end and brown leather couches. When I stepped down from the stairs, I saw Enzo sitting on the sofa typing something on his laptop. The sunlight streamed through the window behind him, somehow amplifying his charismatic and Elegant demeanor, like a greek god. I licked my dry lips suddenly it was so hot in here it was suffocating me. "Done checking me out?" he said, still looking at his laptop. "I..No...No... I wasn''t..." He looked up from his laptop, raised his left eyebrow. "Really?" "...Yes, "I said and into the kitchen. The kitchen was modern and big. I quickly did pancakes and orange juice for both of us. "Enzo" I called him out. "Ha" "Breakfast is ready" "Coming" I set them on the dining table and sat down on the chair, then Enzo came and sat in front of me, We ate in comfortable silence. Later, Enzo took his coat and walked towards me grabbed my wrist and we walked towards his car. A tall bulky man came towards us and gave my bag to me; I took it from him and thanked him. We walked out of the house, out of curiosity I turned around to see the house. My jaw literally dropped, It was a freaking mansion, it was a huge Italian mansion it was beautiful. It''s white, three floors mansions, there was a huge swimming pool area on its left side and garden on its right side. It was beautiful to look at. We walked towards his car; his driver opened his car door, Enzo turned and lead me in first and he climbed in. We reached my school area, "Please stop here," I said. Enzo turned to me with a questioning look "If everyone sees me with you, they''ll create unnecessary rumors" He nodded and signaled to his driver through the mirror. He stopped the car, and I quickly opened the car door, Enzo caught my wrist and pulled me towards him. Our bodies were so close, our faces were mere inches away from each other. Suddenly he kissed me on my cheek and said," see you at the office, take care ." I nodded and quickly stepped out of his car and started walking towards school without turning back. I was blushing hard, and I walked towards my locker, opened my locker and took my things and closed it. I touched my cheek where he kissed me and smiled at the events. I started walking towards my classroom, but suddenly someone came into my way. When I looked up, my face dropped and a frown made its way on my face. Chapter 14：Chica, Task 1 I quickly pulled my hand out her grip; they started to laugh at me. "Oh look at her face... Aww, you''re blushing," Casee asked, "Why are you blushing baby, Did you do something naughty huh?" Alessa said. I tried to move past them but they blocked my way. "Oh No, where are you going? don''t you like us?" Alessa asked gripping my chin, I turned my head aside. I pushed them slightly and walked past them, but I didn''t see casee putting her leg in my way, I Tripped over her leg and my knee hit the floor also my head on the chair which was placed at the wall, I screamed with unbearable pain. It hurts like a bitch, they were laughing at me. I tried to stand up but, I couldn''t even feel my legs down from the knee. My failing attempts to get up made them laugh more at me. "Ohh! Are you crying v," Alessa asked. Suddenly Casee grabbed my hair made me face her. "If you try to talk to Remond again, I''ll make your life hell; He''s mine get that in your thick head bitch," she said and pushed my head back. Helplessness in my heart turned into warm tears and falling down my eyes. I tried to stand up again, but my knees weren''t helping at all. "Here," someone said. I looked up into a pair of babies Brown eyes. "Come on, you''ll be late to class" I quickly took his hand and stood up; he put his other hand on my waist so that I could walk. "Thank you, Aron," I said looking at him. He didn''t say anything not even smiled. He took me to the medical center, we entered inside, he made to sit on the bed. "Miss George, can you look at her she fell down and injured her knee and head." "Yes, I will," Miss George said. She dressed my injuries. I had no serious injuries other than the killing pain in my head and knees, she band-aids my both knees and gives me painkillers. All this time Aron was with me holding my hand; It was a sweet gesture and I liked it. "Miss Foster please take some good care of your legs and head," Miss George said and smiled at me. "Ok " "Come on" Aron helped me to get up and we walked out. "Do you want to go to class?" He asked with concern in his eyes. "Yes, I can''t miss my class" "Ok then," he said. "Aron, I can walk by myself, there''s no pain in my knee anymore" "Are you sure?" he asked. I nodded "ok then see you later bye" He waved at me and went to his class. I slowly walked to my class, I was 15 min late to class and I was not in a position to go to class right now but if I go somewhere else, I was pretty sure I will cry my eyes out for god knows how long, I had cried enough yesterday. I had no energy to cry even... So, I entered my class. Mr. Finn was taking the class, Mr. Finn is a good teacher. He is my English teacher, 45 years old, married and had two kids A boy and A girl. He''s very strict with students, never accepts irresponsible behavior at all. When he saw me, he was very serious and I was literally Shivering under his gaze. "Why are you late?" He simply asked, "I...I..."I shuttered. "Since this is your first time, I will let you come to Miss foster... Please go and sit without wasting our time further" "Thank you, sir," I said in low voice, looking at my feet. Everyone was staring at me; I felt really awkward. I walked towards my seat which was at the window in the last 2nd row. "Miss Foster what happened to your head? " he asked. I was wearing jeans, so bandages on my knees weren''t visible, but a band-aid on my head was visible. It was small, though. If I tell him about what those bitches did with me, they''ll surely get a suspension for a week and I don''t want it to happen, because after suspension when they came back I''m pretty sure they''ll not leave me alone. "I fell down while I was running to the class," I said, "Are you ok now? "Yes sir" "Ok if you say so, let''s continue the class." I focused fully on the class. At the end of the class Mr. Finn said, "Tomorrow I''ll give you a new assignment on my new chapter so, I need everyone to come early to the classroom and don''t forget to bring textbooks." With that, he left the class. I sighed...and rested my head on the table I felt someone''s body beside me; I turned my head to see who''s that and I regretted doing that. Because it''s that idiot Remond, I quickly turned my head He didn''t say anything, and I didn''t say anything. Then after a few seconds Miss Melendez came to the classroom, Everyone greeted her. "Good morning student''s " she greeted us back. She then started the class. Suddenly Remond pinched me on my wrist; I startled by it. I pinched him back, and he pinched me again and I pinched him back it continued until Miss Melendez sent us out. Now we''re standing outside side by side. Out of frustration, I stumped on his feet. "Owe, why did you do that stupid?" "Because of you I got the punishment," I said, "That''s bloody cool," he said. I glared at him. He didn''t say anything and started laughing, looking at him laugh like that, I started laughing too. He turned back, hitting on the wall with his hands he laughed at our situation. I was laughing hard too, after a few minutes we stopped laughing. He cleared his throat. "So, you have a task to do. today" I looked at him confused. "The game we talked about that day, it will start from today. You have to do every task I give if Not there will be punishments." "Okay," I said because I have other choices but to say this. "Today''s task is you''ll follow Seth and note every single thing he does and every single person he meets today, You will show that notes to Me tomorrow morning before our class. If you don''t then, you''ll have a punishment for it. " It was a bit scary when he said punishment. "How will I attend classes if I follow him all the time and how will I go to work, I can''t do this it''s literally stalking him! What if he saw me following him and complain about me to the principal, No No I can''t do this Remond grey " I said, "I don''t care, do whatever you want but if you don''t do this..." Leaning over me, "You''ll have to face the consequences" Then the bell rang indicating its break Time. "Your time starts now, Chica" He winked at me and walked towards the playground. Chica:- cutie I started searching for Seth. Seth Adams is one of The four; He''s tall, Attractive, Hot. He got blue eyes, square Sharp jawline, pointed nose, thick eyebrows, thin pink lips. In my school The football team is like the heart of the system, Not only they are players, but also talented, and not to mention so damn hot. But The four is everyone''s Love''s. They get everyone''s attention, girls Drool over them all the time. All four of them are from England. They got this sexy British accent, All four of them are major Playboy''s. But from what I know Seth doesn''t ignore the attention he gets to like the rest of them does. I couldn''t find Seth anywhere so why to waste my time on it. I want to complete my homework on time so, I took my bag with me and went to the library. I walked to my favorite spot in the library; it was at the end of the library, students normally don''t come to this part of the library, it''s a perfect place for me to do my work without interruption. I got to finish my homework, because of yesterday''s events I couldn''t complete my home works, I kept my legs on the chair in front of me and made myself comfortable enough to begin my work. It took nearly 2 hours for me to complete my works; I felt really hungry, I looked at my wristwatch it shows 1 pm, No wonder I''m this hungry. I took my water bottle to drink some water, but it was empty, So I took my water bottle to refill it. As I was walking towards the water bottle filling station, I noticed at the corner where no-one can see properly as it was covered with a huge column, I saw someone sat. Out of curiosity, I walked a bit closer to see who''s that without getting his attention, I went towards the bookshelf where I can have a closer look at him, without him noticing. It was Seth!!! It is rare to see one of the four at the library, usually, they don''t attend class much, so one of them being in the library is strange, I have never seen any of them in the library before. I quickly ran towards my table, took my book and pen with me. I quickly sat on a table opposite him and started writing about him. He was reading a novel called Fine line, with a slight smile on his lips. I noticed he had a dimpled smile; it was cute. He had coffee on his side, and he was sipping it occasionally while reading the novel. Suddenly I remembered that day when I got a gift in which there was a novel. I forgot to read it; I have to read it after going home and I have to find out who sent that to me. Suddenly Seth''s phone started ringing, and he took his phone and answered it. I can actually hear they''re conversation from where I am sitting. " Hola...Yea...Huh... I AM...Ok... Brilliant...See ya..." He hangs up the call. He then closed that book and stood up, unknowingly I stood up too. He walked towards the bookshelf and kept the book in his hand, he then started to see some books on the shelf. He took a book called "blood Fire", I know that book it''s a supernatural book about dragons. He started reading it, then bell started ringing indicating its lunchtime. He stood up from his chair kept that book there on the table and started walking towards the door. I quickly took my things with a book in my hands, and I started following him. He was walking towards the cafeteria, and I was following him without him noticing, he walked straight to the table where Aron, Remond was sitting another one wasn''t there. I sat down in my usual place and watching them silently. "Hey v" beth came to me and sat down on the chair. "Hey," I replied. "Where were you in the morning? And what happened to your head? " "I fell down, not a big wound it''s small and I''m ok now." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I''m ok, chill" "Ok... I heard that you got fired from the restaurant is it true?" I signed, "yes I got fired, but no problem I got another job." "when and why didn''t you tell me, you bitch" "I forgot sorry." "Its okay Next time do not forget to tell anything to me." " Ok," I said everything, How I got fired, How I got another job everything. "What you''re working at L.f groups" "Yes " "As a personal assistant to Lorenzo Francisco," she asked, with surprise. "Yes" "Oh My God" "Huh..what happens? " I asked. It is weird, she never reacted like this before. "Do you know who he Is?" "No, I just meet him twice outside before the interview" She put her elbows on the table and rested her head on her hands. "When? details please?" She asked with curiosity. I told her about our encounters. "Wow...That was cinematic" I blushed. "Are you blushing?" She asked, leaning towards me. "N..N.No No at all why will I blush" " Your face says differently, though " I didn''t say anything. "Do you know about him?" "Not much" "Venessa is a Ruthless businessman, and he is very popular in Los Angeles. He owns half of the city every popular mall, restaurants, banks, clubs, schools he owns Everything. His family is very rich and powerful everything about him and his family in newspapers is what he allows them to write. He is into mafia too; everyone fears him so much that nothing happens here without his knowledge. You should be very careful with him Ven, try to be in his good books, he has connections all over the world" I just nodded at her. "And he is a womanizer too," We both laughed at that part. We chatted and ate our lunch then the bell rang indicating that the break is over. "Ok then bye, see you after school take care" "Bye beth" We waved at each other and the whole day I was following Seth and noted every single thing he does. After our 7th period, Seth went out of the class, and I followed him. He was walking on the corridor and suddenly someone pulled him inside an empty room, I ran towards that room. I couldn''t hear anything from that room, but suddenly I heard some strange whisper. It became louder and louder and guess what! There was heavy moaning and grunting sounds were coming out of that room. Shit, I ran from there and went inside a washroom. This is so awkward. After 5 mins I heard the door of the classroom open and peeped through the door and saw Alessa coming out. Oh my god, these two were fucking each other, how long has this been going on. Later after few seconds Seth came outside and started walking towards football ground, I followed him quietly. He went inside the changing room and changed his clothes, He then came outside and started running around the ground. After a few minutes, the bell rung, and everyone started coming towards the football ground. Remond, Aron joined Seth and started playing football, everyone was cheering them. They were playing aggressively, it was so hot to look at. After the game, I came back to my locker took my things and came outside. Beth was waiting for me outside; We were talking about her classes and suddenly I remembered that I forgot my book in the classroom. "Beth, you go I forgot my book in the classroom I''ll take it and join you at the cafe" "Ok come fast" "Ok" I turned and started walking towards my classroom, when I reached there I saw Seth, Aron, Remond were talking to each other very seriously. When they saw me, they quickly changed the topic; it was suspicious. I quickly went inside the classroom, took my book and walked outside. What were they talking about and why did they change the topic when they saw me? But I heard Remond say. "He''s dangerous for her" Who is dangerous for whom? Chapter 15：His Ignorance Walking towards my car, I couldn''t take those words out of my head. Why did he say that, who was he referring to? When I reached the parking lot, I forgot that my car was at the office. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and about to call beth, but there was an incoming call from an unknown number. I answered it, "Hello." "I''m waiting, come fast" he hangs up without even listening to me. It was Enzo; I can recognize his husky voice. I looked around to see where he was, then I saw a black Lamborghini waiting silently at the corner. I walked there, opened the door and climbed in. I looked at Enzo; he was looking at someone else. I looked at the direction he was looking at and saw Aron and Remond talking to each other, he started the car and took us to his mansion. Suddenly I remembered everything beth said about Enzo. What she said about him scared the hell out of me. But when I spend time with Enzo, I don''t feel like that. I''m not scared of him anymore; he saved me from that monster and didn''t even ask me about him. He gave me my space, I don''t think he''s dangerous, He was kind to me. I smiled at that thought. Maybe he wasn''t kind towards anyone, but he was kind towards me, I liked it. We reached inside his mansion, he parked his car in his garage and we walked inside. "Vennesa there is no work at the office today, so you can stay at home and do your homework," he said, typing something on his phone. Maybe I''m overthinking, he just helped me and maybe he doesn''t feel the way I feel for him. I sighed and said, "okay, then I will go back to my house." "No, your house is not safe to stay here. I''ll call my driver and tell him to bring your things; You stay here and No Answer required. " He said and went to his office without even glancing at me. I went to the room where I stayed yesterday and took a shower, wore my clothes. I was feeling hungry so, I went into the kitchen and prepared a pancake with coffee. After a few minutes, while I was eating Enzo''s driver came to me. "Miss fosters, do you need anything from your house," I thought for a second and remembered that novel which I decided to read today. "What''s your name, sir" "Paul Davis ma''am" "Paul, you can call me Venessa" He nodded, I smiled at him. "Ok, I want to take some things from my house I''ll come too" "Uh... Venessa Mr. Francisco said not to take you there even if you ask" How did he know that I would ask him to take me there? "Then I''ll call you and tell what to bring ok," He said ok and walked towards the car. After a few minutes, he called me, I told him to bring my books, my clothes, and some other things. He brought them to me; I carried them and put them in my room. I took that book from the box and sat down on the bed. I opened the book and started reading it. It took 3 hours to complete that book, it was a beautiful love story I loved it. When I closed it, A letter slipped from it. I opened it; it was the same letter which was kept inside the gift that day. I brushed my fingers over the letters L.F. I quickly recognized them. " L.f..... Lorenzo Francesco," I said out to myself. I smiled." he sent this to me," I said turning the book. I took the book with me and ran towards his office, but I couldn''t find it. It was fucking difficult to find; this mansion is like a maze. Suddenly I bumped into someone. "Sorry ma''am" she was a lady maybe in her 40s. "It okay, can you tell me where''s Enzo''s office?" I asked impatiently. "Downstairs at the right corner," I ran downstairs and knocked on the door. "Come in" I stepped inside smiling like a kid, I slowly walked towards his desk. His office was modern and beautiful. It was huge there was a couch and a sofa, a big bookshelf and a desk. He wasn''t looking at me; his head was buried in his laptop. "Enzo" I called out. "What do you want?" He asked harshly. My smile quickly dropped and a frown made its way. I lowered my gaze. "Did you...send this to me?" I asked in a low tone. He looked at the book in my hands for a minute and looked at me. "Yes, I sent them to every woman I like don''t flatter yourself." I was hurt by his words, tears were rolling in my eyes. I slowly turned towards the door. " Venessa " he called me out; I turned towards him. He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. Tears were flowing through my eyes. "Venessa, I''m sorry I didn''t mean to say that" he tried to touch my face. I stepped back and looked at him with tears in my eyes; I shook my head and ran towards my room. After a few minutes, Enzo knocked on the door "Venessa," I didn''t answer, I just sat there like a statue. This is all my fault. I thought he liked me, but he doesn''t, how am I this stupid to think he likes me. Suddenly Enzo burst into my room, he was very angry and scary. He walked towards my bed and sat down at the edge near me; we stared at each other as if it was a silent argument until tears arose in my eyes and found myself crying like a baby. "Why" I hiccuped, tears were rolling down from my cheek. He didn''t say anything; he just stared at me. "Why did you ignore me?" I asked hiccuping. "Because I love you, I don''t want to drag you into my world." I was happy to hear it because I think I love him too. From the day when I saw him, I couldn''t forget him; He was in my mind all the time. He leaned on a little closer; our foreheads were touching. We were breathing hard, He pulled my face and our lips met causing my body to flush with heat. His lips were soft tastes like cherries and midnights under turning galaxies, I closed my eyes and all I could feel was him. He cupped my cheek and pulled me on his lap. It was slow and soft. His hands moved below my ears, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled. My hands were around his neck, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us. I could feel his heart beating rapidly against my chest; he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips and, at my grant of access, delved inside my mouth. He moved his hand from my chick to the back of my head, adding more pressure and deepening the kiss. As we parted, I saw his eyes sparkle and lips curve up into a smile and I couldn''t help but smile back. "I love you," he said, kissing my forehead. He stood up and left my room leaving me breathless. Chapter 16：Possession Lorenzo''s P.O.V. I was sitting in my office staring at the pictures on my desk, in that photo my Venessa was laughing with Remond outside the classroom. I wanted to kill him right now; I want her to laugh with me like that, Not with him. Someone knocked on the door, "come in." "Sir, we got a call from the Canadians to sign your new agreement with them," my secretary informed me. "Arrange a meeting with the day after tomorrow, and make sure to arrange a good business lunch after that meeting." "Okay sir" "And tell Rey to meet me tonight at 8." "Okay sir" When I first saw vennesa, I put all my men around her. Watching what she does, who she meets, They informed me everything about her. I looked at my limited edition Rolex watch, its showing 4:00 Pm. I quickly called my track team; They are the ones watching My little women every second. "Yes, sir" James, head of the track team answered. He''s been working for me for 9 years. He is the most loyal person including my best friend Seth Collin. "Where is she?" I asked, "Sir, Miss Foster is at school," "Tells me everything, from Morning till now" "Yes sir, Miss Foster got bullied by Miss Casey Almond and Miss Alyssa black, she got injured by them. Mr. Aron Norwood helped her by taking her to the medical center in school and dropped her in class. She got punishment for disturbing the class with Remond, both had a conversation outside the classroom. After that she went to the library and did her work, later we saw her following Seth Adams all day. Right now she''s talking to her best friend beth outside the school Sir" "Watch her till I come there." "Ok sir" I stood up, took my coat and walked out of the building. I drove to her school and waited for her at the corner. I called her and informed that I was waiting. I saw her walking towards my car, I love this angel, I didn''t recognize this feeling at the beginning but being with her, without touching her is impossible for me, she was like a drug to me. Her innocence always draws me to her. I have to make her mine at any cost, bringing her into my world is dangerous. I have so many enemies waiting for a chance to hurt me. I have to keep her safe at any cost, That''s the reason why I put half of my men around her watching her all the time. I want her to be with me all the time; I''m a very possessive man and she is my possession. She climbed inside the car; I noticed the band-aid on her forehead. My blood boiled someone had hurt her, I''ll make them pay for it. Messing with my women is messing with me. I started my car; I turned my head towards the road and saw Remond and Aron talking to each other, I was quite impressed with Remond, he''s doing great. He''s not disappointing me. ****** While I was driving, I can feel her looking at me. But I choose to ignore it, it''s good for her. If I look at her, it''s difficult for me to control myself. Just by looking at her does things to me, so I ignored her not completely but I didn''t look at her. I knew she was hurt, but I have to do it for her sake. If any of my enemies know that she''s related to me, they''ll try to use her against me. She''s my weakness; I can''t let anything happen to her, She''s mine. I was doing my work in my office at my home, and I heard a knock on the door. I see my little woman was holding the book, which I gave her at our first encounter. That after her singing I called Seth to ask what she likes and dislikes, he said every single thing. So I called my men and told him to bring a good book. I''m not into novels so; I don''t know much. Later that day he got me a novel, and I packed it myself and wrote my favorite quote on a piece of paper and kept it inside that gift. My men took photos of her reaction and sent them to me, and she was very happy. I will do anything to make her happy. I snapped back to reality by my little women''s question. "Yes, I sent them to every woman I like, don''t flatter yourself by it." I saw the hurt in her eyes, I have to be rude to her. I have no other choice if she starts to feel for me. It will be difficult for me to stay away from her, tears were rolling in her eyes. She was slowly turned towards the door. I stopped her, I can''t fucking control myself. I apologized to her, but she rejected it and ran out of my office. I started pacing restlessly; I don''t want her to cry. "Fuck this. I love her. I''ll kill them all who comes between us" I walked towards her room and knocked on the door, she didn''t respond. I was pacing back and forth in anger, waiting for her to open this Fucking door. I burst into her room in anger, and she flinched at my sudden entry. Looking at tears strained face my face softened a bit. I walked towards her and sat down at the edge near her, and we had a staring battle between us like, we were arguing with each other. Tearing started flowing through her eyes, she asked me "why" hiccuping like a cute little baby. I said."I love her." Looking at her tears strained face I couldn''t control myself. And we kissed, it was beautiful. I have kissed many women in my life but nothing felt like this before, it was magical, her soft lips taste like honey. I left her there, because If I stay there for a minute. I would have fucked her hard until she couldn''t walk for days. I walked towards my office at my mansion. I can''t take her out of my mind. It''s like her picture was tattooed inside my brain. As I walked to my desk my phone started ringing. Seth''s face was flashing on it, I answered it. "Hello" "Mate, there''s a problem" "What''s that?" "Its Nikolai Vasiliev" "What did he do this time?" "Nothing" "Then, what''s the problem?" "He''s here in Los Angeles, and I''ve seen him in our bar with some Russians. I think he''s planning something Mate" "He knows what happens when he comes against me...Anyway keep an eye on him" "Ok, and Mate What about That Casey and Alyssa. They bullied vennesa, did you see her wounds? " "Yes, I''ve seen they''ve been treated well; They''ll heal. And you take care of those two, Make them suffer for what they''ve done" "Ok" I hang up the call. I want to see her again; I don''t have the energy to stop myself now. She''s mine; she will be mine even if she likes it or not. I walked back to her room, but she wasn''t there. I walked downstairs, and I see her in my kitchen doing pancakes. Moving her black hair from her shoulder, she grabbed them and tied them in a messy bun, revealing her neck, and few strands of her hair were falling back on her forehead making her look more alluring. She was completely engrossed in her cooking. This type of beautiful thing is nothing but the pleasure of the eye and torture to manhood, which gets excited each time she comes close to me. She jumped a bit looking at me, Fuck she so cute. Calming herself she said, "You scared the hell out of me, Enzo." I smirked and walked towards her, "What are you doing?" "Pancakes, do you want to eat?" "Yes" After having pancakes together, I walked towards my office, and my phone started ringing. I answered it. "Sir, Mr. Grey arrived at the restaurant," My secretary informed me. "Ok, I''m coming," I said and hang up. I walked towards my car, climbed in and drove to the restaurant. After reaching the restaurant, I parked my car and walked inside. Seeing me the staff walked towards me, fear was evident in their eyes. I like it when people fear me, show there obedience. My little woman is also so obedient to me, and I like it the most in her. "Mr. Francisco, please come" The manager welcomed me inside. I walked towards the table and sat down my bodyguards were around me. I signaled them to go with my fingers. They are around me all the time when I''m with my little women they watch us from far. I knew she would be scared, and she doesn''t like attention much, that was the reason she never noticed my bodyguards. I looked at the man sitting in front of me, smiling like a kid. "cousin," he said, grinning. "Remond Grey" Chapter 17：King Of Business Sitting opposite to my cousin, I was having my favorite black coffee. He was nervous, looking at him I can easily say it. He has a habit of tapping his finger if he''s nervous, Not my mistake people are always nervous in front of me. "How''s it going?" I asked in a serious note. "Everything is going well." "Huh... I heard you were trying to get close to my woman." "N...No.No cousin, I was only doing what you were telling me to do, I wasn''t going close to her" "You better not, she''s mine," I said while taking a sip. "And Remond, your father''s company is under Harold.Inc and Harold.Inc under me. So you know what happens if you cross your limits... cousin," He gulped at my words; I smirked at his reaction. "Whatever offers your father is getting, is because I told them to offer him, you know very well why I ordered them to?" I said calmly taking a sip of my coffee. "I know that cousin, I never disappointed you in anything, I will never do things that disappoint you." I didn''t give a reaction, but I was happy That he was still afraid of me. "Good" ************ Venessa''s p.o.v. I was cleaning my bedroom; I was bored, so thought to clean my room and set things neatly. Suddenly someone wrapped their hands around me, and I instantly recognized his smell. He is kissing my shoulder to my neck to my ear. "What are you doing?" he asked in his husky deep voice. "Cleaning my room," I said, breathing hard. He turned me around and kissed me; my hands automatically reached his neck. He sucked my lower lip asking for entrance; I opened my mouth and Granted him. Our tongues were battling with each other. It was a very intense feeling I ever had. He lifts me up; I wrapped my legs around his waist. He took me towards my bed still not breaking the kiss; he placed me on my bed. He pushed me back and climbed up on me; he bends down and kissed me hard. He then removed my top, started kissing at the nape of my neck, then he started kissing my jawline and my neck bone. "Ah...Enzo,"I whispered. He started kissing my neck bone, and he reached down to my right breast. He stopped and looked at me, our eyes locked for a second and he reached my bra strap removed it from my body. He was staring at my bare breasts; I can see his eyes turned into a darker shade of green. There was pure lust in his eyes, I was blushing so hard, I covered my breasts with my hands. He Removed my hands and Glared at me "Don''t you dare cover them from me" he threatened me. He bends down and started sucking my right breast; his hand grabbed my left breast. He looked up at me while biting my nipple, I moaned loudly "hm... Enzo" "Mine," he said while my nipple was in his mouth. He''s pinching and rubbing my left nipple. "..Enzo" he started kissing my stomach''s every inch. He then removed my shorts and ripped my panty. He smirked at me and said, "shaved and clean" I blushed at his remarks. His fingers traced my pussy very slowly, my body shivered at that action. "You''re dripping wet down here," he said, staring at my pussy. He bends down and started kissing my pussy, sucking my pussy folds. His tongue was doing magic down there, and he was licking my pussy. His hands were griping my Hip bones; he disappeared deep into pussy. He raised his head and put his middle finger into my mouth. I sucked his long tattooed finger, he then kissed me, sucking and biting my lower lip. He slowly entered his finger into my pussy, I gasped at the sudden pain caused by that action. My hands were gripping his hair, pulling him closer to me. He was kissing me breathlessly; his finger started moving inside slowly, the pain got increased a bit. He started moving it back and forth slowly, his other hand was all over my body Teasing me. His finger started moving faster and faster, I was moaning his name and he was swallowing my moans. My orgasm built, and I came hard on his finger and all over his hand. He leaned into my pussy and licked it. "Hmm... You taste like honey " I blushed at his comment, he put his finger in front of signaling me to lick it. I licked it "how''s it? " he asked. "It''s sweet," I said shyly. He kissed me passionately and got down from the bed. He walked towards the wardrobe and took a pair pajamas; he pulled me from the bed and gave them to me. He waited patiently until I wear my clothes. He grabbed my hand and took me to his bedroom, and he made me sit on his bed and went inside his walk-in closet. I looked around, his bedroom was big, king-size bed, black and white interior, Big Tv, couches. It was dark like his personality. He came out of his walk-in closet in a pair of blue t-shirt and night pant, he was looking soo hot and sexy. I never saw him in casual clothes, and he walked towards me kissed me Deeply until I couldn''t breathe, He released me and looked into my eyes. "You are mine Venessa, only mine," he said possessively, I smiled at him. He then laid down on the bed, I went into the washroom and washed my face. I came back and cleaned myself with a towel; it smelled like him. I climbed on the bed, and he pulled me towards him, I rested my head on his shoulder and my hands were on his chest. We were like that in each other''s embrace, and I closed my eyes and prayed that if this is a dream I don''t want to wake up. Chapter 18：Friends The next morning, I woke up feeling sunlight on my face. It''s 7:30 when I turned back, Enzo was sitting on the couch. Staring at me. "Good morning," He Said, smiling I walked towards him and kissed him on the cheek; he pulled me on his lap and kissed my neck. "Enzo, I''ll be late to school," I said, "Don''t '' go, you need to take rest," he said nuzzling into my neck. "No, I''m ok," I said, pushing him lightly. "Your knees are not okay, you need rest." "I''ll miss my classes Enzo, please let me go," I said to him, pouting. He released me "Fine." I walked towards my room and did my morning routine, took a shower and dressed into a black self-tie halter top and white jeans. I let my hair down on my shoulder. After taking a look at myself in the mirror, I head out. I walked into the kitchen and saw someone cooking something. Sensing my presence, she looked at me. It was the same woman whom I bumped into yesterday. "Miss Foster breakfast is ready to please sit down," she said smiling at me. She was middle-aged with tied down hair, she wore a pretty floral dress, Her face radiated warmth. She served the breakfast on my plate; she noticed I wasn''t eating. "What happened, Miss Foster?" "Please call me Venessa and I''m waiting for Enzo" "Oh... Mr. Francisco will join you in a minute until then you can have coffee," she said. I see Mr. Greek god was walking downstairs, A man dressed in a black suit was walking behind him. He walked towards me and sat beside me, That man stood behind us. Enzo turned towards me and asked "what?" I looked at that man, Enzo looked at him too. "He''s my bodyguard," He said casually, I turned towards him and smiled at him. He bowed a little and greeted me "Hello Miss Foster." "Hello?" "My name is John Hades, you can call me John," he smiled politely. "Hello, John" I greeted him and turned towards Enzo. He was watching me intensely; I raised my eyebrow, he shook his head and smiling at me. I didn''t understand why he was smiling, Enzo turned towards that kitchen woman who was smiling at us. "Jade" he called her. She turned towards Enzo and nodded her head, she then served Enzo breakfast. We started having our breakfast, All the time John was watching us and jade was also watching us. It was very uncomfortable for me, suddenly I feel Enzo''s hand on my right thigh. I looked at him; he motioned me to eat. "Turn around," He said with authority in his voice. Jade turned back to the kitchen, John turned back. I relaxed and ate my breakfast calmly. After having breakfast, I took my bag and walked towards the garage, Paul was waiting for me in the car. I quickly opened the door and climbed inside, "where''s Enzo," I asked him. "Mr. Francisco said, he had a meeting at the office. So he had to leave Venessa." "Oh..." I said. He then drove to my school and dropped at the place, where I got down last Time. I walked inside the school; I see Beth at her locker. I walked towards her, "hey beth" I greeted her. She turned towards me and hugged me, "Casey and Alyssa have been suspended from school today." I was shocked, I pushed Beth a bit and asked her. "what, why?" "What why?They bullied you and your wounded Venessa." "But I didn''t complaint against them!" I said. "I know you didn''t, and you won''t complain against anyone, your too good to do that," she said sarcastically. "Then who did?" "Who knows, I''m just happy that they''re not in this school anymore." She grabbed my hand and said, "come on let''s go, don''t think about them." We walked to our classes, she went to her class and I went to mine. When I entered my class, I saw Remond, Aron, Seth, and Zach, Sitting beside my place. Okay, I didn''t introduce Zach to you, Did I? Okay, Zachary Johnson, 19, gray eyes, sharp nose, dimple smile, sharp jawline, tall, curly black hair, cool, silent type, cunning and... He doesn''t give a fuck about the attention he gets in here. He''s from a rich family; his father is CEO of J.J. Inc, he''s smartest among the other 3. *** I walked towards my place and put my bag on my bench and sat down on my chair. They''re talking to each other. I was listening to them and pretending to do my work. I heard Remond asking Zachary. "How''s everyone there?" "Good," Zachary said. "Mate, we missed you," Seth said, Seth was emotional one among the others. Zachary just smiled at Seth. They''re talking about his vacation in Hawaii and after few minutes. The class has begun, Mr. Finn said he would give assignment about a new chapter, so he started explaining it to us. "So students, I''m going to pair you up with other fellow students. You are going to discuss your given topic and you''re going write an essay about it and submit it to me, understood." He started to pair up everyone, and I was feeling nervous about it. "Miss Venessa foster your partner is Mr. Zachary Johnson" My heart skipped a beat, and I was doomed, How I am going to write this assignment, when he doesn''t give a talk to me. "Mr. Johnson, because of your vacation, you weren''t present in my class. So I paired up you with Miss Foster, so that you can catch up the syllabus." Zach nodded at Mr. Fin. This is going to be a long assignment. I thought to myself.The whole day went by, it was my last period. Remond didn''t even look at me neither did Aron, I was feeling grateful for that. No Remond, then-No trouble. The bell has rung indicating school is over, I packed my things and walked outside.While I was walking through the corridor, Remond grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me into an empty classroom. "You did your task 1 well, now you''re task 2 is to make Zachary talk to you. You know what happens if you don''t do this. " He said in a hurry and left me alone in the classroom. I was wondering why he wants me to talk to Zachary ?. What does he want from me? While I was waiting for Paul to come, Beth called me and asked me to join her at the cafe. I said okay and called Paul, told him to wait for me at school. I joined Beth at a nearby cafe; we had coffee. We chatted about some bullshit, after some time, we walked out of the cafe. We bid goodbyes to each other when I turned towards our school, I saw a tall, handsome man in a black shirt and white pant, Three bodyguards wearing black suits were following behind him. He was very handsome and attractive, he was walking towards an apartment, I noticed a man in a blue shirt was following him with a gun in his hand, even though there were bodyguards around him nobody was aware of that blue shirt man. That blue shirt man shoots a bullet at that tall man, but that Missed him and hit the pillar nearby. I ran towards that tall man and stood in front of him. Facing a blue shirt man, I placed my hand behind me motioning to tall man to stand behind me. Facing that blue shirt man, "Listen to me Mister," I said very politely, trying to get the situation under control. That tall man''s bodyguards, instead of guarding him. They were pointing their guns at that blue shirt man. Idiots. "Move aside Miss, or I have to kill you too," he said very angrily. I sensed that this man had a problem with that tall man, or else he wouldn''t point his gun at him in public places like this. "Please listen to me Mister, killing someone is not a solution to your problem," I said very carefully. "Not a solution, Do you even know what he did," he shouted at me. "He killed my entire family; he deserves to die," he said gritting his teeth in anger. I sensed that tall man was trying to take a step beside me; I turned around and glared at him and said, "Please stand behind me," He didn''t say anything and moved behind me. "Please listen to me, killing him will only prove that you are also like him, will there be a difference in you and him if you do the same." Stepping ahead and putting my hand behind I said. "your family would have wanted you to be a better man; they wouldn''t want you to go to Jail by killing him, would they?" "I loved them," he said lowering his gun, I can see tears rolling in his eyes. I slowly walked towards him and hugged him. He didn''t hug me back, I said "I know how you are feeling, I lost my family too... Brother" With that, he burst into tears and hugged me tightly. We were like that for a few minutes, he was crying for the loss of his family, and I was crying for mine. After a few minutes, I stepped back and wiped my tears. "Thank you sister, for stopping me from doing a sin, Thank you," He said and gave a Dirty look at that tall man; he left. I turned back and saw that tall was looking at me with adoration in his eyes. He came to me. He was about to say something, "Did you kill his family?" I asked, cutting him off. "No...it was a car accident," he said with sincerity in his eyes. I didn''t say anything, just stood there, "Can you...Be my friend," he asked, hesitantly, pleading me with his eyes. "Okay," I said, nodding my head. "What''s your name?" he asked, "Venessa Foster and yours," I asked him looking into his green eyes. He said."Nikolai Vasiliev" Chapter 19：His Intense Punishment "Nice to meet you Mr. Nikolai Vasiliev," I said, smiling at him. "Nice to meet you too Miss Venessa Foster," He said, smiling. There was an awkward silence between us, and he was looking at me intensely. "Uh...I have to go, I''ll be late for work, I''ll see you later Mr. Vesiliv." I said and started walking towards Paul, He didn''t say anything. He was just standing there and staring at me. I walked towards Paul; he was waiting for me at my school. I smiled at him and climbed inside, after a few minutes I asked him, "How''s Enzo today?" "He''s been busy with some clients and work," he said. "Oh, Is he still at the office?" I asked him. "Yes, vennesa," he said, "Oh ok," I said. We reached the mansion; I quickly opened the door and stepped outside, I quickly walked towards my room and took a shower and got ready for my work. I walked towards the kitchen to have something, there I see Judy cooking something. She noticed me and smiled at me, "Hello Miss, foster, please sit down I''m making sandwiches for you." "Okay," I said and sat down. She severed sandwiches on my plate; I quickly took a bite, They were yummy. "Umm...its tasty Judy," I said, "Thank you," she said. After eating sandwiches, I quickly went to L.Fs buildings. I walked towards the elevator and clicked the button; the doors of the elevator opened. I stepped inside and the doors closed, I patiently waited, once in a while checking time in my wristwatch. The doors opened at the 8th floor and Niall stepped in, he pressed his floor number and turned towards me. "Hey, vennesa," he said, "Hi, Niall" "Where were you yesterday? I didn''t see you," "Sir said there was no work in here so, I stayed back" "Oh... Ok, how''s your first day with Mr. Francisco? " "It was good," I said. He raised his left eyebrow for my answer. He laughed at my answer, "Anyways, come to my floor let''s have dinner together with my friends." "Okay," I said. We talked to each other until his floor arrived and he stepped out of the elevator. He''s a funny guy, an easy-going person, He does lots of jokes and makes people happy around him. ****** I reached my floor and walked towards Enzo''s office, and I knocked on the door. "Come in," he said with his deep voice. I pushed the door and entered inside the office, and I walked towards his desk. He was doing something on his laptop; he looked at me and motioned me to come towards him. I walked around his desk and stood in front of him; he turned and pulled me onto his lap. I gasped at his sudden action. He pulled the drawer in the desk and took a remote from it. He pressed a button, Then all the ceiling windows were covered. Making us invisible to the outside world, his office door was also locked. He turned towards me with a smirk on his face. "I heard you did a stunt on the road at a cafe," he said a serious expression on his face. I didn''t say anything about it; How did he know about this? "Do you know how dangerous it is to stand in front an armed man who is in anger?" he said looking at me. I lowered my gaze and said "I won''t do that again, sorry," He didn''t say anything, suddenly He made me stand up from his lap and bend me over on his desk. I gasped."Enzo what are you doing?" He pulled my both hands and hold them on my back with his one hand, he opened his drawer, took handcuffs from it and put them to my hands. He then turned me around so, that my front body can face him. He bends down to my ear and whispered, "This is the punishment you get for doing That." I was scared, he was angry with my actions. He''s very scary when he''s angry. He pushed up my pencil skirt until my waist and pulled my underwear out. He then pushed my legs far from each other, making my bare pussy visible to him. He bends down and his lips latched on my clit and started licking my pussy, I was moaning his name. My hips rose into his mouth "Ah...Enzo," he bit down my pussy folds with his teeth and his tongue licked my pussy. I nearly lost it at this new sensation; He head was disappeared into pussy, he inserted his tongue into my dripping wet clit. "Ah...Enzo,"I shouted, his hands were gripping my waist. His tongue was thrusting hard and his hand reached under my shirt and gripped my right breast, massaging it and rubbing my nipple by his thumb. My hips bucked against his face. He placed my legs on his shoulders, and his tongue was doing a great job inside my pussy, he was moving his tongue in and out, in and out, and my body was jerking upward. All the things in his desk were now on the floor, I was shouting his name in pleasure he was giving me by his tongue. I come hard all over his face; I threw my head back in bliss and was breathing hard. When I looked at him, our eyes connected and he licked my cum on his lips. I blushed hard and looked away; he grinned wider at me and wiped his mouth and chin. He pulled my shirt down and made me stand up, my legs felt like jelly and I slipped. He caught me by my shoulders and leaned me on him; his hand was on my head pressing me into his chest. My hands were around his waist hugging him tightly; he pressed a button on that remote and his big book cupboard opened, revealing a beautiful bedroom. He carried me in bridal style and placed me on that bed carefully. He bends down and kissed me; my hands reached his neck and pulled him closer. I couldn''t control this intense feeling between us, and I want him, I am craving for him. I never felt anything this intense in my life, his touch, his lips, his tongue, his hands, his breath everything. I want him, and I want him inside me. I want him to fix me and love me, cherish me, I don''t want him to hurt or leave me like everyone else, I want him in my life. I love him; I love him like a drug addict. Chapter 20：Task 2 After our intense make-out session, Enzo ordered me to fix a meeting with the president of England headquarters of Harrison''s carmaker; his name was Ace Harrison. So, right now I''m sitting on my chair and booking a table for the meeting in a five-star hotel at the City Center. After booking a table for him, I started checking the emails. I completed my work on the files, setting up the meeting and his schedule for tomorrow. I looked at my wristwatch it shows 8:10, I quickly took my notebook and walked towards his office. When I entered inside I see him stressful and still doing something on his laptop, I walked towards him and placed my book on his desk. He looked at me, and I walked behind him and put my hands on his shoulders, started giving him a shoulder massage. After some time He relaxed a bit; I walked in front of him. "I set up your schedule tomorrow and will check all the emails too; there''s your schedule," I said, showing my book to him. He took that book and checked it. He then closed that book and looked at me, "Everything is good," I smiled, "Sir its dinner Time, What do you want me to bring for you?" "Nothing, you can have your dinner. I have some work to do, I''ll have my dinner myself in the canteen." "Okay sir," I said. I walked towards the elevator and went to the canteen, There I saw Niall with a guy and two girls. He saw me, and he waved at me to come over. I walked towards his table, "Hey Ness" he greeted, smiling at me. "Hii," I smiled at him, "Hey," someone said, I turned at them. It was Alice, the receptionist. "Hi," I said, "Guy this is Venessa," he said, showing me to them. "Venessa this is Ryan Clarke; That''s Amanda Marshall" Ryan was tall, handsome, with cropped short brown hair and trimmed beard; he had gray eyes, sharp jawline, thick eyebrows, pointed nose, and pink lips. He was wearing a white button-up shirt and black pants. He offered his hand to me "Hi." I took it "Hi," I said smiling. Amanda was beautiful, she had short shoulder length light brown bob with purple highlights hair, she''s 5.5, slim, fair skin, brown eyes, full lips, small nose, strong jaw. "Hi" she waved at me, "Hi," I said smiling. "Come on," Niall said, we all sat down on our chairs. Niall was sitting on my right side and on my left was Ryan, Amanda was beside Ryan and Alice was beside Niall. We ordered our meals," by the way, what are you doing after work? " Amanda asked me, "Nothing, I''ll do my homework and sleep," I said, "Come with us, we''re going to our company''s new clubs opening party," Niall said looking at me. "But will they allow me?" I asked, they looked at me with confused expressions. "How old are you?" Ryan asked, "18," I said looking at him. "What!! " They all shouted at once. I flinched at they''re sudden outburst, "You''re 18 and personal assistant to Mr. Francisco?" Amanda asked, "What are you studying?" Ryan asked, "12th," I said looking at Ryan. "This had never happened before," Alice said looking at Niall. Everyone was looking at each other and shock was evident in their eyes. I can''t understand why they''re so shocked about it. "What''s the matter guys, " I said looking at them, they turned towards me. "Mr.Francisco Never allowed anyone below 22 to work under him," Ryan said, "We are all shocked that he allowed you, I mean, he never had a personal assistant of your age before. He has so many people working under him as his secretary and Assistants they''re all above 22, it''s strange. " Amanda said, "Maybe he liked her academic marks or performance," Niall said, "Maybe," Ryan said, Amanda and Alice looked at each other. "You Know whatever Mr. Francisco does there is a reason behind it," Alice said, they looked at each other. "Ok ok... let''s just drop this here, so ness are you coming with us to the club tomorrow," Amanda said, "Ok, I''ll come." I said excited. I''ve never been to clubs before so, I was excited to go. "Ok Then get ready at 7 pm I''ll come and get you," Niall said, "Okay " After having my dinner, we bid goodbyes, and I went back to my office and continued my work. After completing all my work, I looked at my wristwatch; it showed 10 pm. I stretched my body and stood up; I was very tired. I took my things and walked towards Enzo''s office. We both walked out of the building, and I started walking towards my car which was parked in the parking lot for all these days. "Where are you going?" Enzo asked me, I turned my head towards him. "To my car," I said, showing my car. He turned towards a bulky man standing at the entrance, immediately he came towards me. "Please give me the car keys ma''am," that bulky man said. I signed and gave him my car keys, and Enzo came to me, grabbed my hand. We got inside his car and reached his mansion, Paul opened the car door. I stepped outside, Enzo was walking ahead of me, I followed him behind. All this while he was quiet and deep in thought, he didn''t say a word in the elevator too. It''s bothering me, I thought to ask him but I was so tired that I couldn''t even walk to my room. Maybe its about work? I''ll just ask him tomorrow, I thought to myself and went to my room. I changed my clothes and fell on my bed. *********** "Riiinngg!" I groaned and pressed the snooze button on my alarm, and I slowly opened my eyes and squinted as sunlight shone through the curtains. I got up from my bed and walked towards my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and took a shower. I walked towards my closet, took my red off-shoulder top and paired it with a black knee ripped jeans and my black high heel shoes. After I had got dressed, I walked downstairs for breakfast. I entered the kitchen, and I was greeted by Judy. "Good morning Miss foster" "Good morning, please call me Venessa, Judy" "Okay" "What is for breakfast?" "I cooked sunny side up eggs, bacon, sausages," Judy answered. I sat on my chair, and Judy served me, she noticed I wasn''t eating. "Lorenzo had his breakfast and left early, he said he has worked at the office," she said. I smiled at her and ate my breakfast; I was upset. I don''t know why he''s not talking to me, did I do something wrong? "Venessa, Mr. Francisco said to take you to school " Paul Said, holding my bag. I walked towards his car and climbed in; I was trying to remember what went wrong, what did I do. And then it hit me like a thunderbolt, he told me not to talk with Niall and I had dinner with him and his friends yesterday. When I asked Enzo, he said he had his dinner and he told me that he''ll have it in the canteen, That means he saw me with them. God, I have to talk to him after coming back from school. I thought to myself. Paul dropped me at school; I walked inside. The corridors were empty, I was Early. I walked towards my locker, and Suddenly someone turned me around roughly; I looked up and saw Remond face. "You remember your task?" He said, "Yes " "Good " "Why do you want me to make Zachary talk to me Remond, what''s the reason behind this? I don''t get it, why can''t you bully someone else. Why mee? " I said. I was already upset that Enzo was ignoring me and Remond''s stupid tasks are making me miss my classes, This is all stressful to me and I can''t handle all this. Remond was looking at me without any expression on his face, and he wasn''t saying anything to me, when I look into his eyes I can clearly is he was hurt. I was confused, why is he hurt? He turned around and left me there; I signed and walked to my class and saw Zachary sitting on the last bench. I signed again and walked to my seat and set down my bag. I have to talk to him or else I can''t complete my English assignment. Thank god there''s no one in my class except for me and Zachary or else it would be hard for me to talk to him. I stood up and walked towards him; he didn''t even look at me. I cleared my throat loudly, he then looked at me. "Um....Z.zachary... I. I need to.... talk... to you," I said with great difficulty. He didn''t say anything; he was just looking at me. I was nervous, "say," he said, with his deep voice. "We need to do our English assignment together, if you don''t want to do the assignment with me, then it''s ok I''ll do it by myself." He continued his work, and I walked back to my seat. I was relieved to know that he''s ok with us, working together. Day went on, as usual, I couldn''t take Enzo''s thoughts out of my head. Enzo''s silence is affecting me so much that I couldn''t even concentrate on my surroundings nor my classes at all. At lunch, Beth noticed my sad face and asked me why I was sad. I said its nothing; she didn''t press it. The bell rang indicating its 4 now, I took my things and walked towards the library. When I stepped inside it was empty, only our librarian Miss Stacy was sitting in her seat and noting something in her notebook. I walked inside and at a corner near a bookshelf. I saw Zachary sitting on his chair, writing something. I walked towards him sat down next to him, he looked at me for a second and continued writing without uttering a word to me and completely ignoring my presence there. I patiently waited for him to talk, after some time he gave me a file of papers to me. "I wrote my part and you can write remaining part," he said very politely, "But how did you write this? You were absent for half of the classes Zachary," I said shocked, "I read those previous chapters," he said calmly. "You read them?" I asked. He nodded his head. "Okay, do you have any questions, I can help you with them," I said with a little smile on my face. "No, I don''t," he said, "Okay then, bye," I said and stood up from my seat, took my bag and turned around. "Vennesa" Zachary called me. I turned towards him. "Yes," He didn''t say anything for a minute, and he was just looking at me. "You.. you should stay away from Lorenzo" "What?" Chapter 21：His silent Treatment "What?" I said looking at him, He just took his things and stood up. There was a look in his eyes which I couldn''t understand, it was like he was looking at his favorite broken toy. Is it pity ?. If Not then what is that? He walked away from here, I was still standing there thinking about his words. Why is everything against me and Lorenzo? Why does everyone warn me to stay away from him? Everything flashed through my mind, our meeting, our love for each other everything. I couldn''t see his bad side in there, Everything I could see was love in those piercing green eyes for me. He saved me from that monster that day, and he cared for me, he kept me in his house. He put his driver around me. Who does this nowadays?Everyone just uses you for their profit, after that; they''ll throw you out of their life like a tissue paper. But he didn''t do that, he helped me in my crucial time. He didn''t leave me alone there, he took care of me.Everything was running through my mind, and I didn''t even notice that I was outside the school and I was walking towards Paul. Looking at me, he walked towards me, " Venessa what happened? " He asked with a worried expression on his face. "Nothing... nothing..." I tried to put a smile on my face but failed miserably. I climbed inside the car, and Paul started the engine. "Paul, please take me to Enzo," I said, still in the same state. He nodded. I turned and looked outside the window. Zachary doesn''t talk to anyone, and he rarely talks to his friends. He... telling... me...to stay away from Lorenzo has a big impact on me. How come he knows that I am with Enzo if he knows why he told me to stay away from him. He doesn''t know me at all, never in our entire school life he acknowledged me, I was a nobody. I had only one friend that was Beth. There were lots of questions running in my mind. "Paul" I called him, and I want one positive thought for our relationship to start, one positive thing that shows that there''s nothing wrong with us being together, one positive thing! Only one. "Yes, Venessa," he said. "Can I ask you something?" I still said looking outside. "Yes" "Please give me your honest answer" "Okay" "Is he... a bad man?" He didn''t say anything for a minute; I turned towards him and I didn''t notice that he stopped the car. He was looking ahead. Maybe he didn''t hear me. I thought to myself, I looked outside and saw he stopped at a restaurant. I was about to open the door then Paul said, "Mr. Francisco is a very possessive man, he protects those, who he loves, he had a dark past and because of that he turned into a cruel and ruthless businessman.But there''s good in him underneath his cold self, I saw it...(Turningtowards me he continued )" I saw it when he''s with you. You can change him Venessa, I worked for his family for almost 20 years. I''ve seen him grow into a man who he is now. He is a good man Nessa and... please don''t give up on him. Whatever he does there''s always a reason behind it " There was sincerity and honesty in his eyes. It shows how much he respects Lorenzo.That''s it I got what I wanted and now I''m not going to back down a bit. I smiled at Paul and thanked him; I opened the car door and walked inside the restaurant. Inside I saw Lorenzo talking to two professional dressed men, one was very handsome with brown hair and the other was an attractive blonde. I started walking towards them; I saw them standing up and shaking hands with Lorenzo. He was normal with a serious expression on his face but the other two people were happy like they got their favorite candy. Those two started walking towards the exit, that brown hair one looked at me while walking beside me. I directly walked towards Lorenzo. He was sitting in his seat. I sat in front of him, but he was ignoring me completely. John was standing behind him with a neutral expression on his face. Enzo signaled him to go, John walked far away and stood at the exit. "Enzo" I called him. He didn''t respond. "Please talk to me," He didn''t respond. Taking a sip from his coffee, he completely ignored me. "I know why you''re angry with me," I said, "You''re angry because I had dinner with Niall and his friends," I said, feeling guilty for forgetting about it. Taking a sip from his coffee, "I will fire them all." He said, calmly. "WHAT!!!" I said, shocked by his words. Calming myself, I asked him. "Enzo....Please don''t do that" Taking another sip from his coffee, "I will," he said in a low and husky voice. I signed and leaned back on my chair. I have to do something or else he will fire them all for having a simple dinner with me. This is ridiculous. Then I got a brilliant idea, I smiled at my idea. Enzo was looking at me with a I signed and leaned back on my chair.I have to do something or else he will fire them all for having a simple dinner with me. This is ridiculous. Then I got a brilliant idea, I smiled at my idea. Enzo was looking at me with a confused expression. I stood up and walked towards John; I signaled him to bend a bit.Because...you know! I''m short and John''s tall and bulky man.He bends over, I quickly moved closer towards him and said my plan to him. He smiled at me and nodded his head, he moved back and took his phone.I walked back towards Enzo with a smile on my face while He was casually taking a sip from his coffee. I was staring him with a smile on my face, watching his lips touching the edge of the Cup and taking the sip, That was sexy. This Greek god doesn''t have to do anything at all, his simple action makes me dripping wet down there. He didn''t bother to look at my miserable condition. After some time, John came to me, rescuing me from this silent torture. I looked at him; he nodded his head. I smiled and got up from my seat; Enzo was looking at John and me. He was ignoring the whole world. This man...argh!!!I groaned. I took the mike and cleared my throat, gaining everyone''s attention including Enzo''s.I smirked internally, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.I dedicate this song to my angry boyfriend." I said, pressing the words Angry boyfriend. Enzo looked at me with his normal serious expression, I smiled at him.I turned back to the band; I walked towards them. There were three boys and two girls in the band; We discussed the songs and agreed to one song which suited Mr. Take No Bullshit Enzo.I turned towards the audience and put my earpiece. The band started playing the music, I ignored everyone around me.My full concentration was only on Enzo. We were playing the song. Bad Boy By Tungevaag & Raaban Music Music Music I started to sing. Rolled up sleeves and a 24k smile to match his red eyes commas in his hair and a Chain with a saint, but he ain''t none [ Walking towards him , without breaking eye contact.

We were staring at each other. Everyone in the restaurant stood up and started to give a round of applause for my performance. I looked around and realized that I sang that song in front of these many people without even feeling any bit of nervousness. I blushed and hid my face in his chest, not raising my head at all. He chuckled and lifted me in bridal style; he walked towards his car with me in his arms. I raised my head a bit and saw John smiling at me, I blushed and quickly hid my face on his chest again. He climbed inside the car still with me in his arms, he was still chuckling. "I didn''t know that you dance like that, otherwise I would have made you do that on my bed," he said, still chuckling. I hit his chest playfully. We were like that until we reached the mansion, all this while I was hugging him tightly. His hands were around me holding me. Paul stopped the car; I raised my head slowly and looked at Enzo flawless face, he was already looking at me. I slowly started moving back from him; Paul opened the door, I stepped out first and Enzo stepped out behind me. He took my hand in his; we walked towards his mansion. I was happy that he wasn''t upset anymore; I was surprised by my actions out there. I didn''t realize that I was dancing while singing the song, Enzo was enjoying my song and my moves. He didn''t take his eyes off me; he watched me like a hawk. He watched me every single move and I really enjoyed dancing for him. Enzo took me to his room and gave me a package. "There''s a party in my new club at eight, get ready and come down okay," he said, "Okay," I said, turning around, Enzo grabbed my shoulder from behind me and pulled me towards him, my back hit his chest. I gasped, I can feel his bulge against my butt. He was pressing it into my butt, " Do you feel that?" he whispered in my ear, "That''s because of you Venessa," he said giving wet kisses on my neck," E...E.Enz. Enzo ... We''ll...b.. be..la..late " I shuttered, "I don''t care," he huskily whispered, kissing my neck. "E...E... Enzo," I was struggling to get a grip, I stumped on his feet. He released me, and I ran towards the door, I stopped and turned around. He was sitting on his bed rubbing his leg with his hands, "I''ll make sure that you pay for this." He said with a painful expression on his face, "let''s see" I challenged him and walked back to my room smiling, I opened the door and stepped inside. I put that package on the bed and walked into my bathroom. I took a shower and wrapped a fluffy white towel around me. I walked outside the bathroom and went to the dressing table, dried my hair. I walked to my bed and took the package and opened it. Looking into the package, I gasped. Chapter 22：The Party I pulled it out side, and it was gorgeous. Somebody knocked on the door, I put that down on my bed and walked towards the door and opened it. I opened the door and immediately someone pushed me back lightly and entered the room. "Mr. Francisco will punish us if we''re late," A lady said, leading 3 ladies behind her. I was confused, who are they and what are they doing in my room? She turned back " Come on Miss Foster. We''ll be late if you don''t cooperate with us." I walked towards her and stopped in front of her. "My name is Lilly and This is Hannah" I turned towards the other 3. She said"Hii" "This is chole," She said, "hii" "This is Ellen," She said, "Hii" "Mr. Francisco sent us to you, To help you get ready for the party," Lilly said, "Oh." I said, They didn''t say anything and started dressing me up. After they completed their work, I looked at my reflection. I gasped at my own reflection, and I was looking stunning. I never thought I could look like this before. I was wearing a strapless black mini dress that perfectly hugged my body to show off my curves. It further featured a silver flowy fabric that rushed at one side and covered most of my left leg. They then styled the look with a pair of statement hoops. Chunky diamond rings and bracelets add more sparkle to the look and When paired with black strappy heels, It made me look stunning. Besides this, a flawless base, smoky eyes, lightly shaded lips add more allurement to the look. I turned towards them and hugged them. "Thank you so much" I released them, they were smiling at me. "You look stunning, dear," Chloe said smiling at me. "Okay Now let us take you downstairs Miss Foster, Mr. Francisco is waiting for you," Lilly said. I nodded and we walked downstairs, I looked up and saw Enzo in a black Tuxedo. He was looking so hot and sexy as hell. I was checking him out, how can this man look so handsome all the time. He was towards me and extended his hand, and I took it and we walked outside. There was a limo waiting for us outside, Paul opened the door. He smiled at us. We climbed inside. Enzo sat beside me and he was drawing circles on my left thigh, for some strange reason it''s turning me on to the point where I want to jump on Enzo, rip his clothes and touch every single part of him. I was controlling myself not to do that, After some time we reached the club. Paul opened the door, Enzo stepped outside and extended his hand for me, I took it and stepped outside. Immediately the press started flashing the camera at us, I covered my face instantly with my hands. Enzo took my hand from my face and put his hand on the small of my back leading me towards the entrance, and Enzo''s bodyguards protected us from the flashing lights. As we entered inside, I raised my head, and it was a very big club in the entire Los Angeles. It was crowded with men in black suits and women in black and white very flashy dresses. Music was blasting through the speakers, and he led me towards a group of people. By looking at us, they turned and put a smile on their faces, fear was evident in their eyes. "Hello, Mr.Francesco ", A Tall man with black hair and Thick Italian accent greeted Enzo. "Hello, Mr. Qutanio " Enzo greeted him. Enzo introduced me to everyone there, they started talking about work and I was listening to only Enzo. How can someone sound this sexy? "Lorenzo" someone called him, and I turned towards it, it was a woman, she was walking towards us. She''s gorgeous, she was tall, slim, blonde and very attractive. She was wearing a black dress with a very deep cut and backless, which was way too revealing in my opinion. She walked towards him and hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek, and I watched her closely and it hit me. She was the one he kissed that day, I saw them kissing each other outside of the restaurant. Suddenly I was suffocated by their closeness, they were standing too close to each other. Enzo was listening to her with all his interest, and I suddenly felt out of place there. I couldn''t take it anymore, "excuse me," I said and walked towards the washroom. He didn''t even look at me after she had come, he completely forgot about me. I walked inside the washroom, tears started rolling down from my eyes. After calming myself, I fixed my make up and stepped outside the washroom, and I walked towards the bar and stood there, I looked at them. She was telling him something, and he was listening to her. She was standing too close to him; her chest was slightly touching his arm. She bent over a bit and whispered something in his ear, her chest pressed into his arm. She seductively bit her lower lip looking at him. I was feeling something I never felt before, it''s hurting me to the point where I started regretting my decision to come here. He was very handsome and attractive. He was dressed in a black suit as well. "Hi," he''s smiling at me, "Hi," I said, smiling a bit. "My name is Seth Collins," he said,"Venessa Foster," I replied. "Did you come alone or come with someone?" He asked with curiosity. I looked at Enzo and saw him chuckling at something she said, I was hurt, I don''t know why but I was deeply hurt. I shouldn''t have come here, maybe I don''t fit here... With him, maybe I don''t deserve him. I turned around and said "I came alone." "Oh..Do you work in L.F?" "Yes, I''m a personal assistant to lor...I mean Mr. Francesco" "Oh" We talked for a few minutes; he was very funny. He''s an easy going person, and he has this thing which makes everyone around him feel comfortable with him. "Come on, let''s dance " he pulled me towards the dance floor, I laughed at his stupid Jokes and we were with each other laughing and dancing, ignoring everyone around us. We were enjoying our company with each other. Suddenly someone grabbed my hand and stunned me around roughly; I looked up and saw a very angry Lorenzo. I pulled my hand from his grip and stepped back, and he was taken aback by my action. "Mate when did you arrive?" Seth asked Enzo. I was surprised, they know each other? I looked at Seth and saw him smiling at Enzo. "1 hour back," Enzo replied, "You know each other?" I asked them. "We''re best friends," Seth said looking at me. I turned towards Enzo, and he was looking at me intensely. I turned around and walked towards the bar, sat down on the chair. Enzo grabbed my hand and started pulling me outside the club, "Enzo, leave me," I shouted, struggling to free my hand from his grip. "Enzo... Leave me, you Moron" He stopped and lifted me and threw me inside the limo. I Landed on the seat. He climbed inside and sat beside me, and I started hitting him with my hands. He grabbed my hands. "You idiot... Let me go." I shouted, he caught my hands from behind me and bent my right hand over my left shoulder, my left hand on my right. I was shouting at him to release my hands, "Enzo leave my hands or else I''ll kill you" " Ah!!..Enzo... You narcissistic fucking Moron leave me..." I yelled at him. After a few minutes I was breathing hard and stopped moving. Suddenly I burst into tears and I started sobbing. He released my hand and turned me towards him, I was crying my eyes out. He removed my hair from my face, and I was hiccuping and crying. "You didn''t even look at me," I said crying, he was wiping my tears with his thumb. "Do you like her?" I asked, looking at him and crying. "No..." he said, wiping my tears and kissing me on my forehead. "Then why did you give her your full attention, why did you ignore me like that. I was standing there like a fool, hoping... you would acknowledge my presence, but you didn''t. You completely ignored me, do you know how I felt when I saw you chuckling at something she said, do you know how I felt when... " I stopped, I couldn''t say it, I was sobbing and crying hard. "She''s not a good woman Venessa if she knows that you''re mine she will try to hurt you...I''m so sorry for ignoring you, please don''t cry my baby girl " wiping my tears with a handkerchief, he hugged me. "Shh... don''t cry, I''m sorry, I won''t do that again. I promise, " Stroking my hair, he kept apologizing for ignoring me. I slowly stopped crying and wrapped my hands around his neck. His intoxicating smell filled my nostrils, and His scent, whatever combination of body odor, musk, and deodorant it was, was not only intoxicating but made me feel like, I was on the highest dosage of the most potent psychedelic drug, turning my head fuzzy and my heart whimsical and everything around me into the brightest of colors. I was turned on like a crazy horny woman, I started drawing circles on the back of his neck, I was resisting my feelings for him. We reached the mansion. Paul stopped the car and opened the door, and I moved back from Enzo, Enzo stepped out first and then I stepped out of the car. He reached out and intertwined our hands, and he led me inside the mansion. The way our fingers intertwined feels so natural and right. We walked into the hall and all this while I was staring at our intertwined hands, how can someone fall in love this deeply in just a few days? Suddenly Enzo stopped and turned around smiling at me, and I was confused. Why did he stop? "Enzo? " I was confused. He moved aside, and I gasped at the sight in front of me. Chapter 23：His surprise "Beautiful," I whispered, The room was decorated by scented candles and Rose petals at the entrance welcoming me, The lights were dim, I walked to the table which was at the center of the room. The table was decorated beautifully by a tablecloth, a crystal bowl filled with water in which beautiful floating candles are lighted. It was beautiful, I cannot explain what I''m feeling right now, I turned towards him. He was standing behind me, observing my reaction. I smiled and said, "This is beautiful" I was very happy. He smiled and pulled the chair out, and he motioned me to sit down on the chair, I sat down. He then sat Across from me, the only light was from the well-placed candles. Then Judy approached and poured us wine and left the bottle, she smiled at me and left us. I took a sip of the wine; I noticed Enzo watching me. I blushed, a sly smile slipped out. It''s like he loves watching me, he smiled warmly to comfort me and it really did, I began to enjoy his gaze, soaking it in. Feelings his eyes moving over my eyes to my nose, cheeks, lips. The curve of my neck, the slope of my shoulders, my chest. The tiny bit of cleavage just peeking out of my dress. I was blushing again. I shyly looked up, and we locked eyes across the table, everything around us faded away, we were in our own universe, lost in the depth of each other''s eyes. I can feel his desire, but it is not lustful. Calm, gentle, controlled. We barely noticed the maid, as she placed the First course between us, A simple plate of fruits and cheese. I started digging in, as I calmly brought each morsel to my lips. I gazed at him over my glass as I sipped my wine, I knew he was watching my every single move, I slipped a grape between my lips and smiled coyly as my teeth crushed the skin, exploring juices into my mouth. I reached for the strawberry, and Enzo deliberately snatched it from my hand, he grinned as he took a large bite of it. I pouted, Looking at me he smiled and fed me the rest. I smiled at him, we continued refilling our wine glasses and eating slowly. Just enough to keep the wine from going to our heads, we did not speak a word, Time stood still, stopping just for us. An eternity to enjoy each other''s company, him watching and I was being watched. Anyone could see the energy in us, and it can be felt. Something surreal is happening at the table. To us it''s completely natural. Existing at this moment in our own universe. The dinner plates arrived, we shared each other''s meal, his rich and heavy, mine lighter and bold. We were eating slowly but heartily, sipping wine throughout. Savoring the unique yet complementary flavors. We ate in silence, feasting on each other''s forks until hardly anything is left. Our meals devoured, our appetites nearly satiated. A single dessert to share, A single spoon. He feeds me a small bite, creamy and rich. I couldn''t help but smile with pressure at the sweetness, he looked at me and took a large bite with the enthusiasm of a child. I laughed quietly at his playfulness. Another bite which was Larger than the first, some was left on my lips. I know he planned it, of course, and he reached towards me before I could raise my napkin, He put his hand softly on my cheek and leaned towards me, I leaned towards him. He kissed me softly, and I can taste the sweetness of dessert mixed with his. Everything faded away, My anger, my sadness. After what seems like an eternity, our lips parted, I can see it in his eyes, large, calm, green, keeping it all for himself. He raised from his table and stepped over to mine, holding out his hand. I took it and raised it, letting him lead the way as we crossed the room and climbed up the stairs. We reached his room; he opened the door and the room was decorated with rose petals and scented candles leading the way to the bed. He took my hand in his, and we walked to the bed. I turned around and put my hands around his neck and gave him a small kiss, I was beaming like a child on a Christmas morning. "This is beautiful," I said, kissed him on the cheek. He smiled at me and turned me around slowly. I felt something on my neck; I touched it. It was the chain with a circle and a small heart in it. It was a silver diamond Mystique circle with a heart in a necklace. He turned me around, holding the pendant "This circle is my whole life and this heart... Is you if it''s not there? It''s empty. My life is empty without you, Vanessa, I know I''m not a perfect man for you but I promise you that I will try to be one. I promise you that I will always keep you happy, I am a very dangerous man Venessa, I have so many enemies in my life, I promise you that I will keep you safe and secure with me, I want you to be my only mine " he then kissed me, I kissed him back. Soon, It turned into a passionate kiss, I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him closer, his hands gripping my waist tightly. There was no space between us, our bodies crashed into each other. He started pushing me back, and my legs hit the edge of the bed. Without breaking our kiss we both climbed on the bed, he pulled me on his lap, I wrapped my legs around his waist, I can feel his bulge under my butt, I was gripping his hair tightly, his hands were roaming on my back, I couldn''t control, I started getting rid of his coat, I want to touch him, I removed his coat and his shirt. I traced his broad shoulders to his well defined eight pack, he reached my zipper, with great difficulty I removed my dress off my body, I was only in my panty and bra. He removed my bra and pushed on the bed without breaking the kiss. He gripped my right breast and squeezed it; his fingers traced my nipple. I can feel the electricity in my stomach, I was moaning, my hands automatically reached his pants. He grabbed my hands, "slow down, tiger," he said. I looked at him, pouting. He leaned over and gave wet kisses on the neck, in between him whispered in my right ear. "I''m going to kiss you now, baby girl and when I do, it''s going to mean you''re mine." He stopped kissing my neck and looked into my eyes intensely; I can see his eyes drunk in passion and desire. "If you want this to stop, Now is the Only time. Because after this there''s no turning back" he stopped moving, trapping me between the soft mattress and his hard body, I noticed his tattoos on his hard chest and on his flat stomach. I traced the tattoos with my fingers; I reached up and touched his lips, I stared at his handsome face, his green eyes were dark with passion and lust. He seemed so devastatingly handsome, I reached his neck to nuzzle his neck and whispered: "I love you, Enzo.." He gave me another passionate kiss, and he reached down, ripped my panty. He rubbed my clit with his finger. " Enzo... " I moaned, he inserted his finger into my clit, I was moaning his name. I moved it faster and faster, he then inserted another finger into my clit, I was shouting his name, "Ah Enzo...fuck yes, right there " he was swallowing my screams. "Fuck, you''re so tight," he said in a hoarse voice. His fingers were moving faster and faster inside my clit, I came hard on his fingers. He reached down and started sucking my pussy, "Enzo..... please," I was begging him; he got up and started to remove his belt and pants, I was excited. He removed his pants and I gasped looking at his dick size. His dick hung long between his legs, at least nine inches of steel meat, it curved slightly showing the veins straining against it. He was hard. Holy shit! How the hell it''s going to fit me, he was chuckling. Did I say that out loud? I thought As I blushed. "Don''t worry, it''ll fit?" he said and climbed on me; he kissed me, as his knees nudged my thighs, I took a deep breath. I was ready, I was waiting, I was yearning. I closed my eyes tightly, "open your eyes, Love," he stated softly, I did as I was told. "I want you to look me in the eye when I make love to you," he whispered. I nodded, the excitement was shooting from every part of my body, And slowly, I felt him at my entrance. He kissed me; his hands were massaging my breasts. And then he entered inside me, I closed my eyes and a squirm escaped my lips as I felt a tearing pain. My arms flew to his neck; I hugged him tightly. He wiped my tears with his thumb, looking at me deeply; he thrust slowly and I found it surprising that the pain slowly ebbed away. Suddenly I felt the yearning and urgency I possessed a while ago, it was stronger than before. I felt madness taking over him, and I realized it had taken over me as well. Soon the pain was gone and I felt unfamiliar sparks shooting from everywhere he was thrusting hard into me, I let out a scream of pleasure that I hadn''t ever experienced before...bliss. I Shivered and Enzo was swallowing my screams in his kisses. His thrusts became more urgent until I felt him pull himself out of me, he buried his face in my neck and I felt his body rock. After that neither of us said a word, we were breathing hard. Enzo looked at me and kissed me. He then stood up and turned on his bedside lamp, for the first time; I saw him butt naked. I swallowed hard, he went to his closet and returned with a blanket in his hands, he took my hand in his, pulled me up and caught me by my waist, he kissed me passionately until I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him back. He pulled off the blanket we made love in, which I noticed, to my horror was filled with blood and something else, I knew what that was. My head rested comfortably on his shoulder, his one hand was resting on my waist and the other on my butt. He kissed me on my forehead "good night.....Love" he turned off the lights and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep in his arms. Chapter 24：Our Friendship The next day, I woke up feeling sunlight on my face, I tried to get up but a strong arm was holding me still. I turned around, Enzo was sleeping peacefully beside me, he looks so innocent while sleeping, like a baby, I traced his jawline with my thumb. He grabbed my hand and kissed it, "Good morning" he greeted in his morning voice. "Good morning" I greeted him back, I tried to get up but he pulled me back, " Enzo let me go", "No..." he said, nuzzling into my neck, "I will be late Enzo." I was struggling to get up, but he''s grip was strong. After so many failed tries, I felt tired and I lay there. Then again I started tickling him, but there was no reaction from him, I looked up to see him smirking. "I''m not a ticklish person", "Huh," I huffed, he chuckled and pinched my nose. He released me and stood up; he took my hand and pulled me from the bed, we both were naked, neither of us has a piece of cloth on our bodies. The air between us suddenly changed, and our breathing changed, my heart was beating furiously against my ribcage, he grabbed my chin and kissed me, I kissed him back. His hands were roaming on my bare back and rested on the butt; he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, without breaking the kiss, he walked into the bathroom and Fuck me! His bathroom was as big as my entire house, It was modern, okay, okay back to kissing, we were kissing each other furiously like we are not going to see each other for a century. He walked to his big shower room; he has a freaking LED rain shower. He caged me between him and the glass; I was still sore Down there. We bathed together, he has so many very expressive bath and body collection. He used some of them on me; I don''t even know them. After our shower he gave him a towel from the cupboard, and his wrapped a towel on his waist, it hung low on his waist, his v line was visible. He was looking so sexy, I want to kiss every inch of his body then and there. I was staring at his v line; Enzo noticed me and walked to me. He took my hands and guided me to his V line, and I looked at him and touched his v line, he took a sharp intake and stood still. I traced his abs, his tattoos, his chest. "You''re so beautiful," I said, tracing my fingers over his tattoos, his body wasn''t filled with tattoos. He has them here and there. I moved closer and started kissing his tattoos, I can hear his heart beating rapidly against his ribcage, I then stepped back and looked into his green eyes. I can''t believe that this greek god is mine now, he took my hand in his and we walked outside the bathroom, he took me inside his walk-in closet. It was very big, one complete side was Enzo''s and I turned to another side, I gasped looking at this side. It was filled with female things, clothes, footwear, handbags, Everything, I never had these many things in my life. Suddenly I felt homesick, I don''t want all of this, I want to go back to my house, I miss it. I looked back at Enzo; he was staring at me. I smiled at him and walked to the clothes hanging there. I checked them and took a simple white t-shirt, and a knee ripped black jeans, I turned around, looking at Enzo I was struggling to tell him to go from there so that I could wear my clothes. He smirked and walked towards me, " I have seen everything already, still you are shy? " He pulled me by my waist and whispered in my ear, "Do you want me to dress you?" I panicked, "No...No..." I started pushing him outside and closed the slider. I heard him chuckling at my reaction, I smiled to myself and I walked to the big wardrobe, pulled the drawer. There were so many, like hundreds of inner wears with different colors kept neatly, which I didn''t even wear in my entire life, I took a pink bra and panty and got dressed, I stood in front of the big mirror and checked my outfit, I sat down and pulled the drawer and gasped again. There were so many beauty cosmetics, there very expensive and used by professionals. I signed I did my hair and my make up. I walk outside and saw Enzo sat on the sofa, waiting patiently for his turn. He checked me out and smiled, he walked to me and kissed me on my forehead. He went inside the closest; I walked downstairs. Judy greeted me, "Good morning, Nessa" "Good morning Judy," I smiled and sat on the chair. She severed breakfast; I waited for Enzo to join me. Enzo walked down the stairs dressed in a dark blue Armani suit with a very light blue shirt underneath and with a navy tie and black shoes, He was Hot. I quickly turned my head and suddenly my plate was very interesting, I felt him sitting in his head chair beside me. I looked up at him; Judy was serving him breakfast. Without saying a word, we started digging into our food. After having my breakfast, wiped my mouth and stood up, I took my bag. Enzo was waiting for me in the car, and he was talking to someone and hung up, seeing me. It was suspicious, but I did not let that show on my face. I stepped inside and sat beside him, and paul closed the door. He placed his hand on my thigh, looking at me. I smiled and held his arm and rested my head on his shoulder, and he kissed my head. ************* We reached our school, and I looked outside and saw through the window that everyone was looking at us. I turned and looked at Enzo, glaring him. He was smirking, he opened the car door and stepped, outside walked around and opened my car extending his hand, I was glaring him, taking his hand I stepped out. Everyone was looking at us, whispering among themselves, some were taking photos of us, some were glaring at me, some were drooling over Enzo. He walked me towards the entrance, kissing me on my head, he smirked at my shocked expression. He walked back to the car, left me in this fucking situation. Everyone was looking at me with questioning eyes, and I lowered my head and walked to my locker. I turned around, Beth was standing there, folding her hands, with a raised eyebrow. With a confused expression, "What? " I asked, "What was that?" She said, "Don''t try to be smart with me Venessa Foster" I signed, "I''ll tell you every single detail about it in the evening" "You will?" "I will," She smiled, "So, What''s up with you and Kristen," I asked her, she instantly blushed. He was her big fat crush, she talks to him but never conferenced her feelings to him. "Kristen and Me! .... There is nothing between us," she said blushing. "Oh really," I said, "Really" "Oh shut up, I know you have a big crush on him beth. Come on I''m your best friend I know everything about you idiot," I said, I was pissed at her. She signed, "I never got a chance to tell him about my feelings Ness." I side hugged her, " you should tell him, if you''ll wait for the right time it''ll never come, you should create one beth" "I''m scared," she said with a sad expression, "Why?" I asked with concern, "What If... He doesn''t like me" "He does talk to you, right?" "Yea... But what if he doesn''t like me the way I do" "If you tell him then only you''ll be able to know what he actually feels about you beth" She likes him a lot, but she never confessed it, Kristen is a good guy. He''s off 5.9, curly hair, innocent face with baby Brown eyes and I think he has feelings for her too, but both are shy to confess that to each other. I had to do something before its late. She fell silent, I signed. "come on, let''s go" I said, We walked to our classes, and I entered in my class. I walked to my seat, put down my bag and sat down on my chair. I noticed Aron walking to my seat; I was watching him. He looked at him and smiled, he sat beside me. "Hey" "Hey" He looked around and asked me " where''s Redmond? " "I don''t know," I said shrugging my shoulders. "Oh okay... So?" "So....?" "See Venessa; I just wanted to tell you that...I... Want you to be friends with you," he said nervously. I thought for a second, and we were looking at each other. "Okay," I said. He was surprised, "okay!" "Yea... But, I think Remond will have issues with our friendship" Chuckling he said, "he will not have" "Let''s see" The class was filling with students, but we were ignoring it and continued talking. "So, why don''t you do that?" he asked. "If I do that, my assignment will be completely ruined," I said laughing, he also started laughing with me. Then Remond entered with Seth and Zachary, they were looking at us. Remond was glaring Aron, but he was unaffected. They walked to our back seat, Remond sat behind me, Seth sat beside him and Zachary sat beside Aron. Aron and I were talking nonstop, I can feel Remond glaze on me. The bell rang indicating that its lunch break, I stood up and walked outside. Beth saw me and we both walked to the cafeteria. We took our plates and sat down in our usual place, and we were talking to each other and then suddenly Beth stopped and looked at someone behind me, I turned my head to see Aron smiling at us. "Come on, From now on...you''ll sit with us" "What..." Before I could finish my sentence he took my plate and pulled me with him, Beth was following us behind. He took us to his usual spot, Remond was glaring him, Seth and Zachary were looking at each other. "They will be with us from today," he said, more like an order. He sat down and pulled me to sit between him and Remond, beth sat down between Aron and Zachary. I noticed Zachary looking at Beth calmly, beside me Remond was fuming with anger. Aron Ignored him and we were talking to each other like there''s no one except us in the room, others were watching us silently. "I can''t believe that you did it," he said, laughing hard at my childhood incident. "Yeah, I was shocked too," I said laughing. Beth and Seth also started laughing,"Girl you''re crazy," he said. Zachary was also smiling, but Remond didn''t give any reaction, he was just sitting there quietly. I had to talk to him and clear our issues as soon as possible, I thought to myself. After lunch, Me, Aron, Beth, Zachary and Seth were talking to each other at our lockers; Remond was standing there like an angry kid who didn''t get his favorite toy. Then suddenly someone bumped into Beth, she slipped and Zachary caught her by her waist and her glasses fell down. Nobody was noticing them, but I was silently watching them, Zachary was staring at her face, beth quickly stood up and took her glasses. They both looked everywhere but at each other, it was so cute. I looked at Aron and he saw them too, Seth was busy telling us about his Flings. We then walked to our classes, the day went on. Entire day Remond didn''t talk to me not even once, and I don''t know why but somehow it affected me. Maybe because I was habituated to his stupid tasks and all. After the last bell, I walked to my locker, took my things and a piece of paper fell from my book. I took it and opened. Come over to the backside of the school right now, Don''t be late. Was written on it. I signed, maybe its Remond again. This boy and his letters. As I was told, I walked to the backside of the school, there was no one there I walked to the corner hoping maybe there''s someone, but there''s no one there. I turned around, suddenly someone covered my mouth with a handkerchief, A Black car stopped in front of us. Four men wearing a black musk over there face stepped outside and pulled me inside the car, I was slowly loosening my consciousness. Before losing it, I heard a man sitting on the front seat, calling someone in his phone saying, "Boss, It''s done" Chapter 25：He Rescued Me Venessa''s P.O.V I can hear some ruffling sounds around me, my eyelids are heavy. I wasn''t able to open my eyes, and My heart was pumping really fast. I felt deadly cold. I was trying hard to move; sunlight was Falling on my face as I opened my eyes, I tried to close it but couldn''t move my hands. I tried to free myself but couldn''t, what''s happening to me. As I opened my eyes, I couldn''t see my surroundings properly, and it was dark and the only light was coming through a small window. I looked down at myself, I was tied to a chair, My hands and legs were tied up and it hurts. "Hello, Is somebody There?" I shouted, but there was no response. I was scared, I was kidnapped, Are they going to kill me? There were so many questions running in my head. I couldn''t think straight, "Somebody, please help me" I started crying, "Enzo" I cried remembering him, "help me, please," I was sobbing, my hands were hurting and I was thirsty. After shouting and screaming for almost an hour, the door of the room opened and A dark form filled the light, "who are you?" I asked, "what do you want?" The guys moved forward. Slap! His hand hit my face so hard that my head jerked sideways, " Don''t you dare make demands of me! " He yelled right in front of my face, pulling on my hair to make me look him in the eye. By now tears were rolling down my cheeks, and I felt them dripping off my chin into my lap. "Understood?" He pulled me harder. " Y. Yes," I shuttered, full sobs now racking my body. He moved back, "Good". He smirked, he was wearing business attire. He looked young and like a savage guy who would do anything for power. He had nothing but fiery eyes. He looked at me coldly, and his eyes landed on my lips, in seconds he landed his lips on mine and forcefully kissed me, he bit down my lip and blood was coming out of it. I tried to move my head but his grip on my hair was strong. He moved back, smirking, and he took his phone out of his pocket and started recording a video of me. I was crying and struggling to get out of this chair, Then smirking He walked out of the room locking the door. I was left alone in the dark. Droplets of sweat ran down my head and neck. ****************** Lorenzo''s p.o.v. "Alright, gentleman. I''m in front of you to present our new product. During the presentation, you can ask your questions and clarify if you want to. "My secretary informed me and started the presentation. Everyone was listening to it very carefully, and suddenly my phone started ringing. Everyone looked at me, I took my phone and James'' name was flashing on it, I quickly answered it. "Hello" "Boss, Good Evening. Miss Foster has been kidnapped, A van with four men in Black clothes took her from the backside of the school," he said calmly. I stood up, I looked at my secretary. He nodded, and I walked out of the conference Hall. "Track her," I said walking towards the elevator. "Boss, they left her bag here," he said. " Her Necklace " I walked into the elevator and pressed the button. "Yes, boss" I hung up, I called Seth. "Mate, It''s Anderson," he replied. "He''s over," I said a low voice, "Send our men to his location," I said and hung upon him. Anderson was my business partner, and I declined his latest offer for our company. He was angry with that. I noticed him watching Venessa at our club party; I made it clear that she''s mine. All my bodyguards were following me behind, and I climbed in my car and Paul started driving to our headquarters. While I was traveling to his place my phone received a notification, I opened it. There was a video, and I opened it. My anger rose and I clenched my fist, all my nerves were burning in anger. "I''ll kill him," I said in a low and determined voice. She was crying and struggling to get off of that chair, her lip had a cut and blood was coming out of it and there was a bruise on her chick. How dare he touch my girl, and I was shaking with anger. John called and informed me of her location, "I''m coming baby girl, be strong, I''m coming" ******* Venessa''s P.O.V. "Please... I want some water, just water... please," I was sobbing and begging them for water, Nobody was listening to me. I was never afraid of staying Alone, After my parent''s deaths, I was very scared to stay without them. But I overcame my fears and stayed in my home alone without anyone with me. It was difficult to survive without anyone''s help in this big City. I never had taken anybody''s help and survived till now, but right now I need help, I want someone to save me from this freak. I''m scared, what will he do with me? "Enzo...Enzo... Please save me...take me away..." I was crying and shouting for Enzo. "Help! Please! (break down, crying) Please! Please! (sobbing) Please! " Then suddenly the door of the room opened and that same man walked to me with a very irritated expression on his face, he grabbed my hair and pulled me to him. "Open your mouth," he said. I slowly opened my mouth, and he lifted the water bottle and poured water in my mouth. I drank all of it; I was that thirsty. He then threw a water bottle aside and Forced his lip on mine, trying to kiss me forcefully. I was crying and struggling to move my Head aside but his hand was gripping my hair and forcing my head to be steady, I was crying praying for someone to come and help me. Enz... Suddenly somebody kicked the door and walked inside, quickly this man moved aside and took a gun from his pocket and pointed it on my head. Crying, I looked up to see my man, Enzo. Calmly standing with his hands in his pockets, but I see in his eyes The Anger. He walked towards me and stopped in front of me, Enzo''s bodyguards came in and brought a chair with them and put that behind Enzo. He sat on it putting his right leg over his left, and He leaned back. He looked at the man behind me. How can he be this calm and collective while I''m shivering here? "I''ll give you two options, Anderson," he said in his serious tone, looking at that Anderson man. "One! beg my women for mercy. Two..."(Bending a bit) ".... die," he said in a very intimidating tone. That Anderson man chuckled at Enzo''s words, "How about I kill her in front of you and kill you" Enzo slowly smirked at him, suddenly something hit the mirror of the window and directly hit Anderson. He screamed and fell down on the floor. Enzo got up from his chair and walked towards me. He untied me, and I pushed him back lightly and walked towards Anderson and checked whether he is alive or dead. He was alive and unconscious, I realized a breath I was holding. I turned and ran in his arms hugging Enzo tightly,started crying again. He lifted me up and wrapped my legs around his waist, and my hands were around his neck. He walked us to his car, and I noticed that he kept me captive in an old apartment, and nobody was there, it was empty. We climbed inside and sitting on his lap, I closed my eyes, slowly drifting into a peaceful sleep. Chapter 26：Shes Mine Lorenzo''s P.O.V. I reached the location John sent me, it was an old abandoned apartment building, it was held under tight security. "Don''t worry, stay here. We''ll wipe out the building in a second. Just don''t come out of the car," Seth said and stepped out of the car. I watched them killing every single guard at the building, and I''m very proud of my men. They are perfect working under me, every single person who opposed me or stood against me were killed brutally by my men. No one ever betrayed me, and every single person was trustworthy in my team, They''ll even sacrifice themselves for me. That''s my man. I walked inside the basement and towards Seth who was standing outside of a room, I reached him "he''s inside," he said, I nodded and kicked the door open. I walked inside casually, my hands in my pocket. I saw him kissing my baby forcefully, my blood boiled but I didn''t react, because he wanted it. He wants me to react and show my true self to my baby girl. He wants to take advantage of it and manipulate my girl. So, I didn''t react, he noticed me and moved behind, took a gun from his pocket pointing it on my girl. I stood in front of my baby girl, and I looked at her tears and blood strained face, my anger rose. I gritted my teeth in anger. I want to rip his heart out with my own hands for touching what''s mine, I want to cut his every finger very slowly and painful. You''re dead Anderson not Even god can save you from me. I sat down on the chair with my right leg over my left one, I gave him two options, however, I''m not going to leave me, but still, I gave him. Because he''s lucky because my baby girl was watching us. He didn''t choose either of it, and my men shot him. He passed out on the floor; I stood up and untied her, I opened my arms to hug her, but she ran to that bastard and checked, whether he''s alive or dead, Such a kind girl she is. She relaxed and ran into my arms, hugged me tightly. She was sobbing and shaking in my arms. I held her in my arms, and we walked out of the room. I looked at Seth; he nodded and my men walked behind Seth. I took my baby girl to my car, we climbed inside and she was sitting on my lap, I was rubbing her back, calming her. She tugged her hands-free and leaned into me, sobbing and shaking, unable to control herself. After sobbing herself to sleep, she buried her face in my chest. She felt so tiny in my arms. After reaching Beverly hills, Paul stopped at my mansion. I walked inside, seeing me, with my baby girl in my arms, Judy rushed towards us with a first aid kit, I walked towards my bedroom and Judy opened the door. I put her down carefully on my bed and Judy handed me the first aid kit, I carefully cleaned her wounds. I covered her with a blanket and walked out of the room closing the door behind. I called Seth, and he picked up in just a second. "Mate, we''re are at our headquarter basement," he said. I hung up the phone and walked towards my car, and Paul started the car. I climbed inside, he drove us out of Beverly hills. ********** Venessa''s P.O.V. When I woke up feeling hungry, I was under a soft mattress, on a bed. I panicked and quickly got up and looked around, and I realized It was Enzo''s bedroom. I relaxed and walked towards the washroom, and I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the reflection, my lips had a cut and it was cleaned, there was a bruise on my chick. It was big and fingers prints were visible, tears started rolling in my eyes. I looked down at my hands; they were bruises on them too. I was sobbing and choking convulsively. Sobbing I dropped to my knees Half an hour later, my eyes swollen and my chest sore from sobbing, I stood up, turned my face up to the warm water in the shower. After having a warm water shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and walked into the closet, I took my undergarments and wore them, I walked towards Enzo''s Shirts, took a white shirt and wore it. I walked out of the closest and saw Judy standing there with dinner and I can see the sadness in her eyes I lowered my head slowly walked to the bed and climbed on it, Judy walked to me and stood beside me, I burst into tears, covering my face with shaking hands, I sobbed my heart out. Judy held me, seizing me in her arms. "Why is this always happening to me?" I was sobbing uncontrollably. " Please calm down dear... Don''t cry," Judy said, rubbing my back with her hands. After crying my eyes out, I calmed down, she wiped my tears. "You shouldn''t cry dear; you''re stronger than this." She consoled me, she then took the dinner plate in her hands and started feeding me. ********* Enzo''s p.o.v DISTURBING CONTENT AHEAD, SKIP IT IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT. "Please leave me; I''m sorry... Please forgive me... " Anderson, pleading me, he was tied to a chair. Seeing me, he started to cry and beg for his life. "You should''ve thought about it before touching my girl," I said. We''re in my basement, with my men guarding it. Seth and John were also present in this room with me; they love it when I torture my enemies here. They never missed a thing. "Seth" I called out, he handed me a fence cutter. Seeing it, Anderson started crying and shouting for help. "Oh No... No No, please... Lorenzo please, I beg you... Please... " I walked over to him, sat on a chair In front of him. John kept a table between us and placed Anderson''s hand on the table. "Please.....Please... please please, Help... Help..." He was shouting. I placed a thumb finger in the fence cutter, and I started to press the cutter slowly. "How *harder* Dare *harder* You *harder* Touch *harder* * screaming* My *harder* * screaming* Girl " I said with dripping venom in my voice. His finger fell on the table, and blood was oozing out of his finger. He was screaming his lungs out, "Dud....Lower your voice. People will hear you " Seth warns him. He was grunting, I put his another finger in it and pressed the cuter, "Please... please... Please... I''m sorry... Please...Ahhhh," he screamed. "You''re sorry? DID YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID TO HER, FACE, you bastard," I shouted, pulled his finger out. "Ahhhhh....Oh my...Finger," he cried, "Did you leave her, when she begged you?," I shouted on his face, pulling his another finger out. "Did you leave her, When she begged you? Answer Me," I shouted, pulling his another finger. "Ahhh...haha...Noooooo... ahh," he cried out, tears were steaming from his eyes. Blood was flowing down from the table, he was crying, screaming, and begging us to leave him. I stood up, John lifted the table, kept that table at a corner, I grabbed his hair making him look at me. "You shouldn''t have done that Anderson, Now DIE!!!" I shouted on his face and punched him on his nose. "John!!!" I shouted. I lifted my hand, and he walked over and placed my knife on my hand. I smirked looking at him, "Happy suffering" He started screaming and begging for his life. I pushed the knife in his chest very slowly and carefully, making him scream out, then I pulled the knife out in a swift motion. Blood was flowing down from his chest. I placed my hand on his chest, pushing my hand inside carefully. He started coughing and grunting, I can feel his heart beating furiously in my hand, I grabbed it and looking at his face, I pulled it out. Screaming "SHE IS MINE!!!!!!!" Chapter 27：Its Massive I was breathing hard, John and Seth were looking at me with a shocked expression on their faces, I was staring his lifeless body. There was blood all over my shirt; I took a deep breath and relaxed my nerves. Calming myself I strode out of the place, went to my room which was on upstairs. I opened the door, stepped inside my shower, I stood there showering with hot water. Her suffering was flashing in my mind, Her crying face, screaming for help, everything. I needed to see her right now or else I don''t know what I''ll do, I dressed up in my Black suite. I went out of the room. On the way to my car, I noticed Seth looking at me with a kind of expression I couldn''t understand, I''m good at reading people but he''s a look, confused me. I climbed inside my car, paul started the car engine. I waited patiently for my mansion, After some time we reached the estate. Paul didn''t even stop the car, I opened the door and stepped out of the car. I walked with long strides and made my bedroom; I pushed the door and saw Judy feeding my baby girl. I see her in my shirt, it reached her thighs; she was so hot in my shirt. I want her to wear my shirts more. I stepped closer to them, I noticed her swollen eyes and tears strained face. Did she cry? Why did she cry? I killed that bastard for hurting her already, oh she doesn''t know that, right! Judy stood up from the bed and left us alone closing the door behind. She was looking at me with those pretty eyes; I caressed her cheek. It was so soft, she hissed lightly. I whirled my hand and realized that I touched her wound. "I''m sorry," I said, "Why are you sorry?"she asked confused, "For everything, he wouldn''t kidnap you if you weren''t involved with me, I promised to protect you, but I didn''t,"I said feeling guilty about it. She pulled me onto the bed, touching my cheek. ****** Venessa''s P.O. V "Don''t blame yourself, Enzo, being with you was my choice. Whereas in the kidnapping case, there''s my mistake too. I shouldn''t have gone there" I said, He looked at me for a second and asked, "why did you go there?" "There was a piece of paper in my notebook, someone put it in my book asking me to meet them at the backside of the school. So I went there and then someone from behind covered my mouth with a handkerchief and I passed out, when I woke up I was tied to that chair,"I said, remembering that event. "Let''s forget about it, shall we?" I nodded, I was staring him. How can someone be this kind, There''s this thing, which I can''t explain? It always pulls me towards Enzo, whatever he does, it draws me towards him. I''m lucky to have someone like him in my life, I promise you Enzo I will never leave you, I will stay with you my whole life. ******* After feeding me, he placed the plate on the table. He stood up and walked into the closest, returned in just sweatpants. I gulped looking at him, he wasn''t looking at me, staring him. He was fixing his silky smooth black hair, This man always makes me wet by doing simple things. How does he do that, I couldn''t control myself anymore. I was biting my lower lip, I reached him and pulled him on me. He fell on to me, I don''t know from where I''m getting this courage to do this. I can not control this intense Feeling at all, we landed on the bed, me... underneath him, him... on me. I grabbed his face and kissed him, he was shocked first. But quickly responded, his hands were either side of me. Balancing, Not to put his weight on me. It turned into a passionate kiss, my hands reached his neck and grabbed his hair, it so intense Feeling ever. We were kissing furiously, I flipped him over and climbed on him. My hands automatically started touching his body, electricity was shooting all over me. Touching his hard chest, teasing his nipple, caressing his abs, I reached his v line. I can feel him taking a sharp intake; I broked our kiss, looked into his beautiful green eyes. " Relax, Baby girl. You can do whatever you want, I''m all yours," he said, looking at me. I leaned down and kissed him, he reached down and helped me remove his shirt, Then his hands were on my shoulders, they reached my bra, opened it and freed my boobs. I reached his sweatpants, helped him remove it without breaking our kiss. I can feel his bulge touching mine, He hands were all over my back, he slowly moved them to my breasts, he reached my left breast and squeezes it, he then whispered "I want to Fuck you.... Slow... Deep... Hard... Fast" in his seductive voice, This man makes me burn with desire. His long fingers massaging my firm breasts, My hand reached his v line again, I pulled his boxers out of his body. I broke the kiss, reached down. I gazed at his hard and massive dick, he has a beautiful thick ridge running up the underside, his cock is thick at the base, thicker than three fingers. I don''t know how it fitted me, it gets little thinner towards the tip, but his head is deep, rich purple-red in color and looks to be almost as wide as the base. I looked back at his beautiful face. I reached down and traced my finger on his dick, he took a sharp intake. I want this in my mouth, I want to watch him, while I give him a blow job, I never ever thought that I...will give a blow job to someone, it''s my first time ever. Enzo understands me, he took my hands and slowly guided me to his dick. I hold it in my hands, looking at Enzo, I opened my mouth. His thick head passes between my lips and slides over my tongue, quickly followed by the rest of his member. If it looked big before, it would feel utterly massive in my mouth. I feel my eyes widening in shock as he Forces his length all the way inside my mouth, as far as it can go. The tip of his dick almost touches back of my throat, and I had to force myself not to gag. The inch or so won''t fit in my mouth. He''s too big, the base of his crook is too thick, I feel a strange sensation of shame and disappointment like I''ve let him down by not being able to take his whole length down my throat. He started to fuck my mouth, he thrusts in and out holding my hair. Fucking my face as though he''s fucking my pussy. I let out a deep growl of intense erotic satisfaction. It feels so good and incredible, The whole situation drives me wild, my pussy throb and tingle. My pussy aching for his attention, entrance soaked and ready for him. I hear amusement, I looked at his face. It was beautiful to watch him, his eyes back, head up Oh my gosh !!!!. I started moving my head faster and faster, he decreased his grip on my hair. Pushing his dick into my mouth harder and harder, I make throaty gagging sounds and groan in satisfaction, I fucking love this. Spit and drool start to trickle over my lips, down my chin. Spilling from his hot cock, as I am pushing it in and out. It''s turning me on, even more, I hear him groan as he came all over my mouth and looking at his face, I swallowed it completely. Chapter 28：Ready For A Trip "Fuck, That was good," he says. "you got a damn good mouth," I groaned, "Thank you" into his cock. I removed his dick from my mouth, I was gasping, panting. Drool and spit coat my lips, trickling down my chin. I wiped it with the back of my hand; I never felt so hot before. I love it. I climbed on him, kisses him. His hands moved to my butt. He grabbed his dick, I gasp as the thick, deep red-purple head of his manhood touched my lips of my sex, gently parting me. I look into his eyes, his face has a picture of lust and hunger; he pushes forward. "Oh fuck," I said with a passionate groan, my hands on his hard chest, as I sit upright on him, letting his full, thick, hard length enter inside me. My groan of intense delight grows louder with every inch that sinks inside me, his length touches every part of me. I toss my head back and close my eyes, biting my lower lip I let out a deep growl of utter bliss. He groans in pleasure, one hand on my hip, and using his free hand to grab my breasts. My body, my breasts bouncing on top of him, his dick deep deep deep inside me. I moan for him, "oh," the burning intense heat in my sex now grows larger, threatening to consume my body. My body rocks up and down, my moans and purrs of passion filling the quiet room. My toes curl, I am poised on the edge of an orgasm. My sex tightens around his length, holding him, squeezing him trying to keep him in place. His cock going deeper inside me, filling me in with every stroke. "Fuck yes," he says, squeezing my breast tighter with his long, strong fingers. My groans of pleasure are deep and animalistic. "Ah... Fuck...Ahh," I moan, his eyes gleam with Lust and passion. "Yeah," he says. The orgasm hits, I came hard, My body rocks, I cry out. Groaning in pleasure pulling me down onto his cock forcing his length deeper inside me. I feel his cock twitch and pump few more times, his hot come filling me, He groans as his climax passes. I fell on him, played there. Both breathing hard, sweating. As my climax subsides, A single thought fills my mind, WOW. "That was amazing," he says, he covered us in a blanket. I feel his length slipping out of me; he wrapped his hands around me. "Enzo....?" I called. "Hm?" He replied, "Who was that guy?" I asked, looking at him. He traced my lower lip with his thumb, "He was my business partner, Don''t worry he won''t be able to touch you again," he assured kissing me, flipping me over, climbing on me. We did it again, Maybe more than four times changing positions I lost count of it, It was intense and hot. Breathing hard, sweating, I flopped on his hard chest. He kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me, feeling exhausted I fell asleep on him. ********** I woke up feeling his hot breath on my neck, his chest rising me and falling down. I was still on him; I slowly climbed off him. I walked into the bathroom naked, did my morning routines. I took a shower and wrapped a towel around me. I walked out of the bathroom and noticed a sheet of the morning after pills, laying on the standing table. There was a note under it, I take it in my hand. Enjoy was written on it, Judy. I blushed, I fold it. I was about turn; Enzo grabbed my wrist, pulling me onto him. "Good morning" he greeted looking into my eyes, "Good morning," I replied. I tried to get up, but he pulled me again, "Enzo," I said, blushing. He moved to my ear whispering "I want you...( biting my ear slightly)...Now" I blushed, tried to move but, he held me there. "Enzo... I need to go" I said As I tried to get up, "What? You''re not going anywhere," he says, seriously. "I have school, Enzo," I said looking at him, "You! Are!.Not!Going!Anywhere!" he said, pressing every word with a deadly expression, it was very intimidating. I gulped and nodded. He instantly gave his beautiful smile, "good girl." He rolled me, and he was top of me, he removed my towel and started giving wet kisses on my neck, jawline, neck bone. I was breathing hard and my body reacted to his touch and yearned for his length inside me. He suddenly stopped it, stood up, and got up from the bed. I was looking at him, I was sad that he stopped, my body already started missing his touch. He smirked and walked into the bathroom, I was frustrated. I stood up from the bed, wrapped the towel. I moved to the standing table and took a pill in my palm, put it in my mouth, and drank a glass of water. I walked into the closet and got dressed when I walked outside. I noticed my phone vibrating, I moved to the standing table. I see missed calls from my grandma, I called her back. She answered right away, I was talking to her and walk out of the room and into the corridor. I was walking straight and reached the stairs, I climbed and reached a floor. I walked straight, I stopped. I looked around, I was lost "Grandma I''ll call you back" "Ok, darling" she hung up. There was one metal door at the corner of the floor, I walked there. It was locked, I tried to touch it "Venessa" I flinched and turned back to see Judy, with a panicked expression. She walked to me, took my hand dragging me with her, She took me to an empty guest room, closing the door she turned around, "Never Ever... Go there," she says, looking around. I was confused why is she looking around? , "ok," I said, nodding. She signed, touched my head smiling at me she walked out of the room. My curiosity increased, What''s in that room ?. I will have to find it, for sure. Keeping that in mind, I walked downstairs to have my breakfast. I heard him talking to someone on the phone, "Ok... I''ll try" I never saw Enzo talking to someone so politely before. This must be someone special to him, I walked over sat down on a chair across him. He looked at me and smiled, his smile Cure''s every single thought in my head, I love it, I smiled back. Judy came over with breakfast and severed us, I was pretending to eat with full concentration but I was listening to his conversation. I was curious, who is that he''s talking to. He hung up, he started having his breakfast. We were silently having our breakfast, I was dying with curiosity to know who was that. After having his breakfast, he stood up. "We''re going to my parent''s house, be ready at noon," he said, "But my school" He gave a serious look, I shut my mouth. Walking towards me he Kissed me. We parted, I blushed, He smiled. He turned to Judy "Help her, Judy," he says walking out. ************** I''m done with my packing, and Paul took our luggage to the car and loaded it. "Please get in Venessa, Mr. Francisco will meet you directly at the airport." Paul informed me, I nodded and got in. He took me to Enzo, who was standing at the entrance with his bodyguards around him. Literally, five well-built bulky men were around him. He walked to me, kissing me he took us inside. SHOOT!!! He has his own fucking jet, I looked at him. He smiled, kissing me on my forehead. There were four air hosts dressed in deep red dresses and bodyguards, They greeted us and lead us in. It was beautiful inside, I sat down on thinking plush butter-soft leather seating. It was huge, spacious inside, I don''t know much about jets but I think its BBJ Max with new Boeing Sky Interior, It was beautiful with LED lightings. It was in gray and white combination, Couches, tables everything. Enzo sat in front of me, "You liked it? " He asked, looking at me. "It''s beautiful," I said, admiring everything. He smiled at me, one of his bodyguards came over and handed him his laptop, he took it and placed on the table, started doing his work in his laptop. Looking at the sky through the window, I took my phone out, put my earphones in my ears, started playing my favorites songs. I closed my eyes, leaning into the soft couch. *********** Enzo''s POV I was busy, checking new projects and offers. Sitting in my expensive jet with my girl is a good feeling which I couldn''t explain. The look on her face when she saw the interior of my jet was worth buying a thousand more jets only for her. Once in awhile glancing at her, I was doing my work. She was sleeping peacefully like a baby in the couch, suddenly I hear her saying something so I looked up to see her singing some song, her eyebrows furrowed. She was singing in a low voice and gradually she started to raise her voice and I recognized the song. It was "God is a woman" by "Ariana Grande" It was beautiful to look at her while she''s singing. She started to move her hands, making those fucking gestures. Fuck!!! It''s very difficult for me to watch her while she does that. She was singing the last part of the song with high notes. "You, you love it how I move you You love it how I touch you My one, when all is said and done You''ll believe God is a woman And I, I feel it after midnight A feelin'' that you can''t fight My one, it lingers when we''re done You''ll believe God is a woman, yeah, yeah . " she sings. I wasn''t able to control myself at all, Never in my life, I lost control over my body before. The day she stepped into my life, I started to lose control over my body. Every time I see her, the innocence, Her submissive behavior, Her kind nature, The way she moves draws me to her like no other. Last night I was shocked to see her doing all that, I know it was her first time doing all that. So I helped her a little, but I never expected she would be that good at bow job It was so hot to watch her riding me like that, I never allowed any woman to ride me. I really don''t know why I allowed her and Even helped her The way she did that, it was still fresh in my mind like it was tattooed that hot movement, every single time it flashed It was so beautiful and hot, I enjoyed her on me. She doesn''t belong with me, in my world But I want it, I want this innocence in my life. I once lost that in my life because of my mistake I can''t lose her too he will never know things that I did get her e will never know about my true self. That day when she saved Nikolai from one of his enemies, my men called me I told them to stand by because I know her if she knows that I put my men around her she will react badly. My blood boiled knowing she saved one of my biggest enemies, I wanted to punish her. But I didn''t I couldn''t. I can never hurt her, I don''t want to see tears in her eyes After that incident I didn''t see Nikolai again, It was suspicious because Men like Nikolai don''t disappear without a specific reason My track team searched for him, to know what he''s doing. It''s one of my habits that I keep track of my enemies, I know their every single step. My world is dangerous, I have so many enemies waiting for a chance to kill me. She shouldn''t know any of this, I know that she hates violence. I will do anything to hide another side of my world from her. Because...I Love Her. Chapter 29：Beautiful Movements Venessa''s POV I woke up feeling someone shaking me; I opened my eyes to see Enzo''s face. "Wake up, come on," he said, extending his hand. I took it and stood up. He kissed my hand, I smiled and followed him stepping outside. It was evening. The sun was setting, there was Limo waiting for us. We climbed inside, all this while my hand was in his. My hand is so small compared to his, it fits perfectly. After driving for hours, we reached a harbor, we got out of the car. There was a beautiful yacht, it was so beautiful and huge. It was maybe 84-meter! Enzo put his hand on the back of my back, lead me to the yacht. We walked inside, it was beautiful inside. There was an 8-9meter swimming pool to create a gigantic open space on the main deck. It was virtually a natural transition between the indoor salon and the outdoor swimming pool, Low lounging furniture located all around the swimming pool create an ideal location for sunbathing, while at the same time letting us experience an untampered view all around from the mosaic swimming pool. They have also built railings have also in such a manner as to keep an open view. Inside the main deck, the circular layout theme continues with round shapes found in a variety of places. From the light spread on the ceiling to the concealed staircase on the side to the shapes of the carpets and furniture, the circular theme spreads throughout the main deck lounge. It was so beautiful to look at. I never saw this beautiful yacht ever in my life. I hung my mouth open, and Enzo chuckled. "Come," he said, taking my hand in his, we walked inside, instead of cutting through rooms in a straight line, corridors flow throughout the layout of the yacht in curves, mimicking the shape of a wave and the sea as they spread through the yacht. In between the main salon and the upper deck, the lounge is two tall, video screens built into the wall that features abstract video art that spreads across the decks. Lighting scheme inside features up to 10 different colors, lenses and positions. The yacht''s exterior strip lighting was, on the other hand developed by Total Looks. It was so beautiful, past the tall video screens, we walked to the yacht''s main dining table, capable of comfortably accommodating all 12 members. I also spot the same outdoor to indoor transition that I saw on the main deck can also on the upper deck, as seemingly endless windows can be stacked away to open the area completely onto the outside lounge, perfectly suited for cocktails. The underwater observation lounge also doubles as a cinema with a giant screen dropping down from the ceiling and transforming the area from a place to stare at the depths of the ocean into a fully functional cinema. I was admiring the room, but Enzo started pulling from there. we moved forward on the upper deck to the owner''s stateroom. He opened the door allowing me to go first, and It was so beautiful, the room was offering an unparalleled, 180-degree view as the yacht cruises forward, the master stateroom basically translates to an owner''s deck, complete with a study and lounge. To offer even more light, a glass feature was installed into the suite''s ceiling. Built as a separate room, adjacent to the entrance to the master stateroom, the owner''s study features floor-to-ceiling windows, a fully-stocked library and a lounging area. I walked inside taking my time, admiring the room. I walked to the library, I traced my fingers on the books. Enzo came forward, I turned to him. smiling at me, he took my hand leading me up on the third deck it starts a transition to a wellness area with a well-equipped gym located aft of the deck with the same transition from outdoor to indoor as guests previously had found on lower decks. A space dedicated to relaxing in the summer sun, yacht''s sundeck features extensive space for lounging. Sunbeds are located aft of the deck, with a lounging area, which could be used as a casual dining spot protected by shade from yacht''s roof. I moved forward of the sundeck can be found even more lounging space protected by shade as well as extensive areas for sunbathing on the sides of the yacht. Towards the bow is a hot tub that blends into the deck with no railings around and nothing to block an incomparable view. I walked there and settled on the sofa, I was smiling like a kid who just got her favorite toy. I couldn''t explain how beautiful the yacht was. I can feel Enzo behind me, I looked at him. He settled beside me, I held his shoulder and put my head on him. Yacht started moving, the view of the sun setting was beautiful from here. "It''s a beautiful view," I whispered, looking down at me " it is," he said. We stared at each other, He bent down, his lips against my cheek, brushing it lightly-and still, that light touch sent shivers through my nerves, shivers that made my whole body tremble. His lips meet mine, We are kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, carefully gentle but demanding, It was a passionate kiss, The feeling was so good, the situation and this movement I will never forgot this in my life. He was filling a deep hollow which my parents left inside me and I am letting him. *************** We were relaxing under the sundeck looking at the stars, it was dark now. Far from the yacht, I can see an Island. Turning to Enzo I asked, "Are we going to that Island" pointing at the island, he nodded "where are we?" I asked. "Italy" He answered. "Italy!!!"I exclaimed. I love Italy I always wanted to come here, but I couldn''t, I''m so happy right now, I was gleaming with joy. "Oh my God." ****** It was dark, we reached the Island. We walked out of the harbor, it was cold my body was shivering. Enzo removed his coat and placed it over me, I clenched to it, there was a limo waiting for us. We climbed inside, outside of was dark and we passed through the thick forest, after 20 minutes of driving the car stopped. We stepped out of the limo, and my mouth hangs open looking at the big mansion in front of me. It was at top of the hill, it was a square-foot, five-floor mansion other than the main house there were two guest houses located at either side, there was a big garage, it can hold at least 50 cars. Enzo put his hand on the small of my back leading me to the entrance, bodyguards were guarding either side of the entrance. One of them opened the big door, we walked inside the mansion into a very big hall. There were big sofas, a huge dining table. "Ragazzo Mio," [my boy ] exclaimed a woman in her early 30s, walking towards us opening her arms. Enzo walked to her hugging her, she was tall beautiful with black hair like Enzo. "¨¨ passato molto tempo,"[It''s been so long] she said, releasing him. Kissing him on his forehead, I couldn''t understand anything because I don''t speak Italian, I have to learn it. It''s my first priority now, she noticed me."Oh dear, where are my manners. My name is Andrea Francisco Enzo''s mom" hugging me "I''m Venessa Foster nice to meet you, Mrs.Francisco. This is for you, its a thank you gift for having us over, Enzo said you love sunflowers" I said, giving her sunflowers which I brought for her from the store without Enzo''s knowledge. Yeah, he didn''t tell me that, Judy informed me that Andera loves sunflowers. " Don''t be formal now, you can call me Andrea and I love this sunflower there going to join my garden, Thank you dear." she said admiring sunflowers. "You''re welcome...Andrea" I said, "What a wonderful girl," she said touching my head and looking at Enzo. "Go fresh up and come down for dinner," she said looking at us. Enzo kissing on her cheek he grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. We walked inside a lift which was located at the beside the stairs, we stepped inside he pressed the button, it''s a see-through door. Andrea was smiling at us, we reached the second floor. Doors opened with a cheerful ding, Enzo walked out first I followed him. He opened the door letting me in first, I walked inside, the room was huge with a king-size bed, sofas, and couch, T.V with a single painting hanging with the big window and sliders of the balcony, it was a walking woman painted in multiple colors. It was beautiful to look at, the room was in gray and white color combination. Enzo wrapped his hands around my waist from behind me, putting his head on my shoulder "I love you," he whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek. I turned around and our lips meet, we kissed each other furiously. He lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, he took us inside the bathroom and pinned me to the wall under the shower, he let the water down, I ripped his shirt and he removed my top and gave wet kisses to neck and jawline, his lips once again connected to my lips kissing me hungrily. He removed my bra and underwear, he bends down putting my nipple inside his mouth. Sucking and biting it, I grabbed his hair, He removed his pants and the tip of his manhood touched my entrance, in a swift motion, he pushed it deep inside me, he whole length filled every corner of my hole. His thrusts were fast, deep, and hard, "hold tight," he said in his hoarse voice, suddenly he moved back from the wall and I gasped wrapping my hands around his neck, as his whole length disappeared deep inside my hole. "Did you like it baby?" he said thrusting me harder and sucking my nipple, my body was bouncing on his length, he was grunting, I was moaning. My orgasm built, and I might come in any movement, he sensed it, "Don''t come," he ordered, my body was on edge. I moved deeper and deeper with every thrusting, we both came hard, he pushed me to the wall and put his head in the nape of my neck, breathing hard. We got dressed and came downstairs for dinner. I see maids placing the dishes on the dining table, we walked down, I sat down beside Enzo. Andrea with a tall man was walking down the stairs, They walked closer I can recognize him as Enzo''s father, Enzo got his father''s eyes, height, and some features. "Enzo" His father called, Enzo stood up from the chair began to walk towards them, he hugs his father. His father patted him on his back shoulder, "come Stai Enzo?" [How are you son?" He asked Enzo touching his shoulders, I stood up from the chair watching them."Sto bene,e voi come state? " [I''m Good how are you people? ] Enzo said, for the first time in Italian. He sounds so hot with his deep voice, "Manchi tanto a tua madre, dovresti chiamarla pi¨² spesso"[ we are good but your mother remembers you,you should call her] he said, pointing at his mom. Enzo turned to his mother smiling at her, "Mi dispiace mamma,sicuramente passer¨® del tempo con te da ora in poi."[Im sorry mother I will definitely spend quantity time with ] He said hugging her" Ti Amo" [love you]. "Ti amo anch''io Ragazzo Mio,"[I love you too my boy] she said, touching his jawline. Mr.Francisco noticed me and walked towards me"Hello, dear my name is Edoardo Francisco good to meet you " Extending his hand, I took his hand "My name is Vennesa Foster, Good to meet you too Mr. Francisco" He smiled at me " You can call me Edoardo dear " "Ok Edoardo" He touched my head with affection in eyes, I smiled. Maids served us food in our plates, we started digging in, "So, Venessa dear Tell us about you," Andrea asked, "There is nothing much about me, I''m just a high school student," I said shyly. Enzo put his hand on my thigh, I raised my head and meet his eyes. He smiled, his smile does wonders to me. I turned to His parents who were silently watching us with a smile on their faces, "What do your parents do Venessa?" Edoardo asked me taking a sip of his soup, "They...are no more," I said in low voice I doubt that they heard me. "What happened?" Andera asked, "My dad died in a car accident when I was 8 years old and my mom died due to cancer 3 years back, I only have my grandma left," I said controlling my tears. "No dear you have us all don''t think you''re alone we are with you and your family Venessa" Andrea assured me, I smiled at her. "Yes dear, you''re one of us from now on do not think you''re alone," Edoardo said putting his on mine and lightly squeezing it. I smiled at him and turned my head to look at Enzo, he was smiling too. And finally, I have a family. "Lorenzo" came a female voice, and I turned to look at them. Chapter 30：My Confession She was a tall woman and an exact copy of Enzo; she ran towards Enzo He lifted her up and spun her around; he put her down. Their laughter filled the room. "Come stai Fratello?"[How are you brother?] "Sto bene, dimmi come stai"[I''m good, you tell me how are you?] "Sto bene, giuro che non mi sei mai mancato," [I''m good, I swear I never missed you.] she said, "Oh really," he said, slapping her head. I only understood his last words. Nothing in their conversation made sense to me. I was trying hard not to show that on my face, I never saw Enzo like this before. I never saw him talking to someone this freely other than me this shows how much he loves and cares for his family, I don''t know who that woman was but I''m very uncomfortable with their closeness, I''m jealous. They walked towards the dining table. She greeted Mr. and Mrs. Francisco. She looked at me. I smiled at her. "Hi, I''m Antia Francisco his sister," she said, hugging me. Oh!!! Thank god, I thought to myself, hugging her back. "I''m Venessa Foster." She looked at me for a second searching something on my face. She then turned towards Enzo and smiled at him. He smiled back. I wasn''t able to understand why they were looking at me and smiling at each other. "Ok, you people to continue I''ll join you in just a few minutes," she said, stepping towards the elevator. We sat down in our seats and had our dinner, while I''m having my meal he suddenly kept his hand on my thigh which made me slightly jump on my seat, "Are you okay Venessa?" asked Andera with a worried expression on her face, "yeah, I''m okay" I assured her, Enzo slowly moved his hand upwards I couldn''t even hold the spoon in my hand properly, I moved my hand below the table grabbing his hand I tried to move it away from my thighs, but his grabbed my hand instead, interweaving our fingers. His thumb rubbing my skin softly, "you should leave her hand Enzo, you can see her difficulty in having her meal" said Antia stepping down the stairs, I quickly tried to pull my hand from his grasp but he didn''t let that happen. She walked to the dining table and took her seat beside Andera, Edoardo and Andera were smiling and I was blushing hard. I lowered my head. Enzo raised our hand I turned my head to look at him. Looking into my eyes, he kissed my knuckles. We were lost in each other eyes, that we weren''t noticing the shocked expressions on their faces, I couldn''t blink, I couldn''t tear my eyes away from his. They are so beautiful, warm, silky, and soothing that I didn''t want to. I was unaware of anything around me, then Antia cleared her throat, Ruining our perfect movement which snapped us out. I looked at them and noticed Andera and Edoardo''s amused expression on their faces. I flushed and lowered my head. Enzo chuckled at my reaction. "Enzo, stop it, you are making her uncomfortable," said Andera, chuckling at her son. He turned his hand towards me. I side glanced at him. Without raising my head. "This is so tasty," said Antia, drawing everyone''s attention off me. For this I have to thank her after our dinner, I hate attention. It makes me so nervous and uneasy. "Yeah, it is," said Edoardo. Taking a bite of lasagne, we continued to have our dinner. Enzo and his father were talking about the business. Antia called me. I looked up from my plate. "Where do you live?" She asked, I was nervous to answer her because you know, I''m with Enzo I don''t know what they''ll think of me if I say that I''m living with him. "Los Angeles," I replied. "Where in LA?Don''t mind me asking you know, I travel a lot to LA we can meet up someday," she explained, "I don''t mind answering you, Right now I''m living with Enzo," I replied, "Oh!" she exclaimed looking at Enzo, Enzo was having a deep conversation with his father turned to us. "So, you guys are in a live-in relationship," she said looking at us. "No." "Yes.'' We both said at once, I said No; he said Yes. We glanced at each other. "It''s temporary, she lives in south bay, because of some problem she had to leave her house," He explained, "What problem, Is it serious?" Anders asked with a worried expression, Enzo looking down at me. "Nothing serious, it''s been taken care off," he answered."if you have any problem, don''t hesitate to contact us, honey," said Andrea, "I will, Thank you," I replied. ********* After dinner, Enzo took me to his room. As I stepped, he turned me around and kissed me hungrily; he ripped my clothes, I ripped his, he lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We walked to his king-size bed and dropped me roughly, I landed on the soft mattress. He pulled his pants down, exposing his beautiful, hard, and massive dick. I was eagerly waiting for his dick to be inside me. He climbed on to the bed claiming my lips. **************** After our toe-curling lovemaking session, he moved to my side I rested my head on his chest. We both were breathing hard. "It was amazing," I said kissing his chest, he kissed my head. He climbed on him, he smiled and kissed my nose. I started playing with strands of his hair, my chest on his chest, his hand on my back. "Enzo." "Hm?" "I love you," He smiled at me. It was my first I love you. He said it several times, but I never said it to him. "I love you too," he said, staring into my eyes and kissing me lovingly. "Do you know why I love" I asked, fir that he shook his head. "I love you... because you complete me even when I''m full of faults, you are the reason my world has turned into a happier place, promise me you will never ever leave me alone as my parents did." He kissed my forehead and took my face in his hands," Baby, I promise I''ll never leave you alone no matter what, you will always be my girl, my queen, my everything..." I smiled and put my laid my head on his chest. "Baby," he whispered, "Hm?" I replied. "Let''s go outside," he said. I raised my head and asked, "Now?" "Yes." I thought for a second and biting my lip with excitement. "Ok, let''s go," I said. We got up from the bed and got dressed, Enzo interlocking his fingers with mine. We stepped inside the elevator; the doors closed with a cheerful ding. We looked at each other; I smiled at him. He kissed my hand, I pulled our interlocked hand and kissed on the back of his hand. The doors opened with a cheerful ding, we stepped outside the elevator and walked through the living area we reached the main door. Enzo''s bodyguard opened the door, and we stepped outside the mansion. Walking towards his garage, he pulled his mobile out of his pocket and called someone, I hear him saying "¨¨ fatta?" [Is it done?] "Bene"[good] I don''t know what the hell he was saying, but I was so excited to go out with him, his driver ran to us. "No, guido io," [No, I''ll drive.] Enzo said to his driver. He nodded and walked back. Enzo opened the door of his black Bugatti Veyron. It was so beautiful to look at, I got inside and the interior was mesmerizing. He got inside and started the engine, he drove us out of the mansion through tall trees covered either side of the road, we reached a place covered with trees like it was a dead-end, there was no road only a path which leads into the trees. It was a little scary. Enzo opened the car door and extended his hand. I took his hand and stepped out of the car. He put his hand on the small of my back leading me through the thick grove, suddenly he stopped walking, I looked up at him and he motions me to look at something; I turned my head to look at the way he''s motioned me to look at. "Wow!!!" Was the only word came out of my mouth, It was so gorgeous. The beach was so beautiful, The sea''s shoreline was lighted neon blue in the most magical manner the light was emitting from water, it was glowing beautifully. Every time a wave hits the shore it''s glowing brighter than before. The gentle surges of water lapping up against the shoreline were glowing with radiance dotted with bright specks of light, much like the stars that were just starting to light up overhead. Every movement of the illumination. "Say something," he said, I turned to him. My every step left a glowing footprint in its wake. I turned towards Enzo who was walking towards me with his hands in his pockets. "See my footprints, they''re glowing," I said giggling and jumping on the water which left my footprints on the sand, I bent down and started writing his name with mine and a heart symbol with it. "Let''s take some photos, come" I pulled him to me, He took his phone out, and we clicked selfies, I bent down and took some water in my hands and threw water above us he quickly clicked the picture, it was so beautifully captured. Water was falling over our heads but wasn''t touching us, it was so good. He took photos and videos of me writing our names, jumping on the water, running around like a kid. I ran to him wrapping my hands around his waist. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. He built a campfire near the beach and sat on the sand near to the fire; I sat on his lap in a way that I can look at him. We stayed there like that for some time, suddenly out of nowhere I wanted to tell him everything that happened to me. I don''t want to hide things from him. "Enzo..." I said looking up at him, he looked down at me. "Do you remember that day when I almost got raped by him?" I asked he nodded his head. "He was my mother''s stepbrother, my grandma Janet died when I was 11 years old, My grandfather after 3 years of her death got married to a woman called Mary Ann, she had a 25-year-old son, His name was Brian Wilson. I first saw him on their wedding day.?" ***** Flashback "After the wedding, we went to our grandpa''s house there was a private party held in our backyard. I was enjoying the party with my cousins. "You look so beautiful in this dress," Jose my cousin complimented me. "Thank you, you look good too," I said touching her cheek, then My mom called me and asked to bring the gift we brought for my grandpapas was in our room. I went inside the house and walked through the living room to reach our room was on the 1st floor; I climbed the stairs and was walking through the hallway. I heard some weird noises from a room beside my mom''s room; I opened the door saw Brian fucking my aunty, My father''s younger sister from behind, she was bent over the bed with her hands tied behind her back with blindfolds on her eyes. I was shocked to react; he saw me standing there, smirked at me, and continued what he was doing. He was watching me and slapping her ass, she was gasping and asking him to do it faster; she was moaning his name, she''s Jose and Joseph''s mother, she''s cheating on my uncle Kevin who loves her a lot. I ran out of that room to my mom''s room; I was breathing heavily. "How dare that bastard, he fucking smirked at me while fucking my auntie" I mumbled in anger. I quickly took the gift and went to my mom. After some time, I saw my auntie walking towards my mom, who was talking to one of her friends. She is disgusting; she just fucked someone who''s younger than her. I don''t know how my uncle will react to this. I turned around to search my cousin Jose; I didn''t find her anywhere. "Maybe she''s in her room," I thought to myself. I walked inside the house and climbed the stairs and took a right to her room. When I reached her room, raised my hand, and about to knock on the door, then someone pulled me back with a hand on my mouth. I was struggling to take that hand off my mouth but couldn''t. He took us to his room and locked the door. He lifted me up and threw me on his bed and climbed on me. "Leave me...let me go" I screamed, trying to push him off me, "shh..." He said putting a finger on my lips "if you make a noise I''ll do exactly what I did with your auntie sweet," he whispered in my ear, I quickly shut my mouth. I was sobbing and begging him to leave me, "please, let me go I promise I won''t say a word to anyone please leave me please," I begged him, tears streaming down my eyes. "No, I won''t. Your mine only mine your body, your soul everything is mine, you''re my pet and you will enjoy Daddy''s torture" he ripped my clothes off my body, I was trying to stop him but miserably failing. I tried to cover my body with my hands, he pulled them off and pinned them above my head. He bends down and started kissing my neck and breasts, I was feeling pathetic and awful. "I won''t fuck you now, I''ll fuck you when you''re 18 and ready to take my dick inside you, until then I will have fun with your body" he whispered in my ear, "This is our little secret, Do not tell this to anyone. If you speak a word about us with anyone, I will fuck you raw and I''ll sell you to one of my best friends who does human trafficking, Do you want me to sell you?" He asked looking at me, I shook my head with tears rolling down my cheeks, "Then you should shut your fucking mouth," he said in a very low and dangerous voice. It terrified me. He continued kissing my body and sucking my nipples. I was crying silently and begging for help in my mind. He turned me around, kissing my back he reached my butt. I looked at me "please let me go, I beg you" I begged, he chuckled and hit my butt cheeks with so much pressure that I jerked upward, I cried out. Nobody was at the house to hear my screams, everyone was enjoying the party with loud music. "Please...I beg you please don''t hit me," I begged him. He didn''t listen to me. Laughing like a maniac he continued to hit my butt, he then bends over and started to lick my butt cheek, he was pushing my butt cheeks aside to get a wider picture of my butt hole, he moved his head into my butt and was licking it with his hands pressing on my butt cheeks. I buried my head into the pillow and cried out. Only this pillow can hear my whimpers and pleads. From that day, he used to come to my house pretending to help my mother as her brother and telling her he would look after me like a brother. He appears at my house when my mom''s at work and harasses me until he''s satisfied with my body. I tried to hide from him so many times, but he would eventually find me and punishes me. I tried to tell my mom about this. Somehow he knew that, and he threatened me to kill my mother and make it look like an accident. For months he tortured me, nobody helped me, no one knows what was happening with me. There was a change in my behavior, I''m wasn''t that girl who was outgoing, Happy, enthusiastic, mother sometimes noticed my behavior and asked me, I controlled myself not to tell her anything about this. For the sake of my mother, I tolerated every single torture. One day he saw me talking to my friends in school, he forcefully brought me home. Outside the house, he acts like a gentleman but once he steps inside my room, he shows his other sides. It scared me to step inside the house; he opened the car door and pulled me out and closed it, he pulled me with him inside the house. He pulled me with him to my room. After opening the door, he pushed me inside. I turned towards him. "Please, please, I will not do that again, please," I was pleading to leave me, he gripped my hair making me inches away from his lips "I told you not to talk to them but you bitch never wants to listen, huh? You want them to touch you my little pet, you want them to kiss you, fuck you that''s the reason you go to them, wanting fucks don''t you bitch" You want them to touch you my little pet, you want them to kiss you, fuck you that''s the reason you go to them, wanting fucks don''t you bitch" I said, crying hard. He pushed me, I fell flat on the floor. He unbuckled his belt and started walking towards me with a wicked smirk. "Please, please don''t hurt me, please" He bends down and ripped my clothes off my body. I was naked in front off him. He pulled me up and turned me around, pushing me on my bed. I begged him not to hurt. I apologize for my mistake. I pleaded him for mercy, but he didn''t listen to any of my requests. As his belt touched my butt, I cried my lungs out for mercy and help. He didn''t listen, He kept on beating my butt laughing like a madman. The next day in school, my friend Victoria accidentally saw bruises on my hands and neck area. She begged me to tell her everything. I cried and said every single thing to her, she promised me she would help me no matter what, I had a hope that finally, someone will help me. The next day, the news of her death smashed my hope, she died in an accident. Mom and I went to her home, cops said it was her mistake she came in front of that car, that driver escaped from that place. They didn''t find him and closed the case. After her funeral, I went to school every day but never talked to anyone my mom was worried about me. One day after school, I came to my house and freshen up. I was sitting on my bed with my hands around my knees, crying for my friend''s death. I heard the sound of opening door Brian came inside my room with a smirk on his face. I looked up at him. "I told you not to share our little secret with anyone, didn''t I?" Chapter 31：My Confession 2 I was stunned, I couldn''t breathe, I couldn''t move, I couldn''t see anything. Her face, Her smile, Her voice, everything was Flashing in my mind. "You...you..ki...killed....her?" I asked with a shaking voice, he shrugs like it was nothing. Suddenly, his face was inches far from me, his hand gripping my hair making me look at him. "I told you not to say anything about us, but you slut said every single thing to her, what do you think I won''t know what you did behind my back [He slapped on my cheek.] you actually thought to complain about me with your little bitch to police, Now you see what happened, because of YOU!! She''s died [He shouted on my face] because of YOU!!! I had to kill her," he slapped hard on my cheek, "Because of YOU!!! I''m a murder now, you bitch," he slapped me again, "Now I can not wait until you are 18, I have to make you mine, you are becoming smarter day by day," with that he ripped my clothes, I was begging to stop, "No..please...Stop...I won''t do that again...Please.No..." I was shouting for help no one was there to rescue me, no one was there to save me from this monster. I was lying naked under this monster, struggling to get out. "Please I won''t tell anyone...Please leave me..." I was sobbing, He removed his shirt and unbuttoned his pants. "No...No...Please", I was crying out, He separated my legs and motioned himself between my legs," please..." I cried He slapped my cheek, grabbed my jaw "say daddy "he yelled on my face, "please...daddy," I said weeping, he grinned and grabbed his dick in his hand guiding it to my entrance. "No...No...No...please...Don''t," I cried, I can feel his tip touching my entrance, I was screaming for help and trying to get up but his grip on me was strong. This is it, it''s over I thought to myself. His tip is rubbing my entrance, The door of my bedroom opened and my mom stepped inside hitting his head with a lamp. He rolled over me, I hurried to my mom hugging her, he was rolling on the bed. Groaning, holding his head. Blood was coming out of his head. Mom quickly took us to her room, closing and locking the door. I quickly put clothes on my body, mom called cops, in just 10min they came and arrested him. He was said guilty for killing my friend and sexually abusing me, they put him in jail with a penalty of 20 years in jail. I said everything to mom, she cried hugging me. Apologizing ten thousand times for believing him and not knowing all about this, grandpa and Mary came to us, Mary apologized for her son''s behavior, she was guilty. I said it wasn''t her mistake that he turned out to be a psychopath. After everything, for one year I didn''t go outside, I didn''t step outside of my house. I was responsible for her death, she died, because of me. I had nightmares about him, at midnights my mother used to run to my room hearing me screaming in my sleep, for days she didn''t go to the job only because of me. My mom thought its good to leave this place and move to my grandmother''s house in Jacksonville, Florida. Grandma Gloria used to sleep with me at night every day, she has a major part in my life, she helped me overcome my guilt But I wasn''t the same girl I used to be, I joined in a school there and continue my school where I left, I had to study same class twice, I never had any friend other than Beth who is in Los Angeles, she used to call every single day, I ignored her for days because of my depression, It was printed in my head that Whoever I love gets hurt, or leaves me in the end, One day at my mom''s birthday party I meet Rory my best friend, he brought my true self outside again. I started talking to everyone and slowly started forgetting about him, but Like before I''m not so strong Rory saved me from so many bullies. I never stood up for myself, I was broken. Flashback End Enzo was wiping my tears which I didn''t notice falling down my cheeks, " I was never the same Enzo he smashed my self-confidence made me weak, I always tried to stand up for myself but I couldn''t, somewhere deep down I still feel guilty for her death. For days my mom left her job and spent time with me, sometimes I see her crying at a corner, she did everything to bring me out of depression. She took me to so many Rehab Center, still, I didn''t change" he was rubbing my back while listening to me "My mom got a job in Los Angeles, there.. my father has a house in his name so we moved in with grandma. I joined a school and was doing my 10th grade. After some days, We got to know that mom had cancer and she knows that, she was hiding it from us for days," I stopped, I couldn''t talk about her death. I can''t.....it hurts me so much. He placed his hand under my chin and raised my head, I looked into his eyes. "Tell me," he said, "After her death...I couldn''t take it anymore, the loneliness and depression...Every single day I used to cry and remember her asking god why did he do this to me. My father, Chole and now my mother, It was very difficult to live without her. Grandma took good care of me, she used to make me sleep in her room with her. She used to read bedtime stories for me like I''m a 5-year-old kid, it was hard for her too without my mom but she never showed it on her actions nor face. Beth also moved into our area, she changed to my school only for me, she was always there for me, she helped me to move on, she made sure that I talk to everyone in my class, I used to talk...only in front of her. Later Grandma had work in Florida, she used to travel a lot, I requested her to stay there, I promised her that I would take of my self she agreed and moved to Florida. From then I was living alone in my house, At first, it was hard but eventually, I got habituated to live alone. Beth''s parents used to have a look at me every weekend...I was a mess[holding his face in my hands] my life has been better since the day I meet you, you make me live in present and forget about all bad things ever happened to me [moving closer to his chest] I feel warm, safe, happy and special in your arms.[leaning my head against his heart] I just want to stay near your heart like this forever." He tightened his arms around me pulling me to his chest, I can hear his heart beating calmly. We were like that for some time, enjoying the movement, lost in thoughts. ************ "Baby" Enzo called, pulling me out my deep thoughts. I looked up at him, "let''s go...its too late" "Ok," I said standing up from his lap, he took my hand in his intertwining our fingers, I rest my head against his arms he kissed my head. We walked off that spot and reached his car, he opened the door for me. I got inside, he closed it. I turned to buckle my seatbelt and saw someone''s shadow near a tree, I was looking at it trying to see who was that, it was dark and it wasn''t visible, noticing me looking at it they moved from there, "Are you okay?" Enzo asked I turned to him "I saw someone there," I said pointing to that tree, he looked at it for a second. I noticed the change in his expression and his features, before I could ask anything, He started the engine and moved from there with high speed, I was scared. He was driving in lighting speed, I was clutching the seatbelt every tightly. I turned to him, "Enzo, what happen?Please slow down..." He didn''t listen to me, he was checking in the mirrors whether we were being followed or not, "Enzo..." I called, he didn''t listen. I was so scared, I started crying "Enzo...you''re scaring me," I shouted tears streaming down my cheeks, He turned to look at me. His eyes softened, he features softened, his grip on his steering wheel loosened. All of a Sudden something came in front of our car, I noticed it first "Enzo!!!" I screamed. Chapter 32：Mafia Leader He turned and slammed the breaks, the speed in which he was driving the car had us almost hit our heads to the board, He looked at me and asked "Are you okay," I nodded, He turned to look at that thing which came in our way and I turned my head and saw a tall man coming out of the very expensive car, "get down" said Enzo in very serious manner, He took something in the panel and put it in his pockets, I couldn''t see what was it. He opened the car door and stepped outside of the car, I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped outside the car, I walked towards his holding his. I looked up to see him glaring me, I looked away, What? I can''t leave him alone, what if this guy is dangerous to Enzo. I looked at that man in front of me. He was in a black button-up shirt, black pants and black shoes. He was handsome, tall but not taller than Enzo and had brown hair. He chuckles looking at us, "Never thought that I would see the great mafia leader alone without his bodyguards around," He said. I looked up at Enzo. He was quietly watching that man without any expression on his face. Mafia leader? I whispered. Everything I heard about him suddenly started coming back to me in my mind. I wasn''t able to understand anything. "What do you want?" asked Enzo, That man chuckled again "you know very well what I want Enzo," He said, "you will never get it," Enzo said turning back and pulling me, Oh No, "I''m will get it," he said pulling a gun out and pointing at us. I gasped looking at it. Enzo in a swift motion took his gun out of his pocket and shot him in the head. His body collapsed on the ground. I was staring at the lifeless body in utter shock. Enzo grabbed my hand pulling me with him and opened the door of the car. I was still staring at the body."get in," he yelled, I flinched and got inside the car, putting my seatbelt on. My body was numb, I couldn''t talk, I couldn''t move, I couldn''t think anything, that scene was running in my mind over and over again. He killed someone in front of me, Everything my friends said was true, I was so stupid to ignore their warnings about him, Everything was in front of me but I choose to ignore. I blindly choose him without knowing he''s a mafia leader and a killer. He hid his true self from me, made me a fool... There were so many things running in my head, I didn''t notice that we reached the mansion, he stopped the car and got out of it, he walked to me opening my car door he offered his hand but I was numb, I was staring blankly into space. He touched my shoulder, I slapped his hand off my shoulder "Do not touch me" with angry tears in my eyes, I stepped outside the car and walked inside, on my way, I saw a maid, asked her to show me a guest room. She took me to the guest room, I stepped inside and closed the door. I leaned my head back, tears streaming down my eyes, slipping against the cool wooden frame and bringing my knees to my chest, wrapping my hands around my knees I hid my head and sobbing uncontrollably, my body was shaking while I''m crying out. Everything hurts more than ever, no pain I ever felt could even come close to what it felt like a broken heart. I cried and cried, everything flashing in my mind, my father''s death, my mom''s, chole''s death, I hate violence, in my life violence, had a major part. I promised myself I would be far away from it, I would help people who suffered from the violence that was the reason I risked my life to save Nikolai. Chole was innocent and was killed because of me, I hate it, I saw her family crying and suffering her loss. The day when Brian got arrested they came to my home and consoled me, they never blamed me for her death. When someone gets killed, not only that person gets killed but also their family''s happiness dies with that person. After what felt like hours, I felt a sudden push against the door like someone had leaned against the door, I held my fingers over now warm wood, it felt like I''m touching him...Enzo. I heard a whisper "I''m sorry, I never meant to hurt you...After what felt like hours, I felt a sudden push against the door like someone had leaned against the door, I held my fingers over now warm wood, it felt like I''m touching him...I don''t want to lose you...I love you," I breathed out loudly, leaning my head and back against the door. Tears were slipping down through my eyes over to the sides as I let them go by. I cried and cried, eventually, I cried myself to sleep. ********** I woke up in the morning feeling cold, I stood up and walked inside the bathroom and did my morning routine, got dressed and opened the door. I saw Enzo there leaning towards the wall, sleeping uncomfortably. I noticed maids hesitating to wake him up, I bent down and shook his shoulder waking him up. He grabbed my hand kissing back of it, I pulled my hand out, hurt was evident in his eyes, I couldn''t see hurt in his eyes so I looked away. He stood up and straightened his clothes, he opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off "I Want to leave, Can you please take me to my home?" I asked. I can see him confused, but he didn''t say anything about it. He turned around and walked off from there, tears were rolling in my eyes, I controlled myself and walked downstairs, There Andera, Edoardo, and Antia with sad expressions on their faces. It was so hard to have breakfast with them in this deafening silence, Enzo walked into the dining hall which made us look at him. I quickly lowered my head, I don''t want to look at him. It reminds me how stupid I was, I love him but I don''t know how to deal with the truth that he''s a mafia leader and he killed someone in front of me like it was an easy thing to do. All I want is to get out of this place as soon as possible. Enzo was silently having his breakfast as if nothing happened at all after our breakfast Enzo excused himself to take a call and it was hard for me to look at them who was opposite to me I don''t want to hurt them, I just want to leave this place. I stood up from my chair and turned around to go to my room, after reaching the guest room where I was yesterday I walked to the bed and sat down on it at the edge I was looking at my toes, Thinking about Enzo, I heard a light knock on the door I looked up to see Antia smiling at me, she walked towards me and sat beside me, she put her hand on my thigh. "I know what happened yesterday night, Not only me mom and dad also know that All I want to tell you are that whatever happens don''t forget that we are here for you. You can contact us at any time Venessa, your family" tears were rolling in my eyes, I hugged her and broke into sobs. She hugged me back and rubbed my back, we moved back and she wiped my tears "Don''t cry, It doesn''t suites you" She said. She sighed, I glanced at her, "There is a reason behind everything Vennessa...Behind his behavior, there is also a reason... I''m always here to tell you about him, just call if you want to know the reason behind his behavior," she said, smiling at me she left me alone with a question running in my mind. What made him like this? Later, A maid came to my room asking me to come downstairs. I walked downstairs and noticed Andera, Edoardo, Enzo, and Antia were standing at the entrance with our luggage, bodyguards were taking our luggage to the car. I walked towards them and stood in front of Andera. She hugged me "Don''t hesitate to contact me if you need any help, please stay in touch even if you''re not with Enzo" I nodded, Edoardo squeezed my shoulder smiling at me"Take care child," he said, Antia hugged me, "Take care of yourself" she said, with sad smile on her face I nodded and turned to Enzo who was quietly watching me, He turned around and moved out of the mansion. We were quite in our entire journey to Los Angeles, No one spoke a word to each other. It made easy for me to stay away from him. It hurts...It fucking hurts not talking to him. I hate myself for doing this, but I can''t stay with him. He dropped me at my house, I asked him to send my luggage to my house. The next day they brought my luggage to my house. I resigned from my job and started working in a small cafe near my house as a waitress. ******** Six months later, I was changing my clothes in the change room in the cafe where I work, my shift completed. I left the cafe and reached my car I climbed inside and drove to my house. In Past months so much has happened, I graduated from school, I got admission in the University of California, I''m 19 now, Beth, Zach, and Aron become very close to me day by day. Remond and Seth went to London after graduation. We celebrated my birthday party at my house, it was memorable to me and that I cried my eyes out remembering him. I miss him terribly, I wasn''t myself in these 6 months I was awful, They tried to bring my happy side many times but failed miserably. I never smiled, I never tried to talk to anyone, I cried and cried and cried, Every single day, every single night. There wasn''t a day went well without thinking about him. The door was open to my house, and I walked inside to see Beth, Zach and Aron waiting for me. I signed and walked to them, "I''m not going to any party," I said looking at them, They looked at each other, and beth stood up from the couch "Why not? We''ll have fun" she said with an enthusiastic expression on her face, "I''m sorry, I have work to do please don''t force me," I said dismissing her, she signed and sat down. "You didn''t forget him did you?" asked Zach with a calculated expression on his face, Aron looked at me and I can see saddens in them. After that incident, there were days where I cried all night, I never smiled and I distanced myself from everyone. Aron was there for me the whole time, he tried his best to bring me out this state. No matter what people say or do around me the last person who has a say in this is me, I''m liable for my own mistakes, I''m accountable to my own feelings. I''m responsible for why I''m hurting right now. "Do you still love him?" Asked beth, Despite everything do I still love him? There was no answer to these questions with me. Aron stood up and hugged me, I hugged him back. He kissed my forehead and turned towards them. "I think she needs rest guys we should leave," he said, they stood up. Beth came to me and hugged me "You should listen to your heart Venessa do what it says don''t hurt yourself, it hurts us to see you like this," she said, Zach touched my cheek and smiled. They left my house, I cooked something to have dinner. After dinner, I started cleaning my kitchen. Then I heard a knock on my main door, I walked to the main door and opened it. I was numb, every part of my body stopped working looking at that person who was standing in a black suit, hair neatly combed back. Enzo...with his bodyguards. After what felt like an eternity, He spoke "Let me in" In his usual serious tone he said. I moved aside letting him in, he walked inside and sat on my couch, I walked to my couch and stood in front of him, He motioned one his man to come forward, he came and gave a file to Enzo. Enzo gave it to me, I took it and looked at him."Read it," he said pointing at the file. My eyes bulged out reading the file, The contract Marriage was written in block letters. The file said that I have to marry him and be his wife for 3 years. He offers 2.5 million with a mansion in Beverly Hills for being his wife. "What is this?" I yelled at him, he didn''t even flinch at the outburst. "Contract," he said, "I know that, I''m not doing this," I said confidently, He stood up, took a step towards me very slowly, "If you don''t sign the contract I will buy this house and your grandma''s, businesses and her house in Florida you will be the reason behind her loss and she will be homeless only because of you if you want that don''t sign" he stopping in front me with his hands in his pockets, I was shocked, tears were rolling in my eyes. How did I love someone like this, How did I love someone who''s this heartless? Tears were streaming down my eyes, No I will not show him that I''m weak, I will not show him my tears and my broken heart. I slowly walked to my table and placed the file on it and took a pen in my hand, signed it. I give it to Enzo, He took it from my hand and turned around, began to walk to my door. Before stepping out of the door, he turned back and looked at me, there was something in his eyes that I failed to understand. After he had left my house, I took a deep breath and tried to relax my nerves, Be strong v. I said to myself. I have to do something before its too late, then an idea came to mind. I rushed to get my phone from my bag and dialed the number, it rang for some time then she answered. "Hello," she said. "Hello, I want you to tell me everything about Enzo...I need to know," Chapter 33：His Past "Ok, Let''s meet then," Antia replied, "Ok," I answered. She decided the place and time, I agreed and went to bed. ******* Next day I woke up and did my morning duties, I made my breakfast and had it. I took my car keys and drove to my college, I was majoring in both English and creative writing. I had made a couple of friends here in my college Morgan, Rachel and her boyfriend Jackson and Thimothy along with Aron, Beth, and Zach. ********* "Morgan, I already said to Beth that I''m not coming," I said, irritated by that question. "Please Ness everyone is coming except you, don''t do this to us" she used her dramatic side again, I glanced her and sighed."You are not going to leave until I agree to come?" I asked shaking my head, she giggled "Nope", "Fine," I said irritated by it. She jumped and hugged me "Thank you," She said smiling, "Ok. Ok, "I said. We walked to our classes although she was majoring in law we shared the core curriculum which was a compulsion for all students. We walked inside and sat beside Aron, Beth, and Zach. Later, Rachel and Jackson with Timothy. They sat beside us, and we were chatting with each other, The professor entered the class and soon we were drowning in course work. In the middle of the lecture, Aron passed a piece of paper. Coming to the party, this Saturday? I scribbled my answer and passed the paper back to him. I heard him chuckling. I have to thank Morgan later. I turned and shot a deadly glared at him. Over past days, since we became friends Aron and I grew a strong bond and extremely close to each other. He was always there for me in those dark days; he never pressurized me to tell what happened between Enzo and me, he used to understand me. At the end of the class, we went to the cafe, Aron and Timothy brought us coffee we sat on a slightly secluded table, and I opened one book to study a little for the next class. "You look happy," Said Beth to Morgan, I looked at Morgan. "It''s Jax," she said with a smile in her face, "we are going on a date" Jax is a model and Morgan''s boyfriend, they''ve been together for a week now. "Oh..." Everyone said at once which made her blush, we laughed watching her blushing. Suddenly, Enzo came into my mind and I stopped smiling, I miss him. I miss our movements with each other. Aron noticed me and put his hand on mine squeezing it lightly, I glanced at him and smiled he smiled back. After college, I called Rose manager of the cafe where I work, said to her that I couldn''t come because of some emergency. She said okay, and I went home, I got ready to meet Antia. I reached the cafe and parked my car in the parking lot, I stepped outside and walked inside the cafe. I can see Antia on a table near the window in the middle, typing something on her phone. I walked there, she noticed me and stood up from her chair and hugged me, I hugged her back. We smiled at each other, I sat down in front of her and ordered coffee for both of us. "It''s good to see you again Venessa, How are you?" "I''m good how are you and Andrea and Edoardo?" "We are good, Hows your college-going on," "It''s going well" "Hm... So, What do you want to know about my brother?" "I just want to know why he is like this, you said there was a reason behind his behavior. I want to know it, please tell me." She nodded and took an album from her handbag, and she placed it on the table, She pushed towards me. "Open it." Hesitatingly I opened it, There was a photo of young Andera and Edoardo with 4kids, one was a boy with jet black hair and blue eyes, wearing a red t-shirt and a pair of shorts, with a girl beside him who has a cute smile on her face wearing peach color dress reaching her knees, beside her was cute little Enzo with innocent big green eyes and a big smile on his face, in a green T-shirt and a pair of brown shorts, he was so adorable, beside him was small cute Antia smiling. I flipped the page and there were photos of Enzo with that boy and girl, he was so happy, there were photos of him and that boy in their younger versions, they both looked alike. I flipped another one and gasped when I see the women with whom Enzo was smiling wholeheartedly, she looked like me, not exact copy her features matches mine. She has brown hair, and mine was Black. I look up to see Antia watching my reactions very carefully, "She''s my elder sister Milena and he''s my elder brother Damien." "She looks like me," I whispered, touching her picture, There was a sad smile on Antia''s face, "What happen?" I asked, "They died," she said sadly. It hurts me to look at her like this. I reached her hand and squeezed it, "Can you tell me what happened to them" I asked looking at her, she slowly nodded. "My sister Milina is kind like you, she is outgoing and a very strong woman. She was close to Enzo more than me, he loved her so much like she is his second mother, my brother Damien was very protective towards us, he loved and protected us, my father was a businessman and a mafia leader, he wanted Damien to take his position after him, but Damien wasn''t interested in that but Enzo was interested in these things, then father trained him. Enzo was a good man he never killed a soul or hurt anyone. After he had taken his father''s place in business, he became very powerful and famous, people started feeling jealous of him, his enemies used planned against him all the time and always gets defeated by Enzo. Enzo was very kind towards his staff and employees, and my father often gets worried about Enzo''s kindness towards workers and business partners. He many times tried to explain to Enzo that showing kindness to employees would lead them to take advantage of him someday but my brother never listened to my father. One day we brothers and sisters came to Italy for vacation, because of the weather we landed on Italy but not on our Island, we were in our car traveling to our home and suddenly something hit us, our bodyguards helped us and guarded us against one of the Enzo''s mafia enemies who couldn''t take his success and planned to kill us all, our men were protecting us against those men who were shooting at us, I was younger among us. My brother Damien gave me to one of our trusted men and made him hide me in a store behind a house. Our bodyguards were protecting my siblings, those men killed our bodyguards and kidnapped Damien and Milina along with Enzo, they took them to an old underground basement near our Island. They tied Enzo to a wall and beat Damien until he breathed his last breath and They raped Milena, every one of those men raped her in front of Enzo and brutally killed her in front of him. When father went there, Damien and Milena''s bodies were lying on the ground and Enzo was beaten up very badly, he was fully covered in blood, we thought we will lose him too. But he was strong, he survived.[A lone tear slipped from my eyes, listening to his past] He searched for those bastards and learned that one of his business partners took advantage of his kindness and helped my brother''s enemies in their plan so that he could ruin the business and get his money. Enzo killed him and those bastards one by one mercilessly, from then he changed into the way he is now, ruthless, merciless and cold. The good in him is gone, it is replaced by anger and hatred...[wiping her tears, she looked at me and took my hand in hers.] I think you can change him Venessa, not only me my mom and dad also think the same. That night when we saw Enzo on the floor outside of your room, we were shocked. We never saw Enzo like that, we can see how much you effect on him, he never brought anyone to us. He never displayed his affection to anyone; you can change him, you have to change him for all of us Venessa" she said squeezing my hand. I didn''t say anything, I just smiled at her. I can''t imagine how Enzo could have felt when they killed his brother and sister in front of him, I can slowly understand why he turned into a cold and ruthless person. "Mom dad wants you to meet them, My mom misses you, She sees my sister in you, could you please meet her in your free time." She asked, pleading me with her eyes. I say okay, and we chatted for some time and left the cafe. I drove to my house, I parked my car in the garage and walked to my main door. I opened it and stepped inside closing it behind, I put my handbag on the couch and walked to my bedroom, I changed my clothes and tied my hair into a messy bun. I went to my kitchen started preparing my dinner, while I''m cooking I heard a knock on the door. I walked there and opened the door, there stood Enzo in a navy blue suit with his bodyguards behind him. He was looking at me in his usual serious expression, I moved aside letting him in. He walked inside and sat down on the sofa, one of his bodyguards came forward giving a file to Enzo. He took it from the bodyguard and gave it to me, I opened it. It was written that next week is our marriage. I looked at him with anger evident in my eyes, "Next week, really Enzo...I have college, and I have to submit my assignments next week, I have exams after that" I tried to remember my other excuses too But nothing came in my mind," Why can''t we get married next...year, "I said, he has the same expression. "You are coming with me now pack your things," he said in a serious tone, "What.No, I''m not coming with you anywhere, you can leave," I said folding my hands with a serious expression. He stood up and slowly took a step forward, "Do not test my patience, You know very well what happens when someone disobeys me," I gulped, I know it very well still, I said, "I will not go anywhere with you." In a swift motion, he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. I screamed and began to beat his back. "Enzo you idiot leave me...help somebody...He is kidnapping me...Enzo..." I was screaming and hitting his back, he opened the car door and threw me inside. I bounced on the seat, he stepped inside and sat beside me. I was hitting him on his shoulder shouting in his ear to let me go, he grabbed my hand and turned them behind my back, pulling me towards him, I raised my head, "leave my hand Enzo..." He didn''t respond, he was staring at me, "Enzo...I swear I''ll bite you if you don''t leave my hand," He wasn''t responding at all, that''s it. I turned and bit his neck, he hissed and quickly released my hand."What the hell..." He said, touching his neck. I shrugged, "I told you, that I would bite you if you don''t leave me," He glared at me, I turned my head and stared at the building passing by, promising that, I will try my best to change you Enzo... I will do every single thing to change you I promise. Chapter 34：The Engagement Party We reached his mansion; the car stopped and Enzo grabbed my hand, pulling me with him. I tried to pull my hand from his grip earning a glare from him. I just followed him behind letting him pull me. While he''s dragging me through the living room, I noticed Judy standing in the living room smiling at me, I smiled back. He opened the bedroom door and dragged me inside. "Stay," he said in a dangerous law voice. I gulped and nodded. He still had that effect on me, god!! He walked out, leaving me alone in this room. Everything rushed to me. Our memories in this room, our kisses and all. I sat down on the edge of my bed and cried my eyes out. I heard a knock on the door. I wiped my tears and looked up to see Judy with a sad smile on her face. She walked to me and wrapped her arms around me, kissing my head. "I''m happy to have you back dear," she said, she looked down at me. I smiled at her, looking at my face for a second her smile dropped and a frown made its way to her face. "What happened, dear?" With a worried expression, she asked. "Nothing, nothing happened," I said, trying to smile, holding my face in her hands she made me look up at her, "Tell me, dear," she asked, with that, I burst into tears. "I don''t want this, I don''t want to marry him. I love him, I love him so much that it hurts, but the things he does scares me, I tried to forget about it but every time I look at him That scene flashed in front of me reminding me that he''s a killer he kills people without any second thought how could I spent my life with a person like this...I want to help him I want to try my best to change him but how...How should I change him into a good person" I cried, hugging her. "Be strong, Venessa You have to be strong to change him. There is no way other than to marry him, I know Lorenzo he will do anything to get what he wants, you have to do things in his way, dear, let him do things just be patience Don''t lose hope dear" She said wiping my tears, I stopped crying," You''re right I have to do things in his way" I said and stood up from the bed, she took me to the dining hall and served me dinner, I had my dinner, and went to my room. Lying on the bed I was staring at the ceiling, thinking about the wedding. I do not understand how to stop the wedding and I want to do something, anything to stop this wedding. I don''t want to marry at this age. Come on I''m just 19 I have ambitions which I have to fulfill. I heard my doorknob opening, I quickly closed my eyes. I can hear someone walking to my bed, I tried to calm my breath. I can feel them sitting on the edge of my bed, I felt their hand stroking my hair. I quickly recognized his smell and his touch which leave Sparks on my skin, I heard him say "I miss you...Why did you leave me...It''s a bad decision...I thought you will just be angry for a day or two, I thought you will come back to me but you didn''t... Now...I will make you pay for it...I will make you pay for the pain you left me in...I will make you pay for leaving me alone...I will make you pay for everything I suffered being without you for 6months...I promise, I will'''' he said kissing my forehead, I was scared, I want to run away from him but I couldn''t. I heard him closing the door, I opened my eyes, his words were running in my head he will make me pay for everything? I was shivering with fear. What am I gonna do? ************ Next day I woke up because of constant knocking on my door, I groaned and got up from the bed, walking towards the door I opened it. There stood Judy with 3 other women, I was confused, I moved aside letting them in. "You should get ready dear, they will help you," Judy said, "Ready?? For what?" I asked, "Tonight is your Engagement," Said Judy, "What!!!!" I exclaimed, "Tonight.." She was repeating but I cut her off. "I know I heard you But you decided that tonight is our engagement," I asked, I was very angry. "Lorenzo," she said, "This man" I muttered, "Please leave, I need to fresh up," I said, Judy, nodded and left my room with them. I walked into my bathroom and did my morning routine, I did my hair and makeup and dressed up. I walked outside into the living room, There I saw Enzo sitting on the sofa and talking to one woman and 3 men who were standing with her, they were listening to him very carefully, He saw me walking to the dining room and called me, I turned to him. "Come here," he said, I gulped and walked to him, everything he said last night was running in my mind. I was very scared, "yes," I said, Tuning to them he said "you can do your work now," they nodded and left us. He turned to me with a very serious expression on his face, "I heard, you a have problem with the engagement" he asked, "I..I h..have..problem...Its...to..to..soon" I shuttered, He grabbed my jaw and pulled me until his face was a mere inch from mine, "Our engagement will happen today, whether you like it or not," he said and pushing me back, I stumbled back, tears were rolling in my eyes, I controlled myself and turned around, began to walk back to the dining table, "Venessa," he called, I turned around to face him, "Do not try to act smart you know very well what I''ll do If you do so," I nodded and walked back to the dining table. Is this Enzo who was in love with, he turned into a completely different person who I don''t recognize. Swallowing my sorrow I had my breakfast after my breakfast, those 3 women with Judy came to me, I sighed, getting up from my bed. We walked outside of the mansion and Paul was waiting for us outside. I smiled at him and hugged him, "How are you paul?" I asked, He smiled "I''m good, How are you Vannesa?" "I''m good" I replied, We climbed inside the car and drove out of the mansion, we reached a shopping mall and stepped out of the car. We walked inside. ******** It took 4 hours to complete our shopping, I was exhausted. I walked outside of the 9th mall we walked into, Judy with them was at the cash counter. Paul opened the door, I climbed inside and drank a bottle of water. I relaxed a bit, "Paul" I called, he turned to me. "Yes," he said, "How was he...in the past 6 months," I asked a bit hesitant, He signed "He wasn''t himself, he turned into a completely different person. He was very aggressive and was drank all night, He was broken. He never smiled the way he used to with you, He never came out of his office. He buried himself in alcohol, sometimes I find him passed out on the couch and on the ground. His behavior changed towards everyone He was angry, snappy and screamed at everyone including his parents" He sighed again, "I know him, he will have his revenge from you Vannesa, you should be strong to handle him don''t let him break you, dear," He said, I swallowed, there were so many things running in my head. Why the hell everyone is scaring the hell out of me, I took a deep breath, you are strong Venessa don''t let him down your self-confidence and dignity. You can handle him. Judy with them stepped inside the car, we drove back to the mansion. After reaching the mansion, Paul brought the shopping bags inside. Inside, the living room was full of people hurrying. They were busy doing their work that they didn''t notice any of us working inside. They were walking past us decorating the living room, I walked directly into my room and noticed people cleaning my room, I was getting irritated by this. I turned around and stepped outside the room, I walked straight out of the mansion, I walked into the garden and sat down on a stone bench, I sighed and raised my head up. "God!" My mind automatically reminded me of him, His face, His smile and his arrogant smirk. I miss him, his touch on my skin, his breath on my neck, his deep voice which gives me goosebumps, his hugs, everything. I never thought I would fall madly in love with a man like him. The things Paul said made me regret my decision of leaving him, I was wrong I should have given him a chance to talk, This is all my fault. Because of me, he turned into a completely different person. I have to change him, but not like this I can''t marry him. This is not the only option. There has to be another way to change him. I understood why he wants to marry me. I heard him say that last night, he wanted me to suffer just like he suffered the last 6months, I suffered too. It wasn''t easy for me to live without him. I love him, I wanted to run back to him but I know I can''t do that, I thought he''ll come back, he''ll explain things to me, he''ll promise me he would never do that again, but it never happened, he never came. I waited and waited for him. One day he came back with what? A contract to marry him, This is ridiculous. Judy came to me breaking my chain of thoughts, "Vennessa What are you doing here?" She said I looked up at her, " You Should go inside and get ready before Enzo sees you here" I sighed and got up from the bench, "What time is it?" I asked her, "It''s past 7," she said, I gasped, "Go fast you don''t have time to get ready, Engagement party starts at 8" She took inside of the mansion and inside my room, my room. She pushed me inside the shower, after my shower, she made me sit on the chair called someone. 4 women one entered inside with a dress, they put it on my bed and walked over me, They started working on my makeup and hair, then after that they made me stand up, one of them with black hair took the dress and opened it, they helped me in wearing it. The dress was a burgundy red lace elegant mermaid long floor-length formal dress. Off-the-shoulder neckline with long sleeves, Court train. It perfectly fitted my curves, I moved to the mirror to have a look at myself. I gasped. I was looking at my reflection with my mouth hung open, I looked back at them. "Thank you," I said, Judy stepped forward and kissed my forehead, "you look beautiful dear" she said, "Thank you" I said smiling at her. Elie, one of the women who helped me in getting ready, brought my soft dove 5 inches sandals. I wore them. Judy took my hand and led downstairs when I reached the stairs everyone heads snapped to me. Hall was filled with numerous people I know saw in my life. I was feeling nervous my hold Judy''s hand tightened. It was completely silent the only sound was made by my scandals. I lowered my head and stepped down very carefully, after reaching the last one Judy stopped and looked up to see Enzo looking so hot in his black tux, extending his hand I took it and I stepped down. Antia stepped forward in her looking elegant in her red strapless dress, she turned around facing the people." Hello Everybody, My name is Antia Francisco younger sister of Lorenzo Francisco and a close friend of Venessa Foster, I welcome you all here tonight to celebrate the engagement of my brother Lorenzo Francisco and Venessa Foster, Thank you for coming to share this milestone event. It means so much to all of us that you''re here at the occasion marking the beginning of their life long commitment, Let the ceremony begun" She turned towards her brother, Enzo took a violet box and opened it, inside was a beautiful diamond ring. He took it and took my hand. I wanted to take my hand back but he held it firmly. He placed the ring in my finger, Judy gave me a red box, I opened it and placed the ring in his finger with shaking hands and then everybody started clapping. He turned and placed his hand around my waist, pulling me towards him. He moved closer to my ears and whispered "smile". I plastered a fake smile on my face. The flashes were hitting me pretty badly. Standing so close to him gave me nostalgia yet my heart was racing with anxiety and fear. Later, Everyone was enjoying the party. Antia walked over us and gave an engagement toast saying "Me and my brother shared a strong bond by birth, I grew up learning different things from him, I love my brother more than anything. I am so happy today to be able to congratulate my brother Enzo and his beautiful fiancee Venessa, I have always believed that there is someone out there for everyone and today my brother found his and now, ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you to rise and join me in wishing the charming couple health and happiness" she said and kissing me on my cheek and hugging her brother. Everyone raised their glasses and toasts with Antia, I see Edoardo walking to us, smiling at us. He stopped by us and turned toward them," Hello everyone, I''m Edoardo Francisco Thank you all for coming to celebrate my Son''s engagement.[he turned to Enzo, Smiled] My Son as you''ve grown and matured, you have brought more joy and happiness to our lives than we ever believed possible. Now that you are entering this new phase of life, we wish you the same pleasure that you have given to us, and a lifetime filled with blessings and happiness. Having you as a son has been one of life''s greatest gifts. Today, we begin to share our blessings with Andera. May the two of you know happiness beyond your wildest dreams. Please raise your glasses with me in a toast (pause) to Enzo and Venessa" Then, Andera came forward and hugged him and me, she kissed my forehead and turned "When children find true love, parents find true joy. Here''s to your joy and ours from this day forward. I''m so happy that you found a girl like Venessa Son, May your joys be as bright as the morning and your sorrows but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love. please join me raise your glasses with me in a toast to my son and Venessa" she said, tears were rolling down my cheeks. I could not express what I''m feeling right now. Enzo turned to me holding my hands, my heart was beating rapidly in my rib cage, My legs were trembling, "There''s something very special that happens to a man when he realizes that he''s met the woman that he''s going to spend the rest of his life with. I think it''s called fulfillment. When that moment comes, the words can''t come out fast enough. Thank you, baby, for agreeing to be my wife and seeing the goodness in me. I''d like to thank my future parents-in-law for bringing into the world, the woman that I love. (toasts) Please raise your glasses with me in a toast for my Venessa" he said, " I''m so happy that you both are back and marrying each other Venessa, I thought you would never forgive him, Thank you so much for giving a chance dear," she said holding my hands in her, I wanted to yell that I don''t want to marry him, I wanted to tell her that he was forcing me to marry him. But I didn''t, I know the consequences of doing that, I just smiled at her. Music began playing and every couple was dancing on the dancefloor, I was standing beside Enzo. He was talking to someone I don''t know, I was looking at a couple. They were so good with each other, they were smiling and dancing. I can see the love in their eyes for each other. Suddenly Enzo put his hand on my waist and led me to the dance floor. He placed him firmly around my waist pulling me closer to him. I tried to put some space between us but he pulled me even closer, my chest was touching him, I looked up in his eyes, he was staring at me. We were dancing slowly, lost in each other''s eyes, he bends down to my ear "Don''t be so happy, There is a surprise for you in our bedroom...little Wifey" He whispered in my ear slightly biting it, My heart was beating rapidly, my legs were shaking. Everything he said last night rushed back to me, I looked up to see him smirking at me. Chapter 35：Threatened by my little woman "W.. what sur... Surprise?" I shuttered, my hand was shaking in his hand, His hold tightened and the look on his face was mocking me. "Oh... No.. don''t be scared, you''ll love it," he said, smirking at me in a low voice. I was scared, these days he isn''t himself, and it''s scaring me. I licked my lips looking away from him. I was scared. I don''t want to find out what''s in that room, I just want to leave this place. I don''t want this, I want to have my space. His hold on my waist tightened, I hissed and looked up at him. He was angry. His eyebrows hitched in anger. "Don''t. Do. That" He said pressing every word in a very intimidating attitude, I lowered my head. We danced in silence, he raised my hand and slowly spun me around, my back against his chest, his arms around me, my breath hitched feeling his erection against my back, I feel his breath against my neck. "Do you feel that?" He whispered in a husky voice, "This is what you do by doing that" he whispered, I gulped hard, I was controlling myself very badly. His manhood was poking my back. I took a deep breath and moved back, pressing my back to his manhood. I''ve decided to show him I have an upper hand in this. I wanted to see how he can control himself. I want to test him. I want to see whether he wants to punish me for doing this. I moved slowly, rubbing my back against his manhood. I can feel him taking a sharp intake, the song was playing slowly. His arms around me tightened, pressing my back against his manhood. This was turning me on, I was controlling myself not to rip his clothes off his body and put his dick deep inside my dripping wet sex, I feel his breath near my ear, "What happen?... Thought you don''t want this" He whispered sarcastically, I quickly came to my senses and turned my head back to look at him, He was smirking at me. Fuck...Venessa can''t you just control your fucking hormones, what the fuck is wrong with you. I turned around with a smirk on my face. "Trust me, I don''t," I said in a confident tone. I moved closer to him, my chest touching his. His manhood was touching my belly, I can see his eyes turning in a dark shade of green, It''s turning him on. I moved my body in a way that every part of my body is touching his, I know exactly how to turn him on. He stopped dancing and took my hand in his pulling me with him, I looked around and noticed that many of the guests have left only a few people left on the dance floor. We climbed the stairs, He pulled to his room and opened the door. I led me in first, it was dark, I heard the door closing and the room was completely dark. I was panicking, I stepped back "Enzo..?" I called, He turned on the lights and I turned to him, he motioned me to look at something so, I turned to his bed there was an envelope placed on the bed, I was panicking again. I looked at Enzo, "Open it" He said in a serious tone, I gulped and walked towards the bed and took the envelope in my hands, I looked back at him opening the Envelope with shaking hands. Inside, the envelope there were photos. I pulled them out and turned them, I gasped when I saw my grandmother''s photos. They were candid photos of her talking to someone on the phone, playing with her cat and doing some work. My heart beating furiously with anxiety, I turned to Enzo, he was casually leaning his back on the door, I was looking at him with fear evident in my eyes. "Do you see that?" He said, calmly. I nodded, "I have my men watching her, If you do any small mistake you will find her on the streets like a beggar, If I find you reveling about our marriage to anyone get ready to face the consequences" I felt my heart drop at his words, "W...what?...what did you just say?" I asked I was shocked at his threat, he sounded like Brian to me. All that abuse and harassment rushed back to me. How...how can he do this to me when he knows this had already happened to me before, How can someone do this to their loved one? Did he not love me?. "You heard me, one mistake and you will find her on streets begging for food," He said holding his hands. Tears were rolling in my eyes, I controlled myself not to cry in front of him. I will not show my tears to him, I''m not that old Vennessa who couldn''t fight for herself, who couldn''t stand up for herself. I''m not weak, I''m strong enough to fight for what I love. I love you Enzo but I will not stand aside and watch you destroy people I love. I couldn''t save someone I loved the most back then, Now I won''t stay back to save the people I love from you Enzo. I will fight back, I will. "Why...Why do you want this?" I asked him in a straight and cold tone, he looked at me for a second and walked towards me. "What made you think that I will answer your questions, If you want your grandmother to stay happy without any problem Then you will have to do every single thing I tell you to do," "Touch her and I swear on my dead parents I''ll rip your parts one by one and feed them to the stray dogs," I said in a dangerous tone stepping towards him. I took the ring out of my finger, I grabbed his hand and placed it in his hand, I strolled out of his room. I don''t know what got into me to warn him like that, I guess I had enough of men trying to control me. I had enough of this, I will change him in my own way. I have decided. As soon as I entered my room, I broke down into tears, crying out loud. I want his love not this, I miss the Enzo who loved me, cherished me, I want him to come back to me. I can''t see him doing this, I will get it him back, I will get my Enzo back by hook or by crook. ******** I woke up feeling my head pondering. With all the thoughts rushing inside my head, I stood up and walked inside my bathroom. Did my morning duties and rushed downstairs for breakfast, Judy saw me "slow down Nessie" "I''m late, I''ll going to miss my class, Judy" She quickly served breakfast and had it quickly. Paul dropped me at my college and I rushed inside, I quickly reached my class and took my seat at my usual place. Professor has come and began the class. **** Later, I was sitting with my friends at our usual spot in the cafeteria, having our lunch. Beth was talking to Zach about her new project and he was listening to her very carefully. I was checking my schedule for the next class, Aron and Megan and others were having a conversation about some new article they''ve read about. "No, It was real I thought it''s fake but It isn''t," Morgan said, explaining to them that she saw an article about the aliens. "Morgan, It''s fake there''s nothing in Area 51, It''s just a military base," Timothy said, "But the saucer, How can it be fake," she asked him, "wait, let me show you," she said, pulling her phone out and typing something, I smiled at them shaking my head. All of a sudden she screamed my name, I flinched on my chair. Everyone in the cafeteria was looking at us now, I turned to Morgan and she was gaping at her phone screen, "Morgan?" Aron called her out, but she didn''t respond. "Morgan!" Rachel called her, shaking her shoulder. She looked at me, "Bitch why did you hide your engagement from us?" She said, "What!" Everyone at our table said at once, standing up from the chair. I looked up at them, I sighed and lowered my head, "Guys, I can explain" I said, they sat down, quietly waiting for my explanation, I sighed. Now I have to create a story to hide the truth that this is a Contract Marriage and I''m forced to marry him. I took a deep breath and prepared myself, I looked at them and noticed their curious stares. "Ok...We got back and he proposed to me and I accepted" I said in a breath, They looked at each other. "Nessie do we look like fools to you?" Beth said I shook my head. "Guys, I''m not lying. We met in the mall, he apologized and I accepted his apology. He proposed to me later and I accepted" I said, I looked at them. The look on their faces screaming that We- are-not-taking-this-bullshit. "Are you happy?" Asked Zach, All of a sudden every single thing that happened in the past few days rushed back to me. Am I happy? I asked myself. "I''m happy," I said to Zach with a fake smile, "Vennessa are you sure? DO you really wanna marry him," Timothy asked, I wanted to scream, No I don''t want to, but I couldn''t so I just smiled. "I can''t see my future without him," I said lowering my head, I heard Morgan gasping "You''re so in love," she said, "I''m happy for you," said Jack, "Finally, we can go for a double date," Rachel said, Double date and Enzo, doesn''t fit in one sentence, he will never do that. Imagine him with us, it will be a disaster. He''s a bossy and very intimidating person. By just looking at him, people get frightened. All this while, Aron was quiet and He didn''t even look at me, which was strange. I feel bad for lying to them about us, I don''t have an option. I can''t tell them the truth and put them in danger, Enzo can hurt them. I have to save them from him, I can''t have him blackmail me using my friends. I have to be careful. ********* I was walking to my paul who was waiting for me in the parking lot, Beth came to me and grabbed my hand and pulled me with her to an empty classroom, "What the hell is wrong with you Nessa" she yelled at me, "What?" "Don''t try and act smart with me, you can lie to everyone but not to me. So, stop lying to me and Tell the truth" "I''m not lying to you, I''m happy to marry him. He loves me, I love him there is nothing to lie about beth" I said, looking at her. It''s hard to lie to her, she will not believe so easily. "V, please don''t lie to me, you can tell me whatever it is, I''m here okay, If you''re happy with him then I won''t interfere, but if I know that he has hurt you then I swear I will cut his balls off and make a tasty, tasty dish and make him eat it completely," she said, I gasped and slapped her shoulder, she giggled. "I swear I will do it, I''m not bluffing" I hugged her, I''m lucky to have a friend like her. I can''t imagine her leaving me, I''m so sorry beth for hiding this from you, I''m sorry. We walked outside the room and I saw Aron walking outside, I called him. He heard me and stopped. "I''ll talk to you later," I said to beth, "okay, see you later," she said. I walked to Aron, he turned to me. "Why are you ignoring me?" I asked him, "I''m not ignoring you, Nessie," he said, "Oh..really Aron, you weren''t ignoring me? Don''t lie to me" I said angrily, He sighed, "I don''t want you to get hurt," "Why will I get hurt," I asked confused with his words, "Because you don''t know who Lorenzo is....you don''t know what he is capable of. You don''t know what he did behind....." He was cut off by someone from behind calling my name, we turned and saw Paul walking to us. "Vennessa, we need to go," Paul said, I nodded and I noticed Paul looking at Aron for a second, both looking at each other like they are communicating through their eyes, paul broke the eye contact and walked ahead, I turned to Aron. "I don''t why you feel that I will get hurt by being with Enzo, but truth me, Aron, I''m happy with him please don''t worry about me. See you later" I said to him, he touched my cheek, "Take care of yourself V," he said, "I will" ******* "Where are we going, Paul?" I asked, "Mr. Francisco asked me to bring you to him" My heart started beating furiously against my rib cage, what does he want from me now?. Paul stopped the car and opened the door for me, I stepped out. The area was deserted but a pathway leads into the woods. He took me to a cabin which was located in the center of the woods, he went inside and opened it, held it so that I could walk inside. This was scary, I was Chatting god''s name and following Paul. What if Enzo is calling me to torture me? I gulped at my thoughts. Paul stopped at the huge metal door, there was a panel at its right, he pressed something and the gate opened. It was guarded by so many bodyguards at the door standing opposite to each other, I followed Paul inside a cabin. There he was sitting on a chair, looking at me calmly. I walked to him, Paul left us alone in this cabin. He stood up and turned to the glass. He pressed a button and light shunned from the mirror. The other side of the glass was visible, two bodyguards stood straight wearing black suits. As they stepped aside another man sat on the chair, his head down and his hands and legs tied with leather belts to a leaning barber chair. I stepped ahead to the glass to have a clear picture of the person. And when I see who he was I gasped. Chapter 36：The Wedding I looked at Enzo and turned back to look at the person on that chair. I was confused about why they had Kim, my co-worker. When I worked back at F''s restaurant, he was one of my good friends and a very protective one, "wh... why?.... How?" I stammered not knowing what to ask. "Well...I found out that he was stalking you for a long time. He has your photos all over his apartment. He was fantasizing you as his girlfriend and that you had sex... numerous times and you didn''t even notice that you were being stalked by a guy who had worked with you, How ignorant!....[He moved to me, turned me around so that I could face the mirror and watch Kim, He wrapped his arms around my neck From behind and whispered in my ear]...and Now you''re going to watch him as a representation for what happens with your friends and Grandma if you don''t listen to me" He said and Pressed a button down on the panel, Then a bulb in the room where Kim was tied up, turned green as a signal to the men in the room, they took the cue and placed electrical handcuff and a metal ring on Kim''s head, his mouth was Duck tapped as he was screaming with wide eyes. One of them walked to that machine and pressed a button, then the machine-generated an electrical wave and hit Kim''s head. For a moment everything we did together, our chats, our laughs, our movements when he helped me numerous times flashed right in front of my eyes, "Stop!!.... Stop..No..Don''t...please" I screamed, "please...Enzo...Stop...He''ll DIE!!...Enzo...please" I begged, He wasn''t saying anything. He was just watching Kim. "What the Fuck is wrong with you...let him go. He''ll die...Enzo!" I was screaming and begging Enzo to leave him. He didn''t listen or move an inch. I was moving his arms around my neck. He continued to give shocks to Kim. I took a deep breath, I know what he wanted to listen So, I shut my eyes, gulping down the lump of tears in my throat. "I''ll do whatever you want me to do, please...please let him go...Enzo" I said tears rolling down my cheeks. Enzo pressed a button and the light turned red. The men inside stopped giving shocks to him. Enzo turned me around roughly," You are mine, Mine to touch, Mine to hold. All mine Do you get that," he said, gripping my chin with pressure, Making me look into his eyes. "Please... You''re hurting me, " I said, trying to free myself from his iron-like grip. "Say it "he shouted on my face, gripping my chin more tightly. "Yes...yes...I''m yours," I said, sobbing and struggling to be freed from his grip. He pushed me back. I stumbled back. He walked out of the room, I wiped my tears and followed him quietly. He walked ahead and sat in the car, I sat in the passenger seat. Enzo started to drive the car. I shifted my gaze up to meet his face and his expressions rested peacefully without any protest Or any furrow in his eyebrows or his face. I turned and gazed outside of the window, silent tears were flowing through my eyes. I quickly wiped it, without him noticing them. After a short while, we reached the mansion and He parked the car. I opened my door to step out of the car, but Enzo grabbed my arm tightly and squeezed it. I whimpered with pain, struggling hard but my strength was nothing compared to his. "Listen to me very carefully... I should never ever find this finger without the engagement ring...you have seen what happens if you don''t listen to me...Get that into your thick skull" He said and let go of my arm, I wiped my tears and said," I get it, you don''t love me, but I never thought that you''re a monster who will not stop at any cost from getting what you want," Even though I was scared to death by his actions and words, I still managed to speak against him. I got out of the car and walked towards my room, I ignored Judy''s worried expressions. I feel Enzo coming inside and I moved faster. I stepped inside my room and closed the door. I took a shower and dressed up to go to work. I noticed the ring on the table, I walked to the table, took that ring in my hands, I put that Fucking ring on my finger, and walked out of the room. Days went on... Enzo was controlling me, I couldn''t do anything other than to do things he wanted me to do. In college, Everything was good except, I didn''t see Aron after that day when he tried to tell me something. I called him multiple times but he never responded, I thought maybe he was busy. I was missing him terribly, I even called his house number, they said he left for New York, he''s parents live there. One day, Enzo strolled into my room and gave me a phone."Call your grandma and tell her about our marriage" he said, I nodded and dialed her number. After a few rings, she answered, " Hello" "Hello, grandma It''s me Nessie" "Nessie, How are you dear?. Why is your phone off" "I''m fine grandma, My phone wasn''t working. How are you? How is your health?" "I''m good don''t worry about me, dear" "Grandma... I want to tell you something" I said nervously, "What is it, dear Are you okay, Is everything okay?" She asked with concern, "I..I..I''m engaged," I said, looking at Enzo, "W..what?" "I''m engaged, Grandma" "How..w..when..who?" Enzo snatched the phone from my hand putting it on speaker and gesturing me to speak, "I''m engaged to...to...Lorenzo Francisco, He is a businessman" "Lorenzo?... Isn''t he the guy who you told me about, The one who was the reason you went into depression and weren''t yourself for past 6 months" "Um...y...yes he is the one," I said Embarrassed that He heard it, "You guys got back together?" "Yes...our marriage is on Monday, grandma" "Dear, don''t you think it''s too early for marriage. You''re just 19" "I want to meet him first," "Okay...When are you coming then" "Tomorrow" "T..to..tomorrow!" "Yeah, Is there any problem?" "No..No grandma... Okay then see you grandma take care of yourself" "I will, dear, you take care of yourself too" "I will, bye grandma I love you" "I love you too dear" I pressed the End button, I shut my eyes preventing the tears from flowing down, I turned and gave the phone to Enzo. He glanced at me for a second and left me alone. The next day, my grandmother came here. Enzo used his skills and gained her trust, she agreed to the wedding. I couldn''t do anything but wait for someone to stop the wedding, but no one did. I was defeated by Enzo, I never in a million years thought that Enzo would do this to me. I guess this is my fate. **** Monday, Night. I''m going to get married to Lorenzo Francisco in just a few minutes. The man who stole my heart and crushed it with his bare hands. The man who I trusted blindly and The man who I cherished. In just a few minutes, I would officially be Mrs. Lorenzo Francisco. Any bride on her wedding day was supposed to be happy but as per me, I wasn''t feeling anything; I was shattered. They dressed me as a perfect bride, The dress was so beautiful and it fitted my curves perfectly. Professionals did my hair and makeup. Our wedding was not a big one, we invited only our families and friends to the wedding. I was sitting alone in my room in his parent''s mansion on his Island, where we would get married. It was decorated beautifully. We traveled to the island the next day when grandma came to me, everything was done perfectly. I heard someone opening the door; I turned to see Antia walking dressed beautifully; she was looking gorgeous. She is my bridesmaid. Antia, Beth, Morgan, and Rachel were my bridesmaids. Seth was Enzo''s groomsmen. Unlike me, Antia''s face radiates happiness. "You look amazing, Venessa," she said, "Did you see Enzo, Ven he is looking so hot oh my God!" Said Morgan walking inside my room, she immediately shut her mouth seeing Antia with me. Antia chuckled and said, "I''ll see you outside Nessie," she said walking outside, I glared at Morgan. "What! he was so hot and sexy, How should I stop myself from telling you that, you know me" she said, hugging me, "you are looking like an angel in this dress ness, I''m jealous of you" I slapped her shoulder, and we both laughed. It was my first laugh these days. It eased the tension in me lightly, Beth walked inside along with Rachel both looking stunning. "Oh my god, Ven you look stunning," said Rachel, "Thank you," "I''m so happy for you V," said Beth hugging me, I smiled at her. My grandmother came to me and we walked out. She walked me down the aisle, she looked happy and I just pretended to be happy. Everyone was happy and looking beautiful in their dresses. When I look at Enzo, my breath hitched. He was looking so hot in his tux, He took my hand and I climbed the stairs and stood in front of him, I was nervously staring at his beautiful face like I never saw him before. I tried to steady my nerves by reminding myself that he forced me to do things and all the bad things he did to me. I stared at Enzo, who has spoken his vows without any nervousness, He stared straight at me with a smile on his face, that fucking smile. I craved it, It made me feel like I was the luckiest one in the whole world. It gave me some kind of feeling which I can''t explain. "I, Vannesa Foster," I said looking at Enzo, "Take thee, Lorenzo Francisco, to be my lawful wedded husband," He squeezed my hands in comfort, as I continued "Today I become your wife and you my husband. I will strive to give you the best of myself while accepting you the way you are. I promise to respect you as a whole person with your own interests, desires, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no less important than my own. I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets, and dreams. I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both change, keeping our relationship alive and exciting. And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how, completely and forever." I said looking into his eyes, I meant every single word I said. I love him, I love him so much that I can''t hate him for what he did, I can''t do anything about it. He held my hand and put the ring on my finger. " With this, I pronounce you husband and wife, You may kiss the bride," the priest said, I tensed and looked up at him, he placed his hand under my chin, bending over, I lifted myself up on my toes, and his face came down at the same time. His lips met me, Nostalgia hit me hard. His lips felt the same, warm and soft. but there is hard desperation behind them, a need. The kiss speaks. It begs. Let me forget, forget, forget. All my distress and pain vanished, I craved his touch for 6 months and I realized how much I loved this man. I feel like on cloud nine, I moved closer to him and placed my hands around his neck, He was kissing me passionately. I poured all my emotions into that kiss, I heard the priest clearing his throat, and we broke our kiss. He leaned his head against mine, both breathing heavily. "I..I love you" he whispered, I looked up at him, "I love you too" I said staring into his eyes, His eyes darkened, he bends down and lifted me off my feet and scooped me in his arms, I instantly wrapped my arms around his neck. Everyone was looking at us with love and affection in their eyes. I''m married, now I''m Venessa Francisco. Author''s Note: Hey guys, please give a review if you like this book. Let me know your thoughts on this chapter below ?????? Love you people ???? Chapter 37：Apology He strode to our bedroom and kicked the door open, with another kick the door shut. He walked us to the bed and dropped me down; I bounced on the soft mattress. He climbed the bed and leaned over until my face was inches away from him, his hand moved to my neck and pulled me until our forehead touched. "I... I''m sorry," I stared at him, confused with his apology, "I know..That the things I did hurt you so bad, I have no other choice. I want you...I need you Venessa, I was angry at your decision, I waited for you to come back to me, I... I don''t know what else to do, I''m sorry," I don''t know what to say to him, So I just kept quiet because it''s rare that Enzo opens up to you, he''s the silent type, he never shares what or why he does what he does, it''s best to keep quiet and let him speak. In our entire relationship, Enzo never talked about things with me and I''m happy that he is telling me why he did this to me. "I..I c..ca..can''t let you go...There are things that you don''t know happening behind your back, and..I...I''m afraid that ... I..I. I''ll lose you...I don''t want to lose you. I want you... I really want you. I never Wanted somebody so bad...I...I can''t imagine my life without you. I...I.I," I see tears in his eyes, I couldn''t see him like this so, I quickly placed my hands around his neck and pulled him closer, our lips connected and I kissed him, He kissed me back gently, His lips are soft and warm, His left hand is caressing my cheek and his right hand is gripping me by the waist, pulling me against him. I move my lips against him, and then I pulled away, slowly, We stare at each other, "I love you, I will love you till I die and even after that...Trying to explain how much I love you is like trying to count the stars, you can try but it''s impossible and I promise you that I will never ever leave you even if you do thousands of mistakes, I''m nothing without you by my side Enzo" He pulled me towards him and kissed me, He drove his tongue inside mine, I grabbed his hair, yanked and pulled him closer. Then his hands came to life. He opened my zipper and helped me get out of my dress without breaking the kiss, I helped him remove his tux. I moan and pull his body down tightly against me, skin to skin. He sucks on my lower lip. Then his hand is on my breast, thumb on my nipple, He cups my breast and within seconds I was soaking wet and aching for him. He gently bites my top lip, sucks it. Tugs at my nipple, rolling it between his thumb and forefinger. he lowered his head and kissed between my breasts and slowly ran his tongue up her neck. His lips found mine again, with his hands and his mouth, he caressed me, his fingers moving down my body, pausing for a moment at my navel, then sliding lower. He gently eased my legs apart, slipped between the damp folds of my sex, and a long tattooed finger slid inside me. He moved his finger slowly inside me, I moaned in his mouth, "you''re so tight" he whispered in my mouth, I came hard on his finger. He removed his long tattooed finger from my pussy and licked it clean. He moved in between my legs and pulled his pants and boxers down. He bends over and with his skillful tongue, he kissed between my legs, rubbing, nudging, poking. His fingers pinched my nipples hurtfully and deliciously. He grabbed his manhood, I feel his tip touching my entrance. He slowly pushed it inside, I shut my eyes, and the tearing pain hit me. Tears rolled down from the sides of my eyes, he wiped them and claimed my lips. He moved slowly into me, he began moving in faster. At first, I was dazed, but I began to catch on and keep up, we moved together again and again and it felt so good I didn''t ever want to stop ¡ª until I came. He rolled over me and pulled me towards him, I rested my head on his chest and drifted off. ******** The next few days were a blur, we traveled back to Los Angeles. I was happy with him; we were over each other all the time. We were head over heels in love with each other, my college was also going well. ****** I woke up and found myself alone in the room; I got up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom; I did my morning routines and walked out of the bathroom, I dressed up in my lacy peach color one piece which reaches my knees; I combed my hair and let it down, I did my makeup and had a look at my reflection and smiled, I stepped out of my room and walked downstairs; I reached the dining area and sat down on the chair. Judy walked to me, "Good morning, Venessa" She greeted me. "Good morning, Judy," I greeted back. She served me breakfast. "Did he have breakfast?" I asked her. "Yes, he said he will be late today, and said you to do not wait for him," "Okay." I had my breakfast and walked outside, paul was waiting for me. He opened the door, and I climbed inside. He drove us out of the mansion. We reached college, and he parked the car in the parking lot. I stepped outside the car and walked inside the campus. I walked into my classroom and noticed Zach sitting on a chair next to mine. I smiled at him and walked to him. "Hey," I said. "Hey," "Why are you sitting alone, where is beth?" "She didn''t come," "Oh, why?" "She said she is going out with her mom." "With her mom, Great," Beth doesn''t like to go out with her mom, she feels bored with her. He chuckled at it, "Can I ask you something?" he said. "Yes," I said, looking at him. "Are you happy with him?" he asked with concern. "Yes, I''m," I said smiling. "I just want to tell you that I''m always here with you Venessa if you ever face a problem don''t hesitate to contact me," he said with sincerity in his eyes, I smiled, and side hugged him. "I will." ***** Day went on and it''s my last class. The bell rang, indicating that class was over. I packed my things and bid goodbyes to my friends and walked to the car. Paul opened the car door. I stepped inside and he closed the door and walked back to his seat. He drove us back to the mansion, "How was the day Vennesa?" He said, "Boring, Beth didn''t come to college and classes went on as usual," I said in a bored tone, "How was your day Paul?" "Mine was good dear," he said, We reached the mansion, I got out of the car and walked inside the house. I walked to my room and placed my bag on the table and walked directly to the bathroom, I freshened up and dressed in my ripped Shorts and an off-shoulder Burgundy long and flounce sleeves crop top. I want to go to the library and for the project which I have to submit the day after tomorrow, I took my bag and walked downstairs. While I''m walking through the living room, Judy saw me. "Vennessa?" She called from the kitchen, I turned to her, "Yes?" "Library," I said, "It''s on the top floor, why are you going outside?" She said pointing her finger and walking to me, "Oh, Ok Thank you," I said, Turning back to the stairs. She smiled at me and walked back to the kitchen. I climbed the stairs and reached 2 floors and I searched for the library and I didn''t find it. I climbed the stairs and reached the 3rd floor, I walked through the guest rooms, I turned back. I noticed something at a corner and turned back, I walked there and It''s the same gate which I tried to open that day. I traced my fingers on the panel on the right, I want to see what''s inside. I tried to open it, I typed some codes on the panel, it didn''t work. I got frustrated and kicked the door and turned around, I heard something and turned around to see the door open, all this time it was open and I like an idiot typed all the stupid codes. I slowly stepped inside the room, It was dark and there was only one light at a corner, I walked there and there was a metal door, I opened it there was a narrow path leading to something, I stepped inside and walked through it, my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage. I reached a corner where stairs were leading down, I walked down the stairs, there was a tunnel leading somewhere, I walked through the tunnel and reached a big metal double door, I pushed it and stepped inside and there was darkness inside. I walked and walked, at a corner there was light. As I walked closer to the light, I noticed someone. I walked closer to a clear picture. There was a man in a white T-shirt and black jeans, he was covered in blood, his head was hung low. His hands and legs were tied to the chair. His T-shirt was covered with blood, as I''m closer I can see his features clearly. My heart was beating furiously, My breathing was shaky, I tried to make a sound but nothing came out, I cleared my throat, "H..Hello" No response "Are...y..you okay?" I asked in shaking voice, Still no response "Are...you o..okay?" I said touching his shoulder, his body moved back and his face came to display and I gasped, stepping back. Tears were rolling down my cheeks, my body was shaking badly. Chapter 38：Shattered I looked around and there were computers around, placed on tables, and a big monitor on the wall. They''re off other than I found nothing that could help me. I hurried to him. I untied him; I pulled him up and raised his hand and I moved under his arms, I wrapped one of my hands around his waist and the other was holding his arm. With so much difficulty, I walked him towards the stairs, I climbed them, I was sobbing and struggling to climb the stairs with him. I somehow climbed the stairs and reached the gate. I moved us out and strolled through the room and stepped outside that. I walked us to my room, and I moved him to my bed; I took my phone in my hands and called the doctor. I was pacing back and forth, waiting for the doctor. He arrived. His name was Charles, one of Enzo''s friends. He cleaned the blood and dressed the bruises on his body, he gave him some doses of medicine. He walked to me with a worried expression. "Do you know him?" "Yes, how is he, Charles? is he okay?" I asked, "He is fine now. He will open his eyes in just a few minutes" "Thank god," I said, releasing the breath that I was holding. "He was beaten badly. He has injuries all over his body. Who did this to him?" He asked with concern, "I don''t know Charles, I...found him like this," I said. I was stopping myself not to cry in front of him. "Hmm...I need to leave now, call me if there is any emergency okay" he said touching my head. I walked inside to him, sat on the ground near him and rested my head on the bed and waited for him to open his eyes. Who did this to him? Is it Enzo? No...No Enzo will never do this my friends. He promised me, Who did this? Why did they tie him up and why did they beat him up like this?Did Aron do something? Why is he in my house unless someone in here did this to him, who could it be? With all these thoughts running in my head, I closed my eyes and drifted away. **** I hear someone calling me in a weak voice. I quickly opened my eyes. "V...ven..venssa.sa" he said in a very weak voice, he tried to get up. "Aron...Aron...wait," I said, taking a pillow and putting it behind him, he leaned back and smiled at me weakly. Tears were rolling down my cheeks looking at him, "Don''t c..cry" He said, "Wh..who did th..this to you?" He sighed but didn''t answer my question My heart beating rapidly against my ribcage, "Did...did he...do this...To you...?" I asked scared to know his answer, Before he could answer my question Enzo strolled inside and stopped, looking at me, His eyes moved to mine, and to him, No one made a noise. I turned to Aron, he looked at me and nodded. It shocked me, only one question was running in my head. Why? I looked at Enzo and stood up, tears were continuously streaming down my eyes, "why?" I asked Enzo, He said nothing, he just stood there like a statue. "Please te..tell me you didn''t do this," I said, "He will not tell you," someone said from behind, Enzo turned and a furious Remond stood there. "R..Remond," I said, shocked to see him here, I thought he was in London. He turned to me, "I''m sorry Nessa but the truth behind this might hurt you, do you still want to know?" I was confused, I looked back at Enzo. "I want to know please tell me," I said, "Enzo... did this to Aron..." "Wh...why...would Enzo do this to Aron?" I said shocked and confused. "Because he didn''t want Aron to tell you the truth about him," Zach said, I turned to Zach, "what truth?" I asked him, "Do you remember the day when you first saw him," asked Remond, I nodded, "You didn''t see him first Nessa he saw you first, he saw you when he entered into the restaurant and asked Seth Collins his best friend to have people around you, they inform Enzo every single thing you do. That day, That lady who called you on the stage. Do you know why she called you?[I shook my head] she called because he asked her to when he heard your voice while you''re talking to your friend and instantly understood that you''re a singer. He wanted you to notice him, He sent his bodyguard to threaten her. She got scared and called you to the stage. That day he sent his bodyguards behind you. That bodyguards followed you to your house that night [I remember that feeling I got that day like Someone is following me] and gave you the gift which was sent by him. That night Seth gave him all the details about you, where you study, where you live, your past with Brian, and everything.[I turned to look at Enzo with teary eyes] He called us and Threatened us to do as he says, He was the one who told me to bully you so that he could save you and become a hero in your eyes, Think about it, I never bullied you before why would all of sudden for no certain reason will I bully you, you know I never did that. He said to me to threaten that restaurant boss to fire you so that he can make you work under him, He never had a P.A of your age. Nobody accepts a P.A of your age how come you didn''t know that...[He paused and looked at Enzo] Do you know how did brian contacted you and found where you live, [I looked at Enzo with tears in my eyes,] He brought him out of the jail and gave your number said him to scare you, But Brian took advantage of it and tried to **** you. Do you know where he is now?[I shook my head] He killed him, Enzo cut both his hands and his manhood and buried him under one of his properties[I gasped and stepped backward] Let me show you the video,[ He moved to me] "No...No I don''t want to see It" I screamed, shaking my head and sobbing, he nodded and continued. Every single thing that happened in your life was perfectly planned by him. I tried to tell you this on that day when I told you to meet me, but I noticed his bodyguards around our school in normal clothes. That''s the reason why I gave tasks So that one of us can tell you this without Enzo''s Knowledge, I wanted you to be far from him by doing that task. But eventually, you would go back to him, every single plan failed, I even came to your home to tell you but I saw John there and left your house without telling you anything. He fooled you, Ness. Yes, He loved you, He loves you so much that he ripped that guy Anderson''s heart out for touching you, but he planned things which made you go closer to him, He used us all in the process" Remond said, pointing at Enzo. I collapsed on the ground, Enzo was the first to reach me. He touched my shoulder, I shoved his hand away. I looked at him, There was hurt in his eyes. I slapped him on his right cheek, "Don''t you dare fucking touch me" I said with venom, I stood up, He moved back and touched his cheek where I just slapped him. "Vennesa please listen to me, I..." He tried to say but I cut him off, "No .. Please...No" I sobbed, I couldn''t say anything, my body was numb. My hands were shaking and I felt like I would collapse anytime, tearing were streaming down my face. My breathing was unstable, Only one thing was running in my mind. He fooled me. He fooled me. "Venessa" He fooled me. "Venessa" He fooled me. "Venessa" I looked at that face, the one which I loved. I moved away from him, "Do not touch me" I said, "You...you...played me.." I sobbed, pointing my finger at him. "You''re such a liar" I said, sobbing and getting up from the ground. I looked at everyone around me, "Everyone...of you... Played me..." I cried out loud pointing at them, I couldn''t stand there, I couldn''t look at their faces, I lowered my head and covered my mouth with my hand to prevent the sobs. I ran out of the room, I stepped down the stairs and ran outside the mansion. I ran and ran and ran, I don''t know where I''m going, I just didn''t care. Everything flashed in front of my eyes, every single moment we shared. "I love you Vennesa" "You''re mine" "I can''t leave without you" Everything he said to me echoed in my head, Everything was a lie. Tears streaming down my face, I stopped at a place and noticed its a park. I wiped my tears and walked inside and sat down at the corner tree, I crawled up like a piece of paper as I sat with my knees held against my chest, I kept my head down on my knees Caps and let the tears down my eyes, I was crying my eyes out. Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder, I looked up to see a familiar face. Before I could say anything he pulled something and injected me, My eyes started to feel heavy and drifted off. Lorenzo''s POV. I was working on my new project in my office and suddenly my phone''s alarm began to ring. I took my phone and opened it. Someone entered the secret room. I can see it''s My baby, I quickly stood up from my chair and took my coat, I walked outside the building and Drove to the mansion. I was stuck in traffic and by the time I reached her, she was with him and he was about to tell her that I did this to him. I looked at her tears strained face and I realized what I have done. She stood up and asked me, I couldn''t answer her. I couldn''t see her hurt again. Then that idiot came with his goddamn friends, he said everything to her and I''ve seen collapsing in front of me, guilt stabbed me. This is all my mistake, I never felt this kind of a pain in my entire life. I couldn''t see her like this. She pushed me away, my anger rose. This is happening because of my mistakes, I shouldn''t have done this. I looked at them and my anger rose. They need to pay for what they''ve done. "John!!!" I screamed, John with 3 of my other bodyguards walked inside the room, "yes, sir" "Tie them up in the basement," I said, putting my hands in my pockets, "Doing this only makes Vennesa even angrier Enzo?" Remond said, I strode to him and grabbed his jaw. "Don''t you dare take her name from your mouth?" I said gripping his jaw, I pushed him back. "Take them and let him be," I said, my bodyguards, took them out, I looked at Aron. His bruised face, The look on her face when they said I did this, flashed in front of me, guilt was eating me inside. "I...I. I''m sorry" I said to him, He smiled at me. What the...he smiled? I was confused, I did this to him and he smiled at me. I was staring at him, my phone vibrated inside my pocket. I pulled my phone out. There was a notification from an unknown number. I opened it. She is mine now...Good luck with your life, Lore. The End Of Book 1 Chapter 39：Book2 Trailer "Wh...who are you?... You''re not my vennesa...you can''t be her," he said in disbelieve, shaking his head. "Your vennesa? [Chuckling]...she died long back ago darling, I''m not that girl who you loved before, I''m not that pathetic vennesa who would easily get manipulated by you... I''m not her" I replied, with same attitude. He gulped, staring at me. I smirked at his reaction. It''s showtime Lorenzo. "Okay, Now don''t waste my time with your bullshit Enzo Choose fastly and carefully...him?(pointing my finger at that man tied to the chair) or (smirking at him) me?!" He angled his head to glance at him, I can see him thinking intensely about the situation. I know he''s struggling to figure out a way to deal with me, I know better how to bend him to my will. "I have a deal," He said smirking at me. Like expected. I thought, while rolling my eyes. I strolled over the desk and sat on the edge of the desk resting my right leg over my left. "I know you would," he replied with a smirk, His stupid smirk was dropping my confidence. I diverted my gaze to the man on the chair, "Tell me" in an uninteresting tone. I can feel him striding towards me, I turned my head to look at him. He was walking to me while the left side of his faint red lip tugged upwards creating a sinister smirk on his god-like face; casting a spell of lust to eyes that dare look his way.
