"Thirty million" I heard a male voice echo round the walls of the hall which silenced everyone. Who would bid that high just to buy me? "Thirty million dollars" the male voice spoke up once again, a young man striding confidently forward like he owned the very building with his bidding card raised up. He was eighty percent taller than everyone in attendance. I sucked in breath at his refined but cold appearance. His tuxedo hugged his body and showed of his impeccable muscles. His dark long hair was slick and let to fall, not a single strand out of place. He had the profile of a greek God but his features lacked warmth and empathy. His brown steel eyes burrowed into mine, a look of disgust on his face for me. "Sold!" the chairman hit the gavel on the table after a brief moment of silence since no one else was willing to bid higher. A wave of ovation took the hall, men chattering amongst themselves and whistling. "Get her ready and bring her to me" he pivoted and sharply ordered one of the armed bodyguards standing close to the podium. He owns me now. **** When a ruthless mafia lord bids for an innocent girl, can her innocense survive in the abyss of his darkness?
View MoreSARAH It had been three weeks since Emilio left for Cuba, and sincerely I was missing so much.I thought after the entire Dmitry saga, we would get to spend time together but we'll duty called. He left for cuba barely a week after Daniel tried to attack us. He didn't give me details as to what new issue had arose, he just cryptically told me it was mafia issues.Well here I was, wandering through a kid’s boutique with Maria and June, two of our house staff. The store was filled with bright colours and the cheerful laughter of children.Yes. I am pregnant. I found out about it days after Emilio's departure. When I missed my period I was shocked and I had my suspicions but I wanted to do a test to confirm and indeed it came out positive.I could not contain my smiles that day, I was carrying the symbol of I and Emilio's love. I can barely imagine how happy he would be. The thought of being a parent is quite refreshing, enough to make one burst out of happiness.I shuffled through the
SARAH“Careful now,” I murmured, my hand gently pressing against Emilio’s back as we approached the staircase. The air was free with the scent of home, a big warm welcome from the stiff hospital we had left behind.It's been close to a week since Emilio was admitted in the hospital and now I'm just glad to have him back home.The shock on Emilio's face when I filled him on the details of my last kidnap that led us to Dmitry was incomparable to none.Although he wasn't surprised that Daniel orchestrated it, he still found it quite shocking. He played the 'I told you' card at me countless times like a toddler.It was such an horrifying experience and I'm glad it's all behind us.Emilio, with a mock frown, glanced over his shoulder. “Sarah, I assure you, I’m perfectly fine. No need for the babysitting,” he said, attempting to wave me off.“But your back—” I began, only to be cut off by his chuckle.“My back, yes, but my legs are still mine. “See? Legs intact.” He lifted his feet playful
SARAHGlancing at the wall clock, the time read 2 a.m., and a lot of worrying thoughts ran through my mind. We had been here for over two hours and honestly I was growing crippled with fear each passing second.“What’s taking so long? Why won’t they tell me anything?” I wondered.The hospital was a world of its own. The lights were too bright for the dark outside, and the silence was broken only by the soft beeps of machines and the distant shuffle of nurses’ feet. The air was cool and had a clean smell that somehow made my heart race even faster. I couldn’t sit still, not even for one second.I kept walking up and down the corridor, my mind racing as fast as my feet. It had been an hour since they took Emilio into the ICU, and every minute felt like a lifetime. “Is he alive? Is he okay?” The questions kept hammering in my head, refusing to let me breathe.Oh God. Please keep Emilio alive for me.The only good news I heard tonigt was when Luca informed me that this hospital was run
SARAHEverything happened like a movie in my eyes, my mind still lingering in the shock of it all. For a fleeting moment, I held unto Emilio, crying so bitterly on his bloody chest.The wind grew fierce around us, howling loudly in my ear and blowing tendrils of my hair towards my face. Lightening flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled in the distant sky.The storm started softly, but it didn’t take long before it became a tempest. Emilio can't die! He can't leave me!I straddled Emilio’s head in my lap, as the rain showed no signs of stopping. Each breath I took was a fight, a silent battle for survival. My tears joined the rain, both coming from a place of deep sadness.As I held Emilio, a flood of memories filled my mind. Each one was a reminder of the life we were building and the dreams we still had. I couldn’t let those dreams die with him. The thought of a future without him, without his loving touch, was too much too bear. He was my peace. “This. This is all my fault” I
SARAHI cowered in fear, my heart racing, as a bloody gun battle erupted around me. Emilio's men and Dmitry's gang exchanged blaring gunfire, the scent of gunpowder filling the air. I scrambled to find safety, crawling behind a chair as people dropped dead beside me.Blood splattered everywhere, and I felt constant nausea. I covered my ears, trying to block out the deafening sounds of gunfire. My eyes welled up with tears as I frantically searched for Emilio with my eyes, but he was nowhere to be seen. The house was a war zone, and I feared for his life."Sarah, get out of the house!" Emilio yelled, his voice barely audible over the chaos.But the gunfire raged on, drowning out all other sounds. I couldn't hear Emilio anymore, the violence engulfing the house in a haze of smoke and blood. I trembled, my body shaking uncontrollably.I wanted to run to him, but fear paralyzed me. The gunfire was getting closer, and I knew I had to move. With a surge of adrenaline, I peeked around the c
EMILIOI leaped into the passenger seat of the dark mustang, the leather groaning beneath my weight as I slammed the door shut. My men followed close behind - Luca and Alessio whilst Marcello and two of his most skilled underbosses -Jose and Petro, tailgated in another car. Javier slid in next to the driver seat, his fingers tapping on the tracking device.“Hit the road," I growled to the driver, my voice thick with urgency. We couldn't afford to waste a moment. Every second counted, every minute brought Sarah closer to danger.Luca scoffed from the backseat, his voice dripping with disdain. "Javier better be damn sure about this location," he muttered under his breath, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. "If we're going in blind, I'll deal with him personally."Javier turned to face us, his eyes alight with determination. "I'm sure about it," he insisted, his voice steady despite the tension in the air. "The Ghost wants to be found this time. But the connection isn't stable. We coul
EMILIOI paced back and forth in the cramped computer room. The air was thick with tension, the only sounds being the constant beeping of devices and the furious typing of the young men around me. I stood at the center, surrounded by my men, each one focused on the task - LOCATING THE GHOST.As I paced, the sound of my footsteps reverberating against the cold floor, Sarah's face flashed before my eyes. She had become my vulnerability, my greatest weakness, and the thought of her suffering tore at my soul."She's out there, vulnerable!," I muttered under my breath. "Alone, with that lunatic, Fuck!"Luca's hand landed on my shoulder, a gesture of comfort that I couldn't bring myself to appreciate. His reassurances fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the roar of fear that echoed in my mind."Don't worry," Luca said, his voice steady despite the tension in the air. "We will definitely find her. We'll bring her back.""Don’t worry?! Sit here and wait?! That's not an option! I need to take
SARAHI fell, my body crashing to the ground. The impact was like a slap in the face, jolting me awake. Groaning, I struggled to push myself upright, my head throbbing as if it were about to split open. Where was I?Blinking away the haze that clouded my vision, I took in my surroundings. This wasn't the same room I was being held hostage earlier. This room was dimly lit, the only source of light a flickering bulb dangling from the ceiling. Cold, grey stone walls closed in around me, and the musty scent of damp earth filled the air. Panic clawed at my chest as I realized I was bounded, ropes biting into my wrists with every futile attempt to free myself.Memories, Distorted, flooded my mind. Leaving Emilio, Grace’s threats, the sinister grin on Daniel's face, the feeling of being dragged into a dark abyss against my will. But the details remained elusive.As I struggled against my restraints, a sharp pain lanced through my skull, causing me to wince. It felt as though a thousand need
SARAH I woke up to a throbbing headache, my eyes slowly opening to darkness. I struggled to remember how I got there, but my memories were fuzzy. My hands and feet were bound, and I was lying on a cold, hard floor. Panic set in as I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head, making me wince. I fell back onto the floor, my mind racing.Where am I? How did I get here? The questions swirled in my head but I couldn't grasp any answers. I remembered leaving Emilio's house, feeling a mix of emotions: sadness, anger, and fear. But what happened after that?As I lay there, I heard the creaks and groans of an old building, the distant hum of a car driving by, and the sound of my own subtle breathing. The air was stale and musty, filled with the scent of decay. I wrinkled my nose, trying to remember if I had ever smelled anything like it before.With a surge of determination, I tried to sit up again. This time, I managed to prop myself up against the wall, my head spinning. The ro
