A grand party was organized at house for my so-called father’s fiftieth birth anniversary. He was happy to celebrate his birthday having no idea that I was preparing for his death silently.
All the major gangs were invited as these kinds of parties serve a good medium for making bonds and deals. The loud sound of laughter, music and people chattering filled the hall.
I descended down the staircase with my dad next to me, a facade smile covering my face, I was wearing a backless black one piece with a long slit at its left showing my one leg almost bear with silver pair of sandals, he likes showcasing me everywhere he goes so, it was the best time to do it.
Cameras were flashing taking shots for tomorrow's headline, one of the biggest party of the year organised by Viatalio's celebrating the leaders birthday .
“Give them a polite smile Olivia,” I heard him speaking through his teeth. No wonder he cares about the cover page pic a lot. I inched myself closer to him whispering in his ears with malice, “Why dad are you afraid that they’ll know how much I love you ,” I stressed the word dad intentionally. He can try to control anyone but not me, I’m not an animal that he can leash. He looked at me with anger evident in his countenance but hid it before anyone could notice.
“Happy fiftieth birthday dad, wish you could celebrate the next one too.” And with this I turned my back against him leaving him with his shit people, he could enjoy his party for fuck’s sake but I’m not into his show. I walked towards the bar and took my seat at the corner in shadows where no one can see me.
“One glass of vodka,” My eyes were on him and his every movement, soon I will destroy him in pieces and he will pay for everything he did, you will regret it dad! I was alone with no one around but then I felt someone taking a seat next to me, his woody scent hit my senses, I ignored the urge to look at him then in his hoarse voice he ordered,” I’ll have the same.” And one more fucker who is here to hit on me. he will regret it.
“It looks like Miss VItalio is not interested in her own father’s birth anniversary.” A faint smile touched my lips and I turned in his direction. He was different and I was met with a pair of pure blue eyes ready to devour you in its endlessness, thick lashes, a sharp jawline and everything about his face spoke that looks are deceptive.
"Excuse me?" I acted as if I didn't know him. "Victor Amuso," He said sipping on his glass of vodka with eyes studying me like a hawk. I kept my face neutral.
Victor Amuso, son of my father’s biggest enemy, devil with a face of angel was sitting next to me interested in my business? No wonder my father believes in the fact that keep your friends closer but you enemies the closest so, he was invited.
“It looks like Mr. Amuso is a lot interested in my business,” I said giving him a sly smile and I saw evil in his eyes. He inched closer to where I was sitting sipping on his glass of vodka taking his own time to respond and I noticed how his Adam's apple moved when he swallowed. Something about him was intimidating.
“What if I say a yes?” He said in his dangerously handsome voice electrocuting me at my spot. I wasn't expecting this coming from him. I looked at him intently and saw something in his eyes.
He had motives but today wasn’t the day for it, I have things to focus on. “For sure but today isn't the day, you can enjoy the drinks, see you around,” I replied with politeness and he smirked, I ignored him and stood on my heels to leave.
“I thought I’ll ask you for a dance,” His sinful voice, I'll lie if I say he wasn't doing things to me but of course he was here to play, I stopped on my tracks and I was able to feel him walking in my direction with long confident strides.
“So should I take it as a yes,” I saw my dad looking at me from the corner of his eyes, time to piss him off.
I turned to look at him, he was wearing a black tuxedo, he was handsome! I looked shorter even with my height of 5'7 in front of him. He must be 6'2. “It won’t be nice to upset our guest.” I said offering my hands to take the lead and the devil smiled.
He took my hand in his large ones and we headed to the dance floor, I could see fury on my father’s face and I was happy.
The music played in the background with his left hand holding my right and his other hand went around my waist, his long, rough fingers brushing the back of my waist, a shiver ran down my spine with his touch but I kept my expressions stoic. I looked straight into his eyes to find out what games he was playing but there was nothing, his eyes were like empty bottomless sea and doesn't matter how deep you go, you'll find nothing and eventually you'll be lost and so was I lost in his blue.
He was a good dancer, no wonder why women are head over heels for him, He was swirling, swaying me and I was impressed “So miss Vitalio what are your interests?”
His sinful voice! I saw the way his eyes were shining with danger. For once I felt like I want to play along with him, his fire! Doesn't matter even if it burns me but I was sure I'll take him with me.
“Why are you planning to pursue your enemy’s daughter?” I challenged him and he pulled me closer without a warning. It was an unexpected move and my bosom crashed against his, my pupils enlarged as to what he was doing and then he victoriously replied seeing the astonishment on my face. He got a response from me; he wanted me to react. And I gave him.
“And I know you’ll happily agree to it just to piss you dad.” He felt happy to see me off- guard. How come he knows that I was dancing to piss my dad.
I was done with his mind games, “Don’t think that you know everything when you don’t,” I said looking in his eyes with fury. I was off-guard and feeling vulnerable in front of him was the last thing I wanted.
“Hatred is written all over face so if you want to win learn to hide it Miss Vitalio,” And he was gone taking away his warmth with him and I saw my dad, he was frustrated but not more than me, how dare he? I cared less about anyone at that moment and stood at the corner calming down my nerves and waiting for the right time to gift my father.
But something felt strange and without even looking back, I knew he was looking at me without evening blinking his eyes, he was challenging me in the open.
What a maniac! I ignored him as if I had no idea about that.
BeepBeepI looked at my phone, “The work is done," And the text I was waiting for so long came, I looked up to check on my dad, he was busy with his friends and even I was busy to prepare his gift but now it’s done.Everyone gathered at the centre for the grand cake cutting ceremony and were eagerly waiting for the clock to tick to 12 “The countdown begins,” I stood next to him with all the cameras on us ready to capture.And then in the crowd my eyes met his blue, something about the way he was looking at me was unsettling. He had a smirk on his face and was enjoying the vulnerability on face.ThreeTwoOne.Boom! And fuck nothing happened. How come what I planned didn't happen, I looked up at the chandelier, it was supposed to fall but it didn't. It didn't fall, anger, irritation, frustration crawled my skin but I had to keep the calm and for one last time I looked in his eyes, it was him. He should have not interfered in my business. Songs were sung, everyone was chanting happy bi
After throwing every single thing around me, I made back to the party only to find out that he was gone. It wasn't like I was looking for him."Where were you Olivia?" I turned to find my dad with a brunette half of his age throwing herself on him. Trust me it makes him look more disgusting."It's strange to find you noticed," The smile on his face vanished and I didn't even wait for him to respond but I know it would have infuriated him. It's almost a week since that birthday party. Initially his thought clouded my head as it was strange that he left and there was no sign of him. I am not saying I want him to show up.I had to go to college so, I took a quick shower, changed into my torn denim jeans with white ripped crop top and of course my knife. I wore a pair of nude heels as I love wearing them.I kept my gun in my backpack and took my phone and car keys. Everything looked normal but there was that strange feeling which wasn't leaving me.I started my car and then my phone dinge
It was a Sunday evening, a perfect day off for me. I was expecting him to show up or do something again but surprisingly he didn't. I was on my way to go outside when my dad's second-in-command stopped me and asked me to go to my dad's office.I entered his office and he was sitting there busy reading some papers."You asked me to come?" He didn't even look up to acknowledge me. "I am going to meet few important clients and you are coming with me," He was ordering me again like a bastard dad he is to me. I don't get it like why all men around me always want me to listen to them and do whatever they want."I have my plan today I cannot make it today. " And he gave me a sharp look. "I didn't ask you that you have plans or not it's an order and you are coming," "What makes you think that way?" I snapped at him."You want to be locked here for days?" He knows what I hate the most and it is being caged. I grinded my teeth, keeping my seething anger to myself."Fine," I turned on my heels a
I was certain about one thing that I am not going down alone, I will take him with me. I took long strides and blocked his way making sure he doesn't unlocks the door. He lifted one of his brows, confusion evident in his eyes," what are you upto Miss Vitalio?" "You think I'm letting you go through this door," I stated. I didn't find anything wrong in what I said but my words sounded amusing to him. He chuckled and took a step back, crossed his arms and continued," then how about you tell me if there's any other exit because I have business to do here unlike you," not only he was laughing at me but also mocking at the fact that I had no reasons to be here. It was a direct insult, no wonder he knows how to push my buttons. I pressed my lips together and tried to reason out with him. "See, it will be a problem for us if they see you and me together. " And trust me the reply he gave I felt like stuffing his mouth with all the used toilet papers. " Problem for us? It will only be a p
I backed off and looked at him with a satisfactory smile on my face, drop of his blood at the corner of my lips. He inched closer to me entering my personal space, my eyes studying his moves. I thought he'll take it as a warning but I was wrong. He brought his thumb to wipe the blood off my lips. The moment his roughness touched the smoothness of my lips my heart skipped a beat. It was a simple move yet it had an electrifying effect on me and the next thing which he did was the last thing I expected. He sucked on his thumb. "You should have told me that you were hungry for my blood. If it makes you feel better you are free to do it anytime," He said nonchalantly as if he didn't know I bit on him to hurt him. He is the only person who manages to make me feel things and piss me off simultaneously. Of course I can't win against him but I'll not leave this golden opportunity too. "You are right I am hungry," And this time without a warning, I pulled him closer by his collar with our
I kept on aiming blows in his directions but he didn't even flinch, he threw me in the passenger's seat like a rag of doll, took his driver's seat and ignited the engine. The car purred into life and there was no running back from where he was taking me. My dad was out for business so, there was no chance he'll care about my whereabouts. "Put on your seatbelts," He said while his focus was on the road. Always ordering me around. "What a fucker," I muttered under my breathe. "Don't think I can't hear you," Was I really that loud. I thought to myself. "I can read lips," I rolled my eyes at his confession. I looked out while he was driving as his face was the last thing I wanted to look at. No doubt he is handsome but looking at him reminds me how he tries to control me everytime. "Can you tell me where are you taking me Mr. Amuso?" I asked him but he ignored answering me. I felt like wringing someone's neck and I wish I could make him that someone. My eyes fell on his calm and com
WARNING:THIS CHAPTER HAS VIOLENCE.Something didn't feel correct, I was having binocular vision, dark around the edges, two circles of vision in the center then darkness flooded in. I woke up with my head on the side of something hard. Where am I?I was having a throbbing ache in my head making it difficult for me to think straight, memories of the ball night flashed and I realized I was drugged and fell unconscious but what happened after? My breaths were shallow, time had passed but how much? I had no clue about it. My reactions were slow, I was aware of my surroundings but I felt like I'm heavily drunk.I wanted to run, and call for help but nothing worked. I felt motionless, my body felt heavy and doesn't matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to move even my finger. What did that fucker add to my drink? A million thoughts crossed my head about the possibility of being brutally assaulted and no one will ever know. After lying there for minutes, I realised I was seated in a car's p
"Mam, please wake up, mam..," my eyes snapped open at the voice of someone continuously calling for me. I was in a cold sweat, paranoia taking over due to the loss of the familiar soothing cologne. I rub my eyes to fully awaken myself and realized I was in my car. Standing in front of me like two giant pillars were my dad's bodyguards. "Mam, are you okay?" How did I end up in my car, I forced my body up to look around and my car was parked a few meters away from the property? The guards helped me out of the car, "Mam, why were you sleeping in your car?" They asked."I was drunk so..," I realized they don't need to know everything, I handed my car keys to one of them saying, "I'll go to my room,""Mam.," I cut them off as I was in no mood of chatting. Why did he not wake me up before leaving? Maybe I should have thanked him but none of this would have happened if he would have not taken me with him in the first place. Wait! Olivia were you thinking of thanking him, from when did you
