The following day.My men came to and tell me there is an auction the following day at the 24 bay on the ship.I told my men to keep investigating my enemies while some of my men should get ready to follow me to the Auction the following day.I picked my phone to alert Ricardo but then I change my mind because I had a different plan. I feel so restless not seeing my Charlene, I regret no listening to her that she doesn’t wanna leave me, I was only going to do what I thought was best for her protecting her, I should have just listen to her, I should have just think of looking out for her not push her away.This time I am not going to let go of her, I am going to let her stay with me. I couldn’t sleep all night , I couldn’t wait for the day to break. Immediately the to host day break we started preparing to go to the auction.RICARDO.I got information about an auction that was going to happen at Bay 24 on the ship.I called a meeting with my men , I told them to get ready to go to t
My men had their gun pointed at them while Charlene’s father men points their gun at my men.I walked to them and raise my hand up. We do not need to fight, we will come with you” I said.My men looked at me in surprise while I walk back into the car.I know my men were so surprised to see my reaction because they know I was supposed to revenge on Ricardo but me accepting to go with his men is risky.I will do anything for my wife. The convoy moves and it followed Charlene’s dad’s convoy.We drove into the compound and as Charlene looked out of the car she look back to me.“ Where is this? He asked.“We are here to have a talk with your dad” i said.“ My dad? You knew my dad died right ? She asked.“ Yes but he isn’t your father , he is your mom’s husband maybe if you meet with your father he will explain better to you” he said.“ Do you know the woman who kidnapped me was my sister?I asked.“ Martinez? Your adopted sister” he said .“ You know she told me and I never believed she an
He undressed me and took me to the bathroom, he bath me, I also bath him, he picked me up and took me to bed and we had sex.MATINEZ.I was so furious when my auction got disrupted by Alfredo, I was venting my anger at my men. I left and walk into my car angrily telling them to search for Charlene.I drove off in anger, I haven’t drove so far that a truck crossed me. Some men came out and they brought out gun. I also try to shoot but they over power me.They drag me into the car and deal a black cap over my head.After an hour they drag me out out of the car and the man yelled out.“ How dare you drag my daughter that way! The men became gentle with me.I was shocked when he said that. I was taken towards him, I could feel that I am in the presence of someone.“ remove the cap” he commanded.The men did as he was told, my eyes were blurr as the cap was remove from my head and I was surprised the man that had called me his daughter.“Matteo” I called out.If I can remember he used to be
“Your soft heart will be your downfall.” Rhoda returns to the man and holds the knife to his throat.I close my eyes and block out his screams for mercy.“Open your eyes, Charlene,” she commands. “If you don’t, I will cut him deeper. Youmustwatch.”“Will you let him live if I watch?”“This man burned down a house, and a boy died.” Talia looks from man to man as each one laughs. “He knew the boy was in the house, yet he did it anyway. The boy did nothing wrong. Should I let the innocent suffer while the wicked go free?”I don’t know what to say. If it’s true, the man should be punished, but not by Rhoda. “You should turn him over to the police.”They laugh even harder this time as I tremble on that cold floor with fear.“What do you think he is, Little Ms. Lucky?” Rhoda smirks as she raises the knife in her hand.I know what’s coming, and I am powerless to stop it. Her face turns into a cruel mask of rage. The blade strikes with precision, slicing through the man’s throat in one clean m
“I know who and what you are,” he wheezes. “And I don’t care what you do to me. Shoot me in the head and throw me in a ditch. I don’t care. Do you have a message for your father when I see him in hell?”“Don’t plan your trip so soon.” I watch the traffic out the car window as if I’m a tourist enjoying the ride. “You’ll be receiving medical attention where I’m taking you.”“I’ll refuse it. I want to die.”“If it was up to me, old man, I’d let you die. Hell, I’d even keep you around to witness your slow and painful decline. But your daughter Charlene would be devastated. So, you’ll be under a doctor’s care.”“How do you know what she wants?” he asks. “What have you done with my daughter?”“What have I done to your daughter?” I meet his gaze in the rearview mirror. “I married her.”“Liar.” He folds his arms over his chest and winces in pain.“I don’t lie,” I say as I turn to look him in the eyes. “That’s something thieves do.”A shadow of a recoil passes over his face at the mention of t
Because she was a whore that he couldn’t control, just like my wife,” he says. “Has dear Eva ever shown you the list of men she’s been with? I’m surprised Eduardo didn’t break her neck that night. How do you know you’re even Eduardo’s son? Maybe you’re a bastard, like your sister that I have raised as mine.”I was shocked know this same man had raised a girl my mom had given birth to as his child.I had always have hatred for Rhoda and I never knew she is my sister.“ You look shocked? Your mom slept with so many men that she left you for years and go with another man who happen to be my friend, he died and your mom returned to your father , I was surprised he still accepted her.I rush to the bed, but he smiles at my display of anger.He wants to die,I remind myself. Now he knows what to say, and I don’t know how to get under his skin.“I don’t believe you’re married to my daughter,” he continues. “She has the good sense not to get involved with filth. From what I have seen from my da
The woman is only here because she’s a stand-in for me. Rhoda won’t dare hurt me physically, but she’ll do all she can to make me suffer emotionally. It’s working as I hold myself and rock. Or maybe Rhoda will hurt me. Maybe she’s proving that no one is off-limits to her crazy hate.“Rhoda .” I inch closer to the bars. “Please don’t hurt her. Her father will pay.”Rhoda cocks her head to the side. “Pay? Do you take me for a cheap whore?”It takes every ounce of strength to say nothing and keep myself from reaching for my belly. But I manage it all the same.“Do you ever think,” Rhoda asks as she faces me, “that one day you might have to watch this if your husband wills it? Would you tell him to spare an enemy so that you might spare your conscience? Do you imagine that he would listen?”“You don’t have to do this ,” I protest. Rhoda throws her head back and laughs madly. “Then clearly you know nothing of our dear Matinez”With desperate eyes, the woman looks at me and then at Rhoda.
The ransom?” I ask.Rhoda walks toward the bed and sits down beside me. “He paid me what he owed me when he saw what we would do to her.”“You mean what you did do.” I correct her.“It was a show for the cameras,” she explains casually. “I would only go so far with a woman. Besides, she’s worth more if she’s untouched. My men put on a good and convincing show for the cameras.”A chill races through me, but thankfully it isn’t followed by sickness. I shift my weight away from hers, and Rhoda eyes my hips as I move away. I shouldn’t have done that. I gave her back a little of her power.Her eyes meet mine with a predator’s gleam. “And that’s the trick. The implied threats are often the most powerful. Your victims will fill in the gaps with their own imagination. You only need to give that imagination enough material to grow. Her father was given a warning. He listens to warnings,Mrs. Reagan.”My stomach gurgles loud enough for us both to hear, but I ignore it. I will myself to stare ste
