He was about to tear off my clothes when a loud gunshot was heard. After that, series of screams and more gunshot followed.
Roman quickly stood up from my body, making me sigh in relief. I quickly stood up and adjusted my tattered clothes.
That was a really close call. It seems that the mansion was under attack. Whoever the assailants are, I really thank them because the commotion they just caused saved me big time.
I had a feeling it was Damian but I really hoped he wasn’t the one because I didn’t know how I would react to his presence after finding out he is a mafia lord.
I just hoped that it was one of Roman’s enemies that attacked him.
He quickly put on his trousers and brought out a gun I didn’t notice had been in a drawer all along.
“Quiet.” He warned as he stood in front of the door.
He cocked the gun and pointed it towards the door so as to be prepared for any unplanned attack. The gunshots were getting louder and nearer followed by painful screams and grunts.
I could notice Roman fidgeting but he was trying really hard to hide his expression. Too bad I could easily tell. It seemed like he knew who was attacking.
I prayed really hard that it isn’t Damian. Only God knows what he will do to me because I’m pretty sure he would have realized that I had escaped.
It really freighted me to the core. I decided to also be prepared, so I picked up the flower vase lying on the bed stand.
When I was sure he wasn’t watching, I tiptoed really close to him. I did it quietly so he wouldn’t notice. I stood right behind him and lifted the flower vase.
I was about to knock him out with it when a loud sound right outside the room was heard. I panicked so the vase fell off my hands and smashed into different tiny pieces on the floor.
It caught Roman’s attention so he ignored his gaze on the door and turned back to focus on me. He glared at me angrily when he figured out what I was about to do.
“You crazy bitch!!” He cussed as he used the butt of the gun to hit me on my head.
I fell down helplessly on the floor due to the impact. I held my head painfully as I felt a migraine coming. He didn’t stop there.
“Did you really think you could outsmart me?” He asked as he kicked me hard on my chest and stomach.
I couched when I felt the metallic taste of my blood in my mouth.
“I’ll kill you before Damian would find you. He will only be able to see your lifeless and scared body.” He said as he laughed like a psycho.
I tried so hard to block his assaults but he didn’t stop there. He hit anywhere his legs could touch. Including my face.
I never thought I’ll ever say this but I wished Damian was here.
The door was suddenly burst open which made Roman pause his assaults on me. I was glad. I looked up and saw Roman’s expression turned into shock, then fear.
“What the fuck do you think?” I heard that familiar voice.
“Is that Damian?” I thought happily.
He really came for me. I suddenly heard clashes and Roman grunting in pain but I was too weak to turn towards them. I just laid still on the floor.
“Damian, it’s not what you think it is. I was just…..” Roman croaked out in pain.
“You were what??? What gave you the right to kay your filthy hands on my woman??” I heard Damian roared out.
His woman? He just called me his woman. I could feel butterflies fluttering in my tummy. I don’t know why I’m this happy.
Then, I felt someone walking towards me. I looked up and realized it was Damian. He squatted to my level and picked my up in his arms.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Carrying me in bridal style. Me, being wrapped in his really broad arms made me feel special and loved. But I know it’s all a fantastic because he’s going to get back at me at home for trying to escape.
He walked out of the room and went outside the building. I saw series of dead bodies lying on the floor. I noticed most of them were Roman’s boys.
Just the sight of their bloody faces was enough to make me wanna puke out my intestines but I held myself back.
Damian carried me towards a jeep and laid me on the back seat. I saw Grey running towards us from the corner of my eye. He hands where bloody but the blood was obviously not his.
It made me feel nauseous so I looked away.
“Boss.” He called out breathlessly when he got to where we are.
“Are the rest okay?” Damian asked as he turned to stare at him.
‘Thankfully, yes. We are ready to move now.” He answered.
“Good. You know what to do.” Damian answered.
“Are you okay?” I heard Damian ask. Is he talking to me??
I turned back thinking Grey had left but he hadn’t. He was still standing there and giving me looks filled with anger and disdain.
When he noticed that my attention had turned towards him, he looked away and left in anger.
What’s wrong with him???
“Are you alright?” I heard Damian ask again so I gave him a small nod.
He scrutinized me for a while before he entered the jeep through the other door and seated beside me.
“Drive.” He ordered and the driver zoomed off.
I panicked when I felt something warm on my hands.
I wanted to pull it away when I noticed it was Damian’s hands gripping onto mine tightly. I decided to leave it like that.
All through the ride, it was quiet. My head was muddled with different thoughts. Mostly about him being a mafia lord.
I would occasionally give him short glances and opened my mouth to start a conversation but I always held myself back.
“Do you have something to ask me?” I heard him ask so I looked up to see him staring down at me.
It’s now or never. I might not like the answer he would say but I just wanted to know the truth. I summoned all courage within me and opened my mouth.
“Are you part of a mafia?” I blurted out staring at him.
I felt his body stiffened beside me. His hands wrapped around mine tightened. His calm expression turned into shock.
What’s with that reaction?? That only means Roman was right. I could feel my heart tighten around my chest. I can’t believe I have been living with a mafia don.
