VERA'S POVWhat the lady down the basement had said, was true. The war between the Mafia Lords was a rough game, and I was certainly going to be trampled on, while they are at it. Lord Daniel, making me a bait showed that my death was near."Kavon, prepare her for today's training." He instructed, and walked out of the dungeon.Now, I understood the reason he bought me for $50 million. He had seen my innocence as an advantage to his plan."Follow me." Kavon said.We got to a large pool, and then I noticed that there was another large pool."There could be a time when you could be in a problem, probably things got too rough, learning how to stay underwater, would be helpful as you could come across a situation that needs you to stay calm, underwater." My eyes widened in fear. Was he going to tell me to stay in this pool for a few minutes?"If you can't stay in this pool for up to three minutes, you will be bound inside the cold pool for three minutes, and try not to go unconscious, be

MELISSA’S POVI was back to Lord Daniel’s mansion, and I sat in my room, feeling down. How did I manage to get into this trouble? It’s just as that lady said to me that I would end up in a battle ground between both of them, and I would be like the grass that suffers when elephants fight. Recalling that, I decided to go to the basement and ask a few questions. I stood up from the bed, and walked out of the room. I looked left and right in the hallway, and tiptoed out of the hallway. On getting to the sitting room, I looked around to be certain there was no one lurking around anywhere. I knew it was because I was about to do something which could cost me my life, or make Lord Daniel torture me, that I was carefully walking.As soon as I got to the stairs leading to the basement, it felt as if a huge rock was dropped in my heart. I felt like my blood became cold.“You can do this, Melissa.” I muttered under my breath.I walked down the stairs, step by step, careful not to make a noise.

Vera felt hopeless and like she was doomed. She knew how important it was for a lady to have her purity to herself, and it was obvious that these guys would still ask for sex some other time, and there’s no way in the world that she would be able to decline their request and gradually, she would be their underdog with no respect.Before anything else could happen, someone grabbed her arm out of nowhere, and was able to dodge some hits from the Pride Boys. Vera had no time to see who it was; all she just wanted at that moment was to get far away from them, without them having to achieve the bad goal they had of her.As they got out of the school, they kept on running, and this time, Vera had the time to look at who it was.“Who are you? And why did you save me from them?” She asked inquisitively.At least, anyone would like to know who their savior is and what pushed them to save them.“I’m Andrew, but I will tell you the rest of the details, as soon as we get to a safe place.” Andrew s

Vera gasped in shock, and moved a few steps backwards.“I hope you’re not planning to run, because that would only aggravate the situation.” Charles uttered.Vera couldn’t believe he would actually make attempt to arrest her.“Charles, but I just said I didn’t do it, and I don’t understand how the money was withdrawn.”“It is boss, to you. And what kind of secretary are you if you claim you don’t know how the money went missing. Yet, you’re acting like you know nothing about it. If you must know, I’m currently highly disappointed in you.”Not long after he said that, a knock came on the door, and Charles urged the person to come in.“Boss, what’s going on? The cops are headed to your office.” James voiced out, looking quite concerned.But then, Charles didn’t say a word, and he had to look at Vera who was silent. Her head was dropped down like she was too embarrassed to face him.“What’s going on?” James asked again, in a low tone as his eyes drifted from Charles to Vera.“If you’re re

VERA'S POVI was lost in thoughts while walking back home. I felt so troubled, lost, dejected, and tired of it all. I couldn’t believe that Lord Daniel truly had his eyes on me in the school and what was more surprising was that it was my professor.Now, I was in trouble seeing as Professor Darwin was ready to destroy my life if I didn’t do his bidding.“Oh, gosh! What do I do about this?” I stomped my feet like a pouting child.“Is there anything wrong?” Kavon questioned, out of the blue.I didn’t notice that I had almost gotten home until I looked up at Kavon and then I glanced at the mansion.“Uhm… N…nothing.” I replied, then I walked into the mansion.When I got into my room, I sat on the bed like a lifeless being. Thinking back to when Professor Darwin asked me to have sex with him, I felt frustrated.“I can’t have sex with that man. No. There has to be another way around this.” I muttered under my breath as I stared at the ceiling.My eyes gradually closed as they became heavy,
