Hellmatch: The Mafia's Heir novel Chapter 13

|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||

My defense got weak against him...

He referred to Ryan when he talked about my little secret. Ryan was the only one secret in my life. He knew it very well. Perhaps, he had also known that I could use myself as a shield against a bullet for Ryan. So, he wanted me to know that he was on control of everything. My little body stiffened hard at the thought of seeing Ryan cry.

I brought myself strong, replied after sucking a deep breath,

" Go..Got it..."

His eyes narrowed with a gleam of victory once again. Releasing his arms from my waist, he replied in a deep voice,

" Good! Now, GET OUT!"

__________

He wanted me 'OUT' as soon as I acted being obedient. I could be a brat sometimes but when it comes to Ryan, I could do nothing. But the smug look on his eyes when he made me 'cum' was still lingering in my thoughts. How could someone can make me disgusted and craved at the same time?

I kept squeezing my thighs together in front of the mirror table whenever images from last night came into my head. Luckily, Dad didn't come back from home last night or else I would have being interrogated like a prisoner.

" Anastasia... Anastasia.. Brown...oh gosh! She is so beautiful...", everyone exclaimed from my side. I looked into the mirror to see Anastasia standing with a smile. The happy gleam in her eyes disappeared as soon as they locked with mine. I wasn't supposed to join JK's fashion show but Luca kept his promise probably. No other papers dared to publish negative article about me this morning. This made me realize that Luca was a man of words. If he said that he was going to do it, he would do it at any cost. Like he claimed me as his new toy. This was enough to made my blood boil for him.

Sighing, I concentrated on my own make-up, hearing little commotion behind as the girls surrounded and greeted Anastasia like a bee. They all gave her different compliments as if she was some goddess, descending on the land of humans.

" Thanks Guys! It's nothing much really! I just work hard!", Anastasia muttered, giving her fake smile. Then she walked next to me, occupying the very next spot beside me. She kept her momentum arrogant as if she was upset with the fact that I didn't give her attention like others did. When I took a glance away from her, she started speaking to the next girl again. I heard her cheesy comment,

" Wow! Mr.Jasper must be passionate about you."

I couldn't help but giving her a better glance. Her neck was revealed now openly. Those fresh hickeys were showered around her neck. That little sting feeling didn't leave my heart. I knew that she got them from Jasper. Above all, he was the man that I loved once wholeheartedly. How could he forget about us so easily? I guess, men forget easily. Swallowing hard, I forced myself to stare at something else. Those marks would revive my scars only which I didn't want at all.

Her assistant, Jenny walked inside in no moment. Her eyes flashed with anger as soon as she saw me. She whispered to Jenny, loud enough to reach my ears,

" What is this bitch doing here?"

Anastasia scoffed, spatting through her gritted teeth,

" God knows! She must have played some dirty tricks to stay on JK!"

Anastasia had been always stating the same facts. Even in the past, she used to regard my success for my father's strong position in the business world. Although I didn't take her comments seriously, later on I began to notice the hint of jealousy behind her tongue. She nearly mentioned in front of the reporters that I got everything because of my father's merit. She loved to stir rumours about me like she did years ago. She backstabbed me, selling the information that I was pregnant with a stranger's child. Luckily, our friendship ended and she didn't know about Ryan still living in the world.

Someone changed the TV screen. In a while, we all were watching the entertainment news, something exciting heard in the background,

" Mr.Luca, what made you think that you should invest in JK?"

My breathing hitched at the mention of his name. Bringing my eyes back to the TV, I saw him in his light grey suit, looking magnificent and taking all the limelight all by himself. Only if they knew who he was. The smugness in his eyes was still there. I sharpened my ears to clear my thoughts.

Did he just invest in JK? Was that the reason Jk let me stay in his team even after those dirty rumours?

I pinched my skin uncomfortably. I hated it when someone pitied me. Even when I was at my knees, I never took any backup options. The only time that I took assistance was from my father. Jk spoke in a proud voice, looking at the screen,

" That man is really powerful..."

I closed my eyes shut to stop hurting. It was always him. He did this to control me. He was doing it again to prove that he could control my fate. One of the female reporters questioned him,

" Mr.Luca, did Kiera Stevens seduce you? You haven't given any statement ever since the rumors have spread."

I held my breath into my lungs. He could do anything. He could destroy us in a moment. He gave his cocky smile then returned his eyes into the camera as if he could see through me here.

What would be his reply? I was his mistress or just being used?
