Chapter 5 Power Is Everything
Lucas POV
After abandoning Bella at the birthday venue, I finally felt free as I held the woman I truly love in my arms.
“We finally got rid of that clingy bitch and now, you can be with Haley without worries” Sasha said with a triumphant smile while raising her glass for a toast.
“To better days” Haley raised hers as well and we toasted to Bella's abandonment.
“I will drop here, I need to go have some fun tonight, tomorrow morning will be even better” Sasha said as she alighted from the car in front of a high-end bar.
The driver immediately headed in the direction of the Moretti estate.
“Calm down” I quickly held Haley’s wandering hands.
I knew she has been holding back for the past three years because of my contract with the Ricci family, I neglected her a lot.
“Drive faster!” I ordered the driver and he immediately increased the speed of the car.
As soon as the car came to a stop, we rushed into the villa. I grabbed her and started devouring her lips. I have missed her so much.
“Baby, I missed you” She moaned amidst my torrent of kisses.
I didn't stop kissing her, as I picked her up and walked up the stairs in a rush. On getting to the bathroom, I quickly ripped off her dress, the sight of her naked body made me even more excited.
“I am all yours, take me..” she moaned breathlessly, her submissive expression igniting a fire within me.
This was one of the many reasons why I love her. She might not be as smart as Bella but she definitely knows how to make me feel satisfied.
Bella was never submissive, which I found extremely irritating.
I slowly placed kisses all over her delicate body, her skin was so soft and I had an urge to touch it roughly to see if it would bleed.
“Ahhhhh!” she screamed when I spanked her without warning.
“Who am I?” I growled in her ears.
“My king” she whispered softly and I spanked her again.
This is what I like…. Pure dominance.
After spanking her to my satisfaction, I went ahead to take her over and over again, until she almost passed out from exhaustion.
The three years of holding back my urge to dominate a woman has finally been released tonight and I felt extremely satisfied.
She tried to cuddle me but I pushed her hands away as I only allow it when I am the one that initiates it.
She looked hurt and I really found it confusing.
“Why are you acting off? I have always been like this… You know what I hate and love” I asked her with a frown.
“But you weren't like this with Bella, you treated her so gently and pampered her” she complained with an aggrieved expression.
“I did all that because that's what the contract required…Weren't you okay with everything before? I also helped your family out, thanks to the benefits from the contract” I replied to her with a frown.
I couldn't understand why she was being so unreasonable.. Bella was never like this.
I got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. As soon as I stepped in, the scent of Bella's strawberry shower gel wafted into my nose.
I picked up the shower gel and tossed it into the trashcan, the servants must have forgotten to dispose of it.
I stood under the shower and replayed the events of the night. When I remembered how the Ricci family were willing to frame Bella, I realized that nothing else matters in the face of benefits and power.
I only care about my sister, every other person is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw that Haley was gone and I sighed in relief.
The last thing I need right now is a spoiled princess giving me unnecessary headaches.
Ring Ring!
I looked at my phone and saw that it was Mr Ricci calling,so I immediately picked up.
“I have handed her the passport and flight ticket… You can take care of the rest” he hung up as soon as he finished what he was saying and I laughed.
The lengths people go for power is frightening and inhumane.
I crave power desperately but not to the point of harming my own family, this old man has always amazed me with his ruthlessness.
I immediately dialed a number and the person picked up on the second ring.
“Hello, make sure it is clean… Use the best bomb in your possession” I instructed calmly.
He knows the consequences of failing a task, so I didn't need to say much again.
I got into the bed to finally sleep peacefully after three years of acting as the perfect and loving husband.
“Bella please calm down, drop the gun” I begged as she rushed towards me with her eyes filled with anger.
“How did I ever offend you? I loved you so much but you were only using me all these years!” she screamed as her hands tightened on the trigger.
“Your father was the one who approached me for a contract. Why don't you go find him instead?!” I asked her angrily while trying to get an opportunity to collect the gun.
“Don't worry, they will all meet you in hell soon” she said with a sinister smile before pulling the trigger.
BANG!
I watched as the bullet went straight to my head.
“Brother… Brother, wake up!” Sasha’s voice came to my ear and I opened my eyes.
I realized that it was only a dream but my body was covered in cold sweat.
“It's rare for you to have a nightmare, what did you dream about? ” She asked me with a curious expression and I pushed her face away.
I looked out the window and noticed that everywhere was already bright.
“What time is it?” I asked her.
“ A little past ten” she replied while observing my expression.
“Say whatever is on your mind” I said when I noticed her hesitant expression.
“Haley called me, she was crying and complaining that you treated her badly and got mad at her unnecessarily” she said.
“Is that all? She better get used to it. If it wasn't for her father's position, I wouldn't even look at her” I replied emotionlessly.
Sasha sighed and didn't say anything else.
Knock knock!
“Come in” I said with an authoritative tone and the door was immediately pushed open.
“Boss, there is news about Bella,”Brian, my right hand man, informed me.
“Report” I said calmly.
“She got on the plane and it exploded as planned,” he said with a serious expression.
“Finally! That bitch has gone to hell!” Sasha yelled in excitement and did a little dance.
“That's good, organize a press conference for me. Tell the Riccis to be there as well. It should be at 2PM in the afternoon” I instructed and he immediately left to get it done.
“Why do you need a press conference?” Sasha asked me with a frown.
“I just lost my wife…i have to put on a show for the public and show how much I still loved her despite her cheating” I explained and she laughed.
“I will definitely shed a lot of tears for my precious sister in law” she said amidst laughter.
