Chapter 5 Kassandra's true intention

Kassandra's POV

I was abducted, and they shut me off in a certain room. I sighed and took a seat on the bed. I look out the window. It has railings, and I can't fit even if I tried.

I'm on the second floor, but I knew it was high, and even if I jump, I might fracture my bones. I lie down and look at the ceiling.

"I was right... My stepsister, her mother, and even my ex betrayed me. Dad must have known this, but as usual, he turned a blind eye. He only believes his beloved woman's words and that bitch." I turned around and saw a familiar face. I grabbed the picture frame and saw a serene face-that of Kayla.

"She must have used this when Gabriel kidnapped her. Her expressions here... wait a second," I murmured.

I put the frame back and made it face the wall. I touched the cheeks that were red. That was taken while she was having an orgasm!

'That man had an odd hobby. I wonder if it was taken when Gabriel and Kayla were having sex. But her expression suggests she's having fun.'

I shook my head and forgot what I saw. While I was in the hospital, I saw a different side of Kayla. No, them. They remind me of those cherubs. That's when I started to feel bad for stopping Gabriel from doing what he wanted to do on their wedding day.

"And because of being nosy, I am now in this mess. My gosh, Kassandra. You are already a mess, and you add more."

I got up and walked onto the intercom. I'm curious if it was linked to all of the intercoms in the mansion. I decided to pinch the button and wait for someone to answer my call.

"Hello? What is it?" the nanny inquires.

She looks kind but strict. Maybe because she's living in the mansion of a mafia boss.

"Hi, I'm sorry for disturbing your work. I want to ask a favor. Can I have junk food here? Like chips, cookies, chocolates, soda, ice cream, and... books? Maybe business books or novels. as long as it helps me kill time. I would appreciate your help."

"No problem. Wait for it," she replied. My jaw drops.

"Really? All the food, I ask?" I repeated.

She sighed on the other line. She drops the call, and I just do the same thing. After 10 minutes, the door opened, and three maids came in. I notice they are holding a tray while his nanny is holding the books.

She instructed them to put those things on the table. She also put down the books and told the maids to leave first.

"Just use the intercom for anything that you want to have, Ms. Kassandra. Make sure that you won't try to escape if you value your life," she says.

I grab the bonus apple that she put on the tray. I take a bite and wish that it was poisoned.

"I am not an evil witch who will put poison in an apple."

"Oh, is it obvious? Also, too bad. I don't value my life, nanny, under that boss. But, in any case, thanks for these," I said.

She simply nods and walks away. I hear the locks click as soon as the door closes. I take a look at the first book. It's a love story. I laugh when I get what she wants from me.

"She even picks a mafia-themed romance. Is she telling me to accept my fate and just sign those papers?" I mumbled.

I read the synopsis of the story, and it caught my attention. I opened a bag of chips and started reading the story. It was an 18+, and as I go further, you can see erotica scenes. I grab the ice cream and taste it.

I almost spit it out when the term being used for cum/sperm was 'melted ice cream.' I grab a tissue and wipe my lips. I should've eaten this before their first sex happened.

I close the book after I put the bookmark in. I grabbed the ice cream and went to the window. I saw the beautiful garden in the front yard from this place.

What he wants is beneficial for me. I can live the same luxurious life again. I can help Trinidad cross that bridge. But something stops me from saying yes.

"I just want one single reason to agree to marry him. I wonder if he can treat me like a lady. Even if he wants me for sex, I don't care, but this time. I wished to be treated like a queen."

After eating the ice cream, I went back to the couch and continued reading the book. I will kill the time, but I'll make sure to watch over him. I want to see how he treated his servants in this mansion.

How hot-tempered he is and his level of craziness. After a couple of hours, someone knocks on the door and enters. It was his nanny. She must have bought something for me to eat.

"I bought this so much because you didn't request anything for lunch. By the way, just tell me when you need anything."

"Wait, can I ask something? Is your boss a little psycho? I mean, did he have any mental disorders, such as split personality, bipolar disorder, depression, or anything else?" I ask. His nanny's face changes to a type of expression that tells me the answer.

"Please, I need an honest answer. He won't let go of me anyway. So please assist me and be truthful with me. Can you tell me if he had any mental issues so that I know how to handle his anger and other actions when that happens?" I ask.

She sighed and sat down. I know she is a caring woman, like a second mom to him, and she's also concerned about his life. I just want to know if I have to deal with his mental tantrums, and that must be the reason why he's short-tempered, plus he's beastly because he is a mafia boss as well.

"It's because of the trauma he gets from his abusive grandfather, who also had a split personality disorder. He had two personalities. A mafia boss and a businessman. That is why they're billionaires-because of the two jobs that his grandfather had. His mafia personality is strict and trains him to death. He wants him to be a ruthless, powerful, and dangerous boss."

"The businessman's personality is that of a drug abuser who betrayed Gabriel. He sends a message to the other group of mafias, and Gabriel's mission fails and almost kills him. He was in a coma for a few weeks, and when he awoke, his personality changed for the worse. He became more suspicious, cautious, and sociopath-like. He is then diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder by the doctor. When his grandfather died, he became worse, and you already see it yourself," she added. I see...

"Thank you, Mrs. Reese. Don't worry, he wouldn't know. Thanks for the food," I remark.

She smiled and left right away. I'm pretty sure he didn't leave any bugging devices or even a camera to spy on me. A part of him knew that I wouldn't run away.

I look at the chocolate in front of me. I think he really wanted to pull any string just to convince me that I could be his queen. After learning about his life, I recalled the times when I suffered as a result of my father's second family.

The feeling of being alone, sad, beaten, scared, tired, and hopeless The people who should have protected you betrayed you instead. There is one thing of which I'm sure.

I am just like him. We have the same upbringing when it comes to family issues. But is that enough? I think that is not a good enough reason for me to accept his offer. I must stick to my plan.

I need to know if she is someone with whom I can gamble. I've had enough of trusting people, and in the end, I'll be left alone and sad. I resumed reading the book that I had just finished. I wonder if he's busy planning how to convince me.

I was startled when the door opened and felt that heavy aura coming from it. When I turned around, it was him. I went back to slouching while lying on the couch. Even if I push him away, he won't leave this room. He is, after all, the owner.

"I never thought you loved reading such dark erotic romances, Kassandra. You're quite bold yourself. Why is that? Are you gathering information about positions in sex?" he asks. I just rolled my eyes, and I know he saw that. What a buzzkill!

"I bought these famous chocolates. It's quite hard to buy, but I hope you will like it," he says.

He put it down, and my jaw dropped. This is a famous chocolate that I saw swirling around the internet lately. I glared at him. But it's not just chocolate!

"What? A certain woman advises me. Don't tell me it's poisoned."
