Chapter 05

Domenico Fernandes

I'm finally meeting Hannah's daughter, who would say she is much more beautiful than her mother.

Although her hair is black, while Hannah's was blonde, the girl has some aspects of Hannah if she had chosen me for sure this girl would be my daughter today, it's not that bastard Alexsandro who stole from me the woman I loved seduced Hannah, even knowing that I was completely in love with her, is still my friend and my right hand man.

But this girl here in front of me is much prettier than her, her beauty is the envy of the other women in this salon.

Karen looks kind of awkward as we dance I notice that her eyes don't leave Clark's side, she doesn't seem to be very interested in me, but I can't help but analyze her beautiful body and her beautiful cleavage, she looks very tense so I commented something to break the silent atmosphere between us.

"Is something bothering you, Karen?"

I shoot her a smile as I analyze the expression on her face, then she responds.

"It's those damn high shoes!"

I do not like it.

My legs are hurting, I don't like to be dressed like that... I feel like these women are shooting me for getting attention from the big father.

Karen gives me an awkward smile, while she smiles back so I laugh back.

"You, the first woman I know who doesn't mind having all that luxury!"

"I must be a man then!"

Yeah, I can't stand those fancy dresses, and expensive, fine shoes!

And for what?

All this makeup for heavens it bothers me I'm sorry Domenico!

But I need to sit down, my feet are killing me... — without thinking twice she lets go of me and goes to sit at one of the tables, where Clark is with a woman I'm glad the music stopped if it wouldn't be very embarrassing everyone looking at me be dismissed like that.

I walk to the table and sit with them I see Karen look at the woman who is with Clark at the table, her face is hard the woman even backs away from being so embarrassed by the cold look she gives her, I hear the two of them start to argue quietly.

- Serious!

Did Karen need to look at her like that?

- Clark looks at her sternly as he speaks later his own retort confessing.

"Of course it did, I'm not in the mood to see her drop her panties here for you!"

And the two of them have sex in front of me.

- By God you are crazy Karen!

Did you think I would do this here?

Seriously in front of everyone!

Don't judge that it's a little too much, no?

“I know that wouldn't be here!

But there are restrooms, etc... - She rolls her eyes and Clark gets up from the table and answers.

— I'm going to have a drink to try to digest this, excuse me.

I see him turn his back on her, who clutches her glass with hatred, still watching him.

I realize this is not just teacher and student Clark didn't obey my orders and touched Karen and a bastard, I'll have a talk with him!

Even if he didn't say he didn't want her as I do at that moment.

She's way prettier than Hannah should have been raising this girl with me and not leaving it in Clark's hands, I take a little more of my drink and comment calmly looking.

- Are you better?

She looks at me and frowns, not understanding.

'I'm better than what?'

Karen looks at me seriously, I take another sip of my drink and answer.

— your feet!

Are they still hurting a lot?

She grabs a glass of wine and drinks it then confesses.

- I will survive!

These blisters are nothing compared to what I've been through in my life... I want to excuse you, I need to go to the bathroom!

Karen stands up straightening her dress I'm starting to realize she's been avoiding me.

"Of course, be my dear!

I flash her a smile as she walks away complaining about the shoe hurting her foot.

This girl is so beautiful that I can't stop looking I want her for myself and I'm going to have her there I need to find a way to get Clark out of my way, I've never wanted a woman as much as this!

She looks like an angel with that white skin and those green eyes, then I see Karen come back and sit down next to me she looks bored with this whole event, really other women like her are more concerned with finding a rich husband.

I take courage and ask.

"Karen, don't you want to go for a walk in the Garden?"

I feel like you're suffocating in here.

She looks at me with some relief and says with a sigh.

- Would be great!

I need fresh air...

I run my hands through my hair and I respond by holding out my hand.

- So let's go!

- I take her hand and we walk outside, it's a little cold and I see Karen shiver and hug her arms I take my coat off and put it on her shoulder, she looks at me with those beautiful green eyes that have mesmerized me so much since I saw her, I'm with an immense desire to kiss her at that moment.

- Thanks!

It's cold and this damn dress doesn't help much. I can't wait to take this crap off and put on something comfortable!

Karen snaps me out of my trance by saying those words and I compose myself by commenting.

"That this... It would be cruel of me not to do that!"

Lack of chivalry.

She turns her head and then looks up and then sideways.

— This garden is so beautiful!

Wow, I'm better now...

I just watch her remember how Karen was 16 years ago just a skinny, scared girl who cried compulsively.

- Yea!

And very beautiful but not as beautiful as you.

- I see her blush and look at me as I approach my hand touching her face karen look at me seriously as I watch those full lips, so attractive she has such a beautiful mouth that I'm dying to kiss when I mention doing it herself pulls away and comments without way.

- Please!

I really can't Domenico... We'd better go back inside!

She hands me my jacket and hurries off.

I run my hands through my hair and punch the air angrily as hell!

I really don't have any luck with the women I want, but not this time Karen, it will be mine it's just a matter of time, I won't make the same mistake twice!

I have to take Clark out of the picture, just so she'll look at me with different eyes, I take a deep breath and put my jacket on, soon the competitions will start I need to get myself together I'm the great father I can't let something like that shake me.

I think to myself "Ah! Karen Bass, it's still going to be mine" I walk into the salon again and talk to some assholes who want to join the organization but my gaze doesn't leave this black-haired woman.

Suddenly a memory popped into my head.

'Flash' back on

After Hannah and Alexsandro announced to the organization that they were getting married I felt like Alexsandro was pushing a dagger in my back, when he did this to me I hated the unfortunate being my friend and betrayed me like that motherfucker and Hannah that slut always rolling me up sane two damn, after that love announcement I decided to withdraw and go to the office I needed to drink to kill the demon that was destroying me inside I was annihilated.

I would never have imagined that this would happen so soon to me, the almighty father, I hit the wall so hard that my hand starts to bleed I can't control the hatred I feel, more to make things worse Alexsandro still decided to come talk to me, she's a daughter from the fucking bitch.

- Why are you here?

Did you come to rub your happiness in my face Alexsandro?

— I'm ironic, even the anger is so much that I don't even know how to hide how I'm feeling.

— Domenico, I didn't want things to be like this... Hannah and I are in love, it happens!

You know I have you as a friend.

- Know!

Alexsandro, you are much worse than I thought, I knew that I always loved Hannah even though she betrayed me like Judas betrayed Jesus, your ridiculous and false while I confessed my suffering you had fun laughing at my face together - he sighs running his hand on his face sadly.

"Man, things aren't like that!"

You need to understand that you can't force anyone to love you.

Hannah doesn't love you if it wasn't for me I would be someone else...

I cross the table in a rage and punch him and comment disgustingly.

"You two will pay me for the suffering I'm going through!"

Now get out of my office you shit hood, I don't want you working for me anymore, you traitor and know that I will take revenge on both of you.

Wait for me, no one will laugh in my face and come out unscathed...'

Flash' back off__

That same day I kicked Alexsandro out of the organization and told him that bitch hannah hide well why would I hunt them like two mice, until I found them and that's what I did I had my revenge and I don't regret what I did, In no time, I take another sip of wine and think: Hannah, you left me quite a gift to amuse myself." Karen Bass will still be mine...

A beautiful woman caught people's attention with a microphone in her hand announcing that the deadly games will begin and that each candidate presents himself to the tournament hall and waits for the draws of her name to fight with his opponent.

I go to my private cabin where only the strongest members of this organization are privileged and tell one of my security guards to warn Clark that I want his presence on my side, I enter and sit on my little throne waiting for the bloody battle for life to begin, I watch Clark give the instructions to Karen who nods her head and then comes towards me sitting next to me, while keeping her eyes fixed on the girl so I scoff.

— Clark Lewis!

Do you seem nervous about losing your pet?

I arch my brow as he looks at me commenting.

— No, Domenico... On the contrary, I'm really worried about who will face Karen!

And you think she's so fragile and weak and that's what some people are wrong about!

Barely knowing what this creature is capable of…" He looked at me with a mocking smile.

So I retort looking at Karen.

- I do not know!

If she makes it past the first round, she will be very lucky, the contestants are cold-blooded assassins.

Clark looks at me with a defiant smile and speaks ironically.

"Don't underestimate me, Domenico!"

Who trained Karen for these 16 years was me and I know what I'm saying, no wonder she's in the top one, elite class assassin karen is my best to create my best weapon to kill..." he says this with certainty pride as I just turn my attention to the hall.

Looking at some elite soldiers, analyzing that some seem distressed and nervous, Karen seems so calm with her gray green eyes just glazed over the screen above waiting for her name to appear and what is my surprise when her name and that of her opponent appears on the screen .

Karen bass xxx Lucia Cortez

She just stares at her opponent with a mocking smile while the other rolls her eyes" hear that this Lucia is one of the best and much older than karen I'm pretty sure she's going to massacre this girl, so my attention turns to Clark who still concentrated in the salon and looking at Karen talking.

— I pity that woman for taking my Karen so soon, poor thing not even knowing what to expect!

He speaks in a smug way as if he knows she's going to win.

It's still confessing to my face, my Karen I knew there was this son of a bitch is really having some relationship with her but I'll decide later because now I just want to watch this box fight and see the massacre begin.
