Adriana

"It's the master.. Noah Massarotti"

Noah Massarotti.. I've heard his name before

Where where where

Oh fuck

The party

memories hit me hard and my eyes widened in fear

I'm doomed

"PAOLO IM SO DEAD, I MIGHT AS WELL JUST JUMP IN THE SEA AND HIDE, BECAUSE I CAN ASSURE YOU HE'LL CUT ME IN PIECES AND THROW ME FOR THE SHARKS" I screamed and was ready to jump in the water when he spoke again

"Huh?! Okay maybe i over exaggerated about you being doomed, he won't kill you but he hates intruders" he said

Oh he doesn't get it..

"Paolo.. You don't understand..

I know him.

I fought with him.

I disrespected him.

He threatened me."

"What the hell??? How? When? What did he say? Oh my gosh you disrespected him and you're still alive??" He exclaimed and I wanted to stab myself, the helicopter was getting closer and closer, i don't have time to explain!!

"PAOLO! He's almost here.. I need to hide now, I don't have time!"

"Ugh no, stop, I'll help you hide but definitely not in the sea.. Let's gooo" he said and started the boat

It was too late though..

We were now racing with the helicopter, it was right above us now..

Oh Lord, I know you're there, I know you protected me so I survived that night, HELP ME SURVIVE NOW

More minutes passed

The helicopter landed

This is it.. You die today

Worst part is .. I didn't get the chance to eat all the food in the world

And I'll die while I'm on an empty stomach!

Wonderful.. A wonderful time for my jokes

"Look, you're very beautiful maybe he won't kill you.." Paolo tried to comfort me but from his looks, he's the one that needs comfort

"It's okay.. I'm fine.. But thanks" I said giving him an assuring look

Truth is.. I'm not at all

We were a few inches away.. I saw people were exiting the helicopter .. But he wasn't in my view

Maybe, I'm lucky and he's not here.. He got caught up with work or a girl.. Maybe

We finally reached the shore and Paolo instantly jumped out of the boat, the people saw us, well mostly their eyes were fixed on Paolo.. They didn't notice me

He ran towards them and they started screaming stuff at each other and hugging one another

"Adam I missed you!" I heard Paolo yell at a guy

When they were done hugging, suddenly the whole attention was on me.

Haha this is so not awkward!

"H-hi" I whispered

I heard a wolf whistle, and one of the guys I guess the Adam dude started speaking to Paolo but his eyes were on me

"Damn Paolo, where did you get her from?" He licked his lips and approached me

He was a few inches away when he spoke

"Hey baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

"No, I'm satan but it did hurt when I died 1500 years ago just like that pick-up line" I said sarcastically and he looked offended

Everyone started laughing, but they stopped all in the sudden

Their eyes weren't fixed on me anymore, but on something behind me..

I heard a clap and jumped back in surprise

I was too terrified of looking behind me, I knew exactly who it was..

Maybe if you don't show him that you're scared he won't do anything

That thought boosted some confidence and power in me, so I turned around and came face to face with him.

His eyes bore through me, his stare was intimidating enough.. But he had to speak

"Ah, I knew I recognized that sarcastic mouth.." He smirked and stepped forward, I intuitively took a step back

"Adriana Lockwood.. What brings you to my territory? Looking for your dead mother perhaps?" He spoke harshly and my heart ached

My mother is dead?!!

Oh my.. God

My eyes teared up, his smirk grew even wider

"Everybody scram.. Leave the two of us alone" he ordered strictly and they all started moving away quickly

"You thought you could hide here? Bitch please I have radars everywhere, I know everything that happens on this island." His voice was husky and low

"I'm not hiding here. I suppose you know what happened to your father's yacht.. I didn't choose to be thrown here by the ocean waves, hell didn't even know it's your territory" I said and it was my turn to smirk

"Oh bubblehead, your mouth can do wonders, but it can get you killed" he now stepped closer and held my wrist to keep me in my place

"Yes, darling I know what happened to my father's yacht, he died, I now own everything he ever owned, but you know what's ironic, funny and sad at the same time?" He asked and his grip tightened

He was waiting for an answer

"Oh please enlighten me, what is?" I rolled my eyes

ADRIANA BEHAVE

"Oh laugh and joke all you want.. I don't give a single fuck, you know why? Because I'm not the person whose mother hates too much that she left him nothing in her will, not the person whose mother wrote that everything she has goes to her pets, heck even her maids & butlers.. But none, nothing for her own flesh & blood" he said with sarcasm lacing every spoken word

My heart dropped.. He's lying

Mom hates me but she wouldn't leave me with nothing..

"Liar"

"what?" He snapped

"You're a L I A R" I snapped back

"Aw you still want to believe that your mom likes you.. Well please help me crush and erase every bit of cynic you have about this.. With.." He said and then let go of my arm, as he put his hand in the inner pocket of his jacket taking out a paper, he handed it to me and I took it with shaky hands

I opened it, and started reading

As if my life wasn't terrible enough.. My world had to come crashing down even more

It's true.. He wasn't lying

She even wrote that whoever ends up to be her last boyfriend owns her company

Oh Ernesto

I won't lie though, I had a bit more faith that it wouldn't be true but then I saw her signature .. That twisted signature that can't be doodled by Picasso himself

"Little Ri, my heart is aching for you, so I'll be your saviour" he said sounding really serious, but when I looked at him he burst out laughing

"Fuck you" I spat and all the playfulness in his tone disappeared and his eyes turned black, within a second his hand was hugging my neck

"Adriana, disrespect me one more time and I swear to God you'll be tortured to death" he whispered in my ear

I tried removing his hand when I couldn't breathe anymore, he finally let go, dropping me on the ground

I started coughing uncontrollably, I can't believe how I'm being treated

No human being should be treated like this

Just because now I'm poor he thinks he's much more powerful than me?

"I won't be leaving you on this island" he said and I kept staring at the ground

He kneeled down and put his fingers under my chin, lifting my head until my eyes met his

"I have a job offer for you" he said and I looked at him doubtfully

"What job?"

"You can be my maid" he said so seriously that I couldn't help but burst out laughing

"Hahahahahahahaha, yea right"

Me as a maid????

Lolololoooooool

I can't cook

I can't clean

I can't style hair

But I'm very good at styling clothes..

I work with my mom and I had just one more year in university and I would've graduated but that's over now

The only good thing I ever learned from my mom is styling..

"Does it look like I'm joking?" This man has anger issues, he gets so furious within a matter of seconds

"Noah, you do realise that I was a millionaire, I can't be a maid. I'd rather staying here"

"You think I'll leave you here? Hahaha, I'll either drop you on an island all alone, or you could accept my job offer, hurry the fuck up, i have important things to return to" he said then lifted me up with him

So he was serious..

But why.. Why me?

Why this specific job?

Why him..

"I'm going to ask you for one last time. Adriana Lockwood I'm giving you the chance to choose. Want to be my maid or do you want to stay on a island to rot and die?"

Pfttttt he's talking as if he's giving me any other choice than being his maid

"It's like you're saying, be my maid or die." I replied and he gave me a pointed look

"That was your last chance. rot & Die it is. Follow me" he ordered and started moving towards the helicopter but I didn't move a muscle

He must've realized that because he spoke without even turning around

"I.said.move"

"Noah" I whispered and this time he turned around

"What do you want?!"

"Fine.. I'll be your maid. But don't expect anything good from my work" I said and saw his smirk

"Don't worry.. I have a specific job for you.. And you're perfect for it" he winked

Yeah.. I think I just made the worst decision of my life

Something about the look he gave me.. The look that had slight lust playing in his eyes made me feel sick to my stomach

Oh god
