Engaged To Two Billionaires

Eighteen Years Ago.

Clack* Clack* Clack*

Aurora's eyes flapped open immediately she heard his footsteps clacking on the hard floor, her lips quivered, and her hands that were tied up at the back of the seat she's hunched on trembled.

Just the sight of him scared the little breath she had in her throat out.

She's scared!

Will he continue with his punishment again?

Hasn't he had enough?

Oh! She wishes Enzo is in town; at least her husband would save her from this power-thirst man.

The footsteps kept creaking on the floor until it stopped right in front of her.

She craned her head up and ogled at his horrible face. His eye patch was hitched up on his forehead, and she could see his lifeless eye.

Domenico Black has been a thorn in their flesh.

'My poor Zeta!' Aurora cried inside her as thoughts about Zeta flashed through her mind.

She was abducted on her way to the grocery store by Black's men. 'How would she be feeling now? Is she safe?' She questioned herself.

However, the ear-splitting laughter of Black cut through her thoughts. She looked back at him and wondered what was funny.

"Mrs. Moretti! Nice to have you here!" He squealed happily, making Aurora shudder.

"What do you want? Tell me? Why did you abduct me when you know my husband's not in town?" She bemoaned.

"Hahaha..." Black laughed out. He pinched her chin, looking her dead in the eyes.

"Look! A whole Mrs. Moretti is scared of me. Oh my...my." a fiendish laughter left Black's lips.

"Enzo knows what I want. And I will stop at nothing until I attain my desires. But...tsk...tsk...you obstinate husband doesn't want to acquiesce to my demands and don't blame me if anything happens. Aurora."

"No...no...please, don't do this please. Have mercy." She shivered the moment he saw him clamping a knife. "Don't please, Black. Have mercy!"

She knows Black is deadly. She knows he won't spare her even if she cries her throat out. He won't.

"Well, there's one word that doesn't fit in my dictionary and that's mercy!!!" Black howled and immediately lacerated Aurora's face.

Blood gushed out, and she screamed at the top of her voice.

However, the room is downright soundproof, so no one could hear her.

Her hands were shaky and sweaty as he trailed behind her and cut the rope she was tied with.

"Before I finish up with you, Mrs. Moretti, I'd like to have a little fun." His eyes flickered with delight as he spat this, but Aurora dreaded what he'd do.

"Black...please!" She straightened on her knees, hands clasped together as she pleaded for mercy.

But Black is one man consumed by darkness and hatred. Once he wants something, he'll work for it until the end.

Just then, his men trailed into the room and huddled Aurora on the floor as Black made his way with her.

Aurora couldn't endure the pains dripping from her body as she curled up in a heap around the corner afterward.

She heard Black speaking over the phone moments later and from the familiarity of the voice, she knew it was her husband, Enzo.

"I've one last surprise for you, Enzo." Black squeaked, and before long, he pulled the trigger on Aurora's head.

Her blood curtained the floor.

Years later.

Zeta graduated from high school, and the best way Enzo could keep her safe from the claws of his foes is by sending her to Singapore under the guise of furthering her education.

"But dad, I'll miss you a lot," Zeta said as her father clamped her in a tight hug.

"Don't worry Zeta. I want you to further your education in Singapore and join me in the business world, it's what you always wanted right?"

Zeta nodded, "yes, I can't wait to join you dad." She beamed.

'It's better I take you out of the country for your safety. I've to protect you.' Enzo mused inwardly.

"And baby girl, endeavor to take care of yourself while you're there. Hear me?" Rosa, butt in.

Hearing her words, Zeta smiled. Sure, I'll, aunt. I will." She pulled Rosa in an embrace.

Afterward, they trailed to the apron where Zeta entered the flight, bidding them goodbye.

Vsst. Vsst. Vsst.

Enzo's phone buzzed; picking it up, he saw his name flash on the screen.

"You think you could beat me on this game Enzo?" His voice, as cold as the night, resonated in Enzo's ears.

"Black." Enzo called.

"Worry not. I'll back soon! We ain't done with this business Enzo Moretti!" Black growled and hung down the call.
