BECOMING HIS PLAYTHING : CHAPTER 31 – 40

(YOUR LIP IS SO RED)
Harmony hesitated, her hand hovering over the phone as she debated whether to call the clan doctor. Alessandro’s injuries were severe, and he needed medical attention ASAP. But something held her back. She remembered how he had kept his wounds hidden from the rest of the clan, always taking care of himself. Maybe he wanted to keep this a secret too.
With a newfound determination, Harmony searched the room and found a stash of medical tools. She was lucky; Alessandro always prepared for the worst. She got to work, carefully removing the bullets from his body, including the one on his shoulder. Her hands trembled, but she focused on the task at hand.
As she treated and bandaged each wound, Harmony couldn’t help but wonder why Alessandro had kept this from everyone. Did he trust her more than the others? The thought sent a warmth through her chest.
After cleaning his body, Harmony gently laid Alessandro on the bed. His fever raged on, and she knew she had to act fast. She soaked a towel in warm water, wrung it out, and placed it on his forehead. The warmth seemed counterintuitive, but she remembered a trick her mother had taught her – that warm compresses can sometimes help reduce fever.
As the towel cooled, Harmony replaced it with a new one, repeating the process throughout the night. She watched as Alessandro’s body slowly began to respond, his temperature gradually decreasing. She continued to tend to him, her focus solely on his recovery.
The night wore on, and Harmony’s devotion never wavered. She stayed by Alessandro’s side, her hands moving gently as she cared for him. The warmth of the towels seemed to seep into his skin, and his body slowly began to relax, the fever finally starting to break. She watches as he keeps groaning, tears escaping his eyes.
“Mum, dad, Xander, I am so sorry, I am so sorry for being a coward, I just watch while doing nothing, I am a coward” he muttered from his sleep. She was surprise to see tears escaping his eyes.
“Is he really crying? The almighty Vernon crying?” She was feeling a lot of pity for him. Maybe something bad might have happened to his family, maybe Alexander was his little brother that she saw his picture in his painting room, those people might be his parents too.
“Are they dead?” She couldn’t help but wonder, she has many questions but didn’t have any answer, she was feeling so much pity for him that she almost cry too. She pull her self together and clean her tears.
As the hours passed, Harmony’s actions became a soothing rhythm – warm towel, cool, replace, repeat. Alessandro’s face, etched with pain, slowly began to calm, his breathing steadying. Harmony’s heart raced with every twitch and groan, but she remained steadfast, her eyes fixed on the man before her.

Harmony sighed in relief after feeling Alessandro’s temperature. She was glad that his fever was finally gone. She had stayed up all night taking care of him, and he had experienced terrible nightmares, crying out in his sleep. She wished she could take all his pain away. Although this man was everything but good to her, she still couldn’t hate him. Her mind kept telling her he was just suffering and needed someone close.
She covered him well with the blanket, as he was still asleep, and started cleaning the whole room since she had nothing else to do. She was surprised that he was still asleep after she finished cleaning. She decided to make something delicious for him and went into the kitchen. Soon, she was done and arranged all the food on the dining table.
Getting back to the room, he was already awake and trying to stand up but couldn’t because both his hands were weak. She quickly ran to him and helped him up, and he let out a painful groan as they stood up. His face contorted in agony.
“You should brush and maybe have your bath, I have prepared something for you,” she said, her eyes filled with concern. She was expecting him to yell at her, but he didn’t. Instead, he looked at her with a hint of gratitude. She supported him to the bathroom, and he tried to use the toothbrush but couldn’t because of his bandaged hand. He looked frustrated. She finally collected the toothbrush for him and looked at him for permission. He nodded his head gently, and she helped him brush his teeth. Her hands moved gently, and her face was soft with compassion. She helped him wash his face and clean his back, then led him to the bed and helped him change his shirt. Then, they both went to the dining table together.
“This will help with your wound and fever, my mum always made it for me and my brother whenever we had a fever,” she explained, her eyes sparkling with warmth. He stared at the food for some time before trying to eat but couldn’t use his arm. He threw the spoon down and grunted, his face twisted in frustration.
“I will help if you are okay with that,” she said, her voice gentle. She picked up the spoon since he didn’t say anything. He was so frustrated and embarrassed that she was helping him, and he couldn’t help but wonder why he decided to help her since he wasn’t good to her. She had the opportunity to kill him or even leave him that way, but she still helped him. His eyes narrowed, and his jaw clenched.
Just then, the door alarm sounded. “That will be the maids,” Harmony said and stood up, her movements swift.
“Tell them not to come here for the whole week, you will be in charge of everything,” he said, his voice firm.
“Oh okay…boss,” she said and left, her expression submissive.
She returned a few minutes later and wanted to continue feeding him.
“I am okay now,” he said and stood up with a grunt, his face set in determination. She wanted to help him, but he quickly stopped her.
“I don’t want any guests today, just you,” he said and left for the room, his eyes fixed on her.

Harmony was about to leave the room and meet Hacker waiting outside.
“Why are you here?” She asked
“I am here to see the boss” Hacker said with a cute smile.
“I’m afraid you can’t come in here,” she said firmly.
Hacker looked at her with a persistent glint in his eye. “I have something important to tell him. I must see him.”
Harmony hesitated, but Hacker’s determination was unwavering. He forced himself past her and into the room.
Alessandro, who had been resting on the bed, quickly got up and made his way to the sitting room, trying to hide his weakness. He didn’t want Hacker to suspect anything.
” What brings you here?” Alessandro asked, attempting to sound casual.
Hacker’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Alessandro. “I was worried about you. Are you okay brother?”
Alessandro nodded, trying to appear nonchalant. “Don’t call me that”
Hacker’s gaze lingered on Alessandro’s face before he spoke. “I’ve discovered something. Something big. And I think you should know about it.”
Alessandro’s curiosity was piqued, despite his efforts to remain neutral. “What is it?”
Hacker leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. “I’ll tell you soon. But first, I need to know that you’re okay. Really okay.”
“I am, just tell me why you are here” he snapped annoyingly.

“Since you asked about those people, I know you are interested in them and I really want to offer some help” Hacker said sadly and pressed something on his laptop.
“The Don of Black Mamba, Victor Conti, has a habit of visiting a club every night,” Hacker began, his voice steady.
Alessandro’s expression remained unreadable, but his eyes narrowed slightly. “Go on.”
Hacker smiles before continuing. “He goes to ‘The Red Devil’ club downtown. My contact on the inside says he’s there every night, like clockwork.
“Why are you telling me this?” Alessandro’s eyes narrow.
“I thought you might want to know since you are interested, “ Hacker said.
“You shouldn’t involve yourself in that matter, you can leave now” he said.
“Okay then” Hacker said and left the room. Alessandro smiled coldly. Hacker just made things easy for him, he was going to hunt Conti down and probably get some information from him. He remembers how Hacker called him brother and scoffed.
“That jerk, why wouldn’t he listen to me” he muttered and lay on the bed.

Hardin stood outside Virus’s door, his heart racing with anticipation. He had been wondering about Alessandro’s motives for weeks, and he knew that Virus was the only one who could provide answers.
He took a deep breath and entered the room. Virus looked up from his bed, a hint of surprise on his face.
“Hardin. What brings you here?”
Hardin didn’t waste any time. “Why did Alessandro torture only Harmony? Why not both of us, since Antonio is my father too?”
Virus’s expression turned cold. “Alessandro gave you to me, Hardin. If he hadn’t, you would have suffered the same fate as your sister.”
Hardin’s eyes widened in shock. “What do you mean?”
Virus’s voice was laced with venom. “Alessandro spared you because I owned you, But if he hadn’t, you would have begged for death.”
Hardin felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Suddenly, Virus’s expression changed. “Wait a minute…you’re not…Vegas, are you?”
“No, I’m not Vegas,” he said quickly.
Virus’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not so sure about that,” he said, his voice dripping with skepticism.
“I have to go,” he said abruptly, turning to leave.
Virus’s voice stopped him. “Hardin, wait!”
But Hardin was already gone, Virus let out a smile.

The four of them sat around the table, each with a drink in hand. Stalker, Mauler, Hacker, and Reaper were all laughing and chatting, enjoying each other’s company.
Just as it seemed like the night was going to be a relaxed one, Hardin walked in and joined them. Stalker, always the loudmouth, immediately started talking a mile a minute, dominating the conversation.
Hardin listened for a while, but eventually, he’d had enough. “Stalker, can you please shut up for one second?” he snapped, his voice low and even.
Stalker looked taken aback, but she quickly recovered. “Oh, sorry Hardin. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.”
Hardin shook his head and got up from the table. “I’m out of here,” he said, walking away.
Just as he left, Snake slid into the empty chair. “Can I join you guys?” She asked.
“Yeah you can” Stalker said finally getting over Hardin outburst, she is a little worry.
Just then, Ghost walked in, her eyes scanning the room until they landed on Hacker. But before she could even say a word, Hacker suddenly stood up. “I’m out of here,” he said, quickly downing the rest of his drink and walking away.
Ghost watched him leave with a mixture of surprise and curiosity on her face. “Well, that was sudden,” she said, sitting down in the empty chair. “What’s going on with him?”
Stalker shrugged. “No idea, but he’s been acting weird around you”
Ghost nodded thoughtfully, “I think so too” she said and sipped from her alcohol.

Harmony just finished taking care of Alessandro, he just ate when she left the room, she was glad that he wasn’t hurt like morning anymore. Someone suddenly bumped into her and she went down, her hand peeling.
“Watch where you are going bitch” Sniper yelled angrily, the people around watch in shock since that is the loudest thing they will ever hear from her.
“Sorry” Harmony apologized.
“Whatever” Sniper scoffed and left.
“Wow, I don’t know if your sister can talk like this” Reaper suddenly said.
“Me too,” Stalker said.
“I should probably talk to her,” Mauler said and left.
“Hey Harmony, come on” Ghost call on Harmony who was about to go, she smiled and joined them, they started talking except for Snake who just drank.
“Have a drink” Stalker offered the alcohol to her, she collected it and took a gulp but she started coughing immediately.
“It’s so bitter and it burns my chest” she said and they all laughed.
“This must be your first time drinking alcohol, have more” Ghost offers, she hesitates before drinking it all, they all cheer and clap for her. Soon they are all drunk.
Ghost was the first to stand up, she almost fell but supported herself.
“I am going to my room “ she said and staggered away but instead of going to her room, she went to Hacker’s room, he was playing a game.
Ghost stumbled through the door, her eyes fixed on Hacker with a mixture of accusation and desire. “You’re always avoiding me, Hacker,” she slurred, her voice thick with alcohol.
Hacker looked up from his computer, a hint of surprise on his face. “What are you talking about and why are you here,Ghost?”
Ghost swayed closer, her eyes locked on his. “Don’t play dumb with me, Hacker. I know you’ve been avoiding me. But why?”
Hacker shook his head, his eyes darting away from hers. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Ghost. I’ve just been busy.”
Ghost laughed, a husky sound that sent a shiver down Hacker’s spine. “Busy? You’re always busy when I try to talk to you. But I know the truth.”
She leaned in closer, her breath hot against his ear. “You’re avoiding me because of the kiss, aren’t you?”
“What , no?” he scoffed nervously and watch her coming closer to him.
Hacker’s eyes widened as Ghost’s lips brushed against his. He tried to pull away, but she held him firm, her kiss deepening.
When she finally pulled back, Hacker was shocked. “Ghost, what are you doing?”
Ghost chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Just showing you kissing is nothing, you should stop avoiding me okay” she said drunkenly.
Hacker’s face was red as he quickly got up and ran away, leaving Ghost to chuckle to herself.

Hardin was laying on his bed while still thinking of what Virus told him, his door suddenly opened and a drunk Snake came to him. He stood up and watched in surprise as she started to strip herself until she was left in her pantie and bra. She climbed on his bed and fell asleep.
“What the hell just happened?” He was confused while still staring at her face., He scoffed and went to lay on the couch in his room.

Harmony was supporting herself with the wall as she walk into Alessandro room, she was heavily drunk, she didn’t see him and was going near the bed when she noticed his painting room is a bit open, she staggered toward it and open the door , she smiled when she saw him and went to meet him, he look up from what he was painting with raise eyebrows, she suddenly chuckle and sat down on his lap, she wrap her hand around his cheeks, he was shock by that.
“You look handsome with your calm face today, I wish your jerk side won’t come back again” she said with a cute pout.
“Are you drunk?” He asked slightly.
“Of course not” she chuckled and stare at his lip, she gulped a saliva and smiled.
“Your lip is so tempting, it makes me want to kiss you,” she said and started leaning in closer.
