Bleeding Love

Chapter 47

Sophia

It's been three months now after Damon punished Marc. He took my revenge. He became my executioner and doled out the punishments I declare for him and gave me justice.

Don allowed Chuck to payback his portion of debt when he starts his career. Though he couldn't let Chuck to be truly free he still allowed him to complete his highschool. No one knows how he keeps his tabs on him but we all know he does. I know Chuck has understood what Don meant to me he also accepted him. Even though they have a nice relationship I know Chuck still hadn't earned Don's 100% trust hence he has his eyes on him. I don't have any issues though I know this way Chuck will be saved. He will protect Chuck.

Don even took all our properties back from Marc's people. They joined Don's own cartel. Marc was anyway already an associate of Don's cartel so it was only obvious that they joined too.

I already wanted to give all my share to Chuck. I had everything with Don with me. This will secure Chuck's future but Don said it's better if we wait to tell this to Chuck. So that he do not loose his motivation to prove himself and I agree with him. But today Chuck is here. We all are busy in this commotion going on known as Caprice's birthday.

I just came out of shower and I am standing here looking at my reflection reminding its not candies and unicorns since then. No matter how much I love him or he loves me, he always breaks me apart and the worst thing is he put the broken pieces back together again to break me again and again and again. The mark on my left collar bone, I am looking at proves this. It is not a bruise that will heel in time. It is his ownership on me. It will be there always. I brushed my fingers along with it remembering how I got it.

It was two weeks before today, it was a bright sunny day and we all our exploring the pool. From all I meant Alysia, Caprice, Chuck, Ric, Enzo and I. I came to know Chuck and Enzo were good friends.

Ric and I had also sorted ourselves. He apologized to me for considering me a gold digger and whore. I don't call him Sir anymore. He said family don't need formalities. He is Ric and I am his Cinderella again. Its good to see him all lighten up. He and Enzo make me laugh. Well at least he, I don't know about Enzo now after what happened that day at the pool.

Ric, Caprice both were in the pool with Alysia and Julio too. Julio had his shift off and he jumped at the opportunity of seeing Alysia in bathing suit and why wouldn't he, Alysia was looking so sexy in her orange ruffle swimsuit. Chuck was stealing glances at her. Though knowing about Julio, he never tried to hit on Alysia but I could see his admiration for her.

Even after trying hard Caprice couldn't convince her to go with bikini swimsuit. Alysia do not need that too her swimsuit was just doing justice with her body in the perfect sense. However, Caprice herself she was hotness personified. She was wearing a purple bandeau swimsuit which just added another level to her sexy self and even if there was anything missing her hot make out session with Ric in the pool completed it earning whistles from Enzo and to my surprise Chuck . wow he has really grown up. I thought to myself sitting at the edge of the pool. I am the only one not in a bathing suit, I was wearing an off shoulder black crop top with ruffle sleeves which just ends at my belly paired with tribal print shorts. Being the only one who can't swim, I was just enjoying the sun with my legs dipped in cold water of the pool where our couples were splashing and playing with each other. Chuck and Enzo too given it a rest after swimming for a while. They were robbing Don's drinks collection to make cocktails. They were lounging and drinking and what they call sunbathing. Don wasn't here, he was out to take care of some 'business'.

"Charles, bud help a brother out with sunscreen, will ya?" Enzo said throwing a sunscreen bottle at Chuck which he catches and threw it back at him saying "What am I, your bitch?" The bottle fell at the foot of his lounger. "Really now a brother can't help another, what world have we came in?" Enzo said dramatically earning a scoff from Chuck who was busy drinking. I thought of telling him to slow down its just noon but decided against going all mommy on him that too in front of his gangster friends.
