The Billionaire’s Regret -Alessa (by Bukolami) novel Chapter 96

“Use your words,” he ordered but it was gentle.

“No,” she muttered and he nodded.

“I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking you were mad at me.”

“No, I’m not mad,” Alessa replied.

“How are they?” he asked, referring to twins.

“They are fine, they handled it well,” she replied.

He nodded in response and broke their stare, his eyes moved to her neck then he trailed them down to her chest.

Alessa’s heart raced in fear and excitement.

“I missed you, do you know that?” he asked as he moved his head closer to her, he closed his eyes and inhaled her fragrance.

“Yeah, I know,” Alessa muttered in response.

“Should we play a little game, Cara?” he asked and stared at her eyes again.

“What? Our game? Yes, we can play.” Alessa replied. His expression changed a little and Alessa could tell what was next.

He looked proud, proud of her which made her happy a little.

“Are you ready?” he asked.

“Yes, master,” Alessa whispered in response and leaned closer to him. She kissed his lips a little and Damien reciprocated for a few seconds before pulling away.

“Get up and strip,” he ordered.

SIX YEARS AGO

The day of the next trial came so fast. The students were prepared and ready but no matter how prepared they were, they wouldn't be ready for what Madam Olga had in store for them.

They trained, learned, and slept well for the trial.

Without telling them they knew the punishment for a failed trial is death.

It was finally time and Alessa headed out of the dorm with the rest of the ladies.

“No,” she replied in fear.

“Shit.” Alessa cursed and decided to ask more students. She asked about three others and realized their guns weren't loaded but some were.

While Alessa was still trying to figure out what was going on, Stacey showed up and grabbed her arm. She pulled her away from the other students.

“I think there is some kind of mistake here. Our guns aren't loaded.” Alessa said.

“It's not a mistake,” Stacey whispered and looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them.

“Listen, you need to be careful, okay? I don't know what Madam Olga is up to but she wants over half of you dead. Only ten students’ guns among sixty of you are loaded and those loaded guns are with Aliyah, Lily, and her friends. I am sure of it because I loaded the guns myself.”

“What?”

“I don't know what the trail is but with what I am seeing, you all will go against each other. Thirty of you are supposed to move on to the next rank but Madam Olga only wants twenty. No matter what, you need to avoid Lily and her friends till the time runs out.” Stacey explained and Alessa’s heart raced in fear.

Alessa found it odd, Stacey was telling her this, was against the rules and why were the loaded guns handed just to Aliyah, Lily, and her friends? The lady she had asked earlier was also close to Lily. What was going on?

“Why… Why are you telling me this?” she stuttered and looked at Stacey worriedly. Stacey stared at her and hesitated a little before speaking.

“Because Madam Olga ordered them to kill you.”
