Alpha Dominic
Chapter 92

Graciela's POV

I want to stop these tears, I want to stop crying, but I just couldn't stop. Mom is dead, she is gone and it's all my fault. I tried falling asleep, but the stench of blood on my body keeps making me nauseous and I keep seeing pictures of my mother's body as she lay dead on the cold floor. I ran to the bathroom and had a bath, scrubbing my body so hard that it turned red. No matter how I try to scrub it away, the stench just wouldn't go away, it felt like I was back at the warehouse again. She didn't deserve to die for my mistakes, if anyone should have died, it should be me. I hope Fiona and Ciara would forgive me when finally tell them that our mom is no more, I hope they understand that it is not my fault, they have to believe that I dic all I could to save her. I left King Dominics boys, I ran away from the safe haven that he provided for me, I put my life in danger just to save hers. But I wasn't fast enough, that bastard didn’t give me enough time to save her. I guess it's true when they said that he kills just for pleasure. He had killed her just for the fun of it and I'm so glad that he got a taste of his own medicine.

I got out of the bathroom with a white towel tied around my body, stopping right above my ass, but I couldn't find anything to wear. My clothes are so dirty with stains of blood and every other stinky smell from that stupid, dirty warehouse. I checked the wardrobe by the corner, but it was empty, I mean it was completely empty. How can he just put me in a “guestroom with nothing to wear, is he forgetting that he brought me here with nothing at all, not even a change of panties. Now I'm forced to wear this flimsy towel to bed, I wouldn't want to bother him anymore, so I'm just going to go to bed naked the duvet will be enough to keep me warm until morning. I couldn't sleep, I tried and tried but I just couldn't fall asleep. The thoughts in my head are just too much for one person, I need something to make me fall asleep, I need... I need cocaine. A sniff of coke will make it all go away, it will make me, it will put an end to all my misery. The thought of cocaine gave me renewed strength and hope. I jumped off the bed in one quick move and I searched the whole room, looking for any stash o coke or any other hard drugs that could be lying around here. I know 'm not supposed to touch his stuff, but I can't go on this way, Il go insane if I don't get these thoughts out of my head. He said he is going to punish me if I touch his coke, but that will only happen if I get caught, right?

If I'm careful, I can steal a pinch of coke from his stash and he would never be the wiser. As long as I don't take too much of it, he would never notice, especially if he doesn’t see me using it. I can't slip into regression, not when I'm staying with a supplier of hard drugs. I couldn't find any stash in this room, so I'm guessing that he has them stored somewhere else. I just have to sneak around this house, I don't need to break into his store or vault, I'm sure I'll find some cocaine lying around here, I just have to search properly, I just have to look everywhere. If I get caught at any point in time, I can always say that I was looking for something to wear, I can use my lack of clothing as an excuse for roaming around his house aimlessly. 'm sure he wouldn't blame me for his negligence, would he?

Come to think of it, wouldn't it be so weird if he finds me roaming around his house in nothing but a towel. What the hell an I even saying, I won't let it come to that, I won't let him see me. I'm going to be super careful. I'll be back here in this room before anyone notices that I'm missing. I have to dodge his guys as well, If they find out that I'm not in my room anymore, they may alert their boss, and then it's going to be game over for me. I wonder what he would do to me if he finds out that I disobeyed his order and went in search of his stash of cocaine. The worst he can do is to keep me away from my sisters, that is all I care about right now. Aside from that, there is absolutely nothing that he can do to me that would matter to me because nothing bothers me anymore, nothing at all.

I pulled the doorknob and opened the door, then I peeked out of the door, trying to make sure that the coast is clear. I didn’ see anyone around so I tiptoed out of the room, hiding at every corner, searching for any opened door. The few doors that I've tried along the way are all locked, and I couldn't find any key around so I kept moving forward, looking for an open door I'm sure that he won't be too careful to hide everything away, even if he did hide it, I know that one of his boys would be using cocaine and they may keep it lying around the house. I heard his voice coming from a distance away, I followed the sound of his voice, tiptoeing very carefully. It led me to a flight of stairs and I realized that he is downstairs having a discussion with someone. It wasn't even a discussion, it sounded more like a fight because when I eavesdropped on their conversation, I heard him yelling at the other guy, ordering him to leave his house. I don't care about their fights and arguments, all I know is that Lorenzo is downstairs and that means that I'm all alone up here because his boys would be standing close by in case a huge fight erupts between him and whoever he is talking to. I ran up the stairs, going to the last floor. Luckily, the rooms up here were not locked, so I kept searching all the rooms, going from one room to the other, looking for any cocaine. I don't care if it's bad coke or tainted coke, I just need to find it. I need it, I need it so badly.

I searched all the rooms on the last floor and when I couldn't find any cocaine, I decided to search for Lorenzo's office or his bedroom, m sure I would find what 'm looking for with him. I can't go through all this stress and then go back empty- handed, I have to succeed, I have to find cocaine no matter what. I've already taken the risk, so I have to see it through. I wasn't hearing voices downstairs anymore, so I climbed down the stairs, going to search for his office. This time I was lucky and I found his office, and to make it even more easier, the door was left open for me. I just pulled the doorknob and the door opened immediately. I went inside and saw that black bag sitting on the chair by the corner. I almost screamed in joy, i was almost too good to be true. I guess he wasn't expecting me to try something like this tonight because I'm still moaning the death of my mother. If only he knows that I am too addicted to cocaine and I cannot do anything without it, even if the whole world was crumbling on my head, I would still search for cocaine to keep me going on, that is how addicted I am to the stuff. I jumped on it and dragged the zip open, then I pulled out a wrap of coke and opened it up, then I pointed some o itt on the table, sealing it back the way I found it. I got another wrap out and I repeated the same process, stealing a little ou of each wrap. When I'm done I got a blank paper from his table and I wrapped my stolen cocaine in the paper. I was half tempted to take a sniff of the stuff right here from his table, but that is a big risk that I'm not willing to take, I can't do it. I wrapped my cocaine in the paper and I hid it under my towel, then I ran out of the office, running like my life depended on it.

I did not look back, I was not even thinking clearly, all I did was run with all the strength I had left in me. All I could think of is the relief I would get when I finally get into my room, lock the door and bury my face in this white substance that means the world to me right now. I smiled within me as I ran up the stairs, I keep urging myself forward with the thought of sniffing my coke when I get up to my room. Just as I got to the top of the stairs and rounded the corner that led to my room. My legs were shaking and so was my whole body, I don't even know if I am shaking because I am running at too much speed or maybe it is because I need this cocaine badly. I know that my room was at the end of this corridor so after rounding the corner, I ran faster to get there faster, but I didn't even get close to the door when I hit a strong wall that wasn't there the first time when I left my room. I fell down on my butt and my towel fell off as well, exposing my nude body and my stolen cocaine. I was still struggling to pick up my towel when I saw a hand stretch forward and pick up my stolen cocaine, and when I looked up, I saw Lorenzo standing like a furious god, glaring daggers at me. It was at that point that I realized that I had not hit a wall, no, It was Lorenzo and right now, I'm doomed.
