Hot oil splashing on your naked hot chest

Santiago was cooking breakfast whereas Persephone was shamelessly ogling her shirtless captive. He had asked her to cook breakfast for them but when he knew that the Marino princess had never stepped inside the kitchen, he had to take the weapons (spatula and pan) into his own hands. 

"What are you doing?" Santiago asked a certain woman whose eyes hadn't left his chest since the beginning. To say he was pleased would be an understatement. 

"Oh, I'm thinking," Persephone said, still in a daze. 

"What are you thinking?" Santiago coolly asked her. 

"I'm thinking what would you do if the hot oil suddenly splashed on your naked chest?" answered Persephone honestly. 

As if on cue, Santiago tossed the ingredients in the hot oil and it suddenly splashed and a few drops fell on his chest. 

"Oh!Shoot!" Persephone exclaimed and ran towards the refrigerator. She rummaged for the ice cubes inside the refrigerator and when she found it, she directly headed in Santiago's direction and started rubbing over his tiny-tiny burn wounds. 

"I wish I had thought about something else. If I had known my thoughts would come true, I would have thought about becoming the queen of this beautiful paradise," Persephone muttered under her breath while the ice cubes in her hands were wandering to the forbidden area. 

"Are you taking advantage of me, Red?" Santiago whispered in her ear. His hot breath brought a shiver down her spine. 

Persephone swallowed her when she heard his sexy and husky voice. She looked up to meet his blue eyes suddenly shining with lust. 

"I-I'm not--"

"You sure?" Santiago asked as he caught her hand that was rubbing ice on his nipple.

Persephone's eyes widened when she realized that instead of helping him, she was digging a grave for herself. 

"I-I Oh! Breakfast! I'm hungry, serve me breakfast!" Persephone uttered whatever came to her mouth. 

"Sure, Red!" Santiago smiled an evil smile before throwing her on his shoulder. He made her sit on the dining table and then spread out her legs."Time to have my breakfast," he said while diving to taste the hidden nectar.

"Are you sure that you want all these things tonight?" asked Santiago as a frown marred his perfect brows. 

As Santiago had told Persephone that she could have all the things if she agreed to his deal, she gave a list of the things she needed for tonight and said if she wanted something else too, she would tell him later. 

Now after Santiago had his breakfast, Persephone was having hers. The only difference was that Persephone's included real food and Santiago's included orgasms after orgasm.

"Yes, tonight!" Persephone said while chewing on the food. "And don't go back on your words. I will be exploring the island with Raven today. I know you do not trust me to wander your place alone. Trust me, I will be fine with Raven since she knows the nook and corner of this paradise." 

"Raven?"

"My babysitter," Persephone said to him."I had lots of them back in New York. So, I'm used to them." 

"What have you done to earn a lot of babysitters, Miss Marino?" Santiago asked her with a sarcastic smile.

 She had an urge to punch the sarcastic smile off his face. But she controlled that stupid urge of hers because she knew that this man was evil. Far more dangerous than her father and Nico. So, it was better not to get on his bad side at least for now. 

"You see, I was my father's favorite Bambina (child). He was so afraid to lose me that he hired his beat soldiers as my bodyguards. But as slippery as I was, they still lost me," Persephone said with a perfect smile. Her lips were practically touching her ears as she remembered the scene.

However, her smile vanished after she heard Santiago's next words. 

"And then the slippery Bambina fell from grace." 

Persephone glared at him fiercely."Will, your black heart change its color if you utter a few pleasant words?"

Santiago snorted at her. "What does my black heart have to do with you? You should thank your lucky stars that you will not die for the next fifteen days. Your life will be hell after those fifteen days, Daddy's favorite Bambina." 

"What do you mean?" Persephone whispered. "You said you will not go back on your words? You liar! You cheat! You said you will not hurt me!"

Santiago ignored her words as he caught her wrist that was hitting his chest. "Just because I won't just you, doesn't mean your soon-to-be husband or father won't. What would they do when they get to know that their daughter had slept with her captor?" Santiago took a step ahead and she took one backward. "You can't escape Nicolas Scuderi in this life. You can't run away from Alessandro Marino in this life either. Have you ever thought about how they will treat you once they get to know that you have willingly let me f.u.c.k you? Not just f.u.c.k you, but gave your chastity to me on a golden platter?"

"God! You are evil," Persephone whispered in a broken voice. "You set me up. You knew from the beginning that I would agree? Why?" 

"Why?" Santiago scoffed. "Your family doesn't know this manipulative side of you. But I recognized it at first glance. You will do anything to feel powerful. Like a siren you used your beauty to lure me and let me tell you, it worked. But only until I was in a daze." 

He threw her limped body on the ground and said, "Go explore the island with Raven. I have sent a present to your father. Let's see if he liked it or not."

[MARINO RESIDENCE]

"Don Marino, there is a package placed outside the entrance," A guard came running inside the Marino mansion and said.

"Did you at least check what's inside the package? What if it's a bomb?" Salvatore, Persephone's brother said to the guard before Alessandro could open his mouth to utter. 

"We did," Another guard said. "It doesn't contain bombs or any kind of dangerous substance." 

"Where is the package?" Nico spoke in his usual monotonous voice. He had lost a significant amount of weight in the last few days. He hadn't taken a single minute to rest his brain and body. He had been looking for Persephone in every nook and corner of the country. Still, there was no news about his missing bride.

On Don Marino's orders, the package was brought inside the mansion. They were hoping that it would have something related to Persephone's kidnapping. And they were right to some extent. It indeed was sent by the Villain. 

Inside the living room, Carina Marino was standing beside her husband, Alessandro Marino. Sofia was peeking through the door as she was not allowed inside. Apart from the family, only Nico and some guards who were given the orders to open the box were present there. 

Carina gasped and broke into tears when she saw what the guard took out from the box. 

A bleeding woman's hand. 

"That--" Carino put a palm over her mouth to stop her sobs but only if it could stop the tears leaking out from her eyes.
