★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
The order hit Ivanna with a sharp sting inside, and her knees nearly buckled beneath her.
She hates orders. The only order she liked was "come fill your stomach!Meal is ready you workaholic!"
That always came from her mother when they still lived peacefully as one poor but happy family.
But now...as she knelt in front of the devil at his nonexistent mercy, she felt bile rising in her throat.
The thought of taking it in her mouth made her retch inwardly, her head was already a mess.
She looked back at Robert who's still being held at the edge of the acid tub. They suspended him there, ready to throw him in if she made the wrong choice, and she could see the helpless yet disapproving look in his eyes
But what's that gonna do anyways? She can't lose him like she lost Ginny. She came this far, and now there's no going back. Not now.
Draining away her pool of thoughts, she faced Leonardo once again, her eyes looking helpless as ever.
He's already smoking.
Each drag he took sent smokes into her lungs, making her asthma twitch in protest, but she held it down as her hands went to his crotch.
The guards in the room all turned around immediately, including the ones holding Robert down.
They turned their backs on the ungodly scene that's about to happen.
Robert couldn't even talk, he only cried as he was forced to watch how his sister got defiled openly.
The trouser is dark chinos, so the zip and belt was so easy to undo. One short minute, his cóck was out.
Ivanna's tears dropped on it as her head went down, her mouth opened.
She took the long pink-capped cóck in her mouth.
Her warmness wrapped around it like a sheath, and Leonardo adjusted, but he made no sound.
He didn't touch her, he just smoked with careless grace like she was doing nothing, like he's untouchable—above it all as she sucked him slowly.
Her head was barely moving, and she hasn't even taken everything inside, but he's already logged in her throat.
Her hands gripped his thighs, so hard that her nails dug into his chinos fabric as she deep-throated, taking everything inside. She choked.
Leonardo looked down at her head, smirking after releasing another cloud of smokes to the air.
"You'll have to try harder, wonder woman." He commented.
Ivanna held the base, grunting as she went all in again, using her tongue to lick the shaft, the tip on the cap and the sides on the balls, using saliva as the improvised lubricant.
"You get a E grade for that move, much better." Leonardo's sick voice dropped again as his head went up.
His eyes met Robert's, and when he saw the hate in Robert's eyes for him as he watched his sister getting used, he smiled slowly, cruelly.
Ivanna felt her cheeks bulging as he started growing in her mouth, preparing to burst.
"Faster," He ordered.
She followed with the pliancy of a beaten animal, looking for scrap.
The d+k slid past and back into her mouth with urgency, as if at a gunpoint. Her eyes reddened, streaks decorated it, cold tears leaked out, but they weren't tears of pains, they reek of vengeance as they dropped.
Leonardo finally bursted in her mouth, releasing everything.
He pulled himself out, and Ivanna was about to spit away the cûm when another order came...
"Leave it in your mouth, open that mouth and show your brother how beautiful that cûm is."
Her palms balled, her knuckles paled, revealing the shaky set of bones under her flesh.
With her mouth filled, she held eyes with Leonardo for a second, wishing him all the plagues in the world before facing Robert's angle.
She opened her mouth, showing him the cûm as ordered.
Tears welled in Robert's eyes again, and he was released from the tub edge. He fell on the ground heavily.
Leonardo bolted up and stood to his feet eventually.
"Take them back to the holding room, and tell the maids to rest for tomorrow, they'll take over the cleaning of the whole clan, my citadel excluded." he ordered.
"Yes sir!" The guards bowed.
Leonardo gave Ivanna a burning look of mockery before stepping away.
The siblings were taken back to the holding room, but Ivanna couldn't even look Robert in the eyes.
She could still taste the cûm on her tongue, and no matter how many times she spat, the taste lingered.
She kept her face low, her back is on him, too.
"Iva, look at me." Robert said persuasively.
"Just let me stay like this. Don't disgrace me further. I can't look you in the eye, too ashamed." Ivanna replied, still sitting there.
"This is exactly what he wanted. He wanted to shame you, that's why he made you do that while I watched. You can't give him the joy of accomplishment. Look at me, Iva, please." Robert pulled her arm.
She broke free.
"You're still my little sister, nothing has changed. You agreed to do that to save my life, you wouldn't do it if my life wasn't involved. I'd be stupid if I blame you. Joy, please..." He begged again, pulling at her vest.
Ivanna looked at him slowly, and when their eyes met, Robert smiled.
"That's it, don't be ashamed."
"You know when to use my middle name too much..." She said.
Robert smiled wider, and Ivanna blinked repeatedly, fighting tears.
"I'm tainted, used, violated, and I won't let this pass by," she said.
"We won't," Robert nodded, hugging her tightly.
"From now on, we have to survive here by all means. We can't die like this, not after everything that has happened." He coaxed.
"I know, I won't let us die. We have to survive by all means." Ivanna replied, hugging him too.
Then the door opened again, and the room was showered with more lights from the corridor as guards from Bacardi's Planet came in.
"Miss Bacardi wants you in her Planet. Follow up or we beat you till you bleed before carrying you," they ordered straightforwardly.
Ivanna quickly covered her brother, but Robert pulled her back.
"Let me go easily. With the little we've seen, we know all the siblings are wicked, though the Leonardo guy is the wickedest, but they're still all cruel. Who knows what this one might do of I refuse to follow? Don't complicate things."
"What if she asks you to do something s+×ual too?" Ivanna asked worriedly.
"Then so be it. They want to use us? Cool. We won't die if we cooperate, I'll be fine." He assured.
He followed the guards out of the room, and as the door locked behind them, Ivanna sat on the camp bed, interlocking her fingers.
It didn't take long before she stood, spitting out salty saliva for the twentieth time today as she paced the room, thinking of ways.
If they're going to really survive here, then they have to at least gain the trust of one of the siblings.
But who?

[Armando Constructions Company (ACC), 7pm]
Mrs. Penny Armando sat gracefully behind her desk at the top floor of the skyscraper, and she's rotating her swivel chair smoothly as she watched a construction display on her wall.
She's a tall, hostile-looking woman with long brown hair and wide hips which Lissa definitely took after.
Lissa madly resembles this woman; facially, hairline, and body physique.
Penny is working late today cos of a obvious reason.
After the company lost several construction workers during the accident two weeks ago, they haven't hired new workers.
They had to wait for the news to die down and the protests to stop before they started hiring new workers today which is why she's still at work.
Despite how the company abandoned the former injured workers in the hospital, there are still multitude of people on the company website, submitting their resume to get jobs here, and that just shows people will enter a burning furnace so far it means getting money.
In this city, just be rich. You'll get away with murder in any form.
Mrs. Penny was about rounding up at five minutes past 7 when her secretary rushed inside.
"Madam, there's a problem!"
"Share it," Penny looked up, taking her cup of coffee.
"Somehow, the accident issue got to Mayor Cliff, and he has ordered the cops to open the case tomorrow morning," the secretary reported.
Penny drank from her coffee, dropped the mug back in the tray before talking crisply.
"That fool is trying to buy the love of the people by using this accident as a shield? He's not a good person, he's only chasing clout. Anyways, his tenure as a living thing would soon be over, latest tomorrow." She said.
"B...but ma'am. There are still ten living patients from the accident in the hospital. What if we pay for their treatments to shut up the public for now?" The secretary suggested.
"I see mum has gifted you wings lately, which is why you're flying around limitlessly." Lissa replied, entering the office.
While Penny is the Chairwoman of this company, Lissa is the CEO.
The marble floor trembled under the soft clicks of her heels, her perfume cut through the air and forced the secretary to sneeze.
Her long, dark lashes dipped and rose, scrutinizing the secretary as if she were a mere object less than a human.
"You said there are ten patients left in the hospital, and those ten either need surgery on the brain, backbone, legs, arms, eyes or heart. Do you even know how expensive those surgeries are? Do you have an idea? We'll be spending nothing less that 15 billion on those ten animals, and you're here, suggesting they get treated? When the construction site was collapsing, why did they not run out fast enough?" Lissa heartlessly said.
The secretary stayed silent out of fear.
Lissa picked her mother's coffee from the small tray and poured it all on the ground, in front of the secretary.
"Bend down, and lick it." She commanded.
The secretary looked up at her cold eyes, and that was replied with a swinging, stinging slap from Lissa.
She instantly went down, licking the whole spilled coffee from the ground with her tongue, making sure no brown drop was left there.
"And you're fired," Lissa added, kicking her out of the office.
"Your mood has been sour since last night, Lalissa." Penny finally talked.
Lissa sat on her desk, not replying.
"You didn't come say hi after I arrived from the business trip. We didn't see each other throughout today, we only just met now." Penny continued.
"You promised to come back from the trip early to attend the Sinners Assembly at the House Of Esposito, but you bailed. Our money was nearly stolen!" Lissa glared seriously.
"You were there, that equals my presence. You're still the best genius lady in this city, google knows too, so I'm rest assured you handled it well. Also, we both know there's no way any living thing will enter the clan and come out alive without getting caught, so quit being salty. I'll visit Donna Felicia tonight anyways, and I might be spending the night at the clan," Penny said.
"I'll be going too," Lissa stood from the desk as her phone bleeped.
It's a short text from an unsaved line.
★ Ivanna sucked Leonardo.
Lissa smiled after reading the letters close to ten times each, but it wasn't a satisfactory smile.
Her deep red lipstick made her smile spread like dark poison across her predatory face.
It's a smile of madness.

[Crimson Cave]
Tonight is the night everyone is expected to kickstart their individual missions separately.
Others have left the cave, but Bradshaw and Moo are still inside.
They're in front of Monika who's sitting regally on her throne like their owner. She's holding a small vial of red pills, shaking it with a mischievous gleam.
"You said you found a addition?" She said, glancing at Moo.
"Yes, Leader. He's Hayden Woods, a veterinary doctor who's a friend to the thieves who broke into the Outfit clan. He's desperate to find his friends, and I'm going to use that to lure him." Moo explained.
"Interesting. I have a lot of faith in you, Moona. Don't disappoint." Monika nodded.
She released one red pill from the vial and threw it at Moo.
The tall lady caught and ate it, chewed it till she swallowed liquid.
"Bradshaw?" Monika faced the huge guy squarely.
"Bobby is at his brothel club, it's Sunday so there's no way I'm wrong. Trust me, he's getting bitten?" Bradshaw assured.
He received the red pill too, eating it till he swallowed liquid like Moo.
The pills are poison, made by Monika herself, but it's a rare kind of poison.
Once you start taking it, you must continue taking it weekly, unfailingly. Any week you fail to take it, the poison spreads, and you die.
Monika controls Moo and Bradshaw with it since she's the maker and the only one with the pills.
There's no escape route for them. They can't even think of betraying.
They left the cave for their different jobs, and Monika sank back into her chair, smirking with quiet confidence
"Violent Vera, you just wait... I'll send your kids to meet you in hell."

[House Of Esposito, Bacardi's Planet]
The guards left Robert to enter alone when they arrived with Robert.
He looked around, expecting them to push him inside, but seeing that he has been left alone, he took the first step to the main door, raising his hand and wanting to touch the doorknob, but there's no knob.
Instead, there's a card sensor, but the door is already open, so he stepped inside, and the sound of blaring music nearly shattered his ears.
It was soundless outside, walls are soundproof, but inside like this, it's unbearable.
He had to cover his ears.
This place could be called planet of iniquities or sin camp alternatively.
Naked men dancing on poles, neon and chem lights creating blue and red hours, alcohol bottles laying around—full and empty ones.
Robert stepped back, deciding to just leave, but he was blocked behind, and he jumped before turning.
Despite the neon lights, he could make out her face.
The only sibling who wore see-through singlet and ripped jean in the wedding ballroom.
So she's Bacardi?
He gulped as she gripped his vest tightly in the front, and he didn't try to struggle when she tore it easily like a wolf tearing it's prey.
She threw the torn material away, touching his chest with a finger.
"Go join your peers at the pole, do a strip dance..." She said, point-blank.
"If I do that, will you grant me a favor?" He requested.
Bacardi frowned, running that one finger from his chest to his throat, hitting his Adam's apple.
He staggered, coughing.
"You're a fool if you think you can actually bargain with me, now get on that stage and strip dance!" She pushed him to the front.

[Hayden's Veterinary Clinic]
His street is 129, just one street behind the Cooper family street, and the clinic is built with his small apartment.
The clinic is the front view, and his house is at the back. Despite his brilliance, he barely gets animal patients to treat.
This street isn't a business place anyways, but at least he's managing.
The picture he snapped with Ivanna on their college graduation sat on his table, and he was almost pushed to tears as he stared.
He has no connections, so this Cooper family case is beyond his reach now cos it's obvious the higher ups are behind it, aka, the Outfit.
No idea about what to do.
He licked his chapped lips as Dusk climbed his chair, and from the chair, she climbed the table, standing hungrily in front of him.
Dusk is Ivanna's pregnant cat.
She dropped her here for treatment before the construction site accident, before everything went chaotic.
Now the pregnancy is starting to swell, and Dusk obviously missed her owner, but what can he do when he doesn't even know where Ivanna disappeared to?
"You want cereals?" He asked the cat, and she replied with a meow.
"I'll get you a plate, stay here." Hayden stood, only for the sudden roar of a gunshot to slam him back instantly.
He took Dusk along with him, and the cat stayed silent in his arms as they both lay there quietly.
Two minutes later, Hayden stood, tiptoed out of the clinic and opened the door to peep outside.
He was shocked out of his damn mind to see a bloody body laying outside the clinic.
It's a lady, bleeding from the arm. Obviously, she's the one who got shot from the earlier gunshot.
"Jesus!" He gasped, stepping back quickly with wide eyes.
"S...s... save...me.." the lady gasped from the ground, grabbing tight to her bleeding arm.
"This is an animal clinic, I'm just a vet, I don't treat humans, and.." Hayden rushed his words, but he's already so full of pity.
"Pl..ease..." The lady talked again, her voice sounding like she'd soon lose consciousness.
Giving in to humanity, Hayden looked around to make sure no one's looking, then he helped her up.
He carried her in his arms in a bridal style and entered the clinic with her.

[Hellfire Brothel]
This place is situated in Michigan Avenue, a place of deflection and fun for Bobby.
He owns this brothel in his name.
A place where he employs different courtesans to work for him nightly, entertaining guests on roll calls.
The brothel is just a deceiving font for what's going on here exactly.
Behind this place, is the clan major warehouse, so this brothel does the job of covering up to kill all attention.
The prostitutes and regulars here know Bobby as just Master, no one knows he's actually Bobby Esposito except the mobsters who work here.
He does his thing low-key here which is very rare, and he wears long sleeves to cover his dragon tattoos.
Entry requires a dragon card from Bobby himself, but Bradshaw was able to forge one and get past the bouncers by the black door.
He entered the brothel, going from section to section.
There are orgies going on in brightly lit rooms, sèx dances and strip shows, private sessions with bigshots in the private elevated rooms.
"I bet they rake close to 5 billion nightly here. The Outfit is really something." Bradshaw commented.
Then he entered a middle room where he saw Bobby.
Bobby is in the axis of that room, and Wendy's body is on the table, still getting punished by him.
It's fire tonight. He's burning her fingers, and his little crowd of watchers are hailing.
Bradshaw picked a cup of rum from the nearest long table, not intending to drink but to disguise as he stood in a dark corner.
He brought the poison out of his pocket—a small cube.
He opened the cube, and a large mosquito flew out.
The poison has been infused in the body of the bloodsucker, so all it has to do is bite Bobby.
Bradshaw sent it away, and it flew straight for the target.
Immediately it landed on Bobby's neck, it didn't get the chance to bite before Bobby's hand flew back, slapping himself on the neck—exactly the mosquito spot.
The slap killed the mosquito, flatly.
Brighter lights came on in that room, spilling on Bradshaw's face in the corner as Bobby looked back with intentional slowness.

[Royal Meridian Hotel]
It's 9pm, and it's been one hour since the big men started donating for orphanages and hospitals, but it seems it's not ending soon.
Leonardo stood somewhere in the midst of the men, his suit is off, but his black shirt and waistcoat is on, and habitually, his sleeves are rolled to his elbows, and his right hand is inside his pocket where he's flipping his lighter—it got repaired.
Mayor Cliff is the busiest tonight. He has been donating nonstop since the start of the charity, but too bad those are gonna be his last act of mercy.
Not like these donations will even get to the orphanages. This event is just for show—to show the public that they're good men, but once it's over, they get their money back.
That's the protocol, always.
Bunch of hypocrites. Apart from Mayor Cliff, there are commissioners, aldermen, and lots of 'em milling.
Leonardo has been watching from the best spot since the start of the event, and even without moving, his eyes are aware there are ten cameras in this room, and their big screens are connected to the power room which is heavily guarded.
If he's to kill the guards and destroy the cameras, Mayor Cliff would be gone before he's done, so he made a more meticulous plan.
He pulled his phone, walking out of the hall as he dialled Mayor Cliff's line, using voice modulator to disguise his voice as his wife.
"Yes?" Mayor Cliff's distorted voice responded from the other end.
"Honey, I'm calling with our doorman's phone. You need to come back home immediately. The house is on fire!" Leonardo said with enough panic rush.
"What!!!" Mayor Cliff screamed.
Leonardo cut the call, and his steps grew wider as he walked towards the dark park filled with fresh cars.
He waited in the shadows like a ghost for a minute, and Mayor Cliff appeared with his entourage of guards behind him.
They're all asking what's going on, but he's definitely not in the mood to reply anyone of them.
There are only two cameras in this parking lot, and Leonardo sharply cut of their lenses with cursory taps on his phone, then he messed with the network of this hotel, too.
Pocketing his phone, he emerged from the shadows, movements sharp as razor.
The guards saw him first, his arm tattoos gave him away, and they attacked first instantly.
Leonardo weaved, side to side, dodging two incoming punches.
In a swift counter, his fists slammed into their necks, cracking their breathing tubes and carotid veins with savage accuracy.
He ended their lives on the spot.
Their bodies went limp, collapsing into the cars bonet with a sickening sound.
Mayor Cliff is inside the car already, and the sheer horror that flashed in his eyes was terrifying.
He screamed.
Holding eyes with him, Leonardo did a short calculated jump, landing on the back of another guard, breaking his backbone then going ahead to break the car window with the head of that same guard.
With trembling digits, Mayor Cliff took his phone for a call to the security unit, but it's not connecting at all.
He screamed again when another guard body landed on the tar trunk.
That was the seventh, now it's just one left.
Two punches to his chest, another two to his spleen, then an additional one to his torso, sent the guard down like his other colleagues.
Leonardo opened the car door, entering the backseat...
From there, he stretched himself to the front, rolling the steering and moving the car forward, intentionally marching the head of that eighth guard. His brain mashed with the pavement.
Mayor Cliff howled, but it's like drinking from the ocean. Useless.
No help is coming.
When Leonardo balanced back at the backseat, he pulled a earpiece out of his pocket, looping the cable on Mayor Cliff's neck from the back.
Mayor Cliff gasped as it cut through his throat, hands pressing the leather of his seat as if it could save him.
"Ten cameras in the charity hall? Eight well-trained guards? Is that all you've got? All it took was taking your darling wife's voice and making you believe your house was on fire. If you wanna make an enemy with the clan, you should have tried more, ratchet." Leonardo whispered.
"You destroyed my henchman knees, and you made him swallow the billion i sent in one cash, then you went ahead to give me twenty four hours to pay back including the interest! It was too much!! People warned me when I wanted to meet your clan for a loan, but I was adamant, now I regret!" Mayor Cliff ranted, shaking so much.
"You knew the rules, yet you played with it, and now you're playing victim?" Leonardo muttered, pulling the earpiece cable again.
"Suckers like you don't deserve a chance to live at all, now run to Satan's feet where you belong, and beware that we'll take your payment from your will, you can't escape paying even after your death." Leonardo whispered.
For the third time, he pulled the earpiece cable, and this time, he didn't let go as Mayor Cliff struggled desperately to breathe.
His face reddened first, then his eyes rolled up. His fingers tried to pull off the cable which was impossible.
His skin turned cold, and his tongue protruded out of his mouth.
He gave up completely.
Leonardo inserted the earpiece buds into his dead ears before tilting to look at his dead face.
"Cinematic," he muttered, stepping out of the car and slamming the door.

[House Of Esposito]
A white Maserati ghibli rolled fast into the estate park, and after a minute of killing the engines, Lissa and Penny hopped out.
They came straight from the company, and Island was already waiting to escort them.
"Welcome, Madam Penny, Miss Lissa. The Donna is waiting at the roses Sanctuary to receive you. She's with the Don." Island reported.
"Go with her, mum. I have something to take care of." Lissa said.
"What something?" Penny queried.
"Have to show someone her place," Lissa replied.
Penny gave her a suspicious look, but she left with Island eventually.
Lissa went straight to the holding rooms session of the clan.
She knows Ivanna and her brother are in the fifth one, and no one dared to stop her till she arrived.
The guards by the corridor opened the door for her, and she stepped in, her heels too tall it made her taller than any of the stout guards.
Ivanna is in the room, still pacing and waiting for the comeback of Robert.
She stopped pacing immediately Lissa entered though.
"You lied to Leo about the location of the real parcel, and that's laughable cos Leo knew how to find the parcel since the start, he only wanted to hear it from you. But your mouth, on him? You couldn't say no?" Lissa queried immediately.
"You're not my brother, so I'm not talking to you. Go back." Ivanna replied straight.
"You're talking when I'm talking?" Lissa stomped forward to attack with a slap, but Ivanna was fast to block it.
Lissa's arm went back, and she laughed, but it was short.
In a blur of speed, she swung her leg up with impossible height, and the side of her YSL heels connected sharply with Ivanna's jaw.
It was too fast, too swift.
Ivanna crashed to the ground with a low, pained groan.
Lissa dropped her leg, c+kily adjusting her cropped suit.
"Jujitsu, taekwondo, Kung Fu, manic global combats, I learnt and mastered everthing with Leo. His mother VV was our trainer when she was still alive. She once threw I and Leo into a death duel with twenty other kids, and we were the only two kids that emerged as the winners after we killed the other twenty. I and Leo are on the same level, faster than any motherfucker, so don't EVER think of messing with me with your run-of-the-mill fighting skills, cos I'll kill you brutally and bury you in a nameless grave." She threatened, revealing her hand.
She's holding a pesticide spray bottle, big and black.
With half-lowered lids, she stared at it like a weapon of ruin, sneering.
"Ivanna Joy Cooper, you're asthmatic, aren't you? This is a warning, that the next time Leo invites you to suck with your contaminated mouth, you say no" She sighed, raising the spray.
Ivanna's eyes widened terrifically on the floor, but before she could stand or hold her breaths...
Lissa sprayed.
Smokes of pesticide filled the room, choking Ivanna in place.
She couldn't move, couldn't talk.
She just held her throat on the floor, gasping for breaths in the middle of the smoky, fleeted room.
Lissa dropped the spray, and it hit the floor with a noisy bounce.
She walked out with her arms behind her back, leaving Ivanna to her fate.
"No one can open the door without my order. If her brother comes back, make him sleep at the yard" she told the guards and locked the door.
TBC.
I feel bad for Ivanna🥲
