Irina glared at her friend Cathy. "I will go back there, father." Cathy replied. Mr. Madrigal turned a sharp glare at his daughter."Have you lost it?? What sort of unintelligent suggestion is that, Irina?" Antonio asked her.Her father regarded her with an interested expression on his face."Yes, Irina. What are you saying? El Russo wants you dead." Cathy regarded her friend closely."If El Russo wanted me dead, father, I'd be dead by now. Instead, he married me." She rolled her eyes at the nauseating feeling that came with the words she was about to utter."I think he's in love with me," Irina added. Cathy let out a hasty chuckle."No way. Are you listening to yourself right now, Irina? A heartless man such as El Russo. In love with you? Impossible." Cathy muttered.Mr. Sanchez folded his hands and shook his head at Cathy. "I'm sorry." Cathy apologized to Irina."Are you certain you want to do this?" Mr. Madrigal asked. A question which completely stunned everyone."Yes, father. You

As soon as they approached the crossroads and El Russo took the turn labeled 'La Madrigal', Irina's eyes widened."Had he caught her sending a message? Was there a camera in the room?" She thought to herself.She continued glancing at him through her peripheral vision. El Russo's eyes focused on the road, and his face was contorted into a serious frown.El Russo sped though the gates of La Madrigal as the guards pushed them open.When he brought the car to a stop, he unlocked the doors and looked through his side mirror, and watched the guards shut the gates."Get out", El Russo ordered her in a firm tone.Shocked at his tone, Irina fumbled with her seat belt and pushed the door open.She kept turning back to watch him through the windscreen, but he sat put, with the same extraterrestrial expression hovering over his face.Irina walked through the doors, into her father's house. Mr. Madrigal was in his living room along with some guards, Cathy, her father and Antonio."Dad?" Irina cal

El Russo's eyes flung open, and he stared at her. " Going somewhere?" He asked.Irina froze to the spot and stared at him. "I..."El Russo turned her over, and pinned her to the bed, underneath him. Irina winced from the pain which radiated from the injury at her ankle.His tall frame towered over her, and he held his torso suspended over her. His jaw tightened, as his eyes ran down her tempting frame.Her eyes stood pinned to his. She licked her lips, as her hand touched his lusciously half-opened shirt."How do I punish you for what you've done?" He murmurred in an animalistic growl. Irina opened her mouth to speak but instead of words, a moan escaped her mouth, immediately betraying her own desires.Without waiting for her to speak, El Russo pressed down on her lightly, and claimed her lips with his. His hand moved up to her shirt, and began to pull open the buttons one after the other, while he kissed her.Irina felt herself sink into his touch and caresses, and she instantly forg

He pulled the trigger, just as the horse was about six feet away from where he stood. The Moreisian white horse immediately applied brakes, and came to a sudden halt, almost tossing Irina off its back.Irina whimpered as her injured ankle came in contact with the horse's back."That's enough drama for today. Get off my horse." He said in an estranged tone.Irina pulled herself off the horse with the help of El Russo's men, but when her feet touched the ground with force, she screamed out.El Russo turned back sharply to look at her. Immediately he caught sight of her badly twisted ankle, he walked up to her, and held her."How can you be so stupid?" He scolded her. "You hurt your ankle this badly and still rode a horse?" His eyes shone into hers. Irina looked up with an insurmountable amount of pain rendered in her eyes.El Russo felt his anger ebb away. He put his arm under her knees and swept her up into his arms. "You're so stubborn." He murmured.Irina admired the sight of his ha

Irina's eyes filled with wrath. El Russo was such a scum. He had wasted no time before rubbing their forbidden marriage in her father's face. "What am I going to do now?" Irina thought to herself. She needed to find a way to speak to her father, or Antonio. She walked towards the room door. Pulling the handle, she realized it was locked. "Dammit!" She cussed. "I need to let Father know what is going on. I need to let him know that this farce of a marriage was not my idea!" She rushed to pick up her phone which was charging by the bedside, but to her surprise, there was no service. "Damn you, El Russo!" She murmurred. The sound of feet shuffled outside the door. Irina crouched on the floor, to peer through the small opening underneath the door. She caught a pair of black shoes, with ankle-length trousers. There was a guard outside the door. She turned towards the window. It was open, and the sun was hot, but there were a series of guards patrolling the premises there as well.

Antonio walked out with a sad expression on his face. Cathy pat his shoulder. "I'm sorry. Irina would be so broken." She hugged him as tears streamed down her eyes.The door to her room was pushed open, and a couple of guards walked in with a couple of clothes, which they lined up on the bed, and one of them was a wedding dress."What is going on?" Irina turned to one of the men who was Biggie, El Russo's top guard."I would hurry up if I were you. The Boss does not like to wait." He said and shut the door. The windows had all been tightly sealed. There was virtually no escape route for her. Irina clutched the gown to her chest as she shook out of the dress she was wearing.She didn't bother with anything else, not even her hair or the make-up which had been neatly organized for her. After showering and brushing her teeth, she put on the beautifully hand sewn wedding dress.The fabric was soft to touch, and she could feel the roughness of the thread and the beads which had been sewn i
