Entangled With The Vicenzos

Entangled With The Vicenzos

She opened the door, and when she stepped inside, someone else closed it behind her. She jolted. Her head spun in shock to see him standing there. Her nerves felt jittery. He couldn’t possibly kill her now, could he? “W-what do you want?” Anna stuttered. The usual smirk wasn’t on his lips as he glared at her. “One thing I hate is when things don’t go as I planned. Silly little loopholes,” he said, pushing away from the doorframe. Her heart rippled when he took a step toward her. He was tall and large—she felt like a little girl compared to him. “I will scream,” Anna breathed, cold sweat rolling down her back. He held her chin. His hold was gentle as he caressed her jawline. Anna shivered. Then his lips tilted into a smirk—not enigmatic like the ones she had usually seen. This one was… sinister. One that told her he didn’t have good plans for her. “Careful there. We wouldn’t want you ending up with a broken spinal cord now, do we?” His large palm flew to her throat, his thumb gently caressing it. Tears brimmed in her eyes. “What do you want?” Her voice came out as a low whisper. “Your body,” he deadpanned. “As manure for my apple tree.” After being thrown to the wolves by her own father, Annalisa must make the ultimate choice—follow her heart or destroy the man she’s come to love.

Chapter: Chapter 217
Chapter 217The truth was, he hadn’t really been thinking; he had badly wanted to escape the guilt. He hadn’t thought that his actions would cost their kids becoming fatherless, not like he had been the best father.He had told himself he would be better, but as it seemed, he was slowly losing his damn mind. He wasn’t this person; he wasn’t one to act without thinking. It was just… he groaned tiredly, running his hand through his hair.He was no coward; he was not one to run and hide when the issue required him to take full responsibility. He was a fool, a big one.“Thanks for saving me, Massimo.”Massimo rolled his eyes. “I would keep today’s event between us. Enzo called; he was worried, but I didn’t mention your act of stupidity.”Leone palmed his face. Enzo—he had thrown him under the running bus while talking with Anna before he left the house. He was really a dick. Enzo hadn’t been the one to kill Anna’s parents…..“You should get going; your presence irks me to no end.” Massimo

Chapter: Chapter 216: Idiot
Chapter 216Massimo, who had discreetly followed Leone, rolled his eyes as he watched him jump down the cliff.“Idiot,” he shook his head. He knew he would do something so foolish, which was why he had been sticking around for this very moment and had tailed Leone here.He could only imagine how he felt right now. He couldn’t say he felt his pain; only fools fall in love. Oh well, love was indeed painful—to think someone as powerful and intellectual as Leone could be reduced to this utmost point of stupidity because of some damn love.He drew in smoke from his stick of weed and puffed it out from both his mouth and nose. He couldn’t wait to get something more exciting to do; then he could be free from this damn babysitting job. If only his old man was still alive, if only he had stalled his death a bit more…He checked the time on his watch. It was exactly 2 a.m. He leaned on his car. He should let Leone suffer a bit longer before saving him; that was his penalty for being such an id

Chapter: Chapter 215: Despair
Chapter 215The loud gunshot sound spilled out of the room. Leone froze instantly, and without a second thought, he burst the door open.His heart raced madly in his chest when he saw Anna on the floor, holding the gun while she remained in a dazed state. Her hand was wrapped firmly around the gun, a bullet hole on the wall.“Peach.” He rushed to her and held her shoulders, observing her body to make sure she wasn’t hurt anywhere.He sighed in relief; she wasn’t hurt. When he had heard the gunshot, he had thought the worst had happened. He was extremely glad she was okay.He slowly wrapped his hands around the gun, pulling it from her grip, and she continued to stare at him like he was someone she had never met before.His heart squeezed from guilt. He had broken her; he had hurt her beyond repair. He was so stupid, so foolish for allowing his fear to take control of him. He shouldn’t have kept this from her.“Anna, I’m sorry. I really am. Hate me all you want, but I beg you with ever

Chapter 214Her whole world halted in that very moment. What did he mean by Enzo had hands in the death of her parents? If this was a joke, then it was so damn cruel.She stumbled backwards in shock. He attempted to hold her, but she created more distance between them. Her eyes glistened with tears, tears from so much pain. Her heart squeezed in her chest like it was going to combust; she could barely keep her balance as the news hit her with such force.“Is this… some kind of joke?” She stared up at him, her eyes red with tears.“Peach, I—”“Tell me this is a fuckin’ joke!!” she yelled. A tear slipped past her eyes, the ache in her chest felt even worse as reality began to sink in that this was indeed true.So what? She had been dining with her parents murderer? She had been smiling with him? Shaking hands with the same person who ripped her of the privilege of experiencing the love of a parent?Oh gosh, a bitter laugh slipped past her throat. And him—this very man had known about i

Chapter: Chapter 213: The Confrontation
Chapter 213Anna felt a huge lump form in her throat as the thought formed a mountain weighing on her chest. She slowly put the brush down, staring at her reflection in the mirror; her blue eyes began to turn moist.She stood up from the chair, taking a deep breath in. Leone wouldn’t do that; he wouldn’t just lose feelings for her like that, especially when she had done nothing wrong. They hadn’t had any misunderstandings either.But one can’t control how they feel.The voice whispered in her head. Was this why… why he hadn’t said anything about their marriage? Was this why he hadn’t brought it up even now that everything was settled between them?Oh Lord, why had she never thought about this before?She poured a glass of water for herself and downed the contents to calm her racing heart.Unable to sleep, she stepped out of her room, her feet moving on their own accord to find him. She wanted answers to all her questions, and she would be unable to find any relief if she didn’t at thi

Chapter: Chapter 212; Guilt
Chapter 212Leone stepped out of the balcony, his polished shoes making soft clicking sounds as he made his way down the hallway.“Leone.” The soft feminine voice had him halting in his tracks. He turned to see Anna right behind him.His heart sank in his chest, but he hid his emotions perfectly well, almost as if they weren’t there to begin with, just like he had been doing.“I called you before, but I don’t think you heard me,” she said as she walked towards him, holding his larger hands in her smaller ones.Leone stared into her soft blue eyes, his heart twisting in his chest even more. He felt the gentle squeeze of her hands, and selfish thoughts began running in his head. What if he doesn’t tell her? Then everything would be okay.What was worse was that Anna had gone through a lot, the very last thing she needed was something that would hurt her feelings again, something as heavy as this. He had told himself he would protect her; he would be breaking his promise to her.He could

The Alpha's Possession

The Alpha's Possession

Zephyr stood with her head bent low and her hands clasped in front of her. His dark aura made cold sweat roll down her spine, and she felt herself trembling. She felt his ethereal dark gray eyes fall upon her, intensifying the urge to scurry away as he closed the distance between them. She tried to move backward, but her back pressed further into the wall, reminding her she had no place to run to. His larger frame towered over her as he placed one hand beside her head. Zephyr had seen many men, and she could confidently say none held a candle to Alpha Damon Alaric. Damon was handsome in every way, and if she didn't know better, she might have mistaken him for the devil. Zephyr shivered when his fingers grasped her chin and tilted it up to meet his dark gaze. "Zephyr…" Alpha Damon trailed off, a sinister smirk playing on his lips. Her heart raced as his thumb gently caressed her lips. "Didn't I tell you you're mine? How dare you let another man touch you?" His voice remained calm, but his eyes spoke volumes. Zephyr's heart skipped a beat when his hands moved to her bottom, gently caressing the soft flesh and stirring sinful desires within her. "Or do you want me to take you to my bed and remind you to whom you belong?" Zephyr Cyrus was the lowest of all kinds; even the Omegas easily trampled her because she was a slave. She had accepted her fate, knowing that denying it would only lead to death. However, everything began to change when the Alpha's shrewd eyes fell on her.

Chapter: Chapter 24: His Hiddden Identity
Chapter 24Zephyr ran outside the castle to collect the Alpha’s mail from the butler. She had promised herself that she would tread carefully—there would be no mistakes while she served him, and she wouldn’t go against any of his instructions, not after what she had gone through the day before.It was early in the morning, and the castle buzzed with maids and servants who were in a hurry to get their work done. As she walked, she could feel scrutinizing eyes on her, but she kept a straight face and continued without glancing at them. She was now wearing a neat black-and-white uniform like the other maids—she was no longer dressed in rags. Her hair was packed in a neat bun, and the injuries she had sustained from Sheila’s beatings had healed completely.As she walked, her eyes secretly searched for North, hoping to get even a glimpse of her, but she was nowhere in sight. Stepping outside, she saw a well-polished carriage with two horses, and Lord Rayven stood in front of it, seriously

Chapter: Chapter 23: His Rules
Chapter 23Zephyr’s eyes widened as he slipped the fabric off her leg. Her heart raced rapidly; she could barely breathe as she was left gobsmacked. His hand was still on her thigh, squeezing and massaging it gently, leaving Zephyr in disarray.Her cheeks, neck, and even her eyes burned from what he was doing to her. His large, cold hands on her tender skin, his movements—everything was too much for her to take in. What was he planning to do to her? Her body trembled under his hold, and her eyes glistened with tears, silently pleading for him to just let her go and not take her virginity.He eventually withdrew his hand from her body and stepped out of the bed, leaving her there. Zephyr’s face contorted with both fear and worry. With her hands still tied to the headboard, she couldn’t move an inch. She couldn’t help herself out of this crazy and embarrassing situation she had landed in. She wished she had never disobeyed the Alpha’s instructions to begin with—not that she had ever don

Chapter: Chapter 22: Her Punishment II
Chapter 22Zephyr clenched the side of her gown with her hand as she watched the Alpha suck her wound. Heat rose to her neck and cheeks, and she wished she could just disappear from his sight. She had never been touched by a man before—that was, not until the Alpha started taking an interest in her.As she watched him, she remembered that night at the inn where he had cornered her and fondled her bosom. She had been that scared and overwhelmed at the same time. Several feelings spiraled inside her that night—she had been too shocked and scared. But now that she thought about it again, she felt this strange heat in her body. It was highly embarrassing—the way he had groped her. She had to remind herself that this same man had seen her naked so many times already. Her chastity was as good as dead in front of him. These were things she had planned to keep hidden from her future husband. She couldn’t let him find out. How would he react if he knew she had been seen and touched by another

Chapter: Chapter 21: Her Punishment
Chapter 21Noah’s face hardened when Zephyr snatched her hand away from his grip, and he was even more annoyed by the fact that the Alpha had to interrupt their moment. But this wasn’t just any Alpha—this was the Alpha of the Shadowcrest Pack, so he quickly masked his annoyance with a composed expression.“Alpha Damon,” he bowed his head in respect.“Did you forget the route to the drawing room, Viscount Noah? Last I remembered, Lycans ought to have a sharp memory—unless, of course, one has failed to use their brain for a long time,” the Alpha said nonchalantly. As he spoke, his eyes never left his mate, who was supposed to be waiting for him in his chambers—not gallivanting with another man.Noah’s cheeks burned with embarrassment, and he clenched his fists to tame his anger. Extreme rage simmered within him at how the Alpha indirectly insulted him in the presence of the woman he was yet to woo.“I did remember the route to the drawing room, milord. I just came out for some fresh air

Chapter: Chapter 20: The Alpha’s Guests
Chapter 20Damon’s eyes twitched as he stared at him, another chuckle erupting from his lips.“Now, how on earth did you find out about that?” Rayven smirked. “It’s nothing personal, just wanted to play with you a bit,” he chuckled nervously.“Sure, play,” Damon muttered. His long claws came out, and his other eye, which had previously been gray, turned pitch black too.Before Rayven could blink, Damon threw him off the railing with such force that he landed hard on the ground. The impact left a huge dent, and Rayven lay there as pain erupted from every angle of his body.Blood poured from his head, and he felt like all the bones in his body were broken. He could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Damon leaned closer to him and wrapped his hand around Rayven’s neck with his claw.“I’ve been wondering where the brain to create such a creature even came from in the first place. I knew ever since that day those idiots attacked me that it was your fucking doing,” Damon said, t

Chapter: Chapter 19: HIM
Chapter 19Zephyr’s eyes fluttered open again. Her eyes felt heavy, and she felt so weak, like all the blood had been drained from her body. She struggled to recall what had happened the last time she had woken up, but it was close to impossible for her.Using every ounce of her strength, she sat up on the bed. The logs of wood in the fireplace burned vibrantly, bringing enough warmth and heat to the room. Zephyr looked outside, and she saw that it was night already.She knew she was in the Alpha’s chambers yet again, and sometimes, she wondered if he remembered she was just a slave. Zephyr was scared; that day in the woods, he had told her that her life would belong to him after saving her. When she found out he was the Alpha, she never thought he would care about her or protect her.Why did it feel like there was more to the story than she knew? It didn’t make any sense, but if it did, why would the Alpha care about someone like her? She was only a slave. She remained on the large b

Under The Mafia's Veil

After witnessing her mother being killed in cold blood at the tender age of 8, Alice Francesco sets herself on a mission to find and seek revenge on the mafia responsible for her mother’s death. Alice had thought her mission would be without any loopholes, but everything changed when she crossed paths with Zade Vicenzo, the Don of the Vicenzo mafia empire.

Chapter: Chapter 16: The Search
Alice’s eyes fluttered open, and she squinted at the sunlight streaming through the window. She looked around and realized she was still at Zade’s mansion. Slowly, she got out of bed. She vaguely remembered Zade being in her room the previous night, but her memory was blurry.Why had he come? She couldn’t figure it out, so she shook her head and went into the bathroom to freshen up.Alice put on the same clothes she had worn when Zade brought her there. Taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, she left the room. Her disguise had long been discarded, and she would need a new one since she was taking the day off.She rode the elevator down to the ground floor, mentally preparing to face Zade. Maybe she would ask him why he came to her room so late. Yet, when she reached the ground floor, she was surprised not to find him there. Even Francesco was nowhere to be seen.A maid approached her and bowed slightly. “Mr. Maurizio left very early this morning. He asked me to tell you that his d

Chapter: Chapter 15: HIS
Alice stared at Zade and then at Francesco. He stared back, his eyes emotionless, with no trace of humor. Was he joking? He had to be. There was no way she was going to do a threesome with Zade. She’d rather pull out her gun and blow her brains out."When I said I’d prove my worth, this is not what I meant. I can’t do it," Alice said firmly, her face blank as she stared at him.Zade smirked darkly and took a step closer. Instinctively, Alice stepped back. His tall, godlike, and intimidating presence always unsettled her. For a fleeting moment, she imagined herself in a threesome with Zade and his friend. Her skin prickled as goosebumps formed. She was in his house, his territory—if he decided this was what she must do, could she really refuse?"I’m not doing it," Alice mumbled before quickly turning and running away. Or maybe he let her. He watched her retreat, his eyes filled with intrigue before his face twisted into a frown.Alice bolted into a room and slammed the door behind her.

Chapter: Chapter 14: The Fright
Alice didn’t have enough time to overcome the shock, as more than 30 of Stravinsky’s men emerged after hearing the gunshot. Alice covered Enzo completely as she skillfully shot back, and fortunately, Saint and Fox drove toward them in Enzo’s Lamborghini.Enzo got inside safely, but there wasn’t a second to spare before they drove away, leaving Alice behind in the midst of the chaos.“Stronzo!” Alice yelled bitterly.She continued shooting back as she hid behind a wall, but who was she kidding? It was one against thirty. One of the men grabbed her neck in a tight grip and was about to blow her brains out when she heard a voice behind her.“Let her go now,” the deep voice commanded. Alice turned and saw Zade standing in front of her. She could swear she had never been so glad to see him.What was even more shocking was that the man immediately obeyed Zade’s orders and released her. Alice was confused as she watched the men stare at Zade with obvious fear in their eyes. That’s when Alice

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Mission
Alice blinked twice and flinched back, but the door blocked any further movement. She had to destroy all his vape pens if that was what it would take to snap him out of his insanity. Strip? The hell? How about a punch in the face!Alice gulped, her hands reaching carefully for the door handle. She was ready to bolt at any moment."You're insane," Alice blurted fearlessly, glaring at him."Bitch, tell me something I don’t already know," he smirked sinisterly before letting her go.He took five steps away from her. It was her boldness that drew him in. She was fearless—made him wonder what it would feel like to rip those wings off and make her fall back to earth.Alice watched him warily, and without a second thought, bolted out of the room. She wondered how far his insanity would go. Thankfully, she still had some money in her bank account, so she booked another room for herself. Alice entered the well-furnished room and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. She grabbed her phone to check

Chapter: Chapter 12: The Order
Immediately the hot liquid made contact with her hand, Alice bit her lip hard to stifle the yelp that threatened to break free. "Shit!" she murmured, quickly closing the window blind to block her view of the evil man. Since the moment she met him, he had been responsible for all her misfortunes. She grabbed the balm from one of the compartments in her desk and gently applied it to her skin, bandaging her hand afterward. She collapsed into the plush chair as her hands worked skillfully on the laptop in front of her. Clara, Enzo's secretary, had sent her a pile of files to go through. She had to be at work by 4 AM the next morning to accompany Enzo to Singapore for an important deal. Alice sighed tiredly, thinking about the stress she had to endure day and night. On top of everything, she couldn’t get enough rest because of Zade. She had asked Chiara to help dig up more information about Zade, and now she was scouring the internet for anything about him. But his damn face was no

Chapter: Chapter 11: The Aftermath
Zade leaned on the railings of the balcony as he twirled the glass of Barolo in his hands. A grim look settled on his handsome face, and his gray eyes remained expressionless, almost lifeless.He had done something he had never done in his entire existence: he spared a life. Zade scoffed. He was the type to immediately get rid of whoever caused trouble; why his instincts led him to spare the little girl was still a mystery to him. He had known all along that she was a girl, but he had watched her lie and cover up everything for his own personal entertainment.Zade clicked his tongue as he remembered the night his grandfather invited Simone to his house for dinner. As soon as Simone got up to excuse himself, Zade's sharp eyes caught the faint stain of blood on the chair. He had ignored it, simply because he wasn't in the mood to do anything about it. Yet, after seeing the way she strangled one of his employees and then shot him, Zade knew too well what an important asset she would beco
