A Hunt For His Queen Falling apart...
Distance murmurs and a rhythmic soft beat slowly pulled me to my consciousness. A warm, firm grip around my body cocooned me to its warmth like a protective shield. Intoxicating masculine crisp cologne surrounded my senses. Syl… I took a desperate breath to take more of his scent in. The rhythmic soft beats were his heartbeats as I was wrapped in his arms. Sensing my movement, his head snapped to me. Red dark icy blue eyes alert. Big calloused hand was soon to cup my cheek. "Cuore mio? Baby? You are…you are awake?" Hoarse deep voice was filled with desperation. My eyelids were heavy. A darkness was forcing me to shut my eyes again. But I wanted to talk to him, watch him… I parted my lips. But a sharp pain shot through my head. My brows pinched together. "Sandra? Talk to me, baby. Are you alright? Are you in pain?" He pulled me more into him, his face was inches away from me. An agony mixed with concern and rage etched into his features. Even if I could barely keep my eyes o

"I'm full." I pushed away the spoon he held before my lips. His eyes narrowed. "You are not. You haven't eaten anything since noon. Now finish it, then I will feed you your medicine.""I can take them myself," I grumbled, trying to move away from his lap. But that damn strong arm kept me firm against him. After our conversation, he began to treat me like a child. He changed my clothes, forced me to drink a glass of juice and when I wanted to go to the bathroom, he carried me to it. And to my utter embarrassment, he refused to leave me alone in the bathroom. He was perfectly fine seeing me pee. The nerve of this man!After a thousand pleadings with a red face from embarrassment, I made his grumbling ass stand at the door with his back to me while I did my thing. And now he made me sit on his lap and fed me the soup Maria brought for me as per his order. True to his word, he wasn't letting me out of his sight even for a second. He even ignored his phone calls and voice messages. I
A Hunt For His Queen Two conditions?
"I said no…" "Syl," I cut him off, attracting his narrowed gaze to me. "You must know from Ron that she is not well. Maybe it's important. Otherwise she wouldn't want to meet me personally."I wanted to tell Syl about my doubt, but I stopped myself. I wanted to confront Diana first. Only she could tell me what Vincenzo was doing at her building. Something told me he was there for her. "I'm not letting her see you, definitely not alone. You know her nature, she dislikes you."Shaking my head, I got up from the bed. And he immediately wrapped his arm around me, holding me against him. I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine, Syl. I won't fall. And about Diana's nature, I can just handle her fine. Don't worry. After all, this won't be the first time we will have a personal conversation." He let out a grunt. "I will be there with you if you're that eager to see her."I untangled myself from his arms. His lips pursed at the distance. "No. I'm going there alone. You can attend some phone calls in t
A Hunt For His Queen Birthday surprises
Under the shadow of the car, his hand crawled under my dress. A shaky breath left me with his sensual kisses across my neck. Even if my legs were tightly shut while I sat on his lap, his hand forced them apart and took a perverted entry. I gasped at a rough squeeze in my inner thigh. "Syl! What are you doing? The driver can watch us!" My eyes went to the driver, who drove through the street carefully with a stiff posture. In the mirror, I could see his flushed cheeks. My own warmed at that. My caveman let out a groan, nuzzling my chest. "He won't dare to look, cuore mio. Let me feel you, it was painful enough to not have you last night."My chest thudded. Hot desire rushed through my veins as I whispered. "At least let us reach the villa first. Then you can do whatever you want."But his hands didn't abide by my suggestion. They continued to roam over my curves, sneaking to forbidden areas. "Stop! Don't behave like a caveman" I hissed in a low voice, but he only pulled me close b

Laid before us was a photo of his family framed with golden edges. The members of his family smiled brightly at the camera, except my man. He had an almost non-visible smile on. As per Maria, it was taken on Syl and Enrique's eighteenth birthday. They clicked a family photo of them four. It was a beautiful memory. But like every other memory, he had hidden it inside Enrique's old room. I glanced at him, his silence bothered me. A coldeness covered his irises as he stared at the photo. Jaw tight. Without saying a word, he turned around to leave, but I grabbed his elbow before wrapping my arms around him. "It's such a beautiful photo. Don't you think you should hang it in the living room or your bedroom?" "Sandra," he warned. Voice thick. "They are in a better place, Syl. They would want you to talk about them, smile at their memories and cherish the moments you spent with them. Not hide their memories in the darkest corner of your mansion," I said softly. "Today is your birt
A Hunt For His Queen By hook or by crook
"I think you should talk to the boss regarding this matter, Ms. Brooks." Ron appeared at the doorstep, nodding at the men who were moving boxes inside as a sign to leave. Once they were gone, he turned to me. One of his arms was wrapped in a shoulder sling while the side of his forehead was bruised. "Ron? What are you doing here? You should take a leave and rest," I said. "Are you alright though?"He nodded. "I'm good, Ms. Brooks. Thank you. Don't you worry, taking a rest won't keep my mind at peace. So I better work hard to make sure I continue to keep my job."Guilt washed over me. After all, he was in this position because of me. "I'm sorry, Ron. You had to face his wrath once again because of me. And the accident…" "Don't embarrass me, Miss. It was my duty to protect you." A warmth flashed across his old eyes. "You're like a daughter to me, I would do anything to keep you safe. I should be the one to apologize for not being able to stop whatever happened that day. And about bos

The gentle breeze blew past my hair, letting the water of the lake ripple in waves. The moonlight dazzled upon it under the starry night. I took a deep breath, taking in the earthy scent of the woods and the lake. But my insides didn't calm down. After calling His Highness's ass for the hundredth time, I was now sitting on the bench near the lake behind the villa and cursing at him. Here I was dying out of tension, panicking over his safety, and he didn't even think to let me know his whereabouts. I wanted to know if he already grabbed Marko and did what he planned. If he knew where Vincenzo was. I wanted to know what was happening there.On the other hand, Beth's wedding was approaching. I needed to convince Syl to let me attend. I couldn't just miss my best friend's wedding no matter who she was getting tied to. Maybe I could take him with me too? That way he would be assured that I was safe? I called him again, but to no avail. He didn't receive my call. "Fucking pig!" Sudde
A Hunt For His Queen A fallen king...
Once we got out of the chopper, several men with strong built and cold features trailed behind us. My Italian guided me through the rooftop door to an elevator while Ron followed closely behind. He was already here when we arrived.Though the building was old and in a secluded place, the elevator and helipad was up to date. A place to deal with the Italian royal billionaire's secret matters. The moment we reached our destination, Oliver met us on the way. Through an empty dark corridor, he led us where they had kept Marko. Once we were in front of a set of dark wooden doors, Syl stopped in his tracks. I met his hesitant and concerned gaze. I gave him a nod. "I will be fine." Leaving a long pensive look, he wrapped his arm around my waist in a protective manner and nodded at Oliver to open the doors. And when the doors were opened, we entered a small room. A stale smell with a feel of suffocation hit me. And what shocked me was the man, Marko, hunched over on a wooden chair in th

I took a deep breath before opening my eyes. Butterflies stormed in my stomach furiously while my heart raced down my chest. The music from the church and the chatters of people flowing to my ears made my palms clammy. "Are you nervous, Cassie?" Em asked. While my other best friend smirked at me. "I thought you were the most excited bride of the century. But it seems like, you're just like an ordinary girl like us too, soft and emotional." "Shut up, Beth!" I shot her a glare. "I'm not nervous!" I denied. Liar! Syl suggested we hold our wedding after the delivery, but I couldn't wait. I already waited for months before finally convincing Syl that I was healthy enough to go through all the arrangements. Growing up, I never believed in love and marriages. But now, after having him in my life, I didn't want anything else more than I wanted to marry that brute of mine. Somehow…it became my dream. To have him as my husband and tie us together for the rest of our lives. But now that t

My intense glare didn't bring any changes to the man's stoic features at all. I tried with my puppy eyes earlier, but I failed. Now my glare was in vain too. The loud music blasted across the nightclub, colorful lights moved around. The beat compelled into moving the body. But there was no smell of sweat, perfume and alcohol like a typical nightclub should.Why? Because there was not a single person in this whole place other than the bartenders, the bodyguards outside and my freaking Italian royal prince, who stood before me! After being away from parties and drinks, being seven months pregnant, I had an intense craving to go and enjoy the night in a nightclub. But this brute wouldn't allow it! I knew alcohol wasn't good for pregnancy, but a few sips wouldn't hurt! My hormones wanted it. I knew how to avoid being careless. And he complied to my eager request, only to vacant an entire nightclub and remove all the alcohol from the place. Only music and juices were available. "How da
A Hunt For His Queen I love you...
His grip on my waist tightened. I felt him taking a deep breath against my neck, his entire form was tense. "Those guards you saw weren't our men, they were his. As we shifted to the villa, De Sylvano Mansion wasn't guarded by many guards. So it was easy for him to take them down and replace his men. And he did all of that the moment you sent me the message." The message? I remembered Vincenzo mentioning it. He had hacked my mobile and somehow stopped my communication with everyone. If not for Ron and the guards following me, they wouldn't have known where I was heading to. A chill ran down my spine thinking what could have happened if Syl hadn't arrived there on time. "That bastard had his men set among the guests in the wedding," Syl continued. "He was planning to attack while distracting us with his fake location. He knew I would send Ron and some of my men there to grab him and it would make it easier for him to attack. But when…" Dark icy blue eyes met mine. "When I left
A Hunt For His Queen Dead?
Blinding flashes sparked from down the stage from the darkness. Cheers and whistles made the night awake while the slow music urged me to move further. The spotlight moved with me as I walked down the ramp with the red princess gown flowing around me, my hair swayed gently with the whoosh of air. I walked with utmost confidence and a bright smile, while my heart palpitated at the dark gaze that devoured me from somewhere in the audience. Goosebumps spread across my skin with a pair of flaming eyes set on me like a predator. And then I found myself falling from the stage and wrapped into a pair of strong arms. Intoxicating masculine crisp cologne surrounded my senses. Dark icy blue eyes stared down at my amber ones with a look that made my heart skip. Suddenly I found myself in a nightclub, pressed against the wall by a furious Italian billionaire. His lips were inches away from me. "A kiss?" I heard myself whispering. The location again changed and I stood in the middle of a hall
A Hunt For His Queen Letting her go...
Blood ran cold in my veins. With a drop of tear rolling down my cheek, I stood there frozen. My heart slowed down for a moment before it started pounding against my ribcage. My hands shook at my sides realizing who was standing before me. Vincenzo Zolvesky.The man I was running from was waiting in my own house. My legs stumbled back, the cold doors hit my back, leaving me no escape. "You…" Words stuck in my throat. "W-what are you doing here? How dare you come to our house!" The side of his lips tugged upwards into a smirk. "Is that how you greet your guests, Miss. Brooks? Or should I say…Mrs. De Sylvano? That's the title Duncan De Sylvano used in that hospital after all." Something dropped inside me. H-how did he know what happened in the hospital? Did he…have someone to keep an eye on us? They were following us from the hospital? That's how they knew we went to the wedding. It explained why his men roamed among the guests hiding their identities. They were waiting for the ri
A Hunt For His Queen A trap of the enemy
Turning around swiftly, we found the two men who passed us earlier standing behind us, along with the tall man in the middle. Their guns were pointed at us. And the eyes of the tall man were set on me. A cold smirk tugged at his lips. My heart stopped. They were here for…me?Vincenzo's men. A panic started to rise inside me. My heart started racing. I thought they were guests…That meant…they were waiting for the right moment to attack, hiding themselves among the guests. How did they know we were going to attend the wedding? "Give her to us and we will let you go. Don't make it hard," said the tall man in a calm tone. "Step away or the consequences will be bloody," Ron hissed, one of his arms shielding me. "Carter! Call for backup!" he shouted to one of the guards. But before Carter could take his phone out, one of the men beside the tall one tackled him on the ground. And instantly, Ron shot him on the shoulder. A muffled scream left me as they advanced Ron. Gunshots star
A Hunt For His Queen Vincenzo's location?
Now? What happened all of a sudden?Ron suddenly rushed inside the church, nodding at Syl. His stance was tense, the guards behind him stood stiff. My heart started to race. Gripping my hand in his firmly, Syl took me away from the bride and groom. They gave us concerned looks but couldn't ask anything as guests surrounded them to congratulate the newly wedded couple. The stormy rage across Syl's features scared me more. "Syl, what happened? Why are we leaving so soon?" Before I could get an answer, Ron interrupted us. With his face hardened with determination and urgency, he had a grip on his gun. "Boss, my men just confirmed it. Vincenzo is there. They got together in that old motel for some meeting." My eyes widened. Vincenzo? They found his location? Syl's lips curled into a sneer. "It shall be the last meeting of his life. Did you instruct our men to take their positions?" Ron nodded. "Yes. As soon as they confirmed Vincenzo's presence there, they took action. They spr
A Hunt For His Queen A wedding or a disaster?
My heart stopped. I was…pregnant?A slight panic rolled in my stomach. I knew these pills weren't safe enough! My fear turned out to be true!W-what should I do now? I wasn't ready to be a mother. I didn't know if I could take the responsibility. What if I couldn't be a good mother…"Hey! It's fine!" Em grasped my hand. "Don't be nervous. Calm down and think about it. It's not as horrifying as you think it is. Plus, you will have to tell Duncan about it too." I licked my dry lips. "I…I don't know, Em. I…" "It's alright. I know it's overwhelming, but trust me, being a mother is the most beautiful feeling in this world," she said softly. "We're here for you, especially Duncan. You don't need to worry as long as he is with you." She hesitated before continuing. "But if you have other plans, then he will understand, I'm sure." A shaky sigh left me. Syl's words from the morning echoed in my mind. I knew he would be there with me no matter what. But I didn't know what decision I needed
A Hunt For His Queen Pregnant?
Morning arrived and I couldn't be more anxious and excited at the same time. I had stayed in our room the entire night talking to Beth and Em on video call, planning things for the wedding. Only at two in the morning did they say goodbye and left to rest. And my Italian stayed out of the room the whole night. Though I felt him wandering before the door a few times to check if I was alright until I fell asleep. My cold shoulder was taking a toll on him. A knock on the door resounded softly in the room. "Sandra? Baby? Are you awake? I've brought breakfast for you." I huffed. I wouldn't have opened the door if not for carrying on with our plan. Rising to my feet, as I walked to the door, a sudden dizziness hit me. Clutching the knob of the door, I held myself still and took a deep breath. Once the door opened, tired yet soft icy blue eyes greeted me. And my treacherous heart skipped a beat. "Good morning, mia regina." Placing the tray of breakfast on the small table beside t
