A Hunt For His Queen A murder spot
The man who was after my life stood right before me. Dark brown eyes shone with triumph and malice. For the man who kept his location hidden to escape Syl, there was no fear across his features. As if…he had gained what he wanted all along. My ruination.A shiver ran down my spine. Being alone with a man blind in revenge didn't feel right at all. I took a deep breath. Not showing anything on my face that would benefit his ominous interest. "What are you doing here?"My voice was even. He let his gaze roam up and down my body. "Forget about me. You shouldn't be here all alone so far away from your dear Syl. Things are not in his control anymore, Ms. Brooks."How did he know I called him Syl?And what did he mean by things were not in Syl's control anymore?I held his gaze with my steely one. "You don't need to worry about me. I can handle myself just fine. You should be one to be concerned about your safety, Robert. After all, you are no longer a mayor or a powerful businessman who
A Hunt For His Queen On your knees
I was frozen on my spot. But my eyes didn't. Letting out a shaky breath, with my heart racing, I Iet my gaze appreciate the sight before me. Marvelous. No. Even 'marvelous' wasn't enough to describe him. His hands were firmly pressed on the wall. With his head hung low and broad shoulders rising up and down with his heavy breaths, he stood under the shower with his muscles tense. Water droplets rolled down his broad sculpted shoulders to his back relentlessly, touching his tanned skin that my hands itched to touch. My cheeks heated up as I let my eyes travel down to his narrow hip and firm behind, to those strong powerful thighs and legs. My mouth dried and I found myself licking my lips. My lower abdomen warmed as desire to see him, feel him, filled me. I found myself walking inside, silently locking the door behind me. As if sensing my presence, his form tensed. But he didn't move, nor did he turn to me. My sexy man is very mad at me. Maybe I know how to calm him down. I bit
A Hunt For His Queen A new enemy?
In the middle of the night, a distant blare of a phone touched my ears. The warm body against me moved and then the sound was gone. The depth of darkness pulled me in again into a peaceful sleep until I heard another noise. Snuggling into the pillow, I turned on the bed. The lack of a warmth behind me forced my eyes open. Instead of Syl, there lay emptiness beside me. A frown formed between my brows. Where did he go?Letting out a yawn, I checked the time.Three in the morning. Seeing the bathroom light off and the door of the balcony closed, my frown deepened. "Syl?" I sat up. And the blanket slid down, revealing my bareness. Heat crawled up my cheeks recalling the event of last night. A very hot and punishing event. I bit my lip as my blood hummed at the reminder of his sinful touches and strokes. His taste still lingered in my mouth. But to my dissatisfaction, he didn't give me what I begged him. He didn't claim me last night. His marks sat all over my body, but I was still
A Hunt For His Queen An upcoming danger
A darkness claimed over his cold blue gaze. "How do you know?" I took a deep breath. I knew what his reaction would be after knowing for how long I had hidden this truth from him. But it was high time Arianna's intentions should be revealed. Then I blurted everything out. From seeing her in that restaurant with Robert Samuelson to finding her in his office. Except the fact that Oliver knew it. I didn't want to drag him into any more trouble. But I did reveal what Robert threatened me about. An upcoming danger we were unaware about. Suddenly something about his aura shifted. His shoulders tensed. "And you are telling me now?" I managed not to flinch at his harsh tone. The side of his eyes twitched with the rage radiating off him. "I tried to tell you, but…" "But what?" he snapped, pulling away. "If you had told me earlier, I could have grabbed Robert sooner using her as bait! And he wouldn't have the guts to corner you either! Now God knows what she is planning right now!"
A Hunt For His Queen Ravished by the beast
He slowly turned around, dark icy blue eyes met mine. I gulped at the sinister menace across his features, not to forget the horrifying sight behind him. As if sensing my fear, his form turned rigid. A curse left him. "Sandra…." A deep breath, as if to control the beast inside him. "Go outside."Voice thick. "But…""I said go outside!" My legs obeyed even if my brain protested. And soon he followed. The murderous look in his eyes made me take a step back. "I…I wanted to see Theresa. Then I heard the screams…" I tried to give him the excuse Ron thought of. "You followed me?" He cut me off. My mouth went shut. His tone left no choice for arguments. "I didn't want you to do something rash. You were furious and we all know what you do when mad. That's why I came here," I said the truth. "And I was right. Is he even alive? We need information from him, Syl!" His lips pursed, nostrils flared. His hands twitched, as if to pull me closer which was his habit. But he didn't. The blood i
A Hunt For His Queen Vincenzo Zolvesky?
A shaky breath left me. I squirmed on his lap. The perverted hand of his kept roaming up and down my thighs, squeezing, while he typed on his laptop with the other hand. After he ran me a nice warm shower in the morning, he made us breakfast and fed me until my stomach couldn't take it anymore. He had ordered Maria not to disturb us today, so she gladly accepted the day off. And this gave His Highness a chance to let his perverted side loose. He wanted me to sit on his lap naked while he would feed me breakfast. The nerve! Of course, I displeased him again by putting on one of his t-shirts. They were comfortable, although I had never seen him wearing one. He always had button down shirts or suits on. Typical businessman! And he was punishing me now by his seductive touches, turning me on, but not touching me where I actually wanted him to. Even now in his study, he kept me on his lap while he checked some emails and continued on with his adventure. My reactions weren't acknowledged
A Hunt For His Queen Bleeding...
"Your Highness, why don't you go and have some sleep? It's one in the morning," Maria said from behind the kitchen counter. Syl wasn't home yet. It's been hours since he left. He said he would be back soon. But here, his phone wasn't even reachable. And Ron wasn't receiving my calls. So Maria decided to stay back, staying with my worried ass. Syl asked Ron to fix a meeting with Zolvesky. I had a feeling his sudden disappearance was related to the meeting. And that was what concerned me. Was this the same man I found the picture of? Vincenzo Zolvesky? "You can leave now, Maria. I'm fine. You need rest. I won't have any sleep until he is back home anyway." I took a lazy bite from the almond cookie in my hand. As she said once, there were jars in the cabinets filled with them as per his order. "I'm glad you consider it as your home now, Your Highness." Maria's voice made me snap my eyes to her. A gentle smile tugged at her lips. "I'm happy for His Highness. Now I know why he is so
A Hunt For His Queen Revelations
Vincenzo Zolvesky? Those dark sharp eyes in that photo flashed across my mind. So he was Marko's adoptive father? The grave silence and the darkness radiating off his stance discouraged me from asking more. But I needed answers. Why did he have his photo in that old cupboard and why did it have a red mark on it? Why even taking his name made him see red? So I walked closer to him, holding his flaming gaze. "Who is this man, Syl? I…I have never seen this much hatred in your eyes for someone. Why did you keep an eye on them discreetly and why Robert chose Zolveskys to target to get back at us? Why are they so important?" His nostrils flared. His lips curled with rage, eyes set in distance. "Because destroying him was the sole reason I lived for until I decided to give all this up. To have you." Ron's words echoed in my head. 'Boss had let go of the motive of his life that he had been fueling inside him since his childhood only to have you in his life, his heart.' Destroying

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
