Eric I was freshly showered and changed before Sienna arrived at our hotel room. It was now well into the night. As much as I wanted to let sleep overtake me, I knew that it was almost impossible. It was something I had become accustomed to.I watched as Sienna walked in and slipped off her heels with a heavy sigh. She closed the door behind her. "I am not mad at you, Eric," she said. "In fact, I have had a nice chat with Cara and I just need a nice hot bath now.""That's good to know," I said with a small smile as she walked towards the bed. I was sitting on a couch with my feet crossed on a coffee table in the large room. I held a lit joint in my hand as I ignored the 'no smoking' sign in the room.She took off her earrings and her bracelet, carefully placing them on the nightstand. Then she began to take off her dress. The view I had was perfect from where I was sitting, and I had a feeling she knew that."Do you need a hand?" I asked, smirking as I raised a brow while I tapped m
EricI smirked as I put an arm behind my head. This bed was damn comfortable. Perhaps, I would get some decent sleep tonight. Sienna tossed her phone onto the bedside table as she laid her head on my shoulder. She drew patterns that felt like little sparks with her fingers across my chest. I really hoped that she didn't feel my heart skipping a beat every so often."So, shall we address the elephant in the room?" I asked as I played with Sienna's hair. "Do we have to?" she grumbled.I chuckled. "Yes." She sighed and her hot breath moved across my skin. "I won't kill the bitch, but maybe... I will just chop one of her little fingers off," she said, referring to Maya."You can't mutilate her," I said, shaking my head as I closed my eyes. Sienna laughed, and the vibrations echoed throughout my body which in turn made me laugh."Look at you, my darling cretin, being a good influence on me. Who would have ever thought that would happen?" she said as she continued drawing circles on my
SiennaI woke up groggily. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to blink. I coughed a couple of times, and my lungs felt like they were on fire. My throat was dry, and my body ached. I shivered involuntarily as the cold seeped its way into my skin. I held in the tears that wanted to fall so desperately. I couldn't move, as I had been tied down to a metal chair. The rope on my arms had almost cut into my flesh, making my skin look red and angry. But I wasn't scared as my father had brought me up to be used to torture and violence.Where the fuck am I? I asked myself as I looked around the bleak, moldy smelling room and saw Eric tied up on a chair a few feet away from me. He was unconscious, and his head hung low. The side of his forehead was stained with dried blood and the ropes on his arms were so tightly bound that they made his usually tan skin a pale white."Eric?" I whispered in hopes that he would magically wake up. In hopes that he was fine.I tried to tug on the tight ropes that hel
SiennaMy wrists were cut and bleeding as the rope dug into my flesh. I breathed heavily as I felt sick, disoriented, and cold. The room was so cold that it was almost lulling me to sleep. But if I slept, I wouldn't wake up."Sienna?" Eric's deep voice called out as he shook his head. I felt my heart drop in relief as I swallowed a hard gulp. "Eric, are you alright?" I asked in a whisper.He opened his eyes wider and observed his surroundings. He also pulled at his ropes but he couldn't get them loose. "Sienna, what is going o…" he started to ask, stopping when his eyes landed on me. I could see something dark flash behind his eyes as he remained calm and controlled. "Where is that shithead?" he growled as he pulled harder at his bonds, not caring when the ropes cut through his skin.I inhaled jaggedly, the air stale. "He is coming back soon," I muttered, feeling nauseous at the thought of what he would do to Eric. He looked at me again. "I am sorry," he said, lowering his head.
SiennaMy breathing was heavy as I tore my eyes away from Eric. Fuck, I wanted to scream but I was paralyzed. My own body betrayed me. I could feel Dimitri's fingers crawling on my skin, like spiders as his eyes stayed on my chest. A cold finger went under my bra as he smirked evilly. No, no, please don't, I thought.I used every ounce of strength that I could muster to kick Dimitri away from me. My leg throbbed in pain and my head spun around. Dimitri grunted as he fell back, tripping over his own feet."You have Sienna weak and on the edge of fainting and yet she kicked your ass," Eric said, chuckling darkly. "That's my fucking wife."I chuckled hoarsely at the idiot. He was just riling Dimitri up, but it was something I would do if I was in that same position. As expected, Dimitri did not seem to like Eric's honesty one bit. He grabbed my hair in his fist and dragged me over to the wall. I struggled against him as I clawed at his hands. He threw me against the wall. My hair cove
SiennaThey usually said the devil wears Prada. But the devil in front of me wore leather. Upon leaving the miserable damp room we were met with an unforgettable sight."Salvatore!" Eric growled, holding me by his side. Salvatore turned his attention to Eric after eyeing me up and down. What was it with these fucking pigs? I felt the cold air against my bare skin because I only had a bra and a pair of shorts on. I felt so exposed, but I was too tired to care."I specifically told Dimitri Smirnov to capture you and that no harm was to come to you both. It seems that he didn't live up to his end of the bargain," Salvatore said, and his smooth voice almost lulled me to sleep. His face was still covered with his hood and he carried a crossbow on his back."You see, I wanted you alive because you are no good to me dead. Not yet, at least," Salvatore added as he paced in front of us, but his words didn't make sense to me. "Don't think about making a move, Eric. I will kill Sienna before
SiennaSalvatore nodded. "Precisely. You do that and I will let you walk away." His fingers grazed his crossbow in eagerness if not excitement. I knew that he wouldn't let us walk away because we wouldn't let him live. I blinked my eyes, making a lone tear run down my cheek. My lips trembled and I forced out a gulp. "Please, don't kill them. Please don't kill Maya. She is like a sister to me." I inhaled sharply making sure to shudder.Eric looked at me in perplexity as did Maya and Rocco. In fact, everyone was looking at me like that.Salvatore shook his head as he waved a finger. "That's such a pitiful show of acting. I know you hate Maya, so you cannot pick her." Fuck! How did he know? Shit."Well, it was worth a try," I said, shrugging as I wiped the lone tear from my cheek with my blood stained hand. Rocco shot me an angry look as I averted my eyes from him."Look, I will make it easier for you. I will choose for you," Salvatore said as he walked up to Rocco. "Is it going to be
RoccoI stood, frozen to the spot. Salvatore managed to get one last laugh before being taken by the sweet solitude known as death. The silence that ensued was deafening.I watched Sienna pale. Her naturally tan skin was devoid of barely any color. She had lost a lot of blood. She was injured and weak. Her body went rigid as she watched Eric collapse to the ground. Edward followed, trying to rouse his friend but he didn't respond.Sienna stared at her husband, at the man whom she loved with all her heart. I could see her heart almost shatter in two at the sight of Eric bleeding out and possibly dead.She snapped out of her daze and cried out, while emptying the bullets in her gun into Salvatore's body. Tears ran down her face. She was breaking.I ran to her, ignoring my own pain, for it meant nothing. I grabbed her, and pulled her into a hug to try and silence her rage. To try to calm her down. I pulled her into me as she cried and cried. I had never seen her cry so much. I stroked he
SiennaFEW YEARS LATER"Fucking hurry up, please!" I said to the maids who scrambled to set out the dining room. Only the best cutlery and crystal glasses were being used for the occasion. The table would be lined with a white cloth and red placemats. I walked around the room in a black dress which hugged my curves perfectly. Oh, shit, did we have enough wine? Why were we so last minute? Everything was just disorganised.Eric and I were hosting a dinner party and it was going to be so fucking good. We invited a lot of, mostly family. They would be here soon and I wanted things ready. As usual, Eric was avoiding the dining room entirely because he knew that I would be in a bitchy mood. I could understand wh, but Inwas not always moody. I picked up a glass in my hand, turned it over and placed it down when I saw it that was devoid of fingerprints.Suddenly, I felt two small hands grasp my legs tightly and I chuckled before I looking down. "You look very handsome, my little man," I
Sienna "Come on. Where is he? I want to meet my nephew," Sean said as he looked around in excitement. He was just like a fucking hyperactive little dog. I smiled at how excited he was. "This way. He is asleep, so shut the fuck up." I chuckled as I led both of them to the living room. Their eyes landed on Rocco and then at the bundle in his arms. I watched Sean gulp as he refrained from talking for once in his life. Arthur looked proud, and his posture relaxed noticeably. He would be my child's only grandparent, and I was grateful for that.They both walked over to see him. Rocco untucked Lorenzo slightly so that they could see his face. Their gazes lingered on him as they admired him. "He is tiny," Sean whispered."Babies tend to be small, idiot," Rocco said to him, chuckling. They were both so fucking stupid. "Congratulations again, Sienna. I hope you don't mind me saying, but it looks like he takes after Eric," Arthur said softly while turning to look at me.I nodded my head.
Sienna One month had passed now and I was enjoying life with my new little addition. Giving birth was incredibly painful, but it was definitely the best thing I had ever done in my entire life. I certainly didn't plan on getting pregnant, at least not so soon, but right now, I wouldn't wish it any other way.My body was still aching and recovering. I was resting. I hardly did any other thing, except for taking care of Lorenzo. I wanted to do everything. I wanted to feed him, change him and bathe him. I didn't want him to be given off to nannies and nurses like I was. He was mine and I would take care of him. He was so vulnerable, so small, and he needed me. I would always be there for him.So I was sitting on a sofa, in the warm but comfortable living room, breastfeeding my son. He had a ferocious appetite. I had to make sure I ate enough so that I would produce enough for him. I looked down at his beautiful head of hair. I brushed it so many times with my fingers, just feeling th
EricFucking hell. It was a boy. My son. Our son.My knees almost buckled as I watched the nurse taking him to be cleaned and weighed. My heart slowed down and I felt tears falling from my eyes. I let them fall as my heart swelled with happiness. "You did it!" I exclaimed, smiling down at Sienna. Her face held a gentle smile as she closed her eyes.The next hour was a blur. Sienna was checked over and she was now sleeping as she was very exhausted. The room was cleaned and I was now sitting on the cushioned chair beside her bed. I didn't know what time it was but I was fucking tired and wide awake at the same time.Shortly after, the nurse came back with a small, quiet bundle in her arms. In fear, I wasn't even breathing at all for a short moment. She smiled and told me about the baby's health. How he was strong and healthy. Perfect. She asked if I wanted to hold him and a single tear ran down my cheek. I nodded, unable to speak. Then she handed me the bundle, instructing me to make
Eric I was startled awake by Vincent who was yelling in my face. "What the fuck?" I yelled, my voice deep and husky. Why was this fucking ass here, and more so, why did he wake me up? "Why did you wake me?" I growled as I rubbed my heavy eyes. I squinted as I looked at the man who seemed panicked. When I looked across the bed and saw that Sienna wasn't there, my heart almost stopped."She told me to get you immediately," Vincent said, wide eyed, his throat bobbing. I didn't waste any time, pulling on my trousers and grabbing a shirt. As I followed Vincent upstairs, ducking my head slightly to avoid the low roof, I could hear some groans. I pulled on my shirt as I stepped out of the inner part of the yacht.I saw Sienna tightly holding onto the rail as she breathed jaggedly. I could see that her body was shaking. "What is it?" I asked her with worry. I had already forgotten my interrupted sleep by now. As I headed for her, I saw a small puddle of water beneath her feet, and her
EricI pulled at the collar of my shirt, trying to cool myself down, as I headed home after going out for a job. Italy was warmer than home but it was a nice change. The people here were very disciplined. I only had to mention Sienna's name and they would go white as a sheet. And all I could think was how I even manage to be so lucky to have her as my partner.I walked inside the house to see Sienna laying on the sofa with her legs raised on a pillow. I was surprised that she was resting. "And I said, ‘let the fucking bitch rot in hell,’ and apparently that was too harsh on the poor girl." She chuckled. I took a seat on the sofa opposite her, looking down at some faint bruises along my knuckles. Sienna was laughing into the phone, talking to Cara about how Rocco dumped his latest girlfriend.She ended the call after a while and looked at me sideways. "What?" she asked when I didn't speak. I was just looking at her, seeing her beauty, seeing her beneath it all. "Let's go out," I sai
Eric"I understand. Do you think I sent them?" Harrison remarked. "I did not. I do not have plans which involve killing either one of you. That would be outrageously stupid of me and tell me, do I look stupid to you?" Harrison continued. Who would willingly wager a war between two Mafias where both sides were as formidable as each other? Not Harrison, not I and not Sienna either. The Russian Mafia was different. They had been really stupid to think they would dare Sienna and I and actually go scot free?“He is telling the truth. His body language is sincere," Sienna said to me in Italian, and she looked into my eyes briefly. "I believe so too," I replied in Italian too.Harrison cleared his throat and we looked back at him once more. "We are leaving now. We appreciate the honesty," I said as I stood up. "Come on, Eric. Let's play one game of poker. Do this for old times sake," Harrison said, smirking. I knew that he was still fucking mad at the fact that I beat him the last time w
EricShe blew out a breath of air and waited. It was only a few more minutes before Edward arrived.I greeted him, happy to see my friend again. "I am very glad Gabriel was... well, not dead," Edward said with a chuckle. "I am glad about it too. Now, can we please go inside?" Sienna spoke up. Perhaps she was eager to meet the man or maybe she needed the bathroom, who knew? Edward caught her eye and glanced down at her stomach which carried the next Mafia boss. And he or she would be the greatest. "Certainly. It's nice to see you, Sienna," he said as he reached out for her hand. She shook his hand, much to Edward’s disappointment. He wanted to kiss the back of it, but that job was strictly reserved only for me."Let's go and beat the shit out of him." Sienna chuckled, before she walked up to the door in her white sneakers. Edward and I looked at each other, completely unfazed as we kept on walking up to the door. Harrison was expecting us, so there was no doubt that he would put o
Eric When I looked across the spacious private plane, I saw Sienna taking a nap. She lay sprawled across two large leather seats. I placed a thick blanket over her. She was apparently bored as fuck and fucking tired of my remarks.I couldn't believe it. When I lost Gabriel it was like a part of me was missing. I didn't realize how much he impacted my life until he was gone. He truly was my best friend, and a brother to me. Fucking hell. And Sienna brought him back. She also mended the emptiness I felt. She was my world. I looked at her as she rested. I wouldn't change her for anything.I picked up my phone and held it to my ear after I dialed a number. "That better not be the fucking bitch," Sienna mumbled with a yawn as she stretched her arms."That was a quick nap." I smiled. She looked at me, her eyes looking damn mischievous. She shook her head at me and stood up, holding onto the seat. "Edward, hello. As you are aware, we are meeting Harrison as soon as we land. I would app
