SiennaMy small smile quickly turned into a scowl. "Fuck!" I said through gritted teeth. "I don't want to see him." I held back a gulp."Forgive me, Don, but your father was insistent you see him now," Cara added as she shuffled around on her feet uncomfortably. I hid my anger and rubbed my eyes. It was not Cara's fault but rather that fucking bastard's. Why did he want to see me anyway? Maybe he had more insults to give or maybe he wanted to slap me again."Fine, I will go. Eric, I do apologize for the interruption. I have to see my father," I said. Then I stood up and pushed my seat in rather aggressively."I will come with you," Eric uttered. Before I could protest he took a hold of my hand and walked me out. He took charge and it was sexy as fuck. I couldn't help but admire what he was doing. Father was truly a repulsive creature and Eric coming with me made me feel somewhat safer.I decided to leave my car behind and instead be driven to see father in one of the SUV's my guards
EricFucking hell! I thought.I watched wide eyed, not doing or saying anything as Sienna stormed out of the car. She took quick steps as she walked forward without looking back at all. She was angry as fuck. Every fibre of my being wanted to chase after her, to tell her that it would be all right, but that would be false. So long as that man breathed the same air she did, she would never be free. I clenched my fists as I growled to the driver to move. Then I looked at Gabriel. "What did he say to her?" I asked lowly. My temper was barely controlled. Gabriel coughed and rubbed his neck as his eyes darted all around the car."Gabriel," I said sternly. He knew how to speak Italian and he was within earshot when Sienna's father spoke to her. I wanted to know what he said to my wife that made her so hurt. Fuck, I needed to know. He sighed and looked at me with his palms against each other. "He said he bet Sienna has already fucked you like the whore she is," he finally said.I sat in
SiennaI stormed out of the car after I blurted out my personal shit to Eric. Why? Why the fuck did I do that? Fuck me.Cara and my guards ran after me, and I could hear the sound of their shoes as they tried to catch up with me. "Leave me be!" I roared at them in Italian. Cara stilled immediately and stopped the other guards from walking. Then she turned and left together with them. I was not in the right mood to deal with anyone and she knew that.I rushed down a random street, not bothering to look at where I was going. I panted heavily and I was close to tears. Everything was a fucking mess. What my father said was too bad. Fuck, I didn't think I could cope with it.I held a shaky hand to my chest as I tried to control my breathing. No, I couldn't cry. I just couldn't let the tears fall, no matter how I wished I could.As I walked across the road, I saw a man on a motorbike. I pulled out my gun, not caring who saw me do so, then I pointed it at the man. "Get off the fucking bik
EricAdrenaline was still racing in my veins. Watching Sienna's father die was absolutely necessary and my anger diminished along with his death. The man pissed me off, and he was a fucking disgusting piece of shit. I shouldn't even waste another second thinking about him.Now I had to deal with Sienna. I had no doubt that she had received the news about her father's death, and she was now on the way home. I ordered my men to clean themselves up and I went to do the same.I stood under the shower and closed my eyes. The piranhas may not have been enough. Her father… Fuck, he must have hurt her all her life. And I couldn't even tell because she hid it so well. No wonder she was so strong and cold. It was because she had been raised by that man.I emerged from the bathroom with a towel in my hand immediately I heard the door open. The water from my wet hair dripped onto my white T-shirt, and I stopped rubbing my hair with the towel when I saw Sienna enter into the room. My heart quicken
CaraWe were heading back to America so that Sienna and Eric could attend Marco's ball. I knew that Sienna had always avoided it but now she had to go. She didn't have any reason not to this time. I was actually surprised that she agreed to go. She could do whatever she liked, and she could have even decided not to go. I wondered why she was going. Maybe Eric convinced her to. I would have to ask her if I wanted to find out.Sienna was a dangerous woman, and her self restraint was little to none while Eric was also very dangerous. I wondered if they were a good influence on each other or not. Time would surely tell, though.I nodded at Sienna as she walked up the steps into her private plane. I watched Eric Connall walk up behind her. He was a ruthless man. The first day I saw him, I was a little afraid. He was tall and very intimidating. And powerful men, especially men in the Mafia, were particularly scary. He could have done anything to me and yet he didn't do anything at all. In
SiennaI was startled awake by a loud and gruff voice. My eyes flickered open and landed on an amused Gabriel who was staring down at me. I let out a yawn and stretched out my arms. I noticed I couldn't move so I looked down at Eric's strong arm which was wrapped all around my waist, entrapping me in their warmth. But I didn't feel trapped, not in the slightest.It was quite ironic that the man I once hated was now sharing a bed with me. Actually, I never hated him. I just hated the marriage. But now I didn't even feel awkward or uncomfortable either."What the fuck do you want?" I groaned at Gabriel as I shook Eric's arm off me and sat upright, now knowing why Gabriel was grinning at me. I rubbed my eyes, and my hair fell to my back in an unruly manner."You will be late for the ball," he informed me. He was really lucky that I liked him. I groaned as I ran a hand down my face. "I don't give a shit. It has always been my intention to be late." I smirked.Gabriel shook his head and l
SiennaI walked around the room as I headed towards the lavish food table which was stacked with many plates of hors d'oeuvres and dainty desserts as well as various alcoholic beverages. It was a party, after all.I picked up another flute of champagne and took a few sips of the sweet, sparkling drink. I also picked up a mini pastry and was about to savor it when someone's shadow came over me.I raised a brow in surprise because usually, people tended to stay away from me unless I said otherwise. I was intrigued so I turned around to face a young woman who stood with a man behind her. I didn't recall who she was, not that I cared though."Who might you be?" I asked her, not bothering about my bluntness. I took a small bite of the pastry and immediately, I almost gaggeslat the taste of it. Shit. It tasted like pure vomit. I chuckled darkly as I placed the pastry back down onto the table. Fucking Marco."You are Sienna, right? Eric's wife," the woman spat out in an annoying nasally voi
EricSienna was right, Marco's fucking suit was blinding. I couldn't bear to look at the man. She got a lucky escape and took off, leaving me with him.We walked over to a less crowded part of the room to discuss business. I had not anticipated dealing with anything business related while at this party, but here I was."So, Eric, there is this big job going down, and there is a lot of money to be made. It is an easy in-out type of job," Marco explained. Fuck, is that all? I thought."What is the risk like?" I asked, feeling quite bored. I swirled the champagne glass I still held. It wasn't my favorite type of drink but I just had to drink something. "Little to none. I thought Sienna would have told you about this," Marco said while scratching his patchy stubble."Sienna is on board," I stated but it was almost like a question. "Damn, right. That woman had bigger balls than every man combined in this room," he said and chuckled. That he was right about. I had never met a woman quit
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
