Rodrigo's PoVHow she blinked her eyes made me feel that there was someone else in her life and probably she has given herself to that person. When the Thought crossed his mind he was mad at her but didn't bother to show it since their marriage was only for a year."I am not nobody whore" she finally breaks the silence after having thought about it."Come down in three minutes"With that, I turned around and left the room heading down the stairs, and down to the dining room where Marcello was already waiting for me. Juan Carlos had some business to take care of and wasn't joining us. There was going to be a celebration tomorrow night and we were expected to have our first dance together. My Grandmother will be having some friends over and they will want to see her perfect Grandson perform one of his best moves. It was something that I wasn't looking forward to but couldn't say no since it was my Grandmother asking and no one else."Isabella!" That familiar voice piqued my interest as
Rodrigo's POVWhen I heard the gunshot, Marcello and I glanced at each other once again before walking to the living room, and right there I saw Jennifer holding a gun but this time she wasn't pointing her gun at anyone but to her head. I can feel Isabella's flew open as her heart races. When our eyes locked together she threw a death glare at me. What did I do this time?"What are doing?" I asked. First was Isabella and now it was Jennifer. What's it with these women?"It was me you wanted" She was looking at Marcello and he glared at her but deep in his eyes was another emotion that I just couldn't make out at the moment. "Why didn't you just take me and leave him alone? Why did you have to go after him because of you he is fighting for his life. He is the only one that I have yet Because of you there is a chance that he might not make it and if he does, the doctors are saying that he will be unconscious" She was embitteredMarcello should really know when to use a gun. I had to ta
Jennifer's POV"No Don, I won't apologize to him" I stated my lips firm. Perhaps, I might have crossed my boundary by dragging his mother into this but he was the one who kept provoking me. I never knew anything about him till the day I met him at the club and he offered to buy a drink for me but I turned him down. There was something about him that I just couldn't put my fingers around, when I saw the tattoos on his body, I realized that he was part of the Cartel and I needed to stay away from him. When I was little, I got kidnapped and though a man who was part of the Mafia's Family had saved me back then, I just hated them. The killings made me sick to the stomach, I couldn't stand it all but I couldn't object either since I worked for Don Rodrigo. It was on his Grandmother's recommendation that I got hired for his wedding. I thought the Don was the most horrible of them all till I met Marcello. After I turned him down and went to dance with another man, he shot him and framed hi
Jennifer's POVWhen the familiar voice echoed through the office, I exhaled deeply. It felt like an angel had just arrived and was going to save me. "Let her go now!" He ordered this time his lips were firm."Juan Carlos" Marcello scoffed, lowering his hand as he turned to face the figure who was standing behind him. "I see you are back""I see you are still the same old bully, Why don't you go and pick someone half your size""Why don't you mind your own business""She is my business because you are hurting my friend, let her go now!" "You better tell your friend to stay away from me""I always stay away from you and you know that"He glared at me for talking back to him. Wasn't I supposed to talk back to him? How can this fellow be human? I shook my head looking at him as he took a step backwards. "Are you alright?" Juan Carlos asked as he rushed over to me offering me his hands for support so that I could stand up. "Thanks but I got it" I wanted nothing more to do with these Ma
Marcello's POVWhen I locked eyes with her, she jumped almost to move away from the arms of that Man. However, on second thought, she wondered why she was acting like a child who was caught trying to steal money to buy candy from her mother's purse.The look in my eyes must have frightened her for a moment. Nevertheless, when she remembered Rodrigo's words, she knew she had no reason to be afraid of me. But she got it all wrong, I was the one who was not scared of what Rodrigo would do to me. I was used to his punishment and wouldn't blink an eye since he was doing it so that others wouldn't undermine his authority as the Mafia King."Are you alright?" He asked her, acting so concerned which only made my blood boil in a manner that I couldn't fathom. Right there, I couldn't take my eyes off her, I should hate her for being such a tramp. The Last time it was with another man and today it was with another, she was kissing him so shamelessly out in the open when she was next to her brot
Jennifer's POVShawn had been acting up ever since Marcello dared to show up. I had no clue why that egghead had to come close to me. He must be out of his mind coming close to me and demanding that I don't have a drink.However, I was more worried about Shawn, After Marcello left, he made me look like a fool, I was literally throwing myself at him but he wasn't even looking my way. He was mad at me for lying to him that I didn't know Marcello. How could I be so stupid? Of course, he knew who he was, everyone else knew that he worked for Don Rodrigo. Words on the street were that he was a devil and no one wanted to have anything to do with him especially me. Anger seeped through me that he ruined my night yet I just still couldn't do anything, when that woman danced for him, I felt disgusted. I will never be like her, I will never dance for him no matter what happens, he was insane if he dared assume that I was going to dance for him, he was nothing but trash and I was going to disc
Marcello's POVWhen the sheet fell from her chest, it felt like a dream come true. However, she tries to cover her breasts from my burning gaze, a gesture that I assumed was stupid since I have already seen it and had imagined so many times sucking on that well-defined breast. Her red nipples pointed at me and I knew it was calling out to me to bring my lips closer. I can only imagine the things that I wanted to do to her."You are so beautiful" I caressed her cheek, kissing her earlobe down to the nape of her neck, and a soft moan escaped her lips. "Jennifer" I lifted her jaw staring Into her eyes, I wasn't the only one who had done that. She was about to turn her face to the other side when I ravaged her lips once again, the kiss was hungry and wild, inflamed with desires that I hadn't had in a long time. I wanted to eat her without Jennifer even being aware of it.My powerful hands ran up and down her beautiful body, brushing against her intimate secrets. I laid wet kisses on her
Rodrigo's POVMy blatant Stare didn't waver as I waited to hear the name of the woman who made him keep me waiting. "It is no one serious, just some whore I dug around and found in the club"He seems to be lying in the manner that he was blinking his eyes. Who was he with? I became even more inquisitive. I want nothing more than to see him with a woman who will hook his heart. That way rumors about him being a devil will stop spreading around the Cartel. Marcello has been through so much as a child, and I wanted nothing more than for him to be happy."So tell me, is this whore special to you? Does she make your heart flutter?"He chuckled. "There is no such thing as heart flustering, I don't even have a heart and don't believe in something so stupid as love. Why will I fall for a whore, who is meant to be used and dumped? She is nothing but something to be passed around with" He stated firmly, but by the corner of his eyes, I saw the emotions running through his eyes. He was having a
Rodrigo’s povI stared into space standing at her doorstep and contemplating if I should just knock or ring the bell and then I finally settled to ring a bell. It was just as I expected when I rang the Bell, Jada opened the door with a smile on her face, with how she smiled widely, I had a feeling she was expecting someone, perhaps, the boy who had been flirting with her. I have been watching them since I lodged in the hotel that was close by, but I decided to stay away just to give Isabella some time before finally coming over to pick up my portrait that she had taken from my study, which was just an excuse for me to see her as well and talk to her. Jennifer told me that she was still confused about this whole Carmen's situation and I had to tell her the truth so that she does not think that I cheated on her because I never did.“ Are you waiting for someone?”“ No one” She shook her head and stepped out of the way for me to get into the house.“ Jada, who is it?” That was Isabella’s
Isabella’s pov“Mother” my eyes crowded with tears as I stared at the woman who had given birth to me, I thought she was sick and wouldn’t be able to get back with us but looking at her right now standing with my father it seemed as though she was already healthy.“ Isabella” she whispered and that was when I realized that she was really alright and nothing was wrong with her and me, my feet moved gently and I quickly ran into her arms and embraced her tightly as though she would disappear if I let her go.“ What happened? How are you alright? the last time that I saw your picture it seemed as though you were never going to make it, and you will never be healed again”“ That young man provided the best doctors for me and I had to go abroad with your father” What young man was she talking about? I was confused. no one told me about this and all the while I would ask for Rodrigo, he would ask me if I wanted to talk to them but I would say no because it would be too much for me to bear.
Isabella’s povRodrigo allowed me to go on a trip to Jada and even though that should be the best time of my life it seems as though it wasn't. Jada was at the beach and I was in the house watching a show that I wasn't really interested in so I kept thinking about him all the time. Picking up his mobile that I had taken from the study, I ran my index finger on his face and smiled, if there was anything about Rodrigo it was the fact that he was the only man who was capable of making me happy, and despite everything that happened between him and carmen I was still very much in love with him even without me admitting it. When the door closed right behind me I realized that Jada was back home, I thought she was going to spend all day at the beach.“ You are back”“ And you have been staring into space again, you know if you miss him so much, all you have to do is just say it out loud and then I'll have him come over here and the both of you can make up then having you staring into space t
Rodrigo’s povIt was late, and by the time Marcello returned home, I had to head back into the room to go be with Isabella, I could not bear to leave her alone even for a moment. She moved out of the room but then I could not let her sleep alone so I slept with her in the same room. hearing footsteps approaching she could tell it was only me and did not bother to look up as I drew closer to the door, she sat on the vanity mirror staring at the reflection of herself.“ What are you thinking?”“ Don't bother me and just go to bed” She was saddened and was in a state of upheaval, I could see that.“How many times do you want me to apologize for what happened? I'm really sorry for everything and wish that I could go back in time, and then I would never have done that. you don't know how bad I feel that you have to be the one who is suffering. I love you, Isabella” She does not say a word and I know that she loves me as well, but then this was not even the right time to make such confessi
Marcello’s povRodrigo was sitting on the stool in the bar sipping his favorite drink when I walked up to him, he was not happy I could tell by how he stared into space. It has been days since Alejandro and his Cartel fell apart, and that woman Carmen was killed. Everything should be back to normal but then it seemed as though it was falling apart and Rodrigo’s marriage to Isabella was slowly crumbling down, I had no clue what to do, and when Jennifer tried to talk to Isabella they ended up arguing. she has not really been herself ever since the attack with Alejandro. he left her traumatized and she had been in shock for some days that she did not eat or talk, but the doctor visited her and Rodrigo made an appointment with the hospital, she needed help and so he gave it to her. but then she was mad at him for having let that woman kiss him and could never forgive him, she saw what she saw but we all know that Rodrigo will never do that to her, he was madly in love with her when she w
Isabella’s povI've never been so furious in my life like the way I am right now. This man wasn't a monster, he was a beast for even admitting that he loved blood.“ You are sick, I swear that something is wrong with you” I quickly kicked him attempting to get away when he grabbed me and ripped apart my shirt. my eyes widened and I was speechless for a moment, but then I knew that if I did not fight him he was going to end up forcing himself on me. He lashed his lips on my neck, kissing me while I struggled pushing, kicking, and scratching, trying to get him away from him, but he was so strong that he wouldn't budge. I wondered what monster was this, I was sure that he was going to leave marks on my fragile body, the wet kiss that he laid on my skin made me so disgusted that I almost puked, but then I knew that I needed to concentrate on him and not get carried away otherwise he will be able to live up to his dream and make me be disgusted with myself.If he ever has his way with me I
Isabella’s pov“No! Please don’t do this” I pleaded with him but then he did not listen and was more concerned about taking me against my will. I have always known right from the first time that I set my eyes on him that he was a monster and capable of anything, but I never expected that he would go this far to try and get to me.“ Open your legs” he ordered and I glared at him even though I was still pleading with him with my eyes.“ I can't”“ You can't or you won't”“ I can't and I won't” I was firm and that made him grab my jaw and squeezed it so hard that I felt the pain right in my head. So many times I whispered Rodrigo’s name in my head hoping that he would come to my aid and save me from the hands of this monster, otherwise I might fall and never be able to get back up again.“ I told you to be nice and I will treat you nicely but it seems as though you don't listen. If you do that to Rodrigo and he tolerates it, don't do it to me, I will Not tolerate such an attitude from y
Isabella’s povI was terrified when he threw me on the bed, but then I knew that I needed to get rid of this fear to focus, damn it was going to get his way with me and that would not be good.“ You got some nerve saying that to my face don't”“ You are the one who wanted to know so I had to tell you the honest truth, did you want me to lie to you? You said I should be honest and that was what I did, why are you making a big deal out of it?”“ I want you, I want to have you right now When he said those words I wished that someone could come in and put a bullet right through him so that he won't try anything stupid.“I already lost everything but I cannot lose you as well. That bastard Rodrigo fought back and now I will have to do to you what I've always wanted. I don't care if I lose everything as long as I have you, I'm okay with that. But what I cannot take is to see Rodrigo with you. The last time that I saw you two together, I almost wanted to kill him, but then it wasn't a close
Isabella’s povIt was the middle of the night when I heard voices coming from the hallway, I was terrified as I grabbed the white sheet and clutched it against my chest, I was so desperate for him to appear immediately and save me from this nightmare, but then my thought was quickly interrupted as the doors were just flung wide and Alejandro stepped into the room, he was Furious. the look in his eyes was frightening and at that moment I was frightened as I saw those darkened pupils. if it was anyone else who had walked into my room, I would have asked them what had happened, but a man like Alejandro was the least of my problems, I know it has something to do with the war he had going on with Rodrigo or the fact that his business must be failing since he was a drug lord in the city of Mexico.“ Do you want to smoke with me or perhaps drink with me?”“ I don't drink and I don't smoke” I was wondering why he was asking me such a silly question when he was aware that I don't engage in dri
