ISABELLA POV“It’s the Mafia and Family accounts,” I say using that as an excuse instead since he seems angry all of a sudden.“Come on Isabella!!” he yells in annoyance “I have a meeting with some business partners overseas and this is why you stop me? to speak about the accounts in the middle of a party?” he frowns in reply rubbing the top of his head in annoyanceI step back at his tone, “I just wanted to-”“There is no need, from henceforth, anything concerning the accounts, Rachel, my sister will handle and make decisions for me, you do not have to have any direct contact with me anymore” he rolls his eyes walking away leaving me sad, hopeless and a confused mess.My lips quiver and my eyes sting with tears but I don’t let them fall, when a laugh from behind me halts me, my fingers immediately wipe my eyes turning to the source of the laugh.“Oh my gosh I knew it!!” she yells with another series of laughter.“You both pretend good, I was wondering where the man that fell in love
DOMINIC POVHer face falls turning to me slightly as I walk back into the emptying house.I clutch my fingers together, my heart filling with rage, if she thinks she's having a hard time pretending with me, it means one thing.My confession meant nothing to her, she didn't love me, and that's why she was so annoyed at the idea of even faking being in love with me.I gulp the lump in my throat, ignoring every other guest that approaches me, I will have to go along with this for a while as my mother had set up a string of events for us to attend together.I enter the bedroom, shutting my eyes, I refuse to sleep here or be in the same space where we shared what I thought was the most perfect night for us.I sigh heavily walking towards the closet, I shut the door pulling on a new tuxedo when the closet door slams open, her eyes wide open at my half-naked form she turns around“Oh I’m sorry” she utters quickly walking awayI roll my eyes at her shy act, she has seen me naked, and I don’t
ISABELLA POV “I see the way you look at me, you want to drink me like the last drop of water in a dessert” his fingers trail on my back leaving goosebumps on my skin.My eyes move to the mirror, our reflection staring back at us, tension and heat filling the closet space.“I don’t-” he halts my words before I can even speak“Don’t lie to me Cara Mia, I know when you do” he says, his fingers trailing my neck down to the cleavage on my white dressMy breath hitch as he caresses the bare skin, leaving goosebumps in his wake, “Dominic-”He grips the middle of my dress, pulling the material up and cupping my breast in his hands“Dominic-” I moan out loud, but he doesn't mind me, his fingers grip my nipples in his hold, stroking them and eliciting a moan from my lips.“Yes Bella, what do you want me to do to you?” he says his eyes meeting with mine in the mirror“Mmmmh” I moan my eyes closing at his gentle caressing, his other fingers pulls down the zipper of my dress in no time, the handl
ISABELLA POVJust like he promised the night before, he didn't spend the night with me, he spent it on the couch.“So what is the order for the day?” I turn to Thelma while on the dining table.She bit her lips, “Madame Deluca did not mention another event today” she said placing the tray of food in front of me.I frown at the smell of the eggs, “Are these eggs bad?” you should really go grocery shopping” I turn my nose away She frowns deeply but carries the plate away when the dining door pulls open and Dominic makes an appearance in a suit still limping like the night before, I want to ask but I hold my tongue.“I need to go to work today” I frown, “Will there be any event I should worry about?” I send him a side look.He says nothing heading to the far end of the table to seatI roll my eyes grabbing the orange juice, “Don’t blame me if I don’t appear at your beck and call tonight, at least I asked first.”Thelma walks in with a new plate of food placed in front of me and rushes t
ISABELLA POVThe office is boring as usual, the stares from my employees had reduced before, but now they stared at me as if I would just start dancing randomly like I did at the party.“Also find out if my Father is at work today,” I tell my assistant turning back to my screen, numbers and words pile up and in a few minutes, she returns.”Your father’s assistant said your father won't be coming to work today and he will speak with you on the matter whenever you come by the house” she huffs, “It's not that serious” he also said.I nod my eyes moving to my purse on the table, I've been thinking of ideas to make Dominic catch my attention but obviously, clothes dont work only, I need to do something bigger.”A smirk graces my lips, all I have to do is call Bianca, and she will go totally crazy once she realizes it’s a club, she would do anything to attend also.“I will be leaving early today, call the driver to come around the entrance please” I turn to her shutting of my laptop and tur
ISABELLA POV“Lingerie, Toys and kink.” I read the billboard entering the space.My guards shift uncomfortably as I walk in, “you can wait outside if you want” I throw them a smile walking further into the store.The store is not empty but has a few people shyly roaming about but I know exactly what I want, an alert description that will force him to speak to me, to say something, anything but business deals and parties.I grab the largest dildo I can find, my fingers grasping numerous butt plugs even though I have no use for them, I grab a few vibrators and different boxes of lingerie.The salesgirl sends me a cheeky smile while I pay for everything.I turn down to my phone expecting a call, a message but nothing.Finally, I give up, grabbing the bags and heading back to an empty home.“Thelma!!” I yell out, bags in hand as a few maids take them off me, taking them to my bedroom.Thelma appears in a few seconds.“Where is Dominic? We have a dinner party tonight, did he say when he wi
ISABELLA POV“What in the hell are you wearing?” he whispers in my ears as I pull him into a hug.“Where is your stupid friend?” I turn to him instead, grabbing a cocktail from a passing waiter.“He’s right outside, he will be here in a few seconds, Isabella,” he says again his eyes wide like he can't believe I am the one“In the flesh” I giggle looking towards the entrance.Although a few people cover my vision, Dominic struts into the room his chest covered by a black shirt, a few buttons undone to expose his chest, and his hands in the pocket of his trouser.“He is going to kill you” Rafaelle whispers eyes wide, “I am out of here” he mummble quickly walking away truly and leaving me to fend for myself.“I am sorry I am late, I had a meeting to attend to” His clipped tone fills my ears his back still turned to me as he grabs the same man “Axel” hands in a handshake“It's fine, your wife kept us company, she made quite an entrance” he smirks pointing with his eyes behind me.Dominic
DOMINIC POVShe grabs my hand leading me to the middle of the dance floor, my eyes move around her body one more time.The lace of her dress sticks to her body revealing her beautiful shape to me, her red lips are in a pout and she lets go of my hand“Yes Bella” I moan, the shower pelting my back, my fingers wrapped around my dick in a tight grasp, I close my eyes going back to a few hours ago.She bit her lips, her fingers moving to her hair, she sends me a sexy wide smile, moving her waist in a round and sensual way.She turns around, exposing the skin of her ass to me, she bends over touching her knees and dancing to the slow Spanish musicLike a stripper she owns the stage although there are other people around us, I don't pay attention to anyone else, she totally traps my eyes on her sumptuous body.She stands moving closer to me, her fingers caressing the bare skin on my neck, slowly moving to my chest.My finger unconsciously grips the skin on her waist pulling her closer to me
ISABELLA POV Their receding footstep fills my ears and immediately the door bangs close, my brain starts to crank with ideas on what to do. I struggle with the ropes around my wrist, tears staining my face as I try to scream, move anything but Francesca tied me tightly, enough to not allow me to escape. I pant trying to stand up from the fetal postion she tied me in, but with no such luck. I take a deep breath thinking this through, they said pirates boarded the ship which means they would want some sort of settlement, I could talk to them and convince them to take me in exchange Dominic would give them whatever they request. I sigh, I would rather take my chances with them than with Rafaelle. I look down at the ropes struggling against them once more, but nothing, I decide to jump to the door, if I can bang on it with my body, then they could hear me scream or hear me fall. I roll towards the direction of the door, the chair from earlier smacking me in the side causing pain bu
RAFAELLE POV “What?” I turn around to Francesca on the floor, that was all the money we had in the ship, if she gave them everything we would be forced to stop the ship in some city giving Dominic the opportunity to find us. “She doesn’t mean it,” I say shakily turning back to the head pirate “I mean it,” Francesca says her voice strong as she turns her eyes to the Pirate, her voice is cold and tempting, nobody would deny that huge amount of money. “No..No” I turn to the pirate, “She is clearly out of her mind in fear, don’t listen to her,” I say trying to convince them “You shut up!” He turns to me, the barrel of the gun hitting my arm as I stumble to the floor in pain. I frown gripping my hand tightly as he approaches her, looking down at her form, she no longer looks scared, instead, she looks like she has some plan up her sleeve “Now I know who the real boss is, not this pitiful idiot Gideon” he turns to me with a smirk My racing heart calms down at the name, of course,
RAFAELLE POV My feet hit hard on the ship floorboards, Francesca shutting the door right behind me as she follows me up with urgency. “What are we going to do Rafaelle?” She almost yells but turns down her voice at the sharp look I send her “Dammit, our plan will be ruined!!” She says again but this time with anger on her face “I will resolve this and remember you are here for one reason,” I say pausing and turning to her, my chest rises and falls, “You are here to provide as much money as you can, we need to be able to buy off these men if it comes to worse,” I say turning around She grips my arm, “You know I don’t have that much access, Dominic controls everything” she says her voice bitter “And I don’t get my trust fund till I’m married,” she says a deeper frown taking over her features “We’ll figure it out, I’m going to deal with this shit now,” I say pushing her to the side and walking past her. My heart jumps in my chest as I reach the docks, my eyes land on several men
Rafaelle POV I pause anger in my veins at what she just did, my fingers grip her neck, ready to choke her and leave a mark in the blindness of my anger She coughs, wincing at my grasp when a thick engine sound fills my ears and the once-moving ship stops. I frown releasing her my eyes moving around the room, why did we stop? “I will deal with you later!” I spit out my voice cold. My footsteps are heavy on the floorboards, I reach the door, deciding if I should leave Bella alone. I curse under my breath banging the door, “Hey!!” I scream at the top of my lungs, “What's going on? Why did we stop?!” I yell out into the hallway. I pause waiting for a reply but only silence follows. I turn my eyes to Bella on the chair sitting calmly with an air of defiance, I needed to break her soon to get her to do what we want for the plan but she was proofing stubborn with each passing day. I sigh, “Fuck!” I curse, my eyes darting back to Bella, I didn't want to leave her alone for ev
ISABELLA POVRafaelle walks into the room, his footsteps booming as he shuts the door behind him.His eyes find Francesca while I silently chew on my food; I somehow feel Rafaelle is much more dangerous than Francesca, and he shouldn't hear me pleading with Fran for help.His fingers land on my shoulder, sending a cold shiver down my back.I scarf down the food as much as the ropes can allow me.“Ah Fran, I can see you are enjoying the company; she is the only other female on the ship.” He shrugs, a wide, creepy smile on his face.Francessca turns to him, a sly smile on her face, “Just having a quick chat with Bella here; you know how much I enjoy torturing the brat.” She rolls her eyes, standing up.Annoyance fills me. “I am not some brat for you to torture,” I say, my eyes narrowed and voice filled with anger.She pauses, her sharp gaze meeting with mine, “How dare you!!” she yells moving forward as Rafaelle moved to the kitchen.“You are nothing but a bitch Fran, that's all I see,
ISABELLA POV“Here, freshen up before I come do it for you!” Rafaelle's voice booms across the hallway, pushing the door open and dragging me inside.I stand frozen in the bathroom, thinking he is about to do something to me; he smirks, his eyes burning with intensity.“I will see you in a few minutes. There's someone right outside the door watching, so you can't run, Bella,” he spits, rubbing his beard. “Unless you want your baby dying with you,” he smirks, knowing that's what he had over me.My pregnancy.I rub my belly, happy to have the restraints removed for the meantime. I look down at my wrist, red marks staining it from being tied up these past few days.Rafaelle spits on the floor like some rabid animal before heading outside, slamming the door shut.I wince at the sound, but my heart races as I scramble around the bathroom, trying to find a weapon or anything to help me defend myself.I slam the wooden cupboard open for anything, but only toiletries are littered around.“No.
ISABELLA POVI stand frozen watching the pair as their eyes meet with each other.They quickly turn back to my shocked face.“You have got to be kidding me; this has to be some sort of joke, right?” I raise a brow at them.“Francessca?” I call out her name faintly, trying to process what is happening.A sly grin spreads on her face. “You didn't expect it, did you?”“Francesca has been truly helpful in bringing Dominic down,” Rafaelle smirks next to her, placing his arms around her.Before I can respond, they both laugh loudly together, like old-time friends.“Ah Bella, don’t be surprised,” he says, his voice dripping with amusement and laughter.My heart races and my anger boils over, my eyes narrowed at the pair, “This can't be.” I shake my head, my voice heavy with emotions.“I know you hated me, Fran, but Dominic? He is your brother!!” I yell out, my voice laced with anger at her sudden betrayal. “Dominic has been weak since he met you; our mafia gang has been suffering under his
ISABELLA POVI gaze out through the port hole, still strapped to the bed when my stomach grumbles in pain.I sigh, “Don’t worry Baby, we will be fine” I rub my tummy my eyes meeting with the doorBang... It opens with a push, Rafaelle following through the doors.“Breakfast will be served outside, but only if you respect yourself,” he says softly, his eyes following mine “You have to do as I say. You can't run or escape. We are in the middle of the sea, so there is no escape,” he smirks, moving closer to the room.“I hate you, Rafaelle. No matter what you do, I can never pity you,” I spit, my voice filled with anger.He laughs, “You will learn to love me and live with me, we will be a happy family soon, I know it,” he says sitting on the bed, his fingers moving through the ropes slowly“You are delusional Rafaelle,” I say my voice cracking in pain.“Let us go, I will introduce you to my team, the people who made everything possible, hid me away, and made sure, you or that bastard Dom
ISABELLA POV My eyes turn to Rafaelle as he yells at Grace, “This is not the time for this Grace” he says his eyes wide “What do you mean? This was the plan, to torture her and kill her!!” she yells her eyes still blazing with anger “We can't go ahead with the plan,” he says his voice filled with urgency, “we have to leave here immediately” he turns around heading towards the boxes quickly filling them up with everything he bought “What do you mean?” she frowns, her eyes filled with concern as she watches him I laugh, my voice vibrating in the room as they both pause turning to me, “He caught you, he knows his best friend betrayed him” I continue as they watch me “And he is coming for you, he will kill you Rafaelle, he will hunt you, and you won't find any escape” I laugh deeply Grace's face scrunched in anger, fear, and anxiety on her features, “You have got to be kidding me, you can't be serious right now Rafaelle” She turns to him “Is this true? Is Dominic coming h
