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 “Urgh my head” I frown the blinding sun covering my vision, my eyes pulling open. “Fuck my head!” My forehead scrunchs in a frown my fingers moving to my temple and rubbing on the slightly “With the way you drank last night, I am surprised you woke up this early” Dominic voice fills my ears, his body covering my vision and the sun brilliantly reflecting on him. “What the fuck happened last night?” I groan rubbing my head, the last thing I remember is drinking so much and dancing with Dominic. I look down at my night dress and my frown deepens, “You dog!! You undressed me!!” I yell at him pointing my finger at him accusingly His frown deepens and he rolls his eyes his fingers coming forth with a glass of liquid in his hands, “Thelma brought them over earlier this morning, Drink up before it gets cold; it will help you with your hangover.” I grab the glass, but my eyes narrow at him. “You should have left me in my outfit; I don't want you touching as much as
GRACE POV “Just a few more days,” I mutter to myself, pacing my new bedroom. Soon, I will be moving to Dominic's room, and nobody will be able to stop me. I sigh heavily, the sun reflecting down on my figure, I could swear Matilda and Dominic were talking about me last night in his bedroom but I could not hear them properly. I was sneaking closer to the room when they caught me, I pause, “I hope he doesn't suspect a thing yet?” I frown. I also can’t believe Dominic has yet to say yes to the wedding, he has been dragging his feet about it while Madam Deluca and I made preparations “I need to get him to agree to this quickly,” I mutter to myself, grabbing my purse. I need to find the man and get an answer from him quickly before our plans are destroyed. My car comes to a halt in front of his office and eyes follow my movement as I walk in. I know many of them have gossiped about me, especially after I released the news of our marriage to the press But I dont care, I'm li
Dominic POV I push the door of my bedroom open and my gaze lands on a sight that I've been dragging myself through for weeks since Bella’s kidnapping I sigh heavily, my eyes scanning the area, bottles of alcohol at the side of the bedroom, Bella’s clothes strewn across the bed where I had dragged them out in anguish, sleeping with the materials for weeks to no end. The balcony doors have been permanently shut close with a board displaying pictures and a list of suspects. My feet carry me to the board, and the feeling in my chest prompts me to reach out towards the table. I've never had a reason to suspect Grace in Bella’s kidnapping. “But maybe I should,” I say to myself, pulling out a picture of her, I turn to the board pinning it right beside Rafaelle. I mean she has motive now that I think about it and with her pushing for the wedding so bad, I have more reason to suspect her. I bit my lip nervously, I don’t know if I should straight up accuse her and then alert her
Bianca POV Just like a deer caught in headlights, Francesca runs towards me just as the elevator door opens behind me I try to run inside to close it but she grips me pulling out her phone. I grab her by the hair as the elevator doors close, shutting us away from Grace and Dominic. I try to fight, grunting slightly as I grab her by the shirt. We tumble on the floor together and she takes power over me, slamming herself against me and pushing my back into the cold metal floor She pulls out a gun from her side making me squeak out in fear “Don’t kill me!!” I yell out my eyes widening in panic. She laughs wiping the sweat from the top of her forehead, “You escaped and played right back into my trap, you are so dumb Bianca” she laughs pulling me to my feet the gun still pointed at my back “You won't get away with this, Dominic will find out, he will see the security footage” I grit out, my hands raised up in surrender She changes the course of the elevator down to the gar
Dominic POV “What are the both of you doing here?” my voice booms across the hallway, my eyes on Grace and Francesca as they whisper between themselves “Dominic!!” Grace sings, practically shouting while Francesca runs towards the elevator My eyes brows shoot up in shock at Francesca suddenly running away at the sight of me Does she think I'm angry about her taking numerous trips without my approval? I roll my eyes at that, I've been so stuck trying to find Bella that I've lost concentration on every other thing. I sigh heavily as my eyes settle on Grace properly, her eyes move between the elevator door and me as she struts towards me Annoyance bubbles in my throat and my gaze finally settles on the dress she's wearing. My eyes narrows at her impending figure, “What the hell are you doing wearing that dress?” I demand, my voice echoing off the walls She pauses looking down at the dress, “uhm, Dom, I saw the dress and thought you would like it” she says quietly her e
Rafaelle POV I stand on the deck of the ship, the wind whipping in my blonde hair. We are back on sea and on our way back to New York, I didn't know where else to go and Francesca gave no direction so this will be the best decision. And if they find Bianca they can easily bring her back to the ship My knuckles turn white as I grip the ship handle tighter, “No more playing by anybody's rules but mine” I mutter to myself I turn around heading below deck. Bella is seated at the head of the table, one hand tied to the chair and the other scrambling her fork across her plate of food. She looks up as I approach and I can see the fear in her eyes, I bite my lip, smiling slightly to reassure her but she looks away from me I sigh, one of the reasons I want to be back in New York is because I want to kill Dominic for myself, I know Francesca wants to do it but it's my revenge and I plan on taking out Dominic for good. Just as I sit down, my phone rings in my pocket. I glance do
Rafaelle POV “I need you to get Bella out of town, take her to a whole other continent I don’t care but get her out of here quickly before Dominic can get any ideas” Francesca rattles off as she walks towards the car quickly “I can't believe these idiots, one minute with her and they let her escape” My heart pounds in my chest as the evening breeze blows across my skin “Maybe if you had not sat down to drink and if you had carried her yourself we wouldn't be in this mess by now!” she yells back her eyes angry Annoyance erupts in my throat, rolling my eyes at her like she is the head of this plan, Like she controls us. I gulp, “Call Grace, I will get Bella out and I will call you when we are safe” I turn my back against her She huffs, entering the car to the private airport where she will take an urgent trip back to town, just incase Bianca heads there. My feet hit the floor quickly and adrenaline flows through my veins as I head inside the room with Bella. She's asleep
Grace POV “Yes, I want the cake to float from the ceiling down to the floor,” I say into the phone already planning the grand wedding I will have. I pace the living room and Maltilda passes by me, a look in her eyes but I don’t care about the flimsy maid, I am going to be Dominic’s wife at last. Now I just have to plan a way to get evidence against Francesca and blackmail her into killing Bella and keeping Dominic alive even though keeping Dominic alive is the last thing she needs. I smile to myself, all this wealth, money, and fame will be all mine, “Maybe I don’t even mind killing Dominic” I shrug looking over the poolside. My phone rings in my hand and I see it's Francesca, “Just the girl I want to talk to” I smirk to myself picking up the call “Are you near Dominic?” she asks her voice harsh but speaking in whispers I roll my eyes, “Nope, I am by the pool, what is it?” I narrow my eyes, “Why do you sound like that?” I reply harshly. “Bianca escaped,” she says and my heart
Bianca POV I struggle in the unknown Man’s grip as he finally lets me goBut he's not aggressive, not one of Rafaelle's men, I push myself out of his hold and I spin around ready to kick him “Woah B, calm down” he whispers his eyes moving around the alley slowly turning dark as the sun sets. My eyes settle in the darkness landing on blue eyes, “Marcus?” I call out with a frown. “What are you doing here!” I cry out my lips widening into a smile “I should be asking you” he lifts a brow at me, a frown on his face, “last I heard, you were dead, I attended your funeral” he cries out, shock clearly on his face I lick my cracked lips, my eyes on him, my heart settles and just like that, I feel safe. Marcus is an ex boyfriend of mine, from my many shoots in las Vegas, we became close but I couldn't be in a relationship with him due to my job. He was possessive and didn't want any man's hands on me and I'm a model. He was also known as a dangerous man and we were warned to not engage w
Bianca pov The two men drag me out of the room, Francesca and the old man’s laughter echoing as we enter the cold hallway. This hallway is beautiful but cold, with vintage artwork plastered on the walls. The soft hum of the conversation in the room grows fainter as we take each step back to a room, possibly where I will never see Bella again. I huff, tears staining my cheeks when I remember what Bella said. I gulp, I have to escape, I am our only hope now. “Excuse me, “ I say out loud, a hint of embarrassment in my tone. “May I use the bathroom?” I look between the two men. One of the men’s eyes flickers with suspicion, the other narrowing his eyes slightly at me as we reach the middle of the hall “Please, I really need to use the toilet or I'll just go right here,” I say my voice threatening Of course, they don't want their boss screaming at them over me taking a piss on the floor “Fine, let's take her” the one on my left grunts out and I almost jump in happiness “We ha
