56“Let’s make a baby, love,” he moaned in my ear and bit it. I processed what he said, my eyes were holding his vulnerable side and I was undeniably getting a stronger pull toward him, maybe because of our marriage bond, I believed when spouses accept each other from hearts, they feel an indubitable attraction towards each other and it was happening in our case. My hands cupped his face, his eyes were lowered, “I demand your eyes up, Armando. Look at me and repeat me you won’t dishonour me anymore and take me as your true wife. Promise me you will behave human and you will protect me and your offspring, you won’t make them inhuman creatures. I’d been through a ride of hell and I don’t want to fight anymore, Armando, I need a normal life, a life every girl has a right to life. A year and half months back, I didn’t know that a mafia man would fall in love with me and I will stand here but here am I, so I want you to choose... Today, you need to choose between me or your killing obsess
57Last night was unexpected. I couldn’t think of anything else than the inevitable mistake I made last night from the moment I woke up on his bed, I revived the moment happened between us and realized I willingly had sex with him four times, four bloody rounds and these messed up bedsheets and torn pillows screamed at me how rough last night must’ve been. I buried my face in my hands, regretted every second of what I signed up for myself and what would come next was absolutely clueless, either I had to bear a cold Armando or completely different of what I just said,I was constantly scolding myself, I literally had no idea why I agreed on having intercourse with that man last night, I was having soft corners for him but that didn’t mean I had agreed on having sex with him or forgiven him for every sin he committed. Calling myself shocked was an underestimation, it was above words. But one thing I was sure of, somebody was drugging me, Viagra was in my system that made me do this. I p
58I ran out of the office, praying that I would catch him before he ran away. He was Nathan’s spy and I was sure of it. You’ve to catch him at any cost. You’ve to at any cost, Lana! That’s what I’d been hearing in my mind. I forced my legs to make it before he escaped, I flashed from the corridors and stormed to outside, reaching to the front side of the garden, my focus was on the backside of it. Lana, run faster, he will escape and we can’t lose him. Subconsciousness is reminded again and again. It was like I was running for my life, I scanned him as long as my sight went in the field, but unfortunately, I lost him from where he was. Of course, he was sharp to dodge the security. “Lana!” I heard Nancy screaming my name, I turned around to check out, she was running my way, I frowned, behind her were men following the direction, Okay, I’m not escaping again. Trust me. “What were you chasing?” She asked, panting for breath.“I…” In lost of excuses, “There was a squirrel, I came to s
59Warning: This Chapter Extremely Presents Sexual Acts, Please Read It At Your Own Risk.“Are you ready for tonight, Mrs De Luca?” he whispered. My lips were parted and it was all over my face that I was not ready to answer this question, was he asking me to get prepared for him? Well no… but yes somewhere deep down too -after constantly catching clue about Nathan was losing my faith in him-. I couldn’t understand my emotion that moment, it was like I wanted to say no but my heart held my tongue and I was unable to reject him, my heart was craving his touch and shouting at me to accept his offer -which should be the last thing in my mind- but unfortunately, it was the one ruling all over. I was at a loss of words, what should I say to him, I’m on my periods? I feel nauseated? Oh God, Lana, think fast, he was looking up to you for an answer, say something for your safety’s sake, I turned my eyes at him, he was reading my face and it was clear on his face he could clearly read my te
60Three Weeks LaterThree weeks. Were these three weeks real? Nothing had been more peaceful than these 21 days. I’d never thought Armando would act this way. He actually took care for me as a concerned husband and let me live freely. He isn’t anymore the Armando I knew a year and a half back. That Armando was my rapist but this one is my protector, my lover. He took me on dates, went on shopping with me, fed me with his own hands, slept with me with his hands around me, made love to me so passionately that his soul touched my heart every time. All of this was magical. Last week I got to know I was one week pregnant with his baby and that week we had multiple rounds of sex, all night long until sunrise peeked through the opaque curtains. When he got the news, his happiness was out of control. He became overly protective of me and spoiled me like a baby. After the pregnancy announcement, he started taking me on midnight long-drives on the roads of Spain instead of his bed. From our
61“Do Something! Do Something, Hurry Up!” It had been five minutes since I was hustling in the room and forcing my head to think of an idea to save Julianna, he wounded her throat just to blackmail me and it won’t be hard for him to turn his words into reality, I won’t be able to take Julianna’s blood on my conscience, I needed to think fast otherwise he’d kill her! Oh God, help me! What should I do? Tell Armando? No, he might be tapping my calls. Then I can clue Armando about this face-to-face… Hell no, he has men spying on us. Ah… then what should I be going for!? I picked my phone from the bed and redialed the unknown number, it was ringing and after a moment, a manly voice spoke, “Hello, little one, I was waiting for your call for ten minutes, what took you so long?” Nathan’s tone hinted me he was infuriated a bit. “You have everything to do with me, why are you hurting her? What do you want from my family? Leave her alone!” I gnashed, my tone was enough to tell him that I wa
62I caught my senses coming back to life, why did my body feel so burdensome? Like somebody was pulling my soul out of my toe and I couldn’t do anything instead of going through with the intolerable pain. And my head was on constant hammering, It was like that. I tried opening my eyes for my best but it turned out I had to do immense wrestling. I finally fought my pains and was forced to open my eyes, first, everything was blurry but eventually with time, it settled down and I got my sight somewhat stable. I glanced around to detect the place but it was unknown to me, then my mind clicked. I was once again drugged by my first love. I threw my head down, disappointment was getting the best of me and I kept scolding about everything I felt for that man, now, I regretted it deeply. “I see you’re up, love,” The voice that I least wanted to hear made its way to my ears. A grumpy dwarf innerly-growled at him in my head and I raised it to see him unfortunately, he was looking usual; tidy
63I felt a wild flash of lust mingling around my blood, the desire every second hoisting in my body was a misery, however, I kept cursing myself for the thoughts I began to have. The sudden change in my skin had given me the most incoherent time of my life, my emotions were not in my control, The sense of hatred was getting replaced with lust and desire. I literally carved dreaming about a hard dick inside me along with another voice pulling me back somewhere in my head. I was scolding myself to remain straight, but the water was already raised above my head and I knew it already I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to my baby in my womb. “Nathan, what do you do to me?” I narrowed my eyes as the veins of my head literally tightened; causing me a severe headache. Nathan was busy in unknotting ropes around me, “I did what was right,” He said as he freed of from the ropes and hoisted me up in his arms, I was too feeble to deny his touch, It felt like if I wouldn’t

I knew I would be stabbed by Nathan’s cousin who’s jealous of me or who would accuse me of seducing him. Maybe, she would throw me in the river like my intuition tried to tell me but I ignored it lately. I should’ve considered my gut feeling rather than Nathan’s request. Look, where I stood; in the mouth of death. I tried to struggle in her hold but she roared at me, keeping me in the hold. I tried to shout but it wasn’t loud enough to call for help. I thought she would push me any second but the hope of survival arose when the sirens started to buzz, deafening us to death. Within seconds, there was an army steadied to kill this culprit. Their weapons were locked on their target and the voice that soothed me came across my ears. “Leave her alone!” Nathan shouted at the top of his lungs. My breath started to
102LanaI wasn’t ready for this night. My heart was racing horribly in my ribcage. Something was not right, something would go wrong and someone was going to pay for it terribly—maybe this child in my womb. Maybe tonight I would be stabbed by one of Nathan’s bitchy cousins who would accuse me of seducing him, just like Armando’s cousin did back in Spain. I prayed to God for the abortion and yet I tried to convince one of the doctors during the clinic visit but no one agreed without Nathan’s approval. My heart just said this child won’t see this world. It would die. I just didn’t want to go through with the stabbing pain once again. I wasn’t that strong to bear pains anymore. I had enough and if this time, anyone would try to harm me, I would end myself with my sinful hands. This was it, this was the solution to end my problems. Maybe, after all the while God wanted me to end myself. He gave me enough clues yet I delayed realising them. It had been three hours since I was continuou
101Next Week Somewhere In LondonNathanIt’s a beautiful feeling to be a dad again. I waited long enough to feel this moment again, yet I had never known that I had to force the pregnancy on a married woman—but it was written to happen under such circumstances and I should be less guilty about it. All because Lana left me no choice. Moreover, not only I was happy because I would be a dad again but also that it was time to finally eradicate that motherfucking Armando and his two carbon copies from the earth. Lana wouldn’t have to bear much pain once she would give birth to our baby. Those little devils would be gone and my little human will replace their space in my queen’s heart.Everything was going perfect the way I wanted and sure enough, it would end the same way I planned—except the culprit’s escaping part. Armando’s breakout wasn’t on the list yet he successfully flew away, killing four of my men in the process which he will pay really soon as I got the lead about his whereabo
100LanaIf it’s true then I was gone. I was busted to live anymore. If Armando was to hear about this I would be much more than trouble. Pregnant? With some other man’s child? I did everything to avoid it. I even bribed Mary to steal birth-control pills for me, how come I got pregnant. Argh, I wanna vanish my existence. If the pregnant part was real, I would really jump off the cliff. I couldn’t prepare myself for the bloodlust of my children or this foetus. This unborn had to die or Armando would kill him and me. I knew how far he could go. He was a maniac in my case. And as far as he was possessive about me being only his. I could predict I would pay a big price for Nathan’s deed. “Good to see you, Mr. Knightley, how may I help?” Malinda’s voice rang in my ear like a driller screwing my head. Though she had a velvet voice but right now, she was the person I needed to stay away from. Her clicks of heels grew louder as she came closer to me and Nathan who had been playing with my h
99LanaPhew. Thank God I successfully got control of the situation before I could finally be thrown to the bed and lost my chance for a dinner outside of this room. It had been fifteen minutes since leaving the house. I was sitting on the passenger seat beside Nathan who was driving his posh Lamborghini. It was the smooth black ride up in the mountains and the view I was having all the while was completely mesmerising. The street lights and the moonlight seemed like having a competition to glorify the route for me tonight. I would’ve enjoyed this moment even more if Nathan would be in his casket like he should’ve rather than driving the car like my man. I sighed at this thought. The pleasant feeling in my chest faded away with realisation of Nathan’s presence. I couldn’t just swallow the thought that I used to die for this man once, I even prayed to see him again when I had affection for him. But the very affection died when Armando started becoming a man of my dreams. He deliberat
98Lana“Speak,” Leone said with the second line connected. My heart palpitated but I overcame my growing anxiety. “Leone, It’s Lana…” I enlightened him. “… They imprisoned us separately for months. I had no connection to Armando even though I tried to encounter him once, Nathan had security at every step. I am not sure if he’s still in his torture cellar or they have done something to him or sent him to God knows where,” I ran my mouth like a bullet train, giving him no chance to speak. “Is everything good on your side?” The second I asked this question had me panicking inwardly. “We are drowning, my lady…” he said in a monotone but the effect his words brought was enough for sinking my heart, “…Our businesses are being sealed by the board for illegal conspiracies. Someone had cracked our shares in the underground sector and we are losing our men count. Our weapons are being stolen from the ports and many more harm’s been done. Everything is out of order. We lost three hundred me
97LanaNathan caught me faking my sleep. I had my eyes closed when he came near and sat beside me on the bed. He didn’t do anything for ten minutes, just quietly sat there and admired me from afar—that’s only what I could get with my eyes closed. But later, I felt his thumb striking with my cheek that ascended inside the blanket and he ended up scooping his hand inside my panties, rubbing my core and wetting me. When he slid a finger in me, I moaned and my eyes wide-opened. I gawked at him with astonished eyes. “What the heck, Nathan, leave me for God’s sake,” I huffed, disapproving his touch in between my moan and got his hand out of my pants, for a fact I hated reacting to his touch so intensely, that makes him full of himself a little more every time. He honestly knew all the perfect spots—but this time his perfection wasn’t my main focus. It was basically the fact that I had a phone and key hidden in my socks that churned my stomach for bad.“I was checking if you were still hot
96Two Months LaterLanaTwo months. A heck of a long time that I spent in a single gigantic room as a hostage. These fucking two months had me crying, screaming, begging for help, pleading for mercy and at last swearing at Nathan for being an asshole with me. I never thought Nathan could be like this. He raped me often. Yes, I would call it rape. He didn’t care what I said to him he only wanted to be inside me thrice a week.He provided me with clothes, food, Netflix and everything any other girl would desire but I was more interested in being able to breathe freely. Moreover, I missed my kids. Not even a single day passed by without me weeping for them. I never left them alone. I didn’t know if Sebastian reached home safe to Nancy or not.I was only stuck here for nothing and I see this situation going to nowhere good. I was hugging my knees, trying to think of a breakout for the thousandth time since two months. This time my escape wasn’t easy because I wasn’t sure if they kept Arm
95Lana“Then, I can even make you have dozens of kids containing your blood just now,” Nathan stated fearlessly. I blinked twice as his words sank in my stomach, each word containing tons of heavy metals that felt like ripping through each ounce of my soul.Making babies appeared to be a joke to him. How could he mock something sacred so efficiently? He wasn’t like this before. I remembered him as someone gentle and considerate yet now, he was portrayed to be cold and selfish. “I don’t want to believe in my ears, speak something real, Nathan,” I replied, foggily. “Do my face tell you I'm joking to you, Lana? If children are the only reason that’s bonding you with that generational motherfucker, then I shall eliminate the root cause and set you free,” I wanted to believe that it was Nathan speaking with such a grudge but somewhere my heart denied. His awful mindset was making him loathe myself for falling for him once. Maybe God saved me from an absolute devil through a qualified de
