MeganIt's been a week and Lorenzo hasn't called or even left me a message after that day at his office. I have a feeling he is avoiding me or did he really go on a business trip? I haven't heard a word from or about him. Things were really going well between us. Well, that's until I opened my mouth and spewed nonsense. Even with his absence, he makes sure that everything is handled from someone to drive me around to take care of my father. The more he is nice to me, the more guilt I feel. Our marriage was just a deal but I seem to be getting too much out of this deal than Lorenzo is. “ You seem troubled.” My father comments, jolting me from my thoughts. “ Is this about that Massimo guy?” He adds and I shake my head. “ What makes you think I'd be troubled by him?” I ask back, unwilling to admit it. I know that papa will not like it one bit if he finds out that I am getting distracted thinking about Lorenzo while still around him. “ I told you Megan, stay away from that man.
I turn around to be faced by a grinning Javier. His smile however drops when he scans my outfit, replaced by a scowl. " What are you even wearing?" He asks and I glare at him. " Am I supposed to walk naked?" I ask him sarcastically and his face lights up with a teasing smirk." If you want, you can get naked for me."I roll my eyes at his absurd suggestions. I still can't believe this is the same man I was married to for three years. He seems to have transformed into a totally different person. Or perhaps this was always him and I just didn't know him too well as I thought. " You have changed. " I find myself casually commenting. Javier chuckles. " This is the real me Megan. You just didn't see me for who I am. " Javier shots back. " Is this where you would come and lie to me that you were in some business meetings? " I don't even know why I am asking this. Maybe I just want to hear the truth from his lips. But, then what? What follows? " You know what, don't answer that. Tell
I don't know what came over me when Megan said those words to me. Anger, frustration... all those emotions stirred inside me and I lost it. Slamming my lips against her, I kissed her ferociously.She didn't kiss me back at first. She was frozen in shock. That gave me a chance to force my tongue into her mouth. The shock of my tongue entering her mouth seemed to jolt her back to life. She began to kiss me back with as much passion as I was showing her. Her arms wrapped around me and our tongues dueled.We had kissed many times before but something about how she was kissing me was... I don't even know how to explain it. It's as if she was tasting something she had longed for her entire life and was now finally allowed to taste. She was kissing me with a ferocity that was so overwhelming, my mind couldn't process what was happening.The next thing I knew, my hands were gripping the back of her head and my fingers were weaving through her long, golden-blonde hair. Her hands were on my che
MeganI don't know what came over me after Lorenzo kissed me. That one kiss arose intense desire from within me. It was as if all of the stress that I had been enduring was released through our lips. The feel of his tongue sliding into my mouth and the taste of his saliva made me crave for him even more.Lorenzo's hands explored my body and it made me feel like he was the only man I would ever need in my life. I wanted him.And... I spoke my mind which led me to being rewarded an earth shattering orgasm. When he asked whether I was ready for his cock which was so rock hard already, I nodded without hesitation. I need him. I fucking need him to dominate me and remind me how it feels to be owned by him. One week without seeing him or getting his cock, I had been aching to feel his cock inside me.My fingers, although pleasurable, just don't compare to the size and girth of his manhood.Lorenzo spun me around, pressing my body on the wall and spreading my legs wide apart. The sound of
Megan Last night was magical. It was everything I never dreamed about yet desired.I don't know what came over me, all I know is that at that moment, the only thing I thought about was having him. All of him.I wanted Lorenzo. A man who is a decade older than me. Or maybe, that's what makes him more desirable.Lorenzo is everything you would want to stay away from. Probably run a mile when his name is mentioned. He is Lorenzo Massimo, the Don of one of the Chicago crime families. He is a mobster, that's what he is yet last night, all that escaped my mind and I found myself asking for more. Ànd more.Ànd more he did give me. When I woke up by his side in the morning, my father's words struck me, reminding me of my reality.Lorenzo and I can never be more than what we are on paper, a contractual couple.Last night gave me an illusion. An illusion that it was all real; what happened between us.It pushed me to a suspicion. Heck, I don't even know if it's a suspicion anymore but…I can't
LorenzoWhen I open my eyes the following day, I realise that I am alone. Megan left. Something bitter spurs inside me yet I can not tell what it is. I prefer my women to understand that apart from the good times we have at night, there's nothing more between us so leaving before I wake up is the best option. Yet I don't appreciate waking up alone.Am I losing my mind or is my obsession towards Megan getting out of hand? Back at the house, I always leave her bed after we are done for the night. Although we are married, we don't live like a married couple. That was stated clearly in the papers. Shoving the foreign feelings down my throat, I leave my bed and get dressed for the day. Since I spend time here at the velvet house, I get some of my clothes stashed in here for convenience. It would be too tiring to have Hugo deliver clothes every time I have my night outs. After making sure I look decent, I leave the room to find Hugo waiting for me outside my suit. “ Slept like a bab
Javier glares at me, his eyes holding too much hatred. I am not fazed though. I have seen that look pretty many times to care about it. Instead, I give him a malicious smile.“ I think you have it all figured out, my dear nephew.”The dirty look the bastard is giving me tells me he has an inkling why he is tied up and beaten in my warehouse.“ Grandfather doesn't allow members of the family to hurt each other.”I smile at his words. Now he thinks he can use the old man's words to get away with shit? I'd be a fool to let that happen.“ Oh really? If I remember, the same old man forbids family members from threatening each other. So tell me, Javier. What do you think your punishment will be for threatening my wife?”That gets a reaction out of the young one. I don't think he expected to be found out. But his mistake was thinking that I wouldn't know his stupid ass had threatened the most precious being in my life." Does grandfather know she was married to me? And that she is not part o
“ I believe you have something for me?” I ask, successfully changing the topic.Hugo nods, walking to the table and passing a file to me.“ This is all we have about the Gambino family. Just as you thought, the Gravano family is doing business with them.”I am not surprised to hear that. I'd say the Gambino family and the Gravano family have something in common; they are corrupt and greedy bastards.But the question remains, if they are already working with the Gravano family, why did they approach our company?“ I think those two are planning to screw us over.” Gino suggests.“ I have that feeling too. Do you know what's even more strange, then meeting with your nephew.” Hugo adds, his eyes trained on me.I ball my fists. That fucker! Meeting with the Gambino's behind my back? What is it that he wants to achieve by going against me?" I should have just slit his throat earlier, damn it! " I slam my fists on the table, sending a few items scattering on the floor." Did I miss some fun
Megan povTwo years laterSometimes, life plays out differently than we expected or planned. As I stand before the mirror, admiring the woman reflected in the mirror, I can't help but smile. Sic years. That's what it took me to realize that the only place I belonged to was by Lorenzo's side. And today is that day we are gonna tie the knot and unite in holy matrimony. What started as a contract marriage is transforming to something special and beautiful. The past two years have been nothing but eventful. About a year ago, I gave birth to our second child, a son. When we learnt about my pregnancy, Lorenzo wanted us to get married immediately. I didn't like the idea of wearing my wedding gown with a bulging belly. It didn't help that I had a lot of work to do. From managing my fathers company in Chicago to my own company in Vegas. Lorenzo was also busy with the real estate project his company was working on in Vegas so we agreed to hold the wedding at a later date. After all, in the
MEGAN’S POV Katalina stirred her cappuccino, watching me over the rim of her cup with a smirk that I didn’t trust. “How long has it been since you started living together?” she asked, her voice laced with curiosity.I leaned back in my chair, letting the scent of roasted coffee beans and vanilla swirl around me. My favorite coffee shop, my favorite corner, and yet, she had dragged me out of my office, claiming I was overworking myself.“Three months,” I said, smiling as I traced the rim of my cup with my fingertip. “And it still feels like yesterday.”Three months since I moved back to Chicago. Three months of waking up beside Lorenzo, of feeling his warmth seep into my skin, of watching him keep every single promise he had made to me.Lorenzo wasn’t just loving—he was attentive, as if he had memorized my every need and made it his mission to fulfill them before I even realized what I wanted. He treated me like a queen, making up for every second we had lost.I lifted my cup, craving
MEGAN’S POV I couldn’t even remember how the rest of the evening played out because Lorenzo was glued to my side like he was afraid I’d disappear. Every time someone tried to steal a moment with me, he would find an excuse to pull me away—into random rooms, dark corners, anywhere he could have me to himself. And every single time, he kissed me like his life depended on it, like he had been starving and I was the only thing that could satisfy his hunger.Then, as if nothing had happened, we’d step back into the party, his arm wrapped tightly around me, his smirk daring anyone to question it. Everyone noticed, of course. They weren’t blind. But no one said a word. Not when it was our night. Not when I was finally going to get married—for real this time.By the end of the celebration, after receiving endless congratulations and well wishes, we left. Lorenzo’s father had insisted on keeping Elena for the night, claiming he wanted to spend more time with her. And honestly? We were too eag
MEGAN’S POVLorenzo was on one knee, his dark eyes locked onto mine, his face illuminated by the soft glow of lights I hadn't even noticed turning on. The world around us had faded into silence, leaving only the sound of my pounding heart and his steady, expectant breaths.“Megan, will you try me for real this time?" His voice was rough with emotion, his grip on the velvet box tight, as if he feared I might vanish before he could place the ring on my finger.I couldn't speak. My throat closed up. The sight of him kneeling before me, the weight of what he was asking, settled over me like a storm. I had promised him another chance—I had vowed to try—but this? This was something bigger, something permanent.This was me handing over my heart, my trust, my life to him once again.And the last time I'd done that, he'd shattered me.Lorenzo saw the hesitation in my eyes, his brows drawing together, his fingers tightening around the ring box. “Megan," he whispered, his voice hoarse, "I know I
MEGAN’S POVThe past month had been...i don't even know how to describe it, a storm of emotions, but somehow, everything had fallen into place. For the first time in what felt like forever, I could breathe.Who would have thought that after what Rael did to Lorenzo, he’d survive?Yet here he was—alive, strong, and laughing as he played with Elena, our daughter. The sight of them on the floor together, her tiny fingers tugging at his shirt as he pretended to lose a playful tug-of-war, warmed me in ways I couldn’t describe. I curled up on the couch, sipping my favorite wine, letting the moment settle over me like a comforting blanket.Then, for what felt like the twentieth time today, Lorenzo’s phone rang."Excuse me, I have to take this," he muttered, already standing.I watched as he strode away, his back tense, voice low when he answered. I had never minded his work calls before, not when we first moved to Chicago, not when he had to step away in the middle of a meal, but lately… som
LORENZO’S POVA month later.The Chicago airport buzzes with life—travelers rushing past, flight announcements echoing overhead, and the occasional wail of an impatient child. I stand near the arrival gate, hands in my pockets, shifting my weight from one foot to the other.It’s been a long week. No, a long month.After I regained my strength, I took off to Chicago to check on my business and for that one month, I had a lot to deal with.Thankful, everything went as planned.But today, things change, no work today. I was here for my two most precious people in the whole world, who I could give anything for.I check my watch for what must be the tenth time in the last five minutes as I wait, my sunglasses on.I want to feel annoyed but I can't with the thought of my two women coming.Megan’s flight has landed nearly half an hour ago, but customs can take forever. I exhale sharply, glancing toward the exit where passengers are trickling through.Then I see them.Elena is the first to sp
LORENZO’S POVIt has been almost two weeks since I came home with Megan, her house and I don't regret coming here. If I must be honest, then this was the best decision ever.I have a lot of time to spend with my cute little doll and Megan and today, we are out to a park after out little doll force us to take her there.Fortunately, I have been gaining my strength or else I would have turned into a laughing thing to my intelligent doll.If someone had told me that out of all the things I’d faced—ruthless enemies, gunfights, betrayals—the most difficult challenge would be a tiny, four-year-old girl with my blood in her veins who is now standing in front of me, her hands on her waist and ready for a challenge, I would have laughed. Hard.The park is livelier than I expected today. Well, maybe it is as I don't come this other side. Children run in every direction, their laughter blending with the chirping of birds perched on tall, leafy trees. The scent of fresh-cut grass mingles with
LORENZO'S POVI stare into her eyes, unable to look away as emotions rush in like a tide I can’t control.If someone had told me there would come a time when I couldn't mask my emotions because of love, I would have laughed in their face and thought them a fool.But here I am, stripped bare, completely exposed—because of this woman who owns my damn heart. Only God knows how much I care for her and our little angel.I owe her everything for giving me something so pure, so untouched by the darkness I live in.She blushes under my intense gaze, shifting slightly in her seat. "You should stop staring."A slow smirk spreads across my face, widening as the color deepens on her cheeks. The sight of it makes me want to get out of this damn hospital bed, take her somewhere private, and show her exactly how much I want her. Need her. Crave her."And you should stop blushing," I counter, my voice low, teasing.Her blush intensifies, and I swear she looks edible—like something only I should be al
LORENZO'S POVI was in a dream.I knew because Megan and Elena were with me—alive, warm, and laughing.Snowflakes danced in the air, landing on my skin like whispers of a forgotten life. The world was bright, crisp, and full of laughter, the kind I hadn’t heard in a long time.“Daddy! Look! I can fly!” Elena’s voice rang out, high and thrilled, as she sped past me on her skis, arms spread wide like tiny wings. Her dark curls peeked from beneath her beanie, her cheeks flushed with excitement.“Be careful, darling, or even your father won’t be able to save you from me when you're done!” Megan teased, panting beside me, her gloved fingers brushing mine as she adjusted her scarf.“I will, Mama!” Elena’s giggles carried over the snow, pure and free.I didn’t want to wake up.Because in my waking world, they weren’t there.The ache in my chest was a familiar, gnawing thing. How had I made it this far without them? How had I learned to breathe in a world where Megan’s touch and Elena’s laugh
