Don Markos Beggar
Violeta was in the hospital and so was my brother. Things were not going great for me. It had been three days since I went to work. Derek had probably ranted to Markos and convinced him to fire me.But what choice did I have? This was what my sister we were talking about. I had a duty to take care of her even though she was older than me. None of us were responsible for how our lives turned out.Father was the one who dug us into a mess and then Mother decided this life wasn’t hers to leave. If I didn’t protect Violet, I was going to lose her. That was the last thing I needed.I was short on money. I had no phone, no money to pay bills, pay my brother’s hospital fees, and my sister’s hospital bills. I sat at the waiting room of the hospital with my head in my hands.Tears flowed freely down my face but I didn’t dare look up. I was too proud to let someone see me cry. People had already seen me in my worst moments but crying was never going to be one of those moments.“What am I going
Don Markos Don't need you (Hazel)
I begged like they wanted. I even licked the floor for thirty minutes just to make sure they were impressed enough to help me out. I should have known the two heartless individuals were never going to show me empathy.They acted worse than those strangers who saw us as an abomination in society. They sabotaged their own blood and humiliated them greatly. I would never forgive them for putting me though hell like they did.After I was done licking the floor, they ordered gusrds to show up, grab me and kick me out of theior home. I was sent away screaming and begging for them to hear me out. I cried and begged for them to make me their slave or maid.But no matter what I said, nothing seemed to move them. They were devils.I wiped my tears as I walked away from the estate. I had used the last of my money to pay for the taxi to go to their house. I thought that maybe they were going to give me a ride. I should have known better than to expect such things from superficial people.I shiver
Don Markos Mistakes
I shook as I stood in the middle of the bedroom wondering what I would do. There was no time to put on makeup to hide how much Mother had punctured my flesh with her long nails. Or the handprint from where Father grabbed me roughly.I wished more than anything that I had covered up the marks first thing when I arrived home. Instead, I’d wallowed in my sadness–something that was getting me in trouble already.“You’re not naked,” Nikolas said from the door. He still had his gun in his hands and that dangerous look in his eyes. Any remnants of the gentle man who made love to me nice and slow so he wouldn’t hurt me were gone. The man who cleaned me after he took my virginity and changed our sheets was gone. In his place was the ruthless man he had always been–the man I refused to see all along. The other version was made up in my mind. Mafioso men were all the same. One wrong move and he would kill me with that very gun he was holding.“I–”He raised the gun and pointed it at me. “I c
Don Markos Diamonds and Roses
Nikolas avoided me since the whole incident with my parents. If I was being honest, that was the best thing he could have done. The mere sight of me had me so scared that I could barely keep it together. I’d slept in my bed alone for three days and I hated how lonely it felt. I hated myself for missing a man that threatened to kill me and replace me within hours. His actions only told of how little value my life was to him. ‘Yet he’s the only thing you think about.’Father still asked for updates of where Nikolas went and what he did and I had nothing to give him. I hadn’t seen him in days and whenever I asked Ricco of his whereabouts, he told me he didn’t know.Bullshit.How was I supposed to get him to fall for me if I didn’t even see him.“Nikolas told me to tell you he’ll be attending your sister’s birthday party with you tomorrow.” Ricco said from the door. I scoffed and almost laughed sarcastically. It was a pattern at this point. Whenever I did something Nikolas didn’t like,
Don Markos Let Her Go (Hazel)
Hazel was a fucking temptress. Even as I kissed her soft lips, I knew no woman would ever compare. How had it been seven years and I felt the same way I did. She got my dick harder than it had ever been. When I kissed her, it had been out of anger and frustration.If someone had told me I had taste anything better than her lips, I would have told them to go fuck themselves. My lips moved on hers fervently, like a dog in heat. I grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. She opened her sexy little mouth for me and I didn’t hesitate to thrust my tongue in her mouth.The moment our tongues made contact, a burst of emotions rushed through my body. I hummed in satisfaction and deepened the kiss. She responded with the same energy I had with her hands roaming my chest.She started to unbutton my shirt and that was when my senses kicked in. I grabbed her hands, pulled them off my chest, and broke the kiss. No matter how hard it was, I had to do it.I couldn’t allow things to escalate. I wa
Don Markos Get Your Shit Together (Hazel)
Violet was soon going to be discharged from the hospital and I was going to stay with her before she got on her feet and got a job. If I was being honest I was mad at her for being so fucking selfish. By doing drugs she was also ipacting my life. But I didn’t tell her that. She was still recovering and I didn’t want to argue with her. Arguing with her would potentially thrust her back into the throes of addiction. Who knew if next time someone would save her? For an addict, every overdose was one step closer to the moment they died. Unluckily for me I found her awake when I found her in the hospital room. After walking many kilometers to get to the hospital, I was sweating and my eyes were swollen. Not only had I cried when my grandparents refused to help, I had also cried when Markos and I had a fight. I lied when I said I didn’t love him because I still did. I lied when I said I didn’t remember how we broke up because I did. It was very fresh, like it only happened the day befor
Don Markos Changes (Markos)
I thought shopping was going to make me feel happy but it didn’t. My thoughts kept going back to what Aurora had told me. My mind decided to punish me by feeding me flashbacks of Aurora telling me he was seeing that woman. Shopping barely distracted me. Although it didn’t satisfy me in the ways I wanted, it certainly gave me satisfaction knowing Nikolas was probably fuming as he watched the zeros in his bank account decrease.The only things Mafioso men cared about were money and power. Plus, I had confiscated all my bodyguard’s phones and switched them off. There was no way of Nikolas knowing where I was or what I was doing.“Nikolas is probably—”“Don’t mention his name, Ricco. As far as I know, you’re supposed to guard me and ensure I’m safe, not talk to me or report to my husband everything that I do.” I said without turning to look at him.When he didn’t move, I turned to him and narrowed my eyes at him. “In case you didn’t miss it, that was your cue to stand as far away from m
Don Markos He Disappeared (Hazel)
I thought that I had Nikolas figured out. As it turned out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. He didn’t follow me like I had secretly hoped he would.On the contrary, he left the penthouse altogether. That night, I didn’t sleep wondering where he spent the night.I needed to turn around the situation in my favor.One fight with me and he ran back to that mistress of his. I’d unknowingly pushed him into her waiting arms.The next morning I got up and got ready to leave the penthouse. It was damn near suffocating to be cooped up inside there like Rapunzel. Maybe if I went out and made some friends, I wouldn’t be so desperate to get Nikolas’ attention.I put on a simple baby pink dress and some wedged sandals. After grabbing my bag, I left the house, deciding to have breakfast at a coffee shop instead.At least I could read a book while I sipped some coffee in a place that wasn’t a reminder of how much I failed as a wife. The ride there was short and quiet. However, I could feel my phone
