View MoreIrina glared at her friend Cathy. "I will go back there, father." Cathy replied. Mr. Madrigal turned a sharp glare at his daughter."Have you lost it?? What sort of unintelligent suggestion is that, Irina?" Antonio asked her.Her father regarded her with an interested expression on his face."Yes, Irina. What are you saying? El Russo wants you dead." Cathy regarded her friend closely."If El Russo wanted me dead, father, I'd be dead by now. Instead, he married me." She rolled her eyes at the nauseating feeling that came with the words she was about to utter."I think he's in love with me," Irina added. Cathy let out a hasty chuckle."No way. Are you listening to yourself right now, Irina? A heartless man such as El Russo. In love with you? Impossible." Cathy muttered.Mr. Sanchez folded his hands and shook his head at Cathy. "I'm sorry." Cathy apologized to Irina."Are you certain you want to do this?" Mr. Madrigal asked. A question which completely stunned everyone."Yes, father. You
As soon as they approached the crossroads and El Russo took the turn labeled 'La Madrigal', Irina's eyes widened."Had he caught her sending a message? Was there a camera in the room?" She thought to herself.She continued glancing at him through her peripheral vision. El Russo's eyes focused on the road, and his face was contorted into a serious frown.El Russo sped though the gates of La Madrigal as the guards pushed them open.When he brought the car to a stop, he unlocked the doors and looked through his side mirror, and watched the guards shut the gates."Get out", El Russo ordered her in a firm tone.Shocked at his tone, Irina fumbled with her seat belt and pushed the door open.She kept turning back to watch him through the windscreen, but he sat put, with the same extraterrestrial expression hovering over his face.Irina walked through the doors, into her father's house. Mr. Madrigal was in his living room along with some guards, Cathy, her father and Antonio."Dad?" Irina cal
El Russo's eyes flung open, and he stared at her. " Going somewhere?" He asked.Irina froze to the spot and stared at him. "I..."El Russo turned her over, and pinned her to the bed, underneath him. Irina winced from the pain which radiated from the injury at her ankle.His tall frame towered over her, and he held his torso suspended over her. His jaw tightened, as his eyes ran down her tempting frame.Her eyes stood pinned to his. She licked her lips, as her hand touched his lusciously half-opened shirt."How do I punish you for what you've done?" He murmurred in an animalistic growl. Irina opened her mouth to speak but instead of words, a moan escaped her mouth, immediately betraying her own desires.Without waiting for her to speak, El Russo pressed down on her lightly, and claimed her lips with his. His hand moved up to her shirt, and began to pull open the buttons one after the other, while he kissed her.Irina felt herself sink into his touch and caresses, and she instantly forg
He pulled the trigger, just as the horse was about six feet away from where he stood. The Moreisian white horse immediately applied brakes, and came to a sudden halt, almost tossing Irina off its back.Irina whimpered as her injured ankle came in contact with the horse's back."That's enough drama for today. Get off my horse." He said in an estranged tone.Irina pulled herself off the horse with the help of El Russo's men, but when her feet touched the ground with force, she screamed out.El Russo turned back sharply to look at her. Immediately he caught sight of her badly twisted ankle, he walked up to her, and held her."How can you be so stupid?" He scolded her. "You hurt your ankle this badly and still rode a horse?" His eyes shone into hers. Irina looked up with an insurmountable amount of pain rendered in her eyes.El Russo felt his anger ebb away. He put his arm under her knees and swept her up into his arms. "You're so stubborn." He murmured.Irina admired the sight of his ha
Irina's eyes filled with wrath. El Russo was such a scum. He had wasted no time before rubbing their forbidden marriage in her father's face. "What am I going to do now?" Irina thought to herself. She needed to find a way to speak to her father, or Antonio. She walked towards the room door. Pulling the handle, she realized it was locked. "Dammit!" She cussed. "I need to let Father know what is going on. I need to let him know that this farce of a marriage was not my idea!" She rushed to pick up her phone which was charging by the bedside, but to her surprise, there was no service. "Damn you, El Russo!" She murmurred. The sound of feet shuffled outside the door. Irina crouched on the floor, to peer through the small opening underneath the door. She caught a pair of black shoes, with ankle-length trousers. There was a guard outside the door. She turned towards the window. It was open, and the sun was hot, but there were a series of guards patrolling the premises there as well.
Antonio walked out with a sad expression on his face. Cathy pat his shoulder. "I'm sorry. Irina would be so broken." She hugged him as tears streamed down her eyes.The door to her room was pushed open, and a couple of guards walked in with a couple of clothes, which they lined up on the bed, and one of them was a wedding dress."What is going on?" Irina turned to one of the men who was Biggie, El Russo's top guard."I would hurry up if I were you. The Boss does not like to wait." He said and shut the door. The windows had all been tightly sealed. There was virtually no escape route for her. Irina clutched the gown to her chest as she shook out of the dress she was wearing.She didn't bother with anything else, not even her hair or the make-up which had been neatly organized for her. After showering and brushing her teeth, she put on the beautifully hand sewn wedding dress.The fabric was soft to touch, and she could feel the roughness of the thread and the beads which had been sewn i
"That's rich. Is that the “Thank You” I get for saving your life?" El Russo asked in a cool voice. "Saving my life? You were the one who sent those men after me in the first place!" Irina yelled at him. El Russo's face pinched with anger. "If I wanted you dead, Irina, you would be dead by now." He replied coldly. "Then, what am I doing here? Why haven't you killed me yet?" El Russo backed her, he had his face turned to the window. He turned round on his heels slowly, and walked towards the bed. "Marry me, Irina Madrigal." He said to her. Irina gurgled out a chuckle. She assessed his face, waiting for him to laugh in return, but El Russo's expression remained serious. "You can't be serious. You're insane! Why would I want to marry the man who killed my sister?" She asked him bitterly. A shadow passed over El Russo's face, and he turned towards the window, and murmurred in a deep, husky tone, "I did not kill your sister, Irina." Irina scoffed at him. "And my father did no
Then, he fell flat on his stomach and leaned towards the edge of the cliff. He used the hand which was tied with his tie to secure his hold on the cliff, while the other hand reached for Irina. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes, shaking with fear. "Come on!" He shouted at her. There was equal terror in El Russo's eyes, and he could hear blood rush to his ears. "Reach out to me, I'll grab you!" He said to her. The branch which Irina held onto was frail. It was quickly losing its resolve because of her weight. "No." Irina whispered in tears when the first part of the branch broke. "Come on!" El Russo shouted. "Let the branch go! Trust me!" He said to her Irina looked into his eyes for a moment, and when she saw that he meant what he said, she decided to trust him. She reached up to grab his hand, and just as her fingertips touched his, the branch lost its stability and broke. But El Russo was quick enough to catch her wrist before she fell with it. Irina's screa
He cut it open with a letter cutter and pulled out some photographs which he scattered on his table for El Russo's viewing.Stepping forward, El Russo stared at the photographs one after the other. They were all images of Irina and him. From pictures of them at the masked ball dancing together to photographs of them at the bar.The last set was a few of them walking into the hotel, and others were of him walking out of the hotel the next morning.El Russo's brows creased in a frown. " How did you get all these?" He demanded of his uncle in silent rage.Everyone knew that El Russo's anger was bad. Many said he had the anger of an enraged bull. Yet, his uncle remained calm."I have trained you boys from when you were little boys, even before your father died, bless his soul. I have done my best to raise you both to keep the standard of this family intact. Your father, my brother, was an honorable man.""Ruthlessly murdered when you were merely a teenager. By the same people you see now.
"El Russo is so hot, I mean imagine if one of the Merchant brothers finally get to bed me this weekend, I will slump and die." Cathy chimed on. "You can't slump and die from something you do every other weekend." Irina pushed up her glasses. "Come on, don't be a jealous skank. I know you hate him. But you know me, no bad blood." Cathy retorted with a smile. Irina rolled her eyes at her best friend. Ever since her sister was killed, Irina had felt nothing but pure hatred for the El Puertos. "Come on, Cathy, hasten your steps, we have to hurry up now. Papa will kill me if he finds out I got home this late." "Your father does not come home until midnight, chill amigo." Cathy pulled out a pack of gum and popped it into her mouth. Blowing a bubble out of it and letting it pop loudly. The sound of the gum popping echoed through the quiet, dark neighborhood they walked in. Cathy was Irina's best friend and soul sister. They were childhood friends and had done everything togethe...
