A Poison I Couldn't Resist

“Get up now” the way his voice sounded calm and at the same time, authoritative baffled me. I didn’t stand up even though the vibration of his hoarse voice struck fear into my heart.

My eyes were still shut. One thing was certain, I wasn’t going to stand up from where I lay.

“We both know you aren’t sleeping, Leia” He said but I remained still. God, I wasn’t even breathing. I had to take a deep breath, but I was scared I would move too much if I did.

“I guess you want it the hard way."

I didn’t know what he meant until I felt his strong hand wrap around my arm and with little effort, he jacked me from where I was. One minute, I was faking sleep and the next I was up on my feet staring at Jericho’s intense eyes. I parted my lips to speak, but not a single word came out.

“You weren’t sleeping after all” he didn’t give me a chance to speak. With my arm still in his hands, he pulled me to follow him.

“You tossed it to the floor!”

He was talking about the red dress. I swallowed har

    I flicked my eyes open with a lopsided grin displayed on my lips. This was so satisfying. It felt so good that I beat myself up mentally. I was supposed to loathe this man.I turned around and realized that Jericho was already asleep beside me. I wondered how he could just sleep off after what we just had. Something felt disturbing, the priority of every marriage was supposed to be procreation but Jericho spilled his seeds rather than inside of me. I must look like one of the numerous girls that he fucks everyday.I was also not ready to babysit but the realization that Jericho saw me as a whore hit me hard.I rose to my feet to get a shower. My mind was preoccupied as I took my bath. My family sold me for fame and the one who bought me sees me as nothing but a sex object.I took enough time under the showers as I scrubbed away all my filthiness.I replaced my bathrobe and walked back to the bedroom. Alas! Jericho was gone.He was done with me and I am of no use for him anymore. I th

    “Look here, Mr Harman,” I tried to sound dulcet but my voice proved guttural. “The delay of the shipment you ordered is because our warehouse exploded recently and I am sure you are aware of it. We’re however preparing harder drugs and we have doubled our security. There'll be no excuse not to deliver your marchandise. We’ll also be shipping the available weapons to you at a %50 discount to make up for the delay,” I said earnestly butIt was as If I had said everything to a deaf man because the bastard's attention wasn’t on me, his lascivious eyes had been on Leia who was sitting leg crossed like a roadside slut. I had actually noticed how he’d been taking glances at Leia while flickering his saggy tongue across his lips like a dog. I decided to ignore and pretend like I hadn’t noticed because aside from the fact that I don’t mix business with personal affairs, I need him to sign this deal first. After finally withdrawing his gaze from Leia, the moron still insisted on discontinu

    “What was all that for!?” I growled immediately when Harman left. Instead of a logical explanation, Leia smirked and walked past me taking her bag.I was infuriated. No one walks out on me. "Leia!" I roared. She ignored me and majestically walked right out of the door. “Guards!” I yelled, my own voice nearly deafening me. Ten men in suits came rushing. I ordered them to trail Leia and bundle her up in a room. "I will teach her a lesson!" I yelled.I was disorganized. I knew if I should lay my hands on Leia, I could kill her. I had to wait to get some air before finally leaving the casino. Alex left earlier. When I got home, I learnt that Alex had contradicted my orders. He had instructed the guards not to lay a hand on Leia.The tremerity! Immediately, I stormed the gym where Alex was throwing knives. He shuddered immediately when he saw me."Boss…" he muttered and wiped off his sweat"Why did you defile my orders!?" I barked out.“It was totally uncalled for and you know it.” Al

    With Jericho’s two arms caging me like pillars, he hovered over me. I shivered as I felt his control over me to the bones.His words are just like mere threats—like every other man’s threat, I said to myself and tried to regain control but it wasn't working. His blazing eyes raked my body with lust, he looked like he was going to attack my body like a beast.Finally, as if recovering from my daze, I made a muffling sound in an attempt to say something but he pulled away without a warning. Betraying my assumption, he dashed out of the room. As I watched him walk through the door, the air that I didn’t know I had restricted, puffed out of my lungs. I even had to gasp for more air. What just happened? I did all I did to spite him since he’d treated me like a random whore but I didn’t expect to provoke this dark side. A side which had legit pricked my inner bravery. Reflecting on the wordings of his warning built a bubbling rage within me— even if I was his wife, I’m not a fucking o

    “This is why I’ve always kicked against marrying some foreign woman who would come here to jeopardize our custom. You do know our customs are deep, Alfonso. Why the hell would you allow your son get married to some foreign brat?!” The old-woman spat with so much venom, her burning eyes not leaving me. I despised her immediately. “I’d always known she’s a bitch after the attitude gave off at the wedding. She even got nerves saying all those trash,” one of the young women who was blonde voiced out. I clenched on the table knife and fought back the urge not to stab her ugly face. “Leia is actually the perfect girl for Jericho. Being the only daughter of Vatos Locos, I don’t expect decency from her. At least she’s fierce, powerful and smart which would be an advantage to our business. It’s left for Jericho to teach her our custom,” Alfonso said sternly in my defense.Well that is not necessarily a defense, he only sees me as a tool for business.

  • Entangled With The Mafia Boss   Another Dinner without Jericho

    I couldn't believe Jericho left me all alone and I had to deal with his family all by myself. Yeah, we had our own issues but he should have stood by me. Tonight, I am going to give him the piece of my mind. I thought as I walked into the shower. I waited all night long but there was no sign of Jericho. My anger was gradually replaced by anxiety. I was anxious to see him. How I missed him. Yes it's embarrassing to admit but it is what it is. I did miss everything about him_ ranging from his fake animosity, down to his intoxicating manly Cologne. Above all, I missed the feeling of him in me. It probably didn't mean anything to him, but it sure did to me.The next morning, I was woken up by a knock on the door. I sat up praying it was Jericho, but my expectation was crushed when I saw two maids walking in with a tray of food in their hands.I exhaled sharply as I leaned back on the bed. I didn't even want to eat, but how could I explain that to them? I didn't eat well yesterday nigh

    Dallas, 8amJericho's POVIt’s been over two fucking hours since we’d been in the plane. I’d been literally losing some brain cells, I had been throwing my Rolex wristwatch to my face repeatedly, I was obviously frustrated.Alex bugged me for a while to just relax but he gave up afterward. How can I relax at the knowledge that some fuckers invaded my farmhouse and the dicks of men I had, couldn’t deal with them nor give an account of who those fuckers are.There won't be any issue if those foreign rats didn’t vandalize my stocks but if they did, skulls will roll and that definitely will be my own men.“Finally!” I was jolted out of the burning anger that consumed me when Alex yelled beside me. “You can now shove a fucking chill pill down your jittery nerves. We are here!” He declared.Indeed the plane was landing. The fucker piloting the plane turned on the warning machine to fasten our seatbelt which of course I didn’t budge.

    Max loaded his gun while Alex viewed the perimeter with his pair of binoculars. "It's all empty… nothing is in view.. those bastards are hiding," he said."I think we are outnumbered," he added as bullets continued to impact the car."Leave the guards to it, they can handle as much. We should wait in here," Alex said."In here!? No way! The car could explode! That is their aim!" I yelled." Yeah, we are just gonna stall for time. We need to lure them out!" Alex retorted.While we were at it, Max slipped out of the car. He used the car as his cover and his gun began talking.The guards in the other car had disembarked. They all fired sporadically.Alex was right. Our attackers started drawing out of their hiding. Max had taken a cover and he was tactically taking them down."Requesting back up and a heli for evacuation… Dallas Love Airfield… We are under attack," Alex informed our base."Roger that!" A voice boomed through and the line went dead."Get out!" Max yelled so loud and I c

Fed up of the shit, I decided to make a move but just as I made two steps away from my standing position, I felt a hand grab my arm making me twirl back to see it was Alex.

When I walked through the shadows of death, he was the only substance that kept me fighting for my life. I am back on my feet and there is no way I can live on without him.Since l'd left the Bandas' mansion, I could not but think about him. Apparently, I might have lost him but I can't lose him for real. We can't remain under the same sky and he would be locked up in another woman's bosom.No! It can never be. The thought alone is infuriating. I will rather have him taken out. Yes, if I can't have him, no one would. Neither Leia nor some other women.At this point I could not help but think that Andro's intervention made me lose Jericho. If I had returned to him earlier, he wouldn't have met that bitch.

Jericho was busy with Leia and the task was not something I could give out to our subordinates.It was the end of the month and I had enough on my plate.

He bowed and in a few minutes time, he led Luca up all the way. “If you don’t h
