“How was the flight?”

“Good babe, and thanks for the jacket, it’s so warm and comfortable.” I said through the phone which was pinched between my shoulder and my cheek.

My hands were full;  a carry on bag in one hand and a travelling case in the other another.

“I will come join you in three days, this meeting just got brought forward to tomorrow.” Tate said with me grinning.

“That is amazing. Don’t worry about staying behind, it will also be nice to just have the first few days with dad alone. Are you sure you don’t want to stay in the house? It will be so much better. And my dad wont be around on most days.” I said, hailing a cab.

    The heavy hand holding me down wasn’t there when I woke up.The warm strong body wasn’t there when my eyes opened and I could only chase the scent from his pillow. To make it worse the rain was pouring outside. I lay there for a second listening to sounds but none came besides the harsh rain. I pulled back the blankets and slid out. Slowly I made my way to the bathroom, stark naked. No one was there. I peed and brushed my teeth.The shower door was still foggy so Kein had probably left.Had he left for another job?From the way he fucked me yesterday, I was sure he was not in a condition to go assassin someone’s ass. I went back to the room, sliding back in bed and lay on his side. It was barely warm and his scent clung by pure stubbornness. It showed he rarely slept in his bed. I tucked myself then just lay there.The images from my dream drifted in one after another.Finally I was forced to think and process what I had seen. I had seen so much. I had seen my father shoot his women r

    As if that would ease away the worry and turmoil, I slipped from bed and found myself running my hands through Kein’s clothes. Everything was neatly tucked away, clean, and neat. The colors were from light to darkest. The shoes were polished and lined by height and type. I turned to my side and realized that my favorite perfume was not where I put it before. I frowned, moving closer to see that Kein had placed it back with the others. Did it irk him when I left things where they didn’t belong? Did he have OCD? He definitely liked control. A flash of our last night together left me shaking my head to chase it away. Did it irk him when people touched his things? I guess we would have to find out. I pulled out my top and threw it in the hamper before I pulled on his large t-shirt. It smelled of detergent and faints of him. I frowned, moving to his hamper and it was nearly full. I never took it out when doing my own laundry. And that was how I found myself doing laundry at three in t

    I didn’t take it as a coincidence that Kein came back that very night.The fucking bastard!I couldn’t even stare at him. I knew this would be the biggest fight of my life. Might turn to the deadliest I would ever partake in. Tate calling all through the day didn’t make my mood any better. I was a cannonball blazing.The bastard walked through.“Make me food.” He threw out before walking to the bathroom.The actual nerve of the man.Who did he think I was?I wanted to run and throw my fists at him but I just held back. I had been puffing out in anger like an inflated frog all day long.I was tucked in the chair, my book before my eyes.The words were blurry, not hearing a single thing in the room until my book was ripped from my hand and that was when I realized he was done showering.Words failed me, just my hands in fists. My chest pushed up and down and finally I snapped my eyes to him. The fire in me nearly dwindled from his death stare.“Do I need to remind you of your job?” He

    My eyes worked on overdrive, trying to cover every inch of the house as I descended down skeptically. When I was convinced the house was empty I went to the kitchen to find pots I had not left on the stove and counter. There were eggshells on the counter and bread crumbs. I peeked into the pot to find it black then I peeked into the other to find the same thing. He had barely got the egg out from what I could see from both pots. I tidied and cleaned before I washed the pots. They took some time. He had really done a number on those eggs. I just couldn't imagine someone burning eggs to such a point. My stomach grumbled so I began making something for myself. I worked fast because if he came back, I didn’t want him to find me out of the guest bedroom. I did not know how long I would hide there but as long as I could. It was a matter of life and death. The noodles were steaming, chopping the vegetables, then I put them in the pot. I bent to grab a bowl. “SERENE!” I jumped, the back

    My books were gone. My phone and iPad were gone. I even lost the appetite to eat.After cleaning up I went to take a bath. I stood right before the mirror, staring at my body. My skin was a map of hand prints, prints where he had held me each time we fucked in the recent days. His hands were nowhere near gentle. They dug until blood stood still and darkened under the skin. I ran my hands over the bruises. I pressed now and again to hiss because some of them were tender. A shiver ran down my body, moving my finger again to poke at them. My eyes closed as the pain trembled from there to my toes. I tried to recall when I had got each bruise. The images trickled in one after another until the four bruises I had received just a few hours ago. They were the biggest and the most tender. Besides the bruises on my skin, my pussy throbbed as if I was a virgin again. I shook my head, slowly walking to the closet where I just pulled on a large t-shirt then slipped into bed. I stared up at

    They waited. It was a minute long and I didn’t know what to do. Then they just stepped back. “Kein please, you need to get me out of here.” I rushed the words out because I knew that they weren’t leaving. Something was about to happen. “What is the head count?” Imagine being in a deadly situation and the only person who could help seeming to be on a vacation jn a beach somewhere. I closed my eyes, knowing the only thing that mattered was me getting out of there alive then never leaving the house again. My eyes widened as I saw the two men who seemed to be the leaders pull out their guns. My heart dropped to the very pit of my stomach and my blood ran cold. “Seven…” I whispered out, as if that would make them forget I was there. My life flashed before my eyes so many times it turned to a movie. I was trying to be strong, to keep a clear mind but I was losing. My feet pushed up to the seat, cooped up to the corner of the back seat which seemed to be my only solace. “Kein, plea

    The car skidded to a stop and a door opened with a man I soon recognized as one of the guards slid in. In hand he carried a large case which I would assume was his sniper gun. The car moved even before the doors were closed. The man turned to take a look over me then turned back. “They are not retreating.” He said, beads of sweat rolling down his face. “We will take the roof, lay low and wait for the hit.” The next one said with it dawning on me that it wasn’t just a possibility that my attackers would come for me. It was a sure thing now. My eyes ran through, taking each man there. Would more of them die? Because of me? I was so cold. Why had I left the house? I had given my attackers an advantage. I should have stayed in the house but even as those words sank in I knew going to town had been a necessity. It had been unpreventable on that day. The car curved and rushed up the driveway. The house was abandoned with only two of the guards there. They walked to us, the doors

    When the door opened the floor was clean. When the door opened, the body was wrapped by two white sheets. I sat at the edge of the bed, gun hanging in hand. My eyes were red and I was raw from thinking; tossing and turning the situation with no answers coming to mind. Why did they want to take me? What was Kein fighting? If they all warned me to kill myself than be taken, what were they planning to do to me? How was Nazebi related to Kein?How many more would come after us? Was it safe now? I licked my dry lips, my other hand brushing on the tag chain hanging from my neck. I had showered and changed clothes then I waited for anything else that would come my way. For hours it had been deadly quiet outside. None of the guards came to check on me which meant they were all dead and none of the attackers came to end me which also meant they were all dead. How did I even begin processing the heartache and trauma from the lives lost? Why had Nazebi saved me? What had he meant Ke

    THREE YEARS LATERPeter’s P.O.V.I raised my head, my secretaries rushing from their desk. “Ashton, we will finish this later.” I cut the call and stood up just as the door opened. “Daddy!” Tiny little feet running my way. I could only take two steps with how fast Earla was running, fear rocking up in me with her feet seeming to cross over each other with every step she took. I had never seen someone so small. Were we all that small at a point in our lives? I was still shocked. “Princess.” I lifted her up, kisses on her face. How could skin be so soft? I was afraid I would bruise her. I was afraid I would crush her. She was just so small, so soft, so precious, my daughter, my whole life. She looked as beautiful as her mother, caramel skin with curls all over her head. My reason to live had just stepped into my office. “We brought you lunch.” My baby, the one that made me a father, the one who carried my blood, my heir, my reason to work even harder, my reason to clean up my ac

    “What is this?” I groaned, looking ahead to Peter who was blind folded. Five days and he stopped looking like a ghost. A tux was on his body, a pair of hospital slippers on his feet. I heard the fit he threw three rooms away when they told him to get in a tux and pull on a blindfold. I could already see a bid of sweat from him being out of bed and about. He was still weak but that didn’t stop him from ordering one hit after another on the Italians. It was a bloodbath in the Italian territory for sure. Peter had pulled all resources and declared war which he was winning. I finally reached him, turning to face him, biting away the smile from my lips. “Daisy?” He questioned.I don’t even know how he agreed to be led here but I was happy he hadn’t fought it. I turned to the pastor, nodding my head. “We are gathered here to witness the union between….” I chuckled out loudly and found myself stumbling into Peter as he tugged me to him, a large grin on his face. “I knew you were up

    Fighting with the hospital staff to get my bed in Peter’s room left me wiped. As soon as the bed was brought in, I passed out. From there I was drifting in and out. At one point something was beeping. Through blurry eyes I watched the nurses rush in and the strength I got from gripping Peter’s hand was gone. They took him. In my head it became a spiral, them telling me he had passed. I lost the grip of reality and the fiction my brain was spinning. More beeping came but this time it was me. I was drowning under rapidly. Through my haze I heard the panicked voices, felt myself being wheeled away before I succumbed into the white abyss.My eyes opened, white blinding lights making me shut my eyes again. Someone was standing right beside my bed yet they said nothing. I felt worse than before and hollow too. Memories of all my brain had picked up drifted in and I painfully opened my eyes, scared to even turn my head to look. My body shook and tears ran down the side of my face, hands sha

  • FORCED MAFIA BRIDES   33. NOT SAYING GOODBYE

    The fear had me dizzy, nausea threatening to cover the car with my vomit.“Peter, hold on baby, hold on my love, for me, for us.” I felt delusional. What if he was already dead? There was so much blood. I had taken so much time pulling him outside, looking for the cars, finding keys and then opening the gate. Hope dwindled but I refused to give up. I was not going to lose him. I hit every traffic light. I could barely see the way as the car sped through the road. All the guards had been slaughtered, throats cut across. Peter had taken many of the intruders out but they had been too many for him. Maybe if I came out earlier, maybe he wouldn’t be in my backseat, with me praying he was still alive. Oohh God. What would I do? The phone double blinked and I quickly read, ‘In two hundred meters, turn left,’. Not even navigating the road without the sense of hearing would stop me. Nothing would stop me from getting Peter to the hospital. No one. I was ready to shoot any cop that flagged

  • FORCED MAFIA BRIDES   32. ALL OR NOTHING

    My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach because whoever that scream came from was dead now. My body turned cold. I corked one gun after another before I moved, looking for a place to hide but fuck it, this house wasn’t meant to hide bodies. Under the bed was my best bet and that was signing a death wish. Where were the guards? I rushed to the window, leaning against the wall, peaking over just a little. I don’t know how they did it in movies but I couldn’t see a damn thing. I pushed off the wall and bent over to take off my sandals. What do I do? What do I do? I slowly crept to the door, leaned against the wall, listening. If I just shot anyone that walked in, could I get away with it? I wasn’t sure I would be fast enough. I wasn’t even sure I could even operate both guns at the same time. In that very confusing situation I stuffed the smaller gun into my chest by the barrel. I clutched the bigger one with both hands. A gunshot went off and I hadn’t been ready for it. For a f

    I had never been so excited for dinner in my life. Maybe that was why I wore a black dress that showed off my barely there bump, my back, and my thighs. Wearing heels seemed too much so I settled for gorgeous sandals. I even put the stunning diamond earrings I found in the jewelry drawer. My braids needed to be retouched but besides that I looked good. I rushed downstairs, the table already set up by me and Marcia. I hoped she would stick around for long because I was already attached to her in some way. “Ma’am, go on, I will bring the food,” “No, please, I want to help bring it in.” “ Okay, Okay,” I wanted to giggle and dance because the food smelt so good and I made some of it. I carried one of the casseroles. It was so much food I doubt we could finish it but I was ready to try. I made sure Marcia and Alice would have much more left for them to enjoy. Slade was seated even though when I came down he wasn’t in the dining room. I avoided eye contact at all costs because he didn’

    The bed was the best I had ever lay on. The guards had brought the new bed right after dinner and Marcia had ironed and put on the new sheets. I felt as if I was in heaven and I had never slept so peacefully even with my limping heart. I was well rested, not even wanting to get out of bed. My phone sat on the side table, next to the novels they had bought me. Not only did Slade get me a whole box of romance novels but he also filled my closet along with my toiletries. It reassured me that he did want to take care of his child and I was relieved. At least he wasn't casting us out to fend for ourselves. “Ma’am,” A knock came at the door. “You can come in, Marcia,” I didn’t know what time it was but I was sure Slade was long gone for work. It was probably late morning. I was not even ashamed of sleeping so much, my body and baby needed me to recover. I had pushed myself in the last two weeks on the farm.The door opened and Marcia walked in, a tray of food in her hands. After her, wal

    “Daisy, come down for dinner,” I had been hiding in my room all day, just sitting there. If I wasn’t so hungry I would have stuck it out but I was famished. Hopefully there was something which would be more appealing to me. I carried myself down the stairs and searched the house until I found Slade in his kitchen wearing black straight cut pants and a golf t-shirt. I averted my eyes as soon as possible and shuffled myself in a seat. I picked up my fork, eyes running over the plate to freeze. Lasagna with strawberries on top. My eyes shot up, feeling embarrassed but also suddenly happy. I had mentioned this once while at the hospital when they had asked me what I wanted to eat. Of course they hadn’t brought it for me. Seeing this suddenly made me emotional. It looked yummy and I dived into my food, drinking the strawberry cooler which I would have hated four weeks before but at that moment it seemed like heaven. I had never eaten so fast nor so much. I devoured it and found myself wa
