Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. pass out with a nose bleed.
Ezabella Viper...I sat up on bed, a pillow proved behind me to support my back.I looked around the hospital room. Ella and Cilvia were both up, and after they tried to come to me to see if I was okay, they were instructed to sit back and rest by Elijah Smith. So, they, too, mirrored my sitting position, throwing their eyes around the hospital room.It seemed everyone had a single question, but no one wanted to bring it up first."Do you need anything?" My father asked, sitting at my bedside."No. I'm good." I replied, looking at him. Look at me with the it most worry in his eyes."When did you get here?" I asked."About an hour ago." He replied. "I came as soon as I heard about the incident." I nodded my head, feeling awkward as I once again looked at the other ladies."Your painting?" I asked Ella, and she shook her head."All gone." She whispered, and I saw her husband reaching out to her again, giving her hand a squeeze before pulling her into his arms.Where is my husband?

The setting could not be awkward and nerve-wracking anymore than it already is.My husband and my father were having a face off, standing freakishly close to each other as they exchanged words.My father wanted to take me back to Viper City, and Jacopo was not having any of it."Eza is my wife. My responsibility. She is staying here, where I am, and that is the end of this conversation." Jacopo snapped.My father stepped closer to Jacopo."Stop it, dad." I whispered, but of course, he wouldn't listen to me."Do you two need us to leave the room for you?" Dante asked, breaking the ice.My husband and father glared at Dante for his comment, yet he looked at them as if he meant what he said, and he did not apologize for it."Right." Dante continued. "If you two are done, we would like to discuss the matter at hand here. Shall we?" He said, staring at Jacopo as if he was waiting for him to continue.Instead of just jumping at the conversation and doing what Dante wanted him to do, Jacopo

The awkwardness in the room did not get any better after the comment Dante made, but it seemed Jacopo was not paying attention to any of them at all.His focus on me and me only, and I felt my cheeks heat under his eyes.Goodness. What is this man doing to be, being all worried and affectionate towards me in front of other people?I loved every bit of attention he gave me, but I just wished he didn't look like he was blaming himself for the accident."So, Victor Viper..." Dante called out, drawing the attention back to the conversation that was being had. "Tell me. What is this all about the Vipers still helping Elizabeth Williamson?" All eyes turned to my father, and he glared at each and every single one of us, even me, as if I too was accusing his people of helping a family member that tried to destroy his people."Do you honestly think any of us would help her?" He snapped."Alex Fimbar has no reason to lie to me." Dante commented. "He explained how some of the Vipers trapped him

My father stepped closer to me, sitting on the edge of the bed and giving his back to the rest of the room."Bella?" He softly called out, his voice low so the rest won't hear him. "This place is not safe for you anymore. I need to take you back home and...""Dad?" I called out as softly as I could. "I am not going anywhere but my home here. Safety is not guaranteed, whether it's here or in your city. But I'd rather be here.""Why, Bella?" He asked, desperation in his voice.I looked past his arm towards my husband, who had his eyes on my father and I. "I have a reason to stay and someone to stay with." I replied, my eyes still on Jacopo, my heart wildly beating at the realization of how much I enjoyed being here with that man despite the rocky start we had.My father remained silent for a few seconds, his eyes moving from left to right as if he was trying to think of what he would say to me next that would make me change my mind.My father glanced over his shoulder towards Jacopo an

"You said tomorrow night, Dante. Why the heck are you calling me now?" Jacopo snapped into the phone, pacing in front of me.I stared at him from my spot on the couch, and my cheeks flushed as I recalled how close his lips were to mine just a minute ago.Jacopo had leaned closer to me earlier, our lips almost touching, when his phone interrupted our moment. It was a shame.The annoyance on Jacopo's face was evident as he pulled away and slowly helped me sit down on the couch. He then pulled his phone out and answered the call.Clearly, it was Dante wanting to relay something to Jacopo that he couldn't have told him earlier when he was driving us to the apartment."Yes. Okay. Fine." He said before he hung up and glanced towards me.There was a short, awkward silence between us."Are you hungry?" He asked.I didn't get to answer his question before he continued."You have to eat. And drink a lot of water. We need to get your hydrated." He commented as he walked towards the open kitchen

I lay in bed next to Jacopo, staring at his side profile.Even after hours had passed from the passionate moment we had spent, my heart refused to settle down, and so did the butterflies swarming my stomach. I could still feel his lips pressed against my own. I could still feel his fingers brushing through the strands of my hair. I could still feel his strong arm wrapped around my waist.My goodness.The man succeeded in stealing my breath and my heart all at the same time. Those three short but big words were hanging from the tip of my tongue, and if Jacopo hadn't silenced me with the deep kiss that followed after each breath we took to feel our lungs with oxygen, I would have said them to him.By the time Jacopo groaned for the third time and I knew he was in pain, I finally pulled away. I could tell that Jacopo was exhausted down to the bone, and so was I. There was no need for either of us to go to my bedroom. So, we settled for Jacopo's room.It didn't take long for Jacopo to fa

I sat behind Jacopo's desk, on his chair, silently looking at the laptop. I'd been sitting there for about thirty minutes, or maybe even an entire hour, but I just couldn't make myself open it and insert the flash.It was too more courage than I thought it would. But all I had to do was think about Jacopo and the sacrificed he made to try and save me, and I found myself reaching out to open the laptop.Before I could change my mind, I opened it up and pushed the flash into the laptop.I clicked on the window that opened up and stared at the single video.I recalled how horrified I had been the first time I opened the flash and witnessed what was kept on it. And I never imagined I would find myself sitting in front of a laptop again with the video seconds away from playing. I took a deep breath it and opened it.The first thing I did was to make sure the voice was low, one, so that it wouldn't some how wake Jacopo up from his peaceful sleep, and two, so that it woukd decrease the odd

Jacopo Nicolo...I let out a soft groan, my body tense with pain. My eyes fluttered open, and damn it, I already needed to go back to sleep.The light was off, but I didn't have to have my vision to know that the spot where my Eza was sleeping was empty.I moved my hand over to her pillow and frowned when I felt how cold it was.I pushed myself up to a sitting position with a groan, feeling my wound stretch in the most uncomfortable way."Eza?" I called out, throwing my eyes around the room in hopes of finding her figure standing somewhere.I didn't get a reply, my call hanging in the air, making my heart a bit faster.I pushed myself to my feet before turning the light on.I glanced towards the bathroom in case she was in there. No luck.I walked out of my bedroom."Eza?" I called out again, reaching for her bedroom door and pushing it open. There was no sign of there in there as well."Eza?" My voice grew more and more desperate as I turned around and walked to my office.I was

"How did it go?" I asked.Jacopo and I had shared dinner alone after Dante, Elijah, and Ella, along with the twins, left. The day turned out a lot different than I thought it would be. The men spent most of the day behind the doors of Jacopo's home office, coming up with a plan to take their enemies down, while Ella and I caught up, ordered food, made sure the men were fed, and played with the kids when they woke up.It was nice to forget about everything bad and surround ourselves in the bubble of joy the twins provided, and I didn't want it to end. But of course, the sky was starting the darken, and the men were leaving the home office.After saying fairwell to our unexpected guests, Jacopo and I settled for some leftovers from lunch from earlier and retired to our bedroom to call it a day, where I couldn't help but start to ask him questions about the conversation he had with the men in his office."It was... fine." He replied, settling down under the covers next to me."Did you g
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Gatherings.
Ella and I left the twins to sleep some more in the bedroom and found ourselves in the open kitchen.She was telling me how her and the other ladies of the web missed my company, and it reminded me that it has been a long time since I joined the gatherings. To be totally honest, I did miss hanging out with some of the ladies of the web as well. I don't mean the mean mother-in-laws and constant glares of the younger women. I mean the women who went to those gatherings to genuinely have fun, to talk with one another, and had a good time outside of their houses."I do miss you guys too." I replied."Well, you can always come on the next gathering." Ella said. "I know things aren't great right now, but it would be good if you give yourself some time too.""That would be nice. Bit, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to show up at your gatherings when Jacopo wants nothing to do with the web." I replied.Ella and I were talking about having something to eat before we came to the ki
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Forgiveness.
Ezabella Viper...I watched as Ella lovingly looked down at her two daughters, her fingers gently brushing their thick hairs off of their faces.I look at her, and I see a loving mother looking at her children. It was a beautiful sight, and I wondered if I could ever be the mother that she is.My hand was pressed against my lower abdomen as I stared at her."Is it hard?" I whispered, trying to keep my voice high enough just for Ella to hear me, and low enough not to disturb the sleeping twins."What is?" Ella asked, tearing her eyes away from daughters to look at me."Being a mother... being a mother in a place like this. Being the wife of a dangerous man working for a dangerous organization. Is it hard?"Ella let out a soft sigh, looking away from me as she thought through her answer. "I wouldn't say it is easy. What I can tell you is that I wake up every single day next to the man I am madly in love with. I have two amazing daughters who I would give my life for. I have a fami

Jacopo Nicolo...Elijah, Dante, Victor, and I sat in a circle, our focus on Victor as he restarted his explanation on how he was looking into Elizabeth while he stayed here to keep Eza safeEza and Ella were in our bedroom with the twins as Elijah had refused to talk about killing a bunch of people in front of his two daughters, and while both Eza and Ella wanted to stay and listen to our plans, they didn't protest against Elijah's request."As I was saying before, I was rudely interrupted by your unwanted appearance..." Victore said as he pointed at Dante and Elijah at the same time with two of his left fingers. "I've found out that Elizabeth is staying two towns over with a small mafia wannabe, boys. All we have to do is march ourselves there and wipe them off the face of the earth.""We need to be careful." Elijah commented."Of course, we need to be careful. That doesn't mean we should waste any more time than we already had." Victor countered. "It's been two whole months sin
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The Story of the leader.
A short silence fell in the home office as Dante and Jacopo stared each other down.Jacopo crossed his arms over his chest, refusing to make a single comment and forcing Dante to continue."Like Elijah said, I am sorry for what happened that night, but I, too, had someone I needed to save. And as much as it pains me to sat this, your mother was not my priority that night."My goodness... I get what Dante was saying, but damn it, he didn't have to say it like that."And what? I'm supposed to just believe you and be happy with your decision? I'm supposed to clap my hands for you and just move on?" Jacopo asked, hurt still evident in his voice."That is not what I am saying. What I'm saying is that the night was not easy for any one of us. We were all isolated and were forced to choose to save those we loved the most. Elijah had to choose his family and you had to choose your wife..." "Then what about you?" My father jumped in. "Who were you forced to choose?" He asked.All eyes turned
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Part of the web.
Ezabella Viper...I sat tense in Jacopo's home office, my back to the window, and my face turned towards the unexpected guests sitting in front of my husband.Dante, Elijah, Ella, and their twins. One look at Jacopo and I could tell that he was trying his best to control his anger, to stay come and hear them out before he can kick them out without Dante threatening to burn us all down along with the apartment building."This is very awkward." My father leaned in to whisper to me, shaking his head in disappointment for getting caught up in between the affairs of the people of the web."It sure is." I replied, keeping my voice hushed enough only for my father to hear."Are you sure you want to say with this man, Bella? Because if I were you, I would not handle this well." He added."Well, it's a very good thing that you are not me, then." I replied, glancing at him and seeing the face he was making at me."Are we going to sit here and stare at each other all day... or are you going
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The unexpected guests.
I was in the middle of preparing breakfast for Eza when the panel lit up with a notification. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to look at what had set it off.Victor was standing in the elevator, aggressively punching the button that would take him to my floor.Goodness.I pushed the pass code in through my phone and watched as he shoved his hands in his pocket and looked up at the camera.I returned my attention back to the breakfast I was preparing for Eza, which did not need the stove to be turned on. Thank goodness.I ignored the noise of the elevator door opening as I started plating the fruits and cookies."Is that why you eat? Or is that what you feed my daughter?" He asked as he stopped in front of the kitchen counter."Mind your own business." I mumbled."My daughter is my business." He replied."Dad?"My eyes are drawn to the hall at the sound of my wife's soft voice."What are you doing here this early?" She asked. "Did we make plans for today?""Good morning to you too,
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Help.
I stood in front of the mirror, pulling a black t-shirt over my head, wincing as I felt the slowly healing gunshot wound on my shoulder.Eza was still asleep in bed when I got up to get ready. The previous night, after Eza and I had spent the day together forgetting the horror we were living, we'd returned home and spent a few more hours in each other's arms, talking about this and that until she fell asleep.After tucking her in bed, I'd returned to the living room to retrieve my phone, charge it, and make a phone call even though I knew it was past midnight.I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep if I didn't call Victor right that second and make plans. I just couldn't wait a few more hours until the sun went up.I was sitting at my desk in my home office, one I have not been in since the day I lost my mother, and almost lost my wife for the rest of my life.I expected to call Victor a few times before he picked up, but to my surprise, the phone didn't even ring three times befor
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. A nice day out.
Jacopo Nicolo...If there is one thing going right in my life, it's having Eza next to me.These past eight weeks had been brutal, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get out of my shell as fast as I could to start fixing our marriage. I was the one who messed up, yet Eza was still by my side, cooking my every meals and trying to get me out of my shell every single day.I didn't deserve her kindness. I still don't. But I recognize how blessed I am to have her.She was probably the only reason why I was back on my feet, walking around and not letting myself west away. As of now, she is also the biggest reason why I decided to go through with the visit to see my mother.I was not even close to being ready to fall at her grave, to say the things I wanted to say to her. But I also knew that the longer I took to get to the cemetery, the harder it was going to be for me to start healing, and that will only make it even harder to fix my marriage with Eza.I glanced at her
