Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Awkward orders.
It took me some time to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. By the time I came down, my eyes were red and swollen, my nose stuffy, and my hands, along with the phone in it, wet from tears.Ella offered me a red handkerchief, along with a soft, sad smile.I took the handkerchief and wiped my tears, taking deep breaths through the slight hiccups. I tried my best to calm myself down and thank her without stuttering. However, her phone rang before I could speak, disturbing the silent gallery.She reached into her bag and pulled her phone out, answering it within the next second.I returned my eyes to the painting, sniffling a bit, while she replied to the caller."No, Cilvia. We're not that close, but we'll get there on time." She said."Alright. See you soon."She hung up the phone and tucked it back into her red handbag.Ella Smith returned her eyes to me."Would you like to look around before we hit the road again?" She asked.That would be nice, looking at the colorful paint

The food came about fifteen minutes later, and while the ones who were forced to order a salad even though they wanted something else didn't look pleased, I was more than happy to be served with a good-sized steak.My mouth immediately watered at the sight of the food in front of me, my stomach growling at the memory of not eating anything good for the last two days.I didn't hesitate to reach for the knife and fork, ready to dig in. The table full of stranger women melted away as I started cutting into my perfectly cooked steak, the sight of how well done it was making me satisfied.I took a big bite that filled my entire mouth, slightly struggling to chew the meat as I scooped up some mashed potatoes from the side and shoved it into my already full mouth.The sigh of relief that escaped my throat was audible, and for once, the twisting hunger I was feeling deep in my gut was not letting me feel the shame of being round people I didn't know. I dug in like my life depended on it, and

Jacopo Nicolo...I paced in my study, cracking my knuckles as apprehension filled my gut.I glanced at the screen of my laptop, the focus made on only a single camera, which showed the real-time view of the street outside the front entrance of the apartment building.I glanced at the clock hung on the wall, scowling at how much time they had taken. It's already been about three hours since that woman came to the house and took the other woman I have been trying to get rid of.I needed to keep my eyes on the Viper Princess. I needed to watch all of her moves, but damn it, she just had to meddle in my life again.How was I supposed to gather dirt on the woman I married if I didn't have eyes on her the entire time?Pressure was starting to build at the back of my neck, vexation twisting my insides into a single giant ball.I was still irritated about the fact that Ella Smith called her husband so he could call and give me an ear full. Whatever happened to minding their

Ezabella Viper...I hid in the bathroom, slightly upset with myself for not properly thanking Ella Smith before I stepped out of the elevator. I made sure to lock the door before I ventured further into the bathroom, standing in front of the sink to look at myself in the mirror above it.I cringed at the sight of my hair, knowing it was going to be extra tangled once I freed it from the bun. I dropped my eyes to my face.Despite sleeping the entire late afternoon and night the previous day, I looked extremely exhausted, as if I had not slept for 48 hours straight.I sighed, dropping the phone on the edge of the sink and dragging both of my hands down my face, stopping at my eyes to give them a quick rub before I reached down for the sink.Turning the water on, I leaned down and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would chase away the exhaustion from my body.The gathering with the other women truly felt like I had walked myself into a battlefield and came out on the other s

Jacopo Nicolo...I stood beneath the cold spray of the shower, my eyes closed, and my head tilted back as I let the chill freeze my scarred face. Half of my forehead was covered with my soaked hair, and the other half stayed bare, getting direct splashes from the water.It was my third day as a married man, and I was over it. Ever since that woman came into this house, I haven't had a single breath of relief, a comfortable sleep, or even pleasant work.It's like she was a magnet of evil, drawing a bad aura towards me and my business. From the call Ricardo gave me about the detectives snooping around the casino, to the news about Alex Fimbar's disappearance, to his meeting with the woman that almost burned me to crisp, to Ella showing up to ruin my plan, and then the call I received right after I sent her away, every single thing has been extra stressful.I recalled the short conversation I had with Dante after Ella left. He said he was unable to squeeze out the whereabouts of A

Ezabella Viper...I sat tense in the back seat of the car, my left shoulder firmly pressed against the door. I kept my eyes on my hands, unwilling to look at anything that might draw my anxiety out.My sock-covered toes wiggled with tension the further we drove away from the apartment building. I couldn't find comfort sitting on the rather comfortable chair, my back too hunched from trying to make myself look much smaller and unnoticeable.I couldn't understand why Jacopo Nicolo decided to drag me out of the apartment. Fear of the location of where he was taking me made me even more anxious to the point that the second he spoke, I forgot to grab my shoes and my phone. I assumed something horrible awaited me, and it was all because I chose to follow Ella Smith out of the apartment even though he didn't want me to leave.A phone rung in the car, disturbing the suffocating silence, and Jacopo reached into the inside of his chest pocket to pick it up.I played with my fingers, draw

A low drum made my head hurt. The driver was choosing to listen to his boss by staying in the car, but he was drumming his fingers against the steering wheel nonstop, and it was starting to make my head hurt.The beat continued without skipping a single second, the rhythm turning wilder and louder.I wanted to tell him to stop, but I didn't have enough courage to do so. So I kept my words to myself and sat still, my eyes cast outward at the window and taking in the flowers plated across from the front door of the mansion.I was trying to keep my mind busy to distract myself from the disturbance in the car, when the drumming suddenly stopped.I moved my eyes to the front of the car, thankful for the silence. But I looked up and saw that the diver was looking at me through the rear view mirror.I immediately tensed where I sat, seeing a certain emotion in his eyes, one I was unable to understand before it disappeared."You're Ezabella Viper, aren't you?" He asked.For some reason, I fe

My head was spinning. All I could think about was the man who snuck into the Fimbar mansion, and my mind was presenting me with images of Helena Fimbar dead, or really scarred for life.I had glanced at Jacopo Nicolo multiple times, contemplating whether or not I should tell him what I saw. Each time I would open my lips to speak, the words would get stuck in my throat and form a painful lump, preventing me from speaking my mind.The tension in the car was tense as ever, contributing to my fear of telling Jacopo Nicolo what I witnessed.The drive lasted for another hour before the car started slowing down.I looked out the window and saw that we were pulling up into the parking lot of a small bar. Connor was once again waiting for Jacopo in his car, and the second we arrived, he hopped out of the car.Jacopo opened the door and hopped out, and together, the two walked into the bar.Once again, he left with the driver, and he started drumming his fingers against the steering wheel, an

Elijah and Jacopo left us, going to the home office to work, while I stepped closer to Cilvia and started helping her with the little bows she wanted to make on the tiny candy baskets that would later be handed out as treats."These are adorable." I commented, smiling from ear to ear as I tied to small bows."Right? They are my idea, you know." Cilvia replied, proud of her creation."How are the twins?" I asked, glancing around in case I catch sight of them."They're taking a nap. They barely slept last night." Ella replied, looking around and taking inventory of everything they had prepared."Not anymore." Dalinda, the sweet old lady who is always dressed in pink, commented as she walked out of the house next to her husband, each of them holding one of the girls."Oh, my babies. Are you up from your nap?" Ella cooed as she reached out to gently pinch their cheeks, speaking with her lips pouted and her voice even softer.The girls giggled, and damn it, I got a baby fever. They are the

Ezabella Viper...I wake up every day with my husbamds arms comfortably wrapped around me. Each morning after the alarm blared and Jacopo shuts it off, I would feel his lips covering my bare shoulder with feathered kisses.The last four weeks have been absolutely perfect. I wake up each day with Jacopo sleeping behind me and go to sleep with Jacopo's arms around me.The two of us had been intimate with each other for the first time four weeks ago on the sixth month of our wedding day, and it sure as heck was not the last.It's true when they say the right person will make you feel at home, and even your body will allow their closeness.I couldn't even imagine touching another human being, let alone being intimate to that level, but that night with Jacopo just felt right. It felt like a blessing to be in his arms and to be so comfortable with him the way he was comfortable with me.I laid my all to Jacopo, and I felt he did the same with me.I couldn't ask more for our marriage, a
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. A passionate night.
Work has been silent lately. It was too good to be true.The casino was running perfectly smooth the past week, and so was the work Attiwood left behind at my family's company.Things in the web have been quite as well. The dinner parties were safe, the gatherings were fine, and the meetings were smooth. New members joined in, and old members died. Attiwood was still not found.No more words came from the Viper city after Victor Viper killed all of the people the biker named, which led to the bikers' death. My life at home was better than perfect. Eza and I could not be happier and closer. I look forward to the day to end just so I can go home and see her.We weren't just physically close to each other. The emotional connection was growing as well. I feel attacked to her in a way I have never felt towards anyone else.And then there is my mother. Eza and I tried our best to convince her to move in with us. She refused. So we had to settle for the next best thing, which was to convinc

Jacopo Nicolo...I awkwardly stated at my mother as she slid under the covers of my old bed, the one in the master bedroom.She propped her pillow up and settled down before she looked up at me.I could see her heart breaking as she looked up at me, her eyes shining hurt.Seeing her today, or ever for that matter, was not what I had expected for the day to go. Even while seeing her sit back on the bed, I would think she'd disappear if I blinked too much.All the hate I had in my heart for her caused by the way she abandoned me ended up a shield I used to protect myself from how I truly felt.I missed her.I missed her to the point that I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me when I saw her in the kitchen. I was afraid she would disappear if I didn't grab her in the next few seconds. The thought terrified me to the point that I had to run to her.Even after hugging her, even after feeling her motherly arms wrap around me, even after I felt her hands touching my scarred face,
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Such a nice night.
Jacopo and Vanessa sat on the couch. He was looking at her like he had seen a mystical creature, completely awe and happy.The two had cried in each other's arms for a few more minutes in the kitchen. Jacopo could hardly believe his mother was really with us. Once he pulled away from her, he took her hand and led her to the couch. He'd sat her down before he too sat on the edge and just stared at her.Vanessa couldn't stop crying, looking at her sons scars. "Where have you been?" Jacopo has whispered, looking at her with bloodshot eyes.I wanted to give them space and let them freely talk with each other. So I silently moved to the kitchen and stood behind the counter, still happily keeping my eyes on them.I watched them interact with each other.To say Jacopo was happy to finally reunite with his mother would be an understatement. He spoke to her softly, his eyes once in a while watering. I watched his blink his tears away several times as he listened to her speak.They hugged e

Vanessa and I sat on the couch in the living room, the apartment slightly awkward and silent. I'd kept my promise and waited for Vanessa to finish working on her last clients hair, and Cilvia waited with me. Once she was done, she grabbed her things, and off we went to the apartment building.Cilvia was absolutely sweet, driving us back even though she didn't have to. On the drive back home, Vanessa ended up telling us a bit about how her life turned out once she ran away.Before she ran away, her husband was already cheating. She said she was delusional enough to look past the beating at some point, but finding out that her husband was trying to get with another woman made her realize that he would truly kill her. And then, he did try to kill her. The scar running up her neck and stopping at the point of her chin was proof of that.She then explained how she ran away.Vanessa's story was well known in the city by those who were in the underground business. Even though the Nicolos wer

"You don't have to stay here, you know." I commented as I glanced at Cilvia."And end up getting myself on Nicolo's death note? No thanks." Cilvia replied. "Besides, I'm invested in this story. I want to see if she'll listen to you." She added.I let out a sigh, looking at Vanessa work on her clients hair with the utmost care.She glanced at us for the third time since we walked in and sat by the waiting area.The lady who always worked on Cilvia's hair was surprised to see us back again, and when she asked if we were going to get our hairs done, Cilvia said yes, but we were waiting for Vivian's chair.The lady didn't mind, claiming that her hands were full today and told us to wait until Vivian's finishes with her client.It was obvious that Vanessa did not want to talk to us again, and while I realized that we were being a bit pushy, I was not going to back down when there was an opportunity to make Jacopos happy and have him reunti with his mother after a long time.We waited for V

Cilvia and I awkwardly sat next to each other in the little cozy cafe located across the street from the hair salon. Vivian sat across from us, looking down into her tea cup as if it was the most fascinating thing she had ever seen in her entire life.I wasn't sure how to address her yet. Was I supposed to call her Vivian or Venassa? I mean, which one would me be more respectful and make her comfortable with me?She is my mother-in-law, after all, and Jacopo had spoken so fond of her that U know having a good relationship with her was possible."You know the first time I saw you, I knew you were familiar. It bothered me the entire day. I hate it when my mind is reminding me of my age because clearly I'm becoming more forgetful if I can't remember you." Cilvia commented, breaking the awkward silence.Vanessa looked up at Cilvia and then me, slowly nodding her head and looking back down again.I glanced at Cilvia, wondering how well she knew Jacopo's mother even though the Nicolo's we

I made my way back to Jacopo's bedroom. Well, I guess now it is his old bedroom since I have managed to completely move him in with me.I walked into the walk-in closet and made the drawer my target. Leaning down, I picked up the large photo album and closed the drawer.I then took it back to my room... I mean, our room.My knee was starting to throb, but I couldn't care less. I wanted to see some cute photos of Jacopo as a child, and I was all in front it.I sat down on the bed and made sure I was comfortable before I opened the cover of the album.My smile dropped when I didn't see a single photo on the first page, or the second, or even the third.I flipped through the pages, and they were all empty. I got excited for absolutely nothing.I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. I was. I was curious to see what my Jacopo looked like when he was a baby. But I guess that will be left a mystery.I continued to flip through the empty pages, just fanning through them, wishing th
