Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. A tangled mess.
Ezabella Viper...I stood with my head tiled back, my forehead and hair warm thanks to the hot shower raining down on me. I tilted my head further back, closing my eyes and letting the hot water wash all over me from head to toe.I had not realized how desperate I was for a hot shower, how much I needed it to burn the chill off of my skin and from within my bones, how desperate I was to forget the ice-cold water getting poured on me to wake me from a pain-filled sleep.I didn't know for how long I stood in the shower. All I knew was that Ella was very willing to take me to one of the bathrooms in one of the guest bedrooms and told me to take my time.I was going to take my time and take the shower of a life.I ran my fingers through my hair, getting stuck halfway but not as annoyed as I was before. I used the soap I found in the shower, along with the shampoo, and washed myself until the hot water turned cold.I avoided standing under the cold water and stepped out.I grabbed a

"My mother-in-law?" I echoed."Yes. I haven't had the privilege of meeting her yet, nor did I get to assess my dominance. She has been avoiding our gatherings like the plague," Cilvia commented.I could see Ella rolling her eyes at her mother-in-law. The gesture was so playful that it made me wonder just how close they were to each other."What is she like?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me."Who knows?" Cilvia replied. "She's never around. None of us had met her at any formal gathering, but words about her often travel among our groups. Some of the men of the web like venting to their wives and their wives like sharing information with each other. That is how we know fractions of the woman Attiwood Nicolo is.""That's true." Ella called out from her sitting spot. "A lot of people think she is nice, at least nice enough to have a good rumor circling about her in our group.""I don't buy it," Cilvia cuts in. "I heard she's quite a handful behind closed doors. And you two nee

Jacopo Nicolo...I stood in front of the closed doors of the elevator, recalling the way Connor spoke to Ezabella Viper.I knew that Cane's twin brother grew up in the web after the two were separated. And until very recently, Connor was working for the Vipers, while Cane was working for the web.Everybody thought Connor would return to the Viper city. But he chose to remain.While I had no reason to doubt him since the so-called peace was in place, I still had this feeling deep in my gut. I didn't trust Victor Viper, which meant that I couldn't trust anyone associated with him. I assumed Connod was no longer in contact with anyone from the Vipers, let alone Victor Viper himself. But it seems I was miserably wrong.Was Connor someone else I need to be worried about as well?Were the two working together?I put my pass code in to stop the elevator from coming up to my floor and walked away.I had a lot on my mind. I've been going around town with Cane looking for more clues that

I laid on my back, my eyes closed, yet my mind sharper than ever.Before I decided to give my mind some rest and slid under the cover, I'd sat on the edge of the bed, casting my eyes over to the bathroom door once in a while. I wondered what the heck she was doing there. Since Connor dropped her off at the apartment, Ezabella Viper had not walked out of the bathroom.For an instant, I'd wondered if she had slipped in a bar of soap and fell to ger death. That would have made a lot of things easier for both the web and I. Yet I would once in a while see a shadow cast underneath the bathroom door, her shadow giving her away.It felt like she ws giving me time to settle in and fall asleep so she would be able to sneak around.I'd waited for an hour to see what she was going to do, and when I realized that she was playing a long game, I decided to go to sleep.Of course, I was not stupid enough to rest my head on my pillow without making sure that I would be able to defend myself.I'd re

Ezabella Viper...I slept in.I don't know why I had such a peaceful sleep, but it was the best rest I have had in a very long time. Maybe it was because I had such a nice day with the Smiths. Maybe it was because they successfully drew the bad energy out of me. Or maybe it was because I had such a good hair day.Either way, I woke up totally refreshed, and the first thing I did was run both of my hands through my hair, my fingers effortlessly parting the strands.I threw the covers off my legs and stood up, stretched my arms over my head. A yawn split my lips wide open.I looked around the dark living room, trying to see if there were any signs of the man I married. I glanced down the dark hall and saw that the door to his office was closed. I reached for my phone that I had tucked between the cushions and checked what time it was. That was when I realized that I had slept in. I was sure Jacopo wouldn't be at the apartment this late, and that gave me a sense of relief.I che

Jacopo Nicolo...I looked down at Ezabella Viper with pure amusement. She looked scared, terrified for her life even. Yet she didn't take a step away from me as I had assumed she would."You don't think I can use force, Ezabella Viper?" I asked again, but this time around, she didn't give me a reply.She just pressed her lips in a tight line and continued to stare at me through her lashes, clearly terrified to speak up again.The previous night was horrible.After I had my nightmare, I returned to my home office and thought about what I was going to do. The nightmare I had reminded me of just how much I hated the man I had become. It made me realize just how selfish I grew to be at wanting to keep my space clean from anyone. It also made me realize just how cruel I had become, considering how I treated the woman I recently married on the night of our wedding. I almost died the night of my wedding, and I kind of tried to take it out on Ezabella Viper. No matter what my reason wa
Last Updated : 2024-12-31Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Patience.
Ezabella Viper...It would be an understatement to say that Jacopo Nicolo was becoming unbearable to live with.The first week of our marriage, I was terrified of him. I did my best to avoid him, and I mostly kept my complaints to myself, too afraid to speak to him and cause him to react in a way that would cost me my life.However, after he suggested that he wanted to negotiate with me to take the metal flash my father gave me, he was insufferable.Jacopo must have really wanted me to give him the flash myself. I couldn't begin to understand his tactics or why he wanted me to give in and hand over the flash to him, when he could snatch it away from me using the obvious strengths advantage he has over me.But whatever his reason was, he was out for the flash, and I was not willing to give it to him.At first, it was all about wanting to keep the one thing my father wore around his neck safe. It must have been precious enough to wear and then give to me as a gift. There was no way

Jacopo Nicolo..."Have you forgotten that I've put you in charge of my biggest casino?" Dante asked, annoyance evident in his voice.Dante had the right to be upset with me. Yes, I had a job to do back at the casino, and no, I was not doing the job I needed to do back at the casino.I have been too busy trying to get the flash out of Ezabella Vipers grip, while also proving to myself that I was not as sick and twisted as I thought I had become.I was also neglecting the mission Dante had given Cane and I to find out what the heck was going on with Alex Fimbar and the case the detectives were trying to build against him.Cane never called me. I assumed he was always the kind to work solo better, but Dante was not as optimistic as Cane and I were no longer working together."I have been busy," I replied."Busy doing what?" Dante snapped back. "Busy rotting away in your apartment when you have important things to do and a case to fix?"I let out another sigh."Listen Nicolo, I have be

Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Break the door down.
Three days.Ezabella Viper has not left her room for three days. I felt lost. That night, the night we went to the Smith mansion for the dinner party, had been a disaster on both of our ends.My night was ruined by the things some of the members of the web thought about my wife and by the bet Elijah and Dante set on me taking Dante's offer or not.Ezabella's night was ruined by someone sending a video of her torture to the group chat of the women of the web.That's right. Ella Smith told me everything in great detail about what happened that night in the living room while I was in the home office of Elijah Smith. Someone had the nerves to do that to my wife, to send a video of her torture for everyone to see.Ella said she had tried to delete the video since she was the creator of the group chat, but that unknown number kept sending the video back over and over again until she was forced to delete the group chapf in whole. She said she had taken a screenshot of the number before she
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Silence.
Jacopo Nicolo...I stood outside the door, my eyes still thrown into Cilvia's bedroom, silently listening to the conversation they were having.From the looks on the remaining women in the living room with Ella, I knew something bad must have happened. I just didn't know it was this bad, bad enough for Cilvia to speak to Ezabella this way and force her to hold her hand even when I hadn't held her hand yet.They were talking about a video just seconds ago. What Video?I had several burning questions I needed to ask, and I wasn't sure how I was going to ask them.Suddenly, I was no longer upset with Ezabella for departing from Ella and running off alone. At least the crazy woman was keeping her company.Their conversation seemed to end with Cilvia confessing about her baby sister's murder, even though she failed to mention that she was the one who murdered her own sister, using the same poison I had tried to make Ezabella drink on the night of our wedding.I stepped closer to the do
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Weakness.
I limped out of the living room, not knowing where I was going to go and hiding before I broke down into pieces."To the stairs." A woman's voice came from behind me, and I glanced over my left shoulder to see that it was Cilvia."Go up the stairs." She said again, nodding towards the stairs.I turned towards the stairs and limped forward, hearing Cilvia's heels echo after me.I climbed up, tears burning my eyes and a huge lump stuffed in my throat.My own scream was ringing in my ears as I climbed the stairs, pain radiating from my knee up to my hip, making my limp ten times worse."Turn left." Cilvia ordered once I reached the top of the stairs, still closely following me from being but giving me enough space to breathe.I followed her directions, hoping she would lead me to a place that wouldn't have any witnesses to see me break down after what had just happened.Cilvia continued to lead me around until I reached the door. All the while, my cheeks were flooded with tears, and my
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The group chat.
Ezabella Viper...The dinner was nice, not the tense silence but the delicious food.It was nice to enjoy a meal even though I felt awkward sitting with so many strangers. Call me delusional, but I felt like I was being watched by some of them, as if they were predators trying to figure out the weakness of their prey, who happened to be an injured prey who can't even defend herself from the majority of them.I silently enjoyed the dinner presented in front of me until Dante stood up and walked away, calling for the rest of the members of the web.I wasn't sure if I should stop eating, since a lot of them were gone, or if I should just silently continue to enjoy my meal.I finally glanced around the dining table and saw that the women were still eating their dinner, so I continued to do so until someone said we had had enough, or until my belly was too full for me to even move.The first month of marriage had taught me not to take food for granted, so I was determined to clean my
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The bet.
I let out a sigh."I'm working on it." I replied, and the two men looked at me as if I had suddenly frowned three extra heads right before their eyes."Wait?" Elijah said, forgetting the fact that he passed just seconds ago. "What do you mean you're working on it? Are you accepting his offer?" He asked.I remained silent, and that was enough for both of them to understand that it was a yes."Well, I'll be damned. I never thought you would easily cave in." Dante said, leaning back in his seat.I stupidly felt insulted at that."I will fulfill my end of the bargain, and after that, you will never even consider me for an alliance with another party." I commented, and Dante nodded his head."Of course. All you have to do is wait until the child is born, and then you are free." He confirmed.Heaviness weighed in my body, as if someone had cut me open, filled my insides with cobblestones, and threw me down to sink into a deep, bottomless ocean.Admitting what I had planned to do out loud fe

I was the last to enter Elijah Smith's home office, the familiarity making my skin crawl.Elijah was sitting behind his desk as he would when the meetings were at his house, Dante taking another seat at the side, while the rest stood around.There were a few people who I was more familiar with than the rest, including Elijah and Dante, Harvey, who is Dante's shadow, and Cane, who always stands with his back pressed against the bookshelf, his eyes looking left and right as if they were surveillance cameras.I looked at the empty chair left across from Elijah and I reached up to gently tug at my collar, remembering how I was sitting in it over a year ago, fresh burn wounds all over my body, when Dante suggested the marriage to Ezabella Viper."Now that we are all here, there are a few things we need to discuss..." Dante commented, looking at each and every single one of us."To begin on a lighter note, it has come to my attention that we are currently dealing with another opponent who c
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Inner thoughts of a broken man.
Jacopo Nicolo...The scene was quiet and awkward. The only noise that filled the room was that of metal utensils clinking against plates as everyone focused their attention on the plates in front of them.I glanced around the table, taking note of everyone present and everyone missing from the so-called dinner party. There were a few empty seats, which was weird, considering there would usually be extra seats pushed in to fit everyone in. Missing the meeting for the last month was not the smartest decision I have ever made since I joined the Web, especially seeing how different the vibe of the group was.There was more tension than I remembered, and I wondered why.I glanced towards Elijah first, seeing how he was more focused on his food and his wife, who was sitting on the chair next to him, than on the tension in the room. I glanced at Dante next, and I wanted to roll my eyes at how unbothered he looked, enjoying his dinner like no other person sitting around the dining table.My
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Breathtaking.
Jacopo knocked on the door of my room exactly an hour and a half after he had left me to rest. I was in the middle of a deep sleep when he came to get me, successfully waking me up with excitement at the memory of where he said we were going."I'll wait for you in the living room." He'd commented, once again looking bothered at the sight of my room before he closed the door and walked away.I got up and took a super quick hot shower, washing the sweat of the exciting evening away, before quickly drying myself and limping towards the walk-in closet. I found the bags Jacopo left in there and aimed for the one I was sure contained the long, purple dress.I put my underwear on before slipping into the fitting dress, already feeling better about myself than I had in the last year while glancing at my reflection in the mirror.I slid my feet into the purple flats we got to match my dress, my cheeks once again heating up at the memory of how gentle the man I married turned out to be.I grab
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The offer.
I saw in the passenger seat of the car, comfort humming between us. The items we purchased were in the backseat of the car.It would be an understatement to say that I genuinely had fun. From shopping for books to the last store we walked in to get me a bag. It was nothing like I expected it to be.Jacopo didn't leave my side even once, even when he himself was having an internal battle with people's gazes.It brought us closer to each other in some sort of way.I let out a soft sigh of content, already imagining the next week I would spend curled up with a book. Bye-bye, boredom."Do you like the things you got?" Jacopo asked, breaking the silence."I do." I replied with a nod, remembering how he had helped me put the purple flats on, the way he responded with such gentle words pushed by an even gentler voice.I glanced at him, feeling an odd flutter in my chest.The moment was broken when his phone rang, splitting the silence in the car.Jacopo answered the phone, putting it on a l
