Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Unwanted gathering.
I stared at the door with confusion. There was no way that the man I saw stepping out of the elevator was my husband. He knocked again, but this time around, it was a knock of frustration, not as soft as the first three were. "I'm not going to tell you again. Get out now." Jacopo ordered, his voice growing more and more impatient. "Don't make me break this door down." He threatened. I took a huge gasp of air in to relax my burning lungs. With the hair drier pressed to my chest, I took a step closer to the door, then another, then another, until I was standing right in front of it. I slowly reached for the door knob, my hand uncontrollably shaking at the thought of what I would find on the other side of it. Surly, I remember what Eliot Williamson sounded like. Heck, how could I ever forget his voice when he's angry or even calm? But what about the man I saw then? "Any minute now." Jacopo's deep voice reached me once more, and I forced myself to unlock the door before I pulled i

My father looked down at me with disapproval in his gaze.It was unsettling to experience such a look on the leader of the Viper's face, and it made me shift on my feet uncomfortably."I'm not hiding." I whispered, casting my eyes down to the floor.I heard my father softly hum as he pressed his back against the wall, mirroring my standing position while keeping a safe distance between us. At least he respected my fear of people to this extent. It just would have been better if he hadn't sold me off, knowing well enough what I had gone through."It's time for you to move on, Bella." He commented, keeping his voice low enough only for my ears to reach.I glanced at him."It's only been a year. How do you expect me to move on already?" I questioned, the thought baffling me to the point of frustration.My father dropped his eyes on me."You can't let it hold you down forever, now can you?" He said, shaking his head at either my words or his own."You don't understand." I whispered, looki

Jacopo Nicolo...Smoke rose to the high ceiling of the room, a small dot of fire burning from the end of a cigarette that one of the members of the web decided to light.I kept my gaze on the man and the danger the cigarette possessed.One flick of fire on the luxurious carpet, and we'd all be crisps."Antonio?" Dante called out to the man with the lit cigarette. "Put that damn cigarette out." He ordered before he turned his attention to me."And Nicolo?" He called out, forcing my eyes away from Antonio to look at Dante. "Stop eyeing Antonio like he would torch us any second and focus on the damn meeting."His order made something rise in me, a vulnerability that made me feel like I was standing naked in front of the whole room. I swallowed the anger that followed after it and kept my eyes away from the idiot who decided to light a cigarette in a closed room.My fingers itched, and it felt as if the flames were licking my skin all over again, leaving a heavier and an even ugl
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Produce an heir.
"Produce an heir?" I asked in a calm voice, staring at Dante and waiting for the punch line and the stupid joke he was trying to make."Yes. Produce an Heir." Dante repeated. "Marriage won't be enough to end the war that has been going on between the Vipers and the web. It will put a good pause to it, but there will come a time when one of us might turn our backs to each other. Blood, on the other hand, was thicker and unbreakable compared to any other form of alliance. You, producing an heir with the Viper Princess, will tie them to us with blood, and that means we will manage to end the war once and for all." Dante explained.Silence fell between us. It was as if there was a staring contest between Dante and I. I waited for him to tell me he was kidding. He must be. But he stared back at me with seriousness.A mixture of a scoff and a chuckle bubbled up my chest, a whip of confusion lashing my body."Are you kidding?" I asked, and Dante merely tilted his head to the side, staring a

Ezabella Viper... The ride back to the apartment building was just as silent as the ride to the gathering. It was not a comfortable silence that would have allowed me to relax. It was the kind of silence that left me tense and uncomfortable. I stuck to the back seat of the car, and I was glad I was not told to sit in the front. I kept my gaze planted on the window, blankly staring out as my hand absently rubbed at the soreness in my knee. Standing for too long was not a good choice. It made my injured leg hurt ten times more than it did the day before. When we arrived at the building, Jacopo Nicolo parked the car at his spot, and the two of us made our way to the apartment in total silence. My mind was still in the small flash my father gave me, the string tied around my neck and hiding under the black dress. A small part of me wanted to find out what was so important that my father wore it around his neck. I wondered how long he had it since he only gave it to me when he saw ho

I sat on the single long couch, blankly staring at the closed elevator doors, my mind empty and eyes distant.Time seemed to blur away, and I was quickly losing tract of it. After having an unsatisfying breakfast/lunch, trying to feel my hunkered belly with nothing but a few strawberries and flat water, I'd limped over to the couch to ease the pain in my right knee and hip.It was truly getting worse with each passing second, and no amount of massaging was helping lessen the ache deep in my bones.The apartment floor was awfully quiet and dark, the single light bulb shedding too little light in the room. Every part of me wanted to march myself to the curtain and pull it open, exposing the dim room to the natural glow of the sun.Yet, I couldn't force myself to do as my heart desired. Instead, I kept myself sited on the long couch, massaging my right leg and hip.The only sound other than my own breath came when Jacopo Nicolo left the bedroom.My eyes instantly jumped at him, and I ca
Last Updated : 2024-12-02Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Hidden trap fit for a snake.
Jacopo Nicolo...I stood in my study, my right gloved hand still holding the key I'd just turned to lock the door from within. I waited by the door, hoping to listen for any movements in the hall, hoping that the little trap I set for her would catch her red-handed.When no sound came, I abandoned my stance against the door and walked towards the desk opposite to it. I had been playing Dante's offer in my head over and over again while I was in the bedroom preparing the laptop and setting the trap.The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I underestimated Dante's stupidity and his extreme selfishness. I should have fought my hardest against the marriage arrangement the second Dante told me he was thinking about it. I shouldn't have let it get this far.I should have said to hell with the web and all the rest of them instead of trying to find a way out of the marriage alone. I should have refused to show up at the altar of the wedding and I should have refuse

Ezabella Viper...The caution never left my body, sitting tense on my chest and at the back of my head, warning me against the comforting voice coming from the other side of the phone."I didn't get to speak to you today." Ella Smith, the woman with the scar, spoke. "I was hoping to formally introduce myself, and of course, the other young wives. But I thought you might need a little more time to settle in before I approach you. I didn't want to make you feel crowded."Her considerate words only confused me further, making me wonder why this woman seemed to care about me, a mere stranger that came from the other side of the dark world.I had no words to give her, my mind too confused to lead a reply to my lips. "How are you holding up?" The woman asked, and frustration clawed at my chest when I couldn't give her a reply again."I hope things are good over there." She added when I refused to let my voice be heard. "Us wives are going to have a gathering of our own tomorrow, and I h

I started by drawing the thick drapes and letting sun shower the living room, instantly making it much better than it was when I first arrived. I then went into the kitchen to first check if there was anything around that would result in a proper meal.The boiled eggs were at the same spot as I had left them when I decided to leave for the Viper city, and the remaining fruits looked a bit off considering the amount of time they were left in there. And from the clean trash can, I could tell that Jacopo had not been eating.I pulled my phone out, exiting out of the list of contact numbers from when I gave my father a call just minutes ago, and looked into the restaurants Jacopo and I used to order from.I knew he had a few favorites, so I decided to order from a few of them in case he was feeling of having a variety.Until I food arrived, I bussied myself by cleaning the fridge and them pacing around when I had nothing else to do.All of the food arrived maybe about thirty minutes later
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Things to do.
The drive to Jacopo's apartment was silent. There was a car following after my father and I as he was planning on staying in the web city to make sure that I was safe. My stomach was fluttering with a lot of emotions, the most dominant once being fear and doubt."I want you to keep your phone on you every single second of the day and night. Understood?" My father commented as he stopped the car in front of the tall apartment building."Undrestood." I nodded my head."I also need you to keep me updated. I want your morning texts to be morning, noon, and night. Okay?""Okay?""Oh, and one more thing. Do not forget what you promised me. You sense any danger, then I was you out of there. Okay.""I'll keep my promise, Dad." I said, taking my seatbelt off and twisting in my seat to give him a hug."I'll be okay, Dad." I whispered.He let out a tired sigh as he patted me on the head."I'll trust that you'll be." He replied when I pulled away."I'm going to go now." I announced before I grab

I was discharged a few hours later, and it took me a great deal of convincing my father to let me see Jacopo one more time before we left."You'll see him at the funeral." My father had argued when I asked him to let me see my husband first, but he let me go to Jacopo's room first before we left, and disappointment hit me when I saw that Jacopo was no longer there, only Dante, who was sitting on the chair by the bedside, the same one that was turned over when Jacopo attacked him."Where did he go?" I asked, looking at the empty bed."He's gone." He replied."Where?""Probably to his apartment." I heard my father sigh."And you just let him go?" I questioned, looking at my husband's boss with a frown on my face.Dante didn't give me a reply, which gave my father space to butt in."There you have it, Bella. Now let's go. You'll see him at the funeral anyway." He commented as he turned around to leave.I had no other choice but to follow him, knowing that I couldn't get myself to the ap
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Get out
Ezabella Viper...I woke up with a blinding headache, my eyes barely able to see around me. It took me some time to register that I was in a hospital room, sleeping in a hospital bed."Bella?" A familiar voice called out, forcing my eyes to shirt towards the bedside chair.My father's bruised face came into view."Bella," he called out again, hovering over my, his hands reaching for mine.Within the next seconds, he was running out of the hospital room to get someone and back with whoever he had gone searching for.The next few minutes went on as a woman examined me, shining light into my eyes, asking me how I felt, specifically how my head felt, and then proceeding to tell my father and I that I had a mild concussion and should be fine.My biggest worry was the health of my baby, as I recall being tossed around after those men dragged me out of the flipped car and into the trunk of their own. The most the doctor could tell me was that I needed rest and continuous supervision j
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Couldn't let her go.
My car stopped just outside of town, and from the previous location of where my mother was being kept, I could tell that I had about thirty more minutes of driving left to get there. And if I chose to go on foot, then it was guaranteed that it would significantly decrease the chances of my mother's survival.But I wasn't going to do anything by sitting around and waiting for something to happen. I needed to be moving, so, retrieving the phone from the floor of the car, I hopped out of the car and slammed it shut as hard as I could, venting some of my frustration out.I started speed walking no matter how exhausted my body was. I've already lost a good amount of blood, and I had enough in my body to barely move around.But my mother.I need to get to my mother.I could feel chill creeping up in me. I could feel the blood draining from my face, most probably leaving me as pale as a ghost.But I couldn't stop.The sliver of hope in my heart was forcing me to keep going.I knew I would die
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Running out of time.
The bark of the gunshot nearly deafened me. Blood splattered on the floor as a loud gasp echoed in the warehouse, filling in the silence left after the gunshot. Blood made my face wet. I watched as attiwood crashed on the ground, her knees almost cracking at the empact.Blood bubbled up her throat and slid down her chin. She lost her grip on the revolver, the small gun falling to the ground in front of her.She looked in shock as she looked down at her chest, her clothes wet from her own blood.I looked past her shoulder as footsteps echoed through the warehouse, a few masked gun men rushing in and pointing their guns at every dark corner.Victor was with the men, his bruised and cut-up face unmasked unlike the rest of them, smoke flowing out of the barrel of his glock.He'd shot Attiwood. He rushed forwards, heavily limping as he pushed past the struggling old witch in her knees. He pushed me aside to look at Eza, scooping her up in his arms as he called out her name."Bella? Bella
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. The failed test.
Jacopo Nicolo...Elizabeth had sent me two texts which contained the locations of where my mother and wife were, two very separate locations that would each take about five hours to drive to if the starting location is my apartment building.I was already four hours into the drive back to the Vipers city, having to take a few minutes to stop at the gas station to fill up my tank.I kept calling anyone whose phone numbers I could remember, but it felt like the entire world was against me, completely shut off, cutting contact from me.I knew there was no use in calling Elijah again to ask for help, but I did call him to tell him that Dante was not answering his phone and that I needed him to make the call until he picks up so he can let the boss know of our situation.I expected to hear from Dante after that, but apparently, he wasn't answering for Elijah either, and neither was his shadow Harvey.I realized that I was pretty much alone in this. It made me wonder through the long dr
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Father-Daughter day.
Ezabella Viper...I didn't want to stay home hiding in my room, which was a new behavior in this house. Staying at home meant that I was going to draw in my thoughts that I was going to think about everything that went wrong in my life. I would think about how Jacopo's car is no longer parked in my driveway. I would think about the way he reacted when my father let slip about the pregnancy, trying to figure out what every tik of his facial muscle meant.I had lunch with my father, and I returned to my room to pull comfortable shoes on so I could go on a walk, or even drop by the places I wanted to revisit since I returned to this city.I had the three sonogram tucked in my bag, along with my phone and the library card I have from over a year ago, in case it still works, making my way down the stairs to quietly leave."Where are you going?" My father's voice stopped me mid hall.I turned around and glanced at him."I'm going out for a walk." I replied."By yourself?" He shot back,
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Chose.
I had lost track of time when I finally entered the city. I drove straight to the apartment building and stopped the car right in front of the front entrance. I pushed the door open without even turning the engine off and ran towards the front entrance, not bothering to shut the door.I ran to the elevator, and the short wait until the doors opened. I jumped in, pressing the number that would lead me to my mother's floor with such a force that I was sure it almost fell off.My hands were shaking as I looked up at the numbers change with each floor I passed.When the doors finally opened after what felt like a lifetime, I sprinted out of the elevator.My target was my mother's apartment, and my heart leaped into my throat when I found the door left wildly open. I ran past it."Mom!" I called out, running around the obviously empty apartment, not willing to accept the fact that she was in danger."MOM!" I stopped in the center of the living room, my eyes burning with tears of anger and
