Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. I'm coming.
"I'm..." I started, my voice coming put hesitantly."Where are you, Eza?" He asked again, sounding slightly calmer than he did a minute ago."I'm home." I replied."Home where, Eza? I looked everywhere for you." He asked."I'm not at the apartment, Jacopo. I'm at my father's house." My reply was met with utter silence, and I almost wondered if the call was disconnected had I not listened to his labored breath."What... What do you mean?" He asked. "What do you mean you're at your father's house?" "That's exactly what it means, Jacopo. I'm in Viper City. I arrived a few hours ago." I replied, feeling my stomach turn as I tried to keep a neutral voice.Another short silence fell between us before I heard him speak."Do you want me to come get you... or, or is Victor driving you back?" He asked.It was a carefully crafted question. What he really wanted to ask and get as an answer was whether I was coming back or not.I let out a soft sigh."I'm not coming back, Jacopo. At least, not f
Last Updated : 2025-03-25Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Hurt her.
Jacopo Nicolo...I paced back and forth in front of my car, tension building in my entire body.I drove like a man man from my apartment to the city. I just needed to see her, to talk to her, to apologize like I should have from the beginning.Yes, she told me she needed time away from me. But I could not, for the life of me, spend time away from her like that.The cold tone in her voice when she said she needed time kept ringing in my ears.She left me, and I pushed her to do so. I can't blame anyone but myself for that.I just hopped she would hear me out and give me a chance. I will stand outside the house all night if I have to.The front door opened again, and Victor returned. He looked just as displease as he was when I first pulled up at his house, demanding that I turned around and drive right back where I came from unless I wanted to get killed. "Yeah, you need to leave." He said, letting me know that he has confirmed with Eza that she doesn't want me here."Bella wants

I stared up at her for a few minutes and then down at my phone, waiting to get a reply from her.But it never came.I typed out a text, deciding that yelling up at her was not helping my case."I'm sorry." I typed. "I'm truly sorry for ever making you feel unsafe with me. But Eza, I would never, ever, think about hurting you again. I swear it."I sent it before I looked up at her.Her eyes were planted on her phone, probably reading the text I just sent her.Exhaustion was evident of her face, and I looked down to check the time and saw that it was half past one.I let out another sigh. The last thing I wanted after coming here against her will was to make her stay up late when she clearly looked like she could use some sleep. And while I wanted to apologize until she would forgive me, I knew I needed to back off a bit and let her sleep."I'll leave you for tonight. Sleep, Eza." I sent before looking up at her.Eza was already staring at me, and her shoulder leaned against the frame

Ezabella Viper..."I told you that I wasn't ready for him to find out yet." I commented, keeping my eyes out the window at my side, refusing to look at my father after he just told Jacopo that I'm pregnant.Early this morning, I decided that I wanted to take Connor's advice and tell my father about the pregnancy. He was already in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee when I came down looking for him. I was extremely hesitant to tell him about the pregnancy because I already felt like I knew how he was going to react, and I was not going to be hesitant.I didn't even wish him a good morning before I blurted out "I'm pregnant" out of nowhere.He and I had stared at each other for a few awkward seconds, and I had to wonder whether or not he had heard me the first time."I said..." I'd started, but it was obvious that he had heard me with the look he gave me."I heard you." He replied, anger laced in his voice."Did he force himself in you?" Was his next question, one met wit
Last Updated : 2025-03-28Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Mommy.
Jacopo Nicolo...Shock would be an understatement for what I was feeling after I found out that Eza was pregnant. And it all started making even more sense.The way she just got up and came to her father's house, the way she confronted me while looking at me hopeful to hear something better that me telling her that it didn't matter, her thinking that there was a possibility that I might hurt her... it all makes sense. I could see why she didn't want to talk to me face to face because I just knew she would think that it was what I wanted to get so I would be able to leave.She couldn't be any more wrong to think that way, but I was the reason why she assumed any of that would be true.I wanted to kick myself for letting them drive off and not insisting on following. I needed to be there for her, and that was exactly what I was planning to do when I hopped back into my car and fired up the engine. But I didn't even get to drive off the property before my phone started ringing. I a
Last Updated : 2025-03-29Forced 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
Last Updated : 2025-04-01Forced 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,
Last Updated : 2025-04-01Forced 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. The pregnant woman.
"I think I saw someone." I commented after Jacopo and I hopped into the car.The appointment went well. Jacopo had held on to my hand the entire time, not leaving my side as he bounced his eyes between the ultrasound and I.He watched intently as the lady Doctor told me to pull my hoody up to expose my belly. The cold gel made me slightly shiver as she spread it over my abdomen, making Jacopo tighten his fingers around my hand.I've had three check ups so far, but none of them felt as special as this one, and I knew deep down that it was because my husband is here with me.I'd mostly watched his reaction to the ultrasound. His eyes narrowed as the doctor pointed out our baby. I'd seen a certain light within his gaze, and I felt joy expand in my chest.He'd looked down at me, and I'd seen a content in him that I hadn't seen in a while."That's our baby." He'd whispered, and that acknowledgment had made me want to cry. The way he said our baby, the way he looked at the ultrasound, it w

"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

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
