Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Burning Building.
"The first time I met Attiwood, she told me how weak you were when it came to women, claiming that your father might have done a number or two in your mother when you were nothing but a little boy. She told me how you would be easy to play, and all I had to do was cut her a deal when I ended up taking everything from you. You just had to survive that fire and ruin all of my plans." Elizabeth sighed with annoyance."I'm going to give you a last chance to get to your point before I leave." I snapped, fed up with everything.Elizabeth only ended up smirking even more.Goodness, I hate her."I thought maybe the fire would have changed you to not care about anyone else but yourself. I thought it would make you stop being so weak. But I was wrong. It's funny how you kept that new wife of yours alive."I stood up, ready to leave."Wait." She called out. "If you leave without agreeing to help me get out of here, then that poor, poor wife of yours will suffer for it."My frown deepened as I lea

It was molting hot in the building. My body would have instantly lost all of its strength if adrenaline wasn't coursing through my veins.I took my suit jacket off and pressed it to my face, covering my nose and mouth to lessen the intake of smoke.Everything was blazing, fire licking every surface of the wall.My heart was frantically beating in my chest, my body begging me to get out of there and save it from suffering the same scars again. But my mind was on one thing and one thing only, and that was finding my wife and saving her from the fire."EZABELLA!" I called out as loud as I could, hoping to hear her call back.I ventured deeper into the building, avoiding the flames and keeping the jacket pressed against my mouth and nose, even though it was barely working.I felt a strong grip on my shoulder, and for a second there, panic shot through my body, my brain convincing me that my shoulder caught on fire.I was wiped around with such a force that U almost stumbled forward."WHAT

Ezabella Viper...The day could not have gone any worse. The morning was fine, except for the tension that was caused by the details about his ex-wife that was sent by Miles, the tech guy for the web.I was glad we went on a ride, and I was happy to see Ella and Cilvia. Cilvia was making a great deal of jokes , making Ella and I laugh before Jacopo appeared in the open kitchen. The way he looked at me and the tension on his shoulder let me know just how concerned he was of something. Jacopo didn't want to tell me what was wrong, I knew so by his dismissive words as "It's web business." He says that when he doesn't want to tell me what was going on.While I'd wanted to ask him more questions, all I could say was for him to stay safe.I could barely enjoy the rest of the time we were in the mansion. Everyone knew there was something wrong, and when Ella couldn't take it anymore, she marched herself to her husband's home office to ask him what the meeting was all about. When she

Jacopo Nicolo...I wasn't aware of how time was passing after I'd heard that my wife was alive. I had every intention to drive to her as soon as possible and see her with my own two eyes, even though I, myself, was not in the right mind to drive anywhere."I'm taking Ella in my car. You drive Nicolo with yours." Elijah had said to Dante before he carried with wife to his car.Dante, still cursing me under his breath, pulled me by the arm and led me to his car.The majority of the ride to the hospital, Dante didn't stop yelling at me for being so reckless and almost killing him along with me. And I had to remind him that I never told him, even once, that he had to follow me into the burning building.The glare I received after that comment should have been enough to kill me right where I sat.I will have to admit however, that my eyes kept watering once in a while no matter how many times I tried to blink them away or wipe them from the corner before they could slid down my cheek

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?
Last Updated : 2025-02-17Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. It's not your fault.
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

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
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. Safety first.
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
Forced To Marry A Broken Monster. I'm sorry.
"Okay." Jacopo said once more, and I felt enough relief to reach for his hand again and lock our fingers.I turned to face the cemetery and started leading him forward to the place I knew where his mother's resting place was.Jacopo followed silently, his fingers tightening around my hands as he kept his eyes on the ground, refusing to look up.I stopped in front of a new grave."Vanessa Nicolo, a mother and a best friend." Was written on the head stone."Here it is, Jacopo." I commented, glancing to see that he was staring at the words. His hand fell away from mine, and I watched as he crumbled. His knees buckled, forcing him to fall to the ground right in front of his mothers grave."Mom..." He whispered, hus voice barely audible.I took a few steps back to give him some space and to let him be with her on his own, but I didn't move too far away just in case he needed me."I'm sorry." I heard him whisper."I'm sorry I didn't get to you fast enough. I'm sorry I let them do that to y
