Ezabella Viper...

My ears were ringing, my guts twisting, and my entire body shivering.

I was having a hard time comprehending what happened in the last few hours.

From waking up to Ella Smith's phone call to Jacopo Nicolo taking me out of his apartment, from witnessing a thief sneaking into the Fimbar's mansion to almost getting sold... Everything was too much.

All I wanted was a warm... no, a scorching hot shower, and then get a long sleep. All I wanted to do was forget that everything happened, but I still couldn't stop myself from remembering.

I recalled hiding behind the dumpster, the little shadow it cast, hiding me from the outside world. I remember watching the people walking by without noticing me. I remember how low need felt and how scared I was.

I recalled watching the time go by and the day darken. It truly terrified me.

I thought I was lost forever. It might have been a silly thought for an adult, but it still didn't stop me from feeling a gut twisting nerve.

    I ended up dragging myself to the deserted living room to have some rest, and the second I'd slid under the warm covers and my head rested against the fluffy pillow, I was immediately lights out.Despite getting the long sleep I was desperate for, I did not get the rest that my body and mind needed.I'd slept through a horrible nightmare, my mind forcing me to see a fusion of what happened over a year ago and what could have happened the previous day.I'd startled away three times throughout the night, desperate to run away from the nightmare. But then, I would fall right back on my pillow and sleep, only to continue the nightmare I had stopped.I knew the sun had risen when I heard movements in the apartment, mostly in the open kitchen. I gave the elevator doors my back, pretending to still be asleep so I wouldn't be interrogated by him again.Tucking my hands under my head, I closed my eyes and followed the sound of his soft footsteps as he walked about.I heard the door of the frid

    I stood in front of the open fridge, looking at the items as I did the day before. Except, the eggs were double the numbers they were the previous day.It made me wonder when Jacopo had restocked. There were a lot more fruit than there were before as well, including avocados, oranges, grapes, and more watermelon, strawberries, and apples.I didn't want to eat strawberries again, craving actual food that wasn't sweet. I wondered if he would be mad if I took an egg or two... or maybe three.I reached in, deciding to heck with it. I was having some eggs.I took three eggs out, along with a bottom of sparkling water, and closed the fridge.I walked back to the counter where I had left my phone. I tapped the screen with the tip of my pinky finger, checking if there was any notification I had not noticed. It was about thirty minutes since I called Ella to tell her about what I had seen, and I was hoping she would call me right away after she found out what happened to Helena Fimbar. But the

    I stood behind the drapes, once again looking down at the outside world. I was trying my best to pass the time, boredom once again, making me feel low.I'd venture deeper into my suitcases, but I was not strong enough to remember my past.I was in the midst of trying to talk myself into sleeping when I heard my phone ring.I pulled the drapes away and entered the living room, darkness instantly swallowing it whole when the drapes fell back in place.I slowly made my way to the open kitchen and reached for my phone. I grew wary at the sight of Ella's name and phone number flashing on the screen of my phone.I answered the call before I pressed the phone to my left ear."Hello?" I called out."Ezabella, hi. I'm sorry I didn't call earlier..." Ella Smith commented."It's okay. Did you hear anything about the Fimabrs?" I asked, too eager to know if Helena Fimbar was okay and if my stupidity hadn't cost her her life."I did. Helena is fine, and so are the rest of the Fimbars." She replied.

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   The sharpest assessment.

    I say awkwardly in the passenger seat of the car, my shoulder firmly pressed against the door, my eyes planted on the window.It came to me as a surprise when Jacopo told me that he would drive me to the Smith Mansion himself. Although I was surprised, I was not about to look at a gift horse in the mouth. It didn't take me a full five minutes to change out of my clothes and tie my knotted hair into a messy bun. I slipped my white flats on and left the walk-in closet with a final cast on the only sock I had that was torn when I ran on them with no shoes on.Jacopo was waiting for me in front of the elevator, his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes looking into the distance, calculating whatever equations he had in his head. Despite looking like he was deep in thoughts, he noticed me limping over to him out of the corner of his right eye, and put the codes into the panel to call the elevator up.My initial plan was to sit in the back seat of the car, as far away from Jacopo as poss

    If I thought the inside of the mansion was beautiful, then the outside was ten times more magnificent.I threw my eyes around the garden at the back of the large house, eagerly taking in the different colored flowers, breathing in the fresh air mixed with their scents. It would be an understatement to say that the place was peaceful. It made me want to kick back and relax right there and then, refuse to leave the comforts of the garden and stay there for as long as I could. I'd asked Ella to adopt me the second I'd laid eyes on the garden and the freshness it provided, causing the other women to laugh at my words, or at me.I looked around and was envious of the butterflies who were allowed to freely flap their wings around the garden, to choose whichever flower they were mostly attracted to and do their things, to come and go as they wished without anyone assessing every single move they made.Cilvia Smith had first led me to the kitchen, assuming that Ella and her kids were there.

    "What do you want to know?" Ella asked, forcing my eyes back towards her."I want to know everything, Ella," I replied. "I want to know how and why the Nicolos joined the web. I wanted to know how I can survive being one of them, and I want to know why Jacopo Nicolo hates me so much. And... I also want to know why he is the way he is." Ella nodded her head."I don't know much about why Jacopo decided to bring his family into the web. All I knew was that the Nicolo's were always a numeral family, making their own without getting involved with any other group such as the web or the Vipers. They walked the path of the underground world effortlessly even if they didn't have as many resources and profit as the web does. I think it came as a surprise when Nicolo suddenly started pursuing a spot on the web. So far, he is the only Nicolo that wanted in with the web." she explained."Surviving as any member of the web is not easy, whether you have the biggest last name or the smallest. Your s

    Jacopo Nicolo...I stood in Elijah Smith's home office right in front of the wide window, overlooking the garden behind the house. My eyes were drawn to the women sitting around the circular sitting area, having a conversation.I wondered what they were talking about.I knew Ella was not stupid enough to give up important details about the web, but one can't be too sure about another."Are you even listening to me?" Elijah asked, almost pulling my attention back to him. But the woman I was married to looked up again, and our eyes clashed.Despite the distance between us, I could tell that she was looking at me with curiosity, as if the subject of the conversation the two women were having was about me. I wondered if it was wrong of me to bring her here in the first place.This morning, Elijah called to let me know that the Viper Princess had given his wife a phone call, claiming to see someone sneaking into the Fimbar Mansion. I had a lot of questions when I first acquired that

  • 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

    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

    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

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   He's gone.

    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

    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

  • Forced 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

  • 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.
