Marcelo~[Flashback]"Weak!" My father shouted at me, as he whipped my open back.I bit down hard in a bid to avoid making any sound, as that would make him start all over again.I was holding onto the desk in front of me, excruciating pain coursing through my entire body. I had failed on my first mission and this was my punishment."Pathetic!" He yelled out again, cracking his whip and landing another hit on me.I shut my eyes tight, as tears threatened to fall from them. If only I was stronger, maybe I'll be able to fight him and make my way out of here.I had realized that he was trying all he could to make me just like him. The pain, the torture and abuse were all tools to make a villain out of me."Keep up like this, and you'll end up like your mother!" He whispered into my ear, making sure to inflict some emotional pain in addition to the physical pain I was already enduring.He knew how sensitive that subject was to me. He knew exactly how it made me tick to hear him speak so l
Emilia~Despite the fact that I was a good distance away from the diner, I still ran as fast as my legs could carry me back there.I spent the whole time thinking about Marcelo and what state I might find him in. I regretted leaving him all by himself, and hoped to at least find him still breathing.The diner soon came into view, and I sped up my steps at the sight of a broken glass door and a small crowd gathered around. Sirens were blaring really loudly in the air, and I could see a couple police officers and paramedics. My heart skipped a beat.I made a beeline towards the scene, jumping over the barricade. Luckily, everyone was too busy to notice me walking into the diner. I wanted see things for myself, I wanted to see if Marcelo was still in there.A body was placed on a stretcher and was carried past me. My eyes instantly widened and I followed after the medical team, trying to take the veil off the body. I was suddenly held back by a cop, who looked down at me with a stern ex
Emilia~"I want out!" The words escaped my lips, as I stood before my husband. He looked up at me from his desk, and a sudden silence hung thickly in the air. I held my breath in anticipation of his response."What did you just say?" He finally asked, after what felt like a whole hour of uncomfortable silence.My lips trembled, as I watched him stand up from his seat. His jaw clenched, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to be daring me to repeat myself.Whatever debt my late parents owed, I believed I had already paid with my years of marriage to him. I couldn't continue with it anymore."I'm...done. I want out!" I said again, a little louder and firmer. This time, I slid some divorce papers onto his desk.Bronx suddenly burst out into a fit of hysterical laughter. I watched his whole body vibrate, as he tilted his head backwards to howl even louder, like this was the funniest thing he ever heard."You want out?" He asked, flashing me a yellow-toothed grin.I begun to slowly back away, a
Emilia~Gone was the dorky, playful, teenager I used to know. In his place was a brooding male, who exuded so much power and dominance. The last time I saw Marcelo was at his mother's funeral, here in Los Angeles. I heard he moved to Sicily, just the following week, and I never saw or heard from him ever since.Our parents used to be very close, and that was how we got to know each other in the first place. We were practically best friends, as we grew up together and even attended the same high school."How was your trip, Mr. Del Ponte?" My husband asked, breaking the long, awkward silence at the dinner table.I hadn't noticed how much I was staring, until Marcelo's eyes suddenly met mine, forcing me to look away. It was obvious he also recognized me, but chose to say nothing about it.He turned his gaze to my husband, who was sitting right beside me. The tension in the room seemed to get even thicker by the second."It was splendid. Right, boss?" One of the men who accompanied Marce
[A/N: Just a little reminder that this book is rated 18+, as there will be sexually explicit scenes that some readers may find disturbing. ]Marcelo~The constant pitter patter of rain drops against my window sill, was the only sound keeping me company, as I sat alone with my thoughts. Thoughts that revolved around a particularly interesting female.Emilia Anderson! She grew up to be a fucking goddess, one I'd love to worship on my bed.Those baby blue eyes and the sadness they seemed to hide, I couldn't get them out of my head. Not that I even wanted to, I've always had a thing for her.Taking a puff of my tobacco joint, I thought back to how stunning she looked in that red, evening dress. I bet she looks even better without it.The full swell of her plush lips, and her ripe, bodily curves that were out on full display. The things I would do to that body...How she ended up with such an asshole for a husband, was a total mystery to me. Why Bronx, of all people? It made no damn sense!
Emilia~"This might sting a little." Marcelo warned, as he held out an ointment to apply to my cut.His eyes held a lot of focus, as he inspected my injuries closely. It was almost laughable."It's okay. I'm used to it." I said, encouraging him to go on.I watched his jaw clench at my words. He was trying really hard to contain his anger, and I knew it. I saw it in his eyes.He looked like he wanted to say something at first, but decided against it."I promise, he isn't always like this." I blurted out, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.It was a lie though. Bronx had gone physical with me on more occasions than I could count. He just always has his ways of making me feel like it was all my fault.I knew he was probably combing through the city right now, in search of me. The thought of going back to my so-called husband, scared me a lot.Marcelo remained silent, as he worked on my wounds. He no longer had the angered expression on his face, making me wonder what was going on
Emilia~"You weren't supposed to see this!" His words rang in my ears, as I stared at the unmoving body of the man who used to be my husband.Marcelo murdered the only man who knew the whereabouts of my long lost sister. He took a man's life, and I bet he enjoyed doing it.Was this why he had his little gang of tattooed men around? Are they also in on this? Of course they were, they literally call him "Boss".I noticed that Bronx's lifeless body was tied to a chair. The scars and bruises all over him, were evidence that he was severely beaten and tortured, before a bullet was probably put in his head.Deciding I had seen enough, I turned around to put as much distance as I could, between myself and Marcelo. "Stay away from me, you fucking psycho!" I screamed, as I noticed him hot in my pursuit. Was he about to kill me too? Was I about to face the same fate as my husband? Tears streamed down my face, as I willed myself to run faster. I literally walked myself right into this one. I
Marcelo~She had seen my darkest side, a part of me I initially intended to keep from her. That was the perfect excuse for me to make her my prisoner. She belonged to me now."You look... stunning!" I said to her, as she stood in front of the mirror in a black, high-slit gown.Her brown hair was arranged in one messy bun, allowing unruly tendrils to cascade down her face.Her blue eyes met mine in the mirror, but she remained silent.Tonight we were attending a masquerade ball together, and I thought of it as the perfect opportunity to show her off as mine.I let my eyes roam the curves of her perfect, hourglass figure that was highly accentuated by her dress. One of my maids, Martha was still busy applying touches of makeup to her face, as she stood there."Leave us!" I said to Martha, who looked like she was about to protest, but thought better of it. Good for her!I waited till the latter was out of the room, before turning my full attention back on Emilia.She made to walk past m

Emilia~With the hands of a very skilled driver, Chloe quickly put the car on reverse, without even turning to look back. I held my breath, as I sank deeper into my seat.Soon we were driving towards the opposite direction, and that was when I was finally able to make sense of my jumbled up thoughts."You just ran that man over!" I exclaimed, my eyes fixated on the dashboard in alarm of how fast we were going.I also noticed that we were in a Jeep, and it definitely doesn't belong to Jennie. Chloe probably stole it from one of the townsfolk and whoever it was, wasn't going to be too happy about it. I decided not to talk about that though."What was I supposed to do? Give him a cuddle?" Chloe sassed, making me narrow my eyes at her.How she could be so nonchalant about what she just did, was well beyond me. She did save my life though.I noticed there were a few luggage in the backseat of the car, and I was immediately curious about them."Couldn't pack all our stuff. There wasn't much
EmiliaI covered my ears with my hands, as sounds of gunshots echoed through the air. Pete and his fellow henchmen were busy spraying bullets on Marcelo and I, as we hid behind a random counter in the kitchen area.To say Jennie's diner was a wreck would be an understatement, as tables, chairs and even walls now had bullet holes in them. Broken glasses and utensils were all over the place, even as I discreetly tried to crawl to safety.Marcelo pulled me back to himself, pressing me up against the counter, and making me look into his eyes. I tried my best to focus on him, despite the fact that I was finding it difficult to make out his words.Suddenly, Marcelo's grip on my both arms tightened, and he shook me violently. I guess he was trying to shake me out of my panicked state."Emilia, look at me!" He breathed harshly, and I could feel his nails digging into my skin.The gunshots still continued, and it was a surprise that neither of us have been hit yet."I'm going to need you to d
Emilia~I let out another sigh for the umpteenth time tonight.The day was over and I had been saddled with the responsibility of closing the diner for the night. It was actually Chloe's responsibility, but I really don't know where she keeps running off to, these days.Times like this, I wish I had a cellphone or I at least, know how to drive. Now I had to do everything, and still find my way home by myself.I was now going from table to table, collecting all the used dishes and cutleries. I might not be able to wash them all tonight, but I definitely wasn't going to leave them lying there.Something caught my attention from outside the diner, and I raised up my head to look out the glass window. It was the black sedan again, the same car that had followed me all the way home, just the other day. It was parked across from the diner, and I could see a man in black coat, leaning against the front door with a cigarette in his hand.Our eyes met, and instant chills went down my spine. H
Emilia~"Marcelo!" I breathed out shakily, as my body felt like it was on the verge of a breakdown.I had been over the edge for a total of two times already, and Marcelo didn't seem like he was about to stop anytime soon.At this point, my legs felt like they couldn't hold up my weight any longer. With every thrust, they wobbled."Oh, fuck!" I moaned, feeling yet another orgasm."Hold it back." Marcelo grunted, not stopping his for once."Don't you dare cum, until I ask you too." I bit my lips, not really sure about how I was supposed to hold back an orgasm.His cock suddenly slid out of my pussy, making my entire body tremble with ecstasy. A part of me couldn't take anymore of the pleasure, while another part still craved more. Marcelo however, didn't care about the inner conflict I was having with myself, as he slid his way into me again.A humorless laughter escaped my lips, followed by me crying and bawling my eyes out. I still didn't want him to stop, and he didn't."Shit...I
[A/N: Very mature scenes will be coming right up. I don't feel like I should still be warning anybody about this. If you know you are not up to the age of 18, or you can't handle sexually explicit scenes, this book is so not for you.]Emilia~"You need to leave!" I blurted out, suddenly putting some distance between myself and Marcelo.I now realized what he was doing, and I was instantly snapped out of whatever spell he put on me. He was wielding my need as one big weapon. He obviously plans to try and trap me with it, make me forget everything about the freedom I crave so badly. I wasn't going to have it."My sister may be back anytime from now, and she won't be too happy to see you here." Marcelo let out scoff, before coming closer to me again. Every single time he comes this close to me, I find it hard to think properly. It was almost as if he already knew that."What about you, Em?" He whispered huskily, and I felt my nipples harden at the sound."Aren't you happy to see me?"
Marcelo~How long had it been since she disappeared? A month? Maybe even more.Here she was now, completely naked and vulnerable before me. She was shaking like a leaf, and it made me a little cocky to know that I still had that effect on her.I had already decided it was time to discard her a long time ago, but after everything I heard from my father, there was definitely going to be a change of plans. She doesn't get to run off so easily."I asked you a question!" She snapped, and I had urge to laugh at the pathetic attempt she made at hiding her nakedness from me.She was looking like she added a few pounds, as she appeared to be a lot more thicker in all the right places. Damn! I could look at that all fucking day."I think we both know the answer to that, love!" I smiled down at her, subconsciously taking a step closer.I had a reason for coming here, and it seemed like I was slowly getting carried away. I shouldn't be here, looking at her so shamelessly and lustfully but somehow
Emilia~You know what? Maybe I'm gradually loosing it, because it's been over two hours since I had been standing guard behind the door, and I was yet to hear a single sound. I had to come to terms with the fact that I may just be seeing things, and nobody was actually jobless enough to be following me around town in freaking sedan. I let out a yawn, as a result of the exhaustion I had just put my body through. Perhaps, having a thorough bath and a nap wouldn't be too bad.I stood up from where I had been sitting in front of the door, stretching my body a little, before heading towards the direction of my room. I had already started to strip off my clothes, even before I got into the shower. That was how badly I needed it.Finally stepping into the bathroom, I turned on the faucet in preparation for my long anticipated bath. A moan escaped my lips, as the cold water ran all the way from my hair, down to my tensed up body.I made sure to massage my scalp with some shampoo, before go
