Elara’s POV

‘Let this be our little dirty secret.’ 

My mother’s words continued to replay in my head. Tonight, over dinner, I’d decide if to get rid of the baby, or pin it on Nathaniel. 

Or, let Marco in…

Standing on the subway, I looked at the grand building that had ruined my life. Quite shaky, I was not ready to face the devil twice. Perhaps if he was warm, it would only be to get in between my thighs twice. A man like him dreaded commitment, talk more of with a loose stranger like myself. 

Tears stung my eyes. I was about to experience a meltdown in public. I couldn't fathom getting rid of an innocent child. 

‘Not now, Elara.’

I cautioned myself and shut my eyes for a while, so I could get myself together. 

Sin. Filth. Darkness. 

They were the only thing Marco reeked of. 

Even if he accepted responsibility, he wasn't a man I could take to my parents, or show to the world, or even be around my baby. 

‘What have I done?!’ 

Oddly, the strong wave of his cologne, coupled with the feeling of fierce hazel eyes watching me, stormed my defense. In terror, I slowly turned in a circle, but he wasn't in sight. 

Was it all in my head? Now, I was losing my mind. 

For my sanity, I hastily crossed and boarded a taxi back home. It was barely two hours until dinner. 

My phone buzzed. It was a text from my mum. 

‘Don't act silly, young lady. Your suitor is on his way.’ 

Her deadly tone was palpable. 

On arrival, the table was already set. My parents stopped chirping when they saw me. I ignored them and started for my room upstairs. 

“Elara…”

“Honey, let her be.” My mother intervened. “She'll surely come around.” 

I spent the next hour crying my eyes out, and the leftovers, getting ready. By the time I was done in a simple blue dress, my mother was at the door, ready to usher me downstairs. 

She leaned over. “It ends tonight, dear.” Her soft tone bore a hint of threat.  

Nathaniel stood up to see us. A gentleman, he pulled out my seat with a broad grin. He didn't deserve this callousness. 

“You look pretty, Elara.” He smiled. 

Unable to stomach it, I flashed a fake smile and sat next to him. His father was beside mine. 

“Thanks for honoring our impromptu invite.” My mother started as she urged me to dish out their meal. “Our bride here has an announcement.”

Pushing me into the spotlight, she left me drained. 

“Mm…” I stuttered. My eyes caught her stern gaze. “Uh… I want to get married to Nathaniel.” 

She adjusted closer, concealing a smile. “What she meant is that she wants the wedding date fixed next week.” 

High and dry, I plumped back in my seat, a few seconds from running upstairs. 

“Why the drastic change?” His father argued. 

“She’ll be returning to school and needs everything finalized.” My mother remained firm. 

“But we could always wait.”

“I don't mind, father.” Nathaniel obliged. “I'm eager to make her mine.” 

My mum matched his goofy grin. “Great. We have a wedding to plan!”

*** *** 

ONE WEEK AFTER.

The sacred hymn and church bell sounded, saturating the atmosphere. In an exquisite wedding dress, I stood before the congregation, steadying my grip around my bouquet. 

“I'm here for you, dear,” Nathaniel mumbled, unaware of my conflicting mind. He looked good in his neat suit.

For my life and my baby, he was the perfect choice even though I had no feelings for him. The priest proceeded to say our vows while we repeated, and it was my turn. 

“Do you, Miss Elara Saint Clair, take Mr. Nathaniel Vincent as your lawfully wedded husband?” 

Nathaniel grinned, eager for me to be his wife. 

“I… I d-”

Before the last word could form, Nathaniel dropped to the ground, jerking terribly, with thick foam fuming out of his clenched jaws. 

I gasped, too stunned to say anything. 

The church was a mess with everyone trying to either get a clip or help him. 

“Nathaniel!” His father cried while sprinting for him. 

Right before me, my groom took his last breath.

    MARCO’S POV “Your father’s killer is on the run.” Kaid informed me, his voice as cold as ice as he yapped. We were on the terrace of my 80-foot tall mansion and holding my glass of brandy and my cigar, I dragged and gulped, the strong mix of alcohol and mint-flavored cigar hit me hard in my guts…Just as fucking hard as Elara! I scoffed and bit my lower lip, weird emotions consumed me, spreading smoothly like poison. She was young and naive. That night, I had groomed her to be mine, only to meet her absence. Somehow, her actions bruised my ego in an irredeemable way, and it made me detest and crave her at the same time. Her smooth skin was like white chocolate beneath my hard brown one, sweet-smelling fragrance, and provocative innocence! Never has a lady crossed my bed twice, but with Elara, it was my freaking mind! I had caught her sight when she stood afar as if trying to call for me. So, I stalked her and found out who she truly was. The daughter of an arch-enemy! After

With my mind going blank for a minute, I stuttered in utter confusion. My heart pounded as if it would explode.“Come to the hospital right away, Miss Lilian.” The cold tone of Violet’s teacher echoed in my head. The call dropped. My cute three-year-old was supposed to be in school and I was going to pick her up in about an hour… Not this crap! ‘Paediatrics Emergency Ward. Mardi Clinic.’My phone chimed with the message. I shot up and bolted for the door, not caring about how shabby I looked. I hissed the address once I flagged down the first taxi. Mumbling strings of prayers, my eyes shut to hold back tears. My legs quivered and I was this close to tossing the driver out of the window and driving myself there, that's if I wouldn't be long dead from the crazy speed. On arrival, I paid him and jumped down without waiting fo

Guilt?...“Are you- are you stalking me?” Sweet and seductive, just as I remembered, her voice trembling voice betrayed the last straw of her confidence. With each step I took towards her, she pulled backward, and the rough click of her heels scrapped the tarred road. She gasped when kissing her back and kissed the high wall of an already closed mall. Her small fingers laced in anxiety and her eyes widened as I approached her. I leaned forward, towering my huge frame over her petite ones. My outstretched hand pressed to the wall, above her head. “Is that one of your fetish?” This time, I half-crashed against her, my mouth lingering around her small face. A soft sigh escaped her lips and she pressed her eyes shut. My hand itched beside me, in need to clutch around her white fragile neck and slip

    Marco’s POV From Afar, I watched Elara fumble in search of her keys. Frustrated, she slammed her forehead with her palm. I scoffed, finding humor in her clumsiness. As if she heard me, she spun in my direction. Effortlessly, I slid to a side, blending my black attire with the darkness that loomed. Bored, I played with the handle of the dagger in my gloved hand. When I followed her down here, I had hoped to slit the throat and spread the guts of her lover like peanut butter. Instead of going to him, or the client she was dressed to service, she came home. Perhaps she was terrified for one night. My jaws clenched. They wouldn't be this lucky next time. Matter of fact, every fucking dickhead that had touched her would pay for their sins. The creaking sound of her door drew my attention. She walked in and shut it, still ignorant of my presence. For about fifteen minutes, I remained on my spot, waiting... watching.The clock ticked 10 PM. Sure that she was safe and no motherfucker wo

The nasty mess hit the top of what had already formed a castle and rolled down. I pulled the last piece from the box. Not finding my phone, I had yet to hear from Alice to know how my baby was fairing. Most of me wished to storm out to the clinic regardless if it was midnight, but the other would rather stay safe for Violet, especially after the incident. The landline rang on the center table, snapping my mind completely. I dashed for it, knocking down every item on my way. “Lilian!” Evelyn’s voice vibrated from the speaker, causing me to burst into tears. From being mere colleagues, we became fast friends. “What happened? I've been trying to reach you all day.” She groaned. “The boss is really mad at you for being absent…” She stopped on hearing my soft sniffles. “Are you okay?” “No.” I cried as if waiting for my turn

    Elara’s POV “Two hours.” Marco’s breathed in my ear. “I'm not a patient man.”With that, he leaned upright, and took the longest three seconds to study my fake confidence, while he rubbed the tip of his fingers in ridicule. Satisfied, he turned to leave. What was the time for? My mind was all over the place in confusion. But whatsoever it meant, it was dangerous. Evelyn was still frozen on her spot, flustered by the tall demi-god in his dangerous regalia. Like a shadow, he breezed past her, not sparing her a glance, nor a word. The quite hard cushion hurt my butt when I collapsed in it, too weak to stand for another minute. “Lilian…” Evelyn rushed to where I was. “Gosh!” I sucked in cool air through my clenched teeth. “I thought you needed an ambulance.”She pulled closer, rubbing bodies with mine as if to validate her presence. “Who was that fine-ass, perfect chocolate-dripping diabetes?” Her tone was a soft moan as she rubbed her neck and fanned her sweaty face. “He isn't far

    Elara’s POV “Call the police, now!” Alice rang it out like a fire alarm, bitter emotions were thickly laced in her look, and her voice. Confused and spontaneous, Evelyn rooted out her phone and began punching digits with sweaty hands. “Stop.” I flung the phone from her grip and retreated to the end of the room, with my hands stretched to my back, preventing the slightest chance of her retrieving it. “Lilian, what are you doing?” Evelyn’s soft voice totally changed. “Protecting my daughter.” I maintained my stance. “He wouldn't want me to involve the police.” She looked from me to the old lady, and back at me. Her eyes bore curiosity, one I was afraid would go unattended. “Let me handle it my way,” I resumed my unbaked tale. “It's my attention he seeks.” Alice scrunched her nose and furrowed her brows. She was the only one amongst us yet to meet Marco. “Is he some sick fella?” I opened my mouth, but mopped, and shut it. “I'll be fine.”Silence gently crept from my end of the r

I looked away from the ridiculous clause on the contract and up at the tall ugly pile with a stinky smirk. He tilted his head in a ‘go on' way. ‘Dickhead.’ I hissed silently and put the pen to paper, then stopped for a moment. “Chihuahua isn't that pricey. How about a cat? They're good pets.” He didn't laugh at my dry joke. “Just so we're clear, do I get to sing for you?” I played around, knowing what it meant but too troubled to admit it. Mute, he thrust a foot forward, sliding in between my legs, and gently parting them. He set his hand on the desk and pressed forward, almost crashing me to the clean wall. My heartbeat spiked, not out of fear, but for an odd emotions his presence nourished; sensual need, lusts… arousal. “Soft and rhythmic bedroom melody.” He murmured, kissing the bridge of my nose with

    Marco's POV “Elara, drop the knife…”“Stay away from me.” She thrust the sharp blade forward. “I'm serious.”Her voice was shaky. Just like her hands. Fear, anxiety, pain… I fed off them, but this ripped my heart, pulled the soft muscles, and pricked my skin. “Listen to me…”“Marco.” She warned, breathing labored each second. “I'm warning you.”Eyes not on the weapon, but on her, holding her gaze carefully, silently whispering words to her. Now, I was at the base of the stairs, a few inches away from her. She staggered backward, clutching the weapon in both hands. “Let's not do this, Elara.” I muffled, replacing her steps with mine. “God.” She groaned, hitting the edge of a couch. That was it, she didn't move again. Now, I was more careful. “Put down the weapon.” I gently ordered. “Elara…”I reached for her hand, but she shoved the knife forward, plunging the tip into my palm. I groaned but didn't pull away. Instead, I let the blade sear deep into my palm, tearing down my s

You.”I pointed at Ramson's staff, one at a time, my eyes as red as a wounded bull, fingers almost sticking in their faces, and my voice deep with a thick slice of poison. “No more going through his galleries. Stick to his call logs.”They gulped dryly in fear and nodded, eyes pinned to my fierce statue. “And if any fucking photo leaks…” I let out a dark chuckle. “There'd be no pieces of your body left to bury. Not even your loved ones will be spared.”Again, they nodded firmly, too terrified to say a word in argument or defense. With that, I turned to leave, nurturing the darkest thoughts for Kaid. I'd peel his sacs like onions and dice his testicle. The fuck he was playing with?! “Mr. Conti.” Ramson rushed behind me. When I stopped, he almost bumped into me. My stern face was all that he needed to speak. I barely had any time left to mess around. “Uh…” He pushed his lens back to his eyes. “I think that it's a bad idea to go now.

    Elara's POV ‘For Marco to be away from you… Hate you… Break off the deal - Isn't that what you've always wanted, Elara?’The tiny voice in my head questioned its tone was a mix of mockery and reality. Without denial, that was exactly what I hoped for, wished for, and prayed for. I wanted to be away from him for my peace of mind, for Violet. Except now, it only felt wrong. It felt like I had been charged with life imprisonment like I was trapping myself in a box and shutting it out of the world. Marco, the supposedly black demon, was my light, the brightest after Violet. He'd shown me what true love and obsession meant, what it felt like to be loved by a king of his kind. Maybe quite psychopathic, but genuine… or too dominant, but what if I wouldn't want to be loved any other way? “Damn it.”I sighed and fell flat on the bed, tired of the dozens of thoughts going through my mind at a go. The few days he'd recoiled to his shell, treated me like nothing other than an object for

I have something that might interest you. - Ramson.’Reading through Ramson's text, I typed a response right away and sent it, demanding his address. It's almost been ages since we last met. In less than a minute, my phone chimed with the details bold on my screen. Noted. Locking my phone and setting it down, I picked up my cutlery and resumed chopping through the pan-seared chicken breast with sprinkles of mayonnaise and honey as sauce. Kaid was beside me, standing off my personal space, hands crossed per usual, and face as straight as my ass. It was almost thirty minutes past breakfast and Elara was yet to show up at the table. After Madre's passing, it's been barely two weeks since we revived the tradition of eating as a family at the table. “Lady Elara is coming right away, Don.” Francesca gave a curt bow and moved to dish out a sizeable portion of everything on the table for her.

    Marco's POV ‘One bastard down. One more to go.’Lounging on the couch, I dragged on my cigar and puffed, dispensing my thick smoke in the air-conditioned room, as it formed a white cloud above me. Kaid slightly bowed after delivering the old news, and stepped aside, taking camp behind the couch. The moment I focused more on Lucas and my cousin, I noticed the slight detachment on Kaid's end. His sudden out-of-sight mode, busy calls in the guise of work… He was next. And fuck it, if he was in with Sofia, he'd kill himself with his weapon, and his fucked-up soul would never forgive him in hell.I gulped down what was left of the shot and signaled for him to pour another, only thrusting a finger up. “Si, Don.” He poured a shot and stepped aside, hands crossed in front of him. His phone buzzed in his breast pocket. He pulled it out to see who the caller was, stopped the vibration, and slipped it back in.My eyes caught the small frown that lurked around his lips, and his narrowed ga

    Marco's POV Again, Elara disobeyed me… As if the last punishment wasn't enough, she has sinned. Perched to the door frame and going undetected, I watched her banging body wrapped in thick hilarious clothes as she shifted on her feet, nervous. She pressed the phone to her ear and played the voice message in low volume. ‘Lily, I think Matthew is missing… Call me whenever you get this.’Her suddenly trembling hand tried to dial the number. To be certain that she was alone, she turned to confirm it, only to be faced with my hard figure. Shocked, she jerked, causing the phone to almost slip off her slippery hold. Like I was a child, she hid her hands behind her back. Even her three-year-old was smarter. “The phone.” I pulled my hand out, my demand was direct and fierce. Still, she tried to be adamant. It was the same reason we got here - her stubbornness.“Give it now.” Slowly, she walked towards me, her big eyes widened, eyelashes flickered. She looked pitiful, maybe broken. Not

And in all of this confusion, I was warned by the one who controlled me like a toy in some cupboard or perhaps a freaking light switch. Oh, god. I could still feel my pussy vibrating between my thighs, spitting slimy precum, needing the slightest attention. My hands twitched, desperate to defile his warning. ‘How would he know, Elara? He wouldn't the heck!......Just touch yourself already!’My mind was about to split with conflicting idea. Coming to a resolve, I adjusted in bed, settling on my elbow. Bending down to look at my body, there were visible marks of his penetration. One… two… three… seven. The last two were faint- tempting me to replace them and he wouldn't find out. Sighing lazily, I took a gentle spin, and leaned forward to pick up the hand mirror. Putting it right between my legs, I counted again. Seven and a half… eight? Argh!I sp

    Marco's POV Driving home with a fucking boner, all that went through my head were the wild positions to put Elara. I had been too lenient. Softened up to her fragility, and she took it for granted. Turned around and mocked me in the fucking face. She deserved good spanking, harder than that bitch. “Soon, man, soon.”I moaned through gritted teeth and subtly massaged my hard cock with one hand, and the other on the wheel gripper. On arrival,Kaid was with the rest of the soldati, waiting for me as usual. Lately, I've been distant. If I needed to trail his fuckong movement, I needed him close, like a brother. I sneered and pulled the car to a halt. Turning off the engine, I tossed the key to Kaid, putting my plans in motion. He dove for it, surprise written on his face, then he masked it, and walked closer to park the car in the garage, while I went upstairs in silence. The mansion was quiet, awfully quiet. I blame myself.If only I hadn't brought in the devil's magnet, and som

    Marco's POV ‘That little bastard.’ Standing high on the lounge's terrace, I watched the little drama between Elara and the silly moron. A man dumb enough to go for someone else's property, with a full blown mark on her body. And definitely a man with a death wish. I had so much to worry about and Elara just decided to add to it in her loving wish. For a minute, I could swear on my balls that I thought we had something going on…The total surrender, need to be cuddled… such a fucking ass pretender. Her heart was more plastic than the whole ass and boobs of fake city baddies combined. When she left with Alma, I followed from afar. It wasn't hard considering I always have trackers on my car. Just when I was starting to feel bad for letting her miss the funeral, boom, her short ass dude appeared. He must be so special for her to carry her baby out of the house without caring to bath her. Again, I followed them to this… cheap outlet. The only good thing about this place was that
