Marco's POV ‘What if Violet was mine?’Just what if the little girl was my blood and we were a warm cozy family?I watched Elara spin the happy kid up in the air, caught her midway, and kissed her. Bubbly and without any trouble in the world, she giggled in her mother's arms, and kissed her mum in retaliation. Her revenge was sweet… innocent. ‘Marco!’ I instantly called myself to order. When did I start developing this odd feeling of affection towards the little monster? The same one who made my skin crawl whenever I saw her?She was Nathaniel's. I hated the fact that she was his. Hated the fact that Elara had something to do with that ugly urchin and even bore his kid. Argh! I wish he died earlier. A strange object sprawled up, causing me to jerk at alert and knock off the bedside lamp as I crashed to the ground in pieces. It was the fucking cat! That was something I hated next to the little girl. She just had a way of making me suffer. Damn it!“Mum, did you hear that?”
Evelyn's POV Wet with wild thoughts, I was melting like wax under his touch. My legs were wide apart to accept him, gently quivering in desperation to be touched. Marco remained like a god above me. One hand was beside my neck and the other stroked my face. Droplets of water trickled on me from his wet hair. “Tell me you want me.” He beckoned, his tone was dark with need, possessive. The urge to put him at ease enveloped me. He wasn't so much of a monster. Marco had that bright light for only those he drew close, Lady Lucia knew her son. “I don't want you,” I played with his beards, caressing his chin. “I need you.” Gosh… How did i get here? Like a crazed beast, he crashed against me, slamming his hip to my thighs. Smoothly slipping in between, he opened me wider, tossing my dress aside. I was half naked. The thin fabric of my panties did nothing to hide how shamelessly wet I was. The area that soaked my precum had a darker shade of pink. “I love how your body knows who it
Elara's POV Time's up. The silent signal of my personal bodyguard when he showed up by the door with a gentle flip of his watch, I nodded my understanding. “I have to go, Evie.” Gossiping all day, we didn't have the time to enjoy her yummy smoothie. I hurriedly sipped what was left of the cold glass and set it down. “See you soon.” I stood up to leave. Enjoying the liberty to go out as i pleased even though it was for a limited time, I didn't want to take it for granted. “Hey, sweetie.” I carried Violet. “We have to go home now.”This time, we didn't come with Birdie. She waved at Aunt Evelyn and perched on the side of my neck. He silent followed us behind like a shadow. When we got in, he sate next to the driver while Violet and I remained at the back seat. ‘Matthew.’ The name sounded cold on my lips. Unlike Marco's, it didn't bring any burst of emotions. There was this feeling that came with going home to his arms… Fine, it didn't happen in a day, but the signs were there
Marco's POV “We have your baby sister, Don Marco.” The stranger's dark tone mixed with his disgusting laughter rang out from my speaker. For the longest minute, I waited on my spot to process the news. There wasn't any report of shoot out between her guards and the abductors. Sofia was fine just last night. We may not be in talking terms, but I had her monitored under tight surveillance. It wasn't adding up. “Did the cat get your tongue?” He teased, enjoying the moment of torture he was melting out. “Sadly, I still have my tongue.” I groaned a response. “You won't for long.” Raised breathing, shocked expression, jaws dropped… I turned to see Elara in a panicked state. How much of that unhealthy conversation has she heard? Shifting my conversation away from her, I retrieved my car keys from the dresser and headed to my private study instead of the penthouse. Since I was working with just a silent soldato, the drilling process was slow. It was more than certain that a mole was
Marco's POV “I need names.”Giving a direct command, with a voice as lethal as poison, I groaned in the phone to the private investigator, Ramson. It was barely twenth-four hours I handed the case in his custody, but it felt like days. I knew he needed time to pull it off, but I didn't have that luxury. “I will give you all of it shortly.” He found a way around the brewing tension. I hissed through gritted teeth, my jaws clenched in a fit of rage. I wasn't having that. Siting quietly in the car which was parked by the estate gate, I drummed my fingers on the dashboard, running wild with thoughts. The thick hoodie couldn't protect me from the gritty jaws of the cold weather as it ate me deep. “How long do you need?” “Uh…” he clicked his tongue. “It's quite a dicey process, Sir Marco.” He paused. The subtle voice in the background and tapping keys were indications that he had his small community on the gig. I wasn't entirely okay with the idea, but I had no choice. Plus, he sig
Elara's POV Madam Alice’s burial is in a few hours… so is my plans to see Matthew. In watchful silence, I leaned by the window which gave me a sky view of the fine landscape, rooftops, gardens. It was already late, but Marco wasn't still back. Lately, he returned late, sometimes he didn't at all. It was his new pattern and I was sort of getting acquainted to the lifestyle. ‘Are you hurting?... Are you still mad at me?... Do you hate me?’A silent sob stiffened in my throat and I sniffled, holding back from crying with everything in me. I mean, this union was his idea, and I had also lost too, but not up to a quarter of his. My presence had somehow fueled his badluck. Against my will, tears streamed down my cheeks. ‘Elara, stop. Please, stop.’I pressed my eyes shut and sobbed, inhaling deeply and hiccuping. This wasn't the plan. Feeling my predator's pain wasn't in the plan. And certainly not falling for him. I wasn't as white as an angel, but beside Marco, I would be blind
Elara's POV Marco was pissing me the hell off. He was biting more than he can chew and I wasn't sure how long I'd put up with it. Annoyed, I paced up and down the empty space of the room, confused, bitter. He had seized my phone and went somewhere in the estate. If Evelyn ever calls, it would be him taking my calls. Hopefully, Matthew wouldn't. “I hate you!” I growled, trashing things. First, I pulled down the sheets and trashed it recklessly, next were the numerous things on his bedside table. By the time I was done with my mischief, the room was a total mess. Good job. Unable to tear down the rest of the room, I collapsed on the foot of the bed, gnashing my teeth, and groaning from frustration. Unexpectedly, the door opened without a knock. I didn't even hear any footstep approach. Marco. He stood tall, hands dipped in his pockets as he surveyed the damage. I didn't react, didn't try to be apologetic. “Miss Alma wants to see you.” His blunt tone informed. Oh… It had to
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
Marco's POV The next bastard just rode in, right into my fucking trap. From my smart watch, I monitored the outside of my home. Once bitten, I wasn't trusting any fucker. Still ignorant of my findings, he fully parked in the garage, and casually strolled in, maintaining his gentleman steps. Soon, he'd ring me to inform me of his presence. “I'll be back soon, cioccolato bianco.”Leaning in, I pressed a light kiss on Elara's forehead. She was nestled in my arms, in total surrender, and sleeping as peacefully as a child with their guardian angel. This was the same lady who almost ripped me in shreds. Elara. A small smile crept along my lips. Gently, I admired her pretty features, big eyeballs, with long eyelashes that swept her face, full pouty lips, long ass…The more I looked, I found how perfect she was, not the other way around. I tried to free myself from her, as she was on my chest, and my arm was beneath her tender body. She whimpered sleepily and sighed in discomfort.
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
Marco's POV ‘Time's up, bitches!’ “You. You. 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
Chapter Fifty-five: A Slice Of Your SecretMarco's POV ‘Can we meet by noon? 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. Lazy footsteps
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
Elara's POV Black - the color of my broken heart. Red - that of my aching pussy. Blue - my body's bleeding demand for a release. 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
