He pulled away and caressed my cheek as he stared at me. The crowd looked at us while murmuring.
“Resume what you were doing, I'm done with my announcement.” Everyone turned their gazes away from us. How is he controlling almost everyone here? Yoshim can not even do this. At first, I thought Rodrigo was in a gang, but after living with him these few days, I realised he was much different from Yoshim. His voice was authoritative and intimidating. My gaze shifted to the furious Paloma, who was still looking at us. “I know this is fake, you can't marry this slut.” “Shut up Paloma, know your place. Get the fuck off my face before I let my men drag you away.” He said angrily. “You'll regret this.” Paloma walked away. I kept on blinking while looking at Rodrigo, I was so not used to this side of him. “Hey cousin, your wife is beautiful.” A tall-haired guy approached us. “Hello, mamacita…” Rodrigo held the arm he wanted to shake me with. “Keep your hands to yourself or I'll cut them off.” Rodrigo freed his hand and he stepped back. “Get away from her you have no business with her, I also have nothing to discuss with you.” He held my hand and looked at me. “Let's go princess.” He said while smiling. I looked behind me and saw how the guy looked angry. “Why are you being so rude? They just want to talk.” “They don't have any business with you so they don't have to talk to you. No one in this room wants to talk, they are all bloodthirsty, greedy, animals.” “Why did you kiss me?” He stopped in his tracks and turned to me. “That was the only way I'd make them believe you were my wife, I've never kissed any girl in public before.” He resumed walking and we stopped in front of a huge brown door. He brought out a key card and opened it. We went inside and my jaw dropped at how gorgeous the room looked. The wallpaper was floral artwork and the ceiling had a lot of decorative lights. The bed was huge and the marble floor looked like a river. “I'm going for a meeting, don't leave the room until I return.” I nodded. “I need you to answer me when I talk to your freckles.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Okay.” He walked closer to me. “Don't roll your eyes at me, I might punish you if you do that.” He smiled handed me the keycard and left. I started exploring the room like a 3-year-old. Gasping at everything I saw. I got bored after some time and lay on the bed for a while. “Ugh, when is he going to come back?” I muttered to myself. An hour passed and I felt like I was suffocating. I took the keycard and opened the door. The place was rather quiet, which left me confused because it wasn't that late for the party to be over. I managed to get to the ground floor and found a garden. It was so beautiful, I kept on hopping from one flower to another like a bumblebee, just admiring the flowers. I kept on looking at the flowers, mesmerised by how pretty they looked when I heard faint footsteps behind me. I turned and saw the brown-haired guy Rodrigo was talking to earlier. I could see mischief in his eyes. He walked closer to me with his hands behind him. I looked around and saw that the place was dead silent. “Can I help you?” I broke the awkward silence. The corners of his lips turned into a devilish smirk as he walked closer to me. “How much did he pay you?” He seemed drunk “What do you mean?” His brows furrowed and his forehead drew lines. “Don't fucking play dumb with me bitch, how much did he pay you to play along? What if I told you I could pay you more for you to work with me?” What the hell is this sick bustard talking about? “Excuse me? I don't want your filthy money.” I walked past him and came to a sudden halt when he gripped my wrist, yanking me back. “How dare you walk out on me you fucking slut.” He said through clenched teeth. “There's no fucking way Rodrigo would marry a basic bitch. He's just using you to get the 09 fortune. I won't deny the fact that you are fucking hot, I guess I can have a little fun with you. My cousin will understand, we're family after all.” He smiled at me. I tried to push him away but he held my wrists. He pushed me and I fell into the flowers. Tears started to flow as my heart started to beat violently in my chest, not again. When will men stop using me as a sex object? He started unbuckling his belt as he stared hungrily at me. I screamed at the top of my lungs but he just laughed. He got on top of me and started to forcefully part my legs. I was struggling with him when he got yanked off me. I looked up and saw Rodrigo holding him like a piece of paper. He smirked at him. “Come on cuz, lemme also have some fun. I know she's not your wife.” Rodrigo landed 3 strong blows to his face. I gasped at the sudden violence. He coughed out blood and looked at Rodrigo in disbelief. Rodrigo looked very furious, I could see so many veins on his arm because his sleeves were rolled up. He kept on hitting the guy until he fell. Rodrigo got on top of him about to land him more blows. “Stop Rodrigo, you'll kill him!” I screamed at him. He stopped and immediately got up. He dug his hand into his pants and suddenly pulled out a gun. My eyes widened as if they wanted to pop out of my sockets. He clocked the gun and pointed it at him. What is he doing? Is he willing to kill his cousin because of me? I immediately covered my ears with my hand and looked away when I heard three gunshots.I rushed outside when I realised that Hillary wasn't in the room. I felt uneasy while I searched for her in the huge building but couldn't find her.Beads of sweat started to form on my forehead.That is when I remembered that there was a garden here. I ran towards the garden and when I got there, I heard her scream like never before. I walked closer and saw Angelo on top of her. I don't know why Angelo always wants my women, this was the same thing he did with Paloma. He seduced her and got her to sleep with him. My blood boiled when I heard how he laughed when Hillary yelled.I went closer to where they were and yanked him off her. He looked at me with a smile on his face, and I wanted to peel that smile off his face. I couldn't control myself and landed heavy blows on his face. I broke his nose, and he looked at me in disbelief. I rolled my sleeves up and landed him more blows when he fell.I got on top of him, about to land him more blows, when I heard Hillary scream that I sh
Rodrigo was getting ready for a meeting with Fabio. It was a family meeting where they weighed which group was performing better. This family meeting was crucial because it determined who would get more power.“Are you going to tell her?” Fabio broke the awkward silence. “Tell her what?”“The real reason you're marrying her.” Rodrigo sighed while buttoning his shirt. “Is it necessary? She'll eventually find out”“Do you think she'll stay after she finds out?” “I can't tell her right now, I might lose her.”I heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” Greta, the housekeeper, entered. “Sir, I've been knocking nonstop on Mrs Hillary's door, but she's not opening.”Rodrigo walked out of the room and made his way towards Hillary's room. He knocked twice. He stood there for some time and knocked the third time.He tried opening the door, but it was locked. He knocked again, and there was still no response. He got impatient and scared. He immediately called the housekeeper to bring him the spare
“Fuck, I forgot about the meeting.” I immediately grabbed my phone and called Fabio. “There's a problem boss. Did you shoot Angelo?”“Yes, and?” “Well, I didn't know you shot him, and you didn't tell me. We've lost the KL warehouse to him as compensation.”“What? He fucking touched my wife.” “Well, you weren't here to clarify that, so they thought you guys got into an argument and you shot him. He also said you attacked him.”“Is the meeting over?” “Almost.” “Tell them I'm on my way.” There's no fucking way I'm losing a warehouse to that scumbag. I hurriedly dressed up, got into my car and drove off.I arrived at my parent's. I walked in, ignoring all the judgemental stares. I finally got inside the meeting room, and immediately I entered, everyone turned to look at me.The place became dead silent as I walked to my seat. I looked at my father and bowed my head to him. “You can't give Angelo my warehouse he doesn't deserve it., I said with a clenched jaw.“Rodrigo, have some respect
Hillary pov I decided to take a stroll around the house since I was so bored. I stumbled upon Rodrigo's office, and it was unlocked. Maybe he was in a hurry and left it open. I wanted to pass by, but something was just pushing me to enter and explore, and of course, I listened to that something. The interior was boring, it was grey and dull. There was a huge table and there were some files on it.I went closer to the table and ran my hand on the files. I sat in his chair and noticed there were drawers. I tried opening it, but they were locked. I scanned the files and fished out one. I started to read the contents, and my eyes widened. “What the fuck?” My hands started to tremble as I continued to read. Just then, Rodrigo's door flung open and I was met with his eyes.He looked at my trembling figure and later looked at what was causing that. He immediately walked towards me and snatched the file.“What are you doing in my office?” He roared. “W…what is…”“I said what the hell are
Rodrigo Pov I walked to her and looked at her intently. I was just a few inches away from her. I brought my hand and caressed her face.I started to trail my fingers from her face to her neck. She shivered when I did that. “What are you doing? Don't touch me.” She said in almost a whisper. I knew she was still mad at me for yelling at her yesterday. I suddenly pulled her closer to me, and she gasped at the sudden contact. Her face turned red, and she looked everywhere but into my eyes. I held her thighs and carried her in a way that she'd straddle me. I walked to the bed and sat down with her on top of me.I brushed the strands of wet hair on her face and brought my lips to her neck. She made a soft moan and gripped my shirt.I kissed and nibbled on her neck, and she struggled to keep in her moans. She gently pushed me away, but I went in again. I pulled her robe up to get access to her thighs and started to caress it gently. She shuddered in pleasure.I flipped her, and she was
Hillary Pov My attention was drawn to the door when I heard a knock. I was met with Rodrigo's annoying handsome face.If only he knew how pissed I was at him, he wouldn't be here.“We're having dinner together, come to the dining area?” I scoffed and he raised a brow."Why should have dinner with you?” I was about to close the door when he stopped it with his hand.“It's not a request. Be there in 30 minutes.” He said and walked away.“He's so rude and arrogant.” I said with an annoyed tone and closed my door. Rodrigo was only sweet to me when I was hurt or in pain. What an asshole. I looked through my closet and picked a maxi dress. I put my hair in a messy bun and left. I walked to the kitchen and saw Greta cooking. “Can I help?” I asked Greta.“Oh no no Mrs Hillary.” She said with a worried and scared tone. “Don't worry Greta, I want to help.” “Por favour, I'll finish then serve you soon.” Greta spoke in a thick Spanish accent. But I wasn't giving up. “No Greta, if you don't
Rodrigo Pov She had no idea how bad I'd been waiting for her to disobey me to touch her again. I stood inches away from her. She looked down, and I held her chin up to look at me. She looked at me innocently. Fuck she's beautiful. Hillary should be a goddess because her beauty is impeccable. She's ethereal. “Rodrigo.” Her soft voice jerked me back to reality. “I think Fabio is at the door.” I was so carried away with admiring her that I didn't even hear Fabio call me. Fuck, what does he want now? “I'll be back, Freckles.” I let go of her waist and walked to unlock the door. “What?” I asked in a pissed tone. He raised a brow and shook his head. “It's about the shipment.” I sighed while pinching the skin in between my brows. We finally arrived in my office and I took a seat. “Remember Gordon?” “Yeah, the snake Gang leader. What about him?” “He has been misbehaving since he took over the vipers, he doesn't want to let us cross his border. Greg tried reasoning with
Rodrigo Pov. I sat in the car quietly as we drove to one of my apartments in Paris. I was tired and needed to rest. I had some business here, so I didn't have time to see Gordon.We got to the underground garage shortly, and I stepped out to take the elevator. “Rod!” I heard that familiar screeching voice. I turned and met her green eyes. How did she even know about my arrival? Oh fuck I'm too tired for this.She clicked her pencil heels and got closer to me in no time. “Mon amour, I missed you.” I scoffed and dug my hands into my pocket. “What do you want, Jules?” I said while staring at her blankly. “What do you mean my love? You left without saying goodbye and now you're being all nonchalant? Didn't you miss me? Didn't you miss us?” She came closer to me and engulfed me in a hug. “I missed your scent so much.” She said and started to sniff me. Such a weirdo. I peeled her off me and she was looking confused. “Jules, we both had fun, you were never my girlfriend. What we had ca
