BiancaEmma falls back on the floor, clutching at her chest as she coughs, then gasps for breath. Her skin is slick with sweat, her lips tinged red and dried with blood.Panic sets in her face before she begs me for help.She's been stabbed by a seven-inch blade. What type of damage does that do?"Emma," her name tumbles from my mouth as I panic about how to help her. I leave my Mama's side to tend to her because right now, there's nothing I can do for my Mama, but Emma isn't a lost cause just yet."He—lp," she begs.Feeling utterly lost, I promise to do just that, but I've no clue about how to help her. My hand presses against the wound that's seeping blood, the red fluid staining between my fingers. God, I hate blood—its texture and smell.She needs a doctor, B."I'll get help; stay here," I nod to her, holding my hand with direction for her to stay put as I stand up. I take in the mess of the room around me as I circle away from my sister. Both of our parents are dead, lying beside

Again, I'm not entirely sure what key opens his cell, so I try all of them, only getting the right key when I use the last one.I swing the door open, letting in a stream of light from the narrow hallway I'm standing in.At first, I don't see him, and it's eerily quiet, making my heart jumpstart with the possibility my father had killed him whilst I was dragging the men's bodies from their cars, so I step inside to glance around. I wouldn't put it past him; he was miserably upset that Emma's other sibling was on his property.A hand wraps around my throat, my back hitting the wall to my right as a cold blade presses against my jugular."I should fucking maim you and send you to your father in pieces," Niko's hot breath fans over my face. I'd laugh if I could—I'm not sure hell accept parcels.His breath is minty sweet, and I genuinely fear for my life. But I do not struggle; it would be justified if he decided to kill me here. I could lay to rest or burn in hell, I guess, with my mothe

TRIGGER WARNINGS - EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE.LucaMy wife is fine, I keep telling myself. She's in the basement level of my home, in the fully stocked hospital bay, not a few doors down from the very room I've set Bianca in. I've ensured it's solely used for Emma, and I've sat beside her, waiting for her to wake for what seems like an age.In all honesty, I should still be sitting by my wife's bedside now, watching her breathe to reassure myself that she's very much alive after they had to perform emergency surgery upon her arrival home because of a ripped muscle allowing air to crush her lung and seep within her abdominal cavity.Niko did his best, by the looks of it, in a shit situation, but even that didn't help for long enough. Emma crashed in the car over here, and their unexpected arrival, with Niko pulling her out of the car to lay her on the driveway, had me racing outside in a panic. We were gathering the things we needed to turn up to my father's when alarm spread throug

"You belong to me now, Bianca. You'll learn I get off on punishing naughty girls like yourself. Every man to touch you, to see you from behind, will be reminded of that. There will be no more crop tops, bikinis, or low-back dresses. Think about your wedding day, being claimed by a man who has another name besides this one scarred into your flesh," I tease, holding the branding iron for longer than necessary. I have no doubt there's enough burned tissue to keep my name scarred on her for eternity. She whimpers, finally shedding the tears I was searching for. This emotional deprivation is how to conquer a woman being tortured below you. But I'm far from over my anger just yet. This is just the beginning. I lick the side of her face, collecting her salty tears, swallowing the sadness I created within her.Pulling back, I stare down at the name 'Moretta' stamped at the base of her spine. "Mine," I murmured, standing up.Dumping the branding iron in a small puddle in the corner. I walk a

Smirking that she listens to me without hesitation. I step away, needing the space to think about how to approach these questions."Tell me about your position in your home?" I ask, stepping behind her to put the scare of the living daylights in her. I hold the scissors, ready to cut her clothing, knowing she'll refuse to talk as much as she did yesterday.Nothing, not a bat of her eyelids. But that's okay; she'll soon learn what happens when she chooses to remain mute. I lift the strap of one side of her top, snipping through the material. The two parts fall, and she gasps while I trace her collarbone with the blades."Something you should know about me, Little B, is I play dirty, and you're making this all too easy for me.""Next..." she dares to demand."Playing your own little game, are we? Okay, let's battle together. What was your role in the attack on our car?" Swallowing, her throat bobs with her guilt, but she refuses to answer, so I press the blade under the other strap. Cu

LucaAfter taking ten minutes to gather my thoughts about what happened with Bianca, I relieve Niko of sitting with Emma.I thought her discomfort was something I craved, but I realised that her fear satiates the monster within me. A beast that has not been fed since Emma returned to me.My father's work has not been rolling in as predicted; honestly, it all but stopped the day he told me I was to marry Emma.Don't get me wrong. I love Emma and want a future with her. Oh boy, do I want a future with her, but she cannot fulfil those dark desires to harm another being. Those cravings have been instilled into me since I was a young boy. They're ingrained into my genetic makeup.Perhaps that's where I've been going wrong. Has my dark tendencies seeped into our domestic life because of my lack of self-care regarding an addiction I hadn't acknowledged until now?Shaking my head in the direction of my thoughts, I reach for Emma's hand. I made Niko leave so I could have time with her alone, h

"I gathered as much," I reply unhappily. Remember our time together, Ithink of Bianca's answers—of the way she revealed only so much and how she broke for me after only two days. A groan sits in my throat at the knowledge that I need to tell Emma the truth about how I've treated her sister in the last two days. She should have expected it, but Emma had never been the typical mafia girl.Shame suddenly flits through me as I make eye contact. True to Emma's supernatural powers, she knows instantly that I'm keeping something from her."What did you do to her?" Emma asks though she seems more resigned to the idea that I did something rather than convincing me she cares for the answer—I presume, anyway."Emma..." I clench my jaw, tensing my muscles that flex on either side of my face. A warning to tell her that she doesn't want to hear what I'm about to say. Yet she rolled her eyes at me as if knowing I'd try to deny her.She's always known me so well. I bet I don't need to explain myself,

Emma "Ah, yes, the pregnancy. About that," the doctor notes, pulling a chair to sit on as he gives me soft eyes that upset me more than the words falling from his mouth. Scratch that; it's the horror of hearing what he's saying and the fact he feels sorry for me that hurts the most. "I ran a few more tests whilst you were under. I wanted to ensure you were as healthy as possible, but the results I received differed significantly from the ones from earlier this week. So I had them rerun three more times with different blood draws." "What are you saying?" "You were never pregnant, I'm afraid. Someone replaced your genuine results for force ones."Replaced. Never pregnant? "Bianca!"I snarl in contempt. This has her written all over it. How could she? What drives her to create fake news, big news, with the intent to hurt her sister— a life that's inadvertently was something I desperately wanted despite having initially been apprehensive about trying for a baby despite that being expec

Continued:My entrance is dramatic, and I twist my ankle. Barely containing the yelp of pain as hands steady me. "Careful," Niko warns as his hands grab my shoulders. Righting me, he strokes my cheek and kisses my forehead. Then he leaves me, moving for Alexandra, who is sitting on one of the kitchen stalls in the middle of the kitchen. I watch Niko closely tie her to the stall, ensuring her hands and legs are immobile.I'm itching to turn every light off and cut out all light for anyone searching for something to guide their way here, to me.The seconds tick by until he's finished, and I slap every light switch to swamp us in darkness when he begins to stand."Bee?" He questions me as the house falls into darkness. The silence around us stretches out only as far as Alexandra's laugh allows. She knows, god, she knows that they're coming. "Isaw lightout at sea," I whisper to Niko. "She's guiding them here. I'm sure of it!" I tell him desperately, knowing he probably won't believe m

BiancaThings are escalating so quickly, and I'm at a complete loss for words. I don't know what to do with the information safely stowed away in my bra. It is burning my skin. It's begging me to reveal it, knowing deep down that we need to acknowledge the fact that a Densel was seemingly working against one of their own with the likes of another man's wife, who just so happens to be one of the top three rulers of our kind.I'm sure Niko could make more heads over the tail of it himself, but I don't want to give away the game for Alexandra only to win with the upper hand. Because she knows, she knows what Benji was doing there, and she might be the fucking key for the downfall headed our way. Now, whether Benji is the one she is hinting at or if she is hinting at Mitchel is above me right now.Anxiety rolls through me, and a sixth sense begs me to accept the truth. They were working together, but for what and why? And more importantly, who?So, I defer. I accused her of cheating des

Continued: Sighing and gritting my teeth in annoyance, I begin to unbutton my shirt in a hurry. Shifting it off my shoulders, I hold it out to Alexandra with a stern look of annoyance, willing her to take it without saying thank you. Sven chuckles from the back of the boat. He's far enough away that his chuckle comes at me quietly, but I hear it anyway as I make eye contact with him. He never did appreciate having morals. "Thank you," Alexandra eagerly takes my shirt, wrapping it around herself, proving she was trying her damned hardest to conceal the fact she was indeed very cold. I train my gaze away from her lack of attire, aware that my staring might well upset Bianca, and I far from want to create that distance between us. Not after we've come so far in our relationship. "I think you need to start talking, Alexandra," I finally demand with a low undertone, my voice as menacing as I can make it. I want to instil as much fear as I can to successfully seek the answers I need. Bu

Niko The short ride to the private dock is tense and, quite frankly, unnerving as I try to remain stoic and quiet after saving Alexandra and nearly losing Bianca in the process. I want to ask Bianca exactly what happened and how she came to be in that room alone with no one holding her there as I thought I'd find, but I cannot fathom asking these questions in the earshot of Sven, and perhaps even Alexandra. I need to judge whether the pair of them are safe, and I definitely need to gauge whether Alexandra is a threat. How did she know that Bianca would be in that room, and would she tell me if she had planned to abduct her alongside the Densels? I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but the Densel dabble in illegal requirements of girls, even by the mafia's sordid morals and not one family knows the coordinates of any one of their bases. Most girls, if not all, disappear without a trace after they are handed over to the Densels. It's quite literally as if they vanish into thin air

Continued:"Stop calling me Bambi.""Don't you like to be reminded of who you belong under, Bee?" "Benji, I—."Surprisingly, he pushes past me, heading for the opened suitcase on the bed. He shoves a few loose articles inside, then walks off to bathroom returning with a wash bag that goes in too.I blink, like a retard. What in the hell?"Don't play games with me, Bambi. Sit down," he scowls at his hands, speaking in the same tone as before. And yet his whole demeanour changes. He drops the knife on the bed, disregarding it as if it hurt him to hold it up to me.I frown at the door I'm still stood before and I talk in a genuinely frightened and confused voice."Okay, okay. Where do you want me?" I ask."There," he point to the desk."I'll sit," I tell him, moving with my hand before me to show I'm playing his game. Even if it seems demented at this point. I walk to the desk, and I see a notepad and pen supplied by the hotel. Taking the pen I write down on the notepad.What the fuck i

BiancaNiko executed his plan very promptly leading me and grabbing the girl as we compiled out of the small door that led us back here in the first place. But things don't continue as expectedly when I start to veer off from Niko with the encouragement of a hand that surely isn't his."Let go of me," I hiss in pain as I'm dragged by the wrist through the crowd of people. The hand holding my wrist is cold, and unlike Niko's warm and inviting touch, I recoil very quickly from the individual leading me away. I try to turn away using my weight as a tool to pivot in the direction I want to head in, my aim is to head back to the group of people that are now lingering outside the door. Back to Niko, back to safety but my feet lose purchase on the floor, my body being lifted quite easily as if I weighed nothing.The strong smell of aftershave fills my nostrils, a stark reminder of him, of Don Densel."Let me go! Let go of me," I begin to shout.Pushing away from the body I find myself crus

Continued: Fuck, I knew bringing her here would mean trouble. No girl enters the den if not to be sold. "Stop," I hiss at Alexandra's struggles as I circle in a hurry. The weight of her stare has me wilting, yet I cannot concentrate on protecting her as I should. I should be hurrying her out of the hotel, getting her into the getaway car. Yet I'm failing my job because of Bianca's whereabouts. "Niko?" Alexandra's voice shows her confusion as she looks up from where my hand is crushing her wrist to my face. I allow myself one moment to look her in the eye, and then I continue to look around the dispersing people for Bianca but not before I see her shoulders square up rather than drop in relief. "Yes, it's me. Please stop trying to get away from me. I've lost Bianca," I worry aloud. "She's over there with Mr Densel," she points out. I halt, turning the way she looks as I see the tail end of Densel leading Bianca through a door at the back of the restaurant's main room, much as I l
His Pretty Little Liar - The Devil’s Snare - Book 1 Chapter Seventy Three
NikoI barely had enough time to glance at Alexandra's way, let alone devise a plan with Bianca to lure her away from that table and to safety. I took too long entertaining Bianca and failing to ignore the men's stares when, in fact, I should have been devising a quick escape plan as per my brief.I start thinking of big distractions. Having something like a fire creates chaos seems the best bet. We could grab her as everyone rushes to safety, but the Densels obviously do not want to play around.This Passover seems to be happening far quicker than many before it, and Alexandra is in serious danger of being lost to the Densels.No one has a clue about their bases or where they take their girls, but they live off the grid somewhere protective, and no soul has breathed a word of their whereabouts in years. I've lost a fair few girls, and none have ever shown up afterwards so I fear that's the reasoning for the lack of information. And unfortunately each girl is a life etched into my bra
His Pretty Little Liar - The Devil’s Snare - Book 1 Chapter Seventy Two
Continued: Again, I feel the weight of each gaze around the room. Are they seriously waiting for me to eat so they can perve on me some more? I push aside my discomfort and begin to eat. My mind replays our conversation, and I get the intense feeling of needing to push Niko on the subject of his private work. What's their deal, anyway? "There she is," I note, seeing one of Ivarni's sons holding onto a girl's bicep. She looks far from in perfect condition. Despite ample make-up, there's a noticeable darkened mark around her lip as evidence she's been maltreated unacceptably. Her blonde hair screams fake, especially against her tanned skin, and she looks highly dishevelled. Niko tips his beer up, and now I see why he ordered a drink with such a big glass. His movements are half hidden by the fact that he's drinking, but of course, he looks back their way as I try to place the girl's face. Her name is in the back of my mind, yet I struggle to recall it or who she is. But I recognise
