His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 31. This is your fault
From rage and pain, a resilient heart blooms. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“WHERE are you going?”“None of your business.” Just as I stated to walk past him, he grabbed my elbow pulling me to a halt and then raked his eyes down my body. His sherry eyes burned as he took me in, leaving goosebumps behind on every inch of my body. No matter how hard I try to not be affected by him, he always makes me aware of his affect on my body.I was wearing a red dress that was calf length and had a slit up to just above my knees. It was the very first dress I had bought for myself last year. Simple and still looked sexy enough, and I had paired it with silver heels. But the way Cole was looking at me one would think I was half nakéd.“I wish,” He muttered. And when I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind, he jerked me toward him, making me suck in a breath as his arm banded around my waist and every inch of my body molded against his. I swallowed as his eyes dropped to my lips that were painted re
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 32. I made a mistake
Anger and hurt spoken without words are much painful to witness. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Cole, please!” I made a mistake and now I didn't know what to do. Stupid, stupid, Violet. I looked around myself and realised for the first time how remote it was back here, there was no one to be seen and because of it even the door to the club looked too far away. I looked at Cole who had Kevin pinned against the car and contemplated if I had enough time to go back inside and bring Kevin’s friends because Cole looked unhinged the way he held Kevin by the neck, I was afraid he’d strangle him.I decided to try one more time to reason with the enraged beast. “Cole, stop it. Please...” I grabbed his arm but he shrugged me off like I was a pesky fly. “Damn it, it was my fault. Leave him alone!” I winced as he punched Kevin, slowly worry was setting in as I saw the trickle of blood from Kevin’s nose and how he started to fight back. “No. No. No. Please, you both need to stop.” I screamed when Kevin sl
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 33. He is hurt
Including someone in your prayers is a truest form of love. ~ A. GuptaVIOLETSOMETHING is wrong. I know it. I could feel it in my bones but I have no one to ask. My worry had become so crippling that I couldn't even talk to Mom when she tried to comfort me. All I needed was Cole, to see him with my own eyes and determine that he was alright. To ask for his forgiveness and to let him punish me if that’s what he wanted. I just wanted him to be okay, to be by my side even if he hated me for what I did. As the time passed, my worry only accelerated and I started to lose my own self as I could hear the tik of the clock in the silence. Mom and Dad had gone with Alex, and neither of them thought to tell me what was happening but I saw how Mom’s face had paled and her eyes had glittered with unshed tears. Whatever it was, it was bad. And I knew it was about Cole. I knew. But they wouldn't tell me. It hurt to be in the dark even though I understood that they were trying to protect me but I d
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 34. Glad to see you alive
The worst feeling in the world is being hurt by someone you love. But what is more frustrating is when you try to hate them and realise you are incapable of even doing that. ~ A. Gupta.COLEIt took me more than a few tries to open my eyes and look around myself to understand where I was and why the fuck it felt like my body had suffered a running truck. But just as the white walls and antiseptic smell of the hospital room registered, my mind helpfully reminded me that indeed I had suffered through a running truck. Fûck.I remembered vividly how I had been racing down the empty streets when out of nowhere a truck had came out and collided with the side of my car. Even when I had tried to take control of my car, it had kept going like the man was taking out some personal vendetta against me. If it had happened anywhere but Willow Creek, I’d have definitely chalked it up to someone trying to rile my uncle up in Italy, but I didn’t think it was the case. Because for one, I was definite
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 35. I hate you
My heart belongs to you, the way I belong to you. Only, I wish you belonged to me too. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Cole.” His name came out on a whisper like a prayer. My breath hitched and my lungs stopped working at the sight of him as I took in the bandages covering his head, arm and upper chest, the wires and tubes going around his body. “Tell her that I forgive her.” Brenna had passed his message to me, and I couldn’t think about anything else but that. I had been clinging to those words since they told me about his accident and then kept me away from him regardless of how much I pleaded to let me see him. And every time I thought about those words, it only brought fresh tears to my eyes. Even when he was in a hospital bed in so much pain, he was thinking about me. Me, who had hurt him.But now as I looked at him, his dark eyes devoid of any emotions told me the truth. He hadn’t really forgiven me. I swallowed as I took a step toward him where he laid in a hospital bed, looking like he
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 36. Live for you
I want you and I want to be everything you want. ~ A. Gupta.COLEIf I thought hurting her would make me feel better and the pain in my chest would ease, I was wrong. It hurt like hell to watch her blue eyes fill with tears and that beautiful face pale as she turned around and walked away from me. My heart raced in my chest as the door shut behind her, leaving me in haunting silence with nothing but pain as a companion. And it wasn’t just physical pain that made it impossible to breathe. For some reason it felt like if I let her go this time, I won’t be able to get her back again. And it fûcking terrified me. In that instant, my hurt and rage transformed into a desperate need to go after her, mingling with a sense of self-loathing for allowing myself to succumb to my need to hurt her back. I wished I could take back my words or go back to ten minutes prior and stop myself from uttering bullshit lies like the one where I told her that I hated her. Like I could ever hate her.My bre
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 37. Bedrest
Forgiveness comes at a price. Who’s going to pay? ~ A. Gupta.VIOLETI Clutched his hand between mine, unable to let go as the weight of everything that transpired between us fell upon me and I felt too exhausted to do anything else but just marvel at the fact that he was alive. I didn’t want to think about anything else, he was here and he was mine, and everything else could wait. “If you don’t stop crying I’ll think you’re not happy to see me alive.” Cole said, wiping my tears with his other hand that had the IV jostling and making him wince with discomfort.I shook my head and placed his hand back on his stomach. “Don’t move.”“Don’t cry.” “They are tears of relief, Cole. I was so scared and I was also afraid that you won’t ever forgive me.” I replied, looking down at our joined hands, ashamed of what I did even though he had forgiven me. “I am really sorry for that.”“It’s impossible not to forgive you, princess. How will I live with myself?” More tears escaped with sobs that

How do I tell her that she's the only thing I hunger for and if I didn't get her, I might really die this time. ~ A. GuptaCOLEIF someone asked me what does heaven and hell wrapped up in one feels like, I’d say this was it. It was being in her bed, surrounded by her things and her presence, her scent and everything that she was but not being able to do anything about it.It has been a week since I got discharged from the hospital and to my surprise Alex dropped me off at Violet’s studio. And every day since then I had been living in a hell of her making and heaven because she was in it with me. Each day I was subjected to her smothering care and as if she wasn’t enough Mrs Carter dropped by unexpected and then decided to look after me herself. But I was quite happy that she did because with her she brought food— food, that was actually edible, unlike whatever unhealthy shit Violet cooks. But I won’t ever say that to her even if my cholesterol level dips or suddenly I start to have an

TWISTED MARRIAGE: MMF Dark Mafia Romance Novel. .INNESSA“Nina!” I ignored my little sister, Mila's, call as I rushed out of the ballroom where the party for my eighteenth birthday was going on. Or, should I say the celebration for my upcoming nuptials. Even the thought of that made me want to vomit. Since the moment the Capo of the major crime family: Rossi, had died my father had lost all his privileges and power in the underworld. He had been trying all these years to get back the power and position he once had, but the current Capo: Antonio Rossi didn’t seem inclined to get cosy with anyone his father once associated with. Rumor even has it that he was the one who actually kîlled his own father when he was just a child himself. Sometimes, I wonder if he could teach me a thing or two about it because if I knew how to get out of it I’d commit patricîde in my next breath. What? Don’t look at me like that. My father deserves it, if you knew him you’d say the same thing. He is the
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) BONUS CHAPTER
Bonus chapterCOLEI stood by the glass doors and watched as my princess introduced our son, Romeo, to everyone in the Carter family. Our son. Now every time I look at him, I feel what I know Violet must’ve felt that first time when she’d seen him. It has been four months since he became a part of our family. Four months since we became parents. And only three months since Romeo started to call me Papa and started treating me as his father. I wasn’t too proud to lie and say that I didn’t hug my wife and cried happy tears in her arms the first time I heard the word papa from Romeo. The little boy was ruling not only mine and my wife’s heart, but everyone else’s in the family. Even Uncle Nico was doting on him more than he ever did on me. Surprisingly he didn’t take as much time with uncle Nico as he did with me to get comfortable with. It was my beautiful wife, my princess, who built his trust in me day after day and taught me how to earn his trust. The first two weeks were hard. Ro
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) EPILOGUE II
EPILOGUE IIA YEAR LATER....VIOLET“Are you ready to go?” I looked at my husband and gave him a reluctant nod. We were at the shelter that the church ran. The buildings were joined together by a backdoor. And since last year when I had come here for the first time on our first Christmas together as husband and wife, I had liked it so much here that every time we came back from New York we came visit the kids. Now, this church and the shelter was part of our life as much as it was Nicolai’s, even though it was the first time that he hadn’t been able to come here on Christmas. The sisters specifically asked for him and showed their disappointment at learning that he wasn’t joining us. It was kind of crazy to think that a man who I had once witness covered in blôod from head to toe, that still gives me flashbacks every time I see him, was so revered by these people of God. “Come on, princess. It’s getting late. The children need to go to their beds.” My husband was right, but in all
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) EPILOGUE I
I have died every day waiting for youDarling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more.~ A Thousand years..A MONTH LATER....VIOLETI woke up to an empty bed but a little note waited on my husband’s pillow. I picked it up and as I read his scrawled message, a smile lit up my face. ‘Good morning, princess. Come downstairs whenever you're ready. The twins are already making a racket. I had to go down before they set the house on fire. I love you.’Today’s going to be another good day, or maybe a better one because my husband wasn’t the only one who was stuffing our closet with presents he didn't think I knew anything about. I slipped out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom, deciding to get ready before going downstairs because by what Cole had shared, between the twins and his mother, maybe I won’t get another chance to get dressed up for tonight’s dinner. Our very first Christmas dinner as husband and wife.When I got downsta
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 106. Thankyou for the gift, princess
COLEViolet removed the makeshift blindfold and as soon as I opened my eyes I came face to face with... My own reflection. But no, that would be too tame a comparison to what I look like in a mirror. It actually was how my princess saw me. The painting dominated the white wall. And as I looked at it, I was amazed and in awe. With each stroke of the brush, my princess had captured a side of me that I didn’t even know existed. I remembered the moment when she must’ve gotten the inspiration for this one. I was in the pool, looking up at her as she laid there on the chaise. My arms were folded beneath my chin, my eyes squinting a little because of the sun high up in the sky shining down on us.And the way she had captured me, my features in exquisite detail, it didn’t hide the fact that I was in love with the person I was looking at. I never thought that I could be someone’s muse, that I’ll ever be able to inspire such breath-taking artwork in someone. But my princess, not only fell in l
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 105. A surprise
VIOLETI was happy.No. That’s not right. We were happy. Impossibly so.More than I ever thought I could be, with the man that I loved with my whole heart. The man who loved me like I was the sole purpose of his life. Three weeks has passed and we were still in Italy, and to be honest, I didn’t want to leave. It was everything I could ever dream about. Turns out, I was dreaming for something I already had in my grasp. Living with Cole in Italy, in the bungalow at the corner of the city it felt like we were in our own separate heaven away from the world and it’s expectations, also away from the things that made me think that I was missing something from my life when I was already whole with him. It became our sanctuary, a place where time seemed to stand still and the worries of the world faded away.We had spent our days roaming around the city, taking pleasure in each other’s company and the sights we visited. Rome was really beautiful, alive with its energy. It’s ancient monuments
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 104 So fûcking beautiful
VIOLETI stared at my husband as he pulled on his suit jacket while standing in front of the floor length mirror. I was on the bed, lacing my heels but the picture my handsome husband painted was way to appealing to miss for anything. He looked edible enough to eat in the black shirt and black slacks. We were getting ready to go for dinner in the city with his uncle and as much as I wanted to rest and sleep for a bit to get rid of the jetlag I wanted to go out into the city more. “My eyes are up here, princess.”With a smile curving my lips, I looked up to meet his sherry eyes as he turned around to face me. I pursed my lips and with a teasing tone replied, “But that tushie is too impressive to not appreciate it.”“Is it, now?” He murmured as he walked toward me. I nodded and smiled when he brushed a kiss on my cheek and then crouched down in front of me to tie the laces of my heels.When he looked up, I cupped his cheeks and kissed him slowly. We hadn’t had séx for obvious medical r
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 103. Group chat
VIOLETWe landed in Italy and was welcomed by the warm embrace of the Mediterranean sun, its golden rays casted a luminous glow upon everything it touched. I watched my beautiful husband as he talked to the man who had approached us as soon as we had stepped down out on the tarmac. I held a bouquet of exotic flowers, courtesy of my husband’s uncle, a welcome to his country. But even those beautiful flowers didn’t hold my attention as my gaze went back to my husband as he made his way toward us and I saw the sun glittering in his brown eyes, reminding me all the time he had been the light in my darkness. I took notice of the way his shoulders were relaxed and the pleasant smile that curved his lips and I knew that coming here was the best decision. As he drew closer, he held up the keys. “I guess my uncle decided to ignore our wish to refuse his gifts.”I arched a brow. “What's that?” He grabbed my hand and said, “Let’s see.” We walked off the runway. The man following us with our
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 102. To Italy
VIOLETA nervous energy hummed beneath my skin. It was the first time I was going to fly in a plane. And not just any ordinary plane. We were going to Italy in one of his Uncle’s jet and it appeared bigger than the usual one. I had heard him talking to his uncle on a video call. Cole had denied his uncle’s offer and mentioned that we could fly business class but his uncle had pushed. Cole had said, “But, seriously, I’d rather not have my wife in that jet where you spent your days partying and doing God knows what not.”“I haven’t touched that thing in so long.” Came his uncle’s accented reply.“Seriously? How long was that?” My husband had asked sceptically. “Four months?”I had almost laughed out loud at that but then I'd silently nodded at Cole to agree, as since our loss his uncle has been trying to cheer us up by doing things in his own way. He sent us a custom made Aston Martin and a Ferrari, for god sake. Apparently his uncle has so much money that a few hundred millions were p
