His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 72. Score to settle
COLEI stood in the middle of the hall in my parents' house, my hand in my pocket, fingering the ring that I had been carrying since she abandoned it on the nightstand and left without a word. And with each stroke of my finger on that cool metal, I felt a profound sense of emptiness in my chest. Like someone took my heart in a cruel grip and wrenched it out of my chest without any care.I knew it was a possibility, I knew this could happen but it still it hurt so much that the pain of it had brought me down to my knees on the morning that I woke up alone in the bed with her gone. And found the ring on the nightstand, abandoned. Forgotten. It had been two weeks, four days and ten hours. And every moment had been like someone was stabbing me in the chest on the empty space where my heart should be. Now my plan which seemed great at the time I decided to go through to make her accept my terms, suddenly felt irrelevant. Stupid, even. Small even, in comparison to the ache that had taken r

VIOLET“You found her.”“I did.” Alex replied, his green gaze fixed on the girl he has been unable to keep his eyes off.I followed his gaze to look at Scarlett, the girl he was searching for and finally found. She was sitting sandwiched between Kiara and Bree as they conversed. “I never thought that you’d fall in love.” “It’s not—” I stared at him, my eyes daring him to deny me. He raked his fingers through his dark hair in a rare move of vulnerability. “You can deny it all you want but all of us already know how much you love her.” I sighed, looked at where Brandon and Elle were engrossed into each other and I doubted they cared about anything happening around them in the moment. I said, “It’s scary. But you can’t run away from it.”He scoffed. “You are one to talk. Cole and you have been doing just fine.” The ache I had been trying to ignore by letting myself get lost in the happiness of all the couples surrounding me returned with a vengeance. He continued, like the cold hearted
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 74. A Billionaire hier
VIOLETI stood there beside Alex and watched as he stepped inside the living room. Cole came into view as Sebastian moved out of the way, being dragged away by Alice. Everyone seemed to be talking at once, I even heard Elle’s remark about him looking so different and he did. The moment my eyes fell on him, my heart skipped a beat and almost leaped out of my chest. I had spent countless hours yearning for his presence, and seeing him at that moment felt like a warm ray of sunshine after a long winter, even though he hasn’t even glanced around to look for me— not even once. “Look at him. No doubt he was playing being a billionaire heir to pay you any attention.” Alex mumbled from my side, but there was no bitterness in his words. He actually sounded like he was bragging. He had a weird kind of relationship with Cole. Not like the one Mad had of best friend and brother, but different. But I didn't pay Alex any attention, because right then all my attention was on the man who filled ou
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 75. It's never fûcking over
COLEI tried to stop myself because I could see it in her eyes that she was ready to give in, ready to stop being so stubborn that our relationship was put on the line. But it seemed I was the one who couldn't take it anymore, no matter how much I pretend to not care, the moment I had walked in I had been aware of her like she was an extended part of my body not a whole other person. And the fact that she was standing there with Alex was like nails dragging down the bleeding walls of my heart.And now as I stood there, having followed her to her bedroom because I couldn't stay away, my eyes refused to look anywhere but at her. She was like an oasis of cold water in the hot desert, the sight of her had that effect on me. I could feel my heart racing, my emotions in a whirlwind of their own. Somehow, she looked more beautiful than ever.As transfixed as I was, she too stared at me, unwavering, and there was no hiding the pain and longing in her eyes that I knew mirrored in mine. I wante
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 76. It hurts everywhere
VIOLETI don’t want to do this, I thought to myself. But one glance at the girls and I knew I didn’t have a choice. They all wanted to know where their husbands were and that they could be in danger were making them desperate for any information they could get. And with Cole being the only person here, they think I was the key to get that information. If only they knew what had happened not few hours back, they wouldn’t even suggest it.But they already had an argument with Cole, who wasn’t budging from his guard duties like the good protector that he was. The only problem was Scarlett, who refused to stay put, even the kid’ pictures didn’t lessen her worries. All she wanted was to have Alex back where she could make sure that he was safe, and I understood it. I understood her need to make sure that the man she loved was alright, if it was me in her place maybe I’d have been worse. But knowing Cole, I knew he wouldn’t let them go and it wasn’t just because every men in the house will
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 77. He'll be alright
VIOLETWith dread spreading through me faster than my heart could pump the blôod in my body, I turned the corner of the hospital corridor and found my family pacing the tiled floor. The white of it reminded me of the time and place, I'd rather not think about at such a time. I focused back in the present and saw Dom, who looked like he was about to have a breakdown as he gripped the back of his neck and let out a frustrated growl. My eyes slid to Brandon who appeared like he was still in a shocked state while Kiara and Elle clung to each other, trying to provide comfort to each other. One glance at Mad told me that he was barely holding on from flipping out because of Bree who was unable to control her tears as she silently sobbed in his chest. But it wasn’t what had cracks forming in my chest, it was Scarlett. She looked like death has washed over her. Looking at her, I remembered the first thought that had come to my mind when Cole had broken the news of Alex being shot— I had told
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 78. It was positive
TWO WEEKS LATER...COLE“Where is he?” I asked as soon as I entered the house and found my mother pacing in the entrance hall.“I managed to send him upstairs to his room.” My mother answered, her concerned filled eyes meeting mine. She said, “I don't think it’s the right thing for him to stay here. It's only hurting him.”I had thought about it too, but as long as Lily doesn’t wake up, I couldn’t just ask him to move out or send him somewhere on his own when he wasn’t even eighteen. And, it wasn’t like I had forced him to stay with us here, it was Sebastian’s own choice. “What exactly happened?” I asked, as she hadn’t told me everything when she had asked me to come home because he got into fight with one of the staff members.My mother relayed what the twins saw and heard. A young staff member was talking to one of the old ones who had been with us since the beginning, and his morbid curiosity about Lily and Sebastian had him asking questions that got Sebastian’s attention and when
His Steel Princess (His Broken Princess #2) 79. To New York, baby
VIOLET“What are you going to do now? Cry some more?” I jerked my head up to look at Alex who regarded me with a raised brow. As I met his challenging green eyes I realized, that yes, I was about to give into my emotions and already tears were pricking the back of my eyes. But now, I quickly blinked them away. “Alex!” Scarlett admonished him, and Mom stepped forward to add, “Whatever you wish to do we’ll be there for you, sweetheart.”“Maybe we should kîdnap him and teach him a lesson.” Dom said, cracking his knuckles, “We can’t let him break Violet’s heart like this. Again.”“We are not kidnápping anyone.” Mom said, giving a look to Dom.“But, for the first time, I am on board with Dom’s idea.” Kiara responded, getting a wide smile from her husband.“Me too.” Bree piped up. “It sounds fun.”“Or, we could just crash the party,” Mad joined in. “Let’s go there and watch his face when he sees you there.”Alex tsked. “Nah. Violet is just too boring to do something like that. She will ju

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
