"Thank you for the invite and the delicious food, Benedetta," I told her smoothly as I watched a line of servants enter the bedroom and start placing actual food in front of us and I was more than relieved because we would be eating actual food.
It was starting to feel a bit weird.
"You look beautiful, Unicorn," Salvatore told me with a dark look in his eyes and I tilted my head, running my hand along my neck before I did something I've never done before in front of anyone after I became Unicorn, I smiled.
"I know, Salvatore," I told him, referring to his name and I watched as he raised an eyebrow before a grin spread across his face and he bit his bottom lip, "only the best for the guest of honour," I continued as I reached for the spoon and started eating the potato leek soup.
"I'm glad that you've dressed up for me, Unicorn. I must say, this shade of green was made for you," he drawl

I wasn't really worried about whatever Leonardo would say. He let his emotions get the better of him and he needs to stop doing that. For that very reason, I hold power over him. I am the one in control because I can control his emotions.I stepped out of the shower and looked at the wig that I had placed on one of my mannequin heads that Leonardo had managed to bring for me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, looking at myself with no make-up and no artificial hair.I hated looking at myself like this because I hated seeing myself bare. I feel so much like my old self when I've taken away the make -up and the wigs because I'm met with the average scared little girl.I always manage to shut the memories out but when I'm standing like this, I'm no long unicorn. I'm that South African township girl who grew up eating magwinya and atchaar and travelling in minibu

"I didn't see you at dinner," a voice broke through the silence in the kitchen, while I was buried into the pantry, trying to get some food because I was starving.I stepped out of the pantry, recognizing the husky voice that belonged to Salvatore, "Salvatore," I breathed out in surprise wondering why he was up, "you're awake," I told him, as I looked around the empty kitchen.I had reason to be up, after what Leonardo did to me, I passed out and he left me sleeping in his bed. So, subsequently I missed dinner and only woke up a few minutes ago, with my stomach growling loudly and begging for food. I came downstairs into the kitchen and well, here I am.Even at this time, Salvatore was wearing a suit and it looked like he wasn't sleeping because his hair was still perfectly intact, "and so are you," he told me with a smirk as he placed his hands in his pockets and looked at me with a raise

I knew that Leonardo was going to see it, and honestly, I wanted him to see it. I couldn't wait for the reaction that I knew this would bring out of him when he set his eyes on my marked neck. My core tingled in excitement as I entered the bedroom and walked to the bed where Leonardo was fast asleep on the other side.I silently walked to the bed before I crawled into it and covered myself with the sheet before I turned and faced him in the dark. Yes, we share the bed but his bed is so big, it really doesn't feel like I'm sharing it with anyone when I'm fast asleep.I could hear his calm and laboured breaths and I let his breath be the music that will lull me to sleep. I took in a deep whiff, enjoying Leonardo's scent that was all over the sheets.I've got to give it to Leonardo nobody smells as good as he does. The man's cologne is intoxicating and it's familiar to

I decided not to leave the room at all, I didn't want to push Leonardo too much because he's already gone over the edge and I'm sure wherever he disappeared to, he's causing havoc. He's probably with Salvatore, and I wonder what's going on between the two of them, but I guess I'll find out as soon as Leonardo returns.I was standing in the bathroom again, waiting for the thick fog to clear because I shower with hot water. I wiped my hand across the mirror, wanting to see my reflection.Even an hour later, the marks still remained on my face and neck. That's the thing about me, I've got a high tolerance for pain but I'm easily bruised because of my skin condition.You could see Leonardo's fingerprints on my neck, they were dark blue and contrasted against my stark white skin and my face was red and swollen in the shape of his hand where he'd slapped me.I looked at myself, meeting my eye

I cleared my throat and held the towel tighter around me as I looked up at the big brown door. I raised my fist and knocked on it lightly, preparing myself to see Salvatore. I gave the door two light taps and waited patiently, placing my hand back to my side.It couldn't have been more than two minutes until the door opened and Salvatore stood on the other side, holding a glass filled with whisky, "Unicorn," he addressed like he'd been expecting me.My eyes looked over his face, and now it was clear that he and Leonardo had gotten into a physical fight because even Salvatore's face was beaten and bruised.His bottom lip was busted up, and his face swollen but not as badly as Leonardo's. Leonardo's face was much worse, "you're hurt," those were the first words that came out of my lips as I looked into his blue eyes that looked all over my face."So are you," he responded as he stepped as

I had read ten chapters and the book had fifty chapters, it was obvious I wasn't going to finish today so I closed the book to give myself a break. I placed the book down and then looked outside the window where I could see the red Ferrari 458 Italia that contrasted from the vintage looking stores.I turned my head to Salvatore who I saw was still reading and this time had on a pair of reading glasses. I fought a smile but it broke through, he looked so damn old and adorable.I guess he sensed me looking at him and smiling because he looked up just in time to see my face, "I pray I'm the reason behind that smile," he commented, smiling as he placed the book down and closed it, giving me his full attention.I smiled even more, shaking my head as I reached for some more jelly beans and popped them into my mouth, chewing them to keep my mo

Our day had been relaxed and fun. We didn't do much, we just sat there, reading, and then after that he told me he'd get us something to eat and came back with two hotdogs and it felt like we were two silly kids instead of two adults with serious mental issues.I didn't want to leave but at some point I was getting a headache from the reading and we went back to Leonardo's house. The second we walked through his bedroom doors, I don't know what happened or how or why, but it just did.Our hands were all over each other and my heart was banging against my chest in excitement as he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist while he banged me against the wall. Just like earlier this morning in the kitchen, he had no mercy and he was as rough as could be.I moaned as he groped my ass and roughly slapped it, his hands colliding with my ass that wasn't eve

I woke up in the morning with Salvatore's arms wrapped around me and my leg thrown over his waist as he held me close with my head placed on his chest.I blinked, trying to calm my breathing as I let myself relax against his hold once again because I was actually enjoying this.I loved how much bigger he was, and how his arms just held me in place and made me feel secure. Damn...that's one thing I haven't felt in a while: secure.That seemed to be happening a lot with Salvatore. He makes me feel things that I haven't felt in a long time. The bloody bastard actually makes me feel human and I hate and love it at the same time.I listened to his heart beat as I let myself get carried away in his safety. His heart beat was strong yet steady and I felt myself smile, as I listened to it- strangely, entertained by it."How long have you been awake?" I asked him
