MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Forty-Six
One minute I was gunning for his head, and now he is comfortably lying down on my bed, waiting patiently for me to finish my food, and I'm actually eager to hear what he has to say.I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances at him. He seems hot, with his veins popping out of his hands."Get it together, woman," I muttered to myself. It was these kinds of thoughts that landed me in this mess in the first place. I dropped the spoon and pushed the food back a little."You don't want to eat anymore? He asked, sat up, and pushed my hair back gently."I can't eat anymore; I'm stuffed" I replied."Here, take some water." He lifted a glass of water from the bedside table and brought it close to my mouth. I took a few gulps, lifted my head from the cup, and he set the glass down."Do you want to lie down?""No, I'm okay," I said to him while waiting for him to tell me what was going on."Do you need anything else? "I was already losing my patience, and it was as though he was avoiding the t

The girls can be mischievous sometimes. I locked the door behind me, and they kept knocking on my door. The knocking died down after a while, and I was on the bed trying to recollect the events of the day."I killed someone, I thought to myself. It was kind of unbelievable; I didn't know what I was feeling, shaken or glad I did."He would have killed me if I didn't shoot him." I tried convincing myself so I could feel a little less bad.I was preparing for bed when I decided to check up on Mace. I stepped out of the room and went to the sitting room. I peered out of the window, and his car was still packed outside. I smiled and went back to the room to get some sleep. I went in under my cover. I placed my head on the pillow but couldn't sleep. I kept turning on the bed, hoping to doze off, but sleep eluded me.I jerked off the bed when I heard the sound of footsteps. I froze and quickly went for the gun, gently opening the top drawer on my bedside table. I got out the gun and waited f

His hands caressed my bare back; it was ticklish, but I was enjoying the blissful moment with him. He buried his face in my hair, and a little while longer he got off the bed and grabbed my jacket."Come on, Amorino," he said, stretching his hands to me. I stood up from the bed, and he helped me put on the jacket. He grabbed the duvet and gently lifted me off my feet."Where are we going?" I asked, chuckling."Somewhere fun and cool," he replied. I cupped my hands around his neck, and he carried me outside to the beach. We were both covered in the duvet as we both sat down together admiring the beach. It was soothing listening to the sound of the disagreeing waters, and the weather was a little cool. I have always gone to the beach in the daytime; this is the first time I'm hanging out at the beach this late. Honestly, it was something else."Do you like it?" he asked, holding me tight to him."I love it." It was a bit chilling, but it was exciting. Mace kept looking at my face. I ign

My heart almost collapsed at the sound of gunshots. I shut the door to my room immediately, praying that it wouldn't all end tonight. I tried calling Mace a couple of times, but he wasn't picking up. I guess he's still in a meeting. I hide in the corner of my room, all shaky. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang. I thought the bodyguards stationed downstairs had all been killed and were going to come at me like they did before. I went in search of a gun in the cabinet, I was about to open the cabinet when I heard my phone ring. I thought it was Mace, and I quickly jumped out of the bathroom in search of the phone. I didn't bother checking who the caller was, and I picked up."Mace, you need to come get me.""Tilda, calm down." I heard Grace's voice from the other end."Grace?" I took the phone away from my cheeks to check who the caller was. Grace asked me to come downstairs because someone was asking for me.I was scared out of my mind. For a second, I thought they had finally got t

It is my second day here in the Hunter's Mansion and Mace has been nothing but sweet to me. He spends every waking moment trying so hard to make things right.I know there is danger lurking around the corner, but I decided to face every single one of them head-on as long as I have Mace. I was in the room when I got a text from Mace to come join him at the study. It was the first time he invited me into the study after we signed that damned marriage contract. I leaped off the bed and went down to the study to see Mace.On getting into the study, he was on a video chat with someone. Immediately I saw him, my brows went up in a frown, wondering why he would send for me if he was on a business call.He waved at me, smiling while beckoning for me to come over. I went to him, and he took me by the waist and made me sit on his lap, making me face the laptop screen. I was surprised to see his mom on the laptop screen."Tilda darling," she called out. I guess she was more overjoyed seeing me t
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Fifty-Two
I prayed silently for the day not to end, and even if it were a dream, I would gladly remain in this dreamland. There was soft music playing in the background, and the atmosphere was just soothing. The chauffeur took our orders, and a few minutes later he appeared with plates. These days I don't feel like a princess locked away in a mansion anymore, but I feel like the center of Mace's world.I guess some are just so lucky, and I am among the lucky ones. I ate the food to my heart's content, and I was enjoying the evening without any fear of being shot at. Just when I thought the evening was going to come to an end, the fireworks started."Woah, this is so awesome," I said, grinning at Mace. He held me from behind as we watched the fireworks together. "Do you like it?" he whispered into my ears."I love it" was all I could manage to say as I watched the fireworks go off one after another. It was far more than I imagined, and I find myself falling in love with Mace Hunter over and over
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Fifty-Three
MACE'S POVI had already scheduled my flight to leave for Singapore early the next morning, but I was too overwhelmed by the news Amorino broke that evening.Something was amiss, but whatever it was, I'm kind of grateful it prompted her to quickly change her mind. I quickly turned on the ignition of the car and was rushing over to her place when my phone rang.It was one of the guards stationed at Amorino's apartment. He reported the incident that occurred this evening to me."Fools," I blurted out immediately. I dropped the call. How could they be so incompetent that they can't catch the lunatic firing at them? Why they just couldn't catch that fool was far beyond my understanding."Damn!" I screamed, realizing that my Amorino might still be in danger. The more I thought I gave to it, the more grateful and depressing it became.I am grateful that Amorino is moving in with me but depressed because I know she must be worked up at the sound of gunshots.

MACE'S POVI had so many thoughts running through my mind as I raced up the stairs. I prayed so hard, but it wasn't what I was thinking. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her.I was in disbelief looking at her standing like an avenger with a gun in her hands and Sarah lying down dead beneath her. I never thought Amorino could fire a gun, but here I am looking at the very impossible staring me in the face.I ran towards her, took the gun from her, and handed it over to Ray.I looked her over before hugging her. I was glad she was okay and even happier that we both saved our son together."Amorino, are you okay?" I asked, peering into her face."I'm fine; where is Vey?" she asked immediately, looking from me to Ray."Vey is fine," Dad replied. She quickly ran to him and grabbed him from his hands, hugging him so hard."Mammy!""Mammy is here, Vey," she said, smiling at him."Hold on, were you going to accept this crazy bitch proposal?" S

MACE'S POVThose very words were what I had been waiting for this whole time. I paused immediately when I heard Ray say he had found the bitch. I let out a devilish grin because I knew what I had in store for that mad bitch.She had taken more than she could chew. If she had messed with me, I would be lenient, but you mess with my family, and I will send you to the afterlife in pieces."Where?" "Right under our nose."Tilda jumped off the bed while hurriedly heading to the door"Honey, where are you off to?" Mom asked her. "To get my son!" She screamed, her voice filled with pain."Amorino," I gently called her; she didn't answer, nor did she glance my way. I touched her shoulder, and she turned towards me."I promise to bring our son home; I give you my word," I reassured her, looking her in the eyes while patting her hair."Mace, I want to bash that weirdo's head in for causing me pain.""I will make her pay for all the pain and misery she has caused

MATILDA'S POV"Ma'am, is everything okay?" Martha asked immediately, she rushed into the sitting room. I sat down, mopping like a fool, still unable to process what was happening. I began feeling dizzy, and the whole room was spinning nonstop in my eyes."Ma'am," she called yet again, but I was slowly losing sense of my surroundings. I heard her beckoning on the guards to come, but before I knew it, I had lost consciousness.I opened my eyes, but the light was too bright. I shut my eyes, but I could hear Sergio and Mace arguing over God knows what. I managed to open my eyes, and I tried a little harder to keep them open as my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the light."Darling, you are awake?" I heard Ana's voice. I followed the voice only to see her seated on the chair next to the bed.I was a bit confused about where we were and what was going on."What happened to me?" I asked Ana. I tried getting up, but Ana held me down."Honey, please stay put." I

MATILDA'S POV"Keep it wet; we will make Lavey's sister when we get back," he whispered into my ears, and I giggled like a teenage girl.We quickly rushed our bath; we were running out of time, and the last thing I want is grace nagging my ass. We prepared to leave for dinner. I came downstairs to find Lavey and her nanny all dressed up. She was on the phone when we came downstairs, but quickly put the phone away when we showed up."You guys ready?" I asked the nanny."Yes Ma'am" Mace took Lavey from the nanny, and we set out for dinner.Our little adventure in the shower delayed us a little bit; when we got to the Castillo's, the room was already packed. It was a lovely sight to behold; there were no outsiders in attendance, just family. Sergio, Dad, and Ray were having a hearty conversation while the ladies were laughing over something Kimberly said."There they are," Ana announced, all smiles. I hugged Kimberly while Mace was busy speaking with Pearl.
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Seventy-Three
MATILDA'S POVI brought my hands to my mouth in awe; I couldn't believe my eyes. I never expected that he could be this sentimental. I guess being a father comes with some changes."It's beautiful," I said, smiling at him as he held me in his arms."I wanted to give our prince the best," he said proudly.It is the best nursery I have seen. There was a beautiful white baby bed at one end of the room. The wallpapers were so beautiful. I couldn't get my eyes off the drawing of a lion's head and the family motto written boldly on the wall."A lion?" I asked Mace while pointing at the drawing."Yes, Amorino, we need to always remind him that he is a hunter," Mace replied while kissing my hair."Of course," I said, rolling my eyes."Do you think Lavey would love it? I painted the room myself," he whispered.I was a bit surprised to hear he did all this by himself. I brought his hands close to my lips and kissed him."He will adore it," I said to him, and I went

MACE'S POV "What lady?" Ray asked, giving me the What the heck are you talking about Look. I read the room and didn't ask any further questions."You got this, right?" I asked Ray, pointing at the building."Get the hell out of here, tell Tilda that I will be right there."I quickly entered one of the cars, leaving Ray behind to clean up the building.I got to the safe house. Jumped out of the car the minute I turned off the ignition. I ran into the house frantically in search of Amorino. I met Ray's mom in the hallway, all smiles."You made it, Mace, this way," she said, pointing to one of the rooms at the end of the hallway.I opened the door to see Mom seated next to Amorino on one side of the bed, while Grace sat on the other side."Ocean!" mom screamed. I went over to Amorino; she looked a bit worn out, but I was glad she was ok."My love here is our son," she said, holding our peanut wrapped in colorful clothing. I couldn't contain my joy when I s

MACE'S POVI rushed to the torture room, where I found Dad seated. I told one of our men to lead Dad into the room and away from Ricci's minions. I came closer to see a dead body lying on the floor. I guess one of Ricci's fools thought he could kill Dad seeing he was wounded. I went over to his side; he was losing a lot of blood. I got more worried. What pained me most was how to explain to Mom that Dad got hurt. Why would he take the bullet,"It should have been me," I kept whispering to myself.I fished out my phone from my pocket to call a doctor, but my dad wouldn't let me. He grabbed my hands, looking me straight in the eyes. I could tell the amount of pain he was in."Don't," he said."We should get you a doctor, dad.""I'm fine, ocean; the bullet just grazed my skin. Patch me up or get our men to patch me up, and I will be good as new." I was lost for words, looking at my old man asking to be patched up the old-fashioned way. I sometimes forget he

MACE'S POVI was still at the study sipping a glass of whiskey while Dad had his face buried in a piece of paper he was holding. I didn't bother checking what he was reading because I had a lot on my mind.I couldn't get the thoughts of Amorino off my mind. I was missing her badly. The picture of her sleeping soundly in her lingerie kept playing in my head. This is the first time she is sleeping outside the house after we got back together. I was fighting the urge to go get her. I knew I couldn't bring her home just yet, not when the baby could pop out any day from now. I can't give her the attention she needs right now, and besides, Francesco won't go easy on her if he ever finds her.I need to put an end to this shit as fast as possible. I was still lost in thought when Ray called me. I looked up to see Kieran standing next to Ray."You're here," I said, looking at Kieran. He nodded."I heard how things went in Italy," he said.I smirked, pointing at
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Nine
MACE'S POVI woke up the next morning to the beeping sound of my phone. I checked the time, and it was 5 a.m. I pulled my fingers that had been buried under my pillow out and got off the bed to prepare. I had some scores to settle this morning. It was time to rain blood on Ricci and his minions. I warned that fool that I might be my father's son, but I'm not my father. I was already prepared to leave, but I was checking out my outfit when Ray called to inform me that he was downstairs.I turned to the bed to find Amorino still soundly asleep. I didn't want to wake her, so I wrote a note on a piece of paper and placed it on the bedside table where she could easily find it before leaving. I came downstairs to see Ray sitting comfortably while munching the last bite of the cornflakes on his plate."Making yourself at home," I asked him."What can I do?" he replied, wearing a smirk."Besides, I need all the strength I could get, you know."I wasn't ready f
