Third POV:“Guilia, what is going on here?” Flynn asked the moment he stepped into the apartment, which was filled with caterers arranging meals on the table in the living room.“I’m hosting a party; I thought I told you?” He asked, and he stared at her, trying hard to hold back on his words.“No, you haven’t, and I need to know why we are doing this.” He said, and she chuckled, getting on her tiptoe to kiss his cheek.“I just want to have a little party. Me, you, Paris, John, Elowen, and her new guy.”His eyes widened when she said this, and he immediately sensed a scheme because he knew Elowen would not willingly set herself up, knowing what Dante would do.“Elowen and her new man? That sounds like you, and I do not support whatever this is,” he said, marching upstairs.Guilia rolled her eyes, turning to see a server walking to the table with a bowl of wine.“Gimme that,” she said, taking the bowl of wine from her.“Here, you may leave now,” she said, handing a cheque to the lady.S
Third person POV:“Do you love him?” Eliot asked Elowen, and she looked at him with her brows drawn down. “Answer me, please. I need to know if all I have been doing has been a waste of time. Was he the one who broke your heart?” He asked, and she scoffed.“Eliot, I think you need to leave.” Elowen said in a low tone, placing her hand on her forehead.“I won’t leave until you give me a reason. I love you, Elowen, and I can’t deny the chemistry I saw between the both of you. If he is the reason you are heartbroken, then tell me. I will fly you out of the country, take you…”“Eliot stop!” She yelled, and he came to a halt. “I’m heartbroken because the man who wed me has abandoned me for a month. I have heard nothing about him since he left two days ago,” she said with her voice cracking, and tears hanging in her eyes.Eliot’s eyes widened and his mouth fell ajar.“You.. you are married?” He asked, and she scoffed.“Yes, and that is what I have been trying to tell you the entire evening.
Third-person POV:The ear-splitting tone of her phone ringing woke Elowen up. She groaned, grabbing it to check on the caller. When the name Flynn showed up, she flung it away, and putting her hand across her aching head.“Fuck!” she groaned, pulling herself up from the bed.She walked to Guilia’s room in search of painkillers. On getting there, she gave the door a gentle tap, and opened it to see Guilia still in bed.Guilia opened her eyes sluggishly with a yawn when she saw Elowen, and then she shut it almost immediately.“Please, I need some painkillers,” Elowen said, and Guilia’s eyes flew open at once.She thought it was the right time to feed her some meth in the guise of painkillers. Her lips spread across her face with a smile, and she jumped out of bed.“I’m sorry, you must have had a lot to drink,” she said to Elowen, who supported her aching head with one hand. “Please sit,” Julia grabbed her hand and pulled her gently towards the bed.Then she walked to her closet and retu
Third-person POV:Elowen was too stunned to speak for a while. She had no clue this trip had been in favour of ruining her marriage, and she walked right through it.“Guilia sent Dante out of town, and he kept it from you to let peace reign,” Flynn continued, causing her heart to ache more.She took a step back and almost collapsed, causing“I think I need to sit down in my room, and I need an actual painkiller.”Flynn took her hand, leading her to her room, then helped her onto the bed and rushed downstairs to get painkillers from the kitchen, where he knew Guilia kept the first aid box. He handed it to her, giving her a clean glass of water.Elowen took it and rested her head on the pillow.“Thank you,” she muttered.“I have to leave now because Guilia will be home soon. I trailed her to a club, which I believe she is reserving for her final blow, and now you know her plans. You need to act fast. Call me if you need help,” he said, and she nodded.“She will probably get Eliot in trou
Elowen: I knocked on my fiancé’s door and opened it without his permission. He stood in the center of the room, bare chested, with a towel wrapped around his waist, making my face flush instantly. I had never seen him naked, and with our wedding only a few hours away, I let the lust in my virgin heart take over. “Lou,” he called out, his eyes widening, and a smile spread across my lips. I shut the door and walked over to him, kissing his chin and pressing myself against his bare body. For someone who cursed my father for handing me over to the Guerras as a debt repayment, I had grown to adore my fiance, Adjo, because he was the nicest person after my father. Too bad my father died before this day. “What are you doing here? You need to leave!” He said coldly, pulling me at arm’s length to reveal his hardened expression. He grabbed my hand and hurriedly led me to the door. “I cannot stop thinking about you, and I am afraid two hours is far too long,” I said as he opened the door.
Elowen: I drove to the workplace of my foster sister, Gretchen. When I got to the bar where she worked, I rushed to find her. “Lou, baby!” Gretchen yelled over the deafening music. She gave me a hug, which I did not return. There were many people here, and one of them might be working for the Guerras. “Gretchen, please, I need about two thousand dollars, and I promise I will pay back twice the price. I just need to get on a quick flight and survive for a few days until I find work,” I said, and she burst out laughing, puffing her cigar. I immediately grabbed my inhaler and took a few puffs. “If I had that much, I would not be here, child. You want money, then work for it.” “Gretchen, you do not understand; the Guerras are..”“I know who the fuck they are, so work faster, and you will leave faster,” she said, grabbing my shoulder. “You have got a good body, and you are in a strip club, so get out of those filthy clothes and please those men,” she said, pointing to a section of
His house was large and adorned with expensive decorations. Chandeliers—you name it. But I was not interested because my plan was straightforward. I would please him as he desired, then steal as many valuables as I could and flee before he could notice. When we arrived in his room, he grabbed my face and placed his lips on mine. I drew him to me as I made my way to the bed. We fell on the bed, and I reached for his crotch area, but he stopped me, pinning my hands to the bed while panting heavily. “Why did you stop? Don’t you want this?” I asked, and he scoffed. “Look at what you are doing to me,” he said, rubbing my hands against his bulging pants. “But I do not fuck around randomly. I am a man of principle, and the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew I wanted you, and I need your complete consent to be mine.” “Stop speaking in parables,” I said. “I have a contract that I want you to sign. A contract that would…” “I will sign it.” I blurted, cutting him short. The rest of his wo
Elowen:Laura rushed to Adjo’s aid, while Dante clutched my hand tightly.“I have heard that everyone in this room has called for Elowen’s execution, but as the future leader of the red mafia, I annul this agreement; Elowen belongs to me, and I will decide what to do with her,” he said, and my eyes widened in surprise.I could not tell if I should consider myself lucky because everyone knew him: Dante Guerra, a.k.a. the ripper. He was known as the slayer of men and had executed more people than his father and grandfather combined, but I could not put a face to him because the entire house was devoid of his pictures.“With that said, this meeting is adjourned,” Dante said, but then a man in the group raised his hand.“Yes,” Dante responded, raising his brow.“You can not just walk in here and disprove our agreement. We all know your position in the family, and we are only allowing you to sit on the throne because your father ordered it before he died, and….”"So what is your point?" Da

Third person pov:“Babe, I’m sorry that I forgot to call yesterday. The buyers had me lodge in a hotel to make business easier, and I was so tired after the meeting that I…”A beep from another call was interrupted Guilia’s speech, and she paused, checking her phone to see an unknown number calling.“I forgot to tell you, and I’m sorry, babe. I’ll talk to you later,” she said, ending the call.She picked the next call.“Hey, it’s Eliot, and I’m getting ready to go to the mall.” Guilia sighed.“Yea, sure. She’ll be out in a..” her phone beeped, and she saw Elowen’s name pop up. “Great, she is calling, and I am sure you’ll have a great day,” she said.“Oh, I’ll get going then.”“Yes, and oh, can you leave out the part that I told you about her breakup? She would freak out if you mentioned it. Bye.”Guilia heaved a sigh before calling Elowen back.“Have fun at the mall. I will meet you soon,” she said, ending the call and getting out of bed.Her brows curled in a frown as she made her wa
Third person pov:Guilia pretended to grab her purse from the table, but the moment Elowen left, she walked over to Eliot’s table.When Eliot saw her walking towards him, he adjusted his tie, hoping she would present him with an offer to buy his way with Elowen.“Eliot, is it?” She asked, and he nodded with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry for the way my friend acted back then. She just got out of a messy heartbreak and isn’t open to dating again, but I can tell that you’ve got eyes on her.”He raised a brow with a nod as he sipped his glass of wine.“Well, I’m here to make an offer.”Eliot dropped his glass, staring at her while she took a seat.“Well, I must admit, she caught my fancy. I will be in the city for a few weeks, and I would like to try my luck. I might as well surprise my family with a wife,” he said, and a smile spread across Guilia’s face. “So, what’s your offer?” He pressed his lip in a fine line, holding onto the glass of wine with both hands.“Elowen and I are like b
Third person POV:“Good morning, babe.” Flynn kissed Guilia on her cheek, attempting to get out of bed, but she pulled him into a deep kiss, running her hands down his chest.Flynn broke away from the kiss, panting, and then he kissed her more fiercely, and hungrily. His hands rummaged around her robe, undoing the rope and leaving her stack naked. Then he attacked her neck with kisses, cupping her soft breast in one hand while his other hand found its way down to her pussy.Gently, he massaged her throbbing clit with his fingers while Guilia moaned softly in his ears. He slid his hands up and down her wet core before sliding in a couple of fingers.“Ugh.” Guilia mashed her lips into his, tugging his hair violently with her back arched against the bed.Flynn pumped his fingers in and out of her while Guilia’s body writhed with emotions. Their fight for lust and pleasure came to an end when Flynn’s phone rang.“Fuck!” Guilia groaned in a tired tone when he pulled away to attend to the c
Elowen:It’s been two days since the saga between Guilia and Dante. Things had been awfully strange, but no one wanted to say a thing to me. I was in my room, reading a book Dante purchased for me, when he barged into my room.I placed my book on the bed, and I got on my feet, walking towards him. He pulled me into a warm hug, then he gave me a light kiss on the lips.“I have something impromptu to take care of, and I will be gone for a while,” he said, and my face became wrinkled.“For how long?” I crossed my arms while he pulled my hands away, clutching them tightly.“It’s for business and it will take a month or just weeks, but I promise to fill you in on it when I’m back.”I sighed, releasing my hand from his grip.“First, you’ve been acting strange for the past forty-eight hours and you want to disappear as usual. Have I done something wrong?”He shook his head.“Then take me with you.” I said, and he held his gaze for a moment, trying to hold me again. “Of course you won’t, becau
Dante:“No matter what is going on, I have decided to trust you, Dante, but the way you are going with Guilia, I do not think it is right. She is going to think you do not want her to have a happy life.”When Elowen said this, I pulled away from her, staring at her with my mind bugging with thoughts and overwhelming emotions.“First was Xavier, and now Flynn.” She added. “I just want you to be fine, Dante, and I’m here if you need me.” She pulled me into a hug.**I asked Ralph to take Elowen home while I headed to the warehouse, where I kept Guilia and her friends captive. When I pulled up at the warehouse, I paused for a moment to coordinate myself.Elowen was right, and it was high time I stopped treating Guilia like a kid.I walked into the warehouse, which had a few of my men littered around, then I went straight to the guardroom, pulling it open to see the three of them bundled in a seat.I untied the hanky in Guilia’s mouth, and she gritted her teeth.“Have you come to gloat on
