My Sister's Fiance LXXIV
I stared into the corner of the room one last time. Staring into something that didn't exist, into the void that had always been there. Something that had been in the darkness for the four years I had been trying to move on from it. It was a frozen past, waiting for something to burn it so that it melted and sought to become water, flowing and eventually free of the cold temperature that forced it to endure. I was the cold temperature, the existence that couldn't let my past go. I was still holding onto it all this time, and perhaps it was what had always been my obstacle to moving forward. I had believed that my heartbeat was dead along with my dead body, but now I found something feeding it and making it live again. It was ironic because whatever was keeping it alive was a fragile hope that could not keep it beating forever. Time... it will end as soon as possible. >>> My eyes opened, staring at the morning breeze hitting the trees outside my bedroom window. I sat on the bed
My Sister's Fiance LXXV
I stared into Nicholas's blue eyes, with panic thundering through my body. It throbbed like the pulse of death.I already knew that he could do anything, but was it that great?All I knew was that Gallena had hidden her pregnancy so well she hadn't left any traces. She even used a fake identity when she went to the doctor to check her pregnancy. Thanks to Darren, I don't know where he came up with it all. The point was that everything was fine. Nothing raised suspicion until...I messed up.My breath caught as Nicholas stood up and left me. I immediately stood up from my chair, following Nicholas, who exited Demonio with quick steps. A gust of cold wind nearly knocked me over with a jolt of surprise. I rebalanced my footing and took another quick step toward Nicholas, who walked into the abandoned church.I tugged on his arm as he started to open the door of his car parked in front of the church.My breath caught in my throat when I saw his casual gaze. He raised an eyebrow, but I kne
My Sister's Fiance LXXVI
It had been a week, and Nicholas had not appeared before me because of the lavish wedding reception that his sister and her husband were having in Italy. We couldn't come because of Mum and dad's strict rules, so only they came. And waiting in this damn mansion, realising that I was about to face what he was going to do to me, was a bitch.But thankfully, he didn't do anything to Darren. Seeing how the guy was able to appear when the gardener's truck came made me know that Nicholas took me as Darren's guarantee of safety.Darren looked up at me from Gallena's bed, waiting for my sister to finish her digestive business while I leaned against the table opposite him."Make sure that you won't screw up," I said, my eyes looking up at him with thunder rolling through me. Trusting my sister to him was a weak thing. Luckily, Baron had everything under control.The man swallowed and nodded. "I won't.""One wrong move, and the lives of all three of you are at stake."Darren looked at me with a
My Sister's Fiance LXXVII : my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
"Something's wrong?" Louis broke the silence I had created in the car.I turned to him and shook my head. "Nothing.""You're not mad at me today," he said and chuckled softly. "I'm used to it, and, yeah... It's kind of weird to see you quiet."That's because he's not even in my mind. It's like my body is with him, but my soul floated away. Everything that happened tonight is a blur of shadows in my eyes. At least before someone caught the flower that I was supposed to catch.I sighed softly. I never knew how deeply I hated Louis, but it wasn't because of his fetishes or his dirty secrets that he hid from everyone; that was none of my business, and I didn't care at all. I hated him because he trapped me, and he wasn't my problem today. I've been so wrapped up in Gallena and Nicholas and the black blood roses that were in my room last night that there's no room to think about my hatred for Louis. It's not that I accept his engagement. I will never get him as my fiancé until I die."I'm
My Sister's Fiance LXXVIII : Nicholas
Of the many things I didn't care about, I could remember the scratch marks on her hands and her calves. I knew that much already, and I didn't even want to go back to hearing Lorenzo's words about a couple of old Mikhaelovichs who tortured their daughters in childhood to obey them.That's why all of them grew up like empty shells, minus Gallena perhaps, who, in essence, wasn't even afraid of anything. Gallena and Gretta are both brave but with different practices. Gallena is impulsive, while Gretta is more cautious in her ways. Gallena never thinks long about any risk, while Gretta calculates everything, trying not to create any loopholes for trouble. She would go to some lengths with her genius head to hide everything, even her true face. Trying not to slip into a pit of hell that would lead her deeper and deeper astray.But I found her.The devil who created hell for her. Who would drag her in without wanting to return her to where she came from.De Sanctis and our selfishness... It
My Sister's Fiance LXXIX
The gentle stroking on my head made me blink my eyes. I didn't move, still looking at my room, which was always the same, and the glimpse of the trees outside that could be seen from my bedroom window.The first thing I realized was that I was asleep on the rugged, athletic, and masculine body of my sister's fiancé. The second was that the rough hands gently caressing me were his. The third was that one of his free, burly arms hugged my waist so tightly. I didn't expect that I could fall asleep like this. Well, it had become a habit. It seemed as if we always fell asleep hugging each other after great sex.I had never done this. Of course, it was because of the strict guard and how I closed myself off from boys in my teenage years. I never had a boy I had a crush on, had no friends at school to play with at parties on Saturday nights, no naughty American Football players who fell in love with me, and I never tucked a boy in my room, very much like the Hollywood romantic movies I alway
My Sister's Fiance LXXX
"This..." Gallena's voice was full of shock, her eyes widening."What?" I asked, trying to control my near panic.She couldn't know about what happened to me and Nicholas. I didn't know why, but I thought it would be bad. Even though their engagement was messed up, I still felt bad that I'd been fooling around with her fiancée behind her back."You invited a man in?" asked Gallena, her face still in shock, her eyes widening with a playful wink that would make me laugh at the right time. "Because that tie can't be Louis'. His is blue.""I don't invite men in.""Don't lie, Gretta." She said, staring at the tie. "Who is he?""No one." I sighed. "It's Baron left behind.""And why did he leave it here?""He left it with me, and I accidentally took it," I replied, still in a casual voice, or trying to be casual because of the nervousness I was desperately trying to hide from her.She must have sensed something because her expression told me she didn't believe me at all. "I went home with Ba
My Sister's Fiance LXXXI
The fresh taste of white wine invades my mouth and crosses my tongue as his lips claim mine. His lips possess me and control my brain and body, bending me to his will as I become putty in his hands.Tongues clash, sending chills down my spine. My toes curled up from the sensations rising inside me. A soft moan escaped as his hands squeezed my buttocks in his arms, igniting more sparks on my skin. I was lost in how he felt. Nicholas claimed me piece by piece with just a kiss, possessing my heart and lips. My arms locked behind his neck and pulled him closer.I nibbled on his lower lip. He moaned as my tongue teased his, giving me back a little control.The sound of a loud call brought me back. I pulled away from his kiss while Carl's voice called me from outside the library."Always the scene-stealer," Nicholas growled irritably against my neck.I pushed against his chest and moved my body to escape his arms. But he pressed against me even more. How much strength he had, I don't know,

Nicholas really took me away. It was a long trip because we were on a plane, and I only found out when the pilot told me where we were going."Spain?" I asked, looking at Nicholas sitting beside me with so much surprise.He nodded. "Put your seatbelt on, baby."I shook my head. "I don't want to go anywhere. I want to go back."Nicholas shook his head with a frown on his forehead. "I'm sure you'll regret it.""Then tell me where you're taking me!" my voice rose an octave.He only raised an eyebrow and let out a long sigh. "Gallena."My eyes widened."I'll take you to Gallena's place."My heart was beating so fast with emotion that I almost fell forward as the plane began to take off. He clucked, wrapping one arm around my waist. "Put your seatbelt on." He growled.I put it on quickly. Leaning against the seat as the plane began to take off. I turned to him with a twinkle in my heart. "Do you mean it?"Nicholas nodded."Is she in Barcelona?""She's in Ibiza, I think it's a safe place f
My Sister's Fiance CI : [Extra Part]
Flashback :The hollow emptiness going on inside me didn't fix anything. It was empty and frozen. I've had many losses, and I don't know what could break me more than this one. It consumed me more than any previous loss.My baby...I haven't even had a chance to see what my baby looked like before it left me.And...Why my baby?Why wasn't it just me who died?I huddled under the thick blanket that was not familiar to my nose. A hospital bed, pillow and blanket. Which was unfamiliar because I had never experienced a hospital stay. It was excruciating, and I didn't want to come back here again. But this was still better than Mikhaelovich's death house if I could choose. It was a good thing I'd been expelled, strange because the relief seeped through me like water in a dam that was never released.I stroked my stomach, something I always did these days, even though the pain seemed to split me in two.A click came from the door behind me. I didn't need to turn around to see who had just
My Sister's Fiance C : Nicholas : For you, I'd steal the stars.
Two Months Later Time seemed to fly by until the church doors finally opened wide, the warning of the bride's arrival making everyone look impatiently toward the entrance. I stared at the beautiful woman in a bone-white wedding dress with a high bust. After my challenging debate with her, I finally won. Of course, with a very effective tactic: making her unable to walk with our long sex and making her surrender. And I have absolutely no regrets. She was so beautiful, gorgeous, and fabulous. My heart swelled stupidly. Like the mellow atmosphere of those cheesy romance movies she always liked, but different from those stupid movies, I liked what I felt now. Enjoying everything in every part of her. I love her. Loved her so much that I thought I would kill myself when she was in pain. That agony was behind us, and I learned my lesson. We both did. Learned to be better and accept each other. My mom said it's love and doesn't always go smoothly. All we can do is stay together and go
My Sister's Fiance XCIX : there's is no life after you
I looked at Gretta, who was lying on the bed.In a quiet corner of the room, the serene atmosphere inside the hospital room was only interrupted by the regular hissing of breath from the bedridden Gretta. Her face reflected profound exhaustion and sadness as if a disaster had rolled over her like an endless storm. I sat beside her with a blank look. The miscarriage had robbed us both of the glimmer of happiness they had just begun to achieve.Everything that surrounded us was messing her up, messing me up. Us.The pain split me in two. Realizing what we had lost, the cause of my own carelessness. If only I hadn't come and thrown a bomb at her, if only I hadn't brought her to my apartment, if only I hadn't abandoned her.. that fetus would still be between us. That baby.. whether a boy or a girl, would have been a testament to our feelings. I loved her, damn it. I loved her so much that jealousy about her leaving me ruled me more than my trust in her. I should have known better than
My Sister's Fiance XCVIII : gone
My heartbeats shattered one by one, making my chest ache.My vision blurred behind the tears and the glare of the sun on the marble floor. Once the crying started, my tears flowed like I had just opened a dam that had been closed for years. I stood in the middle of a beautiful apartment and felt nothing but cold and empty. The emptiness expanded until it threatened to eat me alive.How accurate was my belief that Nico was an addiction because this felt like the worst kind? I began to realize that it was more than that-it was love and it was heartbreak.I went to the master bathroom, turned on the shower, went inside, and cried some more. My mind was spinning with desperate thoughts of how to fix it, but it all ended on a desperate note when I thought of her cold demeanor today.Nausea rolled around in my stomach.I've been trying not to fall for him, and I've fallen so hard that I'm physically sick from his rejection. I could have laughed if I still had the energy left to cry.I got o

"What are you going to do?" Baron's hoarse voice came into my ears."Keep it." I took a breath and let it out softly. Calming the chaos inside me. "I will tell Nicholas about this, but I will wait for the right time.""If he doesn't accept it..." Baron stroked my arm. " ... you know I will always be here for you, right?"I nodded, hugging Baron tightly."He's crazy about you, Gretta. I know that. He'll accept it. He won't dump you or do anything bad to you." He said as we broke the hug. "Everyone can see it. He's just too stupid to admit his feelings."Well, I hope that's true. I nodded. "I'm waiting for him." I looked down at the bracelet on my right hand, which I never took off. "I have to do something first to give my heart to him, Baron."Because I will never let go of the past if I don't let go of it myself."Are you sure that you've disappeared from his shadow?" asked Baron.I nodded. "I'm sure," I replied. My whole heart had flown away, and I was about to move back into my froz
My Sister's Fiance XCVI
I saw the news and couldn't imagine what was going on in my family. I was sure my parents were cursing me and Gallena, planning what would happen to their two rebellious daughters.I was the one who ran away from my fiancé's house and was with my affair. While Gallena ran away from home pregnant. They thought we should return the favor about all that they had given us, the luxuries and stuff, the limited freedom, and the damn convenience of staying in our rooms. Ironically, that's not the same as what most parents give their kids.So, now, what do I do? Do I stay here and hassle Nicholas until I can stand on my own, which... I don't know when that will be? Because I can't possibly depend on him entirely.What are we? We were nothing other than me having sold my body for my own gain and falling in love with him while he didn't love me back. I sighed.Or could I go back to my parents' house-because it had never been my home-take my things, and then go to Baron's place? They couldn't d
My Sister's Fiance XCV : she's a beast I call her Karma
My control was hanging by a thread as I listened to my men. Lorenzo also seemed intent on easing our uncle's burden.Uncle Benito and Gerald seemed to be quarreling secretly, but I was sure they were planning to overthrow me behind closed doors. Benito is a coward, and Gerald is only slightly better, but eventually, they will act. Perhaps Gerald would send his remaining legitimate son to kill me."War is inevitable," I growled. "You know that as well as I do. Don't pretend you haven't been waiting for an opportunity to spill Outfit blood again." My Underbosses nodded, and so did most of my Captains. But not Benito and Gerald.My eyes were fixed on the high ceiling of the power plant. I had chosen it at every meeting of my Captains and Underbosses over the past three years to remind them of my bloody declaration. I felt their memories needed to be refreshed.Gerald banged his fist on the table, returned my gaze to him, and swatted away Uncle Torre's calming hand. "Enough," he muttered.
My Sister's Fiance XCIV : don't want no other shade of blue but you
Being stuck with Nicholas felt different from being stuck with Louis. I realized this a long time ago.I couldn't even spend five seconds next to Louis; a strange and uncomfortable feeling always surrounded me when I was with him, even before he was forced to become my fiancé or before I knew all his secrets.But now, when I was with Nicholas, I had a different, disturbing feeling. It was as if all the storms were coming together, and I wanted nothing more than to be with him as long as possible, even though I knew he was in darkness and danger. His name is a disaster; you must escape him if you do not want to be destroyed.But here I am, and so is he. Instead of a disaster, he became one of the people who saved me from the real disaster. He's the one by my side, caring for me more than everyone who should do it for me. For the first time, I know what it feels like to be truly loved, although I don't know if he feels the same way about me.I found him in the kitchen after I'd had enou
