MYA

The silence was short-lived. Angelo leaned back, his arms resting casually on the seat, though his tone was anything but casual when he finally spoke. “My enemies have tripled overnight because of you.”

I froze. The words hit me like a punch to the gut. My hands clenched into fists on my lap, and my heart began to race. A wave of guilt swept over me, so powerful that I felt sick.

“I-I’m sorry,” I stammered, unable to meet his gaze. My mind spiralled with worst-case scenarios. What if he regretted marrying me? What if he blamed me for all of this? My thoughts grew darker, imagining him taking out his frustrations on me—what if he hit me or abandoned me entirely?

“Hey,” his voice softened, breaking through the storm of my thoughts. “Are you okay?”

I shook my head slightly, still staring at my lap. “I’m sorry,” I whispered.

“For what?” he asked, his tone curious rather than accusatory.

“For making things harder for you,” I said, my voice barely audible.

He shifted in his seat, le

    MYAThe car door clicked shut as Angelo slid in beside me, placing me carefully on the plush leather seat. My cheeks burned with embarrassment, and I fixed my gaze on my hands, clasped tightly in my lap. I couldn’t bring myself to meet his eyes, no matter how much I told myself to act normal.How had I fallen asleep so deeply? The whole situation played in my mind on repeat, from the moment I woke up in his arms to the flashing cameras. I wanted to disappear into the seat.“Are you okay?” his deep voice broke through my spiralling thoughts.I glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away again. “I’m fine,” I mumbled, my voice barely audible.He raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. “You’ve been quiet since we got in the car.”I bit my lip, struggling to find the right words. “I’m sorry,” I blurted out, still not looking at him.“For what?” he asked, sounding genuinely confused.“For… falling asleep on the plane,” I admitted, my cheeks heating further. “And for making you carr

    MYAAs I followed Angelo down the grand staircase, the faint creak of the polished wood under our feet seemed to echo louder than necessary. His calm voice broke the silence between us.“I’ll order food for us,” he said, glancing over his shoulder. His tone was casual, but there was something definitive about it. “You don’t have to cook while we’re here.”I hesitated, my grip tightening on the smooth railing. The idea of just sitting back while someone else handled everything felt weird. I swallowed hard, then spoke up, my voice softer than I intended.“Won’t that be a waste?” I asked, trying to sound practical. “I mean, I know how to cook. I actually enjoy it. I wouldn’t mind making something for you… especially after everything you’ve done for me.”Angelo stopped at the bottom of the stairs, turning to face me fully. His dark eyes locked onto mine, a mixture of curiosity and something unreadable flickering across his face.“Trust me,” he said, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “It

My thoughts were all over the place as I rinsed the soap off my face. I got a little in my eye and it took a little while to get it all out.I was still unable to fully grasp the reality of my new life. Everything felt surreal—the luxurious surroundings, the endless opportunities for quiet alone time, and, of course, Angelo.He was wish-washy, alternating between moments of surprising gentleness and a calculated distance that left me second-guessing everything. Last night’s conversation lingered in my mind, his words cut deeper than I cared to admit. I tried to convince myself it didn’t matter, that I didn’t care what he thought of me, but the truth was harder to ignore.After drying off and dressing in a light sundress, I made my way downstairs.

    1: Mya's POV Strong fingers grabbed my chin, squishing my cheeks together and forcing me to look in the mirror. "Come on, sister, show me a big smile." The voice of my brother, Ryan, taunted.I glared at him through the mirror, my bright blue eyes shooting icy daggers at him. But my defiance only made him laugh and squeeze my cheeks to the point it hurt and made my eyes to water. "Oh come on," He cooed, his brows drawn together in a mockery of sadness. "Don't cry now you'll ruin your make-up. It's a happy day, you should be happy right now."I wanted his hands off me. My entire back was still stinging in pain from two nights ago, after he had whipped me till I passed out. And now he has the gall to look at me and tell me to smile."Is she ready yet?" One of my three elder brothers, Carlos asked."What's the fucking hold up?" My third brother, Nathan asked. Anger welled up inside me. I wish I had three knives. So I'd kill my brothers. Carlos and Nathan came closer, and the fou

    MYA The soft click of the bathroom door lock sounded louder in my ears than it should have. I leaned my back against the cold wall, sliding down until I was sitting on the floor. My heart raced in my chest, so loud I could hear it pounding in the silence.Married. I was fucking married.My chest tightened as my mind spiralled. How had I let it happen? When did I even say “I do”? The words had slipped out of my lips, but I couldn’t remember speaking them. It was all a blur—a horrible, suffocating blur of whispers, stares, and his piercing green eyes.I rubbed my sweaty palms against my dress. The silk fabric felt smooth under my fingers, but the sensation did little to calm my nerves. My gaze darted around the bathroom, taking in everything. I stared at myself in the mirror, the veil was gone, but my makeup was still intact, though I could feel the cracks forming beneath it.And then there was the kiss.My stomach twisted. His lips hadn’t even touched mine, not really. But the gho

    MYA When I regained consciousness, the world was spinning and my head was throbbing like it would soon fall off my head. My body felt like it had been tossed around, and the cold, hard ground beneath me did little to ease the discomfort. I blinked, forcing my eyes to adjust to the dim lighting around me. The air reeked of sweat and it made it really hard to breathe. It took me a moment to realize where I was.I was in a narrow dark alleyway, huge scary men surrounded me having a discussion right above my head. “She looks good enough. How much?”“Better than most we find. Let’s start the bidding at five hundred.”Five hundred? My mind scrambled to catch up. Bidding? What the hell is going on?Panic set in. They were talking about me. I was their bargaining chip. My stomach churned as fear coursed through my veins.I inched back, desperate to put some distance between myself and the men. My movements were slow, my limbs barely making a sound. I needed to escape now that they wer

    MYAWANTED! The room was stifling, and every beat of my heart echoed loudly in my ears as I tried to steady my trembling hands. The man’s body sprawled on the floor, and panic consumed me. I had no time to waste; someone would come looking for him soon.I took a shaky breath and glanced around the room. The least I could do was make it seem like nothing had happened—at least for a while. I dragged his limp body toward the bed and positioned him as though he were sleeping. My stomach churned at the way his head rolled to one side, blood trickling from the bash on his temple.It wasn’t perfect, but it might buy me some time.I cracked the door open and peeked into the dimly lit hallway. It was quiet except for the muffled voices in the distance. My heart raced as I stepped out, shutting the door gently behind me.I hadn’t made it far when I heard a familiar voice.“There you are,” the boss said, his lips curling into a smirk as he looked me over. He crossed his arms, leaning casual

Marriage wasn’t something I wanted—not now, not ever.But the noise wouldn’t stop. Their insistence had grown louder lately, and I’d run out of excuses to push them away. Then Victor, my most trusted advisor, had reminded me of a long-forgotten contract.“The girl your father betrothed you to when you were about eleven—have you considered calling in that agreement?” Victor had asked, his voice calm but purposeful.I’d frowned, trying to erase any memory of the arrangement. “You’re joking,” I muttered. “That was years ago. That contract is as good as dead.”Victor shook his head. “Her family never annulled it. They owed your father a considerable debt, and as far as we know, they haven’t paid it off. Legally, the arrangement still stands.”I leaned back in my chair, my fingers drumming against the edge of my desk. “A

    MYAThe ride home was. I sat beside Angelo, my hands folded neatly in my lap, while I stared out the window. Everything that happened today replayed in my mind in an endless loop—the vows, the crowd, the kiss. Especially the kiss. The thought alone made my cheeks burn, and I pressed my fingers to them, trying to take the heat away but it was useless.When we arrived at the house, I realized how much I was going to need to get used to. There was never a time that I walked in and I didn’t feel out of place.The wedding dress, once beautiful and exciting, now felt like a trap. The bodice was too tight, the skirt too heavy, and every breath seemed harder to take. I was desperate to get out of it but didn’t know how to excuse myself without seeming rude.Angelo opened the door for me, extending a hand to help me out of the car. I hesitated before taking it, his touch firm and steady as he guided me up the steps.“You’ve been quiet,” he said, breaking the silence as we walked inside.“I’m j

    MYAIt was hard to breathe with them around me. The air suddenly felt thick and toxic and I wanted nothing more than for them to move the fuck away. I forced myself to stay seated, my hands gripping the edge of the table to keep me from trembling. Their presence always brought unease, but now, surrounded by a room full of strangers, I felt exposed in a way I hadn’t before.“We’re here to congratulate you, Mya,” Carlos said, his voice smooth and disgusting. His eyes scanned me, and I resisted the urge to flinch.“Congratulations,” Nathan added, though his tone was far from warm.I didn’t believe them. I never believed them. “What do you really want?” I asked, keeping my voice steady, though my heart pounded.Carlos, the animal who had touched in very wrong ways in the past inched closer, his lips curling into a smirk that made my skin crawl. “We just want to see how our dear little sister is doing. And, of course, we’re curious,” he said, his tone mocking. “Has your husband finally mad

    MYACOMFORTI watched Angelo’s expression carefully as I spoke, the words came rolling out before I could second-guess myself. It had taken a lot for me to tell him what my brothers were like. Even though I wasn’t sharing everything, I felt exposed, like a piece of me was being put on display. I half-expected him to shrug it off, but he didn’t. Instead, his jaw tightened, and his eyes darkened in a way I hadn’t seen before.He was angry—really angry. His knuckles whitened where his fists clenched at his sides, and the sharp line of his lips told me he was holding back words he wanted to say. I froze, unsure of how to react. His reaction wasn’t what I’d expected.“I need to talk to them,” he said suddenly, his voice low and controlled, but the undertone of fury was unmistakable.“No,” I said quickly, almost panicked. “You don’t have to do that.”He ignored me, already turning toward the direction my brothers had gone. His broad shoulders were tense, and the way he moved made me certain

    MYATHE WEDDINGThe sound of such sweet music at my own wedding should have been soothing but only made my heart pound faster. The air was thick and I was almost defeated by the murmur of a thousand voices, all eyes were on the end of the aisle where Angelo stood waiting. My fingers clenched tightly around my brother’s arm as he walked me forward. My legs felt like lead.My dress was a masterpiece, it trailed behind me, so long it required two attendants to manage it. I should have felt beautiful in it, and maybe I did for a fleeting second when I first saw myself in the mirror. But now, all I could feel was the weight—both literal and figurative. The dress was suffocating, the corset was digging into my ribs, but it was nothing compared to the pressure of the stares and the cameras flashing so bright, they were threatening to blind me.Carlos, My eldest brother and the one I hated the most, walked beside me with the most calm expression, but I could see the curiosity in his eyes ever

    MYAWEDDING BELLSHe didn’t need to do much, hell, he didn’t even need to do anything to get me shaking like a leaf. I was sitting on the couch when he strutted in and I was starting to fall asleep because of how comfortable it was but he came in and it suddenly felt like I was sitting on a prickly rock. He stood by the fireplace, adjusting his cufflinks with an air of authority that only made me feel smaller.“The wedding is tomorrow,” he said, his tone flat and unexcited, as though this wasn’t the biggest thing happening in my life right now. “It’ll be grand, public, and impossible to ignore. After that, we’ll go on a honeymoon.”Honeymoon? My stomach flipped. I froze, staring at him, but he didn’t even look at me. I could feel the heat creeping up my neck as my nerves kicked into overdrive. A honeymoon? With him? Did that mean what I think it means?I swallowed hard, trying to steady my voice. “Honeymoon?” I managed to say, though it came out quieter than I’d intended.That was whe
