Thank you for reading
Camilla My eyes slowly begin to shut as I feel my body fight for air. A vibration makes him pull back. It's his phone. I hold my neck and I cough and tears fall continuously. I glare at him and unable to hold back, I jump and the surprise attack makes him tumble back a few steps but he manages to catch me like I weigh nothing. ‘’Let me go you son of a bitch!’’ I scream and she chuckles like he finds me amusing. ‘’As you wish,’’ he says as he lets go, making me fall on my ass and it hurts like hell. I scratch my ass from my jean as I try to reduce the pain from the fall. How old is this man? Six years old?! ‘’This must be so fun for you.’’ I hiss and instead of another chuckle, he turns serious as he walks towards me and I move back but moving with your ass does little to help the situation. ‘’It’s the opposite actually.’’ He says as he squats to reach my level but the man is so tall that even while he’s squatting, I have to look up to meet his gaze. So I don’t. ‘’What do you
Ella Adrian left me to make wedding preparations on my own. I was so upset but then again, I’m just grateful that this whole mess has began to die down a little. I was hurt after discovering that everyone has been looking for me lately and not because I was attractive, but because of what my family line has been in charge of. ‘’What kind of twisted game is this!?’’ I ask Nana who just looks at me apologetically as if they had no choice. ‘’What's the whole point of this if you can’t even keep your own family safe by paying their hospital bills?’’ I spit angrily as I am unable to understand how a normal mother would watch her child die in the name of keeping a legacy safe. I had come to visit her but from the way Adrian insisted I knew something was up but I had no idea that it was something as horrifying as sacrificing my mother. ‘’I was being tested. Ella.’’ She begins but stops halfway when I glare at her. ‘’So you decided to cover up and use my mother’s blood as a cleansing sac
Luca Everything is not going the way it should. First of all, I don’t want these men in my house. Second of all, Ella is not supposed to be here and now that she is, she knows Camilla is alive which causes a problem for me because I’m already not on good terms with her but this will make it even worse. I look at Adrian and we exchange a silent agreement and he tells me what to do with a nod. Eyes are on him and if he doesn’t control this situation, word will spread and a bigger issue will come up. Being Capo comes with a lot of shit and looking confused and pussy whipped is not one of them. Adrian sighs, a heavy acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation. "I thought it was for the best, Ella. There were complications, things I couldn't burden you with at the time," he says and the anger in her eyes only grows. I turn my gaze to Camilla who looks like she is at a loss of words and my heart clenches painfully. I shouldn’t give a damn but I do, and it bothers me. We have
Ella Emotions are everywhere. I came here to be consoled but faced worse betrayal. It may not be a big deal for them but it is for me. They took her away and declared her dead. My anger is now replaced by a flood of guilt. Did they do it because she started being close to me? I now feel very bad because I may have set her life upside down without knowing.’’It wasn’t Adrian's fault.’’ her soft voice pulls me back from my abyss of guilt and I turn to her. ‘’You don’t have to defend him you know.’’ I force a smile and she sighs. ‘’It was completely my fault. I betrayed and sold everything you told me to Sofia. I even encouraged you to go out with her didn’t that ring a bell?’’ tears swell in her eyes and I reach over to her and squeeze her hands. The car comes to a stop at a red light and I smile a half smile at a friend I once thought I had lost. ‘’I almost died, Camilla. Twice. I understand it’s not easy being forced into a life you never planned for. I understand you better than
Luca A distressed Ella walks in with Torren who looks like his life flashed before his eyes. ‘’Why do you both look like shit?’’ No words come out, only tears and I frown. What the hell is wrong with our little bride? Adrian bursts in and is panicking’’ Ella!’’ He breathes as he rushes to her side and wraps his arms around her. And now the groom too, I shake my head. ‘’Did someone die? What the Fuck is going on?’’ I ask irritatedly when all I see are continuous tears and no one seems to want to speak. I look in Torren’s direction ‘’’ Well?’’ I raise my eyebrow and he avoids contact with me. Are we still on the betrayal shit? I think to myself but I don't bother asking out loud. ‘’Camilla and Ella went out and ended up at a bridal store. It seems we relaxed a little since no one knew we were in Vegas.’’ Adrian speaks but it makes no sense to me. Adrian fucking Capo relaxing? That's new. ‘’So why does everyone look agitated?’’ I ask as I try to grasp the situation. ‘’Where
Camilla Life can be so unfair. The most painful thing about my life is that I’m always unlucky. Instead of a normal life, I’m paying my father’s debt and to protect my sister, I have to work harder and clear it, so she doesn’t live the same life as me even if I die in the process. The only man my heart jumps for thinks of me as nothing but a slut to help relieve his swollen cock and it hurts me. And now I'm in this mess again. One minute I was with Ella and the next I was hit with something heavy making me black out and now I have no idea where the hell I am. I'm not even sure if my legs are working. Fear clings to every fiber of my being as I find myself trapped in the dimly lit warehouse. The cold, hard floor beneath me feels unforgiving, and my hands are tightly bound. ‘’No one is coming to save me and I have no money so if you’re planning on killing me, please do it quickly,’’ I speak as high as I can even though my throat feels like it’s been set on fire. ‘’Is that what
Camilla The sound goes through loud enough to burst a heart and that heart which is about to busted is mine. I watch but the horror isn’t as I expect because the one who gets shot is not Luca. But his crazy ex. Adrian stands behind and once she drops dead, Luca is quick on his feet too ‘’Quickly hide.’’ He tells me and I turn but stop mid-way. ‘’What about you? I whisper and he curses under his breath as another gunshot rings. The goons start to multiply and as the gunfire increases, I freeze. ‘’For fucks sake Camilla, you will get me killed while I try to protect you so hide so I can stay alive.’’ He growls and that is enough to set my heels on fire. Part of me wants to ask why he would die protecting me but I decide better of it and obey. I duck behind some crates which is the best I can do at the moment. Luca came to save me and Adrian came to save Luca? Okay dying here tonight will be better than going back home and having to explain why a ‘’Moretti’’ saved me. There i
Adrian The day has finally arrived and I will be making Ella my wife. Not for the ledger and not for power but because I have fallen for her. Hard. When I went to that Auction five months ago, I wanted to ruin her. Her tears were satisfying for me and my sadistic cock. But now all I want is to see her smile. I will burn the fucking world for her without even blinking or thinking twice about it. The ledger is just a bonus and if it will keep her five times more safe, then why not? "Come on man, you don't even have friends!" Luca nudges me and I hold back the urge to punch him. "No!" I growl and he curses. "Why not?" He frowns and his blue eyes light up in amusement like a child. The only time I've ever seen this side of Luca is when he is asking me to give him someone to torture, seeing him behave this way over wanting to be my best man makes me question if my assumptions have been right all along. "You want to be the best man just because Camilla is the Chief bridesmaid?
