Ella My eyes flutter open and I try to get up but I end up right back in bed. My body feels like I have been hit by a truck. Every muscle in my body screams in protest as I try to move. Adrian's impromptu training session has left me physically drained, and the soreness was a constant reminder of the challenges I was facing. The most irritating thing is having to drive at a crazy speed without him even giving me an explanation. Italian men are a bunch of assholes. From this moment forward I will judge them based on one man. And to think only his presence would drain me. I don't even remember how I fell asleep after rejecting Blondie's food. What if she tried to kill me? Okay, that's a stretch because Adrian will kill her too. That much she knows and I do too. But this warm feeling in my heart doesn't mean that I forgive what he did. You can't just marry someone like this. Hell, I don't even know if I want to get married. Why can't he just keep me as a pet instead? Are my gr
Adrian I had to leave Ella to make sure that no security was breached. I missed her like hell and having to do this is killing me. I wish I was making her my wife under different circumstances but what can I do? Being king has its downside. Wishes are for small children. As I drive to my mother's apartment, I can't help but think about how she will take the news once she hears that she is a prize everyone is after due to the ledger. I don't give a fuck about it, but if it will weaken my territories then I might as well own the fucking thing. I step on the gas to cloud my thoughts and speed through the night. She has fucked up on several occasions but I was decent enough to get her a penthouse as far away from me as fucking possible. My phone flashes and I pick up using the button on my steering wheel "Just let me blow her brains out." Luca complains. "Is that why you called? You can't handle one female?" I respond flatly knowing that this is his worst nightmare. "You're doing
Adrian As I sit with Luca on my way back to pick up Ella, my mind is miles away. This is shit even I can't handle. It's getting too hard and as I grip the steering wheel, my knuckles whiten. "Man, are you okay? You look like you are going to rip off that steering wheel." He says jokingly but when I don't even curse at him, he frowns. "What's going on Adrian?" He asks concern laced in his voice. Well, I just found out that my mother screwed your father and had me. I don't know who Ella's father is and if he is alive and promised her to another Fuck head. The news will spread even further meaning my enemies will multiply and until I have that fucking ledger, I can't keep her safe enough. How do I talk about all this and trust that he will still stand by me? I trust him but breaking his mother's heart is a deal breaker even for him and because I'm a selfish son of a bitch, I don't tell him what is really going on but I give him the clean version instead. "I'm just worried abou
Adrian The dress is packed and my eyes narrow to check if anything has gone wrong. My men are still positioned where they should be but I feel off. If that man was after the ledger and I take Ella with me she may be in danger but I fucking need to get something out of him. I pick up my phone and dial Luca's number. "You're done playing house boss?" "Get your shit together Luca, I need you here. I just saw Carlos." I hiss into the phone. Unable to equally believe what I'm saying. I buried the man myself. How is he still walking the earth? "Shit!. Should I call back up and come pick up Ella?" "No. Stay there and make sure the venue is not messed with. I'm sure he is up to something. I will call Jay to take Ella. I know he will protect her with his life." I inform him. I took Jay in when he was very young and was being abused by his father. I trained the boy myself and is the only one I can trust after Luca. "No problem Boss. What will you tell her?" He asks and I sigh. "I'
Adrian I kiss her passionately. Unable to let her go for fear that she might fly away. "I'm not complaining but where is the love coming from today?" She asks. Instead of answering her, I kiss her again. She pulls back and places her hands on my chest setting my whole body on fire. "Did you kill my grandparents?" She asks, fear laced in her voice and I shake my head about to bend over for another one. Finally, I pull back and open the car door for her. "I wouldn't dare," I say jokingly and She laughs. I can hear that sound for the rest of my life. I don't know when it happened but I have slowly made peace with the fact that I love this woman. I don't know how or when it happened but I can't hold back anymore. When I Marry her, it will be a real fucking thing. She enters the car and I fasten the seatbelt for her and close the door. "You protect her with your life," I warn Jay. "Got it, boss." And they drive away leaving me to deal with the hell I've been avoiding the past thr
Ella My cheeks are flushed and my center is bruised from the sex I just had right in the middle of the boutique. My goodness, what have I become and what is this man turning me into? He ruined my life and is marrying me like I’m an object. But he kept me safe, rescued me, and bathed me when I was bruised. When I needed him he was there. My hatred has now turned into a feeling I can’t understand. I was supposed to love Toddy alone but now I can’t even remember the last time I thought about him. My world has been constantly turned upside down. I’m truly thankful for the distraction and honestly, I can use a real friend. My mind drifts back to Camilla and tears swell in my heart. How could this have happened to that free-spirited girl? Life is a bitch indeed. ‘’We’ve arrived Miss,’’ Jay speaks up after what seems like hours. ‘’Thank you,’’ I respond in almost a whisper but I notice that he exits the car to follow me up too. I don’t bother asking because I remember Adrian growling
Lila She got it. Everything I wanted she had gotten. When I showed the thugs her new location, I thought they would kill her sell her parts, and give me my share. They auctioned her instead and when Adrian reached out to me I was dumbfounded. He should have been mine. I deserve it more than she does. I mean she has it all yet all she does is complain and doesn’t even offer me a large sum of money. My heart flutters with a mix of emotions as she shares the unexpected twists in her life. My ears feel like they will bleed out if I keep sitting here and listening to her whining. I glare at Jay who just mouths ‘’It wasn’t me.’’ The reservation in her eyes paints a picture of a whirlwind romance and a web of secrets, a world I should be a part of. This adventure with a man who played both the role of her savior and captor should have been mine. I can't help but be simultaneously angry and envious of the unpredictable narrative she found herself in. If I had known this was how it was g
Ella My eyes flutter open but my body is on fire. My head is pounding like someone is hitting me constantly with a harmer. I rub my eyes when I realize that I'm locked in a room I don't recognize. I was at Lila's apartment. Where the hell am I right now? Why does my body feel like it's on fire? I try to stand up but end up collapsing back on the bed. "Easy there sweetheart." A deep voice rings as he opens the door but his voice is not as deep as Adrian's because I would recognize his voice even in my sleep. Who the hell is this ugly-looking bastard? I sneer as he closes the door behind him. He has a round face and a mustache. Definitely different from his voice and every time he speaks I feel like I will laugh but the pain in my body is just too much for me to move my facial muscles. "Welcome princess. My name is Marco. Your new groom no?" He says in a funny English-Italian accent. My what?! I frown as confusion hits me. What kind of sick joke is this? "Why would yo

Camilla ‘’I can’t believe I said yes and I’m wearing a wedding gown instead of being on a flight away from here.’’ I shake my head in disbelief and Ella laughs as she stares at my reflection with me. This has been the most crazy thing I've done and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so happy and being here with my best friend makes it even more fulfilling. ‘’I guess the day we went out to try on the dress was a sign that the time was near.’’She jokes but quickly rushes to the bathroom. ‘’Ella are you okay?’’ I follow her and she turns to me with a thumbs up as the realization hits me. She is pregnant! ‘’I haven’t told him yet she confesses and I laugh. ‘’Your secret is safe with me.’’ I wink at her and we continue to prepare for my wedding. Who would have thought that the two of us would ever tie the not? I was just a maid, he was the prince of the underworld. I can’t help but feel nervous and wonder if I’m good enough for him. ‘’Was the Viktor issue handled?’’ I ask Ella
Camilla It’s been five days since the doctor said Luca would be fine. Three days ago he regained consciousness but I’ve been too afraid to approach him. I don’t know if he even wants to see me. His mother has been very supportive and hopeful that our love will blossom into something beautiful but I’m not so sure about that. We have never been on the same page and now I don’t even know how to face him. It's crazy how time flies and relationships change. But I can't help but wonder. What do you say to a man who took a bullet for you after you had said the most horrible things to him? ‘’Just go and see him before you regret it,’’ Ella says and I shake my head. I have been avoiding visiting him by any means necessary because the guilt wouldn't let me live after seeing him unconscious and knowing that my mouth led us here. If only had kept quiet and not said anything to provoke Viktor, maybe this would have turned out differently. Once again, it has been proven that we are meant to
CamillaEverything happens so fast that my mind can barely keep up with it. Tears roll down my face as I sock into Luca’s blood. His body starts to get cold and I scream so loud as the guilt grips me. The one time that I decide to finally stand up and not be tossed around, costs me so much. This should have been me. I should have been hit but he took the bullet for me. He did it even when I had said the most horrible things to him. I don’t know how everything happens but I hear guns blaring and shouting. Angry voices are in the air as someone pulls me from Luca. Everything is in slow motion and it feels like I’m not really present but experiencing this through someone else. ‘’Mr. Moretti said to protect you with our lives!.’’ The man shouts but I fight him. ‘’You should be calling an ambulance! Can’t you see he is on the brink of death?!’’ I scream but it seems I’ve been screaming so much without knowing and my voice is now barely audible. ‘’Take her to safety!’’ Adrian orders and
Adrian. Pride cannot begin to explain what I’m feeling as I watch Luca beat up the famous Dimitri like it's nothing. Blood splashes everywhere with each punch that he throws. He tries to throw a few punches, but Luca is too fast and too accurate. The boy is a machine and having made him my enforcer satisfies me to the very core because like always, I only got the best. I knew he had feelings for Camilla even before I had asked him to watch over her and my assumptions were proven right after that but I did not think he would push through with this despite my countless warnings.’’The brat has really fallen in love this time.’’ I chuckle as I pull out my phone which is vibrating. ‘’Are you just going to let that little spoilt brat start a war!’’ John shouts and I have to remove the phone from my earpiece to avoid them from bursting. ‘’That brat is the Enforcer and if he has done so much damage to a man like Dimitri, imagine what he will do to you?’’ I respond lazily. I don’t even k
Luca Anger seethes through me as I walk out of Camilla’s apartment. I don’t blame her but the least she could have done was trust me and join hands with me. I guess I’ve done so much to hurt her that she would rather hate me. Even though I know she didn’t mean anything she said, It hurts like hell. ‘’Send up security five times more intense,’’ I instruct Sean. I was too late and I found the son of a bitch gone, but that was the last time because everything ends now. The Russians may have power but I’m a fucking enforcer with Moretti blood in my veins. Power is defined by us and I’m about to show these men exactly what that means. My phone vibrates and I check the caller ID as I walk to the car. ‘’Yes, boss?’’ I respond, addressing Adrian as I expect him to gloat. "Viktor called.’’He says and I laugh dryly. ‘’Then I guess you got the memo. I was hoping to call you once I got his head on a silver platter.’’ I speak through the phone as I step on the reverse. ‘’I will handle Vikt
’Someone just came in from the back door! Camilla are they here to kill us?!’’ Cassie cries in fear and I run to hold her in a tight hug before whispering, ‘’Everything is going to be okay. Just remain calm okay?’’ ‘’Oh, I hate loud bitches. Shut her or I will. Permanently.’’ Dimitri growls as he takes a sit on the couch and his goons stand in the corners of our apartment. My thoughts are moving at an incredible speed only to come up with no solution. The only thing I have is fear. I should have known something was wrong when he asked so much about me and from the way that Luca reacted when he saw him. I should have read the signs and like he is reading my mind he says, ‘’Oh don’t beat up yourself too much. You couldn’t have known. But now you do so I suggest you do the right thing and we will all be happy.’’ ‘’I have no money and I owe no one. What do you want from us!?’’ I scream as tears roll down my face. I should stand and be strong but the strength is slowly fading and I can
Camilla The tea flies all over the place as I try to sink in what Luca just said. ‘’That’s not funny!’’ I snap but he doesn’t smile or tease me. He just looks straight into my eyes and I shift uncomfortably. I wait for the moment when he passes a nasty comment to break the ice but it doesn't come. I get more uncomfortable as the realization hits me. He is serious! I clear my throat as I try to digest what is happening until I find the strength to speak,’’ Luca, we can’t just get married.’’ I reason with him but he frowns and I smile at how cute he gets when something confuses him. ‘’Why not? We love each other.’’ He says and I nod although, I’m still yet to believe that this man here loves me. My heart pounds at a crazy speed to hear him repeat that. ‘’Well ...’’ , I begin but he beats me to it. ‘’You don’t believe me?’’ He asks as an expression of pain crosses his features. ‘’I do. I do. It’s just that we have so many things to sort out. I mean I was made to leave because
Luca Without uttering a word, I move closer, my gaze never leaving hers. The air is charged with an unspoken tension, and as I reach her, I gently cup her face with my hands. The warmth of her skin beneath my touch sends shivers down my spine. "What have you done to me?" I repeat my voice now a whisper. Camilla's eyes search mine for answers, and I lean in, capturing her lips with a slow, lingering kiss. It's a moment of passion and a load of emotions, a silent exchange of emotions that words fail to convey. She responds, her fingers finding their way into my hair as the kiss deepens. The connection between us intensifies, the weight of unspoken desires filling the room. I pull back, just enough to look into her eyes. "I can't stop thinking about you," I confess again, the raw honesty hanging in the air. "I want you close, Camilla. Closer than ever." She looks at me, her expression a mix of surprise and something else, something that mirrors the uncharted territory of her own feel
