“No, we have a deal remember? I’m telling you this will all be fine.” She smiled, but it looked like she was going to break down and cry.She and I both.“I’m in serious debt too. Expect no one’s paying for it and I’m running out of time.”“Brad… you’ll be his wife I’m sure he’ll pay it.”I frowned. I’m not going to beg him. Would I rather marry Rocco and be subjected to his fantasies or become a prostitute? Brad wasn’t going to make it easy for me. Especially after I ran out on him.“I doubt that.” I pouted.“Okay, how much debt are you in?”I bit my lip. I’m sure she spent more on shoes which gave me to confidence to tell her.“Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”Her eyes went wide she even stumbled back. “Gianna Amelia Glass! What in the world?!”“Haven’t you spent more on shoes?”“Why would I do that?!”I’m dead.She paced the length of my room, taking in deep breaths.“See! I needed this. Now they guy’s pressuring me to pay him and I don’t have a dime.”“I… I don’t even wa

“Every inch of you belongs to me sweetheart. I won’t let you make a fool of me. You need to be broken in.” His words should have been threatening, but they turned every nerve in my body on.The way he spoke in my ear and held me possessively in his arms. Oh damn him.“Oh… ha! I didn’t mean to interrupt.”Brad moved away and I could finally breath. He snaked my waist, tugging me to his side as a slightly drunk man wobbled over to us. He had to be around Brad’s age. His eyes wouldn’t leave me. I was sure I’d seen him around here watching me.“Luke.” Brad said calmly.“I was looking for Turner’s whiskey stash. Can’t take any more of this Champaign.”If he asked me he shouldn’t move on to the whiskey at all with the way, he wobbled.“Hmm, good luck finding that. You know how these old men are with their alcohol.” Brad said, sounding jaded.“Bradley, don’t tell me this fine specimen is yours.” Luke said.Brad’s hand tightened around my waist.“Gia’s my fiancé.” Brad said.Luke staggered ba

No one stopped us when we left the table. Not even a word, except Bryan who coughed suspiciously.“Is there something you want to show me at your house Brad?” I asked.We were in the hall, walking towards the exit. I noticed tall frames holding oil paintings of men and women. His relatives. Some of them were modern photos as the rows of portraits went on. I was about to ask about them when I was pinned to the wall in an instant.“Do I really have to spell it out for you Gia?” He smirked, his face too close for innocence to mine.I swallowed. He wanted… “I thought we already had this conversation.” I tried to play it nonchalant, but he could feel my heart racing, I’m sure he wasn’t buying it.“I’m not interested in you Brad.”He narrowed his eyes at me. “Yes, you are. I see it when you shiver.”His nose ran up my neck and my blasted body reacted by doi

“It’s too late to take my other option Gianna.” Rocco said.Not that I’d want to be his wife. I could only imagine the trauma of being tied to him for life.“I hate to admit you wounded my pride ego when you got engaged to Bradley.”For how long after this? I glanced at the door, was there really no way to escape this?“There’s no way out of this Gianna.” He laughed. “You owe me your life at this point.”“You don’t have to keep reminding me!” I snapped.He raised his hands in mock surrender. He smirked. I hated the way he looked at me. It was like he had the power to see through clothes and could see everything I possessed. I shuddered, wanting to wrap my arms around myself.“Let’s get to it Gia. I’ve been looking forward to this.” He pushed his chair back.I leaned back in mine. Suddenly Rocco was too big. This is not what I expected to happen when I took my mom’s debt. I thought everything would be fixed when I signed a contract to marry Brad. I’d run out of Brad’s house while he wa

Brad had been in there too long. What was he doing? What were they discussing? Was Rocco ratting me out? Of course he was. I nibbled on my nails and paced the side walked as I waited. How did he even know I was here?Brad walked through the front entrance and I raced to him. Ready to bombard him with questions.“What did you talk about?” I asked.“Nothing.”“There’s no way it could be nothing.”“Go home Gianna.”His features turned to ice like an entire lake during the winter.“Wait, he didn’t give you the right version. Let me explain.” My face became hot and my voice swelled with emotion.I shouldn’t care, what he thinks, but I couldn’t stand that he found me that way; bent over a desk with Rocco’s hand in my ass.“I believe the version I saw Gianna.”“No, come on.” I didn’t like the way my voice cracked and that I was on the verge of tears.“Just get in the car. I’ll take you home.”There was no room for protest. He walked back into the club. Whether to get away from me or drink hi

Brad stood and stalked toward me. I could still hear the rocks clicking in the glass, but Brad had long abandoned the glass.“I’m surprised you still think I’m your fiancé.” He stood a foot away from me.“You… you didn’t deny it in front of Brea.”“Yeah, but that depends on you.”“What do you mean?”He towered over me. It felt like he was gripping me, but Brad kept his hands to himself.“I knew you were a hazard the day I saw you. Now look what you’ve done?”“This had nothing to do with you.”“You’ve said enough.” He grabbed my cheeks and squeezed. “There’s only one way you’re going to marry me. You’re going to be mine Gianna. Mine to possess, mine to fuck and mine to play with. No negotiations.”“What?” I wiggled out of his hold.“Unless you want your father to die in his debts.”“Stop. Don’t punish him for this. You don’t even know the full story—”“Sins of the daughter might as well be felt by the father. What’s your answer? I’m not giving you time to think about this.”I wrapped m

“Nora, you’re not ready!”She was in a bonnet sipping on a hot cup of coffee in her pink robe and Rebecca was on her way to pick me up with the driver.“Ready for what?”“We’re going wedding dress shopping today!”“That’s not today!”“Yes it is.” I groaned and paced the length of the kitchen isle.Nora’s eyes went wide. “That evil witch didn’t tell me she changed the date of the fittings.”“You have to get changed. I can’t go there alone. Sadie’s going to be there.”Nora cringed, “Look at me Gia. I’m hours away from being ready.”The house lady walked in and I knew I was screwed.“Mrs. Wolfe is here.”“What do I do?” I hissed.“You have to go! Now.”“I can’t do this.” I felt sick to my stomach.Nora set her coffee down and grabbed my elbow. She dragged me to the door.“Oh yes you can. You have to show the Wolfe women you might be a Glass but you’re made of stone. You can do this.”I didn’t know how Nora became my biggest alley in this. I gave her an unsuspecting squeeze. “Thank you.”

I left the bridal store without my dress. The consultant said they didn’t have another dress like that in white the only other color they had was blue and I knew my mother would never let me get married in a blue gown. Then I thought about how I hadn’t told my mother I was getting married in less than two months.I couldn’t go home after that so I met up with Lilly at a café to vent. She wished she had my life and all its drama. I would gladly trade places and become a stable accountant with a predictable yet safe life.“By the way. I will pay you back Lilly. I just need a little time.” I said, digging into my ice cream.She waved me away. “When you’re married to a billionaire loan shark? Forget it. I don’t want it.”“Loan shark? Brad’s a loan shark?”She snickered and nodded. “Didn’t you know the man you’re marrying does for a living?”“I thought his family owned a bank.”“Of course that’s the legal thing. Officially, they’re the biggest loan sharks ever. They’re protected by politic

“Sorry about your shirt,” I said as Rocco washed his hands.“It would have been my shirt or your dress. I needed a distraction to get you alone,” he smirked.“How do you know my Dad?” I wasn’t sure I wanted the answer to this.“We’ve done business together. Whatever that is you don’t need to know.”I planted my hand on my hip, “The first day of our relationship and you’re already keeping secrets from me?”Rocco laughed. He grabbed my chin and kissed me. “One thing about me is I’ll try to protect you at any cost. Let it go, okay?”I nodded. My heart settled. Some things were better left buried.We walked of the bathroom at the same time and drew some eyes. I turned to Rocco he walked ahead unbothered. He oozed confidence. I appeared by his side. I still had to answer questions about my ex-boyfriend and being seen so close to Rocco would spark rumours then I remembered I needed to get Candice out of the bathroom.“I have to take care of my sister,” I whispered.Rocco smiled easily, “I’l

After Rocco left I couldn’t sleep. I curled into my bed and rethought the entire night. The most traumatizing thing was Chad kissing Cleo. I couldn’t digest that I was single. I’d been with Chad for so long already. Rocco bore his heart out but the night wasn’t long enough for me to come to a decision.The next morning, I had to get ready for my sister’s engagement. I put on a brave face for my family and prepared of the engagement taking place at seven in the evening.Gianna told me she couldn’t make it. She hadn’t been feeling well so Brad put her on lockdown. I needed my best friend but this was my battle to face. There would be questions when I showed up without Chad. Mom would throw a fit.The sun came and went before I knew it I was packing up my makeup and picking shoes. After drowning a glass of wine I called a cab. The engagement was at my family’s estate which had been in the family for years. Mom would sell her leg before selling that piece of property. Thank goodness I did

Rocco chuckled, “Aren’t you going to answer that?”“Hide in my room!”Rocco grimaced before walking to the couch, settling on it and lifting his feet on the stool.“That isn’t hiding Rocco!”Rocco rolled his head back and rested his palms on his chest like an innocent man. The pounding continued.“Lilly, open up,” Chad demands.I fidgeted with my hands. I couldn’t just wait here until he went away.“Want me to open the door for you? You knew this was a long time coming.” Rocco pushed himself up from the couch and closed the space between us. He was right. I cheated on Chad now I had to face the explosion.I marched to the door. I glanced at Rocco there was a hint of surprise on his face but he said nothing. I opened the door. Something squeezed my heart when Chad appeared on the other side stood his receptionist Cleo.“What’s going on?” I asked.Chad marched inside, Cleo tailing him. Alright, y’all can both come in, I thought.“You’re asking me what’s going on? Who’s he?” Chad pointed

Rocco picked up the phone slowly. He leaned back and brought the phone to his face. Silence settled between us while he scrutinized the photos. Did he even know what he was looking at? He was so drunk nothing must be registering in his mind.Then he tossed the phone on the table.“What is this? Did you come to seduce me with your semi-nude photos?”“Excuse me? Seduce you? Don’t you know what those are?”“Pictures of your ass,” he said, bringing the empty glass to his lips. He frowned when he got nothing out of the glass.“Pictures I didn’t take! Did you send these?”“Why would I, Lilly?”He hauled his body off the chair and staggered to the liquor case. I groaned and followed him to the case. I caught his arm before he could grab another bottle.“That’s enough alcohol for one night,” I said.He snatched his arm back. “You can’t tell me what to do.”“I have a problem here! Someone has nude photos of me if it isn’t you.”“Your naked imagine is embedded in my mind for the rest of time.”

I ran to my door but there was no one chasing me. I ran as if a dog was right on my heels. I never wanted to see another silver suit in my life. I didn’t think I would have to walk around nearly butt naked. I would have to sell my soul to do it. I’d have to sell my soul to pay Rocco back. Tears rolled down my cheek as I rummaged my kitchen for a bottle of wine I kept for special occasions. I kept it under the sink. I pulled out the bottle of white wine and grabbed a curvy wine glass. I filled the glass and collapsed on my couch. I was screwed. I would have to go to my parents for money and maybe my sister. I sniffled the ultimate embarrassment. I kicked off my heels. My boyfriend would leave me. At least my best friend wouldn’t abandon me. On my second glass pounding came from my door. I grumbled. I ignore it and took a sip. The pounding continued. I didn’t care I couldn’t afford this apartment anyway so if my neighbours complained it was fine with me. “Emilia! Open this door.” I

I arrived under the cover of night at the nightclub. I let my hair down, plastered on red lipstick. I pulled out black heels from the back of my closet and pulled on a black coat. Maybe I would fit in at the club. Still my skin crawled when I entered the underground club.The bouncers let me through. The bartender left his station and told me to go to the office to the right. It wasn’t Rocco’s office. The office was smaller than Rocco’s office. It had a desk and a chair behind it. An arm chair the in the corner of the room as well as a small liquor cabinet.“Where’s Rocco?” I asked.“He left but I was told to bring you here when you came.”“Okay?” I walked to the chair in the corner. “By whom?” Too late the bartender was already gone.I picked up the brown liquid on the desk. I brought it to my nose and winced. Strong stuff. Did Rocco have another office? He wouldn’t mind if I helped myself to a bottle in his cabinet.I scanned the bottles each one stronger than the last. I settled on

My sister scowled and raved about me being late and my hair being a mess. I couldn’t argue with her about my hair. It looked like I just walked out a bed I’d been fucked in all night. I was thankful rather than mad when she gave me a pink beanie.“You know what you’re looking for Candice?”“I’ve got an idea. I’m thinking glamourous rich princess.”“I’m having a hard time envisioning it,” I frowned as we walked into a dress store with pink cursive letters over the door. Headless manikins posed in the windows wearing dresses of all sorts of designs.We walked in and the scent of lavender and lilac welcomed us along with a ceiling covered in yellow lights. Rows and rows of wedding gowns lined the walls and extended to the backrooms. This place reminded me of how I missed my best friend’s dress fitting.Gianna’s situation was complicated. I wouldn’t have made much of a difference. Her sister-in-law showed up with her husband’s ex-mistress. The day ended with a damaged wedding dress that G

Rocco’s fingers traced the line of the side of my body. How did I end up back here? I lay in his bed, staring at the bathroom door. My clothes had been discarded on the ground. I asked him to help me forget that people exist. He did that. For hours.Subtle moans turned to screams that would have Rocco’s neighbours reporting him in the morning. He closed his lips on my neck. If I checked the time on my phone it would tell me, it was somewhere after two in the morning. I should have been at home instead I was snuggling closer to a man that had knives sticking out of him.“Rocco?”“Lilly?” he rested his palm where he wore a cold metal ring on my hip.“Aren’t your neighbours going to complain? I made a lot of noise.”He chuckled and brushed my hair out of my face. “They should get used to it.”My heart cracked with information I had tucked in the back of my mind.“Right… you have a lot of women here.”“None of which are like you.”I wanted to tell him all women are different but he slid h

“Hey,” I flipped my hair over my shoulder and smiled wide.Chad marched in and looked around.“Are you with someone?” He asked.“What? No. I’m alone. I’m ready too. Shall we get going? You know mom likes us to be on time.”He eyed me from head to toe. “You look gorgeous but I’m sure I heard voices in here.”“Voices? I had the TV on must have been that. I turned it off when I answered the door.”“You were talking to the TV?” He raised his brows at me.“Chad? Would I do that? Maybe you’re just stressed you work a lot.”“I’ve been stressed before and I’ve certainly never heard things.”His eyes roamed around the living room and scrutinized the balcony doors. Anything but the bedroom.“Can we leave? I don’t want to get on mom’s bad side tonight.”He br
