DARLENE

”I must say, Mrs. Alex McKenzie, that the manor looks different than before,” Laura commented as we settled on the dark marble top dining table at the lounge.

I heaved an inward sigh. We hadn't even lasted five minutes after I forgave my best friend for stabbing me in the back- however accidental- and here she was already nitpicking my new house.

The agonies of having a perfectionist best friend.

“What now Laura?” I heaved, making a show of sighing exasperatedly and fixing my fists under my chin as I glanced around the crisp rustic-styled wallpaper of the lounge area, complete with large morose-looking family portraits lined side by side.

I knew off the bat, that it wasn't the drab aesthetic Laura had been referring to. There was a certain coldness to the air, a chill not brought on by the nasty weather.

And guess whose fault that was? That's right, Laura’s.

If she hadn't opened her big fat mouth to tell the McKenzie's secret Alexander opened his big fat-rather delicious mouth

    ALEXANDER“You little shit!” Darlene shrieked before she flew at me to bite me hard in the neck, shocking the sense out of me as I struggled to keep from promptly dropping the woman.“Ow! Goddammit, Darlene, how many times have I told you to drop your carnivorous tendencies around me, dammit,” I growled in the woman’s ear and she made a shivering noise, making me laugh despite myself before my eyes fastened on the attractive woman who had been watching us with a look of longing on her face.“Diego was it?” I mused and the dark-haired lady seemed to snap into a grin, rushing forward to nod excessively.I am about to cuddle the porcelain bean that had latched on to me tighter when I felt her stiffen in my hands and my heart dropped.Could she smell it on me?The stench of violence and blood? I felt pinpricks of fear pinch at my chest where her soft bosom had mashed into mine.“Where the hell have you been?” Darlene’s honeyed murmur had a strange lilt to it as I lowered her to the glassy

    DARLENEMy husband stared at me like I had grown multiple breasts on the crown of my head, before breaking into an easy laugh, the ring of it felt like I'd been pouring butter down my insides.“Sheesh- Must have spaced out for a hot minute there didn't I?” Alexander whispered, appearing to have been searching my face for a moment before he spread his arms out to me again and I settled reflexively in the cocoon of his toned arms.“Want me to cart you upstairs, bridal style?” His deep baritone rumored in my ear, and I felt the rumble to the tips of my crack-polish toes.I sighed internally, Once a cafe girl, always a cafe girl. I knew I should have dressed up today!Now here I was, being carted up the grand staircase to the prince’s chambers where the master bedroom was, looking like a mold potato that’d been left out in the rain too long.I looked up into the man’s eyes once more, just as the gold-plated door of the master bedroom cane to view and I managed to tear my eyes from what wa

    DARLENE”Come here.” Alexander said softly, but my husband needn’t have bothered. I didn’t mind the order that was laced around the words as I snuggled into his chest, the warmth of his breath fanning the hair from my face pleasantly.Shit! Laura! I’d forgotten all about her and abandoned her downstairs, with nothing but the strawberry-haired oaf for company.I chewed at my bottom lip anxiously, knowing deep down that I’d never been much of a good host before deciding I would make it up to her in the morning.I was with my husband after all. I thought, turning to stare at the bulk of male energy beside me but only being able to make out the chiseled line of his jaw and the black flutters in his long eyelashes as he scored softly behind me.I sighed heavily, remembering how my mother had told me that it was the way of men to die briefly after any sort of intimacy., a wrinkle formed on my face as I wondered fleetingly, whether she had cautioned me about her own experiences with Dad.Nas

    DARLENE"He's taking me on a trip to Italy,"I said into the phone, swinging my legs in the air gently as my eyes darted around the messy room I had turned upside down earlier while I was sorting through my clothes for the trip.My sudden announcement was met with an eerie silence which had me furrowing my brows. I stopped swinging my legs in the air and sat up on the bed, a bemused look clouding my face.I had expected a reply after what I just said but all I got in return was silence. An eerie silence I found uncomfortable and unnerving. Laura was nothing but a quiet person."Laura?" I called out to her, to be sure I dialed the right number. Even though I knew how stupid that sounds, we were practically talking a few minutes ago and now, she just went all silent on me.I heard some rustling at her end of the phone which signaled she was still on the call with me, accompanied by her soft exhale."I'm here, sweet girl. I just got distracted." She spoke up warmly and I chuckled, fallin

    ALEXANDERWe landed in Italy at night. She was fast asleep already. She had been going on and on about our trip while we were on the Jet, chatting on about it non-stop. It was cute. Heck, I could watch her talk all day and not get tired. After instructing the attendant to get our luggages to the car, I picked her up gently, carrying her in a bridal style. She stirred in my arms and I chuckled, heading out of the Jet.I was too exhausted to drive. I had a driver drive us to my Villa downtown. The drive to the Villa was unusually tiring. I could barely keep my eyes open. The driver drive into the quiet area, pulling the car to a stop. I got out of the Car and carried her carefully. Careful enough not to wake her up.I threw the maid a curt nod and headed straight to the room we'd be staying. Pushing the door open with my legs, I moved to the bed and dropped her on it.My breathe hitched softly at the sight of her sprawled on my bed, asleep. She looked too pure to be in here. Her lush bl

He had only been gone for a day and I was already missing him. It made me realize how dependent I had gotten on him, and how I was now used to his company. We've never stayed away from each other for more than a day since we got married and now, he was gone for a day and he wasn't going to be back till in three days.I could go downstairs to chat with Mrs Stephanie Mckenzie but I didn't want to risk that, I didn't want to risk running into Frederick because I knew he was also around. Since what happened the other day, I've been trying to steer clear of him, I've been trying to avoid him.I could handle my feelings for him, I could control them and keep them at bay and hide it away from everyone because I loved my husband and I wasn't supposed to develop feelings f

    DARLENEHe stood at the other side of the door and his lips stretched into that contagious smile of his when his eyes fell on me.I wasn't sharing any of his excitement, not when his mere presence was already wreaking havoc on my body and his smile was already sending a wave of desire to the wrong parts of my body.Not when my heart was already beating faster.His eyes moved away from my face and it dipped lower to the excuse of a nightgown that I had on. I watched as his eyes became hooded at the sight of my exposed cleavage, how his eyes lingered on them with clear lust in them."What are you doing here?" I snapped at him, angry at him, angry at the fact that he was looking at me that way, and angry at myself for feeling a low fire getting rekindled in my lower abdomen because he was looking at me that way.He looked up at my angry tone, the smile disappearing from his face as he looked at me carefully as if he was trying to figure out something about me or my mood."I was retiring

    DARLENE“So, let me get this straight,” Laura said from the side of the chair that was sitting on, “you kissed your brother-in-law?”I groaned out loud and I rubbed my face, “can we just refer to him as Frederick?”“What difference does it make whether we refer to him as Frederick or your brother-in-law? The bone of contention here is that you kissed him, that you made out with him?”“Come on, Laura, I didn't come here for you to spell it out for me, I already know what I did.”It was the day after the kiss with Frederick, I couldn't sleep all night and I just kept tossing and turning all night with the memories of the kiss and make-out plunging my mind.I had enjoyed it, to my greatest dismay.And my mind wouldn’t stop comparing Frederick’s kiss with Alex’s own. I enjoyed both of them, enjoyed Frederick’s kiss just as much as I enjoyed Alex’s own and that was the problem.This was Frederick that we were talking about, my brother-in-law, I wasn’t supposed to entertain the thought of k

Breakfast’s ready!” Prince Charles’ booming baritone cracked through my skull before a wash of yellow light bored through my closed eyelids so that I groaned, breaking into a chuckle when Alexander groaned beside me.“Fucking hell Charles, did your parents not teach you to knock?” My husband hissed, throwing the soft white duvet away from his hard body and stretching to his feet to snatch the coffee mug the purple-eyed man held out like a peace offering in one hand, his gaze sliding over to me and darkening a shade before he smirked.“I don't believe they did,” He whispered breathlessly, nodding his head to the door where the strawberry blonde-haired man was leaning against the doorframe in brown capri pants, a pearly grin stretched across his smooth face.“Have some decency Frederick, my wife’s in the room,” Alexander whispered, scoffing loudly and sipping his tea as I stretched a yawn and shimmyed away from the bed to rest my head on my husband’

    FREDERICK“Die motherfucker,” I gritted, pressing my finger into the claw of the trigger and feeling the gun jerk in my hands, the impact pulling me forward so that I tumbled into the stone flooring.“Come on! Go go go!” I screamed through gritted teeth, waving my hands wildly at Darlene and pushing her around the car as she surged through the barrage of shots pummeling us and firing off a few more rounds as the Umbrella man roared with pain, tearing the knife from his eye with an impossibly loud sucking sound.“I need to get closer,” I hissed through my teeth as I rounded the bend of the car to meet Alwxander’s tense body where he was hunched, hiding from the rain of bullets with Darlene curled in his arms.I swallowed the bile that had risen in my throat, jabbing my fingers into my palms to battle the wooziness that stabbed the sides of my head and peering through the rim of black sedan to see that the man now had a gaping hole in one eye that still spurted blood as he glared around

    DARLENE“Something’s wrong,” I whispered breathlessly, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight as I watched the man with the Jerry curls stride away from the large lattice silver gates, a gun held tightly in his right hand.“What the fuck do you mean something’s wrong? McCoy’s going with most of his men! This is our cue to go in, grab the twins, plant the bombs, and hightail the fuck out of here in time for Mrs. McKenzie’s dinner special,” Erwin snapped blithely from his crouch beside me, the rim of a sniper rifle held tightly in his hands, as he peered through the scope.“Lassie’s right, this seems too easy, they must have found out about the decoy car approaching already, that's the only reason for him to leave...and yet,” Williams McKenzie growled on my right flank, raising the tight hulk of his frame into a low squat and inching to slap himself against the tree, the burnt orange blackness of the forest blending perfectly with our camo gear.“We should-” Erwin start

    ALEXANDERThe bright fluorescent lights tore through my eyelids to fry my eyeballs before I had even opened my eyes. I groaned, the soreness in my arms and stiff legs making me groan louder as I let my head fall back into my chest.What the hell did the bastard hit me with? Fucking hulk?“Ugh!” I groaned, screwing one eye open to lock gazes with my brother’s blanched face and watching him sag with relief when he saw that I had opened my eyes.“Alexander? Fuck! Thank saints you're okay,” He rasped breathlessly and I felt the scowl deepen between my eyebrows as I glared at the swollen purple bruises on his face that had left the skin of his face puffy and red.“Your buddy didn't take too kindly to you I reckon, stabbed you in the fucking balls just like you did to me you piece of shit!” I barked acidly, watching my brother rear back on the chair that he was strapped to like he had been slapped.I looked down to see I was lying on some makeshift gurney table, feeling my heart pound wildl

    DARLENE“Where is he? Where’s my husband?” I whizzed when I caught up to the ring chief scowling in the middle of the road, his hands fixed patiently on his narrow hips.“He’s gone Dar, that McCoy took him,” Prince Charles gritted, eyeing me carefully before I noticed his hand cupping the large gash on his chest, the trickle of blood pooling on the purple suit staining the area black.“Here, let’s get you to the car,” I gritted through clenched teeth, managing to push the words past the lump that had grown in my throat and tugging the man’s hand free when he resisted before hooking it over one shoulder, grunting when he leaned his weight on me a little.I could hear the whirl of sirens in the distance as they got closer and I yelped, slamming to a stop when the purple-eyed man stopped suddenly in his tracks.What the hell was it with mafia men and having death wishes? I tried not to look at the nasty knife wound on his abdomen or the purple and red bruises on his chin and focused inst

    FREDERICK“Did you have to do it that hard?” I whispered, feeling tears gather in my eyes as I watched the Umbrella Man tower over my brother’s limp body, his brown eyes almost luminescent in the dark.“Quiet Frederick, you're ruining my groove, take him.” Stefan McCoy growled and I felt my heart hammer in my ribs as the masked ninjas dropped from the trees like banana monkeys, hooking my brother’s hard body onto the stretcher as I watched on with widened eyes.“Is he dead?” I rasped breathlessly, feeling panic burn in my chest as I trotted after the men, the crunch of dried leaves under my feet sounding loud in the silence as the masked men marched my brother to the large white van that had been parked off to the side of the highway.“Not yet,“ The Umbrella man whispered, rubbing his hands together in glee as they loaded him into the van and I felt a flicker of doubt spark in my chest.“So it’s all good now right? Everything will go as planned now?” I coughed, scarcely trusting mysel

    ALEXANDERIt took longer than I would have liked for my eyes to adjust to the near blackness as I entered the forest.“Where are you? You son of a bitch,” I ground through clenched teeth, waving the gun this way and that and aware of the way I was panting loudly, carefully placing one foot in front of the other.My arms were starting to get sore from holding the gun up and high, my knuckles white on the trigger as I crept along the line of trees, freezing when I thought I had heard the distinct sound of a tree branch snapping.Could this get any fucking worse? Did the motherfucker have to pick the shittiest forest in the whole of New York to make his dramatic comeback?“Go on and run away like the coward that you fucking are McCoy, I can smell that cheap perfume from a mile away,” I jeered loudly, feeling goosebumps rise on my skin when my distorted voice echoed back to me in the blackness.I tried to focus past the hum that had started in my ears but my mind was not following my eyes
