JULIUS’S POV~Why is she so afraid of me?I watched her quiver endlessly in fear, her eyes searching the entire room for likely danger. “Ariana! What the hell are you saying?” I inquired, my eyes searching the room for insubordination among my guards.“Sir?” one of them started, “Take him away!” I heard her say. I was completely shocked, an hour ago I was on a mission to hijack a fucking plane and now for some reason, im standing on trial. “They can't do that Ariana, without cause!” I exclaimed putting my gun down, I moved towards her and she shot her pistol, it landed a few inches close to me, penetrating the bookshelf. “As long as I hold the authority, I have every right to hold you, seize him! Take him down and Chain him up!” she cried, her voice filled with fear.The guards were confused, but after my quick nod, they went ahead. Something was scaring her and it was obvious that I had been framed for something or someone. I let them take me downstairs where I was chained again
ARIANA’s pov~I found myself bound to the floor as I screamed helplessly, the guards soon came running in and in no time I was released from my binds.That fucking rat!Who was I back there, I was going to kill him! What am I becoming? This world is turning me into a person I can barely recognise. I can feel Cayenne emerging, slowly but surely. I can't believe Julius has been the mole all this time, I thought of Mateo, unconscious in the hospital the mole on the loose!“Take me to the hospital right now!” I thundered, the guards were all in dishevel, there had been a shift in power and with Julius gone I commanded all of it. Soon I was at the hospital, it had been almost a full day and he was still in surgery, I called for Doctor Alonzo, to explain the situation of things, while on the lookout for Julius.I battled with the thought of telling Mateo that his trusted right hand had been working for our father all this while. It may break his heart, but that wasn't the priority i need
ARIANA’S POV~Stupid!God Ariana!, you are so stupid! You were supposed to get some fucking proof, and now he knows im unto him. Typical of me, always running into danger head first without thinking. My mind was unwinding, I had so much to do all at once, my sister in the air flying to who knows where! My brother hiding from his father.And a dickless soon-to-be walking husband.It's a lot and it's taking a toll on me, the only one who has stuck by me in all this craziness is you. You, my dear girl, have not left my side, im grateful for you.I gave my belly a little rub.I needed answers, if Julius was working for my papa, I needed to know what else he knew. Either that or I have to kill him, he knows everything about Mateo. And he could destroy him.I needed to get home fast and take a long bath, I beckoned to the driver to take me back to the residence. I missed the old one, the beautiful gardens, the aesthetics of it were amazing and if I wasn't so busy with Mateo's mess I'd
JULIUS’S POV~I know why he set me up, he killed my brother. Vincenzo killed my brother, I had my suspicions but I hadn't dared to imagine that his dear friend would off him like that. I warned Lorenzo that morning, but he wouldn't listen. He wanted to prove to the others that he and his wife’s former fiance could still conduct business. Someone is working from the shadows. Someone is making me look bad in Ariana’s eyes, someone wants me out of the way but for what?I had an anonymous tip, but I knew it was my nephew Giovanni.Trying to right his wrongs, but he was too late, I could never forgive him. Not until he offered to be bait. “What if she doesn't come?” I inquired looking at him with intent, checking to see how his eyes stood as he lay. “You need to trust me, uncle, I told you I've got nothing to lose” he replied.I didnt trust him one bit and I never would, he fucked up.But I needed help and he was the one I trusted enough to not sell me out, he owed me his loyalty. I
ARIANA’S POV~ “I regret sending you off to Malta, my peers warned against it but I was tired of seeing your ungrateful ass,” my father started his tone a clear line between disgust and hate. “Mateo has nothing to do with this, I took them, your deal is with me, let him go” I exclaimed loudly. “Careful or you will hurt the baby, speaking of babies I believe you have two of mine” he smiled. “Right now we are moving your darling husband to a private facility, I'll send you a location meet me there,” he said. I panicked, “Papa he just came out of surgery Don't do this!” I cried.“Don't forget im still his father, of course, I can take him wherever I want, Be at the location in 3 hours,” with that, he hung up, leaving me anxious on the bathroom floor. Tears streamed down my face endlessly as the loneliness of my choices enveloped me. I had no one to help me through this, no advisers no friends. I thought of Fiona, I missed her cherry smile.I couldn't drag her into all this, I can't
ARIANA’S POV~ I have betrayed my promise to Serena for a man that barely knows who I am. Sent my brother back to a miserable existence for a man who doesn't love me. Who have I become? This dangerous life? What am I becoming?I watched my father confirm from the second man if I had kept my end of the bargain. He nodded in satisfaction and my father smiled. “Good” he started before seeking assistance to get up from where he sat beside Mateo. As he stepped out of the door, I ran to my husband’s side, “Mateo are you okay?” I asked, “yeah” he replied slowly. “And Ariana” he started, “welcome to the mafia life” he laughed.“Kill them, make it eventful, like Romeo and Juliet” he finished, I froze in horror as the first man with the gun raised his hand to my face, I started to tremble in fear as I held on to Mateo.I could hear my father laughing away as he went, “Stupid girl” I heard him say. The gunman raised the gun higher and higher until it was over my head, he grinned and then i
ARIANA’S POV~ With a heavy heart, I got up and walked down the stairs gloomy, a heavy cloud of sadness rained over me as I stepped out into the gardens, washing the blood heavy from my hands. I've subjected my siblings to their death. The rain started a while ago but now it looks like it is getting stronger. I thought of Julius, how I've wronged him and fresh tears streamed down my face. I have to find a way to make it right. “Signora” I heard before I saw an umbrella cover over my head. “Maam we have the last location Julius was, it's an hour away from here” he started, I turned almost immediately, “good, take me there” I replied.“Maam you are wet, you will catch a cold or worse…” “I didnt make you caporegime to care about my health, i put you there because I needed a right hand and not a nanny,” I said, interrupting him. “Of course, im sorry ma'am” he pleaded before leading me to the SUV. As we drove I shivered, I deserved to be punished, this was my penance. Soon after we
ARIANA’S POV~I couldn't sleep all night, I was deeply troubled, what kind of game had I entered? And now, im at the centre of it. Barely three months ago I was ignorant of all this, and now I can't see a way of escaping from this nightmare. I turned in my bed and the view of my window came to light, I could see the fullness of the moon and I was pulled to it.I got out of bed and moved towards the window, I leaned against it and memories of my first night with Mateo were all I could picture in my mind's eye. I missed him, in all this chaos, his absence made the loudest noise. I sighed as I relived the way he touched me, the way his body moved over mine as he thrust deeper into me.The way he would growl in my ears when he was about to devour me. I could see his primate urge to take me right there in his eyes and I'd never been wanted so badly by a man before, it left me imprinted on him, and now it has led me to my doom. I sighed again before I turned to walk toward the stairs.
ARIANA’S POV~Mateo coming back has been a blessing, he left his life behind and he now lives with us on the island.But something kept bothering him, “Mateo what’s going on with you?” I asked handing him a cup of cocoa.Alessio came running in and he sat on his father’s knee, “papa ball” he requested.“Soon my boy” Mateo giggled excitedly,He finally told me everything, everything that weighed heavy in his heart, everything about his parent's death, to Becky’s revenge and what they were after.“He adopted me to find out if I had a key in my possession and I think it's the same key Fiona handed you the day of the shower” he concluded.“The key?”I hadn't thought about the key in so long, I'd kept it away, and it had bad memories attached to it.I got up and went in, it should be along my things.As I did I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, only it wasn't me.She grinned from ear to ear as she motioned for me to come closer, and I did.“Cayenne” I started.“We finally meet, did
MATEO'S POV~The last thing I remembered was a gunshot piercing me before I landed on the ground, I awoke on a bed, I blinked and I felt a wet towel going over my hot body.I tried to get up, “Mateo, stop you need to rest” she started, i opened my eyes.“Micola?” I called, she smiled and took my hand in hers, “yes it's me, you sustained a serious gun wound” she stated, I winced in pain, and I tried to find the source.“At this point, I might as well be studied” I joked as I sat up.I coughed and blood followed.“Your lungs were affected, the doctors said you would have to cough out the rest of the clumps when you wake up, are you okay?” she announced.I nodded, “I'll be fine” She helped me sit straight on the bed rest and put a glass of water in my hand.I gulped it down in one go and gave it back to her, “micola” I started, she dropped the cup and looked away.“I'm sorry about the way we ended things, I just… it's different now. With everything, with…”“I get it” she interrupted, “yo
ARIANA’S POV~Don Argento couldn't believe it, his son was before him, he ignored his wife and daughter, slowly he walked toward Silvio who welcomed him.“I'm afraid I can't do that, Silvio, but I should start by welcoming you back from the dead” I applauded his bravery, I didn't care if I was a one-man army right now.“That deal should never have happened,” he continued.“No deal Silvio, I'm not selling my wife to you, I hate to break it to you but there’s bad news my friend” Mateo stated.My mind was made up after last night, there was no hope that he would ever change.He is always going to remain a beast, and now Silvio is back, from the dead.My hunch was right after all, and from the look on my proud father’s face, I could tell he was in on this. “Mateo, im asking you nicely, I have you surrounded, you should not have touched what was mine, you knew it and you did it anyways” Silvio flared.Mateo laughed, “she was never yours and she never will” Mateo boasted.His haughtiness i
ARIANA’S POV~The night of the party finally arrived, micola had dropped her resignation that morning and an air of dread lingered around it.We never found Estella, somehow Emiliano had sneaked her out, along with my father’s written will.I shuddered under the weight, Scared to face the unknown.Im not going to let everything I've lived for go down the drain, because I was so distracted.I had to keep up the pretences with Ariana. The only ones who knew about it were the three of us.Three of u except Fiona... I have to find her before she tells someone else, I always knew she would turn on her in the end, she’s a woman after all.I wondered what happened, but that wasn't important right now.I headed upstairs, a box in my hand, to the room I once shared with Ariana, I opened the door and there she stood by the window.She rubbed her curved belly and I could her muttering to herself before she acknowledged her presence.A child I'd been looking forward to calling mine, my heir… all
MATEO’S POV~I saw micola on the way back to my office, I knew Julius had left earlier so I motioned for her to join me.As he closed the door to my office I pulled her to me and devoured her hungry lips with a kiss.She gasped for breath as she held on to me for balance, I let her go and started to take off my clothes.“I see Don Mateo is back” She grinned from ear to ear, her eyes looking sinister.“Take your clothes off” I growled, throwing my clothes into a corner, “oh now you want me?” she teased.“Take it off” I repeated, this time I walked towards her, then grabbed her, threw her against my desk and perked her ass up.I spanked her violently, just the way she liked it, then I dug my nails into her neck, I drew blood and she moaned in pleasure.“Yes this is the Mateo I've been craving” she moaned loudly.I ripped my belt off and soon my pants had dropped, I rammed my hard dick inside her, she was already wet from the violence that is her life.“Yes” she moaned as she sniffled in
ARIANA’S POV~“You shouldn't be here Enzo please leave” I pleaded, but he wouldn't leave, he walked up to me and soon his mouth was ravenously devouring mine.I pushed him off me and slapped him, “What the hell is wrong with you!” I exclaimed angrily.“Ariana, I can't stop thinking about you, never have, never will, and now you are carrying my baby, I just can't stay away from you cayenne..” he moaned kissing my hands.“Enzo you need to stop this, if Mateo finds out about this, he will kill us, he won't care if we once knew each other” my anxious voice gave me away as I shuddered from the thought of Mateo’s wrath. “we need to find a way to escape from here not this!” He groaned in frustration, “Mateo! Mateo! Mateo! Ariana, it's always about Mateo, what about us, what we had!” he exclaimed angrily.“It wasn't real, it was just a week!

MATEO’S POV~I should listen to the tape.But not until I prove to Ariana that I can be the man she wants me to be.“Is everything set?” I inquired looking around the beautifully decorated room, I smiled to myself.Proud of my accomplishment, today I will throw my wife a surprise baby shower.I sent out invitations to the people I could, but I couldn't get a hold of her stepmother and sister.The best I could do was Micola, and a few of her friends, Estella, and some maids.It's the thought that counts right?“Yes sir, all we have to do now is wait to surprise her” the maids giggled with glee.I spent no expense on the lavishness of this party.“She just pulled into the driveway sir” one of the guards reported, “good, places everyone!” I yelled and everyone hid.Micola was physically annoyed and she wouldn't hide, something was going on with her and Julius and she wouldn't tell me.I didnt bother to ask, soon the doors opened, and Ariana and Enzo stepped in, they were engaged in a hea
ENZO’S POV~Her lips parted to welcome me into her warmness. It was just like magic how Fiona suddenly appeared when I thought precisely of her. That moment we had in the tunnels, the image of Ariana flashed in my mind, and I couldn't stop thinking about her.Not when I thought she was back in Malta waiting for me.I pulled up her shirt, “what the hell! We are right in the hallway!” she yelled before pushing me off her.Then she slapped me hard across the face and I clenched my jaws. “what the hell do you think you are doing? Where the hell is the tape you stole you asshole!” she exclaimed angrily.I didnt care about any of that, I just wanted to devour her.As she complained about my lack of human compassion I noticed a nurse come out of an empty room.I grabbed Fiona and pulled her towards it, “Hey! Let go!” I opened the door and a nurse was inside folding the sheets.Two other people were in the room, they were in tears and it irritated me.“Everyone get the fuck out!” I thundered
Ariana’s pov~“Ariana, what the hell is going on here? Two babies? When did this happen? Who the hell are Donors A and B?” she questioned nonstop, and my mind was reeling.My world, everything I've come to know about myself is over.It's been Cayenne pregnant All this while, a sister I thought I made up in my head truly exists….I'd been admitted for observation, the doctor wouldn't let me leave and I begged her not to call Mateo.She was honoured to thank Fully,“It's a whole lot, Fiona, I met a guy before I came back to Italy,” I started.“The waiter?”“Yeah, he is the father of the baby,” I confessed.“You fucked him?” she exclaimed in shock.“I didn't, Cayenne did? How do I explain this to Mateo Fiona?” I shrieked, my hands sweating with anxiety.“Shit!” she cursed, “the last time he thought I had an affair he killed him, without a moment’s thought. I'm living with a total maniac” I continued, my voice shaky.“Mateo, he is not a kind man Fiona, he is crazy and obsessed with me, h
