Ariana’s pov~Slowly I opened my eyes, the stinging pain was gone in place of terror loomed as I saw the blurred figure of two men standing over me, I was on my bed at the dukedom, and I felt something attached to my arm, slowly I brought my hand to touch it, I felt like a cusp, then I heard it, the sound of a hospital monitor, bringing me back to reality, then it hit me, I slumped again. I blinked and my vision became clearer, the duchess was sitting on the bed with me a look of worry on her beautiful victorian powdered face, she had a stethoscope over my heart as she listened to the earpieces intently, she also checked my palms and my eyes.“She needs blood, you said she has lost a lot of blood? She’s anaemic, which of you thought was a grand idea to bring a sick woman to a parley?, she needs to be in the hospital” the Duchess thundered, her tone changed into a deeper one. It made me curious. Who is this funny-dressed woman and why do these men respect her, I've never met anyone w
Ariana’s pov~There was a fierce battle raging on endlessly in my mind. Silvio has set a trap for Mateo. How do I tell the father of my child that his enemy has laid a trapdoor in front of him? I tried to lift my arm but I felt limp, my eyes felt like they wouldn't stop turning. I heard the door to my room creak, I gathered energy in me to open my eyes, but I could only see enough to know Mateo had crossed into my room. I heard my blood pressure monitor sing. “Ariana” I heard him call quietly, I tried to open my mouth but I couldn't, I heard him walk over to where I lay, “Ariana,” he called again, seconds later I felt a warm touch on my arm, I felt my skin tingle in response and I shivered, “see how you are shaking under my touch, you must have missed me” he started, I felt his hot raspy breathe close to my neck as he added, “don't worry, I'll take you back home soon bambino and give you all the good dick you have been missing” he withdrew himself, then he continued to tr
Mateo’s pov~ Silvio ran and grabbed her arm and quickly put it down before anyone else could notice, “ Ariana are you okay, we saw all the messed up things he said, he touched you when he shouldn't,” he said pitifully, I was dumbfounded, what exactly is this newfound fuckery and whose idea was it. I looked at the three people who just flew in like I had just slit the throat of the royal prince of England. “Silvio what kind of cowardly sick cunt are you, couldn't even take her from me like a man, are you that afraid of me” he snickered. “afraid of you? I assure you it was an honest intention” he snickered, He got up and I quickly glanced at Ariana, but she was deep in sleep again, what did this sick bastard do to her?“What the fuck did you do to her, she told me you put a fucking camera in the room, are you that obsessed with what I own Silvio?” I asked I glared at him, his presence disgusted me and intrigued me at the same time, he is my venom as I am his poison, and to say his
DON VINCENZO’S POV~“It wasn't always like this, but this generation mafia's birth ruined the brotherhood's real meaning and the greatness of the old ways. You have all softened over time you have never felt the sweetness, the raw power of the mafia, now everyone is a fucking rat, greedy bastard’s everywhere, the mafia where I was a young boy is what I will instil in Tomas but the bitches I married and bore are hell-bent on making my boy! My only boy! Turn soft. Women have always been owned either by their fathers’ husbands or sons! they are beneath us, as they should be!” I paused and licked my lips, nostalgia hit me and I leaned a little more on my cane. Giving this bitch my blood might just kill her and that bastard she carried, she has disgraced me among my peers, they snicker when I walk by, and they say I cannot put my house in order. “In my time it was different, we got betrothed before we were born, and I have been betrothed to Isabella Bernardi, Don Mateo Bernadi’s second
DON RINALDI’S POV~“How can a woman I've known all my life? not be… what are you saying, there are pictures, raw evidence of my birth, my father he is a weird man I know, he watches it almost every night, so I know that she is my fucking mother” Silvio interjected.“That’s not Liana Bianchi, that’s her mother’s other daughter, her half-sister, the impure one, she had to marry your father in her place if anyone ever finds out that she’s not the real Bianchi that was promised, your legitimacy as a true Argento will be in question. some have noticed how your eyes don't match his the way your sisters does. the streets talk, they say you don't look like him, this information must never leave this room for your own sake,” I said, I looked at him before glancing at the confused Mateo and back to him, luckily it seems he understood my gesture, he turned to Mateo, and back to me.“you are trying to play games here don Rinaldi, I know you, I know how you move, you are a snake, you want to distra
ARIANA’S POV~I didn't know what happened after the lights went off, but when I woke up I was back in the hotel room, I sat up and that was when I noticed Silvio standing in the room with flowers in his hand, he dropped them by me on the bed and smiled.“ Your marriage with Mateo is getting annulled as we speak,” he said. The last thing I remembered was waking up to the sound of a bullet and Mateo sprawled out on the floor. “You killed him, you killed Mateo!” I cried as the memory kept flooding in,.“I don't want to be with you,” I retorted as tears poured down my eyes. I can't believe Mateo is dead. “I told you, only one of us comes out Alive, and I knew it would be me, I never doubted it for a second,” he said proudly. “Mateo was just a power-hungry bastard, but with this,” he paused touching my belly lightly “I'll get it right, he will never know his blood is tainted with a diseased lineage, he will be an Argento, a better Argento” he finished, I shook my head in protest.
Ariana’s pov~ The hotel uniform fit so well you would think I'd been working here for a long time, it was perfectly undetectable as Aleid led me through the unsuspecting crowd. It was exciting, exhilarating, and freeing as I took one bold step after another, but still, I was wary of Silvio’s lurking guards. The hotel lobby was bustling and everyone minded their business, thankfully moving past them was a success, and moments later we were inside Aleid’s car, I got in the back and hid and off we went. I looked back at the hotel as the beautiful gates closed behind us, free at last! I touched my belly lightly, and I felt a mild flutter. “Yes my love, we are free at last,” I said under my breath, I saw Aleid smile in the mirror. “I can't thank you enough, Aleid,” I said touching her shoulder lightly, “Well now I can't show my face here again, your husband is going to know it's me, I have made plans to also leave with my daughter today,” she said, I nodded my head in understanding.
Ariana’s pov~“We sent a message to her husband at the hotel, he is going to call back anytime now for his favourite thing back” Aleid smiled kissing Lance again, lance was a big man who looked like he had been working out all his life, I didn't see the appeal he looked like he could burst any moment from all the steroids he takes. “Lance baby, I feel bad, I've been a bad girl” Aleid started lowering her tone and making cooing sounds. Sounds that irritated and turned my belly. He spanked her ass and turned her to her back, the way he spun her reminded me of Mateo, that night, the way his finger slid into me like they always belonged there. I instantly felt moist and I tightened my thighs. “Oh look, I think pregnant Miss Ariana likes it too,” Aleid laughed, rubbing her ass on Lance's hard dick. “Spank it again baby” she cooed again and bit her lips, Lance turned her to face me and then he spanked her ass again. “Should we let her watch?” he asked teasingly as he bit Aleid ear,
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

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! One week Enzo, it wasn't love!” I tried to make things clear to him but his incessant insisting that we were madly in love was starting to reach peak lu
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
