Mirabella's PovIf someone had told me that three days was enough time for this level of improvement Iโd have literally strangled them, but itโs true. Iโm glowing, my skin has come alive and my scars are almost non-existent because Matteo made sure to make available the best dermatologist and nutritionist just so they can help get me up and going.Get my skin healthy and everything in between.Iโm so grateful for him, because throughout today, Iโve been in a good place. For the first time, I donโt actually regret being married to him but I fear for him. Itโs been three days since he left here in anger and he hasnโt shown up nor has he called to say that heโs okay.Although thereโs been a few rumors around the estate today that he attacked the consigliereโs mansion, still, I doubt the authenticity of that information.Matteo cannot put his position on the line at least not for me.Itโs almost nine p.m and since I can no longer sit around, waiting for someone who might not want to come
Matteo's Pov Iโm kneeling between Mirabellaโs thighs as I drink up her naked body. The naked body that has me imagining animalistic things, the naked body that has me about to make a mistake Iโm sure will regret in no distant time. But for this perfect body, Iโm willing to make mistakes for the rest of my life. Her wetness is glistening and making her little rosy pussy shine incredibly. Fuck. Like I said, it gets better and better. Her feel on my fingers was amazing and her taste was immaculate. She was right when she said her pussy feels like a portal, because Iโm definitely being sucked in and Iโve just been in her with my fingers. โMatteo?โ She calls out to me in a questioning manner as she attempts taking off her blindfold but I canโt let her do that. She has me fumbling already and if Iโm to look into those dangerous orbs of hers whilst I fuck her, I know Iโll be finished. Theyโll be no going back. โLeave it!โ I command. I lean down, holding my weight off with my elbows. My
Mirabella's PovAm I dreaming?Just a few minutes after that amazing session with my husband and his bulge is pushing into me from behind. Heโs throbbing and Iโm left to wonder how much stamina this man has.โAre you good to go again?โ He asks breathily and my body stiffens. I want to go again but Iโm scared that Iโll be too sore by the time heโs done with me because this man is huge through and through and itโs a miracle that Iโm not passed out at this point.โWhat?โ I murmur my question.โAre you good to go again?โ This time it feels more like a statement than a question and I gulp.The sudden need to satisfy him engulfs me.โB-but you just came.โโIโm not a one and done kind of man.โ He blows out hot breaths against my back and his hips buckle into me. โItโs not a difficult question, Mirabella, itโs either a yes or a no. No pressure,โ he quickly adds.โI-I. . .โโAre you sore?โ He questions.โA little.โWhom am I deceiving?โDo you want me to go again? because believe me, Mirabella
Matteo's Pov No one couldโve prepared me for that incredibly amazing night I had with my wife. I think Iโm high on pussy. Never in my life have I imagined or experienced such heightened pleasure and now Iโm obsessed. Iโm fucking obsessed with my wifeโs pussy and I donโt plan on letting her go just yet. Last night after she had slept, I cleaned her up, changed the sheets, put her into comfortable clothesโmy shirt, got her into bed, and sat on the cushion, watching in awe while she slept. And yes, I did in fact keep the sheets just like I had said to her. I want to be able to have something that reminds me of the best night of my life. I watched her as she slept peacefully and I must confess, I did in fact sleep off at some point and for the first time in forever, I slept and woke up without the nightmares and thatโs how I know sheโs my one. Sheโs the breakthrough Iโve been searching for. And the best part is that throughout the night, she didnโt wake up in panic and that means she
Mirabella's PovAfter days of restlessly awaiting Matteo's return, I was finally informed that he had returned earlier this morning but it saddens me that he hasn't cared to come and see me.I had gotten impatient earlier and went to his office but the guards refused letting me in. They confirmed that Matteo gave strict orders not to let anyone in even if that person were to be me.So here I am, standing beneath the shower and letting the slightly warm water run down my body as I curse myself out for thinking that my sexual encounter with my husband would somehow better our relationship.I mean he did say he wanted to fuck me, but he never said anything about it being a continuous occurrence.I guess I expected too much.But as a human, and a woman with a lot of insecurities, I've degraded myself a lot. Even convinced myself that I'm not good enough for him. Maybe his moans and grunts and words of encouragement the other night had been due to the heat of the moment.How can a person l
Mirabella's PovIf someone had told me four months ago that Iโd somehow find common ground with my husband and make my marriage work, Iโd have slapped them across the face but itโs the reality.Itโs fucking real and itโs amazing.My marriage has been running smoothly and Iโve become so happy with my life as it is. Matteo makes me extremely happy and he doesnโt even realize it.Itโs not just the sex, itโs so much more. The gifts, the after care, the kind words, the soft gaze, the forehead kisses and the sex; itโs so fucking amazing. We might lie to each other and say that our relationship is nothing more than a husband and a wife consummating their marriage but we know deep down that it has become so much more.โMirabella,โ My personal maidโGarciaโs voice snaps me out of my fantasy world and my eyes widen at how much food Iโve consumed so far without even knowing it.โWhat Garcia,โ I glare at her when I see the look in her eyes. The look that says she wants to say something but doesnโt
Mirabella's PovFew minutes after father left and my ears pick up on hushed whispers by a far corner. โHello?โ I begin approaching the part where the voices came from but thereโs no answer.I ignore my head voice screaming at me not to go any further and continue taking calculated steps forward until I find about four men standing in a corner and making an exchange.Iโd run but one of the men seems familiar and that relaxes me. โLex? What are you doing out here?โ His eyes widen and he gulps down on nothing, causing my brows to furrow at his sudden discomfort on seeing me.โWhat are you doing here maโam? How do you recognize me?โ His voice comes off nervous and I chuckle.โIโve seen you around the house many times, especially with Pablo. Pablo speaks highly of you a whole lot.โThe sudden silence that ensues sends cold shivers down my spine. I see fear in Lexโs eyes but in the other menโs eyes, I see danger. โYou should not have come out here,โ Lexโs voice comes out in a monotone and h
Matteo's PovI know, I always find a way to fuck things up.But itโs not that I love messing things up, itโs just my fears. I allow fear rule me and ruin things for me.Itโs just out of my control.Earlier today, I had returned home a bit early and decided to go straight into my wifeโs room. But on getting inside the room, I heard whimpering coming from the washroom and when I listened in properly, I discovered that Mirabella was crying.It broke my heart but I didnโt have it in me to walk into that washroom and ask her what her reason for crying was.You see, Iโm not so good with all these emotions and all the baggages that comes with it.Iโd left the room because I thought it wise to give her some privacy just in case she wouldnโt want me to see her in her time of weakness.I gave it a few more hours until it was the early hours of the night before walking back into our room. But she was still in the washroom and it concerned me how long sheโd been crying for.โHow do I tell him abo
Alejandroโs PovThis anxietyโIโve never felt anything like it before. My nerves are all over the place, my skin trembling. I kiss Mariana again for the millionth time in a handful of hours.She smiles at me. The smile is distant, almost like it doesnโt reach her eyes. I smile back and pull her closer, holding her as tight as I can, fearful that this might be the last chance I get at holding her this close to me.And no, this has nothing to do with her winning the fight or dying in that cage because as long as I breathe, Mariana will walk out of that cage alive and well.But Iโm afraid of the responsibilities that come with the position sheโll occupy. Iโm afraid that she might forget our love and become intoxicated with power.All of this might just happen in a few hours.โThe way youโre holding me, Alejandro, one might think Iโm about to die from a terminal disease.โShe says.Is she trying to make a joke? Does this seem like a joke to her?I open my mouth to speak but a knock on the
Marianaโs PovโI will fight in her place. . .โThe world around me goes completely silent the moment Alejandro blurts those words. When I planned to use him as my human shield in chaotic times like this, I didnโt expect to fall for him so ridiculously hard that Iโm unable to imagine him getting hurt for my sake.Love is a strange and terrifying thing. I never imagined feeling it this deeply, this intensely. Not for Alejandro. Not for a man who was supposed to be my shield, my weapon. And now, the very thought of him stepping into that cage for meโฆ itโs unbearable.The second reason?Itโs pride. Itโs survival. These men already think Iโm weak. They see me as nothing but a womanโRadimrโs wife and mother of his son. If Alejandro steps into that cage in my stead, I will be proving them right, I will become that which they think I am.Weak.Unworthy.And then, everything Iโve clawed my way toward will crumble before my eyes. I canโt let that happen. I wonโt let that happen. So, no. Aleja
Marianaโs PovOne word.Fuckers.No, letโs make it two words.Misogynistic fuckers.Theyโve kept me in here for hours, scrutinizing me, digging into my soul in their fruitless attempt at finding the truth of what truly happened to my husband.Alejandro too is seated here as a high ranking made man and a member of this family. Surprisingly, my father, mother and brother are here too. Not inside the parliament room, but theyโre right outside the door, waiting for when the chaos escalates so they can stand in for me.It warms my heart.โLetโs go through it again,โ one of the elders says, โwhat did you say happen to your husband? Tell us that story again, in detail.โโI. . .โ I open my mouth to speak but Alejandroโs thick, aggravated voice resounds, cutting me short. โI believe she has told that story more times than we all can count.โโYes, we know that,โ another elder says, his russian accent thick. โBut we need to hear it again.โโWhy?โ Alejandro asks, โwhy are you poking a woman wh
Alejandroโs PovDonโt sleep tonight.Iโve thought about those words in every way possible, imagined every possible scenario thatโll make Mariana ask me to stay awake tonight, and yet, Iโve found none.Or maybe I havenโt thought about it as deeply as I should.I wanted to hold her, to ask her more, but the presence of her husband made that impossible. And now, hours have ticked by, and Iโm still unable to get my answers.Waitโis tonight the night? Is her plan unfolding tonight?Truth is, I donโt even know what her plan is, but I strongly suspect it has everything to do with ending Radimr. So, if sheโs asked me to stay awake tonight, it might mean she needs me close.I pull open my roomโs door and step out into the hallway. The manor is too quiet. Everyone is asleep, and those who arenโt are standing guard outside of the house.My stomach twists with a warning that chaos is brewing tonight, but I push it aside and start walking. I make a turn towards the stairs and start moving up the s
Marianaโs PovTime flies when happiness fills your days.Itโs been two months since I gave birth to my Angel. Two months since my heart swelled with love so pure and overwhelming, I thought I might drown in it.I love my son.I love him for coming into my life and unraveling a part of me I never knew existed. For being my light in the darkness.But most of all, I love him for arriving exactly when I needed himโas though sent by the universe itself to give me a way out.Because today, after weeks of persuasion, my husband has finally done what Iโve been waiting for. He has presented my son to the elders of his family, naming him as his successor should anything happen to him.Itโs tradition, a ritual of power. To the outside world, itโs a declaration of legacy. To me, itโs the final piece of the puzzle.I know Angel is too young to be entangled in this messy, bloody business, but I had to secure his place in this world before setting my plans into motion.Plans that have been months in
Alejandroโs PovThis is the happiest Iโve ever been in my life. For the first time, it feels like I have a complete familyโno, I know I have a complete family.In the last three months, the universe has granted me a gift I never expected: uninterrupted time with the woman I love and the child she carries. Our son. Every morning, I wake up beside her, wrapped in the warmth of her presence. I feel my sonโs first kick as the sun rises, and his tiny, eager movements as the night falls. Iโve stayed awake with them, laughed with them, cried with them, fallen sick with them, and loved them. Iโve been a father and a lover in every way that matters.Why? Because Radimrโs travels somehow stretched from days into weeks, and weeks into months.โSomething else has come up, and Iโll need to stay another week. . .โ Thatโs been his excuse for three months.On the phone, Mariana plays the part of the concerned wife. She sighs and murmurs her disappointment, as though his absence truly pains her. But
Marianaโs PovWhen my eyes open, Iโm met with the most beautiful sight Iโve seen in days. Alejandro, sleeping peacefully, his lashes fluttering, arms still wrapped around me.Wow!How did we fall asleep?I lean in and smack a kiss on his lips, causing him to stir a bit, groaning, his arms tightening firmer around me. I kiss him again, this time longer.It doesnโt take seconds before his mouth parts, his lips fusing with mine. I moan just as a groan vibrates throughout his body.His eyes flutter open, just a tiny slit, the lazy gaze holding mine. Itโs like realization dawns on him and he retrieves his lips from mine in a swift motion. โMariana. . .โ He whispers groggily.โMake love to me,โ I declare.His brows pull into a furrow, lips formed into a pout. โI. . .โ He starts and I cut him off.โPlease,โ I hush, my lips ghosting over his.His resolve falters. And heโs staring at me with adoration as well as restraint.Then thereโs the feral desire burning in his eyes. In mine too. The ris
Marianaโs PovTime seems to slow down when things arenโt really going your way.Maybe I pushed too hard, too far the other night. Far enough that Alejandro has been completely ignoring me for days now. Far enough that Radimr has become ware of me, always staring at me with suspicious eyes. Far enough that the maids in this house seem to avoid me as often as they can.To simply put, Iโve been living an isolated life for the past seven days.Just me, and my heavy fucking stomach. Itโs dreadful just as much as it is comforting.Iโm pulled out of the daze when a towering figure stands in front of me and wraps his hand around me. โDonโt look so sad, Iโm just going to be away for just a few weeks, my love,โ Radimr whispers as he hugs me. I thin my lips into a smile. โIโll miss you.โHis smile is radiant when he replies, โIโll miss you too. Please donโt over work yourself. . .or get to upset while Iโm gone. I wouldnโt want anything to happen to my son.โ Stupid fucker.I scoff. โIโm a big g
Marianaโs PovโLook at that,โ Alejandro says, his voice low, the smirk on his lips sharp enough to cut. โHow easy it is to lure you out here and break your heart into a million pieces.โThe words land like a blow. He doesnโt even try to soften them. And I know exactly what he means. When he came into my room, kneeling by my bed, whispering the words I had been desperate to hear for months, he knew. He knew I was awake, knew Iโd hear every word and cling to the hope they offered.It wasnโt an accident. He said them to draw me here. To break me just as much as Iโve broken him.Petty bastard.But itโs not the cruelty of his intention that stings the mostโitโs how he chose to do it. By humiliating me in front of someone else. Bringing her into a room that should have been our sanctuary, our safe haven.My lips tremble as I force out the question. โWhat is that supposed to mean?โAlejandro steps forward, his movements slow and deliberate, his smirk twisting with mockery. โWhat are you doin
