The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch14 -“Give me an heir.”
Mariane and David silently sat in the back passenger seat while George was their driver. Mariane leaned on the window while watching the stars in the sky while pouting. She was pissed when George interrupted their dinner again and sat at the table next to theirs, then she received a message from David telling her to go home. Mariane had no choice but to follow her party-pooper-husband. She didn’t even have to talk to her friend.“Why so gloomy, Mariane?” David looked at her sideways.Mariane glared back at him and did nothing to say. Instead, she chose to stay quiet and close her eyes to get some sleep while they were on their way back home. David snorted and decided not to speak with her again.The entire ride became quiet as no one wanted to speak until they arrived at their house. Mariane immediately got out of the car. She immediately went to her room, not minding David, who was following her from behind.‘I won’t talk to you anymore. Party pooper!’ Mariane snorted as she slammed

‘Give me an heir.’ Kim passed by Mariane’s desk, and she noticed her friend, who was staring blankly at her computer. She snapped her fingers to get Mariane’s attention, but it didn’t help. “Earth to Mariane!” Kim knocked on her desk as she exclaimed to Mariane’s ears, making the latter wince and rub her ears. “I’m not deaf, you know.” Mariane glared at her friend. “You’ve been spacing out for like minutes? What’s on your little brain thinking?” Kim asked, narrowing her eyes at Mariane suspiciously. “Was it a guy?” She added while giggling, making Mariane hiss. “Guy, my ass.” She rolled her eyes in annoyance. Mariane remembered what David had said to her one week ago. “And lastly… Give me an heir.” Mariane got astounded by what he said. ‘An heir?! Is he crazy? How can I give him an heir?’ Mariane gasped. ‘Could it be…’ Her eyes widened in horror. ‘No… No… No… This can’t be.’ She thought. Mariane immediately crossed her arms over her chest, as if she was covering all of her bo

Mariane was busy typing on her computer when she received a text message. ‘I’ll pick you up later. We’ll have dinner at the restaurant I reserved.’But instead of getting excited, Mariane just snorted and toss her phone inside her bag, and didn’t bother to reply. She went back to typing and processing the documents of their clients. She drowned herself in working and didn’t notice that there was a guy standing in front of her desk. The guy cleared his throat to get her attention, which made her look up and noticed it was her colleague. Mariane smiled at the guy whom she didn’t know the name of yet.“Uhm… Hi? What can I do for you?” She asked.The guy looked at her shyly, with his ears red. “T-this… Flowers for you, Mariane. Happy Valentine’s Day.” He said and handed a bouquet of roses to her, which made Mariane stunned.She wanted to refuse it, but she didn’t want him to be embarrassed as the other employees were looking at them as well. Mariane knew she can’t bring the flowers to the
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch17 - You're a Beast!
After a hundred missed calls, David gave up calling her. ‘Dammit,’ David hissed. He was pissed as he canceled all of his meetings in the afternoon just for her, but Mariane will not join him for the valentines dinner he prepared for her.Even if Mariane told her not to pick her up, David still went to her workplace and waited for her. He noticed the employees were coming out of the building, so he hid behind the tree, wearing a black cap just to cover his identity.While David was hiding, he noticed Mariane went out with Kim, so he sighed out of relief. At least, Mariane did not break their rule. She was with Kim and no one else. He frowned when Kim called a cab. ‘Where are they going?’ He wondered.But when he followed them, they reached a fine dining restaurant. ‘Is this where will they meet their client?’ He wondered.David kept spying on her from the outside, and he recognized another familiar person inside the restaurant with Kim and Mariane. He frowned when Kim bid goodbyes to M
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch18 - “Moan for Me!”
“P-please, David… P-please don’t do this… I’m begging you. D-don’t.” Mariane begged.Mariane curled herself in the corner of the room shivering in fear, afraid David would hit her again. Her face reddened because of what David did. He rubbed her face violently as if he wanted to erase her face using his palm. When Mariane tried to fight him, David slapped her hard on her face, which earned a bruise and a cut on the side of her lips.Her hair was messy, and her clothes were slightly ripped. But David didn’t care. He was in a rage because he got jealous when someone touched his woman. David is a possessive person. If someone took his possession, he would surely punish those who took it. But in Mariane’s case, he was supposed to kill the guy who kissed Mariane. But Mariane begged for his life and she also broke their rules, which made David mad.Using his one hand, he grabbed Mariane in the arm and threw her back onto their bed. He went on top of her and held her cheeks, using his one ha
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch19 - Thought confessions
David carried Mariane to the bathroom and put her into the bathtub to clean herself. She couldn’t walk as she felt pain all over her body and was sore. After David left her alone inside the bathroom, Mariane cried herself out. She looked at her body, covered with bruises. She pitied herself.‘Is this all I’ve got? Is this my fate? Am I being punished because I am the daughter of a sinner?’ She sniffed as tears fell from her eyes. ‘I never thought I would have to experience this horrible nightmare.’ She took a deep breath.Mariane tried to stand up and went into the shower. She turned the heater on and took a shower.“I wonder how my mom is right now. She got abused before… She has become a battered wife now. I wonder how she can cope with all this. How can mom endure all the pain- everything that had happened to her and until now?”Mariane was in a daze while in deep thought when David came in without her noticing him. She gasped as her eyes widened in shock, as she got horrified whe
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch20 - Hope
Mariane woke up with a heavy feeling. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure of a man sleeping beside her. His arm was wrapped around her while the other arm served as her pillow. Their faces were only inches away. At first, she got confused about who the guy was. But it came to her realization that it was David. Mariane suddenly pushed David, making David shocked from falling from the bed. He was about to shout at Mariane in annoyance, but he stopped when he saw the fear on Mariane’s face. He sighed in exasperation and sat next to her.“I-I’m sorry. I-I did not mean t-to push you… I was just surprised.” Mariane stuttered as she tried to explain what she did to him.Mariane was trembling in fear as she clasped her hands like she was praying to spare her life from another punishment. She closed her eyes, thinking David would slap her. But she got astounded when David just put the back of his hand on her forehead.‘Eh?’ She blinked thrice as she couldn’t believe was had just happen
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch21 - “I'm warning you…”
David visited Mariane’s work to meet the owner of the company. “Mr. Cruz… Good morning. What brings you here?” The old lady greeted him as soon as he entered her office.“Good morning, Mrs. Brook.” Mrs. Brook smiled and sat on her swivel chair. She offered the chair in front of her desk to David.“Have a seat, please. Do you want some coffee? Tea? Water? Or Juice?” She asked.“No. I’m okay. I will not stay for too long as well. I will not hesitate any longer and will direct my aim here to you. You had an employer named Mariane Ramos.” Mrs. Brook mouthed an ‘Oh’ at what she just had heard from him.She thought she was lucky that the wife of the wealthiest guy in the country works with her, which means she’ll get benefits from him as well. But she was wrong.“I want you to remove her from your employees. She is my wife and as her husband, on behalf of her... I am applying for her resignation.”“B-but I heard from her colleagues… Your wife is hardworking and competent. It would be a sham
