That's all I need to know why they were fighting. But I want to hear everything come from her own mouth "Go on" "Padre asked me to turn him against you. I had no choice but to follow his orders. You know I'm not Marianna. I can't defy him" "Since when have I ever gotten away with defying him?" Marianna jumps up, angry again. I wonder if she can spend five minutes with Carina without her claws coming out. "Oh please, you get lighter punishments compared to me" Those marks on her back are what they call lighter punishment? I'm too stunned to talk. "Lighter punishments? Are you blind or are you just stupid? You know what? Forget it. Just tell De Luca here how you convinced his guy to steal money from him for Padre. Then we want to know why that guy is dead and why his wife thought I was in contact with him" "This is exactly why I wanted to talk to you alone. You're more reasonable than she is" "He wouldn't be if he was the one reliving his worst nightmare in that basement. Wou

My back hurts like hell. Fuck, Paulo has a heavy hand, heavier than Padre's. I can't believe De Luca humiliated me like that. I wouldn't have minded if De Luca was the one who dealt with the punishment. After all, it was my fault his accountant died, and he lost a lot of money. I'm glad he didn't put a bullet in my head, but to let Marianna and her henchman do this? I'm furious with him. So mad that I could kill him, but I won't. He's gotten on the wrong train by siding with that psycho. She's unstable. Eventually, he'll find out just how wrong his choice was. When Padre sent me here, I thought I could persuade De Luca to help me take him down, but it looks like I arrived a little late. That motherfucker is already under Marianna's spell. It doesn't matter what I do now, there's no way he'll pick me over her. I could try seducing him, but it would be a waste of time. He might end up using me instead of the other way around. I can't risk being a pawn in this game. Pawns get easily dis

The way he says it with so much disdain has me pulling back to stare at him. It's adorable how he hates Padre as much as I do. This is why I like him. Despite being dumb sometimes, he's supportive in so many ways. Stretching up, I kiss him. He moans, pushing me back on the bed, and I let him because I need this. I need to feel something that isn't anger, revenge, or jealousy. Of course, I'm not jealous of Marianna. Just jealous of the people she has beside her. Aside from her minions, now she has De Luca, too. It's so unfair that people end up liking her even if she's the bad guy. But then again, life isn't fair, is it? All I have is this man, and that's close to no one. We are a couple, but I know he doesn't love me, and never will because he's not the sort to fall in love. He's after money. Even if we ran away together, I doubt we'd be together for more than two years. But isn't that what I want? To have money and get any man I want without the burden of feelings. As Damian thrusts

A few day's rest is exactly what I needed. Paulo still hasn't found out who poisoned my food. It wasn't exactly poison though. The doctor said it was an illegal drug normally sold on the black market. A small amount, like the one I was subjected to, was harmless and would only make me puke my guts out. If they'd used more, it would have led to organ failure and I would have died. It's funny how the culprit knew the right amount. De Luca won't bother investigating because I'm fine and he has too much on his plate. The ass. I have a feeling this has something to do with Carina but I haven't done anything about it. She thinks she's too clever. Ever since we were young, she thought she was more clever than me even though I've shown her time and again that she can't beat me. If I find out she was behind this I will definitely give her a taste of her own medicine. Getting out of bed I move to stand in front of the closet mirror and look at myself. Although I feel better today, I don't look

"Fuck, can I come along?" Nev asks as I walk past him. His question makes me laugh and some of the anticipation I feel, dissipates. Not all, but some. "Sure. Grab your purse and let's go" "Great. Let me just tell Cris..." "No" De Luca says from somewhere behind me. I can't look at him or I'll end up falling on my knees and begging him. It doesn't escape me that he didn't go upstairs but that doesn't matter. He'd never help me. "Sorry, Nev" I pat his shoulder leaving. He looks like a kid who's been grounded. Which reminds me of his son Tommaso. I haven't seen him around for a while. Where did he go? That question is erased from my mind together with everything else when I see Carina standing at the front door with her boyfriend. She's in a white knee-length dress. I'm sure others think it looks good on her but all I see is how ugly it makes her look. With her pale skin, why the hell would she go for white of all the colors? "Well isn't this lovely. Light and dark going head t

Trigger Warning : Attempted sexual assault. I feel dizzy and my body has frozen. This isn't happening. Not now. All these years I feared Padre would do this. Force me to be with some asshole just to make a point. It was the reason I slept with Paulo. Somehow I wanted to be in control of at least one thing in my life. Who I gave my virginity to mattered. I didn't want one of Padre's guys to take it forcefully because there was no way I would ever be with anyone who worked for him. When he found out -I don't know how he did- he raised hell, but it was already done. There was nothing he could do about it. And with that stupid thought came the realization that he could never hurt me that way. How wrong I'd been. Now as I'm standing here while this guy rips my dress, it occurs to me how I was delusional. There are so many ways this man could hurt me and not just physically. The world might know me as his daughter but he doesn't give a crap about that. What father out there sits in a corn

One of my eyes is too swollen to see so I open the other one, just as something warm flows down into my hair. And then his weight is gone and Paulo is standing over me. Even through my one eye, I can see how furious he is. Relief floods me but I'm also angry. At him, at the dead asshole, fucking Padre, and even De Luca. Why didn't he stop me and demand to know where we were going? Wasn't he holding us hostage? I'm furious but as I lie there with a swollen face and blood in my hair, a sort of calm washes over me. This is the push I needed. "You move and I won't hesitate to put one in you," Paulo says and I assume he's talking to Padre. I'm lying on the ground naked, with blood all over my face and hair and Padre has the audacity to laugh. Not chuckle but a full blown out belly laugh. I guess this is one of his hobbies. Inflicting pain and watching people suffer. Paulo slips a T-shirt over my head, I assume his, then carries me out. I feel like I'm floating and all too soon I black

I'm coming out of the kitchen with a beer when Carina comes back. She looks happy and is smiling, an expression I haven't seen on her face for a while. I'm thinking I made a good call by letting them go out. Is it a wonder they're always fighting? They've been cooped up in this house for weeks, throwing glares at each other. Maybe unwinding and coming back with hangovers will give me one day of peace. "Hey," she says surprising me. After letting Paulo punish her for the whole Fausto incident, she's been ignoring me. I wonder why she decided to talk to me again. "Where's Marianna?" "Still partying. I think she needs to dance off her bad attitude. Don't you?" The thought of her grinding on some guy all night doesn't sit well with me but then again I have better things to do. Carina is right about Marianna letting loose. When she left earlier I got the feeling she was scared. I've been living with her for a month and I think I'm starting to understand the mystery that is Marianna

"Last chance, Cris. If you mess it up, I'll send you to hell myself" Damn it! Who was I kidding? I never had a chance. Maybe provoking him wasn't a good idea. If I hadn't talked to him, he would have continued his play. Giving me more time to convince her that I am the better choice. Then again, who's to say she would have given in? Actions speak louder than words. She doesn't trust me. Locking her door was a clear sign that she didn't feel safe with me. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't let her go the first time we met. Why does she keep going back to him? He'll hurt her again. I know he will. Turning off the laptop, I take my car keys and leave. She needs to come back to her senses. After everything that bastard did, how could she forgive him? It's okay if she doesn't want to be with me but he's not right for her either. He left when she needed him the most and he will do it again. "Sir" "What?" "She's still waiting for you in the lobby"

I'm curious to know if they've made up but I don't want to disturb them in case they're in the middle of it. Carina just needed a little shove to see that she still loved her husband. I know the other guy, Marco, has done a lot for her but he honestly scares me. Cris is on our level. If we put our minds to it, we could destroy his business and leave him penniless. As a matter of fact, if he does something stupid again, that's what I'll do. But Marco? He's too powerful. He doesn't go around showing it but Damiano told me about him and I was shocked. If someone like that were to date my sister, of course, we would be known as the most powerful family. But it would also mean that we couldn't do anything without his permission. I thought about it really hard. About who would make Carina happy. Maybe I'm judging Marco too harshly but I don't think he can do it. She doesn't look at him the same way she looks at Cris. At first, I just wanted to mess around with her and se

"Marianna!" "Gee, are you trying to burst my eardrum? What's the problem now? Shouldn't you be happy for having a sister as caring as I am?""I'm sorry but did you not hear me when I told you to stay out of it? Are you deaf?""Yes. I usually become deaf when it suits me. Which stage are you at?" "I don't know what's going through that thick head of yours but I'll have you know that I'm going to kick him out" "I took the keys with me" Idiot "I have two spare keys you dumbass" "Damn it! Why are you so stubborn? I just want to see you happy" "It doesn't have to be with him. I can be happy with someone else" I lower my voice so he doesn't hear me. Waking up to find him hovering above me almost gave me a heart attack. But it's not the first time I've caught him watching me sleep. If I didn't know him I'd think he was a creep. "Remember when you left the Maldives and were kidnapped by that asshole?" "Yeah. Marco's guys saved me and took me to his house" "Half a point

Now I'm a hundred percent sure Marianna spent all night planning this. I don't know if I should thank her or be pissed. This could go two ways. Carina could either ignore everything and kick me out or she would end up thinking I was in cahoots with her sister and possibly hate me forever. Either way, it's not gonna end well. Before she comes out, I check for other notes and get rid of them. I've just discarded the last one when she asks, "Is there food in there? Marianna said she ordered some" Some is an under... Fuck. Thank God the fridge door is shielding me or I wouldn't know how to explain my hard-on. One look at her and my cock jumps up happily. I know I have no right to demand anything from her but there's no way I'll let her leave the house dressed like that. The floral dress is simple, exposing her shoulders and a good part of her legs but damn it, those legs are mine. That cleavage is mine. Every part of her is mine. She moves towards me and for a second, I forget to breat

I missed watching her sleep. She looks like an angel curled up, with one of her legs exposed and the other one under the covers. I want to stop time so we'll be stuck in this moment forever. So I can look at her all I want without any interruptions. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I tuck her hair behind her ear, marveling at her long lashes, straight nose, and full lips. I want to kiss her while she's asleep because I know she won't let me anywhere near her once she wakes up. Why I once thought it was okay to let her go is beyond me. Will she be angry when she wakes up and sees me here? What can I do to get her back? No matter how much I think about it, I can't see a future where I'm okay without her. Before her, I didn't believe in love. My plan was to find a woman, any woman, and start a family with her. It's no secret that most women would like to be my wife. My last name comes with not only money but also power. The kind that lets them do whatever they want k
The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal   145. Carina
Was I too harsh? But why won't he leave me alone? I already told him that I'd moved on and our relationship was over. Why is he trying so hard? Damn him. He forced me to tell him those things. I wouldn't have been so mean if he had just stayed away. Yes, it's his fault. He deserves that and so much more for abandoning me when... If you don't care, why are you still hung up on that? This is getting old. I can't always use that as an excuse. I don't care about him or his feelings but that doesn't mean I have to put up with him. If I show him the slightest consideration, he won't leave and chances are, I might end up back in his arms. But if I don't care, why am I still up at half past one worrying if he was hurt by my words? Thanks to Cris, I have another sleepless night and wake up feeling grumpy. Funny how I'm not affected by the fact that Lombardi was still alive. Maybe he still is. Marianna said she wasn't sure if Nev killed him or not. What I don't understand is why

"Why are you still here?" "I'm wondering if I should sue you for illegal termination of employment. How can you just fire me?" "Your services are no longer needed. Why should I let you stay? Besides, weren't you the one who was complaining about how you didn't sign up for this shit?""Still. You should have given me a one-month notice" I shift my eyes to look at him. What changed? I was under the impression that he didn't want to stay here because he wasn't fond of Val. Why isn't he jumping with joy? "Are you high?" "Because of your kid, I haven't smoked anything in a long time" "Then I thank you on Val's behalf. Now get lost" As much as I appreciate his help, it would be better if he left. I suspect he wants to stick around because of Carina. She's a beautiful woman and men can't help but be interested in her. Speaking of Carina, I wonder if telling her about Val was the right choice. Marco pissed me off and all I could think was that I should never let him wi

"Are you insane?" "Yeah. Insanely hot" "Why didn't you come to me first?" Flopping back on the bed, I close my eyes. Damiano is as pissed as Giovanni was, when he found out I asked Nev to kill Lombardi. I understand why Giovanni would feel that way but not Damiano. They're acting as if I did something horrible when in reality, they are the ones who are in the wrong. Why the hell would they want to keep that bastard alive? For what reason?"If I hadn't followed you, you wouldn't have told me he was still alive" "Barely. He was hooked up to all those machines and had no chance of waking up. Why would you kill him?" "Technically he was already dead. Why does it matter if I killed him or asked someone else to do it? As you said, he wasn't going to regain consciousness" "That doesn't make it alright for you to kill him!" He snarls, making me lean on my elbows. Lifting my head to stare at him. "Are you seriously angry at me because of that bastard?" "In case you fo

It's almost nine and I'm roaming around the house aimlessly because I can't sleep. For some reason, my nerves are too wound up to let me settle down. Who am I kidding? It's that bastard. Knowing he's here and planning on wooing me, as Marco put it, is driving me insane. Is he the one who's been sending me flowers? Where is he? Why was he here that day? And screw Marco. Why the fuck would he tell me that? Anyone in his position would do everything they could to keep me from finding out. Why did he tell me? How does he even know that? Are they in contact or is he spying on him?I'm scared of his presence. I'm scared that his presence will thaw the ice around my heart because it was already melting before I knew he was here. I'm so scared I'll forgive him and fall into his arms as if nothing happened. If I'm honest with myself, I will admit that I miss him. I miss the way he bulldozed himself into my life, the way he still came back to me even when I almost ruined his busines
