ELENA

I woke up to sunlight.

And the feel of a very warm hard body behind me.

I blinked, confused as hell.

Where was I? And why did it smell lie delicious spicy male colgne?

I jerked as my instincts kicked in, trying to move from the body, but was kept in place by big arms that wrapped around me like a cacoon. Huh?

"You are finally awake?" Luca's gruff baritone vibrated down the length of my back. I gasped at the sound, wondering why I was in this position. And it felt so good.

"What happened? Why am I here?" I was enjoying his warmth too much, and all thoughts of leaving escaped my mind as he pulled me even closer.

"You passed out." he murmured close to my ears, "We rushed you to the hospital. You woke up on the way, then passed out again. Anyway, I decided to bring you home, since you can get better care here."

I shut my eyes tight, remembering what had happened. The man... Samuel... me pulling the trigger, fully intending to kill him. I had never shot at a person before. I had bee

    ELENAA small gasp left my lips, my chest rising and falling. The pain from him pinching my nipple caused my whole body to hum.How we had gone from warm to cold, to hot now, was beyond me.And of course my body always responded accordingly.I mean, how could I not? When he literally stood there in nothing but boxer briefs that did nothing to hide the very obvious outline of his cock.Luca spun me around, bringing my bum to press firmly on his hardness. He raised my hands over my head, and guided me to the wall where he laid my palms flat. "Don't bring them down, no matter what." He murmured gruffly."I nodded helplessly, quickly getting overcome by lust. He could command me to lift a car now, and I would have done so. "Okay." I answered.Luca spanked me, hard. "Okay... what?" He asked, lifting up my night wear to expost my bum to the cool air.I racked my brain, trying to understand what he meant, and shuddered when I remembered his words earlier. "Yes, Sir." I quickly offered, and w

    LUCAThe phone pressed to my ear was hot as fuck, but I couldn't give a shit. It wasn't as hot as I was feeling inside from all the anger inside of me."Alberto, you have absolutely now right to talk to me like that. You were in the middle of that fight and I am yet to know why. So don't come at me with your bloody reverse psychology because it would not work."Fabio, had pulled a copy of the CCTV footage from the casino, and just moments before the chaos happened and the CCTV was trashed, I could see Alberto walk in.The crazy part was, I had been parked right in front with both, and hadn't seen anything.Yet here he was, blaming me for putting his daughter in danger."What I do and where I go is none of your business, son. And I am very well in the right to hold you accountable for my daughter. She is a fucking asset to me, whether she is your wife or not!" his words struck me real deep but I wasn't even. having it right now."No. You have done business with the Spaniards before. Yo

    ELENAI knew I shouldn't have been coming out here, but no one had exactly banned me from going to any part of the house.Luca, Dante, and Alessandro had all gone out after lunch, with Luca saying they had somewhere to be. Even Valeria had disappeared as usual. I could not forget the lunch, even if I wanted to.All three siblings of his had taken turns interpretting our every move as something way more than it was. I was thankful though, that they had stopped with the whole me being in love with Luca comment, immediately he entered the kitchen.I didn't even want to know what his reaction to such would have been.I pushed open the gates of that led to the east wing, and frowned at the building that looked back at me.Because my bedroom window wasn't facing this part of the house, I had no view of this place. The only view I would have had, was from the kitchen and library. But the trees covered them, and it was build in a way you couldn't see it anyway.I was shocked at how identical

    ELENA"You will not disobey me, Elena. You will marry him."Those were the words of my father, Don Alberto Ricci, and they echoed loudly in my mind like I had just been slapped in the face.When he had called me that morning, I should have known that something was off. Don Alberto had done everything possible to ignore his only child in the last few years, that I had given up on thinking I actually had a father."I will do no such thing, Father." I hissed, gritting my teeth as anger pulsed through my veins. "It is funny how you think I will just sit here and let you sell me off to the highest bidder!""Well, that highest bidder is my only chance at being on the stronger side of this war, Elena, and you will marry him." He moved closer, his eyes blazing. There were few times my father had shown me this side of him, and this, compared to all those times, was the worst."No—" The word had just left my mouth when a slap landed on my face, cutting off the air in my lungs.Pain coursed throu

    ELENAI sat stiffly in the back of the sleek black limousine, my fingers curled into my lap as I stared out the tinted window. The grand cathedral loomed ahead, its towering stone facade casting an ominous shadow over the crowded street. The bells tolled, marking the hour of my doom.My wedding.My prison sentence.My hair had been curled to perfection by the best stylists in the country. My makeup, flawless.The soft lace clung to my skin from my neck down to my waist, before flaring out into the most beautiful wedding dress I had ever set my eyes on. Too bad it was for a day like this.Between my father and my groom, they had spared no expense.I couldn't feel a thing.Numbness had become my new favorite emotion.It was the only way to forget what I had seen in that room that day.Had I not been enough for him? I had given him almost everything he could have ever wanted.Had I been that horrible of a girlfriend that he had opted for a threesome?The thought made my stomach turn.My e

    The walk down the aisle was more of a walk of shame than anything else as I held on tightly to my father's arm like my life depended on it.If it caused him any kind of pain, Don Alberto said nothing, gazing straight ahead as he led me to slaughter.The smiles from those around almost made me lose it. They weren’t aware that this was all just a sham.I gazed around, searching through the crowd, and almost stumbled when my gaze caught that of Donavan.What was he doing here?He was supposed to be far away from here, right?Donavan was the first to look away, his face void of any expression. If he was here to add salt to my wound, then he was going to be disappointed.I almost didn’t realize when we reached my husband-to-be, and my father left my side."You are not bad to look at," Luca said once I was standing next to him, causing irritation so intense to flood my whole being.How... how... annoying!At least now I could focus my mind on something. Anger."Are you trying to say I'm beau

    LUCAI tried my best to ignore the woman next to me, but my tactics only worked for two minutes. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t concentrate without something about her filtering into my thoughts.She was easily the sexiest woman I had ever met.She wasn’t the typical model beauty standard. Far from it.Elena Ricci… well, Elena De Santis now… was every inch a woman.Her hair was thick and wavy, the deep, rich chestnut brown highlighted perfectly against her skin. From the first day I had set eyes on her, all I had wanted to do was wrap my fingers around that hair and pull. Fuck…The thought of her on all fours, my hand fisted in her hair, pulling it back while I did unimaginable things to her, made me shudder lightly.Her skin… oh, how I wanted to taste every inch.Elena didn’t know what she had signed up for.Sure, I wanted her to hate me. I didn’t believe in love. Not ever.Besides, if she found out the truth… Nah, I wasn’t going to go there.But she was going to do my bidding

    ELENAIf I had thought seeing Luca was over for the day, I had been sorely mistaken because just as I had prepared to lay down and rest my sore muscles, a servant knocked on my door, informing me that Luca had asked to see me in his study.Talk of bad timing.I stood in the huge study, ignoring how massive it was and focused on the man in front of me. Arms crossed, I watched Luca move with calculated ease. He removed his jacket, unbuttoning his cuffs as he turned to me with a cold smirk.“There are rules in my house, Elena,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You will follow them.”I arched a brow, refusing to show fear. Rules? Of course, a man like Luca had rules in his house. “I’m not your slave.”His smirk deepened. “You’re my wife. That means you belong to me in every way that matters.”My jaw tightened, but I remained silent. I had to pick my battles.“First rule,” Luca continued, stepping closer. Yeah, he had to come into my space again. “You will respect my authority. I will not

    MATTEO I wanted to chase after that idiot, but refrained from doing so, and instead, focused on lifting a passed out Elena into my arms. My heart thudded violently,and the thought of anything happening to her, felt like someone was ripping me to shreds. Heck just knowing she had been in danger, had me shaking. When I heard the first gun shot, I had lost the ability to breathe. "Fuck!" Hakeem hissed, trying to wrap samuel's lower abdomen where he had been shot. He was losing a lot of blood, and we needed to get to the hospital and quick. I picked Elena's gun, and got into the car, refusing to let her out of my arms. That was where she belonged. Hakeem helped a still conscious Samuel into the passenger's seat of the car, before starting the engine. I shot a quick message so the area could be cleaned, and the vehicle towed away. "I'm sorry boss, but the car wouldn't start." His voice was slurred, from how weak he was getting. Even his eyes barely stayed open. "It's okay, Samuel.

    UNKNOWN "I fucking told you to let it be. You will put us in trouble!" My brother's voice was too loud, even from the phone. I grunted, looking around the lonely street to see if anyone was in sight. It was a run down street, with hardly any soul walking through that wasn't a criminal or a drug addict. Even homeless people stayed away. Yet it is where I currently found myself in. I looked down at my injured hand, tying the cloth around the bullet grazing tighter, so as not to get any blood on the floor. It was more than a graze, and to think I was shot by my own man. Although it was a mistake. "You don't expect me to sit down and let Luca take my business deal from me." I bellowed. "I have worked hard... you and me both.. for the past few months, and next thing I see is his mole trying to sabotage me. No way in hell was I going to sit and let things slide." "Well you didn't have to fucking turn the casino into a bloodbath! Now we are banned, and if word gets around th

    LUCA"Mind your business, Hakeem." I hissed, pushignback the passenger seat of my car so I could stretch my long legs. I didn't even want to ask why the chair was pushed forward in the first place because I knew I wasn't going to be pleased with the answer.We were currently parked outside of a casino, waiting for our informant to give us the go ahead on whether we should go in or not.According to him, the Casino was packed with buyers, and what other way to get things running, than playing a game or two with them.But there was a particular person I needed to see."Well, you have been looking at that phone for the past three hours, and I can tell you would rather be with her, then here." Hakeem said in a sing-song voice.Dante snorted form where he sat at the backseat."Shut up." I hated when he decided to talk. I preferred him professional to the t, as he actually mostly was. But sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he behaved differently. Like now."I mean, he's not lying." Dant

    ELENAThe papers I was carrying weighed more than they were supposed to.Donavan hadn't been lying.It was true. All of it.My phone rang, shattering the silence in the car.Samuel looked at me through the rearview mirror when I didn't bother answering it and let it ring two more times.I eyed him, then turned my face to the car window, focusing on the passing buildings instead. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. Especially after what I had just found out.I hadn't been able to get through to Alberto, making me wonder where he had kept his phone."Are you alright, ma'am?" Samuel asked, making me look back to see him giving me a worried look through the rearview mirror."Since when did we start caring for each other, Samuel?" My tone was bored and filled with sarcasm.We never had discussions. It was always silent in the car. Sometimes, too silent.Samuel's eyes showed amusement and he peeled his gaze away, back to the road. "That's basically my job ma'am." His tone matched mine.

    ELENA"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience." Dorathy Stevenson said with an apologetic look on her face. In her hands were numerous company files.I waved my hand. "Next time just make sure things are in order, to avoid pulling me out of the house like that." I replied, not really offended, just tired.When the door had opened, I hadn't been expecting to see my assistant panting like she had run a marathon. Although I won't be suprised she if she had.None of my father's shipments had gotten the approval to pass. We had had to act really fast.Now though, I was tired as hell and just needed to go home.Who knew that a last minute decision to wear snakers, was gonna save my legs from a lot of pain.I dismissed her and began sorting through the documents in my office. I hadn't had the time to do so, and had told Dorathy not to worry about them, preferring to do them myself.Nothing beat arranging your own document and knowing where you kept what.I was head deep in a box, when I felt
