I let the video play and sat back. The surveillance camera was in one corner of the room, considering the angle of the video. Three days before my initiation, the date and time below showed. He had shot the footage beforehand. Elias had waited for me to decline the initiation before he had attempted
Elias’s jaw tightened, but he ignored her. He hauled my sister to the bed and growled, “Strip!” “She won’t strip.” Zia rushed next to them and jerked Elias’s hands off of Amara. Elias closed his eyes and breathed, “Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough.” Glaring at Zia and Amara, he admitted, “I will do a
BELLA “Mama?” Alessia’s voice echoed down the stairs and I peeked out of the kitchen, only to catch her hastening down the stairs. “Careful,” I voiced and placed the plate with toast and jam on the island. Alessia’s thudding steps sounded and the next thing I knew, she had her arms wrapped around
“You’re doing well around him,” I said, taking a seat on the couch. She finally looked at me with her brows arched. “Why wouldn’t I do well around him?” I lifted my shoulders. “Because he’s not doing well around you?” Her head twisted. She didn’t enjoy discussing the matter, and as much as I resp
"I don't think so." "Bells,” Matteo pressed, sounding quite persistent. I couldn’t help but guess what the matter could’ve been. Bella sighed. "Fine! I'll be far away and listening." She hadn’t joked about being far away as she took a seat by the steps of the stairs. As soon as Matteo’s eyes met
A normal life. I had never wanted kids because that was something I could never offer. But standing in a place where I had just discovered I had a daughter, I didn’t care if she couldn’t have a normal life. I could offer her the best life she could have. “But when the time came to give her up, I wa
BELLA To say I was nervous was the least. I was having a full-blown panic attack. Adonis had accepted the truth and wanted to see her, which made me the happiest, despite my fears. I had thought confronting Adonis would be the hardest, but here I was, in front of Alessia’s door, thinking of how to
“He wasn’t protecting my daughter. He was protecting his niece.” I was grateful to him. “Eight years, Domenico.” I didn’t need to say anything more. Dom understood and nodded curtly. Chattering voices reached my ears, and I sprang up to my feet. My stare moved back to the mezzanine floor again. Bel
“I should’ve killed that kid when I caught hold of Durant. That fucking bastard! Even his son isn’t any less,” Julian groaned. “He’s just a kid,” I murmured under my breath. That was what I believed. Aleksandr was a kid whose father had done terrible things and got taken away from him. He could no
BELLA Checking up on Fabi and Mamma one last time, I headed downstairs. The events had shaken everyone today. I knew I had nothing to reassure them with, not until Adonis and Matteo were back. Dante and Julian, the enforcer, were on the couch, faces smeared with tension. Julian’s phone buzzed, and
“Bombs,” someone yelled out. We lowered ourselves under the table while Adonis and his men pulled their guns out. Many men and women rushed toward the exit, trying to save their lives. I pulled Alessia closer to me and Mamma let out a heavy gasp and peeked her head out from under the table. “Don’t
“He had huge muscles and there were tattoos on his hands.” He pointed at the back of his hand. “He looked scary.” I couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his face. So pure and innocent. “You have nothing to fear,” I assured him and he stepped out of the room. “You’re the new bride.” “I am.” Ther
BELLA The outdoor reception was Ros’s idea. She loved the sight of string lights and candles, decorating almost every part of the bamboo ceiling and poles, giving the venue a light yellow touch amidst all the whites and blues. The only part I hated was that she wasn’t here to bear through the eveni
“You taste,” I scraped my teeth just below her clit and she moaned loudly, “so fucking delicious.”***BELLAOh, God! This was too much. I was riding his face, desperate to match the movements of his tongue. I wanted to hide my face in a blanket, worried about how this overwhelming need looked on me
“So hot.”There was a mix of lust, hunger and desperation in her eyes that sent blood rushing all the way to my cock strained against the harsh materials of my briefs. I pushed my hand underneath the waistband of her panties, down the mound of her sex covered in a small scruff and held her in a tigh
ADONISHelena made her way to her daughter, pulled her aside and said something to her, which made both of them laugh. They exchanged a hug and then Bella’s eyes were on me. She gave a little jerk, asking me why I was looking at her. Only if I could tell her why. She was the most beautiful woman to
I released her hand, cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips on hers, making sure everyone saw who she belonged to, who had her for the life ahead, and who would protect her if they ever thought of hurting her. I would always be there with her. As her husband. As her protector. As everything she dese
