MAEVE HAWTHORN.I shuddered when he said that, realizing that this nightmare wasn’t over yet and as much as I wished I could handle more sick stuff, I wished all of this would end.He lowered my legs back to the floor and they gave out as I staggered, my arms too were exhausted from being raised for so long and as he unhooked my bound wrists from their ceiling rope, I collapsed to the floor with my inflated ass pointing skyward the air tube like a human tail.“You look tired but I’m sure you want more, don’t you?” His voice made its way to my subconscious as I opened my eyes but was unable to speak.My eyes rolled back, my mouth opening but I couldn’t let out a single word. That’s how exhausted I was and I hated that he looked like was having the time of his life.Just when I think he couldn’t get any sicker, he unlocks another phase of himself that has me questioning if he had been admitted to a psychiatric ward before.“Aren’t you supposed to say something to daddy for bringing you
ENZO DE-LUCA.It’s been about five hours since I’ve left Maeve all tied up, gagged and trapped in a small box but hopefully, she finds a way to work her hips since I loosened that part.“What are you thinking about? you keep zoning out.” Levi’s voice brought me out of the thought I was lost in as I emptied my gun to add new bullets.I’d promised her that I wasn’t going to be back late and as much as I would have loved to be there as early as I could, these monkeys aren’t making it any easier on me.“I have to finish this as soon as possible, Maeve’s waiting for me.” I responded breathlessly, my clothes and face bloodstained.Levi went on with the shooting, covering me as I scanned the huge warehouse for the son of a bitch I had the intention of killing but it seems like he knew that we were coming.I’d caught one of his men and tortured him into giving out the location of his boss. I usually like my torture on piece of shits like him quick but somehow, the guy was trying to prove his
MAEVE HAWTHORN.I hate him. I hate him so much and wish he would just go to hell.All of my attempts to move my body only proved futile, my throat itched so much and my body ached but I couldn’t bring myself to move.My eyes remained closed even though I tried my hardest to open them. Fear soon began crimping in, I don’t know how long I’ve been doing this for but I knew it’s been so long.So long that I felt like I was being plunged into a really deep pit of despair but surprisingly enough, I could feel water and other liquid substances make their way into my mouth.Something cold also grazed my skin every once in a while and that was when it dawned on me. Terror gripped me when I remembered that Enzo had passed a tube into my mouth.I thought he came back, I was sure he came back.Am I still there, all tied up like some sort of historical item shown at a museum?My body felt as though it was being crushed up against something and I could barely breathe no matter how hard I tried, it
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Staring directly into his green heart, my heart leapt and I could feel my face getting so hot that I felt like I was in an oven being baked to death.Did I really say that? Did I really tell him not to leave me? When?I tried to remember, my mind playing back everything I’d said but I couldn’t really remember everything. It was almost as though my brain had been completely wiped.Why did I ask him to stay though? I shouldn’t have said something like that.He had made me feel horrible, tied me up and put me up like I was some sort of lab rat and if anything, I shouldn’t want to see him anymore but somehow, sitting with him didn’t feel so bad.Only one man could make me feel so embarrassed that I start to lose faith in the fact that I actually have self esteem and self worth and somehow, I would still enjoy his company.Enzo De- Luca.How? Just how does he do it?“I didn’t think you cooked.” I managed to say, putting an end to the thoughts in my head and trying to hide t
ENZO DE-LUCA.What is she doing?Her tongue forcibly parted my mouth, imposing herself on me as our tongue entwined and my fingers trembled, my hand shook as I held back the urge to kiss her back.My cock throbbed, extremely ready and I hated that I had little to no control when it comes to Maeve. I wanted to push her away, to ask her to leave this house, maybe even make provisions for her to leave the country but I couldn’t.I never thought letting go of someone could be so fucking hard, our future, the future of this relationship has never stop being on a knife edge.It’s like walking a tightrope, my mind was a barrage of thoughts and my head ached so much that I thought my brain was going to explode.I should have pushed her away but despite my determination, I couldn’t bring myself to push her away and if anything, I drew her closer to me.Ahh. What the fuck am I doing now?“Maeve—” I broke the kiss as I called her name, my eyes peering into her brown ones, her lips quivered, they
MAEVE HAWTHORN.What was I thinking? Why the hell did I kiss him when I know I should be chasing him away with a baseball bat?Sighing, I laid on the bed and clutched the pillow close to my chest, cuddling and hanging on to it as I stared into space.My heart was still thumping, beating so rapidly that it felt as though I was going to have a heart attack. Groaning, I picked up my phone and decided to call my best friend since she’s about the only person that can make me feel better now that Enzo’s gone.“Hey! Are you better now?” Scarlett asked, she wasted no time picking up her phone, “I thought you needed as much rest as possible, it’s why I didn’t bother calling.” She added happily.From the way she spoke, I could tell that she knew something and my curiosity couldn’t handle not knowing what that thing was.“What do you know?” I enquired, hitting the nail right on the head and Scarlett bursted out laughing as she sighed.“Well, I called you but he, you know who, picked up and told
ENZO DE-LUCA.What am I doing asking her to let me fuck hey after saying all those horrible things to her.My green eyes held hers, my heart pounding crazily in my heart and I just wanted to know why I was doing this again.Am I actually ready to accept those feelings and reciprocate or am I just mad at the fact that Levi had asked me to love her because he wanted to be with Yvette? I shouldn’t be mad about that, I have no feelings whatsoever for Yvette.He can fuck her, hell, he can even marry her for all I care but asking me to accept Maeve’s feelings just so he wouldn’t have to see me as an opponent just pisses me off.“Wh— What are you doing here?” Maeve asked when she’d finally adjusted to everything, her pupils were dilated, her lips pursed and parted and her eyes, God, her eyes.I could get lost in them for the rest of my fucking life, this is the only woman I want. The only woman I need but somehow, not only do I keep messing up but I know that I just can’t have her.She doesn
ENZO DE-LUCA.Holding her so close to me, it was so obvious that I didn’t want to let her go, I couldn’t even if I wanted to. She smelled of me and it was intoxicating to perceive my scent on her.Her body felt so fragile in my embrace and it was almost as though she was going to break if I held her too tight and so, I released my grip.“I’m sorry,” I muttered as I buried my face in the nape of her neck, “you don’t deserve any of this, you really don’t.” I added.The same question rang in my head more times than I could count. Why am I doing this? Why am I apologizing when I know that I might go back to making the same mistake.“You make me feel like I have a hold on you and—”“You kind of do,” Maeve cut in before I could finish what I wanted to say, “I have to pay your debt or I would never be able to leave.” She added, her voice void of all kinds of emotion.My chest tightened and my fingertips trembled as I moved my arm away from her and in one swift movement, Maeve lifted her gaze
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Her face was buried in his chest and they were both covered in blood. My eyes went wide and I felt anger knotting in my stomach as I stared at him.I shouldn’t be mad, I should be glad that he’s fine and there’s probably a reason he was holding her like that, something probably happened and I shouldn’t be angry but I couldn’t control.My teeth gritted and I felt my stomach curl in both pain and anger, my nostrils flared in fury as a cloud darkened my mind, thunder rattling my thoughts but despite it all, I forced myself to smile.“Welcome home, Enzo.” I said, swallowing all of the rage that was welling up in my throat but the disgust I felt seeing another woman in my man’s arms was so powerful I couldn’t ignore it.“I’m back,” he responded, his voice was low, rough, dull and tired, “I should have come to get you but I couldn’t leave Yvette alone, she got injured in the clash.” He explained and I nodded.“I’m sorry, I was—”“It’s fine, Enzo,” I cut in before he could fi
MAEVE HAWTHORN.The entire house was in a panic and the last thing I wanted was to let Enzo deal with that panic alone but I also knew that I was going to be getting in his way.“AHH!” I screamed, closing my eyes and covering both my ears when I heard the sound of a loud gunshot. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see that Enzo was completely gone.He had disappeared and I couldn’t see even the slightest trace of him in the hallway. My heart sank into my stomach right away.My breath caught in my throat and I could feel myself shaking like a fucking wet leaf as disturbing images built up in my head and I just couldn’t.That’s the father of my baby!“ENZ—”“No!” Clara said firmly, her hand clamping down on mine as she started pulling me down the hallway and towards the same room the women and men that couldn’t really handle violence were all heading too.“Something bad is going to happen, I can’t let him go there alone.” The words rushed out of my mouth as I struggled in Clara’s firm hold but
ENZO DE-LUCA.Her eyes were wide as she stared at me, it was evident that she was stunned, her tongue was absolutely tied and I swear I wanted to wait until she was ready to tell me but I couldn’t.My excitement was way beyond my ability to conceal and knowing how much I needed to learn, I wanted to get to work as soon as possible.I wanted to be there for every doctor’s appointment, for every morning, afternoon, evening or night sickness, I want to learn how to help her handle the mood swings she was going to be getting.Scrolling through the internet and I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned that the pregnancy hormones are far stronger than the menstrual hormones and there would be days when she would just want me out of her hair because I’m annoying.I want to experience every single moment.“I know you’re pregnant and really, I was going to wait for you to tell me at your own time but there’s no way I can act like I don’t know anything.” I sighed as I sat up.Maeve was still in shock,
ENZO DE-LUCA.“What?” She looked shocked as I impaled myself next to her and placed my head on her shoulder, “what are you talking about?” She added.“I mean, I thought about it and my answer changed,” I responded, “having a baby is still scary but if you’re the woman carrying that baby then I don’t think I have to worry.” I paused.“I swear it sounded better in my head and not as if I wanted you as a breeder or anything of the sort, I just thought about having a mini you and that changed my mind.” I explained.Silence settled in the room and even the silence was so loud that I could not only hear my heart beating so fast but I could hear hers too and the chatter between my men downstairs.I wanted her to say something, to tell me that she still wanted my baby but my little flame didn’t say anything and I was left with thinking I’ve really ruined everything.“I know what I said the other day annoyed you and you’ve probably not forgiven me for it but I swear I had my own reasons even t
ENZO DE-LUCA.“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked as I helped Maeve get out of the bathroom, I knew something was off about her, she’s been falling sick a lot lately but whenever I bring up the hospital, she would just change the subject.I could see her nipples protruding even though she was wearing one of the thickest shirts I own and her skin looks paler than usual, the outline of her boobs was enough to tell me how big it had gotten.That can’t be normal and not just that but even her favorite food seems to be irritating her now, she hates hearing some kinda voices and even I have to walk on eggshells around her.It’s scary and when I asked AI, it came up with tons of possibilities but the only one that wouldn’t stop ringing in my head is the possibility of pregnancy.She can’t be pregnant now, not when she had asked about what my reaction would be three days ago and I’d completely freaked out.THREE DAYS AGO.“Enzo?” Maeve called and I almost jumped because it was way past midnig
MAEVE HAWTHORN.Taking Enzo’s hand, both of us walked out of the house and he held the door open for me. His hand didn’t leave my thigh until we got to the restaurant.It was luxurious, everything, including the staff screamed excess luxury and I just couldn’t wrap my head around how he keeps finding places like this.Not that I should be surprised but each time I feel like nothing he does could surprise me anymore, he does not only surprise me but turns me on in the process.“What do you think?” Enzo asked as I kept my gaze fixed on the restaurant built like it was a penthouse, no word could have described what I thought.It was magnificent, magical and the interior made me feel like I’d completely left earth and was on another planet.“This way please.” A feminine voice put a halt to my thoughts and I held Enzo even tighter as I followed the waitress to wherever she was leading us to.I could tell this was the VIP section because only a few people were there and the light was dimly-
MAEVE HAWTHORN.“Which do you think I should wear today? I want him to be taken by surprise when he sees me.” I said, holding up two different dresses for Scarlett and Clara to choose.Everyday after that night at the beach has been nothing but bliss, it’s been more than a month now and Enzo and I are still going strong.My closet has been filled up with dresses, hoodies and T-shirts that he either got from me or I stole from him and I just felt like my life had never been better.When I told Scarlett and Clara about the new development, they had the same reaction even though they weren’t together when I told them.“The red one is sexy but I feel like the black is fierce and Enzo would definitely love it on you.” Clara said and Scarlett immediately nodded in agreement.Tonight is date night and he had gone out as usual to make preparations while I stayed back and just got ready for him to come pick me up.The thought of it made my heart flutter and even though I was so sure that nothi
ENZO DE-LUCA.“Why do you have to do this?” Maeve whined, hitting my chest as the tears poured down her cheeks uncontrollably, “I wasn’t prepared to cry tonight.” She added before standing on her tiptoe and slamming her lips against mine.I could feel the salty taste of her tears in my mouth as I kissed her and I closed my eyes to savor every taste of her, to get as much of her as I could possibly get.Wrapping my hands around her waist as she wrapped hers around my neck, I held her tightly, afraid to let go and I was glad that she didn’t try to get away from me.“I love you Enzo De-Luca,” she pulled out of the kiss long enough to say that before hugging me even tighter, “I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!” She yelled so loud, I felt like my eardrums were going to blow up into smithereens.We just stood there, hugging each other and it felt like time stopped and the only sound that could be heard was the soft whoosh of the wind and the ocean.I felt refreshed, like a whole new person w
ENZO DE-LUCA.My eyes darted to my wristwatch and I sighed when I realized that we were already about two hours late to our reservation but I didn’t care.I wanted to spend the night with her doing something that doesn’t really involved fucking her and although I knew just how hard it would be, I knew I had to hold back.“I had about three places reserved for us but we’ve missed the first two, should we just go to the next one instead?” I asked as I got into the car with her.Maeve winced, she wasn’t really comfortable and I could tell that her pussy was already spurting out a mixture of our juices and it would definitely leave a big stain later.“Hmm Hmm.” She nodded, unable to speak as she took a deep breath and with one hand on her lap, I drove out of the building and directly to the beach restaurant I’d booked.It was the most romantic place out of all the three places I booked. I wanted to show and let her know that I was in this with her.I wanted to do something to assure her t
