ANASTASIA Having a clear goal in mind, I no longer felt miserable, there was no way Stefano would remain married to me once I was done with my ultimate plan, a sly grin crossed my lips when I finished sketching in my notepad, I had just finished writing the ' How To Make Stefano Divorce Me' list. The first item on the list was to empty his bank card, part of it was to get revenge for the way he fucking teased me last night, I couldn't wait to see how pissed off he would get when I was done. I went in search of Ennio, seeing the mischievous gleam on my face, Ennio's hands went in the air. " Mrs De Luca, what are you planning this time around" I rolled my eyes innocently, trying so hard to hide my anticipation. " I'm not planning anything, Stefano gave me his credit card and told me I could get anything I want, I want to go shopping" " Mrs De Luca, are you sure you're not planning anything " Ennio inquired, unconvinced. " Of course not, don't you trust me?" My phone be
ANASTASIA " You did what?" Stefano growled, and a dark chill swept over his face. "Was that why you've been smiling sweetly at him huh" Before I could blink, he whipped out a gun, my heart lurched when he pointed it straight at Ennio. " Don.I don't know why she got them for me, nothing is going on between us" It was the first time this big guy would stutter on his words. Stefano's icy green eyes settled on me, under his impaling gaze, I tried so hard to remain unfazed, unlike him, I wasn't the one having someone cling to me like a leech. " Keep the gun away from him" I gritted out, even though I aimed to provoke him, I wasn't going to use Ennio as cannon fodder. A muscle ticked in his jaw and he aimed the gun at Ennio's heart. " I don't think I've made it clear enough Anastasia, you're fucking mine and if you do as much as smile at any man, I'll kill him in front of you" His hands tightened on the trigger, I rushed to shield Ennio but someone else beat me to it, as t
ANASTASIA It's been four days and all my plans to make Stefano divorce me had backfired one after the other but today I was determined to make it happen. " Mrs De Luca, you look gorgeous" Angelica gushed as I turned around in the dressing room, I was dressed in a stunning black gown with a white fur coat on top, and a three-layered diamond necklace adorned my neck. " Thank you," I said with a smile, even though her injury hadn't fully healed, she insisted on remaining at my side, for her comfort, I had gotten her a wheelchair to use until she could resume walking-- technically Ennio had gotten it but I insisted on letting him buy it with Stefano's card, it was his irrationality that got her in this position in the first place. " Signor Ennio asked me to deliver these to you" One of the maids walked in with a parcel in her hands. Ennio was now security in one of Stefano's warehouses but he hadn't stopped his habit of sending me milkshakes and pastries, but now, it wasn't jus
ANASTASIA My grip on Stefano's hand tightened and I struggled to breathe, Adrian Volkova, the man who haunted my entire childhood was here in Italy." Is everything alright Bellisma"Stefano's voice managed to pull me out of my dark thoughts and I nodded." I'm fine, I just need a drink" " Don't stray too far from my sight" Stefano warned, since I hadn't gotten a new bodyguard yet, I had to stick with him but was determined to do the exact opposite.A day has passed since the deadline I was given by the monster, he hadn't reached out to me and it made me uneasy, it's like the calm before the storm and when the storm comes, it destroys everything in its path. Alexei's life was in danger and tonight was all I had to save him.I knew it was rude to ignore Dino's greeting but I was too desperate to care, I brushed past him, heading to the nearest waiter to grab two glasses of alcohol, everyone's eyes watched me and murmurs ensued as I downed its contents one after the other. I grabbed
ANASTASIA " No one must find out you're not a virgin! Stefano De Luca must believe that you're pure and untouched!!" I eyed the little red pills in my hand and stared at the monster who gave them to me, most people call the parental male figure in their life, dad or father but I've always addressed mine as 'monster' That was all Igor Sidorov would ever be to me. " You think he'll be fooled by a fake hymen? everyone knows I'm a sex addict, it's all over the news" The monster's eyes darkened at my words, his hands gripped my chin so hard that it hurt. " You piece of shit! You're a stain to the Sidorov family name!!" My back almost hit the wall as he shoved me backward, my eyes stung with tears but I refused to let them fall. " You will keep your end of the bargain and I'll keep my word, if you do anything stupid, you won't see that little bastard anymore!!" I blinked back tears before nodding slowly. " I won't do anything stupid, the wedding will go as planned as lon
STEFANO' I want you to fuck me'The words went straight to my groin.I should have known something was off when Igor Sidorov offered to give me his second daughter in place of Nina.Nina Sidorov would have made the perfect mafia bride, the one who wouldn't speak unless she was asked to, she would have been ideal but boring.The moment I saw Anastasia's picture, I knew she was different, from her fiery red hair and her cat-like green eyes, I knew she was nothing but trouble." I'm waiting"Anastasia's sultry voice brought me back to the present, without preamble, she slammed her lips against mine, the kiss was electrifying and all-consuming, sending a jolt of arousal straight to my cock, as her lips moved tentatively against mine, I wanted nothing more than to devour her whole.Her cheeks were flushed and rosy when she broke the kiss, I noticed the way she stumbled and I scooped her into my arms, her legs wrapped around my back, underneath her sheer silk gown, her taut nipples brushed
ANASTASIA Stefano's eyes clouded with rage and I took two steps back in fear, I expected him to slap me, mafia men are always prone to violence.Instead, he only swiped his lips with his thumb, sucking on the blood with a smirk on his face." We should take pictures"Stefano said I shook my head " I don't want to "" Be a good girl, Bellisma, we should let everyone believe we're madly in love, shouldn't we?"I glared at him as he dragged me to take our wedding photos, as he placed his hand on the small of my back, I was painfully aware of how close he was, his pine and leather scent wafted across my nostrils as we took each pose, whenever his hand touched me, it made me burn with heat.I was frustrated at how my own body was betraying me, last night was a mistake." Miss. I mean Mrs De Luca, could you please smile"The cameraman begged.I deepened my scowl, the monster glowered at me from his seat but I didn't waver, I was forced into this marriage so why should I smile like a fool
ANASTASIA " What's wrong?" Stefano asked as I walked towards the car. " Nothing!" I said flippantly. " Don't try lying to me, I can tell there's something wrong!" He growled. I hated the way he could tell I wasn't fine, I hated the way he was trying to get under my skin. " What's wrong is that I'm leaving my fucking country, my friends, everything and everyone I know behind to follow you to God knows where! That's what's fucking wrong!!" Instead of joining him in the middle seat, I opened the backseat door, there's a man seated inside, he was almost the same build as Stefano, and his light chestnut hair and light brown eyes lessened most of his domineering aura. He smiled, extending a hand at me. " I'm Ennio, the Don appointed me as your bodyguard" " I don't need a bodyguard!" " I'm sorry but I can't go against the Don's orders, you'll need someone to protect you at all times and I promise to always be at your side" " Whatever" I rolled my eyes. " Here" He handed me
