Elena POV"Elena wait," William says to me, grabbing my wrist in his delicate hold, the smell of hospital detergents filling my nose"Stand here and do what exactly William?" I raise a brow at him, facing him squarely pulling my hand from his hold.William, my husband's brother, one of the wealthiest men in the city, brought me to the hospital as I was feeling unwell, being married to his brother, he had brought me here more than Dameon my husband had, so it was natural.I was directed to the Antenatal ward with news of my pregnancy, it was a miracle, Daemon and I had hardly shared a bed in the one year of marriage, he only touched me on the days he was drunk, but he had told me it was because he had developed a medical condition after college due to age and revealing it to the world would be embarrassing for him, so we kept this information to ourselves but standing here now in the lobby of the hospital and William breaking such news to me is shocking, it's a simple lie."You know I
Elena POV"What did you just say?" he says his brows low, his frown deeper than before"It's something to be happy about Honey," I say walking forward, trying my best to convince him."Don't call me that!!, I've told you before" he shouts, calming down once he realizes we are in his office, he paces the room, mumbling words to himself in anger."I don't know why you're not ready to have kids, this is a blessing Daemon" I place my hands on my belly walking forward but his harsh eyes halt me in my tracks."Shut up!!, I told you we will only have kids till you sign over your shares at Royal Inc. to me, I am your husband and I deserve to take care of those shares for you, it's the single thing, I've asked you to do, and you've been unable to for years!!" he shouts turning away and seating on his seat, spinning to the side, his fingers under his chin."I would if I could, but the shares have a clause, must only be of the Royal blood, I have to get permission from Grandpa and he won't do it
Elena's POVBeep.Beep.Beep, the sound fills my ears, my head drumming badly, and my, eyes squint open, immediately shocking me as the blinding sun from the window blocks my vision.The machines strapped to me, continue to make louder sounds, making two women in scrubs rush in, followed by a man in a white coat."Who-' are'" I say my throat dry, my speech coming out as a groan."We are here to help you dear" One of the nurses comes to my side, with a cup of water in hand, she hands it to me helping me gulp down the water relatively fast."More?" she asks turning to me, her image becoming clearer"Who are you? Where am I?" and I turn around looking at the people around me, my mind blank of memory, "Who am I" I say to them and immediately, murmurs fill the room, they quickly monitor my chart, looking confused"Hello?" Is anyone going to answer me?"I frown trying to raise my body but I feel droopy immediately plastering myself on the bed back.One of the nurses is first to speak, "You are
ELENA POVThe drive to the city is quiet, I turn to the window, blinding lights filling my eyes."You don't have to answer now Elena, I trust nobody with this contract but you, it's really urgent, if I don't marry in a few days, I will lose my grandfather's inheritance to my cousin, and he will misuse it, my family will be on the streets" he frowns deeply, his voice deep and convincing.I frown, pursing my lips, my eyes narrowed at him, "Alex, I don't really know, I just met you, I hardly remember who I am, I can't just marry you" I shake my head confused, my previous erotic thoughts of him wiping from my memory, this man just shocked me with his proposal.He nods the car coming to a stop in front of a hotel, "Here we are, let's get you settled in" he leads me out of the car, the top of the hotel says D'luxury.Soon I'm settled in a hotel room, Alexander leaning on the chair opposite me. "I'm going to give you a few hours to think about my offer, if you agree, we will get married at a
Alexander POV"Look at you Alex, finally being a man huh?" Reed my cousin laughs deeply from across me"I'm not speaking to you Reed, I'm speaking to the lawyer" I turn away from him, "Mr. Chambers, give me a few more days, and my wife will be present right here, we are very happy together," I say gritting my teeth."I understand you Alex, but your grand-father was clear with his will, if you are not married to a woman you love wholeheartedly and confirmed by I and your mother, the property as well as the Bianchi Cartel will all be transferred to your cousin Reed, who is already married with an heir" he sighs, "I can't do anything about it unless you provide one in five days""Could be magic, Alex can't seem to keep a woman around him for long, they always run away screaming" Reed laughs deeply"The Bianchi Cartel has been flourishing under my rule this entire time, Reed will run it into the ground, The mafia is something we need to handle delicately, Mr. Chambers, you know that"Reed
CHAPTER SIXAlexander POVI catch her in my arms before she falls face flat on the floor, “Elena, wake up” I tap her shoulders, the driver pulling the door open“We will get you to the hospital in no time,” I tell her unmoving body, the elevator door pings as a man walks in, closing it as we drive away, we are almost at the hospital when her groggy voice fills my ears.“What, what's happening” she stammers, her eyes pulling open, rubbing her head as I try to help her up.“Are you okay Elena?” my fingers grab her chin, my face close to hers“I’m fine I think” she backs away, “what happened? Where are we going?”“You fainted,” I say as the car comes to a stop in front of the hospitalShe frowns “Yeah, everything turned white and I just fell” she winches turning to the hospital building “I don't want to go there” She turns to me eyes wide in panic.“That's fine, but you need to rest” I make her comfortable, my forehead scrunched in worry.“The wedding, we still have to do it” She rises
ELENA POV “Bianchi cartel?” I say shocked “Cartel, what do you mean cartel?” “Drango, stop the car and step outside,” he tells the driver and immediately in front of some house, the car comes to a stop and he pulls the door open heading outside in a flash. “What's happening? Why did he have to step out?” I turn to him a deep frown on my face to express my worry. “My family, we are not as simple as we turn out to be, I’m Alexander Binachi and I am the Don of the Mafia group Red Fang, the Binachi cartel” he pauses “My family started it years back and my marriage to you today, solidifies my inheritance and my claim as the Don” “And this is why we had to rush the wedding so fast?” shock courses through me, “have you.. have you killed someone?” I whisper leaning forward, interested in what his reply would be. His eyes fill with concern but he nods, “Yes, but I promise this to you Elena you will be safe forever in my care, even after the marriage contract ends, you will be highl
Elena POV“I’m Elena, but I guess you already know that “ I send her a smile grabbing her fingers in mine in a handshake.She raises a brow at me, “You are all I have heard about for years” She giggles but her words are halted by Alex approaching us from behind.I frown at that, ”For years what do you mean by that?” I ask confused as we have only known each other for barely a few days.“Sophia” Alex taps her shoulder, “Your mother needs you” he raises a brow at her“Fine fine, alright” she rolls her eyes standing up “Congratulations on your wedding you two, I would love to have brunch with you tomorrow” She turns to me fingers pointed and a wide smile on her face, she turns away her eyes meeting with her mother and her smile immediately drops “What did she mean by that?” I raise a brow at him as he takes a seat beside me, the entire room goes back to whatever they were doing, occasionally turning their eyes to us and going back to gossip about whatever“It's nothing, Sophia can be qu
ELENA POV“Alex” I call out his name almost breathless “I will give you two some space,” Sophia says a quirky look on her face and a smirk on her lips as she walks past Alex.“I didn't mean-” I start to say but Alex crosses the length between us, his fingers brushing through my hair and his arms pull me closer to his arms just like in the bathroom.He smirks his lips meeting with mine immediately, the soft lips mesh with mine so softly, that my body immediately merges with him and my arms move across his body pulling him closer to my formMy lips move across his so sweetly as I take in his scent, his lips taste like mint as they merge further with mine.“Hmmm Bidda Mia” he moans across my lips, the deep voice vibrating through my entire body, goosebumps cover my form and I almost dont want to let him go as he pulls back softly. “Are you sure you dont want to be intimate with me ?” he lifts a brow at me, his finger slowly brushing my swollen lipI look up at him wide-eyed, my heart p
ELENA POVI shrug and she turns to me with a weird expression on her face.“You dated Alex for so long and not once did you not see a black card?” She frowns confused “I never looked or asked” I sigh, “can I try on the next dress or will you tell me what that is?” I raise a brow in her directionShe sighs shooing me into the dressing room to change, “A black card is an unlimited card, only the top members of the Bianchi family have them, I used to be a part of it” She laughs through the doors I change into the next dress, almost similar in style but this one in red which seems to fit me more especially with my now short black hair.“So what happened to yours?” I spin in the mirror actually enjoying the shopping experience “Well let’s just say trying to purchase a private Jet and a yacht on the same day is a nightmare for Alex” she laughs as I push the door open to reveal the dress.“Oh this is pretty, you could wear this for the monthly garden brunch with the mafia ladies” she smil
ELENA POV “And look what the cat dragged in,” Sophia says her tone bitter as her eyes settle on the women The woman in the middle who seems so familiar with long blonde hair steps forward, “Sophia,” she spits with an irritated tone; “And what did you say your name was again?” She turns to me with a brow lifted My frown deepens as my eyes move across her face and finally, I can place her face, she’s Reed’s wife, Alex cousins wife. I smirk turning to Sophia, “Who did you say she was again?” I lift a brow at her, a genuinely concerned look on my face. She laughs, “She’s not important, there’s no need to think too much about her” She rolls her eyes turning back to the dress in her hands Freya’s cronies all look to her for some sought of reply as we completely ignore her. “Hey!! Elena!!, I’m speaking to you” she yells moving forward “Oh so you do know my name but you just choose to somehow try and disrespect me” I turn to her my tone harsh and my eyes narrowed tightly at her She
ELENA POV“I don’t know, I’m not sure anymore,” he says simply taking a step back in fear I sigh, taking a step back, I turn to Alex with an annoyed look on my face, “let’s go” I say walking past him, my heels hitting the floorboards I step outside to spotting the car and Alex comes up behind me, “You know this is your opportunity to get revenge right?” He lifts a brow at me pulling open the car door.“I know but I’m not interested anymore, we will be late for the auction tonight if we keep this up,” I say sliding into the car.He turns around sliding into the driver's seat and I watch in shock.“Your drivers?” I lift a brow at him“Before that idiot ruined your mood, I wanted us to go on a short drive, something to calm you before the auction party tonight,” he says starting the car, turning his eyes to me slightly I shake my head in a No gesture, “I don’t want to go, I need to head to your family mansion, go shopping with Sophia, find a dress to the approval of your mother for th
ELENA POV All eyes move to the door, Alex leans on the door with a dangerous look in his eyes, a look I have never seen except at the shipping docks. I take a deep breath about to say something when Dante Smith the idiot, who I assume doesn’t know who Alex Bianchi is.A cold, ruthless, and dangerous man. “And you are?” The idiot continues lifting a brow at Alex, his voice hostile, trying too hard to be dominant But Alex's aura immediately fills the room as he walks further in, the manager immediately starts to sweat, and the waitresses from before watching with wide eyes. And the idiot? Well, he continues talking. “Is this bitch yours?” He turns slightly to me his eyes moving back to Alex. Alex's fingers roll into a fist and the punch comes so fast that nobody expects it. The waitresses gasp and the manager goes on his knees immediately “Alex!!” I yell out in shock He straightens up smoothly, dusting the imaginary dust from his suit with class, his cold demeanor is
ELENA POV I look around me confused, is he speaking to me? “Yes dear you, I was just wondering when God sent an angel to come watch me” he smirks leaning on the mirror In front of me with his arms crossed over each other. “I can assure you, I am not an angel” I whisper spinning around and ignoring him. From how he is dressed I can already tell the kind of man he is, a rich and pompous playboy who thinks the world revolves around him. “Are you ignoring me?” He turns to me, a brow raised, “You can’t possibly ignore me” he spits his eyes in slits. “Don’t you know who I am?” He frowns, turning around to confirm from the waitresses from before but they both look on, laughing and gossiping between themselves. He sighs turning to me, “Since you don’t know me, I am Dante Smith, heir to the Smith Enterprise” he smirks pulling out his hand for a handshake “I am not interested sorry” I roll my eyes tucking my hair behind my ear, where is Alex, he should be here anytime soon. “Excuse me?
ELENA POV “Where did you learn to race like that?” Alex pants running closer to me a confused expression on his face. I laugh loudly, “I absolutely have no idea, but I won clearly, fair and square” I turn my eyes to meet his He nods, “Well what do you want? I will grant you anything” he smirks folding his arms across each other, the muscles bulging, distracting me for a bit. I lick my bottom lip, “I will think about it” He nods walking closer to me, the smell of his perfume filling my nostrils. “Alex” I call out his name, my eyes narrowed at him, the closer he gets to me, the more I get attracted to him. My heart pounds as he steps into my personal space, his fingers grips my chin, turning my eyes up at him, “Let’s have lunch okay?” He raises a brow at me with a coy smile playing on his lips. I heave a sigh of relief as I walk backward, I thought he was going to kiss me again and confuse all my thoughts like he did this morning. I nod, following behind him. We take a short
ELENA POV “How was your appointment?” Alex walks towards the door pulling it open My eyes meet with his, my heart drumming in my chest, his sweet smile and need to protect me, always did something to me, he makes my heart pound in ways I never thought it would. But at the same time, I’m scared this will all be temporary, what will happen when I get my memory back, what if I have a family? A husband? Children? I sigh removing the thoughts from my mind, turning back to Alex. “Are you okay?” He frowns raising a brow at me I nod quickly, “So what is this plan you said you have for us after my appointment?” I send him a smirk following him outside “It’s a surprise Princess” he smirks pulling open the car door for me I smile sweetly pushing myself into the car, he turns around, sliding into the seat next to me. “Where to sir?” The driver turns to us. “The tracks” Alex's face turns cold again, giving him more instructions My eyes move to him noticing his features, he is quite
Elena POV “Madame Bianchi, and what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?” I send her a short cautious smile but still annoyed by the stunt she pulled yesterday. “You will be attending a very important event with Alex soon, either you take Sophia with you for shopping or I can direct you to some boutiques the women in our family visit, the event is going to have in attendance very important people that you need to impress” she spits out the entire sentence in one breath, rotating around me as she speaks. “I think I can figure out my own clothing choices” I grip her arm stopping her rotation, “I don’t think that’s the only thing you came to tell me all the way here though, am I right?” I raise a brow at her, my eyes filled with questions. “Hmmm” she shrugs, looking at me from top to bottom, “That will be all” she mutters walking away, her guards by the door joining her. “What a strange lady” I fold my arms across each other Alex comes up behind me as he pulls on his dark
