So yeah. My friend suggested that I should be doing fast paced story, but it's kind of hard especially if you're writing a mafia book. But let's see. ๐ฅฐ I'll try to lessen the description and focus more on dialogues and interaction between characters. I'll try to become a better author and will always accepts constructive criticisms to improve more. โบ๏ธ
They stayed in the safe room for like about an hour. Margarette was too embarrassed to open her mouth and have a conversation with the twins, so she decided to close her eyes. When she opened it, the door had already opened up and Alexander immediately went to his children. "Let's go home," he said in a rather rushed voice. Reezha instantly stood up from sitting on the couch and ran towards her father to give him a hug. While Areesh just calmly stood up from sitting on the map at the fireplace. He nodded his head. "Is everything okay now?" "There's nothing to be worried about, dear. Everything has been taken care of, so let's get back home. I'm sure you two are tired." "Yes, yes. Let's go home!" Reezha said quite eagerly. Margarette just sat there on the single couch and watched their interaction. When Areesh finally exited the room, Alexander glanced at me briefly before he closed the door behind him, leaving her all alone in the quiet and lonely room. She sighed and lowered her
Margarette fell asleep during the 5 hours flight from New York to Los Angeles. When they arrived in the country, it was already past midnight. She could feel her energy draining rapidly that it was too hard for her to keep her eyes open. The last thing she remembered was the pilot announcing that they will be arriving shortly. When she regained consciousness, she was already in a large, dim room. The bed was so soft under her frail body. She yawned and tried to sit up, the strap was slipping through her soft shoulder. She didn't know where she was, but she's certain that they have already arrived at their destination. "So you're finally awake," a voice of a man said, startling her. She looked over her shoulder and saw the back of a man sitting on the bed."Sir...?" she muttered."Husband," he said coldly. "That's how you must address me from now on, wife."She blinked her eyes. Her heart jumped against her chest as the butterflies in her stomach moved. She gulped."Y-Yes... husband,
"What was your life back then?" Xavier didn't know why he asked that. Not that he's interested to know about her life and her past, it just slipped in his mouth and it was too late for him to take it back."My life?" she softly asked. A bitter smile spread across her lips. "I think I've already said it to you before, but my life before was actually too boring. My nannies used to tell me how beautiful the world is. I used to envy them because I wasn't able to come and see it myself."She took a deep breath as the memories flashed through her mind. She remembered her childhood days in Italy where she would spend her days trying to talk to her father and play with him, but her father did not just want to ever see her. Although he supported her with all she needed starting from her health, education, and even all the stuff she wanted, Margarette was never satisfied. She had a lot of toys, beautiful dresses, and even limited edition branded bags and shoesโshe got it all. But that is not wha
A curse escaped his lips as he watched her rubbed herself against his now bulging manhood. He was turned on at the mere sight of her riding him. He loves it when she takes the lead. But it does not feel right. He shouldn't be letting her suffer from the pain she was feeling right now due to the aphrodisiac she had consumed. They're now married, he should be taking good care of his wife and be a good husband.With a groan, he held her waist and switched their position. "Damn, here I was forcing myself to forget that it was basically our honeymoon, but here you are..." he whispered angrily. In a blink of an eye, he tore her clothes off, leaving her with only her panties on. He has been very considerate. He didn't even bother to wake her up earlier even though they should have been spending the night together since they'd just gotten wedded, but then as if the universe is against it, Margarette woke up.And damn if he could still control himself.He leaned down and aggressively kissed he
It was such a long night for the both of them. Their first night as a married couple didn't go to disappointment. They spent it making love until their body eventually gave up and went to sleep.She was as aroused as him. He could blame it on the wine, but he was so horny last night he couldn't control it. He was like a beast with a bitch in heat. Both of them were burned in a flame of lust and desire as they made love a couple of times. Xavier was satisfied beyond his expectation. It was definitely the best night he had ever had. He fucked her until there was no left energy within him. He fucked her until he can no longer cum. "Hmm..." a silent moan suddenly filled the quiet and peaceful room. His brows furrowed whilst his eyes were closed, still sleeping. He could feel something a little heavy moving above him and moaning lightly.His eyes snapped open in realisation. "W-What the..."His lips parted upon seeing her already awake and... moving."Margarette, what do you think you're
"Let's go and finish our meal," he said as he dragged her inside the seemingly romantic cottage for their dinner. She was smiling happily as they both sat down in front of each other across the table filled with various foods. When the chef put down the main dish, Xavier and Margarette began to eat. Margarette kept her composure up even though she was literally starving. She ate with elegance and sophisticationโshowing how much of a wealthy kid she grew up. She probably had taken an etiquette class, Xavier thought.It took them almost an hour to finish eating. They exchanged a few words but they didn't really talk that much. They only focus their attention on their meal which makes their whole dinner quiet, peaceful, and comfortable.When they finished eating a heavy meal, the chef soon delivered their desserts.Her mouth immediately salivated upon seeing the strawberry cake on the table. She gulped and wasted no time taking the cake and took a spoonful of it to her mouth. The sweet f
Margarette was debating whether to push him away or give in. He was kissing her, slowly and carefully; sucking her bottom lip gently before licking it. His hands were on her waist, keeping her in place as he shoved his tongue inside her mouth. She moaned. He tasted like her favourite strawberry cake. His kisses were too different from how he would usually kiss her. He's being gentle today, as if she'll break if he puts pressure on kissing her. She closed her eyes, getting drowned by his kisses. Her weeks wobbled up a little as if he sucked her energy away. He immediately wrapped his arms around her small body and pulled her to him. She arched her back as she tiptoed. The scene was so beautiful and intimate that people who might see them would squeal in adoration. They look like a real couple having an intimate moment.Xavier reluctantly pulled away when he noticed her getting out of breath. When he opened his eyes, it was burning with need. A need to have more of her."The cake didn't
He shut his eyes tight and pinched his nose in frustration. What the hell. What did he think he was doing? He wasn't actually trying to be nice, was he? Anger filled his chest. He was angry at himself. She was nothing to him. She was literally no one in his life. But how did she manage to make him submit to her? She should be the one submitting to him, not the other way around.But Xavier seems to be smitten by her.And he fucking hates it.Frustrated, he stood up and left. He went straight to the pool and took some cigarettes in his pockets. He rarely smokes, only because his mother would definitely scold him if she was still alive. But she was not here, so there was no stopping him. "The fuck..." he chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe he did such a thing. It was still beyond his belief he would do something like that. "I must've gone insane."His phone suddenly rang. A call from an unknown number was calling. His forehead creased. If this is one of his me
Emma left the room to give us some space and privacy. I clenched my fist as the tension between us thicken. I didnโt expect him to be back all of a sudden. Perhaps, it is a good thing as well."I don't want to stay here anymore," I declared with a steely gaze, my determination to leave this house firm in my mind. The sense of betrayal had eroded my trust in everyone around me, leaving me with a deep-seated desire to escape. "I will leave this house," I added, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions within.His eyes sharpened, and the tension in the room heightened as he gritted his teeth. My heart raced, but I maintained a composed exterior, unwilling to let him perceive any vulnerability. "Leave, you say? Ophelia, this is our house," he retorted after a brief pause, his voice laced with controlled intensity as if he were suppressing an inner turmoil. "You cannot leave."โWhy not?โ I hissed, my gaze narrowing into slits as I gritted my teeth. โWhy canโt I leave?โโBecause I donโ

I've already made up my mind. I'll leave this place. I don't think there was a reason to stay. They were all lying to me, blatantly telling me lies that were obvious. They were deceiving me.Staying became increasingly challenging, especially since my husband, the supposed anchor for my presence here, was consistently absent. Despite their claims of my marriage, their inability to provide any evidence, not even a picture from my own wedding, added to my growing sense of disillusionment.I hung around for a while, hopeful that they'd eventually come clean. Unfortunately, that never happened โ not even a bit.It became disheartening and hard to trust anyone.Disappointment settled in, directed at every individual under this roof.Leaving now feels not just necessary but also freeing. Staying doesn't do anything for me anymore. The lies have unraveled, showing a truth that lines up with what I've been feeling.I waited until everyone in the mansion was sound asleep before putting my esca
โMaโam, your husband has already left,โ Emma said, her tone cautious as she addressed me. These days, I wasn't in the best of moods, not because of any lingering sickness, but due to the nagging feeling that something was being kept from me. โHe has left for work, and heโll probably be back a week from now or so.โ I nodded silently, then took a sip of the tea she had prepared for me. The revelation that my husband had left bothered me, but I chose not to show it. Why should I care or worry? After all, he didnโt even come to bid farewell himself, so why should I react as if I were genuinely disappointed. โTell me, Emma,โ I uttered, my tone seeking answers. โWhat were we like as a married couple before I lost my memories?โ Caught off guard, Emma hesitated, her usually composed demeanor faltering for a moment. I closed my eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to steady myself before opening them again to face her. โI-I really didnโt know much, maโam," she admitted, her words coming out
I was back to square one. My husband appeared to be keeping something from me, and I couldn't shake that feeling.When I inquired if he was worried, he didn't respond. Instead, he abruptly left the room, seemingly ignoring my question completely. I felt bewildered and offended. Is he truly my husband? Why isn't he behaving like one?Following that incident, he didn't visit or contact me to check on my well-being. I felt disappointed.But then again, it couldn't be helped.Days passed, and the absence of my husband weighed on me. The unanswered questions and the growing void in our interactions left me grappling with a sense of isolation. I yearned for some connection, for reassurance, but he remained elusive."He hasn't visited or even checked on me. Is this how a husband should act?" I questioned, my voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and sadness.Emma, always composed, offered a reassuring smile. "People cope with difficult situations in different ways, Miss Ophelia. Perhaps
I took a deep breath as I followed him into his office. The man, who claimed to be my husband, seated himself at the desk with casual ease. I stood there, feeling like a fool, waiting for his next command. His expression soured when he saw me hesitating. "What are you doing?" he demanded, his jaws clenching in annoyance. I blinked, my mind still trying to process the overwhelming information he had just laid upon me. I was shocked and utterly disoriented, unable to pull myself together and act with a rational mind. I felt like a leaf, caught in the unpredictable currents of this surreal situation. "What?" he snapped. "Come here." I slowly and reluctantly walked over to his side, my thoughts still swirling with the revelations. When I was close enough, my husband extended his arms towards me. I hesitated, glancing at his outstretched arm. "I won't hurt you, okay? So come here now," he said, annoyance evident in his voice. Biting my lower lip, cheeks burning with embarrassment, I g
Staring into his stunning blue eyes, which revealed no emotion, I couldn't help but notice his tall, masculine figureโundeniably handsome and attractive. Despite his physical perfection, I hesitated to accept him as my husband. In my dreams, the man who claimed that role held me with warmth and tenderness, his gaze filled with affection. The contrast between those dreams and the current reality was stark.The man in front of me felt distant, his demeanor cold and uninviting. An invisible barrier seemed to separate us, making it hard for me to connect the dream figure with the person standing before me. The discrepancy between the dream's warmth and the real-world chill heightened my confusion and left me questioning the authenticity of this man's claim to be my husband.I must have stood there like an idiot for what felt like an eternity. My gaze was fixed on him, my lips parting and closing like a gaping fish. Describing my state as surprised would be a severe understatementโI was ut
It felt as though the world had turned upside down, my head throbbing painfully as I attempted to recall the events that transpired during my time in a coma. The last tangible memory I could grasp was being in... a dark room.And beyond that point, my recollections became an impenetrable fog, leaving me grappling with the disorienting void that stretched between the past and my current state of consciousness.I gazed at the coffee cradled in my hands, its warmth and the sweet aroma wafting up, stirring a nostalgic feeling within me. Yet, my mind struggled to unravel the threads of memory, unable to pinpoint when or where I had last experienced this sensation. Was this scenario familiar, or was it a moment my consciousness had yet to encounter?โItโs time for your medicine now, maโam,โ Emma said as she handed me the pills that I have been taking for a month. Yes, it has been a month, and up until now I was still pondering what really happened, who am I, and where the hell I am. The onl
I jolted awake, gasping for breath, my eyes fluttering open to the harsh reality of my bedroom. Sweat trickled down from my forehead, soaking through the sheets as I grappled with the remnants of a haunting dreamโa nightmare that lingered in my waking mind. As I lay there, heart racing and senses on high alert, I couldn't shake off the lingering unease that the dream left in its wake. The echo of a distant scream, the shadows that danced malevolently in the corners of my mindโeverything felt vivid and disconcerting. I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off the remnants of the nightmare. Yet, the tendrils of fear still clung stubbornly, leaving me with an unsettling awareness that the boundary between dreams and reality was thinner than I had ever imagined. "Good morning," a voice suddenly exclaimed, prompting me to turn my gaze towards its source. There stood a woman in her mid-twenties, adorned in what appeared to be a maid's uniform. A tray laden with breakfast delicacies res
