Throne of Blood TOB 14: TEMPTATION BEGINS
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: TEMPTATION BEGINS ETHAN POVRose vowed to kick me in the balls, so I fully expected that. I'm ready to grab her knee already. Drunk Rose looks at me with sadness in her eyes and points with a sharp edge at my chest.I'm not sure why I let her get intoxicated in the first place, given that I knew she would become even more erratic and liberated after consuming alcohol. On the way here, I catch a glimpse of the carefree young woman she was when her mother was a girl who didn't give a damn about social conventions or what people thought of her.She asks, not attempting to get her wrists out from under my hold, "Why do you know I like black?""Do you think that just because I left, I forgot?"She slams her eyes shut hard before saying, "You should. That's how it's supposed to be."Before opening them once more. Her lower lids are wet this time. I wiped her eyes with my finger, claiming her tears as my own. Everything she has will now belong to me, even her wrath, tears,

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: BLAME IT TO THE WATERROSE AMARA POVMy eyes flutter open as right slaps me in the face. Someone shut off the lights. When a sharp pain develops in the back of my head."I didn't know you swung that way," he said.I pause as I hear a loud voice coming from my right. It's not far. Too near, as if…Oh, God.My head is indeed resting on a firm bicep as I gently look up. Ethan's. My voice rises as I struggle against my headache to ask."What the hell are you doing in my room?"He lifts my hand, revealing the diamond ring on my finger and the band around his, saying, "You are in my room, Princess."Those rings. the wedding. the assault. My head swings and everything smacks back into me. Oh my god. F*ck. On the night of our wedding, I binge-drank with
Throne of Blood TOB 16: PRINCESS PUNISHMENT?
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: PRINCESS PUNISHMENT?ROSE AMARA POVI close my eyes and lean against the wall to block out whatever is going on inside of me. I try to divert my thoughts by imagining what I will do today, including checking on the house, reading reports, speaking with Hades about the attack and making a plan to know who is all behind this.A hand wraps around my throat from behind as a hot body looms at my back. Eyes widening, I gulp on the water but make no attempt to move.I can't.I am unable to move a single muscle because they are all tense. "You might as well save your energy next time," he said, "because I'll barge through any door you lock."My chest heaves as I sense something challenging and ready at the crack of my ass as he presses his hips forward.He splits my ass cheeks and asks, "Now, about th
Throne of Blood TOB17: PUNISHMENT IT IS
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: PUNISHMENT IT ISROSE AMARA POVIt's a sex toy.I gave the object in Ethan's hand a blank stare. The first time, I didn't see it incorrectly. The odd shape has a long end and a short one. I have no idea what that is, because I have never really used vibrators and have always been comfortable using just my own fingers.I only know that there is no way that device will ever come close to me.I try to push Ethan away, but he easily holds me imprisoned between his legs with his hard grip around my waist, saying, "You're out of your mind if you think I will let you use that thing on me."“It's the punishment you requested, even though you will enjoy it, so it's not really a punishment.”He runs his finger along my side while his lips twitch at the corner. It nearly feels as though he is caressing me directl
Throne of Blood TOB 18: SOMETHING MOVES
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: SOMETHING MOVESROSE AMARA POVIt is not desired to enter the residence oddly. Ethan forced changes into me with each stride I took, causing friction that I wished to think was terrible but not. We made a detour at the mall because I did not intend to let anyone see me without makeup or wearing some clothes. Dirty clothes. My hair is now wrapped back in a bun, with makeup, and wearing a short dark gray dress. Even a heavy foundation couldn't hide the hickey on my neck, which had turned dark blue, so I had to get a set of necklaces.When I approached Ethan outside, he gave me an irritated look. What right does he have to treat me that way after the excruciating pain he's giving me with the toy?"Something bothering you, Princess?" It takes everything I have not to whip around and slap him across the face to get rid of that arrogant tone. He is having a great time torturing me."Away from me," he said."No, that won't do. Remember, we got married yesterday."Why did
Throne of Blood TOB 19: OH NO!
CHAPTER NINETEEN: OH NO!ROSE AMARA POVMy eyes fluttered at Ethan across the table as they widened. Although there is no noise, stimulation is undoubtedly present, and he certainly contributed to this by sitting with one hand holding a drink and the other tucked under the table.In seconds, my underwear feels drenched, and any wriggling simply worsens the friction.Nathan notices the fidgeting and asks with real concern, "Are you okay?"I hope he does not inform me that something reddened my face.I mumbled, "I-I'm fine," with some embarrassment.Ethan pretends to be very interested in Father despite my attempts to meet his eyes. Even as he speaks, his angular features remain calm and carefree.I added to make sure of it that Min Hao hasn’t had stronger relationships with the Yakuza than anyone here, and they seemed to be convinced.I try to concentrate on him rather than the buzzing inside of me, but the stimulation makes it nearly difficult. It feels like Ethan has his fingers insi
Throne of Blood TOB 21: THE PLAN B
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: PLAN BETHAN'S POVHades is down there in his automobile, I discover. As I go in close behind him, he raises his chin in greeting. But we need to go straight away. He checks the window to make sure all of his guards are posted.Given that he is reputed to be cautious, it is not surprising. Thanks to his quiet strategic nature, he is one of the strongest, if not the deadliest, cornerstones of the Company.He inquires, "Where are your guards?"I don't require them.His bright grey eyes had a slight flicker. A gloomy, foggy sky mutes them, but they are fierce, complicated, and ruthless. It's odd how they enhance his brutal nature. Though he doesn't frequently display it, the game is finished when he does.He stands apart from the other leaders in terms of appearance. His beard and jet-black hair are al

CHAPTER TWENTY: PLAN AROSE AMARA POVThey charge at us—or, more specifically, at me. I was curious until I noticed the silhouettes of Eya and Zeth in front of my chamber. I hid my face in Ethan's shirt so they wouldn't see me in this predicament. They'll think I'm weak, since weak individuals can't survive.Even though he's the reason I started off this way, Ethan offers on my behalf, "Rose feels a little under the weather. I will put her to bed," and I appreciate it."Should we take her to the hospital?" Eya asks.Zeth declares as he starts to go, "I'll bring the car."“There is no need,” Ethan added, pointing to them.“You should go down…she will call if she needs your help.”They seem uncertain, but after I nod, they acquiesce and proceed to the stairs. I ch

CHAPTER NINETYETHAN’S POVHe really didn’t follow.I stand on the balcony for several minutes in case he shows up, but there’s no trace of him.None at all. No call. No text.I stare at the letter he left me that I tucked in my bag. Is that the last I’ll see of him? Really?I ought to kick his ass for everything he made me go through. I gave him all the reasons to come back and at least talk to me. I went to him. I didn’t remove the wedding ring. I didn’t tell him he was an idiot for thinking that leaving is the solution.I did it all, but he didn’t even follow.Fvck him.I’m about to go take a shower when commotion comes from outside my room.My heartbeat skyrockets and I nearly trip over my feet as I swing the door open.It’s not Ethan ’s face that greets me. Instead, it’s Zeth and Eya arguing with Lia, telling her she can’t go inside.“What’s going on?” I try to hide the disappointment in my tone.“You said not to disturb you, miss,” Zeth says, “but Mrs. Volkov insists on seeing y

CHAPTER EIGHTY- NINEETHAN’S POV“Fvck!”I kick Rolan’s lifeless body. Even the arsehole’s death doesn’t feel as victorious as I thought it would.Rose disappeared down the hall with that fvcker Vladimir. He’ll have even more of an opening to be beside her now that I’m not there, which has been his purpose all along.Motherfvcker.“She has you by the balls. I’m disappointed.” Fire leans against the doorframe and places a cigarette in his mouth, but instead of lighting it, he keeps flipping his lighter on and off. His Beware of Fire Hazard tattoo peeks out from underneath his sleeve with the movement.“Shut the fvck up, Fire. He almost clipped my nails from my sniper hand, Godfather!”“It didn’t happen.” Fire pauses flipping his lighter.I narrow my eyes. “You wanted to do it.”“But I didn’t. And stop moaning to Ghost like a little kid.”“I’m going to—”“Enough.” Godfather sighs, staring down at me. “Do you have the time to bicker with Fire right now? Shouldn’t you go after your wife?”

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT ROSE AMARA ’S POVI did it.I’m in the Irish’s club, which Rolan has a back office in.It hasn’t been an individual effort. Thanks to Julian and his acquaintance with Ethan ’s insider with the Irish, we were able to figure out the location.While River was completely against handing over territories, he said he’d turn a blind eye if I took his men and came here.I had to beg Vlad to help, and it wasn’t easy since he doesn’t like Ethan . The growly mountain of a man only softened when I mentioned the baby and that I don’t want him to grow up fatherless.Damien agreed to help because, in his words, “It should be fun.”I asked Kirill for his intel help because he has the best spies. He was the hardest to crack, and only agreed when I gave him an oath in front of Sasha that no one except for the three of us will know of her true gender. Well, Ethan already knows somehow, but I’m not the one who told him.Igor sent men, too, but Adrian has been MIA today. Even his clo

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN ETHAN’S POVMum’s words from the nightmare slam back to me. Could it be a warning about the truth?“Who is he?” I ask Rolan. “Who’s my father?”He releases a long laugh that echoes in the space around us. “Ah. Isn’t this grand? Ye lived with the Russians for years and still didn’t recognize yer father? A bastard is a bastard, after all.”“Who the fvck is he?”“Don’t ye worry, my lad. I already called him and gave him evidence that ye’re his boy, so if he does want ye, he’ll show up. Though, I doubt anyone wants a filthy bastard whose only use is killing from the shadows.”“Was he the one from that night? The one who came when my mother tried to escape?”“Probably. Yer mother was smart, but not fast enough. My idiot brother promised to protect her and ye, but she knew I’d kill ye both the first chance I got, so she decided to leave. But that didn’t turn out grand for her, did it?”“I’m going to kill you,” I mutter through clenched teeth. “I don’t care how or when,

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXETHAN’S POV“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I’m so sorry.”Mam? Where are you?The place is pitch-black like a cave. It smells rotten too, as if a dead animal is decomposing inside it. My legs get lost in something sticky underneath, but I can’t see it.I can’t see anything except for darkness.The sound of weeping gets louder the more I walk. It’s my mother. I’d recognize the sound anywhere, even though it’s been thirty years.“Mam? Where are ye?” I don’t know why I’m speaking in a Northern Irish accent, but all of a sudden, it feels as if I’m back to being that small boy. The only difference is that I’m trapped in a grown-up’s body. “Mam!”The only answer is the sound of weeping. It’s long and wretched as if her grief is clawing out from the grave.“Mam, come out. I can protect ye now. No one will hurt ye.”The weeping ceases and a rustle comes from right in front of me. I halt, the sound of the sticky mud under my feet stopping too.The darkness slowly dissipates like fo

CHAPTER EIGHTY - FIVEROSE AMARA'S POVAfter knocking on the office’s door, I open it and step inside. I pause when I find an unknown man sitting across from my granduncle.“Rose. Come in.” Uncle River motions at me to join him, so I close the door and do just that, bluntly watching the new man.He appears to be in his mid to late forties. His large frame dwarfs his dark suit. His brown hair is styled back, and he's sitting nonchalantly. It's not so threatening as to attract attention, but it's not slack either, like he's ready to jump up any second. It's so similar to… Ethan's.Tattoos cover the backs of his hands, and they don’t appear like the ones I recognize from the Bratva, the Triads, or the Yakuza.He's watching me as intently as I'm watching him, like we're two predators before a fight over who owns a territory.“This is Rose.” Uncle River introduced me.“So she’s the one Ethan married.” the stranger observes quietly. British accent. Wait, could he be…“Are you…Ethan’s…”“God

CHAPTER EIGHTY - FOURETHAN'S POVMiss Amber,I know you hate it when I call you that, but I need the distance right now to write this.The first time I met you, I thought you were just another spoilt mafia princess, but I found you to be a strict bean. You didn't let anyone tell you what to do and stood up for yourself. You didn't stop there and made it your mission to help those weaker than you, even if it meant going against people with more influence than you.Here's the thing—I didn't plan to get close or to learn about you as much as I have. My sole mission then was to use Nikolai's intel to watch my uncle's movements from afar.At one point, that mission started to blur. At one point, the only reason I looked forward to new days wasn't my grand revenge plan but you.The more time I spent with you, the harder you tore at my armor and engraved yourself deeper. The more I saw, the blurrier my purpose became, the more insignificant I felt. Watching you go after your goals without h

CHAPTER EIGHTY - THREEETHAN'S POVthe splitting headache is the least of my problems when I stare at the woman lying on her stomach on the bed.A galaxy of bruises covers her hips, arms, thighs, arse, and even around the snake tattoo on her spine.Fvck.I spring awake as memories of last night trickle back in. What the fvck have I done? If it weren't for her back's steady rise and fall, I would think I'd killed her or something.Bloody hell.I shouldn't have touched her when I was drunk. The reason I don't get drunk isn't only because I lose my inhibitions but also because I can't control myself. There's no stop or even pause button in that state.Not that I've ever had those buttons when it comes to Rose. Whenever I recalled my decision, I fvcked her more, owned her more, and was nothing short of a madman.I can’t believe I took her on the floor over and over like a fvcking animal. She’s already too fragile and easily bruises by a simple touch. How could I let my beast side take com

CHAPTER EIGHTY - TWOROSE AMARA’S POVI'm lying completely flat on the carpet with my back to him. I stare back at him as he yanks open his drawer. He'll bring out a toy, but I should've known better. Ethan might like to torture me with them, but he doesn't want them involved during sex. I prefer him to them, anyway.He retrieves a bottle of lube and a condom and doesn't bother to close the drawer. Wait. A condom? Ethan never used them, so I didn't even know he had one.Besides, what’s the use of a condom when he’s already gotten me pregnant?He removes his shirt, revealing his stiff muscles and the tattoos rippling on his abs. I don't dare look away or move. I'll be missing something crucial if I do.Ethan throws his shirt away and stalks behind me like a hungry predator about to devour his prey. I follow him with my gaze until he kneels between my parted legs.He places a hand under my stomach and lifts me up so I'm slightly bent over on my knees. The position differs from anything
