ERICA

I fell asleep sometime in the early hours of the morning and woke up sometime during the noon, but the room was still shrouded in the dark. And when I turned on my side, for a moment fear gripped me when I found the bed empty as I started to worry if something happened when I was sleeping and they took Antonio to the hospital without waking me up. But as I sat up, my frantic eyes found him sitting on the chair with a long back near the window where he was gazing out from the corner of the window where the curtain was pulled aside.

Waiting for my heart to calm down, I sat there and watched him. He was in his shirt and pants, his face looked drawn and his posture sad, almost forlorn. I slipped out of the bed and tried to make as little noise as I could to not startle him as I made my way to his side.

I wanted to touch him, to check his fever and also to feel him but instead I settled on the chair opposite him only to freeze when he turned his muted brown eyes on me. I sat there lo

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   16. You are not weak

    ERICAMario entered the bedroom with a breakfast tray and behind him I could see Ephraim. “You can come inside, Ephraim.” Antonio said, probably coming to the same conclusion like I did as I remembered that apart from Mario any other man resembles his father when he slips into his past. But right now Antonio was no longer stuck in his past, which I was grateful for as seeing him tortured by his past memory had made my heart hurt.At Antonio’s invitation Ephraim entered and while both him and Mario asked Antonio if he was okay and Mario literally turned into a mother hen, the way he fawned over him, I excused myself to go to the bathroom so I could freshen up and wash off the night.It was only after taking the shower when I was tying a bathrobe around myself and dropping the wet towel in the hamper that I saw the clothes already there. Antonio’s clothes, in which he had come home and hadn’t let me see him. I pushed the dark jacket aside to have a clear look at the white shirt beneath

    ERICAI didn’t give him an answer, I couldn’t. Because it surprised me how easily the answer popped up in my mind and came to the tip of my tongue. Instead I told him to not hide from me. His ruthlessness was not directed on me but it was for me and it was surprising how much I loved it. I wanted to see it again and again, and revel in it. The feeling of it was so euphoric that I wanted to experience that high again. And I didn’t want him to think that he has to hide himself or any part of him from me. The only thing I was afraid of was the coming week. Because it would mark the end of our deal, our decided ten weeks after which he would allow me to return home. But... now, I didn’t want to. Not really. I only wanted to return back to my sister to erase her worries so I could come back to him on my own. And I was worried that, after ten days to be exact, he will be the one to ask me to leave then how would I come back. I’d like to think that he wouldn’t do any such thing considering t

    Erica“Heyyy...” I crouched down to pick Thor up as he was trying to get my attention the whole time we walked to the elevator and rubbed the soft spot behind his ear, making him let put a happy bark “Give him to Gio, he’ll take care of it.” Antonio grumbled from my side.I paused and held Thor up in front of my face so he faced Antonio, my poor baby let out a whine and I said, “He is not a it, Antonio. And look he’s so cute, just needs some love.”When I didn’t get any answer, I tilted my head and peeked at the man. He looked like someone turned him into a statue and the way his brows were drawn in a frown and how his jaw was clenched, I wondered if I crossed a line. Afraid that I had triggered some bad memory, I quickly passed Thor to Gio and stepped closer to Antonio. “Hey,” I whispered softly as cupped his face and asked, “What is it?”He blinked his golden brown eyes and flicked his eyes over my shoulder to his men as he ordered just as the elevator doors opened, “Take the next

    ERICAI only sat there for a few seconds as I pushed my chair back and ran after him. I didn’t know why I suddenly felt like it was my fault when I had just pointed out the very true fact and yet still here I was. As soon as I stepped out into the dim corridor, like Antonio had mentioned there were four guards and they tried to stop me but I bypassed them as I called out his name.I watched as his broad back tensed and he stopped, but it took him a few precious seconds to turn around and face me. When I saw his face, I scolded myself for bringing the reality back when all of it had been turned into a fantasy that was too good to be true, even for that.When I reached him, I said, “I didn't mean it like that, Antonio.” I really hadn't meant for it to go this way, I didn't realise it would affect him this way. But maybe, in all of this there was a silver line where I could see that he wanted to move on from the past, from how we had started. And maybe we will start afresh.But his next

    ERICA"Hey."I blinked open my eyes and met his golden ones. At some point during the drive, I had dozed off and he had pulled me into his side. And as I looked into his eyes, for a moment forgetting about what had happened in the restaurant, I leaned toward him and softly brushed my lips against his. "Hi,” I whispered.He trailed the tip of his fingers down my cheek and tucked my hair behind my ear. His eyes were soft unlike the way they were so dark with anger earlier as he said, “Come, we are here.”I looked out the window and asked, “And where is here?”“You will see.” He murmured as the car came to a stop and he waited for the car door to be opened before we stepped out.Antonio put his arm around my waist, tugging me to his side as we made our way to an unidentified building that looked like it had no windows. There was no sign on the black door or even the neighborhood looked a little bit shady with other unnamed establishments on either side of it. I glanced at Antonio but di

    ANTONIOMy blood still raged in my veins even after beating the bastard to a pulp until my own knuckles bled and my fingers felt swollen. But this rage wasn’t just because of what the man had done to my little devil, touched her without her permission when he had no right, for that alone he deserved to die. But this inferno of hot rage, it also constitutes the fact that I still couldn’t come to terms with how she didn’t give me an answer when I asked her if she wanted to go back to her family. No matter how much I tried, my mind circled back to that and it fûcking enraged me enough that I felt the ache of that in my chest.And, now as I fisted her hair and claimed her mouth, it wasn’t just for her. She might’ve asked for it but it was all for me. I kissed her like a starving beast who wanted to devour her bite by bite. Make her a part of me and never let her go. I bit down on her bottom lip, ravaged her mouth and sucked on her tongue. She gasped into my mouth and I breathed for her, s

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   22. Did you mean it?

    ERICADuring the drive, all the way to the hotel, my mind was filled with what just happened in that warehouse. The fact that I stood so close to one of those men who tormented me and filled my life with constant nightmares was surreal, but it wasn’t just that... My mind would circle back to the moment when I stood in front of that man and held the gun in my hands. It wasn’t the first time, I did it before too, when I tried to run away from Antonio and had tried to shoot at his men but then no one was kîlled. This time I took a life while the man was pleading on his knees and I felt invincible. And it was because of the man who had stood beside me and gave me the power when all this time I had felt weak.But now as the adrenaline and the thirst for blood of those who wronged me faded away, and the reality of what I did came back it made me question myself, my own character— a bloody thirsty part I didn't think I harboured. Every time I thought of that, my eyes would go down to my hand

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   23. Promise me?

    ERICA I got dressed as he told me, I felt like I was in a space where I would break down or start hyperventilating if given the chance. So all I focused on was the man I left in the shower. From the open door of the bathroom I watched as he stood in front of the washbasin with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was shaving and for some reason that mundane act made my stomach flutter as I sat on the corner of the bed and watched him like a peeping Tom. It was surreal the way my emotions had settled to a calm hum by just watching him. The villain of my story was giving me everything that no hero ever could, I was sure of it. But what scared me was the fact that when I allowed these emotions to unfurl their wings in my chest, they were bigger than I ever imagined. All this time I suppressed my feelings regarding him, I pushed them back and put on a film that turned him into the despicable man who was arrogant and cruel but I didn’t realise that those feelings that I was ignoring were

    ANTONIO“Fuck me, husband. Make me scream.”My balls drew up tight at her words, the sparkle in her brown eyes were my undoing and I slammed into her in one hard thrust. Fuck. More than twelve years of having this woman, of having her tight pussy wrapped around my cock and it still somehow feels like the first time. If I could, I’d turn into three of me and fuck her mouth, arse and pussy at the same time, claim every inch of her, every part of her like I wanted to. My hunger for this woman hasn’t abated in all these years and I doubted it’d ever until the day I died. “Oh, god, Antonio...”I grabbed her face, my fingers digging into her cheeks not so gently. “Yeah, baby, tell me.”“Don’t stop. Please.” Hearing her someone might think that she didn’t get proper and regular fucking, but they’d be fool to think that. The truth was my little devil was just hungry for my cock, was still covered in last night bruises and still was begging for more like the dirty little slut that she was fo

My daughter asked, her golden brown eyes like her father’s stared up at me in exasperation. It was the third time she had expressed her displeasure to be here at the charity event Gianna has hosted at my behest because I wanted to do something good for their father’s birthday which was tomorrow. But knowing Antonio wouldn’t want anything to happen on the actual day of his birthday as he likes to spend it with us instead of celebrating it, we had made all the arrangements for a day before. (Mom, why are we here? I want to go back to the house and invite my friends over.)“I don’t understand why you want to be with your friends they are all stupid.” Unlike my daughter who had inherited all the explosive characteristics of her father along with his eyes, my son got all the indifferent genes from his father which make him look like an unfeeling brute most of the time but there

    ERICASome people say the happiest moments come after you’ve lived the saddest ones. And for sure I have had my fair share of sad moments in my life so I guess my husband here was a god’s gift for all those tears and heartache I suffered. And if someone asked me now if I was given a choice to suffer through the same things, same monsters, if it meant getting him at the end of that dark tunnel then I wasn’t sure if my answer would be a no. As we pulled apart from a long hard kiss that wasn’t appropriate for a wedding, I heard our family and friends cheer around us and then a moment later I felt something soft touching my cheek. I looked up and a delighted laugh left me when I saw twp choppers circling over our heads and rose petals being thrown over us. A literal shower of roses. “Antonio!!” I exclaimed, my happiness unbound, and then I ended up squealing as Antonio lifted me up in his arms and took me to the little raised stage set up for dancing. As I danced in my husband’s arms, e

    ANTONIO“What’s taking them so fucking long?” I muttered, tugging on my cuffs to straighten them for the sixth time. For the second time when I had woken up in the early hours of the morning, my little devil wasn’t in the bed where she had fallen in a exhausted sleep after I had carried her from the tower. But unlike before this time it was Mario and Summer who decided that it was a great fucking idea to keep Erica away from me until I see her walk down the aisle. It had been only a few hours but I already felt impatient and on the edge. I wanted her glued to my side for every breath I take. It was fûcking impossible to put into words how much I was obsessed with her, how much I loved her. But I swore to myself that I’ll try to convey that to her for the rest of my life. “Are you nervous, Antonio?” Ephraim asked from my side. I refrained from looking at him, unless I’d end up punching him in the face for what happened last night even though he didn’t do anything that I didn’t ask o

I turned to him, panicked that I made a mistake but found him lowering himself in a loveseat. He crooked his finger and demanded, “Come here.”A calm washed over me when I saw the dark look of arousal in his eyes. When I took a step closer to him, he leaned back in his seat and pointed to his lap as he ordered, “Bend over my lap, baby, present me that arse.”My lower belly clenched at his words and a heated desire coursed through my veins. My eyes went to Z who was still staring at Kat but when I looked at her I found her gaze fixed on me. She arched her brows, silently telling me to go on. I smiled at her, feeling my blood heat at her attention as my heart started to beat in excitement. That smile turned to a hungry look when I faced my dark villain who grew impatient and grabb

    ERICA“My handsome Duke!!” Ami stood up, waving on her two feet that were encased in heels and stumbled her way to Raphael, who looked only a little bit amused but his blue eyes darkened as they raked down his wife. She was wearing a red sequin dress that ended just below her arse and by the look on Raphael’s face, I’d say Ami will finally get what she was wishing for. “See, what I did? Are you going to punish me for it!” She asked, blinking her eyes at him as she stumbled and he caught her in his arms.Kat snickered behind me and I couldn't help as my own lips pulled up in a smile. Raphael picked her up in his arms and announced for our benefit or maybe to the men standing on either side of him. “I’ll leave you to deal with your wives, mine needs a strong hand.” We could hear Ami squeal in excitement as they disappeared from the view.“Gianna, go to your room. And for fuck’s sake get rid of that dress.” I shivered at his deep voice, my eyes barely fluttering to Gianna to take in the

    ERICA“OH MY GOD! I think I am drunk!!” Ami squealed as the half naked man with a cat mask twirled her around and then took Gianna in his arms who was also half drunk.We were in one of the back towers that I was admiring earlier in the day and Kat had managed to invite the party we were supposed to have here in the castle right under the watchful gazes of our husbands and their men. She was a tricky one. I didn’t know how she managed it but it was awesome and I wasn’t complaining.There were four women out of which two were filling our drinks— unfortunately, non-alcoholic for me, and giving us snacks to munch on while the two men were entertaining us with half their bodies bare and muscles painted what seemed like glitter that shined in the lights. The music was loud but we had checked and the noise couldn’t be heard to the main part of the castle. It was really the bachelorette I didn't think I’ll be having after Antonio fucked me so har

    ANTONIOI don’t know what woke me up but when my eyes opened, I instantly became aware of the fact that my little devil wasn’t by my side and that I wasn’t alone in the room. There was a heavy presence in the room that couldn’t be ignored. I slipped my hand beneath my pillow and pulled out my gun as surreptitiously as I could.I wasn’t afraid for myself but my mind was on Erica, she was sleeping in my arms and now she was nowhere in the room, I didn’t even have to check the bathroom to know she wasn’t there. Her absence was like an open chasm in my chest every time she was away from me. After dinner where we were joined by her sister and Gabriel, we had come to sleep in the bedroom but not before I had exhausted her by fûcking her in the mirror room where she had screamed her pleasure that I was sure everyone in the castle heard. Erica was really a voyeur, she came so many times by just looking at our reflection as I fucked her hard, warning her to not go anywhere her friends and sis
