ANTONIO

I found her in the small sitting room on the ground floor. She was in a chair, her legs curled up beneath her with Thor sitting in her lap and a faded leather journal resting on the armrest beneath her hand. Her eyes were closed, her other hand was on top of Thor, and she looked like she had fallen asleep. And I hate to admit it but I was almost thankful to the fact that she wasn’t awake to question me.

As I stepped inside the room with a mind to carry her to the bedroom, the dog’s ears stood up in alertness and he opened his eyes as he looked at me. Although I could sense the tension in his body he didn’t alert the woman holding her and didn’t wake her up, for that alone for a second there I thought that I might start to like him. But then he bared his teeth at me and I banished that thought. “Shoo...” I murmured softly.

The stupid dog barked at me, waking my little devil and I silently cursed at him. The useless creature. My eyes met the dark brown of hers and I tried to co

    ERICAI heard the bedroom door open and close as Antonio entered but I remained still, managing to keep my breathing steady and calm despite my chaotic emotions as I felt him come closer. I might’ve not created a scene but I was hurt, my heart ached at the fact that I was unaware of such a big part of his life. All this time he never thought to mention his daughter to me, not even once when things started to change between us. And besides all this, the way Gianna reacted to my presence and talked about me in front of me, it felt like I was the bad guy in this whole scenario. Like I was some kind of evil woman who wanted to take her mother’s place and had come into her home to take her father away from her. I would never do that. I didn’t want to be a reason for their arguments but I also didn’t want to be in the darkness anymore. Antonio said that he had never loved anyone, that there was no woman before me but he didn’t answer when I asked if he loved Gianna’s mother. Somewhere in

    ERICA“Who gave you permission to enter this room?”“I didn’t think I needed permission,” I answered her, this close I could see the anger in her eyes and to be honest it took me back as I couldn’t come up with anything that I did wrong since we met. It seemed like she just looked at me and decided to hate me.“Papa might like you for the moment and has brought you here but don’t think that this gives you any right to him or to our home.”“Gianna, I don’t know why you’ve decided that I am your enemy, I am not—”She didn’t let me finish as she stepped into me and said, “Listen. Don’t talk to me like I am a child. I am not. And you can’t be much older than me so I know pretty well why you’re here. I have been watching your type throw themselves at my father since I was a kid. So let me tell you, no matter how much you open your legs my father won't ever let you dig your way through into our family. I know very well how gold diggers—”My hand was up before I could think twice but before

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   42. You wanted the truth. Here it is.

    ANTONIOAs I woke up, I already knew that she wasn’t there. It was the reason I woke up, my arms felt empty and her comforting presence wasn’t there. It was amazing how fûcking needy I had become of her, my obsession with her was starting to scare even me now. I turned to look at the bathroom but didn’t see or hear her from inside it. I slipped out of the bed and a glance around the room confirmed that she wasn’t in the bedroom either so I made my way out of the bedroom. As I left the bedroom my mind went back to the little conversation I had with Father Powell. He hadn’t said anything when he had performed the ceremony but he had stopped me before I left the church. —“Antonio, a word.” I nodded and went to him. He gestured me to sit down and when I did, he took a chair beside me. We faced the front of the church and sat there in silence. It was after long minutes that he said, “Your wife,” Those two words settled deep

    ERICAAntonio pushed away from me and turned around, leaving the room. But I couldn't let him go, this couldn’t be the end of our conversation, especially when he thought that Gabriel was the murderer of his sister. It couldn't be true. And more than Gabriel being the culprit, I was afraid of what it would mean for us. Because I would never be able to live with myself if something happened to the man my sister loved to death and at the same time leaving Antonio while he thought that he wasn’t important to me was like taking an axe to my own heart. And it already was bruised when he said that he was done.I ran after him, grabbing his arm, I pulled him to a stop. “Antonio, wait... Please, wait. Talk to me.” I cupped his face while my other hand fisted in his shirt. “Listen to me. Please.” There was a desperation in my words that was clearly evident but at this moment I couldn’t care about it.“There is nothing left to talk or listen to, Erica. You wanted to know what I was hiding and I

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   44. She's family

    ERICAIt’s been two days since that night in his study. Since he revealed all the secrets and the pain he was hiding. Since the night when both of us came so close to confessing our feelings in those three words that mattered. We almost said everything except those three words. And yet the confession didn’t help with the situation we were in. I almost wished that I was still living in the dark without knowing why he hated Gabriel, at least then I was happy with his arms around me and my heart filled with all the warm emotions that were now so chaotic with dread and the hint of loss that came with every second, minute and hour we didn’t talk or touch each other. Yes. Two days. And Antonio hadn’t touched me. Two days, since we had a proper conversation. Maybe it was because we both didn’t know what to say to each other now everything was in the open. Now, we were like a couple in an estranged marriage. He wakes up in the morning and leaves like he couldn’t breathe in the castle. I wake

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   45. I don't want us to end

    ERICA My fingers tingled from where Antonio was holding on to my hand like he was afraid I’d run away. But all I could think about was how to make this mess go away so I could stay with him. Gianna and Ephraim were walking in front of us. We were in a mall with all the branded stores from around the world and like always, and this one was really over the top— the mall was empty except us, and at least a dozen men of Antonio’s were around us, including three of my personal bodyguards that walked just behind us. It was strange to walk in a place where people were always around but if anyone could make it happen I believe Antonio is the only one. Gianna paused and turned to look at us, “Erica, come on, let’s go see some of the handbags. You don’t even have one.” I shook my head. “No, it's not necessary. I really don’t need one.” I hadn’t ever carried one, to be honest. I wasn’t carrying-purses kind of woman. And even though, Gianna had been nothing but nice since the breakfast I still

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   46. I missed this...

    ERICA The shot rang out in the small room and my fingers flexed around the gun I was holding. Antonio wrapped his arms around me from behind and I leaned back into him. My heart was racing from the adrenaline of taking someone’s life. Especially one of those dark shadows that had given me nightmares. And despite our unresolved argument, I was thankful to Antonio for making this happen, for bringing my demons here so I could kill them with my own hands. I blamed the adrenaline and the gratitude, but not my heart who missed Antonio like crazy, when I tilted my head back and let him claim my lips in a deep hungry kiss. For a moment, in this torture chamber with a bloody corpse a few feet away from us, I forgot everything but my need for this man. With a deep grumble that vibrated through my whole body and settled between my legs, Antonio pushed me against the closed door of the room and said, “I want to taste you. I promised to fuck you, today I want to do it with my tongue.” I nodded

    ERICAAntonio kept his word. He did fûck me, but it was while we were in the car driving toward the hotel. His arms were wrapped tightly around me as I straddled his lap, our lips fused together while our bodies met in continuous harsh rhythm. He fucked me like he couldn't get enough. With every thrust he touched my womb and I remembered how he had told me that he wanted to fûck a baby inside me. And it seemed that he was trying to do it when he grabbed the back of my neck and bit down on my throat as he hammered into me from below. I whimpered as pain and pleasure mixed together, making me want more and more. Grunting and cursing under his breath, telling me how much he wanted me, Antonio filled me full of his come as he reached his orgasm.By the time we reached the hotel I felt sleepy even though it wasn’t even four in the evening. Antonio wrapped the coat around me and bundled me up in his arms as he stepped out of the car and made his way to the hotel entrance. As we passed the l

    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

My wife was sitting opposite her own therapist a few doors down, as I sat here after two weeks ago when I had declared I won’t come again.

    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

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   122. Where is my wife?

    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
