ERICA

Antonio 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

I believe it was Nikoli who sent G to the orphanage and is setting up Gabe. I can’t remember how Gabe got control of N.O.. Might have to go back and reread it.

    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

    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

    ERICA“Excuse me,” I murmured as I stood up from the table. Antonio grabbed my hand, stopping me before I could leave. “Where are you going?”Our earlier conversation hadn’t ended well and the strain of it had followed us downstairs to where we joined Gianna and Ephraim for the late lunch. I met his eyes, saw the distrust in them and swallowed against the tight knot in my throat. “You didn’t ask your daughter where she was going when she excused herself.” I said to him, jerking my hand free as I glared at him, trying to hide my hurt. We were really backtracking to the time from where it all started.He sighed, his fingers raking through his hair. And in his eyes, I saw that he really didn’t trust me at the moment. He thought I was going to try to escape. And I wish I was, but before that I’d try everything and first was to talk to Gabriel. “I am going to the restroom.” I had drunk three glasses of red wine and it was catching up to me. “You can send your men if you want, go back to b

    ANTONIO“What’s going on?” Ephraim asked as we waited on the terrace for Gianna and Erica. Surprisingly, both of them seemed to have called a truce on their animosity for some reason. And even though I knew that Erica didn’t have any other agenda, I didn’t trust Gianna. She was really my daughter for all the things that mattered, and if she had a grudge with someone she didn’t let it go so easily, so for her to be smiling and talking with Erica like she hadn’t told me to get rid of her was alarming. I had to warn Erica unless she does something to hurt her.I looked at Ephraim and answered, “She knows about Gianna. And about my reason to hate Gabriel Wolfe.”Ephraim looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. He said, “You told her everything.” It wasn’t a question but I nodded. “About your emails, and the exchange you discussed with Gabriel?”“She isn't going anywhere.” I gritted out.“Yeah, I know. But it's the reason he will be coming here like a lamb to a slaughter. Did yo

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   50. Are you cheating?

    ERICAI heard Ephraim’s and Antonio’s conversation, and I might’ve missed some parts but I understood it well enough so when we stepped down from the chopper, even though I was angry I couldn’t banish the spark of worry that came alive in my heart. I stopped and turned around. “Antonio!” I called out his name over the noise of the chopper. He looked back at me and then walked toward me. I erased the remaining distance between us and looked up at his handsome face. “What is it?” He asked.I licked my lips, suddenly hesitant after the tension between us. When I placed my palm on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat an image of him in a hospital bed flashed in my mind. He was there then because he had gotten shot while saving me and the bitter helpless feeling from that time coated the back of my tongue. I didn't want the repeat of that, so I said, “Please, be safe.”His golden eyes sparked yellow and he slipped his hand at the back of my nape as he replied, “Don’t worry, little devi

  • Trapped Forever- A Dark & Twisted Happily Ever After   51. It was all an act

    ERICA “Are you cheating on my papa?” “What?” I stared at her and realised she was totally serious. I scoffed and a chuckle left me as even the prospect of cheating on a man like Antonio was laughable to me. I met her eyes and replied, “No. I’m not cheating on him. And I can see that you’d like for that to be the case, but unfortunately for you I am not that kind of a woman. Neither I’m a cheater and nor I’m a gold digger of which you accused me without knowing me.” “Then why did you ask for my phone? Who are you calling behind my father’s back?” I looked down at the phone in my hand that I had slipped out to check again, it was unlocked and on the screen as a wallpaper there was a picture of her with Ephraim and Antonio. As I watched the picture, looking at their happy faces, I couldn't help but miss my own family. I drank more from my mug and in a moment of weakness which was probably because of the whiskey that seemed to be rushing to my he

    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

    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
