Finally!
Elizabeth felt her heart about to burst; her cute and chubby niece and nephew were coming the next month.
Their mother had been complaining for days on end about wanting to see her grandkids, and with the election coming up, the timing couldn't have been better to bring down the president.
"Around the corner, there is some parking on the roof."
Elizabeth said as she directed Christopher D’Amico.
Something she never thought she would do in all her life.
"Thanks, see you arou- why are you getting out of the car?"
She asked with a frown once they had parked, and he now looked as if he wanted to follow her inside.
"Someone needs to keep you out of trouble."
"You said you were only dropping me; I never would have agreed if-"
"I know, but I won't interfere with your night; I'll drive you home after so you aren’t arrested because of breaking into a zoo or something, that's it."
He said in a deep voice that exuded authority, but that was precisely the problem. Elizabeth wanted to get laid, and getting laid, meant no going home.
Still, she reasoned, the club was big enough for her to lose him.
"Fine, but don't talk to me in there."
"Why?”
He asked with a frown.
Was he really this clueless?
"Because you are huge and scary looking, I'm trying to get laid. You, by my side, will not help my vibe."
Christopher D'Amico’s frown deepened, but she didn’t care. The only reason she spoke to him was because she ‘kind of knew him’.
Did that make sense? That was the only reason she wanted to stop him from walking into the river. She had no other sense of responsibility towards him.
Nor did she particularly like him despite his handsome features.
A D'Amico was someone she did not even want to be interested in.
**
As per her calculations, she managed to lose the stiff man who frowned at the loud music with ease.
"Babiesss!!!"
She yelled to her friends, who opened their arms widely to welcome her to the circle.
"Done with community service?"
"I am.”
She answered.
“I'm so happy, I’m done! I love the kids, but I wanna go back to work!"
"You are so lucky you can't be fired. I mean, your family owns the company, right?"
Elizabeth almost sighed; she was a few seconds from muttering, 'Here we go again' when she spotted a tall, puppy-looking blonde-haired man laughing with his friends.
Cute, boyish men were her type; something about them made her want to dominate them.
"I see my calling; I will see you, lovelies, later."
She said quickly, but Bree, one of her friends, grabbed her arm.
"Why don't you drink first."
If she drank, they would make her pay the bill. Well, even if she didn't drink, she would pay the bill; that's the kind of people she kept around her because it was always easy to break cheap relationships.
With that, she took Bree's shot and felt a rush run through her body.
"Drinks on me, go nuts."
She smiled and gave her blessing, which didn't mean much, then marched to the bathroom.
There was one thing she needed in order to dominate men. An anal plug. So she always kept two in her bag.
I feel the need to mention that, no Etienne and Anthony were harmed during the time skip in the last chapter; they were just posted away from the main family to Italy. Jokes on Christopher, they liked it because they were paid to laze around without the tension of him grumbling all over the place.I'd also like to ask your vote on a setting, would you love to read a transmigration, body switch or rebirth story?Rebirth would be when the female lead dies and goes back in time for whatever reason and purpose.A body switch would be the female lead going into another person's body. Maybe they were rich and ungrateful, and now they have entered the body of another woman who works under an obsessive billionaire, and there are consequences when they refuse to work and instead resign.Finally, transmigration would be if the female lead enters a novel they have read, whether they loved it or not. You know I love villains, so of course it’s the villain’s body that they enter. So, an example wou
Hi guys!We are finally at the end of the story!! Thank you so so much for reading, thank you for voting and thank you for loving the work and leaving a review; if you haven’t, please do.This last chapter is especially dedicated to anyone dealing with anxiety or depressive symptoms; it is a season, and it will pass. If your best is opening a window, open it. If your best is just basic self-care, taking a shower, moisturising, and putting the pyjamas right back on, do that. One step at a time. You are more loved and valued than you believe, and medication doesn't make you 'weak' or a 'failure'. Don’t be afraid to reach out, but more than that, don’t be afraid when people reach out, say 'yes' to that trip to the beach or bowling gig, or hell, to a walk just around the corner. We are all one.For my next work, it will still be a billionaire romance, and the male lead will still be a walking red flag. Aren’t they just the best? Plusss..how could I forget to mention smut will be present? I
"But-""It's fine; I'll be back soon.”I say reassuringly to Henry.I wave off his innocent concern despite half my face being covered by his hand.If he were to slap me the same way I slapped him, I'd probably end up in the ICU. Despite knowing that, I leave Henry with Etienne in the living room and follow him like a prisoner escorted to their sentencing.**"You went to the hospital. What for?"This is not the beginning of the conversation I expect, nevertheless, Christopher’s gaze as he closes the door behind me doesn’t leave my face."The headaches, but I have the medicine, so it's fine; more than that, I haven't seen Anthony in days. Did you change my guard?""Anthony?"Christopher asks with a frown, his mouth twisting as if he has eaten something rotten."Who are you calling 'Anthony'?""My- my bodyguard, with brown hair, you assigned him to me."I explain as if he doesn’t already have that information.What is this? What is he playing at?"Did I? And he told you his name? He an
Christopher D’Amico "Spare me."It took three hours to track Alessio and four hours to corner him like this.Yet this was the nonsense he was spewing?"No."Christopher answered.The gun in his hand had no more bullets, so he hit the back of Alessio's head, causing him to fall to the ground. Of course, Alessio didn't come easily, so the blood he tasted from his lips was his.Hopefully, it wouldn’t leave a mark, but even if it did, the wound was inside his mouth, so Elizabeth would not see it.Still, it didn't matter.Everything would end today, and he could head back to Italy to find another man to take his position.Positions in the mafia could only be replaced through death; there was no such thing as a fair trial, only retirement, that was hard-earned.Alessio held his head at the point of impact as if he thought his skull had shattered. There was blood coming from his head, but Christopher heard nothing crack, at least not yet.Still, there was little he could do to guarantee the
Blood. He smells like blood. No, not just smells; he has blood on his clothes.Closing my eyes and opening them, I focus on the bouncing bunny on the screen while Henry bobs his head to the tune.Before long, his little head sways left and right before falling to my stomach as he was resting between my legs, and a soft snore follows.Aww... how precious.His little hands curl against the fabric of my clothes.I should take him to bed; I think Christopher has eaten by now or should be eating, so there should be an interruption.My hands move to scoop him up, but a voice stops me."Is there a reason you are both on the floor when there are perfectly suitable seats next to you?""Henry and I used to sit like this in the old house.”I explain without turning back to him."Are you thinking of the good old times?”His words seem pointed, so I lift Henry in my arms and turn to him with a frown."What is that supposed to mean?”I ask, noticing the curls in his poorly dried hair.Wait, wasn’t
My gaze lingers on the orange glow of the streetlights while my mind centres on the sounds of the cars whooshing past us.My sex is fine now. Other than mild tickling sensations that will go away after three or four rinses in the shower. I am fine.Well, I guess the dull ache choking my throat is something else entirely."You've been quiet for a while now."Christopher comments as he makes a turn to the estate.Of course, I have been quiet. Yesterday, I went to bed and woke up believing that he liked me, that I could have him wrapped around my finger if I tried, and that gave me the confidence to say no to him at the club, and now, I realise that I had gotten ahead of myself.I almost ruined the marriage.There is no divorce, but if perchance he changes his mind, I'll have nothing. I'll lose the one thing I came into the marriage with—Henry.He doesn't like or love me; he is curious about me. Is that even the best way to describe it?Maybe it's more he thinks he likes me.Fuck... if I
