Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 24: The Top Of The Food Chain
Kenith didn't fail to keep his promise of changing her room. As soon as Arianna woke up from sleep the next day, there was already an interior decorator waiting to receive her preference."They must have a lot of money to waste on her," Arianna thought. But then why wouldn't they when they were basically a loan shark? The thought of it made her blood boil, if it wasn't for her uncle borrowing from them, she wouldn't be in this situation.There was nothing as annoying as being helpless to change your predicament. Her uncle took her freedom, her life! The anger was like claws digging into her heart and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remove it... She couldn't breathe. It was just suffocating.Arianna decided to take advantage of the situation. Since they had the money, she should help spend it well. So Arianna went all out decorating her room. Since she was going to spend the rest of her miserable days here, she had to make sure it was liveable. She did not doubt that she wou

"Hmm, your sir Kenith seems to do a lot of odd jobs around here?"Arianna innocently said yet hinted at something Cassie failed to recognize or maybe, she did understand it. "Oh," Cassie chuckled as if what she said was funny, "Our boss kenith is very social and kind. And he's loved by all the women here,""Including you?" Arianna said immediately, her head tilted at the young girl questioningly.A blush crept up Cassie's face at once, "Well, I do have a crush on him but that's just all. Unlike some of the other women here, I can't delude myself into thinking that there's a possibility of having a future with him,""You're a smart one then. As much as fantasies are great, we have to return to reality eventually," Arianna said to her. She was really liking the girl and Cassie seem kind and responsible."You can't really blame them though, Sir Kenith is Big Joe's right-hand man and the real magnet holding this place together," Cassie revealed and that made a hidden smirk cross Arianna's
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 26: Brewing War
"Ba-dum!" "Ba-dum!" sounded Arianna's heart like a beating drum. Every step she took was taking her closer to her miserable fate. She was scared and wanted to run, sadly, where could she run to? They would hunt her down like a chicken on a Christmas morning about to be sacrificed for breakfast. Hence she had to be brave because she needed to survive."We are here," said one of the men who has escorted her here. There were three of them in total and although the situation looked grand as if she was some big shot protected by her security details, Arianna knew she was nothing but a prisoner. They were not here to protect but enslave her.At once, he went to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed the huge frame open to an audience. Arianna's jaw dropped to the ground, what in the name of the lord is going on here?When Arianna was told she would meet Big Joe today, she thought it would be a casual meeting and not this splendid ceremony going on right now. She should have known a casu
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 27: The Husband Of The Year
They waltzed across the floor as if they owned the place. To others, they looked perfect, however, the only thing that kept Arianna going was the thought that she couldn't mess up. The butterflies in her stomach were becoming much stronger and it didn't help matters that she was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the way Kenith's hands were roaming her body.At first, his hand had rested on her waist while hers were placed on his chest. However, with time it kept climbing and now his hands were tracing the curve of her back."Sorry," Arianna apologized at once when she stepped on his foot, "My bad,""No, it's alright," Kenith waved it off with his charming smile, "I think this is the point where we end our dance," "Oh, ThankGod," Arianna was so relieved she almost said that out loud. However, the universe must really hate her because there was a subtle change in the atmosphere and she noticed everyone turning in the direction of the door. What was going on?"It seems Big Joe has f
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 28: Baby-producing Machine
There was a throne at the center of the hall and that was where Big Joe was headed. To think that he was a king, the man must be suffering from delusion of grandeur. The throne was so huge that he had to be lifted onto it by his men and then, there was a smaller yet luxurious seat by his side on the second step of the platform for her.Their seating spoke lots of volumes. Arianna knew in his eyes that she was lower than him and that made her quite furious. The reason why she had worked hard to get into university was to get a well-paid job so no one looked down on her and marry a partner that accepts and respects her as an equal."You are very beautiful," He pointed out and she had to fight against the urge to gag. Of course, her beauty was the only thing that he liked about her. "Thank you," Arianna still responded with a smile even though she was repulsed by his compliment. "What are your hobbies?" He asked as if he was really interested to know. "I love reading and exploring an
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 29: Other Intentions
The two words could barely leave Arianna's head even after the ceremony went on as if nothing happened. It dawned on her that she had just four days to escape this hell hole. Like a patient with a terminal disease, it was just four days to live and Arianna was sure as hell that she would take full advantage of it.It was as if Arianna became a different person after Big Joe granted her that favor. If there was anything she knew about men, it was the fact they valued their ego, and for someone like Big Joe with growth restriction, his own pride would be over the roof.So she had a plan and it was to buy over Big Joe's trust in three days. Yeah, you heard her, right, she had just three days to buy his trust and the fourth day would be her executing her plans of running away. And the best way to win over Big Joe's trust was to stroke his ego.In the Bible, it was said that on Herod's birthday, Herodias' daughter, danced before the king and his guests. Her dancing pleased Herod so much t
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 30: She Quit
The past days have been strange for Marcel. He kept craving coffee, not exactly the one he made, the one from that store. It was not like the one made at that store was better than his own, but it must be because of a certain redhead.So after a meeting at the other branches with his brothers - note: brother is used to refer to fellow gang members - he decided to go to the coffee store.Unlike the other time, Marcel was carrying his dog Redhead in his arms. It was weird but he wanted to introduce the doggy redhead to the human redhead. It would be quite a union, don't you think so?Thankfully, the store let pets in as far as it was on a lease. But Marcel was a lawbreaker and simply held Redhead in his arms with no lease whatsoever."Sir," One of the staff approached him to remind him of the pet rules, "Please, we don't accept pets that....."Marcel simply fished out his premium card and held it out for him saying, "Subtract the penalty fees from here,"The staff's hand shook as he re
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 31: [Bonus chapter]He Hired The Drama Queen
The news sounded like a bomb had been dropped on Marcel. He hardly got excited and now his excitement was squashed into nothing. He looked towards his dog that seemed disappointed by the news as well because his face fell. Redhead must be the most intelligent dog out there, he could even sense the owner's emotion? Then Marcel announced to the manager, "Have a seat," "Me?" The manager was stunned, he hadn't been expecting that request from him especially after he chased him away not less than a minute ago. "Do you see any other manager that I'm speaking to at the moment?" He sassed at him. Without further ado, the Manager occupied the seat. This was his chance to get this man on his side. Imagine if this man sponsored their café, it would reap him huge benefits. He could improve and expand and become a brand name - he could already see himself swimming in money. "So why did she quit?" Marcel asked him.He was stunned, this was not the conversation he was expecting. He thought Ma

Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Only The Future Would Tell
"Good morning love," Arianna woke up to Marcel peppering butterfly kisses on her jaw and nuzzled her neck, deeply inhaling her scent as if she was a drug that he was addicted to. Well, that was not entirely wrong. He was fucking addicted to her. "Morning," Arianna croaked, sleepy-eyed, and turned her back to him. They had done a lot of bonking last night and she was sore and tired as hell. Not that the move deterred him because she could feel his hands caressing her naked body beneath the sheet, stirring up a fire that should be extinguished already. Unfortunately, her body was a greedy bitch and a sucker for pain. One would have thought that after giving birth to three children, their sex life would have dwindled, but the reverse was the case. This was the reason they had to get away from the children and the base. Sex with Marcel was always loud, dirty, and rompy and they didn't want the children walking into something inappropriate. Moreover, just because they had children, did
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 149 Debut Into The Family
Ten years later….. ___________"Mummy? Daddy?" Penelope walked into her parent's room only to realize that it was as dead as a graveyard. Her parents were nowhere to be seen and she went into a panic. Penelope was four years old and the third child to be born to Marcel and Arianna. It was obvious that the girl was conceived with love and named after Marcel's mother whom she bore a bit of resemblance as well. The young girl had Marcel's blonde hair and her late grandmother's blue eyes marking her different from her siblings who had the signature gray eyes of the Luciano family. With Penelope taking up the role of their last child - although that position was likely to change in the future - she was spoiled and treated like a princess and it was not surprising that she burst into tears when she was unable to find her parents. "Mummy," She climbed into the bed and began to cry at the top of her lungs knowing that somebody was going to find her anytime soon. Penelope was used to the a
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 148 What The Future Had For Them
For someone mad at Marcel for taking Aricel out for a visit in the middle of the night, she ended up spending more time there instead. By the time they decided to go home, it was already three o'clock in the morning and even their resilient daughter couldn't fight nature anymore and had fallen asleep. It happened that Adele ended up revealing the news of her pregnancy publicly instead and that sparked off a celebration. There was a lot of drinking and eating in between light conversations that by the time they were done, Arianna was a hundred percent sure that she was drunk. Marcel was the daddy of the year because he refused the alcohol knowing that he would have to drive a drunk wife and sleepy daughter instead, even though Luka was available to take up the role of a designated driver. ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom And yes, it had taken Marcel quite some time to get used to the fact that his best soldier and friend - he would not admit it - did not betray him, rather he stepped out of line i
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 147 A Bit Of Happiness
He should have known. Marcel felt his phone ring earlier, but then, he had been so engulfed in the fun he was having with the children that he ignored it. Moreover, he had not expected Arianna home until the early hours of the morning, nor had it ever crossed his mind that she would ever come here. Even late at night, the children had a great burst of energy and didn't tire easily and who knew that the game would turn out to be more fun than he thought? Victor decided that they should play paintball and it was even stunning that he had the equipment in his booth as if he had seen this coming. Enlightening the kid on how to play the game was a bit taxing at first, but after about four trial games, they were good to go. The kids were smart and Marcel couldn't have been more proud of his daughter over the way she expertly dodged the Marker, paint-filled pellet. However, they were holding back on purpose because he, Elijah, and Victor were all expert shooters and this was supposed to
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter146 Her Daughter Died
"I feel sick," Adele moaned over the toilet seat. "Shhh, it's okay," Arianna muttered, rubbing her back, "You're going to be fine and we are going to take you home right now." "No, I'll be -" She was about to protest when another wave of nausea hit her and she was retching into the toilet once more. Good thing no other person was coming in to use the restroom since this wasn't exactly a pretty sight. Adele was kneeling over the toilet while Arianna was behind her keeping her hair from getting in the way. The toilet cubicle was opened since it wasn't spacious enough for the both of them. "Mimi, could you stop staring at that strip and get the car ready? '' Arianna chided her with a glower. This was not a joke. Mimi in question was leaning against the sink and staring at the pregnancy strip as if it was a national treasure. While Adele had not denied the allegation of sleeping with her "husband" she was positive that she wasn't pregnant. It was too early nor did she have plans of
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 145 How Did Our Life Get To This Point
"Daddy! Daddy! carry me!" "Daddy! Me too!" "Daddy! Liam pinched me!" "Daddy! Look, I'm a dinosaur! Roar!!!"Such was the condition Marcel and Victor found Elijah in when they arrived at his place. The cousin had not come together, but somehow they met in the driveway and thus, came in at the same time only to see this disaster. "And I thought I had problems." Victor hinted at his son trying to wriggle out of his arms. "I second that," Marcel said, glancing down at his daughter Aricel who was trying to reach for her cousin Caleb, both of their hands touching but not exactly reaching. "No, Leo! Don't touch the vase!" Elijah was already reaching for the boy but the deed had already been done because the vase fell to the ground and shattered. At this point, Elijah stood helplessly staring at the twin who lifted his hand to his mouth and giggled shyly,"Daddy, sorry." "God, no," Elijah lifted his hand and rubbed his temple where he could feel a throbbing headache. He thought that h
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 144 Hating And Shagging
Adele was so embarrassed by her breakdown that she didn't dare to look any of them in the eyes and she was extra grateful when the food arrived. Now, she had a reason to not look up, burying her face in her food instead. As if they understood her, Arianna and Mimi did not bother her and let her be. Perhaps, this was the reason she preferred their company rather than being completely alone - aside from the fact that both of them were the only people relatively close to the word "friends" in her life. They respected each other's boundaries - most times, she thinks - and didn't push their buttons. Also, Adele felt better, lighter, like this huge load in her chest had been taken off. Who knew talking was therapeutic? "So…." Mimi started up another conversation, which wasn't surprising. She must hate the silence or something. "What's Marcel's plans towards Aricel?" The question was obviously directed at Arianna. "What do you mean by that?" Arianna looked down, absent-mindedly rolling
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 143: You're Not Alone
Arianna, Mimi, and Adele finally decided on a simple restaurant that was just around the corner and didn't have to trek too far. Although the late-night air cleared their head just a little bit and in no time they were basking in the warmth the restaurant provided. Picking up the menu, they made their orders before relaxing for a conversation that wasn't going to end anytime soon. "So…" Mimi started, which honestly wasn't surprising. She was a natural at initiating conversations even with the most awkward company, "How is married life going for you?" The question was directed at Arianna and she blinked in surprise, pointing a hand to her chest, "You mean, me?" "Yes, you. Who else was I going to start with?" Mimi shrugged, looking between the both of them - she and Adele. Arianna said, "You practically know everything about me. I thought you were going to start with her, she's the most reclusive person in this group." Adele in question lifted the glass of water to her lips and to
Twisted Love Knots: A Billionaire's Substitute Chapter 142 Girls Hang Out -2
The slap sent the man reeling as he saw stars in his vision. Unlike Mimi who had been taken aback by his action that reacted instinctively, Arianna's slap was well planned hence the reason she put a lot of her strength into it; she intended to hurt him "Who are you calling a bitch, your mother?!" She scolded him, stepping in line beside Mimi with her head lifted high. How dare that piece of shit lay a hand on her girlfriend? "Y-you!" The man raged, now holding the cheek where Arianna slapped him, "The both of you are dead!" He threatened her. "You have quite the confidence." Arianna scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. And oh, she finally saw why the man was confident because he did not come alone and about three of his minions stepped out confidently from the crowd. Just one night Arianna decided to be away from the stress of motherhood, and violence calls instead. At this point, those dancing on the floor abruptly halted their having sensed something violent was about to
