“Your body belongs to me, Kitten.” He rasped out, cold index finger reaching out to trace over my fluttering pulse. I took an hesitant step backwards, but he took one forward, closing in on me even further and making my breath hitch. “Say it.” I gulped and averted my gaze instead, clutching on my towel harder. His grip on my chin was firm as he tipped my head upwards. I trembled in immense fear. “My b- body belongs to you.” I stuttered shakily, and a dark grin broke out on his face, making my blood run colder. “That’s right. Now, take this off. I don’t think we’ll be needing this tonight.” —— When an underboss’ territory gets raided and his wife and eldest son gets captured, what better way to rectify the situation than to seek help from the most popular Mafia Don in Italy and give his only daughter away in exchange for said help. Catherine has a deep rooted fear of men, and had secretly planned on eloping before she comes of age in which her hand would be given out in marriage, but when the unexpected happened and she had to be the sacrificial lamb, she knew her entire life was doomed. Damien’s was cold, ruthless and emotionless. He had no idea of what to do with his new wife who trembled around him like a lost kitten– but, he knew he could never let her go. Ever since he set his eyes on her and saw the tears running down her flushed cheeks, he knew he had to have her, protect her and keep her all to himself. That might just be hard to do, since danger was never, ever far away from him.
View MoreCatherine’s Pov ‘You’re stronger than this, Catherine.’I said to myself for the hundredth time as I stood before the mirror in the bathroom, which I had been locked in for over an hour.My cheeks were wet with tears and I could see my chest heaving with how much breath I was sucking in at each passing minute.Regardless of that, I was still feeling out of breath.I stared down at my naked body and wondered what he’d think once he sees them tonight.This morning, while I had been taking my bath, mum had walked in to go over the basics of what was going to be expected of me from my husband in the bedroom.I had began to cry, because I couldn’t even bring myself to imagine myself in that kind of situation with me being willing and onboard. I had instantly hid the tears from mum though, that was something she’d never catch me doing.Not since that one night.I breathed out a sad sigh as I eyed myself up in the mirror once again.After I had locked myself in here since the moment D
“Damien is…” Mum began to speak, her long, manicured fingers patting a bonquet of flowers.“Damien is dangerous. That’s it.” Dad cut into the sentence with a grim look on his face. He was cleaning his gun and shoving it in their respectful spots on his body.“He’s more than dangerous.” Mum paused for a moment. “He’s ruthless, lethal and really, really powerful. When he came into the hideout where the kidnappers had taken Ethan and I to, they had instantly dropped to their knees, that’s how much he’s feared by people.”My skin crawled as I listened to my parents talk about how dangerous the person I was going married off to was, as the hair stylist did my hair up in my bedroom.I was already dressed up in my wedding dress, and my makeup had already been done to perfection by professionals. “He’s the most powerful mafia Don ever to walk the earth. Every other mafia here in Italy knows he has the final say.” Dad continued and I felt fear clog my throat once again.“And you’re gett
Catherine’s pov Life has never been on my side, ever since I could remember. That was the reason why it wasn’t a shock to me that My mother and elder brother ended up getting found, the very next day.As soon as dad came to announce the supposedly good news to my younger brother and I, we had both tensed up and as soon as we were alone once again, I had instantly busted into tears.“No, no, it can’t be. Why is life always against me?” I whispered in a ragged voice as I sobbed into my pillow. Zander was perched on the edge of my bed, and he could do nothing but try to offer me comfort.Which was of no use, because nothing could make me feel better at this point.“Now that the stupid Mafia Don has found them, I’m going to be married off like the sacrificial lamb that I am.” I pointed out as I pushed myself up into a sitting position, with my legs folded beneath me.“Stop it, you’re not a sacrificial lamb.” Zander argued feebly.“I am. That’s what dad said. You and Ethan are the onl
Catherine’s pov My eyes widened as my father’s words echoed around the insides of my head. “What?” I whispered. My hands which had laid motionless in my thighs has began to tremble.“You’d be getting married to the Mafia Don, in exchange for the help he’d be rendering our family, Catherine.” Dad repeated himself without missing a beat and my mouth fell open.His words were just starting to sink in and I could feel my heart start to pound harshly against my ribs.Marriage?!“But… but, I’m not up to nineteen yet.” I whispered in a shaky voice, in case he had forgotten that tiny detail about me like he always does.Here in Italy, daughters from prestigious families are given out in marriage once they’re nineteen. I wasn’t up to nineteen yet, so I had always thought I was safe for now.“Yes, I know that. But you’re already over eighteen, which is all that matters.” He said and then he began to flip through a document on his desk.My heart was still thumping harshly and it was get
My eyes widened and my heart lodged itself straight into my throat as the car I was currently in, gradually began to slow down.Dead bodies of guards were over some spots on the ground and a few were badly injured. The huge gates of the house had was wide open and some onlookers were balanrly staring into the compound.Dad wasn’t going to be happy about that, I thought as the car finally stopped. I pushed the car open before one of my two guards could come get the door for me, hurriedly making my way towards the house.My heart was in my mouth, it was obvious that an attack had befallen our territory while I had been out hanging out with my best friend.I made my way into the house and was blocked by a guard before I could get to the sitting room.“Let me through.” I wheezed out, taking a little step backwards in order to create some much needed space between the guard and myself.“You can’t go in ma’am.” I knew arguing with one of my father’s personal guards was literally u
