My Mother

FIFTY-FOUR JEREMY'S POV I swing my fist to his jaw and he dodges my attack with a surprised, “Whoa!” I glare at my stupid body that's working too slow for my rage-infused brain and I want to take my frustration out on something. Something like the man beside me. “What’d you want…” I slur and clear my throat to throw him a glare. Why is my tongue so heavy in my mouth? “Save your anger for someone who deserves it, young Vongov. I have something you need to hear.” I move to stand but my knees are jelly at this point. What the fuck, how's that possible??? “Oh, it is possible.” He answers my unspoken question with a sip of his bourbon, hiding a sly smirk. “You– What did you do to me?!” I snarl at him because at this point that's the only thing I can do. Glare, Snarl, Growl, and Act Surprised. Fuck. “We needed to tranquilize the beast before I could have a proper conversation with you.” He settles back on the stool and crosses his legs like a businessman in a Forbes intervie

Allegiance

Jeremy's POV I stare after the old Chevrolet as it hurtles past me coughing up smoke from its exhaust, I question the believability of everything I just heard. It can't be possible. I trudge mindlessly into another bar, that asshole detective forgot to return my Vodka. The thief. I buy another bottle of Vodka and drink straight from the bottle this time around. No more glasses bullshit. My phone buzzes in my pocket and a piece of paper falls as I try to grip the phone from my pockets with my still lethargic hands. I shrug at the piece of paper and ignore it but a passerby picks it up for me. “Here, you dropped this.” “Thank you, kind stranger,” I answer in Russian as I collect the paper and the man looks at me strangely before walking off. I pull out my phone to see fourteen missed calls from Junnev and Malakai. I dial the group chat and they both answer at the same time. “What's up?” I growl into the phone. “We found her location.” “Where's she?” “She is in Guerrero's

Mallory you genius! you did it!!! We did it!!! I fist-bump the air as Madame Silva closes the door behind her but what if they didn't come to take me home? What if they only came to negotiate my ransom and get back to the owners of this shit place? Fear constricts my lungs as other possibilities roll into my gut, settling like a weight with an impossible shake-off, What if they aren't my parents? What if it's all a ploy by Madame Silva to get me out of my room and down those stairs? What if I go down those stairs and I'm forced to become a human lab rat for testing every batch of coke they produce? I suddenly feel like Madame Silva's words were only knives in my sides, she was only mocking my desire for freedom. Anxiety and worry encase my mind and with Katrina gone, it only fuels the turmoi

The Marriage Alliance

JOJO'S POV “You agreed that we would settle this later.” Aunt Sherry grits out to the woman behind her. The woman settles elegantly on one of the cushions like a debutante with years in the pageantry industry. Her gaze zeros in on me for a brief moment and I release a sharp breath as to how much of Jeremy Vongov I see in her. They both have the same black eyes, inky black hair, the same shape of the jawline and their lips carry the exact arch and curve. I fall into a trance the more I stare at her until the weight of her stare falls on me and a cold feeling skitters up and settles on my chest. “Come here, girl.” I look at Uncle Will and Aunt Sherry and they nod their heads that it'll be alright. The woman looks to be in her late thirties but the more I go closer to her, the more the skin of her face changes before my eyes. One side of her face is normal and smooth with lesser wrinkles while the other side of face is more stretched out from years of extensive skin grafting and m

Josephine

JOJO'S POV “The husband went to visit his estranged foster brother and his wife. He told them about his predicament and they decided to help out. They fertilized the wife's egg with the foster brother's semen and put the fetus in an incubator to grow. As the baby neared the time for hatching, The couple's sins started to catch up with them. So when the baby was delivered all happy and healthy, they dumped the baby on the door of the foster brother and his wife with a horrid little note that told them to take responsibility for the child.” Anita looks me in the eye, “Now, how's that for disgusting, child?” “Very disgusting.” I agree with a straight face but my heart is beating so hard, it feels like it'll fall out of my chest if this woman keeps talking. “That's not all, this sickening couple decided to stay close to the baby, making themselves up as real relatives of the foster brother, can you imagine the level of incest?” She says with a hand over her mouth like we're gossip p

Her Pain

JOJO'S POV I focus my glare on Anita, “Are we doing this? Or Like Will said, Are we going to war? Anita shakily stands on her feet, stalking towards me with a blank expression on her face. “Don't think I didn't see you bullshiting your way through this marriage deal.” She whispers into my ear and a harsh breath saws through my lips as I exhale. “My son isn't marrying you because you're beautiful or the best amongst the rest, this marriage isn't an alliance. It is your punishment and if by six months you aren't in Tuscany the Guerrero family will be forced to wage a war against your people. Everyone you know and love will be dragged to A Casa Do Ouro for torture until you come back to take their place or they die then it’s onto the next.” “You can't do that.” My voice is barely a whisper and there's a buzz in my ear that's getting louder by the minute. I stamp down the panic attack and force myself to concentrate on counting backward slowly. “Watch me. If you think Junior is disgu

Onesies

JEREMY'S POV I land on Tuscany soil the next day and it's almost sunset. I need to get into Guerrero's compound before sundown to get a feel of the layout so I call Malakai and he answers on the fourth ring with a yawn. “Who's this?” He says groggily. “Who do you think, Kai?” I pinch the bridge of my nose, masking my annoyance. “Oh shit!” Something crashes, I hear a deep curse and he clears his throat, “When did you land?” “About an hour ago.” Another yawn, “What kept you so long? It's like seven in the morning back here.” “Customs and something wrong with my passport. Why don't you ask me about the weather?” I ask with a calm I don't feel and he falls for it. “Oh yeah, how's the weathe—” “I don't care about the fucking weather Kai.” I snap, my voice high and depicting waves of rage, and the people moving around me turn and stare with wide eyes. “Whoa, you better calm down tiger, I see two airport security heading your way.” “Where's the nearest exit?” “You couldn't even f

Black Wedding

JOJO'S POV The morning of my wedding comes with a shuddering shriek. I bolt upright on the bed in confusion, turning left and right for my bedmate. Another ear-splitting shriek has my eyes shooting to the bathroom door. I dash to the locked door and bang it open with my foot to see Katrina curled up on the cold floor with her eyes slammed shut, writhing in pain and mumbling garbled words. I trudge back to the room and grab the blanket, then back towards Katrina’s sleeping form. Every step closer to a door is a strong reminder that I'm the cause of her pain. That I should never have let her walk out of the room. That I should've protected her like I promised. I gently cover her with the blanket and she shivers as the warmth envelopes her skin. I hold her hands and squeeze as I settle beside her and tremors rack my bones as I sob silently. Tears stream down my face to the tiled floor with a useless splat. Tears for who I was Tears for what I let happen to me. Tears for what I'm ab

Black Queen

JOJO'S POV According to the script Madame Silva sent, I'm supposed to meet the bridegroom at the venue entrance, then we'll walk into the hall together to the altar and the alliance will officially begin. I'm striding to the entrance of the wedding hall in the black gown with the white veil covering my face when a hand pulls me into what looks like a supply room and the door slams shut. I come face to face with Uncle Will— my father and his eyes have that intense gleam that he always gets when he's scheming something mischievous. He looks at me and inhales sharply as he drinks in my appearance. “What are you doing here?” I ask stiffly, subconsciously ticking all the personal hygiene boxes in my need to know why he's gawking at me like that. He heaves out a dry cough and takes my hand. “The gown's fitting for the occasion.” He comments dryly. “I'm glad you approve of my wardrobe, Father.” I spite, reminding him that I haven't forgotten or forgiven him. “I know you're doing this

The Corpse Bride

JOJO'S POV Madame Silva stands and my hope dashes to quicksand as she opens her mouth, “You can skip that part, Father.” The priest doesn't look too happy about it but he forges onto the next question. (Priest) “Are you prepared, as you follow the path of marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live? Madame Silva stands again and I blurt out, “I am.” Jeremy is staring at me in shock when I subtly step on his foot prompting him to answer the question and he answers with a solemn voice. “I am.” The priest nods his approval and looks down at his book. (Priest) “Since it is your intention to enter the covenant of Holy Matrimony, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church.” We stand there awkwardly until the priest leans towards Jeremy. “Take her hand.” He whispers. “He looks like he hasn't touched a girl all his life!” A soldier hoots and the hall erupts in boisterous laughter even the servants are chuckling quietly.
