All Chapters of Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The food came about fifteen minutes later, and while the ones who were forced to order a salad even though they wanted something else didn't look pleased, I was more than happy to be served with a good-sized steak.My mouth immediately watered at the sight of the food in front of me, my stomach growling at the memory of not eating anything good for the last two days.I didn't hesitate to reach for the knife and fork, ready to dig in. The table full of stranger women melted away as I started cutting into my perfectly cooked steak, the sight of how well done it was making me satisfied.I took a big bite that filled my entire mouth, slightly struggling to chew the meat as I scooped up some mashed potatoes from the side and shoved it into my already full mouth.The sigh of relief that escaped my throat was audible, and for once, the twisting hunger I was feeling deep in my gut was not letting me feel the shame of being round people I didn't know. I dug in like my life depended on it, and

Ezabella Viper...I hid in the bathroom, slightly upset with myself for not properly thanking Ella Smith before I stepped out of the elevator. I made sure to lock the door before I ventured further into the bathroom, standing in front of the sink to look at myself in the mirror above it.I cringed at the sight of my hair, knowing it was going to be extra tangled once I freed it from the bun. I dropped my eyes to my face.Despite sleeping the entire late afternoon and night the previous day, I looked extremely exhausted, as if I had not slept for 48 hours straight.I sighed, dropping the phone on the edge of the sink and dragging both of my hands down my face, stopping at my eyes to give them a quick rub before I reached down for the sink.Turning the water on, I leaned down and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would chase away the exhaustion from my body.The gathering with the other women truly felt like I had walked myself into a battlefield and came out on the other s

Ezabella Viper...I sat tense in the back seat of the car, my left shoulder firmly pressed against the door. I kept my eyes on my hands, unwilling to look at anything that might draw my anxiety out.My sock-covered toes wiggled with tension the further we drove away from the apartment building. I couldn't find comfort sitting on the rather comfortable chair, my back too hunched from trying to make myself look much smaller and unnoticeable.I couldn't understand why Jacopo Nicolo decided to drag me out of the apartment. Fear of the location of where he was taking me made me even more anxious to the point that the second he spoke, I forgot to grab my shoes and my phone. I assumed something horrible awaited me, and it was all because I chose to follow Ella Smith out of the apartment even though he didn't want me to leave.A phone rung in the car, disturbing the suffocating silence, and Jacopo reached into the inside of his chest pocket to pick it up.I played with my fingers, draw

My head was spinning. All I could think about was the man who snuck into the Fimbar mansion, and my mind was presenting me with images of Helena Fimbar dead, or really scarred for life.I had glanced at Jacopo Nicolo multiple times, contemplating whether or not I should tell him what I saw. Each time I would open my lips to speak, the words would get stuck in my throat and form a painful lump, preventing me from speaking my mind.The tension in the car was tense as ever, contributing to my fear of telling Jacopo Nicolo what I witnessed.The drive lasted for another hour before the car started slowing down.I looked out the window and saw that we were pulling up into the parking lot of a small bar. Connor was once again waiting for Jacopo in his car, and the second we arrived, he hopped out of the car.Jacopo opened the door and hopped out, and together, the two walked into the bar.Once again, he left with the driver, and he started drumming his fingers against the steering wheel, an

I drove around the nearby places as slowly as I could, casting looks towards the streets to see if I could find her walking around.Throughout the entire search, I was wondering as to why that woman would run away. If her main purpose was to build a trap on the web, then why did she need to run away?I wondered if maybe it was because she needed time to meet up with someone, but that didn't make much sense, since I surprised her by taking her out of the apartment when she least expected it.I tried to make sense of it, but nothing seemed to come to mind.The search lasted about an hour before I received a call from Cane.I answered the phone, feeling unease, and hoped that he would find her, since I obviously couldn't."Tell me you found her." I called out the second I pressed the phone against my scarred ear."Worried about your wife, I see..." He commented, the mockery ringing in his voice."Cane!" I hissed, moving my car to the side to park."Yes..." He finally replied. "I found h
