I swirled around in my wedding dress with a big smile on my face. I was finally getting married to the love of my life, and life couldn’t be any better. We had met a year ago and he made me the happiest woman alive the night he proposed to me. “Wow, that’s the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve laid my eyes on, Gabrielle,” Emily, my identical twin sister cooed, breaking into my thoughts. I smiled at her. “Thank you, Emily. This feels like a dream. I can’t believe this is my life now.” “Jared doesn’t deserve you, sister,” she said. “Look how beautiful you are. No man deserves this.” I laughed. “Thanks, Emily. You’re the best sister a girl could ask for. You know that right?” Emily and I grew up with our single father who refused to remarry after our mother died during childbirth. Our father was the best man in the world and made sure we got the best of everything growing up. Now after getting our degrees at the age of twenty-three, I was finally getting married. I sighed. “I wish I could share this day with you, sister.” “Forget about me,” she said and wrapped her arms around me from behind while we held each other’s gaze in the mirror. “Today is all about you.” Her phone pinged on the dresser and my eyes caught the message. “Meet me before the wedding. I got you something sexy,” the message read by a contact saved as LOML. Emily snatched her phone but it was too late. I already saw it. “Oh my goodness!” I exclaimed. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a boyfriend?” Her face turned beet red. “We just started seeing each other and I was waiting until after you get married. The spotlight is yours, sister.” I held her hands. “You know I’ve always shared everything with you.” She nodded. “I know but I wanted today to be all about you, okay? So we will talk about this later. Your husband-to-be is already waiting for you on the aisle.” “And so is yours,” I winked at her as I pushed her out of the room. “Go to him now because I want you back before the wedding starts.” She laughed as she walked out. I picked up my phone and texted Jared, my fiancé but he wasn’t responding. He was still getting ready for the wedding. After waiting for ten minutes, I decided to pay him and the groomsmen a visit. The hallway outside my suite smelled faintly of roses and fresh linen. Every step sent my heart fluttering faster. I was getting married. MARRIED! I could already picture Jared in his tux. His sharp jawline, messy brown hair, and that boyish smile that made me fall in love with him in the first place. He wasn’t perfect, but he was mine. As I approached the lounge, the sound of muffled laughter drifted through the door. I grinned and gently pushed the door open without knocking. “Babe?” My smile faltered as I stepped in. The sound of laughter was coming from the TV. “Jared?” I called out. There was still no response. The hotel room looked like someone had been there but aside from that, there was no sign of the man I was marrying in less than an hour. I decided to check the bathroom. I wished I hadn’t. Because my jaw fell at the sight of Jared with my twin sister in the shower. She was wearing a black lace lingerie and he was plunging into her from behind while she leaned against the wall. “Oh, yes….” she moaned. “Jared…” The shower was turned on the water was running down on them as they fucked. I knew I should have walked away, maybe even run but I couldn’t. My legs were frozen in place. So her LOML was my LOML? “You like that?” he asked. “Yes… Jared. More…” my twin screamed. My heart was torn to shreds. I wanted to scream but it felt like my throat was on fire. “Tell me I’m better than Gabrielle,” Emily moaned as he thrust into her slowly. “You’re way better than her love,” Jared said, kissing her neck. “All I want is her inheritance.” “Our plan was smart baby,” she said, grinding on his cock. “But now, I want you to fuck me harder.” My eyes teared up as I watched him pound into her and kiss her so affectionately. Yes, I was still a virgin but that’s because Jared and I decided to wait until our wedding night. I was willing to share everything with my twin sister, but not him. I pulled out my phone and recorded a video of them because I knew Father wouldn’t believe me without proof. Then I backed up, trying to steady myself but I couldn’t. I ran out of the hotel, the staff turning to me with a confused expression on their faces but I didn’t care. I got into my car and drove out of the premises. * * * * “So, then I walked into the bathroom and caught them fucking,” I said, pausing briefly to take another shot. “Top me up, please.” The bartender stared at me, shock written all over his face. I had just spent the last hour taking shots after shots at a bar far from the heart of town. My phone was ringing nonstop so I picked it up and turned it off. The bartender came back with another six rounds of shots. “Ma’am, you’ve been drinking for almost two hours now. I won’t serve you anymore after this.” “Shut the fuck up, okay?” I snapped. “After what I just told you I can drink the whole goddamn bar if I please.” The bartender's expression turned into pity and it made me feel even worse. “Hey! Don’t look at me like that!” I snapped again. “I’m not pathetic.” Eyes were beginning to turn to the hysterical woman in a wedding dress but I didn’t care. The other bartender walked up to us. “Ma’am, please bring it down. Or we’d be forced to escort you out of the premises,” he said. “How dare you?” I spat. “Do you know who I am? I can fucking buy this pathetic bar.” The first bartender spoke. “She’s had a rough day.” “So have we,” the second one said, beckoning at security. “Suck it up or leave.” The bouncer got closer. “Is there a problem here?” “Please escort this lady out. We have VVIPs here tonight and she’s causing a ruckus,” the second bartender spoke up. “Come with me, ma’am,” the bouncer said. I frowned at him. “No and you can’t make me so don’t bother.” He held my arm. “Ma’am it’s within my job to get rid of you and by force if I have to.” “Get your hands away from the lady,” a voice said behind us. We turned and my eyes fell on the most good-looking man I’d ever seen in my life.GABRIELLE’S POV MONTHS LATER “Yes,” I moaned, arching back against him.“More, Damon.” He pushed my head down into the car seat and kept thrusting into me from behind, harder now. I screamed until my throat felt sore. The car stopped and a knock came on the partition. I stiffened and tried to move my body. Damon held me in place with one hand and moved the other down to rub my clit. “The car is soundproof. Scream louder for me, wife.” Oh, fuck! I gladly obeyed. And he kept up his pace until I came, screaming his name at the top of my lungs. When we finally finished and fixed our clothes, I sat up and realized the car had stopped in front of an unfamiliar building. Damon stepped out of the limo and opened my door for me. “My lady.” The irony of him calling me that after the way he had just fucked me almost made me laugh. My face flushed as I took his hands and came out from the car. He stepped behind me and placed his hands over my eyes. I gasped in surprise. “Where are y
GABRIELLE’S POVI sat in the living room with my phone clutched in my hand, staring at the screen even though it remained dark.The door opened and a guard rushed inside.“They’re here, ma’am,” he said, a rifle hanging from his shoulder.I stared at him, shocked.After everything that had happened tonight, my mind refused to believe it could end this way.Fiorella grabbed my arm. “Gabrielle.”I blinked and looked at her.Her eyes were bright with relief. “Go.”My legs finally moved.I rushed out of the living room and stepped outside just as four black cars drove through the gates.My heart pounded harder with every second.The cars rolled to a stop in front of the house, armed men stepping out first.I kept looking past them, searching for my children.The second car opened.Susan stepped out first with Aria sleeping in her arms.A broken sound left my throat. Lila climbed out after them holding an ice cream cone in one hand.Another man opened the door on the other side and lifted
DAMON’S POVArmed men surrounded us, but I kept my eyes on Antonio.The man beside him smiled. “I was expecting your wife to come alone, based on how she sounded on the phone.”I ignored him, still staring at Antonio.“You,” I said slowly, almost disbelievingly.Antonio gave a small shrug. “I know. You look heartbroken.”Rhys dropped the duffel bags with a loud thud. “Should’ve killed you last night at the party.”Antonio’s mouth curved faintly. “And yet here I am.”My jaw tightened.I remembered the countless nights we spent drinking together with friends and business partners at his club, Eden.The deals, the conversations, and the plans.All bullshit.“You took my children,” I said flatly.Antonio tilted his head. “It wasn’t personal at first.”“At first?” I repeated.He sighed as though I was forcing him to explain something obvious. “You started becoming a problem again. Both of you.”His eyes flicked toward Rhys.“The underworld was finally stabilizing after Rocco died,” he cont
GABRIELLE’S POVI returned to the living area and found Fiorella waiting for me.Only a few armed guards remained near the entrances while staff cleared the barely touched tea and scattered papers from the table.Fear still sat inside me as I slowly lowered myself onto the couch.Fiorella sat beside me. “Do you want me to stay with you?”I didn’t hesitate. “Yes.”She reached for my hand and held it.My gaze stayed fixed on the clock across the room, watching every second pass.Tears burned my eyes again. “I keep thinking about Lila crying on the phone.”Fiorella squeezed my hand slightly.“They won’t harm them because they’re leverage,” she said softly. “They did that to scare you into doing what they want.”A painful ache spread through my chest. “She’s just a child. She must be traumatized right now.”“I know,” she responded. “That’s why you need to pull yourself together, for their sake.”Pain twisted inside my chest.“Be strong,” she said. “Children are more resilient than we give
GABRIELLE’S POV Damon got into the car, started it, and drove off without a word. He didn’t even look at me. He had been driving for a few minutes, his eyes on the road and his knuckles white against the steering wheel. Unable to bear the silence anymore, I broke it. “The weather is qu
GABRIELLE’S POV When I left the resort, Damon was still sleeping. I left under the guise of going shopping even though I knew Damon would be pissed if he found out I lied. I had expected the address to be easy to find but it was on a side of town that none of the drivers were willing to g
GABRIELLE’S POV I stirred in my sleep, a moan slipping from my mouth before I could process what was happening. I woke up with Damon’s head between my legs. His tongue lapped me up hungrily, one hand squeezing my breast and it made me almost forget he didn’t come home last night. Almos
GABRIELLE’S POV I think I lost the ability to scream. My mouth parted, and I had gathered air in my lungs, but when I released it, all that came out was a weak, broken sound. I held on tightly to him and even with the air conditioning, our bodies were still slick with sweat against each o
