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 Morning came too quickly. I had barely slept. I spent the entire night tossing and turning… and sometimes just watching Damon sleep. The sight of his chest going up and down with each breath he took finally eased my anxiety. But, I couldn’t help but wonder what secrets he was keeping that would have rival families coming after us. I also needed to speak to my Father. Rocco could be planning something and it’d be great for him to be aware beforehand. But he was all the way back home and I was in Italy. We were many hours away from each other. I couldn’t leave Damon’s side either as he could wake up anytime soon. My head started aching. A knock came on the door, dragging me out of my heavy thoughts. I opened it and Rhys was standing there with takeout, his expression tight like he hadn’t slept either. “Fiorella said to bring this to you,” he said. “She said you didn’t eat anything yesterday.” I opened the door wider so he could step in. “I d
GABRIELLE’S POV I froze. I didn’t know much about him, but I remembered he was the man questioning Damon in the video Selene had shown me. If Damon lied to him to protect me, then I couldn’t trust him. I walked to my side of the room before responding. “Okay. And?” Silence. “I need to speak to Damon,” Rocco said. “He hasn’t been returning my calls for weeks.” I scoffed like his call didn’t affect me. “How does that concern me?” “Why wouldn’t it concern you?” He countered. “You’re his wife after all.” “And?” I asked. “I mean nothing to him, remember?” Silence passed between us briefly. “Oh, yes,” he spoke again. “I remember giving that footage to a friend. But I’m no fool, Gabrielle. I know you’re with him, and I know he got shot by your sister. Where was he before then?” I swallowed, but still kept my voice calm. “How should I know? If you really aren’t a fool you should have known that we broke up after your video.” I glanced at Damon and lowered my voice.
GABRIELLE’S POV His fingers tightened weakly around mine. My breath caught. Did I imagine that? “Damon?” His eyelids moved but didn’t open, and the monitor beside him began to beep faster. “Damon, can you hear me?” I asked. His fingers tightened again, a little stronger this time. I stood quickly and pressed the call button on the wall. “Doctor!” I called toward the door. Within seconds, the door opened and two nurses rushed in, followed by the surgeon. “What happened?” the surgeon asked. “He moved,” I said. “His hand… he squeezed mine.” The surgeon stepped to the side of the bed and looked at the monitor. One of the nurses checked his pulse while the other adjusted the IV. “Mr. Gravari,” the surgeon said as she turned to him. “If you can hear me, try to open your eyes.” His breathing changed slightly. The nurse shone a small light onto his face. His eyelids moved again, but they didn’t open. “He’s responding,” she said. The surgeon nodded. “Damon, you are in the ho
GABRIELLE’S POV “The surgery was successful,” the surgeon started. “It took a lot of time, and blood, but luckily we were able to get the bullet out.” The air I had been holding in my lungs finally slipped out. My knees felt weak enough that I had to grip the arm of the chair beside me. “Is he awake?” I asked. The surgeon shook her head. “No. He slipped into a coma. The trauma to his body was significant, and we had to stabilize him before closing the wound.” “How long until he wakes up?” I asked. “That depends.” My stomach tightened. “There was internal bleeding and the bullet came dangerously close to his heart,” the surgeon continued. “We spent thirteen hours in the operating room but we only repaired the damage we could see. The next hours will tell us more.” “Tell us what?” I pressed. “Whether there will be complications.” I swallowed. “Is he going to live?” She hesitated. “He made it through surgery. That’s already a very good sign. But—” “Pleas
