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.DAMON’S POVFiorella held my gaze, a trace of uncertainty in her expression.“We finished with the client,” she explained. “She handled everything and we left together.”I did not interrupt her.“We got to the parking lot,” she continued. “She put the bags in the car, and I remembered I left something upstairs. I told her I would be back in a minute.”A brief pause followed.“When I came back down, she was gone.”My jaw tightened slightly. “Gone how?”“The car was gone,” she replied. “I called her immediately, but she did not answer. I assumed she was with you or that she had to leave for something urgent.”I stared at her for a moment, processing every word carefully.“And you did not think to call again?” I asked, my tone harsher than intended. “Or inform me?”I immediately regretted that.“I did,” she answered, her voice breaking slightly. “Multiple times, but neither of you picked up. The last call was a few minutes ago.”I took out my phone and immediately sent a text to my head
DAMON’S POV The driver parked the car in the driveway and turned to me. “Anything else, sir?” “No.” He nodded and got out of the car. I turned to Rhys beside me in the back passenger seat. “Don’t go through the front door. I don’t want my kids to see blood all over their uncle.” Rhys barely reacted. “Yes, brother.” “And while you’re at it, stop murdering people everywhere you go,” I said, struggling to keep my calm as anger coursed through me. “What the fuck, Rhys?” He called me a few hours ago to pick him up from a club where he murdered a man in front of everyone. And obviously not in a clean way with the amount of blood he had on him. “I know,” he responded, staring out the window. “I fucked up. I’ll have Vani handle it.” I looked away from him. “No, you won’t. I’ll handle it, as usual. However, I shouldn't be cleaning up your mess. How hard is it not to kill?” “Well maybe they shouldn’t be doing things that incur death,” he snapped. “How about that? How about people ju
GABRIELLE’S POV Susan had taken the girls to the park for a picnic while I caught up with work online. Damon wasn’t home either. He had to attend a meeting with his business partners, but should be on his way home anytime soon. Rhys stepped out some minutes after he did. And that gave Fiorella and me enough free time to catch up. A few hours later, we were driving back from a full day of spa and shopping, the backseat filled with bags and garment covers from different stores. I leaned back into my seat, both hands on the steering wheel. “I had no idea this was an option,” Fiorella said with a relaxed sigh from the passenger seat. I slightly turned to her. “Why?” She did not look at me. Her gaze stayed fixed ahead on the road as she spoke. “Life lately has been… unexpected.” “For good reasons, I suppose,” I said. “I’m still mad at you for not telling me about the wedding.” Something flickered across her face, but it disappeared just as quickly. “I’m sorry. I guess we were
GABRIELLE’S POV A brief silence followed. I slowly set Aria down from my lap. Fiorella’s eyes were already on me, sharp and questioning. “I’ll be right back,” I said. Rhys glanced up from the pot. “Everything okay?” “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. “Just a small issue at the gate.” I didn’t wait for another question. I turned and walked out of the kitchen, my steps calm even as something cold settled in my chest. My instincts were already telling me that this was about a particular blonde man. The guard followed behind me as we stepped out of the house. “It’s about the man from yesterday,” he said. My body went still. “What about him?” I asked, keeping my voice calm as we walked down to the gate. “He’s back,” the guard replied. “We refused him entry as instructed, but he has parked in front of the gate and refuses to leave.” I was right. I knew Aiden wouldn’t give up. I knew Damon should have done something about him. “He’s been there for a while,” he added. “W
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
