Becoming Mrs. Blackstone CHAPTER 28 – MR. DO WHAT HE WANTS
NEW YORK When I told Luca I felt like death yesterday, I didn't even know what feeling like death meant.But right now, I feel like I would much rather prefer to be buried six feet under than continue to battle with this excruciating pain.My fever came back with a vengeance after I had taken a brief nap. By five in the morning, I woke up and Luca was gone. I am still refusing to acknowledge the pang of disappointment I felt when I woke and he wasn't there. Or the way I felt so safe, so protected in his arms last night. My mind is playing games with me again. That must be it.I woke up and could barely move. My body temperature had sky rocketed and I burned all over. My entire body hurt and it felt like a jack hammer was being powered through my skull.I do not remember ringing the bell for Luca to come to me, but I remember thinking about it. In the next five seconds, he barged in, eyes already wide and alert like he'd been awake for a long time.Long story short, the good doctor
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone CHAPTER 29 – THE END
CHAPTER 29I beat harshly against Luca, trying to escape his crushing, though gentle grip."Put me down, you brute!" I squeal.He pauses for a while, looking down at me with what resembles amusement."Suit yourself, my pet."He lets go and I tumble, landing arse first on the marble floor."Ow!""C'mon. You wanted to walk on your own. We're almost there so get up, lazy ass."I shoot him a stinging glare, praying to the heavens for the power to reduce him to ashes where he stands. I ignore his outstretched hand and get to my feet on my own. Determined to prove to Luca that I can make it on my own, I take the first step. Everything feels okay. I mean, I don't feel faint or anything.I take the second and third step. Without warning, a hand pushes against my back and I stumble, crashing to floor in a tangle of legs and feet.I shut my eyes tight, waiting for the pain to register. It never comes. Instead, I feel warm, almost snug.My eyes shoot open to find Luca's smoky gray ones fixed
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone The Beginning...
Cold.So much cold.It seeps through my scanty, torn shirt and burns through my skin, chilling my nerves and bloodstream. It makes my bones ache and my teeth chatter with a resilient rhythm. I lie on the concrete floor, my hair hanging in dark, frozen icicles down my stiff face. I can barely blink my eyes. My sixteen year old, once powerful frame rattles helplessly, in time with the depressing sounds of ice drops that fall against the tiny window of my cell. Winter in Russia is horrible. Winter in a Russian prison is a total nightmare. The cold makes you numb. Your lips, limbs and even eyelashes become completely numb.This is not the conventional Russian prison, mind you. It is more like an illegal cell facility, established by the Russian crime syndicate, the Bratva. Here, petty crimes and big crimes are punished in equal measure, no matter the age of the offender.In the cell next to mine, a ten year old boy is held—for stealing a loaf of bread from the local markets under Brat
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone Chapter One – A Capo's Power
CHAPTER ONE…CAPO'S POWERNew YorkTen Years Later…Everyone have different ways of dealing with grief. Some bawl their eyes out. Some shed crocodile tears. Others go into deep depression.Few people show no emotion. Even if the pain threatens to claw its way through their insides and make itself known, they show no emotion.And I am "few people". I watch as his coffin is being lowered into the hard, unforgiving Earth.My father.My mentor.My anchor. For the past ten years, he and Ricardo have been the only constants in my life. It feels like I've always looked up to him my entire life. Hell, I was practically always glued to his side. But it all ended too soon. Way too soon.We had ten years together. Ten very short years. I thought he was invincible. He had undoubtedly shown me over the past few years of our time together that he was the hardest man to kill. But he did not see it coming. No one did. The bullet hit him square on the head, completely shattering his skull struc
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone Chapter Two — Discovery and Deceit
London"Father's been acting strange all week."Yulia pauses the smooth motion of the brush she's been running through my hair and meets my worried gaze in the mirror."How do you mean?"I huff."Oh, don't act like you haven't noticed. He's always looking worried. He barely eats, sweats alot and he does not even look me in the eye when he's talking to me anymore."I run my fingers through the smooth surface of my dresser."Something's definitely wrong, Yulia. And from the looks of it, it's bad."I stare at Yulia earnestly through the mirror, willing her to agree with me.She purses her lips for a while, contemplating my words."Well, you're right about one thing. Something's not right."I heave a sigh of relief. Atleast I've not been imagining things."Want to go snooping?"Yulia's already wide eyes widens even more. She has such beautiful eyes.Yulia is just drop dead beautiful, full stop. Sometimes I wonder how she ended up as my personal maid."What exactly would you gain from that
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone Chapter Three – The Truth Unfettered.
New YorkThey say it is often difficult to find somebody that shares your pain. Somebody that shares your desires, and in my case, somebody that shares my want for vengeance.I guess I'm just lucky to have that one person, my best friend and closest confidant, Ricardo.I know this mission is as important to him as it is to me. Romanov had personally seen to it that Ricardo and I were tortured and starved during our days in prison.All the horrendous things he'd done to us flashes through my mind and I can swear Ricardo knows what I'm thinking because his eyes darken with pain...and fury, his fingers clenching tightly over the leather of the Italian sofa.I sit back in my chair, letting his news sink in. I'm shocked, extremely so, but the deviant gleam in my best friend's eyes tells me that Ricardo is not playing around.He sloshes the remnants of his beer in the nearly empty bottle, his calculative blue gaze sharp with focus.I lean in on the opaque, glass table, finally finding my v
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone Chapter Four — Plan In Motion
New YorkI get to my feet and walk down to the bank of floor to ceiling windows that give my office a magnificent view of Central Park."We're not up against an ordinary enemy here. Romanov is smart... too smart, I must say."Ricardo begins tapping a foot against the marble floors."That is where you come in, boss. You will marry Romanov's daughter in place of Ramsey Mikhailov. But for that to happen, we need a foolproof plan.""It would be easier if you were up against just one enemy." Thelma says quietly.Ricardo and I turn to her."Excuse me?" I ask. Thelma sighs."Romanov is not a strong enough opponent compared to his Personal Assistant and Chief Adviser."Her eyes darken with contempt,"That man is pure evil. He's the brain power behind most of Romanov's best, well laid plans. Richard Smollett. The demon in a suit."I eye her thoughtfully,"Smollett. Now why does that name sound so familiar?" Ricardo asks"Because it is."Ricardo gives me a sharp look from across the room."How
Becoming Mrs. Blackstone Chapter Five – One Night of Freedom
LondonDarkness. Total darkness.That's the feeling you get when your life is coming to a complete end.All I feel is a soul crushing dark void.A void that threatens to swallow me whole.Ever since Dad told me — commanded me, to marry Ramsey Mikhailov, a wet blanket has fallen over my world. I've dreamt of freedom for as long as I can remember. Dad promised me my freedom by the time I turn twenty. I've dreamt of walking barefoot on an open beach, travelling, seeing new places — meeting new people. Now all those dreams seem so far away. In another life. I looked up Ramsey Mikhailov after Dad and his two faced P.A. roused me from my fainting feat and explained to me that getting married to this total stranger is my best option — my only option, if I want to stay alive. But just like the Blackstone guy, there's no information on him on the net. Nothing. Nada. I do not even know what he looks like and I'm getting married to this man in two days.The preparations for the wedding are b
