"Mom..." I call out, my voice weak as my mother grips my arm tightly, pulling me through the hallway without slowing down, her heels echoing against the marble floors while Kyla walks beside us, silent and tense, her fingers wrapped around my other arm as though she expects me to fight back at any moment. My feet struggle to keep up with their pace, my legs still shaky from everything that happened downstairs, and I find myself stumbling more than once as they drag me forward withou

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 18 - Final Chance.

    V E L I N AMy heart thunders as he stands across from me, my head tilted up as I look at him. I don’t even realise how long I’ve been holding my breath for, until he’s still standing in front of me waiting, expecting an answer I don’t know how to give, and I feel my throat tighten as I shake my head slightly and whisper: “I-I can’t…" my voice coming out small as I feel myself backing down before I’ve even tried to explain myself properly.“You don’t have to be afraid, they’re not here to hurt you anymore,” Luciano says, and his voice is calm. I know he wants to help, to make this easier for me. But the fear of my family... it's not going to disappear that easily, not when it's been there for so long and tied to people who are still out there...“But I don’t know if you’ll hurt them…” I say, the words coming out quickly. I should be ashamed about that being the first place my mind goes. I don't even think about my own safety first, not even what happens to me next, but them, the same

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 17 - I'm not yours.

    V E L I N AI don’t even realise I’m still leaning into him until he speaks again, the action pulling me back to the present as I remember where I am and what I'm doing; who I’m standing in front of, and how none of this should feel as intense as it does right now...“You’re captivated by me…?” I whisper, and even as the words leave my mouth, I don't quite believe them myself. There's no way what he's saying is true, and all that's left now is for him to laugh at me and just tell me that it's all a joke. But he never does...“Yes,” he answers clearly and without hesitation, making my heart begin racing again, fast enough that I can feel it in my throat, making it even harder to think clearly and harder to remind myself that this man forced my life into a direction I never chose.“And I had to make you mine… and now you finally are…” he continues his choice of words leaves my heart fluttering and my mind completely conflicted. Mine... He's really claiming me as his... Disbelief cros

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 16 - Why are you being so kind to me?

    V E L I N AAs we walk through the hallways of the mansion, one thought crosses through my mind repeatedly, one that I can't ignore, and so eventually, I decide to say something about it...“Luciano…” I ask quietly, my voice soft as it slips out, glancing down at his hand that is still wrapped around mine, his pace calm while mine feels so unsteady.“Yes darling?” he answers, and I swear that word still throws me off every single time he says it, yet I haven’t gotten used to being addressed like that, like I don’t fully believe he means it...“Why are you being so kind to me…?” I question, my tone unsure as my brows furrow in confusion. I need to understand, I need to know if this is real or if this is just part of whatever game he is playing...He then glances at me briefly, not stopping, not slowing down.“Would you like me to be unkind…?” he asks, and there is a slight edge to that question, making me my head immediately, fearing that I've maybe crossed a line.“N-no…” I mumble, loo

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 15 - Meet your new Donna.

    V E L I N AI am still standing there when Luciano speaks again, and I swear it feels like everything is moving forward while I am stuck trying to catch up, trying to understand how my life has changed this quickly, how I went from begging my family to stay to now standing inside another man’s home while he introduces me as his wife.“I’m back, a2nd with much more than I expected,” Luciano says, his tone calm, almost pleased, and I glance at him, trying to understand what exactly he gained out of all this beyond territory and money, and how he could possibly be okay with marrying a complete stranger out of his own free will.“The Merranos got what was coming to them?” Kita asks, and that question makes my chest tighten instantly, my attention snapping toward her as I wait for his answer, not being sure if I want to hear it or not. That's when I remember the Diomanis came to our territory with a mission to destroy, and they seem to have succeeded much more than they anticipated...“On

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 14 - I can imagine this is a lot for you.

    V E L I N AWe finally arrive at his mansion, and I know I should be focused on the fact that I was just taken from my home and forced into a marriage I never agreed to, yet the moment the car slows and the gates open, my attention shifts to what awaits me outside the car. I find myself staring out the window, taking in everything as we drive in. I notice how different this place feels already, how much more peaceful and quiet it is compared to the Merrano estate, which sounds like a contradiction, especially when all my life I've known the Diomanis to be nothing but evil... The estate is wide and much bigger, far more luxurious than anything I am used to, and I'm still yet to convince myself that this all belongs to the man I have just married..."Welcome to your new home..." he says, and as my attention returns to him, I feel my stomach twist, his words registering in my mind. My home... The words don't sit right with me. Not now, maybe not ever. They're supposed to be comforting,

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 13 - We're going home.

    V E L I N A"Please let me go… please…" I hear myself saying, and at this point, I am not even sure who I am begging anymore. The guards still hold my arms as they drag me down the hallway, my feet barely keeping up, my heart racing so fast I can hear it in my ears. I hate how weak my voice sounds, but I can't stop myself. I am desperate, and I don't even try to hide it..."Be gentle with her please." Luciano says calmly from ahead of us, and that alone confuses me. He doesn't even look back immediately. He just says it, like he is reminding them to handle fragile cargo. He is the one forcing me to leave, yet he is also asking them to be gentle. The contradiction makes my head spin."Luciano..." I call out, my voice shaking as they continue dragging me forward.He finally glances back at me, and I wish he would not. The moment his eyes land on me, I feel that same pull again, and I hate it. I hate that even now, even while I am fighting against him, my body still reacts to him..."Ple
