CLAIMED BY THE DELUCCAS Chapter Fourteen
NOORIA Hussain stretches out his hand with a smile. Every thing in me screams at me not to accept his greeting. To turn around and bolt out of that place and never return. But with the way my mother and sister are staring at me, it's a huge doubt they won't ask questions if I do what's on my mind. I reach out against my better judgement and take his hand. He squeezes and gives me his signature smile. The one that would come off to anyone else as innocent, anyone but me. I know very well what that smile means. “It’s nice to see you again, Nooria,” Hussain says smoothly, his voice polished and charming. His thumb brushes the back of my hand in a way that looks innocent to outsiders but feels like a deliberate reminder. “You look even more beautiful than the last time we met.”Faiza’s eyebrows shoot up. She glances between us, curiosity sharpening her features. “You two know each other?”I pull my hand back as quickly as I can without making a scene, forcing a tight smile onto my fa

NOORIA.White.Everything is fucking white.The ceiling above me is blindingly white, smooth and sterile, with a single recessed light that hums softly like it’s mocking me. My eyelids feel heavy, glued shut, but I force them open wider. Am I dead? Is this what death looks like, an endless white room with no edges and no escape?My chest aches. My throat is dry. Something beeps steadily to my left, rhythmic and annoying. I try to turn my head, but the movement sends a dull throb through my skull. I blink again, slower this time, and the world starts to sharpen.Voices.I hear voices; soft, worried, familiar.Fi and Mikky.If I’m dead, does that mean they’re dead too? Did Valentino come for them after he shot me? The image flashes behind my eyes again — his gun pointed straight at my face, the cold click of the trigger. My stomach lurches. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to push the nightmare away, but it only makes the beeping louder.“Nooria? Hey, she’s waking up.”Fi’s voice is clos

NOORIA “Sit the fuck down and have your meal, before I bend you over this table and teach you why you shouldn't be late for breakfast." Valentino’s cold voice yanks me out of my own world as I stand frozen in the middle of the dining room. I don't know how long I stood there, but the picture of a young Valentino and a woman I assume to be his mother captured my attention the moment I step into the room. " Didn't you hear me, Amor?” He growls when I'm still standing despite his demand. I fight the urge to roll my eyes as I make my way to the table and take a seat opposite him. There goes the gentle person from yesterday. It is indeed true that good things never last. I make myself a toast and pour myself a glass of milk, surprised it's even at the table. My husband doesn't look like the type. “Didn't know you drank milk," I murmur. “I don't. You do." Oh! I didn't know he knew that. As I bite into my toast, my eyes find it's way to the photo on the wall and it's really difficul

NOORIA The deep, dangerous voice comes from the shadows beside the bed.Valentino is sitting in the armchair, fully dressed, one leg crossed over the other, watching me with storm-gray eyes that see straight through every lie I’m about to tell.My heart slams against my ribs so hard I’m sure he can hear it. The bedroom lights I just turned on cast long shadows across his face, sharpening the scar through his left eyebrow and turning his gray eyes almost black. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t raise his voice. He just sits there like a king who already knows every secret I’m carrying.A closer look at him shows me the scar is fainter and smaller. What the fuck! “Where were you?” he asks again, softer this time. Almost gentle. That gentleness shocks me more than any shout ever could.I swallow hard, fingers twisting in the hem of the oversized black dress shirt I’m still wearing. “I… I went to see my family. My father called. He summoned me home. I didn’t think…”“You didn’t think.” He cut

NOORIA The car pulls up to the familiar iron gates of my family home, and my stomach twists into a knot so tight I can barely breathe. The driver — one of Valentino’s silent shadows — doesn’t say a word as I step out. He just nods once and waits, engine idling, like he knows I won’t be long.I walk up the marble steps on shaky legs. The front door is already cracked open, light spilling onto the porch like a warning. I push it wider and step inside.The slap comes before I can even close the door behind me.My father’s hand cracks across my cheek so hard my head snaps sideways. Pain explodes across my face, sharp and hot, joining the bruises Valentino left on my neck and the soreness still lingering between my thighs from last night.“You ungrateful little whore!” Baba roars, chest heaving. “You married that criminal? That murderer? After everything we taught you? After everything we sacrificed for this family’s honor?”I stumble back, hand flying to my stinging cheek. My mother rush

VALENTINO I sigh, tapping my desktop with my fingers, already running out of patience. I hate tardiness, most of all. It pisses me off when people can't keep to something as simple as time. I don't work with tardy people, but there are just a bunch of fuckers I can't keep out of my life no matter how much I wish to. A good example is the fucker I'm waiting for. Just when I'm about to give up waiting and call him, the door swings open and he strides in calmly. He walks to the couch and flops down on it, casually smoking his life away. “No smoking in my office, how many times do I have to tell you that?* I grit out, but he doesn't seem to give a fuck. " Why, “ he asks calmly. " Because you got married and all of a sudden I'm not allowed to do the shit I want?” He scoffs. " You're not allowed to do shit you want in my house.” He rolls his eyes and keeps on smoking. The enemies he goes around making won't kill him, I will. And it's going to be anytime soon if he keeps pissing me of
