“Will I ever come to terms with this truth?”

Rebecca sat in the comfort of her bedroom, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.

How her life shifted from being the free woman she was to a caged rat never allowed to see the sky again in just a split second still marveled her.

But for some reason, it was something she had come to accept. Not that she had fully come to terms with being a prisoner– not to mention for a man like Diego of all people– but there was a sort of

    “It’s not supposed to hurt but it still kinda does. Heck, it hurts a lot.” – Rebecca pulled the blanket fully over herself as cold air whipped against her bare skin. She moved to snuggle closer to the man lying next to her, only to realize that she was alone in bed. With a tired yawn, she opened her eyes and sat up. The night before had left her tired and aching, especially down there. It made her wish she hadn’t tried to mess with him. She had used up all her strength, but it still wasn’t enough for him. He was a monster! But her own monster, and she liked him like that. “Where did he go?” she asked herself. “Did he leave already? Diego! Diego?” she called out his name, but there was no response. He had probably gone back to his own room. She rose to her feet and went straight into the bathroom to soak herself in hot water, hoping it would soothe the throbbing down there. After about thirty minutes, she got dressed and went down for breakfast. The two brothers w

    “Playing with fire only leaves you with a throbbing sensation that makes you wish you hadn't.”– Diego loved how she looked at him, he couldn't help the smirk that made its way to his face. She was all red, staring at him with widened eyes. Her lashes battered repeatedly as she obviously felt flustered. "What are you doing?" She asked him in an almost shaking tone. He tightened his hold around her small waist, pulling her even closer to his chest. "Why are you acting like you did something wrong? What did you do?" His brow arched as he asked. She seemed so flustered, probably wondering why he wasn't saying anything about what he had seen. But he wanted her to confess with her own lips, it was more fun that way. She stuttered as she tried to put words together. "I'm not — I'm not acting like I did anything wrong. I mean, I'm just flustered too, uh... To see you here. What are you — what are you doing here?" "Playing dumb huh..."She let her gaze fall to her feet. "I'm not... I'm

    “How it sucks to be misunderstood and unheard…” –Everything had settled and everyone had dispersed, but Rebecca still wanted to remain in the solace of beautiful flowers. She had finally stopped crying, but she didn't feel like going back to her room. It was too suffocating in there. "You're prettier." A masculine voice said from behind her. She looked back and saw Chase standing there. A slight smile split her face. "Hey..." She muttered softly. He walked up to her and sat down next to her. "I saw you slip out of the crowd teary-eyed. Did you feel bad for me?" he asked, arching his thick brow. Rebecca laughed softly and rubbed her hands against her jeans. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know if it would be out of place. "What is it?" he asked as he slightly nudged her with his shoulder. With a smile on her face, she decided to speak up. "Don't you think you overreacted today? Both at breakfast and at the gathering."Chase smiled softly and looked at the a

  • Claimed By The Mafia Brothers    A Reason to Care

    “Will I really watch for him to become a shell?”–Rebecca watched as Chase walked forward toward his brother. He stood beside Diego and spoke audibly. “What the hell is this supposed to achieve, huh?”Diego let out a soft sigh, obviously starting to feel pissed off. “Chase–”“There is a truth my brother won’t say, but I will say it. He favours Vincenzo more than all of us. We’re like slaves to him, but only Vincenzo is like family to him. Have you all not noticed this?” Chase spoke on without a care for his brother’s presence.He continued, not caring that he was being disrespectful. “You all must have noticed this, you can’t lie to yourselves. Only that dog gets all the love, but the rest of us, we’re nothing.”“Chase!” Diego yelled out.Chase turned to look at his brother as he poked the side of his cheek with his tongue, letting out a sigh. “I can’t take it anymore. Diego, you are my brother, and I love you. I want what’s best for you, but you don’t see that, and you trust an outs

    “I don’t want to get involved in this. For heaven’s sake…”–Diego buried himself in his work. He needed something to take his mind off everything that was going on. It was too draining, and he had more pressing issues at hand to deal with.He went back to the work he had been doing earlier, then moved on to some other documents that needed to be reviewed.A sudden knock on his door made his head prop up, and he relaxed into his seat as he noticed his brother walking into his study.“It seems like I am disturbing you,” Chase said as he approached Diego’s desk.“What can I help you with?” Diego’s thick brow arched as he asked.Chase smiled. “When are you going to punish Vincenzo for his reckless move? He’s still within this building, and it makes me uncomfortable.” He folded his arms across his chest as he spoke.Diego laughed softly. “Why does it make you uncomfortable? He has been in our home for over two decades, and all of a sudden, his presence is making you uncomfortable?”“Maybe

  • Claimed By The Mafia Brothers    Her Dad’s Killer

    “We will both pay for our sin of falling in love.”–Rebecca watched as Diego poured his heart out to her, telling her things he would have never said to her just a few days ago.She couldn’t believe that a little kid had been forced to let go of his dreams just because he wanted to do a good deed.It was unfair, and it probably hurt Diego more because he was just a kid back then.She could feel his pain. She saw it in the way he gazed out the window, the way his voice grew close to trembling, and the way his hand on the window frame tightened into a fist.She could see his pain in everything about him. But he refused to meet her eyes, probably because he knew the emotions that would be inside her after hearing those words.Who would not be sad about it? Who would not pity him? But Diego detested it. It made him feel little and helpless, and she knew it.So she decided to talk about her own dream. But now she was wishing she had just kept quiet about her dreams.Tears welled up in Reb

    I'll serve you, but you'll wish I didn't. _Diego was out of bed before his alarm went off. He went into his bathroom to freshen up. He cursed underneath his breath as he remembered that he was meant to stay away from baths. He wiped his face and neck and other body parts with a wet towel before

    “Say my name. Say it once, say it twice.” _Rebecca almost slapped herself right there. How could she think about sex? Sex with a man like… him??? She could feel her cheeks heating up from the irresponsible thoughts that swarmed her head. How come she let herself waver so much? “What are you thi

The last thing he remembered was going to the balcony for a smoke. Rubbing his forehead slightly, he tried to rememb
