Rebecca woke up with a soft moan escaping her lips. She was met with an unfamiliar ceiling looking down at her and a skull splitting headache pinned her down as she tried to sit up.

She groaned softly and laid back down with her eyes closed. Opening her eyes a few moments later, she turned to her side and was met by a sight she didn't believe was real.

    “How troubled is his young soul?” –Rebecca woke up with a soft moan escaping her lips. She was met with an unfamiliar ceiling looking down at her and a skull splitting headache pinned her down as she tried to sit up. She groaned softly and laid back down with her eyes closed. Opening her eyes a few moments later, she turned to her side and was met by a sight she didn't believe was real. Sitting next to the bed was the most handsome sight she had ever seen. Diego was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful as he slept.Staring at him now, he looked no more than an ordinary man, like a normal man who was sleeping peacefully as anyone would. His beautiful eyes remained close and his hair fell over his face softly. His lips pressed together softly and his facial features just seemed to go impossibly well with each other. She couldn't help but to think that Diego was made in the image of an angel. Or maybe he was an angelic being himself. Holding on to her han

    “Why the hell am I losing control all because of that damn…” –Diego let out a soft sigh, there was a sudden uneasiness in his chest that he didn't quite understand. Why was he feeling that way? And to make things worse, all for a girl! Even when he was faced with death on several occasions, he never felt his heart beating so quickly. But now, all because he was so close to a particular girl. What was she doing to him…? He flinched as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. Turning around, he noticed it was his brother. Chase stood with surprise written all over his face. He had never seen his brother so agitated before. His thick brow arched as he asked. “Are you… okay?” Clearing his throat, Diego nodded his head. “Of course, why wouldn't I be?”“You look so… off balance.” Chase expressed. “Also, what was really happening back there? We're you truly just saving her from falling and not trying to hurt her or something?” It took a second for Diego to remember the lie Rebecca had to

    “A messy bedroom, like the mess in my mind.” –Rebecca managed to force a smile to her face through her panting heart. She could feel Chase’s eyes on her as she walked towards the mess she had made on the floor but didn't want to look back. Her face was as red as it could get and she found it hard to breathe properly. How long had she been holding her breath? She crouched down to her knees and began to pick the shards of the glass cup. ‘Calm yourself, calm yourself, calm yourself.’ She kept repeating to herself in her head like a mantra. “Ah!” She winced as a shard pierced into her skin. Red blood immediately began to sip from her finger and she put it to her lips and sucked on it. Managing to pick up the remaining pieces without hurting herself, she hurried to the kitchen to throw them away and took a broom and mop to finish up the cleaning. “How did you make such a mess?” A feminine voice asked from behind her. Rebecca flinched as she turned around. “What the fuck!” With eye

  • Claimed By The Mafia Brothers    20: What did we do?

    “Did he remember what actually happened?” –Diego sat at his table, staring off into the distance. He had a million and one things bothering him and he didn't even know what to do. How was he supposed to sneak himself into the midst of people who already knew him and recognized him so clearly? He had to go to the gala but there was no way he or his brother and any of his trusted men could go there without being recognized. He knew he had to come up with a plan. The room suddenly felt stuffy, he needed to get some fresh air. Running his tattooed and ringed fingers through his hair, he rose to his feet and started towards the door. With a hand on the handle, he pulled it open and froze, locking eyes with a very disturbed looking woman. If only he was the kind to be frightened easily, he would have screamed and flinched, but he stared at her with surprise in his eyes. His gaze lowered from her flustered looking face down to her hand that was holding his cup of coffee before looki

    “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 ease in her that she could not fully comprehend. Something in her made her believe she was safe where she was, especially with a man like Chase around the corners of the house, but that safeness was slowly starting to flicker after hearing such words shout Diego from his own brother. As much as she hated to admit it, she was a little scared. She shook her head, “no, I'm going to survive or die trying.” She reminded herself in a tone of affirmation. A sigh drew from her lips, no one tol

    "I don't plan to survive, I plan to live..."_Rebecca felt so warm inside for the first time since she was brought to the Gonzalez penthouse. To know that there was someone within those walls that sincerely cared about her gave her courage. She rose to her feet and stared at the door for a silent moment. She had betrayed everything she was supposed to stand for, she had let the man that took her father's life have sex with her and worse, he didn't even remember it!She had let her guard down, allowing herself to be swayed by his good looks and possessive charms, but it was high time she opened her eyes. “Chase… Thank you… for caring about me. For looking out for me but… I refuse to be afraid of him. He might be a monster but I'm worse.” She spoke with so much fierceness. Chase sprang to his feet and took her hand in his. “You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. If you get on his bad side, you could die… tonight.” She gulped down, feeling a lump in her throat, but it d
