AMARA

There’d been multiple points in my life where I was hit with a certain blood curdling chill. It was a variation of so many things. Nauseating, fear-inducing and intended to leave you on your knees.

This was one of those moments.

I didn’t know much about the second in command and had barely had a smooth interaction with him from the moment we met. And yet there was something about the way his stare seemed to tear right through me.

Some seconds later, I regained my composure, breaking the l

  • Claimed by My Rival   Chapter 11 Endearment

    DANTE“When was the last time you were plagued by such…feelings?”This wasn’t how I’d planned the eve of my engagement party. Before my therapist, and having to be the center of his observant, churning eyes. It was just a little to midnight and I really should have just booked it all the way to bed. But it had happened.Again. “If you even think this is going to work out, then you’ve made a fucking mistake, DeLaurentis.” The elder Vitale brother had phoned me, and talked long enough to keep what he wanted to say brief.None of their family members approved of the arrangement between me and Amara. And they would do whatever it took to get me out of the picture. Even if it meant tearing me down and relishing every last bit of it. The tipping point, however, had been the mention of my father.“My father sends his regards,” The man had said coldly. “To the late DeLaurentis. Although, he must be so disappointed.”And then my phone had ended up in smithereens, smashed against the wall ju

    AMARAThere’d been multiple points in my life where I was hit with a certain blood curdling chill. It was a variation of so many things. Nauseating, fear-inducing and intended to leave you on your knees.This was one of those moments.I didn’t know much about the second in command and had barely had a smooth interaction with him from the moment we met. And yet there was something about the way his stare seemed to tear right through me.Some seconds later, I regained my composure, breaking the long ensuing silence. “What do you mean?”“Don’t give me that.” He glared, taking one step closer. “I know about your arrangement with Dante well enough.”I mirrored the hard look in his eyes. “And?””He easily towered over me. Piercing eyes had me pinned to where I stood without so much of an effort. My tongue burned with the urge to goad him. See just how angry he could get.“Look, I don’t care about whatever it is you two have going on.” His gaze bounce over me for a brief second. “But if you

  • Claimed by My Rival   Chapter 9 To Be Remembered

    AMARAI knew the day was going to be absolute shit when I woke up with that stain on the bed.My stomach felt groggy, and my eyes raw. I hated that I’d cried so much the night before. But it had all been too much. Memories of Philip, and then everything that had later ensued after.The mood that had been on the verge of plummeting soured all the more when I noticed the red stain on the bed.Like instinct, there was a small knock on the door and a maid quietly slipped in. She had red hair that demanded attention and stark green eyes.“Good morning, ma’am.” She bowed her head. “I’m Farah, the head maid of the estate. Whatever it is you need, please know that we’re all at your beck and call. Your comfort is our priority and we’ll do whatever makes your home more to your liking.”Home.My lips thinned into a grim line, a wave of nausea clawing at my throat. Such a warm word for a place that felt more like a prison. I simply nodded, forcing myself off the bed. Her eyes lingered on the sta

  • Claimed by My Rival   Chapter 8 Compromise

    DANTEI watched as a myriad of emotions clouded her face. Her eyes widened, pupils dilating just enough that I could see a brief glint of shock in them.Then, her eyes lit up in flames.“In hours?” She glared. “That’s not going to happen. You don’t just get to spring that up on me, and expect me to dance to your every bidding like some fucking puppet.”My eyes flickered to the staff, their heads bent, eyes not daring to meet mine. I had a reputation to maintain, one that wouldn’t be spoiled by her insolence.Without thinking, I leaned even closer, glaring hard enough to send the message clean and clear.“You do not talk to me that way, Amara. I’ve been far too lenient with you.”Her glare didn’t waver. “I am not ready for some fancy party to sell this just yet. Give me…two days.”I didn’t respond immediately.She let out a small breath. “Two days, and I’ll ready myself into the perfect little fiancé you want.”My eyes lingered on her for a moment. The only time my fingers ever twitche

  • Claimed by My Rival   Chapter 7 The Devil You Know

    AMARATrue to his words, Dante had wasted no time in getting us packed and ready for the trip. Most of it had been handled by his second in command, Cassian. I’d barely gotten a single word from the man, save for the grunt when he’d gestured for me to get into the jet.Now I was about to enter a whole new domain.A new life, some place different from where my father’s words were absolute. The more I tried to calm down, the harder it was to forget Philip’s unconscious body in my head.“Amara,”Dante took the seat in front of him. I sent him an unamused glare. “There are literally so many other seats you could have taken. Why this one?”“My jet,” He gestured at the place with his finger. “My rules.”“Fuck you.” I grumbled, turning back to the window I’d been staring out of. The whole scenery felt like a mockery itself.This should have been me and Philip. On some plain far away from New York. It should have been us for crying out loud.Instead, I’d somehow gotten myself into an engagem

  • Claimed by My Rival   Chapter 6 A New Cage

    DANTE“What the actual fuck, Dante?”Cassian wasted no time and spun up on me as soon as I entered the house. The underboss did not look the slightest bit happy, eyes searching through mine for some sort of explanation.“Oi, calm down. You have questions, yes? Glaring at me won’t give you the answers you want.” I fixed him a pointed look.He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Why did you decide to get engage to her? A fucking Vitale. And you didn’t tell me. No warnings whatsoever.”“It wasn’t planned.” I snarled back, making my way towards the island and grabbing a glass. I’d have pulled out a cigarette but I wasn’t the smoking type. What I needed was something to keep my mouth busy through Cassian’s rant.He followed right after me. “Since when did you things without planning and thinking it through?”I grabbed a bottle of negroni, helping myself to a glass. “Since I stumbled upon an asset.”I finally turned to Cassian, noting the look of frustration in his eyes. It had all
