Claimed by My Rival Chapterr 13 The Birth of a Vendetta
AMARARays of sunlight slipped through the curtains, more invasive when it should have been pleasing. I tossed a little, failing to push away the dull throb at the back of my head.“Shit.”I forced myself off the bed after unceremoniously failing to fall back into that dreamless slumber. Instinctively, my fingers moved to my neck.I winced.There’d likely be bruises there. Memories of last night flashed in my head without respite. Dante’s rage filled eyes. And the surety that I was going to die.What if he had actually killed me…A sharp knock on the door cut through my thoughts. I didn’t bother hiding my annoyance when the maids’ faces came into view.“Donna.” They all bowed in unison.Something about that word made my stomach tighten. I was Dante’s fiancée now. And by fault, this new title was mine to bear, even I didn’t want it.The head maid raised her head. “We’re here to help you get ready for the day.”Maybe it had been the events of yesterday. Or just the inner walls of my min

AMARATwo hours.That was how long I’d been pacing for. How long it had been since we’d been forced to bring the engagement party to an abrupt end.Dante was quite the actor himself. His eyes held the tensed pain he probably was going through. But none of the guests read through him. Cassian had been there to pull him away quickly enough.And I’d been told to head back to my room.I bit my lip, kicking my heels off before turning to the mirror. Staring back at my reflection, it was hard to ignore how I mirrored everything expected of the wife of a don. A trophy. All a performance.Dante didn’t love me, and I held the same endearment. But in the months to come, we’d spend all the time convincing the general public that we actually did.“Are you okay?”I really meant it at the time. Of course I’d done a bit of research on Dante. Learning he had an allergy to cherries had been a bit blindsiding in all honesty.But oh how wonderful it was to have seen him so…powerless.He’d known it was m

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

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.
