登入PRESENT DAYMy thoughts were all over the place. Nico said he wouldn’t cheat on me, but he also said he wouldn’t be sharing a bed with me. It hurt more than I liked, and I wanted to fix it, but my mind was blank.Serena didn’t know, but what she overheard was what she suspected it was. How was I going to explain away all the things I said? Nico was clearly doing things because that was what spouses were supposed to do.The flowers were because he saw how upset I was. He didn’t do it because he wanted to. When he left me on the balcony, all I felt was frustration. He was pushing me away. He said he didn’t trust me.There was no way he would invite me to be in his meetings. And if he didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to get information to bring down his organization. I had to find out how to earn back his trust.When I went back to the bedroom to find his present, I found it laid out on the bed. It was a long black silk slip dress. It was accompanied by silk stilettos and a jewelry set contain
A YEAR AGOThe man led me to another room. My heart was pounding as the uncertainty of what was about to happen crept in. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I comprehended what I was getting myself into.It didn’t help ease my anxiety when both of my hands were tied up with rope above my head. They were tied up so high that my feet were dangling. I could only stand on my tippy toes to be able to keep myself on the ground.Next, my feet were tied apart, each tied to a metal pole on either side of me. I was completely naked. There was a ball gag in my mouth preventing me from speaking, and I was still blindfolded.I recognized that if anything happened to me at that moment, there was nothing I would be able to do about it. I was bound, gagged, I couldn’t see, and no one knew where I was. It took an insane amount of trust for the stranger.The ropes were eating away at my skin, and the more I struggled, the more it dug into my skin. I knew it would leave marks in the morning. My arms were scr
Nico and I may as well have shared different bedrooms. He didn’t sleep in the same room, but all his clothes were in the master bedroom along with mine. The last time he and I slept in the same room was way before we even got married.After Tally told him all about the phone call she overheard, things were never the same. I could try and convince myself it was because my plans would go to shit if he didn’t trust me, but deep down I yearned to go back to how we were.In the bedroom, Nico was on the balcony looking over everything. He was smoking a cigar with his back to me. He was in a black button-down shirt and black slacks. His hair was tousled, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.Surprisingly, he was the least tatted of all the brothers. He had a few tattoos here and there, but he wasn’t covered in them. He could wear a suit, and you wouldn’t guess he had tattoos. That is, if he buttoned his shirt all the way up and wore a tie.He must have sensed my presence because he t
PRESENT DAYI woke up to black roses covering my bedroom floor. The scent was almost overwhelming, but it was alluring. I love black roses a lot. I didn’t know who would fill my bedroom with roses, so I left my room and walked out.There were a bunch of black rose petals reading down the stairs to the living area. It was full of more black roses. The whole place smelled like it. I was very confused, as I hadn’t told anyone I loved black roses. I started to think Samson had sent them and I panicked. If Nico found out, all our plan would blow up. No. Samson would never do something like that. He knew how hard we had worked to make sure I was able to marry into the DeLuca family. He wouldn’throw it all away to send me what seemed like millions of roses. A gasp behind me broke my train of thought. Serena was standing at the bottom of the stairs in colorful silk pajama shorts. She covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. “Wow. I wonder who sent this.”Her tone told me she knew exac
A YEAR AGOI could feel every inch of his strong body on me. He was pressing into me from behind, shirtless, in nothing but slacks. I could feel it. Every part of him was rock solid, including his cock.These were all things about him that I had noticed when we first met. You could tell he worked out just by looking at him, and I could see how huge he was based on the thick bulge on his pants.But feeling it was a whole different thing. And to add on to all of that, he was promising me a night of nothing but pure pleasure. And pain.Then he started moving those fingers inside of me slowly at first, like he was easing me into it. I threw my head back on his chest, his other hand still around my neck.I melted into him almost immediately. The sounds that came out of my throat were those I couldn’t control. There was something almost torturous about how slow he was finger-fucking me. He filled me to the hilt with them and drove them in so deep that I almost unraveled. I would do anythi
PRESENT DAYIt was official. I was going insane. I was stalking Nico’s finances, the newspaper articles about him, and anything I could find on him on the internet. I wanted to know if he was seeing other women or not. There was no other reason why he didn’t want to touch me and look at me other than the fact that he found another woman that he cou;d conquer. A man like Nico was not held down by the constraints of marriage. He already broke all other societal rules like taking lives, stealing, trafficking diamonds, ammunition, and drugs, and money laundering. Cheating was the bottom of the barrel for him and even though I was supposed to hate him, the thought of him sleeping with other women almost sent me to the mental asylum. He was still in New York with Nero and Enzo and despite the fact that Nero was also married and surprisingly faithful to Serena, I didn’t trust Nico. I monitored paparazzi pictures and articles to see if he was seen with any women.Of course I didn’t find an
