EMPIRE OF LIES Stay still
ARIELSome people really act differently from how they looked…or from the stories heard about them. And an example of people like this…is Delano.“What are we doing here?” I asked, my eyes darting towards him.He shrugged casually, passing me an ice cream cone he’d just gotten from the seller, at an amusement park.“I assumed you must have come here a lot since you take care of the children in your father’s house.”“Why would you mention them?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. The children…were a sensitive topic and I would prefer to stay clear of them if we were having a discussion. Everything could be spoken about..except the children.“Don’t tell me you have a bad memory with the amusement park?” His brows shifted. “If you do, we could leave. I don’t mind.”It wasn't a mockery. Just…pure concern. I could see them in his eyes.I blinked, looking away as my tongue went down the ice cream. I needed all the sugar I could get right now.“Winter?”“What do you take me for? It’s just an amuse
EMPIRE OF LIES Lost
ARIELI push Delano away like he burnt me. So hard, he had to catch himself before he could crash into the cushion chair.Gritting my teeth, I said, “You must be out of your mind!”“What?” Delano shrugged, rubbing his fingers underneath his chin as he studied me calmly, without a flinch of fear or remorse in his eyes. Was I the only one feeling flustered by the things he had said?Realizing that, I stepped backwards slightly, feeling too aware of how the hairs on my skin rose up. His head cocked slightly, he was definitely enjoying this.“We are married. It’s such a pain we haven’t had our wedding night yet.”“Don’t speak of such nonsense with me. This marriage is strictly business.” I snapped and walked out of him, rushing up the stairs to my room.The moment the door closed behind me, my purse fell from my shaking hands. I hated this moment. And the fact that his words got to me. I hated it all.By the way…why were we the only ones living in this house?****“I want a maid.” I said,
EMPIRE OF LIES Unexpected dinner parade
ARIEL"Ariel. So," D'Leonardo cut the steak on his plate with precised measurement and concentration, you could tell he tortured people in this manner. His eyes moved up to me, "now that you are married to Delano, you can tell us why you tried to kill him at the party, can't you?"Everyone stared at me. His cousins and their parents, Colt and my father, even Delano. He has an expectant look on his face, like he wanted to see what I would use to cover up–but I wasn't stupid. Anyone could tell that D'Leonardo already knows the truth."He did business on my father's port, which is totally unacceptable," I said fiercely and I could see one of his cousins raised his eyes up, a smirk on his lips. I didn't care much about him. He seemed too stupid for me to bother. My age, maybe."Is?" D'Leonardo arched a brow, "Do you mean it's still inappropriate for him to do business there? I mean, you are married."I smiled skillfully, "Business should be separated from family. If Delano wish
EMPIRE OF LIES Family
ARIELI smiled with no lesser pretension than what D'Caprico threw to me. My smile was graceful and perfect like what I have been trained to be. However, I knew I could never fit into the perfect mafia family. Girls were meant to be docile, quiet, obedient, I was not that type. I was not trained for marriage, I was trained for war. And they would never understand that. Glad, my father hadn't forced me to submission like other empires did, but even that was my choice."How are you doing?" "I'm fine," I replied sweetly, placing my hand on Delano's with nothing less than a sinful smile, "Delano has been treating me fairly okay. Just a day after marriage and I feel good."Delano let out a slight scoff of amusement and my fingers tightened on his shoulders in a warning mark.He'd better stop that sh*t right now."That's good, considering the fact that you wanted to kill him, just a week ago. I can say you guys really changed sides pretty fast. How does your fa
EMPIRE OF LIES Beauty
DELANOShe took her time coming down the stairs.Measured steps. Perfect posture. Eyes straight ahead, on me. Like she wanted me to see her, but not enough to beg for it. A performance, tailored and precise. And I had to admit, she played the part well.The dress was deep emerald green, the kind of shade that caught the light like water on dark glass. Expensive fabric. Cut high on the neck, low on the back, hugging her waist like it had been tailored by a man who wanted to die for her. Classy. Strategic. Not made to seduce, but to be remembered. And it worked.It clung to her curves in all the right ways, but left just enough to the imagination. She wore power like perfume, soft, but laced with poison. Her hair was swept up, just a few strands left loose to soften her jawline. A calculated mess. I recognized the move. Hide the blade in beauty.I didn’t move. Just watched.She was beautiful, yes. But beauty didn’t mean much in our world. I’d seen diamond
EMPIRE OF LIES Unbridled hate
ARIELI let out all my frustration into the punching bag in front of me, hitting it hardly with all the strength I could summon.*I don't care what deal you have with Saint, but you would never be able kill me. Not now, definitely not later.*Was that a challenge? Not being able to kill him? I was going crazy in the head trying to show him that I could actually do that. Too bad he wouldn't be able to remember who killed him after his death, but I'd make sure he captured my face when I'm stabbing him with the knife.I hissed as I gave the punching bag a last blow and it shook under the impact. I held it to keep it steady and after it stopped moving widely, I stepped backwards.Idiot! Delano was an idiot! I released a deep breath as I removed the boxing pads and pulled my hair out of the high ponytail. Streaks of sweats went down my face and I wished that was my frustration leaking out from my skin pores. Reaching for the bottle of water on the beach,
