DELANOIf someone had told me I'd be getting married in the blink of an eye, I'd have killed him with a straight bullet right in the middle of his forehead. But here, today Ariel sent men to move her things into my house. Tomorrow is the wedding and I can't say I'm not anxious. Not when I know the plans we both had for each other.To murder each other.It was a crazy plan and if it worked out, one of us would mourn the other soon enough. It's either she becomes a widow or I become a widower."Did you hear the freaking news?!" Jay rushed into my living room and immediately picked the remote, turning the TV on."Jay." I looked at him."Sorry," He mouthed, but didn't turn it off anyway."A girl named Sasha attacks a man named Colt and his wife for abandoning their child many years ago. We all know her, a most important model who now has lost her whole career. As for Mr Colt, his company was bombed last night. This is a shocking experience as no one knows t
ARIEL"So....Sasha?" Asshole Colt looked at me, taking his eyes away from the road."I didn't think you'd come to my company. You should have given me a call." He said."How then would you know that I'm really interested in you? I prove through actions and not just words." I smiled at him and his lips curved upwards."You are very bold. Not many of your type are this brave." He said and my teeth hit each other in an attempt to smile. Many of my type. Wow. "What type?" I asked as he pulled into his compound, bringing the car to a stop.For a CEO who talks big, his house was ridiculously small. "This–" He looked at me and gave a nervous laugh. "Welcome to my home." He muttered instead, getting out of the car.I didn't wait for a gentleman act as I also stepped out of the car instantly and walked behind him into the house."Where's your wife?" I looked around the house. Pretty decent for a half murder scene."She's out of the country.""Hmm, I see." I muttered with a smile, "Perfect."
ARIEL I clenched my teeth tightly. My fingers bruised into my palm from the way my hands were fisted angrily. "This is not right, dad." I said and walked past him, getting into the house. My anger boiled hot. How could he do that? Just because I failed in killing that nuisance doesn't make it okay for all of my responsibilities to be seized! It was all that viper's fault? If he had just died. "Ariel." "I just want to be alone, Lila." I jumped into her sentence and walked into my room, banging the door shut. My mind was anything but stable right now as I sat in front of my laptop. We had all the database of all the children in the church orphanage that the church didn't even have. From their real parents, dead ones to those who abandoned their children, deciding they didn't need them again, to those who were not capable enough to train them. Everything was right here. I could see them as I scrolled. The children were the victims in all of this. Stripped from living a perfect life
DELANOWhen did D'Leonardo D'Caprico start to care about his son's life? It was something... unexpected and fake."How did it go?" Jay met me when I came out of the house, walking towards the car."Same old tale. He's trying to make me kill Ariel." I replied."Expected. An eye for an eye." Jay said.Both eyes for an eye. Better rule."Ariel would try to kill you too, so..." He shrugged."Jay." I called as I rested my hand on the door, "I'll never try to kill a woman.... through marriage. It's a stupid game to play. Stabbing while sleeping, it's not fun.""This is not a matter of fun. It's life and death." He grabbed the door from my hand, pulling it open and motioning for me to go in.""Besides, Ariel would resort to those methods too." He said, getting into the driver's seat. Arguing with Jay was pointless, it didn't seem to me that Ariel would play childish games like that, she looked too smart."Do you feel nervous about the wedding? It's in three
DELANO"YOUR FATHER ASKS YOU TO COME," JAY SAID. "If he needs me, he would call me," I muttered in reply. The old man knew better than to disturb me on a sunny morning. "He's angry."It was enough to make my head snap towards Jay, "Angry?""He seemed to have found out that you were trying to take over the port." He reported."He didn't care to find out before. Now he cares?""He cares because you were the one who pulled the attention of Saint D'Angelo to you?" It was a puzzling question from Jay."But I also brought him something, didn't I?" I asked, my brow moving upwards and Jay sighed, his fingers rubbing on his temples aggressively."Delano, you-""If he wants to see me, he should call me. It's my business I did on the port, not his. He doesn't have the right to interfere." "This is exactly why Saint tried to kill you, because he knows you are just so hard to crack. Only if you try to keep your head calm would you move attention away from you."
DELANOI MADE A QUICK JUDGEMENT OF HER CLOTHES. Big red polo on brown and black baggy jean that hung right on her waist. She held a bag over her shoulder and her headphone on her head. She definitely didn't look like she was here for some.... wedding dresses.Her expression morphed from shock to anger instantly as she stared at me."Did you stalk me?" She asked instantly without waiting for another minute.I cocked my head slightly, "What do you think, Kitten?""I am not...your kitten." Her voice was, almost, violent."Woah," I raised my hands slightly. I wasn't sure if she said that 'that way' for me to be scared of her. If she did, it didn't fvcking work. She was silent for a minute, her nostrils flaring slightly in defiance but I could feel her eyes lingering on my face, taking in every detail. Her chest heaved faster. I smirked."Checking out your husband before your wedding day?""No. Just plastering yourself to the back of my mind, so that I won't wa
