MARINA

To be sincere, Mr Torricelli’s stare is making me feel a little bit weird.

Is my clothing okay.

Is he looking at how fat or thick I was.

Does he think I’m weird?

Can you stop overthinking? He’s just staring no big deal. Ana said she is my subconscious or the other me. She is the one I talk to whenever I feel lonely.”

Brace yourself girl he is just a normal person like you, no need to fret, just talk to him like a civilised person.

“Do you want some cookies or cupcakes, sir?” I asked Mr. Torricelli carefully with my voice a little bit low.

“Sure, I’ll have the cookies,” he said with a smile as he fully entered the kitchen. He settled on another barstool, looking at me silently.

I immediately picked up a plate and served him some cookies, I felt my hand tremble as I passed the plate to him.

“Thank you,” he said as he collected the plate.

“Mom, you aren’t having any,” Vincent said as he brought his cupcake close to my lips, wanting to feed me. I al

  • Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don    Chapter 28

    MARINAI was in the kitchen cutting apples to make an apple pie. My stomach was tight, my hands were restless, that’s why I took the job to make an apple pie. The cabin was too quiet, the boys were outside playing with some guards, doing whatever it takes to make themselves happy. Then the door banged open, Vincent rushed in first, his face lit up with excitement. “Mommy, Uncle Carlos said daddy got the bad guy,” My hands stopped cutting as I tried to understand what he just said.Xavier rushed in also with a walkie talkie in his hands “Mommy, daddy is coming,” “How did you guys know that?” I asked.“Uncle Carlos,” Xavier said holding the walkie talkie up, I collected it from him and pressed the button.“Carlos,” I said, my voice low and tight. “What happened?” The static cracked, and then Carlos voice came through. “Boss is inbound, no injuries, Stephano’s neutralized, he went in alone, we’ve got him, we are almost at the cabin,” My hands dropped, I didn’t know if what I felt was

  • Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don    Chapter 27

    ALEXANDERThe door closed behind me with a soft click, I leaned against the wooden frame of the door, my fingers tightening into firsts at my sides. The silence.Marina’s silence. It is unbearable. She has every right to hate me, to loathe me, to despise me. I don’t know what I feel for Marin. Alll I know is that’s what I feel for her is greater than like. I don’t know how I found my self falling for her, the crazy need to protect her, to care for her, to worship her, but she resents me just because I didn’t tell her about my fiancé. I regret not ending the engagement the moment I found out I was falling for her. The way she is, with my sons, treats them like they are hers, winning whenever either of them falls. God! Seeing her with the boys just makes me want her mor, but she can’t be mine, she doesn’t want me, shethinksk I’m a cheater.I’m not.Sarah and I weren’t really serious, it started as just a business deal, but then I thought of the kids, thought of how they needed a m

    MARINA“Baby, watch your steps, no running” I called out behind Xavier, walking fast to stop him from a fall, running around the cabin early in the morning.It’s been a week since we arrived here, let’s just say the cabin was just for the safety of the kids and I, Mr Torricelli is almost never here, I’m not complaining, I like it, I’m more free, I don’t need to work hard to ignore him, he is doing the job quite well.Just one week with the kids in this cabin, and I have bonded more with them, I’m loving every second of it.Carlos just comes in once in a while to check up on the kids and I if Mr Torricelli has gone for a long time. It’s been peaceful, but it feels like the calm before the storm. According to the bits of stuff I heard, they are still trying to find Stephano’s hideaway or even get an Intel on what he’s planning.“Mommy, catch me,” Xavier’s little baby voice brought me out of my thoughts.“I’m coming little baby,” I said as I try to walk faster behind him, this little

  • Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don    Chapter 25

    MARINAWatching the kids sleep, all my strength and power is washed away, the fear is back, I’m now questioning me staying back the first time Stephano attacked us.Should I have stayed?Or should I should I have left even if I had a big target on my back?The fear is just settling down on me, I want my peace back, I want the days when it was just me and me alone. But if I should go back to the life I so want, I won’t have these beautiful kids to call mine anymore, I won’t have the man I’m hopelessly in love with.Is it worth me staying? Is it worth me staying?I love Alex, I love the kids so much but...I don’t regret the day I met them, i don’t regret the day Xavier called me ‘’mommy’’ for the first time, the day I found myself falling in love with their father.God! Is this a test or what?I just want my peace back, first it was Stephano, then Sarah, what am i going to do?The kidnapping didn’t even let me think of Sarah, She says she is engaged to Alex, Alex didn’t even clari

  • Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don    Chapter 24

    MARINAThe car hummed beneath us, its engine low and steady as we sped down the highway. Alexander sat in the passenger seat beside Carlos, quiet, his profile carved in shadows as the night bled into early dawn. In the back, Vincent had fallen asleep again, curled up against Xavier, who clutched a worn blanket Carlos had dug out of the emergency bag. Their faces looked soft in sleep, untouched for a moment by everything they’d survived.I stared out the window, the world outside a blur of streetlights and darkness. I should have felt relief. Safety. Peace.But I didn’t.Not entirely.Alexander hadn’t tried to force a conversation after I took his hand. He didn’t ask me to forgive him. He just sat in that silence with me, holding it like something sacred.And yet…Now, with distance from the chaos, the quiet pressed differently. It made room for questions.For fears.For the ache I still hadn’t named.“You okay?” His voice was low, almost tentative.I turned my head, meeting his eyes i

  • Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don    Chapter 23

    ALEXANDER I stayed low behind the crates, watching the building. It was quiet. Still.But I knew better.Stillness could be a lie. I checked my weapon, ears trained on every sound, every creak of wind, every whisper of gravel. And then out of nowhere it hit me.Her laugh.Not real. Not here.A memory.Uninvited, unannounced.Just… there.I saw her in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, hair a mess, Xavier clinging to her legs while she tried to stir something on the stove. Vincent sitting on the counter, his small voice asking about planets, and her answering like it was the most important thing in the world.I hadn’t even meant to walk in.But I did.And I didn’t say a word.I just stood there, watching the way she moved soft but certain, tired but glowing, completely unaware of how seen she was in that moment.That was the first time I realized I wanted more.Not just someone in my house.But someone in my life.Someone who didn’t ask me to be softer, but made me want to be
