Ezabella Viper...Ella and I had nothing else to say to each other on the matter of Attiwood Nicolo. She was silent as she was shocked by the information I gave her a few minutes ago, and I was silent because I was busy following my mother-in-law with my eyes.Attiwood did not look like the woman I initially thought she was, nor did she look like the woman I had figured her out to be.I initially thought that she was a strong woman who hid her pain and trauma well. After she hinted how awful her marriage was to Jacopo's father, after she hinted at how abusive her husband was, I thought she was a strong woman for keeping herself up and continuing to build her life away from her past. And now, I was seeing her as the woman who sat behind a screen and sent a video of my torture to a group chat.I understand that Attiwood sending my torture to the group chat doesn't just cancel out the horrible times that she has lived and the abuse that she had to endure. And while I still do feel sl
Jacopo Nicolo...I stood through the explanation Alex Fimbar gave.It all started when he was hanging out with one of the Vipers. A lot of Vipers were in town during the preparation for Ezabella and my wedding, and some of them were mingling with our people.Alex Fimbar confessed that he was hanging out with a few of them a lot, and they were the reasons why he ended up getting entangled with the two women prospects of the Only Girls Motorcycle club who ended up dead.He said he was out partying with those women, and the Vipers were also with him. He said that he blacked out after a few hours, and when he woke up next, he found the women's bodies near him in the room they had rented out in a club. Alex was all alone in that room, meaning the Vipers he was hanging out with were no longer with him. He confessed that he gave them a call in a fit of a panic, having no memory of what happened the previous night. He claimed that he didn't know what to do, and those Vipers disappeared.
Ezabella Viper...The atmosphere around the dining table was awful tense, the silence loud amongst us women.The earlier stand-off was now split into two, a safe distance between the Web and the club created by a long table.The ladies of the web sat on one side of the table, while the women of the Motorcycle club sat on the other, facing each other in an awkward silence.Ella and Red didn't look like they wanted to back down, and they didn't look like they wanted to start a fight either.Earlier, when Ella told Red that her club was standing in our way, Red looked amused, lazily smiling as if she found the stand-off interesting enough to want to stick around."You ladies heading to the restaurant?" Red had asked."We are." Ella had dismissively replied.I had hoped the women would either turn around and leave or peacefully let us walk around them to get to the restaurant. But Red surpirsed us all instead."Me and my girls were looking for a spot to have our lunch. Maybe we shou
The only noise around the long dining table was the sound of utensils softly clashing against plates as the ladies of the web and the women of the Only Girls Motorcycle Club.After the exchange between Ella and Red, not a single person spoke a word. The Fimabrs were still a bit shaken up by what the women of the club had said, their earlier threats taken to heart. The food didn't take long to arrive after that, and everyone dug in without saying a word.Eyes were getting thrown around the room, everyone carefully watching each other. We were just a few minutes into our lunch when the doors of the restaurant opened and in walked two men.Everyone's eyes were drawn to them as they were behind our table."Oh, I didn't know the husbands were invited." Red commented, looking at Jacopo and Elijah with boredom."They certainly weren't." Ella replied, placing her fork and knife down to slowly push herself to her feet."What are you two doing here?" She asked, staring at the two.My eyes we
Jacopo Nicolo...The last thing I wanted to do was leave Ezabella alone in the apartment after I found out about another video. My heart was still drumming in my chest, the anger fueling my entire body at the discovery I made this morning. It was only made worse when I found out that Attiwood had sent yet another video, and Ezabella had to force herself to go to the gathering.Seeing Attiwood at the gathering made me want to flip the table and question her right there and then. I needed to find out everything, including if there was any connection between Attiwood and my ex-wife Elizabeth Williamson, since they both had a connection with that stupid Alex Fimbar. That was why I had to change my clothes and leave Ezabella in the apartment. I called Dante on the way down to the front entrance and asked him to have my car sent to the address I sent, and he agreed, of course, mumbling about how he was upset because Elijah and I just left in the middle of the interrogation.I ha
Attiwood Nicolo was staring at me with fire in her eyes. It would be an understatement to say that she was furiously staring at me."Sit down, Attiwood." I ordered, pointing the golf club at her face."How do you expect me to just sit down when you distorted my house?" She snapped."Last I checked, this house was under my name, so whatever I choose to do with it is none of your business. Now, before I consider kicking you out of this house and anything that has to do with my family name, I suggest you shut your mouth and sit down." I replied, kicking a broken piece of a vase in her direction.She stepped back, avoiding the piece from hitting her leg by an inch.She slowly walked towards the love, sitting parallel to the grand piano. I was busy destroying and carefully sat down as if she was afraid the seat would break under her weight."I will sat one thing before I start asking you the questions I need answers to." I said, slowly walking towards her.I leaned the head of the golf clu
Ezabella and I stared at each other for a few seconds, the silence deafening in the living room.I thought Ella would look at my hand, my bare scarred hand, and flinch away from me. I thought I would see the look of disturbance on her face at the thought of me touching her face with my hand.I pulled my hand away, wanting to kick myself for even thinking about touching her. But Ezabella stopped me, reaching out and holding on to my pinky finger.It felt like an electric hand traveling from my pinky to my entire body, making my heart thunder in the most unnatural way possible.Ezabella looked at me with her big eyes, my pinky still in her grip."Eza?" I whispered, too afraid to raise my voice and shatter the dream I was standing in.She continued to stare up at me, but this time, she slowly pulled my hand back to her face. With each distance I close towards her, I felt an uncontrollable desire in my chest.I wanted to touch her, and it looked like she was giving me her permission.Ezab
Ezabella Viper...Things were a bit confusing the past few days. I was having a hard time processing a lot of the information that I recived, starting from Attiwood being the one who sent those horrific videos to the group chat for whatever reason, to finding out that Jacopo and I had a past with the same family, from the meet up with the women of the Motorcycle club to Jacopo sharing the truth about Attiwood along with the fact that he shot her in the arm, it was all taking a while to process in my head.For one, I appreciated Jacopo's honesty, and a small part of me, maybe even a bigger part of me, was glad to know that Jacopo was willing to stand up for me, even if the way he did it slightly terrified me. Every part of my sane mind was telling me to keep my distance from the man. I already knew Jacopo was a very dangerous man, as was everyone else in the environment I was forced to live in, but damn it, I couldn't pull away. It felt like Jacopo had me under a spell, just loo
Jacopo Nicolo...I parked my car near the front door of Dante's house and cut off the engine.A soft sigh escaped my lips as I leaned my head back against the head rest and closed my eyes.Damn it.I didn't want to be here.I wanted to be in the arms of the woman I love. Why was I here again away from her?Right. To interogate the shooters who almost took her away from me.I wanted to at least take a few seconds for myself, but I was interrupted by a quick tap on the window, jointing me out of my peaceful state.I glanced over and saw Victor leaning down to face me, the window fogging due to his breath at how close he was."You coming?" He asked, his voice barely making it into the inside of my car.Another sigh escaped my lips before I nodded my head, unlocked the door, and pushed the car open to hop out. I looked at Victor up and down, still wearing the same clothes he had on the previous night."Did you spend the night here?" I asked as I slammed the door of my cat shut.
"Helena, hi..." Ella finally spoke into the phone, and it was obvious from her voice that she did not expect Helena to answer the phone."Hi." Helena chuckled at how awkward Ella sounded."How have you been?" Ella asked."I've been better. But honestly, I'm fine. More than fine, actually. I feel like I'm finally finding my footing again, you know, getting back on my feet. I feel like I can finally breathe again." Helena replied.Her enthusiastic voice and manner rubbed me the wrong way, and it was obvious that the other ladies were feeling the same way as well."The last time I saw you was at the Fimbar Mansion, and you really didn't want to look at us anymore, let alone speak to us. What changed?" Ella slowly asked, trying her best not to upset Helena."Well... I was a bit mean back then, weren't I?" Helena chuckled. "I was just a hit under pressure...""Under pressure from what?' Cilvia spoke up, and we looked at her. The three of us had agreed that if by some miracle the phone is
Ezabella Viper...I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, and it was not because I had the bed sleep ever of because I had the long sleep my body craved. No. It was because of what Jacopo did the previous night, and how he stepped into the shower knowing it was something his body didn't want him to do.This man was constantly putting his body in the line for me, and I don't know what more proof I could possibly need to know just how much he loves me.First it was running into a burning building for me, and then it was choosing to save me first, and then it was stepping in front of a bullet for me the previous night, and then on the same night, it was stepping under the warm water knowing he would have a bad reaction to it because of his horrible experience.It felt like I truly don't deserve the amount of love he has for me, like I haven't given him enough as much as he has given me.Waking up next to him after we had a scary night and then an amazing moment in the shower f
Jacopo Nicolo..."What are you doing, Jacopo?" Eza asked as she watched me push my shoes off my feet and then lean down to take my socks off."I just told you..." I softly replied. "I don't want to stay away. I can't stay away."Once the socks were off, I pushed myself to my feet.I shrugged the suit jacket off my back before dropping it to the floor."Jacopo?" Eza whispered, realizing what I wanted to do.I carried on to unbutton my shirt no matter how hard the shaking of my hands tried to sabotage me. To succeed in taking my shirt off before I carried on to my suit pants.Once I was done peeling my clothes off, I looked towards Eza and the steam that was coming out of the shower from the hot shower.The second I started stepping closer to the shower, Eza reached for the shower nob to turn it towards the colder side."Don't, Eza." I called out, stopping her from turning the water off and then on to cold.I stood just outside of the shower, just out of the reach of the hot water.
Ezabella Viper..."So, you decide to create a club of your own?" Cilvia asked, her back hunches and her elbows pressed against her knees as she attentively listened to the three women speak one at a time about their stories.I didn't even realize when it happened, but we were all suddenly talking to each other about our lives, sharing moments that we usually would not share with strangers."Yes." Red replied. "It was the only logical next step. We were able to find a fee working bikes from the last house we escaped from, and on the road, we were able to learn more and grow as a team. We got to take revenge and acquire more wealth from those men, which led us to get ourselves a small club house in a small town. People started hearing about us, and women and little girls started coming to us for help. Some needed help getting rid of people who were troubling them while others needed a place to stay. And so it all started. A small club grew bigger and bigger until we had to move to
Jacopo Nicolo...I sat in the passanger sit of Victor's car, while Elijah and Dante followed us in Elijah's car. My heart refused to settle down, my head still filled with the image of that red dot on my wife's forehead.There goes my heart again, almost beating out of my chest with fear, fear that I could have lost her.My hands refused to stop shaking, itching for a trigger to squeeze, my nose desperate for the scent of the blood of whoever tried to kill my wife right in front of me despite my own blood already attacking my nostrils.I had to tuck my hands into my pockets to stop them from visibly shaking."Heard you stepped in front of a bullet." Victor commented. "Pretty brave of you." "Not now, Victor." I mumbled.I couldn't deal with the voice in my head, let alone get nagged by my father-in-law."I am trying to thank you for saving Bella's life." He said, forcing my eyes towards him."It's the bare minimum. I am her husband. That's what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to
Jacopo was sitting in the sitting room the ladies of the web and I were chatting in earlier while the members of the web were having their meeting. I had calmed him enough to forget about his gun, and someone had suggested that we moved to the sitting room until a thorough search has been made around the area to make sure that there were no more shooters so it would be safe enough for the rest of us to leave.The only people left in the villa besides Jacopo and I were Ella and Elijah, Connor and Cane, the three women of the Motorcycle club, and Cilvia and Dante, along with my father, who was apartment in one of the bathrooms while everything was happening and only came the join the chaos while Jacopo and I were in each other's arms.I was sitting right next to Jacopo, his right arms around me while his left was balled into a fist as if he was trying to stop himself from reaching for him gun again."Dante?" My father called out. "Did thay have anything to do with this,""We are standi
Ezabella Viper...Most of the conversations after Piper Fimbar left were smooth. I tried to stay engaged in the conversation, but my mind kept going back to the conversation Ella and Cilvia had with Piper. I kept dissecting every single word she had said, every reaction she made to the mention of the Fimbar blood line, and I tried to piece everything together.But why Helena?Why was she trying to keep Helena away? Piper never liked Helena to begin with, and it was not like she hid it to anyone. So shouldn't she be the first to send Helena out of the house the second her son died?I was pulled out of my train of thoughts when the door was pushed in, and the men started pouring in."So, brunch tomorrow?" One of the ladies said before the men came closer.I wasn't aware that we were discussing brunch to begin with."Of course. I will look for a nice place and let you ladies know." Ella replied.I looked towards the door, waiting for Jacopo to come. But he didn't. It took him a whil
Dante ended in meeting by adding a little more detail in the Elizabeth case."We will be initiating our attack two weeks from now once everything on our side is settled. If we need extra man power, then please expect some of your own people to be chosen to join the attack. That will be all for today." A stillness went around the room at the people of the web glanced at each other. They didn't like how he just said some of their own people might be ordered to join the attack, but I didn't like how he had extended the time of our attack by a week and a half. Unless ge is only saying this because he truly believes that there is someone in here who had truly betrayed the web and would relay this massage to Elizabeth so they would get distracted by the length of time the preparation for the attack would take.Seeing as Elijah didn't seem surprised by that announcement, I just assumed he too knows about this, and so does Victor.The men started leaving the office once Dante announced that
