Jacopo Nicolo...

The first thing I noticed the seconds the doors opened was how quite the dining room was. Any room Dante and Elijah are in would usually be quiet until everyone invited to the gathering or the meeting show up and find their places, but this was a different kind of quiet. It's as if every single person knew there was a deeper issue in the web that we needed to fight, and none of them would risk drawing any kind of attention towards themselves in fear that they might risk angering Dante.

I realized too late that it was a bad idea to bring Eza here with me. I should have convinced her to stay home where she would be safe. Heck, I should have listened to my guts earlier and decided not to show up to the gathering myself. I didn't like how stiff everything felt, starting from the heavy security Dante had placed in and out of the villa to the heavy silence in the dining room.

"Come on." I whispered to Eza before I led her towards the usual spot I would be sitting at.

    Ella, Cilvia, Dalinda, Helena, and I poured into the dining room, and before Dalinda could close the door, one of the men in black stepped forward and blocked it with his foot."We are instructed to be in the same room as Mrs. Smith at all times." He commented.Dalinda, even though she looked like she wanted to argue, gave Ella the chance to make the decision."I was hoping we could speak without too much crowd..." Helena commented, and I could hear the anxiety in her voice."Well..." Ella started, but another voice cut her off."What is going on here?" Connor asked as he appeared from behind the other man."We just want a little space to talk." Ella replied.Connor looked at Ella first before he glanced around her to look at the rest of us."We won't take long." She added, giving Connor a pleading look.Connor let out a sigh before he nodded his head."Give them a second, will you?" He said to the man in black."But Sir, we were informed that..." The man started to argue, but Connor

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   Unease.

    Ezabella Viper...Looks were being shared the rest of the day, and I could tell and understand that Helena and Piper Fimbar were the topic of everyone's hushed conversations. I could also tell that the two Fimbar women were aware of it but chose to keep their silence. After we finished with the paintings and Ella promised to send each panting to the owners home, we moved back to the sitting room to have tea before dinner, which Ella insisted the ladies eat before they leave.While everyone had their own side conversations, I would say that the mood was light and less tense than it was at lunch or in Ella's studio while we painted. Helena and Piper were sitting as far away from each other as possible, which provided more comfort for the rest of the group."So mystery is truly solved, I guess." Cilvia whisperer, drawing Ella's and my attention towards her."I guess so." Ella replied, sipping her tea and taking a glance around the sitting room over her cup. "I still feel weird about

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   Instructions.

    Elijah and I had to share a ride once more since I didn't bring mine. Harvey didn't have trouble finding out where Anthony Jhon was. As I had expected and hopped, he was in his mansion, a sitting duck, waiting for his end to come without even knowing it.I could tell that Dante wanted to get to the Fimbar mansion as fast as he could with the recless way he was driving. But we managed to get there without causing a traffic accident or driving off the road even thought it looked like that was the road he was heading.The second we parked in front of the house, Dante hopped out of his car without cutting the engine off and walked towards the front door, leaving the door of his car wide open. We followed after him, watching as he questioned a single man at the door to point him in the direction of where A.J. was. That led us to Anthony's home office.Dante was leading the group to the office, ignoring the sigh of the men and women in black standing around. The second he pushed the door i

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   Three things.

    Jacopo Nicolo..."I'll look into it, love." I commented, the frown deepening on my face when I heard my wife let out a heavy sigh."How are you going to do that?" She asked.It was obvious that she was worried about Helena Fimbar, and she was right to. Clearly, there was something going on in the Fimbar house, and the information was waiting for me right on top of Dante's desk."I'm at Dante's place, and he has me looking into the recent activities of the members of the web who were invited to the villa that night. I'm sure he had Anthony Jhon in there somewhere." I replied."Seriously?" She sounded surprised that we could get our hands on anything that quick."Yeah, apparently, miles worked over time in getting the info, but Dante wants us personally to lool into them in case we miss something. He gave Miles time off after that." I replied with a sigh of my own."Okay. As long as you're safe in an office, I'm more than happy." She commented. "I have to go. but I will call if I find a

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   Keep her safe.

    Ezabella Viper...After Ella, Cilvia, and I prepared for lunch, we waited for the ladies to arrive in the living room while keeping her kids company. Once the ladies of the web started showing up, Ella told Dalinda to take her kids to their room.We waited for all of the ladies to arrive before we moved to the dining room for lunch. The last ladies to arrive at the mansion were Piper and Helena Fimbar, and that was when the gathering turned into an observation game where everyone had their eyes on the two Fimbar ladies and their interaction with each other.I noticed a few things the second the ladies arrived in the sitting room. The first thing was that Helena was leading Piper into the room. That has never happened with a mother and a daughter-in-law unless those two ladies are Ella and Cilvia. The mother-in-las never let the wife's of their sons walk in front of them, which was why everyone started looking at the duo with curiosity. It also happened with their sitting arra

  • Forced To Marry A Broken Monster.   Invasion of privacy.

    Jacopo Nicolo..."We should be working on attacking right now, not..." I sighed, looking at the pile of folders on Dante's desk.Elijah and I had arrived at Dante's house expecting to make plans on the attack. I needed to kill that witch, and I needed it to be as soon as possible. But Dante clearly had mother plans."We will work on that, just not now." Dante replied."He's jealous that I have a clean city, and he doesn't." Victor commented, smirking from his sitting spot by the shelf."Shut it." Dante shot back before returning his attention back to the two of us. "Unless we know who the heck switched on the location of the Villa, we can not safely attack and come out of it alive. They could be reporting all of our moves to that witch for all we know." I had a great urge to roll my eyes at him, but I bit my tongue."Don't you have other people who can do this?" Elijah asked, staring at the pile of folders"And risk the members of the web knowing that I am looking into their rec
