LOGINChapter 16 Marry me, Mia Bambina JASMINE VALEI picked up the papers and flipped through them.A marriage contract?I looked up, a frown on my face. Surely, he gave me the wrong paper."I think you gave me the wrong paper.""Read through and tell me what you think." He said, his eyes on his phone as he typed away.Party A holds the reins in this relationship and as such Party B must and will do everything Party A says. Party B can not take any lovers during this relationship or she pays a penalty fee. Party B is to be married to Party A for three years. After three years, Party A will decide whether or not, he intends to continue the relationship and Party B will have no say if Party A wants to continue their marriage. Party A demands respect inside or outside their home and Party B must and will deliver respect beyond their– I slammed the papers shut."What the biscuit is this?" I waved the papers in the air and Dormani shrugge
Chapter 15 Terms and Conditions do applyJASMINE VALEI've never been afraid of my life until now. Many weeks ago, when Dormani had taken me from my home, I was scared, yes but not like this.He had taken me but he assured me he wouldn't hurt me.Call me a fool for listening to the word of a killer, but I took his word but now I'm not so sure he'll keep it.I had been escorted back to my room and a guard was made to stand guard.It wasn't my fault so why was I being punished for something I didn't do? My only fault was dancing with a man I didn't know. A snake for a man who I thought was a man with manners because he had asked for a dance.I did say I was never good with men. That's why I've always avoided them.A knock on the door startled me from my thoughts, and I mumbled, "Come in." Rosa opened the door, pushing a small cart of food inside. The familiar sweet taste of chicken honey soup and hot rice filled the air and I sighed."I make r
CHAPTER 14 Loyalty~JASMINE VALEI woke up choking on darkness.For a moment, I thought I had gone blind. The room was unfamiliar in the way familiar places become when you wake at the wrong time.My throat felt dry and my head felt heavy.I sat up slowly.My room.The realization came with a strange calm. The bed. The curtains. The faint scent of jasmine I never asked for but somehow always noticed. I dragged a hand down my face and swung my legs over the side of the bed.Something was wrong. Something feels wrong.I crossed the room and pulled the curtain aside.It was already midnight.I had slept through the entire day.The last thing I remembered was.......The last thing I remembered came back in a rush so sharp it stole my breath.Alistair.His smile. His hand moving...too fast.The cold glint of metal as he pulled a gun and pointed it straight at Dormani.My heart slammed against my ribs as I turned away from
CHAPTER 13 In Plain Sight~JASMINE VALEThe drive was short.Too short.The mansion gates barely had time to disappear behind us before the car slowed again. Lights spilled through the windshield, and the low thrum of music seeped in through the windows. Laughter followed. Dormani didn’t speak. When the car stopped, he stepped out first and offered his hand again. This time, I didn’t hesitate. Cameras flashed almost immediately.We walked quickly into the hall and I swear I've never been into a place so beautiful before.The hall breathed elegance. Gold accents. Tall ceilings, dark and red velvet walls, and low music, people wrapped in expensive clothes.And somehow, so did I.Dormani’s hand settled at the small of my back, light enough to be polite, firm enough to be instructive. We moved through the room together, and I realized quickly that this wasn’t about being seen.It was about being noticed.These weren't norma
CHAPTER 12 Haste~JASMINE VALEIt's been a week. A week of restless nights.I'm not sure if it's true, but I think Hailey has been forbidden from talking to me. Maybe even everyone in the house.Only Juliet. With her red lips pressed together, and her wrinkled eyes judging the way I ate my pasta.I ignored her, cutting the pasta with my knife and raising the chopped pasta with my fork.If looks could kill, I'd probably be dead. Six feet under."Good Heavens." She exhaled, walked back into the kitchen, and brought another dish."I'm not eating anything other than this," I said."I do not know what happened between you two, but no, no, you're starving yourself because of a man." Her English was rough but I could put two and two together."I'm not starving because of him.""Ha! Could have fooled me." She sneered, dropping a plate of rice and another of chicken stew."I'm not hungry," I said with a sigh.She gave me that judgey
CHAPTER 11 Beautiful yet Destructive~JASMINE VALEDormani didn't stop, he pushed me down the table, spread my private lips, and feasted as though he was a starved man in the Sahara.I screamed, my hands finding his gelled hair as he did something no man had ever done to my body."Oh god....God, no...""It's Dormani mia bambina. Dormani not God." He huskily said, pressing kisses on my privates.It was all too much. I could feel everything at once, the entire feeling pulsing through my veins.His finger pumped into me at the same velocity, and I screamed out not expecting the feral intrusion.He didn't stop, didn't give me time to adjust as he continued to thrust into me, not just one but two fingers, and then a third."Please....please," I begged, unsure what I was pleading for.He groaned deeply, stood up, and backed off the table.It was all too fast.I looked up, my vision blurry as I watched him with hooded eyes of pleasure.I was al
CHAPTER 8 Parties and Rules JASMINE VALEIf I didn't know any better, I'd say he was taking me to a date, cause I felt like a queen as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.I looked so....good and different. With a black long body fitted gown
CHAPTER SEVEN Buzz~ JASMINE VALE I couldn't look at Dormani in the eyes, after what I had done in my room. Thinking about what I did made me squirm, and I crossed my legs under the table and wished to disappear. He had insisted— no, demanded I had breakfast with him this morning. And of cour
CHAPTER SIX Possession~DORMANI NOSTRAThe smoke from the cigars curled thickly in the air, mingling with the faint stench of bourbon and expensive leather. The mahogany table was long enough to contain more than twenty people.I had six le
CHAPTER 10 HeadlinesJASMINE VALEThe sunlight streaming into the room was the first thing I noticed. The second was the sharp ache in my legs from last night. Dancing with a devil wasn’t exactly easy. The third was that I wasn't in my room.
