MATTIA

"So this is how I signed the deal!" I put down the paper containing my marriage contract with Harper Lacour.

Alessio was flabbergasted and stopped putting sugar into his coffee cup. "You what?"

"Like I said."

"Harper? That girl whose father you killed?"

"I don't think she knows that part! Technically the damn man died because he was old."

Alessio shook his head, not really agreeing with my decision. Alessio visited today to give news about the family business. There was a traitor who fled to this country, and my father gave orders to look for the traitor.

"You got married without telling your family. Do you think they will be happy with this?"

"You know, I have to protect Lucia!"

"Why? Is she still being targeted by them? So you think your marriage is the best to protect Lucia?"

 Lucia, my ex-girlfriend. Our relationship was going well, but an incident made Lucia leave me. I don't know what love is; all I know is that Lucia always accompanies me whenever I'm in trouble, so up to this moment, I'm still thinking about it.

Lucia and I have been separated for a year. During that time, she was targeted by one of my competitors because they thought Lucia was my weakness, even though they didn't know that my relationship with Lucia had ended.

"I have to use Harper to replace Lucia. She must be their target; that way, Lucia's life will be safe!"

"I thought you fell in love at first sight with Harper; thank goodness you haven't changed!"

"Man, Harper is not my type; you know who I really want! Harper is just bait! But damn, she's pregnant now."

"What the hell?"

"She just got divorced and is pregnant!"

"Damn, this is going to be complicated! Sooner or later, the family will find out about your marriage, so make sure he doesn't bring problems into the family! If necessary, make her abort the baby."

Alessio sipped his coffee, turned on the TV, and looked for the latest news broadcast. I let go of my huft, then stepped towards my room. My eyes turned to the brown envelope, and I saw several wedding photos of Harper and me lying on top of the envelope.

Harper agreed to enter into a marriage contract with me just to protect her parents' property, but she didn't know that her life was also in danger because she was with me. She's so naive, fighting for her family?

"Hello, how about her?" I called my subordinate.

"She hasn't said anything, sir!"

"It's been a week; tell Harper to decide quickly!"

"Yes, Sir, but…"

"But what?"

"It looks like she will refuse your request; there is a bit of unrest in her family!"

I raised my eyebrows; I heard that Harper had lost her parents. She is also an only child, so who else is her family?

"Then I'll be there!"

"Okay, sir!"

I reached for my car keys, and for some reason, I felt curious about the life of this arrogant woman. At our wedding, only two people were accompanying her; they didn't even talk to me.

"Where are you going? Dad just called me and..."

"When you go home? Tell Emma to arrange your flight tickets whenever you want. About that traitor, let me handle it."

Alessio snorted, "Then where do you want to go now? Shouldn't we have some fun tonight since I'm visiting?"

"I have things to take care of; that arrogant woman is testing my patience."

"Who? Harper?"

"Yup, Emma will take care of the VIP room at the Greeny Club for you, and she will choose a woman according to your taste! I'm leaving."

My car was moving at high speed towards a place I hadn't visited for a long time. The last time I visited the grape estate it was when I threatened Harper's father. Now, I'm dealing with her daughter, and her daughter has the same attitude; it's troublesome.

It didn't take long for me to get there. My arrival was greeted with sharp stares from several people. As before, I used to think they were laborers that Lacour hired for this estate.

"You?" Harper greeted me with an unhappy tone. "Why did you come here? I told you I'd see you again!"

"When? I'm not good at waiting!" I answered calmly.

Several people appeared slowly. They gathered behind Harper and me, staring at me as if I were prey.

"What are they staring at? Like I walked into a wolf den or something!" I quipped. Even my men wouldn't have the gaze of wild animals like them.

Harper glanced in various directions, and with just a nod of her head, they all dispersed. At the entrance, the two people who came to my wedding also left.

"Wow, they are very obedient to their boss, even though you are just a woman!"

"Why so if I'm a woman?"

"Women are not suited to be leaders! Women are too weak, crybabies; even in battle, they involve feelings and pity the enemy!"

"Whatever you say! Go back to your house; I'll catch up with you later."

Harper turned around, but I grabbed her arm. "I've come a long way. Is this how you greet your husband?"

"Oh, come on, Mr Mattia, it's not like we had an intimate wedding, and you came here to lure your beloved wife back home. This is just an agreement between us, and this doesn't count towards my time working with you!"

"Well, that sounds interesting, but you know what sounds even more interesting?"

"What?"

"My family knows that we are married?"

"So?" she answered, still with an arrogant expression on her face, "I don't have a problem with that because you also know that this marriage is not what they imagined!"

"You sure are skilled at speaking, but I don't want to complicate my position! My father is compassionate, and my mother is too troublesome, so…"

"So what?"

"I want you to abort your pregnancy! You can't be pregnant!"

Harper raised her hand; she didn't think at all about landing a harsh slap on my cheek. "How dare you!" she snapped.

  • Luna for Devious DON   Decision To Move

    MATTIAI tried to give Lucia clear boundaries about how she should behave. When I said that our relationship was over a long time ago, Lucia was silent for a moment. She met my gaze more heavily than usual.“You don’t know what you’ve said Mattia, if you want to hear my explanation then….”“Wait a minute!” I raised my hand, asking Lucia to stop talking for a moment. There was an incoming call, and when Mabel’s name was written on the screen. I felt the need to answer her phone call.“I am sorry sir, I wanted to let you know that Harper went out. She took her car, to a bar! Probably her regular bar downtown,” Mabel said.I rolled my eyes lazily, how could this woman act naughty when I wasn't around. She should have asked my permission first, let alone hearing her go to the bar. I just felt uneasy."We're going home now," I said. Suddenly I felt, information from Mabel was much more important to me first, than listening to Lucia's complaints for now. I couldn't stand hearing Harper go t

    HARPERManage my feelings!Yes, that's what I should have done. I didn't expect Mattia to do something like this with me. He's never invited me to his bed before. Even though we went through everything with the contract, last night was different.I can't involve my feelings with him any more than this, because after our contract is over, I will leave this Mannor, and we will divorce. I have even found a new life to repair my vineyard, so it is easy for me to pay off my debt to Mattia.“Have you taken your morning pill?” Mabel asked, as soon as she entered my room. Today, I had the courage to have dinner with the others, even though Mattia and Lucia were not there. Mabel really controls everything for me in mannor. She knows everything about me, and there is nothing I can hide from her. Even when Mattia and I have a relationship that requires us to touchI think, because Aldo was there, so I felt calm enough for that. But, I couldn't avoid Nicolas' gaze on me. It seemed like he hated m

  • Luna for Devious DON   Male Friend

    MATTIAFor the first time, I felt a flutter when a woman said something about love to me. It seemed like I was really out of my mind. Letting Harper do all this to me. As if I would never finish getting whatever she needed from me.It was like, I had to endure a lot of things, only to find Harper as such a calm innocent girl, and I also got comfort from her. I felt something stirring inside Harper. Maybe she was feeling excited, so she didn't think about what came out of her mouth.“How did you do it?” I said.“Doing what?” she replied. I just realized, her face blushed redder than before. Her cheeks also looked more adorable, right?However, this reality really hit me in a matter of seconds. I thought, I would be lulled by it, making Harper the light in the darkness of my life. Maybe Harper is not dirty in me.But, there will be no happily ever after fairy tale for us “Alright, go to sleep. You’ve worked hard today” I said, caressing her cheek. I didn’t reply anything to the words of

  • Luna for Devious DON   Falling Love

    HARPERMattia's command was like magic to me. In a matter of seconds, he could control me as he pleased. I thought, after the incident at the pool, he wouldn't have any intention of touching me for a while. That's why I kept my distance.Ever since Nicolas embarrassed me in front of Lucia, I don't have the guts to sit at the same table with them. Not because I'm scared, but I'm more afraid of not being able to control my wolf.If my emotions are controlled by my wolf, then I can no longer think rationally. That way, I'm afraid of hurting Lucia. I don't know how long I can hold myself back. It's like I have to control everything in a short time. My wolf is wilder than me, and humans like the inhabitants of this manor, won't be able to control my anger.So, I chose to keep everything to myself, it was better that Mattia didn't know anything that Lucia and Nicolas had done to me. I didn't seem interested in causing a scene between them. Although Mattia probably wouldn't defend me. I mean

  • Luna for Devious DON   Do Something

    MATTIA“What? It’s been two days since he had dinner in his room, and today he doesn’t want to join the others?” I asked.Mabel nodded her head “Yes sir, she said she will have dinner in her room again today”“What does she do all day, Mabel?”“Just the usual routine. Not much new for her to do. She’s been into gardening lately, like planting some roses.”I thought, this might have something to do with the nightmare that Harper had. I also haven't talked to Harper for a few days, because I'm busy with my work. Moreover, I want to attack Andreas and his family.“Are you sure she didn't say anything to you, Mabel?”“Nothing Mr. Mattia,” she replied.It was me who was not satisfied with Mabel's answer. But, after I thought about it again. I don't think there should be any guilt between us. I mean, Harper shouldn't have taken everything Lucia said to her at the pool seriously.If only Harper knew that we were bound by a contract with each other. Then, there would be nothing serious to kee

  • Luna for Devious DON   Kneeling

    MATTIAI don't like how Aldo acts as if he understands Harper's feelings. When he asks me whether I have fallen in love with Harper, I choose not to answer.It's like, I've already decided not to go too far with this girl. However, when Mabel reported that Harper had returned to the manor, she immediately headed to the private library. It made me hate her even more, hearing that she was lonely.I don't want Harper to feel that way while I'm around her. Well, it's time to have some fun with her. I was feeling warm inside her again.It was a passionate kiss at first, until Lucia's voice came and surprised me. Her voice was high, and her eyes seemed to look down on Harper, giving off an intimidating pressure.Harper stepped to the edge of the pool. She immediately climbed up to grab her kimono towel from the hanger, but Lucia's steps were too fast to approach her. She slapped Harper right on Harper's right cheek."How dare you seduce my man!" said Lucia.I got out of the pool. "Lucia, wh
