View MoreVince's POVWhen Christiana’s name flashes across the screen of my phone, it makes the frown on my face deepen.Christiana doesn't call me. She never did.Whatever she wants to tell me needs to wait till I am back home. Even when I am not in America, she needs to wait until I am back.I assume this is related to Ann, who is home.Wondering if she left the house again like the last time, I quickly pick up. “Christy?”“Signor,” she only mutters.“Is everything okay?”“I saw your guest snooping around the master bedroom.” She announces, causing me to exhale with a sense of relief.“She is my wife, Christy. Have her things moved to the master's bedroom before I come home,” I tell her.Instead of replying, she lapse into silence. Then the line goes off.Christiana is not just an employee to me. I have known her all my life, and I know how much she tries to look out for me.She decided to tell me about Ann's snooping so I would be careful, but I know there is nothing to be scared about.An
Ann’s POVMy stomach churned with the thought of Vince being a bad man. This is what everyone seems to be portraying him as.Not everyone, though.Just that woman.Maybe she is doing this to get me worked up over nothing and start having doubts about this thing between Vince and me so she could have her way with him.I have no reason to doubt him.So far, he has been only good to me. Too busy to do anything suspicious.Despite the assurance, I can't ignore the inner turmoil and curiosity. It directs my mind back to the first time we met. He unexpectedly showed up to save me, accompanied by numerous men.The tattoos all over his body speak volumes of words. The men were all dressed in black, like some sort of cult member loyal to their boss.I didn't see any weapons, but I was sure they came with one. I was in a vulnerable state to notice every single thing about them.Suddenly, I jolt upright as a knock comes to the door, interrupting my thoughts and reminding me of how I have been u
Ann’s POVGetting married suddenly to a total stranger is a huge turn-off for me. Despite this, I find myself getting ready for dinner.I really don't know what to think about it, but I want to give it a try. Try to see if I can get Ryan’s attention with this.Tessa should be in New York tomorrow, and we can get to talk more about this. Surprisingly, I got over this near-rape incident faster than I thought. Faster than I first did.Viewing the beauty and grandeur of the mansion Vince calls home is enough to keep me preoccupied throughout the day. Aside from talking on the phone with Tessa, going around to see the state-of-the-art facilities in every section of the house kept me busy.I still have a lot of places to explore. I know there are two swimming pools in the courtyard, as well as a gym downstairs.As soon as I step out of the room wearing one of the clothes I had packed in my bags when I came to New York, I almost bump into someone.The maid.She is the same woman who brought
Vince’s POVAndre opens the door to the basement, and I stroll in, anger surging through me at the thought of this fucker raping her.Though accidental, Ann is mine now.In silence, we walk to the first door, and he pulls it open to reveal the chained jerk who has fear written all over his expression.I take long strides towards him as he looks up to stare at me. “Why am I here? Who are you?”Slyvester and Damon are standing behind him. I told them to get him and bring him here. Having him dealt with behind my back was one straightforward thing, but I wanted to do that myself.“Do you know Annnete Vasquez?” I ask in a gentle tone, anticipating his denial.Instead, the corner of his lips curves up in a smile, and he begins to laugh. “Ann paid you to do this?”He continues to laugh while I try so hard to control my anger.Ann doesn't know I am doing this. She doesn't even know yet what I do for a living, and I intend to keep that hidden for as long as I can.But having him still out the
