María's pov-
I slowly drifted into consciousness, I felt like I had been hit by a bus.
My body was feeling numb and weak. Every muscle in my body ached to the point I wasn't sure if I'd be able to move.
Slowly I opened my eyes, squinting at the bright light above me.
I was laying on a soft bed in an unknown room.
Where am I? Last I remembered I was..and then it clicked, the memory of the last thing I remember dawning on me.
OMG Lucien!
I shot up into a sitting position, Cradling my head in my hands at the instant pain of a pounding headache consumed me.
"I'm glad you're awake." A male voice came from beside me.
Glancing to my left, Nicolas was sitting on a chair beside the bed smiling warmly at me.
"Whe-where
But it wasn't Nicolas on the other side, it was a young man I have never seen before.He was well built with brown eyes and brown hair, A sharp jawline, With tattoos covering his hands and neck right up to his hairline.He looked to be in his late twenties. Maybe twenty seven. Just like Lucien and diego.I was speechless staring back at this man in shock, he had all the same features as Lucien even down to his tattooed covered skin.If I had seen this man from a distance I probably would've thought that he was indeed Lucien. ??♠️♥️♣️♦️♠️♥️♣️♦️??Carlo's Pov.I was stressed to the high heavens, the deal went bad between the Russians and us. I lost thirteen of my men last night, a number I don't take too lightly.I needed
I bent down to the woman on the floor brushing a strand of her hair from her face before resting my hand against her soft cheek.She looked so fragile, so crushed. She seems so Different from the woman I usually see in this business.It was a surprise to me how a woman like her could be related to the Valdès's.She looked to be too innocent to have been born into this life.She didn't look like she belong here, in this world of the mafia but The fact of it was that she was indeed la princesa de la mafia ??♠️♥️♣️♦️♠️♥️♣️♦️??María's POV-His soft hand against the skin of my cheek, I sighed leaning into his touch."Lucien" I breathed at the warm feeling that spread through me.&nb
I need to get out of this place but How do I get out of this place is the question? Carlos screams power and dangerous, would it be stupid of me to attempt an escape?"Lucien what do I do?" I whispered, A few stray tears falling from my eyes.I harshly wiped them away taking another deep breath willing myself to not break down again. I need to stay strong. I need to be Strong.I left the room to be greeted at the door by a pale skinned guy with black hair and green eyes.I presume this is damon."Ready miss?" He asked with a gentle smile.I nodded my head in response following beside him as he led the way."You're not much of a talker are you?" He broke the silence.I looked up at him confused at his remark. What am I supposed to talk about? I don't know hi
Lucien's pov-I snarled at the weak man in front of me. blood dripped from his bust up lip, His eyes swollen as dark purple bruises instantly spread across his face.
I took a quick shower before deciding on having an early night, I was exhausted I barely slept a few hours a night since I've been hereWrapping a towel around my body tightly I opened the bathroom door.I abruptly stopped coming face to face with Carlos standing on the other side of the door.My heart was pounding in my chest. I didn't hear him come in."Jeez Carlos you scared me" I let out, holding my hand to my chest as if to calm my rapidly beating heart.It was evident to me that he was angry. The clenching of his Jaw and fists by his side was the evidence of that.My eyebrows furrowed together. Why was he looking at me like that?"Carlos?" I questioned.The room was silent and I was growing nervous by the second."Your brothers are beco
Carlos's pov-I stood there my body so close to María's as I looked into her beautiful green eyes. She was mesmerizing, A beauty.In the past few weeks that she has been staying with us I have learnt that she doesn't just have beauty on the outside but also on the inside.I can now see the attraction my idiotic cousin has towards her. It's not just him I can see she intrigues my men also.For men like us she's an angel and for a man like me she somehow keeps the monster inside of me at bay.Before I had met her I never thought that it was possible.She affects me in a way no woman has ever been able to do, for the life of me I couldn't explain it.I can see I affect her too, the way her body reacts to my touch.The way her breathing has turned heavy as her lips slightly part.
Nicolas climbed on top of me cradling my body to the floor, restraining my arms tightly in his left hand.I struggled against his hold.Pressing his lips to mine yet again as his free hand roamed over my body.I sobbed and cried, struggling beneath his weight. Fighting and trying so hard to push this man from me."Please Nicolas stop" I pleaded shakily as he trailed his lips across my neck.His touch was rough and his biting and sucking on my neck hurt.My right hand broke free and I clawed at his face with all my might."YOU BITCH! " He spat with a clenched jaw.The next thing I felt was pain spread across my eye.I cried out in pain as he banged his fist down on my face again and again, before bringing them down on my ribs with
Carlos's pov-I can't believe I let this happen to her, She didn't deserve this.By the time I got María to Dr.Jonah she was sleeping in my arms, passed out from the beating she had received.I gently placed her on the bed and kept a close eye on her whilst the doctorchecked over her injuries.He cleaned up the cuts and blood from her face before he began lifting her top up. "Don't even think about it" I spat through my teeth.What does he think he is doing? Does this man have a death wish?"Eh," He stuttered, turning his head to face me. He was nervous and so he should be.The doctor cleared his throat "Sir I need to check for any more injuries. From The skin showing I can see she has bruising to her stomach" He paused. "May I check?" He asked.I clenched my ja
