ARYA’S POV

The next morning, that hope was tested.

I woke up late, my cheap alarm clock had died sometime in the night, and scrambled to get ready.

Then I realized too late that my only professional-looking shirt had a stain I hadn't noticed in the dim hostel lighting.

By the time I made it to the office building, I was fifteen minutes late and had coffee spilled down my front from the too-full cup I grabbed on the way.

Just perfect.

I rushed into the office, out of breath, looking like I was

  • Marked By Him   Forced Alliance

    GIOVANNI’S POVI stared at the barrel of the gun pointed to my head and I froze, half-sitting, half-standing."Don't," he said, his voice deadly calm. "Don't you dare sit in my house like you're a welcomed guest."Enzo moved and the other guard too but I raised a hand, signaling them to stop."Where the hell is my daughter?" Robert's hand was steady, his finger on the trigger. “I heard from some very reliable source that you’re turning the entire city upside down to find her.”"Sir." Enzo started."I'm not talking to you." Robert's eyes never left mine. "I'm talking to the man who was supposed to protect her. So I'll ask one more time… where is Arya?"This was a mistake. Coming here was a terrible, terrible mistake.But I had already committed and with a gun pointed at my head, I didn't have many options."I don't know," I said honestly, slowly raising my hands to show I wasn't a threat. "That's why I'm here. I'm trying to find her.""Trying to find her?" Robert's laugh was bitter, da

  • Marked By Him   Hectic   

    ARYA’S POVWithin minutes, I had three beautiful white blouses laid out but as the associate rang them up, she frowned."I'm so sorry, but we're actually out of stock in the white button-downs in your size.” She actually looked apologetic. “These are display models, and they've already been purchased by another customer who's picking them up tomorrow."My eyes widened. "What? But I need them.” "However," she said quickly, seeing my distress, "we do have something that might work even better. A professional sheath dress that’s perfect for an office environment. Would you like to see it?"I glanced at my phone. Thirty-five minutes left. "Yes. Please and hurry."She hurried to a different section and returned with a white dress that had a modest neckline and hem that would fall just below the knee."Our dressing rooms are right over here. Try it on… I think it'll be perfect."In the dressing room, I pulled off my coffee-stained shirt with shaking hands and slipped the dress over my head

"You're late." He snapped. I cleared my throat and smoothed my skirt with my free hand. "I'm so sorry. My alarm didn't go off and then-""Fifteen minutes late on your first day." He cut me off. "Do you understand how that looks?"I hastily nodded. "It won't happen again. I promise.""That's what everyone says." He gestured to the coffee stain spreading across my shirt. "And you're d

  • Marked By Him   Ghost of the past

    ARYA’S POVI chuckled. "Their mama is a mess.""Their mama is surviving." Cherry's expression turned serious. "Which is more than a lot of people can say. You left a bad situation, you're keeping yourself and the baby safe, you're looking for work too!""That's going nowhere." I set down the cereal bowl, my appetite gone. "I've been to every place in the city that's hiring. No one wants someone with no experience, and mysterious gaps in their employment history.""Then come work with me." Cherry had suggested this at least five times already. "The club is always looking for cleaners or you could bartend, you don't have to dance. The money's good, and most of the guys are harmless.""No." I said immediately, shaking my head. "I appreciate the offer, but I can't. I don't want my baby growing up around that kind of environment.She huffed. "It's not that bad.""Cherry." I took her hand. "I'm not judging you. You do what you need to do, and I respect that. But it's not for me. I just... I

  • Marked By Him   A friend indeed

    ARYA’S POVBy the time I made it back to the hostel, it was nearly dark. I trudged up the stairs, every step heavy with defeat.When I opened my door, I froze. Marco was sitting in my chair, looking completely out of place in the dingy room.I frowned. “Marco? He looked up immediately, meeting my gaze. "What are you doing here?" "Waiting for you." He stood, his expression concerned. "Cherry let me in. She said you went job hunting."I set down my bag, suddenly exhausted. "I did.""And?"I shook my head. "And nothing. Same as always." I couldn't keep the bitterness from my voice."Arya." He moved closer. "This is exactly why I told you not to worry about work. You have the card. You can focus on taking care of yourself and the baby.""I don't want to just use your money, Marco!" The words burst out. "I need to do something. I need to feel like I'm contributing, like I have some control over my life."He narrowed his eyes on me. "You're pregnant, Arya.""I'm not an invalid! Women work

    I wouldn't do it.The thought of giving myself to Giovanni made my skin crawl and my stomach churn in equal measure. I would literally, genuinely rather die than have him inside me, claiming me like I was just another thing he owned.I ran to my room, my heart pounding, and my breath coming in sho

    I sat rigidly on the edge of an ornate sofa in the living room, my fingers wrapped around the small bird necklace Marco had given me. The metal was warm from my skin, and I pressed it against my chest like a talisman, like it could somehow protect me from what was coming.Across the room, Giovanni

    A hand landed on my shoulder, and squeezed. I looked up to find Enzo watching me with something that might have been sympathy.I almost smiled at the look. And here I thought, he was completely supportive of Giovanni’s narcissistic tendencies."Don't worry about it," he said gently. "Just... try no
