Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Raina is causing trouble
The night air inside the Valente mansion was heavy and filled with the scent of expensive cigars and wine.Michael Valente sat in his massive bedroom, surrounded by the most luxurious items that money can buy. The walls were lined with dark oak, and gold leaf decorated the high ceiling. It was a room designed to show everyone that he was powerful and wealthy.. a man who held the lives of thousands in his hands.But he never lets anyone in without being present as well, as it was also the place where his safes that contained top secrets were hidden.Lucia, Michael’s mistress, was sitting on his lap. She was wearing an expensive silk robe that cost more than most people earned in a year. She was a beautiful woman who had schemed her way into Michael's arms.She had spent years trying to push Raina’s mother out of Michael’s heart and mind. To Lucia, the Valente fortune was a prize she wanted all for herself. “Haha..You are so funny” She laughed softly at something Michael said, her fing
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Letting The Rage Out
Raina dropped her phone onto the thin mattress as her hands were shaking so hard she couldn’t even hold it anymore. The walls of the small store room felt like they were moving inward, trying to crush her and she felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her chest was tight, and her heart was moving like a drum."Bryan," she whispered with a shaky voice as she recalled how he smiled at her a few hours ago.“He is such a kind person and would never do anything bad” Raina murmured as her body trembled violently and her breathing became rapid.Bryan was the only person who had ever treated her like a human being. He wasn't her father, but he has showered her with so much fatherly love to last a lifetime. And now, because of her, he was in the hands of a monster and might get hurt badly. She knew exactly who had taken him. Maxton Retroferd “How dare that bastard touch Bryan! How dare he!” She yelled angrily.She just couldn't understand how Bryan had offended Maxton.What happened?…could it jus
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER TWELVE: The Price of a Hug
Shadow moved through the hallways of the Retroferd estate like a ghost. He was a man who lived in the dark, and his job was to find secrets. He reached the heavy doors of Maxton’s study and knocked twice."Enter," Maxton’s voice boomed from inside.Maxton was sitting behind his desk, the glow of a laptop lighting up his face. He looked tired and dangerous. He looked up as Shadow walked in and placed a digital tablet on the desk."Show me," Maxton commanded.Shadow swiped the screen. The first photo appeared. It was Raina. She wasn't the cold, stubborn girl Maxton knew. She was smiling. She was laughing. And she was wrapped in the arms of an older man in a dusty gym office.Maxton’s eyes turned into chips of ice. He stared at the way she was clinging to the man. He saw the joy on her face…a joy she had never shown him. In his world, a photo like this was a death sentence."Who is he?" Maxton asked. His voice was so low it sounded like a growl."His name is Bryan," Shadow replied. "He r
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ELEVEN: An Innocent Hug
As soon as Raina stepped into the gym, she felt alive again and her blood was boiling with determination. After the cold walls of the Retroferd mansion and hospital, the gym felt like home. This was where she could be herself without anyone judging her.She saw Bryan standing near the ring with a stopwatch in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the door. As soon as he saw Raina, his tired face lit up with relief. And she noticed that he looked like he hadn't slept in days."Raina! Thank God," he said while walking over quickly. He grabbed her by the shoulders, checking her for any bruises or injuries. "I’ve been worried sick. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?""I’m fine, Bryan," Raina said, though her voice was a little tired. "I’m tired, but I’m fine..Let’s talk in private."Bryan nodded and led her to his small, messy office at the back of the gym. He closed the door, blocking out the sound of other boxers hitting the bags and sat down behind his desk, before pointing to a chair for
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER TEN: It's A Matter Of Life And Death
The sun had not yet touched the sky when Raina’s eyes snapped open. The small room was extremely cold, but she didn’t care as she took a very cold shower. She knew this was the best time to make her move, so she moved silently, pulling on her favorite black joggers and a tight grey tank top. She laced up her sneakers, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and grabbed her gym bag.She had to get out and move her body because if she stayed in this house for one more hour, she felt like she would go crazy.Raina slipped out of her room and moved through the shadows of the hallway. She headed toward the back door of the mansion, her footsteps making no sound on the expensive rugs. But as she rounded the corner near the kitchen, she ran straight into someone."Oh!"Ava jumped back in shock. She was holding a tray of coffee, and her eyes went wide when she saw Raina. She looked at Raina’s clothes, then at the heavy gym bag slung over her shoulder."Mrs. Retroferd?" Ava whispered, her voice t
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER NINE: The Don's Rules
Raina sat on the soft leather sofa, her eyes fixed on the thick stack of papers Maxton was referring to.He was giving her rules?...How interesting.Maxton was quietly observing her every expression as he leaned his back on the backrest of the chair.Raina reached out and picked up the document. Her fingers were steady as she flipped through the pages. She read every line, her eyes moving fast.“Heh” Suddenly, a small sound came from her throat as she chuckled. “Haha” Then, she let out a real laugh that filled the quiet room.Raina looked up at Maxton with a mocking smile on her face. "Is this a joke?" she asked while pointing to a specific paragraph on the page. "What do you mean by 'keeping a distance' and 'no marital obligations'? Are you actually writing down that we have to stay away from each other? I thought that was already the plan."Maxton didn't smile as he didn't see what was funny. He just stared at her with his cold, grey eyes. "I just like everything to be clear," he s
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER SEVEN: The Dumped Fiancee
Raina stood nonchalantly in the doorway, her hands shoved deep into the pockets of her baggy black jeans, as she felt the eyes of every person at the long table crawling over her. They looked at her messy hair and her plain blue T-shirt. Their faces twisted as if they were looking at a piece of tr
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER SIX: A Painful Memory
Raina turned the heavy key in the lock and the loud click of the bolt sounded like the end of a long bad dream. She looked around the tiny room with a tired expression. In the corner, she saw her old gym bags and suitcases, and she realized that her father’s men must have dropped them off while sh
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER EIGHT: Not Giving A Fuck About Anyone
Raina continued eating without a care, she picked meat and some other dishes for herself. She just wanted to fill her stomach quickly and get out of the dining room.“Why is she eating like that?”“I heard her father abandoned her, so she probably hasn't seen such good food before”“It's so disgust
