Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE: Bailey Again
Carlos walked out of the villa after dinner, a weight finally lifted from his shoulders for the first time in what felt like days. He didn't head to check on Bailey. He'd already done everything he could for her tonight. If she wasted this last chance he'd fought so hard to secure, that would be on her, not him.He spotted Pascal sitting on the porch at the side of the villa, a can of beer in his hand, his legs stretched out lazily in front of him as he stared up at the night sky.Carlos walked over, a small smile already tugging at his lips despite the exhaustion still clinging to him. Pascal looked up as he approached, offering the can without a word.Carlos took it, tilting his head back for a long, satisfying gulp before handing it back.Pascal finished off what remained in one go, then rose to his feet, crushing the can slightly before tossing it into the nearby bin with practiced precision.He turned back to look up at Carlos, his eyes catching the moonlight in a way that made
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR: Sending Her Away
Maxton's hands tightened under the table, his eyes fixed on Carlos kneeling on the floor in front of him. In all the years Carlos had served as his right hand, through countless dangerous missions, through betrayals and battles and everything in between, Maxton had never once seen him drop to his knees like this. Not for anyone or anything.Raina couldn't sit still any longer. Her eyes were already stinging with tears as she pushed back her chair and walked over to Carlos, gently placing a hand on his shoulder."Carlos, please get up," she said softly. "Sit down and let's talk about this properly, we are a family here."Maxton's expression shifted slightly, the hard edge in his eyes easing just a little. Whatever anger had been simmering beneath his calm exterior seemed to soften at the sight of Carlos in such a state.Carlos slowly rose to his feet, his legs wobbling from the force with which his knees had struck the floor. Pascal moved quickly, stepping in to steady him, guiding hi
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE: Please Show Mercy
Raina sat across from Maxton, watching him quietly place food on her plate. The table was set nicely, steam rising from the dishes.“You need to eat more food, remember you are eating for two now” Maxton said with a small smile and glanced at Raina's still flat stomach.“ I just don't have a good appetite these days” Raina replied with a sigh while staring at the pile of food with a frustrated expression.These were all her favorite dishes but now she suddenly doesn't like them like she used to. At first she was scared, but after searching it up online, she found out it was all because of the pregnancy.“Whether you have a good appetite or not, you still have to feed my little princess,” Maxton said with a smile.“How are you so certain that it will be a girl? And not a boy?” Raina asked him and Maxton suddenly frowned slightly.“I want a girl, we don't need a boy, Angelo is enough” He replied and Raina smiled gently.She was so happy that he was willing to step in as Angelo's father.
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO: I Can't Guarantee Anything
Bailey's legs gave out the moment Carlos said those words. She slid down the wall and sat on the cold floor, her whole body shaking.Even Carlos. Even the brother who always fixed her mess, who always found a way to make things okay, couldn't help her this time. That scared her more than anything.Carlos stood outside the door, looking at her through the small window. He didn't know what to say anymore. He had said the same things to her so many times before."Why, Bailey?" he asked, his voice tired. "Why can't you just behave? Just once? Why does everything always turn into a disaster with you?"Bailey didn't answer. She just kept crying, loud and broken, her hands covering her face. Her makeup ran down her cheeks in black streaks, mixing with her tears.Carlos heard footsteps behind him. He turned and saw Marcus and Pascal hurrying down the hallway toward him.Marcus slowed down first. He looked at Carlos's face and saw his red eyes. Carlos never let anyone see him like this, not ev
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONE: Why Did You Ruin Your Life
Carlos didn't waste a single second. He turned on his heel and headed straight for the security monitoring room, his mind already spinning through a dozen possibilities of what Bailey could have possibly done to warrant that look on Maxton's face.He pushed through the door and found the man in charge of the surveillance system already seated at his station, multiple screens glowing in front of him displaying feeds from various parts of the estate.“Carlos” The technician greeted with a respectful voice but he got no response."I need to see whatever Bailey did while I was away," Carlos said and his voice carried a sense of urgency.His hands were in a tight fist and his expression was tense and slightly anxious as he couldn't wait to know what happened. He kept praying in his mind that whatever it is, it should be something he can easily solve.The technician didn't even look surprised by the request and he also noticed Carlos's tense state. He simply nodded, already reaching for a
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY: Find Out What She Did
The convoy rolled through the gates of the Retroferd estate a little after four in the afternoon, the SUVs kicking up dust as they pulled into the wide driveway one after another. Carlos climbed out first, stretching his stiff back after the long hours of travel, he sighed in relief and glanced around."Get everything discharged," he instructed the guards trailing out of the other vehicles, his voice carrying easily across the courtyard. "Weapons back in storage, supplies logged and returned. Once that's done, go get some rest…All of you did well out there."The guards nodded, murmuring quiet acknowledgments as they began unloading gear from the vehicles, moving with the efficiency of men eager to finally put the mission behind them and collapse into their own beds.Carlos walked over to where Pascal stood near the last SUV, still securing a strap on one of the equipment cases. He reached out and gripped Pascal's shoulder firmly, leaning in slightly so only he could hear."I'll come
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER FIVE: Is Your Don Cheap?
Raina remained standing at the altar and some of the guests stared at her with pity while others had mocking expressions on their faces and were gloating over the fact that she wouldn't be acknowledged as the Don's wife by the Retroferds.Steps suddenly echoed on the stone floor and Lorenzo walked
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER FOUR: She Finds The Devil
The cathedral was a monument to old blood and older sins. Its towering stone arches and stained-glass windows usually spoke of peace, but today, they felt like a cage. The pews were filled with the elite of the underworld, men in tailored suits with bulges under their jackets, and women whose diam
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THREE: Walk Or Bury Your Mother
The morning of the wedding arrived quickly. For forty-eight hours, Raina had been a prisoner in her own bedroom, the four walls closing in on her until the air felt thin and toxic. She hadn't slept or eaten the bland meals the guards slid through the door. She felt exhausted, her body aching from
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER TWO: I Will Bury You Under It
On the southern side of the Capital city, the atmosphere was different. The Retroferd estate, twice the size of the Valente's, was a place of absolute power.The fortress of the family that had spent twenty years sabotaging the Valente bloodline. The feud had been vicious, killing sons and brother
