Z A R A He crouches down as I lean my head into his chest. "Zara..." he sounds softer while he unties my wrists. I wrap my arms around his waist, trying with all my might to make him see reason, to make him stop,"Please don't make me do this... I'm sorry, I won't talk to Elijah like that again but please, I can't..." My words don't push any further, I've reached my limit and there's no fight left in me. In fact, I didn't have any fight, to begin with, because I'm terrified of what he may do if I said anything out of line.I'm sure my haste actions surprised him momentarily because he didn't react at first. But, then, he slowly wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer to him."Since when?" He asks, resting his head on my shoulder. "When did you fall in love with me?"I squeeze my eyes shut while holding him tighter. I don't know why I thought those words would save me, though it did. But now, I'm vulnerable, I made myself extremely vulnerable."I don't think there was a specific

Z A R A The sun shine's brightly through the windows, making me squint in my sleep. I groan as I cuddle closer against the body providing me with comfort. Body providing me with comfort? What body?My eyes shoot open and I remember the events of last night. Alejandro is still asleep, his arms are still wrapped around me.I reach out to stroke my hand through his hair, he looks so beautiful and peaceful when he's asleep. Just yesterday, I saw this man get hot and heavy with Amelia and Marcus, yet I'm here in his bed, acting like we're a happily married couple.No self-respect, huh, Zara? My conscious speaks. He says you're only his but the same doesn't apply to him in regards to you."I could watch him like this forever," I sigh quietly, ignoring my logical thoughts as my thumb grazes his bottom lip carelessly.Alejandro suddenly opens his mouth and lightly bites down on my finger, making me gasp, "Craving a kiss?""No," I lie."Again, lying isn't your fort," he chuckles, his morning

Z A R A Charlotte looks at me with the most horrified expression. I put Alejandro on mute for a second, "Please bear with me, Charlotte.""Ma'am, please don't—"I put a finger up to my lips to hush her as I unmute the call."Hm, this is an odd request," he says."I'll feel much more comfortable with her alongside with me," I try two convince him."I won't be enough?" He sounds slightly offended."You're a popular man," I sigh. "I'm sure you won't be able to spend the whole night beside me to keep me company.""Frank will be there as an undercover bodyguard," he says as if Frank's a good company to have."Charlotte will keep me at ease at the party because I'll be able to speak with her more comfortably," I'm trying to push this as much as I can without upsetting him."Fine, you win, my love. Have her choose out something appropriate, she has to look the part of a socialite. Charge it on my card," he finally agrees."Thank you! I appreciate it!" I grin."Maybe you can show me some of

Z A R A "Al, stop! You'll break her jaw!" Amelia warns."You fucking bitch," he's just inches away from actually cracking my jaw open."Alejandro!" Amelia yells."Amelia, get out," he says loudly."But—"He whips his head in her direction, "Did you not fucking hear me clearly? I said get the fuck out!" His voice became ferocious enough to wipe out whatever confidence I had just built up minutes ago. She grabs her skirt that was lying on the floor and quickly walks out of the room. He grabs my head and slams it on his desk, face-first while using his other hand to hold my arm behind my back. He hits both my ankles with his feet, hard enough for me to not be able to feel them anymore.I bite my lip hard to stop myself from screaming out from the pain."First Elijah and now Marcus, I didn't know you've become such a whore," he says."Speak for yourself," I grit my teeth, holding in my tears. "You didn't walk in on me multiple times giving men a blowjob."His grip on my head tightens, as

Z A R A I did see Alejandro the next morning, but, shockingly, both of us ignored each other. I was half expecting him to slam me against the couch, violating every inch of my body yet again but he didn't. He didn't even glance over in my direction.This went on for a whole week and a half. The same routine: we would cross paths in the morning, but he wouldn't acknowledge my presence, and neither would I acknowledge his. At night, he would come home late and go straight to his room or wouldn't come home at all.However, our eyes met just once one morning, in the middle of the week. He looked extremely tired, the shadow under his eyes was dark enough for anyone to notice at a glance. His lips looked dry and thin, his cheeks sunken in, his hair messy compared to it is never out of place, and his usual clean shaven face has a 5 o'clock shadow.He looked rough.As he should after everything he did to meThis morning isn't any different, in fact, I'm starting to enjoy this. I can live the

Z A R A "Oh my God, Ma'am!" Charlotte gasps as I twirl around in front of the mirror. "You look absolutely beautiful! I can't take my eyes off of you!""Thank you so much!" I grin. I feel really pretty in the gown."The style suits you so much! The designers really did a great job at perfecting this," she smiles."Yes! I would love to wear the life out of this dress!" I twirl one more time, the black skirt of the dress inflates as I spin. The sleeves are puffy, made with a soft net material, that's translucent. God, I love the sleeves. The designer had a black turtleneck shirt sewed in under the dress so my neck and arms aren't visible, however, the turtleneck shirt is a tad bit lighter than the rest of the dress to not take away from the dress' gorgeous design.Charlotte hands me the chiffon black scarf that she bought for me and I thank her. I have already finished my makeup and hair a little while ago, all I have left is my hijab. I set the scarf around my head, the chiffon materi

Z A R A Five minutes in, just as I predicted, Alejandro was swept away by many people. He tried his best to keep me by his side so I can keep up with the pace but soon realized that I would rather not."Do you want to start with some appetizers?" He asks, which surprises me. "They have a table set up on the other end. You can take Charlotte with you. I'll have Frank hover around you.""Yes!" I'm grateful for two reasons: one being that I hate being dragged around into conversations I don't understand and two, I am starving but I'm always starving so that's not new. "I'll be back after I'm done."He nods and lets me go. Charlotte and I make our way to the food when I gasp at the different, colorful assortment."They all look healthy, yet so delicious," I'm drooling at this point, looking at the various dishes I can try."They're all assortments of antipasto," Charlotte says as she picks one up."Anti-what?" I blink."Antipasto is Italian for appetizers," she explains. "That's a grill

Z A R A "I'm sure you've been introduced to the five bosses?" Elijah asks.I nod, "Except for one... something Gambino, I think?""Ah, Carlo Gambino. He's the main character of this story," Elijah sighs. "Your high school was around the Toronto area in Canada, right?"I nod again, "Correct.""Well, Alejandro enrolled into the school to get closer to one of your classmates, who was the son of Gambino's brother," he explains. "We needed to kill off his brother because he betrayed the omertà.""He betrayed the what?" I raise a brow."Omertà is the code of silence and honor that we uphold as members of this organization. Betraying the omertà is one of the most shameful things you can do as a made man," he continues."And how does one betray this code?" I ask out of curiosity."By having a big mouth and being a pussy," he smirks.I try to stifle my laughter, "Explain further, please.""It's by ratting us out to the authorities, the government, or outsiders, especially during a criminal in
