LOGIN"How does it feel? How does it feel for you to finally know the truth?" she asked slowly and clearly.I clenched my hands in my lap as I tried to remind myself to remain calm. I must not play into her hands."What truth?" I asked innocently."What else? The fact that Rowan is some kind of Mafia Prince and that his entire family business isn’t just about wealth and power, but also about blood and some shady other stuff," Francesca said as her eyes gleamed knowingly.I swallowed hard, but there was no denying that Francesca knew the truth. And now she knew that the secret had been exposed to me, undoubtedly by none other than Lloyd.Her directness caught me off guard, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say. It was already too late for me to deny it, and all I could think about was my poor mother, who was so ignorant of it all."You don’t belong in this world, Annabelle. You’re such a nice girl," Francesca said with clear, mocking pity in her voice.My entire body stiffened as I star
"Yes, I’m so sure of it too myself," my mother said teasingly before letting out a laugh.I appreciated that she was adding some humor to our conversation, although I doubted that it was genuine. The truth was I wasn’t so sure at all about what I just said. However, what else could I possibly say?A part of me feared that this business trip had to do with the mafia business that they were running in the shadows, but there was no way that I could tell my mother that."Why don’t we watch this movie? My friend told me that it’s supposed to be interesting," I told my mother in a desperate attempt to change the topic....The mansion was uncharacteristically quiet the next morning when I woke up. It felt like having both masters of the mansion leave had left a void that couldn’t be filled. Apart from that, everything in life proceeded so normally as if nothing was happening.My mother sat on the sofa in the living room sipping coffee while I tried my best to keep some sort of casual conver
I felt my entire body freeze when he suddenly sensed our presence and his eyes flickered towards us. George’s expression transformed into a warm smile immediately the moment that his eyes landed on us. All the frustration and stress vanished completely behind a forced mask of ease. He ended the call without saying anything further, before turning to us with a forced smile."You’re back, my dears," he said smoothly, as if nothing had happened.I wanted to grab my mother’s arm and take her to my bedroom, but my mother quickly stepped forward towards George. I thought it was better that she didn’t find out what was going on, but clearly, my mother thought otherwise."Is something the matter?" my mother asked with a frown on her face.George let out a soft laugh before he waved his hand dismissively."Darling, it’s just work. There’s always something going on and sometimes you need to deal with a few bumps along the way. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of it," George replied calmly.My mo
I took in a deep breath and told myself to just say it. Before I could stop myself, I quickly blurted out the question that I had on my mind."Mother, are you happy with George?" I asked.My question must have taken her by surprise because my mother blinked her eyes rapidly a couple of times before her face softened, and she smiled."What kind of question is that? Of course, I am," she replied, followed by a sweet laugh.I forced myself to hold her gaze as I nodded my head a couple of times at her expected answer."Do you really love him?" I asked a different question this time.My mother laughed even louder than before, nodding her head as if my question was absurd."Honestly, I never thought that I could fall in love again like this after... you know, what happened with your father. I’m in love with him, more than I thought possible. He’s wonderful. He’s very supportive, and he’s been so kind to me," my mother replied before smiling to herself as if recalling some very fond memories
"You don’t trust me?" he repeated my words darkly."I’m sorry. I honestly don’t know if I can," I admitted in a shaky voice.Rowan’s expression only hardened even further. I saw something unfamiliar flicker in his eyes, but before I could identify it, he quickly looked away."Do you want to leave?" Rowan asked after a long moment of silence.His unexpected question sent a jolt running through my body. I stared at Rowan speechlessly when I realized that I didn’t know what I wanted to do.Did I want to leave?I had been thinking about it non-stop, about leaving the mafia world and taking my mother with me. But when the time came for me to answer his question, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything."Do you honestly think that you can simply walk away?" Rowan asked accusingly.His eyes were wild with rage, but I only saw it for a brief moment before his lips came down to claim mine in a punishing kiss. His lips felt so hot on mine as his hands moved to grope my breasts roughly. Rowan wr
I was hiding away in my bedroom one evening, when suddenly someone knocked a little too loudly on my door. My instincts told me that it was Rowan standing on the opposite side of the door. At first, I thought I could pretend I couldn’t hear him, but that only resulted in him banging harder and faster on my bedroom door."I know that you’re in there!" Rowan yelled from the other side of the door.I had no choice but to open the door for him. Rowan looked beside himself as he stood right in front of me. Before I could open my mouth to ask him what he wanted, he pushed past me into my bedroom. I hesitantly closed the door behind me as I turned to face him. I had never seen Rowan look so upset, and I began to wonder what it was that was bothering him so much."What on earth is wrong with you?" Rowan asked me, his voice sharp as he stood with his hands on his hips in the middle of my bedroom. His presence was commanding, but that only made me stand my ground."I don’t know what you’re talk
My mother had been very insistent that I accompany her on her walk down the aisle. I thought it would be a bit much for me to hold her hand as if I was her father sending her off to her groom, so we negotiated for me to hold the train of her wedding dress as if I was her youngest sister. I thought i
To my shock, Rowan was already out the door by the time I looked up again. I found him standing in front of the door when I exited his bedroom. "Now that you know where my bedroom is, you can drop by whenever you need something... or if you feel so lonely that you can’t sleep at night," he said bef
"If you say so. Oh, I almost forgot to ask, but Carlton will be coming to the wedding as well, right?" My mother asked, sounding quite excited. It pained me to see the look of anticipation in her eyes when she spoke of Carlton because the two of them got along quite well. Although now that I knew t
I moaned from the pleasure of being stretched and then filled, and all my mind could think of was the joy of being filled by his hard cock and ravished until I surrendered myself to him completely. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the pleasure when his fingers began moving inside of me. It took
