The Leone villa felt cold in the aftermath of the event.

It left a dark, bitter feeling in my mind. And I couldn't get Marco off my mind throughout the ride home.

I was about to open my bedroom door when I heard noises downstairs.

Like Marco said; I possessed the survival instinct of a kitten.

Against better judgement, I took off my heels and tiptoed to the source of the noise —dad's office on the main floor.

Guards were all over the estate but dad had strictly prohibited guards from waltzing

    “You hung up on me?” Marco said immediately I answered the phone, disbelief coating his cool voice.This brought a smile to my face in spite of myself.I switched to the speaker phone before he finished speaking.Beads of sweat trailed down Stephanie's forehead despite the room temperature being relatively cold.“I didn't want to delay you any longer,” I drawled. “Aren't you on your way to eat the delicious breakfast your girlfriend prepared for you?” Marco tone dropped to a deadly frost, like ice coating a resting lava.“What girlfriend, Principessa?”I raised a brow at Stephanie who was desperately mouthing the word ‘please’, while struggling to stand on her own feet.Her pride from earlier was completely striped, in its place was a trembling mess I found myself feeling sorry for.“The woman in your apartment of course,” I replied. “Isn't doctor Stephanie your girlfriend?”The sound of Marco's groan filled the room from the phone. I could imagine him running a hand down this handso

    “You're still here,” I commented half heartedly. Stephanie looked at me with an egoistic expression, cocking an eyebrow.“Of course,” she said. “I visit Marco so often, this house is practically a second home at this point.” She gestured towards a chair at the kitchen table. “Please have your seat.”I almost scoffed at the fake politeness.As if she was the hostess!My gaze swept over the assortment of food littering the marble table. They all looked foreign, nothing like the junk we swallow for breakfast here in the US.“They're all Italian dishes,” Stephanie answered my thoughts. “Marco's favourite.”A bitter taste filled my tongue. How could she know Marco's favourite dishes? Was this a ruse or was there really some closeness between her and Marco?My eyes twitched. I swallowed the bitter taste causing the foul sensation to scratch my throat incessantly.I had enough self awareness to recognise what I was feeling as pure jealousy. Over a man I barely knew.Not like he was ready

    Sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the thick grey curtains in gentle streaks, delicately warming my face despite the glass wall.I rubbed my eyes with my fists, fully awake, then spotted my belongings on the chair Marco sat in last night before we—*Cough! Cough!*It must've been the drugs. Last night, I was a little too bold. If not for Marco's impressive restraint, I'd have willingly slept with him.My phone, clothes and a new shopping bag were arranged in a neat pile.My interest piqued and I quickly slipped out of bed to access the items.My clothes had been dry cleaned. They smelled faintly of my perfume with a mix of expensive laundry soap scent.A new set of clothes occupied the fancy shopping bag.Although the dizziness of being drugged two nights ago was long gone, it wasn't forgotten.Sophia played a number on me, attempting to defile me with her disgusting nephew in a club room. I intended to make her pay for it.After taking a quick bath, I scrolled through my ph

  • Secret Obsession    Chapter 41: You are MINE.

    Frustrated, I thrust my hip upward, pressing myself against his hard knee. And almost melting once the satisfying feeling of applying pressure on that insistent ache washed over me.Marco slipped his free hand under me, swiftly pulling out my legs, which I'd been sitting on, and spreading them a little to give himself more room.But he still wasn't touching me!I've never been this intimate with anyone before, but I knew exactly where I wanted his hands: not on my waist rubbing tantalising circles that drove me to the edge of insanity.As if he sensed my thoughts, Marco broke away from my neck to look down at me.I immediately got lost in his sharp, phoenix like gaze.“Tell me what you want.”It was a plea and a command fused into his cool voice.“I… I…” I stuttered that single word, unable to form anything more within my fogged head. Marco's arm circled my waist, holding my back so it wouldn't strain from my position against the headboard.“I need to hear you, Principessa.” His dee

    GABRIELLA’S POV.“Don't kill him!” I said, making Marco squint at me with a sudden frown.His hands traced over the intricate design on his signet ring in an obsessively repetitive pattern.He watched me for a moment beneath his darkened gaze before he spoke;“You're pleading to the life of the man who almost violated you?” I could see the anger flared in his deep gaze at the mention of what Brian intended to do to me.“That's not what I mean,” I shifted, discarded my tray to the side. “I want to handle this myself.”His brows furrowed upwards with a questioning crease, then he returned his attention to the device resting on his lap. His fingers rested on the laptop without typing.He appeared to be annoyed, his jaw clenched and unclenched. The veins in his exposed forearms bulged out due to how tightly his fists were clenched.“You still want me out of your business,” he murmured coldly.He said it like an observation but I asked myself; Did I want Marco out of my business?No.If a

    THIRD PERSON POV. Gabriella managed a nod, her words stuck in her throat.Marco shook his head, disapproving growl rumbling low in his chest. His lips touched her forehead in a light peck before holding her gaze again.“Userai le tue parole, sì?” he asked in Italian.Translation (You will use your words, yes?)She sucked in a nervous breath, inhaling his beautiful scent of spice. Unsure if she felt giddy from anticipation or fear. Maybe a dangerous mix of both.Marco was the kind of man she would've never spared a glance in the past. But now, enamoured in his deep gaze, rooted by his touch, gently molding her curves, she couldn't seem to look away.Her face warmed when he dropped another feathery kiss on the tip of her nose.His eyes never wavering from hers. Until she parted her lips with a breath of two syllables.“Marco…” Her fingers tangled in his shirt, pulling him closer and raising herself on her toes to meet him halfway.“Posso io?” Her scent, vanilla and a mix of something f

    “Teaching me what?” I snapped.Everyone gathered around the round table stared at me with disapproval. Obviously, in their world, you don't interrupt your Don while he's speaking.But Gabriel Leone wasn't my Don, he was a father who'd failed me and my mother.Five years ago, he turned a blind eye

    I sighed, the weight of everything from today still pressing against my chest.. Placing a hand on my shoulder, Jack said, “Don't worry. I know not to tell her anything about you.”I imagined different outcomes to the stunt Sophia and Cora were pulling but I couldn't come to a conclusion on what th

As long as I didn't ha
