Mag-log in“Is this consensual?” The judge asked meekly. You could tell he was concerned for me, seeing as the man who wanted me to have his last name chose to have it done in the middle of the night, and he was carrying a gun.I commended him for being brave enough to worry about me, even though he was clearly being intimidated into silence.“I’m fine,” I said with a smile, hoping I would be able to make him believe it, but he wasn’t buying anything.“The wedding can’t take place without a witness—”Before he was even done with the statement, Dom, Nico, Luca, and Enzo all arrived at the same time. I was shocked to see all of them there. I didn’t even think Enzo was in New York.“How did he get all of you here on such short notice?” I asked suspiciously.“We all happened to be in New York at the same time. That’s all you need to know.” Nico answered.“Bullshit. Nero was planning this all along.”Nero pulled me in for a peck and looked into my eyes.“I didn’t plan to marry you today, but I planne
Two weeks in Turks and Caicos, and Nero and I were ready to leave. Business was waiting for us back in New York. It sucked to leave such a lovely view, but it was very necessary. I was also very bored.Nero and I had run out of things to do there.We took a private jet back to New York and drove to my penthouse. We had decided to sleep there for the night because his house held memories of Lily and me. The penthouse was the only place she had barely set foot in.The guilt of being the one to end her life was eating me alive, but I was doing a good job at acting like it wasn’t. I knew she deserved it, and if I were to go back in time, I would do it all over again.But it didn’t change the fact that she was someone I loved for a very long time. She meant a lot to me, even after I found out she had killed my parents. That, however, didn’t mean she wouldn’t pay for her sins.I unpacked my clothes as Nero made us some food. He loved cooking for me. It was the best aspect of living with him
When I saw Nico approaching me by the pool, I rolled my eyes. He was more overbearing than Nero, and that was saying something. For some reason, he wouldn’t leave me alone. He was convinced I needed his company.Luca, too, but at least he sat in silence and worked on his computer next to me. Nico was always talking about something, and it was nothing short of irritating. It was like He derived some sort of pleasure from annoying me.Luckily, Tally wasn’t around. I hadn’t forgotten all about her suspicious phone call at Nero’s house. After what Lily had done to me, there was a fat chance I believed anything she told me.She had warned me about Lily without knowing anything about her. As soon as I saw her, that would be my first question. I had almost forgotten she had told me that my best friend was the problem.I wanted to know how the fuck she knew that and didn’t speak up more about it. She should have voiced her concerns to everyone, not just me, and told me how she knew Lily could
Once he secured me on the bed, he walked around shirtless in nothing but his linen pants and a boner that was very much visible. Like every other sex room he had, this one had all sorts of toys.I saw him pick up a feather, and I knew he was going to tease me for a long time before he gave me what I wanted. He had to punish me for thinking he had brought other women to the villa.I couldn’t believe he had bought a villa for us. I knew I would spend the rest of my life loving that man the moment he sacrificed things for me over and over again. He was my soulmate, and I was insanely lucky to have him.He pulled me out of my thoughts when he brought the feather and started caressing me over my clothes. The knife in his hand came out of nowhere. In one movement, he ripped my dress in two.He slowly took it off me and put the knife aside. He used the feather to tease my nipples slowly. My breath hitched, and I itched to feel something more. But I was cuffed, and I had to lie there and take
After being belted by Nero fifteen times and counting each time, my ass was red and raw. He made sure to add lashings every single time I forgot to count. We were still on the beach, and although it was private, we were still in public.Nero owned a whole private beach. Every single time I thought I knew how rich the man was, he managed to prove me wrong.He squeezed my ass cheeks, sending pain through my body. It went straight to my pussy like every other time. I was wet and ready for him. Especially when he teased me by letting his fingers brush my pussy.He didn’t touch me, though, because he enjoyed torturing me. He flipped me on the table so I was looking at him. I watched as he stared at my pussy like it was the best thing he had ever seen.He parted my folds and licked his lips in anticipation.“I have missed eating this pussy, birichina. You don’t know how much I’ve refused to give in to temptation.”“Nero…” I whimpered in an attempt to get him to do something—anything. “Pleas
Nero took me out to dinner on the beach. There were lanterns, a table, flowers, and a band. It was romantic as hell, and it made me feel loved and seen. However, it wasn’t what I wanted.My trust in people had been eroded to the point that I questioned every bond I had with people. I didn’t want to interact with people anymore, and it felt like everyone was lying to my face.I hadn’t even talked to Emily because part of me was scared I would go through the same thing with her that I had with Lily. She was relentless, always texting me to ask if I was doing fine.I didn’t want to create unnecessary bonds with people. As Nero’s fiancée, I had lots of people wanting to get close to me for opportunities. I thought I could tell apart people who were using me and those who liked me, but Lily was proof I couldn’t.“You don’t like the food?” Nero asked.He was the best part of what had happened. He, Nico, and Enzo had cemented themselves as part of my family. They dropped everything when they
I was thankful for Viktor saving me, and I wanted to treat him to lunch to show my gratitude. Nero agreed that if I wanted, I could have one lunch with him where I could gift him something as a reward.“I don’t understand why you don’t find it suspicious that he happened to be there to save you. I
Lorenzo didn’t want me in his house. He was scared. I saw fear in his eyes when he saw me standing next to his niece, and it brought me a great deal of satisfaction to know it was so easy to get under his skin.He knew of my reputation.“When you told me Nero DeLuca was your boyfriend, I didn’t bel
Once we got to my office, I put the peonies in a vase and added some water. I had planned to buy flowers for it anyway.“I don’t appreciate that you did that, and you didn’t at least talk to me first,” I said to him as I crossed my arms against my chest.“I know you wouldn’t have agreed.”“It would
“I have to go, but I’ll see you tonight,” he said as he gently pulled me off his lap and stood. He put his hand around my waist and pulled me into him. He kissed me hard and released me.I watched him walk out, knowing people were going to want to know what we talked about in the conference room. A
