2025-03-08 04:15:40I WAS FORCED TO MARRY A MOB BOSS
The church bell rang, and with every ring, my heart gave a little jump, as Dad walked me down the aisle. The gaze of all eyes on me made me feel exposed, even though I was wrapped in a stark‑white wedding dress. The guests sat on wooden benches that were covered with lavender‑colored linen. Every face turned toward me. The air with the scent of fresh rose petals and lavender bouquets, was thick enough to make my stomach twist. I shifted my gaze enough to catch one last glimpse of Dad. The man who had built our empire, the man who had decided my fate… He stared back at me with a hollow pride. I would never forgive him for pushing me into this marriage with that infamously wealthy billionaire, running the most cruel cartels of Mexico. I, Emily Arquette, the supposed heiress of the Arquette legacy… My whole life fell apart in a heartbeat. My father’s “noble” businessman reputation turned out to be a lie; the price of our wealth was my freedom. I never imagined I would walk down the aisle, dressed in a white gown, about to marry a man I have never even met. It wasn’t that easy for me to surrender my fate though. I had planned my escape from this as soon as I found myself in this situation. I was this close to turning down all the wealth until my boyfriend’s betrayal was exposed and covered me with rage. I chose this wedding to get back at him. It was too late to go back when I realized the height of the cliff I was walking along the edge of. The price of bailing on this wedding would be my own life. There I am, walking down the aisle as my breaths coming in shallow gasps, praying to God for mercy with every breath I took. I feel one tear slipping down my cheek. I was no longer scared for my own life though. I was terrified for the second heartbeat inside my womb, a secret I’d discovered in the bridal room. At the front of the chapel, under a canopy of candles, he, ‘The Senior -something- Alvarado’ awaited by the priest. “He seemed too young to be ‘The Senior’ himself, as the title implied a more seasoned man. His posture, the aura that radiated even from behind, the suit he was wearing… His buzzed hair made it hard to discern his hair shade, but it seemed dark brown, like Eduardo’s. ‘But he has soft, curly hair, unlike the groom before my eyes.’ I thought to myself. He pivoted slightly as I stepped next to him. My eyes slowly met his, and I shivered to my very core when his familiar gaze locked into mine. He greeted me with a nasty grin, as he leaned towards me to whisper in my ear. He raised his left hand, covered with freshly dried blood, holding it slightly before my face. ‘‘Take a good look at this, Emily.’’ he whispered with a steel cold voice. ‘‘This is the first time I’ve shed blood from someone’s life and I did this for you. If you behave and be a good wife, that will be the last. Or else, you will be the butcher’s wife, instead of a billionaire’s…’’

THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD KILLING ME SOFTLY
The feeling of something shuttering inside was vivid. I could not believe that I grabbed a gun and attempt to shot someone, and I did this just for a bodyguard. Although I knew well, he was not just a bodyguard to me. I heard him shouting ''Emily!'' down there. The look on his face was telling hoe terrified he was. He should've asked me about it. I still was holding a gun between my unsteady hands and my eyes were wide open. My chest was bursting because of my heavy breath and neat heartbeat.I heard Carlos' sarcastic laughter before my eyes found him. That would've been a missed shot. Carlos was not only fine, he was also enjoying with this situation. He was moving forward and I knew his steps aimed me. I was still surprised and terrified by the crew; they were standing still and not doing anything neither to protect me nor their chief, Eduardo.Carlos was about to step Eduardo's hand on his way to me. This is when, everything turned like we were under attack. I heard sirens, there we
THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD ALL FOR A BODYGUARD
It was a calm evening with a summer breeze. I was dining with Carlos, discussing the terms of our new agreement. The place was dimly lit, mostly timber-furnished; the decor was dull and bland, in a Scandinavian style. The boring lounge music was so generic. Eduardo stood beside us, trying to kill Carlos with his eyes. After the unfortunate creature Benjamin’s scandal, his father canceled the contracts and agreements. I was actually surprised at how much power they had. I always thought Daddy was the biggest until that day. Any who, we were lucky to find a backup partner. Carlos’s company was as strong as Alvarado’s. Alvarado’s... That company felt like God’s hand. After the Sol Food’s money laundering scandal, they appeared like a rainbow in a stormy weather. “Would you like to have another glass of wine, Emily?” Carlos asked, very gently. “No, thank you,” I responded with a smile. “Actually, I’d call it a night here, if that’s fine with you too.” We had talked about the terms, be
THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD REGRETS and BOUNDARIES
If the gaze of someone were used as a knife, Eduardo’s eyes would be sharp enough to cut the air. Neither was Dad’s intention to offend him, nor to insult. That was just a generous gesture for doing his job right. God, Eduardo’s dignity was like another person in the room; it was that sharp. How could Dad not see something like that? He didn’t even bother to lean down and pick the keys up. “I appreciate your generous offer, Sir Arquette,” he said with a responsive tone, but I could sense the mild flavor of his anger hidden underneath. “Please don’t take me wrong, but I didn’t help an abused woman in exchange for anything. Now, if you’ll please excuse me…” he said and walked back to his room. “What did I do wrong?” Dad questioned himself. “You didn’t mean to offend him, I know, Daddy. However, he is too strict with his pride.” “I have never met anyone like that before,” he said. “Miranda would have thrilled, for example.” “Miranda is a greedy person, Dad. All she wants is someone’s
THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD THE ROLLS ROYCE
I have always been my daddy's spoiled little girl. All I needed to do was snap my fingers to get things done for me. I remember one day Dad invested in a chocolate factory because I loved their salted caramel chocolate bars. The factory decided to stop producing those bars, and that couldn't stand with me being upset, so this is how CarEmily was born. I was just eight years old when that happened. He bought me a Lamborghini in every color and shade for my first car. He told me that I would be riding matching cars with my outfits. He was my rock. I knew when it all fell down, even then Dad would be the one by my side. He would take my words no matter what. It was like his entire existence was dedicated to standing by my side all the time. Not only was I feeling blessed to have such a father like him, but I also knew that I had to choose a dad like him for my future children. As the luckiest daughter on earth, it would have been such a struggle for me to witness my kids growing up in t
THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW 18+
Two nights in a row... I was in his arms two nights in a row, and it was getting better. This time we had shed our hesitations along with our clothes or, in our case, torn them apart. I have to admit, I liked confident Eduardo better. He switched from acting like a humble servant who had to please his Madame to a passionate lover. The best part? The process didn’t require much time. I’ve been in relationships before, had affairs, and spent nights in men’s arms... But I’ve never felt like this. I felt like the missing piece of a puzzle finally placed in its spot. The second night already felt like the two hundredth in a row to me. It was silly maybe I was drugged by my recent orgasms but that was the feeling. Being in Eduardo’s arms through the night’s silence, enjoying his pecks on my forehead every two seconds, could be called peace and security. My unpleasant voice broke the silence. “I have to go now,” I said. Eduardo refused. “No, you don’t.” “Yes, I do...” “No, you don
THE BILLIONAIRE BODYGUARD BAD GIRLS GET WHAT THEY DESERVE 18+
God! I love Eduardo's facial expressions and the traffic of feelings from his thoughts. It is purely amusing to see him thinking between what he wants and what is right. I could tell what he was thinking just watching him frowning, clenching his jaw, moving his eyes as he calculated the results of his actions and his heartbeat despite all the things... His lust was like walking around in the room like a third person that Eduardo tried to control, yet he didn't want to. I could tell he was reminding himself that we were at my parents' mansion; he didn't want to get caught. That was too risky for an affair... "Eduardo?" I said. "Do you want it, or no?" "You know the answer," he said with a sigh. "But..." "Na, ah ah! No but!" I saw his eyes wandering around the room; he was trying to convince himself that he was doing the right thing with an inner talk. I could tell that easily. I felt my knees getting sore against the harsh fabric of the carpet, so I sat next to him, on the e
