THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 18: THE STENCH OF TROUBLE
TANYA’S POVI opened my eyes to find Rodrigo fast asleep beside me, his head resting against my chest. My movement made him stir awake.He blocked me a few times as he looked at me, his face twisting into a questioning look. I, for one, was also wondering what he was doing here.He moved back, creating some space between us. He rubbed his eyes and then climbed off the bed.“How did I get here?” He asked, more to himself than to me.I found myself wondering the same. I didn't even notice him lying on my bed.The stench of alcohol at the fact that he was drunk, maybe he walked into my room because he felt too lazy to walk to his?He entered my bathroom and began throwing up. I could tell from the way he was sounding in there that it was going to be one heck of a hangover.I sat on the bed and cradled my knees. The door clicked open, and he walked out. His moist hair dangled over his forehead, and he was bare-chested.My eyes roamed his frame. Rodrigo was muscular; that wasn't new news, b
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 19: HOLES
RODRIGO’S POV It was dusk, the sun was rising, and the skies were still gloomy. I took in some smoke and then discarded the cigar stick. I voided the contents of my ashtray into the trash can. The door clicked open, and Anthonio made his way in. “The package has arrived. They're waiting for us at the port”, he said monotonously. Immediately, I got on my feet, “Get the car ready. I'll be down in a minute.” I ordered and watched him nod before walking out. It has been roughly three days since Luigi's death; nobody has made a move yet. Perhaps they were waiting for the right time to strike. I had to be one step ahead, and I'd deal with that problem when I returned. I opened my wardrobe, running my hands through all the blazers that were hung as I was searching for the right suit to wear. A well-tailored purplish black suit caught my eye, and I unhooked it. The fabric was smooth against my skin, perfect. I put it on and then adjusted my shirt while staring at my refle
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 20: THE REQUEST
TANYA’S POV I sat there silently, trying to wipe my sweaty palms against my thighs. Rodrigo's father, Mr. Augusto, had such a commanding aura that it was almost suffocating. I thought Rodrigo was evil, but then I began to see where he got it from. He looked between Rodrigo and me. “Ease up, son. And I just wanted to spend some time with you and my daughter-in-law.” Rodrigo visibly stiffened as he shoved his hands into his pocket. “I'm getting better, and I decided to do something I should have done a long time ago: have dinner with the family. It's been a while, hasn't it?” Rodrigo's eyes widened in real time as he stood there. “Is he…” he trailed off. His father chucked, “Don't tell me you're still on bad terms with your brother?” He asked. Rodrigo lowered his head a little. “Me and him, we don't talk that much. It's better that way for everyone's peace of mind.” “Nonsense!” He replied, his voice echoing. “You two are brothers. You're the only children I have. One w
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 21: A TWIN LIKE ENEMY
Rodrigo's POVFabio drew out a seat and settled down, letting out a small sigh as he swept his gaze across the table. “I apologize, Father, I was held up in heavy traffic,” he said without missing a beat. I couldn't help but scoff at his excuse. He raised his head, and our eyes met. He held his gaze, and I had mine. “Cut it out, you two,” Father said, irritated and fed up. I looked away and continued to stuff my mouth with food. Fabio was cunning and tricky. Most of my childhood revolved around him being a naughty pain in the ass and me suffering the consequences for his misdeeds. I began to reminisce about the time when he had broken our mother's priced vase and how he covered up his tracks and put the blame on me.I was grounded for weeks until the maid, feeling guilty enough, decided to confess the truth.Looking back, he never apologized for that and many other similar incidents. In school, I would get in trouble for things he did because he was an excellent liar, and we prac
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 22: FUCK!!
TANYA’S POV From the window, I could see Augusto’s car leaving along with Fabio's. A sigh of relief escaped my throat, but my moment of peace was quickly interrupted when the door suddenly clicked open. Startled, I turned to face him. He stared down at me, his jaws clenched as he narrowed his eyes on me. I took in a deep breath and tried to walk past him to the restroom. It's not like I needed to use the toilet. I just wanted to be anywhere but here, with him. He grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks. “What the hell do you think you were doing down there?” I snatched my hand away, causing me to stagger backwards due to the amount of force I used. “I made one mistake, sorry,” I said, sarcasm lacing my tone. He closed in on me, and his perfume wafted into my nostrils. “I told you to keep your mouth shut and not speak.” “You saw what your twin did, and he put me in a corner. How's that my fault?” I turned around and placed my hands against my hips. “You know, I'm start
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 23: I WANT MR DANGER
TANYA’S POV The sudden movement in the bed disrupted my sleep, causing me to awake. The first thing I registered was how parched my throat was. I blinked as I stared at Rodrigo's unclad form on the other side of the bed. He was putting on his briefs. Our eyes met, and he almost instantly looked away, like he was trying to avoid my gaze. It left me feeling perplexed. With his briefs on, he grabbed his remaining clothes and walked out of the room without saying a word to me. What just happened? Did he just ignore me after we had such amazing sex last night? After all the things he said to me during sex? My temper flared up, and I peeled off the white blanket covering me. I put on my underwear and then picked a silk nightie from my wardrobe, and then slid my feet into my slippers. This was not normal behaviour, and I wouldn't let him get away with this. I stormed over to his room and tried to barge in, but after twisting the doorknob and pushing, the door proved an immovabl
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 24: A NIGHT OF REGRET
Rodrigo's POV My footsteps echoed in the somewhat empty warehouse as I made my way through the entrances. The inside was dimly lit, and a thick, musty smell wafted into my nostrils. There, he was seated in the middle, tied to his chair. His white shirt was now soaked with crimson, and a bag covered his face. I'm sure by now, my men had beaten the daylights out of him. The only reason he was still alive was because they received the order to have him executed from me. “What do we have here?” My voice rang, making the two men by his side straighten their posture. “He was spying on us,” Anthonio reported, his tone guarded. “Bruno and Rowan found him around the perimeter of the facility,” he explained further. As if on cue, Bruno stepped forward with an old-looking bag clutched within his grip. “We found this on him; it contained a camera and an SD card, plus his ID.” I extended my hand and collected the ID card from Bruno. “Ethan Haworth,” I mouthed, reading aloud the name o
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 25: WELCOME DEATH
TANYA’S POV My eyes were vacant and staring into space as I slid to the ground and cradled my knees. My thoughts raced with theories about the future, and I wondered how long this situation with Rodrigo would last. For how long would I keep pretending to be his wife? What would he do after time had passed and he no longer needed to be married to me? I lifted myself from the ground and headed to my bed and then popped down with a tired sigh. My fingers roamed the nightstand's top until it met with my phone. The glow of my phone screencast itself against my face as I scrolled through. There was a noticeable red-colored pop-up notification, which was an unread message notification. My heart immediately skipped a beat. My fears were confirmed as I read the text message. “You're running out of time, Tanya; keep to your end of the deal.” Those were the words that the text message read. The account that sent it was immediately blocked, and my phone was tossed on the bed. Can'
