THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 45: DEAR WIFEY
Rodrigo's pov This wasn't my room, and it was too girly. The wallpaper was off, and I'd never chosen this bright yellow color for myself. I sat up and immediately regretted it. My head swam, but still, I looked around the room, clenching my fists to take a quick swing at anyone who was about to take a strike at me.As it turned out, there was only the sleeping figure of Tanya beside me. Well, she was sleeping until she opened her eyes, and I realized she was wide awake."Rodrigo," she began.Ignoring the dull ache in my head, I swung my legs off the bed. "What am I doing here?"I didn't recall coming in here at all, so she'd better have a good explanation for that cos I wasn't feeling very patient now."You... you walked in here last night. You were drunk," she said, sitting up too."Damn it," I thought, pausing. I usually kept myself locked up in my room whenever I felt the need to indulge, so why was last night different?I glanced at her, hating that she had seen me drunk. I proba
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 46: SAY YOU WON’T LET GO
TANYA’S POV I watched the smug look spread across Rodrigo's face with a frown. Usually, I wouldn't mind him getting the title he'd always wanted, which got me in this position in the first place. But it was getting more challenging to feel happy about anything he did lately. With his behavior and all, I was starting to hate him. I felt like the morning after he told me about his mother didn't have a good closure, and he didn't even attempt to speak to me after that. Back to our usual routine of only speaking when it was necessary. I was tired of this routine. How could he go back to ignoring me after telling me something so personal? Was he that cold? I watched as he moved away from Fabio to mount the podium. Fabio was an entirely different case. He had a bitter look, and then he glanced at me. I quickly looked away, not wanting him to know I was staring. I couldn't decide how I felt towards him after our last meeting. I always thought he was the more excellent version of
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER 47: BACK TO THE MUD
TANYA’S POVI swiped my lock screen up, contemplating calling my father. When he sent me to that bar, it was not to make some stupid deal with a ruthless man. This marriage to Rodrigo was not a part of the agreement, noI was done with this nonsense.True, I had no choice when I agreed to this fake marriage, but I had a choice now to either leave or stay. And leaving would mean he might set out to look for me and kill me.Hopefully, my father would have a way to hide me until everything dies down.The thought itself was silly. How could my father, who sold me off, be willing to protect me, much less break some protocols to make sure Rodrigo doesn't find me?Just thinking that way was enough to dwindle the little hope I felt. But I pursed my lips, a resolve forming. I always thought I got myself into this mess, but in truth, my father did. If he didn't sell me off, I would be a free woman by now.I'd paid enough for his mistakes now; it was time for him to repay me by getting me out of
THE DON'S DESIRE MEETING THE DEVIL.
TANYA’S POV They say life can fuck you up within the glimpse of an eye. Well they didn’t lie because my Father did.Never did I think I will be standing in front of this ruthless man my Gambler of a Father sold me off to, in a bid to pay off his debts. I could feel his eyes glued on me in the desperate attempt to get under my skin, probably to find out what I was thinking.We were standing inside a club. I was looking at my feet, ignoring the other girls around me. Some of them changing into another wear while some adjusted their make-up.I felt my heart pounding so loudly against my ribcage. My hands were shaking vigorously while I bit on my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down.My Father ruined me. He just jeorpadized every chance of me going back to school again just like back then that I had to drop out because we ran out of money while he continued to show up with betting tickets.I thought his addiction would only last for a while and maybe soon he would lose interest b
THE DON'S DESIRE THE FACE OF DEATH.
TANYA’S POV I knew things were about to go from worse to terrible when he stormed over to me, snatching the file from me. I watched as his eyes ran over them. My breathe hitching to announce the fear that was about to devour me. He raised his eyes to look at me. Being up close, gave me a clearer vision of his looks. He looked dangerously breathtaking. He excited me. You know that feeling when you are scared to hell while watching an horror movie but you can’t stop watching because it excites you.Yes!Something of that sort.“Who asked you to take…” He was saying, his voice harsh, showcasing his anger.He paused to drag in a breathe. His jaw clenching together as he probably thought of the best thing to do to me. Was he going to kill me?It looked like he would.Before I knew it, he pulled out his phone from his pant’s pocket and dialed a number then placed it on his left ear. He was putting on a Blue suit that hung so well to his broad shoulder, doing it little justice.“I found
THE DON'S DESIRE MUST SAY YES.
TANYA’S POV I fluttered my eyelids open for the umpteenth time while a sigh escaped my dry lips. I was bored, so bored that I could see myself losing my sanity because of that. Today marked the third day since I got here. I had thought Mr. Enzo or Father would come looking for me but little did I know that was never going to happen because I was stuck here. I haven’t stepped out of this space since then. Since the night we got here and he coldly ordered his guards to look me in this room, I haven’t laid my eyes on him.Annoying freak!I despised the fact that he was really going to take me prisoner. A part of me had believed the words would make him melt and he would let me walk away alive after a stern warning but I was totally wrong.Huff!Another sigh ran pass my lips.Being in an enclosed space for too long was start to make me dizzy. My lungs desperately demanded some fresh air, inhaling deeply, I got on my legs and walked towards the window. My hands aimed at pushing it open
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER FOUR: THE WEB OF LIES
Rodrigo's POVIt had been two days since Father called me, claiming he wanted to see me. At first, I tried to ignore his wish and devise an excuse, but I believed it was the best to do all I could till the older man gave me my right. It was a long drive back to his mansion, which held many bittersweet memories. My car tires crushed the stones beneath them as I stopped before the house.The second I stepped out of the car, a chilling gust of wind gave me a welcome. I let out a sigh.Today was the D-day. The day I had awaited for so long. The day that Father would make me the capo, the head of the Mafia world—a position I have had to work my way up to.With a sigh, I made my way in. Lucas, one of my father's trusted men, crossed paths with me by the landing of the stairs. Our eyes met. “Back home, I see,” his voice dragged as he looked at me with a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Father wanted to see me,” I responded and watched him nod softly. “Makes sense that Augusto would want t
THE DON'S DESIRE CHAPTER FIVE: JUST ANOTHER FIGUREHEAD
RODRIGO’S POVToday was the day of the wedding. After making her sign the wedding certificate at gunpoint, we still had to put up a show, and he had to believe that I actually loved the woman I was marrying. I adjusted my navy blue blazer, and it was fitted. After styling my hair, I spun around and made my way to her room. There she was, seated before a mirror as the makeup artist did the finishing touches on her face. Her jaw was clenched, and she had on a slight frown, proof that she didn't want to be here. Worse more, doing this with me, but I gave little fuck about it.With one last dap of brown powder, she was good to go. The makeup artist made eye contact with me before lowering her gaze and hastily making her exit, rightfully terrified of me.Maybe under a different circumstance, I would’ve appreciated her dress and the way it complimented her curves.But I couldn’t, not today. I eyed her reflection, and her gaze met mine, but she didn't dare to look back. Fear!It was all
