Elena sighed and stared out of the window as she was locked in a room which looked expensive.She never thought that after getting kidnapped she would be in a luxurious room like this, but she cared less about it.She just wanted to meet their cabo and her kidnapper.She was getting angry at the thought of it.She clenched, her fist ready to punch her kidnaper who wasn't even present there.Its been one hour and still her kidnaper didn't let her known about his existence.
Lorenzo blind folded her on the way and then locked her in a room.Since then she was sitting there being frustrated and angry.As god just listened to her prayer and the door opened catching her attention at whoever it was.Elena frowned a little when she witnessed her kidnapper.Who was none other than Vincenzo Romano himself.He smirked at her and walk to where she was standing now while she was throwing daggers at him with her ocean blue eyes which was amusing him."I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Elena." He said, being amused.Elena scoffed at his words in disbelief.Thinking this man had the guts to say that."And do you think I expected you to kidnap me out of nowhere, Mr.Romano?" Elena said while crossing her arms across her chest with a challenging gaze. "So arrogant, sweetheart."Vincenzo said while rubbing his temples with his gun which he was holding the whole time."Now what do you want from me?Why did you bring me here?Give me a goddamned reason."His face turned serious after hearing her words."I have my own reasons, sweetheart."He placed his gun on the side table and cracked his neck, making a crepitus sound. "I don't know what your problem is, but would you mind telling me the damned reason?"Elena asked, being annoyed.He turned towards her and smirked but soon a little gasp slipped through her mouth when he suddenly pinned her against the wall, making her shocked. "Don't you think you're using your pretty little mouth too much, Elena Martin?"Vincenzo stated in a serious tone. Both his palms were placed beside her head while he slowly pushed his body against her, closing the distance between them.Elena narrowed her eyebrows when she heard her full name from him.She was about to open her, but quickly shut it when he closed the remaining distance between them.She felt his warm heat against her body which was now making her breathlesss."I don't like this attitude of yours.Do you even know whom your talking to right now?"His hot breathing was fanning her face, making her nervous.His intimidating gaze was fixed on her which was making her heart to beat rapidly against her chest while her eyes were locked with his.As she managed to speak. "I-I don't know who you are.Get away from me." Elena mentally slapped herself for sluttering in front of him.She placed her hands on his muscular chest in an attempt to push him, as they were dangerously, closed to each other.His whole body was pressed against her.The temperature in the room was increasing because of their sexual tension.They were so closed to each other that their hot breathing were mixing with each other sending heat to both of their body but he didn't even move an inch."Do you think you can push me away with these pretty little soft hands of yours?" He smirked while she gulped."Just...let me go." She tried to avoid his eyes. "What if I don't wanna let go of you?" A shiver ran through her spine when she heard him say that.He grabbed her chin, making her look him in the eyes.Vincenzo didn't know what was happening to him.Those tense, trembling lips, weak pushes and her sweet scent were making him go crazy.Everyone shivers in fear whenever they were standing infront of him but she wasn't scared at all which made him attracted towards her even more.His beast inside was screaming at him to fuck her until he rip her apart and get over the attraction."You are crossing your limits, don't you think, Mr.Romano?"He only chuckled at her. "Those harsh words of yours just turned me on, sweetheart.Trust me babygirl, you're lucky enough that I haven't fucked you yet since I had to deal with your father."She looked away, feeling her cheeks heating up at his dangerous threat.She was thinking about why he was doing all of this and what business he had with her stepfather?What' with this man?"I don't have a father now. Get away from me!" Elena harshly pushed him away with all her strength this time while he stared at her, being confused at her father's denial.She was about to go towards the door but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, making her bump against his broad chest."You are really something else, huh?Where do you think you're going?And what do you mean by that you don't have a father?Who's James Martin then?" He asked but she only struggled to get away from him.She was trying to free herself but his grip only tightened every time she tried.It was useless.She let out a sigh and looked at him frustrated."Mr.James Martin is not my father. I hate him, that's all."Vincenzo frowned his eyebrows together.He was about to say something but suddenly a knock interrupted them.He loosened his grip on her and she quickly moved away from him, making him raise his one eyebrow.A guard entered the room when Vincenzo granted him permission."Capo we brought him.He's already in the basement."A small smirk appeared on Vincenzo's lips.He left the room while Elena sighed frustratingly, thinking only god knows what he really wants from her.She didn't know that helping a mafia would lead to something like this, but only if she knew.She looked around the room, examining it and thinking if she could get out of it bu then her gaze shifted to where a camera was located on the corner of the room.She scrunched her eyebrows thinking that they were recorded.Elena's POV'I walked into an empty corridor after having enough of dinner with those psychotic mafias. I sighed in relief, away from the chaos. I literally facepalmed myself after leaving from there.The corridor stretched ahead, its narrow passage swallowing the faint light from the flickering overhead bulb. The walls, once white, were now a sickly shade of gray, marred by the creeping stains of age and neglect.Each step I took seemed to echo unnervingly, amplifying the silence that clung to the air like a thick fog. My breath quickened as my heels clicked against the cold, cracked tiles—currently my only companion in this hollow, forgotten space.My heart began to pound in my chest, a frantic beat that threatened to drown out the silence, but the space was too oppressive. It clung to me, suffocating, as though the walls themselves were watching, listening, waiting.At the far end of the hallway, a door stood ajar, the dark void beyond it a black eye in the heart of the building. A
"I do."Luna declared and the moment she declared, a loud sound of glass shattering into pieces could be heard in the entire room, catching everyone's attention.Everyone gasped at the source of the voice, including Luna, and that's when her eyes met Levi's bloodshot ones. She instantly looked away, witnessing the raging anger evident in his eyes.Lorenzo went up to Levi immediately and noticed the blood oozing out of Levi's hand."What the actual fuck, Levi?"Vincenzo drawled while Elena quickly covered her mouth up on noticing the blood out of his hand."His hand needs treatment."Elena was about to get up, but Vincenzo quickly grabbed her wrist, making her hiss."Sit the fuck down."He commanded through his gritted teeth."I'm sure he can deal with his own mess.""But--"Vincenzo's one deadly glare was enough to make her mouth shut. As a doctor, she couldn't witness someone bleeding in front of her, even if it was an enemy. Levi's father didn't even come forward, nor the king. It w
"Watch your tongue, Stefano, or it will take me a second to rip it out of your mouth."Vincenzo snapped, which caused Stefano to swallow hard on his saliva because he knew that he could and nobody would question him. Elena glanced at Vincenzo and shivered visibly at how he reacted when someone called her an outsider." Stefano is right. Luca, you need a marriage alliance to gain our trust. Otherwise, it wasn't needed after witnessing your capabilities."Luca nodded his head but what he felt inside was another thing which only he knew.Stefano, on the other hand, smiled in utter victory before saying."The girl should be from our community, isn't it?"Devis nodded his head before saying."Seraphina is perfect for it. What do you sa----""No she's not."Lorenzo growled out of nowhere, catching everyone's attention, including Seraphina's who was sitting with her froster mother.Everyone was too stern to speak because no one in years had dared to interrupt the king except today. Devis gav
A huge royal dining room, sophisticated and opulent, unfolds like a scene from a regal dream.The space is vast—cathedral-like in scale—with a soaring, coffered ceiling adorned in gold leaf and hand-painted frescoes of mythological scenes. Massive crystal chandeliers, their facets shimmering like stars, hang in perfect symmetry down the length of the room, casting a soft, golden glow over everything.The dining table stretches endlessly, carved from rare dark mahogany and polished to a mirror sheen. It’s set with fine bone china rimmed in 24-karat gold, gleaming silverware, and crystal goblets that catch the light like diamonds. Velvet-upholstered chairs with gilded frames line the table, each one an ornate throne in its own right.Tall arched windows, draped in deep burgundy and gold brocade, let in daylight filtered through sheer silk curtains. Along the walls, marble columns rise between massive oil paintings of ancestors and historic moments, framed in intricate gold.A grand fire
Author's POV'"If you want, I can take you away from this pain where you won't be sad anymore."A firm, yet familiar voice interrupted Elena from behind, making her turn around to look at the person. Her eyes widened slightly after watching him lean against the garden wall while staring at her with a hooded gaze."Levi..... What are you doing here?"Elena asked calmly, covering her shock."Just watching my loved ones in pain."He stated just like that while holding eye contact with her. Elena's eyes widened before looking away. She doesn't know if his words are as genuine as him. Damn, she suspects his every word. She's not the high school who would feel flattered by her crush saying stuff like this.If anything, then she respects her boundaries."That's not the answer to----""I know, but this is Stefano's birthday party, so isn't it obvious that I would be here?"Of course, he would be present as a member of the mafia. Elena thought. Levi's presence was as important as Vincenzo's in
My eyes fell on the girl who looked innocent and young. She looks like she is in her late teens. She kept looking around and then at the cell phone in her hand. I could feel the eyes on me. Which were none other than his guards.Unconciously I approched her. She's beautiful and has a soft beauty which suits her perfectly. Her hair, long and soft as river silk, fell to the middle of her back in gentle waves, catching the light like dusk on water.It framed her face in the most effortless way, as if even the wind had learned to be gentle around her. Her features were delicate—cheekbones like petals, a nose barely a breath, and lips the shade of early blush roses. She looks perfect in all angles.There was something in her eyes, too—not just the color, which was some impossible hue between honey and storm—but the way they held stories, even when she wasn’t speaking. You’d look at her and feel that she had seen the world with a kind of softness that refused to harden, no matter what it ha
