(Damian POV)

What a good day to kill someone, I thought as I sipped my black coffee while looking out the beautiful view from my penthouse. “This view never gets old” I said while enjoying the little peace I get every day but of course, it never last long… “Good morning boss” mehn I wish I can kill this guy already. “What do you want Arnold?” I said while eye brows raised and eyes filled with rage. “S... sorry sir but your brother is at the lobby waiting for you” he said with trembling voice, sigh… “Fine, I’ll be down in 15, now leave me alone” “yes sir” he said with hurried feet. I got downstairs after an hour; yes I know I said after 15 but fuck it, I can do whatever I want. “This better be important David” “quit your whining big brother, I just came to check to see if you were still alive” he said

“Hahaha very funny, you have seen me, now you can go”

“Cool down bro, what’s the rush anyways, we got the address of Mr. James, the one that owes money from the casino in Boston”

“Now you are giving news that I will love to hear, I knew I was going to kill someone today” I said with a grin. This is going to be fun. “Book me the next flight to Boston Arnold” “yes sir” he said.

Where are my manners, my name is Damian Blackwood, first born of 3; A brother and a cute little sister, I swear she has us wrapped around her cute little finger. We lived with our grandparents after our parents were brutally murdered by one of our rivals, it was tough growing up without them, grand pa was hard on me and David but he always cherished Katie, my sister. My grand ma was the sweetest and still is, she loved us all equally.

I was 15 years old when our parents died and as the first born I had to be the one to step up and rule my father’s businesses, even the ones underground that I didn’t know were there. No wonder dad was a knuckle head. For 12 years I have been the mafia boss and boy was I feared. I became heartless, emotionless and grew a liking for see the blood of my enemies, and anyone who dears cross my path, roll down their body as I slice them bit by bit while being hanged. I know it’s sick but that’s your freaking business, get a better hobby then.

(End of back story)

Few minutes later, I was on the plane heading to Boston. My brother filled me in on what Mr. James have being up to for the last 5 years. He remarried after his wife died from a car accident to a very beautiful, much younger woman and he has a step daughter, wow… she is one beautiful soul. Her forest green eyes can make a man get lost just looking at it and with her slender yet curvy petite body, her skin looks like it was made from a body factory, smooth, flawless caramel skin. Oh... what I will do with this body I thought.

“Uhh… bro you alright there?” he said with a slight grin on his face, eyes looking like they are about to cry from holding a laughter and the while looking down at my pants, oh great, now I’m hard. “Piss off David, it’s not of your business” I said with an eye roll “oops, my bad bro” he said with his hands up but still had that stupid grin that I wanted to wipe out so bad. “You’re lucky you are my brother, you wouldn’t have breath anymore by now” I said with knitted brows.

After what felt like forever, we got to Boston and my men were there waiting for me to take me to my office. “Do we know his whereabouts right now?” I asked looking at one of my men sitting in front. “Yes boss we do, he is currently with his wife and daughter having brunch at Starbucks”

“Perfect, what a pleasant way to meet my bride” I said with a glint of evil circling in my eye. David looked at me with a raised brow “bride? What are you up to Damian?”

“Oh, you’ll see” I cannot wait to get my hands on you Elena, I thought as we got closer to my office.

    By evening, Damian announced we would attend another event. “Another gala?” I groaned.“No,” he said, adjusting his cufflinks, “a private dinner. Investors.”“Do I have a choice?” is that even supposed to be a question Elena?He looked at me like the question amused him. “No.”He dressed me himself — NOT touching me, but choosing the dress, the shoes, and the necklace.A man who didn’t need to touch to control. Now that is definitely sexy.At the dinner, everything was stiff and cold, nobody said a word, it was if everyone was being on high alert and careful, but… careful of what? I was in my own bubble until an older man approached me, too close. Umm… doesn’t this guy know anything about personal space?“Beautiful bride,” he slurred, “your husband is a lucky man.” Phew, breath mint maybe.Before I could step back, Damian was already there.His hand slid around my waist, possessive. “Touch her again, and I’ll remove the hand you used.”The man backed away instantly.“Damian—” I whi

    I tried leaving the mansion by noon.I made it as far as the front door before Christopher blocked me. Shit, I’ve been caught.“Orders, ma’am.”“From who?” I demanded.He looked at me flatly. “My boss. Your husband.”The word husband felt like a slap.Damian showed up minutes later, eyes cold, aura sharp. Holy shit, when did he get here, do they have this physic connection.“Elena, I told you: you don’t go anywhere without protection.” He said“I’m not a child!”“No,” he said softly, “you’re worse. You’re a target.”I froze. A target? Target for what?He stepped closer, his voice dropping dangerously, “last night wasn’t random. Those men weren’t simply drunk. They were testing my boundaries.”“Boundaries?”“Touch you… and see what I’d do.” I am not going to lie, that was kind of hot, snap out of it Elena, we are supposed to be pissed.His eyes darkened.“And I did exactly what they wanted to see.”“What does that mean?” I whispered.“It means this isn’t about you being my bride, Elena

    (Elena POV)It felt like a prison sentence.I woke up in Damian’s mansion — silk sheets, cold marble floors, and silence thick enough to suffocate me. For a split second I had forgotten where I was but then I remembered, I am still in this prison marriage. How did my life get to this? I thought as I just laid down on the bed not having the strength in me to start the day.A maid knocked softly. “Mr. Blackwood requests your presence for breakfast.” I guess that didn’t last for long.Requests.As if I had a choice.I walked downstairs as slow as possible to find Damian seated, immaculate in a black shirt, reading documents on only Gods knows what, I still don’t even know what he does, all I’ve heard are rumors.His eyes lifted. “Sit.”I hated that my legs obeyed.Breakfast was like a grave yard, sounds of plate and silverwares clicking together, until he broke the slience.“You will not wander alone. You will not talk to strangers at events. You will inform Christopher if you leave yo

    (Elena POV)I stared out the window of Damian’s penthouse—the city glittered like a thousand promises that I couldn’t touch.Months had passed since the engagement announcement. The internet called me “The Luckiest Bride in the World.” But luck didn’t feel like a locked door and twenty-four-hour security especially after what happened on the night of our dinner date.At 8pm, Damian was outside of the penthouse building waiting for me and I came down when I was informed by Christopher. We got to this really fancy restaurant and it took everything in my power not to look like a maniac staring at the place with so much awe and I mean how could I when all eyes were on us as we walked in, all I could think of was for the heavens to open and just take me but then Damian had his hands wrapped tightly around my waist, ensuring that I don’t fall, I guess he caught how I was feeling. While the dinner was going smoothly, there was an explosion, a lot of people lost their lives and I was scared t

    The night should have ended after the gala, but Damian stayed in his study, phone pressed to his ear. I lingered outside the half-open door, curiosity outweighing caution.“…she’s safer with me,” Damian was saying, his voice clipped. “They won’t dare touch her if she carries my name.”A pause. A lower tone. “Yes. I know they’ll try. Let them.”My blood chilled. Who was he talking about? Who was they?When the call ended, I slipped away, heart hammering. Damian found me minutes later in the hallway. His gaze narrowed. “Eavesdropping?”“I—I wasn’t,” I stammered, backing away. Shit, I was caught.But he caught my chin, tilting my face up to his. “If you want answers, Elena, ask me directly. But be prepared to hear truths you won’t like.”My breath Halted. “What are you hiding?”His lips curved into a shadow of a smile. “You’ll find out soon enough. Just stay close to me.”And for the first time, I realized: Damian wasn’t just my captor. He was a man at war—and somehow, I was the weapon k
