Don Pedro’s POV

I felt the sweet ocean breeze tugging gently at my sleeves as I took a long drag from my blunt this cold Sunday morning. It felt so refreshing.

The rhythmic sound of the waves splashing calmed my racking nerves, but my mind was miles away, deep in thought.

Franco had informed me about business back home —one of our foremost plantations was experiencing a new rise of competitors—and it surprised me how all these happened in just how many weeks of being away.

Franco stood beside me, his posture relaxed yet alert, his eyes scanning the horizon ahead. It was something I admired about Franco - His alertness.

He was always alert and on the go!

On the move whenever I said so.

On very few occasions we shared a blunt together, I had to admit he was becoming more of a brother to me each passing day and I felt I could tell him anything. I did tell him everything.

You see, this life we live can't go without at least trusting someone, even though I preach, trust nobody.

    AUTHOR’S POVDon Pedro and Franco were still deep in conversation on the balcony of the beach house, they had been there for about an hour or more.They were laughing heartily and puffing smoke when trouble came knocking.Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a guard’s heavy footsteps. The guard rushed toward them, breathless and wide-eyed. “Sir! Sir, you need to come quickly—there’s trouble in the back!”Pedro’s eyes flashed, and he straightened instantly, throwing his blunt away. “What sort of trouble?” he barked, turning to Franco.The guard, panting, reported, “Tessa… Miss Tessa has jumped into the water at the back of the house. She’s… she’s drowning!”The world seemed to speed up for Pedro. His heart pounded with sudden alarm as he exchanged a startled look with Franco. “What?” Pedro shouted, his voice roared with disbelief. “Bring me to her —now!”Within moments, Pedro and a few of his men sprang into action. Pedro rushed toward the back of the house,

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Saved By The Devil: Daddy’s Big Fat Dick

    Tessa’s POVI could hear Pedro’s voice from a distance, amid this surrounding of rumbling waters, I could barely make out his words over the wind and the violent waves. The water was cold, and each wave threatened to pull me under, but I welcomed it.And as much as I welcomed it, I unconsciously fought desperately against the current, my arms swinging wildly, but despair had settled in, and a part of me—broken, exhausted—whispered that it might just be better to let go.From the shore, I saw Pedro and the guards sprinting toward me. Their faces were gruff, I prayed the water currents swept them in different directions, and there was urgency in their bodily expressions. I could hear Pedro’s voice now, clear and desperate.“Tessa, please!”I struggled to keep my head above water, the salt stinging my eyes. The water was rough and harsh, and the exhaustion I was feeling was overwhelming. I would not lie a part of me wanted to shout, to beg them to save me. But I couldn't help the da

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Tear Me Apart Daddy!

    It was merely just the sounds of slapping flesh, grinding and clashing teeth’s that filled the living room and to Tessa’s disappointment, Don Pedro was actually making out with the woman she detested.She was still by the bedroom door, peeping, as Natalie and Pedro stood barely inches apart. The bouquet of flowers Natalie had brought for Tessa, sprawled lifeless on the floor, their vibrant colors and delicate fragrance complimented the deceit behind Natalia’s visit. Natalie’s legs crushed the petals absentmindedly, her eyes locked on Pedro’s, her lips parted in a way that was both innocent and salaciously inviting. Begging to be kissed, fucked.There was hunger in her eyes and she didn’t care. Not for a second, that Tessa may walk in any moment.All she wanted was a piece of Don pedro’s DNA inside her.Pedro’s eyes burned with desire, his jaw contracting as he took a step closer to her, savoring her feminine scent, his broad shoulders towering over her, filling her vision as she

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Even If I could

    The evening was fast setting in, and the lights in the bedroom looked like they were dying out but that's just how they were faint. I was trying so desperately to pretend I was asleep. Visual images of Pedro fucking the hell out of Natalia repeatedly flashed through my mind, a mental torture I did not subscribe for. Their soft whispers of pleasurable bliss and muffled moans echoed in my head. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping that if I stayed still, I could escape those memories. Moreover, I wasn’t ready for another confrontation with one who must not be named. Then, I heard it: a distinct thump of a door slamming shut. My heart skipped a beat. I recognised that sound immediately— Natalie had probably left . A cold sensation slithered through me as I strained to hear further noises. I was back to being alone with that fool. He didn't even let me heal from the damage he had cost me before fucking another woman! How could he so easily fuck Natalie like that, while I was left to

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Shattered Beyond Repair

    Tessa’s POV So I went to the bathroom to pee and shower. I felt like I could use a cold shower to calm my uneven nerves. The plan was to take my meds that night and just wish the night away in beautiful sleep till it was morning and it was dawn - so we would be on our way to Monterrey. I did not want to spend another night in this godforsaken beach house. The whole house smelt of Natalia and when the cleaner came to clean the mess in the house, I strictly told her to mind the glass and choke the air with her finest air fresheners, or anything to kill the smell of that dick hungry bitch. I mindlessly sat back down on the edge of the bed, it was then I noticed a gift box staring ever so calmly at me. How did it get in here? I didn’t hear the delivery bell ring! It must have been Pedro, what other stupid nonsense has he prepared this time around? I stared at the neatly wrapped gift box on the dresser, its golden ribbon still perfectly tied. Trashing it was the first thing tha

    Tessa’s POV The room was silent except for the faint buzz of the air conditioning. It was the only thing that seemed to regulate the temperature in here.I could still hear Pedro’s footsteps echoing down the hallway, growing distant, I even assumed he was out of the house or somewhere around the door.Good. Let him leave. Let him go and put on his perfect act for the world while I stayed here, solitude was the next best thing after peace of mind.Minutes passed, maybe longer, and then—The door swung open again.I barely had time to react before Pedro stepped back inside, the frustration evident in his face.I sighed. “I thought you left.”He ignored that.“You really don’t want to come?” His voice was calmer now, but there was an edge to it. “This is the biggest night of the trip, Tessa. Everyone will be there.”“I was very clear when I don’t care,” I replied simply.His nostrils flared slightly. “You don’t care that people will talk?”“They already do.” I met his stare evenly. “An

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   A Man Like Pedro

    AUTHOR’S POV Tessa sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as she counted in her head, how much time she had so she could go check on Regina. The silence in her room was too loud. The shadows cast by the bedside lamp stretched across the walls like silent watchers, the shadow reflection of other objects the room looked like they were whispering loudly, echoing the weight in her chest. Her mind kept replaying George’s words from earlier at the supermarket, and every time, they struck a nerve she’d tried so hard to numb. Her ringed finger throbbed with guilt. The blood diamond sparkled none the less. For a second she wondered who she was, questioned who she had become over the last few months that seemed to drag on forever. She used to be fierce and quick minded, how did she become so soggy? Could it be Aunt Norah’s absence? She thought. So what would become of me if she was actually no more? Become any mans puppet? Talk more of a man like pedro? Her pho

    AUTHORS POVThe atmosphere inside Regina's room changed from the moment Dame Rossa stepped inside; it was almost suffocating. And for seconds that slipped into minutes, Regina tried all she could to hold herself together. The ancient of days clock ticked away loudly in the background; for Regina, it was a painful reminder that time was slipping through her fingers and she needed to tell Pablo her truth.Dame Rossa sat beside Regina, her eyes darted around the room, softened with concern."My dear," she said, reaching out to pat Regina’s hand gently, "Pablo told me you have not been taking his calls."Regina blinked, feeling a strange chill wash over her. Had she?It struck her then — the last few days and hours had been a haze. The pain, the shame, and the constant battle with herself had consumed her so much that she hadn’t noticed the persistent beeping of her phone. She had unknowingly, absentmindedly ignored him."I'm so sorry," Regina whispered, looking down at her lap, ashamed.

    AUTHORS POVTessa walked briskly through the long corridor; she didn't even wait for Pedro despite the fact that he had told her to wait. She just wanted to get to Regina as fast as she could. Her heart felt heavy in her chest as she approached Regina’s room, like a gloomy pendant hung over her neck. She paused for a brief moment at the door, took a deep breath, then quietly turned the knob and stepped inside.The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn shut. Regina was curled up in one corner of her bed, her small frame almost swallowed by the large, plush duvet. She looked so fragile, so unlike her usual lively self, that Tessa’s heart clenched painfully. The evil men do to women, she said in her mind.Tessa closed the door softly behind her and approached the bed. “Regina…” she called gently, sitting at the edge of the mattress. “Have you eaten anything today? Or at least had some vegetables? You need to keep yourself nourished, for your sake and the baby’s.”Regina stirred, her fac

She was glad to have made it back it time just as the rain began to fall in small drops. Her mind was still reeling from the conversation with George, but she forced herself to stay composed. She had barely stepped onto the steps of the office building when she spotted Pedro standing just outside the glass doors, deep in conversation with three well-dressed men. Her jaws dropped. They were all laughing, their expensive suits seemed unruffled under the soft evening breeze the rain brought with its fall. Tessa paused for a heartbeat, considering slipping around the side entrance to avoid them. But Pedro’s sharp eyes had already caught her. “Ah, here she is,” Pedro said with a proud smile, beckoning her over. Tessa swallowed her nerves and walked towards them, she hated the noise her heels made against the floor while she walked. As she got closer, she caught snipp

She pressed the phone closer to her ear, standing up from her chair.“I’m so sorry, Regina,” she said gently. “I wasn’t near my phone.

    AUTHORS POV Regina sat on the edge of her bed, her fingers twisted tightly in her lap. The late afternoon light streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow over her room, but she felt none of its warmth as nervousness and anxiety painfully seeped through her. Her heart pounded heavily against her ribs. She had rehearsed this conversation a hundred times in her head, but now that Franco was standing in front of her, smirking lazily as if he already knew what she was about to say, the words tangled on her tongue. She took a deep breath and forced herself to meet his eyes. “You have been silent since you called me here, it leaves me wondering what’s going on in your mind” he said dryly, running his fingers through his hair. “I’m pregnant,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. For a moment, Franco said nothing. His face held no facial expressions, and Regina clung to a shred of hope that he might reach for her, smile, tell her it would all be alright. Instead,

    AUTHORS POV The return to the office after lunch was a slow, dragging affair. The sun beat down on the building, the air was sticky, and the workers moved with a sluggishness that mirrored Tessa’s heavy steps as they made a beeline for their respective duty post. Shortly after Jamie leaves for his desk, Tessa and Camila had barely settled at their desks when a sharp knock sounded on the glass door of their section. It was Andrew, one of Don Pedro’s personal messengers, standing stiffly with a small notepad in his hand. “Camila,” he said, his voice very formal. “The boss wants to see you. Right away.” Camila, who was just booting up her computer, slightly frowned and looked at Tessa. Tessa’s heart skipped oddly. “Why?” Tessa asked before she could stop herself. Andrew shrugged. “No idea. He just said to bring her.” Camila gave Tessa a reassuring little smile, smoothed her blouse, and stood up. “It’s probably work-related,” she muttered. “No big deal.” But Tessa’s stomach twist

    AUTHORS POVThe café was buzzing that warm Thursday afternoon, if not for anything but for the fact that Tessa loved the positive atmosphere the environment afforded her; she didn't want to go back to the office or back to the Lorenzo mansion. The clatter of cutlery and soft murmur of voice chatters weaving into a comforting background noise were the only things that reminded her that she wasn't in her comfort zone. Tessa sat at the table by the window with Camila and Jamie, a half-eaten sandwich limp in her hand. The sun outside painted the streets golden, but inside her head, it was cloudy and grey.Jamie leaned across the table, flashing his boyish grin. "Thanks again for the food the other night, Tessa. That food was something else. You didn’t have to, but I'm grateful."Tessa stared through him as if he wasn’t there, her gaze locked somewhere beyond the walls of the café. She didn't blink, didn’t smile, didn’t even twitch.Jamie frowned slightly, exchanging a quick look with Cami

    AUTHORS POV The house was unusually quiet when Tessa returned from the shopping mall. She was tempted to kick off her shoes by the door, except for the fact that she was not in the comfort of the room she shared with Pedro. She sighed as the scent of grilled meat and garlic hit her nose, straying from the dining. Her body ached, and all she really wanted was a hot bath and to be left alone. But the silence in the air felt heavy—like something was waiting. She walked into the dining area and found Don Pedro seated at the head of the long glass table. The only sound in the room came from the clinking of his fork against the china plate. The light above him made his presence look even more imposing than usual. He looked up at her, chewing slowly, watching her. “You’re late,” he said flatly, setting his cutlery down. “Join me for dinner.” Tessa forced a polite smile. “I’m not hungry. It’s been a long day. I’d rather go upstairs and rest.” Pedro’s jaw twitched as though he wanted to s
