You Can Run But... Death's Bride (2)
"Smile a little, Madame, you see as you walk to your funeral," Lina said, wholly frustrated with Maya, who refused to smile after her makeup was done, staring straight at the mirror and ignoring the beauty she reflected. All she could see was him, inhaling him wherever she went, his aura enveloping her like nature's air. It had been three days since she was dragged back to the manor—three days of preparations and constant questions, most of which she didn't answer, leaving the planners perplexed about how to carry out Don's order of "Whatever Donna says." Three days of him staying out and she staying in, barely eating anything and staring out the window into space, her thoughts racing like a freight train. Good thing he was never around these days, even when Maria had come over-excited at the prospect of a wedding with the news that Gretta and Derinem had sent their apologies for not being able to come. Was she relieved? Yes, she was; it was a lot of solaces. She couldn't imagine
You Can Run But... Donna
NOTE; THIS CHAPTER HAS TRIGGERS. *********MAYA'S POVHe wrapped his fingers around my throat, tilting my head back against his chest, his other fingers tracing my breast down to my abdomen."Everyone has a dark side," he whispers, "and you are mine, do you know?" The pressure tightened around my neck, making me gasp and swallow, my breaths getting shallow. "You're the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last when I close my eyes.""Let me go," I cried, afraid of his whispers; it was getting furious and psychotic. "Please let me go.""Can't you see?!" He held the nape of my neck, turning me around to face him, "Can't you see it's fucking all about you?"The anger that welled up in his eyes had all my sounds stuck in my throat; he was a demon, that's it: a psychopath and everything in between. And I had been forcefully drawn to his world."Now," he hovered above me, "do you want it easy or hard? I'm all up for it, Maya. I'm all up for you."Nothing about him was going to be e

Authors POV She shook her head slowly, bringing her hair back to her face again. She pushed them away, her sobs resuming furiously, "I didn't do it, Anna did, and I was forced to agree to it because... " He had his hands on her shoulders, and she gasped, "Anna? Your sister," She nodded in desperation, searching his eyes so he would believe her. Her petite frame was under his glare. Before he turned, she thought she saw guilt on his face. Looking up at his stiff back and down to his clenched fist, she could see he was fighting the urge to believe her. "You were there; she wasn't; you saw it; she didn't; quit the lies, Maya. It's fruitless." She inhaled, staring at his back; it surprised her the hurt she heard in his voice; he just found out she was innocent, and he was guilty of everything he did to her; did he hurt too? But why not admit it? "I couldn't forget about it. It stuck in my head, and all I wanted to do was turn it off, so I wrote it down in my journal." "Why did yo

It was two days later, and she was alone in Maestro's room. Since the wedding night, he never slept in the room; he only came in to get his clothes and left again.It wasn't all that comfortable; it seemed weird when he dodged her eyes, guilt welling inside those grey, tired orbs.She also noticed that there was blood on most of the clothes he had changed from, and when they were together on the dining table, his fist was bruised, bluish, and looked painful.Quiet was the term, and it suddenly felt slightly over the edge.Her body had begun to calm from the assault of that night, and all she did now was keep Maria company, and when she wasn't doing that, she was signing ownership papers.Revenge couldn't get any sweeter than this.Lina flowed into the room, her face looking brighter than usual. She knew the source; she had finally forgiven Luca, and these days she was always on the phone, so Maya found herself pitying Derinem."Donna" Maya blinked at her reluctance to tell what was go

"It's seven, madam!" Lina scolded the girl before her, all dressed up in a skimpy black gown that barely covered her thighs, jewelry glittering on her ears and hands, and makeup so heavy that Lina wondered if she could even move her face. "Come on, Lina, don't be such a killjoy." Maria pouted, "All you have to do is cover up for me till I'm back." She went behind Lina, who was arranging cups on the rack after cleaning them with a towel."There are high chances he won't even ask." She shrugged, saying, "All I ask is for you to tell him I'm in my room till I'm back."Lina turned to face her, her hands akimbo. "Where to, madam?"Maria avoided her eyes. "Well, I won't be long; that's all you should know."Grabbing her bag from the counter, she began to walk out of the kitchen but stopped when Lina called after her, "When you be back?""Two," she called back, fleeing from sight.She was tired, tired of the tightness of the manor; everyone had their emotions pent up, including Damon; he nev
You Can Run But... Stranded
It was quiet, and she was frightened and numb at the same time; the weed had taken its toll on her. She wondered what was in the wrapped paper.Then she heard the voices just outside. "You've got to pay for the drugs, man. It took a lot of work to get her here. "That was Marco's voice.There was a grunt, which she couldn't tell from that said, "I agree, she'll be a good fuck, but I disagree she is worth that amount."Her heart tightened. Was Marco selling her? To be a sex slave? He made her unconscious so he could do whatever he wanted with her.Damn him. Damn her!She carefully stood up, her eyes taking in everything as her heart thudded. She needed to get out there. Or, better still, defend herself.Her eyes fell on the gun at her side of the bed, and she swallowed. She was going to do it again! Kill somebody again. Go through another trauma again. She held her hand, tears threatening.Marco was saying, "La riporter indietro allora." —I'll take her back then—"Calm down, dude. Take
You Can Run But... Cold
Maya's POV Lina and I stood staring at each other's faces as I pressed the phone to my ears, unsure what to make of Maria's voice. She sobbed so much that it was hard to hear what she said over the phone.I steadied my shaking hand against my jeans."Maria, Maria, you have to calm down," even though I, too, wasn't calm one bit, "where are you at so I can send someone to get you?""NO!" she interjected immediately over the phone. Hearing her pure fear, I had to wince, "Not Damon or anybody. If you can send George,"I looked at Lina, and she shook her head, "George's not home since he went."My fear intensified. "Maria, we have no choice; we must send one of Damon's men to get you. We have to."I could feel her shake her head even from the phone, her desperation to be home waning: "No, Maya, I'd rather walk all the way home than for Damon to find out about this."There was only one decision left, and I sighed in defeat, praying it didn't end up in disaster like most of my choices."Wher
