Alfonso glared at the red-haired beauty that wore next to nothing. She was seductively dancing with a man, who had his hands all over her. He wondered how she got into such an exclusive club. No doubt another wealthy man had fallen into her trap. The girl was a tease. For two months straight, she had been extorting thousands of dollars from him. He hadn’t even touched her because she lied that she was a virgin and wanted to wait. Somewhere deep down he had been prepared to settle with her. Right then, he wondered how someone so hot and sexy could be a virgin. He was blinde

Throes of Love.Chanel gulped in a lot of air as she woke up. She was coughing. She realized she was not in her house. She was not home. This place was familiar to her like she had been here before.The door opened slowly. That was when she saw Alfonso holding a glass of water. That was it! She remembered everything that had happened. How she was almost raped, how he forced her into his sports car, th

Throes of Love.Chanel looked at herself in the mirror. She didn’t know how long she had been staring. When did she turn into this? She had never been one to let people force her into something she didn’t want to do. She didn’t always feel sorry for herself, but that was the case now. She knew she was stuck. There was nothing she could until he got over his stupid need to have her.Her body ached all over. She felt like sleeping and she wanted to wake up and all this would be a nightmare. She should have seen the signs when she was dating him at that time. He had been so sweet to her.Chanel had feelings for him and it was hard when she had to let go but he was clouding her heart. She had almost confessed all her problems to him. Now she felt nothing but regret and hate. She should have walked away from him the minute she saw him.That stupid Mr. Manuel! She would have never guessed he was married. She didn’t know why Alfonso thought she was involved with him. What hurt her most was he

Throes of Love.Alfonso looked at her form on the bed. He had not meant to be so angry. His anger was destructive. He didn’t regret his actions but she had pushed him. She needed to be thought a lesson. It was long overdue. She thought to play him. He was the king. Now she would know that.He has cleaned her back and rubbing soothing lotion on it before he laid her on her stomach. He had seen red.How could Amanda come at him like that? Did she think he was going to betray his brother? He couldn’t get it out of his head and then he had come into the room to see Chanel standing there in the same fucking dress.He ran his hand through his hair. His brother would be back tomorrow. He didn’t know if he could tell him about it. He had come to understand that his brother has feelings for this girl. Too much.He looked at the girl on his bed. He felt things for her that he had never felt for any other woman and he didn’t like that one it. He wanted to hate her. She was not his type in any way

Throes of LoveChanel just got off the phone with Ian. He didn’t sound pissed or angry about the fight with Alfonso. He asked if she was okay. Most of all, he said he was never going to run away. He was going to be there for her. She liked that a lot, but she didn’t want him to die. She would be broken if he died.Chanel knew what she had to do. Maybe if she married Alfonso, things would get a little better. There was no way she was going to let Ian die. He didn’t deserve it at all. She remembered what the officers said. There was no way she would come out of this on top. They were just too dirty and into the game. How sad. Chanel was sitting on the bed when Maria informed her that breakfast was ready and she had a visitor. What? Who could be here to see her?Chanel stared at her face in the mirror. She didn’t have any bruises on her face except the one that was already fading. She would hate to look like what Alfonso had called her. She needed to get herself a job. That would be some
