Chapter one : Her wedding Day

Natalie stared at her reflection in the mirror and barely recognized the girl looking back. Her hair was curled and pinned like a porcelain doll’s. Her makeup, subtle and expensive, masked the growing storm in her eyes. The gown—a soft champagne gold with crystal embroidery—clung to her body like a silk cage. Expensive. Delicate. Uncomfortable. Just like the day ahead. “You look beautiful, Miss,” the maid said gently, finishing the clasp at the back.She gave a tight smile as she looked at her white satin dress. It was her day. Her wedding day. Bile rose at the back of her throat as she thought of it. Her uncle had only told her about it last night. She had had no time to prepare. To plan. To escape. Not like she had gotten that much chance either. Her uncle had locked her up immediately he told her, knowing full well that she would plan to escape. Natalie's smile didn't reach her eyes as she made her way to the entrance where the car that would take her to the venue was wa

Chapter Two : The devil's wife

Natalie looked around for the source of the voice. Her eyes found a pair of intense sea green eyes.With long black hair and a rolled up shirt. At the corner of the altar, her uncle stood eyes bulging in surprise, sweat broke out on his forehead. He dabbed at it furiously. Viktor's eyes narrowed. Natalie tried to place this face. Was this some admirer of hers who wanted to play hero? The pair of eyes walked towards the altar , his gaze never leaving Natalie. He gave her a once over, his eyes resting briefly on her lips. Natalie bit it unconsciously. "Lorenzo..."Viktor said by way of acknowledgement."what brings you here?" So this was from His side? Oh boy! The young man smiled, a handsome devilish smile that did something nasty to her insides. She froze. Why would she be feeling this way? "I wanted to wait till after, I'm not one for parties you know....But..." his gaze lingered on her again " your pretty wife here made the party so lively and got my attention".

Chapter Three : A world of his own

“Leila,” Lorenzo greeted her flatly. “You are back early" .He paused and pulled Natalie closer. "meet my new wife, " a mischievous smile " Natalie Grimaldi Now officially De Luca". Natalie cringed searching his face. There was no way he wouldn't know. Or was he pretending? Leila’s eyes swept over her, the way a snake studies a trapped mouse. Her lips curled into something between a smile and a sneer. " she's your wife? " A scoff " Now you are joking right?" Lorenzo cocked a brow. "it's not a prank. She's my wife now, conquered in what was quite a conquest" He grinned. Natalie couldn't believe her ears. She had to be dreaming right? First was a hostile takeover marriage, and now a reincarnation of her past monsters, all in one day. Her life couldn't get any worse. “she's not going to be a part of this family!" Leila snapped. Eyes red. "you can't just go out and bring some bitch in here!" Natalie's ears rang. Lorenzo's hand on her arm tightened and his eyes narrowe

Chapter Four : The Escape

Her heart skipped a beat as his handsome face loomed closer. He might kiss her again like he did at the altar. she panicked and searched for an excuse. “I’m your prisoner.” That defense was weak. She sounded weak. Not what we should be doing Natalie. He took a step closer. “I married You. ” “I was kidnapped from my wedding.” Obviously. " The wedding you wanted? Or the one you were forced into? You’re safer here.” “That’s not the same as willing.” He looked at her, something unreadable passing through his eyes. Then he sat on the edge of the bed. “So you’re going to make this difficult?” “I’m going to make this honest.” He studied her face. "I wouldn't force you, but we'd have to consummate this marriage sooner than you think. Or else something's going to happen. I saved you whether you think so or not" A smile. That smile again. The one that gave her awkward butterflies in her stomach. It would be easier to hate this man if he wasn't so Devilishly handsome . "Thank you" .

Chapter Five : Buried Secrets

“You heard me. Kill her. Or don’t. Either way, I’m not paying you a cent.”The line went dead.Gideon stared at the phone, stunned. Natalie’s eyes widened. Her heart cracked in her chest.He wouldn’t save her. She would die. He didn’t care. He didn't have to, she wasn't important anyways.She had never been. ---ElsewhereBack in the car, Lorenzo stared at the screen with cold calculation. He turned to his driver. “Do we have eyes on the location?”“Yes, boss.”“Tell the men to wait. Let them sweat.”Lorenzo leaned back, a dark smile playing on his lips.“Let's see how this thing goes...”---The warehouse reeked of gasoline and sweat.Natalie’s wrists burned from the tight rope digging into her skin. Her lips were cracked, her body aching from being dragged, shoved, and left in the cold for hours. Gideon hadn’t even looked her in the eye when he ordered his men to tie her up. He was too busy barking orders into his phone trying desperately to reach Lorenzo who it seemed had given up

Chapter Six : The marriage Bed

She was standing in the dim storage room, her hand slipping the confidential file she’d found back into the pile of old paperwork just as Lorenzo De Luca stepped in fully his eyes darting all over the room. His sharp gaze swept over her, then the room.“What are you looking for?” he asked, his voice low and unreadable.Natalie kept her expression calm, her pulse wild beneath her skin. “Nothing important,” she said lightly, turning to face him. He didn’t press. His eyes lingered on her for a long second, unreadable.“You’re closing early today,” he finally said. “We have somewhere to go. You should go home and get dressed. I've spoken to Marina already. "“Where?” she asked, suspicious . He didn’t answer. He simply walked away.Natalie exhaled shakily, heart pounding. Whatever he was hiding, she was getting closer. Rushing to conclusions at this point won't be profitable. She had to find more information. She returned to her desk, quietly gathered her things, and allowed herself to be

Chapter Seven : Their First Night.

The words hung in the air. She couldn't find her voice. Natalie blinked, stunned. She found her voice, her throat suddenly going dry. This was.... How was he expecting her to... "Why now? Why tonight? Is this about proving something to Esmeralda? Or is this one of your power games again?" She refused to be used as a pawn again. Lorenzo didn’t move. "Do you always believe the worst of everyone?" She scoffed, standing ,removing her shoes and jewelries. "You bought me like property.You expect me to worship you because you rescued me violently from a useless marriage. Forgive me if I don’t leap at the chance to see your humanity." His eyes darkened, but instead of snapping, he stepped closer. "Why didn’t you tell me what you found in my office? Why were you snooping around? " his voice was dangerously calm. She blinked. "You saw me? And didn't say anything?" "Of course. I was waiting for you to say something. We shouldn't be keep secrets, Mia moglie." He removed his

Chapter Eight : My husband's brother loves me

The roses had bloomed early this year. Their fragrance clung to the summer air, a sickly sweet contrast to the bitterness curling in Esmeralda's chest. She walked slowly through the De Luca estate garden, her heels clicking against the marble path as if each step needed to remind the world she belonged here.She didn’t knock when she entered the sunroom. Madam De Luca was already there, seated like royalty with her teacup poised in one hand, her eyes trailing the headlines of an Italian fashion magazine.“You’re late,” Madam De Luca said, without looking up.“Traffic,” Esmeralda replied, sitting opposite her. She crossed her legs deliberately. Madam De Luca raised her brows but said nothing. “Though I suspect you know why I came.” She continued. Finally, the older woman set her magazine aside and met Esmeralda's gaze. “If this is about Lorenzo and that girl, speak plainly.”“Natalie,” Esmeralda said with distaste. “She doesn’t belong here. She isn’t one of us. She doesn’t understand

Chapter Nine: The Kidnap

Natalie stood by the tall windows of the study, arms folded across her chest, watching the golden streaks of morning light filter through the glass. Sleep had evaded her the night before. Lucian’s unexpected confession had caused her thoughts to be in chaos.The things he said and the way he said it. He was so honest. She was his brother's wife. Nothing should happen between them. Lorenzo wouldn't be particularly pleased if he found out either. She hadn't seen Lucian again since the weekend conversation. She avoided him purposefully, not knowing what to say. She had spent so much of her time trying to understand Lorenzo, only to have Lucian throw another emotional knot into the web. Why had he said it? Why now? That morning, she entered the company building and headed straight to her desk. She felt eyes on her. Whispers. As if everyone knew something she didn’t. But Natalie had grown used to that by now.It wasn't everyday you saw your boss's wife work as a mere secretary. During

Chapter Ten : I hate my husband

Esmeralda was seated majestically on a table. She gave Natalie a derisive look. "you were a dead body waiting to show up love, ever since you came into my household and stole my man." Natalie scoffed beside herself. "last I checked, your 'man' married me against my will, seduced me and slept with me. I never asked for any of that!" Esmeralda paused. "Slept... With you? " She turned red. She walked towards Natalie and gave her slap on the cheeks. Natalie's ears rang. "You don't deserve him, you whore! He's mine! " She couldn't see clearly. Esmeralda scoffed. "It's going to take more than just scaring you to make Lorenzo mine. " her voice turned deadly. "you'll have to die " Natalie panicked. "that's the least of what you can do you bitch! Instead of being worried about me, why not get your so called man to divorce me! I never wanted this marriage anyway! Tell him to let me go and I'll go. You'll never see me again! He means nothing to me anyways! " She cried vehem
