บททั้งหมดของ Secretly Married To My Enemy Don : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Jade's POVI stared out of the window of the moving SUV. The calmness of the environment mirrored the chaos in my mind.Dad is dead.Just like that.It felt like a movie. For all I know, My Dad, Mr Roberts, is someone who takes his health seriously. He is never sick.I couldn't wrap it around my head that my Dad, whom I saw hours ago in his office, who gave me money and permission to go hang out with Ruby, my best friend, is lying cold in a morgue.The doctor said it was heart failure.His secretary said he had a visitor. After the visitor left, he came out of his office, gasping for air, and was rushed to the hospital where he gave up.And I don't know who to believe.The car came to a stop in front of our duplex. Just a glance at the front door made my tears come rolling again.“You need to stop crying, Jade," Ruby said gently, rubbing circles on my back.“I can't," I sobbed. “I can't believe that Dad is no more! He was okay this afternoon. How could he just die?" Ruby held me clos

Jade's POV A wave of nausea swept through me as I eased my Jaguar Jeep into the parking lot of the courthouse. The car was the latest gift from my Dad, given two weeks ago on my birthday.Two weeks ago, Dad cut my twenty-fifth birthday cake with me, arranged a grand party that took the whole of Sicily by storm and gave the blogs something to write about, and presented this car to me.Two weeks after, the same blogs that carried the news of my birthday, ran wild with the news of Dad's mysterious death. And I am here, not unboxing birthday gifts or making videos, but finding ways to keep my inheritance without losing my sanity, or my life.The whole adrenaline from yesterday had evaporated, and I couldn't help asking myself if I was sure about this.Tony blatantly refused to marry me yesterday. He reasoned that he just met me, and he was not ready for any issue with Mom, or Luca De Santo. Every man has his price, and I named Tony’s own when I promised him ten million dollars if he agr

Jade's POV Goosebumps as big as pimples coated my skin as I stepped out of Mom's Maserati.It wasn't from the cold air that whipped up dresses.It was from the fact that I was standing in front of the most luxurious bridal boutique in Sicily, dressed in my skimpy pajamas that suggested every bit of my curves.Mom had kept her promise. She locked me up in her room, despite my protests and promises, and only dragged me out when she was ready to go look for wedding dresses.All because I protested that I would not marry Bernard Veritas.I caught a few heads turning in my direction as I hurried into the lounge of the boutique, with Ruby thick on my heels, shielding me.“Wow!" Ruby gasped as we stepped into the breathtaking lounge of the boutique. The moment we walked through the glass doors, the world outside disappeared. Soft, golden light spilled across marble floors, and gentle music floated through the air—like a romantic symphony whispering promises of forever.It was like steppin

Jade's POV The bright morning light filtered through the soft silk curtains of my bedroom, against my wish that the day never breaks.Saturday morning.The day I will wed Bernard Veritas.And Tony’s phone is not going through.I sat up on my bed, my palms sweaty, my spine straight, my mind all over the place as the weight of my stupidity descended on me.Tony had the marriage certificate.“Shit!” I exclaimed, slapping a hand on my forehead.I am a fool. What was I thinking? I got married to a stranger and let him keep the wedding certificate?Someone I have never known in my life?If this was not bottom barrel stupidity, what else could it be?Picking up my phone, my chest tight, my heart hammering against my ribcage, I dialed Tony's phone number again.It went straight to voicemail. As always.I placed both hands on my head in despair as realization dawned on me.I have been played.Tony is one of Luca's men, sent to trick me. Sent to be kind and empathetic. Those tattoos.Those mi

Luca's POV I expected defiance.I anticipated her screaming for help, begging her mother to save her.I expected her to kick me where the sun does not shine.I expected her to run away, without looking back.But none of that happened.What I didn't expect was Jade to get into the car meekly, sit beside me and look out of the window, without a fuss.She did not stab me.She did not try to strangle me.She just sat there, staring on of the window of the Limousine, silent.I never saw that coming.And the silence was eating me up.“Are you okay, Princess?" I attempted to break the ice.She did not even blink.Minutes passed, the hum of the engine beneath us doing the talking.“Ask me anything you want, Princess. What is on your mind?" I tried again.The Ice defrosted. That was all it took.“It was all planned out, right?" Jade asked, her voice hoarse, still looking out of the window.“What do you mean?" I played dumb. Now that she had found her tongue, I didn't want her to stop talking.
