MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Eleven
As I stood at the door waiting for one of his henchmen to take me to him, a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. I just couldn't put my mind at rest."This way," one one his men said, startling me back to reality. I heaved a sigh and followed immediately as he led me into the study. He opened the door wide, bidding me to enter."He is waiting for you," he said. I gathered the last shred of confidence I had and walked right through the door. I felt as though each step I took closer to him was taking me closer to my doom, yet I couldn't run from it. The man who led me inside didn't enter the study with me; he shut the door immediately, and I became apprehensive.I turned to look at the door, contemplating bailing, but I had decided it was time I faced my foe head-on. As I walked into the room, he was sitting at his desk looking through some documents. It was a bit dark in the room with only the table lamp on. I wondered why he would be working in the dark, but then I remembered how dark

I couldn't sleep; I kept tossing, turning and thinking about the events of the previous day and the fact that I had to marry a Capo, whatever that meantI remembered when I came across a post on Mace Hunter. It was actually the first time I heard about him; the media described him as one of the most sought-after bachelors in New York and the Heir to Hunter's global company. If only they knew the real Mace Hunter like I have known him these few days. Maybe they will stop reporting lies.I saw many comments online, mostly from women, praising him for his good looks and wealth, and many wishing to marry him but if only they knew he was more of a beast than a man.I also thought that he was handsome, and I had some pictures of him downloaded on my phone. that I left behind what seemed like a lifetime ago. I turned from one part of the bed to another, trying so hard to rid my mind of Mace.I thought about my decision and wondered if I had made the right one. I began racking my head, trying

I went shopping with Lucia, the designer. She was nice and made me feel at home with her. She is quite the talker, but I noticed she is careful not to mention Mace in every of her conversations. Even when she unknowingly mentioned him, she quickly maneuvered the conversation.We went from shopping for clothes to underwear, makeup, jewelry, beauty products, and even wedding gown fitting. I thought my wedding was going to be a remarkable day, that I wouldn't forget in a hurry, but right now it's just like every other day. I just want to get it done with already. Shopping with Lucia was fun, but the prices of some of the things we bought still made me dizzy. it was actually breathtaking being accorded respect at every shop each time we flash Mace's infinity credit card, I guess one of the perks of marrying Mace was wearing expensive things and being treated like royalty. We finished shopping a little late. I was dropped off at the mansion, and I got in only to find out Mace wasn't home.

The hotel was a beautiful one; it was my first time stepping foot into a 5-star hotel. When we got to the bar, it was as though I walked into a Disney movie. I am not much of a drinker, but honestly, getting drunk at such a beautiful place won't be a bad idea after all. We walked into the restaurant and saw Mace's parents sitting in the corner while the whole place was empty.Mace's mom was all dolled up and dressed in a blue modest gown, but there was nothing modest about her black heels; those bad guys were long, and I don't know how she could walk in those. But I guess she handles them quite well to still be wearing them. She spotted us and whispered something to Mace's father, who was dressed in all black: a black suit, pants, shirt, and shoes. As black as his and his son's souls anyway. Their souls are just as pitch dark as darkness itself. I guess they just love wearing the color of their souls, to show the world their true color, so you won't mistake them for an angel; Mace's
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Fifteen
I woke up this morning with a feeling of excitement and happiness radiating around my body. I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy these past few days. I didn't wait to be awoken by his men as I usually do. I finished bathing very early in the morning and went down for breakfast. When I got to the dining hall, Mace wasn't there as usual. I felt bad, not because I wanted to see him, but just maybe he had a change of mind regarding going to see my dad.I inquired from the maids, and the chief maid, Olivia, said he left early in the morning and instructed her not to make breakfast for him. I slumped into one of the chairs, feeling dejected."Is everything okay? Is the breakfast not to your liking?" Olivia asked, pointing at the dishes on the table."I'm not hungry," I replied as I made my way to sit on one of the couches in the sitting room. I was patiently waiting for him to return. A lot of thoughts ran through my mind. I tried convincing myself that he had only forgotten t

I opened my eyes, and everything seemed dreamy. The roof was spinning, I shut my eyes right back, my head was aching so much, and my whole body was damn sore. I was still trying to figure out what happened and where I was when someone came to my bedside, staring down at my face."Thank God you are awake," he said, holding my left hand. "Get the doctor!" I heard him bark orders at one of his men. I lay on the bed astonished; the face staring right back at me was none other than Mace. I couldn't help but wonder why he was relieved that I was awake. He was still clutching my hand. The doctor rushed in a few minutes later and ran some checks on me; he turned to Mace and began explaining to him."She will be alright; it's just a head concussion and a few bruises," he immediately sighed in relief."So there is nothing else, right?" He asked the doctor."Yes, Capo, she will be dismissed in a matter of days" The doctor replied. "It better be," He snarled.The doctor took a step backward, t

I was excitedly waiting for Mace to enter but was disappointed when a bodyguard came into the room to inform me that the car was ready.I tried so hard to resist the urge to throw stuff at him that I banged my spoon on the table and stormed off. I was about to enter the car when I realized his face was new. I guess he is the new guard that was assigned to me. I have never really seen much of this new bodyguard, nor have I seen Niko since the accident. And I kept forgetting to ask Mace.The new bodyguard, Leo, wasn't much of a talker; I didn't feel relaxed with him, but maybe it was because of the near-death experience that made me so distrustful.I arrived at Nyx Bridal, and Ana was patiently waiting for me while going through the catalogs. I tried out tons of wedding gowns before we got the one she finally approved of; it wasn't an easy feat getting her to approve this wedding gown, as she was looking for the one that would be perfect for the wedding of her son and her dearest daught
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Eighteen
It has been weeks since the incident in my room, and I have buried myself in the wedding preparation while avoiding him like the plague. I never thought I had it in me, but I guess alcohol brings out the vile nature of even the purest. If I didn't know better, I would say he was also avoiding me; he automatically vanished from the house.It was the wedding day, and I was trying everything possible not to break down. The whole house was flooded with people, most of whom I didn't even know. I would have loved to have one person from my side, but it was not up for negotiation, and the last thing I want is for Dad to see me in this mess.As I sat in one of the many rooms to be dolled up, Selena walked right in."Aren't you the most beautiful bride I have ever seen?" she screamed excitedly and smiled back."You are so lucky," she chipped in. I wondered what luck I stumbled on this time around—not Mace of course.She kept going on and on about the wonders of Mace, I was tempted to beg her
