SiennaJust as I stood up, I saw Eric enter into the house. He looked surprised to see me but smiled nonetheless. His clothing was covered in deep crimson blood and so were his hands. I didn't know why, but I felt sudden panic when I saw the blood, which was stupid because I dealt with blood all the time."So this bit of business didn't require a gun?" I asked cheekily. He smirked as he flexed his hands, and I watched his built arms also flex as he showcased his perfectly sculpted muscles. "This bit of business was more personal," he finally replied.I nodded because I perfectly understood what he meant. But shit, I couldn't fall for him.I sighed softly before I asked, "Where is your first aid box?" As soon as I said that, his guard held a box out for me. And it was the same one Cara had an adorable little crush on. And I could even see why. "Thank you, " I replied, looking straight at him. The guard smiled politely. "I am Gabriel," he said, introducing himself. I nodded as I s
EricSienna returned to Italy for some business she had to take care of. I was a little disheartened when she did indeed leave. She was growing on me much more than I cared to admit.I also had some business that I had to take care of. Many bosses would sit on their thrones and let their advisors run their business for them, but not me. There was something about getting my hands dirty that drove me. It made me hungry for more power.That meant I had little time to myself but when I did, I made sure to enjoy it. I smiled to myself when the thought of taking Sienna out crossed my mind. Would she even want to go out with me? No. Fuck, I couldn't think like that.I knew I wasn't compassionate and loveable unlike Sean, and my heart sank at the possibility of Sienna rejecting me. Perhaps she would stay in Italy and never return to America. I wasn't good enough for her, I could never be. This marriage was nothing but a piece of paper like she said.I shook my head and headed for my basement.
EricAs I sat in my private plane, which was one of many to my name, Gabriel smiled as he sat opposite me. I sighed heavily before I said, "Spit it out." Gabriel smiled even wider. "Nothing," he said before he pursed his lips and looked elsewhere.I growled as I looked at him, knowing I could take him in a fight. Granted, it would take a while seeing as he was a fucking good fighter. "Fuck off, Gabriel." The fucker.He looked out of the window and into the starry night sky. "I wanted to ask you why we are going to Italy but then I figured it out." He looked at me as he crossed his arms. "You are going to see a particular brunette and can I just say you look good together. Give it a chance, Eric." He smiled gently.I shook my head but I didn't deny his accusation. I was indeed going to see Sienna, but I was unsure as to why. I didn't even know who she was until we were wedded. But I felt a longing to see her and to be in her presence.***When we arrived in Italy, I immediately heade
SiennaI absolutely loathed attending Marco's annual ball. It was full of despicable people, many of whom I had very little respect for. But one thing was for sure: I would have to attend it this year because I didn't have an excuse. I had never seen fucking Eric attend the ball. Not even once. He was just fucking lucky.Marco was a brawny man who was about six foot four. His warm brown skin was covered in a lot of tattoos. He had been a friend of mine for quite some time and I would trust him with my life if it were in his hands, which was a very rare thing to say about someone who was not related to me by blood.I sent Marco a dirty look which encouraged him even more. "So I will take that as a yes!" he exclaimed, chuckling before he gulped more mouthfuls of champagne. I dared not open my mouth in that moment because even I was afraid of what might come out of it. Sometimes, I had no control over what I said and majority of times, I offended people because of the things I said. No
EricI was not sure what came over me but I kissed Sienna's hand. The sweet scent never left my lips. I wanted more. I craved it like a drug. One taste was enough to get me addicted. She was like a drug. The reason I flew to Italy was to see her and fucking hell, I did see her and I also saw her insert her heel in that man's neck. She was just so intriguing.I was in such a daze that I hardly noticed Gabriel enter the room to drop my suitcase. However, I did see the smirk that was plastered across his face, but I did not care.I eventually showered and lay on the bed. My tired body begged for sleep and I gave in. This would be the first time I had slept in a while. My dreams were beautiful. I dreamt of Sienna Zanotti, my wife. Maybe she was 'the one.' ***The next day, I finally woke up but I did not know what time it was. Usually, when I went to sleep, I was to be left undisturbed no matter the emergency. A guard made the mistake of waking me up from my sleep one time and now, I cou
EricHalf an hour later we arrived at a club. Gabriel walked beside me into the poorly lit place. We got a few stares as we headed inside, and I smirked as I saw a face I recognized."Vodka, neat," I said to the bartender and he began to pour my drink immediately. "Go on, Gabriel, have a drink," I prompted, and Gabriel straightened out his suit jacket as he nodded. I looked at the bartender. "Pour a glass for my friend here." He obliged and soon, I became increasingly aware of the many stares I was getting from people all around.I was in no ordinary club. The booths were sticky looking and LED lights flashed around the room. Several women worked poles in barely any clothing while men sat watching as they smoked and drank.I tipped the drink in my glass into my mouth and got up from the barstool, then I pulled the sleeves off my shirt up and adjusted my cuffs. As I walked towards a particular booth, people kept staring at me. I was daring. I dared to walk to the booth of a dangerous
Unknown PersonI switched off my phone. My chest heaved heavily. Did I hear right? My Sienna got married.How dare she! She was supposed to love me. She was supposed to be with me. She was supposed to be mine. I growled very loudly and pushed off the brunette who was pleasuring me by sucking my cock. "Get out!" I spat angrily, and she looked at me in fright before she quickly left.I zipped my pants up and went over to the nearest wall, punching it in anger. The force almost broke my knuckles, as they began to bleed profusely at the impact. But I did not care. All I could think about was Sienna and what I could have done to make her despise me so much that she got married. We were so good together, and I thought we would end up together no matter what problems arose between us.She even got married to him and not even an ordinary man. No, that would be too normal and too mundane for her. But it had to be that fucking bastard. Never in a million years did I think that she would agree t
SiennaA few of my guards who were within eyesight bowed their heads at me. I held mine high as I walked to the front door."No business today. If something arises, deal with it. Got it?" I instructed my head guard and he nodded in response. I opened the front door widely. The bright sunshine hit my face, and the glorious summer heat rippled off the clear water in the fountain before me.I took a deep breath as I inhaled the fresh air. "Would you like to accompany me to lunch, Eric?" I asked. I did seem to like his presence and his personality was refreshing. I wanted to find out more about him, and delve beneath his surface. However, I didn't wait for an answer from him as I walked down the front steps.I heard the crunch of gravel behind me as Eric made his way down before he came to stand beside me. I crossed my arms and waited. Shortly after, a car was brought before me.I entered it and gripped the cool leather steering wheel. "Fuck, I have missed this," I muttered as I started
