Chapter 30Isabella's POVThe sun filtered through the curtains as I opened my eyes, the only thing that echoed through the room was soft music playing from a Bluetooth speaker nearby. I was confused as my eyes flew open glancing around the unfamiliar room and that was when I realized that I was back in my room. This time it wasn't Rodrigo's bedroom but my bedroom that was directly opposite me. One of the cleaning ladies who worked for him once told me that no woman had shared Don's bed with him and I was comfortable with that. I can be anywhere in this Mansion as long as it is not the Alpha's room.When a soft comes on the door, one of the ladies sticks her head in through the open doorway."Hey," I shot a smile at her even though they will never smile at me, not sure if it was a rule or just something that was just inherent in them. "Don Rodrigo needs you to come downstairs now!" She was firm which only made me roll my eyes. How did he know that I was awake?"Fine I will be down in
Rodrigo's PoVHow she blinked her eyes made me feel that there was someone else in her life and probably she has given herself to that person. When the Thought crossed his mind he was mad at her but didn't bother to show it since their marriage was only for a year."I am not nobody whore" she finally breaks the silence after having thought about it."Come down in three minutes"With that, I turned around and left the room heading down the stairs, and down to the dining room where Marcello was already waiting for me. Juan Carlos had some business to take care of and wasn't joining us. There was going to be a celebration tomorrow night and we were expected to have our first dance together. My Grandmother will be having some friends over and they will want to see her perfect Grandson perform one of his best moves. It was something that I wasn't looking forward to but couldn't say no since it was my Grandmother asking and no one else."Isabella!" That familiar voice piqued my interest as
Rodrigo's POVWhen I heard the gunshot, Marcello and I glanced at each other once again before walking to the living room, and right there I saw Jennifer holding a gun but this time she wasn't pointing her gun at anyone but to her head. I can feel Isabella's flew open as her heart races. When our eyes locked together she threw a death glare at me. What did I do this time?"What are doing?" I asked. First was Isabella and now it was Jennifer. What's it with these women?"It was me you wanted" She was looking at Marcello and he glared at her but deep in his eyes was another emotion that I just couldn't make out at the moment. "Why didn't you just take me and leave him alone? Why did you have to go after him because of you he is fighting for his life. He is the only one that I have yet Because of you there is a chance that he might not make it and if he does, the doctors are saying that he will be unconscious" She was embitteredMarcello should really know when to use a gun. I had to ta
Jennifer's POV"No Don, I won't apologize to him" I stated my lips firm. Perhaps, I might have crossed my boundary by dragging his mother into this but he was the one who kept provoking me. I never knew anything about him till the day I met him at the club and he offered to buy a drink for me but I turned him down. There was something about him that I just couldn't put my fingers around, when I saw the tattoos on his body, I realized that he was part of the Cartel and I needed to stay away from him. When I was little, I got kidnapped and though a man who was part of the Mafia's Family had saved me back then, I just hated them. The killings made me sick to the stomach, I couldn't stand it all but I couldn't object either since I worked for Don Rodrigo. It was on his Grandmother's recommendation that I got hired for his wedding. I thought the Don was the most horrible of them all till I met Marcello. After I turned him down and went to dance with another man, he shot him and framed hi
Jennifer's POVWhen the familiar voice echoed through the office, I exhaled deeply. It felt like an angel had just arrived and was going to save me. "Let her go now!" He ordered this time his lips were firm."Juan Carlos" Marcello scoffed, lowering his hand as he turned to face the figure who was standing behind him. "I see you are back""I see you are still the same old bully, Why don't you go and pick someone half your size""Why don't you mind your own business""She is my business because you are hurting my friend, let her go now!" "You better tell your friend to stay away from me""I always stay away from you and you know that"He glared at me for talking back to him. Wasn't I supposed to talk back to him? How can this fellow be human? I shook my head looking at him as he took a step backwards. "Are you alright?" Juan Carlos asked as he rushed over to me offering me his hands for support so that I could stand up. "Thanks but I got it" I wanted nothing more to do with these Ma
Marcello's POVWhen I locked eyes with her, she jumped almost to move away from the arms of that Man. However, on second thought, she wondered why she was acting like a child who was caught trying to steal money to buy candy from her mother's purse.The look in my eyes must have frightened her for a moment. Nevertheless, when she remembered Rodrigo's words, she knew she had no reason to be afraid of me. But she got it all wrong, I was the one who was not scared of what Rodrigo would do to me. I was used to his punishment and wouldn't blink an eye since he was doing it so that others wouldn't undermine his authority as the Mafia King."Are you alright?" He asked her, acting so concerned which only made my blood boil in a manner that I couldn't fathom. Right there, I couldn't take my eyes off her, I should hate her for being such a tramp. The Last time it was with another man and today it was with another, she was kissing him so shamelessly out in the open when she was next to her brot
Jennifer's POVShawn had been acting up ever since Marcello dared to show up. I had no clue why that egghead had to come close to me. He must be out of his mind coming close to me and demanding that I don't have a drink.However, I was more worried about Shawn, After Marcello left, he made me look like a fool, I was literally throwing myself at him but he wasn't even looking my way. He was mad at me for lying to him that I didn't know Marcello. How could I be so stupid? Of course, he knew who he was, everyone else knew that he worked for Don Rodrigo. Words on the street were that he was a devil and no one wanted to have anything to do with him especially me. Anger seeped through me that he ruined my night yet I just still couldn't do anything, when that woman danced for him, I felt disgusted. I will never be like her, I will never dance for him no matter what happens, he was insane if he dared assume that I was going to dance for him, he was nothing but trash and I was going to disc
Marcello's POVWhen the sheet fell from her chest, it felt like a dream come true. However, she tries to cover her breasts from my burning gaze, a gesture that I assumed was stupid since I have already seen it and had imagined so many times sucking on that well-defined breast. Her red nipples pointed at me and I knew it was calling out to me to bring my lips closer. I can only imagine the things that I wanted to do to her."You are so beautiful" I caressed her cheek, kissing her earlobe down to the nape of her neck, and a soft moan escaped her lips. "Jennifer" I lifted her jaw staring Into her eyes, I wasn't the only one who had done that. She was about to turn her face to the other side when I ravaged her lips once again, the kiss was hungry and wild, inflamed with desires that I hadn't had in a long time. I wanted to eat her without Jennifer even being aware of it.My powerful hands ran up and down her beautiful body, brushing against her intimate secrets. I laid wet kisses on her
