Marco p.v.o“I'm going up to freshen up, I reek of that bitch's blood. Be gone with your women before I come down.” I teased my dad and uncle, knowing fully that they can't do shit when it comes to those women. They are practically whipped, and so am I. Complete head over heel for my woman, I think loving our women fiercely runs in the family. “Try telling them yourself.” Uncle hissed at me, I laughed at the expression on their faces. Making my way up the stairs, I stopped when a maid was scurrying away, scared of my presence, obviously. She was petite, and looked fragile and naive. Maybe one of the older maid's daughter, recently introduced to the work. “You.” I called out to her, freezing her into a statue. I saw her trembling, obviously thinking she had done something wrong. “Turn around.” I instructed. She didn't move, trembling even further like I was holding a gun to her head. “Don't make me repeat myself.” I hissed, getting irritated. I'm not a beast, I don't harm the inno

Zoey p.o.v“Marco.” I called harshly, slamming the door after me. Marco wasn't fazed by my out burst or the deafening sound from the door. He took his sweet time giving me his front profile, and raised an eyebrow at me. Which pisses me. “What?” His voice was soft and tonic, but at the same time authoritative. I pursed my lips into a thin line, I wasn't all that angry anymore. I don't know how it happened, I just found myself less angry. Nonetheless, I still want to throw tantrums. “Why are they moving my stuff.” I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper. It wasn't as firm as I hoped for. His gaze lazily swept over my body, causing a familiar sensation to crawl over my skin. “Zoey.” He called daringly. His says something else while his lips say the opposite. “I asked them to, is there a problem?” He frowned. “Yes, there is.” I fired back. “Oh…. Really? Where is it.” He teased. “I didn't permit anyone to move my stuff.”“You don't have to, I did. You are my woman, and you

Zoey POVSilence. Silence. It has been silent for a while now, unusual quiet. No drama, no chaos, nothing but silence. I don't wish for the chaos and bloodbath, but it's expected in the mafia life. Two whole weeks of total silence, that I'm even scared. Scared of the unknown, the unknown danger lurking in the dark waiting to catch us off guard, or rather take me unaware. Because I'm sure Marco and the rest of his family are always prepared for whatever comes there. I am not, mentally I'm not ready. I may have known the kind of lifestyle they lived, but nothing can prepare me enough. This silence, and the uneasiness in my gut, is telling me that it's the calm before the storm. The sound of a gunshot brought me but to present. Camilla took off her headset and turn to face me. “Zoey, you seem distracted, are you okay?” She asked concerned. I've been drifting away with my thoughts today, I shook my head at her. “I'm fine.” I respond. “Are you sure? We can take a break if you'd

Writer p.o.vAs the warm afternoon sun streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room, Zoey and Marco lay lazily on the bed. The remnants of their delicious lunch still lingered on their lips, and a comfortable silence enveloped them. It was a rare moment of tranquility in their otherwise chaotic lives.Zoey turned her head to look at Marco, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Marco,” she began, her voice soft and gentle, “Why did you choose to break up over telling me what was going on?”Marco's gaze shifted from the ceiling to meet Zoey's eyes. He took a deep breath, his mind flooded with memories of that painful time. “Zoey, I made a terrible mistake,” he confessed, his voice tinged with regret. “Back then, I was young and my power over the situation was limited, breaking up with you was the only way I could have done to drag the attention from you.” Marco, pissed by the memories, his mind replaces the event and how broken and vulnerable Zoey was then.He cursed

Zoey p.o.vMy eyes are closed as instructed as Hannah, the makeup artist Marco booked to cake me up for today's event. Tons and layers of concealer, foundation, contour and all other things involved in the perfect glam make up look. Or the celebrity look, as she claimed to give me, the look that will have people stop and stare and drop dead. I crack a small smile, Hannah is a friendly person. She would make her client warm up to her, and engage them in a conversation to keep the vibe flowing. “We are almost done....." She gave my face one final touch. “And done!”She exclaimed, clapping her hands together excitedly. “Can I open my eyes now?” I seek her permission, she had strictly requested me to not open my eyes until she is done. “Yes.” She gave her permission. I slowly open my eyes, only to flinch as my eyes wasn't used to the brightness in the room. “And the Queen.” Hannah said dramatically. I was stunned my new look, use to do make on myself before, but Hannah threw me of

Zoey p.o.vThe car rode to a stop in front of the biggest hall I've ever seen, the lighting from the building was blinding. It could pass as the daylight. Paparazzi are all over the place, some gather at the side of the red carpet leading to the entrance of the hall. While some scattered around, taking sneak pictures of people. I have no idea the kind of people, Marco invited, but based on their influence in the country. I'm sure they people at the top of the food chain. “To the underground garage.” Marco hissed irritated. I forgot he doesn't like the paparazzi, he was hardly seen on the newspapers or the TV unlike other famous business. If he's seen on the news, it is most like an old picture of him. The owners of these news firms won't want to be in the Alfonso's bad book, so they steer clear unless invited. The car came to a stop at the very private underground garage, accommodating only three other cars. “Wait for me.” Marco told me as he hurriedly gets down from the car, h

Zoey p.o.v“Zoey!” A very familiar feminine voice called my name from behind me, turning around to the caller. A saw all smiling Rebecca approaching me, I didn't know she came. “Rebecca, I didn't think you'd come.” With what happened in her visit, I was thinking it will take her time to heal. “I thought I wouldn't see you for a long time.” That was actually true. Because I certainly would be traumatized, but it seems like that's not the case for her. I shrug, it is nice seeing her again. “I would hate myself if I don't come to your introduction party, so have to put on my big pant.” She joked. “It's good to have you here, Rebecca.” “Congratulations, newest CEO.” She said, pulling me into another hug. “Thank you.” I giggled. “I totally wasn't expecting it.” I told her honestly. “Mmmm, Marco has been in your life without you knowing or seeing, he knew you love interior decors and would love to have your business on it. So he just has to do what is necessary.” Rebecca spilled ou

Zoey p.o.vToday's weather is sunny and warm, embracing your skin like a blanket in winter. I'm currently sitting in the living doing nothing actually, staring blankly at the TV. There is a program going on, but I wasn't paying any attention to it. My mind is going over yesterday's event, from the party to the mind-blowing sex with Marco. Okay, let me be honest, my mind was stuck in the later part. Thinking of it still gives me goosebumps. “Zoey!” Rebecca high pinch voice startled me back to reality. “You won't be this, have you seen the news?” She asks excitedly, taking her seat beside me. “No.” I shook my head, honestly it completely skipped my mind that the medias were there, and I'm certainly going to be on the news. “Girl! You are making headlines on all news channels.” Rebecca I was speechless, gaping at her like a fish out of water. I'm sure my eyes are bulging out of their socket. “Here, watch this.” She pass me her phone, I began scrolling through her Instagram wall.
