The devil incarnate dogged the vase in a good show of quick reflexes. For a moment, he looked surprised, but quickly masked it and winked at me.I honestly didn't believe I just threw a vase at Mace. What was I thinking? What if he hadn't dodged? I could have killed him, and I would have been a murderer, and at worst, a whole Mafia would be after me. I must have gone crazy."Quick reflexes are a must in the Mafia, but I don't think you would want to make yourself a widow now, Tilda."I couldn't believe the Asshole's nerves. I was really angry, and I know that it usually leads to me lashing out, and the lash out lash out I did a few moments ago nearly killed him, so I ignored him and made my way to the fridge to grab a beer. I just wanted to calm my nerves down, but before I could open the beer can, Mace snatched it from me."Have you forgotten that pregnant women aren't supposed to drink any form of alcohol? Did you read the pamphlet at all?"And I snapped."Killing people and selling
One minute I was gunning for his head, and now he is comfortably lying down on my bed, waiting patiently for me to finish my food, and I'm actually eager to hear what he has to say.I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances at him. He seems hot, with his veins popping out of his hands."Get it together, woman," I muttered to myself. It was these kinds of thoughts that landed me in this mess in the first place. I dropped the spoon and pushed the food back a little."You don't want to eat anymore? He asked, sat up, and pushed my hair back gently."I can't eat anymore; I'm stuffed" I replied."Here, take some water." He lifted a glass of water from the bedside table and brought it close to my mouth. I took a few gulps, lifted my head from the cup, and he set the glass down."Do you want to lie down?""No, I'm okay," I said to him while waiting for him to tell me what was going on."Do you need anything else? "I was already losing my patience, and it was as though he was avoiding the t
The girls can be mischievous sometimes. I locked the door behind me, and they kept knocking on my door. The knocking died down after a while, and I was on the bed trying to recollect the events of the day."I killed someone, I thought to myself. It was kind of unbelievable; I didn't know what I was feeling, shaken or glad I did."He would have killed me if I didn't shoot him." I tried convincing myself so I could feel a little less bad.I was preparing for bed when I decided to check up on Mace. I stepped out of the room and went to the sitting room. I peered out of the window, and his car was still packed outside. I smiled and went back to the room to get some sleep. I went in under my cover. I placed my head on the pillow but couldn't sleep. I kept turning on the bed, hoping to doze off, but sleep eluded me.I jerked off the bed when I heard the sound of footsteps. I froze and quickly went for the gun, gently opening the top drawer on my bedside table. I got out the gun and waited f
His hands caressed my bare back; it was ticklish, but I was enjoying the blissful moment with him. He buried his face in my hair, and a little while longer he got off the bed and grabbed my jacket."Come on, Amorino," he said, stretching his hands to me. I stood up from the bed, and he helped me put on the jacket. He grabbed the duvet and gently lifted me off my feet."Where are we going?" I asked, chuckling."Somewhere fun and cool," he replied. I cupped my hands around his neck, and he carried me outside to the beach. We were both covered in the duvet as we both sat down together admiring the beach. It was soothing listening to the sound of the disagreeing waters, and the weather was a little cool. I have always gone to the beach in the daytime; this is the first time I'm hanging out at the beach this late. Honestly, it was something else."Do you like it?" he asked, holding me tight to him."I love it." It was a bit chilling, but it was exciting. Mace kept looking at my face. I ign
My heart almost collapsed at the sound of gunshots. I shut the door to my room immediately, praying that it wouldn't all end tonight. I tried calling Mace a couple of times, but he wasn't picking up. I guess he's still in a meeting. I hide in the corner of my room, all shaky. A few minutes later, my doorbell rang. I thought the bodyguards stationed downstairs had all been killed and were going to come at me like they did before. I went in search of a gun in the cabinet, I was about to open the cabinet when I heard my phone ring. I thought it was Mace, and I quickly jumped out of the bathroom in search of the phone. I didn't bother checking who the caller was, and I picked up."Mace, you need to come get me.""Tilda, calm down." I heard Grace's voice from the other end."Grace?" I took the phone away from my cheeks to check who the caller was. Grace asked me to come downstairs because someone was asking for me.I was scared out of my mind. For a second, I thought they had finally got t
MACE'S POVI, Meason Hunter was way over the moon, and back when my baby took me back, it was one of the happiest days of my life, I was all over her and couldn't get my eyes off her for even a split second. I know I messed up before but I wouldn't let any hawk in human form come even an hair's breadth close to her, I would cherish and pamper her as she deserves. In all my 35 years on earth as a made man I had never been scared of losing someone like I was when she kicked me out of the hospital, I felt my heart breaking in tiny pieces, if this is what heartbreak truly looks like, I wouldn't want to experience it ever again. I stepped outside with Ray to gather the courage to come to face her again, she has a knack for disorganizing me, I stood outside the door contemplating when best to go in. I nearly punched a hole into that fool's face when he came to see Tilda at the hospital, I would have done more damage to his stupid face when Ray came to his rescue begging me to free him for
It is my second day here in the Hunter's Mansion and Mace has been nothing but sweet to me. He spends every waking moment trying so hard to make things right.I know there is danger lurking around the corner, but I decided to face every single one of them head-on as long as I have Mace. I was in the room when I got a text from Mace to come join him at the study. It was the first time he invited me into the study after we signed that damned marriage contract. I leaped off the bed and went down to the study to see Mace.On getting into the study, he was on a video chat with someone. Immediately I saw him, my brows went up in a frown, wondering why he would send for me if he was on a business call.He waved at me, smiling while beckoning for me to come over. I went to him, and he took me by the waist and made me sit on his lap, making me face the laptop screen. I was surprised to see his mom on the laptop screen."Tilda darling," she called out. I guess she was more overjoyed seeing me t
I prayed silently for the day not to end, and even if it were a dream, I would gladly remain in this dreamland. There was soft music playing in the background, and the atmosphere was just soothing. The chauffeur took our orders, and a few minutes later he appeared with plates. These days I don't feel like a princess locked away in a mansion anymore, but I feel like the center of Mace's world.I guess some are just so lucky, and I am among the lucky ones. I ate the food to my heart's content, and I was enjoying the evening without any fear of being shot at. Just when I thought the evening was going to come to an end, the fireworks started."Woah, this is so awesome," I said, grinning at Mace. He held me from behind as we watched the fireworks together. "Do you like it?" he whispered into my ears."I love it" was all I could manage to say as I watched the fireworks go off one after another. It was far more than I imagined, and I find myself falling in love with Mace Hunter over and over
