MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Fourteen
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
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixteen
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
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Seventeen
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
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Nineteen
I woke up with a headache the next morning. I wanted to stand up from the bed, but I felt a heavy load placed on me; it was like someone was pressing me into the bed. I turned to see Mace lying down next to me.It took me some seconds to remember why I had a splitting headache and why I was in bed with Mace.He had his leg thrown over me, and his erection was pressing into my back. I often imagined what it would be like to be in bed with him. But now that it was happening, I wasn't happy about it.I pushed his arms off me, and he rolled on his back.I turned over to have a clearer view of him, and I took my time admiring his features. His jet-black hair was disheveled. His face was chiseled, and he was very ribbed. I often saw his muscles when he walked around the house with no shirt on, but it was never up close. It was my first time in bed with him. I had always imagined how romantic it was going to be, but right now, it hurts more than it pleases me.He had tattoos on his chest, ar
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Twenty
MACE'S POVI couldn't hide the feeling of satisfaction I felt this morning. I obviously can't remember the last time I was this relaxed or even slept this much. I tried stretching myself when I felt someone pressing on my right-hand side. I turned only to see Matilda sleeping peacefully in my arms, her black wavy hair covering some part of her face, and her pale white skin glowing effortlessly in the morning sun.I never believed anyone could change me this much, but here I am getting all cozy with her, wanting to spend each waking moment with her, craving to be by her side and to see her beautiful smiles. The tiny, timid girl that I welcomed into my world came with a bulldozer, breaking down every last one of my defenses till there was nothing left to hide in.I had no other option but to come out of my shell to meet her halfway, to care for her, and to protect her with my life. I brushed off the hair covering her face while patting her gently as I cont
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Twenty-One
We landed at our New York home at 11:50 p.m. and we alighted from the helicopter, heading into the house. I went straight into my room, looked around for a while, landed on the bed with my back, and closed my eyes to reminisce about the events of the past few hours. My rest was cut short midway by a knock on my door. I opened the door, and it was one of Mace's men who brought my luggage. I took it from his hand and dragged it in. I placed it on the bed and was unpacking when I heard the door of Mace's room bang. I dropped the clothes I was holding and ran out of my room. I looked down the stairs to see Mace all dressed in a black outfit. He was giving orders to his men. I went down the stairs to meet him. He came to where I was standing, placed his hands on my hips, pulled me close to him, and my face was pressing on his chest. He patted my hair for a while, raising my face, and pressed his lips on mine."I will be back before you know it; don't miss me too much," he whispered with a
