So, what do you guys think? Let me know in the comment below! ❤️ X O X O
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I couldn't bring myself to look away from the bed and its pristine sheets. They seemed to be mocking me, almost as if they were a trap waiting to ensnare me. He was my husband, after all. I knew that. But the fact that I had confided in him about not being a virgin was now weighing heavily on my mind.Maybe I should just tell him the truth. But then again, what good would that do? He probably wouldn't believe me anyway. And with everything that had happened at the church, it seemed like everyone, including the Underboss, had already made up their minds about me. It felt like I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of judgment and shame.I was the woman who ran away with two men... I felt his presence behind me, way too close, god, he was way too close. My heart hammered against my chest. Then I felt his touch on my skin and a gasp left my lips. I couldn't believe how good it felt to have his warm touch against my cold skin. My body was reacting to him in ways I never
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I relentlessly splashed water on my face, repeatedly, to extinguish the raging fury that engulfed me. My fists clenched the smooth porcelain sink, and I glared at my crimson eyes, reflecting my uncontrollable wrath. The facade of makeup had vanished from my face, and I refused to wear the nauseating outfit he had left for me. No way, I would never stoop that low.It had been ten minutes or so since I ran back upstairs. His phone was still ringing but I couldn't care less for it now. After I ran away from my wedding and got captured within a week, my whole life had been upside down. The threats, the shaming, and my grandfather's miserable face had broken my spirit.I couldn't believe my grandpa, the one person who claimed to love me above all else, kept all of this from me. The underboss had no reason to lie to Capo, what he told him was the truth. Grandpa even expressed his desire for me to marry the underboss to me too. I had turned him down but I never knew that h
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I watched as she slammed the door shut, the clicking of the lock told me that she had plans for staying in the en suite tonight. If that's what she fucking wants! She can cry her fucking eyes shut for all that I care. Fuck getting married! I was already regretting this shit. I tried to be a charmer with her to charm my way between her legs and I almost succeeded but she fucking decided to eavesdrop on my conversation with my brothers. I told her that I owned her and what did she say? No?! She said no to me! The nerve of this girl. As if she hadn't rejected me once before she fucking did it again. How many men have been rejected by their wives on their wedding night? That pissed me off. She was mine for the time being, and I’d do whatever I goddamn pleased with her.But I couldn't fucking force her into my bed. I know my moral compass is a bit off, but I want a woman to want me in bed. I want the woman to burn for my touch, to ache for me. It's never been an issue be
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"So?" Evangeline asked in a low voice as we sat down around the table to get breakfast. The men were sitting in front of us but they were too busy talking about the Cosa Nostra to pay attention to our conversation. "How was he? Was he nice to you or do we have to beat him up?" Delilah asked in a low voice. "He didn't push you, did he? We all know he is a jerk," Evangeline added, putting her hand over mine as I stared at them confused out of my mind as to what to tell them. "We..." I gave my head a gentle shake, "We didn't..." I only said and they understood.All of their eyes went wide at first, their heads snapped in his direction before getting back to me. I don't know what was so funny but the next second they all burst into a fit of laughter. The men also turned their attention towards us, the Underboss raised an eyebrow as if asking me what had happened. "Please, tell me it was you who turned him down and I'm pretty sure it was you," Evangeline whispered.
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─She placed her hands over her hips and asked, "Where's Scott? He told me to be here tonight." Glenna too put her hand over her hips, "Who let you in?" She eyed Glenna as if they weren't on the same level. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out the card almost identical to the one the Underboss had used to get into the private elevator."Scott gave me the key. Now where is he?" she demanded placing the key back into her bag. I chewed on my bottom lip, "He isn't at home, but he will be in a few hours," I told her. This is his life. This is the way he lives. I should get used to it because I don't know how long I'll be here. Women will go in and out of this apartment day and night. I know because Chiara longed to be one of those women.The woman examined me up and down in a very condescending way, "And you are?" she asked. Not knowing what to say, I said, "I'm Allegra." "The new maid?" I shook my head but before I could say anything, Glenna spoke up, "His wi
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Don't you dare touch me with the same hands you've laid on another woman," I said. It's not that I was jealous or hurt about what had happened a few hours ago, I was just disgusted. I know he had already taken a shower after Cindy left but I just couldn't stomach his touch right after what he did. I glanced at him and noticed how his eyes had darkened, narrowing from the corners. He seemed angry, pissed off. I pursed my lips and turned my attention back to the view.I could feel him watching me, his scrutinizing gaze was burning holes into the side of my head. Suddenly, my insecurities hit me with full force. What was he looking at? He was already quite disgusted with my looks, was he trying to find more flaws to point out? I crossed my arms over my chest. "Allegra," he called my name, dark and low, "You have no right to act as a jealous wife after you had drinks with your husband's fuck buddy. What kind of wife does that?" he asked, as he took a step closer an
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Allegra, I'm giving you another chance—" Niko said and for some reason, it pissed me the fuck off. She was my responsibility as well as my wife. I promised to keep her safe, and I will do whatever it takes to fulfill that promise. Nobody messes with what's mine. Linus gave her to me to keep her safe not to fucking torture her. I was struggling to avert my eyes from her, but her trembling voice was piercing through my chest and making it damn near impossible. Deep down, I could feel that if I dared to glimpse at her and caught even a glimpse of a teardrop rolling down her cheek, I would snap in anger. And trust me, she wouldn't want to see that side of me."Scott..." she said in a shaky voice and something snapped into me.The sound of my name on her lips for the first time made my heart skip a beat. Usually, I was addressed as "Sir" or something formal, but hearing her say my name ignited a different emotion in me. My eyes snapped to her and I noticed the glistenin
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"You can't dress like that at night and expect me to not pounce on you..." his voice was almost above a whisper, his eyes going up and down my frame. I had asked Glenna to not bring me clothes that show off more skin and she hadn't, the clothes weren't so revealing but the nightdresses... this one was the most decent of the lot. I tugged at the hem of the dress to bring it a little down, "That's the most modest one..." I told him, "The rest, well, they are more revealing." His eyes forest green eyes darkened, narrowed at the edges, "Hm..." The air in the room turned thick with weird heated energy. He kept staring at me as if he was ready to forget all about the words he said to me. I made my way to my side and sat on the edge of the bed; my back facing him, "I really don't know what they were talking about. I ran away because Aldo was everything I didn't want. Silvio and Enrico took me away—"He cut me off mid-sentence, "Because they loved you?" I nodded, still
