"I'll work for you under one condition." I say. "What's that?" "You'll marry me", He smirks revealing breathtaking dimples "Are you sure about that?."

My Fortune Is Mine! 50. The D'erricos (Part one)
I backed away slowly, my heart thundering in my ears. "I...I need some air," I stammered out, the words feeling thick and clumsy on my tongue.My legs trembled like a newborn calf's beneath me, but I had to get out of this suffocating room. I had to escape the D'Erricos and the toxic cloud of violence and chaos that seemed to follow this family everywhere they went. Turning on shaky legs, I practically bolted for the door, the plush carpeting muffling my hurried footsteps. I didn't look back, didn't pause. I heard Diana's cries echoing behind me telling me to wait but I just ran blindly, my vision growing fuzzy around the edges as panic gripped me in its vice-like clutches.I didn't even know where to go everything seemed so hazy. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I burst through the doorway and skidded to a halt in the blessedly empty passageway. I immediately bent at the waist, hands braced on my knees as I gulped down precious gulps of air. But it didn't seem to be enough
My Fortune Is Mine! 49. The D'erricos
"This is the consequences of disobedience". I watched with a sinking feeling as the air in the room grew thick with palpable tension as Giovanni and Russo locked eyes, their silent stares brimming with pent-up hostility. An unsettling hush blanketed the space, the calm before an impending storm. I watch GIovanni's expression, it was expertly concelaed as always but the tight clench of his jaw, and the clench of his hands into white-knuckled fists at his sides, tendons straining against his skin as if he was physically restraining himself from lashing out betrayed his composure and the simmering rage bubbling just beneath the surface. Across from him, Russo appeared an eerie study in composure, Talia stood beside him, staring at us, not once did she blink. It seemed like nobody was bothered by what just happened, I looked around again and noticed how they all look inconspicuously at Russo and Giovanni. I on the other hand was this close to letting out a blood curdling scream and gett

My breath caught in my throat as I took in Talia's regal bearing, the confident tilt of her chin as she surveyed the crowd like a queen holding court. She looked dressed to kill, an image of the red queen herself. Her crimson gown seemed to smolder, her hair done up. She was clad in a regal hanbok, made of shiny red silk fabric that seemed to glow. The golden thread was sewn along the edges in pretty flower designs. A yellow outer robe went over the red dress, making her look very regal and important. The dress had a long skirt that flowed gracefully around her feet as she walked.Her makeup looked perfect. She had shimmery gold eyeshadow on her eyelids that made her eyes sparkle. Her eyebrows were nicely shaped, cheeks looked sculpted with blush and bronzer. But her lips were the most striking part. They were painted a deep, bright red color, like shiny red apples. Her hair was stylishly upswept and decorated with fancy jade and pearl ornaments and clips. A hush fell over the b
My Fortune Is Mine! 47. Something in the shadows
I watch as Diana shifts uncomfortably. "It was…a random attack. A random person." but her tone lacked conviction.I scoffed. "You're lying again, aren't you?", Frustration welled up inside me.Before Diana could respond, I whirled around, heading for the door. "You know what? I don't care anymore. I'm done with this charade."Suddenly, Diana's hand clamped on my arm, stopping me. Her grip was surprisingly strong. "Emily, wait! You have to listen to me." Her voice took on an urgent tone. "You can't trust anyone here. This whole gala is a trap. You need to get out, now!"I jerked my arm free, glaring at her. "And why should I believe a word you say?""Because I'm trying to protect you!" Diana hissed. "They're watching you, Emily. If you don't leave-"An earsplitting bang on the door made all of us freeze. The sound reverberated through the room, laden with menace. Diana's eyes went wide with fear, and Nam-son instinctively stepped in front of her in a protective stance.The atmosphere w

"I must say you're looking extremely fabulous tonight," He gives me a once over. I managed a polite courtesy. "Good evening Mr. D'Errico. It's good to see you again"He nods, that wolfish gaze sliding over to settle on Giovanni with a hint of sly amusement playing about his lips. "I'm glad you finally agreed to bring her along. What's a family gathering without her, hmm" He says. A tremor of unease went through me at his words. But I schooled my features into a neutral smile as Russo continued speaking."Julia, unfortunately, is unable to come, she sends her regrets for this evening," he stated, almost as an afterthought.Thank heavens for that! I grimace at the remembrance of the words she said to me the first time we met. That's one less pair of scornful eyes to endure. "A pity. My warmest greetings to her," I replied smoothly, unconsciously straightening my posture under the subtle weight of Russo's sharp gaze."I see you've met Gabriel, you two looked like you were about to st
My Fortune Is Mine! 45. All that glitters is not gold.
An aura of quiet power and self-assuredness seemed to radiate off Gabriel as he bends and kisses my hand tenderly. "The pleasure is all mine, Emily Rivera". His features were strikingly handsome - chiseled cheekbones, a strong jawline, full lips perpetually curved into a borderline smirk. But it was his eyes, dark as midnight, that were the most arresting. Hooded and glittering with a cunning intelligence. Not a single strand of his hair appeared out of place atop his head.He was impeccably dressed in a beautiful suit. The suit strained slightly across his broad shoulders and chest, hinting at the powerful physique lurking beneath the razor-sharp lines of the tailoring. A silver hoop earring graced his left earlobe. When he angled his body a certain way, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a small tattoo of a coiled snake on his chest, just peeking out from the crisp vee of his dress shirt collar. "It's so good to see my baby cousin again, although the last time we met, th

My Fortune Is Mine! 43. It's time.
"My apologies, Master, but you have a phone call," Darva announced, appearing almost out of thin air. "It seems very urgent."A flush of embarrassment crept up my cheeks as I instinctively tried to use Giovanni's broad frame to shield myself from Darva's view. Giovanni sighs deeply, pressing one more tender kiss to my forehead before reluctantly extracting himself from my embrace. "I'll see you later love" he murmurs ruefully.As he hauled himself out of the pool, rivulets of water streamed down his chiseled physique. I couldn't help but stare, transfixed for a moment by the tantalizing display. Giovanni shot me a roguish wink over his shoulder before turning to Darva."This had better be important," he stated firmly, wrapping a plush robe around himself. Darva simply inclined her head in response. "Of course, Master. Right this way."Giovanni paused at the door, turning back to me with those warm eyes that could so easily melt my doubts. "We'll continue this discussion later, try no

"Nam-son?!" I say in astonishment. Diana's eyes widened with fear as her hands wrung together anxiously. "But...what about Giovanni?" She had mentioned earlier that Talia wanted to kill him. She moved closer, gripping my hand tightly as if her life depended on it. "My cousin doesn't want to interfere with anything. He doesn't trust me." Her gaze dropped to the floor for a moment before locking with mine again, desperation etched on her features. "But I know you would...please."I was at a loss for words, taken aback by the fragile vulnerability she was displaying - a side of Diana I had never witnessed before. "What makes you think I can help you? What exactly is going on with Nam-son?" I'm unsure of whether to trust what she is saying. "I don't know for certain," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly, "but I think he's been taken..." She paused, taking a deep, steadying breath. "A few days ago, I received a message that Nam-son had been taken b-" She stopped abruptly as if t
