The rays of fresh morning light lingered on Nicole’s face, the window suddenly brightening, she lifted up the bed sheet as she stood up, stretching her legs as she yawned slightly.
Gazing around the whole room, it dawned on her, she wasn’t in her old room, this was her new room, where everything was deadly silent, the vibes gothic, cold and shrill.She stood up, still dressed in the clothes of yesterday, she walked towards the bathroom to brush her teeth, and after performing the rest of her routine, she opened the wardrobe wide, her eyes widening.He was getting married, and yet he didn’t even any female clothes, was he daring her to her worst? Because right now, her eyes blared with anger as she stumped down the stairs. He was there, seated on the chair, his legs moving freely crossed together, Zane stood firmly beside him, and he looked, like the king he was.She stood rooted in her steps, as her lips parted about, she remained quiet.His head cringed, and his dark eyes met in contact with her gray blues ones. His lips curled up in amusement, as he stood up walking towards her. "You are finally awake?"She gulped down nothing in particular, as she stepped back, fear etched in her heart, she didn’t know why, but there was something about his presence that brought dread to her heart.The feeling was cold, she couldn’t control it."Step back." She growled.He chuckled darkly, grabbing her chin. "You need to watch the way you talk."She sulked, her eyes glistening. "Let go of me, before I will do something you will regret."His firm hand tightened on her jaw before he finally released her, oh gosh, her jaw was on fire, it felt like it would snap into two.She stared up at him, panting heavily. "What did you just did?"He shrugged, his eyes trailing over to Lucas who kept his gaze down. "Take her to my room, she needs to learn the way people talk."Her Nicole needed to learn the way to talk? The word its self sounded illogical, was she some piece of trash?She stepped back, her gaze hollowing. "I hate you."His chuckled, quite darkly, it made her shiver, he leaned in, his hot minty breath making contact with her bare face. "Watch the way you speak, I am dangerous and I am sure you don’t want to get entangled with him. Let’s be good, and you living with me would not be any problem."Nicole shivered, this man, this man was the devil, she bobbed her eyes shut, she would just keep to herself. "I am sorry."Zane stared up.Xander snorted, walking away, he hadn’t even bothered to glance at her, his legs screeching to the floor as he walked away.Nicole stared in awe; but, she managed to keep her temper in control, Zane casted a pitiful look at her, before he walked away hurriedly.Was this how they lived in the house?Speaking of the house, Nicole stared around, the lights were a little bright, and the early crooning of birds could be heard, the living room was bright, with dangling lights on the ceiling."Don’t you need this?" A bag of towel reached for her face, and before she knew, the towel swiped across her jaw. She turned to look at the figure, he was broad, and his hair reached across his face, his dark eyes twinkled. He was a replica of the man that escorted her to her room yesterday.Yet, this man was different, his presence brought peace, something warm and fuzzy.She parted her lips apart, trying to say something, but, what was she supposed to say?"I am Zane by the way." The figure smiled, rather cheekily.He looked twenty, twenty one maybe."Thank you." she placed the towel to her jaw, letting out a whimper."Let me help," he lifted the towel to her jaw, letting the cold block melt away the pain.She winced, her eyes twinkling with pain."Don’t mention it, Xander’s has anger issues, I think, I once got my bones broken, but you will be okay." He reached the towel to her face, smoothing it carefully. "He has a soft heart,"She sighed wearily, "I have my plans."His eyes shimmered, and as, Nicole preserved, he was someone quite funny, and instantly, she was drawn to him."Let’s be friends." He held her arms, his voice growing low. "Don’t tell my brother though, he’s a strict maniac."Her lips curled upward a little bit, he was amusing, quite funny. "Never mind,"He tilted his head. "Don’t be worried, I am always here for you whenever you need me."She raised her brows, she was older, he was really something. She walked over to the windows, lifting the railings so she could catch a clear view of outside."It’s beautiful." She gazed around, watching the sky spark, and the clouds forming a gentle thunder, it was evident it was going to rain soon, still tiny sparks lightened around the room.Zane walked over to her. "The rain reminds me of my mother,"She kept quiet, judging from his current mood, he would rather not talk about his mother and as always, she would rather not ask about it."What does Xander does?" she said, her eyes still fixated on the window, her hands moving around the curtains.He was mute, his lips parted apart, and his hands rammed around his dark hair, how was he talking confidently with his boss’ wife, and telling her his job, wasn’t that crazy?"Err.." He peered down at her, her eyes bulged at him. Wasn’t he going to say anything?She sighed, walking away, but his hand pulled her back, and she landed on his broad shoulders."I am a mafia, my brother Lucas is a mafia prince and Xander is a mafia don."She widened her eyes in horror, trying to pull away from him, but he held her back, his hands not even daring to release for once.The corner of her face leaned on his chest, and she sighed in his grip.Mafia don?She almost knew, it didn’t seem bad, he was capable of running a whole ton, but did that even mattered.The two remained like that for nearly ten seconds, when a deep and broad masculine voice had boomed out. "What in the hell are you doing with my wife?"It was so quick, quicker than one could have ever imagined. In a fit, Zane was tugged in the collar harshly and before one knew it, his body flew to the other end of the room.Thud.His head hit the wall hard, and his body rolled on the wall, freshly amount of blood oozing from his wrist and down to his jaw then to his shirt.Nicole gazed in horror attempting to run to him, but before she knew it, her body was scratched to the wall. Her head balancing to the wall, she stared at Xander who had a dangerous growl on his face. His face etched around her body, blocking her from making any means of running."What in the hell were you doing?" His voice was cold, so much it pierced against her skin.For the first time, she whimpered in his harsh gaze, biting her lips. "Let me go," She cried out.His eyes increased with the same volume of anger, and his firm hand pressed her chest to the wall. "For the last time. What in the hell were you doing with him?""I was doing nothing!" She cried out.
In a fit, her hands were dragged up from the floor harshly, her lifeless body wriggling in their arms. They led her out of the dark room and into the light, the fresh amount of light lingered in her face as she managed to open her eyes, feeling the crept of light."Sit." A hazy voice resounded in her ears and she was pushed to the chair harshly, her body balancing on the chair.Pain.That was the only thing she felt that moment. She managed to Bob her lids open staring around. A women encircled her with a few other figures that she couldn't see properly.What's going on?The women led her from the chair and down into the tub, grabbing the sponge from the table, it squeezed against her face lightly.The water was warm and she melted in its embrace, smell of a flower scent wavered in the room. The women took great of her, from the bath, to the chopping of her nails, and to the dressing of her hair.She was dressed in a fashion sheath dress, a well fitted, straight cut dress, nipped at h
He had no intention to do something bad to her, not at all, he only wanted to torture her, to make her yell in pain. He didn't know why, but her pain brought relieve to his heart, her shrill scream made his heart race with enough pleasure.It was a lunatic thought, but who cares? her pain was his pleasure.He dropped the bottle on the nearby table, the sound almost piercing through her ears, he stood up suddenly, she shivered slightly under his intensifying gaze. He liked it when he knew she was scared of him. Pleasure ringed in his ears, he wanted more, wanted her to scream more.He walked towards her, a step at a time, his hot gaze wavering across her body, the step he took felt like a century, he was going to do something, Nicole was sure of it. Fear had gripped her heart so badly, her face squeezed together.She dropped to the ground, a loud thud evaporating through his ears, she had probably screeched her knee and blood drizzled out of her knee and down to her dress, her voice qu
"Young Master," The guards assembled before him, their head bowing indifferently.Nicole sighed as she walked into the fighting room, her eyes suddenly widening as she examined the whole room. The whole room was dark, a little bit of light, the wrestling ring, and the boxers clothes, and the men present, heck, they were so huge, their muscles firm and hard. They over crowded her immediately."Are you fighting with young Master?" One of them asked.Nicole casted them a dry look before walking towards the other side of the rink, but soon a heavy hand pulled her back causing her to stumble a bit."Ouch!" She muttered, rubbing her elbow. She gazed up at Zane, her eyes flashing with anger. "Why did you do that?"He sighed. "You are fighting with Xander? are you out of your mind? you will get your bones broken or even worse you whole body will be on fire. Don't do it." He said, his eyes flashing with nothing but worry.Countless of times, he had wrestled with Xander, and he would say, it w
Three days later, Nicole had forgotten all about him, she was going to stay in her home for a few weeks or even more month, she couldn't bear to see his face squeezed in anger, or his grim look which reminded her she was his possession.She grasped the bottle of water, letting the content touch her lips, it parted apart slightly. "Thank you for coming, Nicholas." She gazed at her twin brother, her eyes trailing around his body.Nicholas casted her a cheeky smile, his blue eyes shimmering in the light, and his inky brown hair scattered around his collarbones, yet, strands peeked out, making him look like a bad rockstar, but Nicholas Hart was no rockstar, he was New York most respected CEO, the heir of the Hart enterprise. "It's nothing," His head tilted over to her, the resemblance in their face popping a little. "It's been three years I was away, what changed?" He adjusted in her office chair, examining her office, still the same."How's Emily?" Nicholas asked, his fingers drumming a
Nicole inhaled a quiet sigh as soon as their eyes met, should she look away? should she walk forward? or just stare back at him. Her heart fluttered in fear, not fear of him, but fear of what he would do to her.She clutched the hemline of her dress firmly, inhaling slowly, yet tiredly.You can do this, Nicole. He's just a man. Her legs finally made movement and she walked over to his seat, before she pulled a chair and positioned her self on it.Xander's hands fiddled with the plate as he stared at her, her hair was tied into a bun, and her collarbones shined than normal, probably because of the dress she wore exposed every part of her collarbone, and that sinister glare etched around her face.Her face was hard, probably giving him goosebumps and her stare, so rough. Her brows knitted in confusion, telling him to carry on with his words."Nicole," He began, with a low cough.She tilted her head, her brows clinking upward, before she grasped the cup of water and gulped down a little
As Xander trailed outside, with his shades on and his legs hurriedly trampling the floor, Lucas walked behind him, with the same level of pace, and far behind them, Zane walked, his hands across his chest, probably, he was in a deep thought, as numerous sighs escaped his chapped lips."What do you wanted to talk about that was a problem?" Xander said, not even daring to reduce his footsteps.Lucas clutched the tab, as he bit his lower lips. "Your were house was attacked last night.""What?!" Xander stopped, turning back, his jaw chiseling in anger.Lucas stopped in his tracks, "I don't know the full details, but it was attacked and the supplies was stolen last night, I was just informed." He lowered his head.Xander's hand flew across his jaw, who had dared to attack his were house? if he found that person, damn, he would peel the person's chin by himself."Which were house?" He asked, this time, he resumed his walking over to his car."The one in Italy," Lucas twitched his lips. "A w
Internally, she shivered when his hands made for the crook of her neck, his hot minty breath flattering on her bare skin. "You came." His voice came out rough, rowdy, and she didn't even knew she was already pushed to the corner of the wall, his head buried deeply in between her neck.She nodded gently, a sigh escaping her lips, what in the heck was he trying to do? was he trying to take advantage of her? She whimpered, her hair flipping over to a corner of her face.Her blood boiled in rage, and she pushed him aside rather harshly, shivering in disgust, she gazed up at him, looking in his lobes, something sparkled there, it made her wince, he was looking at her intently, his eyes piercing to her very soul.She felt something dark in his presence, his hands flew over to her chin, and his lips twitched rather upward, a dark chuckle escaping his lips.She was scared, for the first time, Nicole Hart was scared.Something sparked in his eyes, something dangerous, she was being drawn, she
