Zoey p.o.vToday's weather is sunny and warm, embracing your skin like a blanket in winter. I'm currently sitting in the living doing nothing actually, staring blankly at the TV. There is a program going on, but I wasn't paying any attention to it. My mind is going over yesterday's event, from the party to the mind-blowing sex with Marco. Okay, let me be honest, my mind was stuck in the later part. Thinking of it still gives me goosebumps. “Zoey!” Rebecca high pinch voice startled me back to reality. “You won't be this, have you seen the news?” She asks excitedly, taking her seat beside me. “No.” I shook my head, honestly it completely skipped my mind that the medias were there, and I'm certainly going to be on the news. “Girl! You are making headlines on all news channels.” Rebecca I was speechless, gaping at her like a fish out of water. I'm sure my eyes are bulging out of their socket. “Here, watch this.” She pass me her phone, I began scrolling through her Instagram wall.
Zoey p.o.vThe warm weather was what welcomed me the second I came out of the plane, the sun was at its perk. But for some reason it was calm and tender on the skin, wrapping me like a warm blanket.Then the breeze, blowing softly, soothing your skin, and easing any tension in the air. It is just me or is the weather different, and the air foreign.Of course, it has to be, I am in a foreign land.I didn't have an opportunity to enjoy it like any average person would, stretching out their limbs and embracing the foreign air. Instead, I was hurriedly led to the SUV parked a few feet from the plane.Marco's securities were surrounding us and lead us to the car. This is not the type of vacation I was hoping for, I wanted to lie low and just enjoy myself here. I'm losing the freedom and advantages I had as an average person, I'm in no way regretting my involvement with Marco. Immediately, we entered the car, Marco went back to his phone. He has been this way since we embarked on the long
Zoey p.o.vMarco was not home when I arrived, I guess he went about his business. It was just Camila and Isabella settling in, in their rooms.Rebecca has gone home, as we had discussed earlier in the plane, and she will be here tomorrow morning to taking touring around Italy.Something I am excited about, I can't wait to tour the place people can't shut up about.A maid led me to my room, it was already past six, so I decided to take my bath.I am still full when they came to call me down for dinner, and fatigue, all I wanted to do was just laying on the bed and embrace the sleep that has been calling out my name.•••“Zoey, it's past ten already, we should go to bed.” Camilla yawn, trying to fight off the sleep. “Yeah, I think Marco is going to come home late today.” Isabella supported immediately, both of them are exhausted from the long trip but are too stubborn to go and rest. Saying they want to accompany me. “You two need to rest, don't forget I just woke up not too long ago
Marco p.o.vHer pussy squeezes my dick like a vice and she cries out breathlessly. "Get me jealous next time and I will punish you more severely." My hands gliding towards the front of her body and capturing her nipples between my fingers. I pinch them so hard that she yelps and her entire body jolts. Her nipples are hard as fuck and stiffen more as I roll them tantalizingly. "Yes daddy." She whispers back, her hips rock back and forth on my thighs and my cock twitches inside of her. My mind shifted to another scene where I had taken her against the bathroom wall. The cold water bounce on my back as I shield her with my body, going in and out of her, supporting her right leg up for more opening. My eyes were pinned to the movement of my cock disappearing in and out of her, visibly coated and slick with her arousal. My abdomen clenched in warning, my balls tightening with the familiar sensation of an orgasm. She feels fucking right and warm around me. "Fuck," I rasp under my br
Zoey p.o.vWe are trapped.Silence fell on the room, with great tension hanging in the air. My breathing slow down as I took in everything, they were forging oblivious to our presence.Not acknowledging us, or intentionally hanging us in suspense. Camila and Isabella cower to my side, both of them held on to my hand. I couldn't dictate what Camila was feeling, but I could easily feel the fear radiating off Isabella.I was panicking inwardly, but I try not to show it out, I know better than to let my enemy perceive my fear.“Observations…. Observations.” The man on the chair spoke up, bringing his gaze upon us. He wasn't very handsome, but he had the most beautiful pair of sea green eyes, they are dreamy and alluring.His left fingers tapping on the armrest softly, his legs crossed over the other in a typical Mafia boss way, while a cigarette in between his right fingers.He brought the cigarette up to his mouth, I watch as his lips parted before wrapping on the cigarette. He dragged f
Zoey p.o.vMy brain was clogged when I regained consciousness, my sight foggy. “You took your sweet time waking up, Bambi.” I heard the voice of the man who took us, I still don't know his name or who he is.But of course, he's one of Marco's enemies.His words made me snap out of the foggy state, hastily look around for Camila and Isabella, they were both chained against a chair on each side of me.Both of them are wide awake, I assume they were waiting for me to wake.I noticed the chains on my hands, but I wasn't chained against the chair, the same way they chained my legs together.I glare at him, he was calmly sitting before us. He smiled viciously at me when he felt my glare on him.“No need to glare at me my love.” He teased, that only intensifies my glare. “Stubborn Woman.” He shook his head at me but made no move, he simply took a gulp from the glass of alcohol in his hand.Silence stretch upon us, nobody said anything. It was as if they were silently mocking us, or they wer
Zoey p.o.vMarco majestic presence dominated the huge hall, his power is evident. The look he cast on Pierre and his men was that of a predator intimidating his prey.Most of Pierre's men cower in fear at his presence, Marco's brutality is no secret in the Mafia world, especially when he's challenged publicly.Even when Marco hasn't come back to my life, and I was just a simple girl, living an ordinary life. I knew about Marco's ruthlessness, so of course they are well aware of who just came in.“How did you get in?” Pierre foolishly asked, there was slight hint of fear in his voice.Isn't it obvious?“The question should have been, how did you found our location?” Marco moves towards Pierre with strength that emanates from him with every move.“Daytime robbery in my territory, that's suicidal. A dangerous move for a next in-line Don.” Marco hissed.“Your territory?” Pierre scoffed mockingly. “Too bad you have too many snakes around you.” I know who he's referring to, Rebecca. She's
Marco p.o.v“You picked the wrong person to work with, Pierre.” I threw at him.He just finished the call with the mastermind behind this whole stunt. Pierre is just a scapegoat for the mastermind, if he succeeds with the plan he will keep him by his side to use in disguise as subordinates.If he doesn't succeed, I will kill him, which is a win-win for everybody.“What do you mean.” Pierre glares at me, his stare speaks a lot about his intention of wanting to see me dead.I laughed, waving him off. He's not my problem, and I won't definitely won't harm him. Yet, not until his partner gets here, no one crosses me and go unscathed.“Do you really think he's going to help claim your position?” I ask him absent-mindedly.“You don't know anything.” He hissed.“Oh? I don't know anything, but I do know he's just using you.” I took a sip from his glass of alcohol.“Cheap drinks.” I commented, a few minutes ago he was sitting high and mighty on this chair. Gulping the alcohol down his throat,
Melanie’s POVI took a quick shower and went down to the kitchen where Alice was.“That looks better than any pizza I’ve ever had,” I said.“Americans don’t know how to make pizza,” she replied.“I believe you now.”Through dinner, I told her about the surgery opportunity and how many of the nurses believed I was the most likely choice.“That sounds very exciting,” she said.“It is more than exciting,” I said. “This would be my first surgery and it is a very complicated procedure.”“Anyone ever told you that you get this glint in your eyes when you’re talking about your job?” she asked and I shook my head."Now you know. Seeing you talk about your work reminds me of how I feel when I'm cooking or learning a new recipe," she said.“But you’ve never even seen me do my job,” I said.“I don’t need to. It’s all in the eyes. Someone who lights up this much talking about her jo
Melanie’s POV“I know this smile,” I said. “That’s your I have good news smile and I wonder what could have possibly put that smile on your face.”“Let’s go clock out first,” she said.“We both clocked out before heading to the changing room but, Hayley pulled me into the restroom first.“Jeez! You need to stop dragging me places like I’m a child, Hayley,” I said.“You’re right, I do have news!” Hayley said after checking the stalls to make sure they were empty.I sighed, of course, she would ignore what I said. Nobody could make Hayley do anything."Yeah, I figured as much when you couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear," I said. "What is it? Did the hot doctor ask you out on a date or something?"“Oh, that would be a dream but that’s not the news I have,” she replied.“Then what is it?” I asked and she frowned at me."I can't believe you forgot already," she said.“For
Melanie’s POVI didn’t speak for fear that, Hayley might laugh and tell me she was joking all along. I allowed myself to process what she had said thinking I might have heard her wrong.“Say something, Melanie. Aren’t you excited?” Hayley asked.“I don’t know,” I whispered and she frowned.“You don’t know if you’re excited?”“No, I don’t know if what you said is real or you’re just trying to mess with me,” I said.“You think I would joke about a surgery as complicated as a Whipple!?”“I don’t know what to think, okay!” I replied. “I thought student nurses weren’t allowed to scrub in on surgeries.”"It's not a strict rule. Doctors choose interns for their surgical team all the time. How else do you expect to learn?"”This is really exciting,” I finally allowed myself to admit. “How did you find out?”She shrugged. “You know me, I have my ways and I never disclose my sources but en
Melanie’s POV I woke up feeling way more rested and energized than I felt yesterday. Adriano’s shirt was extremely comfortable to sleep in but no way was I admitting that to him, ever. I wasn’t the only one that noticed the difference. Hayley smiled at me when I got to the nurses’ station. “Someone looks good today,” she said. “Please don’t start,” I begged. “I didn’t do anything, Melanie. I was just pointing out the obvious,” she replied. "Yeah, I slept well. Are you happy now?" I asked. “Well… I guess you could say so,” she replied. Just then, Kelly walked up to us and my smile faded. “Good morning, guys,” she greeted in a chipper voice. “Good morning, Kelly,” I replied while Hayley rolled her eyes and ignored her. “Hayley, are you still mad about the other night?” Kelly asked. “But I already apolo
Melanie’s POVI didn’t expect such an intense reaction from, Adriano. In fact, I didn’t think there was even a cause to make a big deal but boy did he prove me wrong.Not only was he freaking mad, he also looked ready to take the shirt off me by himself. Thankfully, I was able to use the distraction caused by, Alice to escape him. If not for her, Adriano would have succeeded in stripping off my shirt in the middle of the living room.And the thing that shocked me the most was that, even though I was surprised and a lot confused by his intense reaction, I would have let him take the shirt off me. The only reasonable explanation I had for his behavior was jealousy.Adriano was jealous of a man he had never even met. Albeit, the man was my dad but it made me feel flutters in my belly and I smiled at the memory of it.Hopefully, now that he knew the shirt belonged to my father, he would let me wear it in peace.The sound of a knock on my door distracted me and I groaned.I honestly would
Adriano’s POVI like to think of myself as a somewhat patient man, but Melanie has been testing my patience for a while now and I was just about done with this shit.Whoever said patience was a virtue didn’t know what the fuck they were talking about.When she came down this morning, looking tired and sleep-deprived, I felt so guilty because I had kept her up till late and probably messed with her sleep schedule. I felt somewhat better when, Ralph reported to me that, Aria went to have lunch with her in the hospital. At least I was so sure she wasn't skipping her meals even though what I really wanted was to be with her.Then Ralph called in the evening and told me she was insisting on going to her apartment and I let her go because I was still making up for last night.However, my patience died the moment I came into the house and saw the shirt she was wearing.A proper glance at it and I immediately knew that the shir
Melanie’s POV I stared at, Alice expecting her to react to what I just said but she gave me nothing. Only took a sip of her tea and stared into space.“You’re not saying anything, Alice. That’s scary,” I said.“I don’t know what you want me to say,” she replied.“Just say something, anything apart from this silence would be great,” I begged.“I’m trying to figure out why you would look so sad about the prospect of seeing your family,” she said. “Don’t you want to see them?”“Of course I want to see them,” I replied.“Then I don’t see what the problem is. You should be happy.”“I guess it’s pretty obvious what the problem is,” I said.Alice stared at me with a blank expression on her face.“I can’t go for obvious reasons,” I said waving a hand around the house.“Because of, Mr. Alfonso?” she asked and I nodded.She smiled and shook her head. “When are you ever g
Melanie’s POVBy the time I got downstairs, Alice had already set out my food on the dining table.“That took a while,” she said.“I know, got a phone call from my parents,” I replied. “You didn’t have to set my food on the dining table, I could have eaten with you in the kitchen like we always do.”“No, I thought it would be nice if we ate together in a different setting but I got tired of waiting for you so I ate first,” she explained.“That’s okay, I understand, as long as you keep me company while I eat. I don’t think I’m ready to be alone,” I answered.“That’s not a problem,” she replied.I sat down and stared at the spread on the table. “Wow, you really went all out for dinner tonight and it all looks delicious,” I complimented.Alice took a seat across from me, smiling. “Thank you dear, I made rice and peas. It’s a Jamaican recipe I got off the internet,” she replied.“We
Melanie’s POVI didn't realize I wasn't saying anything until, Mom said, "Hello… are you still there?"I cleared my throat and replied, “Uhm… yes, I am. Sorry about that I got a little distracted.”“That’s okay, but did you hear my question,” she asked.“Could you repeat it?” I demanded, wanting to be sure that I heard her right."I asked if you would like to come home for Thanksgiving," she said.A few weeks ago, I would have been elated. Scratch that, I would have been over the moon an jumping on the chance to see my family but now, as much as I wanted to see them, I didn’t have the freedom to say yes.I could literally feel, Mom’s impatience through the phone, she was anxious for my answer and I had to be careful with my next words."I would love to come home for Thanksgiving, Mom," I replied slowly.“This wasn’t the kind of reaction I was expecting when I asked you the question s
