This fucking girl. I haven’t been able to get her out of my head, not since the moment I met her. She was sweet and delicate when we first met and my stone cold heart cracked for her, for all the little giggles and excitement she gave me at the small things I did for her. When we discovered what her father had planned for her to do I was furious. I felt stupid for letting my guard down around this girl that was sent to kill me and take my fortunes. I let the beast inside me take over and I was going to kill her, but she moved like she was a skilled and hardened warrior. She took out five of my guys and put a dagger in my chest, missing my heart but a whole centimeter. I looked into her eyes as I lay on the floor in my own blood holding the knife steady and she explained she never wanted any of this, that her father forced her and she had planned to tell me and ask for my help in taking him out. She said she was sorry and that she loved me, and then she kissed my forehead and ran away. In that moment I had realized just how perfect she was for me. I was well known for being an animal of a man, and now I knew that she was a fucking savage too. My savage, little, beast of a girl. She was made for me, and technically I already bought her from her father. After my men had saved my life from the attack it took a while to recover and by the time I went to track her down she had disappeared.
I had gotten a call a few months ago from one of my cousins. I have family members working secretly in other mafias to learn intel and gain access to their shipments, so I wasn’t surprised by him reaching out. That was until he had said ‘I’ve found her. I had flown across the country immediately to see for myself, but what I found was her on her knee’s bound and gagged in the middle of a fucking shoot out. I decided against grabbing her then, it seems my girl had found herself in some trouble. I’ve been waiting patiently, having my cousin work his way closer and now as one of her guards so that I can ensure I know every single little movement she makes. I’ll do whatever it takes to have her and give birth to my child just like she was always meant to. We will rule together as the most vicious power couple, and I will slaughter those men she thinks she loves as a welcome home gift. I know she will like that, her heart loves death just like mine.

We’ve been working overtime to clear my men. We’ve worked it down to a list of 115 who weren’t on guard posts, spotted on camera or with an alibi that holds. Not unusual as we have rotations, and my men are free to do what they like in their own time. We’ve cleared enough to be able to guard the house properly, but I have other issues with the club and shipments needing to be ran. I swear I haven’t slept properly in days and now I have to personally run a shipment today as there just isn’t enough people I can fully trust. Luca will come with me and Tony needs to go to the club to clear up some stuff there. Which means that Ariana needs to be left here alone or taken to the club with Tony. I’m at a loss for what to do as both options aren’t sitting well with me. Anything could happen outside of this house, but as I’ve been shown, anything could happen inside as well. I guess I’ll have to wake her up and ask what she wants to do. Being the Donna of this family, she’s supposed to be included in these decisions.
I make my way to our room and open the doors to see Luca and Tony but no Angel. Where is she? I turn to the bathroom and see the door open and make my way through to find her knelt in front of the toilet. Rushing over, I pull her hair away from her face and rub her back. Is the stress of all of this getting to her this bad?
“Hey Angel, you okay?”
*Yeah baby, I’m okay. Apparently eating a whole bucket of pickles doesn’t sit well with me“. I laugh and help her up.
“Probably not, amore.”
We walk back out to the bed where the guys are now waking up and she sits on the end. I kneel in front of her and check she’s okay before I
