Lahat ng Kabanata ng OWNED by MAFIA DON NERO: She's his to destroy : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

~ AMARA If someone had told me yesterday that I would be married to Nero De Santoro and be forced to attend a wedding reception in my own honor the next day, I would have laughed, cried, rolled on the ground, and then maybe slapped whoever suggested it. But here I was. Standing at the top of Nero’s massive marble staircase… in a red, body-hugging, off-shoulder velvet gown that had a slit from my mid thigh to the ground.My breasts were all but bared but I looked stunning.Fiona swore it made me “look like the Mafia Queen he wanted the world to bow to.” In truth,I wasn’t sure if I should be flattered or horrified. According to her ,Nero had ordered Vita to pick the dress for me,which was a tad surprising because judging by our animosity towards each other,she should have gotten me a dress for a stripper if you get my drift...after all she must have run a more than thorough investigation on my background.The only thing she didn't know .....the only thing nobody even Nero knew was

~Amara. The city was loud and alive and bustling with the news of Nero's missing bride. I slinked in the shadows the best I could and made it to the bar. The one I worked in two years ago. It was as if I had never left .I just made my easy straight to the storage area where they kept outdated strip wears and curled myself into a corner,knees drawn to my chest as I rocked on my butt. My breathing was shallow as I went through the events of the past few hours.I worried about my kids but I knew Nero would never harm them.They were his afterall .Even at that,I trusted Marco.If Marco said he'd protect my kids then by Jove,that's what he'd do. Suddenly I heard footsteps and I knew. I just knew. Light suddenly flooded the room .I blinked, momentarily blinded by the lights. I didn't resist when a pair of hands pulled me to my feet. He held me. I breathe in the musk of his scent. "Sorry...I can't protect you.Ive never seen him like this.You're actually driving him crazy

~ Amara I burst into the study with a surge of determined courage I didn't actually possess if not for my surge of angry jealousy as to why Vita got to sleep under my own matrimonial roof without my consent. The door flew open with so much force it slammed against the wall beside it. And just like that, the sight that met my eyes had my surging anger go down spiral. What the hell did I even think I as doing?Afterall Nero knew Vita since they were teens and for all I know,I could as well be a pawn between them . Vita was standing so close to Nero,her wisps of red hair tickled his raised chin as she helped him dress the collar of his shirt to perfection. I looked between them and saw that even though the collar was all perfectly done by now, Vita's hands still lingered around his columned throat.She was now knotting his tie with unhurried intimacy, her face tilted up toward him,her lashes lowered in practiced tenderness. And suddenly,I felt like the intruder...Like he and V

~ NERO. "Don't take your eyes away from them even for a second.Icll be there in a jiffy." I ordered Marco stiffly through the phone.I ended the call and was soon making a beeline for my car.I got in but just as I turned the key in the car's ignition,I heard a tap on the window. Frustrated,I rolled down the window and barked at Vita .She shrank visibly.I shut my eyes in regret instantly.Vita didn't deserve to be a sounding board for my sour mood . "Just wanted to know where you were headed?" "I'm going home,Vita." Home.i liked the way it tilled off my tongue.I was going to my family.Her face fell. "Oh"she said ...like she wanted to say more but was restraining herself." Well then ,I guess you should be on your way.my regards to Marco and ..." she hesitated,a brief jab of anger flashing in her eyes.".Amara.Icll stay back and keep you posted on further developments." Without a word to her ,I nodded ,rolled up my window and was pulling out of the club's driveway in no t

~ NEROThe sight stopped me cold.Marco had his arms around her.Not in any distant professional way as far as my eyes could see looking between them.I looked at Amara's still form and deduced she was still asleep.My eyes riveted back to the back of Marco's blonde hair.He was completely oblivious to his environment with his eyes closed and his hand patting her hair like she was some sort frightened animal.Something inside me snapped.A low, feral growl clawed its way out of my throat “And what,” I say very quietly, dangerously, “do you think you’re doing?”Marco stiffened immediately.I cracked my knuckles , narrowing my eyes.He turned slowly.My first connected so fast with his jaw ,he staggered from the brute force of it.Blood trailed down his chin..."And I said ,What were you doing with your arms around my wife?" I roared and grabbed the collar of his shirt to fling him across the room.He landed on a cart of medicine.Blindes by rage ,I made for him when he raised a hand in surren
