Third

narration

Everyone in Range View highschool knew Leona Kingstone.

She was the whole package, beauty and the brains,not to mention her kind personality , she was every high school boys wet dream , with an Italian father and her mother being an African American woman of a few words, Leona was the perfect tan that models paid thousands to have.

She had a tall figure and a body of a Victoria Secrets runaway model in the making. She had spiral curled silky black locks she’d inherited from her father. She had light hazelnut brown eyes from her mother with specks of gray she got from her father.

Although she was popular,she wasn’t a bratty person,sure she hung out with her own circle of friends but she didn’t obsess over her social status in school,or bullied anyone, or was obsessed over her diet or anything like that.

Girls wanted to be like her, guys wanted her but she just turned them all away cause for one- her deal was already signed away by her parents in order to pay off debts.

The deal to be married to Marciano Scorpious Vasilevosky.

She was already engaged off at the age of 16 when she came to find out about her great grandparents contract with a powerful Italian family promising to marry of the eldest great grandchild to their own great grandchild in order to keep the peace treaty of the contract. Therefore Leona saved herself from having a heartbreak when she was suppose to return to Italy to marry her fiance since 16, Marciano Scorpius Vasilevosky, the heir of both the Russian and Italian Mafia.

At the age of 16, she had promised herself she wouldn’t get attached to any guy simply because she was already engaged and didn’t want the heartbreak if there were still small strings attached.

Even though Marciano still slept around after knowing the engagement with Leona, he couldn’t seem to get his mind off the picture showing Leona in her early teen years. She was playing at a baseball game and he’d thought of her as the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. But Marciano had a dangerous life,if he got attached to his fiance, she would become his weakness,so he does everything in his power to break her heart and push her away.

What happens when she’s given up the last straw,walking in on her husband during their family dinner getting it on with one of the maids.

•••••••••

“Why are you crying Leona?is something wrong?” Marciano asks with a knowing smirk as he sees his wife sitting on the edge of the bed.

His heart hurt when he saw his wife wiping away her tears but he had to force on the act to keep his wife away from the danger of his career….

“Just clean up and come downstairs before they become suspicious” Leona says whispering slightly as she walks passed Marciano and closes the door behind her softly.

••••••••

“That was the last straw Marciano, I’m done with your bullshit. You have been nothing but a dick to me these past few months. You’re my husband for Pete’s sake,at least try to make this work! If not for me,then for your reputation! People are talking!just last night they saw you getting cozy with another woman in your yacht. I get it,you like fooling around but please do it behind close doors. You can keep your money,and all the things in my closet side. I’m leaving tonight for new York” she says as she pulled out the engagement ring she had on along with her wedding ring and placed it softly on the table next to their wedding frames of them faking affection on the camera.

That night, Leona Kingstone was never the same sweet Leona. She had built her walls so high and hard that no one could climb it or break it down. People change for two main reasons,their eyes have opened,or their hearts have been broken…..

Her modeling and acting career took a turn for the best and she became one of the most wanted bachelorette in America. She refused all of her shares from the divorce and continued her study in university that she stopped when she married Marciano.

Marciano had never been the same either that day. He’d stopped his player ways and began picking himself off from the careless person he used to be. He hated when Leona refused to see him or talk to him when he called but he guessed that was what he wanted. To break Leona’s heart so they could break off their marriage and he could be a free man.

But now since he was a free man, he wanted nothing more than to get back his title of Leona’s husband.

Would Leona take him back? Even after the shit he’s done?

A part of Leona had fallen in love with Marciano but she had to remind herself that Marciano was always going to be the same person, a player who broke her heart.

Or did he change somewhere in the middle of the drama?

“Leona pudding, can you please come here” I heard papa say as I left my sketchpad on my bed along with my dark led pencil and followed my father out to his office where my mother was sitting with a kind smile she always had on her face.

“Leona, what we’re about to tell you,you need to think like a very mature grown up person,alright?” Papa says making me nod.

He pulled out a manilla folder and I brush a strand of my silky curly locks away from my eyelash.

After reading the whole contract, I was shocked. I looked up at my dad and then my mother as she gave me a sad smile.

“I……..I don’t know what to say” i said as I tucked my curly brown hair behind my ear.

“Honey, this contract as you’ve read was made by my parent’s parents, your grandna and grandpapa. Its a contract stating that unless and until you get married,your share of wealth passed onto you from your grandparents will be in the hands of the law unless and until you fulfil these last wishes of your great grandparents” I scrunched my brows in confusion.

“I…..I don’t understand papa, I can’t get the shares unless I marry?I’m only 16” I said as I stared down at the floor.

I don’t want to get married….AND TO A TOTAL STRANGER AT THAT!

I don’t care about the wealth, I can make my own- earn my wealth, work hard for it.

“What are you not telling me?” I mean, there has to be something more.

“Our family is in debt to them. If we don’t agree, your mother and I will both lose everything we’ve worked so hard for” dad says looking sad and I feel my heart shatter.

I can’t do this to my parents!they worked so hard for what they had,and now it’s gonna be taken away from them just because I was being bratty and I didn’t wanna agree to marry this stranger.

I sighed. But what if I find the love of my life before I get married? I guess I should just keep to myself and not get attached to any guy out there.

I nod in agreement. “Ok, I’ll do it”

Afew years had passed now and by that I mean 2 years exactly since I agreed to that marriage contract.

I strictly followed up on my plan to not get attached to any guy in order to avoid getting my heart broken during my official wedding day.

I’m now 18 years old, I go to Range View Highschool and I’m the school body president. I can say I’ve developed over the years, I’d trained out more, acknowledging the fact that my future husband and fiancé is part of the mafia, I don’t wanna be the damsel in distress type of girl so I decided to learn to defend myself.

I did kick boxing classes with my trainer, Nick. I have flossy,smooth natural tan skin tone and thanks to a lot of Veet wax product,my skin is soft and smooth all the time.

My hair reaches past my ribs and they’re always in their natural silky spiral curls hair type and its brownish black now. My eyes are still the light hazel ones with specks of gray,only darker gray this time.

I’m 5’9 and I play baseball for the schools all females team. I fortunately go to a public high school around here.

I do take my boxing classes with my trainer like I’ve mentioned but I do my individual workout running every morning around the estate premises for an hour before school and every afternoon on my treadmill in my room to stay in shape.

I put some body butter on my skin as it glowed against the lighting of my bedroom makeup mirror in my bathroom.

I patted down my outfit. Casual black baggy yoga pants , white Jordans, a plain white cropped shirt leaving my flat toned belly on display showing off my belly piercings, the white crop shirt says SLAY on it in black prints…

I pulled my hair up in a ponytail that left my spiral curls down my back swinging side to side.

I quickly put on light make up,the usual- mascara over my long lashes,and some lip gloss seeing as my face was fine now.

I walked out of my room, grabbed my ready packed school bag and phone that was charging from last night and walked downstairs seeing my dad sitting by his usual seat in the kitchen island stool reading today’s paper while my mom made us breakfast.

“Good morning pudding” dad says as he greets me good morning.

“ good morning dad“ I said pecking his laid out bearded cheek to me which he always did every morning.

I kissed my mother’s cheek as she made pancakes for us.

Yum. My favourite.

“Morning ma” I said as I pulled out the tin of Cad bury hot chocolate powder making a mug of hot chocolate for myself. Mum as cheery as I am as a morning person, gives me an even brighter smile with a cheerful good morning.

“How is school princess?” Dad asks as he closes the paper and folds it placing it beside him as mum places a plate – a mountain of breakfast in front of my father who looks lovingly at my mum with a peck to her lips.

“Thank you love” dad says and mum smiles going to make another plate for herself and I.

“Its good. We have to come up with ways to raise money to fund for the junior basketball team’s new jerseys this weekend for their first nationals games . The committee thinks we should host a carnival in town since its nearing winter and these things won’t be happening during winter seasons due to the snow and stuff,it’ll be too risky then,so we have agreed,of course I have to go through background checks for safety insured reasons as to what might happen if someone gets hurt or any kid gets lost or any possible circumstances, there will be students from school specifically assigned for those reasons. It’ll be 100 % safe and fun. We do have the principal’s approval and he’s overlooked every detail that might need more attention in and since that’s not the case,he’s agreed. We’re not only hosting the towns carnival but we’re also raising more than enough money to even get the seniors baseball females team some new equipments for next season. And if this goes better than we expected,we can have prom after party at Onyx” my dad stared at me giving me a confused look as he held his chin looking at me like I’m a confusing puzzle.

“What?” I asked as I sipped on my hot chocolate.

“I dunno. Its just, what was the greatest thing I did to not only deserve a beautiful and smart wife but also an even more beautiful daughter with words that I don’t even know is simple English” he says making both mum and I laugh.

“Honestly!” He exclaims, and mum shakes her head smiling.

“She gets her very good looks from her mother” she says teasingly and I smile at the two as they dozed off on their own conversation.

After breakfast I quickly peck my parents cheeks before I left, fishing out my car keys from my pocket I clicked the unlock button and my car made a sound unlocking itself as I walked over to where it was parked and got in.

Upon arriving at school, I smiled seeing some people staring at me. I walked excusing myself politely as I passed through the students.

“Morning Lee!” One of the students say.

“Good morning” I say waving politely before I continued walking down the hallway to my locker. This good morning greetings continue for a little longer until I’m in the reference section in the library looking for this workbook on Business Law and Communication.

Aha! Found it!!!

I pulled it out and walked to the librarian, Mrs Porter, a teacher in her late forties. I’m a regular student around here despite my populars social status.

“Good morning Leona,what brings you here?” She asks as I hold up the book.

“Business law?I never pegged you one to take business law dear, you’d make a great career in the modeling world” I laughed a little feeling my dimples show.

“Oh no Mrs Porters. I’ll try modeling maybe another time. For now, I’m thinking about the business law field,but I’m not too sure though, it gets kinda hard when you’re a top A science student and senior graduate of art classes” I said with a humorless laugh.

“Well, I wish you the very best with your studies Leona” I smiled.

“Thank you. Have a nice day Mrs Porter and congratulations on your first grandchild” I said handing her a congratulations gift card and a small gift bag from my school bag, where I bought a blue and gray onesie from Pur.com, a baby supplies company, it had the words

Grandma’s

Little

Trouble

🙈🙉🙊

“Oh my,thank you so very much Leona” I heard her say as she lifted up the onesie. I also bought the baby some furry boots for the winter season,they are good use as socks and shoes too,either way.

“Its alright Mrs Porter,I’ll be going now. Have a nice day” I said politely as she waved back looking at the onesie suit and furry shoe socks- also from Pùr.

I walked down the hallway to my first class,  getting the casual greeting of good mornings and love your outfit compliments.

I walked into class taking my seat as school began.

••••••••

The lunch hour came around and I found myself conversing with my three best friends Vanessa, Grace and Chelsea.

I also have another best friend,her name is Kaycee— she is the party animal between all four of us. Chelsea is like the positive vibes,cheer leading captain, and Vanessa is shy like Grace. But Grace is the most shyest from all four of us girls. Vanessa is like co captain and also a very happy person. More like a dumb blonde kinda of happy type of person.

Grace is in my Bio class and that’s where we met.

It took some time in order to break her out out’ve her shell but never the less we still did. Grace is part of the school’s band team and Vanessa is co captain in the cheer leading team. Kay is in the baseball team too,she’s a pitcher in our team and a pretty good one at that. Unfortunately, not as good as me.

“Hello?earth to Leona?” I heard Vanessa snap me outve my train of thoughts.

“Huh?” I asked confused.

“We were talking about your upcoming fund raising carnival. We should totally do a kissing booth” Vanessa gushed.

“Yeah,and the hot guys in our school should definitely join. Omg girls,this is gonna be the best senior year ever!” Chelsea says in excitement and I smile.

I guess….

“And the winner is the guest team, Gold Paw Panthers, Range View High school!!woohoo!!give it up for the team everybody!” The crowd goes wild as we pitched in the last five minutes and got the final score against the Black Boas of the next 2 town away from ours.

I smiled hugging my team as they hoisted me up and I laughed seeing our Panther costumed person run to the field making the crowd go wild as he does summer saults. They put me down as I fixed my cap on my head.

“Leona Kingstone,how do you feel?you’re the first hometown teams to be selected for the baseball national games, this is a big opportunity for you,what do you have to say to that?” Says the news reporter.

“Thanks Maggie, well, I couldn’t have done it without my friends,my team and my wonderful supportive family,I love you mum and dad! And huge shout outs to all the supporters coming all the way from our hometown!” The crowd and fans from our town stand up owning one of the whole bleachers by themselves as they put up GO PANTHERS!!!

“Also, I’m very honored to take this team to the next level- to make it to nationals, this is a huge opportunity for some of us who come from broken families and depend on this baseball tournament as a great way to start off with something !! Thank you” I said and she asks another question.

“Anything else you wanna say?” She asks and put the mic close to my mouth.

“ I also would appreciate it if we all just sung happy birthday to a very sweet girl I know McKenzie Adams, she’s currently fighting her life from cancer and she’s a huge fan of Baseball so,here it is for you Kenzie, happy birthday baby girl,get well soon and keep fighting cause we’re here by your side-we got your back!, as the Gold Paw Panthers team and fans and families of Range View town giving our love, support and lots and lots of presents for your 13th birthday this year “ I said and I saw McKenzie being wheeled out to the arena as we all stood up and sung happy birthday to her.

Her mum is crying as she hugs her husband and I see my mum and dad singing happy birthday as well. Kenzie is just staring in shock as she has tears in her eyes.

After we sang happy birthday, a huge cake is also wheeled out and it looks like the baseball field. Kenzie has tears in her eyes as she stands up and hugs me tightly whispering thank you in my ear.

I take off my cap and put it on her as I called over Charlie,our water boy to bring my present. It was a baseball jersey with Adams at the back with the number 13 on the back.

We take a picture together with Kenzie ,the team, the cheer leading squad and Kenzie’s parents– basically anyone who wanted to pose in the pictures, as everyone who wants a piece of cake comes to the field and enjoys the cake and refreshments and some even get Kenzie money as her gift.

Overall, the night was great.

It was the weekend and today was the day that I was gonna meet my fiancé.

Marciano Scorpious Vasilevosky.

I’d only seen him in one of his pictures where he was wearing a soccer uniform. I thought he’d look cute but due to growth spurt he’d turned more….manly in a way. He was still 2 years older than me and I’d only seen him face to face last year,when in the contract it says we were to meet.

We didn’t bond because he was here with his girlfriend from Italy, I was a bit hurt by it but I had to remind myself that we had our different lives, he was in love with his girlfriend Emilia and I was just a girl signed off to marry him.

He should also try to understand from my side of the story too, I mean, I want to find the love of my life too,but I can’t because of this marriage,and then he goes off and does this. He keeps fooling around even though he knew the truth 2 years before I did!!

“Darling,go shower love,the Vasilevosky family will be arriving soon” I sighed as I got outve bed.

Just keep it in Leona, some women have it worse than you do. Is what I told myself,reminding myself that I shouldn’t be judgmental.

“Go pick out a nice dress to wear love” I nodded as I got outve bed and hopped in the shower as I heard my bedroom door close as mum’s soft pattering footsteps faded and she left.

Let’s hope this isn’t that bad.

I smiled patting down the navy blue floral dress as I tied the white braided belt around my waist as the body hugged my curves nicely. I curled my hair to perfection and added lip gloss and mascara along with some face powder that made my face glow a bit. Not too much though to show that I put on makeup as I smiled my pearly straight white teeth twinkling in the mirror. I braided my hair back in an Elsa French braid with afew curls descending my face. I pulled on a pair of nude colored sandals to match before I heard voices downstairs.

I walked downstairs greeted by these unfamiliar looking people. A man, a woman and who I instantly recognized as Marciano.

He stares at me for long before he looked behind me at my mother.

“This is her, my daughter Leona “  my father says in his usual thick Italian English accent.

“ hello, please to meet you both Mr Vasilevosky and Mrs Vasilevosky “ I said. Boy was that a mouth full?,yes it was.

“Oh please darling,we’re practically family,no need for formalities” the Italian woman I noticed as Marciano’s mother says and I nod.

Speaking of the devil,he won’t stop staring at me.

I’m finally introduced to him as parents take the conversation to outside in the seats outside, there is a rose maze,literally a maze made of thorns and roses.

“So…..” I said trying to start a conversation.

“In case you haven’t noticed, I have no interest in you” he says making my heart pang in hurt of his words.

Then,why was he staring at me?

“So that means, after the marriage, I can continue with my life and we only show up together as during family gatherings. Do you understand?” He says angrily and I look to the floor.

Nice shoes……

“Yes,I….I understand”

POV

I smiled sadly fighting off my tears as they fixed my wedding dress on me.

“You look so beautiful darling” she says and I sadly  faking a smile.

The wedding dress hugged my curves in all the right places, it had a good amount of cleavage and it also had a lower back.

My hair was pinned up in a sexy curly mess with diamond pins in my hair with some strands framing my face. Today was the day, the day that I get married.

Two weeks ago, Marciano’s parents Eduardo and Silvia have been nothing but nice to me, I wish Marciano was nice too but he’s always glaring at me like there’s something wring with me.

Silvia and Eduardo forced Marciano to take me out and we ended up carpooling to his girlfriend’s house, I sat in the back seat as I felt like a third wheel on my own date with my fiance.

What is my life?

They were all so lovey dovey, why didn’t he ask her to marry him then?

Even though I didn’t like Marciano that much over the passed 3 weeks, seeing him with other girls hurt. It hurt me.

Did it mean I liked him?perhaps so….

That night when we got home,I was ready to hit my bed with a tub full of ice cream and cry myself to sleep but he stopped me before I could open the front door and shoved a small red velvet box and opened it seeing an engagement ring.

“Put it on,along with a smile and let’s walk in looking so in love” he says rolling his eyes as he texts away on his phone.

I nodded as I put the ring in my finger and pulled on the game at smile I could plaster as I was on the verge of crying.

This hurt more than seeing him with that Camilla girl in the car on our date…

So here I am, trying to hold myself together the best I could. My bridesmaids,women I didn’t even know looked more like the bride as they smiled waving their flairy dresses around.

I always dreamed that on my wedding day, my four best friends would be my bridesmaids. Last week,the carnival raised a lot of money,more than enough money for the junior basketball team and even enough to start preparing for graduation and prom night. We’ve already booked out the Onyx club after the prom night and we were gonna do the whole place up. But unfortunately I won’t be here for prom or graduation either. The principal was paid to just hand me my diploma in science and arts earlier than everyone else by my parents so I don’t have to go to graduation which makes me wanna cry. Anyways back to my makeup…

After that was done, I turned to the camera smiling softly as my pictures were getting taken.

After I got fitted into my heels, I was told that I was ready.

Was I though?to give my life away like this!

I don’t have a choice anymore.

My dad walked me down the isle and we reached the end of it where Marciano was waiting for me. He wore a fitting tux that complimented his skin color. He nods off at my dad and pulls my hand slightly with force as I almost stumbled on my wedding dress.

“Do you Marciano Scorpious Vasilevosky take thee Leona Anastasia Kingstone as your lawfully wedded wife?to love and to hold?in sickness and in health?until death do you part?” The priest asks Marciano as I looked down not meeting his eyes as I couldn’t stop the waterworks.

I take away my hands from his hold and wipe off my tears as he pulls me in a hug.

“I’m sorry,she’s a bit emotional, just give us a minute” everyone awes at us.

“Get your crap together and stop being such a crybaby” he whispers in my ear while his hand wrapped around my waist rubbing my back softly.

To someone from afar,they’d think he’d be comforting me,but I knew the real story here so I pulled away from him and we continue on with the wedding vows. Hopefully it will end soon.

“Do you Leona Anastasia take thee Marciano Scorpious Vasilevosky as your lawfully wedded husband?” Ugh!!! Spoke too soon.😒😒😒

During

the

honeymoon

….

Leona’s

POV

Its been a week since we’ve been here on Bora Bora island.

Its the last day of our honeymoon and every night I hear moaning from Marciano’s room. He has a different girl each night,and even though it shouldn’t hurt,it somehow does. I hate it!!!

How he affects me so much without even trying. Since we’re checking out this afternoon, I decided to hit the beach today and have a spa day for myself…

I put on a nice pair of white bikini wear from Victoria Secrets. I smiled loving how the color complimented my skin color well.

I pulled on some booty shorts and a white  shirt that says I

need

a

break

I took my beach bag and sunnies along with my beach bag from Pure Fiji. It was a big orange bag and fitted everything I might have needed. Towel,sunscreen, also a spare change of clothes just in case,my bottle of water, phone for taking pics and some bags of snacks. I slipped on some havainas before I opened the door to my room getting the hat I bought from a local mall around here called Treetop Boutique.

“And where do you think you’re going?” I heard him ask as I passed by the kitchen.

“Its my last day at the island. I just wanted to see the beach one last time” I said not looking up to meet his eyes.

“You’re gonna go looking like that?!you look like a slut!!go change!!” He yelled in my face and I flinched back as tears threatened to spill.

“Oh come on!you’re gonna cry?!what are you,five?!” He says as there was a knock at the door.

The door opened and not other than her girlfriend Cynthia walks in in the shortest most revealing dress I’ve ever seen.

I walked out ignoring the both of them as I made it to the reception and all the way to the beach.

I made an appointment at the spa so I was dew for my much needed massage. I was led to one of these small hut houses called the ‘bures’ with a great sea view as I was told to lie face downwards on the massage bed.

A lady in her early twenties walks out and greets herself.

“Good morning Mrs Vasilevosky, I am Giselle and I’ll be doing your massage this morning” she says and I smiled.

“Please,call me Leona” she nods with a smile as she proceeds to tell me what to do. She gets a white towel and tells me to take off my bikini bra as she covered my lower half with the towel and started my massage. I sighed in satisfaction as the massage went on which was very good, some of my backbones would crack back into place making me sigh out in relief.

After my full body massage, I paid her extra before I left. I walked to the different boutiques on the island and made a note to buy more body buttering cream for myself.

Once that was done, I finally went back to the beach side passing by the pool as I went to one of the benches and proceeded taking off shirt seeing my bikini bra hugging my breast perfectly. I decided to take off the shorts too as I rubbed sunscreen on my body.

“Um,hi” I heard someone say, looking up I was met with the darkest blue eyes I’d ever seen.

“Hi” I said politely before I proceeded to pull out my black lace swimming robe.

“I’m Alex, I was sitting all the way from there and I couldn’t help but notice you all the way from here” I blushed.

“Oh…um….thank you” I said and I see him still staring in amazement at my face.

“Can I buy you a drink?” I heard him ask and I shook my head.

“I’m sorry Alex, I don’t really drink” I said politely.

Why can’t I just be left alone to have a peaceful last day at the beach?

“Oh come on, trust me,it’ll be fun” he takes my wrist and my red lights danger in my head go off as I try to break my hand free from his hold.

“No thank you” I said as I pulled my wrist from his hold.

“Its just one dri—” Alex’s words were cut off when a muscular tan arm shot out and punched him straight on the face.

“My wife said no!so fuck the hell off” Marciano angrily  said as he grabs my wrist,his arms encircling around my waist pulling me closer.

“Are you ok?did he hurt you?” I shook my head still speechless.

POV

On the last night of our honeymoon, I was happy that he didn’t bring Cynthia around anymore. Even if it was just for one night.

I will miss this place, the places I explored all by myself.

The beach area, Crystal cove island, the cave I explored with the hiking team, my surfing experience which honestly- wasn’t so bad. The cinemas where I watched Snatched, the kids club that I volunteered at, I met such wonderful kids, the zip lining safari adventures and not forgetting the most fun off all of them when we played these paint bullets game.

It was so much fun!!!!

The nice boutiques, my massages and spa pedicures and manicures, speaking of which,I had a French tip done on my fingernails.

After Marciano came to the rescue, I was expecting to be told off for wearing such revealing clothes but what do you expect me to wear to the beach?

A knitted sweater and pajama pants? Note the sarcasm….

He was quiet for sometime so I looked up only to find him staring at me. More like– my body.

Um….ok?

Just then he’d left and not even a full minute later another guy showed up.

“Excuse me Mrs Vasilev, Mr Vasilev picked out a VIP hut that side, I’m Carlo,I’m your new guard” great!just what I needed-sarcasm intended here…….

Why do I need a freaking bodyguard?!!

I followed Carlo to the VIP huts and I’d admit it was very cute.

I sat my things comfortably on the long beach seat, and took one of the surf boards out to sea. There were some other surfers here too.

After I found my wave, I rode it out hearing the cheers from some watching eyes,one of those watching eyes was Marciano.

After the surfing events,it was around lunch. I was offered lunch from many guys and before I could even decline politely, Marciano had showed up calling me wifey and holding my hand everywhere we went. I wanted to believe that  he was trying for me,for us to work, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case, he was only doing it because the paparazzi was here in disguise.

He’d sometimes peck the side of my face as I was looking around for something I’d wanna buy. A lot of men gave envious looks at Marciano and most girls gave me death glares as Marciano was holding my hand.

I ignored the familiar sparks that always occurred when we made skin contact.

So here I am,it is the last night here at the resort, and I’m watching Netflix. We ordered a penthouse suite that had 2 separate rooms hence why we have different rooms,which honestly,I felt relieved for, I wasn’t ready to share a bedroom with Marciano and his mistress.

I walked out of my bedroom in booty shorts and a greyish black sweater as I opened the fridge looking for something to eat.

I turned around almost dropping the food when I came face to face with Cynthia.

“Oh Cynthia, hi” I said as she glared at me before it turned into a sickly sweet smile.

“Hello Leona, can you make us something to eat?” She asks and I’m confused. I know I heard Marciano leaving so who is she talking about.

My question is answered when she rubs her flat belly,my eyes widened.

“Y-you’re pregnant?” I asked and she nodded.

“I’m four weeks along. I found out when you and Marciano first met four weeks ago “ I smiled sadly.

“Well, congratulations on your baby, I’m sorry about this marriage if it hurts you in any way” I don’t know why I’m saying this. I feel like such a homewrecker.

These two love each other and they’re expecting a baby together, although I’m the wife in this relationship, I feel like such a home wrecker.

She looked shocked as she stared at me.

“Y-you’re sorry?” I nod looking away from her.

“Yeah. Anyways,what would you like to eat?” I said wiping away my tears.

“Can you make us some bacon and egg, maybe some salad as side dish?” I nodded,getting right to it.

After I put some food she asked for in a plate, I placed it in front of her and made myself some cereal before I went back to my room…..

She’s pregnant.

Leona’s

POV

It was around midnight when I heard something break in the living room… I was still binge watching on All American TV series.

It was one of my many favourites.

I paused the film. It can’t be Cynthia, she’s already left to her hotel room already.

Must be Marciano.

I walked out turning on the lights. Marciano was a mess.

He was obviously drunk out of his mind as he stumbled against the kitchen stools.

I go to help him up which is a huge task cause he’s heavy as hell!

I help him to his bedroom and end up falling onto his bed with him. His hands circled around my waist as he brings my face close to his.

I closed my eyes as our lips met in a feverish kiss. His hand trails up my exposed thigh and I moan as he takes this opportunity to dip his tongue in my mouth. We switched positions and now I’m on his lap holding his stubbled face as we deepened the kiss.. His hands find the front of my jeans, but I move his hand away.

He seems to get the memo and just opts for squeezing my butt tightly making me whimper at the pain , before his hand glides into my shirt and squeeze my breast in my sports bra.

Then I remember Cynthia and her baby. I pulled away and shook my head. I’m so ashamed of myself for doing this,knowing this man is in love with someone else and is expecting a baby.

Marciano looks at me confused. “Leona,what’s wrong?” He slurrs a bit at the end of his sentence.

“This is wrong” I mumbled more to myself than to him.

“Why?we’re married,we need to have an heir” I shook my head.

“We can’t. What about Cynthia?” He gives me a confused look with his brows scrunched in confusion.

“What about Cynthia?” He asked as he stood up

“I…..we can’t Marciano, you have a baby on the way. I…..can’t do that stooping so low as being with a man whose got a baby on the way, I just can’t do that. It just doesn’t sit well with me,that you’re here fooling around with me half drunk out of your mind when your mistress is pregnant. So please just leave” I don’t expect the next thing to happen but he strides towards me gripping my neck as he slapped me hard across the cheek.

“Don’t you fucking dare come here and spread lies at my face!now GET THE FUCK OUT YOU SLUT!” With that I run outve his room with my cheek burning from his heavy hand.

Marciano

POV

I woke up feeling a pounding headache as I got outve bed.

What happened last night?

I look around seeing I was in my bedroom. How did I get here?

I remember myself being at the bar.

Then the rest was a blur.

I sat up on my bed seeing as there was a packet of Advil and a bottle of Fiji water by the nightstand table.

After I could feel the world stop spinning, I walked out of my room seeing the familiar frame of my tall wife making herself breakfast. She was wearing a black cardigan like crop top that showed her beautiful tan skin, her silky, curly locks were laid back against her back as she was wearing a matching black bootie shorts and black nike airway runners.

Did she go running in that?!!

She turns around looking up at me and I pale up seeing the bruise on her cheek bone.

Memories after memories, I discovered the cause of that ugly bruise on her breathtaking face. It was from me…..

I felt guilty, every fibre of my being, guilty at what I’d done. Its not even a full month of my wife and I’s marriage and I’m already hitting her.

“Your breakfast” she whispers not meeting my eyes anymore as she placed a plate of food in front of me.

“Leona I’m-” she cut me off.

“Its fine. Is Cynthia joining us for breakfast?” She asked changing the topic,just as I was gonna say I was sorry for my actions. And why the hell is she worried about Cynthia?I thought she would hate Cynthia….

I go to speak but there was a knock at the door.

She stands up, walking to the door and opened it.

I hear her chatting with someone and I see it was Cynthia. She and Cynthia hug as she let Cynthia in.

What the fuck is happening?

“Your breakfast is in the microwave. I’m just gonna get changed” I heard Leona say softly as she leaves. My eyes followed her figure as she leaves closing the door softly as she was in her room now. I slumped against my chair.

“What happened to her face?did you do that?” Cynthia asks raising her voice at me.

I nodded feeling ashamed of myself.

“You’re fucking sick!doing that to your own wife! Would you do that to me?!to our baby?!!” I looked up at her.

“Don’t bring up the bullshit of that child being mine cause I know it isn’t mine. I know you’ve been fucking my bodyguard” she looked shocked.

“How did you?…..”  I snorted.

“Well, some days when I came to see you at your hotel room I’d hear you screaming Carlo’s name in pleasure so I think I got a fair idea” I said eating my bacon.

This is good.

“Fuck you. Treat your wife well before its too late Marciano. I saw the way your best man kept staring at her during the wedding. You might wanna start treating her like the queen she deserves to be treated like cause believe or not, there are men out there waiting for the first chance they get. Just lining up,waiting for you to make that mistake they’re wishing for you to make. She’s a woman Marciano,you don’t fucking hit a woman no matter what! and don’t even think about blaming it on the alcohol, cause you and I both know that isn’t the case. Get your fucking shit together and apologize even if it means bruising your big ass ego, do it for the sake of your wife and wealth “ with that she left shutting the door hard.

This left me thinking about what she said. My best man?my own best friend staring at MY wife?

I smiled as I was able to hide my bruise with a concealer. I put on red ChapStick and patted down my outfit on the mirror.

My stuff were already packed. I put on my brown sandal heels, I wore a perfect fitting denim jeans and a tucked in brown blouse. I had my hair back in a ponytail after I’d curled it again.

I put on mascara on and a charm bracelet I bought from the boutique. I took a picture of my outfit before I left the bathroom I wheeled my suitcase to the living room seeing Marciano already dressed and his suitcase with him.

Before he could speak, my phone rang and I picked it out from my jeans back pocket.

Mum.

I picked up the phone leaving my suitcase at the front of my door and went to speak to my mum in my room.

She wanted to face time as I switched to face time. “Hi mum” I said as she smiled with my dad.

“Hi honey, how is your honeymoon going?” I smiled.

“Its great. I had a lot of fun. I’m sure you’ve seen my pictures on Instagram” they both nodded.

“We missed you so much. So Italy huh?” Dad says and I shrugged.

“Yeah,I can’t wait to explore over there” I said and hear my parents laugh.

“Oh honey, well, tomorrow is prom night, you won’t be here” I nodded.

“Yeah.  I wish I were there though, we planned the whole thing” I said with a sad smile as I felt a presence behind me before a cold heavy hand clamped down on my shoulder as I felt a peck on my cheek.

“Good morning Mr and Mrs Kingstone” Marciano says and wraps his tatooed arms around my waist as he rests his head on my shoulder blade kissing my neck.

My parents awed at us and I have to applause myself for my acting skills as I blushed.

“Look at them darling, they’re so in love” I faked a smile as we talked more and Marciano stopped peppering kisses on my neck when I give him a piss off look.

“Oh honey, that wasn’t nice” I heard mum say and I just shrugged as Marciano leaves the room.

After we talked, I sighed sliding down by side of my bed.

Is this suppose be my life?fake a love story,a life that can never be mine with this man.

“Leona?we’re leaving” I heard Marciano say as I quickly wiped my tears away standing up.

Thank god for the waterproof makeup.

I followed him out as our guard Carlo came to take our suitcases to the car outside.

“Why are you crying?” He asked angrily as we got in the car.

I just shook my head looking out the window.

Please,just leave me alone…

Marciano’s

POV

I sighed in frustration as I saw Leona’s tear striken face as she hiccupped softly.

We were an hour into the road to the airport. There were cars following us and afew ten more going in front.

Just being close to this woman did some things to me. When we touched, I felt the sparks in our touch,when we kissed,I felt I was on cloud nine with just the feel of her plum lips against mine. She made my stomach do somersaults when I saw her. She made my heart race with worry and pain when I would see tears in her eyes.

I couldn’t just sit here seeing her lie in an awkward angle so I slid closer to her as I swiftly picked her up. She stirs a bit but falls asleep again when I put her head on my broad tatooed shoulder as she slept soundly.

I was immensely turned on when she breathed down my neck as her full big perfect ass was pressed against my hard member.

God,I’ve never been turned on by something so…..simple as this. I gripped the leather seat as I came in my pants when I closed my eyes dreaming of her in my bed- our bed only wearing a lingerie handcuffed to the bed post with my tie as her blindfold.

Fuck!

“Oh god” I mumbled, moving my wife’s curly locks to one side as I stuffed my face in her neck breathing heavily. Her scent was driving me nuts. I couldn’t control my urges to kiss her neck since I’d already done it before this morning.

“Mmhhm . Ciano” I heard Leona moan softly as she clutched the front of my shirt , she nuzzled her face to my neck and I stiffened.

Was she dreaming about me?

Leona’s

POV

When I woke up from my small nap, I looked around at the unfamiliar room. Must be the private jet. I peeked out the blinds seeing it was night time as I got outve my clothes,leaving my bra and black matching lingerie on, I pulled on a silk robe as I let my hair down in a slack ponytail down my back. The silky robe was just afew inches below my lingerie. I walked back out and saw that I was yet again, alone.

Where is Marciano?

I sat down on the bed and checked my notifications. Thank god I kept in contact with my best friends and all of then know about my arrange marriage.

I smiled as they all started face timing me at the same time.

Yay!group chat!

“Hey girl!!” Says Kaycee’s loud voice as she was probably on her bedroom.

“Hey Kayc” I said.

“Damn girl,you look fine as hell” I blushed at Vanessa’s words.

“Where’s your husband honey?” Chelsea asked.

“I don’t know, I just woke up now. We’re on our way to Italy” I said as they all started tearing up.

“Where’s Grace?” I asked as Vanessa spoke.

“She’s in the bathroom,she came to have a sleepover so we can go shopping bright and early tomorrow morning” I nodded missing shopping sprees.

“How’s the baseball team going K?” I asked.

“Its going great thanks. You’re all over TV though,what you did was so beautiful that you just made people change in a way, there is a whole interview on these people on TV that were there that day at the baseball match saying so many good things about you and that they were just congratulating you on your wedding and stuff. You’re some legendary shit here in town Lee,I’m proud of you…..heck we all are” Kay says making me smile as they all voice out their agreement.

“Hi Gracie!” I said seeing Grace wave at me.

“H-hey Lee” I hear her say as she sat comfortably on Chelsea’s lap. I didn’t give much thought into it until what happened next. Chelsea looked at Grace and Grace nodded as Chelsea leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

“Holy fucking cows!” Kaycee says.

“When did this happen?!!” Vanessa gushed fangirling.

“Damn,that was hot” I said as they Chelsea and Grace both blushed.

“ I’m proud of you guys!“ I said as they thanked me.

“How long has this been going on for?” Vanessa asked still smiling.

“We just found out our feelings for each other recently. We wanted to break the news to you guys when you were all present. Even through face timing so you guys wouldn’t feel left out that you were the last to know” Chelsea explained and I awed as Grace blushed hiding her face in Chelsea’s neck.

“Here I thought Joe from school was a lesbian” Vanessa says and we all looked around confused.

“She actually is?” Kay says it like a question.

“Right. Omg guys,just give me a sec” she says and leaves the phone facing down her pink pillow as I hear her scream yes! So many times making all of us laugh as she comes back all composed.

“So,where were we?” She asked and we moved into the next topic.

Marciano’s

POV

I closed the laptop as the air hosters put my plate of food in front of me.

“Please inform my wife that dinner is ready” I spoke to the flight attendant who nodded as she left.

Soon, She comes through the door from the bedroom and I feel my breath hitch in my throat as I cough up my saliva….

She was in nothing but a silky robe, her tall legs,her curves showing against the short silky robe as her curly hair was tied back in a loose ponytail down her back.

Holy fuck!

How am I suppose to focus on getting to apologize when she’s already looking so fucking tempting like that?!

Her smooth flossy neck, her beautiful light chocolate skinned tone. I wanna kiss every part of her.

I notice the male attendant staring at her as she smiled at him politely yet oblivious with his intentions making me wanna fucking gut this man for looking at my wife’s inviting breast.

God,I wanna suck it so fucking bad,I’m actually not ashamed of admitting I wanna piece of that. Screw a piece, I want all of that!

“….Ciano?….,.Marciano?” I heard her say as she stared at me in confusion and worry.

Why is she worried about me?why is she still worried after all the shit I’ve put her through even before the wedding?!

“Huh?” Was my answer.

“Ben asked if you wanted something to drink?” she says gesturing to the asshole who was staring at MY wife.

Fucking shit….

“I’ll have the best wine you’ve got” I said not taking my eyes off my wife’s face as she stared outside, he nods turning back to my wife.

“Anything else Mrs Vasilevosky?” I clenched my jaw as he gave her a pointed look as she smiled rather awkwardly,

“No,that’ll be all. Thank you” she says and he nods as he leaves.

“I’m definitely firing that guy” I said under my breath as it became silent again between the both of us.

“I”

“Well”

We said at the same time.

“Its ok,you go first” I said and she licked her bottom lip,wetting it. What I’d do to have her tongue around my——

“Well, since you established the rules of keeping our individual relationships,I would like to spend afew days with my boyfriend fo-”

“ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!” I said pounding my fist on the table as she flinched when the wine glasses made noises on the table.

“You can’t do this to me Marciano, you have your own mistresses, I’m even nice towards them!all I expect is that you do the same. May-maybe not exactly be friends with him but at least let me see them “ she says raising her voice slightly but her tone still came out soft yet full of pain.

“I’m sorry Leona, but that’s never gonna happen!you are my wife! How do you think I will feel? Seeing you with another man?” I said and I see her look at me, as a tear started sliding down her cheek as she scoffed.

“Its true, I am your wife. That also means you’re my husband. My husband, Marciano,not Cynthia’s or   any other girl out there, don’t come and say to my face about how you feel when you know NOTHING of feelings! How do you think I

felt when I saw you making out with your girls huh?hearing them moan your name during our fucking honeymoon! And you even had the audacity to do it when I was there…. So don’t bring your excuses of how you will feel cause you don’t even have any fucking idea what you’re talking about!“ She didn’t yell, her words came out in a soft angry tone as she stood up and walked to the bedroom.

I bang my fist on the table already loosing my appetite.

“Dammit!” I said clenching my jaw.

When the fuck will I not mess up?

Marciano’s

POV

I ran a hand through my hair as I walked to the bedroom cabin.

I opened the door seeing my wife already in bed and I feel my heart break when I saw she had her hand to her face.

I walked over to the bed and lay down with my shirt still on as I pulled my wife towards me. She tried to push me off punching my chest and kicking weakly as I bought her closer and hugged her tightly.

“I’m sorry baby, I’m so sorry, I’m sorry baby , I’m so so sorry “ I whispered as she gave up and just cried in my chest straddling my hips.

I continued hugging her tightly as I rubbed her back softly whispering sorry over and over again… I pressed the assistance button by the edge of the bed and soon enough,that flight attendant Bob or Bill.

“Sir,is everything alright?” He asked looking worriedly at MY WIFE!

“ my wife needs water“ I said as I tried waking her up but she wouldn’t.

She fell asleep in my arms. That bought a smile to my face.

“Is she ok? Did you hurt her?!” He yelled and I give him a fucking death glare.

“Stop yelling,my wife is sleeping. Now go get me water or consider yourself off my jet and I don’t fucking care if we’re thousands of feet high” I said lowly as my wife stirred a bit before she sighed against my neck.

Bob or whoever the fuck he is,leaves to get my wife some water.

He comes back a second later and stared at my wife’s face looking for any sign of bruises.

“Do let me know if she wakes up please” he says before he leaves.

I lay my wife down and get under the covers with her. I pull the duvet over us as I kiss her neck, we fall asleep.

Marciano’s

POV

I tightened my hold around Leona’s waist as reality dawned on me that this was in fact,not a dream. She was turned away from me as her soft curls laid down her back.

I moved them aside and kissed her neck,trailing kisses down her neck to her shoulder blade.

She stirs a bit before she falls back asleep. My hands trail down her waist to her curvious thigh and legs hearing her moan softly into her pillow as she pushes her big perfect ass into my hard dick.

Fuck!

I trailed my hand down to her smooth legs and brought my hands up again into her heat cussing under my breath when she was soaked wet.

I rubbed her head through the lacy lingerie she was wearing. Her eyes open and she arched her back rolling her hips into my fingers.

“Argh god” she moans and I rub her faster as I bring my face close to her lips and she closes the gap between us.

I kissed her hard as I, in a quick motion rip off her lingerie and cut the kiss as I dive down into her heat eating her out.

“Marciano!” She moans and I groaned against her heat when cold water touches my body waking me up from my…… Dream?!!!

No!no! I refuse to believe its a dream! It did happen!right?

“What?” I asked groggily not wanting to fully awake from my dream.

“You wet the bed. Clean it up,I’m gonna take a bath and when I come back,it should be clean” she says and I’m confused.

Wet the bed? What am I, five?

Wait,does that mean she…..she’s a virgin? Since she basically doesn’t know what the hell cumming in my pants means,

No,it can’t be…..she’s too hot to be a virgin.

Great,how am I suppose to clean up with a morning woods?!and a very hard one at that?

Cold showers and my hands are gonna be my dick’s  best friends for this whole few months.

POV

I turned the small silver wheel back as I had finished showering.

I wrapped a towel around my body but it was short as it reached just below my ass.

I laid my silky curly hair down my back as some strands came to the front on my collar bone.

Walking out, I saw Marciano sitting on the seat as one of the hosters, Ben to be specific was cleaning out the bedsheets.

This oaf! How dare he let someone else clean his mess. The bathroom door shutting makes the both of them look up.

“Marciano?I told you to clean this mess up,not Ben” I said crossing my arms over my chest making my boobs mount up more. I see Marciano’s eyes darken more.

“Ok, Bill,you can leave” Marciano says darkly as his eyes trail down at my light brown skin toned legs and thighs.

Ben seems to snap out of his own trance.

“Sir,my name is Ben” he says but Marciano looks at him with a deadly glare.

“Do I look like I fucking care what your name is?get out!” Ben nods and leaves shutting the door and I frowned.

“Hey,you can’t speak like that to someone who just cleaned up your mess. Go and apologize” he scoffs.

“Apologize?me?Marciano Scorpious Vasilevosky” he chuckled as he stands up and walks towards me, I take a step back.

“I’m not apologizing. He was staring at MY wife, you think its right to apologize?no, if anything,you should be apologizing to me,you made me upset and very hard” he whispers the last part in my ear.

“Get out. I need to get dressed” I said my heart racing in my chest. I needed to get away from him.

He kisses my neck softly before he leaves.

I started getting dressed, I had just finished putting on my bra and lingerie when the door opened again,I didn’t look up from my suitcase trying to look for the dress.

“Marciano, how many—” my sentence is cut short when none other than Ben stood there with hooded red eyes.

Oh god,he’s high. He smelled like weed.

“I’ve been dying to have a piece of that” just then I realize he’s referring to my lingerie covered ass.

I quickly picked up my towel,covering myself.

“G-get out” I said as I took a step back and he walks towards me.

“HELP!!” I screamed as he grabs me around the waist,I tried to kick him off me but my kicks were too weak cause I was really scared now.

“Shut the fuck up!” He says as he forcefully pushed me down the bed and I kneed him hard in the dick as he clutched himself.

I wrapped the towel around myself as I go to open the door, but he grabs me by my hair pushing me roughly on the bed. The world spins around me as he punched me straight in the face busting my lip instantly as it bleeds. He goes to put me on the bed again when the door slams open and Marciano looks at me worriedly as I clutched the towel around my body tighter. My heart is racing.

“You bastard” Marciano sounded deadly as he tackled Ben to the floor punching his face repeatedly until he was unconscious.

He walks over to me and searches my body for anymore bruises apart from the biggest bruise on my cheek and my bleeding lip.

I hugged him tightly as tears slid down my cheeks. He picks me up as he takes us to the bathroom.

“Fuck,I should have came faster” he says to himself.

I hissed when he wanted to move my left arm. “What happened love?” He asked me.

“He….I was getting dressed when he came in. I thought it was you so I wanted to tell you to get out , but it wasn’t you . He threw me on the bed when I kicked him in the nuts and I think he got mad by that, I was gonna get to the door when he grabbed my hair and punched my face. I went a bit dizzy and that’s when you came in” I said as his hold around my hips tightened.

I could tell he was blaming himself for not getting here faster.

“Its not your fault Marciano,you saved me and that’s all that matters” I said as he looked up at me and my eyes went to his lips before his eyes again.

I could tell he was blaming himself for not getting here faster.

“Its not your fault Marciano,you saved me and that’s all that matters” I said as he looked up at me and my eyes went to his lips before his eyes again.

#########################

His lips inched closer to mine and I kiss him lightly. The kiss is slow,soft and sensual,almost like he wanted to tell me something through this kiss. It wasn’t the type of hungry,lustful kiss,no this one was simple yet deep,like it meant something more.

He smiles into the kiss and I do too as we pull away slowly and softly.

He hugs me tightly as he kisses down my shoulder blade and collar bone.

I feel something wet on my shoulder as his arms tightened around my waist and he stuffed his face in my neck. I worriedly try to look and fair enough,he’s crying.

But why?did he regret the kiss?

“Marciano?hey,what’s wrong?was it the kiss?” I asked as my free arm wrapped around his neck since my left one wasn’t working right now.

“No…..it’s just……I was scared. I got scared,I was going to lose you, seeing that fucking bastard trying to get it on with you,made me lose my sanity, I want to kill him” he says and I hugged him tighter.

“I was scared too Marciano, I really thought you weren’t going to come,but you did. And for that,I can’t thank you enough” my words were genuine as he looked at me. I wiped away his tears.

“Thank you. For saving me. Sure, I got bruises and stuff,but you saved me. You’re a hero. You’re my hero” he smiled and kisses me again.

“I’ve never kissed anyone so softly and slowly like that. I liked it” he says as I smiled.

“We do need to get that arm checked out from a doctor when we land in America” I scrunched my brows in confusion.

“America?I thought we were going to Italy?” He shakes his head.

“I wanted it to be a surprise. I’m taking you to America so you can graduate with your best friends,and maybe stay as well for prom night. You deserve to be there for the occasion you planned yourself. But only if I am your prom date” I can’t believe this.

“Of course” I said excitedly hugging him tightly but wince when I moved my bad arm.

“Come on,I’ll help you dress up,or else we’re not leaving this room” I’m not even gonna ask for the doubled meaning of that word.

POV

I couldn’t wipe off the smile from my face as Marciano helped into my Lee cut out DIY shorts and a navy crop t-shirt with red and white lines against the chest part and arms.

A curly strand of my silky black locks came to my face and I go to move it away tucked away by my pierced ear when Marciano’s hand move mine away softly.

There’s a look in his eyes that I can’t really comprehend… I gripped his wrist softly as his face descended down to my height as his lips met mine in the same soft slow sensual kiss we shared in the bathroom not long ago.

He licks my bottom lip and I can’t help the moan that escapes from my lips into our connected lips. His hands find my flat belly as he deepens the kiss. His hands trail up to my lacy bra covered breast and he fondled with one of them as another moan escapes my lips.

He breaks the kiss giving me a chance to breath as he kisses down my neck,to my jawline biting my ear-lobe as I closed my eyes.

He kisses down to my neck sucking on the skin of the base of my neck as his hands gripped my ass through my shorts as he groans in my mouth… “So fucking big” he mumbled groaningly as he gripped my ass again and delivering a slap to my thigh before he rubs it to my knee before his hands trailed to my inner thigh… How did I get on the edge of the bed?!

A throat being cleared gets us both out of our little….session. A female stood looking at the floor as she cleared her throat,

“I’m so sorry to disturb you Mr and Mrs Vilankov but we’re landing in afew minutes time so please come take your seats “ with that she does a little awkward bow before she closed the door behind her.

Marciano helps me into my clothes completely not even mentioning the kiss and things we did.

He’s so confusing….

Did that mean, I was just another one of those girls who he messed with and forgot about them?

After he tied my Jordans,he picked up our suitcases and  walked out leaving me in the first class cabin.

What just happened?

Twenty-Two

I’d decided. I wasn’t gonna let Marciano use me like one of his….toys/ girls.

With that thought,I was determined that I wasn’t gonna have a repeat of what happened on this plane.

Here we were directed out from the private sectors of the airport that no doubt belonged to Marciano.

He was confused as of my actions were of so when he wanted to hold my hand,I had just brushed him off. He kinda got the memo when for the third time he attempted at body contact when he tried to place his hand on my thigh, I had put a laptop on my lap plugging in some air pods and watched afew newly released episodes on All American.

We first visited the private medical team at the airport and got my arm checked before it was both working just fine again.

When we passed through the sliding doors we were surrounded by paparazzi bombarding us with questions as I pulled on my shades.

Marciano stopped walking as he waited for me to catch up to him and he held my hand as the guards appeared out of nowhere guiding us to the black cars that were opened for us.

Once we got in,the cars took off ……

••••••••• I quickly got out the car before it properly stopped as I rub to the front door,opening it I had tears sliding my cheeks as everyone yelled SURPRISE!

All my friends from school were here. The house was filled with my wedding presents as I rushed to my four best friends pulling them in a group hug.

“I missed you guys” I mumbled as tears slid down my cheeks as I hugged them.

The girls gushed about Marciano but I was simply- uninterested in the topic so I changed it.

“So you and Gracie eh?” I teased Chelsea as she blushed kissing Gracie’s forehead who was bright red as she stuck by Chelsea’s side.

“Omg I totally shipped them” Vanessa says and we give her a weird look.

“Um…no you didn’t. It was Dylan from the basketball team who suggested if two girls were to be paired together it would be Chelsea and Gracie” Kay says and Vanessa made an ohhhh face.

“Anyways, today is about you Lee. Congratulations baby girl. By the way,you have a hickey” Kay pointed out and the girls squealed in excitement at the ‘juicy detail’

••••••••

“Wait what?!— that was it?!” Kay asked bewildered as I nodded.

After the ‘welcome back from your honeymoon trip’ party, the girls and I decided on a slumber party like we always had done when we were younger.

Marciano had left an hour into the party to god knows where,and honestly I could care less…

Tomorrow, I’m gonna party like a fucking animal.

Leona’s

POV

The next day we all woke up extra early cause we all knew each other too well knowing we’d take ages to get ready. We all took turns bathing and getting our make up done and decided we were gonna do our hair when we were finished with breakfast

We tumbled downstairs to see the table already filled with different breakfast dishes. I saw Marciano entering through the front door with hickeys covering his neck and I suddenly lost my appetite.

I was right all along.

His eyes darted up to me and I saw confliction in his eyes.

“Leona…” he started but I just forcefully take my food dishing not too much in my plate before I leave to the back door where there was also a black marblestone dining table.

I take a seat in one of the bamboo woven cushioned seat and soon my girls join me.

“He’s a dick” Kay says once she sits

“An asshole” Chelsea piped in.

“Yeah. A  dickwadded asshole” Vanessa finished and I can’t help but laugh away the tears brimming in my eyes.

They followed in pursuit and we’re all laughing at what Vanessa said.

“What?its true though” she says as she ate a piece of her chicken wings with her fingers.

“D-dick……dickwadded?” I said in between laughter as Kay nodded slapping her thighs doubling in her seat in laughter.

Chelsea also laughed as Gracie choked on her water laughing too as Chelsea tapped her girlfriend’s back softly making me Aww at them.

They’re in love. I wish I had that….

Once we stopped laughing slowly, Marciano appeared at the sliding doors leaning against the frame all showered.

“Can we talk?” He asked and I ignored him sipping on my orange juice.

He got the memo as he left. “Asshole” I whispered under my breath and I’m glad the girls changed the topic quickly taking my mind off my asshole husband.

•••••••••••••

After breakfast, we all went upstairs to get ready.

I did Gracie’s makeup and hair. We all decided to let our hair down today. Grace and I chatted in the bathroom alone and we had our own alone girls talk.

Once I finished doing Gracie’s, Nessa was ready to have her hair done.

Then, all the girls including Grace wanted to do my makeup.

After my makeup was done along with my hair which was spiral curled and flowing down my back,I walked into the bathroom to get ready cause Chelsea and Grace borrowed my closet to get dressed.

I patted down my maroon dress that had a gold belt. I wore maroon sandal heels and I’m glad I waxed my legs cause they look fine as hell in this dress.

I looked shocked as I saw my face in the mirror. Damn,ok game on.

The dress was a little above my legs,it hugged my curves perfectly and I pulled my hair over to my chest before I decided to just keep it in black thick waves down my back.

I smiled as I walked out,the girls chattering and laughing stops suddenly as I make myself present.

“Who the hell are you?” Kay asked speechless as my other three best friends just gaped and stared.

“You……”

“We…….”

“Woah…..”

They all each said and I blushed– or at least attempted to.

I looked down to my dress and looked at them again. “You look…..Woah” Nessa gushed as she told me to twirl.

Nessa wore a red lacy short dress that hugged her body like a second skin,much like my dress. She had stilleto heels to pair and Chelsea wore navy blue holding Gracie’s hand who was wearing a lighter blue dress.

“You guys look so beautiful” I told all of them. Don’t get me started on Kay’s dress.

It was a gray tight dress with a high slit around the thigh part with a low cleavage leaving good enough imagination.

“Whose ready to graduate?!” Nessa cheered and we all cheered as well as she popped open a bottle of champagne and we all darted for cover when the cap flew around the room.

Chelsea hugged Gracie to her chest as they hid on the side of my bed while I darted for my study table.

Once the coast was clear we all got outve our hiding places patting off the imaginary dust on our dresses.

“Sorry guys” Nessa says sheepishly as she poured us a glass each.

“Here’s to our friendship. We made it through kindergarden graduation to high school seniors graduation in one piece. I love you guys” I said as we toasted and they awwed before we hugged it out.

“Alright girls, I hope you’re––Woah” my mum’s voice was heard as she appeared at the door looking at us all dressed up.

“Oh lord, you all look so beautiful” she gushed as she took pictures of us informally posing before we left for school.

(The night of their arrival back from the honeymoon)

Marciano’s

POV

I watched the woman that captured my heart talk to her friends with a bright smile.

She was beautiful. So beautiful. And she was mine. All mine.

I sipped on the whiskey as I observed her. How her dimples showed when she doubled over in laughter from her blonde headed friend,I think her name was Vanessa.

The way she’d tuck her hair behind her ear or lick her bottom lip when she didn’t like something but chose not to say anything on the matter, or when she’s biting her bottom lip when she was nervous or was hiding something.

“Son?……Marciano are you alright?” My mother’s thick Italian accent draws me outve my thoughts.

“I’m fine ma. I just…… I’m trying to figure myself out,that’s all” before she could start talking again, I excused myself.

I jugged the bottle of whiskey.

Fuck! I can’t… I can’t let her get close to me. She’ll become my weakness and that will be the end of me.

With that I found myself fishing out my phone as I called up my second in command.

“Sir” his usual greeting.

“Get me a whore. Tan skin,curly hair,tall legs,perfect tits” I said before I cut the call and leave before Leona could see me…

••••••••

Here I was gripping this black girl’s locks ramming into her slack p*ssy. I imagined Leona’s face,her body,wearing that silky short sleeping robe. Her long tan legs, her smooth tan skin.

In no time I was coming hard.

Fuck!even when I’m having sex with someone else, I can’t seem to forget her breathtaking beauty.

•••••••••••

the next morning

The next morning when I walked into my in laws front door,my eyes met the beautiful ones of my wife.

Her eyes leave my eyes and looked down my neck and ruffled messy hair and my wrinkled suit from yesterday.

“Leona” I said as she just shook her head and walked to the kitchen with her best friends who all gave me death glares and disappointed looks.

God,I messed up so much.

•••••••• I finished my quick shower as I walked out the balcony to find my beautiful wife laughing away.

Fuck,her laugh made me want to smile. But I can’t,I can’t let my guard down.

Their laughter died down and I decided to make my presence known.

“Can we talk?” I asked her as she ignored me and sipped on her orange juice instead.

I guess I deserved that…

I leave to attend to some business to get my mind off my aching chest when Leona, my wife,ignored me.

Why am I feeling like this.

•••••••• I got carried away with my workload that I didn’t see the missed calls from Leona.

Fuck!her graduation!

“Fuck!” I said pushing myself out the comfort of my study leather seat as I quickly picked up my car keys.

I sped through the road as I drove into the manor of my in-laws and my wife.

I rushed into my in-laws manor seeing the maids cleaning up,the usual as they all froze looking at me as I panted slightly.

I need to hit the gym soon.

“Where’s my wife?” I asked as they shared a fearful look that I was talking to them.

“T-they had already left. They were waiting for you Mr Valekov. But you didn’t make it so they left” she says politely and I rushed back out as I sped through the road trying to get to my wife’s high school in time.

By now, I arrived in the packed school parking lot as I rushed out,my guards and their BMW’s hot on my heels.

I rushed down the empty hallway opening a random door only to see winter themed decorated basketball gym.

This must be where prom will be done tonight.

I hear cheering and ran down the hallway opening the double doors and my face paled when all the students stood up throwing their hats up.

Fuck!I missed it!

I waited outside running a hand through my hair as I thought of what excuse I had to tell Leona this time.

I waited,and waited and finally!she came out, with her parents,my parents and her best friends along with some unknown people.

Our families looked at me disappointed as I saw the smile on Leona’s face disappear.

She put on a now fake smile as she fare welled a few people.

Our parents looked at me, my mother not even looking me in the eyes, dad bumping roughly into my shoulder as they passed by.

Leona took my hand and we walked out the opposite hallway away from everyone else.

Once we’re out the back hallway door into the back of the bleachers, she landed a hard slap on my cheek.

“You know, I really thought you cared…..if it was just an ounce of devotion and loyalty but I was stupid enough to think something so….unreal of you.” She says laughing bitterly through her tears and I feel guilt consume me…

“ Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing. Clean up your fucking shit, your suit is in my car“ with that she wiped her tears.

“Le- “ I started moving to grab her hand  but she just rose her hand away from me.

“Just go” with that, she leaves to the door we just walked through.

Useless and disappointing. That’s what she thinks of me.

God, that hurt. More than those injuries I’ve endured.

hours

earlier

Where could he be? We’d all been ready and waiting for Marciano to show up so the paparazzi doesn’t start assuming drama about our so called love life.

I called him one more time and when he didn’t pick up, I cut the call turning back to my best friends. I shook my head and they pulled me in a hug.

“I just want him to care” I said mumbling into Kay’s neck.

“Shh…. You have to be strong babe,this isn’t the end of your love life,you’re just beginning. Right now, this graduation, this is your fresh start,college,wherever you’re planning to go after this, you can find someone who truly cares and loves you like the way we don’t as friends. But you have to hang in there…I promise,it’ll only be for a little while” I nod at her words.

Just….hang in there. For a little while….

He said it himself,after the contracts were signed,we had our different lives so I had no reason or any right demanding for his presence.

With that,anger and determination filled my body.

I don’t need him. I don’t need him. That’s it, if he wants to mess around with different women and get an STD, I wouldn’t care.

Nope!not anymore.

I nodded as I got out of Kay’s shoulder and I wiped away my tears.

“That’s my girl” she shoved me playfully by the shoulder.

Heck I did perfectly fine without this dickhead, not attending my graduation won’t change anything.

With that, I told both Marciano’s and I’s parents, that we could just leave without them.

Marciano’s father scowls as he tries calling Marciano again.

We soon tumble into black matching BMW cars as we were escorted to the high school grounds by police cars both in cars and motorcycles

Once we arrived,I was escorted to sit in the front row seats with the other school council members. I greeted them as we all took our seats.

Everyone else’s open gown was a dark shade of blue with a gold linings. While the school council members had opened maroon gowns and gold linings as well.

The ceremony started with a speech from our principal.

an

hour

later

“Now,its my greatest honor and pride to call up our school’s valedictorian of the class 2019, Leona Anastasia Kingstone” everyone erupted in claps and some stood up while cheering as I blushed standing up walking up to the podium of the theater stage.

“Thank you principal Robertson…” With that I said my small inspirational speech.

By the end of it,everyone stood up cheering and clapping as my parents both had tears down their cheeks as they clapped their hands.

“Thank you Leona. I’d like to acknowledge that through Leona,this school’s baseball team is going to be participating at nationals in Washington DC in December. Leona,you have received an open sports scholarship in baseball,what do you have to say to that?” I was still at the podium.

“Thank you. Well, I’ll repeat what I say in every wins we get for this school,I couldn’t have done it alone,I had friends,family,the support that I needed from my team in order to get there. Please stand up if you’re part of the baseball team,junior,senior” with that students stood up, those who weren’t wearing gowns from the juniors who attended this years graduation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the future successors of our baseball team” everyone clapped again before the juniors and seniors took their seats.

“And the scholarship? I wish to give it to someone who needs that scholarship more than i do. My #1 team player that I always backed me up in every game, come up here Kaycee Rose” Kay looked up shocked as some of our school mates next to her urged her to come up to the podium.

“If it were up to me, I wanna give this scholarship to Kaycee, she’s had my back in every game. She’s just as good as me and perhaps even better but we both know that isn’t true” the crowd laughs as Kaycee walks up to me and pulled me in a hug.

“Thank you” she whispered in my ear.

“You deserve it Kay. I love you” I said as she had tears in her eyes.

“One of the most smartest people once told me to hang in there. Just hold on for a little longer, for you seniors who are graduating today, you made it,we’re just getting started at what life has to offer us. You junior and freshmens? Hang in there,just for a little longer. You’ll get there… It gets hard at first,I admit it myself,but, you’ll adjust and adapt. Sky’s the limit “with those words, the crowd stands up and claps loudly like rain as I walked back down to take my seat with Kaycee.

•••••••••

present time

I forgot about what Marciano did as I wiped away my tears. I bumped into someone’s chest as I was making my way back to my family who were waiting for me.

“Oh sorry” I said picking up my graduation hat.

Looking up, my eyes met dark brown ones.

Jared.

I bumped into someone’s chest as I was making my way back to my family who were waiting for me.

“Oh sorry” I said picking up my graduation hat.

Looking up, my eyes met dark brown ones.

Jared.

---

He held my cheek as he wiped away the tears that I didn’t know was there.

His eyes move behind me to the slow closing door,where Marciano was standing puffing on his cigar.

“Did he hurt you?” He asked angrily and I shake my head.

“Its nothing. I’m fine” I said laughing nervously knowing he saw right through it.

“Tell me the truth Leona” he says and I shake my head.

“I-its fine” I said before I turned around to walk away but he grabs my wrist softly.

“Wait” he says. I abruptly stopped.

“I….I….you looked great today up there” he says and I blushed.

“Thanks. You look good too “ he chuckles at my speechless face.

“Y’know, what you did for Kay back there was a really nice thing to do. Kay and I are neighbors and stuff,and I know she’s had it rough through life with her foster parents abusive relationship towards her and I think what you did was pretty cool” I smiled nodding.

“Yeah,its no big deal. Kay deserved that scholarship more than me” we walked down the hall.

“Care to join me and my family for lunch?” I asked as he shook his head.

“Nah its fine. You guys go on ahead. I’ll be fine” I frowned.

“Ok,well,take care” he leaned over missing my cheek with a light hug.

“You too” I said pecking his stubbled cheek.

“See you at prom tonight” I said and he nodded stuffing his hand into his pocket as I walked to my family outside.

“What did he say?” Marciano’s father, Eduardo asked.

“He’s….. He’s not coming. Let’s just go” I said and we leave…

Marcia and mum start changing the subject and I enjoy the things we talk about,I laugh about afew things as we got in the limousine and we leave for the restaraunt where my best friends and their families were meeting us there.

•••••••••••• I patted down my red floor length dress. My hair was curled and pinned to perfection.

It was a messy bun with curly strands framing my face. The red lacy red dress from Jovani. It hugged my curves like a second skin and I smiled.

I felt….pretty.

It had a low back and pushed my boobs perfectly and matched my tan skin complexion.

“Honey?are you ready?” I heard mum ask and I pulled on my black stilleto heels.

I opened the door and both my mother and mother in law gasped as I heard them subconsciously take a picture.

“Oh dear”

“Woah” I laughed at their reaction.

It was around eight o’clock. We got back from The Gregory Restaraunt afew hours ago, I had taken an afternoon nap when we got back cause I was gonna stay out late tonight.

Marciano didn’t show up and at this point,I stopped caring and expecting that he’d change when I knew he wouldn’t. Cause truly, waiting for him was like waiting for rain in the deserts,useless and disappointing…..

“Oh my,dear Lord. Wait till Eduardo and your father sees you” Marcia say’s and my mother just stared shockingly with a nod.

“Ok,you guys are creeping me out. Let’s go” I said laughing lightly as mum took pictures of me.

We walked downstairs and saw both Eduardo and my dad chatting until they saw me,dad choked on his whiskey and Eduardo started coughing his cigar.

Marcia and mum laughed at them and took a boomerang at their reaction.

The door bell rung and I frowned.

It can’t be the girls. We promised to meet at school where prom was held.

The maid walked into the living room.

“Master Leonardo, there is a man named Jared here. He says he’s here to take young Ma’am Leona” I was confused.

Jared?

I walked to the door and smiled seeing him look up and our eyes met. He smiled and I looked at the box he had.

I felt like crying.

“Hey” I said and he just gapes at me.

“Wow. You look….wow” he looked good too.

The tux fit him perfectly. He wore a red tie,and black suit. He looked….cute,handsome perhaps.

“I-I bought this for you” he says gesturing to the wrist flower thingy in the box.

“Thanks” I said and face palmed mentally.

“Please,come in” he chuckled and walked in.

“Honey, you is this?” I heard dad ask.

“This is my friend,Jared” I said introducing Jared.

“Hello sir, I’m Jared Wills” Jared introduced himself as he shook my dad’s hand.

“Wills?your father is Rick Wills?” Jared nodded looking down.

Everyone in town knew Rick Wills. He was what you could call a dangerous man. A druggie with a history with sexual assault but I knew Jared wasn’t like that. He would never hit a woman. Thankfully my mum stepped in and changed the topic.

“You’re my married daughter’s prom date?” My mum asked emphasizing the married part.

“Yes ma’am. If only she let’s me” I nodded and he puts the wrist flower on me.

“Is it ok?too tight maybe?” I shook my head and looked down at the flower.

“Ok,let’s pose for the camera” I smiled as we took some poses.

Mum captured pictures when he was tying the wrist flower on me,the smile on my face and his concentration on my hand.

“Ok,your ride is here. Be safe. And Wills?” My dad says.

“If I hear you hurt my daughter, I’ll kill you myself” Jared nods.

“Yes sir” we walked out, Jared opening the limo door for me as we got in.

“Thank you. Its been like,my bucket list wish. For a guy to take me to prom” I said and he smiles at me.

“Don’t thank me. Thank you for accepting me to take you. I know it was unexpected but I just…..this might sound weird, but I really have been wanting to take you to prom. Then I found you got married, I felt like I’d lost something so dear to me” he says and I just stared at him.

Marciano’s

POV

I walked up to the manor and looked at my wristwatch.

I’m not late….I think.

I had the wrist flower thing as I walked in.

I walked into the living room hearing the chatters from outside.

Walking out, I saw both Leona and I’s parents. They were laughing and chatting away until I cleared my throat.

They stopped and turned to look at me. Leona’s father having the most pissed off look.

“Its about fucking time” he says and I see Leona’s mother gulp looking at her husband with fear evident in her eyes.

“What the fuck are you doing here Marciano?” Dad asked angrily and my mother stood up with Leona’s mother as they walked back inside.

“I came to take Leona to the prom. Where is she?” I asked and Leona’s father,Leonardo scoffed.

“She left…..FOUR FUCKING HOURS AGO!” he launched himself at me and tackled me to the floor punching me across the face.

“Howpunch dare you! You made my daughter cry punch herself to sleep punch you’re fucking worthlesspunch you useless piece of shit!* punch*” he got off me.

“Leave my house. GO!” I got off the floor and wiping away the blood on my nose.

Damn,this old man can throw a punch.

“I can do more than afew taps on your fucking face Marciano” he says. Did I say that out loud?

I leave as I drove to the school.

The prom was in full swing. I walked in, seeing one of Leona’s best friends.

Grace and Chelsea.

“Hey,have you seen Leona?” Chelsea shook her head.

“She already left. Went to her resort room for the night with Jared” I scrunched my brows.

“Who the fuck is Jared?” I asked gripping Grace’s arm and Chelsea punched my face before hissing in pain.

“Ow fuck!hey, don’t touch my girlfriend like that,you dick” she says and wrapped her arms around Grace pulling her away.

Jared?who the fuck is he?

Resort room?there’s only one resort in town

Hill view Resort….

With that information,I leave headed for Hill view resort.

The prom was in full swing and we were just enjoying ourselves. I laughed and danced with Jared.

He twirled me around and pulled me to him as a slow song started.

met-

I lay my head on Jared’s shoulder as one of his hands was on my waist and the other one holding my hand. My other free hand was lightly holding his other shoulder.

We swayed to the music softly and I feel his lips peck my hair.

When the song ended, we just stared into each others eyes until I leaned in kissing him. His eyes closed and my mine followed in pursuit as I wrapped my hands around his neck ,running a hand through his hair has he deepend the kiss.

His hands hesitantly on my hips with the other hand on my chin,holding my face. I smiled against his lips and I break it slowly.

“That was amazing” he says and I blushed as the girls squealed obviously seeing that heated kiss.

Jared chuckled as he pecks the side of my head his arms snaking around my waist.

“Yo Jared!” I heard his friends from the football team hollering at us.

“Get some buddy!” I laughed and he blushed a bit.

Did I forget to tell you,Jared is the school’s football quarterback and he has a secured sports scholarship to Stanford university.

“Congrats dude” his friends say and Jared just shook his head with a smile before he turns back to me.

“Its almost 12. I don’t wanna get you in trouble with curfew stuff. Do you want me to drop you back home?” I shook my head.

“We hired out the resort in Hill View. We should go there” I grab his hand and we say goodbye to his guy friends.

“Get some” his friends hollered as Jared just put his middle finger up to them and got in the limo that took us to Hill View.

We checked in and walked to the rooms. There was five hill view suites already paid for to accommodate my best friends and I.

We walked into mine and I take off my heels.

“Its nice” Jared says looking around the room.

“Do you want something to drink?” I asked opening the fridge only to find it packed with food.

What can I say?the girls and I came prepared.

“Maybe just a soda” I took out a can of grape juice soda and handed it to him as I took out some packets of dorito chips.

“Come on,let’s watch a movie” I took a hold of his hand as we took a seat on the sofa.

We watched a movie and there was already so much tension.

He switched off the TV. “Leona,that kiss. Did you do it because you wanted to?or was it cause you’re drunk?” I frowned.

“I….I wanted to” I said and he sits closer to me.

“Do you mean it. Did you regret that kiss Leona?” I shook my head and he smiles. He leans in and I do too as our lips locked in an intimate kiss. He deepens the kiss and I let his tongue in my mouth.

I ran my hand through his hair as he lay me down on the couch. I break the kiss.

“I….I’m a virgin and I don’t want my first time on a couch “ he stares at me looking for any hint of dishonesty.

Why don’t people believe me when I say I’m a virgin?

“It’s ok. We don’t have to go all the way” he says and I shake my head.

I want to.

“I want to. Please” he sighed nodding.

“Let’s go to a bed then” he says and takes my hand as we walked to the master bedroom.

He sits down and I stood on the side of the bed as I leaned down staring at his beautiful green eyes. My hands on his shoulder as my hair falls down to my face.

His hands were on my thighs now, trailing up and down the side of my thighs as we just stared into each others eyes.

“Are you sure about this?I understand if you’re not ready yet. We can wait “ I shook my head placing my lips on his. His hand go to my knees and he brings my knee to bend over his side,my other leg follows in pursuit, I’m now straddling his hips,sitting on his lap.

Fast forward,now I’m laying almost naked under him,only my lingerie waiting to come off and I’d be completely naked under him. He takes a few seconds and just stared at me. “Fuck! You’re so beautiful” his lips descends to my lips and I feel his hand glide over to my heat.

I moan in his mouth as he slid his hands inside my panties and I break the kiss,bucking my hips softly as I breath down his neck feeling the urge to pee.

Jared’s hand glides to my folds “You’re so wet baby” he whispered in my ear and he massages them softly before he slowly slid a finger inside me.

I gripped his broad shoulders and I can’t help but let a moan escape. “Fuck!you’re so tight. You’re literally squeezing my finger baby” he says and I try to not squeeze him but I end up doing the opposite.

I try to adjust to fingers as he slid two fingers,then three. He slid a condom into his own shaft.

He aligned himself at my entrance and in a quick buck of his hip,he’s whole length is inside me. A breathless gasp escapes me as he keeps still letting me adjust.

“Take it out! Ow!it hurts” I cried into Jared’s shoulder.

Jared pulled out and started frantically apologizing when the door swung open and a pissed off Marciano stood.

He raped her. He raped my wife…

The guy,this must be Jared.

Jared quickly got a spare bed sheet and wrapped around MY wife. “Marciano?what are you doing in here?” She asked confused as Jared pulled on his pants.

I strode over to them at the end of the room as he stood in front of Leona protectively.

I punched Jared across the face as he fell to the ground. Leona cried and went to help Jared up but I pushed her away and punched Jared again over and over again.

He raped my wife!

“Marciano!stop!please stop!you’re going to kill him!please!stop!” I was so blinded by rage that I didn’t realize until Leona was lying on the ground clutching the bedsheets as she held her now bruising cheek.

“What the fuck is wrong with you!you can’t just hit her like that!” Jared says as he pushed me off him. He punched my face and I felt my nose breaking.

“Lee?are you ok?” Jared got off me after he landed three more punches on my face.

He picks up Leona and took her outside and I walked out seeing Leona on the counter as Jared slowly put an ice pack on my wife’s cheek.

“I’m scared of him” Leona says as he leaned into Jared’s chest and she cried softly.

She’s scared…..of me?

“I got you Leona” Jared’s annoying voice says.

“Does it look noticeable?can people tell that I got hit?” Leona asked.

“Yeah. Hopefully,the ice will help it ease up the pain” Jared says and I walked to them.

“You can leave” I told Jared but my eyes were on Leona who clutched Jared’s bare shoulder turning her face away from me.

“Like hell I’ll leave after what you did. You should be ashamed of yourself. You hit a woman, I don’t fucking care if you’re a man of high status, I’m staying. Your own wife doesn’t feel safe around you. That?…. That’s just a low move,to hit her. You can’t hit a woman no matter what” he picks up MY wife and laid her in bed as Leona slept soundly.

He brought over a pillow and blanket and slept on the couch in the living room.

“Don’t you fucking dare go in there” he warned me and I rolled my eyes as I walked into the room where my wife slept soundly.

Jared stood by the door frame as I walked over to Leona’s sleeping form, I sat by the bedside and Jared leaves thankfully giving my wife and I some privacy.

I leaned over and kissed her bare shoulder.

“I’m so sorry Leona. I didn’t mean to hit you “ I mumbled into her smooth skin.

Leona’s

POV

Its been a week since Marciano had hit me.

Its also been a week since I’ve seen Marciano. He left for Italy that morning when I woke up.

The media had been suspicious as to why he left earlier than me.

Jared and I cleared things out and I don’t know what we are right now. Friends?yeah,definitely not that.

Today,I leave for Italy.

Where I’m supposed to start fresh with my life and yesterday I spend the whole day with the girls doing girl stuff.

I put on a pair of denim blue fitting jeans, and an off shoulder red tucked in blouse. I put on sandal black heels as I let my curly ironed hair down my back and my chest.

I had all my clothes packed away in my many rose gold matching suitcases.

The guards walked in and took my things outside. I looked through my bookshelf where it was packed with my favourite books,collections and trophies of course.

Along with my pictures with my best friends.

I’m gonna miss all of this…

•••••• We arrived at the airport and I saw the white Porsche jet waiting for me.

My parents got outve their cars and my beat friends and some people from school piled out of the tinted small bus we hired.

I hugged each and every one of them until it came to Jared.

“I’ll call you when I get there” I said hugging him and he holds me tighter before pulling away.

I forgot to mention, Jared had taken me on a date two days after our little turn of events during prom night.

I guess we’re dating now,or something. We did it on the back of his car underneath the stars and I loved my first time. It made me happy that we did it not because we were feeling horny or a bit drunk but we both wanted it.

Of course he wore protections and to be on the safe side,I had taken emergency contraceptive pills just to be safe.

No one but Jared and the girls found out about what Marciano did to me and let’s just say,they won’t be liking Marciano any time soon.

Nessa called him up and told him she’d cut off his hand that touched me and make him eat it.

Gross….

I farewelled everyone before the paparazzi could show up.

Thirty One

Leona’s

POV

I arrived in Italy a day after I’d boarded the jet.

“Thank you for flying with us Mrs Vasilevosky. Come again next time” said the head hostess and I smiled thanking her before I got off the plane.

There were already a total of ten BMW cars waiting,parked up in a straight line.

I looked around. I’m in Italy!

There were people,most probably the paparazzi trying to take pictures the best they could through the gate gaps that weren’t covered in black cardboard like material.

The doors of the BMW opens all at once and Marciano emerged from the BMW in the middle. He wore a black shirt, a few buttons opened on them along with black pants.

Typical.

The guards went over to take my suitcase to the cars as Marciano now stood in front of me.

“How was your flight?” I didn’t know until now that I missed his voice.

“It was great. Thanks” he just nodded as he guides me to the cars but before I could get in,he pulls his lips to mine.

I’m shocked. What the hell?

“The paparazzi might become suspicious if we didn’t show affection after being apart for a whole week” I realized he was right.

But was it necessary to kiss me on the lips?a peck on the cheek wouldn’t be so bad.

Marciano closes my door as he comes around to the other side and slid in the car. When he closed his car door,so did every other car door close that wasn’t mine.

Its like, they were taught to do this. Until they had it to perfection.

The first car moved and the second followed in pursuit. Then two more cars until we also started moving.

“We can drop by in the city to eat something. You arrived around lunch and I havent had lunch so we’ll go to a restaraunt” I just nodded leaning against my seat.

“Sure. I’m just…..gonna take a nap” I said sleepily as he slid in closer towards me and he rested my head rather on his shoulder blade.

He was saying something but I didn’t catch on cause I was super tired.

Thirty-Two

Marciano’s

POV

“I missed you, y’know” I said as Leona lay her head on my shoulder blade already passed out.

I kiss her curly locks loving the honey and coconut shampoo scent of her hair.

“Ciano” she mumbled and I give her a side glance before I made her more comfortable by placing her on my lap as she lay her forehead , sleeping soundly on my broad shoulder.

“Boss,where to?” The driver Simo asked me in Italian.

“Take us to the restaraunt” I said as I pulled a blanket over my wife’s sleeping form and rested my head against hers occasionally pecking her sweet smelling curly hair

••••••

“Boss,we’re here” Simo says and I look out,my arms tightening around Leona’s waist. She stirs a bit before she wakes up against me.

She looks down and up my chest before her eyes land one,I’m already staring at her.

She quickly scurries off my lap and I feel angry.

Why did she do that? She’s my wife,she’s suppose to stay on my goddamn lap until I goddamn say she stops.

I glared at the direction she was looking at which was my head guard Simo standing awkwardly outside our door.

The guard opens Leona’s car side and she slides out,her curly hair bobbing as she climbed off the high car onto the cemented ground.

We had parked up the VIP parking lot for me only when I come around to have dinner here at the restaraunt. I have many restaraunts, hotels,resorts,nightclubs, banks, shipping companies and many more small business that I own around here in Italy.

I clenched my jaw and fist when we walked into the restaraunt and almost immediately, all the men from their tables and waiters stared at us- most specifically her…..

I want nothing more than to gauge out their eyeballs right now for even looking at MY WIFE!!!!!!

I also have to make it up to her. For hitting her…..twice

Fuck! I really need to start getting my shit together. But she needs to keep her distance from me. She will get hurt because I’m a dangerous man. And having her as my weakness can lead to both our downfall.

I dismiss my dark thoughts as I wrapped my arm around her waist and walked us to our private seats.

Thirty Three

Upon arriving at the villa/mansion building which belonged to Mariano, I got settled in and completely ignored him as I had a long nap from jet lag.

When I woke up,it was around the mid afternoon. I changed outve my clothes into something baggy after a nice warm relaxing bubble bath. I had my curly hair in a messy ponytail with curly bangs to the front and sides of my face.

I pulled on bootie shorts,a crop t shirt that says TOO HOT FOR YOU on it. I walked downstairs barefoot as the soft music of the piano rang through the whole house.

Hmm,cliche.

I descended the stairs greeting one of the maids who obviously gave me a fake smile.

Um…OK?

I walked passed her and walked into the direction of the kitchen. Thank god I already got the tour of the whole house before I hit the hay earlier.

I opened the fridge,humming to myself as I scrolled through my Netflix account on my phone looking for a good movie to watch.

Hmm The Kissing Booth 2.

Yeah,this’ll do.

I pressed the download tab and saw that it started downloading.

I decided on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Midway making my third sandwich which was red lettuce,tomatoes,ham,cheese and toasted bread on the grill, the front door opened and I hear loud chattering.

The chattering all stop and I turned around coming face to face with Mariano, and two unfamiliar looking guys.

“Woah…..well hello angel” I can’t help the blush that reaches up my cheeks and neck at the brownish blonde haired guy with bright green eyes.

“Um…hi” I greeted as I quickly put my new back of sandwiches on the large round plate.

I noticed Mariano scowling at my outfit. OK,he cannot blame me. I didn’t know these men would be here.

“Go and change” he says darkly and I feel my heart racing.

“N-no” I said back in a hesitant tone.

“Excuse me?” He says in surprised shocked tone. I just ignored him and wiped my hands with the white kitchen cloth along with putting some sanitizer hand wash all over my hands.

“Hi. I’m ––” before I can finish,the green eyed man says

“Leona. We both know. I’m Ricardo. Marciano’s business partner and friend. This is my colleague Marcos” I shook their hands.

“Pleased to meet you. I just made a few sandwiches. Would you like some?” They both nodded.

Marciano spoke to them in Italian and they both nodded as they leave.

“Why are you dressed like this in front of these men?!” He yells gripping me by my ponytail and I hiss in pain as I gripped his hand over mine.

“Let me go” I struggled but soon my struggling is muffled by a pair of lips on my own. I don’t kiss back as he growls in protest.

His hands come down to my ass and he lifts me up onto the marble counter making me gasp. He takes this opportunity to dive his tongue into my mouth,I find myself kissing him back.

“Argh!” I moan hard against his lips when he - in a quick motion, grips my core through my shorts.

“Fuck! Such a big ass” he mumbled grilling my ass cheeks tightly before delivering a slap on my thigh as we make out.

I push him away as I panted and I see him holding his now bleeding bottom lip.

“S-stay the hell away from me” I said on the verge of crying as I lost my appetite and run up to my room.

I can feel my heart racing in my chest and everything’s blurs out as I’m engulfed in my nightmare- more like memory.

I switched off my phone by the power button as Marciano stood towering over me.

“Who are you talking to?” He asks in a deep angry tone.

“Jared” I answered honestly as an angry expression took over his face.

Thirty Five

“Its always gonna be him right?we can’t even try to make this marriage work because you’re you’re still tied to that boy!” He growls at me and I flinch.

“Well?you…..you haven’t been the best so far have you?all you do is sleep around and come the next day,you’ve got hickeys all over you. Who knows what you were doing last week when I hadn’t arrived yet” I answered back raising my voice to level his anger.

How dare this man?!! To even bother about me when honestly,he’s the one cheating!!

“Get the fuck out of my site!” He growls at me and I roll my eyes standing up to go upstairs when he grabs my arm harshly.

“And don’t you fucking roll your eyes at me ever again!” He growls as his grip around my arm tightened.

I winced and tried to free my arm but he doesn’t bulge.

“Marciano you’re hurting me” I told him as I tried to free my arm. He reluctantly releases my arm and I can’t help the tears that fall as I walked upstairs rushing.

•°•°•° That incident happened two week ago. Its been two week!!!!! Since I got here….since that argument…..

I don’t talk to Marciano and he doesn’t talk to me.

Tonight we’re attending an evening ball for charity.

Cure cancer charity here in Italy.

The bruise is fading little by little but I guess I have to put makeup over it tonight to cover it up.

Marciano is barely here….thankfully.

I can’t help the feelings I get when I’m around him. I’m curious about his life. Whether he eats at work or sleeps at night cause I never see him around.

I make him dinner every night and leave it in the microwave and every morning I find it gone and he’s nowhere in the house.

I’ve decided,I’ll do my part. I’ll be the best wife he can have. See past the abuse he’s already put me through.

Cover the bruises myself, keep up his and my family name and……and stop talking to Jared.

The girls call and we talk but I never mentioned anything about Marciano and I.

I curled my hair in long loose curls as I let it cascade down my back before I start doing my makeup.

Hopefully,my fake smiles will be good enough since my parents,the paparazzi and my in-laws will be there.

I put perfume cream all over my body and perfume before I pull on my dress.

Thirty-Six

I slipped on the red lacy velvet dress as it clung on my body like a second skin. It had this high slit up my thighs and low tight cleavage which made my boobs puff out somewhat.

I adjust my hair with the  dress leaving it down, as I found out it was a low back kinda dress. Thank god I’m letting my hair down.

I slipped into stiletto heels as I applied red lipstick giving me the model kind of look.

I took a few snaps by the mirror and send them to the girls.

The knock came to my door and I opened it seeing a maid.

“Hello” I greeted her as she never met my eyes.

“Hello ma’am. Master send this for you. He’s waiting downstairs for you” she hands me the box of Cartier Jewelry Collection.

“Thank you darling. Do you mind putting it on me?” I asked her as she shakes her head still looking down as I smiled at her.

I walked inside my room and she follows me to the makeup place where there’s a chair placed in front of the table.

She let’s all my hair to the side and opens the case as she takes out a beautiful diamond necklace that matches my dress. Its kinda like a choker but not exactly because it spreads around my collar bone area.

There is also a Egyptian diamond bracelet  and earrings.

I wonder how this much cost. Note to self: thank Marciano later….

Once I put on most of the accessories, she looks up at me before looking back down.

“Its OK. You can look. How do I look?” I asked her. She looks up slowly and her eyes widen at my face.

“I…..um…..y-you look…like a supermodel” she says and I blushed.

“Thank you love. I’m Leona” I said stretching my hand out as she stares at it. She shakes my hand.

“I’m Isobel with an O” I make an understanding look as I shake her hand.

“Thank you for helping me out Isobel” I told her as she blushed and nodded before she leaves.

OK??……

I get a fluffy white coat for around my body before I leave my room.

I walked down the hall and down the flights of staircase seeing Marciano by the electric operated fireplace in the living room drinking an alcohol.

I cleared my throat and he turned around choking on his drink as he starts coughing.

My eyes widen as I rushed over to him and patted his back.

“Are you OK? Did I give you a fright?” I asked him as he shakes his head still coughing before he eventually stops.

He’s in a fitting tux suit with a maroon tie. I stare at his slightly crooked tie and fix it as his eyes bore on me.

I soon finish but he then slowly places his hands on my hips.

“Leona, I……I want to apologize” he says making my heart stop for a second….

Thirty-Seven

I stare into his gray stormy eyes as he stares back at me. Even though I’m in heels, he’s taller than me.

I stared at him long enough to know he wasn’t bluffing. But being genuine.

“I’m sorry I’ve ruined the first few weeks for you as a married couple and I’m so sorry I’ve been a total dick towards you. I’m going to try and be a better man. That night at your parents house,I admit I did go to a whore house but all she did was give me that hickey and then I left to go sleep at my penthouse. And when you weren’t here last three weeks ago, I NEVER bought anyone home except for my business partners. It felt wrong even looking at another woman when I had you. I’d never cheat on you Leona, and I will try my best to control my urges and try not to hurt you anymore. I promise” he says and I smiled.

“OK……I forgive you, its all in the past now and I forgiven you. And I’m also sorry for…for hurting your feelings,thinking I’m cheating on you and our marriage, Jared and I are just friends,but to put you at ease,I’ve stopped talking to him completely, I think…its been two weeks since I last spoke to him” I told him as I slowly placed my hands on his suit chest dusting off imaginary dust as he pulls me in a hug, his face in my shoulder blade as he placed butterfly kisses over my shoulder, his arms tightening around my waist.

“You look breathtaking by the way. I literally lost my breath when I saw you” I laughed at what he says and he just smiled against my shoulder blade.

“Can I kiss you?” He asks and I nod as he cups my face delicately and kisses me.

The kiss is deep and full of meaning as I ran my hand through his curly nice locks.

One of his hands held me by my ass while the other glided over my slit up my thighs when I pulled away.

“Ciano, stop. We’re already five minutes late to the charity ball” I told him as he peppered kisses down my arm.

“What charity ball?” He asks still kissing me, when I stepped away from him and he snaps out of his daze.

“OK fine. I’m sorry. You’re just….you’re too beautiful, and that dress,its too revealing” he says and I roll my eyes.

“We’re gonna be late if I go change and I’m not changing. Period” I told him as he sighed wrapping his arm around my waist as he planted a kiss to the side of my head.

“Let’s go then mi amore” he says and we leave.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Upon arriving, the paparazzi is crowding over our limo as we get out to walk on the red carpet.

He take a few poses, Marciano’s eyes never leaving my body as he doesn’t even bother about the paparazzi.

We walked inside, his arm firmly on my waist as he from time to time kisses my neck or shoulder blade.

“Marciano!old friend, how have you been?” A man looking around the age of 50 with gray streaked hair in a tux says and Marciano’s grip around my waist tightened a bit.

“Lorenzo” he says, his voice deep as his whole demeanor changes in 0.01 seconds.

“Let me guess, this must be your wife, Leona. How are you darling?” He asks and grabs my hand kissing it as I smiled at him.

“I’m good thank you. Its nice to meet you….”

“Lorenzo. Lorenzo Fonsier” he says and I turned to Marciano.

“I’m going to get us something to drink while you go chat with Mr Fonsier” I told him as he nods taking me by surprise when he kisses me deeply….right in front of Mr Fonsier.

“I’ll see you later fiore” he growls in my ear squeezing my ass as he kisses my cheek and I blushed.

As I walked away, I spot my mama and papa. “Mum!dad!” I said excitedly as they turned to look at me.

“Baby!” My mum yells as she pulls me into a tight hug making me giggle.

“Hello papa” I told my dad as he smiles lovingly at me and kisses the crown of my head.

“My daughter. You look radiant in red” he says as he wrapped his arms around my mother’s waist.

“Thank you papa. I’m here to get some food. I’m starved and a drink for Marciano” I said pointing to where he was standing only to frown when I don’t see him on the other end of the room.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re starving” a voice growled from behind me as two strong hands held my hips in place as Marciano’s cologne scent drifted to my nose.

“Oh god,you frightened me” I said holding my beating chest. He kisses my cheek in silent apology and we turn to face my mother and father.

He straightened up, his arms still on my waist.

“Ma’am…. Sir….” He says respectfully and my mum smiles as my dad gives a dead stare.

Oh no…..

“You hurt my daughter or upset her again Marciano and I’ll make sure you never see her again” he says making Marciano tense up before nodding.

“Darling, we have guests to meet,see you later?” Mom asked and I nodded as they left.

“Are you OK?” I asked him once my parents left. He sighed. “Yeah, I’m fine fiore. Come here” he says and I blushed as he pulled me to his chest kissing the side of my head.

“I’m sorry I’ve hurt you before. I’m gonna try not to do it again” he says and I nodded.

“Its OK. I’m fine. We both agreed to put this behind us so let’s just leave it in the past. We can’t change the way things were but we can make tomorrow better” I told him and he pecks my forehead.

“I’m a lucky bastard for having you as my wife” and my heart stopped for a second before a smile took over my features.

Thirty-Eight

The night progressed on and I was in a surprisingly good mood.

We had started the fundraising, the bidding for a few famous artworks by famous artists. Jewelries,houses, sports cars and even a few breathtaking dresses that you don’t find easily in a Gucci and Prada outlet.

Throughout the bidding, I noticed a lot of men in business suits taking more than a single glance at me and I think Marciano noticed too cause then, he had a firm grip on my thigh clearly out in the open for everyone to see.

A worker in waitressing uniform walked up to us. “Good evening Mr and Mrs Scorpio. Sir, if you don’t mind, we were hoping to ask Mrs Scorpio if she wanted to volunteer in the fundraising. Its a program for the ladies to be showcased at the stage and the bidding to take them out on a date or just a dance for tonight . I hope you’re OK with that sir” the waitress said nervously.

“No.” Marciano says and I give him a frown. “What do you mean ‘no’? I want to take part. If it’s for charity fundraising then I’ll do it” I said as I turned to the waitress.

“Sign me up please” she nods giving me a smile at what I said.

As she walks away thanking the both of us, Marciano grips my waist tightly pulling me in a hug.

“You’re mine fiore” he says growling in my ear as he kisses my neck and I smiled against his tuxedo covered shoulder as my hand ran up his clothed chest.

“I know….but I want to volunteer too Marciano. I want to help and if this is the way then so be it. I’ll do it. Its just a harmless dance with a random gentleman if you can’t keep the bids up” I told him gripping his neatly wrinkle free tie and pulled his head down to meet my lips in a deep kiss.

He goes to deepen the kiss when the host speaks up again.

“Alright ladies and gentlemen. The biddings just got more interesting. This year, we’ll be bidding up a few very eye catching ladies for a dance. The conditions are, if the bids are above 14 million dollars, there will be a date with the lucky lady so gentlemen, get your wallets and checkbooks out and get ready!” He says and everyone claps their hand.

“To start of with, Jolie White, Beverly Summers and Christina Pavlova” wolf whistles came around from the large crowd from the bachelors and young business CEO of companies in New York.

“Let’s start with Jolie White. $500. Do I hear a $600?” Someone shouts out 650 and the bidding begins stopping at $40,000

————

“And now an interesting bid for tonight. The newly wedded Mrs Leona Scorpius” crowds cheered loudly as I walked up the stage tucking a strand of my curled hair behind my ear.

“And let the biddings begin. Let’s start with a $30,000. Do I hear a 40?” The man asks and men yell out a number digit higher than the other until someone yells 500,000.

“$500,000 dollars! Do I hear a higher bid?” The man asks again.

“1 million!” A familiar angry voice says and people gasp as I clap my hands like I was told to do for every higher bid.

“1 million dollars!do I hear a 2 million dollars?” The man asks.

“3 million!” The same voice that shouted 500,000 yelled.

“ 3 million dollars!do you I hear a higher bid?!“ The man asks to the crowd.

“7 million!” Marciano shouted out as the other man Mr Alec’handre Cartier.

“7 million dollars! Do I hear an 8 million?” The bidder announcer asks.

“10 million fucking dollars!” The man Mr Cartier says and Marciano stands up.

“23 million dollars!” Marciano says and everyone gasps clapping shocked just as much as I am in this moment.

“43 million dollars!” Mr Cartier says smirking when he saw me looking at him, he winks

“80 million dollars!” Marciano says again and Mr Cartier stands up as well.

“120 million dollars!” He says and the crowd quietened down waiting for a higher bid.

“120 million going once,going twice………”

“1 BILLION!”

“And sold to Mr Scorpio for a billion dollars. Our highest bidding tonight. Enjoy your dance sir and thank you for participating Mrs Scorpio “ I nod with a smile as I leave the stage. Mariano has this smug look on his face as he helps me off the stage.

“Why thank you kind sire” I said giggling as he mockingly bowed, a smile grazing his face as he pulls me by the waist. His eyes diverts behind me and I turn seeing Mr Cartier standing there looking angrily at us.

I turn back to Marciano as he grabs my face locking our lips and I pull away when I become a little light headed from the lack of oxygen.

“Sorry” he mumbled as he kisses my neck affectionately.

He holds my hand and takes me to the dance floor where we start slow dancing. I lay my head on his shoulder as he had one hand on my waist touching my ass shamelessly, while the other hand was in mine.

“so beautiful” he mumbles as his hand grips my ass as he grabs my neck, I look up at him as he locks his lips with mine in a heated kiss.

He deepened the kiss and I found myself wrapping my arms around his waist, gripping the side of his suit shirt. He dips his tongue in my mouth, gaining dominance in my mouth as I purposefully bit his bottom lip hard making him growl as he releases my lips, he bites the tip of my tongue and I whimper making him grip my left ass cheek.

“You feel that baby?” He growls against my lips staring down at me in lust, he grips me by my ass and brings me close to his….erected member. Hard as fuck on my flat belly area.

“Let’s go take care of it then” I said seductively as he bites my neck making me moan.

“I’m gonna fuck you into  next week baby” he says as we leave.

Of course me being the nice person I am, took my time in saying good bye to everyone.

It didn’t seem to stop him from keeping his hands all over me.

Marciano’s

POV

I couldn’t keep my hands off my woman. The hunger in me was very much evident as I kept on touching her breathtaking body.

Ever since I saw her in this very reveling dress, I couldn’t stop myself. My self control was thinning out by the minute and if we didn’t make love tonight,fuck!I’d probably gotten blue balls.

Yes you heard me, make love. Its not fucking when it comes to My Leona. Its making love. I’m in love with this woman ever since I put that ring on her finger on our wedding day, I realized I was very much in love with her.

I just realized that now when I found myself getting extremely possessive over her especially when Cartier bid for my woman too.

I love her with every fucking beat of my heart. I’d kill for her and I seriously think I’m loosing it because she’s all I ever think about.

I punish myself, training hardest I’d ever done, missed out on meals, took shots from my right hand man and whatever the fuck I could in order to punish myself and to teach myself not to hurt her.

Once she says her goodbyes, we head out and the limo was waiting for us. We were in the limo when I lost all control and basically pushed her down the seat as I hovered over her.

My hand trailed up her dress slit, feeling her smooth long legs as she moaned, breathing down my neck.

Fuck,how that was so arousing. Just the sound of her breathing down my neck and her silent breathy moans.

“Fotuttamente perfectto” I growled to myself as I worship her body. I kissed her neck sucking her neck casually as her necklace got in the way. I lock my lips with hers, I take full dominance in the kiss and she moans in my mouth when I trailed my hand higher trailing my fingers against her lingerie …

“Hmmhm Marciano!” She says as she squirms under me. I slide my fingers into her princess part as she gripped my wrist but not stopping me.

She breathed down my neck and when finally when my finger grazed over her clit, I feel a stinging pleasure on my neck just under my ear.

I groaned. “Fuck!” I groaned as she moaned against the skin of my neck, her teeth still latching onto my neck side as I thrusted three fingers inside her.

“Oh god Marciano!” She moaned loudly in the limo and I glance at the rear view seeing the chauffer looking at us, most specifically my wife’s fucking exposed thighs.

“Keep your eyes on the fucking road or that’ll be the last thing you see” I growled possessively.

No one looks at MY LEONA!!!!but me.

I kissed Leona lustfully, my tongue exploring her mouth delicately with a hunger only she could give me.

I grinded my big hard boner against her crying pussy and she stares at it before looking up at me. “We don’t have to go all the fiore. I’ll wait as long as you want” I panted as I pumped into her.

Her legs shook as she grips my wrist weakly. She gasped when she exploded on my fingers, her cum squirting out as I dove my head down and drank her out like a man looking for water.

“CIANO!!!” she moans gripping my hair as I tongue fucked her, practically sucking off from her clit.

I make my claim over her thighs, leaving a good amount of them all over her inner thighs and her mid thighs.

I kiss her affectionately, this kiss conveyed a hidden message. That I fucking loved this woman with everything in me.

And I’d kill every fucking man who tried to take her from me.

She’s mine. Mine to love, mine to fuck till she can’t feel her legs, she’s my fucking center of my messed up world and

My only weakness.

Forty-One

Marciano Scorpio, as soon as they reached the house, he picks up his woman swiftly and carried her inside.

They make out on the couch. The kiss is heated,full of lust and need and so much anger.

Marciano finds himself practically ripping off the cleavage area of Leona as she was pinned against the wall of the living room, like a hungry infant, he latched onto Leona’s perfect size tan breast as Leona moaned out of ecstasy and pleasure at the feeling.

She ran her fingers through Marciano’s in silent encouragement. “Good boy…” She moaned silently as the man growled in satisfaction at the compliment.

Marciano gripped the other breast in his hold as Leona moaned and slapped the man’s hand away. “That hurts baby….” Leona says as he watched the boy kiss the other breast tenderly.

“Bedroom” Leona moaned as Marciano picked up his wife and they rushed upstairs stumbling on the way at tines but that seemed to be the least of their problems.

Once they reached the bedroom, Marciano was pushed down the couch by Leona as she smacked his hand away which wanted to touch her.

“Uh uh. Wait here” she says as she leaves to change into a very reveling lingerie g string that barely covered anything and a pair of lacy bra that only covered the nipple.

She pulled on a pair of lacy panty hose,reaching her thigh. She slipped on a silk gown not revealing her attire just yet. She walked back out seeing Marciano waiting patiently at the couch.

She brought over her phone and played a very common strip song. Marciano took in a sharp breath, his hands palming his erected cock in his pants as he watched Leona’s every move like a predator.

Leona slowly slipped her silky robe that ended mid thigh as she watched Marciano with hooded eyes.

Inside she was a bit nervous. She’s never done this before, yet where did she get this confidence from?did someone spike her drink at the ball?

She moved moved to Marciano who looked pained as he knew the rule of stripping / lap dancing.

No touching the dancers.

Leona cat walked to him and he cussed. “Fuck baby….please….” He pleaded as Leona smiled.

“Shh….” Leona whispered putting her finger over Marciano’s lips as she turned around and sat down slowly, directly over his member.

She danced on Marciano’s lap, not facing the man, as she tiltered her head back. Marciano put his face over her shoulder biting her neck slowly as she smiled as she stands up, swaying her hips, she gets over Marciano’s lap, grinding onto him as gripped the couch tightly. “Leona please….” He begged shamelessly as Leona decided to put him out of his misery….wait, not just yet

“Are you going to hurt me again?” She asks in a whispering tone and Marciano shakes his head profusely.

“I will never. I swear to god….” He says in desperation.

“Go on…” She whispered and that’s all it took for the sex god Marciano to go at his hardest.

He gripped Leona’s ass which were on full display as he grinded himself into Leona’s already wet entrance.

He kissed his wife, touching her, grazing his fingers over her flawless body and perfect skin.

“On your knees” Marciano says as he grips Leona’s hair, she falls to her knees.

“Take my cock like a good girl baby, si?” He says and Leona nodded.

Marciano undoes his belt and boxers as he let’s his wife do his thing.

Although she wasn’t experienced in this region, and how to pleasure a guy, she’d watched enough porn to know what to do…

She works her fingers over his big 12 inch cock, thick and basically the veins of it popping slightly against the muscle. He was already dripping with so much precum yet Leona spat on the base before running her tongue over to the tip.

She kisses it delicately as Marciano groaned. Oh how he wanted to grip her head and shove his cock down her throat like he did to every other woman he’d encountered.

But Leona wasn’t ‘every other woman’ Leona was his wife, even though he might be the mafia king or whatsoever, he was not going to be one of those men who bossed their wives around. Although he didn’t make a very good impression in the first few weeks of their marriage.

“Fuck!LEONA!” He moaned loudly as Leona put her mouth to good use over the man’s cock.

Forty-Two

The next morning when Leona woke up, she felt very sore in every region….down there.

The man was indeed a beast in bed, and she had discovered that last night when he took her so many times,she’s lost count at Round 18 by the shower walls.

A heavy tatooed arm was draped over her very naked and sore body.

She moans in pain when she moves. Marciano is immediately awake at the sound of his wife’s distress. “Leona?love,what’s wrong?” He asks her and she grips her back.

“I wanna pee but….my legs hurt and so does my back and my whole body feels so tired. What time did we stop?” I asked him.

“Um….about two hour ago” he says looking at his wristwatch.

“Come ere baby” he cooed and lifts me up as I see a trail of blood on the sheets.

There goes my v card right there.

After Marciano helped me in the toilet, he got in with me in the bubble herbal healing bath and washed me clean.

I was super horny, as I basically crawled over his lap and sat down on his cock. “Fuck!” He hisses gripping the back of my head and he kisses me as he lifts me up by my hips and slams me down on his cock.

“After so many fucking rounds last night, you’re still so fucking tight” he groans and I try to….untighten myself and he cusses louder when I unintentionally gripping my walls around his cock.

“Fuck baby, I’m not gonna last long” he says and hugs me to his body as he thrusts into me,as I make hickeys on his neck and shoulder blade, his collar bone and his tatooed chest.

After we were done…..bathing, he got me breakfast in bed and cancelled his whole day’s schedule and decided to spend it with me cuddling and having sex whenever.

We took a few pictures and I was sleeping when Marciano took a few pictures of me sleeping. My favorite one was when my hair was all to the side, I was lying my stomach and my back and the peeks of my ass were showing which wasn’t covered in the bedsheets.

The other ones I took on his phone was on selfie mode in front of the bathroom mirror. He had his left arm wrapped around my waist, his hand buried in between my leg disappearing into my silky night gown as he made kisses on my neck.

The other one, also by the mirror, he had me bend over the bathroom counter, my lingerie covered ass was on full view, he was behind me, taking the picture shirtless as he gripped my ass aggressively. My makeup screamed sex since my lipstick was a nice perfect hot red color. My boobs cleavage looked good through the silk as it was showing cause I bended over. He took the picture when I ran my hand through my hair so it looked like those supermodels on magazines who run their hands through their hair while they took the photography shots.

“Don’t post those” I told him as I got in bed for the umpteenth time today. It was after lunch and we were just cuddling up.

“I want the world to know you’re mine Leona but I agree, these pictures are for my eyes only” I blushed at what he says as he wraps his arms around me.

“Sleep baby, I’ll wake you up later for another round” he whispers and I smiled nodding as he skims his fingers slowly and sensually down my legs under the bed covers.

He grips my ass that was bruised red a bit from the spanks he always gave me ass.

He spanks me again and I involuntarily moaned as he cupped my womanhood pressing his hard on against my back.

“Don’t tempt me fiore” he growls as he slipped his fingers into my underwear and pinched my clit lips. I moan.

“Please Ciano” I begged breathing heavily as he turned me around.

“ what do you want Leona?“ He growls darkly and I whimper when he thrusts three fingers inside me making me loose focus on what to say?

“E-eat me out. Please eat me out and I’ll let you fuck my tits again baby” I negotiate as he smirks.

“Deal”

Forty-Three

“Oh fuck!” Leona screamed in pleasure as she basically sat over Marciano’s face who ate her out like a hungry animal. “Come for me princessa” he growls and Leona came.

Once she came again, she got on her knees as Marciano sat up, Leona pumped his dick while they make out. Leona’s C cup sized boobs were on full display as she gripped Marciano’s cock in between her tits, pushing her tits together, Marciano groans as he thrusts up, fucking his wife’s tits as she spat on the tip before sliding her breasts repeatedly up and down Marciano’s cock.

“Fuck baby!I’m close” he says as Leona quickened her pace before she felt warm familiar liquid on her neck and broad shoulder and chest. Some even on her tits,

“You’re amazing” Marciano says as he tilts his wife’s head by the chin and kisses her lips before taking his thumb wiping it off her chest.

Leona grips Marciano’s wrist and directed the white liquid to her mouth as she sucked on his thumb. Marciano and licked off his own cum with his tongue as he kisses his wife giving her the cum that was his own.

“Come here big boy” Leona said leading them back to the readily made bed.

Marciano discovered his new leisure activity last night, when he liked sucking Leona’s breast.

When they both laid down, Leona lay over the pillow as Marciano lay on Leona’s chest, taking one of her breast, she smiled as he gripped it directing it over his mouth.

He sucks onto it and soon they both fell off to sleep.
