How could she want to go back to the family that had nearly killed her sister and could easily have killed her? They had fired their gunshots in the church with no regard for her life, but still she wanted them instead of me.
Her betrayal burned at my insides.
I owned her and it was time she understood that and learned to obey me.
It was the early hours of the morning now and it was still dark outside.
I had showered in the bathroom in the garage block, washing off Jacob’s blood, before returning to the bedroom where I found Juliana curled up and asleep. She was leaning against the headboard without the comforter over her and, instead, was hugging her arms around herself.
I could see her face stained with tears. She must have cried herself to sleep like that. I lifted her in my arms and slid her body between the covers.
She stirred, letting out a low moan. “Marco? What’s happened to Jake and Cornelio?” she asked, trying to sit up at the same time.
“That doesn’t concern you.”
She rubbed hard at her eyes. “Please, it wasn’t their fault. Jake was trying to help me, please don’t hurt them,” she said in a rush. “They were just following orders and—”
“Quiet!” I couldn’t talk about this now. “Lie down,” I carried on in a harsh voice.
“Wh-What are you going to do to me?” she asked, her voice shaking.
“What do you think I’m going to do? What has that pretty little mind of yours dreamt up as a fitting punishment?” When she didn’t answer, I continued. “Do you think I’m going to take you tonight? Is that what you’re hoping for, that I stop showing you mercy and instead take what’s mine?”
She stayed silent, her eyes wide and unblinking.
“Is your pussy creaming right now thinking about it, just like it was when we were in the shower yesterday? Did you get wet when I kissed you earlier, thinking about what else you wanted me to do?”
She must have realized how close to the edge I was because she just looked at me with those big eyes of hers, too scared to make a response.
“Lie down. Go to sleep.” I was too angry with her right now to punish her. Despite wanting, no needing, to fuck my little virgin tonight, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to control myself.
I wouldn’t hurt her in that way, especially when it was her first time. I might be a monster, but even I had my limits.
She looked unsure but knew better than to defy me in my current state. She slowly slid down under the covers while keeping her eyes on me.
I stripped off my clothes and climbed into bed beside her, for once not taking her into my arms, and I let sleep overtake me.
She would wait until tomorrow.
CHAPTER 20
JULIANA
As soon as I woke in the morning, the events of last night came rushing back into my mind.
I darted my eyes open and sat up quickly, at the same time looking at the other side of the bed to see if Marco was beside me.
His side of the bed was empty.
I worried about what had happened to my brother and Cornelio. I was finding it difficult to breathe as the possibilities stormed through my mind and I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to still my shaking.
I couldn’t even get up to shower. All I wanted was for my sibling to be safe. I just sat there on the bed, praying that Jacob and Cornelio would be alright, while knowing that there was no possibility that they would be.
When I thought about Marco, I couldn’t believe that only yesterday I had craved this man and enjoyed kissing him—that I’d fooled myself into forgetting everything I knew about him.
He was known as the most brutal Capo in the Mafia, and I had seen firsthand just how cruel he could be. This was a man who’d directed his men to shoot my sister, before brutally kidnapping me and ripping me away from my family and everything I knew—this was a man who would have no qualms about killing Jacob and Cornelio.
I knew in my heavy heart that my sibling wouldn’t be spared, and the thought absolutely horrified me.
