My enemy's daughter Chapter 1 Prologue

HE N R I C O

The noise of loose springs reverberates down the long, dark corridor, some roars are louder than others and come from every cell, but that's what happens when you take lunatics who can't find a foothold

to sleep and put them in the same place. Lying on top of the bunk bed

I share with one of my companions, I look at the torn photo of the

old newspaper that Guilhermino managed to bring me, the paper is

worn, and the color is fading as the days go by, however, I can still

see the smile of each member of the Leal family and the victorious

expression on their faces. Augusto obeyed and won the election in New

York, becoming governor of the state with a great advantage over his

competitors.

Something in me broke when my best friend brought me the wedding news, I didn't

believe it until he brought me this photo as proof, I know that deep

down he still hopes that I will move on and forget them all, erase

the idea of revenge and move on in my life as if nothing had

happened, but this is just another reinforcement for me to follow my

plan. You can't ask a man who's been tried and convicted for a crime

he didn't commit, someone who's had his life stolen and his heart

broken, to let it all go and move on. The woman I loved was married

to another man, acting like I didn't exist anymore, but all that was

about to change, I'm sure your father hasn't told you the whole

truth, and I'm coming back to take back everything that's mine for

right.

"Only now I don't feel anything, baby." I whisper, running my fingers

over her image, unable to take my eyes off her.

"No shame or pity. You're going to have to deal with me, and there's no

escape." I whisper, careful not to draw the attention of my

companions.

After a few more minutes of looking at the photo, I put it under my pillow

and try to sleep, closing my eyes and refusing to open them before a

new day, even with all the screams and various noises during the

night.

Some companions are running away today, and I had the option of joining

them and fleeing this place ahead of time, but Guilhermino put some

reason in me and I gave up. I can't go back and beat Augustus if he's

a fugitive, no, I need to have my freedom within the law, so I can

move the right pieces. Just a few more months. I repeat until I fall

asleep, then when I wake up the next day to a guard splashing me with

water and snarling a few curse words, I just smile and say I don't

know where my saddle mates have gone.

When night comes again, I dream of the girl with the green eyes and I

imagine doing the most wicked things to her in front of her lying

father and fake sister, until these dreams become my obsession and I

start dreaming during the day too, creating the most hateful scenes

and dialogue, wondering if the sweet youngest Leal has any experience

with men and would be capable of giving me pleasure, but also loving

the idea of being first.

She will hate me in the end, but she will also learn about herself and

doubt her feelings. I'll break you to the core, take your body for

me, and keep your soul for my delight. Anyway, my plan starts and

ends with her. I will be your end.

"Hey." Antonio, a guard I don't completely hate and keep on the payroll,

calls out to me, pushing a printout of some digital newspaper he

likes to post about the Leal family. "You owe me." he says

and walks away, yelling at some inmates who have started an argument

over who can lift the most weight.

I shove the piece of paper inside my pants and go back to the cell,

after making sure I'm alone, I remove the paper from inside my pants

and read the small text above the photo. I ignore the editor's

fawning over Augusto and focus on the names mentioned, my eyes

dropping to memorize the features of my ex-wife's new husband.

The bitter taste of betrayal dulls my taste buds, causing an overwhelming

need to play, but I don't. I hold the gaze of the man in the photo

and then follow his hand, one arm around his wife's waist and the

other around his little sister. It seems like a perfect family, but I

have a strange feeling about the asshole, especially since his hand

is touching what's mine.

I take a deep breath, closing my eyes until I push the rage out of the

dark room I keep in my head and get my actions back under control.

Just a few more months.

Days pass and I wallow in self-pity, seeking refuge in revenge, fights,

and exercise.

I finish my set of weightlifting with the equipment improvised by some

inmates and rest on the cement bench, closing my eyes to take a deep

breath and relax my muscles. Someone taps my shoulder.

"Hey pretty boy" I would recognize that voice anywhere by now, it was

the first lesson I'd learned since getting here, and even though we

never exchanged a word with him, I knew it was worrying to have his

attention on me right now. Shadow isn't known for making friends, no,

last time I was warned, I was told not to be alone with him in the

dark if I didn't want to become his little doll.

"What do you want!?" I growl, hoping the idiot realizes he's a

nuisance. He looks at me with a crooked smile that tells me he's

unimpressed. I roll my eyes.

The guy is six feet tall and covered in tattoos, including a skull on his throat, so of course I didn't intimidate him.

"I just thought you needed to relax." he says with a shrug, and I

eye him suspiciously.

"I don't like guys." I speak and her smile dies.

"And you're too skinny for my liking, idiot. I'm here to offer you a

cigarette, not the gun I keep between my legs." I almost smile

at his shitty comparison, then remember I'm in jail and this guy is a

murderer.

"And you are offering me this?" He snorts.

"I'm a guy like a guy, but that doesn't mean I'm hitting on you,

handsome." I pinch my eyebrows together.

"Okay, sorry if I was judgmental."

"Yes, you were." he cuts me off, and I look down at the cigarette

between his fingers.

"What does this offer mean, then?"

"It's just cigarettes, man. That shit kills, so you don't need to get all

emotional." He holds out the cigarette again, and I take it,

letting him light it for me. "This is shit, maybe death is a

better way out." he says, blowing smoke upwards, his gauze lost

in a group of faces a few feet away from us. I shrug, holding the

smoke in longer than I should.

"What stops you, then?"

"My daughter" reveals and surprise washes over me, but considering

he doesn't seem willing to say anything more about it, I swallow my

curiosity.

"And you?" he asks after a while.

"Revenge."

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised.

It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Temple Madison
4.4

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
