"It's only fair to have some fun as well" I muttered to myself, ready to leave my dignity behind as I cheerfully reached for the bulge in his pants, letting my fingers roam wild as I pulled out his already hardened d**k, teasing the tip with my tongue as I marvelled at his size. "Suck it and don't stop until I tell you to" he ordered whilst grabbing a firm hold of my hair, yanking my head backwards. "Stop" I muttered inaudibly, "you're gripping too hard". "What? Can't handle it a little rough?" He mocked, yanking me up by my hair, pinning me against the wall. "i have no intention of being gentle with you, so if you can't sit pretty and take it like a good girl, then you're welcome to leave, but making that decision might cost you your life, because I don't like it very much when women walk out on me, especially during intimacy" "so...what's it going to be?" I smirked lightly as I answered his question by shoving him to the bed. "Then it seems I have no choice but to please you tonight, you can use me however you see fit and I'll ensure to ride you like my life depends on it" I responded, my clothes slowly falling to the floor layer by layer as I got on top of him, smiling in satisfaction as I buckled his belt around his wrist, restraining him to the bed as I positioned myself, ready to take full control. Elisa darkhorse, betrothed to Damian Greyhound but is met in matrimony with him young uncle (Leonard Greyhound) instead. will Damian give way for their relationship to blossom? or will the relationship prove fatal as a toxic love triangle is formed?

LOVE BENEATH RIVALRY Chapter 1 Alliance

(Elisa's POV)

I stormed my way down the hall, headed for my father's office, eyes blazing with fury as I marvelled at the audacity of the Greyhounds to demand my hand in marriage despite our decade old rivalry.

I finally arrived at the entrance of my father's office with only a wooden door standing between me and the impending confrontation. I forcefully kicked the door open, strutting in without a single sense of decorum as my gaze landed on our incredibly unwelcomed guests.

"Elisa! Darling, you're here" my father voiced, signaling for me to compose myself as he walked towards me with open arms, ushering me into the room.

I shoved right past him, taking a seat at the very top of the conference table. All eyes landed on me as I melted into the seat reserved for my father, roughly placing my feet on the table whilst staring directly at the envoys sent from the rival gang (The Greyhounds) to propose marriage. "So...you're the envoys those bastards sent to demand my hand in marriage, right?"

The older looking one of the bunch sighed in disappointment as our eyes met. "It seems the rumors were true, the white rose of the darkhorse clan is indeed nothing but a pretty face masking a nasty personality. Little girl you should try restraining your unpleasantness and show some respect for your elders" he mocked.

I chuckled upon hearing his words. "Elders?" I repeated, pulling out a loaded gun, pointing it directly at him. "Would you like me to show you exactly what it means to be an elder?" I questioned, my fingers teasing the trigger right before his eyes. "When you're an elder, doesn't it mean you'll have the privilege of kissing your gravestone long before the rest of us? Because my nasty personality is really urging me to put a bullet right in that wrinkly old mouth of yours"

My father immediately stepped in, snatching the gun from my grasp. "Compose yourself Elisa" he pleaded in an attempt to calm my anger.

"Sir Eliot, it seems your daughter's presence isn't of much use as it proves difficult for her to show some restraint. I suggest you excuse her in order for us to reach an agreement regarding the matter at hand" the old man chimed.

"It seems you really do have some balls Old man, I mean they might be worn, dried up and wrinkly but it's still there so I commend you for that. Now listen and listen very carefully, I'm guessing my father has already told you this but I'll repeat it once more only for the sake of your obvious hearing deficiency, I will not under any circumstances marry into your pathetic excuse for a bloodline. Now... why don't you take your stupid self and go report everything I've said to your master, like a good dog"

"INSOLENT!!!" He barked, slamming his hands on the table. "Shuuu...don't yell too loud" I interrupted. "You could raise your blood pressure to a dangerous level with that much anger. Please consider you age before acting out next time"

Father's fury finally boiled over as he raised his voice, desperate to call me to order. "ELISA!!!" He yelled "WHAT!!!" I responded, matching his energy. "Apologize, now!!!" He demanded.

"Apologize? Are you seriously siding with him over me? Don't tell me you're actually thinking of entertaining their proposal?" I question but my retort was met with heartbreaking silence from dad that subtly gave away his thoughts. "Tell me you're joking? you really intend to marry me off to the same people responsible for mom's death?"

"Elisa that's enough, the matter hasn't been decided yet" he responded, still avoiding my gaze. "Hasn't been decided? Why are you even considering it!!!? Have you forgotten what they did to mom, how they ruined our family? Why are you..." unwilling to continue indulging my antics, he interrupted. "If you're not willing to sincerely apologize to our guests, then leave. Your opinion on this matter will remain irrelevant as long as you continue behaving in such an undignified manner" just as he responded, the head of the Greyhound's family (Nicholas Greyhound) finally arrived.

"What an interesting girl" he commented.

My father immediately rushed over to his side. "Mr Greyhound, I didn't expect you to personally attend the meeting to discuss such a trivial matter. Please, have a seat"

I watched in confusion as my father attentively severed the same man that had brutally murdered my mother right before my eyes.

"Dad, what do you think you're doing?" I questioned, barely holding back my tears but he completely ignored me and continued tending to his guests. In a fit of rage I stormed up to them, grabbing a cup filled with scotching hot tea and dumped it all over Mr Greyhound. His eyes blazed with fury as he raised his hand to strike me but before he could make contact, my father's hand came crashing down, landing a crisp slap that echoed across the room.

My body went stiff as my vision began to blur, it was the first time my father had ever raised a hand at me and he did it just to defend my mother's murderer. I stared at him in disbelief as tears streamed down my face. Before I could even say a word, he forced me head down whilst apologizing on my behalf. "Mr Greyhound, please forgive her foolishness, after all young kids often tend to make mistakes"

My gaze still remained fixed on the floor as my father roughly shoved me out of his office, the force causing me to twist my ankle. "Dad, it hurts" I cried out in pain, expecting him to support me but instead he shoved me to the ground and shut the door behind him. I sat there silently in pain as I listened to my father sign my life away to my mother's killers. Feeling disappointed, I finally opted to leave but I unfortunately lost my balance whilst heading up the stairs and was about to fall when a strange man caught me, gently carrying me up the rest of the way. I was about to express my gratitude when I looked up at him only to notice a striking resemblance between him and Mr Greyhound.

"Elisa, right?" ... "I'm Damian, your fiance. It's a pleasure to finally meet you"

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
