Claimed By The Mafia Don (Ariella and Asher) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

“You’re right. I used you…” I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Knowing that he couldn’t see me,

but I had to do this.

“I mean, who… who wouldn’t? You are the Don’s sun. You’re going to be the next heir. You have everything. My family comes from nothing. And I knew that having your attention… however small… was going to do wonders for me. Wonders for my family. Wonders for my father.”

I force the coldness into my voice as I continue. “You were going to give my father a promotion soon before our wedding, right? You had to. You couldn’t be married to a lowly soldier, I know that.”

I took a deep breath and continued,

“I didn’t love you as much as you did. I loved what you did to me, what you did for my family. You were handsome, you were generous, but I never loved you. And I’m just… When I thought of our engagement and our wedding, it was just too much, okay? I can’t pretend my whole life. I just can’t. That’s why I decided to tell you the truth. I’m going to get married to a man that I actually love, a man who I actually want to be with, and I know you’re not used to rejection, but take this as your first lesson. I don’t love you!

I shout the last words as my tears flow, but it doesn’t affect my voice. I wipe them quickly.

“I don’t love you, Asher. Forget about me. Let me go. There are a lot of other women out there… What more do you want from me? Just leave me alone.”

It’s quiet in the room. Asher hasn’t turned back to face me. I wipe my eyes, straighten myself and brace myself for whatever’s going to happen. If he’s going to lash out, if he’s going to break things, if he’s going to shout at me, I don’t know what he’s going to do next, but I’m ready for it.

After what feels like forever, he finally turns around slowly and looks me straight in the eye while he grits his teeth. I don’t know what that look in his eyes is, but it seems to be contemplating, and it makes me

nervous with a little bit of fear.

Before I can think further about it, he takes large steps, and all of a sudden, he’s on the bed. I try scrambling out of the bed, running away, but his hand grabs my hair, and he uses it to pull me back and throw me right back on the bed.

I bounced and he was right over me. He put his hand on my neck, freezing me.

I was breathing harshly. There was hair that had gotten in my face. Using his other hand, he gently pulled away the hair from my face. I had my hands flat against the bed, and I didn’t want to make any sudden

movements.

I stared up at him, still breathing, trying to catch my breath from the impact of the fall. He was angry, totally angry. I don’t think I have ever seen him this angry before. His eyes were red, and his veins were popping as he stared at me. His hand on my throat was just there.

He wasn’t squeezing me. He wasn’t strangling me. He wasn’t even holding me hard. His hand was just

there on my neck, almost like a threat, almost like he wanted me to say something so he would have a reason to unleash his anger on me.

After I had quieted down, he said,

“I want you to be quiet.” I was already quiet, but for some reason, I held my lips even tighter together.

“I don’t want to hear anything coming out of your mouth. Nothing, not a word or I am going to hurt you,” he said, almost like a promise.

I shook my head, but he nodded. “Yes,” he said, “I’m going to make you pay,” he said, nodding. “I’m going to make you pay for thinking you had the power to hurt me. I’m going to make you pay for thinking you had the power to humiliate me. I’m going to hurt you for being unfaithful and a liar. I’m going to make you pay.”

I opened my mouth. I didn’t know what I was gonna say, but he put his finger on his lips again, and I remembered that I wasn’t supposed to add a word, so I closed my mouth shut.

“You’re gonna be paying for it until you take your last breath.”

I narrowed my eyes at him.

“You won’t be paying in a day, so don’t worry. I’m not gonna kill you, but you’re gonna wish you were.”

I narrowed my eyes again, and he laughed, not in an amusing way, not in a way that seemed like he was enjoying this. Now that just made it worse.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to be pulling any toes away. I’m not going to be cutting any part of your body, but I’m gonna be your nightmare.”

I shook my head, he nodded. “Yes, I’m gonna be your nightmare. You’re going to regret this.”

And then he got down and started kissing me, which caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting it. I was still in my fear zone. He was technically still threatening me. This was just confusing because now I was kissing him back and even moaning into the kiss as my hands went towards his shoulders, into his hair.

He kept kissing me harder, he bit my lower lip. I think blood must have come out. I hissed. He sucked on it. I still had his hand on my neck, while his other hand started caressing me everywhere it could reach and touch me.

Lost in the moment. Lost in myself. Lost in him.

He used his other hand to open his zipper and get his erection out. I was naked, still wet from what we had just done. I hadn’t taken a shower, and from the kiss, he always managed to make me sleek. He entered me in one brutal thrust that had me moaning so hard he had to kiss me to shut me up.

That’s when I realized that all this time, even though he had been fucking me harder today than he had been before, he was taking it slow on me, not giving me all his anger, all his pain, all he had to give me.

This time though, he fucked me with the anger, not holding back with everything he had in him. One hand
