Hello My babies and welcome my new novel I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think your opinion means the world.
*************
Venus"s POV
"Your beauty is far too rare for the horror of the world."
As if it were yesterday my father informed me that I could not leave the mansion when I wanted.He clarified that half my life was going to lay here in between these walls for my protection and being the age of sixteen I couldn"t really argue.
Arguing with a man as powerful as my father was like yelling at a wall that will later on give you no subtle response.It was meaningless and will remain meaningless until this day.
With my mother, he was never as heartless or stone cold as he is now. Somehow she found a way to cover the beast within him but after passing away, that beast came storming back into our lives with fiery mass destruction bulging through that once kind-hearted man.
Glaring at my reflection in the mirror I combed down my curly blonde hair and watched the curls straightened out then once again reform as my brother came storming through my bedroom door with hardly any balance.
I stood up immediately to help him.
"Venus."He said, caressing my left cheek and by the stench of his breathing, I knew he was drunk.
"Whats wrong Christopher?"I said, helping him lay on the bed.
Being older than me my brother wasn"t the most responsible person on this earth.He tends to drop one shiny toy for the next and could care less about the upcoming consequences.
"I need to marry her Venus."He blurted out, gazing my way.
"Who do you need to marry Christopher?"I said, laying his head on my lap beginning to run my hands through his silky smooth hair.It was a habit I got into every time he came to me with a complaint about his life.
"Who?"I smiled warmly to ensure him my mouth was sealed.
"Annabelle."
"Oh that"s quite a lovely name," I said, trying to comfort him.
Annabelle..... Annabelle.... Annabelle.... I knew that darn name from somewhere I just couldn"t put my finger on it. Oh crap! Oh crap! We are in deep dew dew do.No no no it can"t be her it can"t, can it?
Oh, fuck what if it is. What if she is a DeVaio. Dad would slaughter us joyfully.
I gulped before finally saying"Chris is she a-"
"DeVaio."He said shaking his head.
My heart began beating rapidly, as my hands began to jitter.If the two families knew there death would occur the same minute of the notification on their phones.I have not even lived my life yet, I am only eighteen.What about all the hot men with accents I wanted to see?
"Are you insane? Have you lost your barnacles?If your father knew-"
"You think I give a damn of that mans opinion,"He yelled, as I got up to circle the room for a hidden solution.
"Well, your gonna give a damn when he comes knocking on your door with a bullet to your head,"I announce, placing my palm at the top of my forehead,"Dad will shot you in a heartbeat and you know that."
"I could care less about anyone. Annabelle will be mine."He yells, with anger fulfilling his facial features as he runs out the door.

" I honestly do not know what type of game you're playing here but do not think, not for a second that I will leave my wife for a slut like you."He began to yell in a harsh tone, causing me to freeze in my tracks."Give me one good reason, why I should love you and if you think a baby will change the way I feel about you then you're wrong. I don't love you River.In fact, I never will." He said, with venom in each of his words. I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces.I could not believe this is the picture he had of me. "Love simply does not have reason love is an indescribable feeling and I am not asking anything on your behalf,"I replied, matching the same tone as his. Of course, deep down I knew it was all a lie. ***** One disastrous turn of events drives River to do the impossible to save her family, and that is put to the test when she asked to sleep with the handsome billionaire known as Ethan Scott, so she may carry the heir to his company.
"Who's the bastard's father?" Marcello's cold eyes narrowed to the test results in her hand and then locked with Emilia's but her gaze averted from his in fear of his reaction.After all, he was the only one she slept with. His tone slightly became louder as he said,"Answer me, Emilia."She squinted her eyes releasing a breath she didn't realize she was holding finally managing to muster,"There um go...ing to be here soon-"He cut her off raking a hand through his hair in frustration.This time he placed his hands on her shoulders tightening his grip while yelling he demanded,"Answer me." A tear stroked down her pale cheek as she stuttered," I....t It's um yours."He stepped closer to her causing Emilia's breathe to hitch involuntarily as his cold glare became more intense."You are a lier."
Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"

My boyfriend called, "Baby!" as he jumped out of bed and scrambled to pull his pants off the ground. "Please, I can explain my love." Shutting my eyes, I inhaled deeply and tried not to cry when I realized that my dream of the man not being my boyfriend had been dashed. "What?" I asked, "What do you want to explain?" How did you lie about having a business meeting while you were in bed enjoying yourself with my best friend, even though I told you I was in serious pain, is that it?" I stood there, my heart pounding, and tears streaming down my face...
