HER NEW STORY
WRITTEN BY SUNNY JOHN
CHAPTER 1
Luca woke up, getting out of bed he put on his briefs and glanced down at the woman lying naked in his bed. She was a pretty brunette he picked up at the party he attended that night, he couldn't remember her name. That was nothing new to him, he never bothered to get to know them, they were just a means to satisfy his urges. After taking a shower and changing he went down to enjoy a hearty breakfast, he had worked up quite an appetite.
Grazia, his cousin was already seated at the table with Filippo, his friend and business associate of over ten years. They also lived with him in his castle, he somehow inherited Grazia when her parents, were killed in a tragic car accident six years ago.
When his meal was brought to him by one of the kitchen staff, Charles, he instructed him to send some food up to the young lady in his room. He was also told to tell her a car would be waiting to take her where ever she needed to go.
"Really Luca, you brought another one of your whores into your home," Grazia scoffed.
His eyes turned dark, his cold stare sending shivers down her spine. "You're right, this is my home and who I choose to bring into it is my business. You'll do well to remember that cousin dear. I will be gone for the rest of the day, don't hold dinner for me."
"Where are you off to?" Filippo asked, scooping scrambled eggs into his mouth.
"I'm heading to the country, there'a man, Dan Potter has some horses for sale. I'm thinking of getting a couple, might as well make use of the stable that I paid a small fortune to have built."
"I could go with you," Filippo suggested.
"No, I prefer to go alone, besides, you have that meeting with Hillbrook winery. Get them to sell their company to me." Luca ordered.
"Why do you want it so bad? it's such a small company and you have your own, the biggest one in the world." Filippo asked.
"I just do. It's not for you to question me, it's your job to do as I say."
"Luca, you are turning thirty soon, do you not think it's time to find a wife? you are a wealthy and important man in Rome. People are beginning to talk about you and all the women you are sleeping with. It's time for you to marry, someone with class, refined, a woman who will be an asset to you and your reputation?"
Sitting back he looked at his cousin, she was tall, slender, dark black hair, same as his. She was also a greedy, conniving witch, living off him instead of finding a rich husband to take care of her and her thirst for the finer things in life. She had it made living here in his castle with her own suite of rooms, household help waiting on her hand and foot. "Just who would you like me to marry? your friend Eleonora Gallo?" He questioned her.
"As a matter of fact, yes. Eleonora would make the perfect wife for you, she has class."
"She is also a stuck up bitch, no sense of humor and I'll bet her legs are so tightly closed no man could get between them. I prefer my women warm and willing to spread her legs and give me great pleasure.
"Sex is all you think about Luca. Think about the family business, the one your father build up from scratch and left it all to you when he died. He's probably turning over in his grave with all your behavior. Not to mention that you are a descendant of royalty, you make a mockery of it all."
"Quiet, you will not speak to me in this manner." Tossing his napkin down he stood and turned to Filippo. "I'll see you later, good day to you both."
Jumping into his new Lamborghini he sped out the driveway of his castle. He was sick and tired of everyone telling him he had to marry and always pushing women on him. They were all well bred, rich and upper class. But they bored him, they were cold and had no sex appeal, sure most of them were quite beautiful. But God forbid they should mess their hair up during sex, lying there, barely moving and making no sound.
It was a four-hour drive to where he was going, a small remote place out in the country. Driving along the dirt road he saw a broken down sign that read Potter's farm. The place was run down, fence needed mending. The house was nothing more than a shack and he saw the horses in the fenced off area. Pulling to a stop he got out and walked over to where there were three horses, he liked what he saw. They were beautiful animals, they seem to be well taken care of, he was impressed considering how the house and the rest of the place looked.
Moments later an older man walked over, he was in his late fifties and had on dirty overalls, his hair thinning and had a big potbelly. Two younger men were with him, he assumed they were the older man's sons.
"I'm Luca Mariani, I called about the horses." He held out his hand for the man to shake.
"I'm Dan, these here are my boys, Jason and John. These here are three of the finest creatures you'll find around these parts." He points to the horses.
Going inside the gate Luca checked them out, they were friendly and didn't run off, that was a good sign. "Yeah, they look healthy, I think I'll take them," he said, patting them.
Dan grinned, showing his missing teeth, the ones left were yellow and stained with tobacco smoke. "Good, good. Come inside and have a cold beer and we can discuss the money."
The sons went off to do chores while he followed Dan inside. Something he regretted when he saw the inside. It was so run down, the floors creaked, the furniture was old, torn and tattered. It consisted of a sofa, two ripped chairs, and the kitchen was small with a table and three wooden chairs. A cot laid in the corner of the living room, as run down as the place was at least it was clean.
He hesitated when Dan pointed to a chair and told him to sit, finally sitting he pulled out his checkbook.
"Robin, get your scrawny ass out here and fetch me a couple of cold beers," Dan yelled as he flopped down across from him.
Luca looked over at the fridge and wondered why he didn't just grab them himself.
A moment later the door to what Luca figured was the bathroom opened and a girl walked out. Her hair looked dirty as was the rest of her. She wore a long baggy dress and a sweater that had holes in it, he couldn't tell if she was a child or a woman. For a moment her eyes locked with his before she lowered them to the ground and walked further into the kitchen.
"Get us two beers girl," Dan barked at her.
She took out the two bottles and reaching into the cupboard grabbed two glasses. Setting them down in front of Dan she turned to leave, accidentally knocking one of them over. The beer ran down the table onto the floor. Standing up he slapped her across the face and yelled at her.
"You stupid girl, clean up this mess." He shoved her to the floor, tossing a rag at her. "The girl is as useless as tits on a boar," he said, looking at Luca.
Luca was shocked to see such violence towards one so young. "Mr. Potter, it was an accident, no need to hit the girl."
"Dan scoffed as he went and took another beer from the fridge. "The girl has been nothing but trouble from the day she came to live here. She's my brother's girl and when he and his wife died the county dumped her off on me." He talked about her as if she wasn't even there while she washed up the mess.
She went to the sink, rinsing out the cloth.
Taking a swig of his beer Luca opened his checkbook, looked over at her and then set his pen back down. "I want to buy those horses, I'll pay triple what you're asking." His eyes went to Dan and he saw the greed in the old man's eyes.
"Triple, well sure, if you want to I'm sure as hell ain't going to say no."
"There's one catch though," Luca said, looking back over at the girl, who he now could see was a young woman.
"What would that be?" Dan asked.
"I want the girl," he saw the way she turned sharply to look at him, fear showing in her eyes.
"What would you be wanting with the likes of her."
"Well now, that would be my business. Do we have a deal, Mr. Potter?"
Dan wiped the drool from his mouth, looked from her back to Luca. "Oh, I see, it's a sex thing. I think you'll be pleased to know she's a virgin, fresh, untouched. Ok, Mr. Mariani, I'll throw Robin into the deal." Holding out his hand to Luca, waiting for a handshake which he never received. He greedily took the cheque from Luca and going over to Robin told her to go with the man who just paid him a lot of money.
When she shook her head and tried to run out he grabbed her, raising his hand to strike her but Luca grabbed his wrist, stopping him.
"You will not strike this girl again, is that clear?" He looked at her. "Get your things, you're coming with me now."
Dan laughed. "All that is hers she is wearing."
This took Luca by surprise, how could anyone not own another set of clothes. He took her arm and when she tried to pull away he tightens his grip. "I'll send someone in a few days to pick up the horses. He then led her out to his car, opened the door and ordered her to get in. She still had not spoken a word, and if it weren't for her uncle he wouldn't even know her name.
Going around to the driver's side he gets in and fastens his seatbelt, ordering her to do the same and takes off down the long dirt driveway.

No mom, leave us out of it if only you want what happened to you and Dad to occur again!" She said angrily and walked out. "Come back here Mariana. How dare you walk out on me?" She shouted but she was already gone. Paula paced about the room in worry. She thought of telling Pablo before things get out of hand. "Hi mum." Marion greeted and removed his backpack. "You know what mum?" "What is it?" "A girl told me that I was cute today at school." He said happily. Paula's eyes narrowed on him. "And what's so special about that? I've said that so many times to you?" "Yes you've told me countless times before but yours doesn't give me the sparks and get butterflies to erupt in my stomach so that makes it more special!"

Daniela's POV ~ 7:02pm. It was just two minutes past 7pm, and yet it was those two minutes that I knew would push him over the edge. Just two. I let out a nervous breath as I pushed open the front door to his overly luxurious apartment, stepping inside before I closed it quietly behind myself. I held my keys tight in my hand to stop them from jingling as I carefully dropped them into my purse. I guess I don't know why I was trying to be quiet, he knew I was home, he always knew. I made my way through the apartment and towards the stairs leading to the second floor. I went as quickly as I could up the stairs while trying my best to not let the excessive amount of chains and metal pieces on my Louis Vuitton purse jingle. Having a couple of dangly key chains on a purse is all well and good when you're trying to make the purse look pretty, but as soon as you're trying to be quiet it's pretty much game over for you. The second I stopped outside our bedroom door, I took a deep breath before I opened it, thankful that he was so rich that his doors didn't creak at all. He probably used some fancy ass oil to grease the hinges. Maybe you would expect someone like him to be relaxing downstairs in the living room with a beer, or maybe out with his brother or his friends since it was Friday night - possibly even with another girl. But he wasn't like that, he saved all that shit for later. Instead he was sitting at the edge of the bed, watching me as I opened the door. I didn't even have to look at him for long to know what was going through his head. The moment my brown eyes met his blue ones, I knew today wasn't going to be a good one for me. Actually I knew that since this morning when I accidentally woke him up while I was getting ready for work. He was too tired then but I knew he would bring it up tonight. The fact I was late home just made it even worse. "Daniela." My name left his mouth in a cold tone dripping with anger as he rose to his feet. "Ayden." I gripped the leather handles of my purse in my hand, watching his tall form as he closed the gap between us slightly. "You're late."

In order to fulfill her grandfather's last wish, Stella entered into a hasty marriage with an ordinary man she had never met before. However, even after becoming husband and wife on paper, they each led separate lives, barely crossing paths. A year later, Stella returned to Seamarsh City, hoping to finally meet her mysterious husband. To her astonishment, he sent her a text message, unexpectedly pleading for a divorce without ever having met her in person. Gritting her teeth, Stella replied, "So be it. Let’s get a divorce!" Following that, Stella made a bold move and joined the Prosperity Group, where she became a public relations officer that worked directly for the company’s CEO, Matthew. The handsome and enigmatic CEO was already bound in matrimony, and was known to be unwaveringly devoted to his wife in private. Unbeknownst to Stella, her mysterious husband was actually her boss, in his alternate identity! Determined to focus on her career, Stella deliberately kept her distance from the CEO, although she couldn't help but notice his deliberate attempts to get close to her. As time went on, her elusive husband had a change of heart. He suddenly refused to proceed with the divorce. When would his alternate identity be uncovered? Amidst a tumultuous blend of deception and profound love, what destiny awaited them?
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
