Chapter 1

PROMISED TO THE MAFIA PRINCE

(She is his to ruin)

Chapter One

The song 'The magic moment 'was playing on the phonograph as the couple danced under the moonlight, their steps delightful, their body moving slowly to the music.

Elizabeth smiled passionately, her eyes held him with gratitude, a lot of gratitude but not even a bit of love. The man she was dancing with under the moonlight that shone on both of them and the beach, was a lot of things to her but not a lover.

Though it was different for him, today is the happiest day of his life. After many attempts to get her to say yes to him, finally today he got a yes. And within some months, they would be living together as a happy family.

Those were his thoughts, as much as hers. Even if she didn't love him, she would gladly spend the rest of her life with him. Cause she knew no man could ever treat her as gentle and caring as Joshua.

He could give her the world if he had, today was proof. He had rented a beach just to propose to her, and decorate everything, chairs, food, the wine all expensive. Even if his monthly salary wasn't that much of a big deal, he had planned this just to make her happy.

And even played her favorite song, the only thing that is genuine about her. She is fake, everything about her. Her name, her identity, and her life were all fake, a fantasy she made up for herself to escape her miserable life.

"The night is perfect," Elizabeth acknowledged with a smile.

"Nothing is as beautiful as you" Joshua stated while Elizabeth just chuckled, maybe the line was a cliche, but it was still the truth.

She had a sculpted shape which was twine-thin. Her waist was narrow and she had smooth skin. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her beautiful ears framed a stud nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she flashed him an adorable smile.

She is so pretty and so attractive. He is so glad that she is finally his, he loves this woman and he has thought she felt the same.

That she loves him just as much as he does.

"I love you, Elizabeth and I will forever do"

She said nothing but just hugged him and continued with their dance, minutes passed and the music stopped and their movement also came to a halt.

They disengaged from the hug, and Elizabeth went to the decorated table to get the wine.

"My legs are aching," She said, picking up the two glasses and the wine below her armpit. "Today is the most beautiful night in my life" She confessed and turned to her fiance, only to see him with a knife placed on his throat. And some men in suits surrounded them, she knew exactly what this was.

The wine in her hand dropped along with her cup, staring at them fearfully.

Her past finally caught up to her, she ran and ran till she could no longer run and met Joshua. And when she thought she was going to be happy, this happened.

"Is that so? Is this your best night?" He said, appearing in front of her, in a fancy suit. He looked just as handsome, devilishly handsome just as the first time she saw him, even if there were now huge changes.

He looked at her just like he always does, like he wanted to tear that dress off her, grinding his c*ck into her, fvcking the hell out of her, till she was lifeless. Those sinful blue eyes, she thought she had escaped him, from her family but now he is here for her, to take her back and this time she will never be able to run away.

"Elisabeth" Josh called, trembling as his face became sweaty.

"Elisabeth? Is that the name you gave yourself, my Princess" The man in front of her questioned while she gulped down the bile in her throat, fear gripped her.

She wanted to run, to escape but it would be useless. He will always find her, like three years ago, like now.

"You must be terrified, after all these years. I have caught you again, just like three years before. But the only difference now, is that I will never allow you to run off again, Miara"

Shivers ran down her spine as she heard that name, it had been long since she heard it yet it still had the same effect on her.

"Miara? What is going on Elisabeth?" Joshua shrieked, bringing their attention back to him.

"Was this him? The man you are getting married to with your fake identity?"

Joshua looked at him confused "Fake identify, what are you saying? Elisabeth is my fiancee, you have no right to just interrupt our moments, and do you know you could go to jail for putting a knife to my throat? If you leave now, I will be gracious not to report you" Joshua threatened while Elizabeth chuckled, she admired his courage but she wished he said nothing and just stayed quiet.

He brought out his gun and directed it at Joshua, "no" Elizabeth screamed while Joshua eye's widened in fear. She found herself running to Josh. But before she could reach him, he was already on the ground with a bullet in his head, lifeless.

The beach sand was now mixed with Joshua thick blood.

"He is dead," Elizabeth said and fell to the ground. Her perfect life was gone, her freedom, and so is the man who showed her love without even asking for her's in return. All he wants is to love her and he is gone because of her.

Another person to add to the list of people killed because of her.

She crawled to where Joshua's lifeless body was, and hugged him in her arms, as her tears fell on his face, getting her white gown stained.

"It is useless, he is gone" The man spoke with no emotions, Elizabeth gritted her teeth down and put Joshua down, then stood up and charged him, punching with all she got on his chest.

"You have gotten fast, but your punch is still weak, princess" He said, Elisabeth grinned and wanted to give him another punch but he held her hand before she could.

"I take my word back, you are still slow"

"Why did you kill him? How many people are you going to kill every time you find me? Why do you keep tormenting me, every moment you could. What have I ever done to you?"

He scoffed at her, looking with disgust and hatred. "You really don't know" He asked and she nodded slowly.

"You broke your promise, princess. You left, ran away when you were supposed to be mine, taunted my pride as a man. You fvcking left me and it is time for you to pay the price."

"We are going back home, and when we do.

I will show you the exact meaning of pain, you will regret ever running away from me. And I will claim and destroy every part of you, after all, it was mine in the first place" He swore and she could feel the sincerity in his voice.

No, he has never lied. He will break her, destroy her, and feed on her fear.

He will hurt her just like she did, three years ago.

He has come to claim what is his.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
