Hope you enjoyed the prologue. Edited-1st July 18 Chapter 1-She's All Yours POV Ivory Costello The scream of Mrs Marlo was agonising as she fell on her knees in her black dress gripping the collar of her now dead son. The Victorian timed fashionable hat which hid my right eyes as I was sure my eyes held the emotion of guiltiness, the reason of her sons death. Beside me was a frozen Iyla who stood quiet as she kept staring at her lover emotionlessly, I had been selfish agreeing to the devil to kill someone when I knew it was not in my nature to kill someone. She had not uttered a single word to anyone since yesterday night, I knew she was completely shattered on the inside. "Melanie. What was to happen has been done we can not undo it, but we must move on for celeb." Mr Marlo spoking grabbing his wife's shoulders as he shook her to get her attention as she finally diverted her gaze from the dead corpse of Jace. This was because of me! I had ruined a family, a couple, a friendship. I could not take the suffocation of guilt, the more I looked at his body the more I remember the scene as if it was happening all over again. "Excuse me." I whispered barging past the people surrounding who had come to attend the funeral of Jace Marlo.The fog of New York city was like a lie which hid crime of many things, it was a blanket which was better to be left unfolded or many lives could be in danger. "Running away like a criminal would do you no good, how cowardly." The bitter voice of Iyla made its way into my ears as I turned my body towards the entrance of the door where she stood with the double doors closed. "If I'm a criminal why haven't you told father, Mr and Mrs Marlo the world that I murdered your lover." I spat out frustrated by the blame I had given to myself and her just adding more salt to my guilt. "I was! But on my way I had overheard a very interesting conversation about your loveless marriage to the Mafia King and being his second Illegitimate wife." She said with a ugly smirk as her eyes held anger a emotion I had finally seen since yesterday night. "I've decided why don't I make you feel as doomed as I felt watching my Jace fall on his knees struggling to breathe his final words as he whispered "I love You." Her voice cracked in the end as I frowned, I wanted to reach out and hug my younger sister but I knew I was a disease at the moment for her. "Iyla-" My words were cut off at the sound of a man clearing his throat, turning around I looked at the man I loathed. "Lady Iyla And...Miss Ivory" He spoke breathing out our name with a sigh, it just made me want to roll my eyes but I thought other wise. "King Ezra" Iyla spoke as she did a small curtsy, while I just stood glaring at him. "Lady Iyla if you would excuse us I must speak to Miss Ivory." His voice was thick very manly yet firm. "She's all yours." Her words had a meaning which I could not quiet pick, watching her turn around walking inside to grieve the loss. "You failed your chance to escape, be freed from me.Your trapped beauty with the beast." I felt shiver run down my body as he spoke the closer he got the more his minty breathe fanned on my neck. "You killed him, I was just your pawn you had already planned to murder him." I yelled as I closened up looking up at him as my glare burned holes. "Your right beauty" he paused as the back of his palm strokes my cheeks, he tilts his head and leans closer. His lips were inches away from my own, "I'll destroy everyone you love for you to learn to respect me." His voice was hard as he pulled away leaving me shocked as he smirked and walked away as if nothing had happened. He stopped as I narrowed my eyes questioningly, "You have 3 days till we get married, In 2 days I am marrying your sister." That was his final words before walking past me and into the double doors Iyla had just gone in a couple of minutes ago.
