Snaring Emberly (Morally Black, #2)

by Gigi Styx

“When your man stabs you in the back, don’t just walk away with your dignity. Strike back with a meat tenderizer to the balls.”

😂😂😂👏🏻

Coprophilia (mentioned)

Oh gods I'm scared😂😂😭😭😭

When a man steps out of death row for a murder he didn’t commit, the first thing he wants to do is kill a motherfucker.

😂😂😂 starting off strong

He nods, seeming proud of his invisible loophole. “A twenty-five percent commission on five paintings sold for five hundred dollars per piece, plus the fixed fee of five hundred dollars per item comes to three thousand, one hundred and twenty-five dollars. I’ll take cash.”

Oh woooow. I hope she ends up killing this guy.

The next asshole who fucks with me will get more than just a scalded dick.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

One kiss and he’ll smuggle me out of the club, so I won’t get arrested. After that, I’ll never have to see Roman Montesano again.

😂😂😂😂 that's what you think😂

No man will ever make me their captive.

Bout to find out different 😂

Benito grips my fists and scowls. “Exactly what I said. You left her naked and unshackled. Now, she’s made a shank out of a pane of glass and has wrapped herself up like a mummy.”

😂😂😂

Snorting, I sling an arm around his shoulder. “Everything is under control. Some women just need a little tender loving gaslighting.”

😂😂😂😂

“How quickly can we convert the pool house into an art studio?” He frowns. “That’s where Cesare keeps his kinky furniture. Last I heard, he’s still entertaining a woman.” I grind my teeth. “Order all the art supplies someone needs to paint and tell my brother to move his dungeon to the basement like every self-respecting pervert.”

😂😂😂😂💀

Roman cups the base of my skull and kisses my forehead as if I’m precious. Or maybe he’s savoring the moment because in a few days, I’ll be gone?

Nope just releasing his voodoo on you with the forehead kiss.😂

Gunshots ring through the air, each one hitting Roman’s chest with brutal precision. My blood turns to sludge, and my stomach drops to the ballroom floor like a dead weight. I suck in a breath, too shocked to scream. Roman stumbles back and drops the microphone. Benito rushes to his side, while Cesare covers his brothers and points his gun into the crowd.

Ohhhhh shit! I didn't see that coming.😱

It’s Roman, looking murderous.

Must've been wearing a bullet proof vest.

“Yeah. Nice call on the bullet-proof undershirts.”

Undershirts? nice!

“Emberly,” he says, his words choked. “I suspected you were talented, but this…” “What?” I whisper. “This is fucking beautiful. You’ve made me look like the baddest motherfucker since Tony Montana.”

😂😂😂😂

“Wait,” she says, her voice breathy. “Is that…” “The bastard who framed you for a crime you didn’t commit?” I spit. “Here he is.” She claps a hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp. “For me?” I nod. Emberly just sold me a casino for a pittance. The least I can give her is her revenge. “You give me the best gifts!”

😂😂😂😂💀

“Does it hurt?” I ask. “I’m not used to punching,” she replies through panting breaths. “And my fingers already ache from so much painting.” “Want me to take over?” She turns to me, her eyes bright. “Would you?” “Watch me.” Lafayette’s eyes widen and the noise he makes behind the gag is pitiful. I pummel him with short and fast punches, until his pale carcass is covered in bruises and his face is a bloody mess. “Untie his gag,” Emberly says. “I want to hear him beg for mercy.” “You really like revenge, don’t you?” I ask with a chuckle.

😂😂😂😂💀

Emberly can stay with me for a lifetime. I no longer want to cut it short. It’s ludicrous that I ever wanted her dead. Instead, I plan on doing everything in my power to make sure she never leaves.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 finally you stopped lying to yourself

He squeezes my ass. “Those snobs wouldn’t let you work there as a cleaner. Now, they’ll grovel for you at the chef’s table.” “You remember that?” “How could I possibly forget the name of any asshole who hurt you? I want you walking into that restaurant like a queen.”

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ugh he's so amazing

“By the time I’m done fucking that pussy, you’ll be seeing Michelin stars.”

😂😂😂😂 so stupid

“Sounds like a piece of work,” he mutters. “He was the perfect boyfriend for the first few weeks. He even turned his spare room into a space for me to paint.”

Wooow sound s familiar😂😂😂😂

As she reaches the door, she turns to Gil and asks, “Take me home?” Gil snorts. “You insulted the boss’s woman. That’s worse than insulting the boss.” Everyone around the table nods. “But how am I going to get back?” Her voice trembles. “Work it out,” he rumbles. “And you’re no longer welcome in my apartment.”

😂😂😂dumb bitch👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An armored truck trundles to meet us, where Gil is ready to load six more Moirai hostages to add to our original quartet. After stripping them naked and inspecting them for trackers and hidden weapons, I call their leader and ask if they’re willing to renegotiate.

😂😂😂😂

My stomach rumbles, and I lower myself into the back seat. “Will there at least be snacks?” “As much as you can handle, baby.” He slides in beside me and squeezes my thigh. “Somehow, I don’t think you’re talking about food.” He answers with a long, deep kiss. “You can snack on these nuts.” I draw back, ready to make a joke when he reaches into a drawer and extracts a jar containing almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios.

😂😂😂😂💀

How do I trap a spirit that will do anything to be free? She places a hand on her navel, demonstrating how she wants a pair of pants to hang low on her hips and expose her belly. The answer hits me like a lightning bolt. I need to get her pregnant.

😂😂😂😂💀 oh gods

Her face crumples, and tears run down her cheeks. She stares down at the mask, her breath turning ragged. “You remembered. It’s so beautiful. What did I do to deserve you?” I place a hand on her arm. “Are you okay?” “Yes,” she says, her voice choked. My jaw tightens. This isn’t like Emberly at all. She should be crying happy tears, not looking pained. “Tell me what’s wrong.” “I just feel weird.” She bows her head.

Ohhhh shit she's already pregnant.😂😂😂

I don’t know what the consequences are of marrying a woman without her knowledge or consent, but the good reverend stands to have his gambling debts forgiven if he can pull off this wedding ceremony.

Oh shit😂😂😂😂 Easton Sinnett is that you!?

She signs her name with a flourish, and both the officiant and I exhale relieved breaths. Reverend Johnson snatches up the certificate. “Congratulations and welcome to the Hotel Montesano’s honeymoon suite. I hereby declare you checked in.” Emberly wipes at her eyes, too absorbed to notice that the officiant just pronounced us man and wife.

😂😂😂😂 I can't wait to see her reaction when she finds out.

“Your father died, and the lawyer gave you millions, then you forgot all about my Jim,” he says.

Oh shit. what a way to find out.😂

“You owe us for all the money Jim poured on your ungrateful head,” he hisses. “They’re saying you’re worth over a hundred mil. So why the fuck are you shacking up with the man your father framed for murder?”

Daaaaamn! going all out!👀

She exhales a long breath. “It’s related to the recent death of your father.” “Who?” “Frederic Capello,” she replies.

Damn shits about to get crazy. I was thinking shed find out and dip and Jim would snatch her but maybe Tommy will be the one. or even the Moiri group.🤔

Nick waggles his brows. “Martina Mancini. I heard she’s as hot as she is ruthless.”

Ohhhh shiiiit! she's going to kidnap her I bet.

Emberly rounds the corner with Tony.

I guess not.😂

“There’s a special studio on the edge of town.” She gazes up at me through her lashes. “Can I direct you?”

Ok something is up.

“I know everything,” she says, holding up a meat tenderizer the size of a mallet.

Oh shit!!!!😂

I exit the house, throw everything into the back seat, and drive to the highway. There, I follow the signs to New Jersey to meet my third cousin once removed, Tommy Galliano.

Oh wow this bitch is STUPID!🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤷🏻‍♀️ just handing herself over😂

I stayed on that table for three days before Gil drilled a hole through the door and set me free.

😂😂😂😂💀

They knew something was wrong after twelve hours, when Benito tracked the Mercedes to a scrap yard, where it was being crushed into a cube of metal. The car Dad and I spent years restoring. Our last fond memories together. Gone.

Daaaaamn that's so fucked up!😱

A plan forms in my mind as I leave the gallery. I don’t give a fuck whose child she’s carrying. It was never about the baby. Emberly Kay is mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes to win her back.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 get her!

“I’m here to support you,” he murmurs into my ear. “And I don’t care that the baby isn’t mine.”

Ugh bro just forgive him already! 😭

Wife? My jaw drops. Roman can’t tell the truth, even in the heat of the moment. The man is a compulsive liar. I turn on my heel and walk away.

That's what she thinks.😂😂😂😂

Step one: infiltrate Emberly’s apartment. Done. Step two: get her to agree to have dinner with me. Done. Step three: give her a full body massage with a happy ending. Not yet, but I’m optimistic.

😂😂😂😂

“Emberly.” Tommy Galliano sweeps into the apartment. “How is my favorite cousin?”

Shits about to go down!

As Tommy bundles me out of my apartment, regret washes through my veins. Roman told me New Jersey was dangerous, but I didn’t listen. I thought it was another one of his lies. He offered me a safe place to stay, where I would be protected, and I threw minestrone soup in his face.

Ya you dumb!😂

“Out of the way,” Tommy snaps. “I didn’t pay you to interfere in my cousin’s business.” My jaw drops. Mr. Wilder was Tommy’s spy? The old man frowns. “Why are you manhandling Kate? You told me she was hiding from a psychopath.”

Ohhh wow!🤦🏻‍♀️

“I know.” He winks. “In a few hours, you’ll be a widow and by this weekend, you’ll become Mrs. Tomaso Galliano.” “Why?” I rasp, trying to shrink from his grip. “So I can take control of the Montesano heir,” he replies, as though the answer is obvious.

What in the game of thrones?!😂
