Chapter 5 Anthony

• I could say that Rebekah Goldner was a first class bitch, but that would be ranking her low because she didn't deserve to be number one.
• She knew there were bigger issues than her ambition towards her younger sister, but nothing justified the idiot's cruelty. Ellen was the sweetest, calmest person I knew. Sometimes I worried about her so much I could say I was going crazy.
• Ever since I saw her sweet and delicate smile for something as silly as having managed to make a huge soap bubble, I couldn't stop admiring her beauty and her sweetness. As a child, she was a chatterbox. She told strange facts about different things and that irritated Rebeca, but not me.
• He loved to enjoy her presence while reading a book. I could say that it was the most surprising thing I've ever witnessed, as the girl reacted to every word that was written on the paper.
• Ellen and all her innocence saved me from the complete darkness that was my life since my parents died. Despite Dominic helping me after this tragedy, I was alone and with big responsibilities that I didn't know I had managed.
• If it wasn't enough to have lost my mother, I still had to become this bitter, lonely, unscrupulous person, who didn't fear death.
• The only thing that saved me was having Ellen by my side. She made me forget everything, the problems and the dark part of my life, leaving things lighter and calmer.
• I was really upset to see her in the middle of so many strange people, rubbing up against her little body in the middle of that ballad.
• It wasn't her style to go to these places, and I knew that the one causing my headache was Eva, her crazy friend. At first, I thought that Eva was a viable solution for me, however, every day I realized my mistake.
• When Meredith called me earlier, I thought everything was turning upside down, messing up everything around me.
• I couldn't stay behind the girl twenty-four hours, but I had people who helped me keep her safe and always under my control.
• The housekeeper didn't give me details about what had happened, and at the moment I was more concerned with finding her than curious.
• He knew appearing twice out of nowhere would get Ellen's attention. She was very smart and that was one of the things that drew me to her.
• When I saw her finally come around the corner and walk towards me, I felt like she had gotten the gift she had been waiting for. It was clear to see that the night had not been spent very well and, if he knew the girl well, he would bet that she had not been able to sleep.
• I didn't know how anyone could hate someone like her. No matter how deep I sank into the shit my family left me, Ellen saved me from myself.
• Taking her to my house was a dream come true. I would have her much longer, I would know how and where she was, since she wasn't like other teenagers.
• As we passed the elevator into my large living room, I felt relaxed at last.
• Even though I hated the fact that my bitch cousin had hurt and kicked my beauty out of the house, I would have the opportunity to get what I always wanted: to have her all to myself, living under the same roof as mine.
• "Anthy, you don't have to do this, I know Rebeca won't be..."
• "She won't be happy." I said interrupting her. "But not because you're with me, Ellen. She'll be pissed because I'll gladly tell her everything I think about her and what I'm going to do next."
• I always knew how much she hated her sister and what she had already done when Ellen was a child. When I was in college and I couldn't protect her, Becca just gave the girl hell and that always made me very angry.
• I didn't have this crazy crush at the time, but I loved Ellen like my cousin. She was the person who kept me company in the bad times, when I didn't need to tell her what was going on to let her know something was wrong.
• "She's her cousin, I don't want them to fight over me." She spoke approaching me, looking worried.
• That was typical of her. Even being hurt and humiliated, Ellen could not wish evil on her neighbor, even if it was a poisonous snake that drove her out of her own home.
• Touching her skin was like a party of emotions. She felt like she could destroy her with just one touch, but that wasn't what I wanted. My desire was to transform her into a strong woman, and who knows, love me even after finding out who I really was.
• There were times I lost my mind. She was fragile and it didn't take much to break down her walls, leaving her vulnerable to me. This would be useful in the future. She hoped it wouldn't take long, as my resistance waned every time I looked into her eyes and saw her desire for me.
• "Don't worry. I'll take care of you. I'll do whatever it takes to give you what you deserve and I'll never let anyone hurt you again." But I can't guarantee that I won't do that. "Ellen, you're tired, I see you didn't sleep last night. You'll stay in the guest room and you can use whatever you need in here."
• "Anthony, I don't want to bother you." She spoke insistently.
• I wasn't known for having a lot of patience, however, with Ellen it was different. It seemed my mood always fluctuated between affection and desire, and I got irritated at times, like when she put herself in harm's way, but it usually didn't irritate me when she was as sweet as she was being right now.
• There was no way to explain how much I wanted her here, under my roof, without scaring her or revealing my feelings. First of all, the girl had to grow up to be a woman, the woman who would love me even if I was the worst of men.
• "It's already decided, I'll be back as soon as possible." She said as I walked away, heading back to the elevator. "Go to sleep. I don't want you to worry, I'll take care of everything."
• I was good at giving orders and Ellen was a good submissive. Although I like it better when women challenge me. Knowing that I had power over this girl pleased me so much.
• He knew exactly what he would do now. Ellen wouldn't tell me what my cousin's snake said, both to avoid upsetting me and because I couldn't repeat the cruelties I know she said.
• I was out of patience about it. Rebeca had caused me a big headache, although it also benefited me. She had no right to kick her sister out of the house where they grew up, as Dominic had left everything he had to both of them.
• I decided to go by motorcycle to the mansion, where I knew she would be, as the dondoca loved to sleep late. I could wait until I calmed down, but that would take too long. When something happened to my beauty, things took a different turn.
• In fact, I wanted to use my anger and determination. So Rebeca would know that she should not approach her sister again.
• When I arrived at the huge estate, everything looked normal. The servants ran the place very carefully and she demanded that of everyone.
• I didn't need to touch the company. Normally I was formal, however, Rebeca didn't deserve so much attention anymore. I would be direct and clear, no need to make small talk with the bitch.
• "Anthony, what are you doing here so early, did you fall out of bed?" She questioned with a wide smile that only pissed me off even more.
• The green dress glued to her body enhanced her curves. The neat, loose hair and fake red painted lips could fool a lot of people, but not me. She was superficial, full of herself and a snob. She hated women like that, even more when they acted as if nothing they did was wrong or hateful.
• "I'll be direct and clear." She said getting even closer to her, with a face of few friends. "I know what you did to Ellen and I can guarantee you that you will regret having thrown her out of this house."
• "My house." She spoke changing her tone. "It's interesting to come here so early to question my decision regarding that rat who stole everything good and turned this house into a pit of bitterness."
• She didn't care what words came out of her mouth. Usually Rebekah was just an idiot I ignored, but not today.
• I didn't think long before advancing on her, pinning her against the wall without the slightest bit of finesse, squeezing her throat so she knew who was in charge. I wasn't delicate, and I wouldn't be with her.
• "If you dare speak that way about her again, I swear you will lose more than her rightful half." I said feeling the blood boil in my veins. "Do you think I feel sorry for you just because your mother killed herself after she found out she was cheated on?" I didn't really want to hurt her, even though I knew she deserved it. Luckily I wasn't the type of man to beat women, that would be tainting my mother's soul, but I wanted to scare her. "You could have that from me before, but after what you did to her, you won't get good Anthony again and I hope you never dare say anything to hurt her again, I swear I'm done with you."
• "Why do you always protect her like you were her father?" She asked practically spitting out the words.
• I had to laugh sarcastically at her question. Even though I was against the wall, the woman was still teasing me.
• "Know, Becca, that I'll take care of everything that's hers and you'll have to relinquish Ellen's rightful share. If you don't, you'll lose everything, and you know I always get what I want." I said walking away from her.
• "You do not fool me." She spoke wanting to tease me even more. “I know you're a nutcase and that you're taking advantage of the situation. You should thank me.
• Being the daughter of a mobster gave Rebeca a certain courage. Unlike Ellen, Becca knew and used this to promote herself. Helping people like me earned her perks, and it wasn't always with her marketing agency.
• "To thank?" She said as I approached again. "Do you want to test me, Rebeca? Do you think it's a good idea?"
• "Are you going to hit me?"
• "No, you're not going to tease me like that. I've never laid a finger on a woman and you won't be the first."
• I walked away from her or I would break that promise I made to myself.
• "What will you do when she finds out you're not the prince she thinks you are?"
• The vase that stood in the center of the table in the living room was very beautiful and the crystal gleamed in the sunlight that came through the window. When I picked it up and broke it not far from where she was standing, the shards scattered across the floor.
• "I can break you, just like that pretty crystal, so I think you better keep your tongue in your mouth or you'll end up like him."
• I left the woman behind as I didn't want to continue with this stupid wordplay. It would put a barrier between us and Rebeca or I would really have to eliminate it.
• She knew about my secret and if she told Ellen before I proved my true worth, it could ruin everything.
