A Bride For The Don 47. Indecisive thoughts
Valerie stormed into the house like a fiery comet, forcefully pushing the door open and barging in like an uninvited guest. Her body language and composure was threatening, her fists balling and unballing. "Valerie is something wrong?" Leila asked noticing her spiteful and angry demeanour. Damien was seated, his curious orbs watching his sister as she broke down in tears."Everything is wrong!" Valerie said amidst her tears. Yes she now knew that Luciano never loved Jade but he still wanted to be fateful to her despite the fact that he didn't have feelings for her.How could someone be faithful to whom they did not love?Did Luciano just detest her that much? "Everything is so wrong. Why am I so unlucky!?" Valerie bemoaned."Stop beating around the bush and tell us what is going on goddamit!" Damien demanded, her tears were getting him tensed and upset."You should be happy that your wedding preparations are underway yet you are crying and screaming that everything is wrong. What

JADE "Elizabeth is dinner ready?" I asked one of my maids the moment she walked into my private bed chamber.Life in the villa for the past one week since that dreadful encounter with Luciano and Valerie had indeed been awfully slow.Seconds would turn into minutes, minutes into hours and hours into days. Each new day the same cycle to repeat; I woke with swollen eyes from crying all night, freshened up, ate and spent the rest of my day reading a book.She nodded, "Yes and Master Luciano is around too" she announced to me. Slowly, my eyes left the book which I held and darted towards Elizabeth's unsteady gaze. Dropping the book on the bed, I slowly sat straight."Really? Wow what a surprise. I thought he had begun hating to come home" I chortled darkly. Ever since I walked in on Luciano confessing his true feelings for me to Valerie, I was left broken, not knowing the best way to handle and cope with such a sudden and bitter truth. It breaks my heart whenever my mind wanders to it.

JADE"No Elizabeth. That is a preposterous idea. I can't do that..." I threw away the idea, shaking my head vigorously."But why can't you? He is your husband" Elizabeth fought harder to convince me.I sighed deeply and bit my bottom lip down in frustration."I just can't. Won't that make me selfish just like Valerie?" I questioned no one in particular.The idea of having sex with Luciano just to secure my place in his life seemed outrageous.If he really wants me in his life then he has to make the choice himself and fight to keep me not the other way around."No. I can't do this" I said once more.Elizabeth sat on the bed, worried lines drawing on her forehead. "Why can't you exactly? How will doing this make you selfish? Valerie is the selfish one here. She wants your husband by all means. And she is going to divide you both if you actually let her into your marriage Signora. Can't you see that?" Elizabeth was practically pleading with me at this point."I know that..." I cried o

Her eyes, her smouldering eyes which drew him like a magnet or was it her milk skin that called out to him, dangling him over the precipiceof lust? Her dark wavy hair which seemed so silky and soft, he wanted nothing more than to sink his fingers into her warm scalp and pleasure her all the ways a man could pleasure his woman. Luciano was unable to concentrate. He was loosing his mind and his entire body was burning with such a fiery and pulsating hunger. A hunger that only Jade could satisfy. Even now in a meeting with Damien, he could barely even focus on anything else than how Jade had him drooling like a starved man last night. "Luciano are you listening?" Damien snapped his fingers across Luciano's hooded eyes.Luciano blinked, having been snapped out of his daze. "I am sorry what were you saying?" Luciano asked, he was clearly not paying attention.Damien crossed his arms over his chest and raised a brow, "We were talking bout the wedding preparations Luciano. I was telli

Her incohorent cries reverberated around the room, her tears staining the pillow and forming a cold watery pool around her face. Valerie beat herself up continuously as she thought of the many ways she had tried to always get Luciano but nothing kept working out.Even after his own wife agreed to him marrying her, he still went ahead and called of the marriage.What did he see in Jade exactly that she did not have?Was she that bad of a person?Didn't Luciano feel any thing for her at all?"Hey Val..." Leila stopped herself the moment she noticed Valerie's sad and depleted state on the bed.Her brows creased and she quickened her pace to her bed, coming to sit next to her."What's wrong Valerie? The maids told me you were back. Is something wrong?"Everything is wrong Leila. Every single thing" Valerie brought her face up, her cries becoming even more heartwrenching.Her tears had completely tainted her make up, leaving her face in such a pitiful state. Leila sat in expectation to h

JADEAs the soft hues of dawn painted my room, I gradually opened my eyes, greeted by the gentle morning light. A lingering smile graced my lips, the memories of last night flooding my mind. Luciano and I actually had sex last night! We made love throughout the entire night and I loved it so much. There was an aching soreness in between my thighs but all I could think about was the passionate dance we entangled ourselves in.The sheets still held the warmth of our entwined bodies, and the subtle scent of his cologne lingered in the air, a tangible reminder of our shared passion. I reached out, expecting to find him beside me, but the space was empty — he had already ventured into the day before my eyes met the morning!A deep sigh escaped my lips and I used the sheets of my bed to cover myself up as the fact that I was stark naked began dawning me.Luciano saw me naked. My cheeks began to go bright pink and I giggled to myself."Moron. You should be fussing that he left before yo

JADEThe sun was saying its goodbyes, giving our mansion a warm glow after Valerie left. I felt this weird kind of happiness, like a weight lifted off my chest. Valerie finally let go of her thing for Luciano.But what if she was playing with my head? She did sound extremely genuine about it.Or maybe this was one of her tricks to make me let down my guard so that she could have my husband? Well whatever the case, I would always hold my husband tight and fight for my marriage.Nothing would change that. Man I am so happy! I sat like a dog with two tails, eagerly awaiting Luciano's arrival.I have to inform him of everything. Time really moved so slow, it felt like night time would never come. I watched some television, ate, slept and yet still no sign of Luciano."Ma'am dinner is ready" a maid informed me as I read a novel in my room.I did not even realise when she walked into my room."Is Luciano back yet?" I asked.She shook her head in response, "I do not know Ma'am. I have be

A week laterThe morning sun cast long shadows across the landscape as Luciano approached a half asleep Jade.He sat next to her and watched as she stirred from her light slumber. She yawned mildly, stretching her limbs before her eyes flickered open.Luciano gazed at her lovingly which got her taken aback."What's wrong Luciano?" Jade asked."You look so beautiful when you are asleep do you know that?" He kissed her lightly on the lips.Jade recoiled in the feeling of his warm lips against hers. "What's the catch? You are being so loving" she said."No catch sweetheart. Right now I just feel like getting on bed with you" Luciano responded causing a shade of pink to permeate her face."Why don't you then?" Jade cooed.In as much as he badly wanted to do it, to spend the rest of his day on bed with her and fill the entire room with her moans, he couldn't.There were pressing matters at hand, something that demanded his immediate attention."I have something urgent that I need to hand

A Bride For The Don 64. Waves of Uncertainty
JADEA WEEK LATERThe smell of waffles sifted into my nose as I cracked my eyes open to find Luciano packing some food in a flask. A smile formed at the corner of my lips as I looked up at him. “What are you doing?” He looked back at me, “we're going to the beach, let's have a picnic there.”I gasped, excitement bubbling within me. I threw off the blanket covering me and got on my feet as I hugged him. Then, realization struck. “Didn't you say I can't go outside for now because…” I trailed off, but he knew what I was insinuating.It wasn't safe, even with Raffaele still hospitalized, a man like Luciano wasn't short of enemies now was he? Especially since Arturo threatened him a week ago, he's been paranoid ever since. He turned around and grazed my chin with his fingers. “I won't keep you inside forever my love, this isn't the life I want for you, I'll be there to protect you, and they'll be men on standby in the distance okay?” I nodded, my smile faltering. “Now go get ready,” he

LUCIANOI laid Jade on the stretcher as the nurses pushed her towards the emergency room. I squeezed her arm gently, “You're going to be alright,” I said, looking down at her. She swallowed, blinking rapidly. “Sir you'll have to wait here for her,” a nurse said, blocking my way as they closed the door to the emergency room.I nodded and stepped back, “she's pregnant, please save her,” I pleaded. The nurse nodded and entered the room, shutting the door behind her. Another stretcher rolled past me, one carrying Raffaele, his almost soulless eyes locked with mine for a fleeting moment before he was whisked into the emergency room. Aurora, her eyes puffy and red let out a cry as she pressed her back against the white walls, sliding down. I clenched my jaw, swallowing the lump that formed in my throat. “Code red! Code red!” A man screamed from inside as the life support machine started beeping. Aurora and I jumped to our feet, plastering our faces against the glass.It was Raffaele, h

LUCIANOThe car tires rolled against the asphalt as I drove towards the abandoned factory, a scowl etched into my features. I was going to save Jade, no matter the cost. Petro and my uncle had managed to convince me to take a few amen along with me. After all, what good would it be if I went alone and got killed by Raffaele, what would happen to Jade and our baby? Who would protect them?The mission was impromptu, so most of my best men were not available, most where offshore handling other issues. So the available ones would do. Petro would arrive at the location later with some back up, it was now or never. I was going to make Raffaele regret ever crossing me, he would regret putting Jade in harms way. The gravel crunched under my boots as I stepped out of the car, the deserted factory looming ahead. Luca's gaze met mine for a fleeting moment, a silent understanding passing between us before he and the others melted into the shadows. Raffaele wanted this solo - a dance of blood
A Bride For The Don 61. A fight for love
LUCIANO I kicked the dirt beneath my feet as I let out a frustrated sigh, the sun had dipped and it was getting darker by each passing second. All my men had rounded up near the church. “We searched the area to the best of our ability, there was no sign of her anywhere,” Petro said. I stole one final glance at the cluster of houses in the distance. I couldn't help but wonder if there was a chance that she was inside one of these houses, tied up and scared.I looked around and arched an eyebrow, “Where's Jose?”As if the universe could hear me, my phone rang in my pocket, he was the one calling. “Hello, Luciano… You might want to see this,” his voice sounded over the line. I stepped into the abandoned wooden house, cigar sticks were scattered all over the floor and it seemed like some people had been here.Thuds met my ears as Jose descended from the stairs. We made eye contact and he tilted head upwards. “Upstairs, they left some things, it looks like Jade was here.”I followed

LUCIANOMy car screeched to a stop where the tire track vanished. I looked ahead, frustration clogging my reasoning. I couldn't find Jade like this, I had to think of a plan, come up with something..I let out a shaky breath as my anger rose. When I catch the person who took my Jade, I'll make them regret being born. The shrill of my ringing phone permeated my thoughts, I looked over at my phone, a scowl forming on my face. It was Petro calling. “Hello?”“Hello, Luciano, the cops are at the house and they want to speak with you since you're her husband.”“I'll be there in a minute,” I replied. I jammed the gear shift into reverse left this trail, the road went on and on for hours, there's no way I'd find jade like this. My automatic gates slid open as I drove in. A cop car was parked in front of my mansion, sticking out like a sore thumb. This was an anomaly for a mafia gang, but a necessary one. I got down from my car and made my way inside. “Good morning officers,” I greeted, plop

LUCIANO My shoes connected with the concrete floor as I stepped down from my car, banging the door shut behind me. Fatigue sat on my shoulders as I made my way into the mansion, it was still early in the morning, the sun was struggling to fully set. The only flicker of hope I had was that I'd meet Jade at home because I had left before she even returned back from her parenta house. Her presence made everything feel much lighter. I made my way into the house, my blazer folded against my forearm. As soon as I was in the hallway, my head was already swiveling around in search of my wife. One of the maids walked up to me, curtsying a bit before retrieving the blazer from me. “Where is Jade?” I asked.Elizabeth shrugged innocently. “I don't know sir, she hasn't returned since she went to see her parents.”My expression tightened, “What? Elizabeth, are you sure about this? Because I called her yesterday night and she said she was driving…”I facepalm myself, admonishing myself for not cal

JADETwo days later, I decided to visit my parents. Their house felt like a sanctuary, a haven of warmth I craved. As I entered, their smiles welcomed me, and I couldn't help but express how much I had missed them."Mom, Dad, it's been too long," I sighed, genuine joy lighting up my face as I hugged both of them tight. "Baby, how are you?" Mum replied with an even brighter smile. They led me to the living room and my eyes perused through the walls of my home.Everything was still the same. Nothing had changed."I am fine and what about you both?" "Well we are fine as you can see" Dad replied. My eyes tilted towards the stairs, expecting to see Melissa's bubbly profile come rushing downstairs to meet me."Mum, Dad, where is Melissa?" I inquired."Oh she traveled for her internship. She would be back soon enough. In a month's time I think" Mum replied, caressing my hair. A mild frown appeared on my face at her absence, "I miss her so much. I was hoping to see her""Cheer up princess.

JADE Days drifted by, turning into grain of sands and in the quiet of the mansion, I found myself in a conversation with the doctor.I had been feeling quite unwell for some days and indeed I was worried. The thought that I had eaten something poisonous, something meant to kill me slowly, wouldn't leave my head.I mean we are back in America, the den of our enemies.Luciano being a don has a lot of enemies and I'm no exception to the looming threats around his life.The constant nausea made me tensed and when it's sickly wave wouldn't stop, I just had to meet the family doctor.He ran a test on me yesterday but I couldn't wait to see the result and left quite immediately."You are pregnant Mrs Greco" the doctor told me with a warm smile, handling me the test results.Fuck!
