...ADELINE I stood in front of the small house which was supposed to be my home. I stood there not caring about the rain pouring on me. I was cold and drenched , soaking in water but nothing could be compared to what I was feeling right now. It had been two years since my father passed away. The man I truly loved and the man I was proud of. I was his princess and he was my everything. The best father I could ever imagine. The cool dad I could ever have. It was already late night and I wanted to spend this away alone. I did not want anyone to interrupt me or come in my memories with my father. I was also aware that my family would be searching for me but I also knew, no one was aware of this place. It was a secret between me and my dad. He gifted me this place on my sixteenth birthday and we would always come here on my every birthday till last year. I took a deep breath and walked towards the front door. Unlocking it with my fingerprint, I stepped inside as the whole house li
...ADELINE I could feel his intense dangerous gaze on me making me tremble in shame and fear. My hand reached out and grabbed the duvets and pulled them covering my body. He stood there with no expression but darkness radiated from his aura. I was so ashamed caught like this that I could not lift my gaze to look at him. My heart was pounding in my chest like a drum. My face was flushed and I tried to cover my body not wanting any inch to be seen. Suddenly, I felt him walking towards me and I closed my eyes ready to get the worst scolding and embarrassment. “ w-why are you-you here? “The words escaped my lips as soon as I felt him next to the bed. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed his fists clenched tightly making me close my eyes once again tightly. I was scared of the reaction and I couldn’t not predict anything either. “ I-I am s-sorry- I just- ““ do you have any idea how worried everyone is? “I opened my eyes and slowly looked up at him and now I could see very clearl
...LUCIANO The fuck did I just do. I cursed at myself as I looked at the fragile figure passed out from exhaustion. Her dark brown naturally wavy long hairs sticking to her body like a piece of art. Her chest heaved up and down and my eyes travelled from her neck to the perfect size of those mountains and the erect nipples wanting to be pinched so badly. I clenched my fists as my eyes dropped to her waist and the curve of her hips making me want to take her right now but I had to control. She was my late best friend’s daughter who was only nineteen and I was twice the age of hers. I was her uncle. Lastly, my eyes dropped to the mess she created in between her legs and I closed my eyes, gulping down the lump formed in my throat. I was Lucian Morelli. A man who was aware of his needs and wants. Who knew when to control himself but at this moment, It was getting hard. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before feeling my cock twitching inside my pants. I knew she was not i
...ADELINE Luciano’s words roamed in my mind. He had my mind occupied and I couldn’t seem to focus on any other thing. Currently, I was sitting in the backseat of his car, next to him on our way back home.I let out a soft sigh and looked at my hands in my lap and from the corner of my eyes, I watched him. His hand resting on his thigh and my cheeks flushed thinking of where those fingers were last night. I closed my eyes and squeezed my thighs still feeling the tingles in between my thighs and it made me imagine all the dirty things he’d do to me with just those fingers. Soon, the car ride came to a stop and soon my side of the door was opened. I stepped out and my eyes fell on the person walking towards us. Christian Russo, Luciano’s best friend and his manager, a man who stays with him 24/7. He looked at me as I blinked nervously before stepping aside. I was not a social person and was not good with people of opposite gender. I always felt so intimidated and shy whenever I
...LUCIANO “ why do you look so lost ? “Christian looked at me making me snap out of my thoughts. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. How could I tell him that Adeline had been on my mind since that fucking night. I looked at him not believing myself that I was mind fucking my best friend’s daughter who’s my own niece’s age even a year younger. Fuck me.I rubbed my hand over my face as Christian now sat up, his full attention on me. “ Adeline “As soon as her name escaped my lips, I could feel my pants tightening making me gulp the lump formed in my throat. She was intoxicating me and just her name got me so hard. I could still feel her warm soft skin against my rough hands. She drove me crazy just by her thoughts and the image of her legs parted and my hand buried made me want to make her scream again. “ something seems out of control “Christian’s words made me look at him and it was true. My thoughts for Adeline were getting out of control. “ something happened betw
...ADELINE A gasp escaped my lips as he bent down and his face just inches away from my boobs. My eyes widened slightly and a whimper escaped my lips as I felt his hot breath fanning my hard nipples. “ so pretty “He whispered in his deep raspy voice making me hold back my moan as I felt his warm mouth caging my sensitive bud. His tongue rolled over my bud making me whimper loudly as my arms unknowingly moved up to his neck and wrap around it. “ o-ohh fuck- “I gasped and spread my legs to give him more access to be comfortable on top of me and I felt his hardened bulge against my clothed pussy making me grind my hips for some friction. He sucked, licked and bit my nipples, playing with them making me shiver under him. It all felt too much to handle at once. He suddenly grabbed the waistband of my trouser and pulled them down Getty rid of them instantly. Suddenly, a shriek escaped my lips before I quickly covered my mouth with the back of my palm when he placed his hand on my
...ADELINE I closed my eyes in frustration and shame. I remembered what me and Luciano did last night but the look on Christian’s face after finding us …… made my heart to thump badly. I did not know what was gonna happen. If he was gonna tell everyone or whatsoever. I closed my eyes and cursed at myself for drinking and losing control when I KNEW I SHOULD NOT HAVE DRUNK. I looked at the time and sighed before quickly making my way towards the bathroom to get ready for the day. .I walked towards the door after adjusting my skirt before making my way downstairs. I swiftly moved towards the huge dining room where everyone was gathered. My heartbeat accelerated and my eyes scanned the room to find one specific person. He was nowhere to be seen. I gulped and watched as Aurora signaled me to join her. I let out a deep sigh and took a step forward when I ……… tripped on my own and gasped. My body leaned forward and I closed my eyes, ready to hug the floor when someone held my arm p
...ADELINE Aurora pushed me down back on my chair as she cornered me in the now empty classroom. It was lunch break and all students had left but before I could, aurora had me cornered. I looked at her with confusion written all over my face but seeing the cheeky grin on her face made me …… realize where this was gonna go. “ aurora- ““ tell me everything “My eyes widened slightly at her words. Everything? Did she know about everything- everything me and Luciano did- “ i-its nothing- ““ oh come on babe. Don’t be so shy. I mean we both share the same type of secret and we’re best friends. Like how cool “She excitedly clapped her hands making me blink my eyes at her in disbelief. The fuck she thinks is so exciting about this. We both were in love with people who didn’t care about ‘love’. “ I never thought my uncle would be having you as his wife “My eyes widened at her words and my cheeks flushed. Me as Luciano’s wife? The thought sent shivers down my spine but A rush of exc
...ADELINE The loud music continued to blast through the speakers making my head slightly hurt. My chest rose and fell as I took a deep breath, the cool glass of vodka trembling slightly in my hand before I tipped it back. The liquid burned its way down my throat, but I welcomed the sensation. It was a distraction, a reprieve from the whirlwind of emotions Bianca’s words had stirred up earlier. I shook my head, trying to push the thoughts away, and glanced at the dance floor. Aurora, Kiara, and Rose were completely lost in the music, their laughter and wild movements blending into the pulsing beats of the club. They looked carefree—exactly how I wanted to feel. I wanted to be free and do whatever the fuck I wanted but this love had messed me up so bad. My fingers reached for another shot, determined to drown every ache in the bitter drink. I didn’t notice the figure approaching until a firm hand wrapped around my wrist, halting me mid-motion.“Let go,” I groaned, my voice slur
...ADELINE I sat on my bed, my legs crossed as I stared blankly at my phone. My mind was still spinning from the pictures and the threatening call I had received earlier from Elena. The weight of confusion, betrayal, and anger pressed heavily on my chest. I could not believe it. How could Luciano hid this from me? I should be aware of his past and specially now that his past had come in my way. Our way. Our life. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the door creak open.When I finally noticed, my head snapped up to see my mother, Bianca, stepping into the room. My frown deepened when Bianca quickly closed the door behind her and turned the lock.We never had a good relationship. Never had that mother - daughter thing going on and she rarely came to see me and every time she came, it was all for her benefit or to show others. “What are you doing?” I asked, my voice uncertain as I set my phone aside.Bianca ignored the question, walking toward me with a determined expr
...ADELINE I stormed into my bedroom, my face flushed with anger. I was fuming. The argument downstairs still rang in my ears, every word Luciano had said echoing over and over like a relentless drumbeat. I slammed the door shut behind me, leaning back against it for a moment, trying to catch my breath. My chest rose and fell rapidly, my emotions churning like a storm inside me.“Why does he think he can control my life?” I muttered to myself, running a hand through my hair. My hands were trembling, not just from anger but from the overwhelming sense of suffocation. I felt caged, like a bird with clipped wings.I did not want to live such a life following someone’s orders. I pushed off the door and crossed the room, flopping onto my bed. My fingers gripped the pillow tightly as I stared at the ceiling, trying to calm the rapid beat of my heart. “I don’t want to live by anyone else’s rules,” I whispered. “Not his, not anyone’s.”Just as I exhaled deeply, trying to steady mysel
...AUTHOR’S POV The front door swung open, and Adeline and Aurora stepped inside, their laughter echoing through the quiet house. They carried shopping bags, their arms brushing as they walked, lost in a lighthearted conversation about a couple they had seen at the mall.“I mean, seriously,” Aurora giggled, nudging Adeline. “Who slow-dances in the middle of a food court? It was so over-the-top!”Adeline laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “And the way they kept feeding each other? I thought I was going to die of secondhand embarrassment!”Their shared laughter filled the living room as they entered, but it died in an instant when they noticed the atmosphere. They had gone out on aurora’s request as they were bored and also Adeline wanted some fresh air so aurora insisted. As soon as they entered the living room, the silence startled them. The entire family was gathered there, the air thick with tension. Luciano stood at the center, his posture rigid, his dark eyes blazi
...LUCIANO I clenched my phone tightly, staring at Elena’s name glowing on the screen. Her tone earlier had been sweet yet suffocating as she insisted we meet. She had been wanting to see me and now that I had a reason to meet her too, I knew I should not delay anymore. I knew declining wasn’t an option; Elena never let go of things easily, especially not me. The choice of a dinner meeting, at a restaurant of her choosing, only heightened my unease.She would not have listened unless I said it to her face to face. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to ease my mind. Stepping into the softly lit restaurant, I felt a pit form in my stomach. I did not know what was gonna be Elena’s reaction. I knew very well, she would not handle it well but I had to get it done before anything happened again. The place was elegant, intimate, with low-hanging chandeliers casting a golden hue over the polished tables. The faint hum of conversation surrounded me as I chose a table near the corne
...ADELINE Without Any Warning , he pushed me down onto the bed and Slammed his lips on mine , kissing me passionately , so passionately that I forgot the reason for being sad and crying and my whole mind was filled with the kiss we were sharing. I closed my eyes as his kiss got hotter each second. My body trembled feeling something building in me and he , all of a sudden , held the waistband of my pjs before pulling them down. I was weak and did not had the power so I just followed him. I closed my eyes and he pulled away , taking off my pjs and throwing them somewhere on the floor. I hide my face with the back of my hand and he chuckled before pulling my hand away from my flushed face. I gulped and he looked down at my underwear that had a wet spot on my underwear as his smirk grew wider making me look away in embarrassment. All of a sudden , he tapped my hip and I bucked my hips up as he slide down my underwear smoothly. I closed my legs and shut my eyes tightly not to fee
...ADELINE The room felt stifling once again as Aurora and I froze, staring at the door that had just opened. Standing there, leaning casually against the frame, was Christian, his familiar smirk plastered across his face.“Good job lying, sweethearts,” he drawled, his voice laced with amusement.Aurora’s shoulders sagged in relief, her wide eyes narrowing into an exasperated glare. “I didn’t lie,” she retorted, rolling her eyes dramatically as she crossed her arms.I sighed in relief and closed my eyes to calm my heart knowing it was not Aaron. Christian chuckled, his smirk deepening as he tilted his head. “Sure, you didn’t.” His tone was teasing, the kind that made it hard to tell whether he was being serious or not.Before Aurora could fire back, Christian’s gaze shifted behind him, and My breath caught as another figure walked into the room—Luciano.My heart raced the moment my eyes landed on him. I clenched my fists around the blanket and gulped nervously. His tall, command
...ADELINE The tension in the room was so thick it felt like it could snap at any second. I frozen, my palms clammy as I stared at Aaron, who loomed in the doorway. His sharp green eyes were narrowed, his jaw clenched, and his sheer presence was enough to make my throat dry. Aurora beside me, looking pale and stiff as a statue, her smile long gone. The air was charged with unease, and the silence was deafening until Aaron’s deep voice broke it.“Who did you kiss, Aurora?” His words were cold and precise, his tone leaving no room for excuses.My heart literally came to my throat as I got goosebumps knowing we were in trouble and there was no way out unless a good lie could help us out of this mess. Aurora’s lips parted, but no sound came out. Her usual quick wit failed her as her face went white. I glanced at my best friend nervously, silently pleading with her to say something, anything, before this spiraled further out of control. But Aurora stayed frozen, like a deer caught i
...ADELINE I was laying, curled up in her bed. The only source of light was the faint light from the window casting soft shadows across the room. The fever clung to me like a heavy weight, sapping my energy and leaving me too weak to do much more than breathe. I was tired and miserable. I was not in my usual self, my usually bright eyes were dull, my skin pale and damp with sweat. The past two days had been a blur of restless sleep and silent moments of staring at the ceiling. I had no strength to even get up from bed. Aurora sat nearby in a chair, one leg tucked beneath her as she flipped through a book she wasn’t really reading. She had been by my side almost constantly, worried about my fever and my uncharacteristic quietness. A smile appeared o my lips knowing she was always there for me after my father’s death. She had been a source of happiness in my life and I thanked God everyday for that. “Addie, are you hungry? You barely ate anything earlier,” Aurora asked softly,
