"No I don't. Please just tell me." I insisted them. I need to know how am I making it difficult for Adriano, to be with me? Because I always thought it was the other way around."Emilia, it's nothing, leave it. You don't need to worry about it." Aria glared at Bella and shook her head. I caught them sharing looks."Please just let me know." I clutched Bella's hands and requested her. I desperately need to know it."Ok we will tell you, but you have to promise us, you won't tell Adriano that we told you about it." I promised without wasting any moment."Well, when you were not in Adriano's life..... I mean when he didn't choose you for himself, there was someone else...... umm, someone else with whom Adriano was engaged to." My mouth flew open in surprise. Why do I feel like I am the last person who knows about this. Why has no one ever mentioned anything about it to me?"But, that engagement was nothing more than a business union. Adriano was to be profited much more with help of that

It felt like a dream. Adriano caring for me, being gentle with me in the bed, asking for my consent before touching me, giving me expensive gifts, surprising me on our one month anniversary. Even I forgot about it; but despite being so busy, he remembered. And after last night and after hearing those words that came out of Aria's and Bella's mouths it felt like Adriano really cared for me. It's not a big thing to celebrate. It's just been a month, but Adriano told me he wants to cherish every single moment with me. For the whole night Adriano was a husband, kept making love to me, spooned me, rubbed the cake over me then licked it off my body using his tongue. His tongue was everywhere. Arghhh..... It's such a great distraction. I kept smiling while thinking about it the whole night. But as soon as the sun rose, as soon as the clock struck 5 in the morning, he became a Boss again. The cold look was back on his face. He got out of bed at sharp 5, exercised, bathed, got dressed, o

I went to see Aida even after Adriano told me not to. I accept I make stupid decisions but she is a child and Gianna begged me to go and check her well beings.I somehow managed to slip into the room she was kept. Aida was sleeping peacefully so I let her. Swiftly I tried to slip out thinking no one noticed my presence. But nothing can be hidden from Adriano.He did not say a thing when maids told him about me going against his orders and going to Aida's room. He instead told me to go to our bedroom and wait for him.Adriano did not sleep with me last night and truth to be told I felt very bad about it.I cannot ignore the fact that I have started to need him. Need him. Want him. Badly.According to him, I was siding with my brother and that meant I was going against him.We had a little argument where he said I am on my way to disappoint him. That I should be by his side as he is the one who got betrayed by my brother. And he could not forgive a betrayal. He assumed that I was takin

"When I first made up my mind to marry you, I promised myself that I will never hit you. Never even raise a finger at you. Why are you provoking me to break that promise?" He looked straight into my eyes.Being a grown ass woman, it feels so insulting to hear these words from mouth of a man.From a man who clearly told me in the starting itself, that I should never hide things from him, but I still did.I was stunned at hearing his words. Will he ever hit me? My heart sank.But he better know that if he ever tried to, I will do everything in my power to stop him."Adriano I -" Tears streamed down my eyes. "You cannot talk to me like that.""Of course I can." He quoted.I know he can, but if he ever raise his hands on me, it will be over. I will never forgive him.But right now, I have no idea what is going to happen to me, anymore.Even though I see rage in his eyes, he is still talking very calmly with me.He didn't show his anger and frustration in his tone."Emilia, I want kids.

I have been laying on the bed for more than six hours and I didn't even run out of tears. I am on the verge of getting sick due to all this crying, but it's not in my hand.I am unable to control my tears.Tears are voluntarily falling down my eyes. The amount of humiliation I felt after hearing words that Adriano spoke to me is huge and I am unable to distract myself from this pain.For one moment I started believing that Adriano really cares and the next moment he proves me wrong.Why does he do that?In a moment I think life and future will be good with my husband, he has a soft corner for me but the very next thing is he proves me wrong.And now I live in constant fear, where he must be. Is he with my sister?"Or you know, he might bring his mistress home and make you watch while he fucks her." -- these were the exact words my sister, Lily told me and now they felt like my biggest nightmare.I heard a soft knock on the door.It's not Adriano, I am sure of it. He never knocks.Some

I don't remember how many hours passed. My body was aching as I was laying down on the floor, crying.Someone knocked at the door and I immediately got up, wiping my tears.It was Gianna standing right in front of me.Gianna? My brother's wife. Aida's mother. How is she even here?What is she doing here and at this hour? Whatever be the reason she doesn't look well.As soon as she saw me, she fell on her knees and wrapped her arms around my legs.What is she doing?"Emilia. Please." She cried out burying his face in my legs."Adriano's men caught Marcus. They are bringing him here, to present him in front of Adriano." She hiccuped while crying."Adriano..... Adriano's men bought me here. Please Emilia, save us. Save your brother, save me and Aida, I beg you." My eyes brimmed with tears.I realized how helpless I am. How little power I have over Adriano now. There is no way he will listen to me now. Not after what happened today.How do I explain Gianna that I am unable to help myself

Am I dreaming?I woke up late in the morning and Adriano bought breakfast for me in the bed."I made it myself." Said he. I don't believe his words at first but he said he really knows how to cook, he learned to impress me.I blushed.I would have considered all this as a bare minimum, basic life skill that every person irrespective of their gender should know, if I would have married to a normal man. But here we are talking about this man.Here we are talking about Adriano.I told him I couldn't eat before he eats but he assured me that he had already eaten."Your brother and his family are free to go after he is punished." I stopped eating.Now I know I am back to reality. Last night felt like a dream. Where Adriano acted as a mature one out of us two and accepted and acknowledged his fault.I feel sorry too. For hiding things from him when he clearly told me not to."Adriano you promised you will not hurt him." "I promised that I will let him live. And after I am done punishing hi

*CONTENT WARNING*Homophobia. Please keep in mind it's fiction. *********I excused myself from the conversation that was going on between us four as I was thirsty. I went out to get water but then I heard something.I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard a loud slap sound from the adjacent room and rushed to see what is happening.Peeking through the window I found Anna laying on the floor and Mrs. Romano full of rage.She has definitely hit Anna. I could see the fingerprints on Anna's cheek."Why the hell are you bent on bringing shame to this family?" Mrs. Romano looked furious. "Your brothers work their ass off, day and night and you haven't thought about them for once." Mrs. Romano yelled at Anna and she did not say a word in return. She just kept her face covered with her hands.I know she must be crying, hard."I lied to both my sons regarding you. I sent you away so that you learn something better and stay out of trouble. Your aunt i

I woke up to the gentle rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. Its peaceful.Today was the day I had been dreaming of for so long – my wedding day. I cannot believe it's all happening in reality.I am getting married to Salvatore. I am so excited.I stretched and yawned, a wave of excitement washed over me.I don't remember being this happy ever before.There was a newly found sense of peace that I hadn't felt in years. Today, Salvatore would become my husband, and I would leave behind the shadows of my past.Today I completely move on and start a new life.Adriano is dead. And so is Dante. My biological father who tried to trick me is also dead.I have dealt with enough problems in my life now. And today I am setting myself free.These deaths have been a turning point in my life. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders, allowing me to breathe freely again. I was excited and so were Aida and Emma. After what eve

You and Emma were asleep when you heard a loud bang and the sound of guns firing.You immediately hugged Emma and closed her ears.Emma also jumped and woke up hearing the sound."What is happening mommy?" She asked looking scared and I had no answer to her question because I was unaware too.The sound of guns firing cannot be good, but I don't want Emma to be terrified.Then there was a sound of loud explosion and Adriano came rushing in."Emma, Emilia, he took us out of the bed. We need to run. We are under attack." He grabbed the gun from his drawer and took us out of the room.Me and Emma were being rushed down the stairs and when I reached down I saw Dante with his gun. Dante ran towards the other way from where the sound was coming from."We need to leave as soon as possible. He is here." Adriano said.Who is here? I wanted to ask.But when I moved my head the other way I saw a silhouette of a familiar man.Salvatore.My eyes lit up.I freed my hand from Adriano's grip. Grabbed

I woke up in the morning by the sound of Adriano screaming at someone on the phone."I will kill that fucker." He yelled in the phone."Dante, I will take all the matters in my hand now. You do as I say." Speaking this Adriano turned to look at me.He cut the call and told me to get dressed. "That fucking boy-toy of yours is getting on my nerves now. Apparantly he is on a mission to find out where I have kept you. He reached one of my warehouses and found the drugs that I had kept there before selling them offshore. Now the police is involved and I might end up getting in trouble, but don't worry honey I will never let that fucker find you and destroy our family again." Saying this he barged out of the room.I hope Salvatore is well.I know he is working according to the plan and so am I but Adriano seemed really furious now. He looses his cool and do some reckless shit when things start to get out of his hands.Adriano came back inside the bedroom to get his coat."You are leaving?"

I sat on the bed, waiting for Adriano to arrive.To my surprise he did not lock me again in the basement. He did not starve or tried to manipulate me.Instead he took me to a bedroom upstairs.I peeked out of the window and realised I am in middle of nowhere. The house that I was kept in was searching facing and I was hearing the sounds of the waves.It took me minutes to realise that I was on a island. Adriano is holding me capative in the island so that I cannot escape."If you are looking out for an escape, there isn't any." He informed me.I still sat near the window.He came closer. "Also there are lots of wild animals here, if you set a foot out they will hunt you down. And I don't want my child to be motherless for rest of her life." He chuckled after that.It irritated me. "Aren't you so pathetic Adriano. Trying to use Emma in every possible way to blackmail me. Act like a grown man for once." I barked at him."I want to keep you alive, that just my motto. I never said about

Adriano entered the basement and came and sat next to me on the floor.I was furious that he took Emma away from me. I am furious that I had to leave Aida and follow his orders.I know Salvatore must be taking really good care of Aida, but I am her mother. I feel the loss.For more than twenty minutes we both sat in silence.I decided that this time I am not going to be scared of him. This time I am not going to let him brainwash me.I will stand strong.I know he had many things he wanted to say, but I am pretty sure they all will be horrible."Got back from where we started, huh?" Adriano finally broke the layer of silence.I did not respond."Emma was missing you." He commented after seeing me not react to his words earlier.And I tried my best, I truly did but I couldn't hold back."Where is Emma? How is she? I wanna see her." I sounded so desperate, which I was, for my daughter.I want to see Emma, I want to talk to her, I want to play with her, I want to hug her.There is nothing

Dante ordered me to go and sit in the car. I had no other option but to obey.As I tried to step inside my heart started beating loudly.My heart was screaming to turn around and somehow try to run away. I realised I am not at all ready to go and face Adriano again. I turned around to see Dante standing near the car, he was carrying a gun in his holster. So running away won't do me any good. He might shoot and injure me while I try to escape.At the same time I was worried about Emma. I have come this far, I cannot give up. I will rescue my daughter. I reminded myself of the promises I made to myself.It's not the time to give up, it's time to act smart. So I followed Dante's words and silently got into the car.After removing all the evidence of burning my things Dante got in the car. The whole car ride was silent.We did not even look at each other. I kept looking out of the window when a sudden thought hit my mind.Why does Dante hate me so much?I never knew anyone in my whole li

Aida was asleep when I left. I am happy about it, otherwise it would have been really difficult for me to say goodbye to her in this situation.Salvatore handed me the key of the car and assured me that he will soon come to rescue me. I need to believe him, which I do, but there is a strong fear in my mind regarding Adriano.Before getting in the car I looked back at Salvatore. He has done so much for me. Our relationship is based on maturity and equal respect for each other. This makes me even more happy. But now my life is about to take a drastic turn. I know Adriano must have planned something horrible for me. But I will bear it all until I get to know about the whereabouts of Emma.After driving for another forty five minutes I reached the address Adriano texted me.The whole street was empty and right in front of the spit where I stopped my car, there was another car already waiting for me there.I got out of my car and took my travel bag out and wheeled it to that car.I was ex

I worked according to the plan. I am not going to be scared of Adriano this time. I will fool him instead.He cannot win against me.Salvatore came up with a plan but I am not completely relying on it. I am quite aware how clever Adriano is. He will somehow sabotage all the plans against him.And Emma needs to realise that her father is a bad person. I know in this process her heart will break. I won't tell her myself but somehow I will let her know Adriano's true face.Adriano warned me not to tell the cops about it, and I would not risk it. Because there might be some corrupt policemen who might be working for Adriano.So I only told Salvatore about it. He assured me that in order to keep me and Emma safe, Logan will do his best. Salvatore told me how he and Logan have been friends since childhood and he can be completely trusted. Salvatore told Logan not to let everyone in his department know about the phone call from Adriano. Logan exactly did what Salvatore told him to.More th

Logan sent some of his men to check the CCTV cameras of the roads.If was getting worried sick. I was getting paranoid with each and every moment. I went to Aida's room for atleast 4 times in one hour to check whether she is there or not.I am too scared to lose anymore people in my life.Turns out that Emma left on her own, no body forced her or she has not been kidnapped. I started rethinking my decisions. I did not consider in the beginning that Emma will be so hurt seeing me and Salvatore as a couple. In just a couple of months she has gotten so close to Adriano that her little heart is not ready to accept any other man as her guardian.I understand that this fact is painful and difficult for her to accept but she needs to know the truth that her father is a terrible person, I am not sure that I will be able to tell her anything in details because it's horrible, and I am sure her childlike brain won't be able to listen and understand to so much trauma.Another thought stuck in my
