"Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.".....I revised this sentence a million times in my mind until I started feeling dizzy as I meekly entered the dimly lit room. The scene in front of me turned me pale.How can I forget to knock at the door before entering??Yeah, maybe cause I am a bit jittery and nervous as hell.A manly figure tied from his legs, hanging upside down, covered in his own blood greeted my eyes. All I could hear was his weak whimpers that came out from his busted lips, while getting beaten with a rod, by a 6 feet tall muscular man, who was Adriano's personal bodyguard.As my eyes travelled across the room they landed on the man I came seeking here. In one corner stood the devil himself.Adriano Romano.As

7 years ago(Glimpse of the past)"I want to go to the...," Before I could finish my sentence I got the answer."No." A firm no, that is what I got as an answer from Adriano.He didn't not even let me finish my complete sentence and I already know his answer now."But I.... Please." I tried again to tell him what exactly is my demand."I don't like repeating myself." Adriano looked straight into my eyes and repeated "No."There was no sense in standing there and begging him to let me go on the camping trip with my friends.There is no way this man is going to melt.I rushed out of the room and went straight into mine. I want to be alone.But I can't even get a minute of peace in this house. Someone knocked at my door. I felt relieved when it was my mother."Mom, everyone is going. I also want to go." I tried to insist my mother to let me go on the camping trip that my friends have planned.But now I get it, there is no possible way I will be able to convience her."Are you not in a pr

There was no one in the kitchen except for me and my Mother but still I had to murmur to her. Can't risk anyone hearing our conversation, otherwise both of us will land in a big trouble."But Mom, how can I marry someone I am afraid of? How will I ever be able to love him?" By the look mother is giving me, I can tell she already feels irritated by my questions.'Never question about anything. It's not a woman's job.' My mother reminds me all the time."Emilia, stop this right now." She raised her voice at me. "You will have to marry Adriano one way or another." She doesn't love me at all, it's clear."We are afraid of the God too Emilia, but at the same time we love him too, right."My mother cannot be serious at the moment."Mom, how can you even compare Adriano to the God?" My eyes swell up with tears. I honestly cannot argue without crying."He is like a God for us, you stupid girl. He helped our family when we went through the worst times. He is the reason your brother is out of t

Death is far better than living with two elder siblings. The siblings who are ready all the time to push you in problems to save their asses.An elder sister that hates you and is so jealous because you are going to marry the man of her dreams. And an elder brother who is using you just to strengthen his position among the mafia.Only sensible person in this house is my brother's wife Gianna, and her 2 years old daughter Aida."Hello Emilia, the most important human in this family." Someone taunted me and I need not to lift my head up in order to know who it is.Of course, it's Lily, my elder sister.Just ignore her, she isn't worth the time and efforts, I reminded myself."Heard that Adriano is coming for lunch today." She came closer and leaned onto the kitchen counter where I was preparing the lunch.Ignore her, my mind kept repeating."Aww look at you, are you just going to ignore me? Come on now, soon you will get married and start the best of your life, fuck a hot husband and if

My brother and Adriano sat at the dinner table while me, mother, Lily and Giana (my sister-in-law) served them food."Adriano" I hear a faint voice that came out of my sister's mouth."May I speak?" Adriano didn't even lift his head from his plate, instead he simply nodded. He usually prefer silence on the dinner table.What does she want now?"Emilia told me today that she doesn't want to get married, she said she is going to run far away from here soon." Hearing her words my eyes popped out of the socket due to the shock.Adriano's hand, that held the spoon filled with food, stopped in the mid air, leaving his mouth half open.Whatever my ears heard left me unsettled. Has she gone crazy? Does she really want me dead so bad?Don't cry. Don't cry. I bit back my cheek as I tried to stop myself from shivering under Adriano's presence.I looked at my sister and saw that wicked smirk lurking on her face again, the one she gave me in the kitchen. So this was all that she was planning to do

13 year old Emilia was different, a good different. She was chirpy, bubbly, talkative and adventurous.Once I heard my father saying to my mother, "Both Emilia and Lily are big girls now. Old enough for marriage. If they are to find a husband and become perfect housewives, their wings need to be clipped before they learn how to fly."And mom.......well, she agreed with him.That's how my mother was, followed every order that my father gave. she is still the same, following every order that a man gives her, without any questions.I can't say that my father's absence and untimely death was acceptable because after he was gone, my whole family was completely at the mercy of Adriano.After hearing what my father told my mother I got really upset, my cheeks turned red due to humiliation. I ran into my room and hugged the pillow and started crying.That's when my uncle Alfonso came bragging in my room.Men here never knock at the door.Uncle Alfonso didn't live with us, he used to visit my

Adriano didn't even spare me a single glance while we were in the car, he seemed busy on this phone.The gate opened and I stepped out of the car as we reached the mansion.He went straight to his room and I followed him.This is the time. God save me please, I gulped.Adriano's room was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.It was lavish.A huge king-sized bed, neat blanket and pillows, black and white walls, a huge bookshelf, there was a mirror wall and a door that might lead to bathroom.Adriano went straight to the bathroom and I stood still near the doorframe. He hasn't told me to get in, yet.Five mins later he came out with his shirt sleeves rolled up and wiping his hands and face with towel."Come in" He looked at me standing on the door frame and I went inside."Take rest." He said and started moving out.Is he not going to do what we are supposed to do on our wedding day?Where is he going?Does he have work on his wedding day too?"Where are you going?" The question sl

*Mature content ahead*I have never seen a naked man before.I have never been naked in front of any man.My breath hitched."Relax." Adriano held my hands in his and told me. My hands seem way too small when compared to his."Take a deep breath." He encouraged me. "Are you really ready for this?" He questioned.I nodded.Why does he keep asking me this again and again?"Words, Emilia. Words. I want your words." He told me."Yes....yes I am ready." One thing is on seeing his naked figure I could feel something strange happening to my body.I am kinda getting excited. I could feel my heart racing, not in an anxious manner anymore, but rather in a curious manner.The second thing is I really feel like exploring the sensations I am feeling to the fullest. And this can only happen with this man as he is my husband now.Third, I want to get over with it.Seeing Adriano's smooth skin from head to toe affected me in a brand new manner.I nodded as he locked the door, put his phone on 'do not

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?"
Beginning of the end 131
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
Beginning of the end 128
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
Beginning of the end 127
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
