*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 didn't go after Anna. I let her weep in silence in her room. I left her alone.I did not tell Adriano either.Instead I went back to Sofia's room."Emilia, you missed out the fun part, about how Aria got her new diamond necklace." Sofia said. I gave a fake smile to pretend that I am intrested in their conversation.I sat with them.Suddenly my eyes fell on Bella's hand. It was wrapped with crepe bandage."Bella, what happened to your hand?" I questioned her.Aria and Sofia looked her hand and Bella instantly tried to hide her hand behind her."No..No it's nothing." Why is she trying to hide it?"What's that? Tell us. What happened to your hand?" Aria also insisted.Bella finally gave up and showed her hand, she was trying to hide. Her hand was swollen and wrapped with a crepe bandage."I fell down, from the stairs." Her face is showing that she is lying."Are you lying?" We all are suspicious about the explanation she gave so we didn't believe her."E.....Elias. He....He punished me

I hate Bella for her behaviour. She told Elias everything I said.Everything that we talked about, word to word, because she said -'I don't hide anything from my husband, it lands me in trouble. My husband asked what we talked about so I had to tell him. You see I can't lie.'But right now I am the one who is in trouble.Elias, told everyone. Dominic, Enzo, even Uncle Cosimo and......Adriano.I was escorted to Adriano's office where everyone was already present. Now are they going to punish me for putting forward my thoughts. I am mad at this but I am scared too."Is Bella telling the truth? Did you say that the ladies of this family should go against their husbands." Adriano had a poker face. He didn't seemed angry."Not in that sense......I was just-" Adriano shook his head and it was enough for me to keep my mouth shut.So I simply nodded.There is no point in arguing."We already warned you about this girl Adriano." Before Adriano could say anything further Uncle Cosimo interrupte

Things went smoothly for a few weeks.To my surprise Adriano took Anna's secret very lightly. He did not get angry or did anything to hurt anybody.Adriano had a meeting with his men in his office. For past few days he is working way too much.He seemed to be taking a lot of stress over his work. He didn't have his breakfast either.After about three hours of discussing the business, all the men left.I was getting bored so I went to Sofia's room.She was not there, so I went searching for her.I searched for her in the garden, but she wasn't there either.So I went looking for her in the vacant rooms of the mansion.I found her.But she was not alone. Enzo's driver, Liam was also with her.What is this man doing here, alone with her in an empty room?As soon as they both saw me, color drained out of their faces. What is going on-My world flipped upside down when my eyes traveled down.What I saw sent shivers down my spine.Sofia was holding a knife, not just a normal knife, but a kn

I panicked and called Adriano and told him everything.I don't want to be called a bitch but I went to my room and thought about it, whatever I did was a logical decision because-A) If Dario tried to cover Sofia's mouth how did she scream?B) How did Liam entered the mansion as no staff member, except for the maids are allowed inside the mansion?C) Is this situation worth taking risk and going against my husband?Adriano arrived and so did the ambulance. The doctors informed that Dario is still alive but he has lost so much of blood that for the next 24 hours it is uncertain to say, whether he will live or not.Adriano was red with anger."Do your best Doctor. Dario is a tough man. He will live." Adriano told the doctor.The environment was so tense.Adriano's guards caught Sofia and Liam and presented them before Adriano.Adriano was furious already. I could see him shaking with anger but still trying his best not to show it."I swear Adriano. Dario tried to rape me. He......He for

We hate our family, but at the same time we love them.When 'family' word is involved there is just no thing as hate or live. It's only family.Family is a six letter simple word yet a very complicated one.For the whole evening I was mad at Marcus for being a spectacular asshole.But then I really got worried about what Adriano will do it he repeats the same mistake again.I know my brother is stupid but I will never wish for his death.I was worried about Adriano too. I don't want any harm to come his way. Not specially from my brother of all the people.I was worried about Gianna, she is pregnant and she has been taking a lot of stress lately.My conversation with Gianna on the phone would definitely have been monitored so I don't see any point in hiding anything from Adriano.He already knows it.I decided to tell him about my brother after making love to him. It has become a custom, a daily routine to have sex. I love how he comes back late from work but still never disappoints m

I find Adriano soothing and calm and his gentle aura is so attractive. Unlike other men he doesn’t yell or slam things when he's upset and that's what I like the most about him.He does get angry and he is strict in a manner but he isn't outrageous.But sometimes it irritates me that because of his calm nature I am unable to read what's on his mind.Yesterday Enzo sent Sofia at Dario's place and I was so mad at Adriano that he let that all happen in his presence and he didn't even say a word to stop his brother.He sent some of his men to find and catch Liam.Adriano was so mad at his men on how careless they were regarding Liam.We came back to room and I refused to sleep with Adriano. I never expected him to not rescue Sofia and now I regret not helping her."Why are we not having sex?" He was already annoyed for some reason and now I know I am pissing him off even more."You did wrong with Sofia." I told him clearly."And?" "And I don't sleep with assholes like you-" I said it

Before leaving I saw Mrs. Romano. She was questioning me with her stare, that where am I going, but then she saw Adriano is with me and she turned around and walked away.Of course can't dare to question him. But can say whatever comes to her mouth to me.Mrs. Romano looked so weak. Yes, she has lost her daughter and it might be hard for her. When Anna was alive she used to hit her and treat her bad but now look at Mrs. Romano, she must be repenting.I noticed while walking she was limping. She must have been hurt or something because of which she isn't able to walk properly.Now that I am part of the family it's my duty to ask for her health.I asked Adriano what happened to her and he told that she slipped down the stairs and Enzo saw and rushed her to hospital. Her ankle got sprained.Adriano was silent the whole time in the car, he didn't say a word. He actually looked sad. The loss of a family member is one of the biggest loss, what so ever.After we reached our hotel suite he

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
