Adriano has been leaving for work early and coming back to the mansion late, for the past week now.As more the success he achieves the more he needs to work in order to maintain the reputation.I thanked God because it seems like he is on my side.It's been more than a week since I got to know that he killed Gianna. I went inside that hidden room to unveil further secrets that shocked me after I saw what is reality.Adriano killed his father. I got to know I am adopted.But still in the evening when Adriano came back I pretended that I am quite unaware of everything.I cannot show how hurt I am, in front of him because it won't make any difference to him. Instead I planned that I would hurt him by revealing all his secrets and backstabbing him.Now my plan is to get to his laptop. I know there is a lot of important details regarding his 'illegal businesses' in there.When Adriano finally came back from work and went to take a shower I pulled out the laptop and tried to open it.It as

The anticipation and fear was killing me.Finally the time has come Adriano had just returned home from his work and went straight to take a shower like he usually does.The window of opportunity presented itself as he headed to the bathroom. I couldn't afford to let this moment slip through my fingers. I waited for certain minutes and as I heard him start the shower I rushed to get the laptop.With trembling hands and a heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination, I approached the laptop. My fingers danced over the keyboard as fast as they could, and I entered the password that I got to know.To my surprise and relief, the laptop accepted the password.I took a deep breath.At the same time I kept an eye on the bathroom. My ears were minutely listening to the sound of the water flowing out of the shower.Entering the correct password granted me access to the treasure of information that lay within the laptop. The screen displayed folders upon folders, each one a testam

I tiptoed as I tried to move across the garden in the backyard.I am running away.I am running away from this place or I should say hell, forever.I got to know that everyone in the house is going to attend a wedding. Adriano will be in the office and so will Enzo. Adriano asked me to go and attend the wedding but I made excuses that I am not feeling well and that I am not in a mood.In the end Adriano gave up and told me to rest.Adriano said he will return late in the evening so I take medicines and eat on time. I thanked God that he got a lot of work so that he will be home late.There were the cleaning and house maintenance staff but I know how to trick them.As soon as Adriano left I got up and took out a bag. I rushed to open the hidden door and get the files and reports in found in the room hidden behind that secret door.My heart was beating loudly and I was able to hear my heartbeat in my ears.I was sweating, not because of the heat but because of fear.Fear of Adriano.My

I dressed up and so did Adriano.I was upset that I will have to attend Dante's birthday celebration but now that I have a plan I cannot wait to go to the hotel.When I reached there I wished Dante a happy birthday, and on the inside of my mind I cursed him.I was expecting to see Lily, my sister but she was no where to be found."Looking for someone?" Dante asked me."Not really." I replied instantly."Your sister is not here. I dumped her." He accepted and I was not even shocked.It was something that I was expecting from him anyways.For the whole celebration I stayed with the crowd.Finally when men started to leave for drinking alcohol in a hall all the women gathered and talked in a seperate hall.I went with the women.I waited for certain minutes. I need to be patient if I want everything to work smoothly.After a few minutes I excused myself, and went to the bathroom.Marcus was already there.He told me he has a friend who works in this hotel, so he sneaked in early and mana

Adriano's POV:-I feel dizzy. My head hurts.What is going on?I got up and saw everyone in same condition. What the actual fuck? I stood up as fast as I could and felt my head being heavy.I saw some gripping their heads, some still unconscious.I took out my cellphone and dialled the guards that I stationed on the main entrance and they came running inside after hearing what has happened.I just remember that I lost consciousness after drinking the wine."Close all the doors. Do not let anyone out. Tell all the women of the family to get inside this room. Order the complete hotel staff to gather here RIGHT NOW." I commanded my men and they rushed into action.My blood is boiling. Who can even date to do that?Almost every one was conscious by now. I called the doctor and ambulance.The doctor checked us all and said there is no need to rush to the hospital.We were all given a pill, that was powered and mixed with our wine, that caused temporary unconsciousness, the doctor explaine

A month later.It's been a month.One whole month.A complete month of me escaping from Adriano. A month of free living.A month of living in Marcus' friend's house. I am running out of the money I stole from Adriano and his family members. I am trying my best but it is still difficult to manage the expenses.I don't go out of the house, I am scared to do that. I know Adriano's man are around.I need to login to my email ID but I know if I do that Adriano will get the notification about it. And he might be able to track the device I logged in with.I cannot take this risk this early.I need to think about something else.Those documents are important but what's more important to me is staying low for a few more weeks.I live with John, Marcus' friend and I don't regret the decision I took a month ago.It's quite safe with John. He is a nice and decent man who knows how to behave. He is calm and doesn't speak much.But I take extra cautiousness.I keep the gun, that I stole from Adria

"How?" I asked him.He grinned.I can see how his eyes turned evil."You know I came here, wearing my new shoes, but now they got dirty because of all the traveling I had to do because of you." He said. What is is trying to say? I am not able to get it."So what?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion."So my darling I want you to clean them up and in return I will pay you." He commented.He cannot be serious!What is he making me do?Has he completely lost his mind."I won't clean your shoes, neither with a cloth piece nor by brush. I am not doing it." I yelled at him.This is not the the Adriano I know. This cannot be the man I married."Of course you are going to do it, and you are going to do it right now. Or else you know that the child won't be alive for too long." He smiled.All the men in the room laughed at me.I have never felt so insulted. I don't believe what I just heard.It felt like I am getting pulled into hell.It felt like someone slapped me hard right across my face a

I made John call Marcus and made John tell him to meet up at his place by this afternoon.I know it might be a bad idea but I am ready to take risks.I just hope Marcus does not get followed.John told Marcus to stop by the houses of his other friends too. So that no one will doubt his sudden presence here. It was just to create confusion.We told him to use a public transport to visit us.My anticipation was killing me. I just hope he reaches here safely without anyone following him.Marcus arrived about three hours later, because that's the least time taken to cover this much distance and by visiting his certain friends.John opened the door.I was too scared to even go near the main door. Adriano has instilled so much fear in my mind that it's really difficult to fight back.I stood behind the wall and when I was sure enough that it's Marcus, then only I came out "You sure nobody followed you?" John asked him."It's been about a month. Adriano's men have nearly stopped following m

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
