Presence of Salvatore made it even more difficult for me to leave.He cross questioned me several times about where I am going. I tried my best to hide to hide my anxiety but somehow I wasn't able to hide it one hundred percent."As someone who is responsible for your security, I need to be present with you wherever you go." Salvatore instructed me.I remembered what Adriano wrote in the email. He specified to come and meet him alone.I cannot take the risk."For god's sake, can I not have any privacy in this house. Why are you so hell bent on invading my personal space?" I yelled at Salvatore. Instantly I feel bad about my behaviour.But I need to be rude to push him away, otherwise he will insist to drive me to places. I cannot risk it."I was just doing my work and-" he started explaining but I had no time listening to him. I was already getting late."Not now Salvatore. I have some work so kindly give me some space." I raised my hand to stop him from talking and crossed him and we

The moment I stepped into Adriano's car, the air carried the scent of leather and sophistication, a blend of opulence that wrapped around me.My anxiety and overthinking was killing me from inside. I could feel weird in my stomach.The luxurious interior enveloped me with its plushness, and the controlled temperature from the powerful AC added to the comfort, creating an unsettling contrast to the fear building inside me.Why has he called me here? What does me want now? It was all so unclear.As I glanced at the person who was driving the car, all I could see was the back of his neck, an enigma that heightened my anxiety. When Adriano turned to face me, his handsome features struck me, his sharp jawline and piercing eyes portraying a magnetism that made my heart race. But I couldn't savor the aesthetics, for I knew the darkness that lurked within him.He has become more handsome than before. And I also hate him more than I used to.Adriano's voice sliced through the tension. "Babe,

Adriano leaned into me and kissed me and I instantly moved back. Wrapping his arm around my back he pulled me closer and kissed me on the lips.I raised my hand in order to slap him but he held my hand with his other one, in a tight grip. "Way too angry, aren't you?" He kissed me again.This softness of his kiss, kills me inside. If he would have been a good man, I would have melted just by his touch. But now his touch disgusts me."Get away from me." I pushed him away with my whole strength and his expressions turned sour.

Pushing the door open, I was thrown out of Adriano's car. He literally pushed me out on the road after our argument. Before he closed the door right off my face, I saw the anger in his eyes.Adriano was mad as he is no longer able to manipulate me.There is no way I will fall for his sweet talk or be ready to raise my daughter with him.Before the car sped away I also saw Dante's face which was plastered with a smirk.Argh, I hate them.so much.I landed on my butt when I fell out of the car.It took me a moment to realise that it was a busy street and vehicles were fastly moving and I was the only one who was still and laying on the road.My heart beat quickened when I realised that I am very prone to accidents, considering my current state.Before I could get myself straight up on my feet, I heard the sound of vehicles moving fastly, in my direction. It was a car.Closing my eyes I decided to stay still.When nothing happened and I felt safe I opened to see where the car went. It was

"Tell me did he hurt you?" Salvatore repeated again. I had no confidence to face him or look directly in his eyes.I not only lied to Salvatore and my father, I also talked very rudely to him several times.I did not do it intentionally, I just wanted to push him away. Salvatore seems genuinely worried about me and my security and I hate that he seems troubled because of me.His eyes were filled with concern and I don't understand how to face him.I am ashamed of myself.And I don't even know why I am embarassed on behalf of Adriano and his behaviour.I tried tdodge the topic but Salvatore seemed to be fixated on knowing more and more. He seemed to genuinely care about me, which I don't understand why.I am also scared that he will tell my father about this. I also don't want my parents to know that I met Adriano. My mother is quite unaware about it, and she is sick so it makes no sense to let her know. I don't want her to overthink and worry about me in such a condition.And I am rea

"Did you meet him before too?" I was still in the passenger seat as Salvatore interrogated me.I don't want to tell him, not because I think it's none of his business (I do understand that my father has assigned him a job to keep me safe, and I get that he is doing his work) but because I don't want my newly found family to be troubled or worried regarding because of my past."Umm, yeah." I admitted."When, Emilia? Why did you not tell me? Why did you put yourself at risk?" He slowed down his car as his face burned up and turned red. "Emilia, you should-" He sighed."I am sorry. I understand that I put your job at risk. You were given the work regarding my safety by my father and I went behind my back to meet Adriano. I swear I did not mean to harm your reputation in front of my father. I did not intentionally do it." I apologised. "It is not about my job, Emilia. You won't get it" He said and then went silent.For certain minutes there was pin drop silence in the car. He did not sa

Adriano's POV -I stormed into the house, the one that I took on rent. Thanks to Emilia I lost my money and my place.But I still have my sources. I will soon get enough money to buy a bigger place. But I don't want a house in this city. Once Emilia starts to behave and comes back to me willingly I will leave this city with her and Emma and we will live somewhere really distant.I think of a dream house near beach, where I live with my wife and my daughter.But Emilia is hell bent on ruining everything. She knows how much I wanted a kid of my own, and as soon as I got to know about Emma I couldn't contain myself.Emilia tried to end my life and in return god gave her a piece of me.With help of my private investigator, Luca, I got to know about their whereabouts. It seems that they have started to live in a mansion. And the owner of the Mansion claims to be Emilia's father. I was surprised myself that how did this man found Emilia. Her features are similar to that man but if it were m

Emilia's POV-I resigned from my job. Salvatore convinced me somehow that it's not safe for me to go outside and work with Adriano out there, lookifor any opportunity to harm me.Talking with Salvatore relaxed me. He made sure of it that I don't take any decisions that put me in any position of harm. For few hours I sat with my mother too. I went to her room and talked to her. She seemed relaxed while talking to me. She told me that doctor told her that she is too weak to walk, honestly to me she seemed to be a little better. She said she cannot get up from bed or walk down the stairs. I completely understand.We talked for a few hours. She asked about Emma and Aida. She also asked about my job. I had to lie to her that I quit job so I can focus on my kids.My dad entered and a small smile danced on his lips seeing me and my mother getting along."What's the mother daughter duo discussing?" He asked playfully. "Nothing much, just catching up." I told him."Emilia, I need to discuss

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
