"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.

"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

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.

He asked playfully. "Nothing much, just catching up." I told him."Emilia, I need to discuss

My heart raced as the servant's words echoed through the vast corridors of the mansion. Someone at the door, desiring to meet me. "Ma'am, there is someone at the door. They are looking for Emilia. I think you should talk to them." The maid said and my heart started beating loud.Panic gripped me momentarily. I can only think of one name, who can come to meet me.I was scared that the worst that I have thought of has happened. My children are sleeping and maybe it's Adriano who has come to meet them.My mind instantly conjured the image of Adriano, the man I had reluctantly married, causing a shiver to run down my spine. The mere thought of facing him sent shudders of fear through me.I don't want to go to the door and talk to him. I could physically feel my legs wobble.Yet, a flicker of courage ignited within me. I couldn't let fear dictate my actions. I prayed to God and gathering my resolve, I made my way towards the entrance. Anticipation and anxiety were waltzing within me. The

"Dante told me."Her casual response hit me like a punch to the gut—Dante had told her the address, I was furious.I never trusted her in the first place but now it feels like a slap on my face.She still talks to Dante, maybe he sent her here, to keep an eye on me and my kids. I need to kick Lily out but I don't know how to.Fury surged within me, and I couldn't contain my disdain as she mentioned the name Dante. I despised him with every fiber of my being. "Dante? Why would he tell you where I live?" I snapped, my voice edged with anger."It's quite clear whose side you are on." I was furious as I raised my voice at her."How dare you come to my house? Get out, there is no place for you here Lily. I don't know why I let you in. I thought maybe you have changed. I wan
