last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

I wake up from the sound of my alarm ringing. I check the time on my phone; it’s just 6:30.a.m. Why is my alarm ringing now, I still have 2 hours before work starts? I am about to lay back down when I receive a text message. I check it and see it’s from my boss.

“Where are you? I hope you have not forgotten we have a meeting at seven this morning, Miss Luciano?”

He has never called me by my name before. He must be in a bad mood. Oh my God, I forgot about the meeting this morning. I have only thirty minutes before the meeting starts and I have not even gotten out of bed. He is so going to kill me today.

I quickly walk to the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. By the time I am done showering 5 minutes have gone by, meaning I have 25 minutes left. I quickly dress up and run out of the house.

Mama has gone to work, so I have to use the bus, but if I use the bus I won’t make it on time. I decide to use a cab, but unlu

  • Bullied To Love   CHAPTER 9

    It has been two days since the whole late incident and office drama went down. So far, since I have been working here this has been the best two days. Enzo has not given me unnecessary work; he hardly looks for me. He sends his secretary to me if he needs anything instead of telling me himself. If you think of it maybe he is trying to avoid me after what happened in his office, but it’s not like I did it on purpose. It just happened that my top buttons were open and because I was kneeling he was getting ‘a front-row view’of my cleavage. If he can’t deal with it, then that’s his business.I have an appointment today with the doctor. We are going to talk about mama’s surgery payments since I have the money. The only problem is that the meeting is today. I don’t know if Enzo will allow me to go if I ask him for the rest of the day off. I could go without asking him because it’s actually around my lunchtime. But what

    I have been working non-stop since I got to the office this morning. Today is Friday, which means no work till Monday. I am so happy, but Friday’s are my worst working days. I have to finish all my work for the week before going home. And I am not planning on staying late again.Enzo left very early this morning. He did not even let me prepare breakfast for him. Since I came to the office, I have not seen him all day. I am grateful for that because the Enzo in the office and the Enzo outside of the office are two different people. I still wonder why sometimes.I am in my office replying to some of Enzo’s emails when my phone vibrates beside me. I check to see a message from Enzo saying,‘we have a meeting with one of his investors from London at 1:00.p.m.He also said‘we are going to meet the investor at a restaurant not at the office,’one that I can’t even pronounce the name of,

    I wake up with a big smile on my face today. I can't believe I slept in the same bed ‘with Lorenzo Costanzo’ I am mentally screaming. After our conversation yesterday, we decided that we would take things slowly. I am so grateful he acted like a gentleman, despite our attraction to each other. I still need to learn to forgive Enzo for everything he has done to me. I spoke to him about Chris and any future men I might come across. He said he would learn to control his possessiveness. I also made him promise to go to the hospital today and apologise to Chris for his behaviour last night. I remove Enzo's hands from around my waist, making sure to be careful not to wake him up. I make my way to the kitchen to make something to eat. On my way to the kitchen, I pass this huge mirror that I did not notice last night. I look down at what I am wearing, and a big smile appears on my face. I am wearing one of Enzo’s black shirts with a pair of his new boxers. I make my way to the kitch

    I wake up to the sun reflecting on my face. If it were any other day, I would not be happy about waking with the sun on my face, but today is different. Today is the day Enzo will proof to me he is worthy of my forgiveness. By doing wonderful things, I could never imagine him doing for me. I want to freshen up before Enzo wakes up. I try to remove his hands from around my waist without waking him up, but my plan fails. I look down and see those beautiful green eyes staring at me with a smile on his face. Those same eyes that leave me breathless every time I stare at them."Hey, beautiful," he says with his sexy morning voice."Good morning," I say trying to pull away from him so he won't smell my morning breath."I am about to go and make breakfast. Do you want anything?" I say finally releasing myself from his hold. I quickly walk away from him to avoid him smelling my morning breath."Anything you make will be fine with me," he says as he gets up from t

    The next morning Enzo drops me off at home before going to work. He promised to pick me up in the afternoon so we could go and check out the site for the restaurant. I walk into the house straight to the kitchen, because Enzo was in a hurry so we did not have breakfast. I sit on the stool to try and think of what to eat when another thought occupies my mind.Sometimes I feel like the things happening in my life right now are not real. Like I am imagining all these beautiful things happening to me right now. The one man in my life I would have never expected to make me so happy is the same man making my life’s dream come true. This side of Enzo I am seeing is making it very hard for me not to fall in love with him. I know that I have stronger feelings for him, and I can’t even explain what I feel anymore. But the main question here is, do I love Enzo? Funnily enough, I do not know the answer to that question. But I have a feeling I will be able to answer that soon.

    “I missed you guys so much, but I don’t understand how you guys are alive. I watched you both die in my arms. That was the worst day of my life,” I say still holding tight to my brother's hands.“We will explain everything later. But first we eat and entertain the guests that should be here any minute,” papa says.As soon as papa finishes speaking, Vanessa comes to announce that the guests are here. The family that walks into the living room just made this whole night a lot more exciting and confusing, when Enzo and his entire family walk in. The surprise on our faces could not be faked—but only between us children—as our parents don’t look fazed by anything that is happening. I am already shocked to see my brother and father, who I thought were dead, alive today. And now I am finding out that my family knows Enzo’s family, but the big question is how? Because even though some of my memory is back, it’s still

    I wake up with someone's arms around my body. I get more comfortable knowing its Enzo. Then I remember that I am in his house, not my father's house. I can't imagine how worried my family is going to be when they wake up and find out I am not there. I get up and look for my phone to call mama so she won't be concerned, but my morning could not get any more difficult. I pick up my phone and see its dead. I must have forgotten to charge it last night. I will just get home before she wakes up. I have to wake Enzo so we can leave before anyone notices I am not home."Baby, baby, baby.""Mmmmm.""We have to leave before someone notices I am not at home," I say, but it is like I am talking to a wall because Enzo only gets more comfortable on the bed."ENZO WAKE UP," I say shouting into his ears."WHAT," Enzo says, picking up his gun from his side table that he kept incase of an emergency."Oh, it's you, mi amore," he says putting the gun back down."What

The maid opens the door and asks me who I am before letting me in. I tell her my name, and she lets me in. She says Enzo is waiting for me in his bedroom, to which she gives me directions. On my way to his bedroom I say hi to Mr and Mrs Costanzo. I knock on Enzo’s door, but the only sound I hear is water running. I enter and decide to wait for him guessing he is showering.

    10 YEARS LATER It’s been ten years since the war. Apparently, Carlos was making sense the day we were fighting. He is not related to my father in anyway, for which I am grateful. He is the son of my paternal grandfather’s enemy. My paternal grandfather killed Carlos’ father and carried Carlos away when he was a baby. He raised him but never told him about his true identity, but it seems he found out. He became angry and decided to finish what his father started according to him, but we all know where he ended. Enzo and I have never been happier in our lives. We have four beautiful children. Stefano, Thomas, Aurora, and Melissa. Enzo loves his children more than anything in the world.

    I amstanding outside Papa’s hospital room, praying and hoping for him to get better. “Mama is papa going to be okay?” I ask with tears running down my face. “Yes, honey, all we have to do is pray and hope for the best. Baby girl you don’t have to cry anymore, papa is going to be fine,” Mama says, picking me up off the ground and placing me on her hip while hugging me close to her. “Why is mio angioletto (my little angel) crying?” My uncle Carlos says. “Uncle Carlos!” I say quickly getting down from mama’s hip. “Uncle Carlos, why is daddy not waking up?” I say hugging him tightly. “Don’t worry little one, everything is going to be fine.” “Camilla, what happened?” “We were celebrating Val’s fifth birthday party when gunshots were fired from nowhere. They were aiming for Val, but Marcus got in the way and save

    The next morning I wake up at half past noon. I am not surprised, I was exhausted. I walk out of our bedroom to find Enzo. I see him in the study.“How was your night, amore,” I say stepping into the study.“It was good, mi amore, and I am guessing yours was as well, looking at the time you are waking up,” Enzo says kissing my forehead.“You are right. I wanted to tell you that I will be going out with Joan to show her around Sicily,” I say smiling while I sit down.“Okay, just keep me updated if anything happens.”“I will, amore.”“I will be going to Spain with William.”“Alright, be safe and keep me updated too on how things go over there,” I say, standing up from the chair to take my leave.“I will,Bella”“Have you had breakfast?” I say before stepping out the door.“No,” Enzo s

    “I missed you all, did you guys miss me? By the look on your faces I guess not.” Carlos says with a fake smile on his face.“What are you doing here?” I say with venom dripping from my voice.“Hello, my beautiful niece, did you miss your favourite uncle?” he says, stepping forward, but before he can reach me Enzo steps in front of me.“Don’t even think about taking another step closer to her.” Enzo says with pure hatred in his voice. I step beside him to calm him down before he blows Carlos’s head off.“Whoa! I mean no harm.” he says like he actually means it.“Keep telling that to yourself, we both know that’s a lie,” I say while glaring at him.“What are you even doing here? Because, I don’t remember inviting you.”Enzo says.“I don’t need an invitation; I am family after all.”“You are not family

    It’s Friday, one more day to the ball I have been planning for a week. Everything is ready for the ball. The only thing missing is the dress I am going to wear, and that’s why the girls and I are going shopping later this afternoon. I finish with all the last minute arrangements at the hall before I take my car to meet the girls at the mall. I am meeting up with Sofia, Joan and Victoria. It feels so good to have a car now; it makes moving around so much easier.I arrive at the mall and walk to the store where Sofia said they are at. I say hi to the girls before taking a seat to rest a little before I start the search for the perfect dress.I have been to five different stores, and so far I have not found ‘The one’ like Victoria likes to say. We enter a new shop; I see the dress I have been looking the whole time. I ask the shop attendant to get me the dress to try it on. I try it on, and it fits perfectly. After trying on the dr
