Broken pieces sometimes fit together but sometimes they bring the worst outcome Arielle Wilson had only one aim in her life, finish her college and spread her wings far from her father's golden cage so she could leave her past behind but her plans came to an abrupt end when she saved the mysterious man in a dark night or in right words, saved by him.

I can’t believe that I am one of the few people who got the opportunity to live this dreamy life of one of the wealthiest families in the city.He smiled and poured more wine into my cup, “I can do much more for you, mon cheri. Just give me a chance.” He said. We were having our dinner at the estate.I was afraid at first when I saw hundreds of armed men guarding the estate at each corner. The security was unbreachable. I met his mother who is a very nice lady. I didn’t feel like an outsider and they definitely didn’t behave like dominating people.“You can drop me off at my house now. It’s getting dark and I don’t want my neighbours to gossip about my personal life. I bet you’re already a breaking news among them.“Are you not happy that most of your neighbours now think that we’re a thing between us?” He teased me and I immediately looked down at my
[ Ella ]“You shouldn’t come to my house unannounced. The entire neighbourhood was looking at you. I bet, it’ll be spread to the others by now. Those ladies were practically eye raping you, Marcello.” I said to him with rotten mood remembering how those women ogled at him as if he was a piece of meat.“Are you jealous that I am quite popular among the ladies of your neighbourhood?” He smirked and I coughed while sipping on my coconut water that I bought to keep myself hydrated. I am still not used to with the humidity of the place.“No, I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous? You’re not boyfriend or something like that.” I defended myself.“Touche, I am hurt by your bluntness, mon cheri.” He acted to wince and again focused on the road.“This place is beautiful. I have seen vineyards but never been to a private property before.” I said as I saw vineyards on both sides of the road, stretched far and wide. It was a picturesque view.“You have the golden chance to spend an entire day a
[ Marcello ]“What if I tell you that I like you? Will you still leave?”I asked her, it was a now or never question for me. After she shared her fears and her goals for her life, I understood her. I know how it feels to go through pain of losing your loved ones, I had gone through this dark phase myself. Sometimes, I also wanted to leave everything behind and start a new life but I could never really discard myself from this city and this life. Eventually, I found my peace in my work.“Mr. Romano, I don’t know how to answer this yet but we can certainly be friends.” She said.I felt a ache in my heart after hearing her answer. She doesn’t feel in the same way as I do. I was willing to give her everything she deserves, from safety to fulfilling her dreams. I’d give her a loving family. All that I wanted is her companionship because my feelings for her are getting intense day by day.“I think it’s quite late. I should be going now. Please, don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anyth
[ Ella ]“Mr. Romano, please come inside.” I politely asked him to come into my house while ensuring that my nosy neighbours didn’t see a man coming to my house and later complain to the landlady who is an old fashioned woman.He stepped into my house and I closed the door carefully. My heart was hammering against my ribcage. It is the first time I invited a man inside my house that too late in the night. He’s the same man whom I hated and felt scared not less than twenty-four hours ago.“Here, take this food.” He handed me the bag and I went to my small kitchen to serve the pasta into two plates and also the grilled chicken in classical Italian tomato sauce with a lot of herbs and peppers. The delicious aroma made my stomach grumble loudly. I prayed that he didn’t hear this.I returned to my living room with the food tray. The space looked more smaller with his presence.“This is my favourite pasta dish, what a coincidence?” I rubbed my palms together before picking the fork to dig i
[ Ella ]“Ella, my darling. Thank God, you’re fine. I was scared to death.” My aunt rushed to hug me as soon as I walked into their house after my check-up and treatment at the clinic. The doctor advised me to rest for 2-3 days. I told Marcello to drop me at my uncle’s house. I need to talk to him. I won’t let go of this easily. I could be dead today.“I want to be alone for some time, aunt. Please, don’t mind.” I said slowly getting out of her grip. Her face reflected guilt but she pressed her lips and nodded her head.“Mrs. Romano, please take care of her. Make sure that she doesn’t stress herself in the café. I’ll come again to have a world with Rio Romano.” Marcello said and then he turned to me, his features softened when he looked at me.“Take care, mon cheri. Please, don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. I have mailed you my private phone number.” He said to me and handed me the bag of some food which he grabbed for me from a Chinese restaurant in our way.“Thank you,
[ Ella ]It’s been an hour, I sobbed silently when my tears dried up. This place was no less than a hell if I have to imagine one. They didn’t come back again and with passing time, my fear was increasing. My uncle took money from dangerous man like my kidnapper, I had no idea about it and now, I am the one who will be sacrificed.“God, please, save me.” I prayed closing my eyes because I don’t want to die. Even though, I lost everything, my parents were victim of this kind of violence but still, I never lose hope of a beautiful future.Suddenly, I heard yelling and arguing of men coming from outside. I sat straight on the chair. Maybe, they received a negative answer from my uncle. Maybe, my end was near. All of a sudden, the door burst open and I was panicked without looking at the person.“Please, don’t kill me.” I begged assuming it was the same man.“Ella, shhh, calm down, it’s me.” I heard the most unexpected voice and snapped my face up. It wasn’t my dream. Marcello Romano was
[ Marcello ]I was more than excited to see my little angel. Throughout the night, I couldn’t sleep, her cute talks and cute facial expressions kept dancing in front of my eyes. Her sweet fragrance had enchanted me. I was only waiting for the morning so I could go to the café and ask her out like a gentleman.“I see someone is craving for Rio’s cookies early in the morning.” Vincenzo walked into the kitchen with a yawn, I glanced at him, he was in his night pyjamas and messy hairs.“I didn’t give you a day off from work, Vincenzo? You’re looking like a shit.” I raised my left brow at him who was fetching himself a cup of coffee.“I have a killer headache, Capo. I am sorry but I am not in a state to work today. Miss Ella’s friends are crazy, they drank like thirsty camels. If we had to pay the bills, I am sure my bank account will be left with only zeroes. But the real struggle was to drop Lucy, Miss Ella’s friend.” he groaned and by judging his face, I assumed he had trouble in dealin
[ Ella ]“Arghhh, my head is pounding.” Rita entered in the kitchen holding her head. My condition was no different than hers but I kept quiet and busied myself in the café so Uncle and Aunt won’t find out that I was out clubbing till God knows how late.When I woke up, I found myself sleeping in the same dress on my sofa. I didn’t remember how I reached home, probably Rita or her boyfriend dropped me off and then went to their home or it was our other friend Lucy.“Please, put these cookies in the oven and set the timer.” I instructed her and decided to check the lists of raw materials which was running out of stock. We have to order them before evening.“I am sure you had a crazy night and finally lost your v card to that handsome devil.” I heard Rita whispering near my ear and I froze. Was she really talking to me?I swiftly turned around and faced her. She was smirking at me but I was still confused.“Have you lost your mind, Rita? It was you or Lucy who dropped me off my house.”
[ Marcello ]“Don’t, mon cheri. You’re already drunk.” I snatched sixth glass of drink from Ella’s hands, she was totally wasted. She could hardly sit straight.“No, I want to enjoy tonight. Don’t stop me.” she pointed her finger at me, her eyes trying to glare at me but she looked cute. I wanted to pull her cheeks but we were on a public place.“Ella, no, you are already wasted. Your uncle will be mad at you.” I reminded her but she was hardly listening to me.“I don’t want to hear his name. You know he was pestering me to date that douchebag Marcello.” She blabbered and my ears caught it. I realized that she wasn’t in a state to recognize me.“Why do you think that Marcello is a bad guy? Did he do something to offend you?” I asked her. I wanted to know what does she really think about me.She leaned closer, almost brushing her bare shoulder on my chest, her sweet lavender and vanilla scent intoxicated me, I just wanted to pull her into my embrace and make passionate love to her but
[ Arielle ]I gulp down, embracing myself with my hands, the heavy fur overcoat wasn’t helping much in this chilly weather as I was trying my best to reach home before my father comes. It is an unsaid rule in my house, no women should be out after six and it’s past seven thirty. I don’t need to visualize what my father would do to me if he finds out that I wasn’t home before the dusk.I live in a world where my life was decided for me even before I was born and since last twenty-one years, it has been the same.
