[ Arielle ]I spent the rest of the day with Lilliana. She’s a nice woman with a good sense of humour. She kept me involved in talks and we had our lunch together. For the first time in two weeks, I felt good, having someone in a huge house who likes you and respects your ethnicity and your personality, it means a lot. She gave me valuable advises for my survival in the house as she herself lived at the estate when Lorenzo used to work for his brother.I again felt lonely when she left in the evening. No one can stay overnight at the estate without the Capo’s permission. I insisted her to stay for the dinner but she said she had to go back as she and Lorenzo were flying to England to attend a wedding function.The temperature had dropped and the wind became slightly chiller but I had no mood to go back inside the house. The walls feel colder and dead.“Shall I bring a shawl for you, Ma’am?” Emily asked who was walking beside me at a distance.“No, I am fine. I am going inside in ten m

[ Vincent ]Arielle Wilson, a name which has been invading my mind for last eight days. I tried telling myself that it just my mind playing with my sanity and engrossed myself in my work. The return of Faolan Walsh and his secret meetings with Nikolai spread among the circles like a wild fire. As the leader of the Italian mafia, the responsibility to stop Nikolai who is also seeking aid from the Mexican mafia along with Faolan, fell upon my shoulders.“So, what’s next, Capo?” Marcello asked. I left him at the estate to ensure my family’s security and to handle the business in my absence.“Faolan has brain, Nikolai has the resources and it’s a deadly combination. We need to be discreet. Edward has taken the responsibility to trace Faolan’s activities who is working lowkey. We have to catch him when he expects the least and our chance is near, the annual meeting of the mafia heads in Madrid and this year my brother-in-law is hosting it.” I lay out my plans to him.“Do you really think t

[ Arielle ]A kiss.Words can hardly do justice to the range of emotions they evoke. Currently, I am also going through the swirling of contradictory emotions. Vincent’s lips were on mine, it happened in a split of a second, I froze on my spot, I could taste the bitterness of whiskey in the tenderness of his soft lips which took mine for a perfect kiss.It was spontaneous and exhilarating. For several moments, my mind was fogged, I couldn’t understand whether it was my illusion or he was kissing me in real. The heat radiating from his body wrapped me in its warmth, my shaking hand fisted the fabric of his shirt. His left hand was around my waist to hold me on my place while his other hand inclined my face for a better angle.He bites on my bottom lip and I gasped. It was happening in real. Vincent De Niro kissed me out of blue and he isn’t backing out.This kiss was different from the one we shared at the altar, I could feel urgency, want, protectiveness, jealousy and a trace of inse

[ Arielle ]“I can’t believe, you’re going to the vineyard and the Capo himself is taking you there?” Emily paced behind me. Her face told that she was in shock, Marcello had same expression when he saw me getting ready.“Yes, in fact, you have a day’s rest today. Go and give yourself some time.” I said and checked my appearance in the mirror. I wore a white cotton shirt with high waist denim jeans and boots. I asked the guards about the soil and structure and they suggested me to wear boots instead of sneakers or normal shoes.“You look different today, more like yourself today, Ma’am but I’d suggest you to open your hairs, they look more prettier when they wave in the air.” She said pointing on my high ponytail.I took in her advise and let my hairs fall on my shoulders. I applied a nude shade of lipstick.“It’s perfect now. The Capo won’t be able to take his eyes off from you, Ma’am.” She teased me and I again slipped into my thoughts.I don’t know where we stand in our marriage. I

[ Arielle ]The car drove on small lanes, stretched between the fields, the bright sunny day, clear sky and mild breeze, I found myself lost in the open air, I almost forgot that the most dangerous and feared man of this soil was sitting next to me.If this small fraction of my life gives me temporary happiness, I can live with it.“The weather isn’t this pleasant in this season in New York. In fact, I haven’t gotten a chance to see fields and summer in such picturesque place since my grandparents died.” I said, I didn’t expect him to hear me but I felt like talking in the moment.“I know the life in New York, to be honest, I was better there. You must be a unique piece who doesn’t like the city life of the city of dreams.” I heard him saying.“It was your escape and this is mine. We both left our past behind that’s why a change of air allowed us to breathe without suffocating.” I said looking in his direction now. The warm sunrays falling on his face made him look more handsome. His

[ Arielle ]I took countless pictures of the vineyard, sky, birds and mine. It took me by surprise that Vincent quietly handed his phone to me and stayed behind when I ventured freely in the vineyard and clicked many pictures. I was taking my selfie when I caught him staring at me. He was leaning on a poll.“Vincent, please let me take a picture with you.” I requested him.“I am fine here, Arielle and if you have taken enough pictures, give back my phone.” He said with a bored expression. I pouted and walked to where he was standing.“One picture won’t hurt you, Vincent.” I said and blinked my eyes.“What’s the use of our picture?” He asked me with a raised brow and I won’t lie, it hurt me.I lowered my eyes and shook my head, “It’s okay. Here’s your phone. Thank you for letting me use it.” I stretched out my hand to give his phone back.He took it from me without saying a word. I turned my back to him and started exploring the vineyard, the workers were excited to have us there, they

[ Vincent ]I thought I just broke her heart. I must feel satisfied when I made an attempt to take the gleam of hopes from her blue eyes. I should celebrate my victory as she would hate me more because I just told her the cruelest truth that I kept hidden from her after I let her paint her dreams. I waited patiently for her to complete what brought a genuine smile on her face.Then why was I not feeling good?“You have Adrian here at the estate as your prisoner?” She asked me, for the first time her face wasn’t readable.“I can’t put it like this. We don’t treat our prisoners but yes, I have kept your brother under strict observation, even a fly can’t pass through his security, he won’t be able to escape because I fear he’ll find a possible ally in one of my cousins who wants to dethrone me.” I said the plain truth with no filter.“I think he’s safer here. I believe you’ll teach him some good lessons, if not, at least he won’t be able to create more problems for Alexander or someone e

[ Arielle ]“I can’t believe I’ll be living to see this day, dear brother.” I crossed my arms and saw my brother glaring at me, he was sitting behind a glass wall which separated us. He’d not hurt us because there were more than two dozens armed guards on both sides.“It is your sick scheme to get your revenge, right?” Adrian sneered at me like a pissed off cat.“I am not like you, Adrian. Your father dearest made the deal with my husband. You should be feeling grateful to him that he spared your life and from where I can see, you’re living a much better life than mine at our father’s home. I can’t see a single scratch on your body. Do you really think Nikolai would show mercy on you?” I arched my brow at him, I challenged him to answer me.“I never asked father to beat you. It used to be your faults which led you in trouble and get punished.” He defended himself and right in that moment, I wanted to smash his pretty face.“Right, it was always my mistake. I deserved to be beaten like

[ Marcello ]I kept hitting the punching bag, sweat dripping down my face, my breathing heaved and body wanted to give up but I didn’t stop as my anger couldn’t sustain because the image of Ella being hurt by a man whom she trusted, it kept reminding me that I failed my promise to protect her. How she coiled in fear when I pulled that monster away from her, it kept paining me.“Capo, please stop.” Vincenzo tried to stop me for the multiple times but I didn’t hear him.Finally, the punching bag fell off and I was totally exhausted by the vigorous work out since the early morning. He quickly grabbed a towel and wiped my sweat but I took the towel from her and cleaned myself. He gave me a water bottle which I finished in a go.“Why are you punishing yourself, Capo? The man is under police’s custody and I assigned our best lawyers to represent Miss Ella in the court. He’ll receive a good sentence for God’s sake if we’re going to punish him in our way.” He said but I couldn’t find my menta

[ Ella ]Vincenzo dropped me off at my house. Lucy decided to stay with me. I told her to go home since she was equally shocked and terrified with the incident but she chose to stay with me. She said that she couldn’t leave me alone or she won’t be at ease. Rita went to the hospital, she didn’t want to go to see Adriano but Lucy told her as his parents and family live in Rome. He’s all alone here.“Ella, go and take a shower, I’ll prepare hot chocolate for you.” Lucy said to me and I dragged my half dead body to the bathroom.When I discarded my clothes, I saw bruises on my arms. Those hellish moments refreshed in my memories. Tears brimmed into my eyes. Adriano called me a whore, this word stung. If Adriano thinks that I am behind Marcello’s money then others must be thinking the same about me.I let the warm water soak me. The scars on my body will be healed in a few days but I don’t think the wounds on my mind and heart will ever be healed. People whom I loved and trusted, they bru

[ Ella ]“What are you saying, Adriano? I think we should talk tomorrow or when you’re sober enough to talk with a cooled mind.” I said to him when I sensed that he wasn’t in his right state of mind due to the effect of the alcohol.“Answer me now, Ella. I want to know what you feel for that man slayer.” He raised his voice.“Adriano, you’re crossing your line again. I told you not to mention Marcello again. It’s not your business what is my equation with him.” I said in a stern tone this time because he was hurting me mentally.“I get it. I should have seen it coming since that bastard started visiting us often.” He scoffed and laughed dryly which started scaring me because he was a totally different person from the man I know.“I am leaving, Adriano. We’ll talk tomorrow.” I said and about to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“Adriano, what the hell is wrong with you? Leave my hand, you’re hurting me.” I yelled at him and tried to pry him off but his grip only tightened

[ Ella ]Marcello dropped me off at the café. I requested him to stop for a coffee and fresh buns but he denied saying he had a lot of work and he’d be occupied till the weekend. My heart sank when he left with only a formal goodbye. I am kind of habitual to his cheesy talks and flirting.I couldn’t concentrate on my work which was to bake fresh sets of cupcakes for a birthday party order. Rita was with me but I didn’t see Uncle Rio and Enzo. Aunt was on the counter. It was good at one side but my mental peace was gone.“Ella, a penny for your thoughts.” Rita eyed me and I shook my head. I am not someone who expresses herself easily unless it’s too heavy to bear alone.“Come on, my sweet little girl. I can tell by looking at your face. A certain someone has stolen your mental peace and….” She pointed her finger at my heart, “Heart, Ella. You are in love with Marcello Romano.” She yelled and my eyes widened because there were others in the kitchen.“Rita! Have you gone nuts?” I whisper

[ Ella ]Fuck!What did I do? I kissed Marcello Romano on the lips. What he must be thinking about me? I couldn’t resist myself when I heard him promising me everything that a lover can do for me. I know he likes me, he expresses his feelings for me now and often but I am not certain about my own feelings for him. Sometimes, they are too intense that I am not able to supress them just like the unexpected kiss and sometimes my brain questions my heart.I shouldn’t be harbouring such emotions which may hurt me in the future. Marcello is a great person who only showed his good side to me but I can’t ignore the fact that he’s a mafia. He may not use violence in front of my eyes but he’s a part of it. He’s tend to use violence, if it’s not me, then others, his enemies. His life is always in danger. I can’t shake the insecurity off.I didn’t recall when I fell asleep while thinking and debating about my present and hazy future. When I woke up next day, I felt recharged and ready to start my

[ Marcello ]The beauty in front of me, I have no words to praise her because no words in the dictionary can justify her beauty inside out. I am obsessed by her, her sweet scent, her smile and laugh like a music to my ears. This girl stood against storms in her life, fought them bravely and still stay positive about her future even though I am not happy with her decision to go away from the city.“Marcello, you can drop me here. I can walk from here.” Ella’s soft voice forced me to look at her. we drove mostly in silence. This time I had my security with me because I don’t want to take chance with her safety.“No, I’ll walk you to your house, it’s not very late but your safety is my responsibility.” I said, she nodded her head in agreement.We stepped out of my car. I gestured my bodyguards to follow us closely behind but don’t catch attention of her nosy neighbours. I don’t want any inconvenience for her which can solidify her desperation to move.“Thanks for a wonderful day, Marcell

[ Ella ]“Thank you once again for this memorable day trip, Marcello. I enjoyed every single second I spent at the De Niro’s property. 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.
