[ Vincent ]“I love you, Vincent De Niro.”Three words, simple, straightforward words without any alliteration of romantic words, poetic phrases to hyperbolize her feelings.Arielle just confessed that she loves me, it wasn’t out of a moment of passion or the time we spend together. I could read her eyes, she knew what she said and confident about it.“I love you, Vincent De Niro. I know I am breaking the promise I made to you before we agreed to marry. It might be a sin, a mistake in your opinion but I am always transparent and certain about my feelings and thoughts. I don’t know when it happened, perhaps the moment you saved me from Anton and his goons, I always felt safe with you. What else I’d ever want in a man who will never hurt me.” She spoke, I only listened her.I just want to listen to her.“You’ll love me even when I’ll nothing to offer you. Won’t your feelings change if I’d lose my title and will be nothing but an ordinary man?” I asked her.She again kissed my lips, “Wha
[ Vincent ]“So, you’re saying that you want to accept Anton’s offer and support him in his climb to the title of Russian boss?” My brother-in-law, Robert asked me.“Vincent, this is huge. You know the aftermath of this decision.” Stefano, who was listening everything quietly, said with a pointed look. He didn’t look upset but his silence always gives me headache.“He is my only chance to grab the neck of Faolan Walsh, he has gone low profile and it is giving me a sense of failure that he’s free and laughing at my condition from a different place.” I said, my grip tightened on my phone.“Anton is also a smart shark, Vincent. He knows what he’s doing. Don’t you think that he’ll boast his mental victory over you? If you help him to become Russian leader then it’ll impact your position. A man like Anton who has no name of his own, succeeded in playing Vincent De Niro on his finger tips.” Stefano said and he was right on his place.“I think you haven’t heard everything I said, gentlemen.”
[ Arielle ]Last two weeks were no less than total bliss for me. Vincent showed me a side of him that I don’t imagine exist. He expressed himself to me to a great extent. I was living the happiest phase of my life. We spend our most of time together, not talking or cuddling but he works where I paint or sketch, doing our individual work.It gave me time to observe him from close.“What are you thinking, Signora? I bet it’s our Capo invading your mind and heart.” Marcello teased me. I was strolling in the market to buy some art supply with more than three dozen guards walking around me, they were visible and I hated how people were frightened by their appearance.“Yea, I won’t lie to you, Marcello. I can’t help it. My husband is the most handsome man on the planet. Just look at him, he’s tall, have a muscular body, abs and beauty. His eye colour is also unique.” I praised Vincent openly.“Love is in the air. You have corrupted my Capo’s mind. He’s acting strange. I don’t like this vers
[ Arielle ]I hesitantly knocked at Vincent’s room door. Although, we sleep together every night, I always wake up early and return to my room. He hasn’t asked me to stay with him as a couple or hinted me to move in with him so I am taking every step with him cautiously.The door was opened by him and immediately his perfume engulfed my senses. He was wearing a tight fitted black T-shirt and black trousers and wrapped the shawl I knitted for him means he wasn’t up to work or he never leaves his room without clothing properly.“It took you very long to buy your essentials, Ari.” He said and invited me inside the room.I was immediately pulled into his arms and he buried his face in the crook of my neck, his hands loosely holding me. my hands automatically wrapped around his back.“I was waiting for you.” He said in a husky voice.“I was out for only three hours, Capo.” I giggled when he dropped feathery kisses on my neck and it felt ticklish on my sensitive spot.“Yet I feel your absen
[ Vincent ]“Vince…Vincent.”Arielle’s sensuous voice rang into my ears when I kissed her soft, supple skin. I knew it was her soft spot. Her voice turned me on and it took me every single ounce of patience to control myself from having her.“Yes, Principessa.” I stroked her flushed cheeks by my thumbs. She wasn’t looking at me means she was also going through the same tensed wave. We needed each other badly but I wasn’t allowed to engage in any intense physical activity. Nobody would stop me, not a fucking wound nor a stupid doctor from devouring my wife but I can’t upset her. I know how much my condition affected her in last few days.“It’s time for your physiotherapy. The doctor might come anytime.” She said in a low whisper and it added more misery to my self-restraining vow.“I know and he’ll come after twenty minutes which means I can have my ways with you till then.” I smirked and her pupils dilated. She was shivering which was a sign for me that her body wanted me to please he
[ Arielle ]“Shit, what is happening to me?” I placed my hands on the wall of my bathroom, warm water was trickling down my body after I spent steamy ten minutes in Vincent’s room. It was unexpected but it made me realize that I also have sexual desires and I’d be needing him as badly as he wants me.He made me come only by using his fingers and mouth, it was obscene how he made me taste myself on his lips. I felt more connected with him. The burning passion in those eyes and how his muscles flexed, how his jaws tightened, it was evident how much he was restraining himself.My hand touched my sensitive pussy, I felt tingle all over my body because I recalled how he made love to me with his fingers and then devoured me with his mouth. I am falling more and more for him. Every passing day is making me realize how much he means to me.I can’t imagine a life without him.After showering and cleaning myself, I dressed properly in comfortable pants and shirt since it was evening and I decid
[ Arielle ]“A penny for your thoughts, Principessa?”Vincent’s voice forced me to divert my eyes from the iconic scenery of the vineyards. His parents had invited us for lunch. I wasn’t willing to face Lorenzo, who hates my existence but Lilliana insisted me that she wants to meet me, it had been days since we saw each other. So, I couldn’t refuse her.“I was thinking about something but I need your permission first before I speak about it.” I mustered up my courage to say this which had been bothering me for two days.Besides, I don’t want to upset Vincent and ruin what I have developed this far between us.“Is it something which can make me angry, Principessa?” He lifted his left brow means I had a green signal to continue.“May be, I am not sure about this but I’ll discuss it with you when we return home today? Lilliana is expecting us.” I said and tried to bury the matter because this lunch will also be challenging for me.“Are you tensed about my father’s behaviour, Ari?” He til
[ Arielle ]We all seated down for lunch which was prepared by Lilliana. I could sense the tension, an invisible wall between the parents and son. So, I quietly decided to concentrate on the food which was delicious and I was surprised when I saw American cuisine as well on the table.“I thought you are missing the food at your old home so I decided to cook something for you. I hope it’s edible.” Lilliana said hesitantly.“It’s delicious, Mother and I’ll love everything you make.” I praised her. The food indeed was tasty.“Thank you, dear. I have baked your favourite cupcakes. You can take them with you.” She said and I happily nodded my head.“Can we have our meal in silence?” Lorenzo cleared his throat, “Women can never learn how to behave in a civil manner.” Lorenzo commented and our smile disappeared. His remark was derogatory. But we can’t change someone’s narrow minded thoughts so silence is the best option.“Do not disrespect my wife, father. Her place is next to me so disrespe
[ Ella ]“So, this is the end of the story. The prince married the princess in the end. They lived happily ever after with their little daughter who was just like you, my princess.” I closed the fairytale book that I was reading to the young girl who looked sleepy but she was still awake.“This is your and Uncle Marcello’s story, right?” She asked me cuddling into my lap.“Yes, our story is like a fairytale you can say. There were demons in our story too but your uncle fought with them bravely and we are together.” I said with a smile. She blinked her big blue eyes at me.“When will uncle return. I miss him.” the little girl pouted and I started tickling her to lift up her mood.“Your uncle is very busy in his work but he will come soon. I am also missing him but I think he doesn’t miss us or he’d come home early.” I pouted with her.“I heard you both.”Marcello’s voice drew our attention on the door where he was standing. He looked tired but his smile was radiant.“Uncle Mars!” Lila
[ Ella ]I tried to open my eyes but a banging headache forced me to groan in pain. I tried to move but I couldn’t because I felt my hands and feet tied up. I shot my eyes open and found myself in a ramshackle building, the plaster was gone, I could see iron rods on the ceiling and the smell was putrid. I was tied on a chair with no source of light except a small window.“Help!” I cried but I could hear my own voice resonating in the empty walls.I cried recalling the moment when Molly sprayed something on my face and I fainted, and now I am in a shabby place. Someone kidnapped me.“Who are you and why are you keeping me here?” I shouted and cried. I knew my kidnappers were there. They could hear me.A few moments later, I heard footsteps approaching and a man appeared first, behind them entered Molly. She was smirking. Anger rushed through my veins when I saw her. She deceived Lucy.“You bitch! I am gonna kill you.” I shouted and wiggled in the ropes.“I fear you won’t be alive by th
[ Marcello ]“Fuck! Why did I let her leave without security?” I punched the wall as there was no sign of Ella. we searched the whole area where the bar was located but the kidnappers left no clues behind.“I am asking you for one last time, tell me if you are involved with the enemies. Ella was with you two when she went missing.” Massimo pointed his finger at Ella’s friends. The girls were shaking with fear and also crying silently.I rubbed my temple and breathed deeply.“Massimo, don’t blame them. They have nothing to do with her disappearance. Just look at them.” I said and approached them calmly.“I swear, Capo. We don’t know where that girl took her. We were in the bar. Ella went to the restroom and Lucy’s girlfriend followed her. We had no idea that she was a spy who was with Lucy just to track Ella.” Rita cried and pointed her finger at a really heartbroken Lucy.She was dealing with heartbreak. She was betrayed by someone she truly loved and trusted so I had to talk to her v
[ Marcello ]The life seemed meaningless without her. I thought pushing her away from me will help me to clear my mind but I failed miserably. I still find it hard to accept that my brother and my fiancée had a past and he still harbours feelings for her.Does she also feel something for him?I don’t want to go down that lane. I love Ella and seeing her with another man makes my heart go restless. She left the estate with her family. I didn’t stop her because then it’d be impossible for me to keep my distance from her but my mind goes to her when I don’t have work.I haven’t talked to Massimo as well. I don’t know if our equation is changed or he is still my younger brother. He hides such an important truth from me.“Capo, Mr. Whitford is on the call. He says Billy is in Sicily. Why didn’t we see him?” Vincenzo’s voice broke the chain of my thoughts.I snapped my head in his direction. My senses got alert.“How can he be so sure?” I asked him.“Many informers confirmed it. We must be
[ Ella ]“Ella, let’s go for shopping. We know that you’re going to the city of fashion but we want us to hang out together before you leave or we don’t know when next we’ll get a chance to hang out, just three of us.” Rita said.After talking to Mama who encouraged me to keep faith in my love and prepare to leave for Paris because she doesn’t want me to give up on my dreams. Marcello wouldn’t want me to quit them either so the next morning, I woke up early and packed my stuffs.I decided to resume working in the café to fight the ache of heartbreak. I would go mad if I stay home any longer because with passing time, I am missing him more and more.“The café was closed for two days and now we have bulk of orders, flooding customers and no Enzo to manage the café with us. Sorry, girls but I don’t think we can leave the café today or we’ll be fired. Actually, you two because I am leaving tomorrow.” I answered her and put the fresh set of buns into the oven.“I don’t agree with Rita usua
[ Ella ]“Ella, my baby, please eat something. It’s been two days since you have touched a grain or left this room. I am worried about you. Life doesn’t go on like this.” My aunt rubbed my back.I was laying on my bed like a motionless vegetable for past two day, my tears have dried up. I didn’t expect Marcello to learn about my past in this way. In fact, I decided to tell him everything after our wedding and ask for his forgiveness. He didn’t try to stop me nor he said a word to me when I left his house with my family.Massimo Romano, you ruined my happiness. I didn’t hate you before but now, I surely do.“Ella, please... Mrs. Romano also called in the morning. She is worried about you. Why aren’t you telling me what exactly happened between you and Marcello. Did you two fight? Please, say something.“I want be alone, Aunt.” I said in a barely audible whisper. My strength had given up. I don’t want to live any longer.She sighed and gave me a helpless look.“I am putting the food her
[ Marcello ]“Why are you doing this, Ella? Can’t you see how much I love you?”Blood boiled in my veins. I felt betrayed by two people I loved the most. They were standing too close. She was wearing her bridal dress, she’s going to be my bride but she was in my brother’s arms. I could feel the pang in my heart. My vision became hazy. I didn’t want to believe on my eyes but they weren’t deceiving me but my bride and my brother.But must give the answer this time. I took long strands towards them and pulled Ella out of his embrace harshly. They were taken aback by the sudden interruption. Ella yelped but when she saw me, her eyes dilated in horror.My brother’s face was indifferent though.“What the hell is going on in here? Do not dare to lie or make an excuse because I have seen everything with my own eyes.” I dangerously whispered to them.“Marcello, I am telling you the truth. I haven’t done anything wrong. Please, trust me. I was asking him about you when you didn’t pick up my ca
[ Marcello ]“Why did you do it?” I asked quietly from the man tied in front of me.“I don’t know what you are talking about, Mr. Romano. You abducted me, forcefully keeping me here and you expect me to surrender and confess something I didn’t do.” Enzo Bianchi sneered, his eyes were red due to anger.I exhaled deeply and rose from my chair, I was treating him patiently but I was reaching to my limit.“Enzo, I do not want to hurt you. In fact, I will spare your life, today is the most important day of my life. I and Ella are getting married in a few hours. Ella and your family will be worried if you don’t join us soon. So, speak up. We won’t hurt you, I promise. Ella is too precious for me to lose and I don’t think I will harm her brother but you are leaving me with no choice.” I said and picked my gun.“You claim to love my sister but I think you are nothing but a vile and despicable man like other mafias. I wish my sister could see your true face.” Enzo spitted but it didn’t reach t
[ Ella ]“You’re getting married?” Uncle Rio frowned and looked at us.Marcello invited my family to the estate to break the news personally to them early in the morning. Except Enzo, uncle, aunt and my two cousins came.“Yes, Uncle. I am leaving for Paris in three days, it’ll be a long stay so I thought marrying Marcello is what I want. His name will give me protection if he has hidden enemies or your enemies there. I will no longer be an ordinary girl.” I said as Marcello taught me.It was necessary to lure my uncle since he can’t be trusted after he sneaked behind us to borrow money twice.“Honey, but why all of a sudden? You could do it earlier or give us some time to prepare for the wedding. After your parents, it’s our responsibility to act like your guardian.” Aunt said.“Don’t worry about the preparations, Mrs. Bianchi. We’re taking care of everything. Moreover, it’ll be a private ceremony. Only our families and Ella’s friends. It’s not in our favour to throw a big wedding in
