[ Arielle ]The drive from Vincent’s parents’ house back to the estate was filled with excruciating silence which was unbearable for me because I was unable to read his mind, whether he was angry or he’s unbothered. My confusion increased when I saw the car taking a wrong turn, it wasn’t the route to the estate.“Where are we going, Vincent?” I asked looking out of the window.“Did you forget that we’re going to buy you a gown for the party. I am taking you to a new boutique by a French designer. I hope you’ll find something according to your taste. I have seen how you don’t feel comfortable in the gowns picked by the designers here for you according to the theme of the parties. Feel free to choose anything you wish.” He said to me and I slapped my forehead.“Sorry, it totally slipped out of my mind. I thought you were making an excuse to leave from there.” I said in a spur and bit my inner mouth when I realized how I over stepped.“Don’t need to feel sorry, I actually wanted to run f
[ Arielle ]Finally, the day had arrived when we’d fly for London. I had been fretting to talk with Vincent about Emily. As I expected, he ordered her to pack her bags as she’ll be joining me. It was the perfect opportunity for me to have a word with my husband about her.We were on our way to the airstrip from where we’ll fly in his private plane to avoid unnecessary attention of his enemies who are all around the world. Emily was in other car with our bodyguards.“Vincent, do you remember, I wanted to talk about a matter with you when we went to have dinner with your parents.” I gathered up courage to initiate the conversation.“Yes, I do remember. I was waiting for you to raise the topic. You can tell me what is going in your mind, Ari.” He gave me a nod of approval and I found some courage.“Emily is missing her family. When I told her to contact them, she revealed that your family signs non-disclosure agreement with them which states they won’t be able to meet or contact them eve
[ Arielle ]He pinned me down on the soft single bed, his warm breath was falling on my face which filled my body with the same want that I grew for him over the time. He traced my face with the tip of his fingers and my own breathing became shallow.“Are you okay if we move on further step, Ari?” He looked into my eyes for permission and it melted my heart once again, he’s a true gentleman even though he claims to have me on his own terms.“Yes.” I could barely give my consent in a mere whisper.“Good, I am going to give you the experience of having sex on a plane, Principessa..” He smirked and buried his face in my exposed cleavage while his hands worked on my jeans’ buttons. I threw my head back because I felt urgency in his kisses, he wasn’t in a mood for foreplay.“Hmm, please…” I moaned in need when his hand went inside my panties and stroked my wet pussy while his other hand kneaded my breasts.“You can scream my name as much as you want, mi amore. They should hear how I please
[ Vincent ]I smiled looking at the sleeping figure of my wife who was tired yet the contended look on her face made my heart flutter, she makes me feel those feelings once again. My fears are holding me back but I know I want to give her all the happiness I always wished to give to the woman I love.Do I love her?Maybe, yes.This feeling is too strong to be labelled as lust or infatuation. I covered her properly and walked out of the cabin to join my men. The plane will land in London in next twenty minutes.“Miss Emily, please go and wake up my wife as we’re about to land.” I asked Emily to wake her up because I had no heart to disturb her beauty sleep.“Yes, Capo.” She bowed and went into the cabin while I went to sit with Giovanni who handed me his tablet.“Capo, this is the report I analysed. The statics say that the security is unbreachable. Faolan Walsh or any other person who is listed as an enemy of the English mafia or an enemy of their allies, they can’t track the event ve
[ Arielle ]I never imagined enjoying winter this much before. I used to lock myself in my room as I wasn’t allowed to leave in busy festival season and my security was a headache for my father. London streets, people still going out in chilly weather and those iconic buildings, I didn’t miss anything.The hotel suite that Vincent booked for our stay, gave a picturesque view of the Thames River. The party is in the evening so I got the time to rest and enjoy the views from the hotel. Vincent busied himself with his men. I noticed his changed attitude from the airport where he received a call from Marcello. I asked him what was wrong but he assured me that it was nothing to worry about.“Ma’am, your dress is ready, I have assembled your heels, purse and accessories so you won’t face any inconvenience in the evening.” Emily, who stepped into the balcony, told me and I turned to look at her.Her face had a gleam mixed with sadness. She was in her hometown, where she was born and raised.
[ Vincent ]I hated to lie to the angel who trusts me blindly but I can’t see her worried if I tell her that my most dangerous enemy has reached here and he’d be successful in his plans. I won’t give him the satisfaction of getting into my mind and alert my senses.Currently, we were on our way to Edward’s residence where the party is organized, I was out throughout the day to check all the possible spots where danger could happen. I also had a brief meeting with Edward who assured me that he’d come to Sicily to discuss business later because our prime focus should be on Faolan because if he’s in London, he’s a bigger threat for Edward as well.“Will there be many people like Bianchi’s gala?” She asked me.She was a little nervous from inside. So, I laced our hands.“Don’t worry, Ari. I will be there with you. Yes, there will be a lot of guests but English parties are classic and they don’t believe in boasting of wealth so the event will be mostly private.” I assured her and I could s
[ Arielle ]When I tried to open my eyes, I felt a sharp headache and I felt like someone had hit me with a hammer, I tried to move my hands but I couldn’t. Why was I smelling some old rust around me? Slowly, I tried to open my eyes and an old wall with peeled plaster and when I looked at myself, I panicked.My hands were tied on the chair arms. I was in an alien place. Panic gripped me, something was definitely wrong.“Vincent!” I shouted and tried to free myself but there was no use. Tears brimmed into my eyes.“Vincent! Giovanni! Please, somebody help!” I cried for help but I bet nobody heard me.Last time I recall, I was with Emily in a vacant room, she called me to tell me something important and after that I don’t remember anything.“Help me!” I cried more and prayed the God to save me. I was abducted and only God knows if someone will come to save me or I die in any moment.“Vincent, where are you?” I cried in whisper and remembered how he warned me not to trust anyone and take
[ Arielle ]I blinked my eyes and tried to process what this lunatic said.“Bullshit! I can’t believe a crazy man who killed his own sister and now claiming that my husband had done something wrong with him.” I yelled at his face as anger fuelled me.He pinched his nose and then he slapped me hard against my right cheek, it stung badly but I didn’t give any reaction.“How dare you bitch! How can you defend a monster like Vincent De Niro when you don’t know anything about him?” He yelled at me like he was about to kill me for proving him wrong.“I do not believe you. I know his flaws, he is a mafia man, he kills people, everyone does in our world. My own father killed multiple people. So, stop poisoning my mind about Vincent. Even if he was a monster in his past, you’re a bigger one.” I matched his pitch.“Did he tell you what he had done in 2016?” He asked me.I remained silent. Honestly, I know anything about him except what kind of a person he is.“I guess, you don’t know what kind
[ Arielle ]“Hey, baby?” I stroked my still flat tummy with a sad smile, “I know you can listen to me now because Mumma can feel you moving. You are four months old inside Mumma.” I talked to my unborn baby. It is the only good thing in my barren life in this prison. I spend everyday either remembering and crying for Vincent to come and save me or talking to my baby.I rested my head on the wall and stared at the dull, gloomy sky. Father didn’t allow me to even go for a checkup, he arranged the doctors to examine me at home and now, it feels like I have to spend my rest of life here. He has threatened me with the life of my unborn.I have learnt one thing from Vincent; wait for the right time to take an action because impulsiveness pushes us deeper into our doom. I can’t risk my baby’s life until Vincent reaches to us. I read the agreement, according to the agreement, Vincent may lose his rights over me and our marriage will be annulled because father has enough proofs to prove that V
[ Vincent ]My heart was leaping as the car moved on the snow-covered streets of Wellington. Marcello received exact location of Faolan from Anton and this time I was with double men power that I’d be needing to deal with the devil of my life.“How much more time, Marcello? We’re roaming around the city for last an hour.” I was losing my patience, each second was having a toll over me.“We’re almost there. Actually, he rented an apartment near a school building, he’s a smart rat. He knows that we won’t do violence at such place in a foreign country. We have to keep our men on standby.” He said and I rubbed my temples to keep myself controlled.“Alright, I’ll go by the book.” I said but inwardly, I am visualizing every possible way to torture him before I send him to the hell.I was feeling a mix of emotions, I’ll see my wife after many days and only I know how I survived. I won’t allow her to disappear from my sight again.He stopped the car behind a residential apartment building of
[ Vincent ] “Capo, it won’t work like this. You have to eat and take care of yourself if you don’t want to go off track and allow your enemies to take an upper hand on you. The news of Signora’s abduction spread like a wild fire. This isn’t a good news. They are raising fingers on your capability to run the De Niro syndicate. I can’t see this.” Marcello said but I kept staring at the painting that she painted on the vineyard. I hung it on the wall in my office so it could remind me to keep calm and focus instead of losing my patience and temper.“I want to be alone, Marcello. Please, leave.” I said without looking at him and gulped more whiskey from the bottle. He snatched it out of my hand and threw it in the trash bin.“Enough, Capo. I can’t let you destroy yourself. You need to stay strong for Signora. She’s safe and alive. Faolan is waiting for you to make a move so you’ll be ridiculed in front of the world.” He said and cleaned the mess I created on the floor.My head felt dizz
[ Arielle ]A week has passed, I locked myself in the closed confinement of my room, I didn’t want to face anyone or talk with anyone except Alexander who comes to check upon me during the night. Even with him, I exchange minimal words. I can’t sleep at nights, mostly cry remembering those moments I spent at the estate as Vincent’s wife and miss my husband.I have nothing to hold as a reminder of him except my wedding ring and my baby. Those grey eyes, deep and low voice, sometimes giving me jitters and sometimes scaring me.I never thought I will fall in love like this. I couldn’t escape either because my baby’s life is at stake and I don’t want any harm to my baby. Praying the God is my only hope.I was staring out of my room’s window at the snow white scenery outside, the winter felt gloomy. I heard the door creaking open but I didn’t bother to look at the intruder, it could be either my mother or Alexander because no third person is allowed near me.“Arielle, I hope you are comfor
[ Arielle ]I groaned and tried to open my eyes as my head felt heavy. The softness beneath me made me wonder if I was already in heaven. I tried to blink my eyes and familiar walls appeared in front of my eyes.It was my room, same walls, same windows and same bed.Am I dreaming?I tried to sat straight and looked around carefully. Yes, it was my room but how did I end up here? I had different clothes on my body and my bruises and wounds were bandaged. I threw the blankets aside and stepped down from the bed. I winced as pain shot through my numb legs, I cried and searched for any form of communication but there was none.I remembered gunshots and Faolan running out of the room. Some men with masks on their faces rushed into the room and released me. I tried to run but they caught me and during the resistance, I hit my head on the broken glass on the floor. I passed out and didn’t remember anything after that.The room door opened, I snapped my head toward the visitor.“Mom?” I excla
[ Vincent ]Hours passed, the day rolled on but we only reached to dead ends. My impatience was growing with passing minutes. A minute felt like a century to me. Arielle must be frightened. I don’t know if she was fed or left abandoned in a dungeon.“Capo, I think you should see this.” Giovanni ran towards me with his laptop and placed it in front of me, “We managed to fetch this footage from a gas station, a black, old car stopped there for refuelling. The car has black film on window glasses but if you focus carefully, you can see a blur image. Do you see Faolan on driver’s seat?” He said and I grabbed the laptop for a closer look, my heartbeats increased.“Yes, yes. This is him!” I slammed my fist on the table. A hope flickered in me, “Trace this car in every camera on this road and see where it went. This is him and we know where to find him now.” I said and already ran out of Edward’s house.“Capo, I am driving the car. You haven’t blinked your eyes even for a second, you need re
[ Vincent ]“I don’t give a fuck how you do it. I want that motherfucker’s location right now!” I yelled and grabbed the collar of the tech expert who was trying to trace Arielle. I had installed a GPS tracker in her necklace that I gifted her. It was untraceable by other sources except for my server.The terrified man was shaking.“I am sorry, Capo. I have been trying my best to trace Mrs. De Niro but her last location is showing near the river Thames. Either the necklace was removed from her or they’re using the latest, unused technology to block other servers from tracing their exact location but I can assure you that they haven’t left London. I have access to all the cameras in exit points of the city. They’ll be a fool to use public transport.” The boy stammered as he explained me his failed attempt to find my wife.I punched the wall. Anger and the soreness of defeat poisoned me. Faolan swept my wife under my nose, I couldn’t stop him which showed what kind of a looser I am. I
