HIS INNOCENT ADDICTION 32. Emiliana
It's been a long day. There's this one girl in class that keeps giving me dirty looks when I don't even know who she is. Every time I looked up, her eyes were on me. I don't think I've seen her before but I barely know anyone so I can't be sure. Only Constanza follows me to class now but people seem to keep their distance from me. Not one person has approached me to say his or just talk and I'm fine with that. Being the daughter of a mafia boss taught me it's highly unlikely I would ever find a genuine friend. Being the wife? It's impossible. Anyone who approaches me will have to be vetted by my bodyguards then they'll do a background check to make sure the person doesn't have a motive for trying to befriend me. If they're civilians, it's worse because if they accidentally find out what my husband or father does, they'll have to be killed. I'm pretty sure no one wants to die because they befriended that one girl in class who wears expensive clothes and has bodygua

I open my eyes, the sound of loud music registering. Shaking my head, I sit up. My brain trying to catch up. What the fuck happened? Emiliana ordered water for me and I don't remember drinking it because it never arrived. Emiliana. I snap my eyes around even though I know she's not there. Elena is lying on the couch while the other three sit with their heads on the back of the couch. If anyone were to come here, they'd think we are drunk off our asses. Except no drinks are on the table. Just a few bottles of water. Taking my phone out, I call Marcelo. I co-own this club with him but I'm a silent partner. Had to be so Romeo wouldn't know how much money and power I had. "Where are you?" "At the club, sir. Ivano said you're here?" "I need the security feed starting from ten minutes ago. Send it to my phone and hurry" "Yes sir" Running a hand through my hair, I wonder where the waitress went. Why wasn't she here when we all passed out? She was still taking orders from the twins an

Andrei? He's terrifying. When he walked in, I tightened my legs around Dante so he wouldn't leave me. There's a naughty glint in his eyes and I'm afraid that he'll leave me alone to deal with this mountain of a man. He's an inch taller than Dante with really broad shoulders and long, black hair that's held up in a half updo. Both his ears are spotting diamond earrings, his mouth set in a grim line and the look in his eyes blank. I can't read him. He's wearing black slacks and a white shirt that's folded at the arms to reveal tattoos. And boy is he inked up. The two buttons he's left open at his throat showcase more ink. I wouldn't be surprised if his dick is also tattooed. Without thinking, I pull Dante's head closer while keeping an eye on the man and quietly ask, "Do you think his dick is also tattooed?" "I don't know, Emiliana. Why don't we ask him?" Dante says loud enough for him to hear. I snap my head toward him, my eyes widening in shock. I cannot believe I just asked him th

"Fuck, Emiliana, relax," I tell her gripping her waist. I'm only halfway in and I'll lose control if she continues clenching around me the way she is. This cannot end the same way it did last time. But fuck do I love the way she feels around me. Wet, hot and so fucking tight. I didn't forget the condom. I just wanted to go bare this once. Despite being on birth control, I'm still going to pull out. Neither of us is ready for an accident. And now the thought of filling her with my cum is the only thing I can think about. She wiggles her ass saying,"You're not as big as you were last time. Or was it because it was my first time?" God, I adore this woman. Leaning over her, I kiss her shoulder and bring my mouth to her ear "That's because I'm only halfway in, innocente" "Wait, that's half..." I thrust forward, burying my cock deep inside her. She pulses around me as she comes. It takes a lot of control for me to hold back and not come along with her. The death gr

"You're leaving me?" I ask leaning on my elbow and away from him. He holds the back of my head and shoves it back on his chest. His other hand caresses my ass. "I'm going on a business trip. It'll only be for three days. I'm not leaving you" "That's the same thing, Dante. What am I going to do without you?" I know I sound dramatic but I've come to rely on him. He's always there anytime I need anything. Since we got married, we haven't been separated. I'm not sure what I'll do when he's not around "Take me with you. I don't want to be left behind" "You still have classes" "Constanza can take notes for me" "No" "Then don't go. You're the boss, Dante. People come to you. Not the other way around" "I'll be back before you even realize it" A lie. He didn't come back. Instead, he called the next day to tell me that he was going to have to extend the trip because something came up. I couldn't stay in the apartment by myself so I went to the mansion. Sal is always there so I did

"What did he say?" "I told him I was crying because I missed him" he didn't believe it right away and I had to assure him that nothing was wrong. I was only calling from Valerio's phone because mine died and I didn't know his number. When he still didn't buy that, I lied and told him that I was a little drunk. He told me to go to sleep and charge my phone so he could call me in the morning. Elena rolls her eyes "You're an idiot. Why didn't you tell him you almost died?" "I couldn't. Both Sal and Valerio insisted that this trip was important. I'm not that selfish" "You don't owe them anything. You know how Dante is. He's going to lose his shit when he finds out about it" I've thought about that since I left the hospital. He won't find out if no one speaks about it. I'm not trying to drive a wedge between him and his mother. If anything, I'd like to stay away from Gisella and let them fix their relationship at their own pace. Since I'm fine, I don't see the need to make a big d

Shit. My first thought is that not everyone downstairs is from the mafioso. There are regular people who might think it would be a good idea to call the police. My father has some connections but I don't think he could get me out of a murder charge. Who the fuck is this guy anyway? Why did he think it would be a good idea to attack me? My hand comes up to my neck, rubbing at the bruises I know have already started showing. He fucking deserved it. He attacked me first and I was only defending myself. I won't feel sorry for killing him. Now I just have to find a way to get rid of the body. (Tell me if you need anything, ma'am) Javier. He'll know what to do. Taking the keys from the lock, I leave and lock the door so no one else would stumble in there and find the body. Then I casually walk downstairs. Trying to pretend that I didn't just kill a man a few minutes ago. Most of the party is happening in the backyard at the pool but a few people are still inside.

I tap my finger on my thigh, the only outward sign of the feelings raging inside me. I'm livid and ready to unleash my monster. That dumb fuck Killian heard I'd decided to go with Andrei because his offer was better and called a meeting. Wanting to know how much the Russians had offered and if he could outbid them. Of course, they hadn't offered more. I'd told Andrei I would sell him my products if he let that incident with Emiliana go. Someone had framed her and only wanted to get her in trouble. Andrei agreed and then went to brag about it. Word reached Killian and he demanded a meeting. Which I had to attend because I'm not looking to make the Irish my enemies. Things were going well. We came to an agreement to split the product this time and I would source more next time. Enough for both of them. We were on the verge of forming an alliance when fucking Alessandro showed up. Things went to shit. The fucking bastard came in guns blazing, accusing me of backing out of our deal. Accor

"I'm the fucking boss. My word is the law now. If I decide to cancel these Sunday dinners, who has the guts to stop me?" Eugenio and Sergio glance at each other and then burst out laughing. Fuckers. They work for me now and I sign their checks but they have the nerve to laugh in my face. We'll see how much longer they'll continue doing that. Especially after I deduct their payment for being insolent little shits "While you're busy laughing, just remember that I'm the one in charge of your bank accounts" "No offense, boss but this isn't something you can decide on your own" "Why the fuck not? I hate attending these things" they're just an excuse for the elders to rip into me. They'll find the smallest faults and pretend that if they were in my position, they could have done better. Truth is, they don't know shit. They don't know what it's like to make a decision that could impact thousands of lives. When papa was still alive, I used to admire how he ran everything. He made it seem s

"WHERE IS HE? Dante, you fucking bastard. Show your face" "She looks mad. What did you do?" Sal asks watching the feed from over my shoulder. "Fuck if I know" Javier sent me a message telling me she'd left the house looking like a mad woman. I had every intention of cutting off his fingers later when I arrived home but now that I'm looking at Emiliana, I have no choice but to agree with him. She definitely looks like a mad woman. Her hair is sticking out in different directions and... She's still in her pajamas. Did she come to The Cloud in her sleepwear? Fuck. I look at Sal to see if he feels the sense of foreboding slowly filling the room. I swear it's almost tangible. What the fuck did I do? I'm sure I put down the toilet seat and I made her breakfast before I left. Did she not like it? "She's coming up. I'm going to leave you guys alone so you can talk it out" he says heading to the door with a smirk "Emiliana, looking lovely as..." "Go back inside" the steely command has Sa

All eyes turn on me as I enter the abandoned warehouse. It reminds me of the one I went to on the day before I got married. Dirty floor, broken windows, and a thick musty smell. I count seven guys in total sitting or leaning around a rectangular table. Not many. I can handle them. A gun is faster than... Wait, where's my gun? I carried it, didn't I? Fuck, fuck, Dante's going to kill me for coming here without a weapon. That is if these guys don't do it first. Shit, what was I thinking? How could I... My internal dialogue is cut short as I trip over my feet and I'm launched forward, my arms flailing in all directions trying to find something to hold on to. Of course, there's nothing. I'm in an open space and I go down, face-planting the floor in front of men I'm supposed to threaten. Way to go, EmilianaAnd ew. Did my mouth connect with the floor? Huffing in annoyance, I get up, brushing the dirt off my hands, face, and jeans. All this while no one says a thing. I expected them to lau

"What if she changes her mind and doesn't come?" Before I can reply, Soraya reaches out and smacks Sal then goes back to fussing with my suit "Don't jinx my daughter-in-law. She's very excited to get married" "But they're already married" "Find him a wife. Someone who will help him settle down" By that, she means someone who will keep him in line. I know that because I can see the twinkle in her eyes. Like Emiliana, she's easy to read. All I have to do is take one look at her and I'll know what she's thinking. I'm not nervous. Actually, I'm confident that Emiliana wouldn't even think of not showing up. She's looking forward to our two-month-long honeymoon. Spending that time with just her sounds like a dream. I'm probably more excited than her. I take Soraya's hands to stop her from fidgeting "It's fine. Everything will be fine" "I... I'll go see if..." A split second. That's all I have. From the corner of my eye, I see movement, someone raising a hand. I manage to push Sora

"Tell me who this Lia is and I'll let you walk me down the aisle" Angelo scoffs "What other option do you have?" "Mama can do it. Or the twins" "Your husband will murder them before they even touch you" he's right. Dante will kill them and I'm trying to have a wedding without dead bodies anywhere near the church. So it's either him or Mama. I love her, I do but I'd rather Angelo do it. "Do I know her? What's with all this secrecy" "It's not a secret. Mama and papa wanted more children. After you, they tried to have more but it just wasn't working out. She came to live with us way before the twins arrived. I can't believe you don't remember her" "So I've met her?" "She was obsessed with you and called you pretty girl. I hated how she ignored me and treated me as if I was invisible so I followed her everywhere. Since she was older, she took over the big sister role and kept us in line. Especially after the twins arrived. But you were too young to remember. She lived with us

"Can you tell me what happened during the time you were locked up? Rico and Valerio have hinted at some things but they wouldn't explain anything" I won't either. She's too pure to be tainted by that shit. Some of it is buried in the deepest, darkest part of my mind. Never to see the light of day again. No one will ever find out. But I know what it means to tell her these things. It's a sign of trust. She needs to know that I love and trust her enough to open up. So I tell her bits and pieces. Things that might be dark to her but are only the tip of the iceberg for me. "I mostly remember living in the dark. He blocked all the windows and would only turn the lights on when he came down. He'd torture and kill someone in front of me then leave them there for days. The first time was the hardest. I was so scared and freaked out about staying in the same room with a dead body. The darkness made it creepier. I'd imagine the guy getting up and trying to kill me for not helping him. It was

He walks towards me, undoing the cufflinks on his wrists. Letting them drop to the floor with a thin clanging sound, he shrugs off his coat and untucks his shirt. His fingers move with precise movements as he starts unbuttoning it. My heart beats faster as I stand beside the elevator, frozen, the anticipation of what is going to happen next rooting me in place. Didn't he just kick me out a few minutes ago? He said he was fine without me and that hurt. Because I'll never be fine without him. We both made mistakes. He shouldn't have let himself be photographed with her and I should have told him where I was. I shouldn't have let Mama hide me from him. When we left through a secret airstrip, I knew what she was doing and I let her do it because I knew she was hurting. If keeping me from Dante alleviated her pain, it was a small sacrifice to pay. He knew that, and understood I needed to do it but still had the nerve to be angry. If the tables were turned and I was the one seen around wit

She looks stunned but I don't know whether it's from finding out Luisa is my therapist or that I was so fucked up I needed one. It hadn't been easy accepting her help. I was against the idea because of some misconceptions I had about masculinity. That sitting down and telling someone how I was struggling made me look weak. While I don't care about what people think of me, I was raised to be a leader and leaders handled their own shit. They didn't find some quack, especially a woman, and expect them to help them sort through their feelings. The idea of even bumping into one on the street was repulsive. But Luisa was sneaky. She didn't approach me as a doctor but as the daughter of Dr. Mendes. I was surprised he had a family and I thought maybe he was training her to take over from him. I let my guard down, talked to her, and all too soon, I'd told her things I'd never told anyone. She asked me to take her to dinner and consider it her payment. That way, things wouldn't be too formal b

Soraya is Dante's mother. I'm still processing that. This explains why Gisella never cared about him. I thought it was odd how she never made an effort to support him and the reason was that she wasn't his mother. I talked to Soraya some more and she explained that she hadn't known Romeo had him or else she would have done everything in her power to save him. It's her greatest regret. I asked her about the woman Dante is dating and her reply was, "I can't tell you about their relationship. It's not my place to do that. But I can assure you, they're not together that way. My son adores you. He would never look at another woman" Contradicting much? He would never look at another woman but he would let himself be seen and photographed with her. Why do that if she didn't mean anything to him? I've tried to figure out what their supposed relationship is but for the life of me, I can't. Why wouldn't Soraya just tell me the truth once and for all? I asked Elena what she thought. Her reply
