“Why can't I go in? What is in there?” Amira asked Kira curiously, her eyes still on the door.
“I am not in the right place to tell you, it's something that I can't mention except I want to put myself in trouble.” Now Amira curiousity grew, telling her to stay off and learning it's just a secret made her want to know more. But what was her business? All she wanted was to run away, where none of them would contact nor see her again, then she'll start afresh. But seeing how Andrea was, made it realized it's going to be difficult for her. He hadn't informed her why he had married and locked her in, and she was the type who hates secret which concerns her. She heaved a sigh, drawing her attention from the room to her escape plans and said “okay, since you offered, I would like to go back to my room.” Kira nodded swiftly, and followed her seeing if she could learn her way back to her room. Soon Brenda Ran towards them, gave Amira a respectful bow which made her uncomfortable, and said. “Mrs Martini, please come with me. Mr Martini wants to see you. He Instructed that you follow me this instant please let it be a yes.” Without reply, Amira followed Brenda, who led her to Andrea's bedroom. She knocked softly, and his voice was heard ushering them to come in. Andrea was found sitting elegantly on his couch beside the huge window, the sun casting his rays on him, reflecting his shadows, accentuating his features making him hotter. Amira stood still admiring him a bit realising she had never had a close capture of him. Andrea, feeling she stares at him, stood up with a smirk on his face, walking slowly at her, while Amira pulled back a bit. Brenda didn't know if this was the right time to stay or leave. “Please stay where you are, don't come closer.” Amira forced herself to say, feeling nervous but Andrea, stubborn as ever, stood in front of her, taking her small slender hands into his. “Why shouldn't I come closer to my wife?” He whispered, caressing her hand gently, which sent chills into Amira. Amira was confused at his behaviour, he was acting all cold and Intimidating earlier, and now he had a softer look on his face, with a smirk which attracted and at same time irritated her. She tried withdrawing her hands from his, but he grabbed it harder, rubbing his fingers against hers and then a frown appeared on his face. “Where is your wedding ring? Why is it not on your finger?” He asked in a firm tone, but his face remained composed. Amira, constructing some words in her head, forced herself to say “I…I took it off before taking my bath, I forgot to put it on.” Andrea shook his head, taking her fingers towards his mouth, placing soft kisses on it, while his eyes were still on hers. Andrea turned to Brenda whose eyes were on the floor, avoiding to look at them. In that position “Go to bedroom and get the ring for me now!” Amira parted lips looking at Brenda leaving them alone, and then back at Andrea, glaring at him. “Why does she need to bring it? Do I need to keep wearing the ring?” She half yelled. “As long as I am your husband, you wear that ring, as I wear mine. Never take it off.” He replied coldly, his breath fanning her neck. He held her chin, pinching it softly, while scanning her face. “You're beautiful you know that Amira. You're mine and forever mine.” Andrea mumbled, wearing a smug smile on his face. “I will never be yours Andrea, I'm still young and never wanted to be your wife.” Amira replied, but instead of receiving a frown from him, he laughed instead, revealing his cheek dimple which she barely noticed on his face. She wondered what was funny, as he laughed in an attractive way. She has never seen or heard any man laugh in that manner, not even her father. “I love it when you struggle with me. It's cute but empty, as long as I am alive or after my lifetime, you're forever mine Amira, take note of that.” Amira rolled her eyes in response, muttering curses at him in her head. Then the door opened, revealing Brenda, who was panting heavily. “Master, I couldn't find the ring. I have searched everything for it.” Brenda commented, her heart racing on behalf of Amira. Amira who heard that, had a smirk on her face, while Andrea's face remained stoic. “Where is your ring? What did you do?” He whispered, at the volume that both of them could hear. Amira feeling, like part of her plans of annoying and irritating him, was working and replied proudly. “I flushed it down the toilet.” Brenda became scared on Amira’s behalf, excused herself and left the room. Amira suddenly thought about what she just said, she felt her heart raced faster anticipating his next reaction. But instead he let go off her hand, walked through another door. At this point Amira became scared. “What have I done?” She whispered, rubbing her hands, trying to cool herself down, she felt her own body shaking. “Would he hit me?” She wondered, trying to control herself. Then Andrea came out with a straight face, holding a small box. As he approached her, Amira took steps back, fear written all over her face and Andrea noticed this and held her hand. “Please let go, I'm sorry I shouldn't have.” She whispered, closing her eyes, anticipating what he would do next but she heard he scoffed instead. “Stop being dramatic and open your eyes.” Andrea said calmly. Amira opened her eyes in response, to her surprise, he opened the black box in his hands and brought out another diamond ring. Swiftly, he wore it on her finger, which was exactly her size. Took a tiny needle from it, glanced at Amira seeing the fear on her face made him satisfied for no reason. He pierced his finger with it, and then grabbed Amira's, who was trying to drag her hand away from his, and pierced hers. After that, he rubbed her fingers with his, and rubbed the ring with their blood mixed together. “I had to do this, since you threw the first one away. And mind you, if you do this again I'll make sure I do this over and over again until I find a glue and stick the ring on your finger.” After that he took her finger which he had pierced, still bleeding and place it in his mouth, giving it a lick. This action made Amira irritated, why was he doing that? That wasn't normal at all. “Please stop that.” She whispered, dragging her hand away from his, furrowing her brows in annoyance while watching the smirk that formed on his face. They remained that way, staring at each other for a long time, marking each perfection, each flaws on their faces, and Amira couldn't help but felt a strange sensation in her stomach, not wanting to have it. Andrea obviously, was an incredibly attractive man, but that won't give her more reason to stay in this marriage as his wife. “Can I go now?” Amira made herself asked, feeling she had over stayed her forceful welcome. “Yeah.” He replied, directing her to the door, and Amira was glad enough to leave quickly until he does another thing to make her stay. As she stepped herself, she found Brenda waiting for her. Then Instantly she pulls her closer whispering with full command. “I want you to get me out of here. I can't fucking stay here.” She whispered. “But i..I can't do that, I'll be in so much trouble if you do.” Brenda stuttered feeling both confused and scared. “You won't get in trouble trust me. Please just help me, tonight.” Amira pleaded, her eyes filled with tears and that convinced Brenda enough that she never wanted to be here at first. Brenda took a deep breath, to calm her shaky breath, she nodded with a small smile on her face. With that Amira hugged her, tightly as her gesture of being grateful. Later that evening, Amira felt relieved that Andrea had not bothered her. She stared at her finger, seeing the wedding ring on it, covered with their dry blood. She scoffed angrily, reminiscing of how predictable and a psycho Andrea was. She was changed into a comfy shirt and pants, tied up her hair in high ponytail, As she began her mission. At first she opened her bedrooms door, staring to see if anyone was coming, and suddenly felt relieved as she sighted Brenda. “The coarse is clear, Mr Martini hasn't been here since morning. It's the perfect time to leave mistress.” Brenda whispered softly. Amira smiled at her words, ‘he wasn't home?, great!’ “Then let's go, I don't have time.” With that, Brenda led the way, after marking every spot in the mansion which was hardly ever used,but deep within her she knew this was a sacrifice, which her life might be affected. But although she had came up with a lie, to tell Andrea, whenever he asks for her. Amira couldn't contain her joy, she was going to be free once and for all. After that, they got to the back gate of the mansion, and Brenda stood there looking around in fear. “I can't follow you, this is my final step. The gate is locked, but there's a small entrance that isn't locked. It will lead you to a tunnel, and when you passed through the tunnel, you'd come out in the heart of the city.” Brenda mumbled softly, with great concern for Amira. This was one risky thing to do, expectially when she had a husband who wants to keep her in at all cost. “Thank you so much Brenda, this means a lot to me.” Amira replied giving her a small hug before entering the tunnel. And Brenda after watching her leave, heaved a sigh of relief and went back to the mansion. Amira continues crawling in the tunnel, which gets darker the more she goes in. She got to a point that she had regrets taking this path, but she couldn't stop. This was her freedom, her salvation. She must escape at all cost even though it put her life at risk. She continued the little journey in the tunnel, which took her 30 minutes before she could see the lights from the end. “Finally.” She sighed tiredly, feeling exhausted, and her body covered in dirt and dust. As she got out, she found some men standing there like they were waiting for her, wearing black outfits. Amira was confused at first, until she saw that one person she was running away from. “Congratulations my love, your plan almost went successfully.” Andrea clapped with amusement written all over his face.Amira stood still, her heart pounding in her chest. Her mouth hung open, caught in a moment of silence, unsure of how to respond. Her eyes filled with tears as she realized the one person she had been trying to escape was already at her destination. Andrea stood tall, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips. “Do you really believe I won’t recognize you, my love?” He carried on, then fell into a quiet laughter that only deepened her tears, though no sound escaped her lips. Amira felt that this effort was in vain. And she couldn’t fathom what he would do to her. He reached out to her, hoping she would take his hand, but Amira, ever stubborn and sensitive, turned away from his gesture, and in that moment, her escape began. She fled from them with every ounce of strength she had, her yearning for freedom consuming her from within. Andrea’s pupil dilated the moment he saw her fleeing, and without a word, his men took off after her. Andrea watched her run with a mix of desperation and
Andrea has been motivated by a sense of competition ever since he discovered of Amira's desire to escape for the third time. Everyone assumed he would be angry if she escaped, but it was one of the reasons he wanted to keep her. He didn't care if she accepted or loved him; he doesn't do love. But there was something about Amira that made Andrea want to hold her close. All he wants is to force his powers on her, to make her feel subjugated, to make her feel like she has no one but him, to make her come to him whenever she needs something, but her obstinate nature would not allow it. "I'm not sure, Mr Martini, but why don't you take Claudia She is more mature and older than her." Andrea could recollect Mr Banks telling him something in his office. "You told me you had two daughters, that I am free to pick anyone among the two right?" "Yes you're right boss." Mr. Banks replied. "Who is the first among your daughters?" Andrea questioned, holding his arm under his chin and looki
“Who are you?” Amira murmured, her throat aching from the weight of her stress. “You again? Just why are you popping up all over the place? Why are you even in my room?" As Amira clenched the duvet in an effort to contain her scream, she asked. Her legs had been hurting for a while, and the pain in her eyes from crying made it worse. "Sorry, I did not mean to scare you. I'm Reagan.” With a cute smile on his face, the guard answered. Amira raised her brows at him, puzzled by his presence in her room so early in the morning. Was he observing her as she slept? Did he see her cry? "What brings you to my room? Your name is irrelevant to me." Amira rolled her eyes, wiping her tears underneath her eyes. With his jaw dropped, Reagan gazed at the stunning woman before him. He had encountered her on multiple occasions and was perplexed by how to respond to her without escalating the situation. "I am one of the workers. I’m here to keep an eye on you, just in case you think about m
Amira stood completely still where she was. She glanced over at Brenda, curious about what she had shared with him. According to Andrea's instructions, Brenda placed the tray on the bed. “I'll take my leave.” She made a respectful remark and then left, leaving both couples alone. In spite of Andrea's eyes being fixed on her, Amira steadfastly refused to move from her position, her gaze penetrating the food instead. She felt uneasy all of a sudden, and she was so angry that she could not understand why her rapist of a husband was in her room. “Get out.” Amira muttered silently, not taking her gaze away from the food. Her eyes were beginning to warm up as she prepared herself for the tears that were about to come, but she was determined to avoid giving Andrea the impression that she was weak. "No, love." Andrea responded, a smirk on his face. He was aware of her stubbornness, but he was eager to keep playing the game. "Is it illegal for you to leave me alone? What exactly do
“Did you just call my wife a whore?” That question echoed in their minds. Their expressions of shock and astonishment were so intense in response to that question. They had been continuously making fun of their master's wife. Amira suppressed her pride so Andrea would not notice it. She is careful not to give the impression that she was pleased by his appearance . “Can't you speak?” His eyebrows furrowed as he inquired. “She…I had no idea she was thought..” She stuttered a lot, and Amira noticed a different side of Andrea that sent chills down her spine. Was he really that cold when he got angry? Before long, Brenda and Kate walked in, looking pretty scared. It was unexpected to see Amira in the kitchen, which caught them off guard. "We apologize, boss, but we didn't.." Kate brought it up, but Andrea shot her a glare. “Take Amira to her room, right now!” he said, and out of fear, Brenda held a confused Amira there. Amira could not help but feel more curious about what h
Ever since Andrea found out about Amira's scar, he had been going to her room, fully aware of how he had hurt her. It was not surprising to see how she reacted; after all, he was not really the kind of guy who craved love. The kind of person who had placed a greater emphasis on being feared than on being loved was the kind of person he was. Her words to leave her room flooded his mind, and he was suddenly filled with a strange kind of anger. “Fetch Rico.” He told Kira while lounging on the couch in his room, looking as majestic as ever. “Yes boss, I was told to come.” She left after bowing and bringing Rico, who was wearing a worried expression. "I want you to call Noah to prepare my private jet after I get my car ready because I am going underground." “Alright boss.” Rico responded and found a way to slip out of the room. Andrea stood up, gazing out the window, his mind buzzing with thoughts. He had to go handle the defaulters who were trying to steal from him. The “und
“No what? I don't understand…” When Amira realized what he meant, her smile faded.Italy? Despite the fact that she had a desire to travel outside of the country, she had not been able to do so because she was married to a man who had taken her against her will.If she were to go there, it would be dangerous for her to escape because she did not know anyone and she had nowhere to go.“I…. can't. Do we have to travel anywhere? Can't we do it here?" Andrea remained silent as he continued to fix his gaze intently on hers. In light of the fact that he had already decided what he felt about her and that nothing could change his mind, he exited the room.With her head buried in her thoughts, Amira walked back and forth. She had to run, she had to get away. On the other hand, it was only a honeymoon, right? What would happen if he took her there and never brought her back? She would never be able to realize her dreams again.“Ouch!” She mumbled to herself, trying to figure out what to do n
Back in the steamy dark room, the sounds of a grown man wimping and punching could be heard. Andrea lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth as he surveyed the dark room. As he walked through the dark room, the cries and whimpers became louder. "Boss." When one of his men noticed his sudden appearance, he ran up to him and bowed. Andrea rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked past him, indicating that he did not want to be bothered. "Take me to the bastard," he said, a frown on his face as his men led him into the room. There, the man's screams became more audible, to the point where one could feel his eardrums ripping. “Boss.” Rex mumbled as he walked away from a man tied to the ceiling. There was a burning flame underneath him, giving the impression that he was being burned or cooked alive. He was tied above the flame, but his body was not in it. Not at all. His cries and agonizing moans became more audible as tears and perspiration streamed down his face. “He didn’t wa
With anxiety consuming her, Amira trailed behind Old Mr. Martini, wondering what he intended to discuss with her. As she observed his movements, she came to the conclusion that, despite his advanced age, he walked very quickly; this person had strong genes.Andrea walked silently behind her, even though he was on his way to his room, but a part of him wanted to hear what his grandfather had in store for her, what he wanted to tell her about, or if he was planning something else for her.After that, they went into another tastefully furnished relaxation area that had a vintage feel to it due to the scent of leather and wood. However, her nervousness is consuming her. Old Mr. Martini sat in his chair, staring at Amira, and then shifted his attention from hers to Andrea, who was standing at the door and glaring at him."This has nothing to do with your opinion, Andrea; I didn't call you." Old Mr Martini returned the glare and motioned for him to leave them alone. Andrea wasn't sure abou
Amira's eyes scanned the serene yet lovely street as she noticed the abrupt silence surrounding her. However, its beauty compelled her to keep walking as quickly as she could to a place she did not know."Amira, you don't know anywhere around here; I think it is time we go back."Her inner voice told her, and she took a deep breath before turning around and walking back to where she had begun her journey. But what bothered her was why a street could be so silent, even though there were other houses nearby. Nothing could be heard, no vehicle, no murmurs of people, just her in that lonely street."What have I done?" Reality struck her as she realized she had forgotten the path she had taken while walking away from Martini's Mansion.She then walked and discovered three streets, her heart pounding so hard.She stood there for a while, not knowing where she had come from or where she was going. She wanted to see if she could increase her chances of escaping if necessary, but it now appear
Andrea walked into his usual bar, his lips pursed in rage and his expression dangerously frightening. His bodyguards, Rex and Jay, followed him, dressed casually, keeping an eye out for any potential trespassers.Feliz spotted him and his face lit up with joy. He dropped his female strippers and ran towards him, but his smile faded as soon as he saw his face. He knew that Andrea wouldn't like it if he was too bothered, or he would push his button and kill him.However, something else surprised him: his appearance and the ring on his finger. To satiate his need, he demanded them in the comfort of his own home, even though he knew Andrea didn't just walk into his bar."Mr. Martini," he smiled, showing his upper teeth. "What honor do I have with your presence?"Andrea looked at him unimpressed, his hands tightened into a fist, and he walked into the bar, ignoring the eyes on him and the majority of the ladies staring at him."Should I set up a VIP room?" Feliz inquired, but Andrea respon
"I am surprised you are in my grandparents' home, Mr Bellini; is there something you came to do?" Andrea finally broke the awkward silence, ignoring his grandfather's warning glare, knowing what he could do."Of course, I wouldn't be here for no reason." He laughed and switched to Italian while clearing his throat. His expression turned cold, his gaze first on Andrea and then on Lily, who was busy playing with her fingers to relieve the tension she was feeling."I made an agreement with your father and grandfather, and it has been a while. I am guessing you already knew about it," he said, his voice rough and thick with an Italian accent."Well, Andrea, you understand why Mr. Bellini is here. He came to find out about you and Lily's marriage proposal." Old Mr Martini took over, his eyes glaring at Andrea before softening as he looked at Lily."I signed an agreement with him when your father was still the CEO of Martini Luxe. We went bankrupt at the time, and Mr. Bellini was extremely
Andrea put on his clothes with a smug grin, a faint smile spreading across his face. He had no idea that this moment would arrive so quickly, but the fact that she had to do it in exchange for what she wanted ruined the whole experience. To tell the truth, though, would he let her leave?"I'll bet she tries." He scoffed, his hand on the doorknob, his presence breaking the silence of the room.A devious smirk crept across his face, knowing what he would do. He had agreed, but not for long. He wondered if she was planning to leave while they were in Italy, or if she would leave when they returned to the United States.But one thing he wanted to do was let her try and see how far she could go, or how far she could separate herself from him without feeling anything else.He then opened the door and walked down the hallway, adjusting his outfit, his hair was a little messy, he had other things on his mind at the time, he wondered how long he would stay in Italy, and how long he could go wi
"Why do you need a tattoo?" Andrea asked quietly, trailing kisses down her abdomen and squeezing her perky nipples again. Amira wondered if this was the best time to discuss her past scars. Did she have a valid reason for tattooing her scars instead?Growing up as a child into a young woman, her mother had raised her in such a way that she despised scars on her body, as small as a scratch, and saw them as dirty, as flaws, but most people preferred to keep her scars as a reminder for them, or as something to be proud of."You never told me who was really behind this cupcake; you mentioned your family, but never said who specifically ruined your beautiful skin.” He whispered, pressing his hot breath against her skin and kissing every visible scar on her body.With each kiss that Andrea gave her, Amira's stomach twisted, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt a tingle rise on her skin.Then he returned his finger to her clit, rubbing, pinching, and caressing it, watching her trembl
"Yes, one fuck won't hurt; do this and then let me go," Amira whispered, looking into his eyes. She was still scared, but her courage grew gradually. Andrea scoffed, revealing her fear despite her best efforts to conceal it."Are you certain about this? If you know you are fucking scared, don't force yourself to do something you would curse at me about." He taunted, his lips curled into a crook smile."Yes, you offered to let me go after this, and I accept." Amira mumbled with her eyes half closed."Silly girl," he said quietly, walking towards the door and closing it with a click. With a hand on her chest, Amira felt a lump in her throat and tried to calm herself by telling herself she was fine."I will ask for the last time, Amira," Andrea's voice grew deeper as he approached her slowly, giving her predator vibes, and the smell of his cologne filled her nose, "do you agree on this?""I agree, Andrea, as long as you let me go." She blinked, tempted to back away as he approached. With
His words rang like a bell in Amira's ears, and she lifted her chin to look him in the eyes, noticing the evil grin on his face, which irritated her to the core. Being claimed, tamed, reminded that she would never be independent, and reminded that she no longer possessed free will were all things she hated.The air around them stiffened as they stared at one another without saying a word. They let their eyes speak for them, and as the tears continued to fall down Amira's cheek like a drop of rain, her vibrant eyes popped up.Andrea's golden eyes moved from her left to her right, savoring the variations in color and the tears streaming down her cheeks. It felt like seeing her like this roused the sleeping feeling inside of him, as he had not seen her like this in a long time, aside from the first week after their marriage, when she tried to escape.You are free to cry all you want, cupcake, but I own every single drop of those tears. You can do whatever you want, run as fast as you can
“Should I be frank with you?” Amira bit her lip, casting a glance at Andrea, who was backing away from them; their loud conversation had once again devolved into a whisper. Willing to listen to her confession, Lily nodded her head."I know you are keeping an eye on Andrea, and honestly, I don't mind it. Besides, I don't love him; I was forced to marry him, and he refuses to let me go. I was overjoyed when I learned that he was going to marry another woman. So I am relieved to see you two together right now."Lily kept her mouth half open, staring at the woman in front of her; what she had just heard felt surreal. How could anyone not love Andrea Martini, unless she was mad upstairs? Her throat dried, and her mouth hung open in disbelief.She assumed Amira was just saying that to hide her jealousy or to pretend that she did not care, but her eyes told her otherwise, indicating that she was being honest with her words. She wondered what Andrea had done to her to the point where she no l
