Emma I don't know how long I stayed there. The door only opened when it got dark. But before that a maid brought me a snack.Boris enters the room and looks at me for a while. He sits in an armchair and continues to look at me."What happened? Did you hurt my father?""I just gave him a warning. His father isn't dead."I feel relieved by what he says. The thought of my father getting hurt because of me makes me desperate."You asked to call off the wedding."That wasn't a question. He was affirming what I said."I did.""Do you think there's a way to cancel this?""It's worth trying."Boris looks at me with amusement. But he didn't seem to be laughing. The truth is, he was angry."You…" the words die in her mouth."What were you going to talk about? You can talk, I don't care. You always go out of your way to really hurt me."The mobster closes his hand into a fist. He was holding back from saying anything."You're mine Emma" her eyes flashed possessively "You don't have to think abo
EmmaThat morning I was happy. For once my smile wasn't forced.I sit on the bed and watch Boris get ready. He was wearing a suit that was flattering on his body.My husband was kind after we slept together, this is so unusual it made me happy."Get ready, I'll take you with me.""Where are we going?""Company."I knew that the Mikhailovich family had a company. They had to keep up the good family face."Okay" I smile.I get up and get ready quickly. Just thinking about leaving the house makes me even happier.After the shower, I put on a tight black dress. The sleeve went to the wrist and had an opening in the back. I put on my heels and tie up my hair.I head downstairs to the coffee table. It bothers me to see Agatha standing beside her."You can leave" the woman looks at me for a while."But I...""I said you can leave" she forces a smile and does as I command.Seeing that she was serving Boris's coffee, I take her place and do it myself."Can you take me to the pharmacy?""What d
Emma When the door opens, I take a step back. Boris looks at me angrily and it intimidates me."How long are you here?""I just got here" he grips my arm tightly"Do not lie!""I'm not lying. Ask the security guard who brought me here. I just got here."My husband lets go of my arm. I pull away from him abruptly and walk into the room."When I think things are going well, you do it to show how dreamy I am."I grab the lingerie bags and throw them in my closet."I was on an important call."Of course Boris doesn't want to let me know that my brother has run away. He won't have as much control over me anymore."It's not my fault. You can't treat me any way you want. It really hurts."He cups my face and strokes my cheek. I leave my face in the palm of his hand, wanting more of that touch."I'm sorry, I shouldn't treat you like that."Was Boris apologizing? For the first time in his life, he apologized. I can not believe."Just don't do that kind of thing."My husband kisses my lips slo
EmmaThe dress I chose for the dinner at my husband's parents' house is the most behaved I had.I don't know how his father might react to me. I even prefer that we don't stay in the same place if he wants to talk to me.I finish my make-up and put things aside."Are you done yet?""Yes" he watches me "Does the dress please you?"The last few times Boris has complained about my dress. I don't know what he likes to see me wearing."Yes, I liked it" I give a smile "Even more than I should."I turn my back so I wouldn't have to face him. I was feeling embarrassed by his compliment.I feel his hands run through me, until they reach my breasts, where he leaves a painful squeeze."You look different," I decide to comment.My husband kisses my neck and runs his hands over my body, tracing every detail."Doesn't that please you?""It pleases me very much. I just don't know why.""I just want to keep you to myself."He had been like this since the day he talked to my father. I just wanted to k
EmmaFootsteps can be heard and soon I feel a presence behind me. I knew very well who it was."Didn't I already tell you to stay away from my wife?""I was keeping her company. Emma was feeling bad."Boris looks at me and his face changes from angry to worried."What are you feeling?""It's nothing, it's over. Can we leave?""We just got here.""If you want to stay, then stay!"I get out of there and walk over to the car parked in front of the mansion.The driver drives me back home in silence. As soon as I arrive I go straight to my room.I look at the picture that was on the bedside table. It was us together, on our wedding day. My face was sad, without a trace of joy.That day for me was more like a funeral."Just when I think everything is going to be okay.... Then you mess it up and leave me hurt."I throw the picture frame on the floor causing it to shatter. I pick up the picture among the shards of glass and cut my hand, but that didn't bother me.I take a good look at my face
Emma My whole body freezes with what she says. I can't believe it.Boris did fight with my father, but I don't think he would actually kill him. He told me so himself.This can't be happening now that we are getting along so well. Something is wrong."We don't know if he did it, Mom. There's no way to know.""Who else could do it?""Dad had a lot of enemies. It could have been someone who..." she holds up her hand, telling me to stop talking."Boris was one of those enemies. He came here and threatened your father, because of you.""It wasn't my fault, I swear. He knew that my father hit me, but I didn't say anything."Liana looks at me for a while. Her gaze shows sadness and pain. I looked not much different, with tears streaming down my face."I can't stay here, I can't" she stumbles and almost goes to the floor. But then she gets up and leaves the office.I look at the bloody floor. My shoes were dirty, and so were my feet.The worst of it all is knowing that the last time I saw h
The door opens slowly, startling me. Boris enters the room and sits on the bed.I am afraid that he will do something, but my husband just stares at me intently."I'm sorry for what happened, Emma.""Are you apologizing?" I giggle "Who are you and where is my husband?"He takes my hand and brings it to his lips. I feel my heart beat fast because of it.How can I leave when he is treating me so well now? This is so unfair."What your mother said isn't true. I didn't kill your father.""I also have to apologize for being suspicious of you. I have to give you the benefit of the doubt."He lies down next to me and pulls me to his chest. I close my eyes and sigh. Why is this being so hard?***I am confused as I watch Boris get ready. The suit was perfectly aligned on his body."Where are you going?""I have to go to the casino today. Do you wish to go with me?"I give a smile and get excited. He had never called me to do anything involving the mob before. Does this mean he is trusting me?
Emma The blade of the knife is inches from my face. I try not to move so that I don't get hit."Let me go!""I don't like people to make fun of me, and that's exactly what you did, you bitch!"I think about yelling for someone, but I am afraid that this crazy woman might cut my face."The bitch here is you who hit on my husband" she growls in anger and tries to attack me.I manage to move to the side, making the knife catch on the wall. I kick the woman away, causing her to fall to the ground.I run my hand down my neck and take a deep breath."I will finish you Emma!""So you know my name? It's Mrs. Mikhailovich to you" I step on her hand that was on the ground "Don't try to attack me thinking I'm defenseless. You crazy bitch!"I open the bathroom door and walk out of there, leaving an angry Alice lying on the floor.I remember my baby and put my hand on her belly."Emma!" I am startled to hear my husband's voice "You took your time.""Something happened to me. But I'll tell you abo
Emma When the door opens again, I am anxious, hoping to see Boris there, and that he will change his mind about taking my son.But it wasn't my husband, it was his brother. I am startled to see Iuri."Iuri, what are you doing here?" I ask frightened."I heard you had the baby. How are you?""You can't be here. What if Boris comes back?"He sits down in the chair next to me. Iuri puts his hand over mine and sighs."I don't think he's coming back.""No..."He had taken Alexei. Boris took my son from me in revenge? That can't be true."My father told you to do this. To leave you and take the boy."So that's it. I got pregnant and he took my son? No, that can't happen!"Help me, Iuri. I need to have my son back.""You need to stay calm, Emma.""How do you want me to stay calm? Your family destroyed mine. And now that they've taken my son, I want him back."I get up from the bed, but Iuri holds my body, making me sit up."You just had a baby.""Which has already been taken from me. That m
EmmaBoris stands still for a while, looking at me and then at my stomach."Are you sure?""Am I sure?" I yell when I feel pain, "Oh, damn. Of course I'm sure. The baby is going to be born now.""Let's go to the hospital!" he finally seems to have answered.The mobster holds my arm and starts to guide me out of the house.As soon as we arrive, there is already a car with a driver waiting for us. Boris helps me into it and then stands beside me.I put my hand on my stomach when I feel another contraction."Are you okay?""I'm feeling unbearable pain, of course I'm not okay!" I screamed once again.The pain was driving me crazy, and with him talking on my side, it wasn't helping me. Boris was making the situation even worse.I continued to feel pain until I reached the hospital. It only took a few minutes to get there.I got out of the car and a nurse came over to me. He placed me in a chair. "Your doctor will be here soon. Do you know the time between contractions?""I think about fiv
Emma "I was feeling pain, your brother just helped me."My husband looks at me angrily. His hand still holding mine, keeping me in place."What are you doing, Boris? Let her go. Your wife is pregnant." Iuri speaks trying to help me."Do I look like an idiot? You're always around each other, and it's making me very angry."The mobster takes me aside and faces his brother. Boris then punches Iuri in the face.My voice gets stuck and I can't speak. The two begin to fight in an animalistic fashion."Stay away from my wife!" Boris yells and slams his brother's head on the ground.He was hitting Iuri hard, and I can't do anything about it. I just stand there yelling for them to stop."Boris, let go of your brother," I pull his arm back.Then he finally pulls away. Iuri is lying on the ground, his face covered with blood. He was badly bruised.He spits the blood on the floor and looks angrily at Boris."I warned you. Stay away from, Emma. Next time I see you near her, I'll finish the job."
Emma The man pulls me away from his body and looks into my eyes."You are very nervous, please calm down." Iuri runs his hand across my face in a caress."I can't. I want to leave, I want to get out of here." I cry again."Think of your baby, Emma. Do this for him."I take a deep breath and slowly calm down. I was feeling stuck with Boris. But that is the truth, I am stuck with that man.All I can do is cry and mourn. And sometimes do everything so that he doesn't kill my mother."You don't know what just happened..." I wipe my tears.Iuri sighs and looks at me looking like he feels guilty about something, "I know what happened. I heard my father talking about it yesterday.""Why didn't you tell me about it?" I push him by his chest."I'm sorry, Emma. But I couldn't do anything about it." I shake my head in denial."Your father is one of the worst people I've ever met. He wanted to hurt me, to hurt me. And he succeeded!"That had been another one of the worst days of my life. Everyth
Emma I hold my face and take steps back. I blink slowly as I feel tears fall from my eyes.Boris takes a deep breath and holds my arm. "You made me do it, Emma. Why did you have to say so many meaningless things?"I was angry, hurt, it wasn't fair that he was the one feeling insulted here."Why did you do that to me? I am not to blame for any of this. I didn't ask for this marriage, or anything involving the mob business. I just wanted to be a normal teenager.""I'm sorry, Emma. I'll never do that again, I promise you.""I don't believe anything that comes out of your mouth," I yell at him, feeling even angrier.The mobster holds my arms and makes me sit on the bed. Boris stands in front of me, looking down on me. "You need to stay calm, or I will lose my temper."He likes to feel that way, on top of me. Boris likes to feel powerful, that's the truth.You have to be very innocent not to have noticed his lies. But now I won't believe anything else."And then what? Are you going to hit
Emma I screamed and beat Boris to get out of his arms. I couldn't believe that the mobster had really killed my brother.I loved my father very much, but my brother, I loved even more. Luigi always did everything to protect me, to get me out of all this that I'm going through now. My brother risked everything for me, so that in the end I would end up like this."Luigi..." I can only scream out his name.I look out the car window, where I could see his body lying on the ground. Blood was dripping from the hole that the gun shot had caused. I see my mother come out of the house and walk towards his body.I hope Liana buries him with all the caution in the world. Luigi deserves to have everything good.The car drives away and I am not able to see anything more of what happens in that house, which has already taken two people from me. "Just stop crying. He was a nobody!""He was my brother. Luigi always went out of his way to make sure I got rid of you!"I try to assault the man next
Emma I couldn't control my crying. Pain is the only thing I'm feeling right now. Boris really did this to me. He cheated on me, betrayed my trust and destroyed our relationship. It was all a lie. All the good deeds he did were all a deception. "I'm sorry, Ema," laments Iuri, "that wasn't my intention." "You don't have to worry, Iuri. You helped me find out the truth. The only thing I have to do is thank you." I wipe the tears from my face and take a deep breath. I refuse to cry once again because of him. I don't want to cry anymore. I need to get over him, I need to get over Boris. I don't want to go through this anymore. He tricked me, he made me think he liked me. And it was all a plan created by the Mikhailovich family. "I knew that the marriage story was strange. My father was never a man who gave peace to his enemy." "Your father demonstrated that when I met him." "It must be hard, Emma. I can't imagine how you are feeling right now." "I feel betrayed and hurt." Iuri
EmmaI look around and am surprised to see that I'm in my old room at home.It makes me desperate to remember what happened and I put my hand on my stomach. Was my baby okay?"Emma, you're awake. How are you feeling?""Mom" I go to her and hug her "My baby...""It's okay now, honey. Your baby is fine. You got nervous and almost had a miscarriage, but it's okay now. A doctor came to see you."I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear that. I would never forgive myself if I had lost him."Luigi" she nods in agreement.My brother was able to stand up to Boris and bring me back. He was the one who found me in the middle of the street and probably brought me back home."Your brother wanted to bring you back home. He also believes that Boris is the one who killed your father.""Is he a leader now?""Yes, your brother took your father's place."That was no surprise. I was confused by the fact that he practically started a war with my husband."Boris won't stop there, mother. Luigi was irrespo
Emma The blade of the knife is inches from my face. I try not to move so that I don't get hit."Let me go!""I don't like people to make fun of me, and that's exactly what you did, you bitch!"I think about yelling for someone, but I am afraid that this crazy woman might cut my face."The bitch here is you who hit on my husband" she growls in anger and tries to attack me.I manage to move to the side, making the knife catch on the wall. I kick the woman away, causing her to fall to the ground.I run my hand down my neck and take a deep breath."I will finish you Emma!""So you know my name? It's Mrs. Mikhailovich to you" I step on her hand that was on the ground "Don't try to attack me thinking I'm defenseless. You crazy bitch!"I open the bathroom door and walk out of there, leaving an angry Alice lying on the floor.I remember my baby and put my hand on her belly."Emma!" I am startled to hear my husband's voice "You took your time.""Something happened to me. But I'll tell you abo
