Hope you are enjoying the story. Xoxo
Ella I couldn't believe my eyes, Lila was allowed to come here? At this point whatever Adrian's intention was, it didn't matter to me. The fact that he did this for me warms my heart and I can't help but wonder if his cold heart may have some life after all. Stop overthinking it, maybe he just wants to keep an eye on his enemies. The little voice whispers and I shut it down. "The last I saw you, those men had come after you. I have been so worried about you. I thought something terrible happened. Oh my God Ella!" she cries and I pull her into a hug. She is right, I have been selfish for not letting her know I was okay. "I'm so sorry Lila. I … Honestly I have no excuse. I'm really sorry." I hug her again. "Have you at least spoken to Toddy?" she asks in between sniffs. "Not yet but I will soon okay?" I lie knowing very well that if I say yes she will wonder why I called Toddy and not her. How else can you tell someone that you were bought from an auction to be a slave but
Adrian As this pretty woman lays on my chest for a few more minutes before I return to work, I can't help but wonder about how I'm going to keep her safe from everything that is going on and it seems I need to speak to my consigliere about this. "Are you leaving?" Ella looks up at me with doll eyes. "Yes, baby. I need to work on a few things. Plus you need to speak to your friend." I respond as I walk to the shower. Shortly, I returned and I was putting on my shirt when she spoke up. "Why do you call me baby? When you promised that I was only here for your pleasure.?" That's a question I have no answer to. So I chose to sound like a dick over weakness. "I just do. Be careful with what you talk about with Lila. One wrong word and I'll have to put a bullet in her head." I warn as I head out. As Toren is driving, I pull out my phone to call Luca who picks up on the first ring. "Yes, boss. Missing me already?" he laughs and I shake my head as I blow out a smoke. "Fuck you. No
Adrian I committed my life to avenging my father's death and to do that, I had to become the most ruthless and most powerful among the mafioso families. Everything changed when I decided to take a pet home. She was meant to pleasure me so I could quench my dark desires but she ended up getting in my skin and I can't fucking shake her off. She betrayed me and instead of putting a bullet in her skull, I fucking took her to my room and threw all the rules out the window. Hearing my uncle suggest that marrying her is the only solution drives me crazy. But I'd rather keep her by my side than let another man wife her. Even if it means she will hate me for the rest of her life. "Fine. It will be done." I respond to Uncle John who nods in understanding. "We'll then, I'll head out now to get things sorted and prepared. Don't be too hard on your mother. She did it all for you." he says and I smile. "Careful, we Morreti men never defend a woman unless our dick has been inside her. I mi
Ella I watch with a confused look as Adrian walks out the door. He ignored my question but decided to threaten me instead.Very typical of him.Deep down in my heart, I was hoping he would really answer my question but I guess it's a dream too far-fetched.Ignoring the pain shooting through my center from the way he pounded me, I stand and grab a towel to take a hot shower before heading back to Lila. The hot water hits my skin and soothes my muscles, making me want to stay here forever. Hidden from the battles and responsibilities that await me. But a girl can only dream.I walk back to the room and pick a change of clothes. As I zip up my dress, my thoughts drift to what a mess I have been. Sleeping with the enemy when I should be hating this man with my life. He plans on killing my grandparents and I should be fighting him, negotiating, changing his mind, or doing anything that will help me save them. He has slowly crept into my skin and won’t leave until he takes my soul too.The
‘’You’re lying!’’ I scream as I drop to the ground. The world seems to spin as everything comes crashing down making hot tears fall on my face. ‘’You thought he would give you the world because he fucks you? The only thing he will do is take it all from you because my son is broken.’’ She whispers in an angered tone. ‘’I don’t believe you,’’ I respond as I stand back on my feet again. ‘’Your mouth says one thing and your eyes say another!’’ she says as she turns to go. ‘’Call him right now and ask where he is,’’ she adds as she leaves and shuts the door leaving me in shock. With a trembling hand, I pull out my phone from my back pocket and dial Adrian’s number. It goes unanswered. Just when my heart sinks, the door bursts open and there he stands. Covered in blood! ‘’Did she hurt you?’’ He rushes to my side and checks me while I stare at him unable to move or scream. My heart longs for answers but seeing him covered in blood like this clenches it painfully as if someone is con
Adrian The bullet flies through the room but I curved so I miss intentionally.’’Are you okay honey!?’’ The old lady rushes to her husband’s side and I chuckle at the scene before me. ‘’What happened to being the most powerful family in the mafioso?’’ I ask as I blow out a smoke trying to mask the fact that this is the third time I have not shot my target because of HER! I kill everyone else just fine. But when it comes to someone who is special to her I hesitate. ‘’That is love right there.’’The old lady pulls me out of my thoughts and I scowl. ‘’ I knew you loved her from the time she cried over you on the phone. It wasn’t tears of physical pain but tears of a broken heart. She knows it’s wrong to love you back but you both can’t help it.’’ She adds and I laugh. She is right but I can't admit it. ‘’It seems you’ve not only become weak but delusional too. Give me the fucking Ledger or I will pull the fucking bullet this time and you won’t be lucky a second time.’’ I warn as my b
Ella Even though he doesn’t tell me how serious it is, I can tell it is from the way he has been gone most of the days and now he wants me to train. What’s next? Learning how to shoot? I laugh to myself. He opens the door and pulls me along with him. The training space is simple, almost bare, with white walls that seem to close in on me. A few mats lie scattered across the cold floor, and a single overhead light casts a stark glow over the room. He notices my shocked expression and chuckles’’What is it?’ he asks in his thick Italian accent. Sometimes I forget this man’s roots. ‘’It’s just simple. I didn’t know Rich people did simple.’’ I answer honestly and he just shakes his head. ‘’You’re here to train, not on vacation. My men use much worse locations when training.’’ "Here, change into these," he says, handing me a pair of shorts and a sports bra from the bag. ‘’Right here?’’ I ask teasingly. ‘’Where else?’’ He shoots back and I curse him. I grab the clothes and slowly un
Ella The engine of Adrian's car purrs as we navigate through the unfamiliar streets. I glance out of the tinted windows, trying to make sense of our destination, but the buildings don’t look familiar to me. It's definitely not the route to his mansion or the safe house. "Adrian, where are we going?" I ask, my curiosity tinged with a hint of concern. The question hangs in the air for a moment, but he remains silent, his attention fixed on the road ahead. I press further, "Adrian, you can't just take me somewhere without telling me. What's going on?" He still ignores me like he is dumb or what I’m asking is not making sense. ‘’Look if you want to commit suicide do it on your own. I don’t know about you but I like breathing lately.’’ ‘’Shut up. No one is doing anything like that.’’ He responds clearly irritated. ‘’You didn't think I'd be a talkative one when you picked me did you?’’ I ask and he chuckles before responding ‘’I did. I just didn’t think I'd let you get away with it.’’
