Reviello's Wrong Bride A terrible liar
The bird song awakens her from a deep sleep that no dream or memory has dared to disturb. Emerald eyes blink to adjust to the rooms' clarity. She rolls onto her side, feeling an intense pain in every corner of her body, that’s wearing a comfortable sweater that doesn't belong to her. She doesn't remember dressing in it last night. Actually, she doesn't remember much at all… it's as if a truck has run over her.Suddenly, she notices that the balcony door is open. Despite difficulty, she gets out of bed and walks as if drawn to there. And Giovanni is found there, shirtless, wearing just the pants of the same sweater she's wearing, with his hair disheveled and eyes so red that there's even dark circles under them. He's smoking what seems to be the eighth cigarette, lost in thought.And when he notices her approach, his eyes search her cautiously, inspecting the expression on her face carefully. “How are you feeling?”She opens her mouth to
Reviello's Wrong Bride You've punished me too much
The feeling of calm brought by the truth was just an illusion… because even though Giovanni had said all those things, he keeps her trapped in her room, chained to the boredom that has become her greatest enemy. Most of the time, she sits on the balcony, watching the property and wishing she were a bird that could fly away from this place. At least she has time to reorder her thoughts and accept that she's been manipulated all this time. There's a lot to think about. Her confessed feelings have not changed the situation and hearing that it's mutual hasn't eased the bitterness in her chest either… because despite everything, Giovanni has betrayed her with Yolanda and still holding her as a captive. At least her head isn't rolling on the floor and her blood isn't painting the carpet with red. Eleonor has given up on divorce. She wanted to get a divorce before Giovanni found out whom she really is, and since he knew from the beginning, there's no point in keeping this when it's been so
Reviello's Wrong Bride I'm still trapped
Eleonor was finally released from her punishment. Getting out of the bedroom and breathing in the fresh air really is priceless. That's why she decided to enjoy her first moments of freedom by the pool and feel the heat of the sun on her sweaty skin. Things that seemed so simple took on new meaning before her green eyes… a deeper and more invigorating meaning.“I'm so sorry things ended up this way…” Lisette sighs, hugging her friend tight. “If I'd known that Giovanni would lock you up, I wouldn't have suggested something like that. I didn't expect him to do this...”“Don't worry, I don't blame you.” Eleonor smiles sweetly. “I'm the one who wanted to go along with the idea and decided to get under his skin in the first place…”“So, what will we do now?” Lisette breaks the hug, looking at the blue sky without a single cloud. “The engagement party will be in seven days.”“I don't know.” Eleonor sighs deeply, staring at the diamond ring that's once again adorning her finger — which she h
Reviello's Wrong Bride Got it lost a long before
Eleonor attention was drawn to the forest at the back of the property, as she was trapped in her room facing boredom and loneliness. There's something about the place she can't quite figure out… a strong attraction that kept calling her even in her dreams. And now that she's free, she can finally answer the call.The smell of earth under Eleonor's bare feet is strong and fills her nostrils. Large pine trees bring a refreshing breeze all around, and it leaves do not allow the sun to fully reach there. Many plants are growing on the floor, ignoring the confusion that has been installed in Eleonor’s chest for a long time.She wanders, letting her feet move forward without stopping. According to Francesca, the property is beyond the limits of Denver, and it occupies a small portion of the forest that surrounds the mountains, and there's even a lake further on. It's indeed a breathtaking place. Getting close to nature, feeling the earth under her feet, inflating her lungs, and being guided
Reviello's Wrong Bride Alright… let's talk
When everything started? It's hard to know.Emily always acted innocent, like she was an angel. She used to defend Eleonor in their mother's tantrums… but weren't those tantrums usually driven by Emily in the first place? Oh, yes… innocent little Emily made a mistake that would eventually come back to Eleonor… silly things that always grown big and become an excuse to relieve Erica's anger.Emily dropped the food? Eleonor is irresponsible for not helping her sister eat properly.Emily fell and scraped her knees? Eleonor is blamed for pushing her sister… which wasn't true, but it became like that when the little angel cried and said it's not Elle's fault for being so clumsy.Did Emily get bad grades in school? It's Eleonor's fault that she didn't take the test in her place. After all, she's so smart, right? Doesn't she brag about being number one in her class? She must take the exams in her sister's place.Emily doesn't know the necessary etiquette for the event? It's Eleonor's fault f
Reviello's Wrong Bride New bad habits
Eleonor holds her breath because this moment has finally arrived. She's thought about this conversation a thousand times, and here they are, sitting at the dinner table with barely stirred food and almost empty wine. She cannot eat or drink as her stomach has been so sensitive lately. Even at that point, she feels her insides twist and her chest freeze.“Why did you want to marry Emily?” She asks again with a high voice.“Didn't you ask me that already?”“You did not answer me.”“Oh, do I need to answer it?” Giovanni tilts his head slightly with a smug smile.“Yes, Giovanni. That's how a conversation works, with two people talking.” She sighs, feeling that maybe things aren't going to go as easily as she expected.“You didn't answer me either. I asked what you think about it.”“What?” She gives in to surprise and her eyebrows rise. Giovanni stifles a laugh because all he can see is how her face speaks for itself.“I didn't ask about cigarettes, Eleonor, or what that James and Erica th
Reviello's Wrong Bride The cabin
Eleonor can't believe it… she just cannot!She thought it would be alright if she called the driver discreetly and asked him to take her off the property… maybe take her around the neighborhood or the city, just to make herself feel better after so many twists. But as they get in front of the iron gates, she discovered that it wouldn't be so easy.Nothing is easy when it comes to Giovanni Reviello.“Open the gates!” Eleonor commands for the third time, already impatient and out of the car. The poor driver remains inside, with his hands firmly on the steering wheel, fearing reprisals.“I can't do that, Mrs. Reviello.” The guard responds firmly, with a rigid and unfriendly expression. He doesn't seem to like her.“Why not? I am ordering you to open it!” She crosses her arms, staring at the man with her chin held high.“I'm sorry, ma'am. Direct orders from the boss.” The man remains adamant… which makes her even more frustrated.“You can't be serious… Is my authority not enough to break
Reviello's Wrong Bride A trace of you
Eleonor goes back to staring at the ceiling, fearing that her cheeks will become red. But she could still feel the intensity of Giovanni's gaze on her face, looking at her expressions. Lately, he has been looking at her with such tenderness and curiosity… She doesn't know how to feel about this kind of look.“Why did you bring me here?” She asks, not looking at him. “It's a precious place, isn't it?”Giovanni thinks for a few moments, replaying memories in his mind that are precious and painful at the same time… but that haven't been able to make him feel anything for a long time as well. It's like a dream that one had woken up from a very long ago…“Yes, it's a precious place… It's my shelter.” Giovanni confesses.After a brief silence, Eleonor looks back at him, inspecting his calm, unwavering expression, even though she knows there's chaos inside his head, just as there's in hers.“Then why did you bring me here?” Eleonor feels her chest tingle in a funny way, “I know this place is
