I whispered, my eyes widening as I stared at the mirror.The reflection looking back at me was a version of myself I had never seen before—polished, radiant, almost unrecognizable."Don't you look gorgeous?" the woman beside me beamed, admiring her own handiwork.I could hardly believe it. My hair shimmered under the light, styled to perfection in a way it had never been before. My makeup was flawless, almost too good to be true. For the first time in a long time, I felt... beautiful."I could fall in love with myself over and over again," I murmured, still mesmerized."Don’t worry, I’ll get you all the products I used to achieve this look," she said, gathering a selection of expensive beauty essentials and handing them to me. "Here, take them. It’s all on the house."I blinked in surprise. "Are you serious?""Of course," she smiled. "You know, Antonia, I like you. You seem so different from all the other girls he’s been bringing here for the past four years.""Four years?!"
"Good day, Mr. Alessandro! What a pleasant surprise. What can we do for you?" A woman, dressed in a black gown, welcomed us into the mall. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded effortlessly, and her body was wonderfully sculpted, with skin glowing like the sun. Her beauty could undoubtedly capture the attention of any man, and Alessandro's gaze, fixed upon her, confirmed it. They embraced, exchanging kisses at the chic entrance."And what do we have here?" she asked, her radiant smile making me instantly fall in love with her at first glance."Hi, I'm Antonia," I began, but before I could finish, Alessandro cut me off."She's Antonia, my escort for today's award-winning Gala," he said with a smile."So, you brought her here for a makeover, right?" the woman asked Alessandro with a knowing smirk."Yes," he replied smoothly. "Because you're the best at what you do, and I trust your judgment."She rolled her eyes playfully. "But come on, Alessandro, when are you going to settle down? Get mar
It was all a lie.I sat there, watching the scene unfold before me, struggling to process the irony of it all."Wow, Suocero," Alessandro said, a hint of surprise in his voice as he noticed the sleek gadget wrapped around my father’s wrist. "You're also a fan of technology?"My father chuckled weakly. "Well, I wouldn’t call myself a fanatic, but I do appreciate good innovation."Alessandro’s eyes gleamed with interest. "Do you like it, Suocero? Is it comfortable?" His tone shifted, his business instincts taking over as he leaned in slightly. I could tell he was fishing for customer feedback on his latest smartwatch.My father, oblivious to Alessandro’s true intentions, eagerly answered each question, going into detail about how useful the watch had been for monitoring his health.A smirk played on Alessandro’s lips. "I’m actually working on a new model designed specifically for elders, and I’d love for you to be the first to test it out. I hope you don’t mind?"Without hesitation, my
"So, Alessandro, what have you been up to besides your marriage? We actually need to catch up!" Federico said, laughing as he suddenly jumped onto Alessandro’s back like an excited child.Alessandro stumbled slightly before rolling his eyes, a rare but genuine smile forming on his lips. "I should be asking you that question, Federico. You disappeared without a word. No one heard from you for months. I tried reaching out to you. Where have you been?"Federico slid off his brother’s back with a playful grin. "Well, I was on a journey to find my inner self," he said dramatically, placing a hand over his chest. "But now I’m back—for good this time."Alessandro’s smile widened, his usual cold exterior melting for just a moment. "You’re serious?""Yeah, big brother. Full-time Amato mode activated."Alessandro shook his head in amusement, then turned his gaze slightly upward. "Dad, I hope you can hear this. This news just made my day." He let out a small chuckle before looking at Federico. "
I shouted, my voice breaking with panic.Alessandro didn’t answer.He just kept driving.The car slowed to a stop. I looked around, my stomach tightening with dread. A cemetery.Fear crawled up my spine. My fingers clutched the seatbelt so tightly my knuckles turned white.Was this it? Was Alessandro planning to kill me and bury me in secret?Swallowing the lump in my throat, I forced my voice to stay calm. "Alessandro… what are we doing here?"He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he stepped out, walked around the car, and yanked open my door. Before I could react, his hand gripped my wrist, pulling me out with brutal force."Get down and see for yourself," he said, his voice eerily steady.I stumbled slightly, my heart pounding. The towering gravestones stretched before us, cold and lifeless.Alessandro turned to me with a smirk, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Don’t tell me you’ve never been to a cemetery before?" he asked, his tone almost mocking, as if this was nothing more t
I was shattered. Devastated. The weight of what had just happened crushed me, stealing the breath from my lungs. Alessandro had forced himself on me—I could still feel the violation lingering on my skin, in my soul. My body trembled as I curled up in the corner of my room, my sobs breaking the heavy silence. Blood stained the bed, the floor beneath me—a cruel reminder of the pain, the horror, the betrayal. I wept, my cries desperate and raw, my heart aching in ways I never thought possible. How could this have happened? How could he do this to me?I cried myself to sleep, exhaustion finally overtaking my broken body. But the peace was short-lived. A loud noise startled me awake, jolting me back into the cruel reality of last night.As I sat up, the memories rushed in like a flood—Alessandro, his touch, the pain, the betrayal. My chest tightened. I turned my head slowly, my eyes landing on the mirror across the room.The woman staring back at me was unrecognizable. Hollow eyes. Pale
Blood trickled down his arm, staining his crisp white shirt with deep crimson, yet he didn’t seem to care. In his other hand, he clutched a half-empty wine bottle, his grip so tight I thought it might shatter at any moment.He took a step closer.Then another.The dim light of my room revealed his disheveled state—his shirt unbuttoned at the top, his tie gone, his usually pristine suit now wrinkled and stained. The strong, bitter stench of alcohol filled the air, making me instinctively step back.His piercing blue eyes, darkened with rage and intoxication, locked onto mine.He was furious.He was drunk.And he was coming straight for me."You bitch!!"Alessandro's voice thundered through the room as he stormed toward me, his grip ripping the blanket off me in one swift motion."Stay away from me, Alessandro!" I screamed, my voice shaking with fear. But he didn’t stop. He didn’t hesitate.His hand shot out, grabbing my face so tightly that pain shot through my jaw. His fingers dug int
Before I could even process what was happening, the doors slammed shut with loud clank, locking automatically. The alarm blared through the room, a deafening reminder of the mistake I had just made."No! No! No!" I panicked, rushing to the door, yanking at the handle, pushing, pulling—nothing. It wouldn't budge. My chest tightened as fear clawed its way up my throat."Help!!!" I screamed, banging against the door with all my strength. "I'm locked inside! Can anybody hear me?!"Silence.Then, it hit me.I was alone. Completely alone in this massive house. No one was around to hear my desperate cries.A cold shiver ran down my spine as reality set in—I had broken Alessandro’s number one rule. I had stepped into forbidden territory. And now, I was trapped.How foolish. How stupid I was to think I could get away with it.Now, I had to face the consequences. And knowing Alessandro, they wouldn’t be small.The golden hues of the setting sun filtered through the windows, casting long shadows
The silence in the house was deafening, wrapping around me like a heavy, suffocating blanket. Every corner felt empty, every room too vast, too cold. I stood there, staring into nothing, my mind drifting in circles as I struggled to find something—anything—to do.The loneliness crept in slowly, sinking into my bones. With Alessandro gone and no one else around, the grand house felt less like a home and more like a prison. I sighed, rubbing my arms as if that could chase away the eerie stillness. What was I supposed to do now? How was I supposed to keep myself busy when all I had were my thoughts… and a life I never chose?Curiosity clawed at me as I wandered through the house, my fingers grazing along the smooth walls, pushing open doors one by one, taking in the mystery of each space. But then I stopped—frozen in front of the one door I wasn’t supposed to open. Alessandro’s room.My heart pounded against my ribs as I stared at it, my fingers itching to turn the handle. What was he hi
My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at them, my breath hitching. "What do you mean she ran away… and I should take her place as the bride?" My voice came out in a whisper, then a little louder, laced with disbelief. My hands trembled as I took a step back, searching their faces for any sign that this was some kind of twisted joke. But all I saw was urgency… and expectation.I stood frozen, my mind spinning as the weight of the situation crashed over me. "I can't believe my step-sister decided to run away on the day of her wedding… and now I have to take her place." The words felt foreign on my tongue, as if saying them would somehow make them real. My pulse raced, my palms slick with sweat. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be. Yet, the expectant stares around me told me otherwise.Tears burned in my eyes as I shook my head furiously, my voice breaking with desperation. "No, Mommy, I can't! I won't marry that man for Beatrice's sake!" My hands clenched into fists, my chest risin...
