Chapter 75 FRANCESA “ Where am I?” I asked softly,I looked around, but this place wasn't familiar. My throat burnt in discomfort, my neck stiff in pain as I batted my eyelids as they stung from the dried up tears and my head banged from the pain. It wasn't unusual, it just had a cause that I wasn't able to decipher. “ Who's there?” I continued saying, I couldn't see a thing. My vision was blurry, if that was the right word but I was sure that I was seeing the double of everything and my ear began to buzz.“ Oh damn!” I yelled out in pain.I flipped my body the other way, pressing my face into the fluffy pillow and covering half of my body with the duvet. I needed something, warmth. But I also needed clearance. Or probably a reality check. I jolted from the bed, taking a clearer look as I looked around the room but I couldn't see anything that likeable about it. Nothing came to mind too, I didn't know how I got in here. Then my ears were filled with the sound of running water,
Chapter 76 FRANCESA “ I'm here!” I screamed. I even forgot the position I was with Stefano by the side, I pushed him away in realization as I scurried towards the direction of his voice as I felt it was urgent. I expected it to be, I ran towards it.“ Ow.” I gasped,I looked up with tears lingering at the corner of my eyes, about to drop and the bridge of my nose was swollen up and red from the impact.Paolo stood in front of me, he looked strong and mighty as he stared down on my small frame. I shook from his gaze, looking the other way as I stood at a spot, still as a fossil. Maybe, I was overcome by fear or shame, but I knew that it was either of them. He looked at me for a while, I felt so but I knew that his eyes were behind my head. He was staring at the spot there, I wondered what he was looking at but I was too afraid to ask so I kept quiet.I looked away.I was afraid that it could be Stefanno or it was a trick to see the way that I would react. It could be either of tho
Chapter 77FRANCESCA “ Stefano!” I gasped, running to him as I held him by the shirt, shaking him as tears ran down my face in anger. I didn't know what came over me, I had no sense of reasoning as I hurled his body to the wall and rammed him over again with anger and gritted teeth. “ Why! Why?” I asked in disbelief, I couldn't believe that he would do something as devious as this.He looked surprised, his mouth was ajar, he just stared at me as he didn't understand what was happening. His hands were raised, he looked at me innocently with no words, it made me feel bad. I let him go with a thump.He was surprised, pulling himself off the wall as he asked me with a stutter,” What was that for?” I didn't answer him immediately, I was still catching my breath from what I had done to him. I was breathing harshly, holding my chest as I pointed at him in disdain, disgusted by the way he was being nonchalant.So I asked him in clearer terms, “ Did you do this to him?” He looked at him, h
Chapter 78FRANCESCA “ Do something then.” Paolo commanded, blowing at the top of his gun that was letting out smoke. The doctor shook, he went pale seeing his lover in that condition. I'm sure he has never expected it to happen looking at the look on his face. He shook. Like there was nothing inside of him then he looked up dramatically and started walking at the speed of lightning. He fell to his knees, holding the bare cables that let out sparks. He pushed the clothed side, infusing the wires together as he made sure that they were intertwined.The machine suddenly gasped, propelled by force and power. Enzo followed suit, his eyes popped open as he clutched the bedsheet.“ Oh.” I gasped weakly, letting go like I was about to fall off because my body moved back slowly and I looked frail. I looked frail, like I had no energy. But luckily, I was caught from the back by Stefano. He placed his hands on my waist, I looked up at him, biting my lips as I pushed him away.“ Don't you fu
Chapter 79FRANCESCA “ Emi-” I gasped, I was not able to finish my words as he gave me a slap on the face. My face moved to the side, I stared at him in shock. I thought he had brought me into this room for sex, it turns out that it was because of this.But what exactly? He wanted to beat me. I pushed him, sneering at him as I spat at him and said, “ Leave me the fuck alone, Emilio.” He didn't have the chance to shut me up, I brushed against him as I pushed him to the side and was walking to the door. He ran after me, grabbing me by the hand as he aggressively twisted me to the side and pinned my body against the sharp edges of the table. There was little space for me on the table, moreover; I was thrashing and kicking, I wasn't going to let him do this to me.Bang! He pushed off all the documents on the ground, scattering them and destroying them. He was making it obvious that he was here.He picked me up, hurling me on the table as my back slammed against it and there was a cra
Chapter 80FRANCESCA“ Francesca Ferroro.” My mind went blank, I looked lost in his eyes, at bliss and the firecrackers set ablaze as they sparked in the air and filled the sky with their colors. They were bound less.My world stopped for a second, the world stopped and my breath hitched at his words as I looked at him. His words still buzzed in my mind, it kept on throbbing and echoing. It made me question myself as I gulped, looking at him.“ What?” I asked him, looking the other way as the red crept up my cheeks. I didn't understand what he meant, he smiled and laughed. Realization dawned, nausea kicking in my veins. I felt used like he didn't mean it and it was just a mere mockery that I had fallen for so I looked the other way. When he saw my look, he laughed harder as he cupped my cheeks, pulling my face to rest on his forehead.“ Don't you understand English anymore?” My ears rang from his words, I shook my head as I said, “ We shouldn't. We can't.”“ Why can't we?” He exp
Chapter 81 FRANCESA“ It's not what you think.” I said, I was breathing really hard as I stared at the door, Paolo stood at the door with his men as they held their guns.“ What do I think?” He said in a threatening manner as he looked at me, I was speechless, I didn't know what to say to him as I looked on, breathing heavily.I stuttered, I couldn't find the words.I looked around, he wasn't there. I sighed in relief, closing my eyes as I thanked God, then I felt a tug on my leg, I didn't want to move.I knew who it was down there, I didn't need to look, that would make it all suspicious and I had Paolo's eyes on me.“ What is it?” He asked, I shook my head, moving down slowly from the table as I tried to manage my legs that were shaking from the pleasure that I had experienced previously, I kept my head up and tried to keep my breathing steady.I needed to act normal though I wasn't.But if he found out, I could guarantee Emilio's safety but I couldn't for me. He could blow off my
Chapter 82 FRANCESCA “ What?” I exclaimed in shock, jumping off the ground as my legs shook but I ignored the pain as I asked, “ What's wrong with him?” She totally ignored me, looking at Paolo as she said to him, “ He needs you.” That was embarrassing but seeing his cold voice, he didn't look like he cared as he said, “ He's not a child. Why does he need me?” The nurse was stunned, we shared the same reaction as we said, “ But-” He didn't let me continue nor her, he shut me up as he said, “ But nothing. There's nothing you could say that would make me leave here.”He turned to me as he made a clear emphasis on his last sentence, that made me remember the situation I was in right.Crap!I stood still, if he didn't want to leave then I would. With that, I turned and walked off from where I was standing, I tried to pass him but he held me by the arm and pulled me back, “ Where do you think you are going?” He showed off his teeth, his eyes thinned to show how serious he was.That
Chapter 115ENZO Die. I muttered under my breath, I felt like I was betrayed. I couldn't push that feeling away, it came up over and over again. The scene was chaotic, it was the sounds of gun. It filled the environment as I looked up, I saw them walking in through the door and i realized that this was the plan all along and that wedding was just a distraction. Luna, her father and his men walked through the door, they fired gunshots endlessly and there were no men here to protect me, I had no other chance than to move back, I stood in the dark corner and watched this,I tossed my gun away, I didn't want the police to find me with it because I knew that it would very difficult for me to explain. I walked out of the dark shadow, engaging in the battle as we fired gunshots against them. I and Stefano worked together, that was surprising but I belief it was because they shot Francesca. I didn't go to her, she laid in the middle of the fight with blood oozing out of her stomach.I fel
Chapter 114 FRANCESCA “ I'm not.” He immediately declared, he moved backwards as he stared at my belly.I was embarrassed, I took a step forward as I said, “ What do you mean? Are you accusing me of sleeping around?” Paolo looked at us, confused as he said, “ What exactly is happening? Who should we believe?” I was shocked by his words, I was almost moved to tears as I cried out, slamming my fist into my chest as I screamed, “ Me! Believe me.” My voice choked up, my eyes burning with tears flowing from them. Enzo laughed, laughing at me and the man that was in the car with me disappeared,“ This is all a lie!” He yelled, his eyes flared up as he looked at us. I stared back at him, I smiled as I shook my head in a bitter manner. I was trying my best to get his attention, I screamed as I said,“ That's not true, it's your child.” .I ran to him, holding his hand as I said in a loud voice, “ Remember the nights you always filled me with your seeds.” He scoffed, flung my hands to the
Chapter 113FRANCESCA“ No no no. This couldn't be happening.” That was all that went through my head as I watched the whole thing blow out of proportion, it wasn't expected. I didn't know it was going to happen like this, I was shocked to the bones. I tried to keep an expression but it didn't work, at the end I walked up to Enzo, I placed my hand in his and comforted him. I saw that he just looked in one direction, it was that of Stefano, who had his head bowed and I couldn't imagine the amount of betrayal he felt at the moment, I felt pity for him as I placed my hands on his back, The people were evacuated from the hall, we were placed into the cars with good protection from the media that had rushed over, I checked my phone and I couldn't sign at every moment. Enzo looked angry with his palms folded into a fist. The best thing that I could do now was to try to soothe his mood.I tried everything so I placed his head on my shoulder. I knew he wouldn't cry but he needed this. I co
Chapter 112FRANCESCA I couldn't be more happier, it was my big day. Enzo had been acting weird at first but soon, he went back to his usual lovey dovey manner and after that, he proposed, he was going to make the contract a real thing. I couldn't be more happier, I accepted it and since then, there had just been happy moments.Nothing more than that, I had the most enjoyable days with him.I realized that I was bummed out because I never learnt, I didn't ask and I suffered. To make up for that, he didn't want to let it down as he trained with me. He made me his woman and not their woman. The way he did it made me feel special.Soon, the day of the wedding came, the initial plan was to have the bridal train at our place but Paolo pleaded and Enzo felt like we should get on his good side as he obeyed but we were to stay in different rooms. ….I sat at a dresser when there was a knock, I expected it to be the people that were to help me dress but it wasn't. It was Enzo,the groom wasn
Chapter 111LUIGI I saw this as my opportunity, I looked at the boy that just brought a life changing deal with a smile.This was my chance, of course I was going to grab it even if Emilio didn't. I saw him as a child who needed the guidance, he didn't know his left from his right, leading to the downfall of his family. This thoughts made me rejoice, I thought about the perfect day to release this because the people would be shocked. And I also wanted to do this for my daughter, a frown creeped up my face as I realized that this was the reason he didn't want to..What a fool.I shook hands with Stefano and left the venue, as I was in the car, I called one of my sugar babies and headed back into the hotel as I chose a different and vip room. I waited inside for her, very soon, she came in wearing a revealing dress, “ Pull it off.” I said in a stern voice, there was a bubble of excitement and I could hardly control myself as my stiff face turned to a smile, she looked surprised but s
Chapter 110 STEFANO it's been weeks, they left Enzo's manor, it was heavily protected. I couldn't get it in, I woke up in the hospital with a headache as I remembered the book he had hurled at my face. He snooped through my thing, that bastard. So I made a decision, I was going to get back at him in any way I deemed fit. I just waited, waited until I saw the family was back to normal, drinking and celebrating as usual. I watched, looked and I didn't find a common enemy because they all looked like they were far too scared to go against him. That pissed me off, but.. I saw something, I noticed a bit of power struggle between the brothers and it clicked, Emilio is my common enemy.An evil grin shun on my lips as i thought about it but I felt like I was missing one person until I received a text, “ Care to have a drink?” It was from Luna, my lips spread open as i remembered the other person, Her father, Luigi Leopardo. He lost greatly due to the engagement that was cut off thou
Chapter 109FRANCESCA “Yes.” I obeyed, I got to my feet, I was literally shaking. I was scared, afraid that he would notice that something was wrong with me. He didn't cast a glance at me, he looked like he was angry with me as he grabbed me by hand and pulled me up, he looked angry, almost like he could spit fire from his mouth at any time, it was scary.Stefano still stood at that spot, he was knocked out. He had blood stains at the corner of his mouth, his head dangling as I looked at him pitifully. What did he do to deserve this? I didn't say it out loud, I didn't want to incur his rage.I just let him pull me, everything was put at a halt. They got down from the bus, trailing behind me as he pulled open the passenger seat and tossed me into it, it was scary to a fault. He got into the car, placing the key in as he kicked on the brakes so he could speed off, I closed my eyes in fear as I held to my chest. “ Oh god.” I muttered in my mind, closing my eyes and biting my lips.Th
Chapter 108 ENZOA cover? Yes, a cover. That was all I needed, I needed to act based on my emotions and I wanted to find something that I had been letting slide. I needed them right now, they were very important. I didn't know when I made this decision, I knew I didn't want to leave Francesca because I saw the happy look on her face but.. I needed to do this for myself and her. I didn't know when I came up with this idea, maybe it was after I saw the text or when I saw the shadow in Luna's room. There were some clicks, distractions and I had to cut them off to show who I was, Yes, I had to do that. Too bad! My woman was delivered to the wolves on a platter of gold. Though I would get her back, I gave myself an amount of time as I watched the bus move. I didn't move exactly that time, I waited for a while as I knew that my father would have his eyes on me, people that would report his every move.I sat on the bed, looking at my phone as I watched what was happening in the bus from
Chapter 107FRANCESCA Stefano and Paolo. I didn't know who to pick from, I looked from both of them and I looked at other available choices. At the end of the day, I couldn't sit with Luna. She had problems and this ride was going to be long. I didn't want her butting her ass into my problems, I decided to wait by the aisle but as the bus moved, it shook and I also shook.“ Argh!” I had a mix of frustration, my legs were beginning to cramp and the look I received from both men wasn't friendly, it wasn't appreciated.As my eyes flickered, thinking of who was my best option, I caught sight of Emilio. He sat at the back , that was the perfect position. It wasn't cramped up and I had enough space to move away from him. He noticed I was staring at him and looked up, he flashed me an evil smile that made me tremble, I tucked the hair behind my ear as I held onto my bag and walked to him. He saw as I approached, he moved to the side and let me sit down there as I moved to the window. Ste
