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 83 ENZO I woke up with a bitter taste on my tongue.“ Water.” I called out in panic but my voice reverberated in the room, there was no one there. I thought it was just my ears, my eyes couldn't fail me so I looked around and to my despair, there was no one there.I was left alone.I felt my eyes burn, the hot tears spilled off my eyes in panic. This was the first time I felt that way, so I called out softly,“ Francesa.” It was soft, barely a whisper, though I didn't know why I thought she would be here to care for me.But she wasn't, she wasn't here for me and I couldn't imagine where she was. My hands moved to the bedspread, grasping it in my grip as I cried softly.My eyes burnt and my chest ached.I was in the hospital, I didn't want to be here. I screamed out, trying to find my voice and get someone's attention but I only succeeded in pulling out the syringe that was tucked into my skin then the blood splattered and my veins constricted as I whined in pain.“ Oh God.
Chapter 84 ENZO I shook all over as I looked at my father, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared at my father without batting an eyelid, I was shocked to the bones, I laid at the dead body that was right in front of me.Blood.I felt nauseous, I placed my hands over my mouth, trying to stop the vomit from leaving my mouth as I glared at him.That was the nurse, the nurse that I had sent off to go look for my father. He killed her, I just watched.Francesa looked relieved to see me.What did he do to her? She was bleeding, there were scratches all over her face, her lips were bleeding, her head had an injury.And I was sure it was Paolo.He did this to me and now he was doing the same to her, he was becoming a beast. He was the worst, I couldn't stand looking at him as I snarled, walking over the dead body with a heavy heart.My leg mistakenly stepped on her face, shutting her eyes that were wide open.This made me feel more nauseous, I glared at him, looking at the men that he had ga
Chapter 85 FRANCESA“ Enzo.” I gasped.I was shocked to see him, he was standing by the side with a shaky look. He didn't look sick, I judged the look in his eyes, he looked like he was about to run mad.Just as I stood by the side, shaking with blood all over. I was traumatized, I saw the head of Emilio, he was peeping at me from the side. This made my breath hitch, I didn't know what he was doing but based on the look in Enzo's eyes, if he saw him then he wouldn't help me but he would join hands with Paolo and beat the living death off my body.So I mouthed, “ E- N- Z- O” It was slowly, he understood and his eyes widened in shock as he ducked and placed his head back into the hole. I let out a sigh of relief, then I looked at Enzo, I looked at him with a burning look and in a moment, he leaped to my side but he didn't hold me, he held Paolo by the back.Everything was getting chaotic, he wasn't letting him go and the guards were concentrating on him but they didn't come closer. T
Chapter 86FRANCESSA“How could you?” I screamed at him.I didn’t know what got into me but I just knew that I was holding him by his collar and shaking him profusely with tears hanging by the corner of my eyes, I was boiling in rage and I couldn’t take how inhumane he was being to his own son.That was brutal.Despicable.The room thinned down, the only thing that could be heard in the room was the sound of the air being sieved off our lungs, everything had left. That was nothing else, the tension in the room was at its peak; I was gasping for air but there was none.I didn’t still let go.He looked at me with cold, shrewd eyes. He looked down at me while the others held their breath from how daring I was at this moment, all eyes were on me, his men were there: holding their weapons and waiting for his command.And I would be gone.It was just a matter of minute and he would do it but he wasn’t doing it, he was letting me hold on to him. As time passed, I calmed down. I realized what
Chapter 87FRANCESCA“Enzo!” I gasped,I ran to his side, pushing the guards that were by side aside as I held his cold hands in mine and rubbed on it anxiously with smile on my face while droplets of tears ran down my face, I couldn’t even breath. I was overwhelmed, filled with happiness as I looked at his face that looked like it had regained color.But he pulled his hand away from mine, stretching them out to the position that Paolo stood as he muttered shakingly, “F-father.” I felt touched, looking over at Paolo. He didn’t move a spot, he just stood there, looking at him with a cold smile.Then it turned into laughter, he lifted his finger, pointing at each one of us as he said, “You all.” It was steady and slow at first but as he looked on, saw Stefano moving over and placing his hand on my back, rubbing on it to calm me down as I broke down with Enzo’s hand a few inches from mine. He didn’t want me.He cackled, bursting out in rage as he roared, “Teamed up against me! Me? The
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
