Ariana's POV~ “I heard footsteps approaching and I quickly ran into the room just adjacent to the one holding Serena, I heard it stop, and then a knock followed. “still alive in there daughter?” I heard a voice belonging to my father call, but Serena didn't respond, and then I heard a loud kick on the door with his cane. “You should have come straight to me instead of running to Mateo, you traitorous bitch, have I taught you nothing?” he said, and more silence followed. “ you know I knew sooner or later, that swine would fuck one of you, with Ariana away I thought you could seduce him the day of the boat party, what? He didn't find you appealing enough? You know this is crucial, and now the useless daughter I can't control is the one holding all the fucking cards” he continued. My heart broke, not for me but for Serena, all this while I had judged her so harshly when all the while she had been doing our father’s doing. My eyes started to water, and I felt ashamed, for leaving my
Ariana’s pov~ I didn't look back as i bolted past the guests to my room, I quickly entered, locked the door and slid the key out through the small hole on the floor i watched it slide over to the edge of the flower pot outside. Perfect! I will recover it back when he comes in I'll distract him long enough to get it back, I have to keep my promise to Serena. Soon i heard footsteps approaching as i was changing into my nightie, i couldn't finish so i jumped halfway into bed and waited for the beast holding me captive. “Fuck! Where’s the key!” I heard Silvio yell, im guessing he must have looked around, “fuck! must have fallen off” he added. “shit! there it is” he exclaimed. He slotted the key in and not long after he opened it. "my beautiful wife” he started, I ignored him. I was instantly disgusted by his presence, yet I was afraid to look at him, there was this horrid attraction I had to him that made me question my sanity. the mere thought of him just desperately wanting m
Ariana’s pov~Silvio let me out on Thursday morning, to try on my wedding gown but I was heavily guarded, one was always with me, and I suddenly missed Alfredo. He was much calmer, and Silvio's guards were more like watchdogs.“Can you let me breathe? Will you also follow me to the ladies!” I exclaimed, kicking him.I was insanely irritated, I didn't know if it was the pregnancy hormones or something that made me act out this way, but I was utterly irritated. “ I'm just following orders, I'm never to leave your side” he replied, “I'm going to wait outside the door for you” before gesturing toward the ladies.“You and your boss are just fucking crazy,” I said, he was quiet, I turned and walked to the ladies. I went in and locked the stall, I took a deep breath and felt the urine trickle out of Me. “Mmmmm” the feeling sent a calm sensation through my body. “Ariana” a voice called, fear ripped through my body, “who is there?” I asked, looking around my four-walled stall. “It's me,
Ariana’s pov~“I know you let it happen! I know you are the reason Serena got sent off to Massimo’s island! I couldn't get here fast enough to convince your father to send you instead! The horrors she will face! My poor child” my stepmother yelled, she clenched Tomas’s hand too roughly, and the child winced in pain, I smiled at my uncomfortable baby brother. “Mama” he called weakly but his mother didn't hear him, she was enraged, I gathered myself from the floor and faced her. “You are hurting me mama” he called again. She turned to him, “How did I give birth to a weakling like you! Get out of my sight, you disgust me!” she yelled at the boy, she let go of his hand and he ran out of the building. one of the bodyguards took hold of him before he could cross the road. “Hello to you too step-mother, I didn't know you would be coming to the wedding, seeing how you missed the first one,” I said, straightening the gown Silvio picked out. Liana and Sophia looked at each other and said n
MATEO’S POV~ That sick bastard is throwing a rehearsal, a rehearsal on how to wed my wife!, my mind raced like I was an equine on the racetrack, I was a raging fire burning from the inside, and I had doubts in my mind. I wouldn't admit it to myself but I was afraid, afraid that Silvio may very well be on his way to convince her to stay with him. I have to save Ariana, if I don't, she belongs to Silvio, and he will win. I can't have that. I knew Julius would do a sloppy job of sneaking in to see Ariana, I should have gone, I held my side and clenched the rails of the verandah, I looked out into nature, julius and I had to rent out this cabin close to Silvio’s grounds, still his estate was miles away. I saw Julius come out from the woods. “You shouldn’t be out here Mateo, everyone thinks you are dead”, I winced in pain as I put my hand down. “you took too long, I knew you had fucked it up when I heard them call more guards from the scanner,” I said looking at him with my jaws cl
Mateo’s POV ~I followed the tiramisu circus into the hall, everywhere was beautifully decorated, and it sickened me. It was easy, but the cast members didn't know that their Joe Simmons would wake up in the forest in a few hours. I looked around the hall, to see if I would catch a glimpse of Ariana, but I couldn't find her. I found Silvio, he was standing among senior peers of the brotherhood, getting acquainted, getting leverage. I saw my father laugh heartily and gave him a pat on the back, “my son is in good hands” I heard his father say. I bet they already secretly discussed how to share the spoils of my sudden demise. No, he will be dead in my hands soon, the image of Silvio’s dead boy flashed through my mind, and I longed for the day. The tiramisu circus started to act in formation. I had been watching them practice before they conveyed here, giving me ample opportunity to grab unsuspecting Joe after the practice. I fell behind the other clown, he was my performing partn
Ariana’s pov~Silvio threw me softly and I landed on the bed with a light thud, “im never going to be yours! You can take me anywhere, I don't care if you take me to Massimo’s island, I'll still never be yours, my child will never call you father!” I exclaimed loudly, I watched him clench his fist in anger as he looked straight at me.“I've tried to give you chances! But it seems you derive joy in humiliating me when the opportunity presents itself” he started. “I'm warning you, Ariana, I don't want you to meet the other side of me,” he added. “Silvio you need to let me go, I can't be your wife, I don't want to” I replied subtly. “I don't want this life '' I retorted. “I never did, my father forced me into this! I know you have a woman in Florence, you love her don't you?'' I inquired, I watched Silvio's gait change as he tilted sideways and looked away. “Gloria has nothing to do with anything, she’s just my mistress, she can never be anything more than you..” he mentioned movin
MATEO’S POV~Clowns! Why did I think that would work? she didn't even know it was me, Silvio was dangling vain riches in front of her and she dared to sob! All this weakness is running through my child, he should be taught how to conquer! He should be listening to my voice. Here I am hiding behind a servant’s tray and gliding through the crowd, serving all who are beneath me because of you, Ariana.I turned behind fat Gregori and positioned the tray to cover a good amount of my face, I watched as Silvio’s lover elegantly walked in and offered my wife flowers. I saw Silvio’s face turn into a nasty scowl, he wasn't expecting this, but of course, I had to anonymously inform his hidden mistress that she was about to lose the battle. Just a little trick from his handbook.He was about to speak, but his sister came to his defence. “What are you doing here Gloria?” she asked walking over to her and settling a few paces in front of her brother, I always found it odd that she did that, lik
ARIANA’S POV~Mateo coming back has been a blessing, he left his life behind and he now lives with us on the island.But something kept bothering him, “Mateo what’s going on with you?” I asked handing him a cup of cocoa.Alessio came running in and he sat on his father’s knee, “papa ball” he requested.“Soon my boy” Mateo giggled excitedly,He finally told me everything, everything that weighed heavy in his heart, everything about his parent's death, to Becky’s revenge and what they were after.“He adopted me to find out if I had a key in my possession and I think it's the same key Fiona handed you the day of the shower” he concluded.“The key?”I hadn't thought about the key in so long, I'd kept it away, and it had bad memories attached to it.I got up and went in, it should be along my things.As I did I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, only it wasn't me.She grinned from ear to ear as she motioned for me to come closer, and I did.“Cayenne” I started.“We finally meet, did
MATEO'S POV~The last thing I remembered was a gunshot piercing me before I landed on the ground, I awoke on a bed, I blinked and I felt a wet towel going over my hot body.I tried to get up, “Mateo, stop you need to rest” she started, i opened my eyes.“Micola?” I called, she smiled and took my hand in hers, “yes it's me, you sustained a serious gun wound” she stated, I winced in pain, and I tried to find the source.“At this point, I might as well be studied” I joked as I sat up.I coughed and blood followed.“Your lungs were affected, the doctors said you would have to cough out the rest of the clumps when you wake up, are you okay?” she announced.I nodded, “I'll be fine” She helped me sit straight on the bed rest and put a glass of water in my hand.I gulped it down in one go and gave it back to her, “micola” I started, she dropped the cup and looked away.“I'm sorry about the way we ended things, I just… it's different now. With everything, with…”“I get it” she interrupted, “yo
ARIANA’S POV~Don Argento couldn't believe it, his son was before him, he ignored his wife and daughter, slowly he walked toward Silvio who welcomed him.“I'm afraid I can't do that, Silvio, but I should start by welcoming you back from the dead” I applauded his bravery, I didn't care if I was a one-man army right now.“That deal should never have happened,” he continued.“No deal Silvio, I'm not selling my wife to you, I hate to break it to you but there’s bad news my friend” Mateo stated.My mind was made up after last night, there was no hope that he would ever change.He is always going to remain a beast, and now Silvio is back, from the dead.My hunch was right after all, and from the look on my proud father’s face, I could tell he was in on this. “Mateo, im asking you nicely, I have you surrounded, you should not have touched what was mine, you knew it and you did it anyways” Silvio flared.Mateo laughed, “she was never yours and she never will” Mateo boasted.His haughtiness i
ARIANA’S POV~The night of the party finally arrived, micola had dropped her resignation that morning and an air of dread lingered around it.We never found Estella, somehow Emiliano had sneaked her out, along with my father’s written will.I shuddered under the weight, Scared to face the unknown.Im not going to let everything I've lived for go down the drain, because I was so distracted.I had to keep up the pretences with Ariana. The only ones who knew about it were the three of us.Three of u except Fiona... I have to find her before she tells someone else, I always knew she would turn on her in the end, she’s a woman after all.I wondered what happened, but that wasn't important right now.I headed upstairs, a box in my hand, to the room I once shared with Ariana, I opened the door and there she stood by the window.She rubbed her curved belly and I could her muttering to herself before she acknowledged her presence.A child I'd been looking forward to calling mine, my heir… all
MATEO’S POV~I saw micola on the way back to my office, I knew Julius had left earlier so I motioned for her to join me.As he closed the door to my office I pulled her to me and devoured her hungry lips with a kiss.She gasped for breath as she held on to me for balance, I let her go and started to take off my clothes.“I see Don Mateo is back” She grinned from ear to ear, her eyes looking sinister.“Take your clothes off” I growled, throwing my clothes into a corner, “oh now you want me?” she teased.“Take it off” I repeated, this time I walked towards her, then grabbed her, threw her against my desk and perked her ass up.I spanked her violently, just the way she liked it, then I dug my nails into her neck, I drew blood and she moaned in pleasure.“Yes this is the Mateo I've been craving” she moaned loudly.I ripped my belt off and soon my pants had dropped, I rammed my hard dick inside her, she was already wet from the violence that is her life.“Yes” she moaned as she sniffled in
ARIANA’S POV~“You shouldn't be here Enzo please leave” I pleaded, but he wouldn't leave, he walked up to me and soon his mouth was ravenously devouring mine.I pushed him off me and slapped him, “What the hell is wrong with you!” I exclaimed angrily.“Ariana, I can't stop thinking about you, never have, never will, and now you are carrying my baby, I just can't stay away from you cayenne..” he moaned kissing my hands.“Enzo you need to stop this, if Mateo finds out about this, he will kill us, he won't care if we once knew each other” my anxious voice gave me away as I shuddered from the thought of Mateo’s wrath. “we need to find a way to escape from here not this!” He groaned in frustration, “Mateo! Mateo! Mateo! Ariana, it's always about Mateo, what about us, what we had!” he exclaimed angrily.“It wasn't real, it was just a week! One week Enzo, it wasn't love!” I tried to make things clear to him but his incessant insisting that we were madly in love was starting to reach peak lu
MATEO’S POV~I should listen to the tape.But not until I prove to Ariana that I can be the man she wants me to be.“Is everything set?” I inquired looking around the beautifully decorated room, I smiled to myself.Proud of my accomplishment, today I will throw my wife a surprise baby shower.I sent out invitations to the people I could, but I couldn't get a hold of her stepmother and sister.The best I could do was Micola, and a few of her friends, Estella, and some maids.It's the thought that counts right?“Yes sir, all we have to do now is wait to surprise her” the maids giggled with glee.I spent no expense on the lavishness of this party.“She just pulled into the driveway sir” one of the guards reported, “good, places everyone!” I yelled and everyone hid.Micola was physically annoyed and she wouldn't hide, something was going on with her and Julius and she wouldn't tell me.I didnt bother to ask, soon the doors opened, and Ariana and Enzo stepped in, they were engaged in a hea
ENZO’S POV~Her lips parted to welcome me into her warmness. It was just like magic how Fiona suddenly appeared when I thought precisely of her. That moment we had in the tunnels, the image of Ariana flashed in my mind, and I couldn't stop thinking about her.Not when I thought she was back in Malta waiting for me.I pulled up her shirt, “what the hell! We are right in the hallway!” she yelled before pushing me off her.Then she slapped me hard across the face and I clenched my jaws. “what the hell do you think you are doing? Where the hell is the tape you stole you asshole!” she exclaimed angrily.I didnt care about any of that, I just wanted to devour her.As she complained about my lack of human compassion I noticed a nurse come out of an empty room.I grabbed Fiona and pulled her towards it, “Hey! Let go!” I opened the door and a nurse was inside folding the sheets.Two other people were in the room, they were in tears and it irritated me.“Everyone get the fuck out!” I thundered
Ariana’s pov~“Ariana, what the hell is going on here? Two babies? When did this happen? Who the hell are Donors A and B?” she questioned nonstop, and my mind was reeling.My world, everything I've come to know about myself is over.It's been Cayenne pregnant All this while, a sister I thought I made up in my head truly exists….I'd been admitted for observation, the doctor wouldn't let me leave and I begged her not to call Mateo.She was honoured to thank Fully,“It's a whole lot, Fiona, I met a guy before I came back to Italy,” I started.“The waiter?”“Yeah, he is the father of the baby,” I confessed.“You fucked him?” she exclaimed in shock.“I didn't, Cayenne did? How do I explain this to Mateo Fiona?” I shrieked, my hands sweating with anxiety.“Shit!” she cursed, “the last time he thought I had an affair he killed him, without a moment’s thought. I'm living with a total maniac” I continued, my voice shaky.“Mateo, he is not a kind man Fiona, he is crazy and obsessed with me, h
