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 nothing, they sat back and relaxed while the drama unfolded. “Serena always had this annoying soft spot for you, and now she has colluded with her father’s enemies to try and save you! What does she get? Fucking Massimo's I can't believe it” Luna started, she set the dog she was holding down and watched it prance around the fitting room. “She knows now that you are a waste of time, you do not deserve her, she saved you for nothing, you are just a brother fucking whore” Sophia said under her breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear. Liana sipped from her wine glass and focused on the magazine in front of her, “maybe when she finally becomes an argento she will learn some manners, after the child is born I may yet convince Silvio to let her spend some time at Massimo’s” she interjected. “She’s still pregnant? You want her to give your son a bastard to raise?” my stepmother inquired, facing Liana. “My child is not a bastard, he has a father and he won't be raised by any other” I retorted, everyone turned to look at me, shock evident on their faces. “Mateo is dead? Isnt he? Or is there a third party you have been hoeing yourself to?” Luna inquired moving closer to me. My lips trembled, how could I have made such a calculative mistake, “I don't care, he is not a bastard and he will never call Silvio father” I replied. Liana was visibly upset, she got up and walked to where I was, she splashed her remaining wine on my face, it trickled down and splashed on the gown her dear son picked out for me. “You should be proud to be a member of my family! We are as ancient as the country itself, the argentos were there at the origin of Italia, and we will be there till the end! Your bastard son would be lucky to be raised in the ways of true argento men!” she yelled. “I never wanted to marry your son, nor did I want to be married to my dead husband, you all can't even see how empty and miserable you all are, succumbing to the will of these old pathetic men, teaching your sons and your brothers how to use you to their advantage” I started, there was silence in the room. “I know what father does to you girls, and I'm sorry I didn't see it on time,” I said facing Luna, whose face was lathered in shame, “and you” I started facing Sophia. “you think Silvio is going to protect you when your father marries you off to clear his debt, but you think wrong, I can assure you, your brother and father already have your life planned out, they are just waiting for the right person to sell you to” I finished, her eyes were watery, the truth hurts but it is what it is. “How dare you! My brother loves me and he would never! You are just bitter because you wanted to be free and you got the short end of the stick” she yelled back in response. “Mother, did you hear that?” she asked turning to her mother, liana sat back on the couch, picked up the bottle of wine and poured herself another. She was quiet, she knew it was the truth. “Mother!” she called again, she was still silent as she sipped from her glass. Sophia‘s face lit up in realization, and then fury, I knew she would never accept the truth, so she lunged at me, I jumped out of the way and she crashed into the flower vase behind me. Everyone rushed to help her up, “you fucking bitch!” she screamed, as she tried to grab me again but her mother pulls her back. “Enough! You can't harm her your brother will get upset, and you know how he is!” her mother cautioned. She bawled her eyes out on the ground where she sat for a few minutes, my stepmother and Maria stood there quietly watching. “I think it's my cue to leave, I can't continue to see your disgusting face, I saw you come through here and we thought to say hello before the wedding,” she said before gesturing to Luna, both of them walked out of the shop, with luna and her dog following closely behind. “Well this dress is ruined” I said turning to the attendant. “you can run along and tell your madam that I'll be picking out another dress,” I said giving her a weak smile, she nodded and left the room. “Let it go, Sophia, you can have anything you want, but you need to let it go” her mother cautioned her, sophia got up and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.“Fine!” she replied facing me, “you know what I want Mother?” she started, I looked away from her, I was done exchanging words with an immature adolescent.
“A circus” she answered, I grinned to myself, “a circus at the rehearsal dinner” she finished, II turned to look at her, I was taken aback by this odd request, “you can't be serious?” I interjected, clowns? Is she serious? I hate clowns! how did she know that? Liana looked at me, a smile creeping on her face, “it is done” “What!” I screamed.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 clenche
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 partner, he
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 moving cl
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, like s
Ariana’s pov~On the night before I was to marry another man, my husband appeared from the shadows, I couldn't believe it.“Mateo, I thought…” my words were cut short by the light kiss he planted on my lips.He kissed me? Mateo kissed me, his eyes were deep, and I could feel the guilt they carried.“my son…is he okay?” He asked stroking my hair.I didn't understand this new him, this was not the Mateo I knew.For the first time, he was gentle with me.“Yes, we are okay” I replied, I could see worry in his eyes, I had never seen this side of Mateo before, even as children.“I should never have let you out of my sight, since our wedding day it has been one chaotic event after the other” he stated. I sighed at the memories of what the past month had been. “Never gave me the chance to touch you, to feel your soft lips, and show you my world” he mentioned.I looked at this tall handsome man staring into my eyes, taking small glances at my full breast trying to breathe in the gown I wore.
Ariana’s pov~“ Mateo, is this the right place for this? I know I owe you this for saving me but this is crazy” I started, finding every excuse not to do this.Guilt ripped me apart as I stayed lost in my thoughts, on one hand, I longed for this in a way.His attention was something I always envied about my friend, Chiara until she almost killed herself.“Still thinking” he smiled, I gasped softly and looked at him, how did he know that? Mateo managed to get himself up from the bed and winced in pain. He moved closer to me, looked down at my lips and then to my eyes where I met his gaze.I saw that he wanted me, the way his eyes roamed mine turned something on in me.“ Come with me, baby doll” he grinned, pulling me toward the wall close to the wardrobes.“Where are you going, Mateo? That’s the wall” I reminded him.“Do you trust me?” he asked pulling me to his hard chest. He wrapped his arm around my waist before looking down at me.I was awestruck. Is this the same Mateo who hat
Ariana’s Pov~“FIND HER!” I heard Silvio's voice thunder loudly.The walls around us shook below the tunnel.“No one sleeps until she is found!” he growled loudly and then I heard a loud bang.From the look of things, Silvio has come in to find my room empty and his guards are puzzled.No one knows I'm down here.With Mateo…..I looked back at Mateo who still had his hard shaft in his hand, stroking it as his dirty eyes traced every outline of my tender body.I was already dressed in the slutty outfit Mateo gave me.My boobs looked fuller, thanks to the little one nesting inside me and I noticed my hips were starting to widen much to my amazement.I stood in front of the huge mirror by the wall and admired my body.Even I was tempted to touch myself.I can't believe he had it here and had planned to bring me here all along.“Ariana….” I heard him call my name, my entire body was tense and I was scared to death.What happens when Silvio walks in on Mateo and me? With Mateo injured, he
Mateo’s pov~“I will hurt you” I heard her say before she slid out from my groins, I let out another moan as I felt her wet pussy brush against my hard dick.I held on to her desperately, not wanting her to leave me.“Ariana..” I moaned again, but she ignored me as she stood in front of me, she turned and walked toward the centre of the huge room where a table lay, she stopped in front of it.“How best can I hurt you, Mateo,” she asked running her fingers through the variety before her.“Ariana..” I called out to her, I watched her sway her hips as she ignored me again.I liked it, I liked this new her, I never knew this side of Ariana.Chiara had told me lots about my adopted sister which disgusted me.I couldn't believe I was one door away from a natural freak all my teenage years and im just finding out about it.Chiara had been useable, but she turned out to be boring i had to discard her as soon as possible.“Do you like pain Mateo?” she asked in a different tone I had never he
