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

With everything, with…”“I get it” she interrupted, “yo
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
ARIANA’S POV~“My father is a beast, yes I said it, a beast and a terrorist, a rapist and every other evil and vile thing the criminals do in Italy! I hate him” I said, holding the paper in my hands and shaking with anger as I ruffled it and threw it to the floor.“I hate home, and I never want to go back, my life since moving to Malta has been nothing short of beautiful, the handsome waiter I met last week, finally wants to take me on a nice date, somewhere fancy but instead I've been summoned home by my father,” I said as I threw my handbag to the couch and slumped into it. “TONIGHT!” I screamed, “And that ASSHOLE will also be there”My cousin and best friend in the world, Fiona sat beside me as I cried continuously.“If you refuse this, I'm sure you will be dragged to the plane” she said, sounding sorry for me as she picked up the paper to read its content. “I thought when my father said ‘Do whatever you want, I don't want to see your pathetic face around.’ He meant it, what coul
Mateo’s pov~“Who arrested my useless daughter?” I heard my adopted father, Don Vincenzo Rinaldi thunder as I walked into his office.I stood far from his line of sight, I was not going to soil his mood further just when he was about to acknowledge me among the brotherhood.“What do you mean! What?” he yelled again slamming his cane on the glass table shattering it.I knew something would happen the moment I called Interpol officer, Pius Asissi’s bluff, it was good fun, something to irritate my father but I didnt know he would blow it out of proportion.He slammed the phone on the table, turned and lunged at me almost immediately.“You bastard! You got my daughter arrested!” he growled, “fix it! You get her out and bring her back here tonight! I will not be ridiculed by the other families, calling me weak for not putting my house in order! Or worse think im a snitch! Get her out and quietly, Or else you can kiss your recognition goodbye” he added before releasing my shirt and throwin
Ariana’s Pov~There he is again, in the shadows, peeking and lurking as always.He hasn't changed a bit.The sight of him irritated me I couldn't linger, I walked past him after a nice heartfelt “congratulations”I may be wearing just my undies but I'll make damn sure I move past him in demure.“You haven't apologised for pouring that distasteful coffee at me”I ignored him.He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, “don't walk away from me when I'm speaking Bambino” he said holding my face in his big gruff murderous hands. I pushed him and he grabbed me again.“You asshole let me go” I grunted trying to free my arm from his strong grasp.“Why? Why should I let you go? you have grown over the years” he said looking at my chest and licking his lips.I used all my strength to evade him as I yanked myself free and bolted.A deranged Asshole, he smelled like alcohol too.Thankfully far away from him, I went into a spare room to change into the red gown.I straightened the red fabric to hi
Ariana’s pov~An hour later, Mateo walked out of my room without so much as a backward glance. the past 1 hour of my life had been a whirlwind I chose never to revisit, but I can't help but think that my body will not soon forgetThis man just left so casually after violating me.I held on to my pillows, sweaty and naked on my bed, my hair badly ruffled and the sheets torn beyond recognition.What just happened? Did I let this man do this to me? I just surrendered, just like Chaira did,I felt so sick to my stomach as a sudden feeling of nausea overtook me.This asshole, heartless bastard has just taken my virginity.Like it was nothing! I boiled inside me, I clenched my pillow tightly as I cried into it, I hate him so much, I wish he would die!I quickly gathered myself from my bed and went to the bathroom to soak myself in my own self-loathing.Moments later, I heard a loud knock on the door. I tied my towel and went out, curious to find who was at my door.“Open the door” my step

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

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!

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?
