Elena sighed and stared out of the window as she was locked in a room which looked expensive.She never thought that after getting kidnapped she would be in a luxurious room like this, but she cared less about it.She just wanted to meet their cabo and her kidnapper.She was getting angry at the thought of it.She clenched, her fist ready to punch her kidnaper who wasn't even present there.Its been one hour and still her kidnaper didn't let her known about his existence.
Lorenzo blind folded her on the way and then locked her in a room.Since then she was sitting there being frustrated and angry.As god just listened to her prayer and the door opened catching her attention at whoever it was.Elena frowned a little when she witnessed her kidnapper.Who was none other than Vincenzo Romano himself.He smirked at her and walk to where she was standing now while she was throwing daggers at him with her ocean blue eyes which was amusing him."I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Elena." He said, being amused.Elena scoffed at his words in disbelief.Thinking this man had the guts to say that."And do you think I expected you to kidnap me out of nowhere, Mr.Romano?" Elena said while crossing her arms across her chest with a challenging gaze. "So arrogant, sweetheart."Vincenzo said while rubbing his temples with his gun which he was holding the whole time."Now what do you want from me?Why did you bring me here?Give me a goddamned reason."His face turned serious after hearing her words."I have my own reasons, sweetheart."He placed his gun on the side table and cracked his neck, making a crepitus sound. "I don't know what your problem is, but would you mind telling me the damned reason?"Elena asked, being annoyed.He turned towards her and smirked but soon a little gasp slipped through her mouth when he suddenly pinned her against the wall, making her shocked. "Don't you think you're using your pretty little mouth too much, Elena Martin?"Vincenzo stated in a serious tone. Both his palms were placed beside her head while he slowly pushed his body against her, closing the distance between them.Elena narrowed her eyebrows when she heard her full name from him.She was about to open her, but quickly shut it when he closed the remaining distance between them.She felt his warm heat against her body which was now making her breathlesss."I don't like this attitude of yours.Do you even know whom your talking to right now?"His hot breathing was fanning her face, making her nervous.His intimidating gaze was fixed on her which was making her heart to beat rapidly against her chest while her eyes were locked with his.As she managed to speak. "I-I don't know who you are.Get away from me." Elena mentally slapped herself for sluttering in front of him.She placed her hands on his muscular chest in an attempt to push him, as they were dangerously, closed to each other.His whole body was pressed against her.The temperature in the room was increasing because of their sexual tension.They were so closed to each other that their hot breathing were mixing with each other sending heat to both of their body but he didn't even move an inch."Do you think you can push me away with these pretty little soft hands of yours?" He smirked while she gulped."Just...let me go." She tried to avoid his eyes. "What if I don't wanna let go of you?" A shiver ran through her spine when she heard him say that.He grabbed her chin, making her look him in the eyes.Vincenzo didn't know what was happening to him.Those tense, trembling lips, weak pushes and her sweet scent were making him go crazy.Everyone shivers in fear whenever they were standing infront of him but she wasn't scared at all which made him attracted towards her even more.His beast inside was screaming at him to fuck her until he rip her apart and get over the attraction."You are crossing your limits, don't you think, Mr.Romano?"He only chuckled at her. "Those harsh words of yours just turned me on, sweetheart.Trust me babygirl, you're lucky enough that I haven't fucked you yet since I had to deal with your father."She looked away, feeling her cheeks heating up at his dangerous threat.She was thinking about why he was doing all of this and what business he had with her stepfather?What' with this man?"I don't have a father now. Get away from me!" Elena harshly pushed him away with all her strength this time while he stared at her, being confused at her father's denial.She was about to go towards the door but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, making her bump against his broad chest."You are really something else, huh?Where do you think you're going?And what do you mean by that you don't have a father?Who's James Martin then?" He asked but she only struggled to get away from him.She was trying to free herself but his grip only tightened every time she tried.It was useless.She let out a sigh and looked at him frustrated."Mr.James Martin is not my father. I hate him, that's all."Vincenzo frowned his eyebrows together.He was about to say something but suddenly a knock interrupted them.He loosened his grip on her and she quickly moved away from him, making him raise his one eyebrow.A guard entered the room when Vincenzo granted him permission."Capo we brought him.He's already in the basement."A small smirk appeared on Vincenzo's lips.He left the room while Elena sighed frustratingly, thinking only god knows what he really wants from her.She didn't know that helping a mafia would lead to something like this, but only if she knew.She looked around the room, examining it and thinking if she could get out of it bu then her gaze shifted to where a camera was located on the corner of the room.She scrunched her eyebrows thinking that they were recorded.Elena's POV'All my life I ran behind love. That was the reason why I ended up being a heart surgeon. I even got my first love, but the images are too blurry and livid to remember. I often get flashbacks, but the pictures are still too blurry to figure out due to my Amnesia. Yes! I have that mental illness and curse it on my faith. Why out of all people does it have to be me with that illness? I shouldn't say something like that considering I'm a doctor myself, but I can't help it because, in the end, I'm a human too. I'm human with frustration and anger. I even had some emotional mental breakdown because of it. Considering, I put my past life in blurry pictures instead of remembering all the events. Some beautiful events of which I still get flashbacks about.How has my life turned into swift seconds of moments? How did I get myself into this? Just how? How does saving a life got me into something like this? There are so many questions but no answers! What does this man want from me?
Author's POV'"Aarghhh"A painful scream left the man's mouth when Lorenzo hit his stomach with a steel-poll. He clutched his stomach due to the immense pain. Watching the reaction, a satisfactory smirk appeared on Lorenzo's lips when Thomas started coughing blood. Lifting the steel poll Lorenzo was about to hit him again but stopped hearing the voice behind him."Seems like you are enjoying this a beat too much."Vincenzo said with an arrogant smirk on his face as he enjoyed the view in front of him.Lorenzo chuckled before turning his head towards Vincenzo."I was having a little fun, but since you are here I'll leave this upto you."Lorenzo threw the steel-poll towards Vincenzo, and he caught the heavy object like a ball."By the way, I'm going on a mission to California since my father has asked for it."Vincenzo nodded in anticipation."On your way out, give a visit to my little birdy and ask her to come into the basement."Lorenzo gave a nod of acknowledgment."Anything for you!
Elena's POV'"And now you all are going to pay with your lives."I gulped in fear, hearing the danger lying beneath his threat. Why is he involving me in it? I never did anything wrong to him, so I don't deserve this kind of treatment from him, especially after saving his life."But you saved my life, Amore, so you don't deserve this."Did he hear my thoughts? I shivered internally when he leaned closer and spoke in his dangerously deep voice."And I was thinking about doing something else with you."My eyes widened at his statement. What does he mean by that? I could feel him smirking when he felt the goosebumps on my skin. I was about to question him, but suddenly the door went open, making me freeze in the place after witnessing the person in front of me while he released his hold on me by letting me go completely while his other men caught me."C-Capo, please forgive me."My eyes went cold watching the person in front of me. What is he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be with my m
Author's Pov'Elena was sitting beside her mom on the bed after her mother got discharged out of hospital. Dahlia rubbed Elena's back in a comforting manner after Elena confessed about how her life took a drastic turn. Elena was scared, anxious, sad and nervous. She still doesn't know how to feel about the situation.Her step-dad had just traded her over to Italy's most fierce next-in-line mafia king. She was still digesting the fact that her step-dad could step so low. She had never felt so helpless before. Even after being an independent woman, she felt helpless."I can't see you sad, you know that, right?"Dahlia spoke in her weak voice. She was still recovering."He is destroying my life too, Maa. It seems like all my struggles and handwork are useless."Dahlia broke the hug and looked at Elena."Don't lose hope, Anni. Remember what I taught you?"Elena nodded her head before answering."No matter how difficult the situation becomes, never lose hope."Dahlia smiled."Right! And I
Vincenzo was leaning against the glass window of his luxurious office while smoking a cigarette. A usual smirk plastered on his face as the man in the background groaned in pain."Ahhh!"He groaned painfully again when Vincenzo's men didn't show any mercy to him, because that's what happens when you mess with the wrong person, aka Vincenzo Romano!The man's body hit the ground while he coughed blood. His face was filled with bloody bruises while Vincenzo was enjoying every second of his painful screams and pleads."P-please I beg you.. Let go of my father."He slowly turned his head towards the girl who was tied up in the corner.Vincenzo signaled his men to stop, and they occasionally did, which made that weak man kneel on his bloody knees. Vincenzo approached him with his steady steps yet dangerously. Crouching down at his level, Vincenzo's deadly gaze was piercing through his soul."This is what happens when you try to mess with me."His tone was as dark as his eyes. The man lifted
Lorenzo was about to open his mouth to say something, but the sudden knock on the door caught their attention, interrupting their conversation."Come in!"Vincenzo granted the permission.One of Vincenzo's men entered the hurriedly but bowed a little to show gratitude and respect before alerting him with a news."Capo, sorry to interrupt, but there's an emergency."Vincenzo's eyes sharpened as he waited for him to continue further."Spill!""Capo, Ms. Elena Martin is planning an escape. One of our spy informed us. She's now heading towards the bus stand since she knows that if she uses her car then we will track her within seconds."Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, amused at the fact that there was someone who was not afraid of his friend's wrath. He found it interesting, but he also knew the fact that it's not a big deal for Vincenzo to track his soon-to-be wife whether she's taking her car or not.On the other hand, Vincenzo cracked his neck in annoyance and anger. Looking up at the ceili
"Looks like you want to play hide and seek with me doll?"Saying that he started walking in her direction.Her heart threatened to come outside her ribcage as she was shaking with fear. She gulped before lifting her head but only to be gasped when he pinned her against the window."Found you!"Her breath hitched when she saw his signatory smirk displaying his lips. Elena gulped and tried to get her wrist free from his hold by twisting it, but failed miserably because every time she tried his grip only became stronger and more painful than before.His intermediating gaze never leaving hers as he watched her squirm in his hold. He was holding both her wrists with his one bare hand while holding a gun in another one and caressing her cheek with it.Letting out a heavy sigh, he spoke in his own authoritative yet calm voice."You disobeyed me. Now what should I do with you, doll?"Despite his calm voice, anger was still visible on his face like he was trying to control it with all his guts
Elena's POV'I was struggling against his strong hold on my wrist while he continued to drag me into this hell abruptly. A hell of a house which I have loathed with all my heart since the day I left it all behind to chase my dream life. As soon as we stepped inside upon noticing us, James immediately stood up on his feet from the couch.Rage filled his eyes when his eyes landed on me and shook with the same familiar scary feeling. I gasped when Vincenzo pushed me in front of that bloody monster of a stepfather while he threw daggers at me with his scary eyes. Suddenly, my childhood memories started flashing in front of me."Martins!"I flinched at Vincenzo's sudden rise of tone."Even though you loathe your daughter, but at least keep an eye on her since she is my responsibility from now on, because it is my last warning and if she tries to run again, then I'll make sure to slice your body into pieces first."James gulped visibly in fear and this was the first time I had witnessed him
My eyes fell on the girl who looked innocent and young. She looks like she is in her late teens. She kept looking around and then at the cell phone in her hand. I could feel the eyes on me. Which were none other than his guards.Unconciously I approched her. She's beautiful and has a soft beauty which suits her perfectly. Her hair, long and soft as river silk, fell to the middle of her back in gentle waves, catching the light like dusk on water.It framed her face in the most effortless way, as if even the wind had learned to be gentle around her. Her features were delicate—cheekbones like petals, a nose barely a breath, and lips the shade of early blush roses. She looks perfect in all angles.There was something in her eyes, too—not just the color, which was some impossible hue between honey and storm—but the way they held stories, even when she wasn’t speaking. You’d look at her and feel that she had seen the world with a kind of softness that refused to harden, no matter what it ha
Elena's POV'The gown I wore this evening did not shimmer, nor did it boast the ostentation of embroidery or gemstones. It needed no such embellishments. It was elegance distilled—a quiet kind of power. The fabric, a deep, velvety midnight blue, clung to my form with the grace of twilight, wrapping around me, smooth and assured.The neckline swept just below my collarbone, revealing the delicate strength of my shoulders, while the sleeves, long and tapered, ended in a gentle point at the wrists—as though time itself had traced my outline with reverence. The bodice was cut to accentuate without demanding attention, sculpted in a way that whispered confidence rather than cried for it.The skirt flowed—neither too voluminous nor too tight—falling in fluid lines to the floor, where it gathered slightly like a sigh at my heels. With every step, the fabric moved with me, as if it too was under my spell. No ornamentation distracted from the pure, solid hue of the gown. Its beauty was in its
Author's POV'Before Elena could make a move by turning around, he grabbed her wrist, making her bump hard against his muscular chest, which was draped with a black leather jacket and black t-shirt beneath it, not to mention his black jeans. He was dressed casually today aside from his usual signatory formal attire."Still trying to run away from me, amore?"Her breath hitched at his deep voice and close proximity. Even if she had lived in Italy before. She still didn't understand it fully, but she was trying her best.She still didn't know what he called her in Italian, but she was sure to find it out. Her wrist was pinned behind her back by him and a shiver ran down her spine. It always does. Whenever she's with him. She can't help to shiver in his company."Even after what happened last night?"His intense voice snapped her out of the haze and a crimson red appeared on her already rosy cheeks. Since this morning, she had been trying her best not to recall their last night's encount
A yawn left my mouth, but I refused to sleep as I kept staring at his peaceful sleeping face. A conclusion popped up in my mind. So he does sleeps with me. The only difference was he left bed before I woke up.Which is somehow disappointing even if I deny it all the time, but guess what? I can't run from reality, can I? I have already witnessed what happened when I actually tried to run.I didn't sleep since he left me breathless and gave me the best orgasm ever. I never knew that it could bring me this beautiful pleasure. My cheeks flame with shyness. What am I even thinking? But I can't help but think about it because I don't even remember my past or someone who has touched me this way?Is there anyone who has touched me this way? If I force my mind to think about my past where I have lost my memory, then it will only hurt my mind. Which I can't afford. My psychiatrist advised me to never force my brain to remember the things I desperately wanted.But the loss of my memory is making
I can see his eyes darkened at my words, so I try to make him understand or whoosh out any other misunderstanding that crosses his mind."But not anymore. It was just a mere attraction, I swear. I don't feel anything about him, Vincenzo.""Like I would let you feel anything about that fucker."I gulped at his serious tone while he still smelled like alcohol, but it did not look like he was actually drunk or anything. Maybe he has good alcohol tolerance."You won't think about any other man but me, is that clear?"I nodded my head frantically at his dark dominance."Use that pretty mouth of yours just like you did the other day."I felt my cheeks burning up at his statement. I don't even have to guess which day he was referring about. The day when I went down on him for the first time."Yes!"He looks at me still unsatisfied."Say yes daddy."My eyes widened, and my lips parted slightly in shock."W-What?"I asked, still processing his words."You heard me."I stared stunned at the det
Elena's POV'I was sitting by the pool side while my feets were under the cool water. I was feeling relaxed and calmer. It feels like today's day was less tough than yesterday. I almost laughed at the choice of my words. Do I really think that my life will be normal as it used to be, even if not perfect, but I was still on my own?Making food, buying groceries, clothes, taking care of my mother. I was independent, doing my dream job until the devil thought to come and destroy everything he could. Now my days are filled with no work but a spoiled princess in a castle. I could only nag about it.I miss Eva so badly. The last time I talked with her was the day she helped me escape Vincenzo. I was dying to ask her if she was okay? Because the risk she took for me by helping me meant her relationship with her husband. I even miss Arianna and now that I can't talk to them. I'm feeling a bit lonely.I can't even contact Kai given to Vincenzo's anger, because he thinks I'm seeing Kai behind hi
Author's POV'Elena stepped onto the balcony since everyone was busy, which left her bored. Her cheeks turned red, recalling their kitchen encounter. She had never seen him being this soft, so it was new for her.She took a deep breath when cold breezes from spring hit her delicate skin, making her smile a little. Her long blonde hair flew with the flow of a windy breeze. Nature has the power to heal us even without trying. All you have to do is embrace it and your mind will be fresh."I should tour around this mansion instead of walking like a workless shit."Her hair started to cover her face, making her groan."I feel like an actress in the shampoo advertisement, but the only difference is that I look like a witch with hair covering my face."She tried to remove her hair strands."Why the hell does reality always go against expectations?"She said while fighting with her hair. While she was still busy fighting with her hair, her eyes fell on a familiar figure in the garden while ta
Vincenzo's POV'A sudden gasp left my wife's lips when I wrapped my arms around her from behind. It took a few seconds for her to adapt to my touch and her body stiffened as soon as she recognized my touch.A proud smirk appeared on my lips. She knows my touch well enough to ignore the changes in her body. That's the thing I love about her. There are many things I love about her and the thing which I love most about her is her defiance.The fire in her eyes which seems to be gone not completely, but she is still being careful enough to not show her defiance in front of me. She is still careful while choosing her battles in front of me.She still hasn't moved not even an inch, which made me smirk. I tightened my grip around her and, leaning down, I buried my face in the crook of her neck, which made her shiver. -I like it."What do you think you are doing, mi amore?"I whispered against her neck and felt her release a sigh. Maybe this was turning her on. I love to pull these reactions
I stepped out of the bathroom while wrapping a towel around me, but last night's scenes made my cheeks flush as, once again, embarrassment took over me. I can't help but to think about them frequently since this morning- and not to mention that he left me alone once again in bed. Does he ever sleep on the same bed as me?I sighed."I don't care if he sleeps with me or not."I shrugged my shoulder."Instead, I should be grateful that the devil at least let me sleep at night all by myself without scaring the shit out of me."I inhaled deeply as, once again, the same shame eats me out. I'm embarrassed about how I came around his fingers just because he spanked me. That was too intense. I gulp getting last night's reminders."Oh god! Please dig a hole for me, so I can actually hide in it."And even more angry at myself for letting him man handle me. How dumb am I? I'm so pitiful that every time he touches me I forget everything else around me. It's so shameful when I actually -hate him.
