~ STEPHEN KING
I felt someone shake me lightly waking me up from my dreamless slumber. I opened my eyes, Ella was smiling at me.
"Ma'am we have reached our destination." It took me a while to remember where I was and what destination she is talking about.
Oh yeah I'm married and in italy now. I gazed infront of me to look for my husband who was no where to be seen.
Ella must have noticed it "sir is waiting for you outside." I nodded and stood up slowly, a blanket fell from my lap on the floor. I'm sure I slept without any blanket, it must be Ella who covered me.
"Thank you" I smiled at her only to receive a confused look but she smiled back nonetheless.
I walked outside. The warm October air hit my face, The sun was hiding behind some clouds giving a beautiful orange red colour scenery.
Outside there were 20 cars with 4 guards standing with each car. Angelo was standing with A

"It may not be home but it is an adventure."~UNKNOWNAntonio opened my door and held his hand out for me, when did he came here so fast? I gently grabbed his awaiting hand and moved out of the SUV.I started walking behind him. We climbed 3 small steps and came in front of the beautiful front door, I could tell it was made of expensive wood, it had round circle shaped handles on each of the two doors to knock with, it was royal type.Before Antonio could ring the bell. The doors were opened by someone, it was like they opened by themselves because there was no one in sight to greet us.Antonio tugged my hand gently and I continued to go inside with him. We entered through the door, I looked around and saw that there was actually an old lady standing besides the door with her hands folded in front of her.She must be the one who opened the doors, she wore a neat maids dress with her greying hairs in a tight bun. She was old but had a kind aura aro

Be somebody nobody thought you could be.~UNKNOWNI woke up by some sounds, I fluttered my eyes open and was confused for a second then I realized I was no longer at home with the feeling of comfort of people I love surrounding me.Now I'm in a whole new country with strangers and apparently married. Married? Alessandro? I rememberedThen again I heard some sounds that were coming from the washroom, I think it's Alessandro. The thought made me nervous."On" I spoke softly and the dark room was filled with light. I glanced around the room and their on the sofa his waist coat was placed, that he wore at our wedding.I stared at it for sometime. Should I leave it or place it in the closet neatly like a good wife. Mom would've been proud if I did the latter.I sighed and moved out of the bed, I picked up the coat and gazed at it.It had blood spots on it which made me shudder in disgust, as I was about to make my way to the closet the wash

Stars, hide your fires: Let not light see my black and deep desires.~WilliamShakespeareI woke up after a much needed beauty sleep. I stretched then turned around to see the other side empty.I was kind of relieved to find that Alessandro left early, I didn't wanted to face him after my rant last night.I looked around the room it was dark, even though it was morning I checked the time it was 10:07 am. The sun was up but the curtains were closed.I was feeling suffocated by this darkness I wanted light. I quickly went to the curtains and opened them without wasting a moment.Instantly the warm rays of the sun hit my skin and the room was bright with the natural light. I smiled feeling that I can breathe now.I hated it when mom used to wake me up like this she would come in my room and open the curtains all the way making the light hit my face directly, but now I realize how important this natural light is.It gives you a fee

Follow your soul, it knows the way.~UnknownTwo days.Two days since Alessandro left me in this dark place, two days since I have seen light, two days since I've seen any human, Two days since I've eaten anything.And two days since I have decided to make Alessandro's every living moment hell.What? You thought I would sit here cry and plead and when he comes I would turn into the perfect wife.No! Never! With the things I faced I'm more then tempted to break the rules.The two days in this confined dark space gave me alot of time to think.I thought about all the things that happened 2 days ago, about how just because of opening the curtains Alessandro turned into a beast.I realized Alessandro is not normal, no normal human being would act that way. I should've guessed it the moment I gazed in his eyes on our wedding day.They were void of any emotion any feeling.Anger is what I definitely felt on the first

Just be with me. We'll figure out the details later.~Perry PoetryFor rest of the day I was left all alone in my room not even Christine came in to ask for food.I was standing by the window gazing at the stars. The nights here in Italy are a little chilly compared to the warm days.But nevertheless everything about here is beautiful and refreshing.The sky is full of stars, I found myself gazing at them for the past hour and thinking about all the thinks most of all my husband.No matter how bad experience we have had with each other in the past I feel myself attracted towards him.I can't say I like him yet but he has turned tolerable for me, I don't see myself getting angry at him.I know he killed people, slapped me and locked me in a

BANG!I emptied my gun in the fuckers chest, I got information he was a rat in my family and I hate rats."Bravissimo ragazzo mio" (Very good my boy) Antonio came from behind and clapped his hands slowly. I just stood there staring at the now dead men with a cold expression on my face."Dobbiamo parlare" (We need to talk) Antonio whispered lowly in my ear and I knew it was important, I nodded and we both made our way to the rusty stairs.We went up and towards my office. One of the maids was standing outside with a handkerchief in her hand, I took it from her and dismissed her with a flick of my

"Vale.." he stopped midway when his eyes took in everything.Everyone was staring at him with curiousity, I found there expressions cute and couldn't hold back my chuckle.Alessandro came out of his daze and stared at me "Che cosa sta succedendo qui?" (what is going on here?) He said something."Signora ci ha preparato la colazione stamattina" (Ma'am prepared breakfast for us this morning) Christine replied softly her scrambled eggs long forgotten.He took in the contents on the table and then stared at me with furrowed eye

The Agreement 63. Mrs. Romano
"After all, soulmates always end up together."~Unknown"Aida.""Hmm?" I tilt my head upwards to have a better view of Alessandro, he was deep in thoughts while stroking my hairs. "I want to name our daughter Aida." he says placing his hand on my protruding stomach."It means happiness." He kisses my forehead, explaining further.I chuckle at his words, "that is a beautiful name but how are you so sure that it's going to be a girl? What if it's a boy?" I ask curiously as I place my hand above his.This was pure bliss.Him, me and our baby. No problems, no lies, no past.. Just us, our world."If it is a boy, then we will make another one so it would be a girl" he says with a big smile as if he has it all figured out, I laugh heartedly "that's not how it works, what if the
The Agreement 62. Surprise
"The best time for new beginnings is now"~ UnknownWhat is up with this man?I couldn't help but question myself as I hold out the beautiful dress infront of me. I inspect the delicate patterns that have managed to catch my breathe, I was baffled when I laid my eyes on this dress for the first time just few moments ago.After our late lunch Alessandro demanded for me to go back to our room, as quoted by him 'I have a surprise for you upstairs.' I was actually nervous about this 'surprise'.Since I have entered Alessandro's life, the surprises I have received from him— let's say they haven't been too pleasent. I couldn't help but think that maybe there was a long lost sibling of Alessandro's that has been found and is waiting for me in the room to be introduced.Just kidding!
The Agreement 61. Waves
"Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction"~UnknownIt has been half and hour since the whole ordeal that had transpired between us, I was sitting on one of the comfy sofa.My mind was reeling with different thoughts, but the most prominent of them was the concern for my parents, I need to ask Alessandro about how long is he going to keep me here and find a way to contact my parents.I glance at the window, my eyes settle on a figure sitting comfortable on the sand near the sea shore, the waves come clashing together but die down just as they near him. Looks like the sea is scared of him as well. I paddle upstairs towards the bedroom in search of some suitable clothes to change into, I find a wooden chester at one corner, I pull open the first drawer and surprisingly enough I find my clothes in them.

And why am I so hungry all of a sudden!?I clench my hands beside me as my fingers itch to trace those fine lines accunturating each peck. This man was a walking god and he knew it.I hear someone clearing there throat which quickly pulls me out of my incoming lusty thoughts, I gaze at Alessandro and find a cocky smirk etched on his stupidly handsome face.I missed this man so much! My subconscious sighs dreamily. Me too girl me too. I agree with her."Enjoying the view?" Alessandro asks in his deep voice while striding towards me, I melt at his accent but quickly compose myself "yes, the sea makes it

I was the cute one. You resembled like a grumpy grandpa when you were born. Dad tell him" I look at dad giving him a 'please take my side' look.He looks at me nervously then back at Everett, I follow my gaze only to see Everett making the same face. Dad clears his throat "none of you were ugly or resembled like a grumpy grandpa, be-" both Everett and I groan "–cause both were beautiful children all thanks to me your handsome father's genes" he points at himself proudly.Mom scoffs rolling her eyes, we all chuckle at dad's expanses.

"Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks"~UnknownNothing could compare to the feeling of one's head resting on their mother's lap.Mother. A creation God created knowing fully well that the world would have been doomed without these amazing women's.I find myself thinking sometimes, how is it possible?How does the air around us suddenly calms down when we have our mother near us.How does a simple hug lifts off one's burdens from their shoulder without even uttering a word to her.How does she know when we need her soothing words or when we just need her silence with her magical touch.Guess I will have to wait to find that out myself.After months of working my brain so hard I could finally feel it relax itself by mom's

Everything around me seems to fade away, I feel a hand gripping my hairs and tugging them harshly, my back hits a hard chest earning a surprised scream from me.I gasp out a breathe, blinking my eyes furiously, my hairs are tugged again and instinctively my hands shot up towards my head to pull away the prying hand."Leave her!" A dark voice commands through the silent air, I push my hands on my ears and put pressure on them in an attempt to
