ARIA'S POV

.

The past few days have been beautiful for me. My childhood friend Celia took me into her home without questions asked.

With her divorce proceedings underground and the loss of her baby, it turned out that she needed me as much as I needed her. My presence uplifted her and brought her some peace and calm.

After two days of absolute peace, I finally began to settle. Celia proposed a job at one of the bookshops her friend owns and I couldn't help but accept instantly.

As a kid, she had always been a lover of dress-ups and fashions, and she pursued her dreams. Now she owns a little cosmetics brand. I've always been the speaker; I read a lot, and I was great with communication and speeches. I ended up as a professor of English.

Chasing dreams... I had more dreams that I wanted to chase. I want to build a school for the less privileged kids in Queensland. I also want to build a standard skills acquisition center for kids who are talented in crafts a

    His hand relaxed a bit, allowing me to finally breathe, and then he nodded. His men backed away from Celia. Next, we were heading outside. Celia was brave enough to still follow us behind. When she saw the Limo that pulled up to the front of her apartment. She gasped, "Who the hell are you and where are you taking my friend?" I offered her a thin smile, praying she would go back inside so that Pietro wouldn't change his mind. Celia took one look at the Limo and shook her head. "I’m not leaving you with these men. I don't know them and who sent them. They should just kidnap the both of us." Jesus! I need her to go back inside before Pietro loses all patience and slit her throat. Already, his fingers were drumming against the side of my neck, rapping impatiently over my pulse point. "He’s not..." I hesitated, my gaze trailing over to meet Celia's. "He’s not a kidnapper," I admitted. A rumble from deep within Pietro's chest erupted into the silence and pulled my attention back to

    I gasped, my gaze moving back and forth from Pietro to the preacher. "No," I said, shaking my head. Pietro's hand wrapped around my wrist and he tugged me until I fell against his broad chest, my wide eyes clashing with his angry ones. "You made a promise, keep your damn promise," he ordered.I gave him a clueless look, and he smiled, "Of course. You've forgotten already. "I’ll remind you. You said you'll come willingly. Keep your promise." He ordered once again.As if he was in his own world, the preacher's voice broke through our mini-discussion. "Do you, Aria Kostas, take this man, Pietro Eppolito, as your lawfully wedded husband."Lord... When I made that promise to Pietro, I didn't know what I was signing up for. I thought he would take me back home and we'll engage in a little back and forth before a wedding. I thought I'd have more time. "Why are you doing this to me?" I pleaded. Pietro's hand wrapped once more around my throat, shacklin

    Consciousness slowly crept back in. I realized that I was now lying on a hard mattress, and the air in the room I was lying in smelled like rust and dampness. So that means I’m not in my home or a hotel room or even a fancy bedroom. That means this is really happening. I felt something cold on my ankle, forcing me to look down. It was a chain. 'Lord, what did Pietro do to me?'I could only recall that I’d fought him so hard that he decided it was best to let me be. Then I almost created a scene and ran off when we got to the airport. If only the people there weren’t so hellbent on minding their businesses. I would have been rescued. That was all I could remember. Now I’m waking up restrained in a depressing room. Sick with terror about what’s going to happen to me soon. I started murmuring silent prayers. If there is any way I’m getting out of this alive, it would be by a pure miracle. My thoughts went to Steve. Has he called me yet? Does Pietro have my burner phone now? He’s not

    The steps seemed endless, the turns, the doorways, then more steps. I lost count eventually. But the environment felt and smelled better than my prison, a clean smell of sweet floral aroma. We walked through another doorway, and Pietro’s voice cracked through the air. He was on a call. He rounded off his call quickly and spoke to the lady who brought me.“Thanks, Nika, you can go.” Nika, so that’s the name of the uncompassionate bitch. Slowly, carefully, Nika led me over to a seat, and I heard her footsteps thudding dutifully away, and then they faded, and she was gone. She must be terrified of him. That could be the reason she didn’t want to help me. Who knows what a monster like Pietro did to her? Was she once like me? Did he kidnap her, hurt her, then transformed her into a puppet that does his bidding without questioning him? What did he do to her? I refused to feel sorry for her, though. If I were to be in her shoes, no matter the evil done to me, I would never help keep an

    PIETRO'S POV . Nika helped clean Aria up. I let Aria experience the luxury our room and the comfort it could provide. It was my silent way of telling her she could stay up here if only she behaved. Cognitive dissonance... one of the few skills in human thought manipulation that I had embedded inside me. I was just starting with Aria. When I get done with her, I knew she’d be so flexible that I could easily bend her into a goddamn flexi-rod and she’ll stay put with a beautiful smile and a 'thank you.' When I stepped into our room, she was looking clean, putting on a simple sundress and a pout that said she hated me. But I’m certain she felt other things for me that she’d rather not put in words. I crossed the distance separating us and she stood staggered toward the window, trying to run away from me. But I was swift enough to get to her before she hit her head on the window frame. “What do you think you’re-“ I wrapped a hand around her nape and the words died instantly on he

    Aria gasped for breath. Her face turned to the side as her eyes found mine. "How can you say this isn’t a punishment, you sadist?" She choked out. My eyes darkened in response. I pressed down on her lower back, pushing her against my hard cock, and shoved her legs open. When she immediately tried to close them, I slapped the inside of her thighs until she spread them open. Upset with her continuous resistance, I slapped the tips of my fingers against her pussy. The room echoed with the sounds of her dripping wet pussy. "Listen to how soaked you are, Tesorina. Does this sound like pain or pleasure to you?"Her legs flew shut, trapping my hand between her thighs, a strategic mistake she was going to pay for and I made sure of that. Curling my fingers, I found her opening and thrust two fingers into her. "Oh, god," she cried, her spine arching. "Just as tight as I'd thought," I hissed between clenched teeth. "You were meant for me."I could tell she ha

    Even with my pleas, Aria remained stubborn. Her ass was now completely red, a beautiful painting of painful welts. I caressed them gently with my thumb and she hissed in pain. “You know what I want. Say it or I’ll keep going.”Fresh tears deposited at the corner of her eye and rushed down her cheeks. I scooped them up with a finger and suck them into my mouth, not willing to waste even one drop. I lifted the belt. “I won’t...” Aria started.I stopped instantly. My hand remained frozen by her barely audible interruption. And I waited. Three seconds... Six... Eight. Twelve. The belt connected with the top of her thighs this time. She jolted and screamed, falling limply back against the bed. “I won’t run away from you again,” she finally whispered. Tired, in pain, traumatized. Victory erupted in my veins. I tossed the belt to the side of the bed and released her wrists, flipping her over in my arms. She cried out when her welted ass came into contact with my

    ARIA'S POV . Pietro let me spend the rest of the day in what he called our bedroom. He left with Nika a couple of minutes after wrecking my body with an orgasm. I spent the day scanning through the rooms in his house. There were a couple of them. Some were empty, some locked. This wasn't the same house I came to in my wedding dress. This house was different. I knew he was keeping me here because he didn't trust that I wouldn't attempt to run away from him again. The security was tight. There was no way I would attempt running without getting caught. Unless... I attempt it anyway and pray for luck. I met some of his domestic staff. A live-in housekeeper, who doubles up as his chef. The housekeeper introduced me to the other staff members. Aside from the gardener, who lives in the servant quarters, the rest of the workers come in at least twice a week. By evening, I had lasagna, prepared by Melody, the housekeeper. Then I retired for the night. My mind, already made up that I woul

    I was smiling when I pushed into our bedroom where my wife had been strapped down to a couch in the last couple of minutes. The fact that we had the whole family around for a visit did absolutely nothing to stop our crazy selves from doing what we wanted.They were all in the living room with the new housekeeper, taking care of them while I got my wife all to myself until we decide to come out or not. They knew better than to force us to come out. My wife looked up when I came into the bedroom. She was naked; her legs were spread open with a vibrator inserted inside her, making her squirm nonstop with need. The vibrator was set to go for forty seconds at a time, at a slow pace. Then it would stop for a minute before starting up again. Just enough to get her desperately aroused, but not enough to make her come. Very slowly, I unbuttoned my shirt as she glared at me. "This isn’t fair, Sir," she was panting. "Oh, that's too bad." I mocked her with my tone and my eyes. I carefully f

    PIETRO'S POV.The last couple of weeks have been hell for me, living without Aria and uncertain if she was going to come back to me or not.I've learned to take life one day at a time. Once, I'd threatened Edoardo and forced him to reach out to her. But she drove an invisible dagger into my heart when she said she didn't want to speak to me.I absolved myself into work and being a better version of myself while keeping hopes up that she'd have a change of mind, eventually. We were still married by law and I'll be damned if I agree to a divorce.Opening the front door, I was met by my new housekeeper, Erica. She pointed to my study. “You have... There's someone, she's in there, waiting for you.” She blabbed."Who?" I asked, frowning.She reduced her voice to a whisper when she replied. "Your wife sir." My briefcase slipped off my fingers and I paid not even the slightest attention to it as I ran to my study. The door was unlocked so I pushed it in.My wife, the very bane of my existe

    I rolled out of bed the next morning, so sore that I could barely walk. But I knew I needed one thing, and that was coffee. And even though I was too sore to make it myself. I had no choice but to locate the kitchen. But as thoughtful as the Eppolito brothers were, there was a housekeeper already cooking up a storm."Good morning, Mrs. Eppolito." She greeted me when I entered the kitchen."Hi, good morning. Uhm, I'm Celia, and you?""Erica." She replied."Great. Can you... I'd like a cup of coffee with half and half. Is that possible?" "Coming right away, Ma'am," Erica replied.I took a seat on one of the kitchen stools, grateful for the soft padding of the seat. I waited patiently for my coffee. The coffee was ready in less than three minutes. I was just finishing the last sip when I heard Edoardo shouting, "Celia. Celia. CELIA!" I didn’t even have a chance to call back when I heard him kicking the door of the bedroom we slept in, open, slamming it against the wall."I can’t find

    My legs were starting to ache from dancing, Edoardo looked at me and shook his head. "Let’s go," he said, pointing me to the garage."Where?" I asked. "Everyone is still here," I said, spotting Pietro in a friendly chat with Lax and a couple of other men. Papa was still dancing and eating cake. Freda and Dorcas were telling a group of women some interesting story that got them hooked."It's our night baby," Edoardo said, turning me around to face the direction of the garage. "I want to go someplace calm and sink myself inside you all night."My mouth opened slightly, and he jerked his head toward the garage. My ass was too sore to contemplate disobeying him again tonight. After driving through steep roads, hills, and endless curves, we arrived at a calm, gigantic home, completely isolated from the streets. There were security manning the gate and the house itself."Is this yours?" I asked as we drove in."No, it belongs to Pietro and Aria." He replied.He parked the car and I tried

    Immediately I felt his hard cock on the small of my back; I knew both of us had lost the battle.I lost the strength to fight him and he lost the determination to punish me. I felt the exact moment he lost his control; his breath got ragged, and he sighed regrettably."Fucking stop running away, please." He said giving up. "If anything happens to you, I won't survive it." He added.And the tears stung my eyes. Edoardo's love for me has always defied superficial understanding. Our relationship had been the best thing ever. We loved each other recklessly. Until I left him because of my terrible father.His dick continued pressing into my naked ass. Then I heard a zipper and the feel of his hot cock between my legs. He shoved my thighs apart roughly, his hands a sharp slap on my legs to make me move them faster. "Open," he growled. I gasped at the feeling as he shoved his dick through my legs and into my pussy. His cock pushed, ripped, tore through, and filled me. I couldn’t lie anymo

    Today's plan was successful. I took the woods instead of the road. So, no one would have thought it wise to check the woods just yet. I contemplated my situation. I was all alone in the woods, and I had no goddamn clue where I was. Why the fuck had I thought this plan would work. I turned in another direction and began to maneuver through the trees. Panic began to rise in my chest as the branches tore at my arms and dress. "Surely the house was back that way. So the road must be this way."An owl hooted nearby, making me almost jump out of my skin. The trees all formed thick canopies, making the wood quite dark. And then I saw a shape come out behind a tree at me.I screamed my lungs out. My voice was high-pitched and alarming. But with a gasp of relief, I realized that it was my husband. "Edoardo." I cried, my heart pounding. "Hello, baby," he said, his voice was like ice. "You scared the fuck out of me," I said, inadequately. "And I’m going to do much more than that pretty so

    It was the morning of our wedding. The house was already packed. The servant quarters were buzzing with activity, and Papa was the first to get dressed. I had climbed down the stairs to see what the whole noise and cheers were all about. Only to find out that they were cheering Papa. I backed away to the stairs and turned right into Edoardo's broad chest. "It’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." Hollered Aunt Dorcas from the room, but Edoardo only laughed. "It will only be bad luck for anyone who tries to keep me from her after today." He said. And his eyes were so bright when he looked at me, devouring me, that my breath caught in my throat and I didn’t think I could run away from him again, whether he consumed me or not. I left for my room and he stepped aside, giving me a sweet smile. The next few hours went on, with Freda getting me ready and wearing a very cute dress as my substitute Matron of Honor or whatever they call that now. The preacher was more happy

    Aunt Dorcas was seated on the couch smoking when I got downstairs. "Dorcas, could you take that smoke outside?" Papa called, wrinkling his nose up. "I’m not disturbing anybody," Dorcas replied."Look how much smoke you're puffing into your lungs. You'll graduate to an exhaust pipe by the time you get to eighty." Papa murmured.Freda walked in on the unfolding drama and cast an agonized look at me. I didn’t say anything because I didn't want to get in the middle of whatever Papa and his sister-in-law were doing."You know Pietro and Edoardo aren't scared of you," Freda said, "They'll just pick you up and put you on the roof while you smoke."Dorcas sighed, "Those boys have always been assholes." But she stubbed her cigarette out as her sharp ears heard a voice that resembled that of Pietro.It was only two more days until our wedding. My heart was leaping, but I didn't want to show it. The entrance door came open, and Pietro Edoardo stepped in. I felt Edoardo standing across the ro

    Edoardo had been gone all day and I realized I was unconsciously listening for the sound of his car, signaling his return. Freda and I were sitting around the table after dinner, playing the Ludo game. "That's a lovely nail polish." I pointed to Freda's nails."Gel polish?" I asked."Yeah." She nodded. "I can help you put on some before the event." She suggested. "I have a couple of bottles with promising shades."I thought about it, then nodded. "I think I'd like that.""You know, when my husband was alive, he hated it when I spent too much money on these things. Is that the same with Edoardo?" She asked."You married his...""Uncle," Freda told me. "But he's gone now."I didn't know what to answer. I rarely bought any stuff. Edoardo got all my outfits. He even got my jewelry and lingerie. When we were dating, it was the same, he'd get anything he thinks is going to look good on me.But that was after taking his time to study my style. That way, there was nothing he got I didn't lov
