ARIA'S POV

.

There must be something wrong with me. I must be going mad. How can I love this pathetic life? What happened to being ambitious? To loving myself? To building and striving to become a better version of myself every day.

How could I let a man reduce me to something better than a piece of rag? Since my Sir made me say 'I love him', It seems like I became a different person who can't think and have a mind of her own.

And when I try to think, It takes so much work and soul searching to access the real me and when I do, I don't get to keep her for too long. Why, why, why?

I feel like I'm in another body. I can't seem to remember what my previous life feels like anymore. All I know is that I'm full of gratitude.

I'm grateful to my husband for loving me, for caring for me, for being kind to me. I'm grateful because I ought to be grateful even when I don't recall why, I still know that I'm meant to be grateful.

  • The Don's Runaway Bride   45. My Sir

    I woke up the next morning to see my husband in a towel, walking down the corridor connecting our bedroom to the bathroom. 'Oh, my Greek god of beauty,' a voice screamed internally.When he noticed that I was awake, he stalked over to my side of the bed and kissed me on the forehead, then my lips."Good morning, Amore." He murmured, pushing his fingers into my hair bonnet and stroking my scalp with them.God, the whole room melted away. He became the only existing figure in front of me. "Good morning, Sir," I replied, looking down.With his index finger, he touched my chin and pulled my face up to look at him. "You look at me when we're talking, Amore. You're my wife, not a slave.""Yes sir," I replied, staring at his immaculate face. 'My husband is so thoughtful and so kind and he's perfect.'He pulled me out of the bed. "Time to take a shower." He said.I stood up from the bed and let him undress me. His eyes appraised my body like this was hi

    The days rolled by and Pietro doesn't hesitate to pamper the hell out of me every single opportunity he gets. He treats me like a precious china that he doesn't want to grasp too tight or too loose to avoid breaking, and I enjoyed every bit of it.I had his attention all to myself. I made him happy and he was pleased with me. One morning, I'd woken up to him eating my clit. I felt hazy and orgasmic. Forcing my eyes open, I found the center of my world with his head on my crotch.When he paused and looked up at me, my brain went into an absolute pause. "Amore Mio." He cooed."My Sir," I cooed back, thrilled to be the object of his attention. After giving me two morning orgasms with his mouth and having me suck him off, he brought me breakfast in bed and cued in one of my favorite movies on Crime and Justice. I’d spent the morning watching myself orgasm and learning how to relax my throat to take his cock as deep as he could reach down my throat. The experie

    PIETRO'S POV.The next day, I had to meet up with Edoardo. I was now very certain of my position with Aria. She is in a safe place and I felt reassured that nothing in this world would ever take her away from me.It would take a lot to manually undo what I've done. Also, it would take a lot of emotion to try to undo it if anyone deci to explore the emotional route.When I got to my office at one of my clubs in Queensland, I dived into the financial reports, with Carlo filling me up on everything I've missed while on a semi-honeymoon with my wife. We engrossed ourselves with numbers while waiting for Ardo. When I finally heard his grumpy voice outside my office, he sounded totally pissed and when he pushed open my office door, the evidence of his sore mood was all over his facial appearance.He stood in front of me, arms crossed around his chest. "I've been able to retrieve your wife's deleted call logs and messages," Ardo said, surprising us.

    When my husband got back home, he was furious at someone. Me? It can't be me. I've done nothing but please him. I've been living and breathing for him.But he was furious and I’d never seen him like that before. When he pushed through the door, his eyes were blazing with rage and I was so panicked that my breath stuck in my throat. He seemed to be moving in manic fast-motion. He stalked over to me and his hands closed around my throat, pulling me to my feet. I was struggling to breathe, and my hands were flailing and slapping at his wrists, hoping to pull them away so as to get little air. Finally, He eased up a little bit, just enough to let me breathe. I burst into tears and fell on my knees, close to his feet. "I’m sorry, sir." I started pleading, with no idea of what exactly I did. He pulled out his phone with his free hand and swiped through the screen, angrily. "Who the fuck is this, Amore?" He asked, and he was yelling. I looked at his phone scree

    PIETRO'S POV.I can't believe this. After everything we've shared, I can't believe Aria would choose someone else over me. She was supposed to be under my rules. She was supposed to be my toy, whore, wife, whatever the hell I want her to be.But within the brink of an eye, she's none of those things anymore. She now had a mind of her own. How, how, how! I made sure to do everything right. I had her exactly where I wanted her. How could she do this? I had to stay up all night to watch her via the CCTV in her cell. She was about to break my hold on her and God help me, I won't let her. She can try all she wants but I won't let her.All I have to do is; leave her in the cell and wait for her to finally realize that I'm the only one that she needs. Leaving her in that cell without sunlight will reset her thoughts. She'll eventually become tired and lonely and give up.With the decision made, I started dressing up for work.

    All I could suddenly think of was my wife. I had to eliminate the fools behind me because, distraction or not, they would kill me if they could, and they obviously think they've got me cornered and excited that they might be the ones to end the life of Pietro Eppolito."In your fucking dreams." I spit out.Since the new street was great and perfect for a shootout without the risk of harming Innocent people, they stupidly started shooting at me again.I swung my car around into a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn to face the blue Ford. Revving my engine, I floored the gas pedal and drove back to meet my pursuers. Their car was almost side by side with mine heading back to meet them. Playing chicken was no longer on my agenda. Yet suddenly, I pushed the pedal to the floor as hard as I could and felt the nose of my car slam into the driver’s side of the blue Ford. 'Good. There's nothing as beautiful as taking them by surprise.' My airbag slammed me back into the seat after that, and

Am I lying down on my stone foam bed in the rusty-smelly cell?I took a deep breath and tried to steady my thoughts. This place doesn't smell like my cell, which means I'm not in my cell. So where am I? What is the last thing I can remember?I shut my eyes against the darkness and tried to remember; I was in my cell, eating a very nasty smelling soup; Pietro's way of trying to break me, making me yearn for the good and tasty meals I've been used to for a while now.I was dead ass hungry and tired. That was the only reason I would eat such a terrible meal. But in between my meal, my cell door was pushed open, and Steve! Oh my god, Steve. Steve came for me. Now I'd started recalling the things that happened. But if Steve came for me, then where am I? I opened my eyes and tried moving my hands again, but there was an excruciating pain. My hands are cuffed!

Ardo was already checking through the computer in my home office, running the CCTV. My men were massacred. Who the hell does this Steve guy think he is?

    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

  • The Don's Runaway Bride   121. Happy Married Life

    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

  • The Don's Runaway Bride   118. An Extreme punishment

    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
