Ever since that night, when Cynthia took the initiative during their lovemaking for the first time, Carlo has been in a much better mood. Even every time he came home and saw indifference Cynthia, he didn't get angry or suddenly furious.

Even at the dinner table, where they occasionally looked at each other, Cynthia noticed that his brow was much more relaxed.

Although he didn't look as kind as he had before his memory loss, at least the horror and gloom that had been in the room the other day was much less.

Even when Debby came to bring Cynthia coffee, she was smiling as if there had been some recent happy event. "Debby, have you guys been having any fun lately? How come I see the maids are so happy these days?"

"Miss Cynthia, Master Carlo has given us a big pay rise in the last few days and he says we have served you well. I see Master Carlo has been in a very good mood these days. Usually he comes back with a cold tone of voice when he orders us around, but since the other day h

    "I said I will always be there for you." Carlo said, helping Cynthia fill her cup with herbal tea again. His eyes looked insistent, terribly insistent. Cynthia shuddered to think that if she hadn't spent time with the man before, she would have thought the man had gone insane. Carlo's eyes sometimes became paranoid, like a sick man who had just escaped from his confinement island. But most of the time he was still gentle. She tried to ask the private doctor who had last examined her about Carlo's psychological condition. But the man just didn't say a word, and gestured with his eyes for her to stop asking. Cynthia had the feeling that she was living in the Valley of Terror, that the man in front of her was a dream, a fantasy, and that she was a little frightened.Cynthia dared not meet his eyes and averted her own, but said stubbornly, "I didn't think you'd be like this."Carlo looked at him with interest as the corners of his mouth curled up, "Oh? What kind of person am I?" The wa

    The painting Antonio gave her was an oil painting of a landscape, only sixteen mo in size, framed in a simple frame, not too flashy to be suspicious as a gift, but simple and elegant.Cynthia even wondered if Antonio had given the painting to Debby by himself, as the frame was even wrapped in a few pieces of simple foam.She looked at it briefly, smiled up at Debby and said, "Thank you, I'm going to take these to my study and paint them later, so I hope you'll tell the others not to disturb me while I'm painting."Debby nodded, her almond eyes curving in a smile that looked genuinely pleased to have done what she had been asked to do: "Yes Miss Cynthia I will tell them later and you remember to go and eat your breakfast first!!! From today onwards you will be able to draw at home! I really admire artists like you!"Cynthia was touched by her innocent smile and said with a slight twinkle in her eye, "I know, you don't have to call me Miss Cynthia anymore, just Cynthia.

    Cynthia had been feeling very unwell lately, with a constant feeling of tightness and nausea in her chest, perhaps because she had been stuffy indoors for so long.It was the height of summer, only half past ten in the morning, and the heat was already rolling outside the window, with the sound of robins in the woods not far away penetrating the fence of the villa with a strong summer sound.She leans gently against the window, not that she likes the feeling of the sun on her body, but she has been cooped up for so long that she has forgotten what the outside world looks like.She felt bored and lonely, how could anyone in the modern world even cut off another person's internet and social devices? It was unbelievable.She was now tempted to open her social SNS to check on her friends' lives and news from the outside world. She imagined a day when she escaped and everything she wanted to do would be achieved.It was almost time for Debby to go on holiday again, so she hoped that everyt

    In fact Carlo was not happy to be in charge of this mess in the North, he had no choice when he took over, he was an adopted son, Mauro Ricci needed two successors so he was chosen, and Bishop was Mauro Ricci's own, illegitimate son.They had an elder brother above them, the proper first-born son, the child of Mauro and his first wife by marriage. But this Franco was a rebel, and had been separated from the Ricci family at an early age.His elder brother had been disgusted by Mauro Ricci's shady business dealings for years, so after Mrs Ricci's death he broke off relations with the family and left for France, where he has been living for many years.Carlo knew in his heart that even if Bishop hadn't chosen the South End, Mauro Ricci wouldn't have given him the North End.After all, these are dangerous businesses and if the eldest Ricci doesn't come back, Bishop will have to take over the entire Ricci family.A bad run could land him in jail.But that's alright, Mauro Ricci will bail him

    Carlo spent the next few days at the villa with Cynthia.Cynthia painted while Carlo sat in the boss chair reading a book.Cynthia took a bath while Carlo sat at the bathroom door reading the newspaper.And when Cynthia is in trouble, Carlo is always there to hand her what she needs and seems like the most caring companion.But at night, Carlo is a real dark character.He would torment her in all sorts of ways.Carlo sat on the bed and crooks his finger at Cynthia, who has just had a bath: "Come on, let's see how you behave?"Cynthia wanted to tell him to get lost, but had to hold back for the sake of freedom and reluctantly half-kneeled down to take his thick, big thing into her mouth.She couldn't know how to suck at all, and her teeth occasionally touched the outer skin of his flesh, which didn't feel too good.But Carlo looked down and saw his thing going in and out of Cynthia's sweet red mouth, her red eyes tearing up with discomfort, her long, curved lashes wet with tears, and h

    "Don't leave me."Carlo's voice choked and his arms tightened, as if he was afraid the person in his arms would disappear if he let go.His eyes looked hollow, exuding a dark, silent vulnerability that shouldn't be present at his age.It was as if he would immediately turn into a cloud of dust and float away as soon as the person in his arms chose to leave.It was the first time Cynthia had seen him so unprecedentedly vulnerable, as if she had peeled back his hard shell to reveal the soft, true core inside.Cynthia, afraid of what he might do if he lost control of his emotions, lifted her arms and soothed him gently and gently: "Be good my Carlo ...... be good ......"Carlo, like a puppy wounded outside, gradually calmed by his master's gentle reassurance, but still clinging her , placed his chin on the nape of Cynthia's neck and repeated what he had just said: "You won't leave me, will you?"Cynthia didn't answer him and after a moment Carlo anxiously got out of Cynthia's arms and lo

    "What the hell do you mean?"Cynthia was calmer than she thought, she remembered that when she first corresponded with Antonio, Carlo and Debby had come back around the same time, had Debby been lying to her?Cynthia clutches the letter in her hand and looks at Debby with a questioning look.Debby was still confused and could only shake her head at Cynthia, stating that it wasn't her who had told the third young master about her buying the pigments."It's not Debby, she doesn't know anything."Carlo coughed twice, "I happened to see her go into Antonio's studio that day and guessed it was a sign from you, and as for why I didn't expose your lies then and there, it was because I wanted to give you a chance."Low blood sugar, triggered by the day's lack of food, was catalyzed by the ups and downs of emotions.Cynthia's body swayed twice, holding onto a nearby table and chair to steady herself.Her face was pale and she covered her stomach in some pain.She had vaguely guessed that someo

    Debby is vaguely aware that some oversight on her part may have hurt Cynthia.Her heart restless, she waits for Carlo to leave the cottage and sneaks off to Cynthia's bedroom alone.Cynthia was sitting on the bed with her hands on her knees, her thin body huddled together, which was heartbreaking to see. Debby's voice was a little choked up and she called out softly, "Miss Cynthia ......"Cynthia didn't answer, just stared blankly out the window.She didn't want to do anything or talk to anyone. The moment her hopes were shattered, her heart died.She didn't know how to save her rest life, even if she had to welcome a new life in the meantime."Have something to eat." Debby held a plate of pastries in her hand, "I bought them when I was out the other day and I haven't had a chance to give them to you yet."At the sound of Debby's voice, Cynthia looked up at her, her eyes lingering briefly on the pastry and shook her head, she hadn't eaten a single meal since she had woken up.Affected

    Pregnancy is a delicate moment when you can't be wounded, can't get near to your lover, and can't endure cerebral stimulation.Carlo had the entire third floor of the staircase thickly carpeted and all the areas of the villa with right-angled edges fitted with anti-bump corners.The scene of her deliberate fall down the stairs was still engraved in his mind.He has had a deep fear of stairs ever since.In the days when Cynthia collapsed, he would see her in a vision standing at the top of the stairs, her body falling down.And he would rush to grab her body, but only held a handful of air. As if that wasn't enough, he remembered that Cynthia had been very fond of sour foods during her last pregnancy, so he ordered the maid to prepare grapefruit juice and a variety of sweet and sour snacks for Cynthia every day.Carlo underestimated her, and the change in his behavior was so obvious that Cynthia surely think it was unusual. She asked Carlo if there is something he is not telling her.

    Carlo woke up to the sound of something rustling. He opened his eyes hazily and saw Cynthia standing on the balcony looking out, it was dark outside and only the thin light of the moon was coming in.Cynthia opened the window on the balcony and half of her body poked out. Carlo's heart fluttered and he quickly got up from the bed and went to the window, stopped her and took her down from the window, and they fell to the ground together."What are you doing?" Carlo's words were tinged with anger, but the end of his voice trembled slightly with fear.Cynthia, however, looked around as if she had just come back to her senses, rather unsure and confused, looking at Carlo: "What's wrong?"The cold moonlight gilded Cynthia with a cold silver rim, making her as beautiful as a false mannequin.Carlo met her eyes and saw that they were clear as water and no emotion beyond a few questions, so he dropped his heart and hugged Cynthia tightly with his heart pounding.Cynthia looked at the man in f

    In the evening, Carlo came out of the bathroom and saw Cynthia leaning against the bed reading a book.She was wearing the light white pyjamas he had bought for her, her freshly washed hair draped nicely over her shoulders.As she went through her book, her lashes were long and arched, fanning out. Her long hair was not totally dry, and water spilled onto her white nightgown.The wet garments adhered firmly to her flawless skin, her shape already petite, and the wet clothes wrapped around her body seemed much more enticing.She had obviously not noticed that he had been staring at her since he had come out of the bathroom.Her attention was all focused on the book in her hands.Her whole body looked a little rounder after all the toning she had done over the past few days.Her fingers gripping the book were slightly pink and her face had a healthy flush.Looking at her pink face, he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.He always felt that since her memory loss until now, the a

    The more Cynthia thought about it, the more it didn't seem right.The location didn't match up with what she remembered, nor did the seasons.It was as if she had lost something that she couldn't remember, especially the dark metal cage in the house, which looked creepy as hell.Cynthia was standing in front of the cage when Carlo came back and asked, "What's this? Why is there such a big metal cage inside the house?""This is ......" Carlo couldn't say, his eyes dodging and looking away."Are you hungry, I had them prepare a bit of porridge, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"Cynthia turned her head to look at him and said, "You seem to have changed."Carlo's heart jumped and he swallowed nervously and asked, "What?""Like not so silly and cute anymore."There was disappointment in Cynthia's tone, but on second thought she was happy for him, "It's good that you've regained your wits, I can save myself some worry, can you tell me what's been going on all this time?"Carlo help

    Carlo's heart was rocked by Cynthia's gaze, a sight of death and determination, as if she was saying goodbye to the world.She lay limp on the floor, like a dead fish that had given up struggling.she was not striving or suffering.She could not feel anything anymore.Now before her, her future and her life were stained with a dirty, unforgivable stain.She had been torn apart by fate, destroyed by this man, in the name of love.Now she wanted nothing more, life or consciousness, it was better for her to be stripped of it all.Carlo patted her stiff face with his hand, trying to rouse the person in front of him. But it was all in vain."Cynthia! Cynthia! Cynthia! You mustn't pretend, get up, I know I'm wrong. Don't you do this, don't you do this, I'm scared."The person in his arms was no longer responding, her pupils were out of focus and her face drooped to the side."I know... I know it's all a pretence for you, right?You're trying to lie to me again, wake up! I won't believe it."

    As entered October, the weather was not as hot as before, and the woods not far away were deeper in green, blowing through a gust of wind with a clattering sound coming from the depths, like the trees' low chorus of farewell to summer.Cynthia had only been taken by Carlo to meet Andrea once, to look in the doorway from afar, and then to be dragged away.Whenever she mentioned anything about Andrea, Carlo gagged her and pinned her to the bed, leaving her with no energy to ask about Andrea.Dr Marco had said that she needed a period of recovery before she could get pregnant again, but Cynthia was in a hurry and she asked Marco for a pregnancy test soon after she resumed sex with Carlo, but the results were not to her liking.Carlo does allow Cynthia to go for walks, but she seems to have lost interest in the outside world, not even going to the screening room at the villa, and spends her days as a marionette, with no purpose other than to satisfy Carlo's sexual appetite.Carlo senses

  • The Mafia And His Caged Master   16-The cogs of fate

    The only one who could communicate with Cynthia, Debby, had been transferred and now she spoke no more than ten words a day. Her whole body was sickly and the state of Antonio's health in captivity was the only thing that kept her going. Still looking at the cage in her room, she felt an endless wave of sorrow rising from her heart. It was as if her soul had shattered into several pieces. She had finally experienced the helplessness of those who have lost all hope, the feeling of not having any attachment to life, the peace that could disappear at any moment. Liz was never as concerned about Cynthia's state as Debby usually was, always shutting the door behind her as soon as she put down the food and water. Cynthia didn't care about this anymore, she even found it a relief to be without company. When Carlo returns with the dog, Cynthia is sitting on the balcony looking out at the view.Instead of the vague look of longing and anticipation that she used to have, she looke

    Antonio is still locked up, Carlo's reason being that he cannot be released until Cynthia is pregnant. Cynthia has suffered a lot of physical damage and Dr Marco says that it will take at least three months to recover before she can conceive again, which means that Antonio will be kept here for at least three months. Cynthia begged Carlo if she could release him first, as she wasn't going to escape anyway and there was no point in keeping him locked up. Carlo touched her cheek and gently refused Cynthia's request. Cynthia bit her lip and looked away from his face. Cynthia's daily care routine was replaced by Liz, with whom she did not interact much and to whom there were only three answers to any question: yes, no and don't know. With the internal problems of his 'little family' resolved, Carlo focuses more on his business in the North End. Since he had turned down Bishop's offer to sell drugs, Bishop had been making some nasty little moves recently, not so much to make an impac
