Chapter 15EdithI find something moving on my cheek. Getting disturbed I stir and try to get rid of the obstruction. My hand comes in contact with another hand bigger and rough unlike my soft and small ones. Was this a play of some kind of evil spirit? I woke from sleep with a jerk like a zombie and look around with frightened eyes. In front of me was Allesandro gazing down at me curious in a controlled simper."What was that Edith, evil spirit?" I narrow my eyes at him acting innocence. "What evil spirit?" He looks sideways towards the wall lands to low chuckles and then looks back at me with a stoical countenance. "I thought you were having a dream about some evil spirit." I pick my teddy from besides feeling unsecured and hold it to my chest . His eyes pass from the teddy in my hands to my face. Smiling imperceptible he rubs the skin on his forehead above his eyebrow. "Edith?"Why was everything relating to me so amusing to him? "There are no evil spirits existing in the world.
Chapter 16Allesandro"Come on my handsome, pleasure me." The girl whose name I do not remember purred in my arms. I was drunk, I do not know who she was and how I ended up with her in bed but the scent of innocent Edith would never stop but rib my body even if I drink to the oblivion. The girl besides begins to plant open mouthed kisses on my face, cheeks and moving down to my shirt. "What is taking you so long?" I could hear a slight desperation in her voice as she tried to unbutton my shirt but my hand quickly goes to stop her.A sigh flowed from me as I mentally kicked myself for falling asleep with another woman. I felt disgust which was a fresh unplumbed emotion that I hadn't experienced before. "I'm done. Get dressed. My driver will take you home." The covers flipped back with a simple flex of my muscular arm, and I swung my feet to the red carpeted floor. With the heels of my hands, I rubbed the weight of sleep from my eyes. "Oh, you were great, by the way. You did not disturb
Chapter 17AllesandroMy system stopped working, the tyres screech and my vehicle comes to an immediate halt with a jerk from the words heard on the other side of the phone. I could hear a series of horns along with blowing curses from the drivers in the cars behind me through the rear view mirror. I re-start my car, park it a few feet ahead beside the road and yell at Samuelson. "You are an inept pea-brained slum dog who doesn't know to handle an innocent benighted twenty year old."With the death hold I held the steering of my car which turned my knuckles white. "Do not show me your face again. You are fired." I tell him and cut the call with my head bowed, elanded on the steering. Edith Rodriguez you never fail to bite my head off with your asinine stunts. I wonder if God had implanted any material in your brain. I pick my phone immediately and call my private detective. "I'm sending you a photo of a certain twenty year old. Locate her where ever she is in this world and bring her
Chapter 18EdithFlashback"Get out of the house you fool. Enough of shit I bore with you." Those were the exact words Shelton Marshall, my husband had to say to me just fifteen days after our marriage. I stared at him tongue tied unable to withstand the shock. No words came out of my lips as I look at him in a stupor. Did I hear him right? I wasn't able to believe my ears. Shelton was the only man on earth who did not exercise his dominance on me unlike my brother and my bossy....I did not know what to call him, the great lordly Allesandro Martin."Your picaro boyfriend and your scrote of a brother were right. I work for mafia." Shelton confessed to me in a growing irate. "Your father, Allen Rodriguez is my boss Sheikh Abdul Razim's strong opponent. My boss was attracted to you after seeing you in one of the parties. Since then he is heavily bent on having you as his mistress. He will use you as long as he wills and then sell you as a sex slave." He tells me in a teasing snicker. My
Chapter 19Allesandro"Why did you go drunk Edith? And even in your dropping consciousness you were telling me you were cheated by someone. Did Shelton mistreat you? Did he touch you in a wrong way?" My voice goes louder losing its control on each passing word. "I read in the news that you are married to him. Is it true?" My heart was thumping against its rib cage fearing her answer. She looks at me puzzled with her eyes wide. "Answer me damn it." I shout on her face."Yes, I am married to him. Why does it bother you?" She yells. "Do not dare to raise your voice at me." I tell her in a low dangerous tone moving closer. She gulps and moves back in her chair. "You rejected me not once but twice and thus I married him.""You married him to take revenge on me or you truly love him?" I couldn't stop but shade a picture of pensiveness in my voice, my throat suddenly feeling dry. Taking a glass of water from the dining table I gulped it into my throat like a thirsty crow. Please don't say
Chapter 20Allesandro"You bastard, how could you be so cruel to her?" I slapped Shelton so hard that blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. "I had no fucking business to touch her, my boss required her and I was supposed to take her to Dubai where my Sheikh lives, but you and her brother made my job impossible." Charles who stood beside me punched him on his face. "You wanted my sister, you need to cross me before you have her."I took out the belt from around my waist and whipped him. Blood sprinkled on my face with the devilish strike but my temper wasn't satiating. His mouth was now covered in blood. Charles pulled him out of the chair holding his collar and ploughed a blow in his stomach. "You thought of using my sister? How dare you even think of that? Come on have me before you have her in a one plus one offer." I laughed aloud. Charles had a comical sense even when roaring in temper.Shelton vomitted blood and his eyes were dropping. Pulling the hairs on his scalp I dashed
Chapter 21EdithI walked out of the bedroom getting angry on Sandro to sit on a sofa of the living room. Why does no one in my family understand my feelings? Facing my dad after all the foolish placades I pulled was getting me a shiver of fear. I did not know when my eyes have gone closed and how I reached back to bedroom but no sooner I open my eyes I feel strong hands supporting me to a muscled chest.Sandro brought me back to the bedroom though I have no idea how and when. As I stir in his embrace enveloped in his enchanting scent of hue and lemon he kisses my head and leapt his eyes open in a untold consolation. "Don't worry Sweet Cakes, I grant you a wish today. No one from your family is going to scold you irrespective of the crazy sketches you drew with your good for nothing boyfriend." I scowl at his derisive remark but he doesn't seem to care about it. "In return you should promise me you will marry the man your parents choose for you."What the heck! I was about to speak bu
EdithTwo days passed since Sandro dropped me in my parents house. I am completing my projects and studying for my exams. Just like he promised my parents didn't ever lift the topic of Shelton. It feels like he never existed in my life. I called him thrice in last two days and every time I was transferred to an automatic message - the number doesn't exist. I have no idea why his number doesn't respond to me anymore. I do not know if my mafia family has anything to do with the situation or my bossy boyfriend did something to him after learning about my past but I wish he doesn't come after me because if he does he will be digging his own grave.Two months laterThe house was undergoing renovation with fresh paints on the wall, a whole lot of shopping went for each member of my family and mine was the most special of all, as though there was a wedding to take place. I wonder what's happening in the house but nobody wishes to reveal to me anything including my mother. Mom has been mor
