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
Chapter 23Edith"His profession is similar to mine princess but I cannot reveal to you more details." Dad says feeding me the last spoon. "Now fresh up to go to bed and clean that grubby face." He points to me making a twist of his lips but immediately asks going excited. "Is my princess happy now." Tapping my finger on my chin I go a little dramatic and answer him thoughtfully. "May be a little."Dad smiles aloud, I was seeing him this happy after a very long time. He clears the hair on my face and kisses my forehead. "Even if hell breaks I would never decide anything wrong for you, Princess. Believe in my decision." He tells me serious holding my face in his hands. Age has marked him. There were fine lines appearing in the corner of his eyes but the smile on his rims makes him the most attractive man on earth. My daddy only mine....and he is always my superman capable of driving every demon away. The only difference is when I was small he drove them away from under my bed and now h
Chapter 32AllesandroIt was the graduation ceremony of Edith. She passed out with flying colours. Like I always assumed she is a fighter. Even after so many hurdles she succeeded in life. Suffering a heart disease while going pregnant and giving birth to a child isn't easy for a woman who was ailing a situation between life and death.The function started and the name of all the students started to go announced one by one. "Edith Penelope Martin" the presiding professor announced. I stood up from my seat and clapped ebullient with my smile extending ear to ear for my wife as she receives her degree. Edith's parents too came for the function and Allen was too proud of his daughter. After the ceremony everybody threw their hats in the air. Edith's eyes were sparkling like stars in enrichment as she took pictures with her friends.Edith completed her graduation from the subject of biochemistry. Her main subjects were molecular biology and life sciences. One day she aims to become a bioch
Chapter 31AllesandroHolding my wife's hand I lay my head on her bed. She was still unconscious. It pinched me of her helpless state but my hands were tied. I couldn't give her any treatment because she was in her advanced pregnancy. Extreme emotions can be dangerous to her fragile heart. I should see to it that she doesn't get agitated regarding any issue. Her health should stay stable like right it is now till the date she delivers the baby.Normal delivery is out of question for Edith. The exertion and labor can enhance the hole in her heart. It can prove to be fetal for her and the baby too. When you are about to lose something you come to know the importance of it in your life. My wife was fighting for her life and I feel a part of me was trying to depart from me.I always commanded and exercised my control on her because I am too possessive of her. Stupid me, I was worried about her security but in the process I had no idea how much I was hurting her until she bursted out her
Chapter 30AllesandroEdith is now six months pregnant. Initially she suffered a lot of nausea but from last two months thankfully she is fine. "Sandro..." She scratches my upper arm as I was preparing her favorite meal buffalo chicken wings. "What do you want Sweet cakes?" I ask her without turning back but there was no answer. My hands go stationary and exhale a sigh turning reverse. Her eyes meet mine and gradually scroll down to my lips.I chuckle at her pretty antics. Edith's style is always different. She gets me head over heels by her unique and cute way of asking things. "You want a kiss? Why? It is not even two hours since we made love?" She narrows her lips looking around but not meeting my eyes when I try to pull her leg. I smile at her bubbly capers and lay my hands around her fragile form bringing her closer to me in a hug.Turning her head out of my crook Ipulled her close to me, gently backing myself against the walls. Angling my face to hers I steal a look into her e
Chapter 29AllesandroThree months laterIt was Sunday and Charla is on leave. I was making spaghetti for me and Edith when I hear my telephone ring in the living hall. God, let this not be a call from the hospital. Today I not only have to feed but also cook for my little wife. I cannot afford to make Edith cook in the house. Last time she attempted to do the feat, the house was almost on fire. I had to use my influence and several of my important contacts to send the fire department workers away from my house without making an issue.I reach the front hall and look at my phone to see Charles name blaring on the screen. I breathe out a sigh of relief and press the answer button. On the other end of the line I hear the cheerful voice of my brother-in-law. "Hey man how are you and how is life with my little sister?" I run my hand on my neatly gelled hair suddenly going drained. "Do not ask me that." He chuckles loud as I cut the last carrot to put it in the already steaming pan for ma
Chapter 28Allesandro"Oh yeah?" I roar low and grind my teeth pushing her to the wall behind. "Aah" she lifts a soft cry closing her eyes. "You are misbehaving Dr. Allesandro Martin." Her tone was in a warning. I push away her silky black soft curls behind her ears and bring my face closer, my lips just inches away from hers. "I haven't yet started misbehaving Mrs Edith Penelope Martin because if I do you wouldn't stand here in one piece." I point to her with my eyes running down her delicate frame top to toe in salaciousness.Holding her face to meet my eyes I tell her firm. "You have no idea what you did to me by running away that day from the house in the pretext of your friend's birthday party. I take apologies but never apologized to anyone in the world and on that day I had to do it because of you to your family." I clutch her arm tight growling low in her ears. "Yeah and I'm too egoistic to accept but let me inform you in advance I do not take such things light."My phone star
Chapter 27AllesandroThe subsequent part of wedding went in a blur with me trying to initiate a conversation with Edith and she avoiding me like some kind of forbidden fruit. "He is my adopted younger brother Adrian. My father rescued him in a road accident and I treated him back to life." I introduced Adrian to Edith with pride at the same time try to institute a talk to clear the fog of fight between us." Edith ignores me fully and extends her hand towards my younger brother. "Glad to meet you Adrian."Edith's hostility was killing me. I could endure her anger, cherish her love, suffer her pain but I cannot stand her repugnance for me. I was in a dilemma regarding my opinion to stay tuned to her dad's decision. He did not wish me to share the truth with Edith and now I understood how big a blunder it was that I have committed. I should have told Edith that I was the man who is to marry her.Allen was frightened Edith would once again run away from home. Over the time she had gone
Chapter 26EdithThe next day I called my father and within two hours I boarded the flight. After the fight I didn't see Sandro in the house or receive a call from him but the next day when I boarded the flight I had around ten bodyguards to accompany me to the airport. The chief security was having an ear piece tucked the complete time giving Sandro the information on every step I make towards getting to the flight.My marriage preparation was going on at a full swing in the house. In a way I was happy for earning the slap from Sandro. All my stupid fantasies about him washed away like dirt. My mind is now clear like a clean sheet of paper. In a way I need to thank him. Had I lost my virginity to a man other than my husband after all these years of staying celibate I could have never excused myself.Sandro is a dominating personified beast who cannot treat woman with respect. I wish he doesn't come to my marriage at all.Two days before marriage Augustus and Angelica came to our hous
Chapter 25Edith"Edith....Edith, wake up princess, don't you remember you promised me today that you will come and help me with the selection of houses?""Go away..." I clutch the blanket which was covering me and push it over my head to arrest the sun rays falling on my face from the window."Sweet cakes, baby wake up, I will be late to the hospital if you continue to trouble me like this. I have three surgeries today. Poor souls, their lives now depend on your mercy." I hear Sandro's requesting voice."I do not want to go. I want to sleep. Make a selection of your own." I tell pushing Sandro's hand away that was caressing my cheeks. "Princess you are queen of my life as well for my house. If you don't select then who will select the one that would be the best house for us?"I go instantly alert by his words and push away the blanket covering my face. "For us?" He clears his throat looking everywhere around the room but to meet my eyes. "Dr Allesandro Martin the house selection shou
Chapter 24EdithThe next day I get a call from Regina. Our exams date list had been announced and they are to start within a month. I had already completed my preparations and so there wasn't a need to worry.I call Sandro and tell him the excited news of my stay with him for the tests but I was skeptical if my dad would agree for me to stay in his house since my marriage is already fixed. "Tell your dad about your examinations and I'm sure he wouldn't deny your stay with me." He speaks sanguine giving me the tranquility I desired most for the moment. I get down the stairs, show dad the notification that I got in my mail box and did a double take when he offered me on his own to stay in Sandro's house. I wonder how Sandro goes completely sure regarding my matters. "Dad I wish my wedding doesn't intrude with my internals." I open my concerns to my father because I did not wish to settle in low grades after doing so much of hard work through out the year."The ceremony is very soon g
