Maria.

I ran out of his office clenching the small box in my hand, I took the stairs two after the other and almost fell on my ass when I wasn’t stable enough.

On my way to my room, I bumped into Julia who at first released a low curse before staring at my tear-stained face.

“Dios mío, what’s wrong Maria?” She asked, holding my hand.

I shook my head and took my hand from hers, I can’t speak or do anything right now.

She stared at me and nodded.

“Okay, go to your room. I will bring you a cup of tea.” I forced a smile before walking past her.

I closed the door behind me and slid onto the floor, hugging my knees to my chest and burying my face in them as I let the tears pour out silently. I’m so screwed. I can’t believe Father could allow such a thing, he wants me to marry someone as evil and ruthless as Luciano.

God, I can’t even picture myself marrying him. I don’t want to but I had to because of Emilia. She will be safe if I do this.

I sniffed and stared at the small box in m

    Arabella.I stood in front of my mirror staring right back at myself, I looked beautiful but not happy. The black satin dress was pretty and I love the slit at the side, my hair was let loose allowing it to fall on my shoulders and my makeup was perfect.Everything was perfect except for my feelings.I do not want this but like my father said I have no choice, this is my life now and I have to live with it.I took in a deep breath, before looking away from the mirror. I can hear the low sound of music playing downstairs, it wasn’t loud but I can tell what music was being played.This was it. Tonight is the night everyone will know me as Luciano Rossi's fiancee, everyone will know that I belong to him and no one else.My stomach twisted and churned, gosh I can’t still get over the fact that I’m being auctioned to a killer.What if something happens while I’m with him?What if I do something wrong and he kills me?What then?“Mari..” I quickly wiped the gloomy look on my face and put on

    Luciano. This feels too good to be true. It has been a long time since I have felt this relaxed, there’s no anger nor impatience nagging at the back of my mind. I felt….free if that’s a word. I worked on the fucking tie after I was done dressing, whoever brought up the idea of men wearing ties in a suit is fucking delusional. How does one knot a tie? It’s hard as fuck and I have spent the past thirty minutes trying to get it right and in the end, I still wasn’t able to get it right. I dumped the tie aside and adjusted my suit before leaving my room. Adriano was waiting for me downstairs inside the car, I jumped in and the driver immediately started the car. “Took you long enough.” He said beside me and his voice sounded like he was….drunk. I pay a glance at him and my guess was definitely right, Adriano Rossi is fucking drunk and it wasn’t even midnight yet. Fucker. “How does it feel to finally see your fiancée weeks after you arranged your wedding?” He asked, opening his ey

    Luciano.Her whole body looked rigid as she stared at me with wide eyes which quickly went back to their normal size a minute later.We both stared at each other without saying anything, paying closer look at her eyes I could tell they were the same thing as Pedro’s. That’s all I’m going to see anytime I stare at her.I didn’t bother to hide my disdain as my eyes roamed the length of her body. The black dress cling tighter to her body than I thought and the slit, the fucking slit was too high for my liking.“You are dressed like a goddamn whore.” She jumped slightly at the sound of my voice and then licked her lips.My eyes followed her movement, it’s a shame such a gorgeous set of lips will be wasted in a face like her, a face with eyes like his.“Aren’t you going to say anything?” I asked, looking at her face but not her eyes.She shook her head without making a sound.What the fucking hell?Is she trying to get on my nerves by not saying anything because she doesn’t need to do anyt

    Luciano.I looked above her head in the mirror to check out my suit. With her face still turned to the side I could see her reflection in the mirror and the tears gathering in her eyes.I wasn’t surprised. She’s as weak as her father and just as hopeless.She has no qualities I would ever want in a wife—that’s if I wanted one in the first place.“You will talk about how excited you are for the wedding, how much fun you are having going shopping for your wedding dress, and whatever the fuck makes women so horny for weddings, and make sure you convince them all. You know what will happen if you don’t.” I went on without bothering to pay another glance at her.“Don’t make me wait too long.” I spin on my heel and reach for the door handle.I stopped before opening the door and said,“Wipe those fucking tears. Nobody wants to see them.”The bathroom door closed to the sound of her pathetic sniffles, she better get her goddamn shit together before coming out m. If she messes this up for me

    Maria.Morning sunlight enters the room through the gauzy drapes on the window, bathing it in warmth. It would make a perfect day for a wedding if only it wasn’t mine. It might be warm outside but inside of me, a cold war was going on.Maybe I should have run away, I wouldn’t be here if I had done then.And then what?What would I do if I ran away?Will that stop me from being in danger?Will that protect my sister from harm? No, instead that would bring more harm to us than this.And they would have found me eventually, dragged me back from wherever I went.“Miss.” I snapped out of my thoughts and stared at the mirror.My seamstress stared at me with worry obvious in her eyes.“Is the dress too tight?” She asked.I sighed and quickly removed my hand from my abdomen before shaking my head.“No, it’s alright,” I replied, and that eased the worries on her face. I rubbed my throat, I have been talking too much for the past couple of weeks and it’s seriously telling on me.I will have to

    Maria.I couldn’t help but compliment my younger sister, she looked pretty in her wine dress with spaghetti straps. Her hair was braided and swept to the side and the tiny flower on her hair made her prettier.She looked so grown up.“There you are, my beautiful daughters.” Our heads whipped to the side, and we both stared at our father as he approached us.Seeing him made my heart beat faster, I knew what would come after this since he was here. The wedding is about to start.I forced a smile and avoided his eyes, our relationship hasn’t been the same since he practically forced me to marry Luciano but that’s no surprise. All my life I have known him to be a loving and overprotective father, someone who wouldn’t make any decisions for us. He let us make mistakes and then correct them but here he is pushing me to a murderer.I really want to believe he’s doing this because he knows that this is the best for me.His eyes remained on me until he was standing before us.I know he’s looki

    Maria.There was a lot that I wanted to say, a lot of comebacks that I have for each word he spat out but I couldn’t say them because of my damn condition. A time like this is one of those times that I wished I had a voice; a normal one where I can talk without having to move my hands or even feel pain after saying one or two words.“I said. Is. That. Clear?” He asked, inching closer, and right now I wished for the wall to close on me.I would rather stay there than marry this man.I hate him. I don’t usually hate people but he’s one of those people that I rarely hate. I thought I could make this marriage work out after everything but guess I was wrong.This man standing before me will never love me, he doesn’t even care or see me as his wife except for whatever transactional reason he’s doing with my father.“Don’t make me repeat myself, Mariana.” He growled, holding my chin and making me look directly at his eyes.“I will….never….love you,” I stressed the words as I forced them out.

    Maria.Hours later, I found myself sitting in the back seat of a car beside Luciano, being driven out of town to my new home—Luciano's home. After exchanging words with most of the families, we decided to call it a night. Before that, I did have one last chance to hug and talk to my sister before leaving, even though Luciano insisted we leave at once. Just because he had put that damn ring on my finger didn’t mean he could control me."I’m going to miss you so much, Mari," Emilia said as she wrapped her arms around my waist.I didn’t hesitate to do the same. "I will miss you too," I sniffled, blinking back tears so I wouldn’t cry.I wasn't crying because of what Luciano said; he could go screw himself for all I cared. I just didn’t want to make Emilia feel worse by breaking down in front of her.“Promise me you are going to let me visit you always?” She asked as she buried her head on my shoulder.That was a tough promise I didn’t know if I could fulfill. It still wasn’t clear if Luci

    Maria.I took the stairs one after the other carefully so I wouldn't fall on my face. Luciano hadn’t noticed my presence yet and just when I was three steps down to the living room, he glanced at me over his shoulder and tensed before ending the call and turning around.I frowned, I wondered who he was speaking to that he didn't want me to hear.But I heard a bit of his conversation and that made me wonder what he was planning. He has been doing this quite a lot— the few times that we met while he was on his phone, he always hung up before I could hear what he was and that bothered me. I wondered if he was speaking to a woman, was he perhaps having an affair? We might have married because we don't love each other but one thing I wasn’t going to condone was cheating.“Who….was that?” I asked, feeling curious.I hated him but that doesn’t stop me from knowing if I’m being disrespected that way.“No one.” He replied and tucked his phone in his pants pocket.I find his answer hard to beli

    Maria.I sucked in a deep breath as Elena helped me with the strings of my corset, it was tight and it felt like I couldn’t breathe yet she kept on insisting for me to suck in another breath as she tried to pull the last strings.Today marks the first time Luciano and I would be out to a party officially, truthfully I would have passed going out with him if only it was avoidable.We have been married for a month now and in that time frame, we have done everything possible to ignore each other entirely. It felt like we were two strangers coexisting in a house, instead of a husband and a wife.Most times that’s around, we spend the time either arguing or fighting and it’s getting tiring so I had to opt for the ignoring part.We merely shared a conversation or even asked the other how their day went, all we did was glare at the other while passing and nothing else. And I freaking love it.At times, I waited until he'd left for the day doing who knows what before coming downstairs to prep

    Maria.I couldn’t believe the asshole had the guts to spank me and he even went ahead to say.“If I had known you would be this quiet after getting spanked, I would have done that a long time ago.”The asshole!I was seething when we got to the dining table, he dropped me down l and went ahead to take his seat. I remained standing as I stared—no, glared, at him.The whole place was quiet which meant we were alone now and that was good. I could do whatever I wanted without feeling embarrassed.“Sit down,” Luciano said as he watched me from across the table, his gaze going back and forth from my body to the chair beside me.It’s like he’s intimidating me to do as he said and plopped my ass on the chair but I wasn’t doing that. Like I said he doesn’t scare me.“Sit your ass down this minute Mariana or I swear to God, you would not only get a call from your sister but from your father too.” The bastard.He’s threatening me and he knows very well that that is going to work on me.With a gl

    Maria.I woke up early the next morning, showered, and wore a jumpsuit since I’m going to be at home today as well as all the days of my life.I decided to have that house tour by myself this morning, so after having a light breakfast of toasted bread and eggs with a hot chocolate drink I started my mission.The mansion is huge, most of the rooms are decorated in a modern style while some of them are just painted with dark paints but it was still beautiful.The whole mansion has a total of sixteen rooms after my little tour and I haven’t even gotten to some part of the place, the rooms were almost the same design and space. During my tour, I was able to locate a few important rooms that I could spend the whole day in while I was under house arrest in his big forsaken house.As I got to the second floor I was tempted to go check out Luciano’s room. But that would be the last place I would enter in this mansion.There was a modern packed gym room downstairs, I mean it had everything a g

    Luciano.My wife is a ball of fire ready to burst at any time. She’s nothing like the meek and calm woman I had thought I would be getting married to—that was my wish at least, to have someone who wouldn’t ask queen set ions if I wanted her to stop working, someone who would be okay with my decisions instead of questioning them.And the whole drama she did when I returned still played in my head even as I sat at the dining table while Elena served dinner.She’s different from what I thought, nothing like her asshole father but has the same blonde running in her veins.“Do you need something else, Mr Rossi?” Elena asked when she was done arranging the table.I shook my head, “I don’t.” I replied but she still remained on the spot she was standing on.“Is there something more you’d like to say?”“Yes….no….I mean yes.” She stuttered.Elena never stutters.“Make up your mind and tell me what you want to say,” I demanded as I picked up the cutlery.“I….do you need me to get Mrs Rossi down

    Maria.I am so freaking hungry that I haven’t stopped rolling around on my bed over and over all night.I couldn’t sleep, how could I when I had had nothing but water all morning? Gosh, I haven’t eaten anything today and that asshole dent bothered to call me downstairs when it was time for dinner; I wasn’t going to eat with him anyways.I rubbed my stomach as it growled again for what seemed to be the millionth time, I can’t do this anymore I need to go get something to eat. With a loud huff, I took the blanket off, wore my house slippers, and went downstairs in search of a snack or snacks.The whole place was a bit dark except for the small light in the middle of the room, which was enough to brighten the place.Immediately I got to the kitchen, I wasted no time in searching the cupboards since I hadn’t done a house tour yet I still didn’t know where I could find some stuff.I opened the cupboards but couldn’t find anything, I bit my lip as I went through the last one. Nothing. The w

    Maria.I was seething as I waited for the asshole to return, I haven’t been able to do anything after getting that call from Emilia, I couldn’t do anything. The food Elena bought was still sitting on the table and I was tempted to call her to take the tray out.I had typed what I wanted to show to him when he returned, he shouldn’t think of himself as a god over my life. He doesn’t have the right to control what I do, who I can see and can not.I paced up and down in the living room, yeah you heard me right. I came back downstairs just to wait for him.I didn’t stop pacing even when I felt a bit lightheaded and I knew I should probably take my seat as I waited for him but none of that was going to happen.I know he has guards who are watching me even while I’m in his house, they should see and report to him how agitated I am.I paused when I heard his car coming in, that should be him because no one would come in by this time of the day.I waited, staring at the door but not making it

    Maria.I woke up and found myself still lying on the cold floor, I must have slept off while crying my eyes out. I got up with my teeth shaking slightly and walked to the bathroom, I washed my face with warm water before coming out.My stomach wouldn’t stop growling since I woke up and I didn’t want to go downstairs for food.I would rather starve than eat anything from that controlling bastard.I sat on the bed and just then someone knocked on the door, I stared at it without getting up. Maybe the person will walk in if I do not get up but that didn’t happen. The knock became persistent and with a low groan, I picked up my phone and walked toward the door to answer it since I had no other choice.It was Elena and unlike in the morning when she was holding some clothes, she was carrying a tray instead.My eyes stared at the item on it and the sweet smell wafted into my nose causing my stomach ash to grumble again.“Mrs Rossi, it’s past noon and you haven’t had breakfast yet so I decid

    Luciano.Pedro’s eyes didn’t leave mine after I said that and I could feel Kyle and Adriano’s eyes on me too. They don’t need to fucking know if I had sex with my wife or not.“You will not do such a thing! You promised you weren't going to touch her.” He growled.“She is my wife and it’s customary for me to fuck her on our wedding night.” I wasn’t going to sugarcoat my words anymore.His whole face went red and his nose flared.“Bastard. I’m telling you as her father, you should not touch her again. You promised me that.” Just the same way you promised to be there for us.Idiota.“I’m her husband and I have every right to touch her.” I know the thought of me laying a hand on his daughter would make his blood boil and I like seeing it, it felt so satisfying seeing him this way.“You will not hurt her.” He said, his voice sounding a bit defeated.“You gave me your word and you will do well to keep it. You may have a few cards on your hands and so do I? Do you think it’s wise to cross t
