The Veil of Vengeance: Love, Betrayal and Redemption Valentina
This dress Marco picked out for me is beyond stunning. The vibrant orange fabric moderately hugs my curves, and at the tips of the dress, delicate feathers cascade gracefully, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. As I walk, the feathers sway gently, creating a mesmerizing effect that makes me feel like I'm floating on air.The fabric itself is incredibly soft against my skin, and the medium slit offers a tantalizing glimpse of skin with each step, adding a subtle allure to the outfit. The colour of the dress seamlessly blends with my skin tone, and it complements the hues of my hair perfectly, cascading down in loose waves, creating a balanced and glowing appearance. It's as if the dress was tailor-made to enhance my natural beauty, and I can't help but feel like a goddess wearing it.To complete the look, Marco arranged for a professional makeup artist to glam me up, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. My features are enhanced just enough to highlight my best quali

“This week, I've seen your right hand more times than I've seen your face ever since I knew you,” Chiara whines jokingly. “It's the first thing I notice when I see you and the last thing I see before you leave.”“That's because you've been staring at it,” I say feigning ignorance.“Or maybe you've just been waving it around like a flag, making sure everyone knows you're taken,” Chiara jokes. “Even the interviewer couldn't miss it during your Forbes interview yesterday.”“Fine, you got me. The ring is so beautiful,” I gush staring at the dazzling diamond.“It is. So when are you guys renewing your vows?”“We both agreed this weekend, Saturday precisely.”“No way! Why am I just finding out and didn't he just propose five days ago?”“We just decided two nights ago. We didn’t see the need to delay any longer and it's not like this is my first time getting married. Besides money isn't a problem and it's not like we are inviting any other guest aside from family, plus I want it as simple as

“Tell me the truth, Marco are you dying?”“No. Why would you ask me that?” I wonder.“You are moving at a pace that feels like you are dying.”“Very funny.”“I’m stressed. We could have flown out tomorrow in a private jet for free yet you making us go through this horrible experience barely after a long crucial meeting simply because you want to see Valentina. Really which of you is dying?”“None of us. Stop whining, you are not a child. Don’t you miss Flora? You should be happy I forced you to fly down today.”“You do know the weekend is in three days?” “Are we still on this topic?”“Don’t you think you are making hasty decisions? The public is going to think you are doing all of this to leach unto her money.”“The public can think whatever they want to think, I couldn’t care less. Nonna and mother gave me their blessings already and that's all that matters. We aren't couples who are about to just get married in case you seem to forget. It is a very small intimate occasion. Only fr

"Give me that phone young lady." I turn to see Nonna dressed in an extremely seductive night dress. What in heaven's name is happening?Before I can voice out my thoughts, mother shows up too in something similar. Ok, someone has to brief me on what is going on."We have been waiting for you." mother whines."She was talking to Marco. No more talks with or about Marco. Till Saturday morning, we are going to be bonding." Nonna says stretching me a night dress similar to theirs. All my life, I've never seen mother wear anything improper. Then suddenly seeing her in this is unbelievable. I know Nonna is very fashionable but this? I know something is about to go down. Where is my Nonna and my mother and what have you done to them? "Valentina?" mother calls out."Sorry come again?""Your Nonna and I have a lot planned out for our bonding time. Nonna has asked Alberto and James to foresee things for the next few days you won't be around. Tell her Nonna.""I want you to have the best fun

I recall memories from last night, smiling sheepishly as I flip our pancakes.“Argghhh,” Mother screams, running into the kitchen.“Alberto's response just came in as I turned on my phone.”“What did he say?”“He loves the idea and wants to know when I would be available for the date,” Mother gushes. She gives me a tight hug before kissing me on the cheek.“It’s been a long time coming. Fingers crossed it turns out to be a great dinner that will lead to many more and maybe a lifetime together.”“Me too. I should tell Nonna.”“Tell me what?”Nonna appears, trying to rub sleep from her eyes.“Alberto loves the idea of us going on a date. He also said he had always wanted to ask me out but didn’t know how you would take it.”“I’m glad Valentina made that call yesterday,” she responds, genuinely happy for Mother.“Have you guys picked a date?”“Not yet, after Valentina’s wedding.”“Wonderful. Speaking of the wedding, any update from Adanna?”“Yes, we spoke this morning. Everything has bee

As the gentle evening sea breeze blows, friends and family are all seated, awaiting Valentina’s entrance and just like yesterday, I recall how I first got married under very unpleasant circumstances, with my parents absent due to their hatred for Valentina and Giovanni, Miss Sofia, and Valentina’s friends being the only ones present at the gathering.Today we renew our vows under a different atmosphere, with everyone genuinely happy for us.I watch my world walk down the walkway alongside Nonna and Miss Sofia, with Chiara behind, as the orchestra performs a beautiful solo instrumental. Dreams do come true, although most times, one must be resilient.I smile, eager to have this whole process over and done with so I can officially claim her as my lawfully wedded wife.“Hi, beautiful,” I mouth, to which she responds with a smile.“Welcome to this auspicious occasion, everyone. We are gathered here for two lovely people who want to renew their vows once again,” the priest announces, picki

A kiss on my cheeks wakes me up from my peaceful sleep.“Wake up, sunshine,” Marco beams.“Marco… I’ve barely had any sleep, go away,” I whine, raising the duvet over my face.“You can’t blame me. You almost ran me mad coming out of the shower in that lingerie.”“And now I have to pay with a lost voice and barely any sleep.”“Are you saying it wasn’t worth it? Because I can clearly remember that’s not what you were saying last night,” he says, smacking my butt before strolling to open the curtains.“You made breakfast?” I ask, staring at the tray on the bedside table as I sit up.“Brunch, yes I did, and don’t fret. It’s just bread, sausages, and butter accompanied with a steaming cup of tea for mi lady.”“Brunch in bed? I might as well start getting used to it.”My hand hits the bedside lamp just as I am about to pick up my plate, and it goes tumbling down, shattering into pieces before I get a chance to save it.“I’m sor… I was trying… Marco, it wasn’t intentional, I’m sorry,” I plea

The peace here is unmatched, providing a perfect escape from the usual hustle and bustle of Tuscany. I’m still yet to get over the Mahi Mahi and rice from yesterday—so divine.After our long flight yesterday, we chose to relax and unwind for the rest of the day.

Unlike you, I’m a good brother always wanting to check up on you and you, on the other hand, forget your brother once you are lost in love. How’s the honeymoon going?”“Wonderful, it’s such a beautiful place to be.”“I’ve been told. How’s your wife?”“Sleeping soundly. Yesterday’s flight was a bit overwhelming.

6 years later………I roll up my hair, tying it into a bun as I prepare what the children will eat on their way to Mother’s place after Gabriella’s ballerina performance. Since the twins came along, our lives have been overwhelmed with intense joy.“Drop that floss, Gabriella!” I yell, running after her.“Daddy said I can have them,” she squeals, running outside with it.“I’ll go get her, Mama,” Gabriel says, running after her.“Thanks, baby.”Just then, Marco strolls into the kitchen.“Why are you giving me that look?”“We agreed on no sugar today, but you went behind my back and gave Gabriella permission to have cotton candy.”“What cotton candy?” he asks, trying to feign ignorance.“Marco, don’t play dumb.”“Okay, babe I’m sorry. When she asked, I intended to say no, but those big eyes got to me. It won't happen again,” he says, wrapping his arms around my waist.I gently push his hands away and reach for the children's food pack.“Baby, I said I'm sorry.”“Marco, this has to stop. Yo

As we gradually shift from autumn to winter, the smell of fallen leaves fills the air. The crisp, cool November breeze gently brushes against my bare skin as I stand outside our home, taking one final look at it before we move to our new place. I gather my last bag, smiling as many special memories here with Marco begin to play in my head.“I'm going to miss this house. We have so many good memories here.”“Me too,” Marco says staring at the house.“I know Becca is going to care for this place just like we did.”“I know she would.”“Look how far she has come. Buying her own cars and house.”“Business has been good and also, she suggested it was time to show my face.”“I agree with her. I know this isn't goodbye goodbye because we will obviously come and visit but it feels like it.”“Don’t worry, you will fall in love with this new place.”Marco drives us to our new place in Florence with our things already in place. With this new place, He went over the top. In this new home, it is l

Since Nonna learned about my bleeding, she has stopped me from going to work and instructed Mr. Thomas to step in until I give birth, which he agreed to without hesitation.Everyone went wild about the news, especially Mother and Nonna, and we all can't wait to find out their gender next month. Now that I'm showing, the general public now knows.With Mother’s wedding coming up, everyone aside from me has been super busy preparing for the big day, which is tomorrow.The only duty I’ve been given is to pick up Chiara’s dress because she wasn't around to take her measurements when we did. Once I pick it up, I drive down to the resort Nonna booked for the wedding.Nonna insisted she sponsor the wedding, and knowing Nonna, no one could argue with her. If you didn't know about our family history, you would mistake Alberto and Mother for her children.“That took you forever, sexy preggy,” Chiara says, opening the door.“Is this the thank you I get from crossing the Mediterranean Sea to get t

I pace up and down Giovanni’s corridor, seething with anger at what I witnessed hours ago. I had planned to surprise Valentina by picking her up from Nonna’s place for dinner, but I got surprised instead. I was so confused about whether to reveal myself or not. In the end, I turned around and headed for Giovanni’s place.Just a few nights ago, I was appreciating how well our marriage has been going and how open we are with each other, but what I saw today casts doubt on that belief.“So you saw her with James and?”“I didn’t like the way he was all over her. To make matters worse, she told me she was going to greet Nonna and Mother but didn't mention James would be there too.”“Okay? What if she didn’t tell you because she knew you would react like this?”“You are supposed to be on my side.”“Marco, tell me what you want me to say or do. Beat him up? Besides, you knew about his connections with the Matteos before you went in. Why do you have a problem with him all of a sudden? If you

Maintaining my pregnancy a secret till I start to show ended the moment I walked into Nonna’s place. Mother and Nonna simultaneously chorused it the second I stepped foot inside the house. Ever since Marco, Nonna, and mother found out about my pregnancy, I've been treated like an egg. With Marco, it's even worse. This man won't let me do anything at home. Mother and Nonna have made it their sole mission to stock up my house with food. Now all I do is go to work, peruse documents with my legs crossed and eat junk.It's a miracle that my clothes still fit. Preparing for the Pure Beauty Award global ceremony tonight, I put final finishing touches to my look before I slip on my heels. I wish father was here to see to witness this moment. His beauty and skin products were nominated for the Pure Beauty Award ceremony. “How do I look?” Marco asks stepping out of his closet.“Handsome as always.”“You look ravishing my love and I know you will bring home all the awards. You've shown nothin

I'm amazed at how much progress my parents and I have made. Visiting them frequently and vice versa without anyone bickering. Valentina and mother's laughter erupts from the kitchen filling the entire place as they organize lunch. “Marco, how has business been going?” Father asks, stretching a plate towards me.“It's been good, and how are you adjusting to your new line of business?”“Adjusting fine. Never knew I could do so well in supervising building projects. I'm taking that class you recommended.”“That's beautiful.”“Enough of business talks,” Mother announces, walking in with Valentina as they set the rest of the food on the table.“This smells so heavenly,” Father compliments, and I nod in agreement.“I can't take all the credit, your wife also assisted.”“Thank you both.”As we dish our food, I notice Valentina dishing a smaller portion of what she would normally eat, an occurrence that's been consistent for the past two weeks now. Also, lately, she has been easily irritated

“See that glow, you weren't this good-looking before you stepped on that plane last week. Despite the workload you came to handle after you got back, you are still looking flawless. Hmm, must be the marriage glow and the other reason why women glow,” Chiara gushes, offering me a plate of cake.“Your place just keeps getting better. I love what you did to the wall.”“Thanks, it is sad no man is surprising me with an aquarium in my home simply because I can’t get over moments from my trip.”I flush, remembering how I came home from Bora Bora to a gigantic aquarium nestled in a corner of our living room. A gift from Marco because I couldn't stop talking about our glass-bottom boat tour.“Stop being dramatic.”“I want my man too. Is there something I'm not doing right?”“Soon, you'll find your perfect match.”“I know, I just need to know how soon. I may have noticed you’re overly bubbly these days? Are you pregnant?”“What? No. Chiara, you are way too observant for my liking. You used to

These past few days in Bora Bora have been some of the best moments in my life so far. I can’t get over the beauty of the underwater world. The beautiful, colorful fishes and the coral reefs were breathtaking. I took so many pictures to last a lifetime.The thrill, fear, romance—everything—we experienced it on this trip, and I hate that we have to leave tomorrow. I don’t want it to end. My highlight has to be seeing Marco scream like a child when we went skydiving. Who ever knew that a day would come when I would see Marco Lorenzo scared of something?The lingerie Chiara and I shopped for has been nothing short of a game-changer. Chiara was right when she said they had the power to make a man lose his senses.Can the world just pause for another week so Marco and I can continue having so much fun without coming back to a truckload of work on our desks? I shudder at the thought of the workload piled on my desk right now.Cristos! Yesterday was Mother's date with Alberto, and I forgot t
