I don't know what you have done to me,
But one thing is for sure.
I am no longer the man I used to be.
................................................ 6 months later................................................Vincenzo pov
I sat in my office, a cigar placed between my lips and a piece of paper in my hand.
My eyes fixed on the words written on the ownership papers in my hand.
My wife's betrayal staring right back at me.My phone rang and I already knew who it was.
Placing it on my ear, I took a long exhale of the toxicating smoke."I have found the information Sir"
"The signatures were forged by Miss Alessa.She has transferred the 27% stake from yours to her name. Also in the latest acquisition , David has managed to increase the holdings from 13 to 24℅ .So in short Miss Alessa and David combine hold 51% shares now , making them the majority shareholders /owners of the company"
I leaned back on my seat and closed my eyes, trying not to believe the truth when I already knew this was going to happen.
6 months
The time I patiently waited for her intentions to change.
I waited for her to be loyal to me at least once.But all was no avail.She was a bi** and will remain one.
An unfaithful and deceiving one.She thought I didn't knew, her eyes trying to fake innocence.
Every night she layed in my arms and pretended to be a good wife.
Her innocent orbs fluttered my heart and I wished for just one time, just one instance when she will say the truth to me.But I was a fool to think my love will change her heart, no matter what, she will always remain faithful to her bast*** of a father.
"You know what to do"
I spoke for the first time, my rules remaining.
To reward deception with only one thing.The line went silent for a few seconds.
Unable to believe what I meant."But Sir..miss Alessa..she is your wife. Are you sure?"
I fisted my hand, crumbling the paper in the process.
Not liking his audacity to question my decision."Do I ever change my decision Mr Smith?"
"No Sir! My apologies. When should I get the work done then?"
I heard a knock on my door, and from the way the person knocked slowly, I already know who it was.
She entered with a bright smile on her face, making me wonder how she can afford to keep this double face every day.
I smiled back, with the phone still pressed to my ear.
"Can I come?"
She mouthed and I nodded with an equally fake smile.
Pushing back my seat , she got my message.She came forward and stood in front of me, her eyes downcasted and fingers interlocked in her front.
A slight blush evident on her cheeks as she took hidden glances at me."When do I get the work done Sir?"
He asked again and I held her waist and pulling her towards me.
Taking her by surprise.My eyes fixed on those innocent orbs as I replied.
"Tomorrow"
She placed her flick behind her ear and I ended the call, nearly throwing the cell on the table.
Her body balanced on my lap, as I turned her towards me. Moving my one hand higher through her crop top,touching her naked waist.I started rubbing circles on her waist and she leaned closer to me.
Enjoying my touch and craving for more."Are you busy tomorrow?"
I smiled, placing my other hand behind her neck and pulling her face closer.
Her front hits mine and she places her hands on my toned chest for balance.Her beautiful brown hair, cupping her face like a waterfall and her brown eyes,staring at my chest in shyness.
I can't help myself sometimes, my brain tells me she is pretending this innocence.
She is playing with my heart.But my stupid heart, loves to get played.It throbs at her touch ,it excites my senses."Why mio amore? You want something?"
She refused to look at me, instead her fingers started playing with my top bottom as she got lost in her thoughts.
I place my hand under her chin, making her to look up at me.
Her eyes are filled with an emotion I see quite often on her face, she is not such good actress as she pretends to be."Anything troubling my princepessa?"
She smiles, moving her head in a no.
Trying to hide that very emotion which I see quite often.Sadness.
But the question remained.
Why?Her father would not be forcing her, and even if he was.
I told her countless times to trust me.To tell me, to lay her heart open to me.Anyways, my decision was made.
Tonight was going to be our last night together and I was going to make sure it is memorable.She played with me, she still is.
And I hated her for it.But somewhere in a remote corner of my heart, I have grown some unmatchable feeling for her.
She had shown her care, she had stood by my side during my sick days.
From my food to my sleep, she has taken care of everything. She was concerned about me and I know it was not fake.She had made a cold person like me smile a bit more and I won't lie, she has managed to melt my cold exterior with her awareness.
But sadly , all good things have to end.
It would have been great to have her by my side but sadly her deception can never be forgiven.Not once or twice, she did it countless times and now it has crossed all the limits.
My patience has ended and now my rules of life stand strong.Deception can not be forgiven anymore, no matter if it comes from my own wife.
"No Vince..I just feel uneasy...I.....can I sleep with you tonight?"
I started back at her innocent orbs, not able to save myself from drowning in them.
Placing a lingering kiss on her forehead, I closed my eyes.Her hands circling around me for a hug."I want you Alessa...I want you to be mine completely tonight."
Her eyes widened at my straightforward words.
I know I was not doing the right thing, I knew it well but I just can't stop myself.I wanted her tonight, badly.
To feel her as a quivering mess under me, moaning my name and surrendering to me completely.
To forget her betrayal for once and enjoy my last night with her just this once.To love her like there is no tomorrow, because from tomorrow Alessa Rousseau will be dead for me."I want a promise Vince"
I nodded interested to hear her out.Placing featherly kisses on her neck, I enjoyed her closeness.
"Promise me that...that no matter what..you will always love me"
I stopped to state back at her, she was starting at me in desperation.
Why does it matter now?After she has lied to me countless times and deceived me, she still wants me to love her?But can I promise this?I really don't know myself.
She continued to stare, and I looked back unsure.But can't I lie to her once, it's just for tonight anyways.
I nodded, smiling back and she placed her head on my shoulder.Her hands running through my hair and next I know, she iniated by placing a kiss on my jaw.
It was the only thing I needed and next she knows, I have turned the tables and made her sit, with my body lowering on top of her.
My grip on the armrest blocking her and that's when I returned her peck by crashing my lips on her.Her croptop was discarded the very next second, and I couldn't help stop for a second and stare at her beautiful self.
Her blush intensified and she looked down, making my demons to unleash tonight.It was lust, I know but the very next second her betrayal again flashed in front of my eyes.
Mixing this uncontrollable emotion with a dangerous one called anger.I don't know when my soft touches, turned rough.
But she didn't seemed to mind.Enjoying the hickey's on her body and the mastery of my lips on not only her body but also her soul.She surrendered herself to me.To my demons, to my anger, to my hate, to every other emotion veiled in love.
She laid all flushed under me, her chest moving up and down and sweat running down her temple.
And here I have not even started.Holding her up from her waist with one hand, and clearing the table with another.
I laid her back on the teakwood table, making a grasp to leave her lips .Her eyes starting at me as I prepared her for the heights she had not even imagined.
Her thighs starting to shake with the mere play of my hands, let alone my body.Her skin was sensitive, my grip leaving redness underneath.
But she moaned in it's pleasure, fueling my lust that was now a catalyst to my hate unknown to her.Pulling her up from the back of her neck, I kissed her tenderly.
Surprising her by entering the gateway, she has guarded for so long.Before she could feel the pain, I numbed it with pleasure.
Making tears to leave her eyes but her smile to widen on her lips."Breathe mio piccolo folletto"
(My little pixie)I command and she takes in a deep breath, her chest rising taking her more to the edge.
But little did I knew I was going to get the biggest shock of my life, knowing her past experiences and affairs I has assumed that she was not a virgin.
But what I felt and saw, made me go still all of a sudden.
My anger subdued and my lust intensified.Happy to know I was her first.
But the dots were not matching, and this was the first time I questioned the girls identity that was laying in my arms moaning my name.My sources can't be wrong.
She has had 4 boyfriends before me and the relationships have been serious.How can she be a virgin?
Unless she never did it with any of them.She saw me stopping, and she looked back at me.
Her arms circling around my neck."Why...why didn't you tell me mio amore?"
I asked filled with guilt and she just smiled.
Not bothered by it."I saved it for the one I will love"
Her words made my insides scream in regret.
Can her feelings be true, maybe she is not faking.Maybe she also loves me.Don't be stupid! She has lied to you everytime!
Even this is a lie to get your trust and run with your money tomorrow.She is a gold digger!Nothing more!She held my face in her palms, pulling me closer and encouraging me to complete what we have started.
Her next words making me question all hatred and anger I harboured for her."I love you Vincenzo Accardi. Have and always will till this heart beats in my chest."
I couldn't stop now, not when she was enjoying playing with my emotions using her lies.
She wants love? I will make sure mine is the only one she will remember after this night.With this I joined my forehead with hers and whispered the last words, before I entered her entirely.
"odio i traditori amore mio e tu lo sei appena diventato."
(I hate betrayers, my love..and you have just become one)
"To look into my eyes and lie,Is courage.But to think I believed your lying words and fake smiles, Your foolishness.....................................................Her heart was rapidly beating in her chest as she drove towards David's house.Her eyes falling on the piece of paper placed on the passenger seat.Vincenzo will never forgive her after this, and she knows very soon he will come to know about this.Tears leaked her eyes, making the road look hazy.Why does love hurt so much?She never thought she will fall in love,especially with a person like Vince.He was cold, distant and arrogant inially but slowly she came to know of his hidden side.The side he keeps protected and unseen.From who you ask?From people like her, who break hearts and are a disgrace to the 4 letter word ,love.Her hands were tied in this situation.It was her brother over her love for Vince.And no matter what, she can't be selfish.Her journey was interrupted when she saw two cars following her

You say I am unfaithful?AgreedBut don't forget that you were asking faith from the one who has lost her faith from this world...................................................Amara's povThey will kill me very soon.My mind tells me as I stare at myself in the mirror.My hand runs on my belly and fresh tears strain my eyes.I have to make a plan, or else two lives will end with my decision.I look at Chris who stood behind me, his eyes taking in my slim figure and sympathy evident in his eyes.But I knew he won't help me.No one would, I have to try myself.They were taking me to Giordini estate.Without my permission of course.David was getting frustrated with Vince's hatred towards me.He wanted Vince to trust me again , for what you ask.To have me betray him again.He had it all planned and I foolishly did everything he asked.But not anymore, today I will break free from his prison."Aiden is safe Amara, you have to trust me. Don't do anything foolish"I scoffed, smiling wh
"If I die today,don't cry cursing our fate.Just open your arms and feel the winds that I am sending your way"..................................................Amara pov"She failed her mission. She is of no use to us now."Said David,to the person on the phone.His angry stare fixed on me."Yes,we have to go underground for some days"He looked at one of his guards and ordered them to take me to a separate car.I refused to protest,too lost trying to digest all that happened inside.But still I knew of one thing for sure.The meaning of the word'of no use'It is not freedom.Never.It is much worst that it,something that can shut one's mouth forever.Something that can end Alessa Rousseau forever.A black cloth was tied on my eyes and I could feel ropes binding my wrists.I was made to sit inside the car,and I could hear the driver talking to David."Make it look natural and somewhere far away. You can cross the borders for all I care but make sure the work is done."His next words
"You may have left,but your betrayal remains,Reminding me everytime that innocent faces are nothing but false fascades."................................................ 3 years later...............................................Vincenzo povI stood in the driveway of my parents house,while leaning my back against my car.My eyes shifting to the watch on my wrists,my leg shaking in boredom.It's been 10 minutes already!I have cancelled a meeting for this,she better hurry if they want me to agree to this.Clicking sound was heard and I looked up.My breath stopping for a second as I took in the beauty.A black dress adored her perfect figure,highlighting her curves.Which she swayed elegantly with sass and style.Kissing her cheeks,I greated her and for a second awkward silence got extended between us.Holding open the door for her as a gentleman should,I sat on the driver's side and started the engine.Slow music played in the car and neither of us tried to start a convers
"You search for pearls you find shells,You desire love,but you only get regrets"....................................................Shelly came for living to only see the little guy in surprise.He was sitting on Vincenzo's lap, enjoying the food like he hasn't eaten in ages.Vincenzo's cold eyes softening taking in the small guy.Shelly knew he was cold hearted,his words showing it clearly.But the guy she stared at right now,was soft and vulnerable.He had goodness,but he didn't showed it to just anyone.His cold face,a requirement for his business and position."Good morning Vincenzo"She says, making him to look up.His smile vanishing and coldness replacing it.He nodded in acknowledgement,making the kid to sit on the sofa and eat.The young boys brown eyes fell on her and she politely smiled in return.The boy looked away shyly, moving away from the food.Vincenzo took notice of this and didn't like it a bit."Aiden have your food."He ordered and got up, the boy nodded shyly
"Have you ever seen a plant grow inside a rock?I have and trust me when I sayI have also seen it split the rock to two with just some patience and persistence."..................................................."Sir! We are ready to strike!"I nodded, making my men to proceed inside.The gun,nicely tucked in my pockets as I preferred my hands to first break that bast*** jaw myself.To be followed by his bones and furniture.A big meeting was going on,I could see clearly.Top men of mafia were seated on chairs all around the table,and soon my men surrounded them and I entered.They stood up in respect and fear.Some were scared to be caught meeting hands with my enemy ,others just accepting the situation.My eyes fell on David,his mouth open in shock at my audacity to not only raid his place but also distrupt his very important meeting.My men surrounding him,as I sit on his table in boredom and pick up the papers on his table."Vincenzo my son..long time no see.

.....................................................8 years later.....................................................The walls of the Accardi estate were getting used to the laughing and babbling of the kids who have been running in the halls screaming whole day.The maids running behind them, trying to feed one while change clothes of other.But the kids were next level of notorious, troubling the maids deliberately."Arsenio Accardi!You better listen to me boy! I will be complaining to your father!"The maid screamed and the girl with blue eyes stopped for a second, afraid of her threat.When she felt a strong grip on her hand and she looked up at her partner in crime. Arsenio's brown eyes sparkled with excitement, brave and fearless as his name.Dark black locks complimenting his light skin , and a beautiful dimple adoring his cheeks.Pulling the girl along, they giggled and ran.To only have them collide with a brick of wall.Not a wall exactly, but a boy of 18 who was way o
To forgive you, I have to first forgive myself.Because it was my very heart that betrayed me first , fighting against the restrains I had set."......................................................I felt something grab my ankle and next I know I was stumbling and falling forward.Before I could touch the ground, my body landed on something soft right under me.Thousands of gun shots reverberate together and the men around started falling next to me , dead.I couldn't understand what was happening.Was I dead? What was happening?I felt two warm arms embrace around me, holding my frail body in their grip as I struggled to breathe."I got you, mio amore"Came his voice as a mere whisper next to my ear, the gunshots no longer audible.I inhaled and his cologne entered my senses, calming me almost instantly."V...Vince..?""Shhhh"He says placing his one hand behind my head and making me press my face to his chest.Rolling over, he makes my back hit the ground as he towered over me for
"Many will say that they can take a bullet to save you,But a man like me?I will hand over my gun to you, train you and tell you to do it yourself.For each girl is capable to protect herself.".....................................................The bullets were being fired in consecutive spree, breaking and ruining the entire hallway.Heavy footsteps were heard approaching and concern filled my insides.Pulling Shel along , I manage to reach the back door. Mar doing the same.Luckily there was still time for them to surround us from the back."Take Shel and leave from back. I will manage here."They both looked at me in disbelief.Fuc*What's wrong with them!They are here, any second we will be surrounded."Are you crazy Vince! We are outnumbered! They will kill you dammit! I are not leaving you!""Protect Shel Mar! I will manage here! Leave! Hurry!"She held my arm , her eyes tearing."We can't leave you...please Vince..come with us!""He has Aiden with him Shel..I can't.

I stands outside the Rousseau werehouse. My back leaning on my car bonnet.The guards look at each other, waiting for their leaders order who surprisingly seemed very calm and composed.A cigarettes in between my fingers , clouds of smoke surrounding me."Sir? Are we waiting for something?"John manages to ask to only get silence in reply.I looked at my watch and then exhaled a long puff of smoke.Lifting myself up from the bonnet and straightening my back.I throw away the burned cigarette and turns around to look at the group of 20 men backing me."No one follows me once I step inside."Everyone looked surprised. They were backup,they were supposed to go in behind me and save me if an emergency arises.Standing outside,they will not be able to save me if something happens inside."But boss you can't go inside unarmed and without backup?"John asked concerned about me ,while my eyes hardened at him.Stepping closer to him ,I speaks in a voice cold and words emotionless."Do not quest

Where has he hiding Amara? Call the bast***!"Shel stares back at him in coldness.Her words making him stop in his track."The only bast*** here is you ,Mar. Don't you dare accuse Vince !"Mar looks at her in disbelief,not believing that she was cursing him and taking Vince's side."Why? You think your fiance is a genuine man?

Vincenzo pushes the doors of Black Estate open. The blood covering the marbled floor making his grip on the pistol to tighten."Sir! You can't enter!"Vince pushes the guard harshly making him land on the ground.Looking around ,he found Mar standing there frozen,like he was a corpse.Grabbing him from his collars,Vince shook him to only have those dead eyes look up at him."How can you let them take him! Just how useless can you be?"Vince could smell alcohol from him,he was too drunk and still not in his senses.He had seen him drinking like crazy during his ring ceremony with Shelly. The reasons still unknown to him."Answer me Dammit!"The next words Mar spoke made Vince's hand to drop from his collar."He...he called and told me to transfer....70% of my businesses to him if I want Aiden alive..how.....I worked all my life.... earning this...how can I?

"Shel?"I barely whisper as I turn around and look at her.She held a birthday cake in her hands,the flame from the candle lightning her face.Regret hits me ,as I realised what it would have looked like.Her eyes shift between Amara and me and I could see confusion evident in them.She doesn't know that Amara is Alessa only, my first wife.I never told her deliberately."Shel wow..a birthday cake? Whose birthday is it?"Amara says with a mocking smirk on her lips, enjoying the straining in our relationship.She was enjoying this,this has been planned by her.Shel couldn't answer,her eyes fixed at me as if she couldn't believe what she has seen.Placing the cake on the side table, she steps back from Amara."Excuse me"She said , turning around to leave.. I race towards her but before I could follow her ,a pair of arms block my way and I was met with Amara's challenging stare.I tried side stepping,but she blocked me every time.Standing in the threshold , refusing to move aside."Wha
