2025-03-19 23:44:43The ride back home was tense and quiet. Neither Rhea nor Adrian muttered a word to each other. The air inside the car was heavy and thick with something unspoken yet volatile.
As soon as they got to the house, Adrian shut the front door behind them; his patience snapped like a live wire. “What the fuck was that back there?” His voice was sharp, cutting through the silence. Rhea turned to him, eyes narrowed. “What was what?” she shot back, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she walked to the staircase. Adrian was on her in an instant, his fingers curling around her wrist again, yanking her back. “Don’t fucking play dumb with me, Rhea, and don’t you fucking walk away when I’m talking to you,” he growled. “Who the hell was he?” Rhea wrenched her arm free, glaring up at him. “You mean Alex?” she scoffed. “He’s no one. Just an ex who thought he could offer his condolences.” Adrian’s jaw clenched. “That didn’t look like just an ex.” “Oh, and I suppose you’re an expert on what an ex should look like?” Rhea snapped. “Because if we’re keeping count, I caught Selene, your lover, staring at you at my own father’s funeral, like she still owns you.” Adrian took a step closer, his body towering over hers. “Don’t turn this around on me.” “Then stop acting like a jealous husband.” His eyes flashed. “You think I’m jealous?” Rhea let out a dry laugh. “Oh, please. You’ve barely looked at me since our wedding. Why do you suddenly care who I talk to?” Adrian didn’t answer. He just stared at her, with a visible anger on his face. They were standing too close for comfort and breathing heavily. Then, before she could say another word, he moved. One second, she was standing her ground; the next, Adrian grabbed her face and backed her against the wall. And then without giving it any thought, his lips crashed into hers They began sucking each other's tongues hungrily like they had not kissed in decades. Raw passion burned through them. Rhea gasped against his mouth, her fingers instinctively gripping his hair. His kiss was punishing, filled with all the frustration and unspoken tension between them. Adrian growled low in his throat, his body pressing against hers, his hands skimming down her waist, pulling her closer. His lips moved to her jaw, then her neck, his breath hot against her skin. He licked her like she was honey. He ran his hands down to her chest area to feel her breasts, but he was met with an obstacle. The black dress she was wearing had no buttons, so he pulled the material away from her and tore it in one try. And there was her perfect cups of breast held in place by her lacy brassiere. Sexy and succulent. Adrian could have sworn he had never seen boobs as perfect as Rhea’s. Seductively, Rhea unhooked her bra, and Adrain gasped. Like lightning, he scooped one of them in his hand and covered the other with his mouth. He suckled on them like his life depended on them. He nibbled on her nipples and she had a wave of pleasure rush through her veins. His dick was hard and Rhea could feel the bulge against her thighs when he resumed kissing her. He could not stop kissing her, something about her lips made him hungrier for them. She took her hands to his shirt and undid the buttons. Upon reveal, she saw his well-toned chest. It was hairy as well, and Rhea could feel the liquid streaming down from her pussy. She nibbled on his nipples in reciprocity, and Adrian moaned. He reached for her panties. It was a G-string pant, so there was not much of an obstruction. Sticking his fingers into Rhea’s pussy, she moaned out loud in pleasure. He felt it; he felt the wetness in her, and at that moment he just wanted to own it. “You’re mine, cara,” he murmured against her throat. “Do you hear me?” “I’m yours, Adrian.” She was in no place to disagree; his finger was working its way up and down her pussy. Her very wet pussy. He smirked against her skin. “Is that right?” Then, just as suddenly as he had grabbed her, Adrian pulled back. His breathing was uneven, his pupils blown wide. But instead of softening, his expression darkened, his lips curling into a smirk. “Maybe all you need is a good fuck from me to get over your father’s death.” The words slammed into her like a physical blow. Rhea’s body went rigid. And then, with all the strength she had, she shoved him away. “What the fuck did you just say?” she hissed, her voice shaking with rage. Adrian barely stumbled back, but the regret was already reading across his face. He knew he had fucked up. “Rhea… ” “Get out!” she screamed, her chest heaving. “Get the hell out!” For a moment, he just stood there, his jaw tight, his hands clenching at his sides. But then, without another word, he turned and walked out, slamming the door behind him. Rhea sank to the floor, her hands shaking. She had known Adrian was ruthless. But she hadn’t realized just how much he could break her, without even trying. And silent tears streamed down her face, each one heavier than the last.

Adrian drove to the club.He needed to clear his head.He needed to know why he felt so guilty for what he said to Rhea.He had never been the one to care about any woman’s feelings. His mom died giving birth to Luca, his brother, and he did not have any sisters, so there was no woman on the planet he had ever tried to spare her feelings.So why was tonight different?The anger in Rhea’s eyes after he made that statement bothered him more than he wanted.Maybe all you need is a good fuck from me to get over your father’s death.What arsehole says that to his grieving wife? An arsehole like him, apparently.His mind flashed to their passionate moment. He could still taste her lips, and he wanted more of it. But not tonight. Tonight he was going to go fuck some other bitch to get Rhea off his mind. He was not about to let some Moretti woman get to him, whether she was his wife or not.He stepped on the accelerator harder, and in few minutes he was at the club.The bass from the speaker

It’s morning, and Rhea was lying in her big bed alone. She was awake as soon as the morning light came into the room through the curtains, not that she even got enough sleep the night before.Rhea could not sleep because she kept tossing and turning in bed. Her mind was cluttered with different thoughts. She kept ruminating on everything that happened the previous day.Her late father’s funeral, the man who, despite sending her into enemy territory under the guise of marriage, was the sole parent she knew. She had no knowledge of who her mother was, and every time she had asked Enrico, he said her mother ran away to America and never returned.Maybe if she had a maternal figure in her life, she would know how to tread this marriage of hers to get what she wants. Maybe if she were there, Dante would not have been so heartless and without empathy to tell her to continue to live in the lion’s den just for revenge.Wishful thinking. That was all she had anyways.Her mind flickered to Alex

“Breathe in, Signora. I’ll be done soon,” said Antoinette to Rhea as she fastened the last button on the back of her gown and also tied the corset ropes as well.Rhea barely paid attention as she stared at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a bright red silk dress that hugged her body like a second skin. The high slit on the front left of the dress mildly exposed her thighs when she walked. The corset-style bodice also accentuated her curves.She chose the dress on purpose, forgoing all the other options Antoinette brought for her. This was going to be her first official outing with Adrian, and she was not going to look anything less than desirable and powerful.She smoothed her hands over the fabric, and when she met her own gaze in the mirror, she knew she looked stunning. Tonight, she wasn’t just Adrian Vitale’s wife or late Enrico Moretti’s daughter, she was a statement on her own.“Oh, they’ll stare tonight.” Antoinette said amusingly to her. “Some with admiration and some w

After what seemed like a long drive, they finally got to the destination—the Governor’s Manor. When they pulled up, one of Adrian’s men, who was in another car in their convoy, came out quickly and opened the door for Adrian and then for Rhea.Adrian stepped out first, straightened the collar of his tuxedo and the bow tie before stretching out his hand to Rhea. She hesitated but only for a second before she placed her hand on his.They looked so perfect together, a striking vision of power and excellence. His height, piercing eyes, and his sharp black suit complemented her breathtaking beauty, plus the red dress she wore. If you saw them, you’d know they weren’t just a couple but a dangerous force.As they entered the ballroom, heads turned and whispers were heard.“The new Mrs. Vitale.”“She’s stunning.”“A Moretti as a Vitale… the irony.”These and more were some of the side comments people made.“Stay close,” Adrian murmured at her ear, his breath hot against her skin.Rhea ignore

The hush that fell over the room was subtle and respectful, as the Governor of Palermo, Sicily, stepped onto the grand stage at the head of the ballroom.The governor, who was an older man, had silver hair and sharp eyes and was dressed in a crisp suit that cost more than most of the people in his city made in a year. Governor Francesco Ricci had been in office long enough to know that his real power did not lie in his policies but in the men standing in this very room.The mafia leaders, business tycoons, and corrupt officials.They were the real rulers of this city.“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his voice smooth and practiced, “welcome to another evening of unity and prosperity.”Rhea nearly scoffed.Unity? Prosperity? In a city where blood ran through the streets like rainwater? Where power changed hands not through elections, but through bullets?He must be kidding, she thought to herself.“It is because of our city’s greatest minds, our most dedicated leaders, that we continu

“Get us the fuck out of here,” Adrian ordered, his voice, commanding.“I’m trying!” Marco snapped, swerving through the narrow road, barely missing a row of parked cars. “They’re boxing us in!”Luca cursed. “We need to take them out before we get pinned.”Adrian finally moved, reaching for his gun. “Then let’s take them out.”In one swift motion, he shifted, lowering his window. The moment a black SUV pulled up beside them, he fired. He fired two quick shots, one of which went through the driver's side. The vehicle spun out and then slammed into a street lamppost.It was both terrifying and mesmerizing: the precision, the complete lack of hesitation. Adrian was lethal in a way that didn’t require theatrics. Every movement was calculated, every bullet counted.The last remaining SUV accelerated, trying to close the distance.“Marco,” Adrian warned.“Yeah, yeah, I see them,” Marco growled, steering the car toward a wider street. “Hold tight!”The moment they cleared the intersection, on

Adrian stared at Rhea, his fingers tracing her jawline as the words settled between them. His blue eyes looked directly into hers“You’re a virgin?” His voice was softer now, laced with surprise.Rhea held his gaze, refusing to shrink under his scrutiny. “Yes. But not naive,” she said to him, determined not to appear fragile.He was quiet, as if processing the weight of her words. He reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before his fingers trailed down her throat and down to her chest.“You should’ve told me earlier,” he murmured, his thumb stroking her skin.“Would it have changed anything?” she countered. “Yes.”Rhea arched a brow. “Are you going to stop now?”A slow smile appeared on Adrian’s lips. “Not a chance.”He moved in then, capturing her lips in a deep, consuming kiss. It was different this time; less urgency, more reverence. “I promise I’ll be gentle with you, cara.”Having said that, he trailed kisses from her lips and moved downwards. When he got t

Rhea woke up slowly. She could feel an all-around soreness on her body, but mostly between her thighs. The dull ache between them was the first reminder of what happened last night between her and Adrian. She could feel the lingering warmth of his hands.Her eyes fluttered open, and was greeted by the soft golden light streaming in through the curtains covering the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom that supposedly belonged to the both of them. He had never spent the night in this room before. It had always been just her, while he spent his nights somewhere else, sometimes not even within the estate.But last night changed that.She turned slightly, expecting to find him beside her, but the bed was empty. The sheets were cold on the side where he had lain last night.Of course, he was gone.What did she expect?Adrian Vitale was not a man who indulged in lingering softness. He had taken her, made her feel things she had never felt before, and then moved on, just like that

It was just another morning. The sky was still pale with early light, casting long shadows through the small, sleepy Sicilian village.Rhea walked briskly toward the café, arms tucked into her light jacket, her boots tapping against the uneven cobblestones. The streets were mostly quiet at this hour, but a few familiar faces were out.“Buongiorno, Sofia!” called out Mrs. Fabici, the old florist who always opened her shop early.“Buongiorno, Mrs. Fabici,” Rhea smiled warmly.A young delivery boy cycled past and gave her a nod. She returned it with a polite smile, then turned into the narrow side street that cut behind the church, a quicker route she’d taken dozens of times.Then it happened.A black van screeched around the bend ahead. The sound of tires scraping the edge of the road made her stop mid-step. The van slowed too quickly and sharply, making her stomach twist. Something was wrong.The side door flew open.Two men in dark hoodies jumped out.Rhea froze for half a second befo

Rhea, with a tinge of excitement within her, continued her day. When she got home, she made dinner and did some other chores while humming songs she had picked up recently. Pietro returned, and she served dinner. As they both ate, he noticed that her eyes seemed happier, and she was bubblier than usual. “You eyes are glowing, bambina. Anything new at work?”Rhea nodded. “I remembered something today.”That made him sit up to listen more. “A dream?” he asked cautiously.“No,” she said. “Not a dream or one of those foggy flashes. This…this one, zio, it felt real. Like a real memory. Something that actually happened.”He studied her face and saw her excitement. “Tell me.”“Today at the cafe, the television was on. I looked up and saw Governor Ricci speaking on the TV. Next thing I know, I was somewhere else. I saw myself in a ballroom or something like that.” She swallowed. “People, including myself, were dressed fancy, talking, and drinking. The governor was on something like a sta

Rhea was beginning to settle into her routine. Her training with Pietro was progressing. She had learned and was still learning self-defense and survival.Pietro was able to get her the new papers, an official ID with her new name and a clean record. A very important step towards blending into the real world without people knowing she was living on zero personality or memories.Not long after, she started working at a local cafe, where the owners welcomed her. The work wasn’t so difficult as it involved waiting tables, taking orders, and serving coffee. She was careful to keep her head down and not draw attention to herself. Her job gave her a sense of normalcy, and the people she met there were kind.Ryea didn’t engage much, but she learned to read people by observing their habits, their moods, and even their small gestures. It became a way for her to feel some sense of control in her new life.It was midday at the cafe, and the shift was usually the calmest because it was after the

Pietro, the fisherman, sat in his usual spot on the small cottage porch with a cigarette between his fingers, smoking and looking out to the horizon. As soon as Rhea came out to join him, he squashed the cigarette and threw the stub away. “I don’t want you inhaling smoke because of the baby.” He said to Rhea, who had just taken a seat close to him. Baby. It was still a difficult concept to grasp, especially since her stomach was still looking flat and normal. She watched the sky and then gently rested her hand on her belly, as if to feel the baby. “I need to start living again,” she said quietly, but Pietro heard her.He glanced at her through the corner of his eye. “You are living.”“No,” she said, shaking her head, “I’m surviving. Breathing, eating, and hiding.” Her voice strengthened with each word. “But I can’t hide behind your kindness forever. You pulled me from the river and saved me; you gave me shelter, and I’ll never forget it. But I have to be something more than thi

When Adrian woke up the next morning at the sight of dawn, his body ached with exhaustion. The pleasure he had indulged in last night was necessary at that time; it was a means for him to escape the only thought that had been on his mind. But now that he was awake in the cold and quiet morning after, the heartache crept back in. He always tried to deny it, but his feelings for Rhea seemed to be growing stronger in the wake of her death. It felt sharper and more suffocating.His eyes flickered over to the bed where both Selene’s and the blonde girl’s bodies were sprawled out on the bed, naked.He held back nothing in their sexual activities last night, and even as they slept on this morning, he could see the satisfaction and tiredness on their faces. He wasn’t called Adrian Vitale, the masterfucker, for nothing.He sighed and then swung his legs off the bed, his feet hitting the cold floor of his luxury suite. The reality of the scenario settled on his chest again. None of these m

Adrian and the ladies made their way to the luxury suite that was always reserved for him in the hotel section of the casino.When they got to the suite, the bucket of champagne bottles he had ordered prior was already waiting for them on the table that was at the center of the room. “Mmmmhhh… Champagne,” the blonde said with excited eyes. “I told you tonight was for fun.” Adrian said as he picked up one bottle from the bunch and opened it. Selene at the other end of the room smiled. She was already tipsy from all the whisky she had consumed at the casino.More champagne couldn’t hurt.He poured the drink into glasses for them, and they both picked it up and gulped from it. While still savouring the rich taste of the drink, Adrian pushed the blonde against the wall in a dominating manner. He studied her face, and the next thing, he tore her dress from the middle. The two ladies gasped at the display of strength. Adrian smirked while still pinning her against the wall. And then

“Fine. But don’t think for one second this changes anything.” Selene said, rolling her eyes. Adrian’s smirk didn’t fade. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”“There’s an extra catch to the fun we having tonight.” Selene looked up at him with delight. “What?”Adrian leaned in closer, his lips almost grazing her ear as he whispered, “I want another girl.”Selene pulled back slightly, her eyes narrowing as she processed Adrian’s words.Her lips curled into a tiny smile. She wanted his dick inside her, but she was equally down for some extra fun; after all, she was a bad girl. But why didn’t Adrian want just her?“A threesome, then?” She asked, a mix of bitterness and amusement in her voice.Adrian gave a slight nod, his smirk very noticeable. “Exactly. One that you won’t forget.”The idea wasn’t foreign to her; she knew exactly what he was capable of. She smiled. “Well, if that’s the case, I’m choosing.”Adrian slapped her butt lightly.“Hahaha….. I’m gonna have to trust your judgement, Selene.”
Twisted Loyalties Chapter 49
When Adrian entered the casino , a lot of eyes turned to him. He was the almighty Vitale, of course. Even some smaller mafia family members in attendance recognised the arrival of a larger player, therefore knowing they were no longer in charge. The casino was alive with energy, and the lights shone and sparkled very brightly. People were everywhere, laughing, talking, and shouting. You could also hear loud shouts of joy from people that had just won big.The crowd was mixed with well-dressed men and beautiful women dressed beautifully. Waitresses were carrying drinks around with smiles on their faces and engaging customers.Flanked by two of his men, he made his way towards the VIP section. Here, only the rich who were willing to gamble with hundreds of thousands of dollars were allowed to play. There was no room for bargainers or low-level gamblers. When he got to the VIP section, he joined the men there playing a game of poker. Chips were stacked in front of them, indicating the

Adrian was seated in his office, which is located in the city. He had just spent the whole day in meetings and speaking with business partners.Some needed an extra level of convincing that things were back to normal and that their businesses and investments were safe with the Vitales, and Adrian did a good job at that.His icy blue eyes were lost in thoughts; his mind drifted off to Rhea, and the ache he felt in his chest today was still as heavy as the day he found out about the betrayal and everything that followed it.Luca came into the office, and shortly after, Marco entered.Adrian didn’t look up yet as he flipped through some documents on his table before finally speaking.“Any news about the fucking Bianchis?” Adrian asked, still with his face buried in the documents.“Quiet. Almost too quiet,” replied Marco.Adrian looked up, his eyes narrowing. “I don’t like quiet. It means they are planning something. What are they playing at?”Marco exchanged a quick glance with Luca, who
