I woke up with a sudden jolt. My whole body was covered in sweat.My eyes were already filled with tears, gasping for breath, I tried to sit straight. I started panicking and shivering until I saw Salvatore running towards me with a glass of water. I remember everything now.I remember the hardship Adriano out me through. I remember the rough treatment. I remember the humiliation. I remember the pain.For the two months Adriano kept me away from my kids, he took a break from his work and took care of them.He made Emma fall in love with him. He is the most caring father.

She looked hurt. I could see pain in Emma's eyes. But I cannot blame her.She worships her father. Adriano is more important to her than me, I know it.My heart raced as I panicked about what to do. Emma looked frozen in shock and was clearly upset."Mommy, I will tell daddy that you were kissing Salvatore." She started crying.My heart got broken in pieces seeing her cry. She ran out of the room.I got up from the bed and ran behind her, Salvatore followed me.Emma went crying to her sister, Aida and complained to her about me."Aida, she was kissing him. Daddy will be hurt. I know she is cheating on daddy, that's why she came here." She accused me.I barged into the room and heard them talking. I immediately got angry at Emma.I am usually a very calm parent but Emma's behaviour is getting out of hand. She needs to learn that she cannot say anything that comes to her mind. I do realise that she might be feeling hurt, but I am not wrong."Emma enough!" I raised my voice at her and she

"Where is Emma?" I shouted, my head started to spin with all the negative possibilities.The next morning I went to her room to check on her, but she was not there. After yesterday I was too exhausted to talk to Emma about everything.I wanted to sit down for some time and talk to her, explain her how this is going to be our lives now. And it's for the best.I also need to be gentle with her because after yesterday's incident of her pushing Aida and me getting angry at her, I came to a conclusion that I need to use gentle parenting with Emma.She is stubborn like her father. She also gets really mad about certain things, again like her father.I went to Aida's room hoping to see that she was sleeping peacefully. I looked at the bed but it was empty.I looked for Emma in her room, called out her name several times but she wasn't there. I rushed to Aida's room, woke up Aida and asked her if she had any idea about Emma's whereabouts but she said no. Salvatore came running after hearing m

Few hours ago-Emma was feeling so confused. She had an immense amount of love for her father, Adriano.Adriano would treat her the best.Finally she came up with a plan.The moon hung low in the dark sky as Emma tiptoed through the silent mansion. Her small frame shivered with each step, a mix of fear and confusion gripping her young heart. The image of Salvatore and her mother, Emilia, kissing relentlessly replayed in her mind, a haunting scene that wounded her innocence.She cried for some time in her room then decided to run away.She was missing her father very much.The night air was cold, as Emma stepped out of the mansion. She once saw Salvatore enter the password and remembered it.Emma clutched her small backpack, she had a packet of biscuits and sipper in it and a few dollars, that she saved. Her footsteps echoed through the deserted road, she felt scared too. But now it was too late to go back. She had run away from Salvatore's mansion and she planned to never go back t

"You trust me?" Salvatore placed a hand on my knees as he questioned me.I am not sure if I totally trust him. I trust him in a way that he loves me, I trust him that he will always keep me happy. But I am a little unsure whether he will be able to find Emma and bring her back home.I tried my best to keep a poker face, from inside I was dying. Emma has been gone for several hours now and no one is able to find her.Salvatore has some friends in the police department, he dialled to them.Within half an hour several men and women knocked at your door. Salvatore let them in."All of these are police officials and are here to help us." He told me as he introduced them to me."He is Logan." He introduced me to a man, saying his name.We both greeted each other in a formal way. I was way too preoccupied with the thoughts of Emma that I was unable to focus on anything.The surrounding seemed a little blurred but I tried my mind to focus and not overthink."Logan, come let me explain everyth

Logan sent some of his men to check the CCTV cameras of the roads.If was getting worried sick. I was getting paranoid with each and every moment. I went to Aida's room for atleast 4 times in one hour to check whether she is there or not.I am too scared to lose anymore people in my life.Turns out that Emma left on her own, no body forced her or she has not been kidnapped. I started rethinking my decisions. I did not consider in the beginning that Emma will be so hurt seeing me and Salvatore as a couple. In just a couple of months she has gotten so close to Adriano that her little heart is not ready to accept any other man as her guardian.I understand that this fact is painful and difficult for her to accept but she needs to know the truth that her father is a terrible person, I am not sure that I will be able to tell her anything in details because it's horrible, and I am sure her childlike brain won't be able to listen and understand to so much trauma.Another thought stuck in my

I worked according to the plan. I am not going to be scared of Adriano this time. I will fool him instead.He cannot win against me.Salvatore came up with a plan but I am not completely relying on it. I am quite aware how clever Adriano is. He will somehow sabotage all the plans against him.And Emma needs to realise that her father is a bad person. I know in this process her heart will break. I won't tell her myself but somehow I will let her know Adriano's true face.Adriano warned me not to tell the cops about it, and I would not risk it. Because there might be some corrupt policemen who might be working for Adriano.So I only told Salvatore about it. He assured me that in order to keep me and Emma safe, Logan will do his best. Salvatore told me how he and Logan have been friends since childhood and he can be completely trusted. Salvatore told Logan not to let everyone in his department know about the phone call from Adriano. Logan exactly did what Salvatore told him to.More th

Aida was asleep when I left. I am happy about it, otherwise it would have been really difficult for me to say goodbye to her in this situation.Salvatore handed me the key of the car and assured me that he will soon come to rescue me. I need to believe him, which I do, but there is a strong fear in my mind regarding Adriano.Before getting in the car I looked back at Salvatore. He has done so much for me. Our relationship is based on maturity and equal respect for each other. This makes me even more happy. But now my life is about to take a drastic turn. I know Adriano must have planned something horrible for me. But I will bear it all until I get to know about the whereabouts of Emma.After driving for another forty five minutes I reached the address Adriano texted me.The whole street was empty and right in front of the spit where I stopped my car, there was another car already waiting for me there.I got out of my car and took my travel bag out and wheeled it to that car.I was ex

Dante ordered me to go and sit in the car. I had no other option but to obey.As I tried to step inside my heart started beating loudly.My heart was screaming to turn around and somehow try to run away. I realised I am not at all ready to go and face Adriano again. I turned around to see Dante standing near the car, he was carrying a gun in his holster. So running away won't do me any good. He might shoot and injure me while I try to escape.At the same time I was worried about Emma. I have come this far, I cannot give up. I will rescue my daughter. I reminded myself of the promises I made to myself.It's not the time to give up, it's time to act smart. So I followed Dante's words and silently got into the car.After removing all the evidence of burning my things Dante got in the car. The whole car ride was silent.We did not even look at each other. I kept looking out of the window when a sudden thought hit my mind.Why does Dante hate me so much?I never knew anyone in my whole li

I am furious that I had to leave Aida and follow his orders.I know Salvatore must be taking really good care of Aida, but I am her mother. I feel the loss.For more than twenty minutes we both sat in silence.I decided that this time I am not going to be scared of him. This time I am not going to let him brainwash me.I will stand strong.I know he had many things he wanted to say, but I am pretty sure they all will be horrible."Got back from where we started, huh?" Adriano finally broke the layer of silence.I did not respond."Emma was missing you." He commented after seeing me not react to his words earlier.And I tried my best, I truly did but I couldn't hold back."Where is Emma? How is she? I wanna see her." I sounded so desperate, which I was, for my daughter.I want to see Emma, I want to talk to her, I want to play with her, I want to hug her.There is nothing
