Ariana’s pov~“Mateo surely you would accept the rules of this parley you have agreed to and get your hands off my daughter” my father stated as he walked towards us., “We are legally married” he informed him, I watched as Mateo clenched his fist as he looked sternly at my father, his gaze heavy with hate. “You agreed to this marriage, we signed a deal, surely FATHER you remember the deal” he added.My father’s face turned into a scowl as he shot deadly glares at Mateo and then at me, I was used to his gaze, I'd known it all my life, this unexplained hate he harboured for me.Sometimes I wondered about what happened between these two that made it unbearable for each of them to stay in the same room.After all my father raised him too.“Silvio, I know this is your doing, dragging my father into this” he accused turning to Silvio, Silvio was quiet, “I'm going to offer you the same thing, you offered me at the train station, this time I will triple it, we can avoid this parley altoget

Ariana’s pov~Slowly I opened my eyes, the stinging pain was gone in place of terror loomed as I saw the blurred figure of two men standing over me, I was on my bed at the dukedom, and I felt something attached to my arm, slowly I brought my hand to touch it, I felt like a cusp, then I heard it, the sound of a hospital monitor, bringing me back to reality, then it hit me, I slumped again. I blinked and my vision became clearer, the duchess was sitting on the bed with me a look of worry on her beautiful victorian powdered face, she had a stethoscope over my heart as she listened to the earpieces intently, she also checked my palms and my eyes.“She needs blood, you said she has lost a lot of blood? She’s anaemic, which of you thought was a grand idea to bring a sick woman to a parley?, she needs to be in the hospital” the Duchess thundered, her tone changed into a deeper one. It made me curious. Who is this funny-dressed woman and why do these men respect her, I've never met anyone w

Mateo’s pov~ Silvio ran and grabbed her arm and quickly put it down before anyone else could notice, “ Ariana are you okay, we saw all the messed up things he said, he touched you when he shouldn't,” he said pitifully, I was dumbfounded, what exactly is this newfound fuckery and whose idea was it. I looked at the three people who just flew in like I had just slit the throat of the royal prince of England. “Silvio what kind of cowardly sick cunt are you, couldn't even take her from me like a man, are you that afraid of me” he snickered. “afraid of you? I assure you it was an honest intention” he snickered, He got up and I quickly glanced at Ariana, but she was deep in sleep again, what did this sick bastard do to her?“What the fuck did you do to her, she told me you put a fucking camera in the room, are you that obsessed with what I own Silvio?” I asked I glared at him, his presence disgusted me and intrigued me at the same time, he is my venom as I am his poison, and to say his

DON RINALDI’S POV~“How can a woman I've known all my life? not be… what are you saying, there are pictures, raw evidence of my birth, my father he is a weird man I know, he watches it almost every night, so I know that she is my fucking mother” Silvio interjected.“That’s not Liana Bianchi, that’s her mother’s other daughter, her half-sister, the impure one, she had to marry your father in her place if anyone ever finds out that she’s not the real Bianchi that was promised, your legitimacy as a true Argento will be in question. some have noticed how your eyes don't match his the way your sisters does. the streets talk, they say you don't look like him, this information must never leave this room for your own sake,” I said, I looked at him before glancing at the confused Mateo and back to him, luckily it seems he understood my gesture, he turned to Mateo, and back to me.“you are trying to play games here don Rinaldi, I know you, I know how you move, you are a snake, you want to distra

Ariana’s pov~ The hotel uniform fit so well you would think I'd been working here for a long time, it was perfectly undetectable as Aleid led me through the unsuspecting crowd. It was exciting, exhilarating, and freeing as I took one bold step after another, but still, I was wary of Silvio’s lurking guards. The hotel lobby was bustling and everyone minded their business, thankfully moving past them was a success, and moments later we were inside Aleid’s car, I got in the back and hid and off we went. I looked back at the hotel as the beautiful gates closed behind us, free at last! I touched my belly lightly, and I felt a mild flutter. “Yes my love, we are free at last,” I said under my breath, I saw Aleid smile in the mirror. “I can't thank you enough, Aleid,” I said touching her shoulder lightly, “Well now I can't show my face here again, your husband is going to know it's me, I have made plans to also leave with my daughter today,” she said, I nodded my head in understanding.
