All Chapters of The Don's Runaway Bride: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

The next day, I spoke to Aria. We had the worst moment as we cried our eyes out when she finally opened up to me about everything she's been going through.I've been going through hell too. But none of it could compare to what she had gone through. I was able to digest everything she was saying with heartfelt sympathy until she gave me an insight into what type of men Edoardo and Pietro were.In her words; "you have to be careful and certain this is what you want. These Eppolito men are messed up in the head and once they rope you in, you won't be able to get out."Those words of hers put me on high alert, scaring the hell out of me. Later in the day, Edoardo took me into town to get a dress for the upcoming ceremony, which he made me agree would be a small celebration with family.Most of the conclusion was made by him, but I didn't object because I had a lot on my mind. Why does he want this so bad?As we drove into town, I spotted a police station. It was only a few streets away f

When we got home, I hopped out of the car, reaching back for my shopping bags from the back seat. Pushing the car door shut, I felt Edoardo's presence. "Celia," he called. "As enjoyable as it is to catch you," he flipped me around to face him. "I’m afraid I’m going to have to insist that you stop trying to run away." "You know, you’re keeping me here by force," I said. "That's right," Edoardo said. "And I’ll continue to keep you here by force until you stop running away." "Eventually I’ll succeed," I said sulkily. His eyes darkened then, and he stepped closer to me. "If you run away from me one more time, Celia, I won't tell you what I would do to you. But I'm certain you won’t like it.""Why do you want us married so badly? Is it confusion or boredom?" I asked heatedly. He gave me a look and then headed up the steps to the house. "I've always wanted you. You're the one who didn't seem to want me. But right now, if any man dare lay a claim on you, best believe that I'll have ki

Aunt Dorcas was seated on the couch smoking when I got downstairs. "Dorcas, could you take that smoke outside?" Papa called, wrinkling his nose up. "I’m not disturbing anybody," Dorcas replied."Look how much smoke you're puffing into your lungs. You'll graduate to an exhaust pipe by the time you get to eighty." Papa murmured.Freda walked in on the unfolding drama and cast an agonized look at me. I didn’t say anything because I didn't want to get in the middle of whatever Papa and his sister-in-law were doing."You know Pietro and Edoardo aren't scared of you," Freda said, "They'll just pick you up and put you on the roof while you smoke."Dorcas sighed, "Those boys have always been assholes." But she stubbed her cigarette out as her sharp ears heard a voice that resembled that of Pietro.It was only two more days until our wedding. My heart was leaping, but I didn't want to show it. The entrance door came open, and Pietro Edoardo stepped in. I felt Edoardo standing across the ro

Today's plan was successful. I took the woods instead of the road. So, no one would have thought it wise to check the woods just yet. I contemplated my situation. I was all alone in the woods, and I had no goddamn clue where I was. Why the fuck had I thought this plan would work. I turned in another direction and began to maneuver through the trees. Panic began to rise in my chest as the branches tore at my arms and dress. "Surely the house was back that way. So the road must be this way."An owl hooted nearby, making me almost jump out of my skin. The trees all formed thick canopies, making the wood quite dark. And then I saw a shape come out behind a tree at me.I screamed my lungs out. My voice was high-pitched and alarming. But with a gasp of relief, I realized that it was my husband. "Edoardo." I cried, my heart pounding. "Hello, baby," he said, his voice was like ice. "You scared the fuck out of me," I said, inadequately. "And I’m going to do much more than that pretty so

My legs were starting to ache from dancing, Edoardo looked at me and shook his head. "Let’s go," he said, pointing me to the garage."Where?" I asked. "Everyone is still here," I said, spotting Pietro in a friendly chat with Lax and a couple of other men. Papa was still dancing and eating cake. Freda and Dorcas were telling a group of women some interesting story that got them hooked."It's our night baby," Edoardo said, turning me around to face the direction of the garage. "I want to go someplace calm and sink myself inside you all night."My mouth opened slightly, and he jerked his head toward the garage. My ass was too sore to contemplate disobeying him again tonight. After driving through steep roads, hills, and endless curves, we arrived at a calm, gigantic home, completely isolated from the streets. There were security manning the gate and the house itself."Is this yours?" I asked as we drove in."No, it belongs to Pietro and Aria." He replied.He parked the car and I tried
