The Untypical Marriage
“If you think that you have been living in hell all your life, let me break that illusion for you,” Adrian said. He spoke slowly, his voice full of menace.
“This place–this is true hell, right here, where I am. His statement, “In this place, death is not an escape, no matter how much you may yearn for it,” was enough to make the audience shudder, but all that tiny figure did was raise her lifeless, dull eyes.
“Then help me, so I can remain here.” She replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Chapter: chapter 117KIRA’S POVThis is a bad idea.No… This was a very bad idea.My head screamed with a thousand reasons to turn back, but it was already too late. I forced in a breath and walked down the hallway until I reached Romano’s cell. He was hanging upside down on the bars, doing some kind of military exercise, sweat dripping from his chest.“I knew you’d be back,” he rasped, his voice rough and amused all at once.“He didn’t know,” I said flatly.The sooner I say what I wanted, the sooner I can get out of here. This place gives me the creeps.Romano, still hanging on the bars, stilled, his eyes narrowing. “Who didn’t know?”“Adrian,” I stated. “He didn’t know who she was. He told me everything.”The memory clawed back into my chest. Last night, Adrian had let me in… peeling back the layers he’d kept hidden for years. He told me Giana wasn’t his mother… she was Dylan’s. That the woman he had killed, the one who haunted his silence, was his real mother… along with her husband. He told me how Pau

Chapter: chapter 116Adrian’s POVI stood on the edge of the cliffside overlook, the wind tugging at my coat as I gazed over the sprawling valley below. The sun was setting already, and far beneath me, the river coiled, its surface shimmering.I wasn’t here for the view, though it was exhilarating. A place high enough to see anyone approaching and isolated enough from others. I checked my watch once, then again, tapping my fingers against the cool stone railing.Footsteps approached from behind, soft and deliberate. I didn’t turn until the figure stopped a few paces away.“You’re late,” I said without looking at him.The man gave a short shrug. “Traffic, boss.”I finally turned, my eyes sharp. “I need you to find something… or rather, someone.” I paused, letting the weight of my words settle. “The grave of Luciana Ferdenez. You’re the best I know. Dig up everything you can.. location, history, anything you can literally find. Report back to me the moment you have it.”The wind picked up, carrying the scen

Chapter: Chapter 115KIRA’S POV~~~~The door swung open before an answer came.Gianna stood there, framed in the doorway like she owned it. Her eyes swept over the scene me standing too close to a half-naked Antonio..Her lips curved, but it wasn’t a smile.“Well, well…” she drawled, stepping inside without invitation. “It didn't take you long to get comfortable, did it?” Her gaze raked over me like I was dirt under her shoe. “Guess the rumours are true. You’ll spread your legs for anyone if your husband’s not looking.”The word “whore” wasn’t spoken, but it hung in the air, dripping off every syllable.My spine went rigid, heat crawling up my neck. This was not a good look.“You should leave,” I said evenly, though my voice was tight.She tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Oh, don’t get all righteous with me, sweetheart. We both know your type. Pretty face… easy morals… a nice, warm distraction for the men while the real women handle the important

Chapter: Chapter 114Adrian’s POVMy arm swung across the bed, searching for Kira’s warmth… but found nothing but cold sheets.I sat up, frowning at the clock. Forty-five minutes. That’s how long she’d been gone for water. Since when did getting a damn glass take nearly an hour?My gut twisted, not just from her absence, but from the basement incident. What if she decided to go down there after all? Kira wasn’t the type you could stop. Hell, I could stop her… but part of me didn’t even want to.I needed to get rid of Romano fast. His presence was like a festering fly, buzzing even from behind locked doors.Even while locked up, you’re still fucking me over, Domenico.Annoyed, I yanked the covers off, pulled on a shirt, and went downstairs like a shadow. The last thing I wanted was to see anyone other than my wife.The kitchen lights spilled faintly into the hall. There she was, laughing with Ria.A rare sight. Kira didn’t open up to anyone except Linda. Good. She nee

Chapter: Chapter 113Adrian’s POV“I…” she stammered, her eyes darting everywhere but at me.“Kira, you know damn well I don’t like repeating myself. What was chasing you? And don’t even think about lying to me… I can smell the fear all over you.”She exhaled sharply. “It’s not what you think, I—”She exhaled sharply. “Um… no, it’s not what you… You think. I didn’t—”Why the hell was she acting like this? Something wasn’t right. Sure, Kira was often a nervous mess, but this… this was different. Off.“Kira,” I said more softly, dialing down the edge in my voice… something I never did. But she had a way of dragging out a part of me I didn’t even know still existed. Tilting her chin up, I made her meet my eyes. “Tell me what’s wrong.”“It’s nothing, Adrian. I just… got lost in the hallway.” She hesitated, then added, “And… I found a basement. I didn’t even know this place had one. I mean, I know your… line of work, and most mansions do, but this one felt different. Eerie. I heard weird noises down there… Adr

Chapter: Chapter 112KIRA’S POV“Took you long enough,” the voice echoed in my ear, low and cold, sending a crawl of dead shivers down my spine. I froze mid-step.The air suddenly grew thicker around me with each pace forward, the taser in my grip suddenly feeling like a useless piece of plastic.“Romano,” I whispered, my voice barely carrying.He lifted his head, a sly grin cutting across his face, and what stared back at me was a ghost of the man I once knew.His overgrown hair hung in damp strands against his pallid skin. One of his eyes was clamped shut, a fresh jagged scar dragging across it… much like Gio’s, except this one was raw, angry, and fresher. The other eye, bloodshot, locked on me with unsettling focus.He got up slowly, moving toward the edge of the bars, his arms still behind him.His torn shirt was stiff with dried blood. The smell… God, the stench of sweat, iron, road and I think death—hit me like a slap. His body screamed misery. It was obvious he hadn’t showered in a long while.I k

Chapter: CHAPTER 198 EPILOGUE A few months later…Bailey's POV I sighed as I finally laid Arlo to sleep after all the crying. I looked at his peaceful face and couldn't help but notice how much he looked like William.After a lot of horrible suggestions from William and Shayna. We finally agreed to name him Arlo after William's grandfather, it was either that or John Cena. And I was not gonna name my son after William's favorite wrestler or after Shayna's favorite rapper.I quietly left the room in search of William. It had been a very long day and I hadn't seen much of him. Matthew had thrown us a huge party to celebrate the renewal of our marriage vows and I was tired from all the rush and excitement.I opened the door to our room to find him asleep, at least that's what I thought. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and came back to lay beside him. It wasn't even up to 5 minutes when I heard Arlo crying through the baby monitor. I groaned in utter frustration and

Chapter: Chapter 197A few months later…Bailey's POV “Thank you for coming with me,” I said as I adjusted my seatbelt. “You don't need to thank me, according to this book, it's my duty.” He said, pointing to the pregnancy help book on his lap, William has been reading a lot of these pregnancy help books over the weeks and I personally think the author sucks. Just last week, he kept trying to convince me to go for something called a vagina steam, and don't get me started on the time he practically coerced me into making a mayonnaise face mask. How does that help the baby? William pushing a stray strand of hair to my ear brought me out of my thoughts. He shifted it back a little so that it was not too tight on my belly. He was always so cautious and passionate when it came to my belly and he had no idea how happy and secure that made me feel. “Thank you. I'm tired already, I can't wait for him to come out.” I grumbled, touching my belly. He chuckled. “I gotta admit, pregnancy suits you.” He teased me

Chapter: Chapter 196Bailey's POVThe gates of the mansion opened up as I pressed the entry code, as I got to the big doors I saw Agatha “Oh, child.” Agatha said, running to me when she spotted me. Worry was written all over her face. I was surprised to see her seeing as William wasn't sure she would come back after he jailed Gianna. “Agatha.” I smiled at her and entered the living room. She glanced at my stomach and I noticed her eyes got watery. “Oh, Bailey.”“It's been so long aunt, how have you been?” I asked her and she hugged me. I didn't resist. I hugged her back. She must be going through quite a rough time herself, I thought.“Erm.. I'm so sorry about Gianna.” There was a moment of silence and then she spoke.“You don't have to apologize for anything, child. She made her own choices and she has to own up to the outcome, hm?” She said, holding my chin, and smiling. I forced a smile too.“I'm so glad you're back. Should I make you something? You must be so tired.”“Noo, I am not um… I won't be lo

Chapter: Chapter 195Matthew's POV“It all started when I fell sick, some months after William turned 9. I fell into a coma during my sleep and woke up with a stroke.”I recounted and Bailey gasped in shock.“Ohh my God! I am so sorry, that must have been horrible” she replied, tears welling up in her eyes.“It was and there is no need to feel sorry for me. It happened years ago,” I replied and she nodded. I know I was a bit harsh with my words but I absolutely despised it when people felt pitied for me. I continued talking, and Bailey inched closer.“My life was shambles. Vannessa wasn't working then and I was the main provider for my family. It was also the worst timing because prior to that horrible day, I remember making plans for us to take a trip.. I wanted to make an extra effort to bond with them and have a good time, as Vanessa always complained that I spent too much time working and was almost never at home.” I took a deep breath before speaking up again.“It wasn't entirely my fault I was alway

Chapter: Chapter 1943 MONTHS LATER…Bailey's POV“Yes Shayna, I'm just getting home. I'm about to climb the stairs.” I said, balancing the grocery bag in my other hand.“Take the elevator. Why are you using the stairs, are you trying to kill my baby?” she squealed.“Your baby?” I asked.“You know what I mean! But just take the elevator Bails,” “If you must know, I got to the elevator and saw it was under repairs. According to Richard, it broke down in the morning. Besides, using the stairs would mean exercising, it keeps the baby active.”“Okay. How was the appointment? What did the gyne say?”“Nothing negative, Ultrasound is done, baby's fine. He said we'll be able to determine the baby's sex by next week.” I said and she squeaked happily.“Okay cool but don't wait up for me today, I'll be home late. I'm going out with Scott today.” “You guys have been doing a lot of that lately, but you claim it's nothing serious.” I mocked. “Yes, because it's nothing serious.

Just sign the damn papers.” He replied, his eyes still fixed on his phone. He didn't bother to meet my eyes. “But this..this means..”“I know exactly what this means, Bailey. I breached the contract, so I'm gonna pay you. Henry would handle that aspect. Now, please, sign the goddamn papers.” He said, finally putting the stupid phone away. I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones kicking in, but I hate that stupid phone.“I wasn't talking about the money, I-”“Bailey I really don't have time to waste. Sign these.” My leg started growing weak. I sniffed. I had been trying very hard to stop myself from crying but my voice was giving me off. I had to sniff to push the emotions in. “B.. But what about your grandfather's will? Your inheritance? How are you going to get..”I said, my voice breaking. “I don
