. .ADELINE
Luciano’s words roamed in my mind. He had my mind occupied and I couldn’t seem to focus on any other thing. Currently, I was sitting in the backseat of his car, next to him on our way back home.
I let out a soft sigh and looked at my hands in my lap and from the corner of my eyes, I watched him. His hand resting on his thigh and my cheeks flushed thinking of where those fingers were last night.
I closed my eyes and squeezed my thighs still feeling the tingles in between my thighs and it made me imagine all the dirty things he’d do to me with just those fingers.
Soon, the car ride came to a stop and soon my side of the door was opened. I stepped out and my eyes fell on the person walking towards us.
Christian Russo, Luciano’s best friend and his manager, a man who stays with him 24/7. He looked at me as I blinked nervously before stepping aside.
I was not a social person and was not good with people of opposite gender. I always felt so intimidated and shy whenever I was around men but my feelings for Luciano was something else, something I was also not deeply aware of but I knew one thing for sure, I loved him.
I turned back to look at Luciano only to jump as he stood right behind me as if waiting for me to walk.
I looked up at him and stepped aside before quickly walking inside. I could hear the faint murmurs coming from living room which indicated everyone was present in there.
My heart started pounding as suddenly, I felt scared. I knew everyone was gonna be mad but there was one person I specifically did not want to see.
As soon as I stepped in the view, the noises died down as everyone turned their attention towards me and before I could even proceed.
“ Adeline!why did you disappear-? “
I gasped as I noticed my mother rushing towards me. I stepped back and bumped into …… Luciano. I quickly turned, holding his arm and hiding behind him.
My mother stopped midway. No one behaved out of place in front of Luciano and that’s what kept everyone in place. His fear.
“ Adeline. Sweetie why did you run away ? “
I looked at Isabella nervously. She was Luciano’s sister who was two years younger than him and was just a peaceful person In my life just like a friend.
“ I-i wanted to be alone- “
I let go of Luciano’s arm and backed away.
“ i-ill be in my room “
Without saying or listening anything, I rushed towards the stairs and upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone.
.
.AT NIGHT
“ come on Adeline. Let’s play. Don’t be such a pussy “
The word made me clench my thighs together as I looked at my friends who were my family.
Rose, one of my childhood friend and Luciano’s niece spoke making me look at her in disbelief.
“ seriously Rose. You know very well that i don’t like this games- “
“ why do you have any secrets ? “
She cut me off and raised her eyebrows, teasing me but on the name of secrets, my heart stopped. My heart pounding in my chest like a drum. My cheeks started turning red as aurora looked at me wide eyed.
“ Adeline, your cheeks are getting red. Does that mean- “
“ I will play! “
I raised my voice, declaring that I was in for the game making them giggle.
We sat down on the floor of my room, in a circle. Rose placed an empty bottle in the Centre and placed a bottle of vodka nearby. It was always the game “ TRUTH AND DARE “.
We four would always play this game Whenever anyone of us would be feeling so down. A sigh escaped my lips as Kiara started the game by rotating the bottle. Our eyes fixed as the bottle rolled before stopping on …… Rose.
Her eyes widened as she rolled her eyes.
“ come on ask “
She played it cool as aurora smirked before rubbing her palms together. Clearly looking so evil.
“ do you use handcuffs on my brother ? “
The question made my eyes to widen as my head shot up to look at aurora. Yes. That’s exactly why I hate these games. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t want to tell anyone whatever i do behind my room’s door.
I am too shy and timid when it comes to this.
“ I do “
Rose answered, her face turning red slightly as Kiara made a disgusting face.
“ eww “
“ don’t eww me as if you don’t suck my brother’s cock “
Rose snapped back sassily. Yes, they were both engaged to each other’s brothers. It was in family and they were happy and that what matters the most.
“ okay come on “
Aurora grabbed the bottle and spun it as we waited for it to land on …… me. My eyes widened as I looked at their faces and noticed the devilish look displaying making me gulp hard.
“ so babygirl, truth or dare “
I blinked and thought for a second. If i said dare, they’d ask me to do something which was not a thing for me and if i said truth, they’d ask me what I don’t want them to know.
“ dare “
As soon as I said that, Aurora smirked. Kiara looked at me with wide eyes and Rose smiled mischievously. I was indeed trapped in their trap.
“ so now that our miss shy has chosen the dare. We should make it a lil bit spicy.”
I tried to warn them to not give me anything absurd when suddenly Aurora said something which made me …… widen my eyes.
“ you have to get a hickey on your lower hip “
“ are you crazy- “
I shook my head clearly not in the mood for something like this and I tried to leave but Kiara held me down smiling at me.
“ come on babe. It’s just a hickey. We did not ask you to get an orgasm- “
My cheeks turned the darkest shade of red remembering how I had my first ever orgasm and that too by my friend’s blood uncle.
“ we’ll give you four days to complete the challenge and if you fail, we will decide the punishment later “
.
.After they had left, I was staring at the bottle of vodka in my room on the floor. It was half empty. My mind was once again crashed by the words of Luciano Morelli that “ forget about last night. Nothing happened “
Nothing happened? He showed me the true side of pleasure and left me wanting more. He was the first man to touch me and the only man to touch me … again.
Without thinking, I reached over and grabbed the bottle, opening it before chugging it down my throat. The burning sensation making me close my eyes but I did not stop.
I let it burn my insides as I dropped the empty bottle. I stood up and stumbled as I gasped feeling so hot.
I groaned in dismay and took off my hoodie, left in my bra and was struggling with my pjs when All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door making me frown. I managed to stumble and leaned on the door asking who was it, hoping it’d be one of the girls.
“ w-who “
“ Open “
I recognized the manly voice. My eyes widened as I opened the door forgetting in the state I was. My breath hitched as I was in front of the tall man and blinked to get a clear view of my ……
“ daddy “
. . . AUTHORS’S POV The first light of dawn crept through the gauzy curtains of their bedroom, painting the walls in soft hues of gold and rose. The air was cool, a gentle spring breeze slipping through the cracked window, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine from the garden below. The world outside was just waking, but inside, time seemed to pause, wrapped in the quiet intimacy of Luciano and Adeline’s shared sanctuary. Adeline stirred beneath the tangled sheets, her dark hair spilling across the pillow like ink on parchment. Her skin glowed faintly in the morning light, still warm from sleep, and she stretched lazily, a soft hum escaping her lips. She blinked her eyes open, catching sight of Luciano beside her—propped up on one elbow, his gaze already fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart flutter. His dark hair was tousled, his bare chest rising and falling steadily, and a slow, mischievous smile played on his lips. “Morning, beautiful
. . . AUTHORS’S POV The grand cathedral was awash with golden light streaming through the stained-glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the polished stone floors. Rows of pews were filled with family and friends, their faces beaming with anticipation and joy. The air was thick with the scent of fresh lilies and roses, arranged in lavish bouquets that lined the aisle. At the heart of it all stood Adeline, a vision of breathtaking beauty, though her heart raced with a nervous flutter she couldn’t quite tame. Her wedding gown was a masterpiece—ivory silk cascading over her frame in delicate layers, the bodice adorned with intricate lace that shimmered faintly in the light. A long, gossamer veil trailed behind her, catching the soft breeze that slipped through the open doors. Her dark hair was swept up elegantly, adorned with tiny pearls that glinted like stars. She was stunning, radiant, yet her hands trembled slightly as s
. . . AUTHOR’S POV “Oh my God, Adeline, I knew there was something going on between you two!” Eva nodded vigorously, her hands clasped together. “We all knew, honestly. The tension between you guys was so obvious!” Rose smirked as she leaned in. “And now look at you, pregnant with uncle Luciano’s child! This is huge.” Adeline, still overwhelmed, wiped at her tear-streaked face and tried to catch her breath. “You guys… this isn’t—” “It is happening,” Kiara interrupted with a knowing smile. “And you need to start accepting it.” Alessandra, watching the girls fuss over Adeline, smiled warmly before stepping forward. “Adeline, are you happy?” Her voice was gentle, yet firm. “Because that’s what matters most.” Adeline looked up, her teary eyes meeting Alessandra’s. She hesitated, emotions swirling inside her like a storm. Was she happy? Everything had happened so fast—too fast. She had barely even processed it. But when she thought about it
The dining room had been filled with laughter and warmth just moments ago. Everyone was finally at peace, enjoying a rare moment of normalcy after the chaos that had ruled their lives for so long. But now, all of that had disappeared. Adeline gripped the edges of the sink, her breath coming in short, uneven gasps. Her stomach churned violently, and she barely managed to keep herself upright as another wave of nausea rolled over her. Her hands trembled as she wiped the corner of her mouth, her mind racing at an uncontrollable speed. Pregnant? The thought hit her like a bullet, making her knees weaken beneath her. It couldn’t be. Could it? The signs were all there—the constant fatigue, the sudden cravings, the unusual weight gain, the nausea. She had brushed them off, thinking it was stress or just her body adjusting after everything that had happened. But now… A warm, firm hand landed on her back. “Adeline,” Luciano’s voice was steady, but there was an u
. . . AUTHOR’S POV The evening air was crisp, wrapping around Adeline like an unwelcome reminder of the past. As she stepped out of the sleek black car, her heels clicking softly against the stone pavement, a sickening wave of nausea hit her like a tidal wave. The moment her feet touched the ground, her chest tightened. This place—this very ground—was where Leonardo had screamed his last breath, where Bianca’s body had burned. The memory of that night clawed at her mind, vivid and unforgiving. The scent of smoke and blood seemed to linger in the air, as if the earth itself had absorbed the sins of that night. Her throat constricted, and her stomach twisted violently. Eva, stepping out beside her, immediately noticed. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice filled with concern. Adeline swallowed, forcing herself to nod. “Yeah. Just… memories.” Eva didn’t press but gently squeezed her hand. Ahead of them, Charles had already made his way inside, his pres
. . . AUTHOR’S POV The warm glow of the vanity lights cast a soft radiance over the room as Adeline applied the final touches of her makeup. She ran her hands down the smooth fabric of her short, form-fitting dress, appreciating how it accentuated her curves in just the right way. The deep color contrasted beautifully with her skin, making her look effortlessly elegant yet subtly seductive. Eva, standing by the mirror adjusting her earrings, turned to look at Adeline and let out an approving hum. “Damn, Adeline, you look stunning.” A small chuckle escaped Adeline’s lips as she twirled slightly, checking her reflection. “You think so?” Eva grinned. “Oh, I know so. If you weren’t my best friend, I’d probably be jealous.” Adeline smirked. “That’s what I like to hear.” Eva walked closer, giving her an exaggerated once-over. “Seriously, though. You’re glowing tonight. Did something happen?” Adeline scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Oh, please. I think i
