ADELINE

I sat under the shower, still with clothes, letting the water soak me. My hairs wet and stuck to my body. The water was cold maybe too cold for my body but the pain in my heart did not let me feel anything.

I stared at my hands and saw how pale they had turned. I slowly blinked and laid my head against the wall before hot water steamed down my cheeks.

I was crying. Why?

Because I could not bear the pain. How could he such a bastard for doing the least thing I expected from him.

“ why, Luciano why?

I whispered painfully before screaming loudly. My heart ached realizing I was not the woman he loved. No matter how much I tried, he would never love me so there was no point.

“ Adeline “

There was a sudden bang on the door. I gasped and looked at the direction of the door but did not bother answering. I did not want to see anyone and explain my state.

I was on numb and too tired.

“ open the door Adeline- “

I recognized the voice and of course

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    In The Bathroom

    . . . ADELINE I sat on the couch holding a glass of lemonade in my hand while slow beat of music took over the whole hall. It was a Beautiful venue where Luciano had arranged his party and no one knew what was it all about. Everyone was busy in their own work and aurora had gone with her mother to meet a few guests. I sat quietly sipping my lemonade when I felt someone’s eyes watching me. The feeling sent goosebumps and I searched through the crowd discreetly to see who was it. My eyes soon fell upon …… him. He was dressed in a black tuxedo with his two buttons undone giving a view of his chiseled chest making my heart to Race. He was standing with a man from his business. His tall and muscular built towered over everyone in the room. His eyes on me suddenly made me clench my thighs. I felt hot despite the air conditioning that had been installed in literally every corner of this huge hall. Something in me liquefied at his stare and I held tightly onto my glass, p

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Need Help Sweetheart?

    . . . LUCIANO I could feel all of that attraction, lust rushing back into me. My veins throbbed wanting to feel her and make her desperate for me. I watched as her juiced dripped down her thighs and her perfect as bent over in front of me, giving a view of that cake. She had finished cumming and her hands scurried for her dress but I held her arm stopping her. “ stop “ My voice gruffer than I Intended to be. Fuck! I needed to stay away from her but something always brung me back to her. She was what I needed and what I craved for. “ I-I.. YOU- “ She stuttered, slowly looking at me through the mirror making me step closer. My hardened bulge coming in contact with her ass and she gasped. “ what were you doing? “ I asked as her body seemed to touch under my gaze. I loved the effect I had on her. “ its not that- “ “ Are you sure about that, sweetheart? “ I lowered my gaze and looked at her bare waist and that ass pressed against me. I groped her ass

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Love Him Like No One

    . . . ADELINE “ you should have told us beforehand about your decision, Luciano “ Leonardo spoke as everyone gave them attention. We were sitting on the table having lunch being served to us. I clenched my fists on my lap as aurora gave me a stern look before looking away. “ I wanted it to be a surprise “ Alessandra smiled and looked at her son. “ Luciano. I am so happy. Finally you have decided to be happy “ Hearing those words, I really struggled to hold back. I slowly raised my gaze and suddenly my eyes met ……… Christian’s. He looked at me and I looked down avoiding his gaze after last night. I was embarrassed. He knew the deeds I did with Luciano but he still stayed a brother to me. He gave a stern look and his eyes showed affection to which I decided to stay calm. “ how do you know Elena ? “ Angelina asked to which my ears perked up. I wanted to know it too to make it clear that he was indeed in love with someone else. “ oh I know, they share a ve

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    End Of Us

    . . . LUCIANO I clenched my fists in anger. So mad. The dim light in the room cast shadows on the walls as I paced like a caged animal, my breaths ragged and heavy. My nostrils flared, and my jaw clenched tightly, a storm of emotions twisting my features into a mask of fury and despair. I roared, slamming my fist against the cold, unyielding wall. The dull thud echoed, followed by the sharp sting in my knuckles. Blood began to trickle down, staining my hand, but I didn’t seem to notice—or care. My mind was just thinking about Adeline who was fighting for her life. The thought of her body going limp in my arms made me shake. “Why did she do it?” I shouted, my voice hoarse, shaking with both anger and anguish. Christian stood a few steps away, his face pale but calm, his eyes clouded with concern. He reached out a hand to steady me but I jerked away, my body trembling with unchecked rage. “Luciano, stop this!” Christian urged, his voice low but firm.

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    The Pain Of Losing

    . . . ADELINE I looked at myself in the mirror after a few days of what had happened to me. My hairs were tied up in a messy braid. I was dressed in a plain white shirt and grey sweatpants. My eyes fell on the white bandage wrapped around my wrist and my gaze got stuck. I was never suicidal but ‘ HE ‘ made me take that step. He did not care about me at all and It all showed when he did not even come to check on me. Was I that desperate to marry a man who was committed to someone else ? My heart ached thinking he was not mine. But why was I even sad? He was never mine? Never from the beginning. I looked at myself empty hands. No matter how much You try, if its not yours, it’s not. I looked away and a faint knock on the door took my attention. “ Adeline “ I looked at the person and saw …… Isabella. She smiled at me and stepped inside cautiously. “ you okay, dear? “ Her motherly tone sent a warm feeling inside my body making me smile. I nodded my head and she

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Dinner Meeting

    . . . ADELINE I stepped out of my bedroom all dolled up to meet a guy who was invited for the dinner at the house. I was dressed up in a short floral white dress that reached above my thighs. My hairs were messily braided going with my look and a little bit of make up helped me hide my dark circles and tiredness. I blinked tiredly and my face showed my weariness but I could not help. I was tired and just wanted to sleep but everyone had gathered in the backyard. The guy whom I was meeting was someone they all knew. He was involved in the same work my family did so it was nothing to think about much. I took a deep breath and started walking towards the grand stairs of the mansion to walk down when I heard ……… his voice. I turned my head back to see him walking out of his room and his phone near his ear, talking on the phone. I quickly snapped my head forward and started climbing the stairs fast. Run, Adeline. I did not want to interact him in any way. I quic

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Moving On

    . . . ADELINE I was so lost in my thoughts, trying to make my decision. A decision that would change my life entirely for the rest of my life. I walked downstairs, my heart pounding. Each step I took felt heavier than the last as if my body was already aware of the devastation awaiting me. I decided to see Luciano, one last time just so I could make sure my decision was right. I nervously fidgeted my fingers and tried to get rid of the dread, holding on and hoping that maybe, just maybe, Luciano would say me to not get married to Valentino. But as soon as I entered the living room, I saw something that shattered my whole world beyond repair. Luciano …… locked in a passionate kiss with …… Elena. I froze, my mind refusing to accept what My eyes were witnessing. My heart clenched and a tear slipped my eye. Luciano pulled back, his face immediately draining the color when he saw me standing. I quickly looked away and stared at the floor. I should have known but

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    One Last Time

    . . . ADELINE “ you got this, Adeline “ I murmured to myself standing in front of the huge mirror of one of the most expensive suites of the Martino Club. Martino club was one of the top clubs in the city where dirty deeds were done whether it included from sexual deeds to illegal activities. Everything happened in here but also everything remained behind the curtains. Martino club was where nothing was revealed. Your dirty little secrets were safe and why was I here? Me and aurora wanted to have one last blast to enjoy our life before I was finally married. I had given up the hope to stay pure just for Luciano but now that I was going to make my own decisions, enjoying my life before getting married was one of them. I wanted to lose my virginity. I was dressed up in a beautiful red lingerie and something made me feel instantly bold. Even it took me a few seconds to recognize myself. There was something in me that made me feel confident and I instantly fell in

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Happy Mornings

    . . . 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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Happy Ending

    . . . 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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Returning Happiness

    . . . 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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Promise

    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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Blooming Once Again

    . . . 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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Pregnant?

    . . . 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

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Healing

    . . . AUTHOR’S POV The once chaotic mansion had settled into an eerie stillness. A week had passed since that fateful night—the night fire had swallowed their enemies whole. The night that had left them all scarred in ways they had yet to understand. Adeline had barely left her room. She laid curled up in bed, her body wrapped in the warmth of the blankets, but it wasn’t just the blankets that held her. Vladimir refused to let go. The sixteen-year-old clung to her like a lifeline, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist, his head resting against her shoulder as he slept. For the first time in what felt like forever, they had been able to sleep peacefully. No nightmares. No fear. No waking up to the sound of gunfire or the cries of the dying. But peace didn’t mean healing. The wounds were still there—fresh, raw, and bleeding beneath the surface. Luciano had kept his distance from them, knowing they needed time to breathe. He had taken control

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Fire And Blood

    . . . AUTHOR’S POV The night was thick with the scent of blood and burning hatred. Leonardo laid merely breathing on the ground, broken beyond repair. His body twitched, spasming in pain, his breath ragged and uneven. Blood pooled beneath him, staining the dirt, soaking into his clothes. But even as his strength faded, his pride remained. Even now, he smirked through the agony. A twisted, delusional smile—one that dared them to do worse. Charles started laughing. A slow, mocking chuckle that sent a chill through the gathered crowd. The men of Luciano’s mafia stood with their heads hung low, not daring to interfere. The women—Alessandra, Angelina, Isabella, Aurora, Kiara, Rose—all watched in silence, their faces a mixture of horror and disbelief. This was not just a punishment. This was an execution. Luciano stood still, his dark eyes empty, watching his brother bleed out like it meant nothing. Adeline felt Eva tremble beside her, her grip tightening

  • BETWEEN US : BOUND TO HIM    Night Of Open Secrets

    . . . AUTHOR’S POV The scent of blood, sweat, and expensive whiskey lingered, mixing with the heavy bass of the music that still vibrated faintly in the background. The moment had stretched so thin it felt like time itself had paused. Elena’s lifeless body laid on the floor, her once-beautiful face frozen in shock, blood seeping from the bullet wound on her forehead, staining the cold marble beneath her. But no one in the room seemed to mourn her. Charles had his gun raised, his hand steady, his face void of emotion. Leonardo stood unfazed, his lips curling into an amused smirk, his sharp eyes flicking between Charles and Luciano. Adeline stood rooted in place, her heart pounding painfully against her ribs. She had expected bloodshed tonight, but not like this—not this soon, this mercilessly. And then came the revelation. Leonardo’s voice, mocking and unbothered. “Will you kill your own brother for someone else?” A cold shiver raced down Adeline’s spi
