"Please let me go… please…" I hear myself saying, and at this point, I am not even sure who I am begging anymore. The guards still hold my arms as they drag me down the hallway, my feet barely keeping up, my heart racing so fast I can hear it in my ears. I hate how weak my voice sounds, but I can't stop myself. I am desperate, and I don't even try to hide it...

"Be gentle with her please." Luciano says calmly from ahead of us, and that alone confuses me. He doesn't even look back im

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 14 - I can imagine this is a lot for you.

    V E L I N AWe finally arrive at his mansion, and I know I should be focused on the fact that I was just taken from my home and forced into a marriage I never agreed to, yet the moment the car slows and the gates open, my attention shifts to what awaits me outside the car. I find myself staring out the window, taking in everything as we drive in. I notice how different this place feels already, how much more peaceful and quiet it is compared to the Merrano estate, which sounds like a contradiction, especially when all my life I've known the Diomanis to be nothing but evil... The estate is wide and much bigger, far more luxurious than anything I am used to, and I'm still yet to convince myself that this all belongs to the man I have just married..."Welcome to your new home..." he says, and as my attention returns to him, I feel my stomach twist, his words registering in my mind. My home... The words don't sit right with me. Not now, maybe not ever. They're supposed to be comforting,

    V E L I N A"Please let me go… please…" I hear myself saying, and at this point, I am not even sure who I am begging anymore. The guards still hold my arms as they drag me down the hallway, my feet barely keeping up, my heart racing so fast I can hear it in my ears. I hate how weak my voice sounds, but I can't stop myself. I am desperate, and I don't even try to hide it..."Be gentle with her please." Luciano says calmly from ahead of us, and that alone confuses me. He doesn't even look back immediately. He just says it, like he is reminding them to handle fragile cargo. He is the one forcing me to leave, yet he is also asking them to be gentle. The contradiction makes my head spin."Luciano..." I call out, my voice shaking as they continue dragging me forward.He finally glances back at me, and I wish he would not. The moment his eyes land on me, I feel that same pull again, and I hate it. I hate that even now, even while I am fighting against him, my body still reacts to him..."Ple

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 12 - It's been a pleasure doing business with me.

    V E L I N A I think this is the exact moment I realise that none of this is temporary. Up until now, I kept telling myself that maybe there would be a pause, maybe there would be negotiations, maybe someone would step in and delay all of this, but the silence in the room tells me that no one plans to stop anything. My father stands across from Luciano, watching him carefully, and I can tell he understands what Luciano is doing. Luciano is pushing him, testing him, seeing how far he can go, and my father knows it. The problem is, he also knows he cannot react."You're right," my father finally answers, and I hear the strain in his voice even though he tries to sound calm, even though he tries to sound composed. He is holding himself together in front of everyone, trying to make this feel civil, trying to pretend that this entire arrangement is mutual and respectful, when in reality it feels like he is handing me over and hoping no one notices...I keep watching him, trying to figure o

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 11 - Mr and Mrs Diomani.

    V E L I N AOnce Luciano pulls away from me, he smiles, and I remain standing there staring back at him, my thoughts still stuck in the moment, my lips still warm from his kiss, and my breathing slightly laboured as I try to collect myself. I know I should step back, I know I should create distance between us, yet my body refuses to cooperate, and it seems I'm able to regain control of my reactions. My heart continues beating faster than usual, and I avoid looking directly at him again, worried he might notice the effect he has on me... But it may already be too late for that, and he is definitely using that to his advantage...I barely register movement in front of me until the officiant steps closer, holding a document and a pen toward me, clearing his throat gently as he speaks."Please sign here." The man then says, his voice pulling me back to reality, and I lower my gaze slowly toward the paper in his hand, my mind still trying to catch up with everything happening around me. It

  • Becoming my Enemy's Bride   Chapter 10 - We are gathered here today.

    V E L I N A"Yes, of course," my father eventually answers, his voice tense as though he tries to sound composed as he nods toward Luciano, his hands resting on the table in front of him as he rises to his feet while the rest of the room remains quiet, everyone watching the exchange unfold."Wonderful," Luciano replies calmly, still holding my hand, his thumb brushing lightly across my knuckles as though we are standing here under entirely different circumstances, and I try not to react to the warmth of his touch even though my pulse begins to race again."First things first. My money, and documents of course..." he continues, glancing toward my father."Everything is there, please have a look through them," my father answers, gesturing toward the briefcase and folders arranged neatly on the table.Luciano then turns to a man I don't remember seeing earlier, dressed in a dark suit with a pair of glasses on, his expression neutral as he stands a few feet away from us. Luciano gives him

    V E L I N AI stand completely still as the hot water runs from the top of my head down to the rest of my naked body, my hands braced against the wall as I keep my eyes closed, trying to slow my breathing and quiet my thoughts, though neither seems willing to cooperate. My mind keeps replaying everything that happened downstairs, the handshake, my father's voice agreeing to the deal, Luciano watching me, my mother's slap, and every time I try to push it aside, another memory replaces it, leaving me feeling drained before this marriage even begins.Eventually, I reach forward and turn the water off, the room growing silent as lone droplets of water fall from my body to the shower floor below. I remain standing there, letting the last drops slide down my skin while I try to gather myself before stepping out.I dry myself slowly, my movements stiff and distracted, and once I am dressed in the robe left out for me, I step back into my bedroom.And the moment I walk in, I freeze...There a
