"Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.".....I revised this sentence a million times in my mind until I started feeling dizzy as I meekly entered the dimly lit room. The scene in front of me turned me pale.How can I forget to knock at the door before entering??Yeah, maybe cause I am a bit jittery and nervous as hell.A manly figure tied from his legs, hanging upside down, covered in his own blood greeted my eyes. All I could hear was his weak whimpers that came out from his busted lips, while getting beaten with a rod, by a 6 feet tall muscular man, who was Adriano's personal bodyguard.As my eyes travelled across the room they landed on the man I came seeking here. In one corner stood the devil himself.Adriano Romano.As
7 years ago(Glimpse of the past)"I want to go to the...," Before I could finish my sentence I got the answer."No." A firm no, that is what I got as an answer from Adriano.He didn't not even let me finish my complete sentence and I already know his answer now."But I.... Please." I tried again to tell him what exactly is my demand."I don't like repeating myself." Adriano looked straight into my eyes and repeated "No."There was no sense in standing there and begging him to let me go on the camping trip with my friends.There is no way this man is going to melt.I rushed out of the room and went straight into mine. I want to be alone.But I can't even get a minute of peace in this house. Someone knocked at my door. I felt relieved when it was my mother."Mom, everyone is going. I also want to go." I tried to insist my mother to let me go on the camping trip that my friends have planned.But now I get it, there is no possible way I will be able to convience her."Are you not in a pr
There was no one in the kitchen except for me and my Mother but still I had to murmur to her. Can't risk anyone hearing our conversation, otherwise both of us will land in a big trouble."But Mom, how can I marry someone I am afraid of? How will I ever be able to love him?" By the look mother is giving me, I can tell she already feels irritated by my questions.'Never question about anything. It's not a woman's job.' My mother reminds me all the time."Emilia, stop this right now." She raised her voice at me. "You will have to marry Adriano one way or another." She doesn't love me at all, it's clear."We are afraid of the God too Emilia, but at the same time we love him too, right."My mother cannot be serious at the moment."Mom, how can you even compare Adriano to the God?" My eyes swell up with tears. I honestly cannot argue without crying."He is like a God for us, you stupid girl. He helped our family when we went through the worst times. He is the reason your brother is out of t
Death is far better than living with two elder siblings. The siblings who are ready all the time to push you in problems to save their asses.An elder sister that hates you and is so jealous because you are going to marry the man of her dreams. And an elder brother who is using you just to strengthen his position among the mafia.Only sensible person in this house is my brother's wife Gianna, and her 2 years old daughter Aida."Hello Emilia, the most important human in this family." Someone taunted me and I need not to lift my head up in order to know who it is.Of course, it's Lily, my elder sister.Just ignore her, she isn't worth the time and efforts, I reminded myself."Heard that Adriano is coming for lunch today." She came closer and leaned onto the kitchen counter where I was preparing the lunch.Ignore her, my mind kept repeating."Aww look at you, are you just going to ignore me? Come on now, soon you will get married and start the best of your life, fuck a hot husband and if
My brother and Adriano sat at the dinner table while me, mother, Lily and Giana (my sister-in-law) served them food."Adriano" I hear a faint voice that came out of my sister's mouth."May I speak?" Adriano didn't even lift his head from his plate, instead he simply nodded. He usually prefer silence on the dinner table.What does she want now?"Emilia told me today that she doesn't want to get married, she said she is going to run far away from here soon." Hearing her words my eyes popped out of the socket due to the shock.Adriano's hand, that held the spoon filled with food, stopped in the mid air, leaving his mouth half open.Whatever my ears heard left me unsettled. Has she gone crazy? Does she really want me dead so bad?Don't cry. Don't cry. I bit back my cheek as I tried to stop myself from shivering under Adriano's presence.I looked at my sister and saw that wicked smirk lurking on her face again, the one she gave me in the kitchen. So this was all that she was planning to do
13 year old Emilia was different, a good different. She was chirpy, bubbly, talkative and adventurous.Once I heard my father saying to my mother, "Both Emilia and Lily are big girls now. Old enough for marriage. If they are to find a husband and become perfect housewives, their wings need to be clipped before they learn how to fly."And mom.......well, she agreed with him.That's how my mother was, followed every order that my father gave. she is still the same, following every order that a man gives her, without any questions.I can't say that my father's absence and untimely death was acceptable because after he was gone, my whole family was completely at the mercy of Adriano.After hearing what my father told my mother I got really upset, my cheeks turned red due to humiliation. I ran into my room and hugged the pillow and started crying.That's when my uncle Alfonso came bragging in my room.Men here never knock at the door.Uncle Alfonso didn't live with us, he used to visit my
Adriano didn't even spare me a single glance while we were in the car, he seemed busy on this phone.The gate opened and I stepped out of the car as we reached the mansion.He went straight to his room and I followed him.This is the time. God save me please, I gulped.Adriano's room was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.It was lavish.A huge king-sized bed, neat blanket and pillows, black and white walls, a huge bookshelf, there was a mirror wall and a door that might lead to bathroom.Adriano went straight to the bathroom and I stood still near the doorframe. He hasn't told me to get in, yet.Five mins later he came out with his shirt sleeves rolled up and wiping his hands and face with towel."Come in" He looked at me standing on the door frame and I went inside."Take rest." He said and started moving out.Is he not going to do what we are supposed to do on our wedding day?Where is he going?Does he have work on his wedding day too?"Where are you going?" The question sl
*Mature content ahead*I have never seen a naked man before.I have never been naked in front of any man.My breath hitched."Relax." Adriano held my hands in his and told me. My hands seem way too small when compared to his."Take a deep breath." He encouraged me. "Are you really ready for this?" He questioned.I nodded.Why does he keep asking me this again and again?"Words, Emilia. Words. I want your words." He told me."Yes....yes I am ready." One thing is on seeing his naked figure I could feel something strange happening to my body.I am kinda getting excited. I could feel my heart racing, not in an anxious manner anymore, but rather in a curious manner.The second thing is I really feel like exploring the sensations I am feeling to the fullest. And this can only happen with this man as he is my husband now.Third, I want to get over with it.Seeing Adriano's smooth skin from head to toe affected me in a brand new manner.I nodded as he locked the door, put his phone on 'do not
