Beginning of the end 19
Am I dreaming?I woke up late in the morning and Adriano bought breakfast for me in the bed."I made it myself." Said he. I don't believe his words at first but he said he really knows how to cook, he learned to impress me.I blushed.I would have considered all this as a bare minimum, basic life skill that every person irrespective of their gender should know, if I would have married to a normal man. But here we are talking about this man.Here we are talking about Adriano.I told him I couldn't eat before he eats but he assured me that he had already eaten."Your brother and his family are free to go after he is punished." I stopped eating.Now I know I am back to reality. Last night felt like a dream. Where Adriano acted as a mature one out of us two and accepted and acknowledged his fault.I feel sorry too. For hiding things from him when he clearly told me not to."Adriano you promised you will not hurt him." "I promised that I will let him live. And after I am done punishing hi

*CONTENT WARNING*Homophobia. Please keep in mind it's fiction. *********I excused myself from the conversation that was going on between us four as I was thirsty. I went out to get water but then I heard something.I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard a loud slap sound from the adjacent room and rushed to see what is happening.Peeking through the window I found Anna laying on the floor and Mrs. Romano full of rage.She has definitely hit Anna. I could see the fingerprints on Anna's cheek."Why the hell are you bent on bringing shame to this family?" Mrs. Romano looked furious. "Your brothers work their ass off, day and night and you haven't thought about them for once." Mrs. Romano yelled at Anna and she did not say a word in return. She just kept her face covered with her hands.I know she must be crying, hard."I lied to both my sons regarding you. I sent you away so that you learn something better and stay out of trouble. Your aunt i

I didn't go after Anna. I let her weep in silence in her room. I left her alone.I did not tell Adriano either.Instead I went back to Sofia's room."Emilia, you missed out the fun part, about how Aria got her new diamond necklace." Sofia said. I gave a fake smile to pretend that I am intrested in their conversation.I sat with them.Suddenly my eyes fell on Bella's hand. It was wrapped with crepe bandage."Bella, what happened to your hand?" I questioned her.Aria and Sofia looked her hand and Bella instantly tried to hide her hand behind her."No..No it's nothing." Why is she trying to hide it?"What's that? Tell us. What happened to your hand?" Aria also insisted.Bella finally gave up and showed her hand, she was trying to hide. Her hand was swollen and wrapped with a crepe bandage."I fell down, from the stairs." Her face is showing that she is lying."Are you lying?" We all are suspicious about the explanation she gave so we didn't believe her."E.....Elias. He....He punished me

I hate Bella for her behaviour. She told Elias everything I said.Everything that we talked about, word to word, because she said -'I don't hide anything from my husband, it lands me in trouble. My husband asked what we talked about so I had to tell him. You see I can't lie.'But right now I am the one who is in trouble.Elias, told everyone. Dominic, Enzo, even Uncle Cosimo and......Adriano.I was escorted to Adriano's office where everyone was already present. Now are they going to punish me for putting forward my thoughts. I am mad at this but I am scared too."Is Bella telling the truth? Did you say that the ladies of this family should go against their husbands." Adriano had a poker face. He didn't seemed angry."Not in that sense......I was just-" Adriano shook his head and it was enough for me to keep my mouth shut.So I simply nodded.There is no point in arguing."We already warned you about this girl Adriano." Before Adriano could say anything further Uncle Cosimo interrupte

Things went smoothly for a few weeks.To my surprise Adriano took Anna's secret very lightly. He did not get angry or did anything to hurt anybody.Adriano had a meeting with his men in his office. For past few days he is working way too much.He seemed to be taking a lot of stress over his work. He didn't have his breakfast either.After about three hours of discussing the business, all the men left.I was getting bored so I went to Sofia's room.She was not there, so I went searching for her.I searched for her in the garden, but she wasn't there either.So I went looking for her in the vacant rooms of the mansion.I found her.But she was not alone. Enzo's driver, Liam was also with her.What is this man doing here, alone with her in an empty room?As soon as they both saw me, color drained out of their faces. What is going on-My world flipped upside down when my eyes traveled down.What I saw sent shivers down my spine.Sofia was holding a knife, not just a normal knife, but a kn

I panicked and called Adriano and told him everything.I don't want to be called a bitch but I went to my room and thought about it, whatever I did was a logical decision because-A) If Dario tried to cover Sofia's mouth how did she scream?B) How did Liam entered the mansion as no staff member, except for the maids are allowed inside the mansion?C) Is this situation worth taking risk and going against my husband?Adriano arrived and so did the ambulance. The doctors informed that Dario is still alive but he has lost so much of blood that for the next 24 hours it is uncertain to say, whether he will live or not.Adriano was red with anger."Do your best Doctor. Dario is a tough man. He will live." Adriano told the doctor.The environment was so tense.Adriano's guards caught Sofia and Liam and presented them before Adriano.Adriano was furious already. I could see him shaking with anger but still trying his best not to show it."I swear Adriano. Dario tried to rape me. He......He for

I find Adriano soothing and calm and his gentle aura is so attractive. Unlike other men he doesn’t yell or slam things when he's upset and that's what I like the most about him.He does get angry and he is strict in a manner but he isn't outrageous.But sometimes it irritates me that because of his calm nature I am unable to read what's on his mind.Yesterday Enzo sent Sofia at Dario's place and I was so mad at Adriano that he let that all happen in his presence and he didn't even say a word to stop his brother.He sent some of his men to find and catch Liam.Adriano was so mad at his men on how careless they were regarding Liam.We came back to room and I refused to sleep with Adriano.
