Beginning of the end 27
Before leaving I saw Mrs. Romano. She was questioning me with her stare, that where am I going, but then she saw Adriano is with me and she turned around and walked away.Of course can't dare to question him. But can say whatever comes to her mouth to me.Mrs. Romano looked so weak. Yes, she has lost her daughter and it might be hard for her. When Anna was alive she used to hit her and treat her bad but now look at Mrs. Romano, she must be repenting.I noticed while walking she was limping. She must have been hurt or something because of which she isn't able to walk properly.Now that I am part of the family it's my duty to ask for her health.I asked Adriano what happened to her and he told that she slipped down the stairs and Enzo saw and rushed her to hospital. Her ankle got sprained.Adriano was silent the whole time in the car, he didn't say a word. He actually looked sad. The loss of a family member is one of the biggest loss, what so ever.After we reached our hotel suite he

So I was right. Aurora is Adriano's ex.She is not only rude but so much self-obsessed.As soon as she entered, she kept looking at herself in the mirror."I sometimes think he is blind." She said looking at me."Excuse me." I don't get what is she trying to say."Adriano. I think, Adriano is blind. I mean look at myself. I look so good and then there's you." Disgust was all over her face. "There isn't any comparison between us. Comparing yourself to me seems like an insult."Of all the women I have ever met she sounded the craziest.Who says they look very good for themselves? Is she mad or what? Or she is so self obsessed that the whole world revolves around her.Loving yourself is fine but being self obsessed is not."It was all fine, when you were not in his life. We were happy, sex was the best, life was good, money was immense and then one wretched day you entered into our lives and ruined it. For me as well as for him." Aurora shouted at me. I don't even know how to respond to

Before Liam could let me know about something, he laid dead in front of me.I heard a gunshot and saw blood running down Liam's forehead as he took his last breath.Adriano entered the room with his men and without even giving any warning and shot Liam right on the spot.I tried to scream but the scream got stuck in my throat. My eyes widened with shock.I turned my head to the lifeless body laying on the floor and looked at Adriano. The look he is giving me terrifies me, I have never seen him so angry.He stood there silently, giving me a cold stare, while his men took care of the dead body.I couldn't move, out of shock as well as from under his cold gaze.If looks could kill, I would have been dead by now.As his men left Adriano locked the door from inside.He will kill me.Here comes the scolding.But it didn't come.He turned towards me and hugged me for the first time. He hugged me really tight."You are one hell of a crazy woman." He looked so mad but so concerned at the same

I picked up Adriano's phone while he was in the shower, to call Gianna. I am missing her.His phone was locked, as expected.I tried several passwords, like my name, our wedding date but nothing worked.Maybe I should just wait for him to come out of the shower then unlock the phone.Before I could put down his phone a notification popped on his phone screen.Dante:Me and my men are trying our best to find her. I will let you know as soon as I find her. She will be dead then.Who is Dante?Who is her?I heard Adriano turning off the shower, which means he will be out anytime now.Should I ask him about this 'her'.But I don't want him to know that I tried to unlock his phone and read the notification.But are they talking about killing a 'her'. Does Adriano kill women too. Has he ever killed any woman before?My mind started wondering about what I read in the notification.Maybe I should not be getting myself involved into this. I reasoned....Adriano laid peacefully beside me af

I am dying.Adriano......AdrianoSofia cleared her throat and I snapped out of my thoughts.I feel no pain.There is no blood on my fingers. There is no blood on my clothes.There is still a safe distance between me and her.Oh my god.I have been imagining things.What is wrong with me?"You know how badly I want to stab you to death right now." I see the twitch in Sofia's palm.She isn't going to do it, is she? I feel so terrified knowing that someone out there is planning to kill me, and I don't even know why."You were the one who talked about supporting other women and you only did this to me. How can you?" She blamed me but kept her voice low."I am sorry. I thought you were lying. I just didn't want Adriano to get mad at me. I love him, I feel like I can do anything and everything he wants. I just-" I tried to explain to her."Just shut up. I am not here for you. I am here for my girls. I came to know they are sick." She sounded really concerned about her daughters."Sof

I was too stunned to say anything.I was too stunned to utter even a single syllable.The air around me becomes solid and almost impossible for me to inhale.I saw Enzo coming down to the kitchen and as he shot a death glare to both Sofia and me.Why am I getting a feeling that today is going to be my last day on planet Earth?Adriano told me to follow him but I did not move. I stood right beside Sofia.Enzo grabbed Sofia by her throat and squeezed it really hard. I rushed to help her. Before I could reach them a hand grabbed my arms.It didn't take Adriano long enough to grab me by my arms and drag me out of the kitchen.I followed him out of the kitchen because there is no way I will be able to escape that deathly grip of his. I stood facing Adriano as he dragged me out.I don't feel anything right now. Just numbness.I should be very mad and disappointed but I don't feel it. Not at this moment.I just feel empty."Was Sofia telling the truth?" Gathering all my courage I looked stra

Few years ago I came across a blog regarding a narcissist. That how you can never win an argument against them. Same is with Adriano. There is no winning from him."You did wrong to the women even your own mother and sister. I cannot stand it." I yelled at him."Listen to me, Emilia. You need to understand certain things."He sighed.He spoke. "Men are active social beings Emilia and women are passive sexual beings. Nature of man is to act, is to lead whereas nature of women is to obey and respond. A virtuous woman is simple and obedient." He explained me.What a trash.I don't believe what I am hearing.I think I might faint after hearing these words out of his mouth."Sofia shouldn't have gone against her husband like that. She shouldn't have created such a fuss regarding such a small issue." He commented."Small issue? It was a small issue for you?" I spoke, my words fill disgust and shock."Stop this Adriano. You are making me hate you. You are controlling and toxic." I said i

It wasn't Adriano but me who thrashed all the things in our bedroom.I threw his favourite vase on the wall, I threw the bed sheets on the floor, I threw the pillows on the floor.I was burning with rage.Everything that came across me, I broke it. Even Adriano's watches, his phone, the water jug and what not.I trashed the wall with his favourite cologne bottles, then hear the sound of a wooden door.Wooden door in the wall?I was shocked. Before I could go near to inspect more I heard Adriano's footsteps rushing into the room. I quickly moved away from the hidden door.Adriano came running into the room after hearing the loud noise.He rushed to me directly"Where is the damage?" He asked."Yes, I broke all of these things-" I spoke."I am asking about you. Are you hurt or are you fine?" My eyes filled with tears.His voice is full with concern.I wanted to cry but then I remembered what a manipulative ass he is.I don't even trust him anymore, whether he is genuinely concerned or
