55“Miss Bellen, we suggest you stand on your tracks!” A man yelled as rushing toward me. I stepped back in fear after glancing at him but as I recalled behind me was Nathan and he reached close to catch me, I hastily turned to the one route left, I pushed my legs aimlessly to my left and ran for my life, “Lana!” Nathan shouted but I fastened my speed even my legs started to hurt already, I ran and came into the living room, there were open-glass windows which led to the garden, I decided my route and gave it a try without any second thought, I climbed off the window and got straight to run into the woods. Nathan had good speed to catch me but I was also used to running back in America for my school, I was confident that he would lose me once I mixed with the trees. “Lana, I swear you better stop where you are or this would turn really disastrous,” Nathan forewarned, his tone was deadpan and some voice deep inside me suggested me to listen him but I chose to ignore, he was my belove
56“Let’s make a baby, love,” he moaned in my ear and bit it. I processed what he said, my eyes were holding his vulnerable side and I was undeniably getting a stronger pull toward him, maybe because of our marriage bond, I believed when spouses accept each other from hearts, they feel an indubitable attraction towards each other and it was happening in our case. My hands cupped his face, his eyes were lowered, “I demand your eyes up, Armando. Look at me and repeat me you won’t dishonour me anymore and take me as your true wife. Promise me you will behave human and you will protect me and your offspring, you won’t make them inhuman creatures. I’d been through a ride of hell and I don’t want to fight anymore, Armando, I need a normal life, a life every girl has a right to life. A year and half months back, I didn’t know that a mafia man would fall in love with me and I will stand here but here am I, so I want you to choose... Today, you need to choose between me or your killing obsess
57Last night was unexpected. I couldn’t think of anything else than the inevitable mistake I made last night from the moment I woke up on his bed, I revived the moment happened between us and realized I willingly had sex with him four times, four bloody rounds and these messed up bedsheets and torn pillows screamed at me how rough last night must’ve been. I buried my face in my hands, regretted every second of what I signed up for myself and what would come next was absolutely clueless, either I had to bear a cold Armando or completely different of what I just said,I was constantly scolding myself, I literally had no idea why I agreed on having intercourse with that man last night, I was having soft corners for him but that didn’t mean I had agreed on having sex with him or forgiven him for every sin he committed. Calling myself shocked was an underestimation, it was above words. But one thing I was sure of, somebody was drugging me, Viagra was in my system that made me do this. I p
58I ran out of the office, praying that I would catch him before he ran away. He was Nathan’s spy and I was sure of it. You’ve to catch him at any cost. You’ve to at any cost, Lana! That’s what I’d been hearing in my mind. I forced my legs to make it before he escaped, I flashed from the corridors and stormed to outside, reaching to the front side of the garden, my focus was on the backside of it. Lana, run faster, he will escape and we can’t lose him. Subconsciousness is reminded again and again. It was like I was running for my life, I scanned him as long as my sight went in the field, but unfortunately, I lost him from where he was. Of course, he was sharp to dodge the security. “Lana!” I heard Nancy screaming my name, I turned around to check out, she was running my way, I frowned, behind her were men following the direction, Okay, I’m not escaping again. Trust me. “What were you chasing?” She asked, panting for breath.“I…” In lost of excuses, “There was a squirrel, I came to s
59Warning: This Chapter Extremely Presents Sexual Acts, Please Read It At Your Own Risk.“Are you ready for tonight, Mrs De Luca?” he whispered. My lips were parted and it was all over my face that I was not ready to answer this question, was he asking me to get prepared for him? Well no… but yes somewhere deep down too -after constantly catching clue about Nathan was losing my faith in him-. I couldn’t understand my emotion that moment, it was like I wanted to say no but my heart held my tongue and I was unable to reject him, my heart was craving his touch and shouting at me to accept his offer -which should be the last thing in my mind- but unfortunately, it was the one ruling all over. I was at a loss of words, what should I say to him, I’m on my periods? I feel nauseated? Oh God, Lana, think fast, he was looking up to you for an answer, say something for your safety’s sake, I turned my eyes at him, he was reading my face and it was clear on his face he could clearly read my te
60Three Weeks LaterThree weeks. Were these three weeks real? Nothing had been more peaceful than these 21 days. I’d never thought Armando would act this way. He actually took care for me as a concerned husband and let me live freely. He isn’t anymore the Armando I knew a year and a half back. That Armando was my rapist but this one is my protector, my lover. He took me on dates, went on shopping with me, fed me with his own hands, slept with me with his hands around me, made love to me so passionately that his soul touched my heart every time. All of this was magical. Last week I got to know I was one week pregnant with his baby and that week we had multiple rounds of sex, all night long until sunrise peeked through the opaque curtains. When he got the news, his happiness was out of control. He became overly protective of me and spoiled me like a baby. After the pregnancy announcement, he started taking me on midnight long-drives on the roads of Spain instead of his bed. From our
61“Do Something! Do Something, Hurry Up!” It had been five minutes since I was hustling in the room and forcing my head to think of an idea to save Julianna, he wounded her throat just to blackmail me and it won’t be hard for him to turn his words into reality, I won’t be able to take Julianna’s blood on my conscience, I needed to think fast otherwise he’d kill her! Oh God, help me! What should I do? Tell Armando? No, he might be tapping my calls. Then I can clue Armando about this face-to-face… Hell no, he has men spying on us. Ah… then what should I be going for!? I picked my phone from the bed and redialed the unknown number, it was ringing and after a moment, a manly voice spoke, “Hello, little one, I was waiting for your call for ten minutes, what took you so long?” Nathan’s tone hinted me he was infuriated a bit. “You have everything to do with me, why are you hurting her? What do you want from my family? Leave her alone!” I gnashed, my tone was enough to tell him that I wa
62I caught my senses coming back to life, why did my body feel so burdensome? Like somebody was pulling my soul out of my toe and I couldn’t do anything instead of going through with the intolerable pain. And my head was on constant hammering, It was like that. I tried opening my eyes for my best but it turned out I had to do immense wrestling. I finally fought my pains and was forced to open my eyes, first, everything was blurry but eventually with time, it settled down and I got my sight somewhat stable. I glanced around to detect the place but it was unknown to me, then my mind clicked. I was once again drugged by my first love. I threw my head down, disappointment was getting the best of me and I kept scolding about everything I felt for that man, now, I regretted it deeply. “I see you’re up, love,” The voice that I least wanted to hear made its way to my ears. A grumpy dwarf innerly-growled at him in my head and I raised it to see him unfortunately, he was looking usual; tidy
