CHAPTER 3

Edited Chapter.

ANALISE'S POV

I am in deep sleep when I feel something on my neck. It is moving. I push it aside by my hand. I feel it again and now it is licking my neck.

There is something hard like beard. I am feeling weight on my body. Realization dawns upon me. Instantly opening my eyes, the first thing that comes in my vision is Luciano.

I scream loudly. His hand is quickly on my mouth to prevent my screaming.

"Shh tesoro. Don't scream. Why are you scared? Nothing is going to happen to you" (sweetheart). He cooed in my ear. I look at him shocked and fearful.

"Fuck! Sei così bella!" He says in Italian. (You are so beautiful)

He again positions himself on my entrance. Sleep flushes out of my body. 'No, Not again'

"Please! I a-am already sore" I gently say. I even try to plead, but he doesn't listen to me. I look at the window to see it is still dark. I can't take anymore.

Next Day

I open my eyes and can only feel soreness everywhere.

Every single part of my body is sore. My eyes are swollen.

Sunlight is coming from windows and is illuminating this dark room but it can do nothing to brighten my dark life.

I try to get out of bed but feel an arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I try to move it and it tightens more. Luciano is clutching my body tightly from behind.

"Going somewhere, tesoro" (sweetheart) He asks startling me. I thought he was asleep.

"I want to use washroom" I speak lowly. My throat hurt.

"Ok! Go and take a bath. It will soothe your muscles and afterwards come downstairs for breakfast. You can find dress in closet." He orders. He picks his phone up from the bedside table and check it.

He gets up and lean towards me to kiss my forehead but I flinch.

"Soon you will also love me like I love you." Saying this he gently kisses my forehead and goes in washroom probably to take a shower.

Afterwards I hear the water. I rub my forehead to erase his touch. He comes out all dressed up and leave after telling me that he will be waiting for me downstairs.

I try to get up but my legs are paining too much. With the help of wall, I enter the bathroom.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I gasp. I look horrible. My breasts, legs, shoulders are covered with hickeys. There is redness around my eyes.

After starting the shower, I set the temperature to normal and start rubbing my arms, legs and body till everything is red. I just want to erase his touch. Tears are flowing out from my eyes.

Coming out of shower I enter the closet and like everything in this house it is also beautiful. I see it is filled with men's clothes. Watches and ties are assembled in a neat way along with clothes.

I reach to the women's side and find a lot of clothes. Dresses, nightgown, party dresses, sleep wares, lingerie which are too revealing, shoes and whatnot.

This all would have cost a good fortune. I pick up a red short dress because all dresses here are short. At least it is not revealing and covers everything till mid thigh.

It is warm and perfect for today.

He told me to come downstairs. I should go maybe we can talk about me leaving. He took my virginity now what he wants more. Should I talk to him about divorce?

Although my legs still hurt while walking but are better than before. Following the same path, I followed yesterday I reach at the bottom of stairs.

Again, front door is in front of me. Maybe I should just leave but to whom I am kidding. There must be security outside to protect him.

'Will they let me leave? Of course not. '

I move towards the dining room.

"Sì! Sono a Bologna adesso. Ana è con me." Luciano's voice reaches my ears. He is talking to someone on his phone. (Yes! I am in Bologna right now. Ana is with me.)

But I can't understand it because he is speaking in Italian with a thick accent. Nonetheless, I decide to enter the room.

Again, he is sitting on head seat. "Ana! Come, have a seat. You look beautiful today." He said in a saccharine voice.

I don't acknowledge his compliment and sit on his right. Before I can talk to him maids appear carrying our breakfast. Chiara is telling them what to do.

Luciano looks at them and speak, "Ana, meet Chiara. She is the head maid and Chiara! She is Ana, il mio amore." (My love)

"My name is Analise not Ana. So, stop with this bullshit." I say loudly and sternly. Maids look at me with a horrified expression. What is with him calling me Ana? As if we have known each other for years.

"Partire." He orders and everyone scurried out of the room. (Leave)

He grabs my hand from under the table and squeeze it badly till I cry out. Then he looks at me and speak in a calm yet dominating voice.

"Ana! You are my love as well as my wife. I fell in love with you when I saw you in my bar one year ago. I have waited for us to be together since a long time but I will not anymore. Our wedding is in next week.

If you stop disrespecting me then we will be good or else we will have a problem which will not prove good for you. So, for your sake accept it as soon as you can."

After saying this he left my hand. I look at my now red hand and rub it to soothe some pain. By last night's events I am already scared of him and now he is threatening.

"I don't want to marry you. I didn’t even want to sign the papers. I don't want to live with you and obviously don't want any of this. I don't care if you love me or not. It is just infatuation so please stop this." I try to make him understand.

"Does it matter if you want it or not?" He says with a smirk. I look at him with hatred.

"Don't ever say that what I feel for you is infatuation because it is not. I am fine with you not loving me back. I am the mafia king and you can never escape from my country." He says with surety.

I am on the verge of crying. He is looking at me daring me to say anything more.

"Come on, eat now. After this we have to go for dress shopping, and we also have to buy our rings." He says leaving the topic. His mood changes so fast.

Ignoring him I start eating as I am starving. I actually taste it this time and wow! It is so tasty. I actually moan after taking my first bite.

I look towards him to see his lust filled eyes.

"You don't know how much I want to ravish you right now." His words were terrifying because I don't want him to rape me again. I lower down my gaze and start eating again but without making any noise this time.

After we are done with breakfast, he grabs a hold of my hand and start dragging me with him. Even though I don't want to go but still what can I do.

Either I can go willingly or with bruises. He will be taking me no matter what so it is better if I comply.

It is my first time out of this mansion. I see lots of trees in front. Sunlight kissing my body is the best feeling. Cool breeze is flowing. It is not too cold though.

Then we move towards a car which is already waiting for us. I think it is SUV because I don't have much knowledge about cars. A man comes dressed in black and bows.

When Luciano nods at him he opens the door for us. I think he is chauffeur here.

Luciano tells me to sit inside the car and like an obedient dog I sit inside it. Wow! *sarcastic*

When trees pass, I look outside the window, and I am surprised to see the beauty of this city. Streets are not too busy like are in New York.

"You like the city?" Luciano asks. I don't answer him and continue to look out.

People are talking to each other. Children are playing. Customers are entering and getting out of different shops. Some are busy with their work. I wonder how many of them are not happy like me. How many of them are here against their will?

I look at everything with curiosity filled eyes.

"Bologna is a quiet and peaceful city. It is famous for its beauty. Many tourists come here. One day when I will trust like no end, I will allow you to venture it. Till then, you will have to see its beauty through windows." He explains making me roll my eyes.

I try to ignore him but his words made me angry. I try to suppress my anger and instead focus on this beautiful city.

"Ragazza testarda." He said to himself and chuckled. (Stubborn girl)
