LOGINHer father put him in prison, and she let him out. Italy’s most notorious criminal, Emilio Vitale, has criminal charges that are enough to put him in prison for life. That all changes when Chiara is given an assignment to interview him three years after her father puts him in jail. Things go south, and Emilio escapes from custody. Chiara thinks she will never see him again, but she can’t be more wrong. Emilio has other plans, and he is far from done with rocking Chiara’s boat and punishing her father by using her as a pawn. Somewhere along the way, they forget they are supposed to hate one another, and they break the laws of attraction. Their attraction is magnetic and impossible to ignore. Can these two weather storms find happiness where there isn’t any? In a world where it’s impossible for them to find love, they find each other. *** He backed me into a wall, putting his hand above my head to cage me in. “This isn’t original, Vitale. Stay away from me, or I will call the cops on you.” I threatened, ignoring how wildly my heart was beating against my chest. His scent was intoxicating and I hated how my body reacted to him. He used his free hand to brush a strand of my hair out of my face and leaned in like he was about to kiss me. Embarrassingly enough, I closed my eyes in anticipation. “Does that little boyfriend of yours get your body in a frenzy like I do? I bet he doesn’t let you cum.” He asked as he traced his fingers down my waist to my hips. “I bet I would have you screaming my name in seconds. Will you let me?”
View MoreKeluarga Parker tinggal dikediaman Yellowstone, hunian mewah yang berada di New York. Keluarga itu adalah pesohor dan jutawan yang paling berpengaruh. Tetapi memiliki kekayaan yang berlimpah tak membuat Mrs Parker merasakan kebahagiaan di rumah besar itu. Wanita paruh baya itu selalu menghabiskan waktunya dengan minuman alkohol di ruang kerjanya. Tubuhnya semakin kurus, lehernya terlihat panjang, dan wajahnya menyiratkan kesedihan.
Amber menyalahkan dirinya atas kaburnya Kimberley, anak perempuannya. Harry anak laki-lakinya juga jarang pulang. Mereka berdua terlibat hubungan terlarang. Walaupun tidak sedarah tapi Harry sudah menjadi anggota keluarganya, menjadi anak yang dia sayangi.
Semenjak kepergian mereka Amber sangat kesepian walaupun Emily anak bungsunya menemani. Amber tidak tahan lagi dengan kehidupan ini, dia semakin frustasi saat mengetahui rahasia suaminya. Bertahun-tahun Leon menyembunyikan rahasia itu padanya.
Ketika setengah dari kesadarannya masih berfungsi, dia mendengar seseorang melintasi pintu ruang kerjanya. Beberapa waktu ini dia sering merasakan tanda-tanda aneh di sekelilingnya. Terkadang ada seseorang bersenandung di depan kamarnya, kemudian ada yang menjerit-jerit. Karena setiap kali ia merasakan itu saat sedang minum alkohol, Amber mengabaikan saja hal-hal aneh itu.
Tapi malam ini dia tergerak untuk melihat keadaan diluar dengan kesadaran yang belum sepenuhnya. Amber mengikuti suara langkah kaki yang dia pun tidak tahu siapa itu. Saat dia berbelok untuk menaiki tangga tiba-tiba suara hujan turun. Rambutnya yang berantakan dengan pakaian tidur dia akhirnya tetap melanjutkan langkahnya.
Ruang itu gelap, wanita itu tidak terpikirkan untuk menyalakan lampu di setiap lorong yang sepi itu, suara tangisan terdengar membuat keresahan Amber bergemuruh. Angin berhembus kencang menyapu tirai.
"Emily? Sayang kau kah itu?" suara Amber memanggil. Satu tangannya memegang dinding untuk menahan tubuhnya, memejamkan mata sebentar karena rasa sakit akibat minumannya.
"Emiii...." Panggilnya lagi. Tidak ada sahutan dari siapapun.
"Aku akan membunuh kalian! Aku akan membunuh kau, Kimberley, siapapun yang membuatku sakit hati."
"Mommy..."
Nafasnya tercekat mendengar suara seseorang yang mengerikan. Kedua tangannya bergetar. "Mati... Mati!" Langkah kaki Amber semakin cepat dan dia pun berlari ke arah suara.
"Emiiii... " Walaupun kesadaran belum utuh tali ia mengenal suara putrinya yang merintih. Dengan cepat Amber mendobrak pintu kamar anaknya. Jantungnya berdegup tidak beraturan, yang dia pikirkan adalah keadaan anaknya.
Kepalanya kosong penuh, ia takut ini adalah halusinasinya akibat minuman keras. Dan saat pintu terbuka Amber tidak mendapatkan anaknya. Namun pintu kamar mandi menarik perhatiannya.
"EMIII...."
Teriakan Amber kuat, matanya terbelalak mendapatkan anaknya yang berusia 15 tahun berada di bak mandi dengan mata yang terbuka tanpa ekpresi. Amber berlari ke arah bathtub dan menarik anaknya yang terendah air, satu tangannya mencari denyut nadi Emily.
"EMI... MOMMY DI SINI SAYANG! BANGUN EMI!"
Tidak! Tidak! Amber ingin ini adalah halusinasinya.
Tapi Emily tetap tidak memberikan gerakan saat Amber membangunkan anaknya. Wajah Emily pucat dan tubuhnya terasa sangat dingin. Amber berteriak kencang di keheningan malam itu.
"Mom, I love you. Aku akan memberikan yang terbaik buatmu agar kelak Mommy tersenyum bahagia melihat aku memenuhi harapanmu, Mommy. Aku mencintaimu, Daddy, Kim, juga Harry. Kita akan berlibur lagi bukan?" Kilasan bayangan Emi terlintas di benaknya. "Mom, jangan menangis lagi, aku sedih melihatmu menangis."
Emilio successfully rescued me just like I thought he would. He was my prince charming, and he had always been my savior ever since I met him. Spending the rest of my life by his side was nothing short of a blessing.I was the one who unknowingly put myself in danger, and he had come rushing to find me. He told me that I had a tracker in my necklace that allowed him to narrow my search and that when I had been with Vittoria, the signal had been bad since she was deeper in the forest.However, when I was taken by Diego and his men, the signal only temporarily came back on, and he was able to track down where I was, and he came rushing in.He never stopped looking for me.“Did you find Alessandro?”“Yes. He’s in the basement, and I don’t know what to do with him. I didn’t want to do something you didn’t want me to do because he’s your brother, and at the end of the day, I have to respect your wishes for him. I wanted to kill him.”“What about Vittoria?”“She’s dead. Alessandro killed he
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not my fault that you don’t believe me. I haven’t lied about anything, and you probably think I’m a liar because you think all women are liars, but I’m not lying.”“My name is Chiara, and I was kidnapped because my car broke down a few miles from here, and some people took me to an abandoned place in the middle of a forest. I was able to escape, and I was rescued by your friend who wanted to sell me. That’s what happened, and if you don’t believe me, I don’t know what else I can do to convince you.”He looked into my eyes for a long time, trying to decide whether I was telling the truth or not, but because I hadn’t mentioned my last name, he probably thought I was not lying to him.“Good. I hate lying whores the most because they’re the ones who make me hurt them, and I don’t like hurting women. I only like selling them for profit.”I couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically. He claimed he didn’t enjoy hurting women, and he had slapped me twi
The three men were all staring at me, waiting for me to give an answer, and I contemplated whether I was going to lie or not. Telling them my name was a risk because they would be able to identify me. After all, I had been in the news so many times.The first time I was on the news was when Emilio planted stories to push the narrative that I was the one who broke him out of prison, and then, after that, because of my father‘s death, and so many times after, because I had married the man who was an accused criminal.I was no stranger to the public and television, and just because they couldn’t identify my face didn’t mean they couldn’t identify my name. I didn’t want to take that risk.“My name is Chiara Rossi.” My first name was real, but my last name wasn’t. I didn’t even want to use my marital name, just in case they knew who Emilio was and we’re familiar with all the things he had done in Italy.Who knew the kind of people he was enemies with? All the gangs he had taken down in an
“Grab her fucking legs. I told you not to pull this shit, and here you are. What if she fucking ran away? Do you know what this could’ve cost us?” a strange man asked.I couldn’t see anything due to the bright headlights, but I could tell these people were not friendly. They obviously wanted to hurt me, and my hopes of a savior coming to my rescue were crushed.“Grab her legs and take her back to the house. This is an extra cost that we have to incur. I didn’t want any more girls. Now that she has been shot and is injured, she will be worth less than the hassle.” The man said.When they took me back to the house, I finally got to see their faces. One was a Hispanic man, and the other looked Italian. They all spoke English, which told me they weren’t from around there. Maybe the one Italian man was the one who was a local.“Please just let me go. I promise I’ll not tell anyone what happened here.” I begged.“You filthy little thing. You try to escape and kill my friend, and you think
"Hey! Please get me some water!" I said loudly to make sure that anyone was outside, and they heard me. I had been in that seat for hours. I waited for Vittoria and Alessandro to come back, but they didn’t. I thought no one heard me when I shouted, but the door opened, and two men walked in. They
It was Alessandro, my brother who was supposed to be in rehab. He was in cahoots with Vittoria to kidnap me and make my life miserable. The man I had given a second chance of life didn’t even care how much I had sacrificed so that he wouldn’t take the fall for anything.All he cared about was plott
She responded by laughing.“I’m not here to attack you. I just wanted to have a woman-to-woman talk with you. We’re all cordial here. I’m a woman just like you, and I thought it’s best if I warned you about something. Don’t you think so?”I looked at her skeptically, wondering what she could possib
“You don’t like that I know everything about you, even though your husband also did the same thing. What does he have that I don’t have? I am more powerful than him, and I can give you a better life without having to look over your shoulder. Besides, I have never been to prison before, and I have a
