LOGIN“I don’t want to talk about all the rumors that are surrounding my relationship with Emilio. I’ll speak to you when I finally tell the whole family the truth. I know this is hard, but you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone, especially not Tom’s family.” “It’s true, isn’t it? You helped him escape from prison. I can’t believe you would do something like this, knowing what kind of man he is. He will turn on you faster than you can imagine. Men like that are not reliable.”“And our family is? All I know is that he helped me not to lose my license when there was an inconsistency with the case I had with my brother. Alessandro was ready to throw me under the bus, and Emilio wasn’t.”“He sent me evidence to clear my name when Elena accused me of switching the evidence, which I didn’t do, by the way. She was ready to put me in prison and throw my career away just so she could salvage her reputation.”“I could go on and on about all the times that Milo has been there for me when n
“What the fuck is going on here? He’s the one person your father hates more than anything, and you’re telling me to treat his bullet wound? If you ask me, we should just let him die.”“Lorenzo, please just treat him right now, and I’ll explain things later. I don’t want to lose him.”He saw the ring on my finger, but he didn’t say anything because I had already told him that I would explain everything after he treated my husband.It was weird to call Emilio my husband, but he was, and I needed to protect him no matter what. We were in his goth estate. I had asked a bodyguard to fetch Lorenzo from his place, which meant he had to be blindfolded.Emilio may not have been in a position to speak, but I would always respect his wishes.Lorenzo didn’t understand why he had to be blindfolded until he got there and saw Emilio lying on our bed, unconscious.He asked me to remain outside as he gathered all his tools and prepared to remove the bullet from Emilio’s stomach and bandage him. I didn
My screams could be heard through the air. The sound was so loud that I could’ve made myself deaf. One minute, Emilio was holding me, and the other, he was on the ground, bleeding out.Men surrounded us to attack us, and Emilio’s bodyguards rushed towards me and tried to get me to leave him there, but I wouldn’t. I could see some masked men approaching us, but I didn’t care. I only wanted to make sure that my husband would be safe.I didn’t care about my safety. All I cared about was his. “We’ll carry him. Please come with us. He’ll kill us if we let anything happen to you.”“He’ll die!” I screamed.“If he dies, then he’ll come back from the dead just to make sure he has given us a piece of his mind. Please ensure that you’re safe and come with us. We don’t want anything to happen to you.”I refused to leave until I saw them carry him in front of me. We rushed away as the bodyguards tried to protect me and shoot at the perpetrators.I wasn’t sure how they had even gotten into the pro
I never actually imagined what my wedding day would look like. I guess I always thought I would marry a man I didn’t want to marry, so it didn’t really matter.But looking at myself in the mirror, there was nothing more I wanted than to walk down the aisle and tie the knot with the man who made me the happiest. I didn’t even yearn for my father to walk me down the aisle.He would do nothing but put a stain on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. And it was.I had never imagined I’d marry in secret—least of all the man my father despised most. I was in yet another one of Emilio’s properties. He was very wealthy with property in places I didn’t think.The one we were going to get married in was a villa covered in golden themes. It seemed more like a home straight out of an AI-generated image than a real place. The gold was accentuated more by the sunlight falling onto it perfectly.It was Emilio’s coastal estate that he told me was his private sanctuary. It was hidden be
“Mimi came to my office today. She pulled me out of a meeting and even embarrassed me. She said she doesn’t wait for anyone because she is too important for that.”Emilio’s soft look hardened in an instant. He was obviously mad, but I didn’t want him upset over a trivial matter when he didn’t know half of what had happened after that.“I am going to have her kneel before you and apologize. She can’t go around doing things like these and think that she can get away with it.”“That’s not even the main thing that happened. She told me the wedding is still on and that nothing had changed. She expects me to walk down the aisle and marry her son. Not only that, she wants me to quit my job.”Emilio was suddenly cold and detached. His ability to change his feelings in an instant was scary to say the least. I wanted him to say he would save me from the marriage.“Do you want to get married to Tom?” He asked.“What? No. How could you ask me that?”“You didn’t tell me when the two of you were ge
After my conversation with Donata, I called Emilio to ask him where he was. He told me he was at his company. I had never been there before, so I rushed over there.The receptionist refused to let me in unless I had an appointment.“I know him. He’s my…boyfriend.” I said that because it was the only title I could give him.I couldn’t exactly tell the receptionist that Emilio was my fuck buddy.She looked at me like I had two heads and started laughing.“Emilio Vitale doesn’t have a girlfriend. You can go and spin that lie somewhere else, but not here. I’m going to ask you to leave before I call security.”It was a scene straight out of a cliché drama, so I called him and told him what happened. All he had to do was make the call to the receptionist, and she let me in. She told me he was in a meeting, and I had to wait in his office.But I had no interest in waiting for him. I barged into the conference room, and everyone’s eyes were on me. I gave Emilio a look that said I wanted to se
