ALINA I wiped off the bullet beads of sweat that were smeared all over my face with a groan. Carrying a tray stacked with food, I ventured out of the kitchen. Dante had been so annoying my ass off ever since I coaxed him to stay off work. Now, thinking about it again with a clearer mind, I should have just let Dante fucking go out. Atleast, I would have peace of mind and I would only have to endure his meaningless and ceaseless rude remarks and tantrums by dusk. Dante had totally turned me into a bee, ever working with no rest.I ran the house activities and sometimes Dante would make me go through his work files and cross check them while he laid comfortably in his king sized bed. I admit that he is injured and he needs treatment but is turning me into a slave part of his recovery process? To the world, I was the fortunate wife of Dante Morelli but in the four corners of this mansion, I am nothing but his slave. I am his slave whom he tosses and keeps at his own wi
ALINA I pulled out a chair from the dinning area and shambled myself into it. With nervousness building up in me, I took out a plate and served myself some food. As I did so, my breathing suddenly became hitched within me. It caged in my lungs and and I had to try calm myself."So how long have you and Dante being married?" Stella cheekily asked with a wink. I downcasted my eyes and I pressed in my lips tightly. "Not for so long. Barely two months" I replied. From the corners of my eyes, I could spot Dante's face contorted and his knuckles were so balled up that I could swear it was turning white. Oh my God. Why was Dante so vexed and tensed? I could clearly see that he was trying so hard to control his anger.He was so inflamed with exasperation and it was without any fucking reason.I mean it's just dinner.Am I not also allowed to relate with other people? Dante's over bearing attitude was just too much.I sighed within me and took a drink of the glass of water kept be
ALINA The mild clashing of cluteries resonated through the walls of the kitchen as I prepared breakfast. My dishevelling thoughts clouded my mind as my hands manoeuvred in the kitchen sink. Dante's cruelty towards me over these past couple of days had soared so greatly that there was no other way he could hate me more than he hated me now. What did I ever do to Dante?I mean the Russian mafias were the ones who caused his parents death not me. Why was he so bent on melting it out on me? This wasn't a life I was living. This was hell and torture. I never imagined my married life would be this chaotic and terrible. I hated all these. Dante was on a journey to show that he was outrightly in charge of my life.Just for joining his friends for dinner, I got a bruised cheek in return accompanied by yet another deadly threat. My heart throbbed loudly that I felt it would break out of my rib cages. Dante balefully warned me to watch my back. What did that mean? As the warn
DANTE I could see the confusion all wrapped up in her face. Alina stared at me wide eyed like a deer caught on headlights. A brief silence interluded as we both stared at each other."Excuse me?" Alina finally spoke up, breaking the silence.Strands of her wavy auburn hair covered her face and her brows were hiked at me."What?" I abruptly replied with another question.Alina sighed. "What are you doing?" Her hazel eyes raked my appearance totally like I was some sort of thief.I ignored her question at first and opened the first aid kit. Her eyes followed my every move until I glanced up and our orbs met together."What does it look like I am doing? Are you blind?" I rudely replied."It was just a simple question that deserved an answer" Alina retorted.I let out a dark chuckle. "Curiosity kills the cat moglie" Taking out a burn ointment, I outstretched my hands for Alina to place hers on top it. Alina seemed hesistant at first which irked me."Alina I am not holding a knife for G
ALINASunlight creeped into my room through the curtains that swayed over my windows.I pinched my eyes shut even more and stretched my hand to feel the softness of my duvet. At once my eyes flew open in a hurry and I sat up straight in a fluid motion.Fuck. My eyes wandered to the clock. Geez! It was after eleven already. Almost noon!I was late in preparing breakfast for Dante. Shit! He was definitely waiting to unleash his wrath on me once I came downstairs. It then dawned on me on what occurred last night. Dante had hired two maids to take care over the house following my burn incident. I heaved a deep sigh of relief. Thinking of what transpired last night got me suddenly beaming with smiles. Finally!I would no longer have to wake by seven am or six thirty to prepare breakfast and take care of the house. I could lay on my bed and enjoy its warmth till whenever."Yes!" I exclaimed, happy as a lark with giggles escaping my parted lips.The pain in my scald hands and fe
ALINA I was filled with questions on where Dante was taking me too. I had asked him over and over again on where we were heading to but he didn't say a word. Inquisitiveness had become the best of me. I shot him questions incessantly on what he meant by where I would find peace but he kept on replying evasively. And to worsen my fear, Dante had bounded my eyesight with a piece of cloth which would be taken off once we got to wherever he was taking me to. My tremor rose to magnificent height as the car drove on the road. Where was Dante taking me to exactly and why was I on a blindfold? Probably he was really going to take me somewhere he would kill me and dispose of my corpse like he did to poor Theodore. Oh would he sell me off to a foreign country to be used as a sex slave or something vile? Whatever his thoughts were, they defintely were not good. Dante was not one to be trusted or messed with. I clamped my hands together, fervently praying that Dante wouldn't take m
ALINA My day at the beach with Dante had surprisingly turned out to be refreshing to say the least. Dante was so playful, I had never seen him being that carefree or playful in my few months of being with him. He was usually putting up this cold wall of emptiness and wearing a baleful profile that just a glance at him was enough to get one to pee on themselves.But the Dante I saw yesterday was the exact opposite of what I knew him to be. He seemed so jovial, not having a single care of anything in the world.He even got us toy water guns and derived fun in splashing water on me and getting me all soaked and wrapped up in his playful gimmicks. I didn't realise when his playful attitude began rubbing off on me and I joined him as we splashed each other water on the beach. He wasn't the cold, heartless, rude and over bearing Dante. He was just a normal average young man who was enjoying his time outdoors with his wife. I never actually imagined a day like this would eve
Her knees became jelly like and almost gave way to the ground the moment her eyes veered to meet the exasperated orbs of her husband, Dante. Alina drafted her eyes away from Dante's overheated gaze to the broken pieces of Dante's parents frame which was smeared all over the tiled cold floors. The frame had been broken into smithereens, shattered and distributed all around the floor. Alina slowly raised her eyes once more to meet the scorching and heated orbs of Dante who was breathing fire and brimstones in that moment as his orbs locked with hers."Dante I'm-I am so-so" Alina stuttered trying to push the words out of her lips."You are what!?" Dante barked at once which got Alina flinching.She knew how important this frame was to him and she could understand he had the right to be furious with her."Alina why are you so fucking stupid!? What were you even doing here in the first place! I sent Naomi not you! Is your brain that empty that it can't comprehend simple instructio
