Mariano and I had been married for 5 years now. It had been pleasant. No scratch that, it had been absolutely lovely being married to Mariano Wolfe Lionelli Montefiore Rivera.
We loved each other so much, so hard, we needed nothing else.
It was around 10 am on a rainy Sunday morning. I was in bed, naked, just having woken up. Mariano had had a meeting early in the morning so he'd left, leaving me in bed alone. I was about to leave this soft haven when the door to our room opened and Mariano stepped in.
"Good morning, dolcezza
Bella." He said."Morning." I said, then rolled over to stare at him. "You're up early. And you're all dressed up."

Mariano One
For the last few months, there had been, only about, four days, when I had a good night's sleep. I had demons. And the night reminded me exactly why. My demons appeared vividly in my dreams. Each time I tried to forget, they reappeared. I couldn't escape them, no matter how hard I tried. This was something I was sure I would never escape, something that would always remain a part of me. Sometimes it felt like my past was embedded into my soul, I could feel its remnants flow through my body every passing day.My dreams - nightmares - were characterised by similarity. Most days, it was like an episode on repeat. Some days though, it was more real, more horrifying, and I felt everything down to my bones. It was

I was so glad that only Luca, and not Alessandro was the one taking me home. I really didn't like that guy. He was scary and looked like a cannibal. I kept thinking he’d rip out a part of my skin and chomp on it in front of my eyes."Ti sei divertito , giglio?"Luca asked as I strapped myself in the passenger seat of his Bugarti.(Did you have fun, lily?)
Mariano Three
He was here. Don. Don was here. I did not have it in me to face him. We would be meeting again; I had known that. But this...soon? I was not so sure about that. What if he’d decided today was the day I died? What if he wanted to kidnap me and sell me to a cannibal? What is he sold me to Alessandro?!I told my co-worker, Millie to take his table. She looked at me weird - because, who'd deny a chance to wait on that sexy piece of a man?She pushed her chest into his face, smiling coquettishly at him as she asked him what he wante

We pulled in back to where I had been last night. The old decrepit building where Luca had brought me. Did he live here? He looked rich enough. He could rent a small flat, at the least?"Do you live here?" I asked Mariano the moment we stopped."Sometimes."
Mariano Five
I followed Mariano up the stairs that Aria had just come from. His steps were deliberately slow. I was getting pissed. What exactly was happening here? I was dying, dying of anxiety."You called me yours." I said to him. He turned around to look at me once, then commenced walking, entering a large room with a mahogany desk. The same room where we had first met."This is my offic

I had expected his floor to be…well...plain. But it was actually nice. Welcoming. Warm. I’d expected all darkness and dullness and boring décor. But I kind of liked it, actually."This is nice." I smiled at Mariano.He grunted. "My mom decorated it. My house is better, I swear."I laughed. "Sure."
Mariano Seven
I woke up alone in bed. Good thing, because somehow in the course of the night I had become diagonally positioned. I turned to the side. Mariano stood in front of me, all dressed up, looking dapper in his usual attire."Buon giorgio, Bella." He smiled.(Good morning)"Good morning." I said, sitting up. "What's the time?"
Mariano Eight
Saying that Aiden was mad that a new man was driving me home every other day would be an understatement. When Mariano pulled in in front of my apartment building, Aiden was standing there talking to Landon. I got off the car, and both of them strangled me into a hug so that it looked like we were a throuple. Landon pulled away a lot later after Aiden did and glared at me."Too many one-night stands, babe? I didn’t know you were that kind of girl." He taunted. I narrowed my eyes at him. That kind of girl?Mariano stood there, leaning against his car and watched us.
