AGOSTI
When I opened my eyes the next day morning, she was gone.The information from my guard was that she asked to be let out and he had assisted her, making sure he sent her off in a ride to whatever destination she picked.It would be the first time a woman would leave my bed without begging for something more between us or asking for money and it was all for the better that she knew her place and had kept to it.I picked up her panties, torn and still moist with her juices. I twirled it in my fingers, remembering how soft… how pliant she had been under me.“Let Luca know we will be having dinner with his soon to be wife’s family and he is to behave accordingly” I told my bodyguard who nodded and exited the room.Well, Las Vegas was fun but it was time for me to get back to the real world and that would be making sure my stepson did not fuck up his marriage to the Romano’s.Luca had been my son since the death of his parents and now my heir since I never thought to marry.They were a good family and they owed me money. It was only fair that their daughter be joined with my son and although he was against marrying a girl he barely knew, I was told that she was a good girl and she knew her place.I pocketed her panties, walking out of the room. It was time to head out then maybe talk to my son about his marriage once and for all before the dinner in the evening.I allowed Paulo who always drove me around whenever I decided to visit Las Vegas drive me to the airport.“Did you enjoy yourself this time around?” He askedI sighed at this question, my mind drifting annoyingly to the girl… Rachael.Why had she left so suddenly?“I had a great time, thank you Paulo” I told him.He nodded his head in appreciation and we said nothing more to each other until we got to the airport.“Please visit again” He told him while I was climbing up my private jet.He always said that with a smile on his face and he was maybe one of the reasons I tried to visit the country.He had a daughter and a son whom he always tried to cater for and with his wife dead, he also had to take care of them and although I had told him to move permanently to Spain with me so I could properly take care of them, he had rejected my offer.“I will have the cost transferred to your account” I told him, casting a wave.I reclined in my seat as we left.It was noon before I arrived at my home in Spain.“Father” My son nodded as I stepped out of the jet.“Luca” I patted his shoulder. “Follow me”We walked inside and straight to my bedroom where I began undressing… I had to take a bath and then prepare for the dinner.“I do not want to marry the girl” He commented.“I know but you will because I need you to” I told him.“Just give him time to pay your money back instead of asking me to marry her” He countered. “Do you think the girl in question would even want to marry me?”“She also has no choice and as much as I want to humor you as I have been doing for so long, I cannot. Now is not the time for you to get what you want and you should understand that you will inherit all of these in the future. I need you to do things that you don’t want to, just to keep the business going” I explained.“I will leave you to get ready” He muttered.I heard the door close behind him and sighed.I knew he would not understand the reason for all of these at the moment but he would later on.I was soon dressed and we got into the limousine with Luca making it a point to ignore me.I did not mind and I was sure he would behave and represent our family in the best way he could.We soon arrived at the Romano’s mansion and we were welcomed by my friend and the head of the home; Angelo Romano.I allowed him lead us into his home and straight to the dining table where I sighed his wife Lucy and the other person at the table whom I pegged as their daughter; Isabella.“Please welcome the Deville’s” He announced.“Oh please, Angelo… there is no need for all of these” I drawled, walking around the table with Luca trailing after me.“Oh please… we will be family soon so I say there is need to treat you like the royalty you are” He stopped me.I raised my head, my eyes taking in his daughter. She had her head bowed to the table but it was weird that I could feel a spark of recognition as I willed her to look at me.She did then, her eyes reaching mine as I heard her gasp from across the room.It was as though time had stopped as I stared into the eyes of none other than, Rachael.It was impossible!“Agosti… meet my daughter, Isabella and my wife Lucy”I managed to control my expression, keeping my face devoid and blank as I stared at her… I could still taste her on my lips, could still hear her screams in my ears as I fucked her.“Mr Deville” She sputtered, no doubt thinking the same thing I was.She looked like a deer caught in the headlights and I could only help but wonder about how much her parents knew about their daughter.She had even lied about her name which only made my opinion of her worse than it was.“Isabella… this is my son, Luca” I introduced, taking a seat in front of Lucy and Luca taking his in front of her.I peeled my eyes from her, my head reeling with the most crazy thoughts.ISABELLAIt was pointless to sit up here and cry or to think that hiding would somehow make it all better.I had to speak with Agosti.I had to know what the fuck Luca meant by a diamond mine or if it was just the drunken words of a man.I raced down the stairs and to the party, my eyes darting around for Agosti. He was nowhere in sight and neither was Luca but I saw my father signaling me with the wine glass in his hand. I turned around, ignoring him completely and making my way to the study which was the only place I knew he could be.The door to the study was slightly open and I could hear voices coming from inside. No, it wasn’t exactly… it was more like moans.As I neared and placed one hand to the door and then an ear, I heard him and whoever he was going at it with.I took one step closer, tripping on my own dress and falling forward whilst trying to catch myself. A scream erupted from my lungs as I plunged head first into the study door, pushing it forward and tumbling inside.
AGOSTIFucking prick, I fumedIf he wasn’t my son, my fist would be buried in his damned face.I sighed, slamming it into the wall instead wincing at the pain that shoots up my arm.I turned around, staring at the broken vase on the floor. It weirdly explained my sorry state at the moment and I was infuriated at this silly feeling of helplessness.“Oh, you are here” Angelo approached me. “Your guests are waiting wondering what happened to the hosts and I am of the mind that that daughter of mine ought to receive some spanking for being such a terrible…”“Not right now, Angelo” I stopped him.I did not want to hear any of his rude and uncouth opinion about Isabella or he might bear the brunt of the wrath coursing through my veins.I walked away from him and back to the party and then I picked up the microphone, calling everyone’s attention to myself.“I am calling an end to the partying” I announced.There was protest from the guests.“We should leave the newly weds alone, don’t you th
ISABELLAMy smile cracked again for the umpteenth time but I maintained it. They wanted me to smile and I was going to.It was my wedding day after all.My father was standing with Agosti and they appeared in serious conversation. I did not doubt that it was about me.Agosti looked furiousWhat do I care? I asked myself.I was now officially the wife of his son.I could hardly feel the sting where I had been hit. Audrey had done a great job of covering it with makeup and so to everyone who was at the wedding, I was a beautiful and happy bride.“Are you okay, my love?” I heard Luca’s voice behind me.He grabbed my arm, drawing me closer to him and I was repulsed at the alcohol I could smell on his breath.“I am fine” I muttered, trying to free myself from his grasp.“Did you think about what I said?” He asked, whsipering into my ears.“What are you talking about?”His fingers tightened around my arm and I tried not to wince at the pain that shot up my spine.“You are here on your weddi
AGOSTI“You do know that it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, especially in her wedding dress” I stopped Luca who was headed in the direction of Isabella’s room.“I only want to check on her and who believes that superstitious nonsense.” He chuckled.He looked better this morning, in a much better mood than I have seen him in a while.“I will check on her for you, you should be heading to the church”“I would love Isabella to ride with me. Maybe she and I would get to talk about… you know everything that has happened in the last 72 hours and come to an agreement of a sort”“Like I said, son… badluck” I laughed when he rolled his eyes.“I will have her ride with her parents. You need to immediately be at the church so off you pop”He nodded, straightening his tie and then climbing down the stairs while I knocked softly on Isabella’s door.I pushed it open, my breath hitching in my lungs as I beheld her. I did not think she was created to walk this earth alongside us… a f
ISABELLAYou would think that with an event as drastic as my marriage that the skies might let out a downpour but no, not even a drizzle.When I opened my eyes the next day morning, the bright skies mocked me. I could almost hear her laughing at the futility of my request for a cloudy or dark day.I did not get up from the bed, I had no energy to. I laid there and stared at the bright light coming in from the windows until my eyes spurn and watered.“Isabella, thank God… I was so fucking worried” Audrey’s shrill voice interrupted my self pity.She rounded the side of the bed, stopping with her mouth agape.“What the fuck happened to your face?” She asked, her eyes clouding over in tears. “Did he hurt you? That fucking bastard”“You should have seen it yesterday” I smiled, raising my head a bit to look at her. “And he did not hurt me… one of the men who tried to abduct me yesterday hit me in the face so I could pass out” I explained“What an… he should be punished for doing this to you
AGOSTI“Which one of you bastards hit her?” I glared at the men in front of me.They had their heads bowed as they should because no sane man should lay a hand on any woman.I had called for them as soon as retreated from Isabella’s room. Santiago had sent only three men but somehow one of them had managed to be a complete imbecile.“I am not going to ask again so I suggest you all start fucking talking” I warned, slapping my gun to the table.I was glad that they all jolted, their eyes reaching the weapon and then themselves as if to urge whoever had hit Isabella to step forward immediately.It wasn’t long before one of the men stepped forward, his eyes on his shoe. He must have been the one that knocked her out and left the bruise on her beautiful face. I had asked them to retrieve her not beat her to one inch of her life.He did not seem remorse, merely perplexed as to why I was making a big deal out of how they handled someone who was trying to fuck my plans up as I am sure Santia
