Azalea“How dare you!” The words came out of my mouth with a scream. My chest heaved rapidly as I stared at him, watching the last pieces of my pride fall apart at his feet. “How dare you say that to me?”He was breaking me apart, piece by piece. He was taking away every small bit of happiness I had left in this prison he called our marriage.“You and I both know I was telling the truth, honey,” he said with a smile that sent a chill down my spine.“You are ugly. You are worthless. You should be grateful—no, you should feel blessed—that I chose to marry you.” His eyes looked at my body like I was already dead. I felt myself shrinking under his disgusted stare. “If I hadn’t done that—”“If you hadn’t done what!”My voice cracked as I screamed. I was desperate and terrified. I couldn’t let him finish that sentence. I couldn’t bear to hear whatever horrible thing he was about to say.“No one wants an ugly woman as a wife,” he spat back at me with venom in his voice. “Remember this in you

Azalea“Not yet,” she replied, helping me stand up. “He’s waiting for you in the dining room.”My stomach twisted. More time with him meant more chances for him to hurt me with his words.“Waiting for me?”“Yes, ma’am,” Mica said. “We should go.”Mica led me through the house. The servants we passed smiled and said I looked pretty, but their words felt hollow after what Adriano had said.“We’re here,” Mica announced, stopping at the entrance to the dining room. “Master is right there.”She pointed, but then stepped back. “No one is allowed to approach him while he’s eating.”“You’re here,” his deep voice made me shiver with fear. He didn’t look up from his food; he just kept eating like I didn’t matter. “Sit.”I sat as far away from him as I could. If I could have stopped breathing the same air as him, I would have.“Come sit here,” he commanded, finally looking up at me. His eyes studied my face for a long moment. “You look... different.”Different. Not pretty, not beautiful. Just di

Azalea“Good morning, darling,” I heard the voice greet again.I opened my eyes slowly, my heart already racing. There he was—Adriano, standing by the window, watching me with those cold, empty eyes.“What are you doing here?” I whispered, pulling myself up in bed. My hands shook as I gripped the sheets. The morning sun felt warm on my face, but his presence made everything cold.He laughed, but there was no warmth in it. “What am I doing here? This is my house, remember? You seem to forget that a lot.”Of course. This wasn’t my home. This would never be my home. I was just a prisoner here, trapped by a contract I never wanted to sign.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.“You should be.” He walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs like he owned the world. “You’re coming with me to a ball tonight.”My stomach dropped. “A ball? Those are for rich people, important people. Not someone like me.”“You became important the day you signed that contract.” His smile was cruel, sharp enoug

AzaleaHe led me outside. Four bodyguards dressed in black were waiting for us.“Good evening, sir,” they all said, bowing their heads.Adriano helped me into the car, then got in beside me. Through the window, I watched in horror as the bodyguards poured gasoline all over the house.Within seconds, flames shot up into the sky. The house was burning as we drove away, destroying all evidence of what had happened.“Where are you taking me?” I asked, my voice small and scared.“Don’t ask questions,” he replied, closing his eyes. “Knowing too much can get you killed.”I immediately went silent. The threat in his voice was clear. The car was quiet except for the sound of the engine as Matteo drove.I looked back one last time at the burning house disappearing behind the trees. Soon we were back in the busy city, with people walking around like nothing had happened.“Where are we going now?” I asked again as we started leaving the city behind.“Shut your mouth,” Adriano yelled at me. “Stop

Azalea“Starting today, you belong to me,” he said. His voice felt cold and distant, even though he stood so close I could feel his breath. My heart pounded with terror. “Remember my name. I am Adriano Rion Giordani. I’m your husband now. And I’m also your master.”“Yes,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I will remember.”“Why are you still on the floor?” he asked sharply.I scrambled to my feet, my legs shaking. Adriano grabbed my hand roughly, his fingers digging into my skin.“It hurts!” I cried out, tears stinging my eyes. “Please, you’re hurting me!”“Where does it hurt?” His voice suddenly turned gentle and calm. I stared at him in shock. Was this the same man who had just killed his girlfriend? How could he sound so caring now?“Here,” I said, showing him my wounded hand.“You’re bleeding,” he muttered softly. “Wait here. I’ll be right back.”He helped me sit on the sofa, his touch surprisingly gentle. But as soon as he left, my eyes found Erica’s lifeless body on the flo

Adriano“What the hell is going on here?” I yelled, my voice echoing through the house. My heart was pounding hard in my chest as I stared at the mess in front of me. “Are you seriously fighting in my house?”The sight made my blood boil. Both women looked like they had been in a real battle. This was my house. My rules. And someone had broken them.“You’re back,” Erica said, trying to stand up. Her hair was messy and her clothes were torn. She looked like she had been through hell.“Do you care to explain why you are fighting with your patient, Erica?” I questioned, my eyes shooting daggers at her. The anger inside me was growing bigger and bigger.“It isn’t like that,” she answered quickly. Her voice was shaking. “She caused it.”“How?” I walked towards the sofa slowly. I sat down and crossed my legs, trying to look calm. But inside, I was burning with rage. “Tell me exactly what happened.”“I wanted to check her wound, but she refused,” Erica said. Her words came out fast, like she
