She was scared the dark side of his life would chew her up. She couldn't do anything against her husband. She wanted to sue him for marrying a second woman. She didn't know him if she thought she knew.
Footsteps pounded behind her, breaking the rail of her thoughts. Alessandro's guards, who she hardly saw around, scanned the area.
"I haven't set a bomb around," She rolled her eyes.
All looked at her with huge eyes. The leader cleared his throat, "Ma'am,"
She arched her brows at him, "You people are just disturbing me, ruining my peace." She purses her lips.
"Boss ordered us to pack his luggage." The leader said,
Her heart dropped. She knew what he meant by packing,
She took a slow and shallow breath as she opened her eyes. She stared around the unfamiliar room. But she wanted to call it a giant hall. Everything in it was white or made of glass. Her heart was racing in her ribcage. She blinked many times, recalling her last intersection with her husband. Fury burnt through her, "How dare him..." She bared her teeth and placed her feet on the white thick carpet. She walked over to the glass wall. A gasp left her lips as she glanced out. A vast seat welcomed her. Everything was blue with a clear sky. The sun was gleaming making the water shimmer. She smiled, looking at the beautiful view. Her anger vanished.
He fastened the cufflinks. He smiled at her. She shifted on her feet, blushing. Her skirt was touching her mid-thighs. Her full sleeves white top was hugging her body and the round neckline showed her collar bones. The smile was reaching his gaze but she couldn't ignore the darkness over his features, "I'll be late. Don't wait for me for dinner. The meeting is going to last longer, " He said as he put on his black coat. She batted her lashes, "What if I wanna eat with you?" She asked, "You heard me, my love." His jaw slightly moved, getting tight, "You can go out to shop." He said. Sadness engulfed her. She cast her head low and nodded like a child. He gripped her chin softly between his fingers, "So, it's a business trip." She wrinkled her lips. "Not
She hurriedly typed a message to her husband. Though there was no signal. She was hoping it would be received later. Tears blurred the sight. The door flew open making her jump. Nico and Bianca stepped in, draped into a white bathrobe. Bianca threw a hateful look in her way, She stepped back in fear. Bianca smiled evilly, "I always want to see fear in your eyes. " Bianca took a step forward. "Stay away from me, you filthy people." She snapped. "Just finished her so we could finish what we started before her interruption." Bianca snapped, glaring at her. She glared back. She didn't want to die giving her satisfaction. Nico stepped forward. She took a step back, "Ales will kill you. If you dare to come near me. He'll find out everything." She snapped at him. She pushed her fear away, gathe
She was glancing out of the window with half opened eyes. She wanted him to ask to go home instead of his father's house. 'I would have never done this to them. I was sure they would try to kill me when I saw the look in their eyes after fear. They're crazy and cruel people.' " We're home, my love." His saccharine voice drew her attention. She closed her eyes and placed her head on his shoulder, "Can we go home, Ales? Our home?" She asked. She perceived his lips pressing on her head, "Open your eyes," He asked tenderly. Unfurling, she glanced into his beautiful eyes and then drifted out of the window. Her lips parted into a huge grin when she saw his penthouse's building. Enthusiastically, she opened the door and interl
Her eyes flung open when she heard someone rapping on the door. She blinked her eyes and her attention flocked to the door. Pushing herself up, she drifted toward the door. The door creaked open before she could open. Matteo emerged from behind the door. "Hi," He smirked, charmingly, looking at her from behind the door. Her lips twitched up. It made her forget her husband's cruelty, "Hi, when did you come?" She asked, hurrying her steps to the door. He kissed her cheek and stared at her with slightly furrowed brows, "Don't make yourself a target," He said, Pocketing his hand. She shook her head, glancing behind him tilting her head. Her gaze met his intense gaze, "I don't know. what are you saying?" She muttered, straightenin
The broad door led her deep into the penthouse. She hadn't been to this part of the house. But she was glad to be back here instead of his father's house. She didn't want to know. What would be going on in Giovanni and Elizabeth's minds? She stared at the grass, sitting behind the glass wall. The cool air was sending shivers down her spine. She turned off the AC. The thought of being locked with Nico and Bianca sent shivers down her spine again. But it was scary this time. She was having difficulty seeping into the reality of her husband. She ran her fingers in her hair, trying to think about her hair, make up, and new dresses. 'I can't call Emlyn. She won't object to it. I don't need to ask. I can tell. She knows - Who are they? What do they do for a living or I should say power? More than food on their plates. It seems - Who is empowering the world wi
Her gaze caught the cocktail diamond rings and golden bangles. Her cheeks turned red with shyness. She lowered her gaze to hide the colors. "We're trying," Alessandro's reply shocked her more. She felt tingles in her body. Elizabeth smiled, "I'm baptising them," "Of course, grandma," Alessandro said. "Dad is seeking for you," Matteo said, frowning. "Be a gentleman, Matteo," Elizabeth said, smiling. Matteo kissed her cheek, "How are you, sister-in-law?" "Good," She smiled. Matteo rolled his eyes at Elizabeth and held out his hand for her. Rapturously, Elizabeth wrapped her arm around his and Matteo led her to the dance floor. "Genuinely, I didn't expect this from Elizabeth, particularly for me, she smiled at me. She di
Panic clawed her as her eyes snapped open. Her thoughts were girthed with fear that he would know that she tried to run away and worse - He'd think she tried to escape with Diego asking for his help. Her chin began to quiver. Her eyes turned glassy. She held her breath and peeked around. She let out a huge breath. Stepped out of the bed, she stumbled toward the door. Her trembling hand reached for the door, "There are guards outside," She recognized her voice. She spun and breathed out slowly, seeing Emlyn, "I'm not running. Where's Ales? I need to talk to him." She said in a groggy voice. Her grip was tightened on the doorknob. Emlyn rushed at her exasperatedly, stopping at her face, "You know what he can do to our family," she snarled. "He won't do anything," She snapped, letting go of her grip. Her knees wobbled.&n
