Asher knocks twice on the door. Quickly, a deep and slightly husky voice gives him permission to come in. He opens it quietly. The night is silent, and a full moon adorns the bright sky. Sitting near the window, Mr. Reviello is staring at the horizon with a glass of scotch in hand. The floaty breeze sways his dark hair. The white shirt on is crumpled, with four buttons open in the chest. His expression remains indecipherable, as do his empty hazel eyes. Asher closes the door behind him and walks across the room. Reviello has not looked at Asher yet. “Shouldn't you be enjoying the party?” Reviello asks, without taking his eyes off the city lights. “You should be there... it cost me a small fortune, after all.” “Giovanni...” Asher sighs. “You know your family won't like to hear that you suddenly got married and didn't call them to the ceremony. Especially when it comes to a bride they didn't choose.” “What makes you think I care what they think, Asher?” Giovanni Reviello finally se
Yes, the presidential suite is incredible. However, the size of the room only accentuates her loneliness. She stripped off her dress alone. Her only company were two security guards who were outside the room. Eleonor buried herself in the silk sheets and allowed the tears to roll down her face after she undressed. She felt an intense tightness in her chest. A difficult, painful feeling to describe. She's so disappointed. She shouldn't have thought for a second that she could find a home in such a situation. How could anything good come out of all this, after all? Her father sold her out. Her mother hates her, despite her efforts to be loved. Josh betrayed her. And now her husband is a heartless man. Emily remains the only person in the world who deserves her heart. That is why, despite all the sadness, Eleonor remains firm in her conviction that she had done the right thing. She's doomed to a lonely, loveless, and dangerous marriage, but at least her sister will be safe and happy. T
The plane is landing at the airport in Florence as the sun sets. The city lights are already starting to come on, which will make the capital of Italy's Tuscan region even more beautiful. As they drive through the streets of the city, Eleonor sees the buildings with Renaissance architecture and is amazed by the scenery. The city is incredibly beautiful. The historic buildings are truly impressive. Something in her chest warms up when she sees the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. She has never seen a church as beautiful as that. There is no doubt that it's the most beautiful place ever. Eventually, her eyes find the Palazzo Vecchio. And as the car approaches the streets, she also sees the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River, which are reflecting the shades of the sunset in their waters. Indeed, a breathtaking place. Before long, the tourist part is left behind. They move on to a higher and distant part of town, where they find a more wooded area with trees and flowers that look like aut
Eleonor opens her eyes in the morning, listening to the birds singing. Even though she was in a new place, and it was her first night at the villa, it was one of the best nights of her life. She slept deeply. Her usually light sleep did not falter for an instant that night. The mattress is very comfortable and inviting. This is something she would easily get used to. She doesn't know when they'll come for her, so she gets up quickly. It's almost seven o'clock. She finds it easy to wake up early. Her mother always said that people who wake up late are lazy. Eleonor would do anything she could to avoid her mother's wrath. Even though it's not necessary anymore, habits are hard to give up. She takes another bath in the morning and goes to the other room of her quarters, the closet. All the shelves are full of clothes, just as she imagined. Most of the clothes are dresses and skirts. It appears that the Reviello dress code prefers them. She looks at an elegant autumn dress. The dress f
Time seems to fly by. When she arrived at the Reviello mansion, she had brought in her luggage countless uncertainties and fears. As the months went by, these doubts were dissipated. Two years later, Florence really felt like home to her. Every employee, every corner of the property, has become familiar to her.Domenico is always willing to help her. Francesca treats her as if she were her daughter. On rare occasions, Marco appears to entertain her. Asher, however, left a month after her arrival and never returned. Throughout all this time, Eleonor has not met her husband. Not that she care about it. She put aside some feelings, and others grew in their place. It was inevitable to develop a deep hatred for the man who left her at the altar and didn't even show his face to her. She doesn't even know the sound of his voice. If it weren't for the huge diamond weighing her finger, she would forget that she's married. Florence isn't Florence of Reviello anymore. The mansion is no longer
Somehow, Reviello really listened to Lisette. Even though Eleonor hates to confess it to herself, that fact hurt her, after all, her husband didn't care to even meet her, but he easily accepted what another woman said. There's no reason to be angry at Lisette for that, of course. Even though they're married, it's just a stupid contract. Eleonor wouldn't get upset with her best — only — friend because of a man who wasn't able to take his own vows. But Lisette was able to convince him, that's for sure. Eleonor and her friend left for Milan earlier that day on Reviello's private plane. They booked a hotel that is known as the best and most luxurious in Milan. Undeniably, they lived up to their reputation. They pretend to use those days away from home to relax and have fun as much as they could. Like Florence, Milan is also a breathtaking city. There's a part of the city that has classical architecture, but There's also a modern area with skyscrapers that is full of offices of very famou
Eleonor is contemplating her own reflection. The black satin dress she has chosen fits perfectly into the curves of her body, enhancing its beauty. It opens into a large slit in the right leg, which reveals a considerable part of her thigh. It's braided and has a low neckline. On her neck is a delicately diamond necklace. Among the long, curly blond hair, diamond earrings also stood out. The light makeup accentuates the beauty of her green eyes that looked like emeralds. She's simply stunning. When Lisette appears in her room, her mouth drops open in surprise. “You look sensational, Gosh. If you weren't married, I would certainly take you!” She says playfully. Eleonor gives a soft laugh and looks at her friend, who also looks fascinating in a bolder dress. It's also black, but very shiny. It's thigh-high and slit at the sides. Her brown hair, pinned up high, even though it's falling to her shoulders, does not hide her bare back. She has a set of rubies on her neck and ears, highligh
It's important not to underestimate the power that several spritzes, and a charming man can do in the body. Eleonor thought everything was under control until she felt Giovanni's perfume so close, more intoxicate than alcohol itself. Everything was in control indeed, until she felt his firm hands occasionally touching her leg and hips... until felt the fabric of his shirt rubbing against her arm's skin, sending shivers along her whole body. Giovanni definitely knows how to win a woman's interest, and certainly, knows how to get her into bed, craving for his touch. She couldn't understand how this man had aroused her interest or was able to make she feels so horny. Absolutely, she was unable to understand the effect he had on her body. It's not like she's a thirsty woman. She had never felt this way before with Josh, the only man she had ever taken. Usually, she has zero interesting in sex. Her orgasms are so tasteless. Eleonor is intoxicated with alcohol, but much more with desire w
