A Month Ago - The Wedding Day
Luciano
“Oh my goodness, my boy, you look just like your handsome grandfather,” It was grandmother’s voice that crossed my ears, she exclaimed in pure surprise. I turned around on one foot, finding her dressed in a formal grey dress, gloves, jewellery and a hat on her head. My lips turned into a charming smile. She was looking gorgeous. Grandmother walked inside the dressing room while I was tying my tie. I was almost done when she decided to completely tug it for me. I let her do the rest of the work.
She tugged it to its place, “Thank you, mother,” I whispered softly and bent to kiss her cheeks. After exchanging kisses, she pulled me into a strong hug, I held onto her back.
“Congratulations, my son. I’m so happy to see you happy,” She mumbled, pulling away. I nodded lightly. “I have never seen you smiling this often before, b

Now, that she was done. It was time to kiss the bride. The moment I was waiting for a long time. The priest announced that I may kiss her and as I stepped ahead, she gasped, her eyes exhibiting intimidation. I took her face in my palms and I leaned on her. She closed her eyes and loosened her lips and I followed her act.As I reached her lips, she put her hands on my chest and let me enjoy this moment. The applause was filling the air but all I could care about was I giving her the kiss of her life. Groomsmen hooted and claps were everywhere. Jennifer’s hand ascended to my hair and I deepened the kiss. I bent her over, having no intention to leave her but she tapped my head to let me know she was out of air and my father cleared his throat. I realised I had to leave her now, just for now.Tonight, there would be no pause between us.I pulled her straight, my hand rested on her back while we attended to everyone clapping for us. I side-gla

JenniferAh, my head. It still felt heavy due to heavy medications, I slowly opened my eyes and blinked before my focus adjusted on the ceiling. It was dawn, there was only a ray of faint sunlight crossing through the light curtains. I exhaled the breath tiredly, remembering how I ended up throwing up for the eighth time. Luciano immediately called doctor Malinda who reached the beach in fifteen minutes as if she was prepared for this. She prescribed me a few multivitamins, drips, and rest for three days. That all saved me from consummating my one-year marriage’s wedding night. I must thank the doctor. I would, someday. She was an angel in my hard times.Right now, I zoned back to reality, sensing a hand scooped around my stomach in a protective hold. It was none other than Luciano—my temporary husband—who happened to be sleeping beside me, utilizing the right of being my husband in every way possible. I sighed, thinking how would I e

He turned me around, I, facing him now. My eyes were on his naked broad chest that was smoother than my own skin as if no one touched him here, “Look at me,” He demanded yet I stayed stiffened. “Strawberry, I want your eyes on me,” Luciano pulled my chin upward yet my eyes were still on his chest. I was having butterflies in my stomach, he was irresistibly handsome apart from the facts he did to me. If I was a typical girl of my school, I would be drooling over him despite whatever he did to me. His lips were the most appealing feature in him, his eyes and jaw, please Jennifer stop.I had been telling myself not to fall for this man. I wouldbein love with him if I hadn't known he abused me.Moreover, my subconscious overwhelmed me saying he was my husband now and I had every right tosatisfy my wifely needs too. Though it felt wrong somewhere deep down in me. He forced me. I should keep it in my mind.“I

Luciano“Luciano… wake up, here are almost home,” It was my strawberry’s sixth call in her silky voice that was now mixed with agitation. I was waiting for her to call me ‘honey’, then I will open my eyes. I knew she said it by mistake but my heart did skip a beat when she said that.My face was buried in the crook of her neck and I was embracing her closely. She also had her arm snaking around me, securing me in her embrace.“Luciano, I know you’re up, stop acting with me. The captain is calling you,” I heard Martin coming in the cabin and requesting for my presence but I was being stubborn. She must have caught me smiling. I liked being a kid with her. At least now I could be my younger self with someone.“Not until you call me with that nickname you gave me this morning,” I insisted, sniffing her velvety scent and grunting calmly. God, this scent never fails to dr

“Did you divorce her? Is it true?” It was my grandmother who asked this question.“Yes, I did, grandmother. She wasn’t needed anymore,” I turned my eyes to her and glanced at Jennifer, I could sense the tightness in her chest. She gets bothered by Sofia’s mention and I tried to keep it as short as possible."I'm just asking, you didn't make it official," Yes, because hadn't got any news from my lawyerif she signed the paper too.Natasha wobbled, taking a deep sigh and rubbing her doe eyes.“Everything’s going to be fine, Natasha, I’m here now,” Jennifer motived Natasha. My heart moved, Mrs. Bernardi finally chose to play her role—even though I knew it was not by heart but at least, she was trying and that’s enough.Natasha smiled and got up to hug her. “Thank you for being in our lives, we cherish you,” She whispered and Jennifer chuckled gracefull

JenniferI was dampened in sweat. My hands were badly shivering. I was tangled with ropes. As soon as I began gaining consciousness, my anxiety started to kick in. I felt like screaming but my words didn’t make a sound, it was all in my head. I kept begging for help but nothing occurred to make me feel safe. Where was Luciano? Security? Anyone? We only went to take a picture up in the hills.But suddenly…My breathing was short and heavy. The scene hit my chest like a gunshot. I could recall a hand covering me from behind and I lost to unconsciousness before I could repel the grip due to chloroform. Before giving in, I saw Natasha struggling with the same.And now, I was here, to some unknown place—with or without Natasha. I inwardly prayed for her wellbeing. I wished I could open my eyes and look around my whereabouts. Even if I did, there was nothing but utter blackness.No, this wasn’t

His hand reached my covered breast while his mouth moved to the left side of my collarbone. He squeezed me and bit my skin, I screamed in agitation. Natasha whimpered helplessly. I shut my eyes, preventing tears to shed but they escaped me. “Get away from me,” I tried to move my hands but failed to stop.As he was about to unclip my bra. We heard four gunshots consecutively. It was a shootout occurring near, this was a sign someone came for our help and it could only be Luciano. He was here, the anxiety level dropped a little. The guy turned to Sofia.She ran to pick guns as the gunshots’ sound became louder. “He is coming here,” The guy said and my heart was jumping in delirium. I never imagined I would ever feel this happy withLuciano’s presence.After the loudest gunshot, the door banged open, splitting in halves. Sofia and her brother moved behind me and Natasha who was on my left.But

LucianoI fetched my phone from my breast-pocket, dialling Charles’ number. He picked on the first ring. “Good evening, Charles speaking,what can I help you with?" He asked as the line connected."This is Bernardi..." I informed. He must have recognised by now which Bernardi he was speaking with. Myvoice was enough."Master?" The tone changed."Yes, Luciano Bernardi," I further made it easy for him."It has been long hearing from you. I thought you left it all behind..." He spoke without giving any thinking first.When I gave him silence, he realised the embarrassment. His tongue stopped working for seconds,"I'm sorry.Are you looking for any reservations?" He asked.“Yes, I would like to make a dinner reservation for sixty-seven,” I informed him, nonchalantly. Dinner reservation meant asking for the disposal of dead bodies. Mario counted the corpse that died in the
