LOGINElena's POV'My head hurt as I slowly opened my eyes and felt the soft cushion beneath me. Startled, I quickly sat up on the bed and blinked a few times to get a better sense of my surroundings."Where the hell a-am I?"This bedroom doesn't look like mine then where am I? Then the nausea hit me hard, and I recalled the moment where I was kidnapped earlier.I looked at the balcony from where the ocean was visible. It was morning. My heart sank. It was night when I was dragged by Levi, but now it's morning."How long have I been here?"The thought made me sick to my stomach. I instantly remove the covers off me and check myself before sighing in relief. I was still in my clothes, which means it's been a day.Vincenzo must have gone crazy when he couldn't find me inside the mansion. I can't wait to meet him.Getting out of bed, I rushed towards the door but paused when it got opened, and he stood at the doorway with a food tray in his hand. I stumbled backwards when he went inside and ki
Vincenzo's POV'I've been seeing crimson since the moment I found my wife is missing. All I want to do right now is kill everyone in this house who failed their job of protecting my wife and I gladly did until Lorenzo fucking stopped me from acting on my impulsive thoughts.But I'm glad for the first because not only he stop me, but helped me plan something equal to what that fucking Levi did. I've Luna tied to the chair where she's still unconscious. I wouldn't have done it, but Levi left me no choice.If the fucker thinks only he could pull that stunt, then he has another thing coming. I checked the footage of my wife before she was kidnapped.My chest swelled with something I can't pinpoint when she hugged one of my shirts close to her chest. Which meant she was missing me. A smug expression returned to my face again when I recalled the scene again.Not for too long until she grabbed that stuff which could trigger her memory. I had known her since the moment I first saw her, and I
I had a nightmare again.The same little girl and boy, but this time the girl wasn't little anymore. The boy who gifted the girl a doll. The girl is named Anni. She returns it to the boy, but she's not little anymore. She was a teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes and pale skin.She somehow resembles me if I'm correct, but maybe it's my brain that is fooling me with the nightmare this time, or maybe it's a part of my memory that I've lost it. Who knows?I sat by the window and my eyes beamed with sorrow. It's been a week since we had that intimate sex and, to be honest, I thought that maybe it could change his silent treatment, or maybe he would treat me like before, but no.....He's back with his silent treatment, and somehow it hurts my heart so much that it started bleeding.Why is he doing that to me? Is he closing himself off from me? Is there really nothing left in our relationship since my last attempt to escape? There are so many questions running inside my brain, but there
"I'm not done yet. Roman drive Elena to the mansion."Roman, his first in command, took the car keys and was about to lead me towards the car, but before my husband could turn around to leave, I grabbed the hem of his blazer, stopping him in his track.I gulped, meeting his dark eyes which darkened upon meeting mine. Lorenzo left us, followed by Roman, leaving us all alone. He hasn't spoken to me since that night, and it's pissing me off.Even now, he spoke like I wasn't present there when he called out my name."What?"He asked in his stunned voice while removing my hand from his blazer. A shivered nearly at our skin contact, even if it was for a mere second.I missed his touch....being touched by him. "I want to go with you."I responded by gathering some courage. The power he has over me is too much to bear.I was at the point where his silent treatment was killing me. I expected him to say something, but instead he walked towards the exit. That was my cue to follow after him. His
My whole body filled with goosebumps. Never in my wildest dream could I imagine the horror Maria had been through. I was in utter shock.After Lorenzo left, he told me everything, which explained there was nothing romantic between my husband and her. My eyes almost watered when I realized his confession was real. He truly loves me.I could only imagine the pain she had been through before Vincenzo came to her rescue. Lorenzo told me that night when their car was passing through the alley, when they heard her silent cries. Her broken state which almost stabbed a knife in my heart.That's how they rescued her and came to know about years of torture she had endured. Vincenzo made the decision to take her under his protection.That explains her current state of being a maid, but she's protected because she's under Vincenzo and that's all that matters. The night explains her cries. She must have recalled one of her horror nightmares.I feel bad for her, but at the same time, respect fills
The next day, I was quietly sitting on the bed while the comforter covered half my bare legs. My tears felt sticky on my cheeks while I stared nowhere with a blank expression.Ripped clothes were scattered around, which made the whole room look messy. The coldness of the room hit my sensitive skin even though I was wearing nothing but his white shirt from last night....the only thing which wasn't ripped.My mind and body both ached. I couldn't wrap my brain around a single thought. Too much happened for which I wasn't ready for. He loved me, did he? Or was it because I ran away from him?Many questions pulled around my mind like a wave of a river, but suddenly there was a knock on the door before it opened, snapping me out of my daze.I instantly pulled the comforter over me when I saw Lorenzo enter the room. Embarrassment rushed over me when I recalled my current state. My hands shook a little under the duvet."Elena."He called out my name softly. I could almost feel the pity behind
