07|Gone Too Far.

For a moment, my brain shuts down.

“Are you still there?" Her curt question snaps me back.

I blink. “Um, yeah- i am here." My hand tightens on the phone, forcing a smile on my face, I respond. “I am in Italy Mom, have you forgotten about the Air programme?"

I can imagine the furrow on her full brows. “Oh. I didn't know about that."

My smile falls. I had begged my parents for a whole year before they allowed me on this trip and now she doesn't even remember?

" Um. Did you want something?“ She never calls unless she needs me to do something or she wants to express her disappointment.

"Valerie is currently in Italy, I want you to meet with her and convince her to return home."

“Mom... You know that's impossible."

“Why? You made her leave the house but you can't bring her back? Have you forgotten whose husband you are married to?"

“Mom, can we not-"

“No, you should st

  • Tempted By My Uncle In-law    09| An unexpected gift.

    09| An unexpected gift.I stand at the tip of the bed, brows pressed together in annoyance, or is it frustration? I really shouldn't be doing this, I should be staying às far away from him as I can. “Let's just get today over with." I mutter, walking over to the walk-in closet to rummage through it. I will need something to wear to the stupid party. If only Briana was here, she's the one who picks up my clothes for me. ' I wonder how she is.' I just hope the people after me haven't gone after her. To be honest, it was stupid of me to insult or fight with Valentino, and it was more stupid of me to come here or get myself in this mess, but here I am— there's no escape.I can't seem to find the right clothes, no matter how hard I try. After a while of contemplating, I decide to sit it out. It's not like it's that important anyway. What help can a stupid event do for me when my life is still hanging by a thread?So I sit on the bed, gaze fixed on the floor. My thoughts drift back to M

  • Tempted By My Uncle In-law    08| Still Being Haunted.

    08| Still Being Haunted. I get my answer when Valentino glowers at me, gaze heavy and icy. Yes, yes I have gone too far, yet I can't relent, not now. So I square my shoulders, ignoring the thundering of my heart on my chest. With a gulp, I continue with my verbal assault. “I said that my husband isn't like the likes of you. I know it was you who shot him, you wanted him dead so you could have the empire to yourself. Killing your father wasn't enough for you, now you want me? Just how many life must you ruin before you stop?“ The moment I am done speaking do I realize what I have said, my lips parts in a soft gasp. The room temperature drops, the air shifts. Valentino goes rigid, his gaze sharpens, only then do I remember that I have actually spoken carelessly to a Mafia don. My heart begins to thump in my chest and I begin to dread what's to come. Valentino steps closer, making me take a step back. “W-well, I didn't mean it like-" my back collides with the table edg

  • Tempted By My Uncle In-law    06| I Don't Want You.

    06|I Don't Want You. A gasp tears out my lips as he squeezes my neck from behind. My back connects with the wall, and he leans in closer, lips connecting with my neck. I bite back a moan when he nibbles on the skin, while caressing my waist. He moves my hand to his neck, pulling him closer. “You smell so damn good." He mutters, sucking on the spot beneath my jaw. My lips part softly, feeling myself lose control. “We..." My words are interrupted with a shrill sound that reverberates through the room, Valentino lets out a groan, finally releasing me. I stay like that, cheat heaving up and down, while he heads to the bed where his phone is continuously ringing. “What?!" He demands the moment he picks the call.Valentino runs his hand through his hair at whatever the person just said, then he walks out of the room, while speaking rapidly in Italian, almost so fast that I only catch. “Burn the cargo-” then he's out. My eyes close.Now reeling on the thought of what I have just done.I

  • Tempted By My Uncle In-law    05| Ever Been This Right

    05|Ever been this right.~~~~ Valentino cups the back of my neck, pulling me closer in a motion, his eyes whisper on my whole face, lingering on my lips. “ I can make you stay, but I won't.” He states. “ I want it to be your choice, I want you to want to stay.” He squeezes and I throb with need. “Be a good girl for me, Purple, stay until the party.” His lips press on my temple, I almost melt at the physical touch. “ I will let you go after that.” his lips press to the spot under my ear.I gasp, feeling like I am under a spell. “What's in it for me?” I look into his eyes. “ Your safety.” “If I go to this… party with you, will I be able to return to America safely?” “Yes.” “ I will need some time to think about it.” Valentino releases me, only then does my breathing return to normal. “I will be in my office if you need me.”I watch his back as he leaves, breath still heavy, tigh still pressed together. My ankle still hurts, reminding me that even if I intended to leave soon, it

  • Tempted By My Uncle In-law    04| Options

    04|Options.~~~~ My shoulders relax, atleast i am not being attacked by an assassin. “I am um… I am Amber.” I introduce myself, turning my back to her so I can close the refrigerator. The woman relaxes. “Oh, hey Amber. I am Viola.” She puts down her frying pan. “ Sorry for this, I presumed you would be asleep till I leave.” Her voice is thick with her accent, raven hair packed in a bun, she isn't dressed like a maid, in fact, she looks like the lady of the house.I lean against the refrigerator, the cold seeping into my skin, reminding me of the fact that I am still in my thin nightgown, and that I had almost died just earlier today.“Oh my, I can't believe he left you all by yourself.” Her eyes widen when I limp towards the counter.“ah, it's nothing, I just sprained my ankle, it should be back to normal by tomorrow.” I inform Viola.“Oh, you silly girl, you can barely walk a step without support, how is this any good from using a crutch.” She wraps her hand around my waist. “Here,
