"Be somebody nobody thought you could be."

~UNKNOWN

Some shuffling noises wake me up. I flutter my eyes open, the room is dark except for the light emitting from the bed side lamps, the feeling of this unfamiliar room hits hard. No doubt this bed is super soft but it's not the one I'm used to. I'm in a whole new country with strangers and apparently married.

By married, I remember, 'where is my husband?'

The shuffling continues, I plop up on my elbows and look towards the washroom, someone's in there. Is it Alessandro? The thought makes me nervous. "On" I command softly, the dark room fills with light, I vividly remember sleeping with the lights on. I look around the room, on the sofa lays his dress coat, the one he wore at our wedding. I stare at it for a moment. Should I leave it or hang it in the closet like a good wife? Mom would be proud if I did the latter. I have to win his trust, that means I have to go with the good wife route.

I sigh, stepping out of bed, I pick up his

  • The Agreement   64. Epilogue

    "With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come" ~ William Shakespeare 10 years later... Alessandro's POV: "We've come so far, haven't we?" Antonio says with a small satisfied smile as he closes the file I just signed. "Indeed, we have uncle" I agree, nodding my head slightly. "The business is flourishing, you're the first one in our generation to bring this family to where it stands today" he boosts proudly about my accomplishments. I'm well aware of how much he loves to talk about our mafioso being the most feared one in the world. I didn't stop him either knowing that there are only very few things that make this man genuinely feel happy. "I should get going, this file can't wait any longer and we don't have time to waste, time is money my boy!" He laughs, waving the file between us. He seems quite happy, my guess is that he finally killed the mole we found a few days ago. I remember him being in a foul mood because of the mole refusing to open his mouth. "See you at lunch" h

  • The Agreement   63. Mrs. Romano

    "After all, soulmates always end up together." ~Unknown "Aida." "Hmm?" I tilt my head upwards to have a better view of Alessandro, he's deep in thought while stroking my hair. "I want to name our daughter Aida." he places his hand above my slightly protruding stomach. "It means happiness." He kisses my forehead, explaining further. I chuckle at his words, "that is a beautiful name but how are you so sure that it's going to be a girl? What if it's a boy?" I ask curiously as I place my hand above his. This is pure bliss. Him, me and our baby. No problems, no lies, no past... Just us, our world. "If it is a boy, then we will make another one so it can be a girl" he gives a big smile as if he has it all figured out. I laugh heartily, "that's not how it works, what if the second one is also a boy?" I ask again, looking at him expectantly for his answer. "Then we'll try for another one, she will definitely be a girl" he grins, seeming satisfied by his words now. I quickly sit up m

  • The Agreement   62. Promise

    "The best time for new beginnings is now"~ UnknownWhat is this man up to?I cannot help but question myself as I hold out the beautiful dress in front of me. I inspect the delicate patterns that have managed to catch my breath, I was left baffled when I laid my eyes on this dress for the first time just a few moments ago.After we had our late lunch, Alessandro demanded that I go back to our room, as quoted by him, 'I have a surprise for you upstairs.' I was actually nervous about this 'surprise'. Since I have entered Alessandro's life, the surprises I have received from him— let's say they haven't been too pleasant. I couldn't help but think that maybe there was a long-lost sibling of Alessandro's, who has been found and is waiting for me in the room to be introduced.Just kidding! Or maybe not...But all of my doubts were proven wrong the minute I entered our room and my gaze landed on the beautiful dress. I was left speechless, Alessandro has never given me anything, not even duri

  • The Agreement   61. Waves

    "Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction"~ UnknownIt has been half an hour since the whole ordeal has transpired between us, I am now sitting on one of the comfy sofas. My mind is reeling all thoughts, but the most prominent of them is the concern for my parents, I have to ask Alessandro about how long is he planning to keep me here, and find a way to contact my parents.I still can't believe that he kidnapped me, I want to fight him so badly but I don't have the strength, getting a quick and straight answer from Alessandro is nearly impossible. How did I not see this? The way Alessandro has been possessive for me this was bound to happen. How could I possibly think that he was just going to sit idly and wait for me to contact him myself.I glance at the window, my eyes settle on a figure sitting comfortably on the sand near the sea shore, the waves come clashing forward but die down just as they near him. Looks like the sea is scared of him as well. I go upstairs

  • The Agreement   60. Prove yourself

    "I know my worth, I've paid dearly for every ounce of it" ~ Alfa "Oh my!" I let out a breathless whisper as my eyes rake over his sturdy chest, why does he look like a fine ass meal? And why am I so hungry all of a sudden!? I clench my hands beside me as my fingers itch to trace those fine lines accentuating each peck. This man was a walking god and he knew it. I hear him clearing his throat which quickly pulls me out of my incoming lusty thoughts, I gaze at Alessandro and find a cocky smirk etched on his stupidly handsome face. I missed this man so much! My subconscious sighs dreamily. Me too girl, me too. I agree with her. "Enjoying the view?" He asks in his deep voice while striding towards me, I melt at his accent but quickly compose myself. "Yes, the sea makes it more breathtaking but I would like to go home now" I shrug my shoulders looking around the beach house, I deliberately said that even though I knew what he was referring too. He chuckles shaking his head finding amus

  • The Agreement   59. Maturity

    "We've got to live, no matter how many skies are fallen" ~D. H. Lawrence "Tina was always the ugly sibling, look at this, her runny nose in this picture" Everett cackles, pointing at one of my pictures in which embarrassingly enough I do have a running nose. "No! I was the cute one. You resembled a grumpy grandpa when you were born. Dad tell him" I look at dad, giving him a 'please take my side' look. He looks at me nervously then back at Everett, I follow my gaze only to see Everett making the same face. Dad clears his throat, "none of you were ugly or resembled a grumpy grandpa, be-" both Everett and I groan, "–cause both were beautiful children, all thanks to me, your handsome father's genes" he points at himself proudly. Mom scoffs, rolling her eyes, we all chuckle at dad's expense. We are currently sitting around the center table in the living room, going over our old pictures. It's been 5 days since I came back, I feel like as if I have been freed but there is still somethi
