Days following Darren's departure was like hell. It seemed like the bond between us had broken and his distance didn't help matters.

The house felt so lonely and boring, even though the staff tried cheering me up by entertaining me. The usual coldness of the house when I arrived for the first time, returned.

Everyday, as I got down the stairs, my footsteps echoed through the house.

Darren had texted me a million times. Called me an unthinkable number of times, but I didn't respond to any of them.

His messages included apologies for leaving without first informing me, reasons he left, which I didn't quite understand.

Bruno, who I had wanted to ask what he was doing in Italy, had already left to meet Darren in Italy.

I woke up one night feeling distressed. The rain tapped lightly on the window. Although the window was shut tightly, I still felt cold.

I swept my legs down from the bed and went to stand by the window. The rain painted the street wet. I shifted the curtain a

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 22(Shot)

    Darkness.That was all I saw. That was all I felt. A suffocating, endless darkness.The bag over my head made it hard to breathe. I couldn’t scream, couldn’t cry…my voice got caught in my throat, strangled by fear and confusion.Coming to Italy was the worst mistake I had ever made my whole life.How could I have been so stupid and foolish? Thinking about it now, it didn't make any sense at all.How could I rush off to another country, on another continent, just because of a phone call, which I didn't even know was a scam call? Now my life was in danger and not a single soul would know where I was or how I died…or even where my head body was.That thought alone made cold shivers run down my spine.In less than a month, I had been kidnapped twice. The last kidnap wasn't intent on hurting me, but this one, I didn't know how lenient they were or who sent them.Rough hands shoved me forward. I stumbled, nearly falling. I could hear footsteps, multiple, maybe three, four?, surrounding me,

    I turned in bed and reached out to the other side of the bed where Darren laid, only to discover it was empty.I scratched the back of my head. I didn't like it in the movies whenever after a passionate night, the woman wakes up to an empty bed.I looked around to check if he was in the room, but he wasn't. I listened carefully to hear the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, but I didn't hear anything. He wasn't in the room. I was disappointed.I threw my legs down from the bed, put on my slippers and made for the bathroom. I had already placed my hand on the bathroom door knob, when I heard the door of my room click.I quickly left the bathroom door and scampered my way around and jumped back into the bed. I landed roughly on my left hand and it hurt really bad.I pretended to be asleep. I knew it was Darren coming in. He was the only one with the full authorization to enter my room without knocking. The door creaked open slowly and closed with a loud bang.I heard Darren his

    “Please wolf, since our second meeting, it's like you became a whole different person…someone I don't know” I saw an emotion flash in his eyes when I said that. It was guilt. “Please, I don't want you getting hurt” my voice was low when I said that. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it again. I could still see the rage in his eyes and honestly, I had never seen him that way before. My hand was still on his arm. I let it fall to my side before coming closer to him and embracing him. He didn't reciprocate the hug and I totally understood it. One of my hands went around his neck while my other hand rocked the back of his head. I tapped on his head lightly in a bid to calm him. I could feel his breath on my neck. I understood why he was acting that way. He knew how bad my family had treated and all the privileges they had denied me…but I didn't want him to act rashly or get himself hurt. “If anything is to happen to you, I won't be able to forgive myself” I said while h

    “I advice you not to attempt what you have in mind, if you value your life” I trembled in fear as soon as I heard that. There was someone in that room with me and he had been watching me all this while. How did I get here? It suddenly kicked. The juice. I began feeling dizzy after taking the juice. The junior staff must have been used to get to me, knowing that I had a relationship with her. “Who…who are you” I managed to ask despite my fear. “We're who you think we are” another voice said. We? So, it wasn't just one person? The lights turned on immediately and I squinted my eyes due to it's brightness. It was a small empty room. There were four men in the room with me. Each putting on a black mask. Having untied my hands, I searched for my phone. Oh no! My phone was in my bag and I couldn't find my bag. “What do you want?” I asked in a commanding tone. I tried masking my fear so they won't intimidate me or use it against me. “What we always want…money” one

    “We'll blow your secret,” Aria said with a wicked grin.I just stared at her. Her grin grew and was reaching her eyes. What secret of mine was she aware of? I didn’t even have any secrets.She was just bluffing. I looked away from her and looked at my parents.“We need a thousand dollars,” my father repeated.“You're married to a billionaire, you should have gotten some money from him” my mom chipped in.She was a hypocrite. She was neither hot nor cold. She didn't support me but also didn't stand against me. She supported me in my father's absence and supported my dad whenever he was around.What did they think of me? As someone who would go about begging her husband for money or were they expecting me to…steal from him?“What for?” I asked even though I knew I wasn't going to give them any money.“The company is going bankrupt,” my father said harshly. “Besides, all these questions doesn't matter, just send the money right away” That explains why they needed a thousand dollars.
