บททั้งหมดของ A Bride For The Don: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

JADEI woke up with a yawn, stretching my hands lazily on the bed. I had slept way too early yesterday. How could I not? I was too petrified to speak to Luciano especially after discovering that horrific note placed on his desk.And Luciano did not notice either because immediately after dinner, he left for his study room.My eyes wandered towards Luciano's sleeping profile on the bed.When did he join me on the bed? I guess I must have really slept off. Luciano slept so soundly, like he did not even have a single worry in the world.There were no worried lines etched across his temples and his breathing was calm and soothing. I found it hard to believe that some one was after his life. Has the police being informed about this threat too? I will have to speak to him concerning this issue.I heaved a deep sigh and stared at Luciano the more.This man was truly very handsome. I observed his dark silky hairs which were ruffled up, my hands gradually reached for his hair strands at its

JADE I sat in the dinner hall in expectation of Luciano. It had actually become a custom for both of us to eat together on the days he did not zoom off to work early. I still could not believe I wasted my priceless energy in going to that gathering only to be labelled a villain and have multiple accusations thrown my way.What sort of mother does that? That was an unfair judgement that she passed. She said it herself that she favoured Aurora the most. Was that not partial of her?Luciano is her son too and she ought to listen to both sides with discernment. Or was it because Luciano is not her biological son?A feeling of pain washed over me. Was this how Luciano grew up? Always sidelined and judged unfairly in every argument with his brothers? His childhood must have been very lonely after the death of his mother.And he does not speak about his father alot. I guess he is not close to him.I could honestly begin to feel the lonely void Luciano must have had to cope with grow

JADE"They loved it. Yesterday was a real success" I giggled to my ladies, as the three of them sat around me in the living room."I honestly prayed within myself that nothing should go wrong. I know how much you wanted to impress everyone especially Signora Gabriela" Jane said to me.The others concurred with a nod. "She can be quite hard to deal with at times. I have seen that first hand. But I am just glad she loved my food. Everything went on so smoothly. I never even knew my parents could be so friendly with the Grecos considering the situations surrounding my marraige" I sighed.Suddenly the door to the living room flew open and Mother walked in briskly with a bevy of ladies behind her."Oh mother.." I quickly stood to my feet and so did my maids. Her arrival had halted our discussion.I wonder what brought her here."It is such an honour to have you here. You did not inform me that you would love to see me. I would have taken the liberty to go to your house instead of you comin

JADE"Have you seen your husband lately?" Elisa asked me. We both sat on one of the benches deposited around the garden of my home. She came over for a visit and I was more than happy to get her company. It has been awfully lonely around here whenever Luciano was not around. Only my maids kept me company but sometimes they were so busy and I hate distracting them from their work."Not really. It has been like two days now. I hardly see him these days. I think he is so busy with work. He comes back very late and leaves very early in the morning. I kind off miss him" I replied shifting in my seat.Elisa sighed and gave me a sorry look. "I heard the brothers had a fight""Really? What brought it up? I never knew. Luciano never informed me" I replied, shocked.Another fight again? All these discrepancies and fights were getting too much."We really can not get a moment of peace in this family can we?" I rhetorically added, chortling a bit."I doubt. Probably Luciano does not want to bo

JADE The whind howled against my ears, pushing my hairs across my face as I sat in the balcony. Thunder rumbled in the sky with the wind getting fiercer signalling a very heavy storm. I just wanted to enjoy and relinquish the beautiful fill of nature before going down to bed. It has been a week already since I had that terrible confrontation with Raffaele.Luciano was not yet back yet and I had grown accustomed to his late returns from work. It no longer bugged me though I was still a tad worried. But him always been not around gave me time to snoop around the house as to a clue on what job he is into.But I have been unsuccessful. The maids and staffs won't tell me anything but I know they know things which I do not.Apart from that, I was also experiencing an inner trouble myself. My mind was in turmoil as to if I should tell Luciano about Raffaele's threats on having me or keep them within myself. I do not want to be the cause of yet another fight. I am tired of being labe
