Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Bride For The Don: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

JADE My eyes fluttered open as I slowly stirred up from my slumber. The bright rays of the sun filtered in through the satin curtain of the room, feeling the room with their warmth. I yawned lazily and my eyes wandered down to the pillow I had laid on. I had cried myself to sleep last night.Luciano completely ignored me and went with another woman to have fun in God knows where.I doubt he came back home last night.He must be really enjoying himself.He did not even have the decency to ask one of his men to take me back home. Worst of all my feelings weren't even considered at all. Is that how much I mean to him?A migraine throbbed at the back of my head like a construction site was undergoing work on my head. Sitting on my bed and sulking all day won't help me in any way.I need to do something with my day at least so I can forget about all these. If Luciano does not mind unwinding himself by hanging out with another woman apart from me then I should probably do the same.I curs

LUCIANO One week later We both did not want to be here. Infact I especially wanted to be anywhere but here. But my hands were tied. Jade had made up her mind concerning my marriage to Valerie. I have tried and tried to talk her out of it but she still was unwavering in her decision to get me married to Valerie.What had come over Jade? I thought giving her a week would enable her to come back to her senses but with each day that passed by, she became only more firm and resolute in her decision for me to get married to Valerie. As we both ambled into the Valentino mansion, the air held an aura of uncertainty for the both of us.Damien was nothing but pleased to see me here. As if the very reason for my coming was inscripted bodly on my forehead."Luciano, Jade, have a seat please" He smiled. We sat down, Jade moving inches away from me. Her action did not go unnoticed by Valerie.A vain smile curled by the corners of her lips upon seeing Jade's countenance. Man that woman makes

Three days later Valerie sauntered towards Luciano's office, the click of her heels echoing in the corridor. Though Jade's unforgiving words of Luciano never accepting her still rang like an incessant alarm on repeat in her head but her eyes, veiled by a smoky allure, held a confident gleam. She came here for one purpose and that was to seduce Luciano and prove his stubborn wife wrong that indeed, Luciano would want her and find her attractive.And besides it was not a bad thing...Valerie thought to herself. After all Luciano had wilfully decided to marry her and Jade herself consented to it, they both had no objection to it.So what was the harm in seducing her would be husband? A devious smirk appeared on her face as her mind carved out so many unholy thoughts.On reaching his office, she knocked lightly, the door swinging open to reveal Luciano immersed in work. A subtle smile played on Valerie's lips as she entered, leaving a strong fragrance of perfume lingering in her wake.V

JADE "Elizabeth is dinner ready?" I asked one of my maids the moment she walked into my private bed chamber.Life in the villa for the past one week since that dreadful encounter with Luciano and Valerie had indeed been awfully slow.Seconds would turn into minutes, minutes into hours and hours into days. Each new day the same cycle to repeat; I woke with swollen eyes from crying all night, freshened up, ate and spent the rest of my day reading a book.She nodded, "Yes and Master Luciano is around too" she announced to me. Slowly, my eyes left the book which I held and darted towards Elizabeth's unsteady gaze. Dropping the book on the bed, I slowly sat straight."Really? Wow what a surprise. I thought he had begun hating to come home" I chortled darkly. Ever since I walked in on Luciano confessing his true feelings for me to Valerie, I was left broken, not knowing the best way to handle and cope with such a sudden and bitter truth. It breaks my heart whenever my mind wanders to it.

Her eyes, her smouldering eyes which drew him like a magnet or was it her milk skin that called out to him, dangling him over the precipiceof lust? Her dark wavy hair which seemed so silky and soft, he wanted nothing more than to sink his fingers into her warm scalp and pleasure her all the ways a man could pleasure his woman. Luciano was unable to concentrate. He was loosing his mind and his entire body was burning with such a fiery and pulsating hunger. A hunger that only Jade could satisfy. Even now in a meeting with Damien, he could barely even focus on anything else than how Jade had him drooling like a starved man last night. "Luciano are you listening?" Damien snapped his fingers across Luciano's hooded eyes.Luciano blinked, having been snapped out of his daze. "I am sorry what were you saying?" Luciano asked, he was clearly not paying attention.Damien crossed his arms over his chest and raised a brow, "We were talking bout the wedding preparations Luciano. I was telli
