I woke up with a sudden jolt. My whole body was covered in sweat.My eyes were already filled with tears, gasping for breath, I tried to sit straight. I started panicking and shivering until I saw Salvatore running towards me with a glass of water. I remember everything now.I remember the hardship Adriano out me through. I remember the rough treatment. I remember the humiliation. I remember the pain.For the two months Adriano kept me away from my kids, he took a break from his work and took care of them.He made Emma fall in love with him. He is the most caring father. He did everything for Emma in my absence.He turned out to be the best dad yet the worst husband.He would take care of Aida too, I don't understand how he did it, seeing how clearly he despise her.When I was allowed out of the basement, my life completely changed. I started to mold myself in being Adriano's perfect housewife. I neglected all the abuse. I forgot my past. All I did was work and be available for Adr

"Where is Emma?" I shouted, my head started to spin with all the negative possibilities.The next morning I went to her room to check on her, but she was not there. After yesterday I was too exhausted to talk to Emma about everything.I wanted to sit down for some time and talk to her, explain her how this is going to be our lives now. And it's for the best.I also need to be gentle with her because after yesterday's incident of her pushing Aida and me getting angry at her, I came to a conclusion that I need to use gentle parenting with Emma.She is stubborn like her father. She also gets really mad about certain things, again like her father.I went to Aida's room hoping to see that she was sleeping peacefully. I looked at the bed but it was empty.I looked for Emma in her room, called out her name several times but she wasn't there. I rushed to Aida's room, woke up Aida and asked her if she had any idea about Emma's whereabouts but she said no. Salvatore came running after hearing m

"You trust me?" Salvatore placed a hand on my knees as he questioned me.I am not sure if I totally trust him. I trust him in a way that he loves me, I trust him that he will always keep me happy. But I am a little unsure whether he will be able to find Emma and bring her back home.I tried my best to keep a poker face, from inside I was dying. Emma has been gone for several hours now and no one is able to find her.Salvatore has some friends in the police department, he dialled to them.Within half an hour several men and women knocked at your door. Salvatore let them in."All of these are police officials and are here to help us." He told me as he introduced them to me."He is Logan." He introduced me to a man, saying his name.We both greeted each other in a formal way. I was way too preoccupied with the thoughts of Emma that I was unable to focus on anything.The surrounding seemed a little blurred but I tried my mind to focus and not overthink."Logan, come let me explain everyth

I worked according to the plan. I am not going to be scared of Adriano this time. I will fool him instead.He cannot win against me.Salvatore came up with a plan but I am not completely relying on it. I am quite aware how clever Adriano is. He will somehow sabotage all the plans against him.And Emma needs to realise that her father is a bad person. I know in this process her heart will break. I won't tell her myself but somehow I will let her know Adriano's true face.Adriano warned me not to tell the cops about it, and I would not risk it. Because there might be some corrupt policemen who might be working for Adriano.So I only told Salvatore about it. He assured me that in order to keep me and Emma safe, Logan will do his best. Salvatore told me how he and Logan have been friends since childhood and he can be completely trusted. Salvatore told Logan not to let everyone in his department know about the phone call from Adriano. Logan exactly did what Salvatore told him to.More th

Dante ordered me to go and sit in the car. I had no other option but to obey.As I tried to step inside my heart started beating loudly.My heart was screaming to turn around and somehow try to run away. I realised I am not at all ready to go and face Adriano again. I turned around to see Dante standing near the car, he was carrying a gun in his holster. So running away won't do me any good. He might shoot and injure me while I try to escape.At the same time I was worried about Emma. I have come this far, I cannot give up. I will rescue my daughter. I reminded myself of the promises I made to myself.It's not the time to give up, it's time to act smart. So I followed Dante's words and silently got into the car.After removing all the evidence of burning my things Dante got in the car. The whole car ride was silent.We did not even look at each other. I kept looking out of the window when a sudden thought hit my mind.Why does Dante hate me so much?I never knew anyone in my whole li
