The Most Beautiful Bride of the Don のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

It was Sophia Colombo, my best friend, who was calling out to me. She was my bridesmaid for my wedding to Owen. I must have been feeling a little anxious about the wedding, which was why I had that nightmare.Owen was the Don of the Thorne family, after all. He had plenty of women by his side. As for me, I was just a former Principessa from the bankrupt Warwick family. He wanted me to feel secure about our relationship and promised me an unforgettable wedding. He wanted me to be the world's happiest woman.…I held Owen's hand and walked to the priest. Our friends and family were there as witnesses with their blessings. "Emma, are you willing to take Owen as your lawfully-wedded husband?"Owen was holding up the ring box in front of me while looking deeply into my eyes. I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. I smiled and was about to say 'I do', a phrase I had been waiting a long time to say out loud, when my gaze suddenly met the eyes of a man past Owen's shoulders. He

The man stared right at me with his cold eyes. My blood froze when I saw in his eyes that he wanted to plunder my innocent body. He was like an experienced and dangerous hunter, while I was the prey he had just captured. Any struggle against him was futile.It scared me to even make any slight movements. If I angered him, he might not mind handing me over to the other predators and sharing me with them. I remembered how I was groped and grabbed by numerous hands as those men surrounded and sexually assaulted me in that nightmare. They had their way with me until I finally vanished from the world.I wanted to convince myself that it was nothing but a dream and that this was just a coincidence, but the truth before me told me that I was deceiving myself. If everything in the dream were to come true…It frightened me so much that I felt weak all over and fell limply onto the bed. Even my breathing felt weak. My sudden act of docility might have pleased the man as he pressed onto me i

I forced myself to calm down and quickly searched the room for any way to escape. My gaze finally fell on the small balcony, and I ran right toward it before the door was broken down.When I saw the balcony next door was about six feet wide, I could not help but look down. I was on the tenth floor. It was really high, and it made me feel like I was looking down into an abyss. If I failed to jump onto the next balcony, my body would be crushed from the fall.While my knees were going weak from fear, I heard the door behind me about to give up from all the crashing. They were about to get into the room. What should I do? Should I jump? I could not help but turn back to look at the dangerously flimsy door.It did not take long for me to choose between getting caught by them and jumping onto the next balcony. The latter was the clear choice. I did not want to end up as I did in the nightmare, even if I had to risk death. I took a deep breath and cautiously climbed up the rails. I clen

Third-Person POV:As the man held onto the closet doors with the light shining behind him, he said, "They've left. You…"His magnetic husky voice stopped halfway through his sentence. Vincenzo looked down at the corner of the closet to see a demure woman hidden under several of his suits, crying until her nose turned red. Her eyes were wet with tears, and she looked like a pitiful kitten. He had always been hard-hearted, but at that moment, he felt a flutter in his heart.Vincenzo had been aware that this woman was on the run and was coming toward the top floor. It was probably because of the slight guilt he felt for her that he allowed her to enter the top floor. However, he had not expected her to appear so soon. When she barged into the penthouse, he had just been about to change into his clothes.Despite his surprise, Vincenzo was amused by her reaction. Her beautiful little face had blushed bright red like a ripe apple. She looked so fresh and juicy that he wanted to bite in

My eyes widened as I stared at Vincenzo for several seconds before I turned away to make a run for it. I was in a fluster when I ran off. There was only so much I could take. It was him! He was Vincenzo Corleone! I was in so much shock when I ran off that I did not even close the door behind me. Naturally, I also missed the slightly despondent look in the eyes of the man behind me.I had run down several floors when I finally heard someone call out my name."Emma? Is that you, Emma?""Sophia?" I lunged forward at her with happy tears on my face when I saw the person waiting for me downstairs. "It's so wonderful to see you, Sophia. I thought I could never see any of you again!" I hugged Sophia tightly and exclaimed in agitation."Everything is fine now, Emma. We can go home now." Sophia moved stiffly before reaching out to pat me on the shoulder to comfort me. I quickly collected myself but found it a little strange when I saw only Sophia there. "Where's Sam and William? Didn't
