~ArianaBright rays of sunlight hit me the moment I opened my eyes, forcing me to squeeze them shut. My head felt heavy and it throbbed so much, I took a minute to recover. The room I was in looked unfamiliar. It was nothing like the room I was supposed to share with my husband, Salvatore. I struggled to remember what happened and how I ended up here but it just made my head hurt more. I tried to get on my feet and it was only then I noticed that I wasn’t wearing anything. Dried blood left a streak down the corner of my laps and l felt sore between my legs. Panic hit me as I took in the disoriented state of the room. I staggered towards the large mirror seating on top of the dresser in the middle of the room and took in my appearance. There were small bruises around my neck but apart from that and the blood on the inside of my thighs, I looked normal. I racked my brain for possible explanations but I could only pull up vague images of a man. Had I been drugged and worst of all—ra

1 year later‘Be ready by 7’.I dropped the note back on the red dress with a sigh. That was the only way Sal communicated with me for the past one year since we got married. Through notes and only when it was necessary like for the event we had to attend today.I had tried my best to get back the old Sal, the Sal who cared about me. But all my efforts so far seemed futile. It felt like he was even more distant than he was at the beginning of our marriage.I rubbed my stomach, remembering the last time we were intimate. He had come home drunk and for a moment, I got a glimpse of the old Sal. He was gentle and loving and paid attention to what I wanted and how I felt.This time I didn’t bother trying to stop him when he went too far. And the result was a missed period. I went to the hospital and got the confirmation I needed. I was one month pregnant. No one was aware of the pregnancy yet. I intended to inform them this evening. I was especially eager to tell Sal. At least this was t

~SalvatoreI felt a sudden pain in my chest even though it was Ariana the bullet hit. I had been so caught up in the chaos, I didn’t realize I hadn’t pulled her under the table with me. Her eyes dropped to the bullet wound in her chest before they drifted shut and she dropped to the floor beside me. Tears blurred my vision and before I knew it, I was beside her screaming her name. In the process, I got hit by a bullet on my left arm. My brain didn’t register the pain and I immediately pulled out my gun to put an end to the idiot that shot her. But my men were finally handling it and they had managed to gun down all the attackers. I don’t know where they were earlier when Ariana was getting shot but if anything happened to her, they all would be dead too. I carried her in my arms and rushed straight for my car. I ignored everyone that tried to talk to me on my way out. I made sure she was securely strapped into the back seat before I took the steering wheel and started driving. I

~ArianaMy mouth felt like sandpaper. I battled against the weight of my eyelids, failing terribly to keep them apart. The pain in my chest increased with each breath I took and I could feel my strength diminishing with each attempt. Different objects appeared and disappeared out of my sight. Voices drifted in and out of my ears. Everything was a cacophony that further disoriented me.After sometime, I realized I was being wheeled on a bed to somewhere. I didn’t know why and I couldn’t understand how I even got there to begin with. I tried to scream but I couldn’t even move my body. Then, one distinct scene came into my vision.It was Sal hugging a blonde woman. And the next thing, they started kissing. After witnessing the scene, I didn’t try to fight the heaviness anymore and I just let my eyelids shut out the sight. ****I did not know how long I had been asleep but even when I woke up, I felt like I hadn’t been asleep for a long time. The pain all over my body was unbearable.

~Ariana “Wonderful,” Salvatore said, walking into the room. “You wanted me to leave but you don’t mind being comforted by my best friend. Since you guys were okay with snuggling in a hospital room, God knows what you would have done if it were somewhere else. Seems like faithfulness was the one thing you just couldn’t inherit from your father.” I snorted, ignoring the pain that rose in my chest as I did so. “Rich coming from someone who couldn’t stop flaunting his mistress in public. Isn’t that against the rules, Salvatore? The least you can do is respect your wife in public.” He clenched his jaw. “But what if the said wife doesn’t deserve the respect.” I sighed, placing my ventilator mask back on when I realized I was running out of breath. “This is exactly why I asked you to leave earlier. It’s hopeless talking to you.” “You’re calling me hopeless?” I didn’t respond. I closed my eyes and started counting in my head as I waited for him to leave. I heard his footsteps but
