13 year old Emilia was different, a good different. She was chirpy, bubbly, talkative and adventurous.
Once I heard my father saying to my mother, "Both Emilia and Lily are big girls now. Old enough for marriage. If they are to find a husband and become perfect housewives, their wings need to be clipped before they learn how to fly."
And mom.......well, she agreed with him.
That's how my mother was, followed every order that my father gave. she is still the same, following every order that a man gives her, without any questions.I can't say that my father's absence and untimely death was acceptable because after he was gone, my whole family was completely at the mercy of Adriano.
After hearing what my father told my mother I got really upset, my cheeks turned red due to humiliation. I ran into my room and hugged the pillow and started crying.
That's when my uncle Alfonso came bragging in my room.
Men here never knock at the door.
Uncle Alfonso didn't live with us, he used to visit my father every now and then, to discuss about business.
He picked me up in his arms and told me that he has bought chocolates to lift my mood up.
I really felt uncomfortable in his arms but I didn't oppose.
Then he offered me one and I don't remember what happened after I ate the chocolate. I just felt nauseousness taking over me and the first thing I remember after waking up was blood on my sheets and intense pain between my legs.
I was no longer a virgin, I understood.
Uncle Alfonso was gone, he went on a mission to help my father and never came back. Only his dead body came back because he failed.
I remained silent. What else could I do? No one would have believed me.
I kept the biggest secret of my life with myself. And now the time has come, when I need to marry Adriano.
This can probably be called my last day on the planet. I don't know what will happen when Adriano finds out his future wife is not a virgin. What will happen when he finds out that I am tainted?
Tainted, that's what people say about non-virgins here.
I have no idea how quickly will he kick me out of his house or disown me or stay away from me, in company of his mistresses every night, after he finds out my secret.
My truth.
I woke up from dreaming about my horrible past. The lights were out and the night was dark.
I want water.
And more importantly I want to run away now.
I opened the door of my room to find 2 huge men, wearing black suit guarding my room.
What is happening?
One among them was Dario, Adriano's security head.
As I took a step out they stopped me. "Mam, you can't leave your room till the morning. Adriano's orders."
He bowed to me.Oh, so the Adriano has made sure that I don't escape out. What else was I even expecting?
"W-Water" I softly spoke.
Dario nodded and told the other guard to fetch water for me.
"Thanks." I went inside my room and looked out of the window.
Five more guards were stationed there.Adriano knows very well how to keep his property intact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't sleep the whole night.
In the morning, Adriano sent his female staff to dress me up, do my makeup and turn me into his perfect bride.
Some of the people he sent, packed all of my stuff while others helped me in getting ready.
The wedding was short and plain and to my suprise only a few people were invited.
From my side, my mother, Marcus, Gianna and Aida attended the wedding.
Lily refused to attend.
From Adriano's side his real younger brother Enzo, Enzo's wife Sofia, their two children, his younger sister Anna, his mother and his uncles and aunts attended the marriage.
I had to keep my head low the whole time. This is how the daughter-in-law of the family is supposed to behave. Eye contact with any male member or any elder member is seen as a great form of disrespect.
When wedding got over, mother came to me and said, "Be a grateful wife the whole day and leg spreading lady by night. Do your best to keep your husband happy and satisfied. This is the only way through which you can keep this marriage going."
I bid my final goodbye to my mother and hugged Gianna and Aida as Adriano gestured me to follow him to his car.
Most of the time he talks in gestures with me.
I am going to miss Aida so much, her small hands and small feet, her fun, her cute smile, her happiness and laugh when I used to chase her while we played.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
I followed Don as Dario opened the car doors and both of us slipped in. The driver started driving, leaving everyone and everything behind, leaving my old life behind.
From today onwards I am Mrs. Emilia Adriano Romano.
Adriano didn't even spare me a single glance while we were in the car, he seemed busy on this phone.The gate opened and I stepped out of the car as we reached the mansion.He went straight to his room and I followed him.This is the time. God save me please, I gulped.Adriano's room was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.It was lavish.A huge king-sized bed, neat blanket and pillows, black and white walls, a huge bookshelf, there was a mirror wall and a door that might lead to bathroom.Adriano went straight to the bathroom and I stood still near the doorframe. He hasn't told me to get in, yet.Five mins later he came out with his shirt sleeves rolled up and wiping his hands and face with towel."Come in" He looked at me standing on the door frame and I went inside."Take rest." He said and started moving out.Is he not going to do what we are supposed to do on our wedding day?Where is he going?Does he have work on his wedding day too?"Where are you going?" The question sl
*Mature content ahead*I have never seen a naked man before.I have never been naked in front of any man.My breath hitched."Relax." Adriano held my hands in his and told me. My hands seem way too small when compared to his."Take a deep breath." He encouraged me. "Are you really ready for this?" He questioned.I nodded.Why does he keep asking me this again and again?"Words, Emilia. Words. I want your words." He told me."Yes....yes I am ready." One thing is on seeing his naked figure I could feel something strange happening to my body.I am kinda getting excited. I could feel my heart racing, not in an anxious manner anymore, but rather in a curious manner.The second thing is I really feel like exploring the sensations I am feeling to the fullest. And this can only happen with this man as he is my husband now.Third, I want to get over with it.Seeing Adriano's smooth skin from head to toe affected me in a brand new manner.I nodded as he locked the door, put his phone on 'do not
Opening my eyes I saw Adriano's hot body next to mine. For others he seemed cold and ruthless, but when he was in bed with you, he was all mine. Or that's what I expect. I drifted back to sleep again. When I again opened the eyes Adriano stood ready with a tray of food near the bedpost. I was shocked. After last night I thought he was nice but never expected such a level of compassion and care towards you. He slowly sat on the bed offering the food in front of me and started feeding you. Before I could protest he kept feeding me, not giving me any chance to speak up as he stuffed my mouth with more and more food. Literally to the point I started choking on it. He finally stopped as I gulped it down. "Good girl. Well, that food had poison." He accepted without wasting a single second and my breath stuck in your throat. "That's what you get for hiding things from me." His smile was evil. He knows my secret. He knows that I was not a virgin.I woke up sweating. Oh, it was a drea
I didn't go back to bed. I couldn't, actually. I don't even have slightest of an idea where Adriano went off to in the middle of the night, shirtless. Is he still mad at me? Does he hate me now? Has he gone to any of his mistresses? Does he have any mistress? Is he gone to make a plan on how to end my life? Is he going to tell my family about it? Is he going to abandon me and end our marriage? And answers to all my questions seemed to be just one, that is YES. When the clock stuck seven I finally decided to shower. I hadn't realized I was crying and laying on the floor for so many hours. I was crying because I felt hurt, which even I am not sure why. Not like anything was my fault. Not like Adriano has any right to be angry with me. But I was afraid of what was about to come next. Truth to be told, I felt so nervous to get out of my room and meet my in-laws. I am not a social person at all. People make me nervous, socialising makes me nervous. All I know about them is that Enzo
I took my pregnancy prevention pill and slid the rest under the mattress on the side where I sleep. I am not even sure I can talk to Adriano right away, about it. I need a little bit of time. Everything seems so rushed. I borrowed the pills from Gianna, before I left my house to get married to Adriano. Me and Adriano had sex twice in two days and both the time he came inside me which made it quite clear that he wants to be a father as soon as possible. Of course he wants an heir, a son. He hadn't talk about it directly with me but his actions make everything crystal clear that he does want a child. Soon. Last night he came back home and he looked calm, patient and his face as impassive as ever. For the whole day I kept thinking about him. Whether he is still mad? But we ate dinner in silence and when I returned back to the bedroom I found him already waiting for me. My heartbeat fastened and without wasting a second I started apologizing. I didn't even knew what was my fault
It's been weeks following the same routine. Adriano and Enzo leave for the office after having breakfast. Me and Sofia making and serving them the food. Adriano usually returns home very late, Enzo doesn't even come back sometimes. And after he takes a shower Adriano expects me to warm his bed every night, without missing. Thanks to the pills I am taking because Adriano climaxes inside me every time we do it. I need to tell him myself about it, before he finds it out on his own. But I never got an opportunity till now to have a conversation with him. He barely talks, not like he ignores me but more like an introvert. He just leaves early in the morning, comes back home late, fucks me and then sleeps. Today Adriano called. Called me on my mobile phone. Like for the first time ever. At first I hesitated to pick up, thinking about the worst case scenarios but I made up my mind and finally picked up the call, thinking about not to make him wait. "Hello." My voice came out soft. "Be
"No I don't. Please just tell me." I insisted them. I need to know how am I making it difficult for Adriano, to be with me? Because I always thought it was the other way around."Emilia, it's nothing, leave it. You don't need to worry about it." Aria glared at Bella and shook her head. I caught them sharing looks."Please just let me know." I clutched Bella's hands and requested her. I desperately need to know it."Ok we will tell you, but you have to promise us, you won't tell Adriano that we told you about it." I promised without wasting any moment."Well, when you were not in Adriano's life..... I mean when he didn't choose you for himself, there was someone else...... umm, someone else with whom Adriano was engaged to." My mouth flew open in surprise. Why do I feel like I am the last person who knows about this. Why has no one ever mentioned anything about it to me?"But, that engagement was nothing more than a business union. Adriano was to be profited much more with help of that
It felt like a dream. Adriano caring for me, being gentle with me in the bed, asking for my consent before touching me, giving me expensive gifts, surprising me on our one month anniversary. Even I forgot about it; but despite being so busy, he remembered. And after last night and after hearing those words that came out of Aria's and Bella's mouths it felt like Adriano really cared for me. It's not a big thing to celebrate. It's just been a month, but Adriano told me he wants to cherish every single moment with me. For the whole night Adriano was a husband, kept making love to me, spooned me, rubbed the cake over me then licked it off my body using his tongue. His tongue was everywhere. Arghhh..... It's such a great distraction. I kept smiling while thinking about it the whole night. But as soon as the sun rose, as soon as the clock struck 5 in the morning, he became a Boss again. The cold look was back on his face. He got out of bed at sharp 5, exercised, bathed, got dressed, o
