(Emily's POV)*One week later*I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was ridiculously white, with some silver ribbons around the waist. The sleeves were long and ruffled. The wedding was in two hours. Leila and the maids had helped me dress and do my makeup. Now I just stood there staring at myself.I surrendered.My mind drifted to that night... I've never seen Tan around. I wonder what Dimitri did to him. Since he dash off from my room that morning, he never came back. It's not like I waited for him to come back, it's just weird."Emily?"I snapped out of my thoughts and saw him standing by the doorway in the reflection. He had cleaned up nicely and wore a black suit. My body immediately tensed up and looked down. He started walking towards me."You look beautiful."I started biting my lip furiously. He put his hands around my waist and kissed my neck. I shivered and tried to move away from his hold. But his strength was unbelievable."I thought the groom was supposed to wait b

(Emily's POV)I woke up when a strong light landed on my face. I open my eyes and squinted as I felt a gust of wind... then waves... hang on. Where am I?! I quickly got up and looked around. This was some sort of a summer cabin. With thin walls and big windows. I could see through the two open doors on my right. The open sea was the only thing there.Where the fuck did he take me? I tried standing up but something pulled me back. I looked at my wrist... I was cuffed to the bedpost."Morning sunshine." Dimitri walked in.I glare at him, "You drugged me."He sighed "I didn't mean any harm." What the fuck is wrong with him?! "I understand you're upset but it was necessary."Necessary? Seriously?! I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. Then I pulled on those devil cuffs trying to release myself."Emily..." he came closer and I moved away from him. He lay next to me and I just looked outside the doors. Where the sea was and freedom. I felt him touch my cuffed wrist. This is prison."Plea

(Emily's POV)It was cold when I woke up. That's weird, I'm sure I closed the window last night. I tried opening my eyes and see no one on my side.My panic settled in when I moved my left hand, but it was handcuffed to the headboard of the bed."Dimitri?" I called out. "Dimitri?!!"I struggled as much as I could but the handcuff was only hurting my wrist. I hauled myself up to a sitting position. "Hello?! Dimitri!?"What did I do this time? Why is he doing this again?I heard footsteps coming into the bedroom. The curtain moved and Dimitri came in wearing a suit. Is he going somewhere?"What is this Dimitri?!" I scowl at him but he didn't respond. "Dimitri! Take this handcuff off!""I'm going somewhere and I can't bring you there. I am not sure if you behave while I'm gone for a day.""For Godsake! I am on an Island God knows where this fucking Island is located, do you think I would swim the fucking sea to reach the city?""I was just making sure, Emily.""No, take this off... Take

(Dimitri's POV)"I'm sorry for this abrupt meeting, Mr. DiFronzo. It won't happen again."I just nodded and stood up and reached Mr. Rinaldi's hand for a formal handshake. I exit the restaurant building I owned here in Rome in which Mr. Rinaldi is my business partner in this area. He plans to build another building in the US but I still hesitated since I can't ensure to look over the business outside of France. He kept pursuing this project for a year, maybe I will reconsider this year.He suddenly reschedule our meeting one week before because of his personal matter. I can not complain about his decision since he is the most trusted businessman I have known. He never complains about my work ethic and neither does I to him. I believe that we did click with each other when it comes to this kind of business. Even though I am a leader of the largest Mob in Italy, the Cosa Nostra, I am still a business owner in a business world in which I owned and operated restaurants, casinos, nightclub

(Emily's POV)Dimitri stared at Mr. Sloviski behind me. Until his eyes landed on me. I can't see any emotions in his eyes. I can't distinguish if he is angry or what. He remains calm while loading a bullet in his pistol at the same time scanning my head to foot with his emotionless blue eyes.Can't he see my situation here? This jerk was pointing a gun at my freaking head! You handsome idiot!!"How dare you lay a finger on her." he finally spoke. I can sense danger between his phrases."S-SHE KILLED MY BROTHER! SHE DESERVES TO BE BURIED TOO!!""I did.""What?""I am the one who killed him. It's because he touches my precious thing without my consent. You always know how I hate when someone touches my things without asking my permission."I can feel Mr. Sloviski's hand on my neck tremble, I don't know if it's because he's infuriated or frightened. "Y-YOU!!!!""You even scraped her beautiful face and your hands were on her pretty neck. Do you think I am happy about that?""SHE DESERVES
