View MoreTHE LETTER FROM FABIANO;This is where I first met you; in this very room and this is where it will all end.I couldnât say it to your face so I wrote it down to give it to you.There is a question that we both asked ourselves many times but only I knew the answer to it.âWhy you? Why this woman?âBecause you were the lone rose standing fall in the field full of wilted flowers.Injured yet strong, broken yet standing, failing yet surviving.Beautiful and different.Maybe that was your curse.I saw you. I saw your photo in Adrianoâs office and I was obsessed with you from the very first moment. You were like a lioness, protecting your sister when you could have lost your life. Like a Queen.I knew that Iâd go mad without you so I did what I wanted to.Stole you. Broke you. Tainted you.I gave you pain but you gave me something else.A home. A family.Venus. Massimo. You.You gave me something the little boy in me desired to have. The little boy whose dreams were shattered long ago, bef
ARIA My heart ached for us. âYou canât imagine how much I missed you.â I whispered. My sister whose side I had never left after she was born, was seeing me after two years. âThereâs someone we want you to meet.â Adriano spoke up from behind, making us pull apart from each other. I turned and looked at him. My brother-in-law was the definition of tall, dark and handsome. He stepped towards me and patted my head, almost affectionately, making my eyebrows shoot up. We didnât have the best relationship. âI almost missed you.â He smirked, making me crack a smile, âHeâs waiting for you.â My lips dipped at his words. I frowned as he gave me a slow, small, smile. He nodded in my direction and then took a step aside. He jerked his head in the direction. I followed his gaze until I saw a tall figure, standing a few feet away from us. I saw color. Green. My lips formed a trembling smile when the figureâs face came into my view. Damon. âGo on. He is waiting for you.â He urged. I
FABIANO âVenus is alive.â Why did he say that? To punish her? To hurt her for betraying him? To hurt himself? He didnât know but he saw the disbelief on her face as he continued to speak, âShe was never dead. I took her away from here.â Ariaâs lips against someone elseâs. He changed what he was going to say and swallowed, his demons rattling their cages, wanting to break free and they did. âThis is your punishment, Aria.â He sneered at her shock-striken features, âYou wanted freedom? Youâll have it but youâll never see your children again. Youâll die without seeing their faces. Venus is alive but youâll never see how she grows up. Saint will know that her mother is a whore you left her son for another man. Enjoy your freedom you always begged for.â âIâll stay. Please.â He didnât pay her any attention. âIâll do anything. Fabiano? Donât do this.â She was in his feet, holding her legs, begging him, âDonâtâŚHit me, whip me, do whatever you want but not this punishment. Iâll do wh
ARIA âItâs fine.â He sobered up, âIâll take you there one day.â I stilled at his words as he smiled at me before I turned my back on him and walked the path that would lead me back to the garden. It took us several minutes to reach the garden. Once we were out, he closed the door and set the hinges before covering it with vines, arranging them in a way that didnât look suspicious. When we walked a little more, he started to speak. I wanted to cover my ears with my hands. âYou are caged here. I never see you with a phone. Do you even have one? When was the last time you talked to your sister?â He paused, staring at the ink on my neck, he glanced up and continued, âYour husband doesnât love you. He has an unhealthy obsession with you.â My eyes were wild as I stared at him. he was right. I was caged. I didn't know what happened so suddenly but I exploded. The feelings I had bottled up inside me had burst out, overflowed. They trailed over my cheeks in the form of tears and then
ARIA I want you beside me. âThere.â I stepped back moments later, thrusting the knife towards him with my shaky hands. âWe look good side by side, ocean eyes.â He commented, taking in the names we had just carved and winked at me, making me feel all those things inside me again. âDonât do it.â He paused, his brows dipping, âWhat?â âDonât do this to me.â I whispered, my emotions overflowing as I stared into his eyes. âWhat are you talking about?â He leaned over, gripping my face in his palms. And I knew it, I was leaning to his touch. His eyes were filled with concern and disbelief as he searched my eyes. âThis.â I pointed around, my eyes watering, âYouâre making me get used to you. To this light you bring with you. To this freedom you introduce me to.â A tear rolled down. I didnât know why I was feeling so emotional suddenly. âDid I hurt you, ocean eyes?â He asked, eyes brimming with concern. Concern for me. A woman he barely knew about. A woman who was married to another.
ARIA âCome on, ocean eyes.â I scoffed, âI am not going inside. God knows where it leads to.â He rolled his eyes, âYou said it yourself before. Iâve been using it. Thereâs nothing wrong.â âHow did you even know this thing,â I pointed to the door, âwas here?â I arched my brow. He smirked, playfulness swimming in his eyes before he stepped out and came close to me. Really, really close. And he leaned down, his face a few inches away from me. I licked my lips, nervously. Playfulness vanished from his eyes as he glanced down at my lips, his eyes darkened before he glanced into my eyes, his lips brushing against my ears, sending shivers of unknown feelings over my skin. âNothing will harm you, my goddess.â With that, he pulled my arm and pushed me into the darkness, his laugh following my scream. âI thought you were different than other men.â He let out a laugh behind me. I looked over my shoulder, glaring at him but he only poked out his tongue at me. Despite all my attempts, my l
ARIA He didnât move. One minute passed. Then two⌠Then three⌠Hesitantly, I threaded my fingers through his black locks, feeling their softness on my palm and enjoying it. It felt foreign. Fabiano never let me touch him exceptâŚon some certain occasions. But with himâŚthis man I knew nothing about, with Damon Xanthos whatever-his-last-name-might-be everything felt new, light andâŚgood. After a few moments, my moves were more confident. My strokes firmer as I ran my fingers through his head, tugging lightly. I felt soâŚnormal. I didnât know my lips had moved because it was him who informed me about that when he murmured without looking at me; âYou have a beautiful smile, my goddess.â **** One night, Fabiano came into my room, covered in blood. His steel eyes were darkened with a maniac energy that made my skin pop with goosebumps. His body, his eyes, everything about him was screaming danger, different than his usual kind. He placed his hands on my face and I flinched when I
FABIANO She was his. She might have jumped from the cliff to escape him but that wouldnât happen in this life. His wife. The mother of his children. His lioness. His Queen. Fucking his. And heâd fight the fucking Gods to keep her with him. They might be Gods, but he was the one who fucking ruled over Hell. *** The doctor said Aria's condition was critical; he fucking knew that but his lioness hadn't opened her eyes in three days. He stared at her pale figure, silently questioning her. Why? But he knew why. Because of him. He had driven her to a point where she chased death; begged for it and was ready to jump into its arms even if it meant being away from him. Why? To escape the cage he kept her in. To fly even though he had cut her wings. He tortured her. He did. It wasnât her fault. It was his. He couldnât rein his demons. He couldnât control himself. He always gave into their demands. He always let hem control him. They were worse. And they wanted to destro
FABIANOThe rain had slowed down, turned to drizzle but still, the clouds were rumbling and lightening was illuminating the sky when he rushed with an unconscious and bleeding Aria. He and his men had pulled her body out luckily but she was as close to death as one could be.He swore he could feel the Gods above there, partying and laughing down at her, celebrating their victory.But fuck Gods!Fuck them and fuck their plans!He wouldnât let them take her away.She wasnât theirs.She was his.She might have jumped from the cliff to escape him but that wouldnât happen in this life.His wife.The mother of his children.His lioness.His Queen.Fucking his.And heâd fight the fucking Gods to keep her with him.They might be Gods, but he was the one who fucking ruled over Hell.***The doctor said Aria's condition was critical; he fucking knew that but his lioness hadn't opened her eyes in three days.
