Beginning of the end 32
I was too stunned to say anything.I was too stunned to utter even a single syllable.The air around me becomes solid and almost impossible for me to inhale.I saw Enzo coming down to the kitchen and as he shot a death glare to both Sofia and me.Why am I getting a feeling that today is going to be my last day on planet Earth?Adriano told me to follow him but I did not move. I stood right beside Sofia.Enzo grabbed Sofia by her throat and squeezed it really hard. I rushed to help her. Before I could reach them a hand grabbed my arms.It didn't take Adriano long enough to grab me by my arms and drag me out of the kitchen.I followed him out of the kitchen because there is no way I will be able to escape that deathly grip of his. I stood facing Adriano as he dragged me out.I don't feel anything right now. Just numbness.I should be very mad and disappointed but I don't feel it. Not at this moment.I just feel empty."Was Sofia telling the truth?" Gathering all my courage I looked stra

Few years ago I came across a blog regarding a narcissist. That how you can never win an argument against them. Same is with Adriano. There is no winning from him."You did wrong to the women even your own mother and sister. I cannot stand it." I yelled at him."Listen to me, Emilia. You need to understand certain things."He sighed.He spoke. "Men are active social beings Emilia and women are passive sexual beings. Nature of man is to act, is to lead whereas nature of women is to obey and respond. A virtuous woman is simple and obedient." He explained me.What a trash.I don't believe what I am hearing.I think I might faint after hearing these words out of his mouth."Sofia shouldn't have gone against her husband like that. She shouldn't have created such a fuss regarding such a small issue." He commented."Small issue? It was a small issue for you?" I spoke, my words fill disgust and shock."Stop this Adriano. You are making me hate you. You are controlling and toxic." I said i

It wasn't Adriano but me who thrashed all the things in our bedroom.I threw his favourite vase on the wall, I threw the bed sheets on the floor, I threw the pillows on the floor.I was burning with rage.Everything that came across me, I broke it. Even Adriano's watches, his phone, the water jug and what not.I trashed the wall with his favourite cologne bottles, then hear the sound of a wooden door.Wooden door in the wall?I was shocked. Before I could go near to inspect more I heard Adriano's footsteps rushing into the room. I quickly moved away from the hidden door.Adriano came running into the room after hearing the loud noise.He rushed to me directly"Where is the damage?" He asked."Yes, I broke all of these things-" I spoke."I am asking about you. Are you hurt or are you fine?" My eyes filled with tears.His voice is full with concern.I wanted to cry but then I remembered what a manipulative ass he is.I don't even trust him anymore, whether he is genuinely concerned or

I first thought I am crazy for burning down his important papers. But I am not.I have been really angry at him and I knew one thing for sure that I cannot hurt Adriano physically, because I am not that physically capable and emotionally too because right now I am the one who needs emotional help.He broke my trust, he hurt people who were innocent. He killed Anna.He killed Liam.He hurt Sofia.He hurt his own mother.He lied to me.I realised how outrageous my behavior has been. I am not only mad at Adriano but I am mad at myself too.I am a fool. I accept it.I was blind in love that I trusted him.I told Anna's secret to Adriano.What a fool am I? It wasn't my thing to tell. I did not trust and help Sofia when she needed me the most.I am mad at myself.Adriano is guilty of what he has done but so am I. I accept it.And it drives me crazy because the guilt is eating me up.I couldn't even help Liam. The way I acted to become close to Adriano. I am ashamed and I am angry not just

I spat on Adriano's face and slapped him hard, but immediately regretted all of it.Even I am surprised that where am I getting this much confidence from?The old Emilia who used to be really scared of Adriano, the one who never dared to talk back to him, who did everything that was asked by him, is dead. That Emilia is not completely gone but is now hidden behind the new found confidence.Adriano wiped his face and his face went serious.Shit."Now I can't let that slide." He inhaled deeply and took a step towards me."Just because I am not hurting you physically doesn't mean I cannot." He took a step towards me and I took a step back to maintain the distance between us."What - what are you going to do? Hit me?" I feared."If it's really necessary, yes. If you don't leave me any other option then I will have to take some major steps. If it helps in disciplining you I would do it." He stated.My heart started beating loud.He cannot be serious right now.Shit.I decided to go for the

Adriano carried me out and clinging to him I took a deep breath.I relaxed in his embrace.Sofia and one other handsome man, that was standing next to her looked at me as I walked past them.Sofia is here. I am happy to see her.The handsome guy laughed loudly after seeing me in Adriano's arms. While Sofia stood there quietly, looking down at the floor.Adriano looked at them and raised his brows giving Dante a warning."Don't make fun of my wife, Dante." Adriano warned him.So he is Dante.All I know about this guy is he is the youngest cousin Adriano has, he is youngest in the family and the biggest womanizer in the family.He is spoilt and rich and runs brothels for Adriano, where Sofia was sent.Pervert confirmed."Adriano she looks so cute and small, I want to bully her." He said giving me a creepy smile.Adriano gave an angry look at Dante and I saw Dante bowing his head down infront of him, knowing that he might have crossed the limit.Adriano's phone rang and he left me with t

I waited for a few minutes and Adriano arrived.Even though he looked tired because of his work and looked in no mood to have a conversation, he asked me what I wanted to say."I just wanted to say sorry." I started to speak meekly."Forgiven." He replied.I looked at him, trying hard to resurface the topic of Sofia and Anna but I didn't dare, because I guessed in the end I will be the one who will get hurt."Trying to say something else?" He guessed looking at my restless expression.I finally dared to speak. "You have hurt me Adriano. I loved you. I trusted you. All my life I never had faith in any man but you. You made me look like a fool and it hurts, it really does." I went on crying.I sobbed and he slid next to me, putting my head on his shoulder as he caressed my hair."Don't cry." He looked at me."How can I not cry?" I had a complete emotional breakdown."Adriano I thought you are changing for me. You made me feel special. You pampered me, you cared and you even helped my f

We had a 'make up sex' and Adriano hugged me for the rest of the night.The next morning was full of surprises.I forgot, but Adriano remembered that it was my birthday.My 26th birthday.It feels weird to celebrate a birthday for the first time ever. In my home my birthday was never celebrated as it wasn't considered an important event, but today Adriano surprised me in the morning with a huge gift box, I am curious to know what's inside it."I am a human too, as capable of making mistakes as you. But I want to grow, I want to accept my faults and learn from my mistakes. I want to earn your trust back, Emilia and this time using the right way. I know it will take time and I am ready to give time. I am ready to invest time in us and our relationship." His words sounded so promising.He prepared breakfast for me. He also bought a dazzling and graceful gown for me to wear in the evening.Adriano said we are going to celebrate my birthday with whole family and some close business partner
