I wanted to reach John's place, as quick as possible. Adriano must have tracked the location from where I was calling, so I need to get away.Atleast I am relieved that I did not call him for some place near.I knew the risk was high but I am glad I took it.But Adriano is impossible. Instead of being sorry himself and apologise to me he wants me to do that. How could he possibly think that I am the one who should be saying sorry?I got carried away and talked for many minutes on the call with him. I have no doubt that now he must be aware of the location from where I called.But a public phone booth is all he is going to get as the location. I am still safe, I prayed inside my heart.I took a certain time to reach John's house.As I reached outside John's house I found a few black cars outside.I stopped.My body froze and my heart stopped beating for certain minutes.This is not good, not good at all.My heart started beating loudly.I hid behind the bushes, near the place.Don't le
Adriano's POV:It's 2:30 in the morning and I am in my home office, working. Last evening I talked to Emilia on the phone. I am restless about it. I am still thinking about our conversation.The bag I handed out to the maid, which according to Emilia contained book and magazines that she wanted to donate to the library, turned out completely different.She was planning to run for so long.I blame myself for not giving more attention to her and not assigning more security around her. I was so busy with my work that I started to get lenient about my relationship.I thought that once I will make Emilia my wife, no one will be able to snatch her away from me.I was confident enough that no one will take her away from me.But I underestimated Emilia.I cannot believe she not only ran away but also drugged all the men in my family and stole the money from our wallets.Very courageous move, I would have to say.I decided it's late now but I need to go to the bed. Tomorrow again I need to se
Adriano momentarily nonplussed, but he quickly recovered from the shock, returning a small smile to me."I like it when you joke like that Emilia. I get it you are kinky, but this is no time for this." He joked. I expected him to be shocked from what I told him to do, but he remained unaffected."Shut up." I moved forward and came face to face with him holding the gun tight in my grip."Can't take risk, you know. Who knows what you must be hiding inside your clothes." I raised my eyebrows and he seemed impressed."Well, you do have a brain. Honestly, there isn't anything." He smiled mocking me. I hate him."I am not going to do what you are saying. I am not the one who is going to be following your orders Emilia. It doesn't work that way, it works just in the opposite manner." He chuckled.The audacity this man has, shocks me."Well you don't have a choice. Do it or I will have no other option but to pull the trigger." I warned him.Adriano finally took the jacket off his body and on
"Stop talking like a brainless, piece of shit, Emilia." He got serious after hearing my words and gritted his teeth.It felt like if he wouldn't have been bound from the chair he would have taken a leap on me.His nostrils flared.Adriano never laid a hand on me but I knew it was the moment when he was thinking about physically hurting me. I could see how furious he got just by the mention of the word 'divorce'."There is no such thing as divorce in my life, Emilia. Once you are married, you are married for life. Only death is the exit." He basically yelled at me.This man needs some lessons in law."I don't want to be the wife of a liar and a criminal." I retorted him.Adriano closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For few minutes the entire area went silent.Then he finally spoke."You want my money, have it. You were disobedient brat, I ignored that too. You ran away, ruining our family image in front of everyone, I am still ready to accept you and take you back. If you tell me to
I finally dared to open my eyes and was greeted by the sight of blood.My body started shaking.Is Adriano dead? What have I done?I see fresh blood flowing on the floor.The sight of blood makes me uneasy.Blood was flowing down, near my feet and I finally looked up to find that the blood belonged to Mr. Ficco and his men.I started shaking.Ficco is dead. His lifeless body was lying on the floor.I pressed a hand on my mouth to suppress the scream.How?What the hell happened?How did all this men die? Who killed them?I don't know how it happened, but Adriano stood up.He rubbed his hands around his wrists and tried to relax.I don't even know how his hands got untied or who untied him.But he stood there, tall and broad, in front of me.It's intimidating.My legs started shaking. I don't know whether I would be able to stand on these legs for long."Now repeat it once again darling, what were you saying about getting a divorce, hmm." He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, taking a
"WHAT?" Adriano's words left me in disbelief. He must be joking right? This ain't no place for a joke.Everyone's eyes were on me.The fear in my heart is immense. Never in my life have I been so terrified."Are you high, Adriano? Do you even understand what you are even saying. Have you completely lost your mind?" I couldn't recover from the shock that he just gave me.He looked dead serious."Well, did I warn you before. I warned you several times but I don't understand how you were living in your own little world, dreaming with your eyes open and thinking that you can even stand a chance against me? Really?" His words hurt me as they came out of his mouth."Now Emilia, unlike you we all here have a business to run. So quit wasting our time and do what Adriano says. As quickly as possible." Dante jumped in the argument.Argh, I hate this man so much. Someone teach him to shut up. Every single words that comes out of his mind makes my blood boil. Adriano can stand on the second posit
"Thank you, for punishing me, I....I deserved it." I murmured as low as I could."Are you mad at me?" Adriano questioned me."No." Just one word answer, it's all I could speak without crying."Who's fault was it, Emilia?""Mine.""Have you learnt your lesson?""I....I did.""How will you behave from this very day?""I will be very obedient, I will never look up at any man's face until told to. I will follow every single order. I will never talk back. I will never question you. I will be docile and will be devoted to you for the rest...... rest of my life.""Will you let me do anything I want to do to you, Emilia?""Y....Yes. Anything that you want. I will.....I will not object.""Am I forcing you to say all of it, baby?""No, I am willing saying what I think, I did wrong and I deserved every thing that happened today." I held back my tears while saying all this bullshit.But what other choice do I have.We were still at the warehouse and I drifted off to sleep, I don't know when it ha
"Chose one Adriano. Either them or me." I put forward my condition. There is no way his family and I can ever get along.Plus, it puts me on a place of advantage. If he chooses me then he will have to turn against his family.Adriano stood silently over there for minutes trying to absorb my words, then he finally spoke."You know that you are my priority, Emilia. I don't need to prove it to anyone, not even to you. If it's not me standing between you and my uncles you would have been dead by now. You matter the most to me without a doubt." It hurts to hear it from his mouth. But then again I reminded myself that how good Adriano is at lying.I cannot be caught in these webs of emotions anymore. I have learnt my lesson the harder way.There is no going back to Adriano, I would rather choose death.I hate him so much but still a very tiny part of my heart wants him to be a good guy.Deep down, very deep though I still wish that Adriano was never a bad guy. I wanted this marriage to work
