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
Flashback:I recovered from the grief of losing my brother but I need to be strong. I need to be two steps ahead of Adriano in order to make him pay for his crimes. He is smart, really clever and I cannot underestimate him and his influence. Having a backup plan will guarantee my success positively."Now I need to do some preprations for tomorrow, I need to prepare the warehouse." John commented as he stood up to leave.We plan to execute our calculated plan in a deserted warehouse owned by this mystery man that John talks about."What preparations?" I asked John with curiosity."A backup plan." John is really helpful. A nice man, nothing like Adriano. I am glad that he is helping me so much."I also have some work to do, you will know about it by tomorrow." I told him.He nodded and left. And I followed John quitely, without letting him know. Of course I need to see what is going on in his mind. Even though John has helped me a lot I cannot blindly trust anyone.I need to be aware o
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the bed. I scanned my environment and nothing feels familiar. Then I saw the syringes and bottles and hospital beds and realised I am admitted in hospital.My whole body pains.My leg is plastered, I am sure some bone are damaged. Even if I try to move my leg it kills me.It feels so painful to move even a single inch.I am alive. I cannot believe I am alive.I thanked God.Doctors rushed in to check on me, but did not say anything to me. After assuring that everything was fine and now I am in stable state they left me alone to rest.But how did I get here? And where is John? Who brought me to the hospital? I lifted my eyes to see Sofia standing right across me, staring at my injured body.Shit. I know I failed Sofia when I did not take her side. Adriano sent her off to the brothel ad she was very upset. She must be really angry with me. And now maybe she knows that I am behind the explosion.She came towards me. "Sofia. I can explain. They w
