I was still in the passenger seat as Salvatore interrogated me.I don't want to tell him, not because I think it's none of his business (I do understand that my father has assigned him a job to keep me safe, and I get that he is doing his work) but because I don't want my newly found family to be troubled or worried regarding because of my past."Umm, yeah." I admitted."When, Emilia? Why did you not tell me? Why did you put yourself at risk?" He slowed down his car as his face burned up and turned red. "Emilia, you should-" He sighed."I am sorry. I understand that I put your job at risk. You were given the work regarding my safety by my father and I went behind my back to meet Adriano. I swear I did not mean to harm your reputation in front of my father. I did not intentionally do it." I apologised. "It is not about my job, Emilia. You won't get it" He said and then went silent.For certain minutes there was pin drop silence in the car. He did not sa

My children are sleeping and maybe it's Adriano who has come to meet them.My mind instantly conjured the image of Adriano, the man I had reluctantly married, causing a shiver to run down my spine.

Why would he tell you where I live?" I snapped, my voice edged with anger."It's quite clear whose side you are on." I was furious as I raised my voice at her."How dare you come to my house? Get out, there is no place for you here Lily. I don't know why I let you in. I thought maybe you have changed. I wan

The weight of Lily's revelations hung in the air, a somber atmosphere settling over the living room. "Also he reached out to me yesterday. He threatened me that he will kill me if I don't do what he told me to. So I had no other option but to follow what he said." Lily spoke."He said that I need to go to your place, and talk to you like a loving and caring sister. He told me I need to earn your trust and plant some cameras in your mansion. He said that if I fail at my task he will kill me. Adriano and Dante are working together against you Emilia. And they are using me."
