I couldn't believe my eyes as Lily and I sat in the living room, catching up after years of silence. In the starting of our conversation, curiosity got the better of me, and I asked Lily how she found out I lived here. "Dante told me."Her casual response hit me like a punch to the gut—Dante had told her the address, I was furious.I never trusted her in the first place but now it feels like a slap on my face.She still talks to Dante, maybe he sent her here, to keep an eye on me and my kids. I need to kick Lily out but I don't know how to.Fury surged within me, and I couldn't contain my disdain as she mentioned the name Dante. I despised him with every fiber of my being. "Dante? 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 a secret, one that had burdened her for years, threatened to spill into the room. It was time to unveil the truth, to allow Emilia a glimpse into the shadows that had shaped Lily's life."Emilia," Lily began, her voice barely more than a whisper, "there's something I need to share with you. Something I've kept locked away, hidden from everyone, including myself.""I know that you have always hated me and I have always treated you bad but now I think deep down I have a regret about it. Now I feel like I understand you

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." She confessed.As the echoes of Lily's painful confessions lingered, I felt a mixture of sorrow, anger, and an overwhelming desire to shield my sister from any further harm. The specter of Dante, once thought to be confined to the past, had resurfaced with a chilling threat."Lily," I whispered, my voice trembling with a blend of concern and disbelief, "he threatened to kill you? And he wants you to plant secret c

I could feel someone's hand on my butt as they tried to squeeze it.I instantly got up, feeling uncomfortable.As I opened my eyes I was greeted with sight of my husband, Adriano, sleeping naked in the same bed as me.I looked at the side table alarm clock and realised it was only 4:30 on the morning.But Adriano seemed wide awake.I looked down at him and he returned a smile to me."Let's continue."

Whenever he likes he he is fully clothed whenever he likes he is not."Go back t

My day kicks off at six thirty in the morning, a silent symphony beginning as I rise from my bed.Adriano was already in the shower.Careful enough, not to disturb anyone I commenced my routine. The first rays of sunlight filter through the curtains as I pushed them aside, letting the light enter our bedroom.Stepping into the kitchen, my haven for the next few hours, I embark on the first task of the day – preparing a breakfast for my family, and also packing lunch for Adriano, that he will be taking to office.

"Where is your ring Emilia?" I shook in fear listening to Adriano's words.One thing he really hates is not seeing me wearing our wedding ring. This happened once in the past too, only one time. Adriano got so mad at me that I immediately started crying.He was fuming with anger."I removed it because it was itching my fingers. What the big deal honey? I will put it back-" I turned around to go get the ring but Adriano pulled me back by my hair.That day he pulled my hair with such a force that tears automatically started dripping down my eyes.I started crying loudly, but I did not dare to tell him to stop. I knew he could do worse."Never dare to remove your wedding ring again. It's a symbol that you are mine. Only mine. I hate it so much when I don't find it in your finger." He told me.It got so bad that day, that my head started to ache because of crying that much, so Adriano did not punish me further. Somehow he let it go.But I don't think he will let it slide this time.Adria
