My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 47."In Search of the Truth"
Andrew Deluca I am not perfect. I have never needed to be, all I need is to be the best at what I do. After finding out that Gian was probably my brother, my emotions became confused. If I had a brother, on my mother's side, I wasted all this time without him. And worst of all, he was raised by the person I hate. I am repulsed. But I didn't know what I was going to do about it. I wasn't going to harm my brother. I took the mafia rules seriously, and I knew that family was family. Now I fully understood what had happened. It wouldn't be a surprise to understand why my father and Moretti had fought so fiercely, being that they were friends. So, they had become rivals for one woman. My mother. She was worse than I thought; she abandoned me, Ize, and the other son as well. What kind of woman would do that to three children? Some people are not fit to be mothers, and if a woman who should take care of me was capable of this, imagine what others would be like. After leaving Emma's r
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 48."Findings"
Emma After Andrew left the room, I took a deep breath and lay down on the bed. I didn't want to go downstairs for dinner or do anything. I just wanted to stay here, lying in the inertia of my thoughts. The way he kissed me, the way he possessed my body was fascinating. I couldn't get him out of my mind for even a second. I knew there were only six months left, just six months until the marriage contract could end, and I could move on with my life without the remnants of the mafia in it. But I didn't know how I could live after going through all of this with them. How could I forget Ize, how I created a connection that seemed to be from other lives? I didn't know how I would move on, so all that was left for me was to wait... wait to see what would happen. Could I really leave this world behind? My thoughts were interrupted by a overwhelming wave of nausea. I rushed to the bathroom, my stomach churning. It wasn't the first time this had happened since the kidnapping. The trauma I ex
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 49."Tests and despair"
Emma I was about to leave the library, my heart racing and my mind filled with tumultuous thoughts. The discovery was overwhelming, and I wasn't sure how to deal with all the information I had found. The picture of the woman from behind, holding a little girl and wearing a necklace identical to the one my mother gave me as a child, still echoed in my mind. It was more than a mere coincidence. As I walked toward the library's exit, my thoughts swirled in all directions. I needed to understand the significance of those images, and more importantly, why my mother was in the photos of that diary, and if that diary belonged to her. My mother could be the mother of DeLuca, Ize, and Gian. So... I could be their sister. Andrew's sister. This couldn't be true... I couldn't have married my own brother. It disgusted me, and I was no longer sure of anything. This was a crucial piece of the puzzle I was trying to piece together. Maybe I was just going crazy, and none of this was real. However,
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 50."Complications and Conflicts"
Andrew DeLucaI observe my possible brother's face closely through the window. His gestures, his way of acting, were identical to Ize and my mother's, but I had no idea from whom I had inherited these traits. I didn't even know who I resembled. Perhaps I was unique. I was becoming more convinced that he was indeed my brother, and I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't want to keep him captive, but I couldn't trust him enough to set him free.First, I needed to gather enough evidence to prove that his father was a scoundrel of the worst kind."We heard what Moretti did to you, Don. If you want to seek revenge, we're in it for your honor," one of the mobsters said."Thank you, Carlo, but for now, I'm thinking. An epic revenge is much better than something done in the heat of anger," I said coldly.I could think of a million places I'd rather be right now, but these Cosa Nostra meetings had to happen regularly. Lead
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 51"Meeting with the Past"
Emma. While she headed to the bathroom, I looked at the closed door, wondering what else might be hidden in that ominous house. And as I waited for the pregnancy test result, my mind continued to race, trying to unravel the secrets of the DeLuca family and the mystery surrounding my own life. I entered the bathroom, my mind not making sense, you know when in a moment, it feels like nothing makes sense anymore? That's how I felt, and I didn't know if I could survive with this burden. When the time finally came to check the pregnancy test result, I felt paralyzed. My eyes remained fixed on the small screen, which seemed to take an eternity to show the verdict. Each passing second was agony, and my mind was filled with worries and uncertainties. When I finally mustered the courage to look, the word "positive +3 weeks" was clearly displayed on the screen. My heart sank. It was real, I was three weeks pregnant. A sense of despair enveloped me, and tears welled up in my eyes once again.
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 52"Growing Suspicion"
Andrew. The best part of running your own business was not having anyone bossing you around. I hated this life in the mafia but the cash benefits it brought weren't bad at all . "Did you bring the doctors from the lab?" I spoke to Lorenzo. "They're here, Don, and they're the best in New York, just like you asked." "For the price they charged me for an exam, if they weren't the best I'd kill them," I said seriously "'Calm down, Dio mio'". I went to the door of the mansion to welcome those responsible for carrying out the test. I wasn't very patient, I woke up angry today. Emma didn't show up at the house, she was probably asleep in her room. She looked strange, I confess. And I had no idea what had happened, but I wasn't going to dwell on it either, that wasn't my problem. She was just another woman. Among so many others. I couldn't lose my head. Although having sex with her was a great choice, I hadn't regretted it so far. The security checked the doctors to make sure they did
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 53"In Search of the Truth"
Emma I never thought my life would come to this point. I was married and pregnant with a man who could have familial ties to me, and who forced me into this marriage. Could it get any worse? I think so; there's always a way for things to worsen. Well, I regret it. I knew I could have avoided all of this if I had just not slept with him. All of this could have been prevented, why, God? I left the cafe where I met my father; I needed to act immediately. I had no one I could trust in that house, not even Ize. She couldn't know about these things, not yet. I entered the mansion; the security guards watched me, probably to report to the boss. I was skeptical and cold towards Andrew. In the contract clause, it was explicit that I couldn't get pregnant by Andrew. We broke that. But the blame wasn't solely mine. If he found out I was pregnant, firstly, I didn't know what he would do to me. Whether he would kill me, take the child, I couldn't trust him. I was in a position where I had no
My Dear Don: The Contract Marriage. 54"Clinic"
EmmaI knew I needed a plan to send the DNA samples on my own without arousing suspicions in the mansion.After much reflection, I decided the best time to do this would be when Andrew was away on mafia business. He had regular meetings and commitments that would give me a window of opportunity.I waited for a long five days when he would have a meeting outside New York, but Andrew wasn't a fool; he would have someone watching me. During those days, I stayed close to him, needing to appear as if everything was normal. But most of the time, I stayed in my room. I would vomit and feel sick regularly, possibly due to the pregnancy. Obviously, I needed tests, but I couldn't trust anyone.I couldn't trust anyone, knowing that everyone was under Andrew's influence and control. The only person who knew about my pregnancy was Ize, and she questioned when I planned to tell Andrew.Ize entered the room, observing me as I struggled to tie my hair back. My hair had grown longer."I'll help you wi
