A Bride For The Don 17. Please stay
JADE I limped along the grassy floors of the pond, kicking stones with my one good leg and pushing off twigs and branches from my way.One time I am happy and the next time, I go extremely angry. I am honestly fed up with this bumpy emotional ride between I and Luciano.We can never stay happy for a minute together.Something must definitely try to get us apart."Urgh fuck! He just can never understand me. I do not want him to touch me. It is my body for christsakes. Why is he flaring up! I am not doing this to get payback or to get at him for what happened between us yesterday!" I angrily scowled to no one in particular as I kept on walking into the stark black darkness that enveloped my entire surroundings. I was boiling on the inside, exasperation almost making me to forget to breathe."Calm down Jade. Do not get too mad. Just calm down" I halted in my uncoordinated steps and inhaled deeply.Maybe I was just overreacting. I need to go back to Luciano. We need to learn how to sett
A Bride For The Don 18. A maid, a wife and jealousy
JADE The bright rays of the sun filtered in through the curtains of my room, reflecting against my face as I laid on the bed. Twitching, I slowly flew my eyes open and yawned lazily on the bed. I gradually sat up and straightened my spine. It took quite a while for my vision to adjust fully as it was still a lot blurry.When it did, it landed on the peculiar sight of Luciano who sat facing the vanity table in my bedchamber as a maid stood behind him.They both were oblivious of the fact that I had woken up. Maybe Luciano was aware. I watched as the maid combed his hairs, purposely running her hands softly through his black hairs and all around his facial features.I am a woman and I could tell she was touching him that much on purpose.She was fucking making attempts at my husband! "Shall I style it for you?" She timidly asked with a sensual tone.And Luciano just sat there like a dummy enjoying her fingers playing all around his face. "If you wish to"I let out a gasp and cleare
A Bride For The Don 19. A sudden trip
JADE Was I too harsh on him? Oh God. I suddenly had this extreme pang of guilt gnawing at me. Even the warm shower which I had did nothing in calming down what had become of my nerves.The hurt Luciano felt by my actions was seen through his choice of words. I did not mean to get him that much upset. I just wanted him to realise I did not like seeing the maid sensually rub her fingers around him like that.Fuck. That stupid maid! I think I really need to learn how to communicate very well in this marriage and not keep distance with Luciano. Now he wants to go meet one of his mistresses. This is the second time he is speaking of meeting his mistress for affection and not me.Oh my God!I placed a hand on my temples and exhaled deeply. I need to go talk to him.I quickened my steps across the halls and stumbled upon one of his guard. "Have you seen Luciano?" I asked him with anxiety written all over my face."Yes but he does not want to be disturbed" the guard stated."Why? Take me t
A Bride For The Don 20. A kiss
JADE I sat by myself in the garden, my facial expression ladened with sadness at Luciano's sudden trip before we even had the chance to make up.A full day had passed and true to the guards words, he did not come back. I do not even understand anything. It was just a little discord. It was not even a huge fall out. But he just ordered his men not to let me see him.How could he do this to me?I pressed my hands against my chest, trying to calm down my palpitating heart which was beating so fiercely against my ribcages. I felt so heartbroken. He really did go meet with his mistresses and he probably even went out with one of them on his so called trip.Was he that mad at me? I am tired of all these meaningless bickerings and arguments. "Luciano please just come back so we can talk please" I spoke out loud."Well I am already here Jade" Luciano's husky voice replied from behind me causing me to pivot in an instant.And there he stood, my infamous husband with his hands behind
A Bride For The Don 21. A dinner invite
JADEI woke up with a yawn, stretching my hands lazily on the bed. I had slept way too early yesterday. How could I not? I was too petrified to speak to Luciano especially after discovering that horrific note placed on his desk.And Luciano did not notice either because immediately after dinner, he left for his study room.My eyes wandered towards Luciano's sleeping profile on the bed.When did he join me on the bed? I guess I must have really slept off. Luciano slept so soundly, like he did not even have a single worry in the world.There were no worried lines etched across his temples and his breathing was calm and soothing. I found it hard to believe that some one was after his life. Has the police being informed about this threat too? I will have to speak to him concerning this issue.I heaved a deep sigh and stared at Luciano the more.This man was truly very handsome. I observed his dark silky hairs which were ruffled up, my hands gradually reached for his hair strands at its
A Bride For The Don 22. An unfair judgment
JADEI arrived at Mrs Gabriela's mansion quite a bit late. I wondered if she would be angry at my tardiness. I just did not want to come early and meet with those annoying two daughter inlaws of hers. The later I come, the shorter I get to stay. I could hear feminine giggles and discussions as I plodded towards the huge dining hall. I took in deap breaths in order to brace myself up for whatever I will have to face in there. Putting up a stoic expression on my face, I meandered further into the dinning hall.Like expected, numerous orbs were on me including those of Mrs Gabriela's herself.I spotted Elisa, so far she was the only daughter inlaw that I liked. Aurora just gave me her signature saucy look before flipping her hair and adverting her gaze away. What a banquet of food this people have prepared here!This is all way too much and I doubt we would even be able to eat half of the entire food arrayed on the dinning table.Honestly what do these people do that give them
A Bride For The Don 23. Uncovering the secrets
JADE I sat in the dinner hall in expectation of Luciano. It had actually become a custom for both of us to eat together on the days he did not zoom off to work early. I still could not believe I wasted my priceless energy in going to that gathering only to be labelled a villain and have multiple accusations thrown my way.What sort of mother does that? That was an unfair judgement that she passed. She said it herself that she favoured Aurora the most. Was that not partial of her?Luciano is her son too and she ought to listen to both sides with discernment. Or was it because Luciano is not her biological son?A feeling of pain washed over me. Was this how Luciano grew up? Always sidelined and judged unfairly in every argument with his brothers? His childhood must have been very lonely after the death of his mother.And he does not speak about his father alot. I guess he is not close to him.I could honestly begin to feel the lonely void Luciano must have had to cope with grow
A Bride For The Don 24. A sabotaged dinner
Two weeks later "Signora would you like us to use the coriander leaves in this food?" A maid asked Jade.Jade looked up at at her and dropped the knife in her hand, "Sure. My mum loves it" she smiled back.Instantly she began chopping the vegetables again. Momentary her eyes would glance at the wall clock, hoping time could just slow back for a bit."Signora I think you should rest. Allow us do the work so you can prepare for tonight" Elizabeth advised trying to take the knife from Jade. "Nonsense. My parents are coming over today. This is the first time I have seen them since I got married. Why should I make you all do the work when they are my parents? Besides I need today to be so perfect so I want to join hands in the preparation" Jade replied.Elizabeth flashed her a warm smile. "You are really humble Signora. Master Luciano is so fortunate to have you" "Stop flattering me please" Jade giggled. "But thank you still. Please go make sure the dinning hall is neatly arranged wil
