A Bride For The Don 8. A dream or a prophecy
JADE I was running, running so fast. My feets dug deep into the wet, black soil as I sprinted through what seemed like a very dark forest.I stumbled upon shrubs, branches and tall grasses on my way and I had so many cuts and bruises from them. But I just had to run as fast as I could. Someone was chasing me. Someone that wanted me to kill me. The unknown murderer was angry, blood thirsty and revengeful.My heart drummed in my ears and my body was going weak from exhaustion.I ran so fast but I accidentally stumbled over a branch and fell flat to the ground.I raised my eyes up and right before me was Raffaele, a murderous intent glaring in his eyes for me. His gun was pointed right at my head but before he could pull the trigger, Luciano came out from nowhere and tackled him to the ground. I watched them fight to death until the sound of a gunshot blasted through my earwalls. All the blood drained from my face that instant and pain overwhelmed me. Raffaele had shot Luciano rig
A Bride For The Don 9. Perharps I was wrong
JADE The day went by in a blur and once again, the estate was thrown into darkness by night. After my talk with Luciano, he went off to work and I never did set my eyes on him up until now.I never knew he worked this late.I did a great deal of reading today. Luciano had a huge library up stairs and I delighted in exploring its books, the entire library oozing of vast knowledge and ideas.After that, I ate launch, watched a bit of television before dozing off in the living room and waking up again.I had expected to see Luciano back though. And for some reason, it saddened me when the maids and guards informed me that he was not back yet. I ate dinner, showered up and retired to my bed but yet still no sign of Luciano.Hours had passed as I laid on my bed, my eyes observing the skies. Lightning flashed across the dark horizon, signalling a storm approaching.Was that a bad sign?Quickly I picked up my phone from where it laid. It was close to midnight. Just few minutes away.I
A Bride For The Don 10.A threat
JADEThree days had passed already. So fast. I still had not yet recovered from the tumultuous events of the last few days. I still find it hard to believe that I almost got raped in just my second night of being in this family and by Luciano's brother for that matter.And Luciano whom I expected to be my comfort and shield, treated me like I was a common object, a possession of his all because I ran to his brother for help. We rarely even spoke these days.I never imagined him to be so petty and keep such malice with me all because of that.What is a brother whom you can not meet in times of distress? He says there is nothing going on in this family yet he forbade me from going over to his brothers. Well if he had not then I would not even bother going any way.The aftermath of the rape still loomed over me like a dark cloud. I am really not safe in this place but who can I confide in?I do not feel comfortable with Luciano nor any other family members of his. Oh God please help
A Bride For The Don 11. I am sorry
LUCIANO I could not concentrate on a single thing after Jade told me to leave her alone. A day had completely passed since we had that brief outburst of anger and all I just wanted to do was to grab her towards me at that moment and kiss her so passionately so she could understand that my emotions were intertwined with hers.I could never leave her alone. Not even if she begged for it or a gun was pointed at my head.I will not say I love her because love is a foreign word to me. I do not think I will be able to love anyone. My mother loved my father dearly but it did not fix their broken marraige. Her love was just not enough to do it.But I do care for Jade alot. I cared for her more than I cared for myself. I cared for her the moment I was told that I would be her husband. It was initially going to be Raffaele who would marry her but the man could not just keep his dick within his pants. He had gotten Aurora pregnant out of wedlock then so my father on his deathbed instructed
A Bride For The Don 12. A storm is coming
JADE When we arrived at Luciano's step mother's quarter, it felt like we had been walking for a millennium. I never realised this estate was this huge and also confusing. Every house seemed to look alike. A huge banquet had been arrayed before us and to my surprise, I saw that Luciano step brothers and their wives coupled with some men who looked like they were of Luciano's age and their own wives were in attendance. Probably they were his cousins. He did say his cousins resided here too.Mrs Gabriela welcomed us all as we greeted her in return before taking our seat. I watched as Luciano's brothers, cousins and wives exchanged pleasantries among themselves but Luciano did not move an inch after sitting down.And not much of his cousins came to welcome us either. Just two were bold enough to offer us a kind smile and to talk with Luciano. The disunity among the Greco brothers was alarming. Oh heavens please help me.Soon enough, everyone sat down in their assigned places; each
A Bride For The Don 13. Punishments
Nothing mattered to Luciano at that point other than beating the living day light out of his step brother.If possible he wanted to kill him while he was at it.How dare he say such rubbish against his wife! His own wife!There was no way Luciano was keeping silent!"Separate them!" One of their cousins, Petro, yelled the moment they both began their heated combat.Punches, kicks, the awful sound of bones cracking filled the air with blood dripping on the ground from both brothers. Luciano was too angered at the moment. "Restrain Luciano!" Matteo growled, as few of the brothers tried to hold Luciano down and stop him from delivering fatal punches to Raffaele."Fucking let go of me!" Luciano growled with such a blood thirsty rage, knocking them all off and punching some of them in the groins before continuing with his hard blows and punches at Raffaele who was already battered up and bleeding badly.His entire features screamed of pain which oozed all over him. Luciano had blood spl
A Bride For The Don 14. I said leave!
JADE I walked alongside Luciano and his guards as we slowly trudged to our home.I could not stop sobbing. Staring at Luciano's bloody shirt was traumatizing and disturbing.Because that was also his blood tainted with Raffaele's. He was badly injured. I could feel a gag hauling up to my throat but I had to suppress the urge to throw up and keep on walking.My maids stood close to me, none of them having the guts to walk ahead of us. The multiple stares of the staffs and family members we passed by felt so uncomfortable. I could hear them whispering, it felt like they were throwing derogatory remarks at us. But I did not let that affect me. I held my head high and put up a stoic expression on my face. Once we got into the mansion, I signalled to the maids to walk ahead of us so that they could prepare a warm bath for Luciano in our matrimonial room before quickly calling on another nearby staff."Bring me warm water, a clean towel and a first aid box in my husband's private bed c
A Bride For The Don 15. Just let me have you
LUCIANO I was nervous, more nervous than I had ever been in my life. My heart was beating so loudly against my rib cages. A part of me told me to take the big step and knock on her door while another part of me urged me to leave her doorway and go back to my room because I know she probably hates me now.God! Fuck! Ever since Jade had helped me tend to my injuries, I had not seen her again throughout the entire day. It seems like she just locked herself in her room.Even for dinner, her maids took her food to her room. She has not stepped her feet outside and it is getting me so worried.I have messed up. I know I have. I just did not want Jade to see me and feel pity for me or see me as weak or defenceless because of my injuries. I did not want her to think her husband was weak and he demanded pity. I doubt she would understand me. Even watching her cry yesterday as I was getting whipped filled me with a greater rage than before for Raffaele. I also did not want her to cry in fr
