JADEI strode determinedly towards the Valentino mansion, a look of frustration seizing my facial features.Luciano was not aware about my coming here. How could I tell him? He would ask me a million questions and when I finally divulge it to him on why I need to be here, he would probably try to dissuade me from stepping foot in this mansion.I made sure to leave immediately after he left for work. Fortunately for me, Luciano had gotten me a driver for my personal needs.I just made him promise me not to relay any of this to Luciano.After the discussion I had with Luciano yesterday about Damien's and Valerie's offer, I was taken by restlessness and anxiety.I could not concentrate on anything no matter how hard I tried to do so.I just had to do this and confront that woman. Probably she would listen to me woman to woman. Because what sort of entitlement did she have that she thought she deserved and could take away my husband from me?Isn't that absurd?There was no way I was going
JADEFIVE DAYS LATER "Must we really go for this event Luciano? Huh?" I mumbled watching Luciano get ready as he put on his Rolex wristwatch.Apparently, the Valentino's had invited us to a party of some sort days ago and Luciano insisted we attend.I do not want to go back into that mansion. Last time I was there, I had a fallout with Valerie and I do not even want to see her face ever again.I do not know how a woman can be so comfortable plotting the downfall of another woman's marriage!Luciano had a smirk on his face as he stood in front of the mirror, observing my annoyed features through the reflection.I dropped the pair of heels I was about putting on, irritated to even wear it."Luciano won't you even say something?" I snapped, standing up at once barefooted and coming to stand behind him.Taking a thin mouth comb, Luciano began combing down his hair slowly. "Jade you have asked me that question a million times and I keep on telling you that we have to attend it. What more
Luciano led the blonde lady to a room, yes Damien had specifically given them both a room in one of the many cozy little picturesque buildings inside the mansions vicinity. He was stressed as hell with everything going on. Luciano knew his half brothers were planning something new, probably an uprising within his mafia and he had to squash it fast.Coupled with the fact that he had gotten tons of report concerning the goods being hijacked or either confiscated by the secular authorities.Everything made a bomb explode in his head whenever he thought of it and he felt like just going on a shooting spree.He was trying so hard to suppress his urge to just fucking kill everyone. After all, it wouldn't solve any thing.He had not had sex for a really long time now. And Jade did not seem like she was going to consummate their marriage any time soon.He could just forcefully have his way with her, she was small and petite in his arms.But it would kill their already blossoming relations
JADE My eyes fluttered open as I slowly stirred up from my slumber. The bright rays of the sun filtered in through the satin curtain of the room, feeling the room with their warmth. I yawned lazily and my eyes wandered down to the pillow I had laid on. I had cried myself to sleep last night.Luciano completely ignored me and went with another woman to have fun in God knows where.I doubt he came back home last night.He must be really enjoying himself.He did not even have the decency to ask one of his men to take me back home. Worst of all my feelings weren't even considered at all. Is that how much I mean to him?A migraine throbbed at the back of my head like a construction site was undergoing work on my head. Sitting on my bed and sulking all day won't help me in any way.I need to do something with my day at least so I can forget about all these. If Luciano does not mind unwinding himself by hanging out with another woman apart from me then I should probably do the same.I curs
JADEMOMENTS AGO"Follow that car. Don't stop" I instructed the driver as we tracked down Luciano's black sedan that drove far ahead of us. Luciano had no clue I was following him. After the heated conversation we had earlier this morning, I had expected him to stay back with me and at least offer me his company.That was probably the least he could do to make up for the rubbish he did in that power crazy don's party wasn't it?But he just zoomed off. And to God knows where.When Elizabeth informed me of his departure, there was no way I could sit and fold my hands whilst watching Luciano dance to the tunes of Damien and his selfish sister.I had to do something. I had to stop him before he consented to another of Damien's crazy ideas. And one way I could do that was by for staters, track down his location and follow him to wherever he was going to. I had a feeling he was going back to the Valentino mansion.And unfortunately I was not wrong either.I watched Luciano's car drive i
LUCIANO One week later We both did not want to be here. Infact I especially wanted to be anywhere but here. But my hands were tied. Jade had made up her mind concerning my marriage to Valerie. I have tried and tried to talk her out of it but she still was unwavering in her decision to get me married to Valerie.What had come over Jade? I thought giving her a week would enable her to come back to her senses but with each day that passed by, she became only more firm and resolute in her decision for me to get married to Valerie. As we both ambled into the Valentino mansion, the air held an aura of uncertainty for the both of us.Damien was nothing but pleased to see me here. As if the very reason for my coming was inscripted bodly on my forehead."Luciano, Jade, have a seat please" He smiled. We sat down, Jade moving inches away from me. Her action did not go unnoticed by Valerie.A vain smile curled by the corners of her lips upon seeing Jade's countenance. Man that woman makes
JADEI laid with eyes wide open on the bed, unable to let my eyes close even for a second. It had been hours since I arrived from the Valetino mansion but Luciano was not yet back. He did not come back home with me. Apparently, he enjoys Damien's company more than he enjoys mine. I had no clue what they were both discussing but I could not stay in that mansion any longer and exchange glares and unspoken threats with Valerie. I just had to leave. It is so hard trying to be fine when you know your entire life is falling apart and there is nothing you can do about it. I never wanted to get married into the mafia but fate has a way of working out your life for you. And now that I am married to a mafia Don, I have faced murderous brothers inlaw's, jealous sister inlaw's, near rape incidents, threats to my life...As I recounted each frightful experience, tears brewed up in my eyes. Lord what is...A heavy knock on the door reverberated through the walls of the room, causing me to jerk.
Three days later Valerie sauntered towards Luciano's office, the click of her heels echoing in the corridor. Though Jade's unforgiving words of Luciano never accepting her still rang like an incessant alarm on repeat in her head but her eyes, veiled by a smoky allure, held a confident gleam. She came here for one purpose and that was to seduce Luciano and prove his stubborn wife wrong that indeed, Luciano would want her and find her attractive.And besides it was not a bad thing...Valerie thought to herself. After all Luciano had wilfully decided to marry her and Jade herself consented to it, they both had no objection to it.So what was the harm in seducing her would be husband? A devious smirk appeared on her face as her mind carved out so many unholy thoughts.On reaching his office, she knocked lightly, the door swinging open to reveal Luciano immersed in work. A subtle smile played on Valerie's lips as she entered, leaving a strong fragrance of perfume lingering in her wake.V
