Beginning of the end 128
Aida was asleep when I left. I am happy about it, otherwise it would have been really difficult for me to say goodbye to her in this situation.Salvatore handed me the key of the car and assured me that he will soon come to rescue me. I need to believe him, which I do, but there is a strong fear in my mind regarding Adriano.Before getting in the car I looked back at Salvatore. He has done so much for me. Our relationship is based on maturity and equal respect for each other. This makes me even more happy. But now my life is about to take a drastic turn. I know Adriano must have planned something horrible for me. But I will bear it all until I get to know about the whereabouts of Emma.After driving for another forty five minutes I reached the address Adriano texted me.The whole street was empty and right in front of the spit where I stopped my car, there was another car already waiting for me there.I got out of my car and took my travel bag out and wheeled it to that car.I was ex

Dante ordered me to go and sit in the car. I had no other option but to obey.As I tried to step inside my heart started beating loudly.My heart was screaming to turn around and somehow try to run away. I realised I am not at all ready to go and face Adriano again. I turned around to see Dante standing near the car, he was carrying a gun in his holster. So running away won't do me any good. He might shoot and injure me while I try to escape.At the same time I was worried about Emma. I have come this far, I cannot give up. I will rescue my daughter. I reminded myself of the promises I made to myself.It's not the time to give up, it's time to act smart. So I followed Dante's words and silently got into the car.After removing all the evidence of burning my things Dante got in the car. The whole car ride was silent.We did not even look at each other. I kept looking out of the window when a sudden thought hit my mind.Why does Dante hate me so much?I never knew anyone in my whole li

Adriano entered the basement and came and sat next to me on the floor.I was furious that he took Emma away from me. I am furious that I had to leave Aida and follow his orders.I know Salvatore must be taking really good care of Aida, but I am her mother. I feel the loss.For more than twenty minutes we both sat in silence.I decided that this time I am not going to be scared of him. This time I am not going to let him brainwash me.I will stand strong.I know he had many things he wanted to say, but I am pretty sure they all will be horrible."Got back from where we started, huh?" Adriano finally broke the layer of silence.I did not respond."Emma was missing you." He commented after seeing me not react to his words earlier.And I tried my best, I truly did but I couldn't hold back."Where is Emma? How is she? I wanna see her." I sounded so desperate, which I was, for my daughter.I want to see Emma, I want to talk to her, I want to play with her, I want to hug her.There is nothing

I sat on the bed, waiting for Adriano to arrive.To my surprise he did not lock me again in the basement. He did not starve or tried to manipulate me.Instead he took me to a bedroom upstairs.I peeked out of the window and realised I am in middle of nowhere. The house that I was kept in was searching facing and I was hearing the sounds of the waves.It took me minutes to realise that I was on a island. Adriano is holding me capative in the island so that I cannot escape."If you are looking out for an escape, there isn't any." He informed me.I still sat near the window.He came closer. "Also there are lots of wild animals here, if you set a foot out they will hunt you down. And I don't want my child to be motherless for rest of her life." He chuckled after that.It irritated me. "Aren't you so pathetic Adriano. Trying to use Emma in every possible way to blackmail me. Act like a grown man for once." I barked at him."I want to keep you alive, that just my motto. I never said about

I woke up in the morning by the sound of Adriano screaming at someone on the phone."I will kill that fucker." He yelled in the phone."Dante, I will take all the matters in my hand now. You do as I say." Speaking this Adriano turned to look at me.He cut the call and told me to get dressed. "That fucking boy-toy of yours is getting on my nerves now. Apparantly he is on a mission to find out where I have kept you. He reached one of my warehouses and found the drugs that I had kept there before selling them offshore. Now the police is involved and I might end up getting in trouble, but don't worry honey I will never let that fucker find you and destroy our family again." Saying this he barged out of the room.I hope Salvatore is well.I know he is working according to the plan and so am I but Adriano seemed really furious now. He looses his cool and do some reckless shit when things start to get out of his hands.Adriano came back inside the bedroom to get his coat."You are leaving?"

You and Emma were asleep when you heard a loud bang and the sound of guns firing.You immediately hugged Emma and closed her ears.Emma also jumped and woke up hearing the sound."What is happening mommy?" She asked looking scared and I had no answer to her question because I was unaware too.The sound of guns firing cannot be good, but I don't want Emma to be terrified.Then there was a sound of loud explosion and Adriano came rushing in."Emma, Emilia, he took us out of the bed. We need to run. We are under attack." He grabbed the gun from his drawer and took us out of the room.Me and Emma were being rushed down the stairs and when I reached down I saw Dante with his gun. Dante ran towards the other way from where the sound was coming from."We need to leave as soon as possible. He is here." Adriano said.Who is here? I wanted to ask.But when I moved my head the other way I saw a silhouette of a familiar man.Salvatore.My eyes lit up.I freed my hand from Adriano's grip. Grabbed

I woke up to the gentle rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. Its peaceful.Today was the day I had been dreaming of for so long – my wedding day. I cannot believe it's all happening in reality.I am getting married to Salvatore. I am so excited.I stretched and yawned, a wave of excitement washed over me.I don't remember being this happy ever before.There was a newly found sense of peace that I hadn't felt in years. Today, Salvatore would become my husband, and I would leave behind the shadows of my past.Today I completely move on and start a new life.Adriano is dead. And so is Dante. My biological father who tried to trick me is also dead.I have dealt with enough problems in my life now. And today I am setting myself free.These deaths have been a turning point in my life. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders, allowing me to breathe freely again. I was excited and so were Aida and Emma. After what eve

"Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano""Everyone is waiting for you at the dinner table, Adriano.".....I revised this sentence a million times in my mind until I started feeling dizzy as I meekly entered the dimly lit room. The scene in front of me turned me pale.How can I forget to knock at the door before entering??Yeah, maybe cause I am a bit jittery and nervous as hell.A manly figure tied from his legs, hanging upside down, covered in his own blood greeted my eyes. All I could hear was his weak whimpers that came out from his busted lips, while getting beaten with a rod, by a 6 feet tall muscular man, who was Adriano's personal bodyguard.As my eyes travelled across the room they landed on the man I came seeking here. In one corner stood the devil himself.Adriano Romano.As
