Beginning of the end 130
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

7 years ago(Glimpse of the past)"I want to go to the...," Before I could finish my sentence I got the answer."No." A firm no, that is what I got as an answer from Adriano.He didn't not even let me finish my complete sentence and I already know his answer now."But I.... Please." I tried again to tell him what exactly is my demand."I don't like repeating myself." Adriano looked straight into my eyes and repeated "No."There was no sense in standing there and begging him to let me go on the camping trip with my friends.There is no way this man is going to melt.I rushed out of the room and went straight into mine. I want to be alone.But I can't even get a minute of peace in this house. Someone knocked at my door. I felt relieved when it was my mother."Mom, everyone is going. I also want to go." I tried to insist my mother to let me go on the camping trip that my friends have planned.But now I get it, there is no possible way I will be able to convience her."Are you not in a pr

There was no one in the kitchen except for me and my Mother but still I had to murmur to her. Can't risk anyone hearing our conversation, otherwise both of us will land in a big trouble."But Mom, how can I marry someone I am afraid of? How will I ever be able to love him?" By the look mother is giving me, I can tell she already feels irritated by my questions.'Never question about anything. It's not a woman's job.' My mother reminds me all the time."Emilia, stop this right now." She raised her voice at me. "You will have to marry Adriano one way or another." She doesn't love me at all, it's clear."We are afraid of the God too Emilia, but at the same time we love him too, right."My mother cannot be serious at the moment."Mom, how can you even compare Adriano to the God?" My eyes swell up with tears. I honestly cannot argue without crying."He is like a God for us, you stupid girl. He helped our family when we went through the worst times. He is the reason your brother is out of t
