I froze when I heard his demand. Children? He wanted me to have his children. What kind of sick and twisted shit was this.294Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ugQiHbwr
"That's a hard no for me. Nope. I refuse. I'm pretty sure you already have a child somewhere in this country with all the women you fuck. Go and find them."294Please respect copyright.PENANAzau2byWRAB
"I'm not taking no for an answer. Think about it. You could finally have the life you've always wanted, away from your parents, free to do whatever you please. All you have to do is give me a child. Simple."294Please respect copyright.PENANA2lDwxd7VKa
"Having a child is easier said than done. Even if I wanted a child, there is no way I'm having it with you."294Please respect copyright.PENANAtTd8H6YN1F
"Why not? Do you have a boyfriend?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAN2EiHRxrJP
"No."294Please respect copyright.PENANAHZZppvjOPh
"Husband?"294Please respect copyright.PENANACi5UyL7MTw
"No."294Please respect copyright.PENANAePNnufJtF6
"Girlfriend?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAis4voksyTp
"No. And no wife either so stop asking."294Please respect copyright.PENANAMcIGolVN8n
"See, I see no problem with having a child."294Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2H9FXKHH
"Says the one who won't be carrying it around for nine months."294Please respect copyright.PENANAuOsALUwuhl
"I might not be carrying it but I'll still be there, every step of the way."294Please respect copyright.PENANA3yeiS06GXu
"Wow, that helps a lot," I say rolling my eyes. "I'm not changing my mind. I'll live with you. But only because I want my freedom from my home. I'm not having a child with you. You can barely even take care of others, and I don't like you.294Please respect copyright.PENANAMZZ0CXfdMg
"I take care of a lot of people. And I can take care of you. But you won't let me fiore." he says as he places his hand on top of my left thigh.294Please respect copyright.PENANAc8uK3fbrQO
"Don't fucking touch me," I say as I push his hands away.
He doesn't reply to me but he listens for once. The rest of the ride was filled with awkward silence. I thought of Melanie, wherever she was, if she was safe, if she was happy. And I thought of Jaxen and the time I've spent with him. Even if it was only one day. It's the most fun I've ever had in a long time.

"We're here," he states as he wakes me up. I slightly jerk away from him and he gives me a concerned look. I pretend that I didn't see it and step out of the car.294Please respect copyright.PENANA3tQ6zS93MY
"You don't need to come inside. I got it from here."294Please respect copyright.PENANA7jLzxjQDGo
Even as I say that, I feel his presence that my side immediately. I roll my eyes but continue to walk up to the house. I fiercely knock on the door which was quickly opened by one of my mother's servants, Diego. He looks at me with wide eyes.294Please respect copyright.PENANAEr1vzGWtig
"Madam! She's here!" he yells out.294Please respect copyright.PENANARl1qdMISJ1
I give him a warning glare and he quickly shuts up. I walk right inside where I'm met with an angry expression on my mother's face as she rushes to the foyer. 294Please respect copyright.PENANA9xleAyQmrp
"You little-"294Please respect copyright.PENANAGJAzCJ9ilH
"Let me stop you right there Vittoria, I suggest you watch how you're talking to my wife before you continue your sentence." Rey interrupts from behind me.294Please respect copyright.PENANAPYtxcGDKt0
"I don't need your help," I whisper to him without moving my gaze. " Don't mind him. You little what? Finish the sentence mother."294Please respect copyright.PENANAy7ccRHcvoC
"You ought to listen to your husband you know, how could you run away?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAmSW1Pe8Umb
"Have you ever considered that I didn't want to be sold off to another person as a wife? Never mind. Don't answer that, because I'm done. Ho chiuso con te, ho chiuso con questa famiglia. Matter of fact, thank you. Thank you for finally throwing me off the edge because now, I don't ever have to see you, or dad's face again and I no longer have to show any of you respect. I have more respect for the servants you claim to be under your feet."
"What is all the commotion!" my father says as he enters the room. "Oh!" he says as he blinks twice at me.294Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8z71n2Iz
"Oh is right." I glare at him.294Please respect copyright.PENANAbCq3lBDIYa
"I see you've found her Rey. I told you I wasn't hiding her from you."294Please respect copyright.PENANAOeCZ5thG5A
"Of course, you wouldn't hide me from him because you're a sadistic, manipulative, bugiardo, who does nothing but sit on his ass and have other people kill for money."294Please respect copyright.PENANAzM8oHlqj1o
"Watch your tone young lady, I am still your father."294Please respect copyright.PENANANShX4pW9XJ
"No. You're not. You lost that title the moment you decided to sell me, which was apparently years ago."294Please respect copyright.PENANAUyEudit91Z
"Honey-"294Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ZGryPTin
"No!" I shake my head. "Diego, where is Melanie?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAJTEvvdtlU1
He stays quiet. But the look in his eyes says he knows.294Please respect copyright.PENANAfn0dELILjW
"Diego. You have five seconds to tell me where she is."294Please respect copyright.PENANARZ73i1uPWU
"S-she's in the basement. Locked up," he whispers under his breath.294Please respect copyright.PENANA1NalXMUYbf
"Go get her. Now please."294Please respect copyright.PENANAK79ldDJnF5
He rushes to the basement and I look back at Vittoria and Vincenzo.294Please respect copyright.PENANAUGQAoWuaFk
"Hmph, you two have got to be the worse parents in history, I hope you can live with that on your shoulders."
There was silence from the both of them. When I hear the door of the basement open, I gasp as I spot Melanie's form. I rush to her side and place her face in between my hands.294Please respect copyright.PENANAUTDNB2yR3h
"Mel, did they do this to you?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAfTHSnTBnPg
She slowly nods and I hug her tightly. I help Melanie hold herself up, and I walk her over to the door. I stare back at my parents and smile. It wasn't a happy one. My smile was hiding all the rage I felt inside for them.294Please respect copyright.PENANA5RsQj9jA13
"I hope we never cross paths again," I state before I open the door to leave.294Please respect copyright.PENANAMPcNEFEb5j
"Oh, and one more thing. Diego, why don't you tell Vincenzo how long you've been sleeping with my mother? Don't look so appalled dad! You've been sleeping with Piera for just as long. Okay bye now, have fun fixing this mess. Tell me when the baby gets here, if you decide to have it!"294Please respect copyright.PENANAtkyiKIJCoQ
294Please respect copyright.PENANAFCVAqsyx5H
Melanie stifles a laugh and we leave the house.294Please respect copyright.PENANAF7O80CofhR
"You are one badass woman my dear," she grins.294Please respect copyright.PENANAEBuFyOQV7d
"I'm just simply saying what I've wanted to say for years." I shrug as I help her in the backseat of the car.294Please respect copyright.PENANAkIHERoZk2K
"How did you even find out?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAiwQVy599bQ
"I saw Vincenzo with Piera one night about two years ago when we hosted that party for Vittoria's birthday and while I went to look for her, I saw her with Diego. It was quite funny actually. And recently, I went into her room and found a positive pregnancy test last week."294Please respect copyright.PENANAK5YInRoAg2
"Oh the scandal," she laughs.
I look to Rey and our eyes meet.294Please respect copyright.PENANACWsb7gCDfu
"You've been quiet."294Please respect copyright.PENANANar6gphHRI
"If I were a regular man, I'd fear you."294Please respect copyright.PENANA1YXvJdk172
"Ha! Why? Because I speak my mind?"294Please respect copyright.PENANAgOXHXoOf9o
"Listen, not a lot of women handle situations like this,"294Please respect copyright.PENANAiixeNgbbKl
"Well I just did, so you should be scared of me."294Please respect copyright.PENANA1aAFjejVsf
"Too bad, I'm not a regular man fiore," he smiles as he pulls out of the driveway.294Please respect copyright.PENANA8wZGpg8KOI
"I told you not to call me that."294Please respect copyright.PENANAed1XfHvsh0
"I'll call you whatever I want to."294Please respect copyright.PENANAssFdO32DZv
"We'll see about that."294Please respect copyright.PENANAEY0d4rFYnT
"I guess we will. Fiore."294Please respect copyright.PENANA7GVMgOcNZJ
