I froze when I heard his demand. Children? He wanted me to have his children. What kind of sick and twisted shit was this.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDFKdEeNx
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysYPNjbHdj
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvxjAS8v6
"Having a child is easier said than done. Even if I wanted a child, there is no way I'm having it with you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1sYd4TrkU
"Why not? Do you have a boyfriend?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1IITrIdkE
"No."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbXQ63eWDu
"Husband?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S5V3xQDFU
"No."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQueHeZXp
"Girlfriend?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg82uRp7i2
"No. And no wife either so stop asking."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetQAi8SZtO
"See, I see no problem with having a child."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTgICyPmCR
"Says the one who won't be carrying it around for nine months."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU2EMcGB3U
"I might not be carrying it but I'll still be there, every step of the way."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeS7lea1On
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQxfxDxnh0
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW99o0s7Um
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeenuogMkP
"You don't need to come inside. I got it from here."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZTRzlBi1h
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeRSLylMw0
"Madam! She's here!" he yells out.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnOq96AYOa
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. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYRYDYcDkT
"You little-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Iiihy9BV
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpIghSaI4
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq9hgDAhoS
"You ought to listen to your husband you know, how could you run away?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u9W5xeOKF
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmce9P6WfJ
"Oh is right." I glare at him.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitMllKh6Z
"I see you've found her Rey. I told you I wasn't hiding her from you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq3AoIBMcK
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDenlcX7hPv
"Watch your tone young lady, I am still your father."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTL6ECG6bi
"No. You're not. You lost that title the moment you decided to sell me, which was apparently years ago."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu40NeUiogW
"Honey-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FzfSCvFV8
"No!" I shake my head. "Diego, where is Melanie?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp392zS5JGS
He stays quiet. But the look in his eyes says he knows.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbH8C12xfA
"Diego. You have five seconds to tell me where she is."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfnXjiusu
"S-she's in the basement. Locked up," he whispers under his breath.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXZbaFfa4
"Go get her. Now please."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsoBUbOesb
He rushes to the basement and I look back at Vittoria and Vincenzo.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDGqP8Rhh
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzgmqBFBqb
"Mel, did they do this to you?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvO3dYnRhd
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TjIt5JeSP
"I hope we never cross paths again," I state before I open the door to leave.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRv517zvzZ
"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!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8viP38iWp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzcpnhoH3w
Melanie stifles a laugh and we leave the house.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAucT5KiCYH
"You are one badass woman my dear," she grins.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zH64T2F4y
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYyb3Zu9G6
"How did you even find out?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wmezblxuv
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TJ5y7xp8b
"Oh the scandal," she laughs.
I look to Rey and our eyes meet.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruez1cWmcW
"You've been quiet."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY1a9HQOAR
"If I were a regular man, I'd fear you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz8oScgnfq
"Ha! Why? Because I speak my mind?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiojIYnerF3
"Listen, not a lot of women handle situations like this,"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Ac2KHV4X
"Well I just did, so you should be scared of me."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zy0QJzuH9
"Too bad, I'm not a regular man fiore," he smiles as he pulls out of the driveway.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lBhbsZ0Vj
"I told you not to call me that."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf79o5ksFeW
"I'll call you whatever I want to."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADRtC9QGv2
"We'll see about that."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfjoNPzZXu
"I guess we will. Fiore."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzBCr3NrPu
