Emiliano got to the bedroom but was having a bad time getting in, he didn’t know where to start from in talking to Sia, but he had to do something, and therefore he pushed open the door and walked in silently and closed the door lightly only to see her standing by the window gazing at the black sky dotted with tiny twinkling stars and a half moon which looked a bit pale.
“Hey?”he said softly as he reached for her and hugged her from behind, Sia quickly wiped her stars and closed her eyes to prevent more tears from flowing. Yes, she was not okay because the people she trusted with everything kept on deciding her trampling over her love and friendship.
“Tell me… why do they do this… to me… all I try is…”she couldn’t take it anymore as she turned to Emiliano, maybe he could make her understand, maybe she was in the wrong.
“Don’t blame yourself… you gave it all baby… you are a true friend”he cupped the sides of her face and pulled her close, he could see how much pain she was going through, and her ears were enough proof.
“No Emiliano… I trusted the wrong people… first it was my sister and now him… sobs… I must be the problem… hiccups… yes I’m the problem”she was lost and needed someone to talk to her because she had been blinded and now the people she trusted kept on betraying her. She thought Tara was a good person and always sided with her, she even went as far as calling her father bad because he was being tough on her older sister but after finding out about Tara and her deceitful behavior she came to a conclusion that her parents were always right and wanted the best for their children. She was young and always hated her father, but now she knew her dad just wanted to protect her by being strict with her.
“That’s not true… you are my princess… you value relationships and shower everyone with your unconditional love… don’t ever say that okay”he murmured to her as he kissed away her tears and Sia wailed even more as she held his hands which were holding the sides of her face and let herself cry her heart out. The pain was something she preferred not to feel. Emiliano’s heart tightened and for the first time he witnessed sia breakdown, which rarely happened. She was strong but the surrounding people including him kept on hurting her. She was innocent with a pure heart and loved everyone equally,
“Y… you are wrong… I must be the problem… I hate myself… sobs… hiccups… help me”she was losing it, everything was turning out to be against her and for the first time she was helpless all she could do was cry without finding solidarity. Emiliano shook his head disagreeing with her statement and lowered to kiss her eyes hoping to calm her aching heart, he could feel her pain by her beating heart.
“Shh… don’t cry now… I’m here… don’t do this”he pulled her in his arms and made her bury her face against his chest and rubbed her back as his other hand ran in her hair, Sia wrapped her arms around him and snuggled as close to him as possible. She was feeling cold and wanted some warmth from him. Time passed as Emiliano continued to say assuring words to her, making her understanding that she was the best and anyone was lucky to have her in their lives including him. He took once hurt her that was why he chose to keep her in the dark about Logan because she trusted Logan and valued the friendship they shared, but now she was completely shattered and thought she was in the wrong.
“P… promise… you will never hurt me… promise you won’t hide things from me”she pulled away from him and asked looking straight in his eyes and Emiliano again cupped her face and nodded.
“I promise… now no crying”he whispered as he used his thumb to dry a feeling of tears left and Sia kissed his hand and looked up at him. Their gaze met one with a soft loving expression that promised nothing but protection and assurance.
“Do you know how much I hate people who make my wife cry?”Emiliano asked as he looked in her big beautiful blue eyes and Sia shook her head and sniffled.
“I punish them… every tear that drops from her eyes is priceless”he went on and said and sia smiled faintly however when she saw the look in his eyes she got worried.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to… breakdown like that”she whispered as her lashes lowered in shame but Emiliano was already angry at her, he had told her multiple times not to hurt him because if ever she was in pain, then he too was twice in pain.
“It’s too late to say sorry… Mrs Alvaro you committed a crime… and for that, I have to punish you”he added and lowered to bite her neck softly and feeling his warm breath Sia gasped as she shifted her hands to his chest for support and knew the man would leave hickeys. She was warned by him not to cry or hurt herself and as her punishment he was going to work on her and make her suffer.
“I… mmm… baby… please… I’m sorry”she moaned as she pleaded, but the monster was already woken, and he was ready to devour her in the most cruel way possible and sia had no way of stopping him.
“Mmm… smells lovely… I have a different punishment for you… my love”he mumbled against her skin as he kissed her softly, sending a cold shiver down her spine that made her feel hot at just his words. Sia clung to him because her legs were already weak from the ecstasy building inside her, and Emiliano chuckled as he shifted to her shoulders and bit her down with pleasure. Sia moaned loudly hating him even more he was a savage who took advantage of her, and now he was doing just that.
“Tonight… I won’t go easy on you… I’ll fuck you so hard so rough that… you won’t dare walk for days,”he said with a seductive smirk as their eyes met and sia opened her eyes and saw full lust in the man’s eyes and knew she was good as dead. Emiliano quickly picked her up and attacked her mouth with an open kiss full of hunger and Sia replied with the same intensity as she moaned in between kisses and Emiliano extended his arms to open the bathroom door because his punishment would begin in the shower and would continue until she moaned his name clawed on his back and fainted in his arms only then would he stop his torture on her and Sia was going to welcome the sweetest punishment her husband would even subject her too, she needed him to be distracted and Emiliano knew just what made her forget things, the Casanova way of making love to her was a different way sis knew Emiliano pleasured her.
***
The following morning, Sia was glad she was still alive after a hot night full of passion. She didn’t know when Emiliano stopped or when she fell asleep but when she woke up the man was nowhere to be seen, but she found a bouquet of beautiful red roses beside her bed and a note telling her she was beautiful in every way, and hence he would forever be her slave.
Of course sia rolled her eyes at that because it sounded like she was the slave not him, and again she just smiled recalling her wonderful night with him. Indeed, the Casanova had his way of driving his prey crazy with his dirty naughty words which she only heard when he was making love to her. To the outside world he was an arrogant cold hearted Casanova but to her in her bed he was something else, something forbidden and Sia loved every piece of him.
After taking a hot shower she decided to see Rhea and of course little Diego because they had to go to the Alvaro mansion since Carmen invited her for lunch. Both families including her mom and dad were going to be there.
Rhea was busy humming to a tune as she was dressing Diego after making sure he had a hot bath and the baby was happy as he made baby noises while kicking around.
“Who’s a good boy… yes it’s you”Rhea said in a playful tone as she cutely pinched his cheeks and Diego giggled even more just then there was a light knock at the door and Rhea heard Sia’s voice.
“Come in”Rhea said and immediately the door opened and Sia walked in holding a bottle of milk for Diego and she smiled seeing how happy her son was. And like always he got along pretty well with Rhea.
“Good morning wifey.. had a beautiful night?”Rhea asked and moved away from Diego so her friend could sit and sia nodded with a smile as she sat down and picked up Diego in her arms and kissed his cheeks.
“Great… you?”she replied and Rhea chose the other side and sat down. Rhea looked happy however sia didn’t look happy even though she was smiling there was a hint of sadness on her face that Rhea knew too well.
“I’m okay… but you look sad… what is it?”she knew Sia like the back of her hand and whenever she was sad she felt it.
“There’s no need to marry him”sia said what she had decided and Rhea who wasn’t a fool but understood what she meant and who she was referring too widened her eyes in surprise.
“Huh? but why… sia I thought we..”Rhea started but sia rose to her feet still with Diego in her arms and looked at her friend.
“You won’t marry that man… Emiliano and I will find a way to deal with carlos but you won’t marry him”she wasn’t going to sit and watch her own best friend marry a murder, a two faced man who had no scruples or feelings whatsoever. If Logan was capable of wanting someone dead then he didn’t deserve a girl like Rhea. She thought Logan was what Rhea needed but he turned out to be a fraud worse than Carlos. He stabbed a friend in the back.
“Sia what happened… I saw Logan leaving last night… did he do something wrong?”This time Rhea was desperate to know exactly why the sudden change by her friend. Clearly sia was upset with logan and her behavior was enough to prove that the man did something that made even sia to be angry.
“Just promise me you won’t marry him… I don’t want such a man close to you… you deserve better Rhea not him.”
“If you say so… then I won’t marry him”if Sia felt it was wrong to go ahead with the wedding then she was going to listen to her no matter what.
“Good… Diego and I will be heading to the Alvaros for a visit… you can stay here as long as you want… Mario and angelo said they will pass by to visit you”sia said with a faint smile and Rhea nodded and half hugged her. Sia didn’t stay long as she left with Diego leaving Rhea with mixed emotions. She wanted to know what Logan did but at the same time she needed to keep the promise she had made however when her phone vibrated indicating a message, she quickly picked it up only to see a message from Logan (“I’m at the court please come because I managed to convince the judge to let us marry without much trouble… I’ll be waiting… remember this is the only way to save everyone from Carlos”)she read the text and for the first time she was helpless. On the other hand she had a promise to keep and on another she had an obligation to get rid of Carlos who was a danger to everyone.
“I’m… I’m sorry sia… I have to do this”saying so she rushed to the window and looked out only to see Nickolas and lulu helping sia in getting in the car and as soon as sia had settled in Nickolas took the driver’s seat and immediately drove out of the mansion and Rhea knew it was her cue to leave and meet Logan so they could get married.
