THE WEDDING NIGHT
ANA’S POV
I didn’t know whether to be infuriated or disgusted or intoxicated by him. I saw myself as a woman he was literally imposed on and not someone of worth. I saw my self as someone he bought for a purpose and not to be seen as human but when he said those words…
‘’I will not hurt you’
I refused to believe it. I refused to believe any possibility of him regarding me as a living , breathing person and not a commodity.
Then he pulled me in to that kiss. I tried to flee but my strength was no match for him own. But other may not see it but he wasn’t taking advantage of me. His kiss was tender. Excited but gentle. He treated my lips with care and for a moment I might have responded but I was too taken aback to do so.
Then he said it again but the applause drowned his voice. He was stolen by the crowd soon. He led me by the hand and we went down to the man who brought me into the Alter. His Father, Leo Berlusconi.
He stood up and met us, extending a handshake which Vanidid not take.
“This is my wife Ana. I thought you should see her up close since so was too busy to talk to you, when she was walking in. She had to prioritize me Of course.”
The tone he use md was so smug that I noticed it and realized immediately that they were not in partnership at all.
“I can see that indeed. Well you are a lucky man. Treat her well, a woman is woman no matter where you pick her up from.”
My heart froze at that moment. He knew where I can from.
Vani pulled me and I turned, he pressed on a kiss immediately. It was fast but it was enough to make anyone say ‘Damn’
He looked back at the man. “I think I know that better you do.” He blurted out in the man face, cold and then walked away.
I continued with him. He wasn’t dragging me along though but I was being pulled for sure.
We went into the limo outside and it drove off.
No wedding greetings, no well wishers or gifts; nothing.
We both sat silently in the car. He was flipping files and I was looking out the window, watching the car wheel into the villa and parked. He got down immediately and I saw his men rub to him, he followed them inside and then he came out with a gun. I shrunk away from window immediately. They went for a different car and drove off.
That when the door was opened for me and I climbed out. The big bodyguard lead me inside and the maids took over. The jovial maid particularly.
She saw the horror in my face and gave me some comforting words them helped me bath and dress into something simple. I was confined to my room and she brought me food.
She dropped the tray in front of me and say down.
“Em… my name is Leaf by the way.” She said to me, knowing I didn’t know her name.
“Leaf. You name is odd.” I said dryly.
“I know, Signor Vani Berlusconi gave me the name. When I came here form the auction hose I was so light, the wind actually blew me away. So he called me leaf. I ended up in the auction house after being kidn*pped on my way home. I was nine then.”
I looked at her in pity but my story was worse.
“My half-sister sold me off. She wanted to get rid of me so she did that.”
“Oh” she said, a little surprised but filled with sympathy.
“Yeah.” I said unenthusiastically.
She held my hands. “You are safe now. Wife of Signor VaniBerlusconi, you are so lucky. Now am about to tell you something. Tonight Is your wedding night, you have to treat him well, alright.”
I stared at her. My hands began to shake. I completely forgot about the wedding night part
“I… how do I do that? Am a virgin, I have never before…”
My eyes were. Rooming around in disarray bit when I like at her, I was stilled by the surprise on her face.
“You are a virgin at your age. What a rare find. He will love you more.”
She stood up and went to a corner of the room and then brought a box. She opened it and it was a red lingerie.
“Signor Vani Berlusconi likes red, the room is decorated Inother colors so your red will be outstanding. Tonight, you let him take the lead since he is the knowledge one and you don’t call him by his full name when he gets you too excited. Just say Vani understand.”
I stared at her, not understanding a word but more importantly, I was clear on one thing; I didn’t want him to touch me no matter what.
…….
The door of the room creaked, I opened my eyes and say up on the bed immediately.
It was already nightfall. I had been lead into the room where we would meet me but he had not returned to the house yet.
But when I heard that sound, I knew, it was him.
He had closed the door and leaned on it, talking a coo over what was waiting for him on the bed.
I felt like covering myself immediately because his gaze was too making my body tingled in way they had bef done before but his walking interrupted my thoughts.
“They told me you are a virgin?” He said so plainly. The way the words slipped off his lips felt like ecstasy and I burned up immediately.
“Mhmm,” I nodded my head. He smiled so broadly.
“Everyone thinks I have little desire for women and I cannot function longer than three minutes. Only you will know the truth. I hope you won’t tell.”
He looked right into my eyes but he didn’t expect my reply.
“Can we do this tomorrow? I am not ready.”
He began to chuckle loudly. He looked at me again.
“Rule number one of the Mafia; do anything and everything the boss says. Now, come closer. I want to already.” He was standing over my bed. I shifted back, slipping off the bed.
“Please, am not ready yet , please.” I pleaded avoiding to upset him.
Bur I failed and he frowned. Before I could say another word, he had made it to my side amd grabbed my hair. He threw me back on the bed. I struggled onto it, facing him.
He looked at me with those cold blue eyes.
He didn’t say another word, his hand on his shirt, unbuttoning it.
Maybe it was exhaustion or fear or a hidden illness because everywhere went dark all of a sudden and I blacked out.
