Bound By Circumstance: The Mafia's Innocent Bride
Takes Emma Home
Welcome back lovely readers 😁
Luca Moretti (ML)
(shaking his head) Never. You’re mine, Emma. And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you.
As he pulled her closer, Emma realized the gravity of her situation. She had to find a way to escape, to get back to her life. But for now, she had to stay calm and figure out a plan.
Emma Smith (FL)
(nodding slowly) Okay, Luca. I’ll stay. But please, give me some space to think.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(relaxing slightly) That’s all I’m asking for, Emma. Just stay with me. You’ll see that this is where you belong.
Emma forced a smile, hiding the fear and turmoil inside. She had to play along, at least for now, until she could find a way out.
Emma Smith (FL)
(Deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart)
Luca Moretti (ML)
(thought) I had almost lost her, but now she was here, with me
Luca was holding Emma's hand as they walked out of the hospital.
Emma Smith (FL)
Wait! My grandparents, they are still inside and I need to clear procedures
Luca Moretti (ML)
(smiling) They are already on the way to my mansion.
Emma Smith (FL)
(taken aback) What? How?
Luca Moretti (ML)
(with a reassuring smile) I took care of everything. They’re safe and comfortable. Let’s go.
Emma didn’t know what to say. She felt a mixture of relief and unease. As they got into Luca’s car, she couldn't shake off the feeling that her life was spiraling out of her control.
The drive to Luca’s mansion was quiet. Emma stared out the window, her mind racing.
When they finally arrived, she was struck by the grandeur of the place.
The mansion was enormous, a majestic estate with sprawling gardens and towering gates. The architecture was classic and imposing, with intricate details that spoke of old money and power.
Emma Smith (FL)
(looking at everything with wide eyes)
Luca Moretti (ML)
(leading her inside) Welcome to your new home, Emma.
Emma felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. The interior of the mansion was just as grand as the exterior. High ceilings adorned with chandeliers, marble floors, and elegant furniture filled the space. It was beautiful, but it felt cold and unwelcoming to her.
Luca guided her up a grand staircase and down a long hallway, finally stopping in front of a large, ornate door. He opened it and gestured for her to enter.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(still holding her hand)
Emma Smith (FL)
(following him like a lost puppy)
Luca Moretti (ML)
This is your room. (smile)
Emma stepped inside and looked around. The room was spacious, with a king-sized bed covered in luxurious linens. There was a fireplace, a sitting area with plush chairs, and large windows that offered a view of the gardens below. The decor was tasteful and sophisticated, but Emma felt like a prisoner in a gilded cage
Emma Smith (FL)
It's beautiful (mumbled)
Luca Moretti (ML)
(satisfied)
Emma Smith (FL)
(turning to Luca) What about my grandparents? Where are they?
Luca Moretti (ML)
(pointing downward) They’re resting on the floor below yours. They have their own suite. Don’t worry, they’re well taken care of.
Emma Smith (FL)
(still uneasy) I need to see them.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(softly) You can see them in the morning. They need to rest, and so do you. It’s been a long day.
Emma Smith (FL)
(Emma nodded reluctantly, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on her)
She was grateful that her grandparents were safe, but the opulence of the mansion only made her feel more isolated and trapped.
Luca Moretti (ML)
(squeezing her hand) Try to get some sleep, Emma. We can talk more tomorrow.
Emma watched as he left the room, closing the door behind him. She sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over her.
The room was beautiful, but it felt foreign and intimidating. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched, of being controlled.
Emma Smith (FL)
(lay down on the bed)
Emma Smith (FL)
I loved Luca, but the man I saw today was a stranger to me.
Emma Smith (FL)
What is happening in my life?
Emma Smith (FL)
How everything turns 360°degree all of a sudden
Emma Smith (FL)
How am I going to escape from this cage?
Emma Smith (FL)
(eyes are getting drowsy)
As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn’t help but wonder what tomorrow would bring.
The uncertainty gnawed at her, but for now, all she could do was rest and gather her strength for whatever lay ahead
