CHAPTER 19

ANALISE’S POV

Yesterday I talked to Luciano about me going to America. He got irritated and told me to not mention it again.
He is right in some sense. After leaving Italy to whom will I go? Who is waiting for me in New York?
The apartment I lived in must have been given to some else due to my absence. I doubt if someone even found me missing. I don’t have friends.

Now only Alice is left who cares for me and I can meet her anytime I want. I don’t have parents or any relatives dying to see me.
I never talked to neighbors much due to the strict schedule. Never went to parks and talked to different people.
Even when my parents were alive, we didn’t meet with our relatives much.
Currently, I am sitting in the car finally going outside the mansion. It was really hard to take permission from Luciano.

Flashback (Twenty Minutes Ago)

I am a nervous wreck right now. Standing outside Luciano’s home office, I am wondering whether should I go inside or not.
I want to go to the spa and shopping and I can’t leave without his permission. That’s why I am here, standing. I know he will not permit me but still, there is no harm in trying.
Now I am three months pregnant and my back and feet hurt. I knock on the door and wait for a response but nothing comes. I think I should leave. Maybe he is busy.

I again knock and a rude “Entra.” Is heard. Shit! He is not in good mood. I hesitantly open the door and peek inside to see him sitting behind his desk. He is reading papers and doing something on his laptop. (Come in)
I move inside and close it gently to not make any noise. I continue to stand against the door not knowing what to do when Luciano looks up with an angry and irritated face.

His expression changes immediately after seeing me. A smile appears on his face. “There is no need for you to knock Tesoro. You can come inside anytime you want.”
“Ahm thanks.” I say gently.
I move and sit in front of him. I look at him and he is waiting for me to speak. I am so nervous.
“What is the problem baby? Do you need something?” He asks looking at me patiently waiting for my answer.

“I need p-permission.” I say to him hesitantly. After hearing me his expressions change from smiling to serious.
“For what?” He asks. “I want to go shopping and spa because my back and feet hurt.”
“No”. He says ending the discussion before it even started.
“Please I am bored here. I promise you I will not escape.” I say to him on the verge of crying. I just asked him one thing and he can’t even give me that.

“I said no. If you want you can leave now.” His words worked as a trigger to my tears. Hot tears started flowing from my eyes and I hiccupped.
“Stop crying.” He said annoyingly to which more tears spilled out. He is rude. I just wanted to go outside.
After me crying for about five minutes he stood up and came towards me. He took a tissue out of the tissue box and wiped my tears.
“Don’t cry. I will take you out tomorrow.” He speaks.

“But I go today.” I say to him trying to control myself.

Flashback Ends

After me crying and pleading he finally agreed. He doesn’t want me out of the mansion. This is crystal clear.
He wanted to come with me but because of some urgent work he couldn’t. At least three cars full of security are behind me.
Even the one I am sitting in has one bodyguard besides the driver. He strictly ordered me to not take my ring off in any case.
I am just going to the spa as I am dying to have a massage. It feels like I am going for a war. Ironic.
I just want to relax for some time. I will also go shopping afterward. I want to buy some personal things too. Luciano didn’t want me to leave the mansion because he
thought it is dangerous or I will end up in danger.

I assured him I will not. Aria was busy and couldn’t come with me. Antonio had some function in school which she had to attend.
I am wearing a full-sleeved plain white top with a floral blue skirt. I don’t want to show my skin.
My bump is not visible but if you look closely, you can see it. I reach the spa and the car stops.
The guard insists to come with me inside but he can’t because I am going to have a back massage.

Now I am sitting here waiting for my turn. The big scary guard is standing at some distance from me.
A little girl comes running towards me and sits beside me. She is so cute. She gives a paper to me and leaves.
I look around me scared and confused. I look at the guard to see him staring ahead. It means he didn’t see anything.
Why she gave it to me? I look at the small paper in my hand. Should I open it or not? Maybe I should throw it in the dustbin.

Ignoring my better judgment, I open the crumpled paper to see something written on it in messy handwriting.
“If you want to know the real reason behind your parent’s disappearance then come in the back room. Who knows maybe they are alive.”
The words written on it made me shocked. How does someone know about my parents? How someone even knows me.
Is it some kind of a joke? Is it Luciano taking the test whether I will escape or not? Why he would do such a thing? I promised that I will not escape.

No, it is not Luciano but someone else who knows about my parents. My parents are not alive and I am sure of it. Fearfully I get up and start to move towards the back room.
Before that, I told the guard that I am going there for a massage. I enter the back room and see that there is complete darkness.

This room is far from others so a little noise is coming here. I should just leave this but what if my parents are alive?
No! This is not possible. Something is wrong. I should leave before I end myself in danger.
I turned around to leave when suddenly a hand covers my mouth. I try to remove it but the hand is strong. I scream but only little sounds are heard.
I again try to remove it but to no avail. Tears start blurring my eyes. My eyes start to close but the only thing in my mind is my baby.
My body shut down.

LUCIANO’S POV

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Analise got kidnapped. That’s why I never wanted her out of the mansion.
It is annoying that she got kidnapped in my country. Where my people are everywhere.
I look at my guards kneeling on the floor with fear on their faces. Fear for their lives. They should be afraid because they were unable to keep my wife safe.
I again read the note that was left there. These pussies brought it back instead of my wife.

“This time you will be the one paying. Find us if you want your wife and child to be safe. Finally, revenge will be taken.
~S”

These were the words written. I know who has dared to go against me and do such a thing.
It is none other than Stephen the leader of a small gang which I will end soon. He dared to kidnap my wife. He also sent the intruder in my home the day when Analise escaped.
I threatened him that day to not do this again but he wants his fucking revenge. He is doing this because some years back I killed his fucking brother. I should have
killed him too.

Niccolo is standing beside me and he is hell worried. “Kill them all.” I order Niccolo and he looks at me in shock.
I order him to kill all the guards who were outside the spa to keep my Tesoro safe.
He nods and they all are killed in a second. Their cries filled the room. Now there are bodies are being taken away.

I again sit at my table. I am not scared that I will not be able to find Ana because I have trackers in her body which no one knows about except Niccolo and Alesso.
I am just worried that till I find Ana will she be safe and untouched. God knows if something happens to my child or wife, I will slit their throats myself.
Alesso is still not here with Ana's location. He is the one who operates the tracker in her body and her wedding ring.

“Why is he still not here?” I ask loudly because my patience is running thin. Almost four to five hours have passed. My guards noticed late that she is missing.
I wanted to give them a painful death for not fulfilling their duty.
The door opens and Alesso appears. “Where are they?” I ask him because I know that he has full information about it.

“They are in the north of Italy. It will take three hours to reach.” He speaks.
“Get all the man ready. Today we will finish Stephano. I have already given him a lot of time.” I say getting up.
