Chapter 19
“Know this sister, I am not the Mateo you knew, he is long dead, I will not tolerate any Malta, know your place” he said calmly, but his voice echoed with threats
ay of this…. This new–found outburst you have picked up in
“You can never change mateo, this is exactly why Chiarn tried to kill herself, I said amidst tears.
He stood there looking as I opened the chapel doors and stormed out, I passed Julius on the way, his eyes looked sad, but I have decided never to trust his kind ever again.
He followed me to the car and made sure I was seated comfortably before closing it.
I found out an hour later that the true Mrs Donatelli, Becky had followed us home, my husband says it’s important for us to bond since we are now going to be 1 big family, me him and Becky.
I was immediately irritated, the doctor had confirmed that there was no hope for her to regain consciousness.
But Mateo won’t let her go for his selfish reasons.
His response “As long as I’m rich, she can breathe air”
I wondered how she was feeling, existing in nothing.
Engaged to a psychopath who only ever wants his way.
He is just like my father, he is no different from the rest…..
Julius introduced me to my bodyguard, “Alfredo will follow you everywhere” he explained, and all Alfredo did was nod.
It seems my reputation precedes me, Alfredo acknowledged my presence, but didn’t look my way.
“Fine, am I a prisoner here?” I asked Julius, who was handing over the tablet in his hand to his assistant.

“Dont call me that, my name is Ariana” I interjected
“Mrs Donatelli” he eyed me before continuing to speak “the estate is heavily guarded day and night, you are free to wander around the grounds of the Donatelli Estate, it stretches more than 1000 acres of land, Don Mateo has volunteered to show you around at his convenience”

“Take Alfredo with you everywhere” he warned, “I understand,” I replied.

I took a deep breath to fill my lungs and I exhaled loudly
I relaxed until the evening when I couldn’t sleep, Mateo’s devilish grin was plastered over my mind.
My phone rang disrupting my thoughts, thankful for it I swiftly picked up.
“Hello…Fi” I greeted weakly “I don’t deserve your forgiveness Ariana, I was weak” she started, and instantly I could not harbour the anger
anymore.
“I know
you were scared, I don’t blame you, I’ve known Mateo since we were teenagers,” I said lightly, “they are murderers”
I need to tell you something Ariana, promise me you won’t get mad” Fiona started, I sat attentively on my soft couch. “Flona, what did you do?” I inquired putting one of my hands at the back of my neck,
Chapter
“Remember the half case of Gold bars I found?”
How could I forget, it was an unforgettable experience painting Malta red.
“Well…..”
“Well, what Fional” 1 exclaimed, hurrying her to desist from the suspense
“It belongs to Igor the slice….”
1 started to shake anxiously, my heart started to race excessively, and beads of sweat ran down my face.
“He left Malta 3 hours ago…… he is here in Italy, he knows who we are Ariana!”
