Arosio De Luca

Reaching across our king size bed, my arms pull my wife closer to me as I release a sigh and hold her flush against my body. Last night was the best night of my life, I had never wanted to go for more rounds more than I did with my little bunny withering in pleasure underneath me but I chose not overexert her since it was her first time. Besides, we have the rest of our lives for me to taste every inch of my sweet angel in our bed. And maybe other places too...

"Good morning, ti amo, tesoro," I whispered in my low deep morning voice before tilting my head down to kiss Katerina on her forehead. I had never gotten so many hours of sleep before, after losing my brother-in-law and sister, sleep escaped me every night for years. But last night, sleeping with my arms around wrapped Katerina made me feel the most peace and happiness that I have ever felt.

My lips met with something fluffy, unlike the soft surface of her tender skin. Within seconds, my eyes snapped open and realize that I had been hugging a fucking pillow for the past minute. Growling lowly, I throw it across the room and look towards the clock on the nightstand by Katerina's side of our bed. It was only seven in the morning, is she showering already?

Thoughts of her surprised widened eyes and beautiful red lips parting in shock when I enter the shower with her filled my mind and my groin area instantly hardened. Smirking, I quickly shuffled out of the bed and headed towards our bathroom, I was anxious to see my markings all over her beautiful bare skin as well.

Confusion.

That was the first emotion I felt as I saw the bathroom completely empty, making me quickly pull on a pair of grey joggers before hurrying downstairs. Images of my little cucciola cooking breakfast for us appeared in my mind and I yearned to wrap my arms around her waist and shower her with kisses.

Worry.

That was the second emotion I felt as I saw an empty kitchen without even the maids present. They usually started their shifts around 8 am on most days anyway but still, the sight of the empty kitchen without my wife filled me with sadness for some reason. Maybe she got lost with no one to help her find her way around? Quickly, I shuffled out of the kitchen before checking every other room in our personal mansion.

Anger.

That was the third emotion I felt as I exited the last bedroom and realized that Katerina was nowhere to be found. She wasn't in the living room, home-theater, playroom, bowling alley room, Elijah's bedroom, she was nowhere to be found. Gritting my teeth, I practically sprinted outside to the last spot that I hadn't checked.

The backyard.

My feet slowly skidded to a stop as my eyes scanned around the pool to see if she had many decided to take an early morning swim but quickly darkened when I noticed it was empty as well. Everything was just as we left it yesterday, even the bottle of red wine that I had taken from her and tossed onto the grass still laid there. But one thing was missing.

Her handbag containing her passport, purse and cellphone.

My jaw clenched in anger as every part of my heart refused to believe that she would leave me after the special night we spent together last night. We finally consumed our marriage and she became mine for eternity. With fists clenched tightly at my side, I took calm calculated steps back into my mansion and called the head guards into the living room.

"Sir, here is the footage you requested. Young Madam had not left through the front door, she went out the back when nobody was on watch," Lennox, the head guard and a member of my Mafia, stated nervously as he avoided my murderous gaze and instructed his subordinates to stand up straight in front of me.

Ignoring him, I took the tablet and pressed play to watch the security cameras that I kept in the backyard. My anger rose with each second as I saw Katerina dressed in nothing but my sweat pants and dress shirt, running across the backyard to grab her bag before sprinting out the back gate at unimaginable speed. My vision began to see red as my fist rose high in the air before coming down with force and shattering the glass coffee table that sat in the middle of the sofas. The loud noise made the guards jumped back as they could sense my bloodlust fill the air.

"OUT." I seethed out furiously, not wanting to kill any men today and watched as my guards gulped in fear before running out as if they're life depended on it. Tsk, smart bastards.

"Whaa? Aro? It is fucking 7:30 in the morning, what the fuck do you want?" Giovanni's tired voice greeted me as my bloody hand gripped onto my phone tightly before taking deep breaths to calm the fury building up inside.

"Trace Katerina's cellphone activity. I want results in ten minutes," I didn't bother hiding the killer intent from my voice as I hung up, not giving my best friend a chance to reply. He knew when I meant business with no fucking around and now was very much that time.

Sitting in my family's private jet, I glared at the staff and my two idiot friends who were FaceTiming with my brothers on the MacBook. Alejandro was the one who had called Alanzo as soon as we got up in the air and Alanzo connected the call with Adriano. It took everything in me not to walk over to the sofa's and punch Alejandro across the face for telling my brothers everything that had happened. Thankfully, I was seated at the bar and getting a little help from Sir Jack Daniels to cope with the amount of anger I was feeling.

"HAHAHA, tell me you're fucking joking, Giovanni he's joking right?" Alanzo's booming laughter echoed in the private jet as if to mock me and I clenched my jaw while taking another swig of my drink. Not strong enough, shaking my head I traded it for vodka instead.

"It's true, I traced principessa's cellphone this morning. After spending the night with Aro, she bolted out of his house at the crack of dawn, booked an uber and got dropped off at the airport. I hacked into the airport's security camera and saw that she was taken onto the Dale family's private jet. They probably mistook her for that whore Isabella. She is heading to New York City right now and Aro is making us chase after her with him," Giovanni's disinterested voice replied as he continued to play chess against himself while seated beside Alejandro. What a fucking nut case, he was known as the Mafia's most terrifying torturer but he was a chess fanatic.

"Hahaha, that is priceless. Right, Adriano?" Alanzo continued laughing and I regretted not having enough patience to stop by our childhood mansion to pick him and Adriano up when they had asked to join. If only they were in front of me, I could have fucking snapped their necks by now and thrown them out of the jet midair.

"Hmm... fratello must be lacking skills in bed. Why else would principessa run away after one night with him?" a few moments of silence ensued after Adriano's calm voice spoke through FaceTime and I hurled my glass of vodka across the room. I watched in satisfaction as Giovanni leaned back in his seat, allowing my glass to crash straight into Alejandro's MacBook, effectively shattering the screen.

Alejandro's frightened gaze snapped up to my bloodshot eyes before he held his hands up in surrendering motion. Giovanni looked up from his chess pieces and smirked at the broken screen of the laptop, making me believe that the intelligent fuck already anticipated my actions.

"Oh my God. Adriano is right, fratello must have sucked in bed! It's been so many years since he even touched a woman, our men were beginning to question whether he had turned into a monk," Alanzo's annoyingly mischievous voice rang out even through the broken screen, making me scowl in annoyance until Giovanni's calm voice cut through.

"Logically speaking, that is not correct. I watched the security footage, principessa was wincing and practically limping as she walked down the stairs and left Aro's house," Giovanni stated before Alejandro gasped dramatically and shot me an accusing glare. I smirked at him devilishly and held my hands up.

"I didn't do anything that my cucciola didn't beg me for," I smirked as they both scrunched up their nose in disgust and could hear Alanzo and Adriano hang up the FaceTime call. It's true though, the only reason I thrusted harder last night was because she asked me to. But now, I can't help but worry about whether she was in pain.

At the thought of her being in pain, more anger filled me as I realized that she chose to run away even while in discomfort. I had planned to cancel my meetings today and spend the whole day with her, pampering her with a massage at the best spa to ease the soreness from last night before picking Elijah up at night from my parents. But she left before I could do any of that with her.

Betrayal.

That was the last emotion I felt before hardening my black, cold heart that Katerina managed to slowly melt over the past few days. Never again will I allow her to betray me and run away from me. If she wanted to play this game with me then I will quickly teach her who she belonged to.

'This time, I will not be so forgiving and gentle with you, tesoro.' I thought to myself darkly as I downed the contents of the remaining vodka within seconds.
