You say I am unfaithful?
Agreed
But don't forget that you were asking faith from the one who has lost her faith from this world.

Amara's pov
They will kill me very soon.
My mind tells me as I stare at myself in the mirror.
My hand runs on my belly and fresh tears strain my eyes.
I have to make a plan, or else two lives will end with my decision.
I look at Chris who stood behind me, his eyes taking in my slim figure and sympathy evident in his eyes.
But I knew he won't help me.
No one would, I have to try myself.
They were taking me to Giordini estate.
Without my permission of course.
David was getting frustrated with Vince's hatred towards me.
He wanted Vince to trust me again , for what you ask.
To have me betray him again.
He had it all planned and I foolishly did everything he asked.
But not anymore, today I will break free from his prison.
"Aiden is safe Amara, you have to trust me. Don't do anything foolish"
I scoffed, smiling while adjusting the long dress on my now stick like figure.
My hair were opened to hide the whip marks on my back and my face covered in make up to conceal the cuts and bruises.
"Stop fooling me Chris. I know you guys have done something to him. No matter what, you dont let me talk to him. What does this insinuate?"
His eyes lowered and he sighed.
But still he refused to tell me the truth.
"You just have to do what boss says. Don't mess this up Amara"
"To kill Vince. That's what your boss wants. And I will kill myself before I do such a thing!"
His eyes widened in surprise, his next words making me go silent.
"Don't tell me you have started loving Vincenzo!You can't Amara!"
I smiled, turning around and looking back at him.
My smile not settling well with him.
"What if I do. At least he has a soul unlike you and your fuck*** boss!"
"You don't know him Amara. He is a bast***! He kills innocents! He is a beast and you don't even know what he does to those who deceive him!"
He stepping forward to console,when I showed him my hand.
"He knows and he didn't kill me. Not once he laid his hands on me! He never distrspected me! You are lying Chris! You are lying! "
His eyes soften.
"Maybe I am wrong but believe me Amara , everyone knows how inhuman he is, people fear him not because of his strength but because of his insanity. Just be careful."
"You think David and I are worse,then you haven't truly seen Vincenzo's true wrath.
Killing him will save you, if he comes to know you are not even Alessa but a slum girl...he will truly kill you.
Remember he has not killed you because you are David's daughter...and if he comes to know you are not. God forbid what he will do to you."
He is lying.
Or is this why he didn't kill me that day.
Because I am Amara?
A Rosseau princess?
"Trust me Amara, you can kill him , do your part and have Aiden back.
There is still hope"
He is lying.
They all are fooling me.
A guard appeared and informed that the car has arrived.
David already left for Giordini estate, I was to follow next.
Chris handed me over a bottle, my shaking hands took it.
"Just 2 drops and everything will be fine."
I nodded, not believing him but showing I do.
I will plan my own destiny now, not letting anyone to play with me anymore.

Vincenzo pov
"Dad! Please I am busy!"
"That's not an excuse son! You haven't visited in months! You are coming for lunch. No excuses."
Shutting the laptop, I sighed.
My assistant was waiting for me to end the call,so that she can inform me of the next meeting.
Getting up from my seat, I picked up my coat.
"Okay fine. I will be there in 10"
And I ended the call in irritation.
I had so much work to do but dad never listens.
"Sir, Mr Ron is wait-"
"Reschedule all the meetings to tomorrow. "
I don't need to explain anything.
Leaving the building , I informed my driver to take me to my parents place.
My mind already trying to prepare me for 3 hours of convincing and sh**.
I entered and the scene I saw made my blood to boil.
Dad and David were laughing like they have met after ages.
Mom was ordering the maids to serve them drinks.
And in the centre sat she,with hands placed on her lap and legs crossed.
The white dress she wore made her look like an angel, when in reality I knew she was a deceiving bit**.
My hands turned into fists as her brown orbs met mine.
Making my subdued anger to rise suddenly.
Does she have a death wish coming here?
Weren't my instructions clear the last time I asked her to leave.
"Son! So nice of you to join us!"
My eyes didn't leave her face.
Commending her attempt to now trap me using my father.
Two can play this game wifey,don't worry if this is what you wish.
You will get it.
Instead of leaving, I took a seat next to her.
Her eyes lowering.
Faking her shyness, impressive I must say.
"Son, you both need to talk.David and I were discussing, how childish it is for both of you to quarrel like this?"
I knew this was coming.
Childish, if only Dad knew how his supposed best friend was deceiving him.
I remained silent, my eyes fixed on her tiny form.
Her hands rubbing together, showing her anxiousness.
Back slouched in fear of my presence.
"Just look at her Son! See how weak she has become.Isn't she eating properly David?"
My eyes actually took in her thin form this time.
I have to admit this, she did look weak since the last time I saw her.
3 months 8 days ago, if I remember precisely.
"Don't ask! I have been begging her to eat but she refuses to leave her room! Not only that...but"
David stopped, his eyes falling on her wrists.
To be only followed by dad's concerned ones.
I looked at her wrist and my heart felt something.
Was it pain or anger, I really don't know.
There were marks on her wrists.
Long slashes with something sharp.
She immediately pulled her sleeves, trying to hide them.
But we had already seen them.
Her eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look up.
"Oh lord! What misunderstands are you two building? My daughter why will you do such a thing?Harming oneself is never a solution."
Her legs were shaking in anxiety, she looked up at father and I could swear I saw tears brimming her eyes.
Acting.
This is all her acting. To what extent can she go to deceive my father like that.
If she is suicidal , she can go and jump in front of the train for all I care.
It was her who betrayed me and now look at her audacity to sit in front of me and fool my family to make them believe that I did something wrong to her.
"Vince this can't go any longer. You guys have to clear things out. At least listen to her once.She is your wife-"
"I want to file for divorce"
My words made the entire hall go silent.
My eyes fixed on her, but surprisingly she didn't react.
Her face was blank.
Even mom turned around to look at me, surprised by my decision.
Her mouth opened and closed in shock.
"Vince! This will not be accepted! Can't you see the girls state!"
I hardened my jaw, looking at dad and then at David.
Why can't dad see that they were playing with us!
How can he be such a fool to believe his friend and her tears blindly.
Mom came and placed her hand on my shoulder.
Concern evident on her features.
"Son,at least talk to the girl and then decide. Don't be in a hurry.
Take your time but take the right decision"
I was adamant, and David was looking at his daughter in irritation.
As if asking her to speak something.
And she did speak, in her low stuttering voice that has started irritating me now.
"Please..can..we talk"
The first line she spoke since she came here.
Her eyes begging me and making my anger to further intensify.
I moved towards my room and she got the signal.
Following my long strides with her small anxious and uncertain ones.
She entered and I banged the door shut.
Making her to shudder in fear.
Her face disgusts me, and so does her words.
"Talk"
I say turning my back on her and staring at the fields below.
Determined to get this over with and throw her out of my life forever.
"I am pregnant"
Her words made me freeze.
Turning around almost instantly, I moved closer to her.
She was joking, right?
Another one of her concocted lies.
This time she stared back at me, trying to show she was not lying.
"3 months . Dad doesn't know. I don't want him to use my child against you,just like he used me."
I pushed her back on the wall,my angry crossing all limits.
The audacity of this women to still lie on my face.
"Stop fucki** lieing! You can't be! "
"Your anger won't change the truth. I am and I know it's your child.
You can get it checked for all I care"
I wanted to hate her,to hurt her so bad.
But my hands remained still.
Eyes staring at her determined ones.
"I know you hate me,you should. But this little life is not at fault here. Hate me all that you want but don't hate this"
My eyes softened.
My child?
Our child,but I hate this women.
I hate everything associated with her.
How can I live with the hate I have for her?
Can I have her raise my child?
Can she be a good mother for my child.
No
She can't.
She will deceive me again,she will betray me as always.
She doesn't know love,she can't love my child.
But the question remained if I can raise our child.
A child that will everyday remind me of her betrayal.
Raise a child without a mother,take away his/her right of having loving parents.
"Abort the child"
I said to test her,to just know of her reaction.
If she is lieing I would know.
I don't want my child to grow up in hate and lies,
Agreed
To grow inside a womb that only knows deception.
Agreed
But I can't kill an innocent soul, especially if he/she has my blood and genes running in their veins.
Her eyes widened,tears leaving her eyes.
She was seeing my coldness now,not knowing my true face behind the fascade of goodness I always had infront of her.
"How...how can you? It's your child...our child...I.. can't kill an innocent! How can you dare to even say something like that! You are a beast ...inhuman...Chris was right...I was so stupid to think you were better than them!
You are all bast***! Fuck-"
Pressing my hand on her lips,I silence her.
Pressing her more to the wall with my body, I make her back to hit the wall.
She had creases on her forehead,like my action hurted her but I didn't care.
"You leaked my sensitive information since day one,you gave my secrets to my rivals, you lied at my face everyday trying to act innocent.
You played with my feelings and I still forgive you."
I continued,still trying to be soft with her.
Not showing how rough I can be.
I felt something in her pocket,without her notice I skilfully pulled it out.
Not changing my expression.
"Now 3 months later you show up at my door,putting this fascade of pity and sympathy,trying to tell me to take care of the child that luckily happened from just one night sex ?"
"Tell me cagna,how I have wronged you?How I can believe you and how I can forgive you?"
She closed her eyes,trying to show that she had accepted my decision.
Making me to step back from her and let her cry out.
I looked at the bottle in my hand and then at her.
Her eyes widened in shock.
"What is this?"
She didn't reply,making me to roar at her.
"I said what is this Alessa!"
She closed her eyes,her body nearly shaking in fear.
But I can't stop it now.
My beast was on verge of getting unleashed.
The very point I was again going to believe her,she again deceived.
"Th..is...is just a tonic"
She is lieing.
She is again playing with me,so stupid of me to think she was saying the truth about our child.
There is no child,she is lying.
Every damn thing leaving her pretty lips is a fuck*** lie!
"Prove it"
I said challenging her,placing the tonic back in her palms.
Her hands started shaking looking at the bottle and then at me.
So fuck"*" smooth in lieing.
"Just a tonic right? Have a sip then, it shouldn't be a problem"
She refused to look at me,fear clear in her eyes.
Fear of death.
Here she was planning to kill me and I was thinking of forgiving her.
I an so stupid when it comes to dealing with this girl.
She was taking her time,her hands moving up to place the bottle on her lips,but she stopped.
Her eyes closing as she intentionally drops the bottle from her hands.
Making the liquid to spill out and the glass bottle to shatter into pieces.
Just like my broken heart and broken trust.
"I... can't.."
Fisting her hair,I made her look up at me.
All my gentleness dying with this.
"Were you planning to kill me with it? Planning to kill the father of your child?
Some great acting skills you have there wife...commendable I must say"
More tears leaked her eyes,as she held my arm to stop me from hurting her.
But I was unstoppable now.
"Believe me...I wasn't going to...I could never Vince..."
"Just shut up you bit**!"
Her lips wobbled as she sobbed.
Her crying face looking more innocent than before.
Pushing her on the bed,I screamed at her in pure fury.
"What do you want! Tell me ! What haven't I given you?
You are doing all this for my money right? To get my property and money?"
She sobbed more and I opened my wardrobe,pulling out all the jewellery sets and money.
Throwing out the gold sets and dollar bundles on the bed near her,I showered her with money.
The very reason she and her father were playing with me like this.
The dollars ascended down on her like rain,as I continued pulling out the expensive clothes and throwing them at her.
"These branded dresses...these fuck"** shoes...is this what you want from me?"
"No...no...please!!"
She was begging,surrounded by riches but crying with pain.
Her whimpers echoing in the room ,making me more angry if possible.
"And for god sake stop it now! Stop crying these crocodile tears! You can't fool me anymore!"
"Incazzato Ragaza! Don't test my patience!"
She refused to stop her waterfalls,instead moving towards me she again pleaded.
This girl is damn persistent and brave,I am telling you.
Or either she is plainly stupid.
"I want you to help me....please just one last time...I will leave then...I will not show you my face"
Confused I stood there burning in rage.
Her words acting as a catalyst to it.
Did she really think I will help her after-
"Please! Don't say no! If you for even one second of your life loved me...you won't say no!"
I laughed at this.
Why doesn't this bit** understand that I don't love her.
I have had enough now,enough of everything.
"Love? I don't know in which fairy world you are living but let me show you how much I hate you."
I was putting an end to her and her family now.
There was no way,I will listening to their bullsh** any longer.
I pulled her roughly from her arm,her weak body unable to break free from my steel grip.
"Please...no....Vince please...not there...please...!"
Not listening,I continued to pull her along with me towards the hall where everyone was seated.
"...I...they will kill me ..please...'
Lies,all lies.
Pulling her more harshly I entered the hallway.
Everyone's eyes turned towards us and their smiles got replaced with fear.
They hurried to help her but I refused to leave her and listen to her pleads.
Standing in front of David,I pushed her to the floor.
Making her to shriek and land near David's feet.
He didn't help to pull her up,instead his eyes hardened at her and then at me.
"Take you bit**" of a daughter and get lost from here!"
"Vince! How dare-"
I showed father my hand,daring him to continue.
Everyone was silent,knowing what happens when a calm person like Vincenzo Giordini Accardi gets angry.
David refused to accept defeat, he could see that if the girl got caught it may as well end everything.
It will end the trust his friend has for him and this will ruin all his plans.
"Vince why are you saying such a thing! She -"
"Shut up! Just shut the hell up before I waste my bullets on you and your lieing daughter!"
Alessa looked back at me,her knees scrapping on the floor as she nearly pleaded near my feet.
She tried getting up holding my tuxedo and my anger again flared.
Stepping back I refused support and she again fell down sobbing more.
Everyone rushed to hold her but sensing my anger ,they stood few feet apart.
Her palms were placed on the wooden floor,her tears falling on the ground.
But nothing mattered to me now,neither her tears nor her pains.
"Guards!"
I shouted but David was intelligent enough to carry along the little pride he had.
Grabbing onto Alessa's forearm harshly,he pulled her up and dragged her along.
Not daring to say a word any further.
I saw them leaving,her steps shaking as she was getting pulled outside.
One last time she looked back,pleading to stop her from going away from me , but I refused.
I don't need a deceiving bit** like her in my life.
Soon she was gone ,her long brown hair going out of my sight as she turned the corner.
Leaving behind deadly silence and broken hearts.
I was content now,enjoying the silence without her pleadings and lies.
Satisfied of my decision.
Happy to not see her lieing face ever again.
But little did I knew that I will beg in future,to stare at those brown orbs again.
I will cry hundred times more than she cried today.
And repent not believing the stuutereing words that were leaving her wobbling lips today.
