Chapter 11

Carlo

Once the mansion was cleared, I had my wife taken to my bedroom. Locked away and under guard is the only way to keep her safe. Her anger at me is probably at an all-time high, so I prepare myself for the onslaught that surely awaits me on the other side of this door.

I see the guard smirking. Squaring my shoulders, I turn to him. “This funny to you?”

The smirk vanishes as he shakes his head. “No, sir. You should know she’s been banging on the door and shouting that she wants to see her husband.”

With a nod, I open the door and step inside my bedroom suite. The living area is a little messy. Pillows have been tossed around the room, and a couple of pictures hang oddly on the wall, having been hit in the midst of her fit.

An empty bottle of wine lies on the threshold that separates the living area from the bedroom. It gives me a glimmer of hope that she’s gotten herself drunk and the alcohol has lessened her anger.

Night fell hours ago, and the room is dark. A beam of light from the attached bathroom flows over something blue on the bed. Going to the bed, I find her face down. “Are you awake?”

Muffled words come, but they’re unintelligible. She turns over, her face blotchy and her eyes red-rimmed from all the crying she’s done. For a short moment, there’s a softness in her expression, but it morphs into fury at lightning speed. “You locked me up!”

She launches at me, and I have to grab her wrists to stop her from punching me with her delicate fists. Trying not to laugh at the absurdity of her attempted assault, I adopt a stern expression and say, “Stop.”

Her struggle stops, but her eyes bore holes of hatred into me. “Where have you been?”

“Dealing with things. You were locked away and put under guard for your own protection. I will not apologize for that.” Letting her go, I give her a moment to calm down.

Which she refuses to do. “You couldn’t have come to see me even once in the many hours I’ve been kept prisoner here?” she asks, glaring at me. “You couldn’t spare a moment for your fucking wife, Carlo?”

“I’m only going to warn you once, Isabella,” I say, narrowing my eyes at her. She has to understand her place. “You need to watch your tone and what you say to me. You are mine in every way, and I will do whatever I want with you.”

Staring daggers into me, she snaps, “You don’t own me! This isn’t ancient times when men owned their wives. You can’t scare me.”

She needs a good dose of fear. “This may as well be some faraway kingdom in the Middle Ages for all the rights you have, my dear wife. See, you married a man of the Old World. There is no judge who will grant you a divorce. That’s if you ever got enough freedom to get that far in the first place.
