Til Death Do Us Part

@ BearGirl
A small sigh escaped from Aelia as she sat down in the passenger seat on the car. She slumped down a little bit and rested her arm on the door and covered her eyes with her hand. She had never done something so scary in her life. It rivaled when she was freaking kidnapped by Luca's men in Italy just a month or so before!

"Well, what did you want me to say?" Aelia asked, lifting her hand away from her face and looking towards Luca. "Oh, sorry. My husband doesn't like meeting people with me, so sorry, but no." Lia rolled her eyes and sighed. "I was just trying to play the part of a loving wife, who didn't mind talking to people in your line of work. Next time, I'll be mute." Her bright green eyes looked out towards the window and watched as the scenery past them by as Luca drove them back to their house, her prison. "What's so dangerous about him anyway's? He seemed like a nice guy."

Luca let out a small sigh as Aelia slightly snapped at him. "Okay, okay I get your point. I am just saying, don't be surprised if we have to go back to walk through the gardens." Luca said as he shook his head at her. Surely, there could have been something to say that wouldn't have committed to it, but it seemed that now they might just have to go back.

"And you don't want to know what so dangerous about him. You were freaked out for most of the night and now you want to know? I don't think so." There was no way that Aelia was going to find out what Dedushka did for a living. He didn't want her to yell at him when she found out, or worse, refuse to go back if they needed to again. "All you need to know is that he is a dangerous man but he won't hurt women and children. So while your life is safe, he can still ruin you."

@ BearGirl
"You mean like how you ruined my life?" Aelia said calmly as she rolled her head to the side and looked at the man with a blank stare. "You're the one who threatened to kill me if I didn't marry you." She said rather calmly, the wine dulling her senses and making her tongue loose allowing for words to just slip from her lips without realizing what she was saying.

A small sigh escaped from Aelia as she turned her head away. She was pressing Luca's button, but she frankly didn't care. The wine was running though her system and causing her to not fully think about her actions. "Whatever Dedushka does, I'm sure it's not as bad as what you do."

@ FallenHope95

"You clearly have no idea what ruining a life means if you think your life is ruined right now." Luca snapped at her. "If you want me to really ruin you, then just say the word. I am willing to bet that I can make you so fucking miserable that you'll kill yourself for me." He glanced over at her, his eyes narrowing a bit before focusing back on the road. "And believe it or not, I wasn't too keen on marrying you so as far as I'm concerned, you're already on thin fucking ice."

Luca's blood started to boil as Aelia continued to poke at him, especially concerning Dedushka. He suddenly slammed on his breaks in the middle of the street. "Get out of my car." He growled at her.

@ BearGirl
The sound of the tires squealing met Aelia's ears before she realized that Luca slammed on the car's brakes. She flew forward slightly, causing the seatbelt that she had strapped across her chest to dig into her skin as it prevented her from getting any serious wounds from slamming into the front dash of the car.

Bouncing back into her seat once the car was at a complete standstill, Aelia glared over at Luca as he yelled at her to get out of the car. "Think about it, Luca! My life was fine before you stepped into it!" Aelia yelled at Luca as she took her seatbelt off and opened her door. "You need me a hell of a lot more then I will ever freaking need you! You fucking asshole!" Aelia yelled as she got out of his car and slammed the door shut.

Stepping away from the car, Aelia started to walk in a direction that clearly wasn't going to take her home. She knew that, and frankly, she just wanted to get lost and forget about everything. Forget that she was married to a jerk, forget that she just had dinner with some mob boss, to forget that her whole life was like some kind of fucked-up drama.

(Aelia's gonna go to a club/bar in the next post or two, Luca can play hero because she's gonna get drugged~ If you're cool with that?)

@ FallenHope95

Once Aelia slammed the door to the car, Luca's windows rolled down. He turned towards her and started to shout out of the window. "If it wasn't for me, you would already be buried eight feet under! If anything, you should be thanking me for needing you! Ungrateful bitch! Now find you're own way home. Whore yourself out if you need to, I don't fucking care."

With that, Luca slammed down on the gas and started to speed down the road. He didn't want to deal with her bullshit anymore. Aelia was lucky that Luca was above beating his wife. Because, if he wasn't, she would already be all black and blue.

(Sounds good to me! If you set it up in the next post, I'll have him swoop in )

@ BearGirl
The cool night air seemed to help Aelia calm down her temper. In fact, she didn't even know why she was mad or what had made her snap so harshly at Luca. They were just having a conversation in the car, and then, boom. They were yelling at each other and then here she was. Walking down the street in her heels, feeling like she was about to fall over at any moment because her legs hurt so much.

Pounding music met Aelia's ears and as she lifted her head, he couldn't help but feel a small sense of relief. It was a club, which meant she could sit somewhere and get a drink of some kind. Hopefully, water to help clear her mind, but at this point, she was parched and didn't care.
Walking towards the club, Aelia was surprised that the bouncer at the door just let her in. Saying something that pretty girls don't deserve to be walking outside alone.

Walking to the bar, Aelia leaned against the counter and waited to get the waiter's attention. And before she could even ask for a drink, one was put in front of her. "From the man at the other end." The bartender said as he gave the girl an odd look before turning away. Lia didn't notice the look, or else she would have known that something was up. Raising the drink, Aelia tasted the sweet taste of a strawberry daiquiri, and a small sigh escaped from her as her parched throat felt some relief.

Then, the next thing she knew, a strong arm was helping her slowly slumping body stand up. "Come on, let's take you home." The voice said calmly, it was deep and quite manly. "Hmm, home sound gooooood." Lia slurred as she stumbled after the man. Her body leaning against his as they walked.
Slowly, Lia raised her head after a moment and realized that they weren't heading towards the exit. "We, we pasted did it," Lia mumbled quietly as she weakly tried to stand up and head towards the exit. "Hey, calm down. We're just gonna have some fun first." The guy, who now sounded quite nasty said as he pulled Lia into the nearest restroom and pushed her onto the counter. "Let's see what's under these." He murmured as he reached up and hitched Lia's dress up, and pulled her panties down to the ground.

By the time that Luca parked in the driveway of their home, he was beginning to calm down. He was still irritated over what just occurred between him and Aelia, damn that woman was so annoying. But he was getting to the point where he at least thought it was wrong of him to throw her out of the car like that. It was dark, and the city had creeps all over.

With a small sigh, Luca pulled his phone out of his pocket and pulled up the GPS tracker on Aelia. He could see that she had made her way to a bar close to where Luca had thrown her out. The man rubbed his face before pulling the car out of the driveway and making his way towards the bar. Hopefully, Aelia would give him a bit of a break when he came to pick her up. He didn't want to fight with her about driving her home.

Once he was parked outside of the club, Luca glanced back down at the GPS to confirm that this was the place. He then pushed his phone into his pocket and headed inside, throwing some cash at the bouncer in order to do so. While there was a lot going around in the club, many people moving about, it wasn't all that large. Within a minute or so, Luca could see that she wasn't in the main area.

Luca pushed his hair back with a sigh as he made his way towards the restrooms. Maybe she was in there? Feeling no shame, Luca started to just push the doors open to the bathrooms, and lucky for him, he found Aelia in the first one. But the moment his eyes were on her, his blood started to boil. Aelia was now on top of a counter, her panties off and some rough-looking man on hovering over her. He didn't need to be a genius to realize what was going on here.

Immediately, Luca jumped into action and punched the jaw squarely in the jaw. Any weaker man would have fallen easily from that one hit, but unfortunately for Luca, this was a rather big fellow. The two of them traded hits, the man even slamming Luca into a wall. But the moment Luca was able to get him into a chokehold, it was all over. Soon the man was unconscious on the ground and Luca was pressing a hand to his bloody head.

"Are you okay?" Luca asked her, his voice coming out rougher than he intended.

@ BearGirl
Drugs running through her system, Aelia was pretty certain that she was doing her damn best to fight this guy back. Aiming to claw at him, kick him, do anything in any sort of fashion to get him away from her. Sadly, in reality, All Aelia had managed to do was barely squirm as the man easily pushed her hands away and was between her legs, preventing her from being able to kick him.

Tear started to well up in Aelia's eyes as she wondered if this was it for her. If this was going to be how her first time went. How her life, in general, was going to end. That the man was going to take advantage of her and then kill her like some animal on the street that had rabies. Not a care in the world.

Then, it was like a miracle because it was barely an instant later that the man was away from her and someone was attacking him. Using this as her chance. Lia slowly brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them as she let her cries of fear out. "I-I wanna go home." She slurred as she listened to the men fight, knowing that she wouldn't be able to get past them as they brawled in the bathroom.

Once it quieted down, and the second voice met Lia's ears. Her head perked up slightly as she glanced up. More tears starting to well up in her eyes. "Luca." She cried out and moved to slide off fo the counter and move towards him, only, she couldn't stand because of the drugs in her system and ended up falling to her knees on the cold dirty ground.

@ FallenHope95

"Jesus Christ." Luca muttered as he watched Aelia fall onto the ground of the bathroom floor. The man closed his eyes for a moment before walking up to the unconscious man and kicking him hard in the head, wanting to make sure that he would stay down for a while.

Feeling better about the knocked out asshole, Luca walked back to Aelia. Leaning down, he took the young women into his arms, and carried her bridal style out of the bathroom and through the bar, snapping at anyone that tried to get in their way. Soon, Luca had gotten Aelia to the car. With some difficulty, he opened the passenger door and slid in her. But, this time he didn't leave her right away. Instead, Luca leaned over Aelia and put her seatbelt on for her. His hands then reached up and started to wipe her tears with his fingers as gently as he could.

"Did he... did he do anything to you?" Luca asked her with as soft of a voice he could manage. Though there was still fury boiling underneath the surface. 'What happened?"

@ BearGirl
The feeling of knowing that Luca had just saved her was like winning the Nobel prize. She was beyoung thankful for him. She was beyong happy that he had put those trackers in her, he was beyong happy that he knew where she was at all times, because if he didn't. Then she wasn't sure what would of happaned had he not come to get her.

A small sniffle escaped from Aelia as she felt her head spinning a mile a minute. The smell of Luca's cologne, the feel of his arms as he held her, carried her, and just touched her caused her whole body to feel like it was on fire. "H-he jus just touched me." Lia squeaked out as she brought her legs up once more to curl up on the seat. She closed her eyes shut, not wanting to look at Luca's beautiful face at the moment.

"He, bought me a drink, an then I don't know." She mumbled quietly, her words coming out slowly as the drugs full effects started to take over her body.

@ FallenHope95

Luca shook his head a bit at Aelia's words. He reached into the glove compartment and pulled out some towels, pushing them int Aelia's lap. Luca pulled some off of the roll before moving them into Aelia's hand and then gently wiped her face. "It is okay. Everything is okay now. You are with me, and no one is going to hurt you when I am protecting you."

"Okay, now you're not going to feel like yourself for an hour or so but I promise that you'll start to feel back to normal soon. I just need you to breathe deeply, okay. Just breathe and try to relax. Everything is going to be okay. We will be home soon. Now, I need to make a quick call but stay right here. I'll be right outside your door, the car will be locked. Just focus on breathing." Before Aelia could argue with him, Luca closed the car door and then pulled out his phone, calling some of his men.

A minute or so later, Luca got into the driver's side of the car and started to pull away from the club. "We are going to head home. You can rest there. And just remember to breathe. Just relax. If you fall asleep in the car, that is okay. I'll bring you safely to our bed."

@ BearGirl
Everything that escaped from Luca's mouth sounded like mumbled and the whole world seemed like it was getting blurry. Lia felt like she was going to be sick, but didn't voice that because she didn't trust her mouth. Drugs and alcohol were not her friends at the moment and she sure as hell didn't want to try anything.

Before they could even leave the club, Aelia was out like a light. Curled up in her seat in the car. Her body facing Luca's and a hand reached out to hold onto the sleeve of his suit jacket, a small action she did to make sure that he didn't leave her again.

@ FallenHope95

Luca was careful on the drive home not to speed or hit over too many bumps on the way. He knew that the drugs probably had her out cold, but he didn't want to make things worse when she was already not feeling well. So it took him a little longer to get home, but Luca was pleased with his driving when he did pull into the driveway.

The man then headed over to the passenger's side door and carefully picked Aelia up and carried her into the house. Once they reached the bedroom, he laid her down on the bed. The man hesitated for a moment, trying to decide if he should change her out of her outfit. But thought it was best not too. He didn't want her yelling at him in the morning because he saw her naked. But, Luca did take the time to wipe the makeup off of her face.

Once she was nicely tucked into bed, Luca got ready for bed himself before moving to lay on the couch. Something that he probably would never do again...but, still, seemed necessary for this one night.

@ BearGirl
It wasn't until the next day that Aelia woke up. The mixture of exhaustion, alchohol and date rape drugs in her her system making for a rather strong sleeping pill for the young woman. Her arms tightened their hold on the pillow that she was clinging to as if her life depended on it. Her whole body curled around it, and then her legs stretched out as a yawn escaped from Lia.

Slowly, she opened her eyes as her other senses started to wake up as well. The smell of Luca was radiating off of the pillow and as she looked down, she realized why. It was his pillow, and she had drooled all over it in her sleep.

Then, she slowly moved to a sitting position and scooted her back to rest against the headboard of the bed. She didn't care that it was Luca's pillow that she grabbed, she still craved that man's protection, even as she tried to remember why she was so tired and didn't feel good. Placing Luca's pillow on her knees, Lia wrapped her arms around her knees and leaned into it face first. Groaning as she felt a whirl of nausea washing over her.

@ FallenHope95

Luca had woken up early in the morning. Despite everything that had happened the night before, he still had things he needed to do and people that he needed to check on. Though, the man took a moment to look over Aelia to ensure that she was doing okay before he headed down to the basement.

Once breakfast came rolling around, the man made his way upstairs to the kitchen. Normally, he would expect Aelia to already be cooking for him. But, Luca was sure that she was still knocked out cold on the bed. And it was up to him to take care of her today, not the other way around. He may not hold any actual love for the women, but he didn't want anything bad to actually happen to her. Even if they barely saw eye to eye, Luca preferred she make it out of this relationship alive, and better off.

Deciding to just do something easy, Luca cut up some fruit, made some toast and filled up a glass of water. He headed upstairs to the bedroom. If Aelia was not up yet, he would need to wake her up. And if she was, she needed to eat something before she only grew sicker.

As he headed inside, Luca saw that Aelia was sitting up and curled up into herself. She probably didn't feel very good after everything she had ingested last night. Though, he would still ask. "How are you feeling?" Luca asked as he moved to the side of the bed. He set down the plate and the water on the bedside table. "Normally, I wouldn't suggest eating in bed, but... well I made you some breakfast and you should eat it."

@ BearGirl
At the sudden voice that met her ears, Aelia couldn't help it as she flinched. Her mind instantly reeling at the sound of a males voice. Blurry memories of the night before flashing in her mind. "Ugh, like I was hit by a semi," Lia mumbled quietly as she slowly sat up straight. Her eyes were bloodshot from the cocktail of whatever drugs that man had put into her drink. Aelia couldn't help but to since as she raised her hands to rub her eyes softly, they itched and burned at the same time.

"Thank you," Aelia said quietly as she felt another wave of nausea wash over her. Slowly, Lia lowered her hands to her lap and glanced at the food that he had prepared for her. It wasn't much, which she was thankful for because a heavy breakfast sounded like a terrible idea to her. "What, what happened last night?" Lia asked quietly as she slowly reached out for the glass of water. Her hand was a little shaky as she reached out, but as she grasped the cup and brought it to her lips for a few sips. It slowly grew stronger.

Then, she set the glass down and leaned back into the headboard once more. A small tired sigh escaping from her. "Did you eat yet?" Aelia asked quietly, knowing it was her job to cook for him. The possibility that the man didn't know how to cool crossed Aelia's mind, but she didn't want to start a fight today. She honestly just wanted to sleep.

@ FallenHope95

"You're welcome." Luca told her softly. He could see that she was still having a hard time, though that was to be expected. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if she spent the rest of the day in bed. But, by tomorrow, Aelia would be back to normal and should be able to function without any problems. Though a small frown came over Luca's face as she asked what happened. He glanced off to the side before beginning to tell her what happened, not wanting to look Aelia in the face as he did so. "Well, you went to a bar and drank a lot of liquor. When you were there, one of the patrons put a date rape drug in your drink. He managed to get you into the bathroom and onto the counter with your panties off. But, before anything happened, I was able to track you down."

The man cleared his throat a little bit before continuing on. "I took care of the man who tried to take advantage of you before bringing you home. You were already fast asleep before we got here so I carried you up to the bedroom. That is why you are still wearing yesterday's clothes."

With all of that said, Luca stood up and took a few steps away from the bed. "I know you probably don't feel well but you really should eat. it will help calm your stomach. And I have already eaten today. You don't need to worry about me today as I can take care of myself. So take the time to rest, you are going to need it.'

Luca then turned and started to make his way out of the room.

@ BearGirl
Listening to Luca fills in the flashing imaged in her mind caused Lia's blood to run cold. As she listened to her husband, the smell of the man's breath started to fill her nostrils once more. The feel of his grabby hands on her clammy skin sending shivers down her spine and she instinctively wrapped her arms around her torso.

Closing her eyes, Aelia listened to Luca's last few words. Letting her mind settle for a couple of moments more before she opened her eyes and looked to her savior, her kidnapper, and her husband. "Luca," Aelia called out once more as she watched the muscular man moving towards the door. "Thank you for saving me." She said quietly and then quickly rolled over on the bed so that he couldn't see the blush that was covering her cheeks. Those were the nicest words she'd said to him in a while, and they sent a strange feeling to fill her stomach.

The rest of the day Aelia had stayed in bed and slept. Picking at the fruit that was on the nightstand for her. It had taken her the whole day to eat it, but Aelia eventually did. An she was very thankful that Luca had brought it for her because, without it, she was sure she wouldn't feel as better she currently was. Which, still wasn't perfect, but she at least felt better.

"So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover, That I know you can't afford." Aelia sings quietly to the song that played from her phone as she flipped the omelet that she was making for Luca. Over the course of the weeks they've lived together, she quietly picked up on things that he liked, and didn't like. "Bite that tattoo on your shoulder, Pull the sheets right off the corner, Of the mattress that you stole." Lia's bright green eyes focused on the omelet as she plated it and placed a couple of strips of bacon that just finished on the plate as well as some sausage links.

Grabbing his plate, Aelia walked towards the dining room and set it down at the head of the table. Then, she went back to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of orange juice for him before she grabbed her plate and did the same thing. Except, on the other side of the table. Her plate consisting of scrambled eggs instead of the fancy-looking omelet that she had made for the dangerous man.

Sitting down in her chair, Aelia sighed in exhaustion. Her muscles were still tired of feeling from the other night. Turning her phone off, Aelia tucked it into her soft black PJ pants and straightened the straps on her grey PJ tank top as she waited for Luca to join her for breakfast.

@ FallenHope95

Unlike the night before, Luca had gone back to sharing a bed with Aelia. When he came in for the night, it was clear that Aelia was feeling better than she had. And there was no reason as to why she couldn't share the bed that night. He slept soundly, finally getting some of his rest back after sleeping on the couch. Though, once morning came, he woke as usual and made his way down to the basement to get some work down.

When it was time for breakfast to be served, Luca made his way upstairs and towards the dining room. He expected to see Aelia there with his breakfast. Why would it not be? The worst that the woman should be feeling at this point was a headache, according to his calculations. Though, Luca supposed it was hard to say what exactly the man put in her drink... well, whatever it was, he was sure she should be back to normal.

As he walked into the dining room, Luca was pleased to see that Aelia was sitting in her seat and his food was in front of his chair. "Thank you," Luca said softly as he sat down. Normally, Luca wouldn't say much about the meal unless he loved it or hated it. And he certainly didn't thank her for making him breakfast...however Luca was in a good mood and he felt rather relieved that he didn't have to worry about Aelia anymore.

Silence came over the room as Luca started to eat his omelet. Though, after a few minutes, Luca started to speak. "How are you feeling today?"
