♣️BOOK TWO OF THE DE LUCA SERIES
? EPISODE NINETEEN
? FREDERICO ?
Aria saw Red to his room after dinner and tucked him to sleep with a bed time story immediately he slept she turned to see me standing besides her ..
” Good evening ” she said and I just walked over to Red and ki-ssed his cheek.
” C’mon it’s late ” I said and she Avoided eyes contact as we left the room together .
” Where’s my phone ? She asked immediately we walked in .
I guess she noticed it wasn’t on the table where she kept it .
” I changed it …” I said and her eyes met with the carton of the latest iPhone.
It was the latest version and I was sure she’d like it , I mean I knew the Aria I used to know wasn’t flattered by material things .
Her love was genuine ….I wanted her to love me again , just like in the past .
Although I still held a grudge against her for running away on our wedding day a part of me still want the Caring sweet and romantic Aria .
Who cooks for me , Advises and spoil me rotten with her love .
I miss that Aria .
” I want my old phone back Fred ,I don’t want you spoiling me with gifts ” she said and tried walking pa-ssed me but I pulled her with frustration and she sat on the bed with a thud .
“Don’t start with me Aria …you’re my wife now and I have every right to do what I want with my wife …” I said Angrily and she scoffed .
” Thank God you said it yourself ,your wife and not your slave …” She said and I ran my fingers in my hair .
She thinks she’s my slave ? Why would she even think of me like that !
” What do you want ? I snapped and she stared at me.
” I’ve never wanted your money from the start Frederico ….when I loved you I fell for you ….! ” She said voice breaking at the edge and i scoffed .
” This is the me …Aria with the flaws and all ,I dare you to love this me ….that’s when I’d see the love ” I said and tears rolled out of her eyes .
I bent to her level and ate into her lower li-p in a ki-ss and she just cried into my li-ps .
“Let’s talk ” i said and she shook her head .
” Fred I don’t think ….” She trailed.
” We fu-cking need to talk because if the marriage between us need to work , we need to come clean before each other .” I said and she cried .
” Why did you leave the wedding ? I asked and she stared at me .
” Frederico let’s just talk about this some other night ” she said and ru-bbed her arms .
” Aria ….” I called and she cried .
” Fred ” she called as she sniffed back her tears .
” Aria I need to know ! I fu-cking need to know because you have no idea what I went throu-ghwhen you left me I nearly died , if not everything I deserve to know where I went wrong ….!” I snapped angrily and she looked at me
” If you loved me ,…..you could have at least confronted me no matter what happened ….Aria I nearly died ….I got into an accident , I looked for you everywhere I attempted to take my life …I nearly ran mad looking everywhere for you …” I said as I chocked on my voice badly.
” You nearly died ? Do you think it was easy for me Frederico ! I loved you so much , that day was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives but I left because you where never real …the Frederico I fell inlove with was never real …. everything was just what you wanted me to see and believe …you knew about my whole life and everything I knew about the man I was about to marry was a lie
” Tell me how I could have married you ? She asked as she cried .
” What …do you mean ? I asked and she cried .
” I ….’ she trailed as she explained everything ….Every single Detail and at the end of it all I just stared at her in shock .
” I’m sleepy ” she said immediately trying to end the topic .
” I’m …sorry ” I whispered as I ki-ssed away her tears and pulled her into my Arms as she cried .
” I’m so sorry ….Aria …I didn’t wanna loose you , I knew you’d never accept me if I showed. You the Real me ….I just ” I trailed as she cried .
She fell Asleep after sometime and I tucked her in bed before walking out of the room after all I couldn’t sleep .
How could I even sleep after whatever we just discussed .
” Hey what’s wrong ? Don’t tell me she kicked you out of your room ” Sergio asked as he put off the ciggerrate in between his li-ps .
He walked over to the pool side and sat down with his laptop as he worked effortlessly.
Sergio is the typical Genuis and brilliant workaholic who makes sure he’s always Ahead of our enemies ,just in case there’s an attack .
And for now Grace helps him with the Escort business since he’s busy with the De Nero’s case .
I’m still worried about Aria though if she’d ever wanna be a part of the mafia business .
That girl is something else .
” Don’t tell me you’re thinking about your wife again man she got you this whipped Already ? He laughed .
” fu-ck you ” I said showing him the middle finger .
” Hey guys ” Kristov said as he joined us .
He was clad in casuals which made me curious as i looked at him .
” Woah , you’re home tonight ? Whatever happened to the busy innocent Doctor ? I asked teasingly.
” Cut it out I’m not innocent Frederico ” he said and I chuckled softly .
” C’mon Kris is not innocent in anyway he’s as evil ad each an everyone of us …” Emelio said as he joined us with a gla-ss of wine in his hand.
” You think so ? When was the last time you saw him pull a trigger at someone ok forget the fact that he doesn’t like getting his hands dirty ,When was the last time you saw this Mr perfect With a woman ? I asked and they looked at him teasingly.
” What ? Stop looking at me like that I do enjoy a night of plea-sure twice a month ….I’m not an addict ” he said and Emelio and Sergio looked at him in shock whilst I mirrored their expression.
Thank God Mas wasn’t here he’s definitely with his wife and sons .
” Addict ? Forget being an addict man we Deluca’s have an image of being se-x gods … like do you know how ha-rd it’s been for me these few days with Aria given me Attitude and you do it only twice a month ” I asked frowning.
” I don’t even have time for any of that I’ve been busy …” He shrugged.
” No matter how busy I am ,I fu-cking have time for se-x ….man c’mon who does that ? Emelio asked and we all chuckled.
“you’re boring ” Sergio chirped in.
” Wait why are we even talking about my se-x life? He asked as he frowned .
” So Aria threw you out of your room ? Kris asked.
” Nope ….I just …we are still not on good terms and it’s like we keep getting worse …” I said and Emelio frowned
” I don’t get the point man ..she left the wedding and she still gives you Attitude …? Woman are just something else ” Sergio said frowning.
” We still don’t know what our brother here did wrong Sergio , as much as we should Hate her for what happened in the past , Fred also had a part to play in it ” Kris said and raised his eyebrows at me .
” Mr perfect De Luca ….Aria and I where fine okay at least up until the wedding we were Good ….” I said and ru-bbed my ne-ck .
” No Arguments or fights or ….? Emelio trailed.
” None …..We had no fights …She said she found out about my identity and the fact that I knew about the Esposito family being a part of the mafia …her brother Roy …Used to work for the DeNero’s remember and every crime family is connected to us .
” She found out I was connected to Her brothers death and the whole hidden identity stuff , it was all too much to carry on …..” I said and Kris just stared at me like I’ve lost it .
” fu-ck the same Roy …that owed the DeNero’s ? Frederico ! He called shocked.
” I had no idea they’d kill him man how was I even supposed to know ? Huh ….and besides I d….. didn’t wanna loose Aria I fu-cking loved that girl too much ,you of all people should know how much I love Aria ” I said sadly .
” When you love you come clean to her , it feels like she practically fell inlove with a lie from the beginning , it’s gonna be ha-rd to trust you again and now you messed up everything with this for-ced marriage stuff ” Kris said as he leaned on the chair .
” That was the Don’s idea though cut him some slack ,you’re always siding with the sisters inlaw ” ” Emelio shrugged.
” When you see the truth ,you say it man it won’t kill you ” Kris snapped.
” At the end we’re all still proffessional liers …” Sergio said as he smi-rked .
” We talked you know ….and after all these years ….I just …I finally can’t imagine what I put her throu-gh” I said finally allowing myself to be Vunerable before my brothers.
” I hurt her …,I fu-cking hurt her , I was scared …I was scared of loosing her Kris ….I didn’t wanna loose Her . For once in my life I wanted to be selfish….it didn’t end well ” I said and Sergio looked at me .
” Love is fu-cked up ” Emelio said leaning on the chair .
” I’ve never fallen for a woman I don’t even know how it feels like ….” Kris trailed .
” I just ….. I’d see you guys ” I said and walked back upstairs .
Immediately I got into the room I met my wife sleeping soundly on the bed .
I walked over to the bed and sat next to her as my mind went back to one of our crazy moments together .

Flashback
” I promise I won’t be late next time …Aria C’mon …” I pleaded with her as she stared at me with arms folded
” I’m spending the night at my house Fred ,don’t you have a house ? Go home ” she said and I laughed.
” Wherever you go I’m going with you…” I said grinning and she Chuckled.
” I’m not letting you inside my mother’s house Fred , you can’t keep your hands to yourself remember how embarra-ssing it was for me when mom walked in on us the other time …I don’t want a repeat of that …” She said and I hu-gged her from behind.
” We would be silent ” I said and she gasped.
” Hahahaha Fred …” She laughed.
” Okay fine let’s go to my penthouse …” I said trying to convince her .
” I’m sleepy already ….” She said pouting cutely.
” how can you be sleepy When I’m in this condition ….? I asked and she hu-gged me close as she sighed softly.
Seeing the tired look on her face I smiled as I carried her in my arms .
She really needed to rest for the night so I took her to her room and tucked her in bed .
” I love Fred …. goodnight’ she whispered softly as she ki-ssed my li-ps and slept off .
