Part 11

"Hmm…!"

She filled her chest with a big breath and started looking straight into my eyes.

I am Amelya.. the only daughter-in-law in the Kassoli bungalow.. I am Enrico's girlfriend..

She is ready to reveal her past.

"Adriana.. who is Enrico then..?"

I asked, still not knowing about Enrico.

"Hmm…!"

"Enrico.. Enrico Kassoli.. He is the only grandson of the Kassoli generation.."

"That means.. the grandson of Serena Kassoli and Piero Kassoli.."

As she looked at me, asking if she understood what she said, I nodded and looked at her approvingly.

"Enrico is a year older than me.. We grew up together since we were little.. he is indeed very loving.. and he is very greedy for love.."

Her bulbous eyes began to glow.

"Enrico's parents died when he was young.. so he grew up with his grandfather and grandmother.. but he always came to find me.. he wanted to spend time with me."

"His uncle is Piero.. my grandfather's best friend.. we were like one family.. of course Enrico couldn't live a day without me... my parents became his parents.. We really lived very happily at that time, Amelya. ."

I looked at her in pain as those happy, shining eyes proved that she was lost in the distant past.

"Even when Enrico was a young man, that affection did not change, Amelya.. He worried about my care more than anyone else.. So.. I loved him a lot.. I craved his affection as much as he did, Amelya.. "

There were two teardrops glistening at the corners of those eyes.

Even my grandfather, Piero, was very willing to see me and Enrico get married.. Although Enrico didn't say he loved me, I knew he really loved me, Amelya."

"But with time, everything was destroyed, Amelya.. No matter how much I loved him, he started rejecting me.. He was close to me.. He started to distance me little by little.."

She covered her face with her hands and started crying.

"Oh God, Adriana.. if you are crying like this.. let's not talk about this."

I said sadly, stroking her head as she sobbed and sneezed.

Although I should have known all these facts, I certainly did not have the ability to dig through the past that filled her eyes.

"No, Amelya.. you must know all this.. only then..."

Pulling her nose up, she stopped what she was saying and started looking at me. Unable to understand the emotions on her face, I looked at Aye silently.

"That's when.. I feel relieved, Amelya.. "

As she looked at me innocently, I pressed her long fingers into my hands and approved of her.

"The root of all this was that evil Serena.. She wanted to take Enrico under her control.."

I couldn't believe anything she said, I looked at her with bewildered eyes.

How could I believe that Mrs. Serena I saw was such an evil grandmother.. I had never seen even a hint of malice in those innocent eyes until now. But, of course, I don't know about this past Adriana. So, I finally decided that I should listen to her, as I can't jump to conclusions about a past I don't know anything about.

'Hmm…!'

"I don't believe it, do you? Like you, Amelya, I did not share your belief. I loved her that much."

"But when I realized she wasn't the Serena we knew, I was too late."

"I thought.. that she was very friendly to me.. but.. I had to realize that she was really jealous of me, even though I didn't want to.."

She keeps looking towards Kassoli bungalow and says.

"What is the reason for you to accuse her like that, Adriana..?"

My unbridled tongue was ahead before I could even think.

"I don't accuse anyone without a reason, Amelya."

She looked at me very sadly.

"Oh, I.."

"No, Amelya.. what you think is fair.."

She repeated her avoidance of me.

"Grandpa Piero suddenly left for Rome for a while.. for six months.. while he was there... a young woman came to the Kassoli bungalow alone with Serena.."

Her eyes were red with anger. In a word, that look was terrifying. Unable to do anything or think of disturbing her, I was afraid, but because I had to listen to her, I finally watched her in silence.

"Six months passed.. Grandpa Piero couldn't come here.. In the meantime.. In the meantime, everything that shouldn't have happened inside the Kassoli bungalow, Amelya."

The voice was getting louder. Her eyes curled the couch blanket with her fingers, all those expressions were becoming more and more intense.

"The maid who came to that bungalow finally took my Enrico away from me forever.. All of that was helped by that evil group, Amelya.. She was with Enrico..."

I am still looking at her with pleading eyes as she talks through her teeth.

I sensed to some extent that she had misunderstood everything, but I did not bend my tongue enough to say so.

Although she should have understood that love cannot be acquired by force, I looked at her with a feeling of pain, realizing that she had misunderstood it all.

"I didn't know that she took Enrico away from me until she finally became a pregnant mother.. I lost my Enrico, Amelya.. I lost my Enrico forever.."

So it is clear that I have misunderstood. I finally realized that the girl from the diary I had read the day before was not Adriana; that girl was the maid of the Kassoli bungalow.

'So this is Adriana...?'

The moment I thought that, she raised her voice again.

"When those things became unbearable.. I was ready to take revenge on myself, Amelya.. I didn't know what to do except take revenge on me, Amelya..."

She covers her face with her hands again and breaks her breath. But I was so dumbfounded that I couldn't even stop her. The wind blowing through the open window shutters was too cold to withstand this. Unable to bear the icy coldness that pierced my skin even through my thick fur coat, I hugged my skin with my arms.

Adriana was saying something else, but at a moment when none of it settled in my mind, as if by chance, my eyes stopped on the rather tall carved mirror placed at the end of the room.

'My goodness..! '

My disbelieving eyes turned to Adriana again. At the same time, my legs began to tremble, my whole head began to explode and hurt, and this body, which was full of unbearable coldness, started to burn.

I don't know why I was so late to see that her face in front of me as such a beautiful woman was completely different from the image drawn on the mirror.

"I took revenge on myself, Amelya.. I... I took my own life, Amelya.. When I wanted to take revenge on them.. I took my own life...!"

That voice.. Her distorted image in the mirror.. started to take my breath away. Unable to speak a word, my entire being was on fire.

It started to rain. I got up from the couch just in time to see in the mirror how she was ripping the sheets of the couch with her long, pointed fingernails that had grown black. Her decayed image, which was clearly visible in the mirror, appeared in hundreds, and the mirror began to crack. Seruiji's bungalow, which had looked so grand, had turned into a dark, scary, deserted bungalow in no time.

It was too late when I felt myself caught in the pretense in that desolate garden, which had been so long a dark event. Be that as it may, I must get out of here anyway. I have to get out of here before her face, which is still turned to the ground, falls on these eyes..!

I started my trembling legs and ran away from the room using all the energy I had..!

"Haahahhh…hahha…!"

I could hear her maddened laugh as she watched the entire event, fearing the sound of bats hanging on the rotted beams of this deserted bungalow covered in darkness, and the sound of the bass playing in the distance.

With that scary sound, I turned my back on her and squeezed my eyes shut. At a moment when I felt as if my feet were frozen and I could not move forward even one more step, that scary voice started to sound again.

"Where are you going, Amelya…?"

"How did you think to get rid of this Adriana so easily..?"

Her footsteps were very close to mine, telling me that these were the last few seconds of my life.

She has finally come before these eyes. Her protruding gray eyes were too scary to look at. The scratched wounds all over that pale skin, the pair of teeth that extended like spikes, and that cruel smile that made me suffocate. All of a sudden, her sharp claws began to rub all over her pale body, spreading the energy that flowed from her body. She is stepping towards me with her head tilted to one side, her gray eyes bulging, and blood mixed with blood flowing between her lips.

"M..let me..let me go..no.."

I had difficulty picking up the words, so I stepped away from her and cried. But, she steps

The steps came right next to me, looking at me and muttering something in a frantic voice.

"You are my next victim, Amelya...!"

"Did you come to save the Kassoli family, eh..?"

She cooed, pressing the sides of my neck with her lustful hands.

"Remember, Amelya, that no power in the world can save your family from that curse until this Adriana is there...!"

"There is very little time left to complete my revenge... and then he is mine... this is Adriana's only...!"

"Haha..haha..haha ha...!"

She burst out, looking at the dark sky through the rotted roof with only rafters.

"I'll call you today..."

The next moment, she started to pierce my neck with that nail while I was suffering from unbearable pain.

"God save me…!"

Unable to get away from her, I started screaming and clinging to her arms, but she started to pierce my neck with those sharp, pointed teeth while I screamed in great pain. I could only feel that my soul was leaving my body, stuck between the pain that was getting worse and worse, and the pain that I could not get out in words.
