EpilogueLuciano's POV I tossed on my shirt and stood up from the bed. While heading for the door, I wondered what good news Dante talked about. Presently, I didn't believe that good things could happen to me with how the events were turning out slowly. My life was already a wreck and I felt that nothing else could make it worse. "What's the news?" I asked tiredly, not even sparing him a glance as we made our way to the office. Discussing with my workers wasn't something I did in my bedroom. I felt that it was too private, and I didn't want anyone to feel special just because we conversed in my chambers. "I don't know how to say this," He chewed on his lips which irritated me. "Dante, I don't want to imagine that you made me leave the comfort of my bedroom just so you could show me how nervous you can be," I barked and he shook his head in disagreement. My patience was waning and I was ready to unleash my pent up anger on him if he wasted my time. "Dee has woken up from coma b

Luciano's POV Arianna's smile was still imprinted in my mind, leaving me to ponder on why she was acting like a good person. I guessed that it was the help I rendered towards her, but I couldn't help but doubt her intention towards my son and I. Immediately we were done with the party, I headed for Amara's room to check on her hoping that she would be feeling better already. I knocked on the wooden door and got in after hearing her muffled reply. Walking in to meet her taking a gulp of orange juice from her cup had me smiling. Her eyes scrutinized me with a strange calmness then lowered towards what I had in my hands.A polythene bag which had a plate in it. I brought fruit salad for her since it had a good taste and it was nice for pregnant women. "What are you doing here?" She asked when I was done being searched. "I came to see you since you refused to attend Gio's birthday," I queried and narrowed my eyes expecting an apology but her nonchalant look threw me off balance. "Ho

Luciano's POV The house was bubbling with excitement. It was Gio's birthday and not only was he celebrating a new age, he was going to be inducted into the mafia as a Made man fully. The latter part of the celebration didn't sit well with me because I didn't want him to have anything to with the Familia. It was just too dangerous and I wanted everything to end with me. I took a stroll around the hall to be sure that everything was in place. Though I was sure that Raul had done a good job, I still didn't feel comfortable just sitting around and making people do things for me. Different kinds of aroma hit my nostrils from makeshift kitchen near the hall where the party would take place. I was almost tempted to enter the kitchen and serve myself some food. I was disrupted from my stroll by a shrill cry that sounded from the hallway. I casted a glance at the direction of the noise and I found Shuri running away from Gio. "Be careful!" I let out a warning when Shuri almost tripped, b

Luciano's POV A knock sounded on my door immediately I dropped my phone on the wooden table and sat on the executive chair. It was another day, which meant that I had been given the opportunity to right my wrongs. "Come in," I ordered using my boss' tone. Things were slowly returning back to normal and I didn't expect any retaliation from Massimo's men. They were like sheeps without a shepherd and if he was truly dead, then I'd have to take over his territory. Gio sauntered into my office with a smile plastered on his lips. "What do you want?" My voice came out harshly, though I intended that it sounded nice and warm.He didn't care because his smile only widened. "I like the new father I'm seeing. I wish you'll continue to be like this and nothing will go wrong,"I shrugged in uncertainty. Gio was happy and I knew that Shuri felt the same way. I only hoped that I wouldn't mess things up later. "What will you do with Amara and Shuri?" He asked. "I'm still thinking about that. A

Luciano's POV For the first time in my life, I felt like I did everything right then wrong at the same time. My life was no longer the same with the kind of confusion that had taken a permanent place in my mind. I was so sure that I shot Massimo in the face, but his body was nowhere to be found. That fact alone should have disturbed me because it was common amongst us. Hiding people's body wasn't difficult for me, but I was just taken aback by the speed at which he was taken.I shook the thoughts off my head and went in search of Amara. She was the only one that kept me sane at such trying period. I didn't care if she was going to reject me again, I just wanted to know that her and my baby were fine. "Amara, can I come in?" I asked after knocking twice without getting any response. I smirked when I remembered how I used to barge into her room but now, she had to grant me permission or I'd stay outside for hours. "You can come in," Came her raspy voice. I didn't hesitate in goin

Luciano's POV My eyes blinked incessantly when I realized that I had shot Massimo. I lost the firm grip I had on my gun and I didn't bother picking it up when it fell. This wasn't me. I was always in control and never scared of killing. Seeing dead bodies and weak people plead for mercy before I cut off their heads or pulled a bullet through their heads was fun for me. So why did this feel different? I didn't regret any action I took but right now, I felt like turning the hands of time so I could make things right. I walked briskly towards him to know if he was still breathing but since he laid on his face, I couldn't risk it. Arianna who looked like she was about to faint held my hands while I dragged her away from him. If I couldn't do anything for Massimo, then I could channel my help towards Arianna and her son. "I feel so weak," She whispered and rested her head on my shoulder. "You'll be fine," I grumbled and she nodded. Her unsteady steps slowed me so I placed her on ba

Chapter 29The thought of going to her family dinner and getting scrutinized by her mother made Kate feel annoyed and sad all through the day, she could barely eat.As time for the dinner got closer, her mood dropped drastically. No one, except her, knows why she was not excited about the dinner and she didn't bother to tell anyone. She just zoned out throughout the class, not listening to what the lecturer was saying and hoping that the day would go by quickly.As soon as her lecture ended, she stayed inside the classroom, staring at everyone else as they walked out of the class.Her phone rang, disrupting her peace and she Sighed when she saw the name on the caller ID. It was time, time for her to get eaten up by her mother and queried by her step father.She walked out of the class slowly, didn't bother picking up her mother's call because she knows why she was calling and just got into the taxi.As soon as she got to the dorm, she saw Liam standing in front, waiting for her but pr

Chapter 28 Kate felt oddly calm even after catching her best friend sleeping with someone she liked. It didn't bother her that much because she already knew about it and for some reason, she doesn't care about Liam again as she thought she did in the past.As the car stopped in front of the dorm, she walked in, feeling relieved that she doesn't have to hide the fact that she knows about both of them dating behind her back.She walked into the dorm and took off her clothes before going into the bathroom and having a quick bath. Today was a leisure day for her as there were no lectures and the practice room was temporarily locked so she decided to sit in and watch a movie. She reached into her fridge and grabbed a cup of ice cream and some cake before sitting on her bed and placing her laptop on her lap.The movie was a melodramatic one and halfway through it, she was already sobbing and eating her junk.Staring down at herself, she let out a soft chuckle. Her Mom would have her neck

Chapter 27"Kate!" The harsh voice of her mother sounded in her ears and she winced at the sound."Yes?""Why haven't you been picking up your call? What's going on? I hope you're not going about looking like a tramp and dressing like one?"Grace! That sneaky ass girl! She must have told her mother that she was dressing in cheap clothes and going out.She rolled her eyes, annoyed at the fact that she can't live her life without her mother and her friend interfering."Mom, I don't go around dressing like that besides I'm not a child. Anyhow I want to dress , it's up to me. You shouldn't be bothered by that."Her mother sounded like she sucked in a breath in shock at her statement and didn't say anything for some seconds before she finally spoke."Whatever, Just don't go around embarrassing me."Kate felt irritated at that word "embarrass" because that was all her mother says to her. Don't embarrass me, don't do this, don't do that.She has never had a single moment of freedom to hersel

Chapter 26The ride back from Seth's place was bliss for Kate. She could feel like she was floating in the air and that all her worries were lighter. There was just something about him that made all her problems ease up.He has a way of making her feel much better especially after her mother and the so-called friends that she has , hurts her. There was just something about him, he doesn't have to even do anything and she's already feeling better.She smiled as she remembered the way he was acting around her and the fact that the girls called him a grim guy, someone who doesn't smile when he smiles all the time with her.But there was something that bothered her. When she was at his place, she saw a new laptop on the floor and asked him where he got it. The laptop looked expensive and can afford to get him out of that slum he was living in so she was surprised that he'll get a laptop that expensive when he can barely afford to pay rent for a clean apartment.But his response made it ev

Chapter 25The lecturer was talking, Kate could tell that he was talking only from the movement of his lips but she couldn't hear what be was saying because she was not there. She felt lost.The gathering last night was surprisingly fun, especially with Lucas around and that was the most surprising thing. He didn't make her feel uncomfortable, he tried his best to interact with her without being annoying as usual and that confused her.She couldn't help but wonder maybe he was actually pretending to hate her all this while or maybe he just felt so free last night and was in a good mood.But all these excuses didn't change the fact that Lucas was different around her yesterday and the feeling that he might not hate her after all. She thought back to the time when he saved her from the anger of her mother and father when he told them that he saw her fall off the staircase, Even though he didn't and the mark on her neck was obviously a love bite. Back then, she had though that maybe he

Kate pulled out of the hug and smiled at Grace. It was obvious that they both felt the urge to throw up out of disgust but they still forced a smile on their faces.“Are you going to come for our usual outing? You know I really want to be with you,” Grace said and Kate almost laughed.She wasn't interested in her being there, if anything she was sure that grace just wanted to be with Liam.“Yeah sure. I'll come with you.”Grace smiled and turned to walk into her room, her mind still reeling from the conversation she overheard Kate talking about with someone on the line.Shs couldn't help but wonder if actually Lucas was right about Kate having a boyfriend and a part of her wanted to know who it was , if it was Liam.She quickly bathed and was dressingup just as soon as a knock sounded on her door.“Are you done?” Kate called and she immediately opened the door.“Yeah. Come in, I just have to powder up my face and we're good to go.”She walked towards her mirror and started patting her

It was finally the day I've been waiting for and the thought if it made me feel a flush of emotions.I sat down quietly and allowed the make up artist to apply the make up on my face. I couldn't believe it was really happening — my wedding day but if there was anything I was grateful for, it was that it happened and my mom was seeing today.It made me emotional to think of my mom and how she may have survived but may not likely live long enough to see me have kids.The thoughts of it only sent tears to my eyes but I tried my best to sniff back the tears so I wouldn't think my makeup."You look amazing hunny."It was my mom and her voice was silvery and calm. I could tell from the expression on her face that she was also glad that she could witness the event."It wasn't the saw when I met your father," she said to me. "And I'm glad."I turned slightly and looked at her. "Why?""Because we were so in love and no one approved of our marriage. No one wanted us to be together so it was us

TIFFANY'S POVI looked at my reflection in the mirror as the stylist packed my hair into a bun. A small smile crept on my lips but I couldn't deny the fact that I was anxious.I slightly opened my mouth to exhale and then kept fanning myself with my hands in an attempt to keep myself calm."You look incredible," the stylist said and brushed my hair again. "We just need to touch here a little, uh— then here you go," she said as she finished.I responded with a small smile and stood up. I was ready to join the Coronation and more than anything, I was hoping i'd not have a panic attack."Trust me," she said. "You look amazing. I wish you could see yourself with my eyes."I chuckled because that was a compliment that I didn't really understand."The men are here," she said and opened the door to my room. The two guards were Luciano's men appointed to take care of me through out the day."The dress looks exquisite," the huge one with brown eyes said. "You look beautiful too.""Thank you,"

I couldn't hide how nervous I felt about the coronation and anyone who saw me now would see it.I was dressed in an expensive black Tuxedo with a cream inner shirt. My hair was brushed backwards in such a way that made the curls fall to my side. I sighed and took a deep breath before stepping outside and looking down from the balcony upstairs.I saw the way the hall was decorated in such an exquisite way. The long tables were all placed horizontally and was decorated with ribbons.The strobe light illuminated the room and gave it this view that was eye catching and captivating.I stood there for a moment, admiring the view and trying to get rid of the anxiousness that came with the event.I looked around and in one head turn, I was desperately searching for Tiffany. I had no idea where she could be sitting or even standing but I did everything to search for her with my eyes.As I turned again, my gaze fell on my father."I can hear your heartbeat from miles away!" He said.I turned

"Fuck you," he cussed before ordering his men to stand down.His hand had begun to bleed due to all the force he applied while trying to get the watch off his wrist. The I told you so look was evident all over my face.A part of me felt sorry that he was going through that but all it took was one sharp belly pain to bring me back to my senses, there was absolutely no reason why I should spare Massimo. He stabbed me and proceeded to connive with Gladys to kidnap Tiffany, I couldn't forgive him for that, ever! "Arghh," I yelled out in anger, scaring Massimo and even his men. "Fuck," I screamed again. I enjoyed the way blood was dripping out of his wrist and unto the floor. Massimo stood still with his other hand clutching the arm of a chair. "I want to see you suffer, I want to see you bleed and plead for mercy. I hope you fucking die," I screamed. "I'm sorry Luciano, I really am. It wasn't my fault really, if I didn't stab you, you would have killed me, I'm sorry Luciano," he plead

With my hands on the wheels, father's words rang at the back of my head "it's a very bad idea, you might be working into your own death." I had told him not to worry but I wasn't so sure I wasn't worrying either.Tiffany on the other hand had no idea where I was going, it was normal, I hardly informed her about my whereabouts. But after the drama that took place the other day, I couldn't help but feel like she deserved to know every single detail about me, it was wrong to out her in the dark. My phone's screen lit up that instant as if agreeing with my thoughts to call Tiffany so I picked it and dialed her number. After the third ring, old town road stopped blasting into my ears and I heard her sweet voice instead "Hi Lu.""Committed suicide yet?" I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about."Huh?""Father said you're on your way to commit suicide," trust father to be dramatic about everything. "I just want to let you know that when or if you eventually die, I'll make your b

LUCIANOMy eyes darted around the room looking for nothing in particular. I just kept looking around as my mind wandered back and forth wondering what would happen at the coronation.I was trying to get a mental picture of how it could go but more than the anticipation, I was worried.I could feel it inside my venue that I wasn't very okay knowing the corporation was only a while away.My biggest concern is that I keep thinking of what would happen if I disappoint my father and he isn't satisfied. I tried to brush off the thoughts selling in my head but the more that I tried, the more I got anxious about it. The fact that my brain is wired to please my father just makes everything more and more difficult. I gave a sigh and leaned back on the chair I was sitting. My right hand was on the table in front of me and it randomly raised to touch my forehead.It was something I did unconsciously but the main point was to keep my self calm and try to be as composed as possible.Pieces of p
