*Warning. This chapter contains a little bit of smut.**Isabella Russo's POV*I was walking down to class when someone yelled my name from behind."Hey Bella! Wait." Pretending like I didn't hear the person, I increased my pace, hoping to avoid whoever didn't want to leave me alone."Bella. Stop" He placed his hands on my shoulder and unfortunately I couldn't fake being deaf or unable to feel his hands on me so I stopped and turned."Hey Charlie. What's up" I say with fake euthusiasm. Charlie is one of my classmates, who apparently likes me since first year. But I've been avoiding him my whole time since then because why not?Everyone expected us to date because apparently the 'queen' and 'king' has to be together. But no thanks. Don't even know why they tagged me as that."What do you want Charlie?" I ask again when I notice he has been staring at me without saying anything. My cheek hurting because of the fake smile I had on for too long. He shakes his head snapping out of whatever

I stared at the car which stopped a few distance away from my house, it stayed there for a while, before it drove off once again.It's been a few weeks since I started seeing that car around me, at first I thought it was a coincidence, maybe a student with a car staying around. But it has been showing up everywhere and anywhere I go. Maybe it was Andrei asking someone to keep an eye on me, but for some reason I wasn't bothered and wasn't about to panic.I opened the door, walking into my house and shutting it behind me, making sure it was locked.It's been two years since I left Italy, two years without Nico and two years since I started all over in a place no one knew me.Andrea decided to go to fashion school at the last minute so we were separated, not that I minded.It was nice to be in a place without anyone staring at you with pity at every minute, waiting for you to break down so they could wrap their arms around you and tell you everything was going to be alright.It was sicke

*Isabella Russo's POV*Prom day went by fast, which I obviously missed and finally it was graduation day, the day everyone has been waiting for to come. Everyone except me of course, I just wanted to be over and done with all these. I sat on my own waiting for Andrea to arrive. She was the only one I could lean on today.I was wearing my graduation gown over a plain shirt and baggy jeans.Andrea talked about it all she could, but I didn't care that it was "D graduation", I want it done.l s I could start a new beginning.I didn't bother telling Andrei it was today because he would be busy and things like this didn't interest him, I don't want to bother him. But it didn't matter along as I was finally leaving this place. "Why are you looking so lost? You should be happy that finally we are leaving this school" Andrea said, sitting beside me and snapping me out of my daze. She held m e tightly, gluing her sweaty body to mine and I wondered what she did to be that sweaty."You do know tha

Isabella Russo's POVThings were becoming a bit better and Andrea always stayed with me and made me forget the pains I suffered earlier. School was going well and my finals were coming up soon. The days of my high school was coming to an end. And I could remember vividly when Nico promised to attend my graduation. What a jerk, I had come to accept his death and live a free life but doubted loving again."Bella, can I see you for sec," the principal requested as I was crossing the hallway with Andrea. "Thank you for your audience, I was wondering if you would like to be the valedictorian of the year. It's like I'm imposing it on you. But you have the highest grades so far and I don't know if..." She starts, staring at me and hoping I would accept. S"I will take it, the speech, I will say it. After all I earned it for myself. It would also be a great start for me in college," I smiled easing her tension. Everyone in school knew about my tragic story. They were avoiding me mostly and

Isabella Russo's POVThe funeral took place at the Perez's burial ground. As usual, everyone wore black and stood in line waiting for me to place the last flower on his coffin and say my final wordsNot that I was ready to say my final words to him, I wasn't ready to let him go.I was not allowed to cry because it would be a sign of a bad omen. In the mafia, Don's were to be respected till the very end. Crying would only mean that he was weak and didn't live a good life. I held my tears back and stood in front of Nico's coffin. Inside, his face was covered I couldn't even see his face for the last time. This was the part where I hated the mafia tradition. I couldn't see his face as I said my goodbye. And Andrei safi wasn't even allowed to say my farewell here to me. The mafia rules are against such. I really felt pathetic doing this, my tears were pending and the mourning crowd was waiting for my words."You have to speak Bella, the time is ticking," Andrei stepped to my side prompti

Isabella Russo's POVI froze in shock when Andrei dropped the bomb on me. "He lost a lot of blood and before we could save him...""You are lying to me. That's an on obvious lie Andrei. Please tell me you are joking. It's impossible, Nico can't leave me here alone," I held his shirt tight hoping that he would tell me that it was all a joke. But he didn't, instead he held me in his arms and let me cry on his chest.I got angry when I wasn't let to see his body. I wanted to confirm his death and and actually believe that Nico left me but Andrei didn't let me. He carried me away from the hospital and drove me back home.For two weeks, I refused to eat or talk to anyone. I couldn't believe that Nico was no longer with me. And the longer I waited, the more I felt his absence.He was gone for good and I couldn't get myself to accept it. I was fully healed and able to move on my own thanks to my consistency intake of the medicine. Andrei handled most of the activities in the mafia while I tr

I walked down the hallway, my mind filled with confusion and guilt. I had left Luca's room in a rush after kissing him, I couldn't stand seeing the look on his face when I broke off our kiss. To me, it felt as if I was deceiving him, and maybe I was. I had kissed him less than thirty minutes after his brother touched me and I felt dirty. The kiss with Luca still lingered on my Lips but it didn't feel right. Not in the way it should have. Not in the way it felt with Saint.And for some reason, my thoughts kept spiraling back to Saint; I couldn't forget the way he looked at me when I was with his brother.Like I had betrayed him.Why does he have this effect on me? I chose Luca... didn't I?And besides, Saint had Ciara so it really shouldn't matter much. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.At that moment I just needed to escape and clear my head to figure out what the hell I was doing.Before I realized it, the mansion's familiar corridors gave way to unfamiliar doors

I swallowed hard, my pulse racing as both brothers stared at me, waiting for an answer.They had just put me on the spot and I was forced to face my emotions.Two pairs of eyes pinned me to the spot, both the same color but they held different emotions.My mind was scrambling, searching for something, anything that would clear the tension between them.Wait, what was I stressing myself over?.. I could just say the truth, what was the point in lying? It was Luca’s room after allLuca is my boyfriend. I was standing in front of Luca's door. I had come here to see Luca.Isn't that what I should say since it was the truth? So why was I hesitating?Was it because of Saint?“I came for Luca,” I said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. “This is his room, isn't it? I didn’t know you’d be here, Saint.”Saint’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening as my words hit him.He was expecting me to pick him...He wanted me to say that I was here for him, but why was that?I didn't know he would be

I leaned against the wall, my chest still heaving from what happened with Saint.What was he trying to gain by doing that?Wasn't it bad enough that I was already conflicted?He just had to come and make me feel things I didn't want to feel.And the look he had given me, 'You belong to me.' But I was with Luca now, why doesn't he understand that?!'But Lucas doesn't make your heart race just like he does.' That tiny voice in my head said and I knew it was right.But still, what had I done? Luca is the one I'm dating, not Saint.I shouldn’t have let him touch me. Worse, I shouldn’t have wanted it. Yet, I had stood here silently, still wanting more.A lump formed in my throat as I slid down the wall, resting my head against my knees.I didn't go through all these problems while I was with Daniel.I don't recall what he had done to me these past two years that I had forgotten, but I'm certainly giving relationship advice to the boy I liked wasn't going to be one.Heck, if Daniel found o

I felt Natalie's eyes on me, and I tried to ignore it, but it was difficult to. Eating was difficult with her eyes pinning me down, threatening to suffocate me. "Micini, don't you think you have some explaining to do?" Natalie asked and I finally raised my head to look at her. Her eyes held fury as they flickered between Luca and me. She looked like I had wronged her so much and I struggled to find out how.I had simply started dating Luca even though I had no feelings for him, I didn't do anything wrong."Don't question her, Natal-" Luca started, but Natalie was quick to cut him off. "Oh. Stay away from this. You have zero rights to put your unneeded opinion in my business," She hissed, glaring at him. "Your business but yet you're questioning my girlfriend about our relationship," Luca fired back, maintaining eye contact with her.They both looked like they were about to have each other's throats any moment from now.I looked between them both, unsure of what to do. Natalie s

_Micini's POV_I had gone to Natalie's room immediately after that, Luca not letting me go see Saint like I wanted to. He kissed my forehead before I went into the room, but for some reason, I didn't get butterflies like I should have. It felt different from when Saint touched my skin and I didn't like it. I pushed open the door slowly, worried that Natalia would be awake but luckily for me her legs were sprawled out on the bed as she snored lightly. I smiled a little at the sight, her comfort never failing to amuse me. I immediately walked to the bed, pushing her legs aside and lying down next to her. The warmth of the blankets wrapped around me and I tried my best to sleep but I was unable to. My thoughts ran at a thousand miles per hour and I struggled to stop them. Luca's kiss on my forehead lingered in my mind. He said we were dating before I lost my memories, then I must have had some kind of feeling for him. Then why didn’t I feel the same as when Saint had missed me.

My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach, goosebumps rising on my arms.The guard instantly placed himself in front of me, gun in hand.Why did the lights go off? And who has opened the door? Thoughts of Daniel coming to take me away filled me with fear, and I grabbed the guard's shirt. If anything he was going to protect me. "Who's there? Show yourself!" He growled, cocking the gun. There was a figure at the door but we were barely able to see his face. Silently, he stepped towards us and I took a step back, my heart racing in my chest. I was so close to having a heart attack and peeing myself. Just when I was about to scream, the lights came on and Luca stared at me with a confused expression.He looked like he was surprised to see us both here, staring between me and the guard. "Luca?" I hissed, stepping away from the guard who instantly lowered his gun.Luca took out his earphones, looking between me and the guard."What are you doing here?" I hissed at him. I was so terr

_Third Person POV_Ruelle stared up at the building, a slight smile on her face. She left school earlier than normal just to come here to see Killian. Killian wasn't aware of her visit, but she thought to surprise him. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the building, making heads turn to her immediately. Everyone stared at the beautiful lady that just walked in, their eyes widened in awe.The men stared at her with clear interest and lust, eyes roaming over her figure. Who was she is here to see?They wondered. Ruelle ignored the stares she got from people around, she walked up to the receptionist immediately. "Hello, I'm here to see Killian," Ruelle said, smiling politely. She let her eyes roam around the place, nodding in satisfaction to the interior decoration of the place. The receptionist stared at Ruelle with obvious distaste, giving her a once-over. "Do you have an appointment?" She asked, flipping through her book to search for her name. A name she never asked for

_Third Person POV_Ruelle was surprised when she found out that Killain had a hand in the current state of the Lexington Co-op."But how? That's impossible," Edward muttered, staring at the son he had discarded. "What did you think father? You'd plan my accident and expect me to just sit down and take it?" Killian asked. He had taken a different aura and was fierce now. Killian found no need to act weak, they had found out about his sight and legs. What use was it for?How that it was our, he was going to make all those that hurt his people pay. And he was going to start by making the Lexington family go bankrupt. "So what? You made a few calls, am I expected to bow to you now?" Edward asked sarcastically, staring at Killian with hatred. He always disliked this particular son of his and the reasons were quite obvious. Killian didn't bother if they were related or not, if he wanted to get rid of you, he would do so without any hesitation. "A few calls? I only needed to make ju

_Third Person's POV_Edward Lexington looked at Killian in anger and disbelief, unable to believe what was happening. He had done everything he could to make sure that Killian wouldn't be able to walk and see anymore, but what was this that he was looking at?Eileen stared at Killian, her hands clenched into fists by her side. "This could not be happening!" She thought to herself. Her eyes went from Killian who was standing gloriously, to Ruelle who stood by his side with pride. Did she know that Killian could see and walk all this while? Was that why she agreed to the wedding?At this moment, her hatred for Ruelle grew with each passing second. She once again stole what was meant to be hers!Ruelle turned to look at Eileen, noticing the look of anger on her face. "What's wrong Eileen? Why are you still here?" Ruelle couldn't help but ask, a smirk on her face. Knowing the type of person Eileen was, she knew to be cautious of her from now on. "Sister, did you know of Killian's a

_Ruelle’s POV_I tasted copper on my tongue as I turned my head to look at Mrs. Lexington. I wasn't expecting that hit and I ended up biting my tongue hard. The room temperature dropped a bit and I turned to look at Killian. ..his hands were folded in a fist and it seemed like he was holding himself back. “How dare you hit my wife?” Killian growled in anger. Mrs. Lexington grabbed my hair, pulling my head back. I bit back a cry as my eyes watered, letting her do whatever she wanted. “I told you to keep her in check, didn't I? Did you know what your wife has been doing? She has been smearing the Lexington name in mud!” Mrs Lexington exclaimed and I instantly knew that Eileen had said something to her.“What my wife has been doing has nothing to do with anyone and I would appreciate it if you stayed away from our business,” Killian warned, making Mr. Lexington laugh dryly. “Your wife has been going around whoring with men, she bears my surname and yet it's none of our business?!

_Ruelle's POV_I tightened my hold on Killian's hand as he slowly slipped inside me. My fingers dug into his skin, tears swelling in my eyes. “Do you want me to stop?” Killian asked, stopping immediately. He looked at me worried and I shook my head. “I'm fine,” I assured him. His eyes remained on mine as he started moving slowly, watching my face for any sign of pain. Slowly, the feeling of pain was replaced by pleasure and I felt myself wanting more. “Killian,” I moaned loudly, as his pace increased. Killian leaned in to kiss me, swallowing my loud moans. “Fuck, Ruelle,” He growled, taking my tits into his mouth. He sucked on one as he grounded the other with his hand. My arms wrapped around him, my fingers digging into his back. I could feel a building sensation in my lower abdomen and I threw my head back, whimpering. I wanted this, I wanted him. A tear drop rolled down my eyes, the feeling of pleasure and excitement bubbling through me. I could feel my release gett

_Ruelle’s POV_“Wha-what are you doing?” I stuttered staring at him as he walked closer.My heart thumped faster in my chest. The closer he came, the more excited I got. I tried to take a step back but my back met with the wall, and a light gasp escaped my lips. “Do you want a chase? You can't run from me, little mouse,” His voice sent shivers down my spine, making me feel things I wasn't certain I could feel. Killian had closed the distance between us, trapping me between his chest and the wall. I could smell his cologne from how close we were and I took a deep breath. “The last time you were drunk and I couldn't do anything to you. Now, you're going to beg me to stop touching you,” Killian whispered in my ears. His hot breath fanned my neck and I gulped. The worst part of it all was that I wanted him to touch me. My core throbbed harder, and I raised. my eyes to meet his. “Please,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. It only took that one word as a form of consent from
