Lucia had come into town to visit her father Jimmy, she had hoped their estranged relationship would become better, she didn't even know she had a father till three years ago when her mother died and he came for the funeral, she had gone through a lot in her younger years, her mom struggled to provide and take care of her, finding out she had a father all these while just messed with her emotions. He started calling her and begging her to forgive him which she did after a while, the history between him and her mother wasn't pleasant but still wasn't an excuse to abandon his daughter, but she just depends to let go of the past and try to build a relationship with him.

This was why she came to Sicily from Brooklyn, her mother moved out of the country few years after she was born, she had lost touch with her Italian heritage and hoped this new relationship with her father will put her more in touch with her heritage, her father has invited her to stay with him, she packed up her life in Brooklyn and decided to move to Sicily, everything was settled, her father was going to help her get a job with her law degree and she was going to stay with him until she was able to stay on her own. That was until yesterday, she had just returned home from a jog, when she heard the ruckus downstairs, she got to the top of the stairs amd looked down where the living room was, that's when she saw her father been beaten up by thugs, his eyes caught and and he whispered 'hide'.

The thugs were so engrossed in beating him up they didn't noticed his focus was on who stood upstairs his daughter. Lucia got confused, she didn't know what to do but she knew she could definitely not overpower the five hefty men that stood watch downstairs and definitely not the two men who consistently riddled her father with punches and slaps, she would hear one of the man standing watch ask, 'where is the shipment coming into?'.

Her father didn't answer at first, more blows landed on his faces until he said everything they wanted to hear, it was at the point she walked slowly backwards into her room shaking with fear and confusion, she searched for her phone,' I need to call the police' she said to herself. She searched her room for her phone,l frantically until it dawned on her, she left her phone in the kitchen when she got back and needed a drink. 'oh no!', she cried out, she didn't know she was crying until the salty tears found its way into her mouth. That was when she heard the heavy footsteps coming up the stairs, from the noise and movement she could tell they were dragging her father upstairs.

The door to the room opposite hers opened with a loud bang, her father's muffled screams echoed in her ears as they dragged him into the room, that's when she hid in the wardrobe trying hard to make sure her trembles and whimpers are not heard by the intruders.

She heard them discussing among themselves and then silence, just when she thought it was over that's when she heard the gunshot, her heart skipped a beat her ears ringing, the heavy footsteps she heard earlier going back down the stairs. The silence was terrifying, she was fearstricken, she tried to stand up but her legs could not move, she must have fallen asleep still hidden in the wardrobe.

Hours had passed, she woke up with a start when she heard noises coming from the living room, 'they are back' she thought to herself.

The door to room opened, the person moved around, she waited for the wardrobe door to open but then she heard the person walking back out, she let out a small sign of joy, she was safe. Then the person stopped, oh no the person must have heard me she cried out, the fear returning, her body shaking with fear, then she heard,

' who's there?'.

She kept quiet.

'I'm going to count till three and if you are not out before three I'm going to lot this place up'

She was silent.

'one!'.

She was conflicted, should she come out and beg for her life? Or should she just wait and hope a bullet doesn't hit her?.

'two!'.

Option one it is, she reasoned.

She opened the wardrobe door and shouted ' please don't shoot me', hoping the whoever held the gun would be merciful, the overwhelming sense of fear and terror made her panic and just then everything went black.

* * *

Her eyes opened slowly, trying to adjust to the bright light that shown directly into her eyes,

'you are awake, let me see', a voice said, his hands holding the touch which shown on her eyes.

Her mumbled brain jerked into realization, where am I? She thought, have I been kidnapped?, the fear came back.

She jumped right out of the bed, she wasn't going to allow fear cripple her this time she thought.

She screamed, 'help me', her eyes searching the room for something, anything she could use to protect herself.

' calm down, I am here to help you ', the man said, she got a good look at him, he looked old,, good she thought, I will be able to take him on.

' where am I?, she asked.

' I am Dr Roberto, and I am here to help you, you fainted', the man said gesticulating dramatically as if she could not understand the words coming out of his mouth.

' where am I ?, she asked again, grabbing the bedside lamp and waving it at him as they run round the room, she was trying to run out and he was trying to prevent that.

' calm down, just put the lamp down , I am just here to help you',

' I am going to ask one last time before I hit you, where the fuck am I?', she cried out.

' you are in my boss's house, when we found you, we fainted we just want to help', he explained, pulling his phone out and dialling a number, 'she is awake', he said to whoever he called.

Just then the thought of the earlier events came flooding, her father!.

'i need to go back, please I need to find my Father ', she cried, dropping it lamp, it shattered as it hit the ground.

' oh, I'm so sorry love', Dr Roberto said.

' I need to leave right now ', she said walking out the door, the hallway was huge,the stairs leading downstairs was magnificent, she ignored the aesthetics and ran down the stairs, she got to the bottom of the stairs and stopped, she didn't know where to turn, Dr Roberto following her trail as fast as he could.

He shouted ' hold on, let me explain everything to you'.

Just then a huge figure emerged from the dimly lit room, walking towards them with so such a gait that you could this was a man, as she walked closer she could see his dark hair, chiseled jaw, his lips pouted in a grim way. His deep, dreamy voice bellowed 'where are you going to', as he grabbed her by her upper arms and pulled her towards him.

    She looked at the dark haired guy standing before her holding her arm tightly ' let me go' she said trying to wiggle her way out of his grasp. ' Dr Roberto, what's going on ', another man said, her gaze followed the voice and then she realized she was so focused on the guy holding her that she did not realize there were other people with him, the voice belonged to a guy, he looked so much like the guy holding her, they looked like brothers but this one had a calmer voice. 'She is fine, she is just disoriented from shock', Dr Roberto answered, turning his attention to Lucia he said ' you need to calm down, we know what happened to your father...we are just here to help you'. She looked at the people standing before her, there were about five men in the room all staring at her, the one holding her arm had loosened his grip but was still staring, maybe it would be a good idea to just listen to them she thought. ' Okay, can someone please explain to me what's going on '. She said.

    Two hours after she called him, he came back to the house. "Dr Roberto is close by", he said as he walked up to her. He seemed genuinely worried about her. "It's probably fever", she said, trying to make him less anxious. As they sat in the room, waiting for the doctor, the atmosphere in the room is thick with tension. The quiet ticking of the clock on the wall seems louder, each second stretching out endlessly. Lucia sat on the bedside couch, her legs curled beneath her, her hand resting on her abdomen. The usually plush cushions feel stiff beneath her as if they too are tense with anticipation. She shifted occasionally, unable to find comfort, her face pale, a slight sheen of sweat on her brow.Andretti stood near the window, peering out into the street, his fingers tapping nervously against the glass. The usually calming sound of birds chirping outside goes unnoticed as his mind races. The room felt cold with worry. Every creak of the house settling seems amplified, each sound

    It had been days since Andretti's grandfather's birthday, Lucia sat at the kitchen table, staring at her half-eaten breakfast. The smell of toast and coffee, usually so comforting, now made her stomach turn. She pushed the plate away, pressing her fingers to her temples as a dull headache pulsed behind her eyes. Lately, everything had felt off—small waves of nausea in the mornings, a strange fatigue she couldn’t shake, and an odd sense of queasiness at the smell of certain foods. Her hand drifted absentmindedly to her abdomen as she tried to make sense of it. She’d been feeling this way for days, but today it felt more intense. The queasiness hit again, stronger this time, and she quickly stood up, but the sudden motion left her dizzy. She clutched the back of her chair for balance, feeling lightheaded, her heart pounding softly in her chest. Lucia sank back down, eyes wide with a dawning realization. Her period—she hadn’t even thought about it, but now it seemed so obvious. How lon

    Andretti could not sleep that night, meeting his Father was unsettling, he should have known he would be there, it was his Father's birthday and his grandfather had no grievances against him, even his brother. They would not understand the hurt he went through as a child. He would not forget what happened when he was Ten, how one day he stood nervously in his father’s private office, he could vividly remember the dark, wood-paneled room filled with heavy furniture and an ever-present haze of cigar smoke. His father sitting behind an imposing oak desk, casually lighting a cigar as he surveys paperwork. The dim lighting casts deep shadows across the room, creating an air of both luxury and menace. Andretti fidgety, his small hands clenched into fists at his sides, his school uniform rumpled from a day that didn’t go well. His heart racing as he prepared to tell his father about what happened at school, his mother knew what had happened earlier told him to go and meet his father, kn

    Lucia gently squeezing his hand as they walked to the car ,“You don’t have to pretend, Andretti. I saw how much that rattled you.” Andretti said, his eyes focused ahead, “I said I’m fine, Lucia. It’s nothing I haven’t dealt with before.”* Lucia stopped, she tugged his hand to make him face her, “But it is something, Andretti. I could see how much it affected you. You don’t have to carry this on your own.”Andretti stopped ,turning toward her but avoiding her eyes. His breathing was heavy, his mind racing with old memories and anger he thought he’d buried long ago. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration.Andretti, his voice pitched lower, more vulnerable “Every time I’m near him… it’s like I’m back in that house, powerless. He knows exactly how to get under my skin.” Lucia answered softly, “He was cruel. What he said… I can’t imagine how many times you’ve heard things like that from him.”“More times than I can count. And it’s not just words, Lucia. It’s the way he’s always

    Andretti held Lucia’s hand as they walk down the hallway“You did great, You handled him perfectly.” Lucia smiled nervously, still trying to relax after the intense meeting“He didn’t exactly throw a welcome party, though. Are you sure he’s not disappointed?” Andretti laughing softly said “That’s him being impressed, trust me. If he didn’t like you, he would’ve made some offhand comment about your shoes or your posture. The fact that he asked about the non existent child was a good sign.” Lucia grinning.“Well, I’ll take that as a win, then. I was sure my hands were shaking the whole time, but seriously what are we go to do about the child?” Andretti answered, “ I still have no idea, you did a really good job though i don't think he suspects anything .” Just as they reach the end of the hallway, the sound of a door opening behind them makes Andretti stop abruptly. His grip on Lucia’s hand tightened. "What's wrong?, she asked. Andretti focusing his gaze at the person walking tow

    After the surreal moments of them laying in each other's arms had passed, Lucia sat on the edge of Andretti’s desk, her fingers absently tracing the smooth wood beneath her. Her pulse still thrumming from what just happened, but she watched him, the way he’s trying to regain his composure. He’s not the Andretti most people see—the Mafia boss, the man who commands fear with a glance. Here, alone with her, there’s something raw in his eyes, something vulnerable he was trying hard to mask. He leaned back in his chair, the shadows playing across his face. "Lucia, this was... different," he says, his voice quieter than usual. Different. She almost laughed at the word, but she didn't Instead, she lets a small smile curl at the edges of her lips. "Different how?" She knows exactly what he means, but she wants him to say it. His jaw tightened, and she sees him struggling, trying to find the right words.

    When Andretti looked up and saw Lucia standing in the doorway, his chest tightened. His normally unreadable expression flickered, just for a second, with something primal. She looked like temptation personified, her dress clinging to every curve, catching the light in all the right places. His heart gave a hard, involuntary thud, though outwardly, he remained composed. A low heat surged in his veins, a mix of lust and wariness. He wasn’t used to feeling off balance, but Lucia had a way of igniting something dangerous inside him. His eyes traveled slowly from her legs to the sultry gaze that locked with his, and he could feel the magnetic pull between them. Yet beneath the allure, there was an edge. He knew better than to let his guard down. Desire mixed with a flicker of suspicion, he needed to focus on his work in the plaza. He couldn't quite tell if she was there to seduce him or she had an agenda, or both. That uncertainty thrilled and unsettled him, stirring a primal hunger la

    Lucia stood by the large window in her room, staring out at the trees that surrounded the house. The night was silent, save for the soft hum of the wind brushing against the curtains. The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows on the marble floor. She wrapped her arms around herself, her silk robe slipping slightly off her shoulder, but she didn’t bother to fix it. It's been a week since Lucia had seen Andretti, She was told he was busy sorting some things out but he would be back tomorrow for his grandfather's birthday. She was offended that he hadn't reached out of her thorough out, just the usual check ins with Gia to know how she was but they hadn't really talked. Funny how she had all her devices back but they never communicate on the phone she murmured to herself, her voice breaking the stillness. “Andretti is always gone. Always busy with... 'mafia business'.” Her eyes welled up with unshed tears, but she blinked them away, keeping her face strong, as if he could see her
