Lorenzo rarely went to the hospital. Any medical care was done at home due to the mafia. Only in more urgent cases, their members were taken to a special hospital. The place was noisy, with several emergencies happening in the emergency room. They went through there, until they reached the treatment room where there was no one.Cassandra sat in a comfortable black armchair, and Lorenzo sat next to her in a chair. They did not have time to talk at all, as a brunette woman, wearing a lab coat, arrived in the room and greeted the young woman. "Good morning, Cassandra. How have you been these past few days?" "Good morning Miss Leone. Unfortunately, I had some dizziness on the days we didn’t see each other." "I’m going to ask for today’s chem
It took a week and Giovanni was busy preparing the preparations for the presentation.At that time, no one could talk to him, not even Mateo. And so the friend arrived in his room that day, opening the door in an impetuous way."Giovanni, we need to talk about Lorenzo."Giovanni watched the friend with his blue eyes, he would never imagine this subject."What did Lorenzo do?""Nothing wrong if that’s what you’re thinking. Other than the fact, this boy doesn’t seem to want to live."Giovanni looked at him, surprised. Didn’t Giovanni have a good life? How wouldn’t the boy like to live?"What do you mean, Mateo? Explain it to me right." He said putting his arms above the table and looking with an expression of irritation at his friend."I heard a conversation between him and the girl, Aria’s sister. You’ve been away for a long time, Giovanni. Even if you don’t want to, they are your children. And they are suffering."He said with fiery brown eyes staring at his friend’s blues. "At least
The next day, someone knocked on the door of the room that Mateo used as an office. Shortly after permission from him, Lorenzo entered. Which surprised the hell out of him. "What brings you here, Lorenzo? Did you talk to your father?" asked the brown man, worried. "No. My father didn’t tell me. I’d like to talk to you."Mateo looked at him, surprised. What could be of interest to Lorenzo in his case? The young man had never shown interest in any of the family’s affairs."What do you want, then?" Mateo stared at him with his brown eyes."I heard you need someone for tech services, I’m a great hacker. I can do that job. I just ask you not to tell my dad."Mateo gave a Ladino smile.
Today was the day of the presentation. Aria was very excited, after all did not see the ballet closely for years. She tried to replicate some old movements, but unfortunately her leg couldn’t stretch enough anymore. Thus, the woman left the room with a sigh of frustration. Aria had to admit and accept that that time would never return."Aria." A childish voice called her in a small scream. " Are you sad today? You Want ice cream? Lenzo always gives me ice cream when I’m sad. Just don’t tell Giulia, she doesn’t like us having ice cream before lunch."Aria laughed and stroked the head of the girl who gave a cute smile in return."It’s nothing dear. I’m fine." Laura watched her with a suspicious expression, but said nothing more. Adults were difficult to show their feelings "Let’s go shopping? Let’s buy a beautiful dress for today" Aria changed the subject. "And toys too." Laura screamed with happy little jumps, forgetting the previous event. Children Tb forgot fast.-----Alissa to
Silence reigned between Alissa and Mateo on the way to the ballet performance. He wanted to compliment her appearance, with her hair down and she just avoided his look."Hmm. Well... I..." Mateo tried to say something.However, Alissa was not so receptive, shaking her hands in her lap, looking away and only answering:"Thank you." In a dry way. Something of her wanted to leave the past behind, but there were several unresolved issues that reminded her that this would not be so simple to happen. ----The theater was crowded and when they showed the tickets, they were guided by the staff to the cabin. Laura and Aria watched the place, da
Aria woke up startled, the storm brought her distant memories of the day of the accident where her parents died.Someone had called her, probably Giovanni. And she was right.Her boss was next to her, with a worried look. Probably she had fallen asleep due to the fatigue caused by the tension they had gone through.Memories of the accident were again in her memory. The rain, the noises and flashes of thunder. And of course, the people. The frightened screams of Cassandra and her mother screaming for Aria to protect her. All this made her gasp and tense, trembling and wondering what she should look like. Perhaps, a spoiled fool."Were you dreaming of the accident?" His blue eyes stared at her, only illuminated by the light of thunder."I’m sorry. I look
Blood flowed down the floor. Mateo stepped on the red liquid as he watched Yuri Sidnovi’s empty, opaque gaze.A bullet was placed right in the Russian’s forehead, finally killing him. He should inform his boss. However, there was information that Mateo should keep secret, at least for now.Mateo helped the men to finish the body of the Russian, burning the same along with the place.He closed his nose, avoiding breathing the smoke and left the scene. He removed the gloves and threw the tables to be burned by fire. And soon after, he got in his car and drove off.The first thing he did was send the Russian code to Lorenzo. The boy would know what to do with it. The gears were moving in the sub arrives from the mafia, however, he would have to be sure.
8 years ago, Alissa left the hospital, alone and with almost nothing. She came home and there was nothing. The killers had taken everything.She sat on the floor, crying, only with the ultrasound photo of her little brother who had still died in her mother’s womb.Alissa walked around the empty house and checked if there was still anything she could take. Not hearing any sound from her parents in the place left her throat tight, however, it was necessary to continue.She went through the rooms to get to hers. Fortunately, there were still some clothes and a gun hidden above the wardrobe.Alissa took her last bath there and cried her loss. The scar on her back was still seen in the mirror. She trembled to remember the torture that had passed there. Really, the best decision would be to leave the place.She came out of the bath and put on an ordinary T-shirt and pants, all the designer clothes had been stolen.And when she closed the door, a part of her closed inside her and another doo
It was raining that day, the lord and lady Ricci were laughing and playing with their daughters until the rain increased and the car began to drift. "Nikolai, stop the car." Aria heard her mother scream. "I can’t, it doesn’t work." Aria and Cassandra screamed and the only thing left in their thoughts was the color and smell of blood. Aria woke up with her hands shaking. Her thoughts were clearer now, and she was aware that she had to tell the truth to Cassandra. But, it could not be by phone.The room was simple, without much furniture, but with a very beautiful light blue color. She sat down and took a deep breath. There was still much to discover, but her past could not paralyze her. The woman took a few minutes to deflect her thoughts from the tension of the accident and finally, she stretched out and caught her brown hair in a loose bun and left. Aria still had a sense of tension to be there in that place with the "enemy". But she wondered if she was safe anywhere after learn
Lorenzo had never been so angry in his life. He also felt lonely and alone. The house was not the same without Aria or Cassandra.Even Cassandra was there, she was absent. Giovanni convinced him that she should be treated at home and that Dr Leone should go there to see her patient.At the moment, Cass was sleeping peacefully, but before that she was dying with blood running from her mouth.The doctor arrived in a hurry and added the medicine through the blood in the vein. Cassandra seemed to start getting better minutes later. But that showed that her case had worsened and, hearing this, Lorenzo knew he would have to hurry up to pay for the surgery.The hours passed and, without the presence of Aria and a awake Cassandra, that huge house was back to what it had always been for years. A cold, dark and unhappiness place.There was no noise in that house other than the breath of Cassandra and the keys of the notebook pressed quickly by Lorenzo.Laura had been convinced after a whole day
Aria didn’t know where she was being taken. A mixture of fear and curiosity took care of her. But she had no one by her side at that time. That is, there was no other option.Her eyes had been blindfolded so she didn’t know where they were going. But at least Aria knew who they were, the enemies of Giovanni Mancini.They arrived at a secluded place, Aria could swear that they had climbed a mountain and with the bandage removed she could see that it was correct. There was only one simple house, right on the highest peak.The woman led her into the property and Aria noticed that it was also simple. There were not many furniture, nor many rooms. And nothing that would accuse that place belonged to a mafia. I mean, a perfect hiding. "What do they want from me? Affecting Giovanni Mancini is no longer a good plan." she said to the woman, sitting on the white couch. The redhead smiled and sat down next to her. "You’re more important than Giovanni Mancini, Aria." "Even? I don’t see how. I
On the day of the feast, everyone was agitated and rushed so that nothing would disturb the evening event.Cassandra warned that she would go out with her colleagues to buy the evening dress. Despite being hurt by her sister’s secret, Aria was glad to see her having friends of her age.Already at night, she observed her own dress, a gift from Giovanni. The dress was elegant and delicate, a red dress, hopefully falling with the black wine skirt, with a slit in front, showing one of the legs. In addition, small crystals were embedded throughout the piece, which made it more dazzling.Aria smiled, this gesture could show that Giovanni really cared about her. But, material goods, kisses and sex, do not replace sincerity and that was what she sought. And that’s what she expected to meet with her boss and party partner. When Giovanni saw her, Aria expected a smile or a silly expression like on the day of the ballet performance. However, she was greeted with the opposite of that. A hateful
Giovanni didn’t know how to react to the information that Mateo and Alissa sent. Things were getting more complicated.It was still early when he received the message on his phone. It was not ideal, but necessary. After all, if his security guards had been attacked, it could happen again at any time and the information would be taken with them without reaching his ears. The mobster gave a long sigh, it was dark, only one window flap opened allowed the light of the rising sun to enter and illuminate slightly the face of Aria who slept next to him.Giovanni smiled, slightly removing a hair from her face, which even with his touch remained asleep. Even with the affection he already felt for her, the doubt of his past came to his mind, tormenting him again. He got out of bed, with his ex’s face in mind. What if Aria was like her? Insecurity and paranoia came in his torment. If he had been deceived again, it could be again.Finally, annoyed, Giovanni decided to take a cigarette and smoke
Alissa held her breath at the scene. They should have warned Giovanni, but it would be very suspicious to do that at the moment.The party continued normally, but something terrifying caught Alissa’s attention. A characteristic aroma that has been in your mind for years since that unfortunately unforgettable day in your life.The couples were changed to beat the music. Something she should accept not to raise suspicion. His new partner, dressed in black and gold and his mask had painted golden tears. And to the terror of Alissa, the odor intensified.Frightened, the woman looked around looking for Mateo. However, she could not see him among so many people. This made her panic, she was alone with this stranger who probably murdered her parents and tortured her."Miss me, little girl?" He turned her around the hall and whispered in her ear. Alissa was cold, her hands trembling with fear. She recognized this term. Only one of them used it on her. A man with blue eyes.Alissa felt weak,
The weather in Venice was cool and comfortable, Alissa took the opportunity to remove the red jacket she was wearing and stretch her muscles."Come on. Let’s settle in." Mateo said handing her a black mask. After all, keeping the description was what mattered. The hotel was simple but comfortable and very beautiful, with light walls and golden details. The pair presented themselves as a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rizzo. The woman smiled at them and asked someone to guide them both into a double room. Alissa swallowed dry upon noticing the double bed. Mateo approached her and whispered in her ear:"Don’t worry, sweetie. I won’t do anything you don’t want." And with that, he came out saying:"Feel free. I’ll sort out some issues for tonight." Not knowing what to think or do, Alissa just threw herself into bed and waited for time to pass. Thinking about what would come next for the night. ------Alissa woke up with the noise of the shower and a beautiful green dress hanging in the wardrobe
The next day, Mateo and Alissa were sitting in front of Giovanni with the information that Mari had given her."Mari worked as a partner of a chief of police in Parma, a city here in northern Italy. He hid important information from the Russian mafia in exchange for money, after all, no one would suspect a police officer from the interior." Alissa began to tell the story that had been passed on to her. "Mari found him dead, poisoned 1 month ago. He died while signing a transfer document from a bank account to his. The account is not known here in Italy. Well, what matters is that for the first time, Mari was able to access his computer and found various information, including Aria’s." Alissa paused to breathe as she joined her two hands above the table." And what does Aria have to do with it? "Giovanni asked, anxious." She was in one of the files. Her, Cassandra and their parents. From what it looks like, they were investigators in the past. We don’t know if they were part of any m
Giovanni was possessed. Aria could tell by the way he held the wheel. And she was right, the boy wanted to drive him crazy."What the hell did he do this time?" He asked himself out loud. " This kid never gave me any trouble, now he seems to be trying to get my attention."Aria watched the man with a curious countenance and only replied:"I think it’s the other way around, I think he doesn’t want to get your attention. After all, it was Cassandra who called us and not Lorenzo.""She never did it. He never gave me any trouble."Giovanni said with his voice altered."I don’t think you ever paid attention." Aria smiled.Giovanni looked at her, embarrassed. Aria was right, he had not paid attention to his children and perhaps this had happened before.-----They arrived at the police station and Lorenzo was in th
