“In a way, I know I’m supposed to be happy that I’m going to be an aunt soon but…”

“ The mother of the child?” Viola asked, her face already red with laughter. For some reason, she found Rain’s current expression funny.

“ Not that Andrea is a bad person or anything like that,” Rain waved her hands trying to dismiss the thought from Viola’s head.

“Uh huh...” Viola said, Rain’s words only succeeding in making her laugh harder.

“Look, it’s just that she has a lot of issues and sometimes she’s like a—”

“—bitch, she’s a bitch Rain. No need to censor your words,”

Yup. She was a bitch. A stuck up bitch that shot at Rain as a warning to stay away from Alexander yet from what she’d learned at the dining table, Andrea herself had come to end things by herself.

Rain and Viola sat on opposite sides of her bed, a pillow each in their grasps and Viola looking like she would burst into laughter at any given moment.

She’s been laughing from the table when she had first heard everything but no

    The large hall was dark and moldy. No one had been inside of it or cleaned it for weeks all because of one person.Alexander Guerriero.The hall was once a place beautified by the lights that came in from the windows and at least thirty men filled the now dusty seats lined up in the hall with their own desks.Now the hall’s curtains couldn’t be drawn open and the men that stood in the hall, gnashing their teeth in anger were two while the third man eyes took in the appearance of the once great hall with a cold gaze, yet his eyes were emotionless and one could tell what he was thinking.The three men in the halls were all obviously not from the same countries.A red haired middle aged man who’s head was still held up high like nothing in the world could touch him, he still carried around an air of confidence despite him knowing that they had all bee brought down and they had nothing left attached to their names.A man who’s entire hair was already gray and his back hunched over b

  • Bloody Rose   Finally Over

    The building was almost empty. That was the first thing Rain noticed when she walked in. It was as good as abandoned and the only person in the bobby was the receptionist. A teenager that looked like he was just trying to earn extra money.His eyes widened when he saw them in the lobby.Probably because of the number of men Alexander had brought with him.They were at least thirty men behind them and that was apart from his consigliere, Luigi, his capo régimes, Enzo and, Romeo and Aldo. The boy looked like he was going to piss his pants at any second.He quickly bolted away from the desk and tried to run to the entrance but Enzo caught him easily swiftly and bent his arm in an odd angle behind his back.He said something in Italian to the boy that made his eyes widen even more and then he shakily pointed at the second door at the right at the lobby.“Thanks,” Enzo said to the shaking big as he let go of his arm and then walked past him like he didn’t just threaten his life.Th

    Their destination was only a short drive away from where they’d picked up the council members. Alexander had driven the car while Aldo took the other front seat and Rain sat at the back. They were both silent all through the drive and Rain spent the entire drive contemplating if she should start up a conversation or not. Their moods were somber.When Alexander finally stopped the car, Rain looked outside the window to see that they were at some park or meadow of some sort.The green grass stretched as far as her eyes could see and at the side was a gathering of trees, it wasn’t big enough to call it a forest though.Rain stepped out of the car before the men. When they both joined her, she saw that Aldo was holding a jar in his hand tightly and his brows furrowed like he was in pain. The jar was ceramic and beautiful designed by flowered and butterflies hovering over each of them.They began to walk, nothing needed to be said. She already knew why they were here.The walked int

    A week later, things seemed to be more normal around the mansion. The maids went back to their normal routines only with Vicky as the person in charge and of course a few of them had already been fired. Rain had trued to enjoy the fake normalcy but she couldn’t, she missed Elisa and she also missed her brother who she hasn’t seen since the day she found out she was going to be an aunt. She honestly thought that after their little talk, he would confide in her more but no… not Nicholas. At least eight days had passed since she’s last see him or even spoken to him. His number wasn’t connecting whenever she called and he wasn’t replying any of her texts either even though it was being received. Alexander on the other hand had also been MIA. Rain was still being his assistant of course but most of the time he left the house without her saying it was ‘unofficial matters’ and that she didn’t have to concern herself with them. She knew he was lying. Knew he was trying to protect her, he e

  • Bloody Rose   In Love

    It was a bright Saturday morning.The birds were chirping and singing, the sun had risen earlier than normal…Rain inhaled deeply, the scent of roses assailed her nostrils.She opened her eyes groggily, the light from the windows almost blinding her. She waited a few seconds for her eyes to get used to the brightness before she opened her eyes again.Roses…They were everywhere!A gasp escaped her lips as she looked around her room. The roses occupied every nook and cranny, every corner and every space, even the floor was covered in petals.The room wasn’t this way when she went to sleep last night, rather late, she couldn’t recall the reason why she slept late but she knew that she was so excited in that moment.Wait…why did something feel off?Did she really fall asleep in her room last nightIt was her wedding day.That’s right.She was marrying the man she loved today!Something she had been looking forward to for so long. She hadn’t seen her fiancé in almost a week and today, fina

  • Bloody Rose   Luigi's Stupidity

    Alexander brought up the cigarette to his mouth and inhaled, closing his eyes as the tobacco got into his lungs and soothed him…well just a little bit.It had been so long since he had the urge to smoke but now he just wanted to drown himself in packs of them if they would help with the emotional turmoil he was feeling in that moment.“So you fucked her, big whoop. The both of you make a great couple anyways,” Luigi snorted, “Why are you acting like someone died?”Alexander blew out a breath and the smoke along with it and then shook his head.“You wouldn’t understand,” he said to Luigi as he crushed the cigarette into the ash tray next to him and then leaning back into the armrest of his study’s couch.He'd been cooped up in there all morning since he left Rain in the cabin.They had been at it all night, his body not ever getting enough of hers and Rain’s body the most responsive and sexy he’d ever touched.His body finally tired out in the early hours of the morning, by then

  • Bloody Rose   Come With Me

    Rain didn’t want breakfast to be weird or awkward, despite Alexander’s presence.She tried to keep up with the conversation between Luigi and Viola, tried to secretly taunt Vicky whenever she noticed the woman’s glare and all this just so she could ignore the burning stare she knew she was getting from Alexander. He was seated opposite her and not at his usual position at the head of the table.He didn’t say anything when he’d arrived at the dining room shortly after Luigi did. Enzo and Romeo came in not long after, Romeo gave her a look that made her feel super uncomfortable and remembering what happened the last time they’d both met and had a conversation, it only made matters worse.So when she decided to shift her gaze from Romeo, so as to not ruin her morning more than it already was, she saw him.Alexander’s eyes were on her, ablaze with desire and this time he did nothing to hide it even though they were both at a table filled with people. Rain’s eyes widened and for a sp

    Drunk. She was fucking drunk, it made Alexander wonder if he was wrong by giving her a glass of alcohol this early in the day. He didn’t think she was a light weight but apparently she was, he was learning new things about the woman everyday. “Are you kidnapping me?...again?” Then she giggled like she’d just told the funniest joke. It was anything but funny to him though. Was that really what she thought of him their situation? Did she see him as a man that held her against her will? Even now? After all they’d both shared together? “If you don’t want to come with me, you can go back Gattina,” Alexander sighed, “I won’t stop you,” His arm was around her wait and he held her tightly to his side as the both walked. She held on to his arm like it was a tree branch she wanted swing on, a loopy grin on her face and her tripping over every little thing. “I trust you,” she shook her head, “unfortunately…” she added in a low voice. It floored Alexander, he silently wondered why it was

    Darkness. It consumed her and it was all she could think about. The darkness, how thick it was, how it made her want to scream so loud that her lungs would hurt. The pain was next, it came like a freight train to the skull, fast, sudden and unexpected. It made her moan and groan, her legs shook—wait… no they didn’t. She was laying down on her back and her head was on the softest of pillows. Roses. They came next. The scent of so many roses that it almost made her eyes water…her closed eyes. Rain opened them and then let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. It wasn’t too bright but the curtains were drawn, almost like the sun was just setting and the moon was getting ready to rise. Memories of what happened before the darkness consumed her flitted through her mind. She had been taken from the Cabin by Romeo to Cullen. He had done to her what he used to do in the past and then left her unattended because he thought she would be in too much pain to even stand, after he had

    All hell was about to break loose.No, he had to be calm and level headed or else he would just worsen the situation.“He had a knife to her throat, I couldn’t make any moves without the knife digging deeper into her skin…he wasn’t bluffing…I’ve never seen him that way before,” Aldo sounded so lost and confused, like he didn’t expect shit like this to happen but Alexander expected it, what he didn’t expect was Romeo being the person who would betray all of them.“A knife to her throat?” Alexander gritted his teeth. The thought of Rain going through something as traumatizing as that was something that threatened to push him off the fucking edge.He was at his limit and he knew that at any given moment, he was going to go insane.“I didn’t know there was someone in the SUV, I would’ve stopped him first before Romeo got there but, I managed to put a tracker on them…issue is—”“It might be a trap,” Enzo said. The man’s eyes were bloodshot and his grip on his gun was so tight that

    The knock came again and this time it was louder and much heavier than the last. The door shook and Rain flinched back in fear. “Rain!” Romeo? “It’s me! Open up!” Shit. It was just Romeo, but what happened to Alexander and why wasn’t he here instead? “Hey!” He was panting when she opened the door, covered in sweat and looked completely out of sorts. “We have to go!” He said hurriedly and then grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the cabin and practically dragging her to the mansion. “Wait…wait!” Rain hissed at the strength of his grip on her wrist,, it felt like he was trying to break it in half. “What exactly is going on?” Rain asked as she stood her ground and refused the move. The wind was cold and it blew harshly on her skin, it was deathly calm and silent outside of the cabin almost like all of the gunshots from before were just her imagination. There was no one in sight and even where there were supposed to be guards, there was no one. Something was wrong. And somethin

  • Bloody Rose   Positive

    Positive. Shit. All three of the tests Viola had bought were saying the same shit, her fears had been confirmed but strangely enough Rain felt really calm. She had thought she would break down until tears and start screaming hysterically but she didn’t really feel the urge to do so. She walked out of the bathroom, her legs were shaky and her eyes burning with unshed tears. Viola was right in front of her immediately and pulling her into a tight embrace. “They’re all positive, I’m pregnant,” Yes. Saying it out loud just made the reality of her situation hit her. She was carrying Alexander’s child. “It’s okay Rain,” Viola rubbed her back comfortingly, “I will be with you every step of the way, no matter what decision you make,” Rain hugged the woman tighter. She was like a lifeline in that moment. Rain didn’t think she would gain such an amazing friend after everything that had happened to her in Italy but today she was in the embrace of one, one that made her realize that everyt

    “I got them for you,”Rain looked down at the black plastic bag that Viola was handing over to her.The events of the day had made forget totally that she had more issues she had to worry about.The pregnancy test. Fuck, could this day get any fucking worse?“Are you okay? You look a bit pale…” Viola held her face with a worried expression, Rain shook her head and moved out of Viola’s reach.“Thank you for everything Viola, I’m…I think I’ll just get everything done and over with, wait for me?”“ Of course!” Viola nodded, her eyes never leaving Rain as she walked to the bathroom.Rain really needed a shoulder to cry on right now, most especially if the tests came out positive. That would just be the cherry on top of all the shit that has happened today.….“Rain and Sergio knew each other back in Japan, how is it that it didn’t show up on her file?”Alexander wasn’t sure what it was but there was just something about Rain’s reaction to Sergio that just didn’t add up. When Ra

  • Bloody Rose   The Truth

    Sergio Mendes. That was what he called himself and that was what everyone knew him as. That wasn’t the name he told her three years ago. This was not the image he carried either. He might be able to fool every single person in this room but he couldn’t fool her, she knew who he was, she would recognize that face anywhere and her mind was not playing tricks on her. Three years ago she’d been a lost girl, and when she’d finally met him she thought it was over, the she’d been found and she finally found herself, found who she was meant to be. She was wrong. “Rain?” Then came Alexander’s worried tone, only then did she realize just how long she was staring at the man in front of her. His hand outstretched for a handshake, a knowing smile on his lips. When was the last time she had a panic attack? Rain could not remember. She thought it had stopped permanently. Now. “I…I need to use the bathroom,” she managed to choke out as she forced her feet to move and quickly leave the room,

    One of the most expensive restaurants in Italy. To some, it might take months to make a reservation at a place such as this but as for Rain. The second she mentioned Alexander’s name to the restaurant, they quickly and easily processed everything.The Guerriero family name carried a lot of power and Rain was really tempted to use it to her advantage sometimes.Getting easy access into places that others could not. She could get used to this sort of thing.The restaurant was a long drive away from the mansion but it was honestly worth it. It had one of the most beautiful interior decors she’d ever seen, also probably the most expensive.The people on the tables dressed up like they were attending a fucking gala or something, every single one of them, prominent people in the country or even celebrities.Rain forced her mouth to stay closed and tried not to gape and embarrass herself.She then turned to look at Alexander who was dressed like he was just taking a casual stroll in t

    “Are you sure you’re feeling up to it?” Asked Viola who was sitting on Rain’s bed which surprisingly enough, she hardly ever used these days…well until last night. Viola was munching on chips, not really caring for the crumbs that she was actually littering the sheets with.She looked as worried as a woman eating chips would look.Rain shook her head, “It was just a dizzy spell. I’ve had them countless times back when I was in Japan,”Sure, the previous day’s episode got her shook but she quickly regained her composure.It was a normal thing to feel dizzy in the morning for absolutely no reason at all.Rain had been prone to dizzy spells and panic attacks back when she was recovering from…you know who.She didn’t see anything wrong with it but Viola seemed to think otherwise, rather strongly.“You should really go to a hospital and get checked out,”“Viola…” Rain groaned.“Just saying,” Viola shrugged her shoulders, “or better yet, get yourself a pregnancy test and pee on

  • Bloody Rose   True Feelings

    The meeting with Sergio Mendes was the next day but since Alexander had decided to leave her out of the serious stuff, he left for the exchange that they’d almost had an argument about. Or did they actually have an argument? After pacifying her, he went straight into the shower, it was noon by the time the guys came over and Rain had to revert to her routine of avoiding Romeo while trying to act like everything was normal. At first she’d thought Romeo was just in a bad mood and it was a phase that was going to pass but soon his actions started getting bolder and bolder. He would hold her hand secretly, whisper some nasty sexual words in her ear or try to kiss her when no one was looking but whenever they were with everyone else, he was their friend. The same person he was when they’d first met. Would they believe her if she told them just how much he was giving her the creeps and why? Probably not. Viola was the only person Rain could confide in about stuff like that but she still
