Rain was forced to go back into the Ball. It wasn’t hit but it was suffocating and what was worse was the sight her eyes met, Alexander and Andrea hand in hand…walking around like a bunch of teenagers that just lost their virginities to each other.

“Where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Rain was startled by Viola’s sudden voice, the woman stood behind her, her cheeks flushed red and her smile even wider than the past few minutes.

“Did you have more to drink?”

She nodded and then shook her head and then burst into a fit of giggles before placing her fingers over her lips.

“Oh my God, I’m drunk!”

“No shit,” Rain said with a laugh, Viola pulled Rain in for a sudden hug and planted a kiss on the side of her cheek.

“What was that for?”

“The dance is about to start, come so we can hand our cards over to the matron,”

There were going to be seven dances, not everyone chose to fill their cards with names but because of how many offers Rain got, her card was full.

    After Rain’s dance with Mr. Edgar, she decided that she wasn’t going to dance anymore, no matter what Viola tried to do to convince her. “Come on, you only have one more dance left and we’re going to be giving plenty of time to rest,” Rain shook her head. “I didn’t even dance this much at my prom. I am definitely done for the night!” She said and let out a long sigh. Clink. Clink. Mrs. Lombardi held up a glass and but it with a spoon. “Would you all please have your seats, the food is about to be served and I have a few words I would like to say,” She was so soft spoken but she didn’t look frail. Rain liked the woman, she looked like she had experienced so much in life but she still didn’t let it weaken her. Soon enough, their entire gang found the table where Rain and Viola had taken. Luigi, long faced Romeo, and Enzo who looked like he’d had one too many drinks. Seriously, what was with everyone and getting drunk at this Ball? “Hey Rain,” Ok…that has never happened before

    He wasn’t supposed to be there.“Fuck!”Alexander brought a cigarette up to his lips and lit it up.He let it burn and didn’t bother inhaling or exhaling, he was too busy trying to curb his anger to do that.“Why did you suddenly walk out?”Alexander’s entire body tensed as he heard the voice behind him. The same voice that haunted him for years, the nitpicked at every single decision he made in his life and made he question his own intelligence countless times.“You know everyone saw that, it didn’t look good,” Alberto walked up to the railing of the balcony where Alexander had rested his arms and stood next to his son.Alexander was trying hard to stop himself from looking directly into his father’s eyes, out of habit...His mind warned him continuously that he wasn’t supposed to.“Why are you here?”Alberto chuckled, “You might be Don now but that doesn’t mean I won’t attend the parties I used to attend,”“You know that’s not what I mean!”“Are you raising your voice at

    TWO DAYS LATER…“Hello?”“Son, it kind of hurts to know you don’t have my number saved in your phone,” Alexander gritted his teeth and fought the urge to end the call immediately.“Do you need anything?” He asked coldly. “I hear Mr. Finn and you have a meeting today, I don’t know what it’s about but you know I and his father have been old friends so make sure you—”“ I will do whatever I want to because it is my decision to make,”His plan was already in motion, he didn’t need his father’s approval for everything anymore.“Now if you’ll excuse, I’m really busy,”Alexander couldn’t explain the satisfaction he got from ending the call but it was slowly replaced with anger.The second Alexander brought his phone down from his ear, his expression darkened instantly and there was the sound of something getting snapped.Alexander looked down at the broken pen on his desk, he unclenched his fist to see just how much damage it had done. He clenched his jaw tighter than it already

    Andrea Salvatore paced around her room like a lion searching for it’s next prey but in this case, she was in search of her assistant. She wanted to make sure she found the butch before any of the information she had in hand got out.Andrea thought back to the message she had gotten while at the Ball two days ago.I KNOW YOUR SECRETI KNOW ABOUT NICHOLASI HAVE PROOFEVERYONE WILL KNOW SOONThat was enough to destabilize Andrea and make her lose her bearings.She had went straight to the office, hoping to find her assistant working late, she was going to confront her, going to ask her why she would send such a message and what exactly it was that she knew.Andrea inhaled deeply, she held a glass of orange juice that she had asked the house keeper to bring up for her, she couldn’t drink alcohol...Not when she was pregnant.Shit!Shit!Shit!She bit her nails as she dialed her assistant’s number for the seventeenth in the past thirty minutes and just as it had been before, i

    Rain ate in complete silence, watched from the corner of her eyes as Enzo escorted Alexander’s unknown visitors out of the house…their faces were red, they looked severely annoyed…Alexander must’ve said something that didn’t please them.Well, get in line. She thought.“If you don’t feel like eating, you could take a break Rain, I’m not trying to force you,”Rain looked up at Elisa and gave her an apologetic smile.“ I’m sorry,”“ There’s no need to be,” Elisa said as she proceeded to clear the table, Vicky appeared at Elisa’s side almost immediately and began packing. Vicky also looked to be I’m a sour mood but Rain couldn’t bring herself to give a fuck.There was this heavy feeling in her chest that wouldn’t go away.Probably because she realized last night that she was beginning to get way too comfortable in her prison, after what Alexander had done…what he had attempted, that discomfort was back and she knew she couldn’t tell Elisa about any of it.She wished she could ca

    Rain was surprised when Elisa had walked into her room with a smile on her face. “Its good you got ready even though you didn’t believe me,” Elisa chuckled as she get her hair from the tight bun that was holding it up and then smoothed down the strands with her fingers. “What’s you favorite?” “We should definitely have sushi first then have any other thing later,” Rain couldn’t help her excitement as she adjusted her clothes and let her hair fall down to her shoulders and back d well. “Aldo should be waiting for you in front of the car, I will call Viola to meet us there,” They both exited the room together but Elisa took a detour saying that she had forgotten something. Once Rain was outside the house, sure enough, Aldo was in front of the car, arms crossed over his chest and his mouth pushed forward into a pout. “Good morning Aldo,” Rain smiled at him and that was enough to get rid of that out and make him smile as well. “Ma says we’ll be going to the Japanese restaurant just

  • Bloody Rose   The Story Of Marcus Wealth

    Rain could remember her first book like it was yesterday, it was also the only book she wrote that she actually fell in love with.The story of Marcus Wealth.She remembers the book so clearly because she wrote the first chapter right after she had cleaned off chuncks of her parents' body parts and blood from her body, right after she was done consoling her brother and putting him to bed.Maybe it was her brain's mechanism for coping with the shock of what had just happened and what she was experiencing...but the story...the first chapter replayed in her head and Rain couldn't help but wonder what things would've have been like if she were in her own book.........The Story Of Marcus Wealth“There were rumors about the big manor on the cliff at the end of village, they said a young girl was born into a family of witches, each of them holding evil abilities that could destroy kingdoms and worlds. ‘the child is worse than her predecessors, her skin was as dark as mud and her eyes a str

    Rain’s ears rang so much that she felt they were going to start bleeding at any moment or maybe she already was but she just had no way to check, she lay on her chest and her entire body felt like lead, a heavy rock...She couldn’t move. Her entire body was immobilized from the pressure of hitting the floor. She could feel particles of glass over her eyes, she didn’t want to open her eyes and worsen her current situation. The ringing became worse and just by twitching her fingers she felt immense pain all over her body. Her ribs felt severely broken and her throat and back hurt so badly. She couldn’t move her arms, neither could she move her legs. “Aldo Guerriero, we have a message for your brother,” The voice was cold and emotionless, it sent shivers down Rain’s spine…it made her feel the scratches that were all over her body. Was it the shock? Or was it the fear of what was coming after? “Fucking bastards!” Rain heard Aldo spit out. She’d never heard his voice sounding so hosti

    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

    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
