Truth Hurts

The air was stale, the stench of blood and disinfectant filled the air and it was almost suffocating.

It smelled like a hospital that had lost control of it’s blessing patients and it made Rain gag once or twice since she walked into the room.

The sight was much worse than the stench though.

The man was still in his bloodied clothes but they had been cut open from the parts that were shot. Bandages covered his bullet wounds and the rest of the blood had caked on the material and his skin, that was probably where the stench was coming from.

The areas around his bandaged wounds were clean but not the same could be said for the rest of him. He seemed to be covered in a mess of his own making, he’d grown quite a stubble since Rain last saw him. His mouth was wide open, like he had something to say but couldn’t will his tongue to move.

He looked terrible.

Good.

Rain took another shaky step forward, almost regretting why she came there in the first place but then again, she was also

    Rain lay in her bed, she was tempted to put her hands over her ears. She couldn’t sworn she still heard the screams of Ymir when Alexander did what he wanted to do.Tearing open his skin, burning him, punching him…every single action elicited a scream from the man Rain almost felt pity for him but then again she doesn’t look away and one might even say she enjoyed every moment.Is it what Elisa would’ve wanted?That tiny voice at the back of her mind haunted her.If Elisa were here, would she approve of Alexander doing such a thing and Rain supporting him?Rain doubted it but the fact remained that Elisa was dead and she was never coming back.“Hey…” Viola’s weak voice brought Rain out from her thoughts. “Viola!” Rain gasped as she immediately got up from the bed and walked to the door where Viola stood. Rain put an arm around her waist to support her and helped her as both of the walked slowly to the bed. “You should be in bed resting,” Rain said as she heard the tired si

    Alexander turned on the faucet and put his bloodied hands under the running water. He forced himself not to stare at his reflection because he knew he would hate what he saw.A man that was barely recognizable. A man that has taken on a path he told himself he wouldn’t take…but now things were different.Elisa was no longer here. She wasn’t here to tell him that happiness, true happiness wasn’t far away. Was there truly such a thing as true happiness for a man like him? “Xander, Romeo and Luigi are here,” Came Enzo’s voice through the door.“I’ll be out in a minute,”Alexander blew out a ragged breath. Ymir was dead and he now had the locations of the biggest Council members, Elisa’s death was halfway avenged…his cousin’s death as well.This was supposed to be a reason to celebrate, something that would make him feel lighter. Take that heavy feeling off his chest but it didn’t . Alexander was annoyed by the fact that he still felt the same, there was no change.He washed h

  • Bloody Rose   A Rose By Her Bedside

    A rose by her bedside.Every single day for the past one week.It should feel like a routine, like her life was finally getting back to the weird normal it was when Elisa was alive but, it didn’t.Rain now knew who was keeping those roses every single morning, what baffled her the most was how she never stirred whenever he walked into the room.Yet whenever they met during the day, he was indifferent toward her, both of them knowing fully well what had happened only a few hours ago.Alexander was driving Rain insane, confusing her with his actionsOne second he was the charming man she knew, bringing a single rose to her bedroom whilst she slept and then the next second he is the Don of the Guerriero empire and her nothing more than his assistant.“Aren’t you and Xander going out for a meeting today?” Viola asked, a bag of chips in her hand and countless crumbs littered on the bed and her face like she was a fucking five-year-old!Yes, Viola has also been here in the past one w

  • Bloody Rose   An Amusement Park

    The meeting was being held at an amusement park which Rain felt was the weirdest place to have a meeting.But apparently it was what Mr. Endicott requested and strangely enough, Alexander agreed to his request. “This is going to be fun,” Luigi said as they stepped down from the car, he looked at Rain with an excited expression and Rain couldn’t help but laugh at his enthusiasm.“We’re here for business alone, you know that right?” Rain said with a faint smile on her face.The park was the most beautiful she’d ever seen, the sun was bright and it made the place look even more colorful and vibrant.Adults and kids alike flooded the place, some in long straight lines, some on rides that it was clearly obvious they couldn’t handle. Maybe it was the screams and laughter of people, maybe it was the scent of junk food in the air and the crowd but, Rain felt lighter than she had been in a long while. She inhaled deeply and then watched the crowds of people having fun longingly. “We’

    Rain wasn’t going to be distracted by the activities at the park, or so she told herself. It actually became a chore just to pay proper attention to their conversation. “…really went through with it,” “Yes, yes I did.” Alexander’s reply was short and devoid of any emotion. He brought out the files that Luigi had given to him earlier and set the down on the table. “Wow,” Williams said with a low chuckle, “You really don’t waste time when it comes to these things Mr. Guerriero,” He took the files and divided them into two, giving the other half to his twin. “The list is quite long but it’s achievable, don’t you think?” Walter asked his brother who nodded in reply. Were they going to be the ones tasked with killing the families? Holy shit. Was Alexander really going through with it? “What are you guys going to do with them?” Rain could see from the top of the files that they were people’s profiles, even little kids weren’t spared. The Endicott brothers looked at Alexander stran

    He didn’t look scared of the roller coaster, when he paid for the ride and they were both seated properly. He still had on that passive expression, he looked like he didn’t have a fucking care in the world.So stiff… “Have you ever been on a roller coaster before?” He didn’t answer, instead he inhaled audibly as the technician made sure they were both strapped I’m properly.“Make sure to keep your legs in at all times and don’t unbuckle your seatbelts halfway,” the man said and then winked at Rain. “You sure you’ll be okay ma’am?”“ She’ll be fine, leave!” Alexander said coldly to the man, his eyes widened slightly in fear but then he sneered at Alexander before leaving.He probably saw Alexander as a cock block right now.“Is this really your first time on a rollercoaster?”Rain still didn’t get a reply, at that point she was already laughing because she knew the truth. “Damn,” Rain laughed uncontrollably, “I’m sorry I know it isn’t funny but...I haven’t met anyone who’

    A gasp. A breathy whisper.“What about Andrea?” She wasn’t going to bring it up. She wanted to forget completely about it and just enjoy the warmth that his body brought, the ways his rough fingers scorched her skin and how she enjoyed the softness of his lips against hers.He pulled away, his hand moved up to cup her chin.Rain opened her blurry eyes to look at him, his lips were wet with their saliva and his eyes were alight with a flame that made her entire body burn with desire. “Just for a moment Gattina…” his entire body had stiffened when he heard her but he didn’t make any movement to leave her.His other hand went down to her waist while the other cupped her cheek, his breathing ragged and his heart pounding hard and fats against Rain’s palms.“…don’t think about that, just feel this,”A sweet shiver ran down her spine, she moved closer to him, melted into him and moaned as her sensitive peaks rubbed against his chest.“Alexander…” Those words were at the tip of h

    Rain was breathless by the time the car pulled to a stop. No, they hadn’t kissed but, he was so close to her, her entire body was aware of his arousal, felt it. His body spike it in volumes and he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.Once the driver, who’s face was already beet red stopped the car. Alexander smiled at her as he opened the car door and stepped down. Yet again, he held out a hand for her…she took it without hesitation.Fuck it! She thought.His palms were callused but warm, she enjoyed the feel of his skin.She looked up at him, brows furrowed in concentration. Trying to decipher just who the man in front of her was. Was it the arousal that made him act this way?Was it because he was still trying to apologize to her or was it all genuine?Rain was afraid that it wasn’t. “Why do you look so confused?” he asked as they both began to walk into the mansion.Rain coughed awkwardly and looked away, hating the way her cheeks heated up at the sound of his voice but f

    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

    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.

    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
