LILY."I need to see him, and he has to hear me out!"It was nighttime, and I had not left my room following Salvatore's orders. Every time I tried to get up and meet Adler, he would pull me back to the bed and sit in the armchair beside it while gently caressing his crucifix with his thumb."The godfather was with him after the situation by the stairs, and since then, he has been in Donna's room; now's not the time to go to him," Salvatore explained. Folding his arms across his chest, he added, "You need to get some rest."What Adler thought of me had been evident in his dilated pupils, although they were more confused because he was still trying to understand everything.On the bed, I drew my knees until they were under my chin. Go to sleep. Was Priest serious? I was in a dilemma, unsure of what could happen soon, and he wanted me to sleep."You think he'll take it well?" I murmured, "The way he looked at me...""Adler will snap out of it; just give a little more time." He relaxed b

RUNE.He sensed her pain, so evident for everyone to witness—the weight in her voice as she urged him to be straightforward. As much as he desired to shield her from the pain, he recognized she required it—needed her expectations shattered, needed her heart to be broken, and her hopes snuffed.Much to his relief Adler wasn't holding back; he lost his mind and empathy after the revelation; there was no arguing that, and all Rune wanted was smashing his fist against the fuckers mouth, damning every consequence."Do you hate me now?" Lily whimpered, "You hate me now, don't you?"A frustrated Adler sighed, "No, I don't hate you; I just need space to think things through,""Then I'll stay out of your way. I promise not to cross your path until you call for me, but please don't send me away from you, I beg you," Rune blinked hard at the sound of her desperation.He loathed that she was vulnerable to a brick wall, the shaky tone, the fear in her eyes each time Adler opened his mouth to spea

SALVATOREHe blinked, "What?!""She's gone, dude," Rune repeated, pulling off his coat as he progressed further into the room, "Adler wanted space, so sent her out of the manor. Do you want that in Chinese? I could translate."To recap, entering the manor the day before, he presumed she was asleep upon finding her room dark. Deciding not to intrude, he woke up the following day to discover her absence throughout the entire manor. As he was about to sound the alarm, Rune surprised him with this information.Was he taking this well? "What the hell are you talking about?" No, he wasn't.As Priest uttered a curse in his response, Rune's expression became a scowl. He quickly made a U-turn and shot a piercing gaze towards the crucifix hanging from his neck. With a sour tone, he remarked, "It appears that you're having a comprehension problem,""It's not April's Fools' Day; cut this out.""Then find her, man; no one's stopping you."His thoughts raced at lightning speed, a raging fury clou

************ADLER "ADLER, LOOKOUT!" Rune yelled, And he was raising a droopy head just in time for a whole body to throw himself into him, sending both of them flying across the room and behind a wall as the gunfire persisted, with bullets relentlessly zipping through the air."What the fuck is wrong with you losing your composure in a gunfire?!" Priest demanded, his voice rising above the gunshots, as Adler, who was still gasping for breath, wondered if his knockout was personal, for he wasn't sure if the pain on his shoulder was a result of a sprain or a bullet searing through his arm."Priest, is he alright?" Rune's voice echoed from a distant corner of the room."Unfortunately," Priest hissed Four months after her death yet, nothing changed. The darkness surrounding him increased each day, and a weight so heavy it was hard to make a move; instead, he was becoming this bag of shutting down load Rune and Salvatore couldn't carry around.Four months since he had driven to the

KYRA.When the Godfather had demanded for her, demanded she abandon everything she was on and get back to the Manor, She knew it had something to do with Adler.And she was right."He stopped in the middle of a gunfire. Can you believe that?" Domenico roared, "Can you,"Yeah, she could, but she wasn't about to tell him that.Since she left Campania a week after Lily died, it had been one gruesome news to another; she knew it was going to get this bad. They said he had lost the will to live, they said he kept having a face-off with death willingly, and they told her the guilt was eating him alive.But she wouldn't know, not when she was in Rome, and every day she wanted back to Campania, see how the goofball was doing and sit with him cause there was no use trying to get him back on his feet.Now she stood before Domenico and could swear she saw his hands shake, but he held the wrap firmly, staring into space, the disappointment written all over his face.Opposite him, with a desk sepa

ADLERHis torment commenced with an insatiable yearning to rewrite the past, replaying the moments he had let her go. However, in his nightmares, he took a different course...**"I'm willing to do anything. Just tell me what you want,"****"I want you to stay, Lily, please stay,"**Each time he moved to embrace her, there was a sudden drift, the ground splitting and pulling her away. Despite his desperate pursuit in the dream, he never managed to catch her.What was the essence of making him relive his dread? Another punishment added to the already stacked pile? Alright, the universe better keep them coming.The harsh brightness against his shut lids had him flinching, and with an elbow, shielding his face contorted with a frown, Adler groaned, "Abbassa quella dannata tenda, stupido animale."His whining was obeyed, much to his surprise, the room becoming dim once again. His frown deepened; only Rune could pull this torment, then tell him to go fuck his feelings and get a haircut. He

ADLERThere used to be a time when he woke up to the sight of her sleeping; he remembered tracing the outline of her face and being able to tell if she was having a nightmare or a candy dream. But these days, his first thought was if the bottle was full.Today, it wasn't. So, throwing a shirt and leaving the buttons unattended, with the walls and rails partially supporting his steps, he was out of the room and moving towards the minibar. He could hear the tiny whispers from the housekeepers, their look in his direction driven by awe. But he understood them; it wasn't every day one spotted a live zombie right before you and, instead of seeking brains, ignored your existence.Reaching the door, he pushed it open, and, coming to the sight of the filled bar, he sighed in satisfaction.Months ago, beating Rune in his own thing never crossed his mind, but here they were, and no, the liquor did nothing to subside the pain, but it felt good to be unconscious for a while.Feeling the shift in

LILYI turned to her with a frown, "It makes me look bigger.Alessia exhaled her frustrations into her palms, and, looking at me, she sang my fear again, "You can't keep hiding your pregnancy, Lily. You're gone past that stage, and that gown is perfect."Scowling at her, my hands unconsciously flew to my bump, and realizing what I just did, my scowl was turned to myself.I never believed I would get this obsessed with a situation I wanted to get rid of, a situation I felt was a misfortune, for when I thought I was free of Adler, this little guy was kicking.__**FOUR MONTHS AGO**__"...You don't understand; she's dead. She died last week."My heart stopped beating. The phone pressed to my ear, threatening to fall off my hold, as I listened to the woman sob over the phone. She couldn't be serious. Was this the wrong number? Who the hell was she, and why was she playing this prank?"Excuse me, who are you? Clare can't be dead; I SAW HER WEEKS AGO!"It was a lot of heartache for one day;
