HER ONLY CRIME Soft
Marcelo~[A/N: Just a little flashback at Marcelo's life with his father.]I sat across from my father at the passenger seat of his limousine. It's been two days since my mother's funeral, and we were now moving to his residence in Sicily.Memories of my mother's gruesome death were still fresh on my young mind; memories of how my father killed her."It was an accident." I had told the police officers who came to investigate and at this point, I loathed myself for it.My eyes lazily scanned the passing scenery from the car window. I was determined to look anywhere else but at my father."Beautiful, right?" His gruffy voice interrupted my train of thoughts, and I pretended not to hear him.I heard him sigh heavily, before adjusting on his seat. He was just as my mother had always described him; a villain."Guardami, figliolo!" He whispered in a threatening voice, and I slowly peeled my eyes off the road.My cold gaze was now fixated on green eyes, which were very similar to mine. It m

Marcelo~Emilia.I don't know how long I've been lying here, but she seemed to have been here with me the whole time.Light snores were coming from her, as she rested her head on the bed. I frowned, thinking of how uncomfortable it must be for her.I let out a groan, as I tried to assume a sitting position. A searing pain was coming from the side of my stomach, and that was when I finally remembered what really happened. I was stabbed...by my father.Trying my hardest not to wake Emilia, I snuck right out of the bed, looking around the room for more appropriate clothing. I understand my own clothes must have been drenched in blood, but I wasn't going to just keep wearing this stupid gown.She stirred a little in her sleep, and I didn't realize it at first, but I held my breath. I really didn't want to wake her.I decided to head towards the bathroom to ease myself and probably take a shower. Where the fuck was Martinez when I needed him the most?I had totally stripped out of the hos

Emilia ~I stood in front of Marcelo, as he tried to walk out of the room. He tried to sidestep me multiple times, but I was stubborn."Move!" He hissed in an annoyed tone."Not until you answer my damn question!" I fired back at him.I might not know much about any other thing, but there was someone out there, who was paying to see me dead. There has been two attempts on my life so far, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified at this point.To make matters worse, Marcelo had returned to his normal bossy self, as soon as we returned to the mansion. I didn't need him to tell me what to do to stay safe, I needed him to tell me what was really going on between him and his father.I needed to know why they're always trying to get rid of one another, and why I'm being dragged into the whole thing."I have nothing to tell you." Marcelo spat, and I let out a scoff at his words."...other than the fact that your father keeps sending assassins after me?" I chuckled humorlessly.He said n

Emilia~I found myself unable to catch some sleep tonight, despite the fact that I was so tired.I believed it had something to do with Marcelo not being here on the same bed with me. I had gotten pretty used to his arms wrapped around me, while I sleep. It was either that, or I was just worried about where he must have run off to.Hopefully he wasn't doing something as stupid as going alone to confront his father again. I could only hope that he values his life enough to continue staying alive.Finally having enough tossing and turning on the bed, I decided it was time I got up and probably go downstairs for a drink or two. Fastening my robe around my body, I put on my flip flops, before heading towards the door. A yawn threatened to leave me, but it never came.I finally got to the living room downstairs, and the stench of cigarettes immediately caught my attention. At first, I thought it was Marcelo, until I recalled that he wasn't anywhere around the mansion.Scrunching up my no

Emilia~I sat worriedly beside an unconscious Chloe, as she was now laying on my bed. Even in this state, her face was contorted into a frown, as the nurses attended to her. Apparently, she was forcing herself to regain her lost memories, and that was why her body went into a shock.Mae stood at a corner of the room, observing the whole thing and I smiled gratefully at her. If not for her timely intervention last night, I might have ended up loosing my sister.It just so happened that she was also returning to the mansion, at the exact same moment. She was able to put Chloe's seizures under control, before alerting the standby medical team to nurse her back to full health.A nurse turned to me, before clearing his throat to get my attention. I took my eyes off my sister to look up at him, but I didn't let go of her hand."Looks like we're done here for now." He said, and I waited to hear more from him."However, I'd stay away from the alcohol if I were her. It doesn't really help wit

Emilia~The cup of coffee was still sitting right on the table beside me. It remained untouched, and I was getting increasingly nervous, as I thought of a good excuse to avoid drinking it.Of course, Mae was standing right behind me, and I knew that because I could feel her eyes on me the whole time. She was waiting patiently for me to take a drink out of my cup of coffee."Coffee's getting really cold now!" She said in a singsong tone, startling me all of a sudden.I didn't want to offend her by not taking the coffee that she took her time to make for me, but at the same time, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something about to go terribly wrong.I chuckled nervously, before reaching out to grab the cup again. It was no longer as steamy as earlier, and I slowly brought it up to my nose for a subtle sniff."You don't think I'm trying to poison you, right?" Mae suddenly asked, and I turned around to shake my head at her."No...of course not!" I replied her timidly, watch

Emilia~"Hear that, Miss Anderson?" She whispered to me."They want me to let you go."I whimpered at her words, knowing that no amount of pleas could make her change her mind at this moment. "Please, don't do this!" I begged her, knowing that this could probably end really badly for her, if she decides to go ahead and kill me.Marcelo will never let her live. He will hunt her down like a wolf does to a rabbit, and that's even if she's able to escape the four walls of this mansion in the first place.A hysterical laughter ripped from Mae, and it didn't take an expert to know that she was slowly loosing it. She had been entirely consumed by grief, and I felt more sympathy for her than fear.She was just like me, a big sister trying to look out for her younger one. She was probably filled with a lot of regret and guilt, at the fact that she wasn't able to protect Martha.I would also be vengeful if I were her, but then again, it wasn't going to end well. She could kill me, but that wo
Last Updated : 2024-12-29HER ONLY CRIME Weeping flowers
Marcelo~For a moment, I thought I lost her. I thought I was already too late, and it filled me with a mixture of both fear and rage like I've never had before.I had enough rage in me to tear through the door like paper. Punch after punch, till my fists were bleeding. I didn't care about my pain or discomfort. All I cared about was keeping Emilia alive. I didn't understand why I was doing this, but I still didn't see myself reacting any other way. Then there she was, standing over Mae's lifeless body. She had blood splattered all over her face, blood that wasn't hers. Her baby blue eyes, now appeared very dull and lifeless, as a few tear drops fell from them.It's been over two weeks since that incident now, and Emilia still hasn't said a single word to anybody.She would spend most of her time cooped up in the confines of the penthouse. If she wasn't there, she would be down in the middle of the flower fields, where Mae was laid to rest.I was itching to talk to her, to hold her a

HER ONLY CRIME Expecting
Emilia~A couple months have gone by since everything that happened between Chloe and Martinez. Things were slowly falling back into place, as Marcelo seemed to have found himself a new consigliere.I no longer had nightmares that keep me up all night, and I was grateful for that. I considered myself extremely lucky for having someone as sweet and as considerate as Marcelo.In a couple days, we'd officially be tying the knot and getting married. However, that wasn't the only thing I was looking forward to.I was counting days to my due date of delivery, as my stomach had gotten way bigger. My feet were very swollen, and I had added a few too many pounds within the past months.There were times when I woke up feeling disgusted by my reflection in the mirror, and ultimately slipping into some form of depression. I would look at former pictures of myself and compare them to the way I was looking right now, and all I'd do is cry and complain.Marcelo had always been patient with me all
HER ONLY CRIME Fear
Emilia~"Sounds to me like a really scary movie." Marcelo remarked with chuckle, earning a hard glare from me.I had taken my time to narrate the terrible nightmare I had last night, and that was all he had to say?He looked up to flash me an apologetic smile, before going back to buckling his shoes. I had already made up my mind to stop him from going out today or even tomorrow, pending when I stop getting dreams like that.Marcelo finally stood up to leave, after having been dressed up for work. He gave himself a once over in the nearby mirror, before grabbing his suitcase.I stubbornly maintained a position in front of the door, determined not to let him leave."Seriously?" Marcelo arched an eyebrow at my antic, and I couldn't tell if he was annoyed or amused by it."I'm not letting you out of my sight today." I said stubbornly."Because of one scary dream?" "Not a dream, Marcelo. It's a nightmare." I corrected."Besides, if you can get to tell me when I can and cannot go out, I s
HER ONLY CRIME Trophies
Emilia~"What's the matter, Emilia?" He asked, grinning maliciously at me, from where he was tied to the chair."M... Martinez?" I managed to stutter, and his grin widened.I could see the gaping wound in his head from where he had been shot, and it freaked me out to no end. Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"This isn't real!" I muttered to myself, backing away slowly from him."Aren't you happy to see me, Emilia? Martinez continued, his voice higher by an octave.He was suddenly jumping around in the chair, tugging at his restraints with a crazed look in his eyes. My eyes widened at the horror that was unraveling before me, and I took further steps away from him. I was convinced that this was all a bad dream, but why the hell wasn't I waking up already?Martinez continued to thrash around in his seat, scaring me even more. He had a semblance to a wild, rabid animal with the way he behaved. Saliva was pouring from his from his mouth as he yelled and cuss at me, calling me names he neve
HER ONLY CRIME Messages and replies
Emilia~The crowd was gone, and it was just me and Marcelo in the open clearing. Martinez's personal belongings lay on the ground before us. It was time for Marcelo to set them ablaze, but he was hesitating for obvious reasons.Turns out that setting fire to the personal belongings of someone you love, wasn't really an easy task. He bent down to pick a particular portrait of of a younger version of himself and Martinez. They were both in suits, and Martinez was the only one smiling in the picture."Our first mission together." Marcelo said in a nostalgic voice, running his fingers across the framed portrait. "He was the first alliance I ever made, even before I got my freedom from my father. He advised me to take the first step to my freedom, and that was how ended up being a mafia boss in the first place." "He was a brave man." I butt in from beside Marcelo, as we both looked at the portrait."Very brave." Marcelo agreed, before dropping the portrait back with the other stuff. "I
HER ONLY CRIME Just human
Emilia~Mourning the departure of a loved one was done a little differently in the mafia. Members are mandated to tattoo the name of the deceased onto their skin, as a way of ensuring that the individual would never be forgotten. Personally belongings and pictures of the deceased would also be burnt for whatever reason, and members were not allowed to shed tears, at least not in the public.Another thing was their unique way of burying their dead. Basically, they are allowed to choose how and where they want to be buried in the unfortunate event of their demise.Apparently, Martinez had requested for his body to be burnt, so here we were gathered in the middle of a large clearing. My eyes were fixated on the enormous fireplace that had been prepared for his body. I should say I was surprised by the number of people who were in attendance of Martinez's funeral. I saw both familiar and unfamiliar faces, some of which Marcelo took his time to tell me about. It was a Mafia's funeral,
HER ONLY CRIME Not for long
Marcelo ~My father got away.Learning about that particular information had succeeded in pissing me off to no end. What do they mean by "he got away"? How could he have had information about our arrival on such a short notice."Listen, I don't care how long it takes or how much money it's going to cost me. I want you all to find that man and bring him to me." I seethed into the phone."Dead or alive, I want him here by tomorrow. Understood?" There was no hesitation from the other end of the phone, as my answer came almost instantly."Perfectly understood, Boss!" I hung up the call to make a series more, but then I realized that all my angry shouting was probably being a disturbance to Emilia. She had been in the bathroom for quite some time now, which was understandable. She had so much blood stains all over her. I turned to look towards the direction of the bathroom, and I could see her naked silhouette through the steam covered, glass walls. This way I was keeping an eye on her
HER ONLY CRIME The bereaved
Marcelo~"Search everywhere!" I barked at my men, as they scoured every nook and cranny of the five-star hotel.My father bought this place not too long ago, and I should have suspected, I should have known he was up to no good. What other reason was he going to need a hotel for, if not for the desire to carry on with his sick, twisted ways. I and my men have invaded this place, and we were carrying out a full sweep operation. One way or the other, I was going to fish him out. I knew he must be keeping Emilia and the others somewhere around, and it was only going to be a matter of time until they are found."Boss, you need to see this." One of my men called out, as he run towards my direction.The look on his face bore a semblance to that of someone who had just seen a ghost. I wasted no time in following him towards this "thing I needed to see".Running up a spiral flight of stairs that led to some kind of lounge, I saw what looked a portrait of my father hanging on a wall. "Someb
HER ONLY CRIME Big sis
Emilia~Chloe swiped the stolen key card against the the lock on the door, and it immediately clicked open. "Fuck yeah!" She exclaimed, doing a little victory dance.I stayed right behind her, as she peeked her head through door to inspect the environment outside. She put her head back inside, before looking at me from head to toe. Chloe seemed to have a doubtful expression on her face as she regarded me, and it got me feeling a little anxious. I wanted to know what was going through her mind."What's the matter?" I questioned, a worried expression etched onto my face. "We're going to have to make a run for the elevator at the end of the hallway." She said, still eyeing me in a somewhat skeptical manner. I gave her an unimpressed look, as I registered what she was trying to say. "I just don't know if you'll fit in it." She remarked, like I was really that fat. "Haha, Chloe. Very funny!" I retorted sarcastically, shoving her out of my way to to peek through the door too. I hear
HER ONLY CRIME We wait!
Emilia~"Somebody help!" My sister screamed at the top of her voice, as she knelt beside my quivering body.Her movements were frantic, as she was unsure of where to touch me and how to hold me."Please! Anyone, help!" She continued to cry out desperately, looking down at me with fear in her eyes.I was having a seizure, or at least that was what this was supposed to look like. I was also in awe of Chloe's acting skills, as she managed to look and sound pretty convincing.We were both doing our best to put up an act that would make those men walk right through the door. It was all part of our plan."She's going to die, please help!" Chloe became more frantic, going as far as banging on the door to give the impression that she was in a panicked state.The door suddenly opened to let in two of Donatello's men, and they looked pretty convinced by our act. One of them even appeared to be visibly paler, on seeing me. I was glad that everything was going according to plan."What the hell is
