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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Imposter

    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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Just another victim

    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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Family

    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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Unfinished business

    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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Guns and cyanide I

    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

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Guns and cyanide II

    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

  • HER 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   Forbidden

    Emilia~"I should kill you." "...but you're already doomed with someone like Mr. Del Ponte." Those words kept replaying in my head like a broken record, and so were my last memories of Mae.I had fallen for him. I had fallen for the monster that he had become, and that in itself was a promise of my own downfall. Marcelo could never love me back. At least, not in the way that I love him. Somehow, I had always known this, and I was fine with it.Whatever good, whatever humanity he had, had been totally wrung out of him by his father. There was no saving him, no turning back for him.The fact that I actually thought for once that I could actually change him, was something I now deemed very stupid. Marcelo can not be changed.He would always remain a ferocious beast, that can not be tamed. At least, not by me.Last night, I found myself crawling into his bed again. It wasn't something I was proud of, but I've long realized that I can't help it. Marcelo is my curse, and indulging him, h

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Coward

    Emilia~"No!" I screamed in horror, as Martinez was dealt blow after blow, and he sat there taking them all.His face was all bloodied up and his eyes were swollen. The cowards tied him up to prevent him from fighting back.."Stop! Leave him alone!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, thrashing around in the grip of the man that held me down.Only my screams could be heard throughout the entire hall, but the men of ignored me and continue with their torture on Martinez.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched suffer, and I felt a strong sense of guilt knowing that I was the reason he was suffering this much. "No... please!" I sobbed, desperately trying to reach for him, but all my cries fell on deaf ears.They weren't going to stop until he was dead. I just knew it.Donatello was observing the scene at a close-up, and the smile on his face was a clear indication that he was enjoying it way too much. He had his hands in his pockets so casually, as he watched his men pummel Martinez

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Ready?

    EmiliaThe entire lounge was suddenly thrown into a state of chaos, as bodies began dropping from every corner. I instantly knew it was the work of Marcelo with a sniper rifle, and I decided to take advantage of their momentary distraction to run away with Chloe.My sister also seemed to be quite scared and confused about what was going , so I rushed to her side to explain the situation to her."What the hell is going on?" She asked in a panic.There was no time, so I busied myself with untying the restraints from her hands, while answering her simultaneously."A friend of mine. We need to get you as far away from here as possible." I grunted out, as I finally helped her up to her feet.I looked around to see Donatello and his men busy spraying bullets in all directions, as Martinez took them out one after the other. It was definitely now or never and from the look on my sister's face, she understood what was really at stake. "Ready?" I whispered to her, as we gave each other knowing

  • HER ONLY CRIME   A deal?

    Emilia~"Aaaw... don't be like that." Donatello taunted me, as I glared hard at him."The rules of the game are quite simple." He smiled."All you need to do is point out your sister from the two of them, and I'll kill the other one."He said it so casually, like it was the most normal thing. I already knew he was a very sick man, but somehow I keep getting surprised by the length he was willing to go to satisfy his psychotic cravings."Is it going to be this?" He smirked, pointing his gun at the female on his right."...or is it going to be that ?" He pointed the gun at the other female.Beads of sweat ran down my forehead, as I took a few steps towards the two females. Maybe if I get close enough, I'd be able to identify my sister."Not another step!" Donatello warned, halting me in my track almost instantly. I wasn't allowed to go closer than I already was, and I assumed I won't be allowed to touch and feel them also. Maybe it was time to focus on my sense of smell, but I doubt it

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Sister's keeper

    Emilia~I took in a deep breath, before walking into big hall. I didn't expect to be walking into some sort of fancy, social gathering, so I was a little underdressed for the occasion. I struggled to understand how and why Donatello would choose a place like this for our Meetup but then again, I really shouldn't be expecting anything normal from him at this point.Men and women filled the hall and from the way they all carried themselves, I could tell they were either spoiled or filthy rich. Some cool instrumentals were playing in the background, as they chattered amongst each other, oblivious to my presence. It reminded me of how invisible an average person was around really wealthy people. It was like I didn't even exist to them.I made my way through the crowd, scanning the environment for any sign of Donatello. I clearly wasn't mistaken, as this happened to be the same Bayton suites I was directed to.He was probably somewhere watching me now and if I was right, he should be sen

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Plan II

    Emilia~I arched an eyebrow at the bags Martinez was carrying on both arms. "What happened to travelling light?" I asked, to which he just chuckled.He stopped in front of me, before dropping the bags to the floor. I watched him bend down to unzip the bags one after the other, and I found out that they were packed with weapons."A sniper?" I asked in utter bewilderment, making him shrug ."You can never be too careful these days." He said.He spent another couple minutes doing a thorough inspection of all the weapons, and even assembling and loading a few of them. I just watched in fascinating as he handled them like a pro, for someone who rarely ever uses guns.Once Martinez was done, he loaded the bags into the vehicle we would be using, which happened to be some type of truck. He stated that after what happened on our last "road trip" it would be wise to use a bigger and stronger vehicle. We both got into the car, with Martinez in the driver's seat, while I was seated beside him.

  • HER ONLY CRIME   A plan

    Emilia~The whole mansion felt unusually empty. It was almost as if everyone had gone into hiding.I knew Marcelo was probably being hard on his men, as he forced them to work harder towards tracking down and finding Chloe. The household staff were also put under immense pressure, as their boss seemed to be on edge.I had woken up this morning to Marcelo's absence, and he had left a note of explanation for me, with a wrapped present. I knew he still felt pretty bad and was blaming himself for what happened to my sister. It also didn't help that I wasn't talking to him, so the only way he could communicate with me was through notes like this.According to the content of his letter, he was going to be gone for up to a week and wasn't going to return till Chloe is found and brought home. I decided to use his absence as an opportunity to make my own move, and maybe I'll be able to save him all the stress.Marcelo had many garages in his mansion, all of which I have access to. I wasn't ne

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Decisions

    Emilia~Days have passed since my chilling encounter with Marcelo's father, the infamous Donatello. However, I have not been able to get the events of that night off my mind.What started out as a beautiful, evening date with the man I've grown to love, suddenly turned into a nightmare before my very eyes. It was all too much for me to take in, too much for me to just get over like that.To think that monster had my sister. He was trying to use Chloe to make me leave Marcelo. He knew she is the only family I have left, he knew how important my sister is to me. He wanted me out of Marcelo's life that bad.I had chosen Marcelo over Chloe once before, could I really do that again?I absent-mindedly played with the engagement ring on my finger, as I lay in one corner of the bathroom, curled into a ball. This was where I spent most of my time, over the past few days. Not even Marcelo could get me to come out, and nothing seemed to be able to cheer me up.I thought back to that night and ho

  • HER ONLY CRIME   Marcelo, don't!

    Marcelo~Stepping hard on the gas, I didn't care about how fast I was going. The only thoughts that occupied my mind were those of my father, and what he was probably doing to Emilia right now."Fucking pick up the damn call!" I growled at my cellphone, as I was unable to reach Martinez.I had turned on the GPS tracker connected to his phone, and it disturbed me even more to see that they have been in one spot the whole time. What could really be going on? Was Martinez there to protect her, or had my father finally gotten hold of both of them?I was never really a religious person or someone who believed in the concept of praying to a god, but I found myself muttering some prayers underneath my breath. I hoped above anything else that I find her alive, or I'll never forgive myself for failing to protect her. For once, I wished for some sort of miracle, and it scared me as much as it angered me. According to the tracking device, I was already almost there. I reached for a nearby pis

    Marcelo~Only a few minutes of a gruesome gun battle, and bodies were scattered everywhere. I had lost a good number of men, but we were somehow able to overpower our attackers.One of the mask men lay before me. He had been badly hurt, and I could hear him gasping for air. I took aim at him, before firing my gun and watching him go limp. I ended his misery instantly."Boss!" Andre, one of my men called my attention from behind me.His footsteps stopped just a few paces away from me, as I bent down to close the eyes of the lifeless man in front of me."We cleared them all out." Andre announced.I let out a sigh, before standing up to my full height. Reaching into my pockets for a cigar, I held it between my lips before lighting it for a puff. Andre remained silent the whole time, waiting for a response from me.I had sent Emilia away to safety, so her absence allowed me the opportunity to cut loose and let out my monstrous side on these assholes. It wasn't a sight that I was comfortab
