"When the heart gets too heavy with pain, people don't cry. They just turn silent. Completely silent"~ love.is.betrayal (Instagram)"Here" I hand her the file, the maid snatches it greedily, her eyes shine with ill intent.I glance back at the door, fearing that the guard has followed behind me, I hid the file inside my dress and stormed out of the office as soon as I found it.It was easy to find as all the other files were blue, this was the only red one, something tells me this is an important file and I have made a grave mistake."Good job" the stupid bitch grins at me, I look away annoyed "let go of my sister" I say firmly, she stops scanning through the file pages and looks up at me.She shuts the file close "what's the rush? Besides, she is now being looked after by a doctor because of the service you provided us with" she hugs the file to her chest.I clench my eyes imagining how much pain she must be in, how scared and lonely she must be feeling."I've done what you had aske
"When trust is broken, sorry means nothing"~ UnknownI kneed my fingers together nervously, my feet tapping on the floor, I glance at Salvatore who has his back turned to me, he's making himself a drink in the corner bar in his office.It's just me and him here, alone.After witnessing the brutal torture Salvatore brought me here in his office, he made me sit down on the sofa while he strided away towards the bar.I know I have to speak now, I am doomed, Salvatore's silence is killing me.He finally turns around with two glasses of whiskey in hand, he walks towards me and sits beside me, I don't fail to notice the distance he has maintained between us which breaks my heart.I'm craving his proximity, his hostile behavior is driving me nuts.He silently puts down one glass on the table sliding it towards my direction, I stare at the golden liquid, I pick it up and gulp down the content in one go.My throat burns welling up my eyes, I cough loudly, I slam the glass back on the table.S
"I was running out of miracles, but then I met you"~ d.j"I know you're awake" I hear the stool scraping on the floor, I keep my eyes shut and breathing steady.I sense his warmth beside me.After Ray left I knew Salvatore would visit but I wasn't ready to meet him so I decided to act asleep, he caught me at first glance."Daisy" he sighs, I stop my breathing so I don't move even an inch, he stays quiet, I can feel the building pressure in my chest.I shouldn't had stopped my breathing, now I'm actually dying.Go! Go!! I need to breath, my conscious screams at him."You're all blue, breath" there's a hint of amusement in his voice, I exhale out a loud breath, my eyes open wide, this was a terribe idea.My head feels dizzy for a moment, I take deep breaths, thank God for air."Are you done?" He asks impatiently, I realize he's still here, I turn my head to the other side, not wanting to see him."I should be the one refusing to talk" he says annoyed, I roll my eyes, his warm hand grip
"Here lies the raw, unpolished and mostly disjointed pieces of my soul"~ The princess saves herself in this one"I think we should make a proper burial site for her" I say keeping my eyes fixated on Sophia's grave, the fake patches of grass have been removed, the place has been cleaned around.Salvatore is standing by my side, silently staring at his mother's grave, this is rhe first time he has stepped here."Are you ok?" I ask gazing at him worriedly, he glance at me "is it weird that I feel no sort of attachment to her?" He asks in a worried voice, my heart shatters at his concern but more though I can't imagine how much pain Sophia's soul must have been in all these years knowing her son wasn't aware of her existence."It's quite normal, you didn't know of her, but now you do, I suggest you try to get to know about her, she's your mother, try to build a little relationship with her" I suggest rubbing his arm lovingly."Madam Joy has a picture of her, I can ask her to give it to u
"Stay close to people who feel like sunlight"~ Unknown Knock! Knock!Light knocking on the door makes me wake up drowsily, I look around the empty bedroom, Salvatore left early this morning saying he had to help his brother track down the threat.Knock! Knock!I gaze at the door, "come in" I say groggily, I sit up, leaning my back against the headboard, my lower body feels soar, we were up half of the night making love.Last night after Senior Capo's confession Salvatore was distraught.I spent the night consoling him, he didn't cry, he was just confused about his emotions which was stressing him out, my heart is hurts knowing that I can't do anything to save him from this pain.I look at the maid who walks inside rolling in a cart full of delicious breakfast, I'm surprised to see Lucia following behind her.I cover my bare legs with the duvet, my upper body is covered with Salvatore's previously discarded shirt, I wore it because I was feeling cold."Buongiorno" (Good morning) Luci
"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance"~ Albert Einstein "DAISY!" a hear a screaming voice penetrate through my buzzing head, a firm hand grabs my arm, my body comes out of the shock, I turn around to see a panicked Lucia holding onto me."Come!" She screams on top of all the chaos, only one guard is left with us, he grabs Lucia's hand as she does mine, he starts bolting towards the nearest exit, my heart drops as I realize we're on the third floor of the mall."Prenderemo le scale, state bassi" (We'll take the stairs, stay low) the guard yells descending down the stairs.Gun shots ring all around us, I duck down just in time as a bullet pierces the wall above me, the concrete wall explodes making dust fly around.I cough out loud but don't stop, "Ho bisogno di rinforzi! Siamo sotto attacco!" (I need back up! We're under attack!) The guard screams in his bluetooth.He finally stops at the last stair and gestures us to wait, I can hear my harsh breathing thumping
"And little by little, she found the courage for it all"~ JH HardA strong force hits my chest, "oomph" I whimper as I fall down on the ground, my left elbow hits hard on the floor."Che diavolo!?" (What the hell!?) the boss says annoyed, I lift up my face to see what just happened, the guard who was with us for our protection had pushed me away and taken the bullet to his chest."No!" I gasp in horror, he groans on the ground clutching his chest, I crawl towards him and hold onto him, thank god the bullet hit his right side."Sto bene signora, corri" (I'm fine madam, run) he grits his teeth in pain, tears fill my eyes as I look at his bloodied hand covering up his wound."Capo i Moretti sono qui" (Boss the Moretti's are here) a guard walks up to the boss and announces, "Finalmente!" (finally!) he says with a wicked laugh, he strides towards me clutching my hair in his bruising grip."Ahh" I dig my nails in his hand, he pulls my hair further, "stand up bitch, it's time to meet your
"The truth is, some people will never know you, and utterly hate you for who they think you are"~ Samantha King HolmesI yelp as the panicked boss pulls me towards him with his gun pointed to my temple, I look up at Salvatore in fear."Non imparano mai" (They never learn) he says shaking his head in fake disappointment, "Sto arrivando" (I'm coming) he throws his rifle away putting his hand up in a surrendering motion, he steps back, I glance towards the stairs then back at the second floor.I'm left stunned when I see him jumping from the second floor, I move towards him but the boss stops me, I watch in horror as Salvatore lands on his feet looking perfect.Did he actually do that? I'm too stunned, my eyes frantically scan his body, he shurgs his shoulder and looks at me "Sto bene tesoro" (I'm fine baby) he winks at me, my body relaxes.He makes his way towards us, he's wearing the a black uniform similar to the men on the second floor."Fermare! Un altro passo e te ne pentirai!" (S
"Out of all my sins, you're my favourite"~UnknownNo.I cannot let Dario ruin me! His lie is going to cost me everything that I hold dear to me.Salvatore, how can he trust Dario over the woman he claims to love?And Ray.. she's misunderstanding me!Salvatore broke me, the doubt and mistrust in his eyes spoke volumes. I'm not taking him back now, I'll prove my innocence and leave this place for good.I clench my fists and march towards Salvatore's office, ready to fight fot my innocence, a maid stops me midway. "Capo is not in his office" she says, hurriedly stepping infront of me. I give her a questioning look, but he just said that he was heading there with Dario."He's upstairs in his brother's room" she points towards the stairs. I don't give it much thought and turn my direction. My only goal is to leave this palace, each second is suffocating me.I finally reach Giovanni's room, I push open the door. It's cold inside, no one has occupied this room since he passed away.Surpri
"A storyteller makes up things to help other people, a liar makes up things to help himself"~ Daniel Wallace"N-No" I stutter out the words in pure disbelief. Salvatore's hard stare pins me down, questioning me.Don't look at me like that, please. I request through my eyes."What more proof do you want son? I knew my intuition can never be wrong" Senior Capo speaks, pleased by himself that he is proven right."You know this is a lie" I whisper. My eyes frantically searching for him despite him standing infront of me.Salvatore doesn't respond, I can see the doubt creeping in, like a fire engulfing a forest in it's blazing flames. "This is your love for your brother?" Madam Guilia snickers coldly."You were abandoning your brother's child, your own blood for someone else's dirty blood" her nostrils flare with each word."You're a liar Salvatore! You never loved him, he was just a mean of convenience for you, you knew how much he adored you, he always protected you from everything! Y
"The truth is, some people will never know you, and utterly hate you for who they think you are"~ Samantha King Holmes"Daisy.."Salvatore calls for me from the other side of the bathroom door. I don't respond.I have locked myself inside for the past few hours, just sitting on the closed toilet seat, staring into nothingness.After the doctor left, Ray rushed to inform Salvatore. I didn't wait for him. "Amore mio.. Cuore mio... mi dispiace" (My love.. My heart... I'm sorry) he expresses his regret in a broken voice. I shut my eyes close. "Daisy, I'll have to break this door if you don't open it now" I sense a hint of tiredness in his voice.It's been hours since he's been trying to reach out to me, but I have completely blocked him.He has been apologising profusely, he told me how Senior Capo sent him to check on an important shipment and ordered for the test behind his back.He promised to take me away from here, he says he now understands what I meant.I wish he understood it
"The silence left by loss is as loud as a thousand voices raised to the sky in pain" ~ Edward Lee "..... and I peed myself" I say with a fake crying face, Ray bursts into a fit of laughter. A small smile makes it's way to my lips. She's finally distracted, I'm glad my silly childhood stories could take her mind off Dario. She was upset after he left ignoring her completely. We were sharing our most embarrassing moments, Ray continues with one of her own but gets startled as the bedroom door is pushed open and loudly bangs on the side wall. I'm suprised it didn't fall from it's hinges. Both Ray and I stare in horror as madam Guilia enters my room with her guards and the palace doctor tailing her. "Tu puttana!" (You whore!) She screams charging at me. Instinctively I crawl back, Ray stands infront of me, blocking madam Guilia. The doctor is fast to grab on madam's upper arm "signora, per favore si calmi" (madam, please calm down) she says gritting her teeth as she tri
"Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult"~ Unknown "Come stai mamma?" (How are you mama?) I ask clutching the phone tightly, I hear a sigh of relief from the other side."Molto meglio ora il mio raggio di sole" (Much better now my sunshine) her voice trembles with emotions, I make my way towards the bed and sit down, Salvatore gave me his phone so I can talk to my family.He informed me that mama has been sick since I was taken away, even after she got to know that I am free of all the accusations her health still hasn't gotten any better."Mamma..""Ascoltami Daisy" (Listen to me Daisy) she speaks in a stern voice making me remember my childhood when I used to sneak out with Dario and when I got back home she would use this exact stern voice at me but papa saved me everytime."Voglio che tu esca da quel posto il prima possibile" (I want you to get out of that place as soon as possible) she says worriedly, my eyes instantly shift towards the closed door of my be
"And find the place where every single thing you see tells you to stay"~ Seeker Salvatore shifted me back to our bedroom, even though I didn't wanted to be here but he isn't in the mood to listen to me.He assigned 2 maids for my assistance, even though I am perfectly capable of moving and doing my own work.He left saying he'll be back after an hour, I took this time to lay on the bed and ponder over what just happened, I gently put my hand over my stomach and rub it.Ofcourse this had to happen, considering the amount of love making we were doing.I sigh leaning against the headboard, what do I do now? Salvatore will never let me go now.Half an hour later the door to opens, I glance at that direction, a small head of brown curly hair peeks inside the room, I sit up straight."Who is it?" I ask tilting to have better look, with shy steps a small boy enters inside the bedroom followed by Salvatore.The boy is clutching tight on his pointer finger with his small hands, my heart melt
"It's a journey not a race, keep going at your own pace"~ Lesley DianaI wake up alone in the morning, I'm not surprised as Salvatore is an early riser, I look around and find a bag of food beside me and a note attached to it. I take it and read through it.'Good morning Mio Amore,I got you breakfast, when your anger is subsided please return back to our room, if you still don't want to then I'm not going to force you but remember it's also your room and you can use it to freshen up or change your clothesYoursSalvatore''Your room' I roll my eyes remembering is previous words that he said to me.I clear up the area and stack my things in a corner, I do need to use the restroom, I go to Ray's room and use her bathroom, I take a shower and change into a new dress.I step out inside the room while drying my hair with the towel, "You're getting beautiful by each passing day" a male voice makes me yelp in surprise, with wide eyes I stare at Dario.My heart drops seeing him here "what a
"Value your peace more than people's opinions"~ Rithvik Singh"Where are you taking me?" I question as I notice the familiar path leading towards his room, "our room" he answers in a tired voice, I stop instantly, noticing my lack of movement he turns back gazing at me confused."I'm not going there" I say firmly, he sighs remembering my previous words, "I apologized Daisy, please come with me" he requests, I shake my head staying firm to my words."I hope you get a good night sleep, goodbye" I turn around towards the stairs, I can feel his intense gaze boring holes in my back but I ignore it.I return back to the back garden back to my secret corner, I notice few sheers layed on the grass, away from Sophia's grave, two bags sitting beside the sheets, one full of clothes ans the other with fruits and water bottles.I smile gratefully "Ray" I whisper looking up at the sky, she's the best.I chnage into a light material sundress behind a tree and make my way towards my sheet bed, I not
"What hurts the most is letting go of the one who meant the most"~ j.m. wise"Signore, abbiamo controllato il sistema del suo ufficio e ho trovato questo chip, sembra che qualcuno stesse cercando di controllare le sue impostazioni di sicurezza, grazie a Dio il chip ha funzionato male e abbiamo rilevato l'errore in tempo, altrimenti chiunque l'abbia fatto avrebbe potuto accedere facilmente all'interno del suo ufficio" (Sir, we checked your office system and I found this chip, it seems like someone was trying to control your security settings, thank god the chip malfunctioned and we caught the error on time or else whoever did this could had easily accessed inside in your office) the palace technician informs showing us a small microchip held between his gloved thumb and pointer finger."Come può qualcuno superare il sistema così facilmente?" (How can someone get through the system so easily?) Salvatore rages at his man.I silently observe around the office room, I found out that behin
