Thank you for reading.
Mia. Yesterday I didn't leave my room after I left my dad and his guests in the living room. I'm thankful they didn't bother me because I needed that rest. Today, I feel so much more tired than I was yesterday. The headache and the frequent heart skip didn't go away. And now, I'm staring at Alessio absent-mindedly, following his lip movement but grasping nothing for the thirty minutes we have been here. Why am I even here in the first place? Today, I left so early before he could wake up. I hate seeing him hurt and thought it would be better if I didn't look at him. But now I'm regretting I made that decision. I miss him and he hasn't called or sent me a message like he does every time I leave the house.Alessio said he had something he wanted us to talk about. He is looking for investors for his new company, and I don't understand why though.The man is loaded as it is. Why would he need our support for that matter? Among the present men is Rico. I have noticed he does not talk
Mia. Just say it" I defeatedly mumble feeling lost."I'm sorry Mia, he couldn't make it"I don't even know when my phone dropped on the floor. Without the energy of picking it up, my legs on their own accord lead me out of the stall like a zombie. Everything and everyone around me blurs and all I could do is cry. The day I have been dreading came so early and found me unprepared. God, this is so hard.I have been walking for hours now, and I don't even feel tired. I just want to be away from the world. I hate how reality slaps so hard. Maybe if I stay away some more, I will eventually wake up from this horrid dream. I spot a beach and decide to take refuge in the water. The place is calm with the tender evening sun. Families and couples are all over having fun and enjoying each other's company. I never had that. There is no day we went out as a family. The only thing I have been doing from the moment I could walk was throwing knives and aiming guns. The only outings mother to
Rico.She looks tired. The dark circles around her eyes are evidence that she never slept. The eyes that always capture my attention are dull and tired from crying. I knew he wouldn't stay for long. The man was already tired and sadly, he couldn't fight it anymore. At the club yesterday, she was in a meeting but her mind wasn't. The only thing she did was stare at me, and I wondered what was going through her head.I never knew how jealous felt until I saw her with that boy. It got me so angry that she left us inside to go talk to some guy. To make matters worse, that fucked up idiot is her age mate, and I couldn't stop thinking what if she thinks I'm too old for her. I want us to have a conversation. I know the fights don't guarantee anything unless she is willing to be mine. She was not even a contestant and that makes me worried. What does she think of me? Does she find me attractive? Fuck Rico.I thought I was not interested, but the more I look at her, the more I feel the ne
Mia. I don't want to admit it but I think I like him. The Way he took care of me yesterday was so heartwarming, and I'm so glad I didn't have to go through the pain alone. I separate myself from his hold and spare a second to admire him. Sleeping Rico looks completely different from when he is awake. Right now he doesn't have his signature scowl. Instead, his face is calm and so cute. His lips are slightly parted as he releases soft snores. Looking at him now, I'm glad I got in that ring to claim him as mine. With a tired sigh, I kiss his cheek and drag myself out of bed. I still can't believe my dad is gone and that I have a funeral to arrange. How will I forget someone I have known all my life? I lazily take the stairs to the living room and like every other morning, the family is present but today it's quiet. The boys watch me as I descend the stairs until my bare feet touch the living room floor "Boss" Fabio acknowledges and everyone present nods at me. "Can I have a cof
My heart feels uneasy. I feel like the world around me is about to scramble and I can't do anything to stop it.I have this fear of the unknown. The looks they gave me earlier are still imprinted in my mind. I haven't told anyone about it yet, and it's troubling me.As I watch my father's casket get lowered to the void ground, reality starts setting in that this is happening. That the man whom I love so much is no longer here. To make matters worse, the red dot hovering above my chest is like another wake-up call. It's like the universe is trying to tell me something. "Fuck! Mia move back" Rico snaps placing a hand on my shoulder and slightly pushing me from the danger, but I place mine on him to stop him. I'm only glad that he does as told because I would never imagine him disrespecting me in front of my men.I don't move or react in any way. This only means that he is present and he can end me any moment he wishes. Like right now.The many people surrounding me, the family that D
Rico."Do something man" Alessio whispers as he stared at the sad girl wailing on her father's grave, and quickly looks away."Let her have her time first" It's sad looking at her form. "This is harder than I thought, I can't believe Seb is no more" he sighs rubbing his forehead stressfully. "Shit happens bro," I whisper squeezing his shoulders in comfort. "I'm trusting you, brother, please don't fail me. I can't look at her for another minute" If I didn't know Alessio, I would say he is about to cry."I'm taking her to the cabin for some time if that's okay with you" "I will call to know how she's doing" he quickly puts on his sunglasses and walks away. The graveyard is almost empty. Only ten of her men are here and the girl from that crappy neighborhood."Hey," I say approaching the guy Fabio. I have noticed he is closest to her than any of her workers."I'm taking her with me, you can go ahead" The man stares at me in doubt, like he is not sure about my request."I will have to
Mia. The crazy headache makes me turn on the soft mattress I'm laying on.Why are the birds so loud today?Unwillingly, I open my eyes to find myself in an unknown environment.No one is around here, and I almost scream when I notice how stained the white sheets are. My dress, my body, and especially my fingers are covered in mad.Crap.My dad!Oh no!I close my eyes and take in deep breaths. I need to be strong, I just don't know how?My head is not even functioning right now.Standing up on wobbly feet, I cautiously walk out of the room without forgetting my gun.I don't know whose house I slept in, and I just can't assume shit.I can tell this place is located in the suburbs due to the many trees surrounding the house. I hear murmurs in the next room and I quickly lift my gun, and slowly push open the door.Fuck! My men."Boss!" Both men instantly look up with cautious eyes. I must look like shit."Where is this place?" I mumble, dropping my gun."Rico brought you here," Dante says
Mia. This is so hard to believe but what choice do I have? Truth hurts. Their laughs, their smiles, were all fake. How could I read beyond them when they appeared so real? This is making me feel so hopeless. I will have to be cautious of my own shadow from now on. This shit killed my parents, and I'm too young to die just because of money that I don't need. My dad is not here, and so is your mum. They went bare hands no matter how hard they fought for riches. I will retaliate though, but not tonight. I will let them feel like they won. Then I will take a break and when they are relaxed, I will hit back so hard that they will regret targeting my family. I managed to move everything I needed to the new environment where I will take my loyal men. It's the same place that Alessio is holding my birthday party. He doesn't know about what is happening tonight and neither is Rico nor any of my men. Dad warned me to keep this information to myself, not even Fabio should know. Only th
