These two are so cute together. I can't handle them! I think Luciano's the most green-flag male lead that I've written, which is ironic since he's technically the most sinful. What do you guys think?
Thalia I moaned into his mouth as our tongues touched each other. Our kiss escalated quickly as he pushed my back onto the wall. "Jump," he said. I quickly followed his instructions. I jumped into his arms and he carried me to his table, placing me down as we continued kissing. I honestly don't know how we even got here. I only planned on hugging him out of joy, but then we suddenly started kissing. How did we even get here anyway? Let’s rewind back a couple of minutes. I hugged him out of gratefulness. I thought I was going to sacrifice myself and go to Sir Charles' territory to resolve this situation, but Luciano stayed with me throughout the week, untiringly looking for evidence to bring him down. "We did it," I said. He was surprised for a second, but he eventually returned the hug. I felt so warm in his arms, so I snuggled deeper into his chest, breathing in his scent. He let out a chuckle. "Did you just sniff me?" I glared at him and playfully pinched his bicep. "Shut
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains sensitive topics such as sex trafficking. Read at your own discretion. Thalia "Can you believe this? We're going on a mission together," Daisy giddily said as she sat next to me in the car. "Why are you so excited for this? We're visiting the enemies territory to free the underage sex workers that they've been exploiting for years," I deadpanned. "Well, when you put it like that—it sounds quite depressing, but still! At least we're doing it together," she said. "You better be thanking me," Renee butted in, going inside the car too. I smiled at her as she entered. "Hey, what's up?" I greeted. She smiled back and nodded her head. "Doing pretty good. I'm quite excited for this mission actually." Daisy crossed her arms beside me and looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "So, you've found a new best friend, huh?" I chuckled and shook my head. "Oh, shut up. We're not in 6th grade anymore. All of us are good friends here." "You're right," Dai
Thalia Red. Everything turned red.One minute, I was running out of the house, trying to escape; and the next minute the sound of the gun resounded, followed by spillage of blood.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath as I looked at the scene in front of me. “Renee!” Luciano screamed out before taking out his gun, pointing it towards the person who had shot Renee and killing him instantly. Daisy and I ran to where Renee was. Her blood had pooled down on the ground, so I covered the wound with my hand. “Give me a cloth or binder of some type,” I told Daisy.However, Renee shook her head, making me look at her with frantic eyes. “Let’s get out of here first,” she said in a weak voice. “We don’t want any other tragedies happening tonight. It’s best if we seek safety for now.” Luciano cursed under his breath and carried Renee in his arms. "Let's leave," he said in such a cold voice that it sent shivers down my spine. I also stood up from the ground, still shaken up from the situatio
Thalia Black. Now, everything was black. Today was the day of Renee's funeral, and I'd never seen the Casa Nostra this quiet and solemn before. Although I see people wearing black clothes every day, this situation feels different. We weren't wearing black because we liked dark colors. We weren't wearing black because it screams more "dangerous." We weren't wearing black because we wanted to be hidden in the night. We were wearing black because someone died—and that someone just had to be Renee. It wasn't the usual funeral that people go to. There wasn't any ceremony. There weren't any flowers. Nobody even spoke about their memories with her. The funeral just consisted of burying Renee's body under the ground. After that, everyone went on their own usual way. I pursed my lips together as I watched them walk away—not a single trace of sadness on their faces. I guess that's what being in the Mafia is like—everyone is bound to be emotionless. After experiencing countless deat
Thalia It has almost been a week since Renee's death, and things are started to go back to normal—at least for other people. The people in the Cosa Nostra moved on with their life—like Renee never even passed away. Even Don Emiliano, the direct father of Renee, went back to work as usual on the day of Renee's funeral. From an outsider's perspective, it may also look like Luciano isn't the least fazed about Renee's death, but I knew better. He has been negligent of his health, and he also has been shutting off most people—especially me. I have tried multiple times to talk to him and make him open up to me like before, but it seems like he doesn't want to confront me at all. I knocked on his door with his favorite cup of coffee in hand. "Come in," I heard his gruff voice. I slowly opened the door and peeked my head inside. He was wearing his glasses while typing something on his laptop. "I've made you some coffee," I softly said. He didn't even glance at me and just patted
Thalia Shit. "Do I tell him? Do I tell him?" I whispered under my breath as I paced back and forth in my room. I went back to the clinic a while ago to sneak out another pregnancy test. I was in denial as soon as I saw that the first one I took was positive. So, I took another one. And another one. And another one. And all of them yielded a positive result. I'm pregnant. And with Luciano's child at that! Of course, I felt kind of happy deep inside my heart, knowing that I'm currently carrying the child of the man I'd come to love. However, fear and anxiousness overtook those emotions. I'm just 18 years old, for fuck's sake! And I just became a guard not even two months ago. How the fuck are the people around me going to react once they find out? And how the fuck will I be able to tell this to Luciano when we haven't been on good terms for the last couple of weeks? I bit my lips and thought long and hard about the pros and cons of telling Luciano that I was pregnant.
ThaliaI went back to my room, my plan of telling Luciano about our child completely thrown out of the window.Before I even knew it, a tear fell out from my eyes. “Fuck,” I muttered under my breath with a small smile, roughly wiping my eyes.Just when I realized my feelings for him.Just when I was ready to confess.Just as I found out that I’m fucking pregnant—this happens.I locked my room and leaned back on the door. I slid down the door, tears still streaming from my eyes.I sobbed uncontrollably as I thought about everything that happened for the past two weeks. I know that I have a fault in Renee’s death, but I hope he knows that I’m also devastated by it—that I’m also struggling with this all alone. I thought he would have felt some type of affection towards me considering we’ve had sex before and he’s kissed me plenty of times. However, maybe all of those were just for his physical satisfaction.I’m just his guard—nothing more, nothing less.I could die right now for all he c
Luciano"Fuck," I muttered under my breath as I looked for Thalia around the house. "Have you seen Thalia?" I askedd th other guards. They all shook their heads, making me frown. I went to the training system and barged into their headquarters. I ignored the other guards that greeted me along the way and went straight to Daisy's seat. She frowned when she saw me coming her way. "Good afternoon, Don," she greeted. 'What brings you here to our office this day?""Are you with Thalia?" I asked. Reese noticed our conversation and listened in. "No," she shook her head. "Isn't she in your office, Don?"I massaged my temples and shook my head. "Are you sure that she isn't at your place?" I asked. She shook her head once more. "No," she said. "The last time we spoke was last night. I haven't seen her at all today.""Shit," I cursed once more."Why?" she asked. "She's gone," I said. "What?" Daisy and Reese exclaimed at the same time. "Gone?" Reese asked. "What do you mean by that, Do
The last special chapter will be about our lovely main characters! Luciano brings home a new addition to the family, and let's just say he kind of regrets it. *** "Shh," Luciano exclaims as the creature beneath his feet continues whimpering. He sighs in frustration and massages the bridge of his nose. It hasn't even been an hour since the creature came home, and he already regrets it. Luciano has never been fond of dogs. Let's just say he's never really been fond of animals ever since he was young. After being attacked by a pack of squirrels when he was innocently playing in the grass when he was younger, he had never been the same. It also fueled his indifference (and slight fear) of these non-human creatures. However, after hearing his precious daughter continuously say that all she wants is a dog for her sixth birthday, he had no choice but to cave in. I mean, who could really blame him? With her adorable smile and puppy eyes, who would be able to say no? The two of t
Now, this chapter will be focused on how Reese and Daisy fell in love with each other. It will be set around the time when Thalia hasn't been found by Luciano yet. *** Reese sighs as he hears someone enter the room. He doesn't even need to turn around to guess who it is. The small yet sharp footsteps coming from the door are enough to tell him that it is Daisy who graced him with her presence. He turns the swivel chair around, facing the woman. He bites his lip as he looks at her frantic figure. No matter how much he tries to deny it, he really can't—this woman is beautiful. "You still don't know where she is?" she asks. And utterly annoying. She just knows how to push his buttons. He sighs and closes his eyes, defeatedly shaking his head. "How many times do I have to tell you? I haven't found a lead yet! I've searched through all the CCTVs around the area, but I still don't know where she went. You know how my sister is—she's very tenacious." Daisy clicks her tongue and
Hi again! Welcome to the special chapters! These are just a collection of fun stories from our beloved characters. I hope you like them! All of the special chapters will be written in the third person's point of view, so I won't be repeating that all throughout the chapters. Cheers! ****** "Umm, so what do we do now?" Emiliano asked as he looked at the tiny and adorable human looking up at him with wide eyes. Warren chuckled nervously as he patted his back's mate. The two of them decided to take Lucille on their trip to Amsterdam, and now, they were kind of regretting their decision. Not because they don't want to be with their granddaughter (they've actually been pestering their respective children to let their daughter go with them on a trip), but because they didn't know what to do with a literal child. It has been more than twenty years since they've interacted with children, and frankly, they've never really been good with it. As they aged throughout the years, the two of t
Luciano "Do you like your new room?" I nervously asked as I showed Lucille the interior of her new room. I knew that I'd done my very best to place the items she loved most in this room, but it still made me nervous. That feeling quickly melted away, though, when she looked around with wide eyes. "Duckies!" she exclaimed as she observed the painted ducks on her wall. "And so many toys! Did you do this, daddy?" I smiled and kneeled down to her level. "Do you like it, my princess?" She enthusiastically nodded her head. "I love it! I can play in here all day!" I chuckled and ruffled her hair in amusement. "Tomorrow, my princess. It's already late. You have to go to sleep now." She pouted and shook her head. "But I want to play," she insisted. However, not even a second later, she already started to yawn. "Tomorrow, okay? I'll play with you all day long!" "Really?" she asked with tired eyes. I nodded my head. "I promise. But for now, you need to take a rest, my princess. Yo
Thalia“Luciano,” I moaned into his mouth, placing my hands on his chest to gently push him away. “We haven’t even placed any sheets on the bed yet.”He ignored my comment and continued placing open-mouth kisses on my neck.I don’t know what happened and how the events escalated, but a few moments ago, we were watching Twilight in the home theater when Edward’s and Bella’s kissing scene played on the screen. I couldn’t deny that I was feeling turned on by the sight of two attractive people kissing, but I had already watched that particular scene plenty of times, so it wasn’t such a big deal. Luciano, however, seemed to have taken quite a liking to the scene despite declaring hatred for the movie itself. So, before I even knew it, we were already imitating the scene on the TV and making our way to the master bedroom. I felt the rough mattress against my skin and felt that it would be such a waste to ruin a completely new mattress, so I harshly pushed him away.“What’s wrong?” he aske
Two months laterThalia“Are we finally getting new neighbors?” I asked, looking outside the window while sipping my morning tea. I was having a peaceful breakfast when I heard some type of commotion just right outside. I peeked out at the window and saw moving trucks transporting furniture to the newly-built house just right across the street.It had already been two months ever since Luciano had left the mafia, and we were now currently living with Grandpa Ferri at Amari Coast.The two of us talked a lot about what we wanted to do—whether we wanted to stay here or move to another location. I was already too attached to this place, and I’m glad Luciano felt the same way. Lucille, too, voiced out that this is her favorite place in the world. So ultimately, we decided we wanted to stay here.Lucille was currently out on a trip with her grandfathers. Yes—plural. My dad and Luciano’s dad had been laying low from the Mafia and now decided to travel the world together. Since Reese is alrea
This chapter is dedicated to Daisy and Reese! It also shows how Don Emiliano changed his mind! Reese She slapped my shoulder and gently pushed me away, causing our lips to separate from each other. I leaned in to kiss her once again, but she placed her hand on my chest and halted my movement. She gave me a nonchalant look before placing a quick kiss on my lips. "There," she said. "That's the last one. Now, we have to go back to work." I raked my hands through my hair and let out a deep sigh. "I don't know what to do anymore, Daisy," I said. "We don't even have a clue of where Thalia is!" She held onto my shoulders. "And that's why we shouldn't lose hope. I don't want to lose another important person in my life. We have to find Thalia and Lucille at all costs." I nodded my head. "We should. I just don't know where we're going to start." Suddenly, Daisy's preppy ringtone sounded in the room, causing the two of us to look at her phone. She was the first one to look at the
Luciano "What?" I snapped, not believing a word he said. My father sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Count this as my final gift to you. I'm giving you a choice—the mafia or your family?" "This is another one of your ultimatums, huh?" I asked. "It's the final one," he smiled bitterly. "W—Why are you doing any of this? What made you change your mind?" He sighed. "Honestly, I never really wanted this life too." My eyebrows raised in inquiry. He never wanted this life? He's the very last person on Earth I would imagine not enjoying the mafia scene. "It is what my father taught me—the mafia always comes first. Everything else is only in second place. I instilled that quote in my mind, and even now, I still believe in that mindset." "So, you want this life after all?" I asked. "I didn't want it at first," he said. "But I've become used to it. There are a lot of things and people I've sacrificed because of that belief, and frankly, I'm way too deep into this li
Thalia"No!" I exclaimed, going back to remove the hollow blocks that separated Luciano and I. However, I halted my steps when I felt Lucille stirring in my arms. I looked back and forth from the wall to my daughter and realized why Luciano decided to do what he has done.It's for the two of us to survive...Even if that means he doesn't get to.So, with a heavy heart and tears streaming down my face, I squeezed through the narrow opening to finally escape from this place. The cold air hit me as soon as I escaped, yet I still feel like I can't breathe properly. I also feel like there isn't any strength left in my body, and there isn't anything I want to do other than go back to where Luciano is and stay with him until the end. But I have to think about our daughter and about how much life she still has to live. With that thought in mind, I ran away from the building, determined not to look back. My vision was occluded with tears, and due to that, I couldn't clearly see what was
