"What are you doing here?" The familiar voice of Zacharias ask from behind. He doesn't sound friendly at all which made me grip the armrest of the wheelchair. I look at the direction that Eredia take and I couldn't help to frown. The last thing I wanted to happen right now is meeting Zacharias Eron. First of all, I don't want him to ask me again regarding Celeste Cortezi as if he knew that I have something to do with her. Secondly, I don't like how I feel towards this guy. Although I know his dangerous because of his desperation to find Celeste, I couldn't get mad at him. There is something in him that feels familiar but at the same time strange and I don't have time for it, obviously. And lastly, he is the one who assigned to investigate the Castania's mansion together with Vincer. For sure, it was him who found the gun. I'm worried that he might find something in my room that will lead to suspicion. "I came here to relax," I replied not looking at him. I heard him sigh and my
My past will never stop haunting me. The nights when I don't see that dream is such a big blessing for me. It's like a deep sigh of relief, a feeling of desperation and victory that I was able to survive that night not recalling about that tragic death. But then, since I marry Sain Czar my past is not only present at night. It's clear in the daylight and it's getting clearer even more at midnight. Just like now... I mask the confusion in my eyes with the look of disbelief. Even I am taken aback with this redundant question, I must get a hold of myself and control my emotion instead of letting it control me. I didn't come here to ruined my plan. I will not let him put a hole to my disguise either. "What does it mean?" I pause and tilt my head. "What made you think I know that woman? In what way I am supposed to know her?" I return the question to him. I don't know what made him ask that to me. I also don't know what is his motive. I don't believe the emotion plastered on his eyes r
"I trust you" I could feel the fast palpitation of my heart as I look at Sain Czar directly in his eyes. His handsome face doesn't have so much expression but his eyes is the opposite. They are like two deep pools. There are so many emotion in it that I couldn't name. He was like uncertain if he should let his guards down and let me saw the vulnerable side of him. His hand on my waist tighten. I look at him intently doesn't want to look away. Sain Czar is a man who doesn't need to say so much things for me to understand that there is something wrong happening. Every time I saw a different side of him, that's the time when he is not okay. That's the time when he is ready to open himself for me. "Do not imprisoned your thoughts, Sain. Let me be your safe" I reach his face and smile gently. "No matter what is the reason why I become your wife, still I am your wife. I am with you" I know how does it feels like to imprisoned your thoughts. You will drowned with it and the worst feeling
"Ferro family is part of the Ilde Famiglia because they are one of the member of Cosa Vescaria. It was a small organization that decided to joined Ilde Famiglia. At first everything was doing good, Ferro is a family of assassins. They are a known assassins in the Ilde Famiglia, they were skillful, they were merciless. They never failed a mission even just once that's why Ildefonso trusted them so much but then they betrayed Ildefonso" My eyes widened with what he said. Is that even possible? I mean, I never heard that kind of story in the Sintti Organization. I am not oblivious about the identity of the Cosa Vescaria. I am also aware that it was founded by three families. I think, Ferro was one of the founder of it. But then why did they betrayed Ildefonso? They joined Ilde Famiglia and then betrayed it afterwards. What's the purpose of that? "Why? Was the trust is not enough?" I question. One of the common reason why some members of an organization ends up betraying their own or
"And there is no Costello woman, Signora. It's impossible that there is a Costello woman" Pierro said firmly, sound so sure with the knowledge he knew. My lips form into a thin line as I tighten my grip on the glass of orange juice. No one outside our walls is aware that Costello woman exist. The people aware about that fact are those on the higher position, that includes the Serino, the Stefano, the Adhicer, the Rimar, the Romano, and the council. If Cassinno didn't saw me that day for sure he will never conclude that the owner of the gun is a woman. A woman from Costello. I need to be extra careful from now on. There is a hint of confusion and suspicion in the tone of Pierro's voice. I am not sure if that if for me or not?"Signora?" Nicolai called me. I look at him and slightly frown seeing his intent gaze. "Are you alright?" He inquire. He sound a bit with worried because of my sudden silent. I feel how Pierro gaze at me carefully as if he is intricately observing my emotion
The wind is blowing my hair as I walk behind Pierro who's leading the way. I scanned my eyes around secretly giving glances to those CCTV camera installed in the street. Every steps is monitored in this place, it is indeed difficult to just roamed around because for sure there are a lot of people watching your every move behind those cameras. Good things Pierro is with me because some men in black is already doing their routine inspection and they couldn't help to glance on us. They even greeted me and Pierro which I consider a good thing. There will be no suspicion since I am with Pierro. They know Pierro's place in the hierarchy of Ilde Famiglia. He is the great consigliere of the future Capo which is the ruthless and merciless Sain Czar Ildefonso Everyone in this place are aware how much Sain trusted Pierro. Although I am Sain's wife, still, I couldn't guarantee that they trust me as well knowing that Ilde Famiglia doesn't fully recognize me as the future Signora of their organiza
'Ferro traded Czar's mother to the enemy in order to prove his loyalty. They killed her brutally in front of the five years old Sain Czar' 'He was saved by his mother. He was found unconscious under the bed just a few steps away from his mother's dead body. When he woke up in the hospital, he was no longer speaking. It took him almost four years before he finally speak again. And everything changes, he was no longer that innocent child' "This is the old mansion of Ildefonso Family, Signora" I felt a pang of pain looking at the old yet beautiful mansion in front of me. The interior design screams with so much wealth that proves Ildefonso's stand in the society. Everything doesn't look ordinary, it was extraordinary. Costello are wealthy but this mansion was more than of what I saw before. It is extravagant, no doubt that it was someone who is in the top of hierarchy own this mansion. Although it looks old, it is still well maintained. There are men in black guarding the gate. I als
"Signora!" Pierro panicked when the broken pieces of glasses clatter on the floor but I remain on my spot, feet feels frozen on the floor. My hands are trembling and I could feel the lump inside my throat giving me hard time to breath and speak even just a single word. "Fuck! You're bleeding, Signora" I felt Pierro held my arm and push me gently away from the pieces of broken glasses. I was like pulled back from my reverie and finally recognize his presence. I lifted my gaze as my eyes turn cold and emotionless. "Shit. You're bleeding" he hissed. Worries is evident in his voice but I am not sure if that is for me or maybe that is for himself because for sure once Sain saw my bleeding legs cause my the fragments of broken glasses, he will turn berserk and might end up ripping Pierro's neck. I swallow hard trying to find my voice. I gaze down and saw a droplets of blood on the floor. I automatically smell the scent of it that feels like an old iron filled with rust. My lips for
