"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
There is a hint of smile plastered on my lips seeing everything in front of me. I don't need to ask Sain because it was obvious how he spent time to put effort for tonight's dinner. It's a romantic dinner date on the beach, the salty wind is cold and freezing which complement those small lights around me. Everything feels surreal and I wanted to assume a lot of things which I am not supposed to feel. I took a deep breath and take a slowly step towards the table. I am walking with my bare feet on the smooth sand while I am holding my heels using my right hand. I scan my eyes around savoring the moment tonight, I am ready whatever happen. For the first time, I wanted to give in to this emotion inside my heart that I've been setting aside because I know it won't bring any good to me. I lick my lower lip when the wind blows, I shiver a little as the cold breeze touches my bare skin. My dress doesn't suit to this kind of weather, I was not inform that Sain is planning a beach dinner date
Sain open the door beside him and the smell of gun powder that mixed on the air is the one greeted us aside from the chaotic sound of screaming and gunshots. The empty silent road suddenly become a battle field which I didn't expect since I was so happy a while ago because of the dinner date. My heart is beating fast while Sain is holding my hands tightly as if he's saying that he will not let go of me no matter what happen. I didn't see any panic in his eyes, he looks calmer than I expected. But I could see the darkness lurking on the corner of his eyes and the menacing aura clings on him. There is one thing I am sure about right now. The man who's holding my hand right now is not the gentle, caring, and considerate husband that I knew. He is the ruthless and merciless Sain Czar that I need to kill. He pulled me, urging that I should follow him. But then someone scream loudly and despite the explosion and gunshots, I heard what that man shout clearly. "It's the Costello! The Co
Everything slowdown when I felt an excruciating pain on my back while meeting Enzo's eyes. His gun is pointing to someone behind me. I am expecting to fall down on my knees but I immediately felt Sain's strong arms wrap around my waist supporting my weight. My throat went dry and I suddenly having hard time to breath and utter a word. I was about to smile at Enzo to assure him that I am fine but then the gun his holding slip into his hand and slowly he fell down on the cemented ground. My eyes widened in horror when I saw Sixto holding a gun as well standing behind Enzo. My gaze immediately turn to Enzo on the ground and my heart clench in so much pain seeing the blood on the cemented ground. "N-No..." My voice crack and tears start streaming down to my face as if on cue I remember our conversation when he pledge his loyalty to me once again. 'Did you confirm what happen?' 'I'm not sure if Dad is telling me the truth' 'What made you doubt the Capo? You know how much he cares fo
Wearing a black long dress I place the white rose carefully on the back door of Castania's mansion the specific place where Enzo always wait for me whenever I sneak out. I am grieving right now because of his death. I lost a friend, someone who never left me since I become a Costello. I finally recover now, although I am not strong enough to do strenuous activities Sain give me permission to stay here in the Castania's mansion. I can't face him right now. I can't seem to pretend that everything is alright after what his brother did to Enzo. Just like what Apollo said, I saw it. I saw how Sixto shot Enzo while he is trying to save me. His eyes was merciless, there is no hint of emotion on his face when he pulled the trigger. Even when Enzo fell into the cemented ground gasping for air, Sixto remain cold. He was not bothered at all and I hate him because of that. What he did mirrors what his father did. Cesar has the same expression when he killed Cladia in front of me. Sixto was the
"Will you make it within five days?" He ask wanting to make sure that I can do it. I was given six months for this mission and now I am proposing that I could do it in just a span of five days. For sure he is a bit doubting but at the same time he is not oblivious about the things that I can do. "You never question my capabilities, Dad. You know what can I do more than anyone in the organization" I reply. For how many months staying in the Ildefonso's Residence, I learn a lot of things. I observe silently and figure out things casually. I get along with Nicolai and I manage to gain his trust slowly. When he told me about Sain's past that's the moment I confirm that he already trust me. I did the same thing to Pierro. Because of his guilt towards me he reach me out and I didn't put too much effort in it. I was right when I play along with him and acted as if I was offended. It was indeed right that I pretend as if I am some kind of pitiful woman that's why he started to change his
I look at Nicolai with my serious face. He mirrors my expression and I couldn't read what's inside his head right now. He was like interrogating me with those suspicious stare of him. I wasn't aware that he saw that, good thing he didn't heard anything because if he does I am doomed. But the question is, did he really not hear anything or maybe he's just trying to corner me? I haven't started yet but things started to get difficult for me now. The Castania Couple must leave the country as soon as possible. Nicolai is a smart guy, even if he is friendly to me and we already get along well, one wrong move everything will be back to square one. Worst scenario might happen. "He's proposing a deal" I reply in a calm voice doesn't want him to saw that I am a bit taken aback with this sudden confrontation. The car stop and look at me while frowning as if he couldn't believe what I said but at the same time curious what kind of deal Pollux Costello propose. I mentally smirk. Of course
We arrive at the Ildefonso's Residence just on time. I presume that Sain is still not around because if he does, then it is not Nicolai who pick me to the Castania's mansion. Although it is difficult to read what's on his mind, somehow in some situation I already know what he is planning to do. Sain is difficult to predict but when the situation always happen and he knows that he has the upper hand, he will surely use the same method. He knows very well that he has the upper hand in our relationship. He is the husband that I need to follow because I agree to be the wife who will comply with everything that pleased him. The contract is deceitful and despite knowing that everything in favors to him, I just let it slide because killing him will only happen if I become his wife. My father was right ever since at the beginning even up until now that I messed up everything. If I just listen to him and didn't let those unnecessary emotion bother me then maybe I am not in this kind of situ
