last update Last Updated: 2023-06-19 11:21:01

PIETRO

My eyebrows knotted together as I try to lift even a single finger. My whole body feels so heavy, like someone placed a heavy cement over me.

Memories flooded over me as I tried to remember the last thing that happened. How long has I been unconscious?

A small guttural sound escaped my throat as I fought control over my body. I had to inform anyone that I am awake. I need to tell someone that I am still alive.

I need to talk to Pericles. I need to know what happened while I was gone. I need to know how long I was gone.

Worries flooded me instantly, but I couldn’t even move my body. I felt trapped inside myself.

“P-Pietro?” I heard a small feminine voice spoke above me.

I stilled, knowing that voice too well.

‘Lucrezia?’ I could only mutter her names inside my head. My senses are all over the place. All I could feel is the throbbing ache in my head.

What did the guy injected in my body?

I felt like I received a thousand punches in a single night. Even that is an understatem

    PIETROPericles’s eyes were so big like he had found the most important piece of the puzzle. He just found a link to those attackers making us know that those two attacks were connected with each other. Now that we are sure that we only have one enemy, we have one less thing to worry about. Right now, all that is left for us to do was to find out who this enemy us, by forcing him to reveal himself t us. I grazed my teeth with my tongue as I pondered about the connection that the attackers has.I don’t know how to make sense with it all. I find that the similarity between them two, to be so strange and broad. It makes the whole even more harder too understand. The more I get this clues, the more clueless that I get. I feel like I’m getting farther and farther away from knowing who my real enemy was. The links between my attackers are simple… they are psychopaths. That is the only thing I could describe them. The way they attack is

    LUCREZIAI sighed as soon as the two best friends joined forces to force me to leave the room. I just told Pietro to rest and don’t stress, but that stubborn man wouldn’t listen to me. I sighed once again upon the realization. Letizia used to be the person on my spot, and I used to be the person who was being stubborn. Now, Pietro’s the one being stubborn, and I’m the one who doesn’t know what to do about it. I finally found my match.Instead of wondering what they were talking about and stressing myself over something that I don’t have any control of, I decided to buy a meal instead, knowing that Pietro would be hungry.I contemplated whether I should cook a quick meal for him instead since he really liked my cooking the last time I cooked for him. However, I know to myself that if it’s me cooking, it will never be a quick meal. Instead, I ordered meal instead at a famous restaurant for takeout. Pietro will be eating his first food in three days so i

    PIETROMy heart tightened when I saw Lucrezia trying to hide her tears away from me. All I wanted to do was to comfort her and make her stop crying, but I know too well that no words would comfort her. So, I just did the only thing I could instead. I hugged her. I hugged her and just like that, the weight, the things I was trying to ignore, all came upon me instantly.On the outside, I always acted strong for Lucrezia. I always acted like I have everything figured out in front of Pericles. I am Pericles and Lucrezia’s anchor. Pericles looks up to me and Lucrezia holds on to me. They gather their strength and hope from me so I couldn’t show them that I’m weak. I can’t tell them that I’m afraid, that I wanted to give up. No one knows how I’m hurting in the inside, how I’m feeling the pressure because of the weight of responsibilities that I have. I had to stay strong for all that depends on me. That’s why I understood what Lucrezia is feeling righ

    EROSPietro managed to make it out alive once again. Despite of my careful plans and the long preparation that I had, Pietro still managed to make it out alive once again. I was looking forward for that party. I received a tip that he was invited to that party and knew it right then that it was my chance of finally enacting my plans to kill him. It was a great opportunity for me. The best place to kill a person where no one would highly suspect as murder. The place was well guarded with security and the media. It would be hard to hide things from the staffs of the party. It’s an easy place to rule someone’s death as suicide. All that has to happen is to drop Pietro’s body off that building so people would think that he killed himself. It doesn’t matter if his death is highly unlikely. It doesn’t matter if everyone would found no reason for his suicide. Murder in that event would be more impossible than someone jumping off the building themselve

    EROS I noticed how the room went quiet as soon as I entered, making me feel how unwelcome I am in here right now. Instead of turning back and leaving the room, I walked in and made myself welcome. I’m not going to leave this place not until I see how Pietro is doing. I looked around the room to find a place to seat. As expected the room is big. It looks more like a hotel room not a hospital room. It’s really different when a rich man gets hospitalized. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed how Lucrezia gave his father a meaningful look. She thought I did not saw her, I have a very observant eye. “How are you? What do you feel?” I walked towards Pietro’s bed and sat on the empty wooden chair beside his bed. Lucrezia and her family were all sitting in the couch, leaving all the seats available occupied aside from this seat.“I’m fine. There’s just small pains around the body but I will be out of the hospital soon,” Pietro answered, moving his sh

    PIETROI spent two weeks on the hospital before the doctor finally gave me the go signal and told me that my body has finally recovered from all the harmful effects of what was injected on me. Since my body has already been cleared, the doctor said that there is nothing else for us to worry about since my body has already turned back to normal.Hearing this, I couldn’t help it but feel downhearted. My two weeks in the hospital were the two weeks happiest of my life. Not only because I was able to eat delicious meals because Lucrezia couldn’t cook for me. I’m glad though, that she was too busy to cook meals for me in the hospital. I don’t think I would recover this quickly if she remains to be my cook while I recover in the hospital. Being able to finally eat delicious food really made a great effect on my health. Everything felt like it happened so fast and I don’t want this to end yet. In the hospital, I was able to live as myself. There was no

    LUCREZIAIt was with a heavy heart when I left the hospital, and it was selfish of me to feel that way. I should be happy that Pietro has already recovered and he suffered no severe effects from what had happened, but why do I feel a sense of loss in me that I couldn't shake away?I wish him a speedy recovery, but why did leaving the hospital feel like leaving something important behind?Pietro did not have to tell me anything, but I'm sure he also felt the same way. I noticed how he was strangely quiet in the last days we were in the hospital and how absent-minded he has been. He must have been thinking about this part of the future, but he did not say anything, just like me. Our unspoken feelings slowly corrupted us and parted us away.The corners of my lips lifted slightly when I saw that flowers had bloomed in our garden. I did not know that these plants could bloom into flowers. We were gone for two weeks, so I couldn't witness the flowers bloom. The mansion was left to our hous

    LUCREZIA Letizia broke eye contact and hid her face, afraid that our father would see right through her. It was too late. I already did. I already saw the conflict in her eyes, the secret she was trying to hide.I swallowed the lump that formed inside my throat when I saw how she was crumpling in front of our father and how she was hardly trying to pull herself together. That kind of reaction from her shows how much she doesn't want to take over the family business. All this time, she wanted nothing to do with the business. She never wanted to become a part of the mafia, more so to handle it.Why didn't she tell me about it? "I'm not ready. I'm not yet ready." Letizia spoke in an uneven voice. Liar!It wasn't because you weren't ready, but because you didn't want to make your hands dirty!Letizia has always been born with a kind soul. She is the white sheep of the family. She was the kindest, the sweetest. When our father was training us in the business, she always only acted t

    “Shit! Shit! Shit! You imbeciles! I’m paying you money and you can’t even kill one damn man!” Eros was agitated and he couldn’t stop yelling while staring at his computer. He had cameras all over his mansion so he could see everything that was happening. Eros had never seen Pietro fought anyone before. He didn’t expect him to be this good. He is like James Bond, taking down so many people at a time. Eros is not fully aware of Pietro’s past. He has no idea about the training that he got as a little child. Pietro was trained to be like a killer machine. His training could be likened to that of Black Widow, if only that character was real. Eros kept sending and sending all his people, but Pietro killed all the men trying to stop him from reaching his wife until Eros had no one else to send and stop Pietro anymore. Lucrezia had no access to the computer, but she witnessed how Eros was scared out of his wits as he watched what Pietro is doing to his men. Lucrezia could also fully hear

    Lucrezia’s stomach turned. Even though they are criminals and big time mafias, they still have their own principles and things that they couldn’t bring themselves to do.Eros is just pure evil, a monster.He is a disgrace to the mafias. What kind of man could say those words with a straight face.“What does these things have to do with my father? What does it have to do with Pietro? Why do you have to kill him?” Lucrezia asks.“You see, your father and I share the same goal. We want to be the best in the Commission and Pietro is an obstacle stopping us from reaching that goal.Lucrezia felt more guilty upon hearing this. She thought Pietro was the one who was greedy. She thought he was the one trying to become the next capo di tutti capi.“If that is so, then why spare me? Why spare my father? I’m Pietro’s wife. Why not kill me with him?”“Because your father and I had a deal.” Eros answers taking Lucrezia by surprise.“A deal?” Lucrezia mutters breathlessly feeling like she just disco

    “Vaffanculo! Vaffanculo!” Lucrezia curses repeatedly inside her car as she drove along with other Italian curses that she grew up hearing from their Italian helpers at home. Lucrezia pressed on the gas pedal, speeding at the almost empty highway at dawn to reach her husband at home who has no idea that his life is in danger. She shouldn’t ave gone to her home. She shouldn’t have told her father anything. She shouldn’t have stuck her nose where it doesn’t belong in the first place. She shouldn’t have opened the door to Pietro’s office and indulged herself in the secrets that he was hiding. No wonder why Pietro is keeping things from her. Just hours after she found out his secret and she had already placed Pietro’s life in danger. Lucrezia had no idea that her father is working with Eros Cassiano to get rid of Pietro. She should have known that in the mafia, everybody has their own dark secrets and hidden agendas to hide. The fact that Pietro has one, shouldn’t have surprised her an

    Raimondo was silent for a long time as he listened to his daughter as she confides into him about Pietro’s secret. Raimondo earnestly listened without questioning her daughter’s words or interrupting her. Raimondo just stared into her daughter’s eyes as she went on with her story as if he was listening to her because he was worried about her. Lucrezia is supposed to tell her father about what Pietro’s secrets that she had just found about, the secrets that she discovered in Pietro’s office, but she changed her mind last minute because she thought it was a very important secret and it could implicate Pietro’s life, so she couldn’t rashly share those things to her father. Additionally, Lucrezia knows that her father would react negatively if he founds out bout that. Even she reacted so negatively when she finds out that her husband is planning something against the Commission. Unless she had ensured everything, unless she had everything straight with Pietro, nobody can find out abou

    PIETRO woke up because of his nightmare. For the first time, ever since he slept in the same bed as his wife, he woke up with the same dream, the same nightmare again.Ever since Pietro was a child, there wasn’t a night when he had not woken up haunted by nightmares. He always dreamed of the same thing, the friend that he killed. Every night, he would jolt up awake and the last thing he could remember was the picture of him pulling the trigger and killing his friend. His dream is very vivid like it all happened again. It was always exactly how he remembered it happen. Saying that Pietro was traumatized would be an understatement. Pietro was broken by his past, and only Lucrezia was able to piece him together. Through the love and kindness that she showed him, Pietro was able to forgive himself and see his value. Pietro calmly sits up, his breathing was rash and heavy like he had just ran a marathon. When his racing heart had finally slowed down, he opens the light beside him caus

    It’s already evening when I arrived home which means Pietro must be waiting for me at home. I wasn’t planning to stay outside until evening, but I had to travel between two different cities because Agrippa’s house and the place where I am going to get the key are located at two opposite cities. I wore a huge smile on my face as if I had the best day of my life as soon as I entered home. Just as I am expecting, Pietro is waiting for me at the living room just like how I always wait at the living room for him to welcome him home. Pietro’s eyes dropped on the shopping bags I’m carrying as soon as I entered the door. Seeing this, he did not dare ask where I went. He just assumed that I went for a shopping spree. On the way home, I stopped at a mall and shopped random things so that Pietro would think I spent the whole day at the mall. “You had a great day?” Pietro asked me as he walked towards me.I grinned at him. “I bought everything that I wanted.”“Good, you own all my money. You

    Agrippa sighed at the other side of the door, the loudest that I have ever heard her sigh. She knew that there is no way I’d leave this place. Even though my foot is hurting, jammed and pressed at the foot of their door, I wasn’t willing to remove my foot and let her go.No, I won’t leave this place, not until I find out everything that is happening, and not until I have given all the help that I could give her. No one deserves to be abused like that. No woman or no wife should live in the same house with her husband abusing her. My face softened and my heart ached inside my heart when Agrippa finally opened the door, revealing her inside. Agrippa refused to look at me on the eye. Her head is lowered in shame even though she had nothing to be ashamed about. I swallowed hard, not saying anything. You wouldn’t know what to say once you saw a hurt person in front of you. I’m afraid that if I say something it will only make Agrippa close herself from me even more. Asking her if she’s

Our life routine is back, and things got pretty boring for me once again as a wife who is always left at home without anything to take care of.If only Pietro gave me kids to take care of, then I wouldn’t have to feel so bored and I would stay all day at home without any complaints.I have sent Agrippa a message that I would visit her today. Although I haven’t received any reply from the heads up message I sent her, I decided to still just go. At least I have given her a heads up. Wheteher she replies or not it’s actually out of my control.With the help of Pietro’s driver and bodyguard that he had hired specially for me.

Besides, I rarely go to their house to visit and I don’t give gifts to Agrippa’s kids often.

    LUCREZIAI stared at the ceiling as I lay on the bed with my eyes wide open as Pietro softly snores beside me. While Pietro is having the best sleep of his life, I couldn’t sleep because of I couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation we had in the car.For some reasons, Pietro’s words doesn’t sit well with me. I really don’t believe that Orenzio is the man behind all of this. I don’t think it’s possible that Orenzio knew about his father’s disease beforehand and that he was the one who told Serrano about it.I couldn’t forget the surprised look on Orenzio’s face and the anger that he felt as Serano stood on the stage making accusations against his father and telling everyone that he was hiding his dementia.Even if that was all just an act, I don’t believe that Orenzio could pull all that off so perfectly.
