(THE PAST)
PIETRO GIACOMETTI Something was wrong today. There were a lot of things I could be mistaken about but there was not a thing about Caily that I could be mistaken about. She had stepped out at exactly the time she was supposed to, she had given me those same bright smiles, she had grabbed my arm excitedly, a huge grin on her face but something wasn’t right about those smiles and about the way she grabbed my arm. Those smiles had seemed forced and her eyes had not been as bright as they always were. And the way she had grabbed my arm? And she had grabbed my arms too firmly, like she needed me to protect her urgently. “Something happened. What happened?” I questioned, my brows tightly knitted together. “Happened?” She knitted her brows too, in confusion. Feigned confusion. “Peaches, who messed with you?” I reached for her hand and held one. For a second, vulnerability flashed in her eyes but it was gone the next second, replaced by happiness and brightness. FAKE. “No one messed with me. I… I just could not sleep well because of the thing with Journie yesterday. I… I kept seeing that bloody sight over and over again.” That could have been the case truly but I knew that was not the case. She was trying to cover up another case with this but I would let her do just that. It was obvious that she was trying to hide the person behind the dimming of her pretty eyes. Figuring it out, finding the bastard or bitch, sending the bastard to hell. I would do all that for her without bothering her about it. I reached my hand to her face and gently cupped her face. “I won’t ever make you see anything like that in the future.” “Forget about it.” She brightened up and grabbed my arm again. “Let’s go to your room.” “My room? Why?” “I need a reason to go into your room now?” She asked and the tightening in my chest eased away a little “You’ll never need to give me a reason to do anything you want.” I meant every word of that sentence. “Then off to your room!” She skipped forward, letting go of my arm. I watched her skip ahead of me while I walked behind her with just one thought in my head. Finding the bastard. It only took about a minute for us to walk into the living room of my home. My father was seated on a couch there and I watched him cock his head as I walked into the living room with Caily. “Good morning Mr. Giacometti.” “And who do we have here today? Pietro’s favorite human” He grinned at Peaches and I reached a hand to her wrist, grabbing her and pulling her close to me. “I’ll take my favorite human away now.” I said to him, my eyes communicating more than enough that he should shut the fuck up more. I pulled Caily along with me and didn’t let go of her wrist until we were in my room. I slammed the door shut after us, swallowed hard and then released my grip on her wrist. “You should try having a better relationship with your dad.” “Again, I need no relationship with anyone except you.” Peaches would not understand and I was never going to let her understand how much I had the urge to hurt others, hear them scream, butcher them slowly, tear them apart, make them beg for mercy like desperate souls seeking peace, go even further, torture them so slowly that they give up on begging for mercy and choose to beg for death itself. She had no idea how insuppressible the urge to deny them of the relief of death was. And for me, there was only one urge greater than that urge. The urge to protect her and keep her as mine for-fucking-ever. “There you go again.” She sighed dramatically and headed over to my bed. “Peaches, don’t sleep in my bed.” I hurried after her and yanked her away from my bed just before she could get onto it. Her lips held a small pout and her eyes questioned me. “Why? Being stingy with your bed now?” She asked, pulling her hand away from my grip and folding her arms across her chest. “Don’t get into any guy’s bed.” I said and picked her up. I lifted her off the floor effortlessly and gently dropped her onto the couch. The last time she had been in my room had been four days and thirteen hours ago. She had been in my bed for hours, reading a book and when she left? She had left her scent on my sheets. I was surrounded by that peachy scent all night and I had been uncontrollably hard all throughout the fucking night. There was no way I could stand that torture over again. “Would you watch the sunset with me tonight?” her enchanting voice asked. “I will, Peaches.” “And let’s watch the moon and the stars too.” She added and my brows furrowed. It was indeed a simple request but there was something about it. Yesterday, she had not been too eager to go home and today, though it was still morning, she was already concerned about having to go home at night. Whatever bastard was bothering my sweet Peaches, he was waiting until I was away before showing up. “Peaches.” “Hmm?” “Do you have a crush? A boy you like in school or around this place?” Why the fuck I was asking this damned question, I had no idea. “No. And I think it’s all thanks to you. You protect me from bullies but you have also done a fine job in making sure that everyone is so scared of you that they stay away from me. No one is close enough for me to actually like.” “Good.” The word left my lips with satisfaction. “Good? Good?!” She shot up from her seat, rushing over to me. “You are happy I’m not getting a boyfriend anytime soon?” She asked, playfulness in her voice. I only gave her a small smile, reached for her hair and tugged lightly at it. The hairband holding her hair up in a ponytail loosened and I pulled it out of her hair, letting her hair down her shoulders. “Hey” She pouted in playful annoyance and turned away from me. I watched with a light smile as she walked over to the framed drawing that hung on the wall. “In the future, I will find a nice guy, fall in love with him and live happily ever-after.” The smile was immediately replaced with a frown. ‘A nice guy’. Just like my father had said, Peaches was searching for a nice guy. My jaws clenched and my hands balled into a fist, squeezing her hairband tightly. Too bad because there would only be one guy for her in this lifetime and even in the fucking next. And that one guy wasn’t so nice. “Calm the fuck down, Pietro.” I muttered underneath my breath. There were no doubts to Peaches being mine and there could never be. So instead of losing my shit over the imaginary nice guy, I’d better channel my energy into getting that bastard tonight.(THE PRESENT)CAILY GALILEO‘Was this right?’ That was the question I had been asking myself all day. I had visited the site through the link Trisha sent me last night and after scrolling through and shying away from what I was there to do for about an hour, I had finally sent a message.But I had grown anxious the moment I sent the message and so I had hurriedly dropped my phone and gone off to sleep right after. All throughout the day, I had not visited the site to check if I had gotten a response from the person I sent the message to. It felt wrong to do it. Felt wrong to have sent the message and it felt wrong to be hoping I get replied. The ringing of my phone made me look away from my screen; the data entry. It was Dylan, my boyfriend calling. I felt my body tense a bit, wondering over again what Dylan would think if he ever found out I was about doing this. He'd feel cheated on, wouldn't he?I picked my phone up, got on my feet and walked away from the office to avoid bother
THE PASTPIETRO GIACOMETTIHer window was open and I was standing right outside, leaning against the tree by her window side and gently twirling the knife in my hands. I had been here for about two hours already but no one had approached the house or her room. The tree I was standing underneath was quite shady and in the darkness of the night, I could not be noticed by anyone so there was no way the bastard had noticed me and decided not to come closer.The night was cold, awfully cold and I had to rub my palms together regularly to create a little bit of heat. I could choose go to my room, grab some thick clothes and get back here but a lot could happen in those few minutes and I wasn’t going to not protect what belonged to me over a cold night.Another hour passed and the cold night was starting to be more than just a cold night. There was a little drizzle of rain but not even that could deter me. I was going to spend every hour of every night here until I get the bastard.There wa
THE PRESENT CAILY GALILEO My heart was pounding and I was nervous. Very nervous. I was going to make a stranger cum over a phone and I had zero idea about what to do! I had never even made anyone cum before! With that realisation striking me, I quickly tried to search for how to phone sex but before the results could load, a call had already popped in. I swallowed, feeling small beads of sweats find their way to my forehead. My most asked question of the day popped into my brain yet again. 'WAS THIS RIGHT?' I cleared my throat and let out a soft ‘hello’ before actually picking the call. I was shaking a foot terribly now and my palms were very sweaty. “Hey beautiful.” His voice. His voice was all it took for me to stop shaking my foot in nervousness. A small blush reddened my cheek as I stared at the wall with slightly widened eyes. Why was his voice so… so hot and attractive? His voice sounded so deep and… “Hello.” I said back to him softly, reminding myself that this was
THE PAST CAILY GALILEO I should have believed it when the others said it. I should have listened when I was told that Pietro was a monster. I should have chosen to be friends with the others and stick by their bullying instead of believing for a second that Pietro was human. He wasn't human. He was the farthest thing from being human. The tears rolled down non stop and I had given up on brushing those tears away. They wouldn't stop anyway, no matter how many times I did so. I only needed the image of that monster stabbing my father to appear in my head and the tears would start pouring all over again. "It's alright, Caily. Wipe your tears." Mr. Giacometti's voice filled my ears and I sat up, adjusting myself on the couch. "I have called for your Aunt and she will be here to pick you up soon." He added as he walked up to me and handed a cup of hot chocolate to me. "I have gotten to know from watching Pietro buy loads of chocolates that you fancy chocolates a lot" he said and I
THE PRESENT CAILY GALILEO "That wasn't me. That could not have been me. That could not have been me acting on my own will. It was for the money. Not for myself." I whispered to myself as I stared wide eyed at the ceiling. But no matter how much I said those words to myself, I could not deny the reality that it had been me. That I had been the one who touched myself to the voice of a stranger and that I had actually liked it. I had started for the money but midway, somehow, someway, I had forgotten about the money and totally lost myself in the... "Oh please shut up!" I shut off the thoughts in my head, sitting up on my bed and kicking the duvet off my body. Liked it? Liked it? I did it because I needed the money but had I really liked it? I got out of bed and moved towards my closet. My body... My body had liked it, the way my fingers trailed my body while I pictured manly, strong hands touching me. His voice soothing my ears and setting my body on a type of fire I ha
THE PAST PIETRO GIACOMETTI "I hate you. Read my lips… I hate you so much and I will never ever... never forgive you!” Those words, that teary face stained with blood from me holding her face, that sadness and anger, that hatred. All that kept me up the entire night. She had said all those words to me and she had called me a monster. My Peaches had looked at me and she had seen a monster. She had not seen that human she always wanted to be around, she had not seen a man who would always be standing by her side. All she had seen was a monster she wanted to flee away from. And I should let her. I should let Caily run far away from me so that I would never have to see her in tears like that again. I should let her go away from me so that this obsession for her, this need for her could at least die down but I could not. I could not let her run away from me because my need for her could never die down. She would come to understand my actions and she would take back her words about
CAILY GALILEO I walked into the restaurant Dylan had booked for our dinner date. It wasn't as luxurious as the ones he had usually taken me to for our dinner dates but it wasn't so bad either. And I guessed he was trying to cut down on costs since he spent so much on making Kate comfy. His eyes lit up the second he spotted me approaching him and he smiled. I smiled back at him, feeling good at how his eyes lightened up with happiness at the sight of me. He got up from his chair and met me. "Hi babe." he kissed my cheek and I kissed him back on the cheek. "Here." he pulled out my chair for me and I whispered a thank you to him, relaxing myself in the chair. He walked over to his own chair, the light smile still on his face. "You look beautiful tonight. I mean, you always look beautiful though." he chuckled, complimenting me but I could not help but shift a little but uncomfortably. Him calling me beautiful just made me recall that stranger calling me beautiful. His voice was d
PIETRO GIACOMETTI Fuck. Why had I brought my phone along with me? Why had I received this text in this moment? It would have been satisfying to take the bastard out of my way permanently over this hassle. She can't come stay with me because she has a boyfriend but she'd definitely come over when her boyfriend gets missing under very mysterious circumstances, wouldn't she? I could have gotten the bastard out of the way a while back but I had been keeping a check on myself. A check not to slaughter any of the people around Caily. I didn't want her pretty face getting pulled into a deep frown of anger if she finds out that I killed a few people around her. But her boyfriend... I could have made this one exception and gotten rid of him very quietly, so quietly that Caily would never even realise that he was gone. But this text from her... "Fine, let's not ruin things because of this urge to see little Dylan torn apart into several pieces. I still have quite a few to tear
CAILY GALILEO PIETRO GIACOMETTI "Fuck! Fine, I will stay away but let me see that you are fine first, Peaches!" I groaned before kicking the door in my frustration. "No" her voice, soft and yet determined tormented me. I knew she was hurt. Something had broken and I just knew Caily had hurt herself, not intentionally but she was hurt and I could not leave her be while she was hurt. What the hell would I do if she didn't get the cut treated quickly? What would I do if it turned into something more? What the fuck would I do if I had to see her in pains? "I am not going anywhere until you open the door and I see that you are fine and you know it, Peaches.""Then be there. Stay right there" There was the hint of pain in her voice and I hated it. In this situation, I could almost not fucking believe that I loved hearing others in pain. Hearing her in pain tortured me and I kicked the door in desperation. I ran a hand through my hair. I had ensured that Peaches room had the best se
CAILY GALILEO I redialed the contact, heart pounding even more. Anne had not picked the call at the first dial but this time she picked it up on the third ring. "Hello," I said into the phone immediately the call was picked. "Caily." her voice was slightly shaky, clearly infused with fear. "Hi, how... How have you been doing?" I tried to start up simply. "Very well." She replied but her voice didn't sound like she had been doing very well before I called. "Are you alright? You sound a little..." "I am fine. Very fine." she cut me off, her words hurried. "I was doing something so if there's nothing urgent, maybe we can talk later" She added and it was so obvious she had intentionally avoided my first call. "There is!" I quickly said. "I have a question. Is Mr. Trien still coming to work? When last did you see him?" I asked before she could end the call. The other end of the lie went quiet for the next few seconds and I had to check the phone screen to be sure the call
PIETRO GIACOMETTI I CAN'T.I can't lose her again. I have lost Caily once before and I had to stay nine fucking years without her. That could not happen again. I ran a hand through my hair, pulling it back with a quite strong grip. My breathing was irregular and I was feeling a whole lot of fucking awful feeling all at the same time. Regrets. I should not have let that bastard live! I had let him live eventually because of Caily, because I didn't want this to fucking happen. Because I was trying to put a leash on myself for her but this is what happens when I try to leash myself. Regrets! Fuck! I should have killed him, killed the bastard who had come for him too. But the regret wasn't what hurt the most. It was this almost fucking familiar feeling of loss. I hated the feeling so fucking badly that I just wanted to pull at my own heart and fucking rip it out to stop this maddening ache. Yet, I wanted that ache. In fact, I wanted my heart to ache even more because I had hurt her ag
CAILY GALILEO My heart pounded hard as I waited for Dylan's next words, for what he had to say about Pietro. Hoping, desperately hoping that he was about to tell me that Pietro had saved him from that place he thought he would not be able to survive. Hoping even when I knew fully well that hope could not be true. That Pietro could never save Dylan from anything. "He kidnapped me and... And he... he tortured me." The dress in my hand dropped to the floor immediately as I felt a bang in my head with those words from Dylan. "Wh... What do you mean by that?" I stuttered out."I told you, Caily. That he is an evil person. I told you Pietro Giacometti is not human and he has no humane feelings or emotions in him. He kidnapped me, Caily and I almost died. I really thought I was going to die.""Pi... Pietro kidnapped you?" I asked the question even though it had clearly been confirmed just now. "Kidnapped was the least painful of what I went through. I was stabbed. My legs..." His voice
CAILY GALILEO Lips pressed to my forehead as I slowly stirred awake. "Hmm " I grumbled as I moved a hand to my eyes and rubbed lightly on it before fluttering my eyes open. "You are awake," Pietro whispered, looking into my eyes before kissing the tip of my nose. I closed my eyes for a short second before nodding and reopening my eyes. His gaze was mine. "Oh god, don't tell me you are thinking of..." I started. Pietro chuckled, a heartwarming sound coming from him and I could feel my heart rate pick up. He put a hand to my face, cupping it gently. "I love your eyes. They are beautiful and that's why I am staring, not cause I want to fuck you. I do want to fuck you but yeah, we can take a break for a tiny while." He caressed my cheek gently and leaned in a little bit more to kiss my jawline and then my neck. He pulled back up to look at me and moved his hand to my hair, gently patting it. "Let's go on a date tonight, what do you say?" He asked and my heart picked up
Journie tapped slowly on his table. A combined act of impatience and control. He was impatient, gravely so but he was hell bent on keeping his impatience controlled. His face was twisted into a small frown as his gaze fixed onto the door. A knock came and Journie's frown lines vanished as his face smoothened into a calm look. "Come in." He said, his voice still having a hint of impatience that he immediately sought to get rid of by clearing his throat while the door opened, his female guest walking into the office. "Trisha." "Good day" Trisha smiled back at him, a tight smile as she walked up to the desk. "May I?""Sure, sure. You absolutely may."Trisha pulled the chair and sat down opposite Journie. "You said you had business for me.""Oh yes, I do. I did some checks on you and I found out that you recently worked for Pietro Giacometti"Trisha's body tensed a little bit at the mention of the name. "And? Why are you running checks on me?" She questioned. "It's nothing big. J
CAILY GALILEO HE WAS RIGHT.Pietro was right that the most appealing option is not always the best option because as he dropped me into a room I had not entered into for over a week, I knew I was going to be crazy very soon. Into the red room. Pietro dropped me on the bed. I was still in the ripped sleep wear, legs betraying my once upon a time ability to work. "Spread your legs, Peaches" His deep voice came and my legs, the same ones that betrayed me obeyed him instantly and my legs immediately parted wide. "You have a very pretty pussy, carino. Every inch of you is so pretty. Every bit of you is such a beauty that overwhelms my being." His fingers trailed my thighs lightly and I swallowed hard as his fingers moved closer to my sensitive, twitching pussy. I sucked in a deep breath as his fingers got very close to my slit. "How about I make you cum on my face? Have your pussy on my face and make you grind this sweet cunt on my face. Tongue fuck your pussy and rub your clit. How
CAILY GALILEOPietro grabbed me by the waist while I still shivered in the light of my climax. He pulled himself to sit up against the headboard and pulled my head to his, kissing me. A soft moan left me into the kiss as I kissed him back, my hands on his broad shoulders. I gasped as two fingers thrusted into my still squelching pussy. My lips shook against his, as the kiss turned less deep. He brushed his lips against mine, his other hand moving up my back so slowly and so slightly that it kept me quivering and then all at once, his hand reached into my hair and he grabbed it."Aahhh" my breath was shaky, his grip firm in my hair. "Red." He said the words and my brows pulled together a bit, confused before a thrust of his fingers in my pussy set my brows on another expression. "That's your safe word. You might be needing it."A safe word. What... What was he planning to do to me? "What's your safe word?" He pulled at my hair and a whimper left my lip."Red" I gasped out. "Good.
THE NEXT MORNING CAILY GALILEO I woke up first today. Maybe because I had slept while Pietro had been out yesterday so I woke up a little bit earlier this morning. According to the table clock, it was four minutes past 6am. I moved my gaze from the not so interesting sight of the table clock to a very interesting and appealing sight. The man holding me in his arms. I moved slightly in his arms to see his face better and heavens, I think I would have to wake up early from now on to take a glimpse of this face before he got up. Messy hair was splayed all over his forehead, in a way that suggested that he might have run his fingers through them a few times overnight but maybe that was me. And then his closed eyes... With his eyes open, Pietro was fucking handsome. Those light brown eyes that seemed to brighten in a dark way whenever they landed on me. But with those eyes closed, Pietro was a fucking piece of artwork. My gaze slowly went over his features, taking my time fully
