“Grace? You’re here?” Mrs Alicia Franco, Grace’s mother asked the moment she walked past the living room, heading out for work.

She was surprised that Grace hadn’t stepped out of the house yet.

Grace glanced up at her mom and sighed, “No mama, I’m not leaving today. I feel sick.” She said as she struggled to sit up straight.

Ever since she saw Alessia being dragged like some kind of animal that day, she had never had any peace in her life again. Not also adding the part where she provoked the only person who had promised to take care of Alessia.

Dante must hate her now.

She could barely focus at work, and today she was so close to having her leg cut off at the gym when she was slightly distracted.

“Sick? Come over and let me check.” Alicia harried her as she turned to walk to where she was seated.

“No mama, I’m fine. I just need a little sleep and I’ll be back to normal.” She shook her head, extending a hand to stop Alicia who already closed the distance between them as she first plac

    “Boss, there’s a problem!” A guard ran forward to the courtyard where Marco sat with Dante as they went through some pieces of information gathered about their all-time enemy: Double S.Dante groaned in utter frustration and ran a hand through his hair. “Fuck it! Can we stay a day or two without bad news?!” He yelled out.Marco looked up at him with an amused smile, “This is the mafia. We’re far from peace.” He probed with a shrug and turned towards the already sweating guard. The guard knew without a doubt that if Marco heard the bad news he brought, he might end up destroying the entire mansion in rage.“What is it? What bad news could make you sweat this much despite the cold weather? Look, it’s going to rain any minute now.” Marco taunted, he relaxed in his seat as he watched his guard.“Boss…. It’s the lady with the red hair.”“What?” Marco finally sat up at the mention of Alessia’s name. He didn’t even let the guard tell him exactly what happened before he got up to his feet and

    “Alessia, you have to tell me where you are! I need to come get you!” Grace rushed upstairs to grab her jacket as she rushed out of the house and towards the road.Alessia who was standing in the call booth had already made it clear to herself that she would never do anything to endanger her best friend’s life. If Grace got even closer to Marco, then she would face a much harsher punishment considering that she loved putting up a fight when she felt pressured.“Grace, please don’t come to find me. I’ll leave Sicily for a while and I promise to return once he forgets me.” She promised as she glanced around for any signs of the dreaded enemy.Something told her that Marco might have found out about her absence and would soon be coming to find her.“You can’t do this on your own, baby. You need help.” Grace said as tears stung her eyes. How did things get to this? How?“I’ll be fine, I don’t want you to get entangled in this situation too. It’s too dangerous.” Alessia said with a bitter

    Alessia felt gazes on her, but she dared not turn around again to check who was particularly glaring at her.She hurried over to the ticket stand to buy a ticket to Scilla and thankfully, it went faster.She got her ticket and hurried over to the awaiting train. But her luck ran out at this point because two guards came out of nowhere to stand before her, blocking the entrance of the train.Alessia saw those shoes, those shoes that sent fear into the deepest part of her.She slowly glanced up at them and despite the mask she had on, the fear still didn’t disperse, and neither did she feel they might not recognize her.She paused and backed away slowly, also bumping into a passerby who glared daggers at her for not watching where she was headed.Alessia’s breathing hitched and got caught up in her throat as tears began to gather in her eyes.She felt the fear, they found her.She turned around to run, only to be met with more guards standing behind her.Couldn’t the passersby see she w

    Dante sitting in the car with Marco couldn’t bear it anymore the moment he saw her fall harshly to the ground as he asked, “Are you just going to sit here and expect those punks to catch her? They’re clearly doing a bad job.”Marco remained quiet. Of course, he wasn’t just letting the guards catch her, he would step in eventually when the time was right.“No.” That was all he said and ignored Dante totally.Dante gritted his teeth and looked away as he ran a hand through his hair.She was hurting herself and he hated to admit that it pained him in a way.Just when Alessia reached the end of the street, she caught sight of hope!There before her, at the last place she already envisioned herself being caught, was a Taxi.“God is really on my side.” She said and smiled happily.She sped up her pace and soon arrived just where the Taxi was parked.Thankfully, the driver was just about to drive away.Marco’s eyes widened already knowing her intentions.He picked up the walkie-talkie again

    Seeing her getting into a Taxi and driving off, Marco sighed as he clenched his fist.She was so determined to escape from him. Was he that bad for her?Did she hate him that much?Dante said nothing as he kept on a stoic expression.Marco finally closed the laptop, “I’ll take it from here.” He interjected and pushed the car door open.“Get out of the driver's seat!” He said to the driver of the other car parked right beside him.He then got into the car, a sleek black sedan, and drove off. His mind began to work its wonders as he tried to figure out the route the red hair would eventually take to escape this time.He had a small smile on his lips thinking of the way she took off upon seeing his men.“Crazy little poppy.” He muttered under his breath.He wasn’t the type to do this; go after women who rejected him. But Alessia was different.Marco never dated formally, but he eventually fell for someone at first sight.And, why?Her craziness, her looks, and her sense of humor.She was

    The rain thumped incessantly against the windows, a steady, cadenced drumming that filled the room with its grim melody.The opened window let in a gust of wind that carried droplets of rain which splashed on Alessia’s sleeping face. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open slowly as the coolness of the rain kissed her skin.She blinked as her gaze fixed on the white ceiling above, her eyes widening in confusion. With a start, she jerked upright in panic.“What the….” She glanced around the room, taking in the sight of things in it.From the heavy curtains to the ornate furniture, the faint scent of Marco’s cologne lingered in the air.“Wait, Marco?” She asked out loud as she finally realized where she was. Her eyes grew wide and her lips trembled in shock.She was back in the same room she had escaped from yesterday.She was back here in Marco’s house!She shook her head in denial, “This can’t be happening. I almost left Reggio…. I left this place yesterday… Wait, was it yesterday? Y

    Marco’s phone rang at that time and he glanced down at it to see it was a call from his father.A sigh left his lips as he picked the phone up, ready to end the call. But on second thought, Ezekiel never called him this early in the morning and on a rainy day.So, he chose to answer the call.“Yes, Father?”“Marco, what have you been up to?” Ezekiel didn’t beat around the bush as he asked. There was no time for pleasantries. “Any sign of Double S and our weapon?” He added.“No.” Marco returned with a sigh. “I’m still working on it,” Marco added.“Well work harder! You don’t have time on your side anymore.” Ezekiel raised his voice, wanting to instill fear into Marco.“I’ve got it. And don’t tell me that's the only reason you called.” Marco retorted as he walked and waved his hand, dismissing the maid.“Of course not. I called you because of what we discussed a few days ago. Miracle will be entering the country today and you’re expected to be at the airport in 30 minutes. You’ll be tak

    The guard pulled open the car door for Mimi and she glanced at the guard before getting into the car. She turned towards Marco who had his gaze fixated on her, and smirked as she pulled off her oversized shades. “Long time no see,” She drawled, the smirk still in place. Marco returned the smirk with his charming ones. The kind that would disarm anyone. “Indeed, The Miracle Gonzalo.” He replied, his voice smooth and unhurried. Their eyes met in a silent clash of egos, each too proud to break the moment first. They were supposed to be fiancés, but their relationship was a battlefield of egos, they were unwilling to yield. Despite looking at the woman before him and taking in every feature of her face, Marco never felt his heart skip a beat like it always did each time he glanced at Alessia. If anything, he didn’t even feel like staring at Miracle. So many years had passed and she had eventually grown into a very beautiful woman. But to him, the only woman who was beautiful enough

    The next day, Grace arrived at the airport, ready to board the plane to her dream country.Everything she ever dreamed of was coming true, although it looked like everything was falling apart at first, it eventually came together.Standing at the airport gates and clutching her ticket tightly, she couldn’t help but look back over her shoulder. Sicily had been her home, the place where she had laughed, cried and grown. Her heart swelled with a mix of nostalgia and excitement as memories washed over her: moments of laughter with Alessia, sneaking out on wild journies, quiet nights where she and Dante would talk and cuddle until dawn. She had always dreamed of seeing the world, but leaving this life wasn’t easy. Yet, knowing that her best friend was now happy, married, and building a family of her own made it feel right. She had her dreams to chase, after all.Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the gate, trying to push aside the ache in her heart. Just as she took a step forward,

    Grace was so excited that she couldn’t stop rambling on and on as she picked out the perfect wedding dress for her dear Alessia. A proud smile crossed Alessia’s face as she watched her best friend getting so excited about her wedding. She was surprised when Grace told her that Dante had also proposed to her. But Grace being Grace had rejected the proposal. To her, she wanted to go to school first.“Do you have to go to school?” Alessia asked as she glared at Grace who wouldn’t stop grinning. “Ali, we’ve talked about this before. You know I’ve always wanted to go to school in the US. Besides, it’s just 4 years.” She said and pouted.“But I don’t want you to leave,” Alessia pouted also.Grace teared up, moving to hug her friend. “Sorry my baby,” she muttered. “But if you’re happy for me, you’ll wish me well instead of crying.” Grace poked, earning a jab from Alessia.The manager of the mall watched them with a smile, wondering how these two managed to push through life to this day.

    A month later, Salvatore walked into Devil's Den to find Marco who had invited him there. When he arrived, he met with Selena waiting for him by the corner. “Welcome, please come with me." She said, knowing he was Marco's guest. Salvatore watched her face for a while and nodded. He followed her as they both got into the elevator and went up to the second floor. Ever since Marco and Salvatore made up, they rekindled their previous friendship. They would often drink and go for meetings together, it made Dante feel betrayed, but of course, they never left him behind. When Selena and Salvatore arrived at the top floor where the supposed Marco was supposed to be waiting for him, he found the place empty.“Where is he?" He asked as he sat on one of the couches in the room.“I presume he is on his way," Selena said robotically. Salvatore smirked, baffled by how she took this mafia work even more seriously than the men.He wondered if she ever smiled in her life considering she was always

    When Salvatore walked in fully, everyone including Alessia excused themselves to give the two some privacy.Now left alone in the hospital room, Marco smirked and said, “So it's you? You're that one stubborn mercenary." “That's a wonderful way to apologize, Marco," Salvatore said, moving to sit on the chair by the hospital bed.Marco's brow creased in confusion, “Apologize? For what?" He asked.“Please don't act like you don't know the reason we drifted apart." The smile on Tore’s face disappeared, replaced by a serious look.Seriously, Marco didn't understand what he was talking about. “I still don't get you. We drifted apart because your father hated my family." “Are you kidding me? We were friends even after the rift began. That wasn't the reason." Salvatore reminded him, this time he could feel his anger building up in him.Marco stayed silent, trying to recall what exactly had transpired between them in the past. The only thing he remembered was that Salvatore had a girlfriend…

    It took Marco two days to finally wake up. When he did, he felt a bit strange. This time, the thing on his face had been removed and his right there was someone else face.Alessia sat beside him, or more like lay beside him on the bed, her dark circles visible and a sign that she hadn't slept well in a while.Marco smiled, then reached out a hand to pat her hair.What happened when he was asleep and how long it had been?When Alessia felt a hand on her hair, she immediately opened her eyes.Her eyes met his and a surprised look consumed her face. “Marco?" She asked carefully, trying to make sure she wasn't hallucinating again.“Mia Cara." He muttered to convince her that she wasn't seeing things.Alessia jerked up instantly and called his name again. “Marco?" “You aren't hallucinating, Baby." Marco chuckled.And before he could guess her next move, she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly.“Oh my goodness! You're awake! You're finally awake!"Alessia pulled away slightly, her

    Alessia stared at Marcel and Salvatore, especially Dante. She was confused as to why their faces looked so worried. “Alessia…” Delilah’s voice called from the side. Alessia turned to see who the voice belonged to. Of course she knew that familiar voice.When she saw Delilah, her eyes widened in shock. "Delilah? You're here?” She asked, unknowingly walking over to Delilah. Delilah smiled through the tears coming out of her eyes and immediately hugged Alessia. "It's so good to see you again, Alessia.” She muttered, patting her back.Alessia pulled away from her and smiled thinly. “Why are you crying? Did you miss me that much?" She teased, wanting to make the old lady smile.Delilah chuckled, wiping her tears. “Yes." She said, though it was a lie. She missed Alessia, but she was more concerned about Alessia's reaction if she saw the current Marco.Alessia was confused by the worried faces of everyone. Wasn't getting Marco out a good thing? Why did they all look sad?“What happened?" S

    Getting Marco out of that place wasn’t easy, but Salvatore’s men were hellbent. They called Dante and handed the items back to him.Dante was surprised, he had initially thought that Salvatore would never agree. To top it all, he hadn’t even seen Salvatore’s face before.He only wished to see Double S, not that he would tell anyone of him.He received the items, took them back to the base, and informed a few of the family members about it.He even had to forge that Marco had them all those while but chose to hide and see what Francesco and his children would do. When the twins heard of this, they sent people after Dante, they aimed to ruin the items and maybe kill Dante off.Dante, being the ever so smart one, ran off. It wasn’t easy for Lorenzo and Leonard’s men to get to him.He was faster and better than they would ever be.Salvatore’s men launched an attack on the twins, destroying and eventually killing both of them. It wasn’t easy, but they succeeded.Delilah helped Marco to hi

    Marcel called Salvatore over, taking his time to plead with his son to forgive Marco for the sake of his sister.Salvatore as usual wasn't easily pleased and he immediately rejected his father's pleading.Marcel didn't give up. For the next one month, he tried his best to get some men to locate where Salvatore had hidden the items he stole from the De Lucas. If he could find it, he would return it to Dante and have him save Marco. But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find it.Alessia spent the entire day and night crying nonstop in her bedroom. She even fell sick at some point. She would also starve herself often. Salvatore saw all these, but he didn't budge.On this day, Alessia actually slit her wrist, aiming to kill herself.Salvatore went to a meeting with his father. He was about to tell his opinion on the current matter they had at hand, but to his greatest surprise, a sharp pain shot through his left wrist. Because it was unexpected, he winced instinctively.Marcel t

    Alessia hurriedly asked the guards to let Dante and Grace into the mansion.She couldn’t believe they had come, although she was scared that her father and Salvatore might come out and get angry at the sight of Dante since he was a De Luca.“Alessia, what are you doing here?” Dante lowered his voice and asked. Of course, he knew this place, Marcel Stefano Marino’s house, one of the most deadly mafia lords of Sicily. It was a place where the De Lucas family was certainly unwelcome.Alessia swallowed, throwing a glance at the looming hallway before leaning closer. “I… I live here. I’m Stefano Marino’s daughter.” Her voice was steady, but the fear in her eyes was unmistakable.Dante, however, merely shook his head, cutting her off before she could explain further.“There’s no time for that.” His voice was clipped, laced with urgency. “Alessia, Marco’s father is dead. Do you understand what that means?”Alessia’s eyes dropped, and she nodded solemnly. “I know. I saw it in the news right
