Arianna Romano"Move back Arianna!" She screamed, her body shaking with fear."Cassie, please." My eyes were already dry from crying and now I'm starting again, my face swollen."Do as you're told little princess." He warned, grabbing the knife tighter to her neck."Arianna," She tries to smile despite being in a lot of pain and that made me cry more. "It's definitely not your fault, and I definitely don't want you to cry or worry, beating yourself up for whatever happens now in the future.""Please, just let her go." I plead, getting on my knees weakly."Oh god, the princess - I mean the fucking princess is on her knees in front of me." The masked man laughed, holding her hair tighter."I swear to God, when I catch you, your death would be bad." I growl at him, stating my words matter-of-factly."That's my girl." Cassie praised, trying her best to smile."Times up. " The man announced, sliding the knife across her neck in one deep swift motion leaving her falling to the ground before
Matteo Rodriguez Amsterdam. Where it all started. And where it all ended. Most people don't know my backstory. They dig and search and they still find nothing. And I'd rather they not know. Only person aware of what I've been through is Vera and looks like she doesn't want anyone knowing her business so that's a win-win. Loading the guns stacked on my dressing table, I sigh looking at all the scars on my body. Running my fingers over each of them, the memories comes rushing in. My eyes closed shut as the pain remains evidently real in my mind. 'Every scar is a reminder of a mistake or what you've been through.' Ophelia's words rings in my head and I scoff. I'm a murderer. It's a fact. Something I grew up knowing and taught to do. I know that with everything I've done, there's no place in heaven for me. Pulling me out of my thoughts, a knock resounded throughout my quiet room. It's 2am and I'm ready to blow off anyone's head who's trying to disturb my peace but when I open th
Arianna RomanoI've never felt so lost before in my life.I've never felt so clueless before in my life.I know we are meant to wait for the Wolves to contact us but I feel like we're missing something.Mateo is not making this anymore better by not making me tell them about the hidden camera.I trust my people.I do not care if there is a traitor among us, there has to be a reason they're doing that.Even if I don't tell all of them, Salvatore has to know. Only Salvatore.I just need to get the hidden camera from Mateo-Wait. Hidden camera.... hidden camera...."HIDDEN TRACKER!" I scream out, startling half of the men in the room.We're currently having an emergency meeting about how to get Ophelia. Everyone's trying their best to come up with ideas to find out the secret hideout of the Wolves but we all come up with something. Nothing."Hidden tracker?" Mateo asks, cocking his head to the side trying to figure me out."Yes hidden tracker. When we had a near death experience with one
Matteo Rodriguez Everything changed. The house became more quiet mainly because Ophelia wasn't here. Everyone were minding their business and trying not to cause any problem. Not that I mind though like come on, who doesn't like some quiet even if there isn't any peace. What bothered me was that after the scene in the meeting room, Arianna has been avoiding me. I don't know if it was from shame or embarrassment, she's just been running off in the other direction anytime she sees me. Standing by the hallway at 4am I contemplate if I should or shouldn't approach her now. I already know that anytime soon, she'd come out for some snack. Going back into my room, I pace around. "Mateo, what the fuck is wrong with you?" I stare at my reflection. "You didn't do anything wrong so why are you so restless, if anything she should be the one to meet me and thank me." Well she didn't ask you to shove him for the way he talked to her, my inner mind states the obvious and I roll my eyes.
Arianna Romano The horrible smell of cigarettes filled the air as I stare at the one eyed mother fucker standing in front of me."Brought the list?" He ask chuckling while all I wanna do is just to snap his neck."Would I be here if I didn't?" I reply matter of factly.He laughs. The fucker laughed."Arianna," He starts, walking towards me and from the corner of my eye, I see Mateo's hand fasten on the gun on his hip. "Can I ask a question? If you-""Oh shut up. You talk too much, just give us the kid and let's skip this fucking boring pleasantries." Mateo demands and the one eye guy scoffs.Okay things might get bloody anytime soon."And you are?," The one eye guy asks, placing his hand in his pockets standing straight and I held a scoff as he tries to reach the same height as Mateo."I'm josh.""Did I ask? no. Do I care? no. Stop trying so hard to act like a bad guy when you're just a hound dog to the real boss." Mateo replies, playing with the cartridge.The tension rises in the r
Arianna Romano "What do you want?" I snap as we walk into my office to have some personal conversation."Arianna, I am your father, the former King of the Italian-American Mafia!" He brags blindly, walking around my table. "Why would you ask such a stupid question?""You just said it yourself, the FORMER king. It's my reign now so you have no business here now."He takes a long hard look at me. "I heard you exchanged our confidential information for a little girl?"I raise my eyebrows in response. I already know where he's headed at, I already know what he's trying to say."You know how important it is and you still exchanged it?""Yes, she's a daughter of someone in my team." I respond, looking straight ahead, ignoring his head. A"So?" He asks stupidly."So?" I take a step closer to him. "My teammate's daughter was abducted because of me, so I was meant to just let her die?""Yes."What? How-how is this man my father?"If you have nothing more to say I think it's time you leave, Mr
Vera MeadowsThe more I stare at the man, the more I was fueled with anger. How can anyone do this to your fellow human without any remorse?The scene continue to replay in my mind and I just can't get it off. The way he gnashed his teeth. The way he wanted to kill anything and anyone in sight.The way his iris flashed with anger and hunger of a predator."Vera?" Redd calls me aside and I finally tear my eyes away from the man. "I need your help."With what?" I reach to hold his hand and he pulls me into his arms."I want you to hack into something for me." He hands me the phone he finds from the man's pocket to me. "This phone. Maybe we can get something from it you know.""Oh sure!" I skip off, braids bouncing behind me."Wait up. It's too late to be so giddy." I hear him curse before his hurried steps which makes me smile. He's like a big old grumpy grandpa.Seating at my desk with different monitors facing me, it really felt like home.Hacking is my life because it involves a diff
Arianna Romano "Please, leave me alone.""She died because of YOU!" My father loud voice made me shiver. Was it the fear or the cold weather?"Daddy, please, it's so cold." I begged repeatedly, my body shaking as I continue to stand in snow."You have to learn. No one has it easy in life." With those last words, my biological father left my ten year old self out to freeze in the snow just because I picked out a daisy instead of a rose for my mother's death anniversary.Maybe she did die because of me.....I scream myself to wake up and Mateo jolts awake surprised."Hey. hey. hey. I'm here." Mateo reassures me wrapping his strong arms around me.Memories keep coming at me as nightmares these days and I always find myself going to his room."I'm so-sorry." my body was still trembling and I couldn't make it stop. "I woke you up again.""It's fine, besides no one can hurt you when I'm around." He places his chin on my head with his arms around my small body saying soothing words repeated
