Liviana Castelli has always loved books.

She loved to read and learn the lives of others- going through a thousand lifetimes in just her one. She had lived a thousand lives, a thousand stories, a thousand tales of love by just reading what one’s mind could come up with. And she savored every moment.

When she was a child, she would read fairytales of princesses and princes, with magic and love and that ending of them riding off into the sunset and living happily ever after. It was all smiles, la

    The door shut behind them with a decisive click, followed by the sound of the lock sliding into place, loud and final, ringing in their ears like an alarm bell.Blaze lingered by the door, watching as his wife trailed away with a heavy sigh."Liv-""Sorry, sorry, sorry," she hushed out apology after apology, keeping her back to him as she began to cry. "God, I'm so sorry! I don't know what's wrong with me..." she muttered, utterly humiliated, cursing herself for the scene.As if her mother hadn't done enough already, here she was making it worse..."Fuck, I'm sorry. I-" she hiccupped, clutching at her chest, crying harder once she realized she couldn't stop the tears. "Fuck..."Blaze frowned, watching as her shoulders shook with each heartbreaking sob."No, love, it's fine. You're fine," he swore, taking a single step closer, as if to convince her. "You've got nothing to apologize for. Alright? There's nothing wrong with you."Naturally, she couldn't help but disagree."But there is!

    The ride was quiet, almost awkward, for all of ten minutes before the man caved - a record, he was sure.“Are you okay?” Blaze finally asked, turning her way after what felt like an eternity’s worth of silence.When Livi offered a simple hum in response, nothing more, he sighed.“Are you sure?” he went on, fingers tapping nervously on his legs, drumming the tune of some distant song. “You’re not... upset with me?” He lowered his voice with the question, as if he were scared to ask, scared to know what she would say.She swallowed hard, eyes slowly tearing themselves away from the scenery outside, forcing them to meet his eyes. “I-“ she started, the word ‘yes’ on the tip of her tongue.But one look at his face, all hopeful and heartbroken and beautifully torn, and she couldn’t bring herself to do it.“No,” she answered after a second thought, voice softening as she took the time to take him in. Her eyes trailed over the blood, the bruises, the shame that brewed in his eyes with somethi

    “You really don’t know what happened?”“No,” Leona answered, voice flat as she stared down at her phone screen.“You’re sure they didn’t mention anything?” Violet continued, practically interrogating the woman, who couldn’t be less interested. “Anything at all?”“Nope. Nothing.”“Really?” Violet pressed her. “Nothing?”Leo sighed, confirming again that no, they didn’t tell her a damn thing. “If they had, I would’ve told you by now,” she swore.The disbelief is written across Violet’s face and evident in the way she rolled her eyes. “Sure, you would,” she muttered, turning away from the woman with another heavy sigh, knowing that their history said otherwise.Leona scoffed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”The blonde shook her head, answering, “Nothing...”“No, what was that?” Leona demanded. “You don’t believe me?”“I never said that.”“But you implied it,” Leo shot back, lifting a brow as she asked, “Why? Do you not trust me anymore?”Another sigh. “Leo, please. Don’t start.”The woma

    “Can we help you with something?”The sound of Armani’s voice, sharp and straight to the point, cut in from his left, and Blaze sighed at the sound.“Mani-“ he tried to step in, tried to tell him not to bother, that it wasn’t worth it, but he wouldn’t listen.“No,” Armani held his hand up to silence him, his eyes trained on the temperamental man behind them. He took quick notice of the white powder dusted across the side of his nostril, but didn’t let it deter him. “The man obviously has a problem with us, and I want to know what it is.”Blaze scoffed and shoved his hand away. “Well, I don’t, so-““So go,” Armani waved him off. “I want to hear what he has to say. What’s the problem?” He turned in his seat, leaning back onto the bar as he took the man in, and the small group that lingered behind him. The sight had him laughing before he could think better of it. “Aw, and he even brought his emotional support friends!” he joked, nudging his brother before he paused, sighed, and added, “

    The time flew by inside the pub, with drinks and music and endless rounds of pool to help the Castelli brothers pass the time. And once they started, once they stepped back into their dangerous little routine that had the drinks pouring and their minds racing, they couldn’t stop. They drank more, played more, and cared even less about the consequences than they had before.Blaze didn’t bother to track his drinks and dropped his brother’s tally too, trading in his old worries for new ones. He lost himself somewhere around his third or fourth drink when he got louder, sloppier, reckless in the way he spoke and carried himself.And maybe he didn’t realize that or maybe he didn’t care, but it only got worse as time went on, and by midnight Blaze would have half the bars attention on him, flicking over every so often to check in or glare when he’d make too much noise.Blaze paid them no mind and kept his attention glued to himself, his brother, and their evening. He completely missed how o

    “Are you sure about this?”Liviana swallowed whatever hesitation remained. “Uh-huh.” She lied - rather poorly, she had to admit.Next to her, in the passenger seat, Violet cocked a brow and asked, “Really? You’re sure?”Her jaw tightened, as did her fingers around the steering wheel. “Mhm,” she hummed, eyes glued to the road ahead of them. She tried to ignore the weight of Violet’s heavy stare, and the way her eyes seemed to burn through her, all thoughtful and knowing at once.It was overwhelming, and it took everything she had not to cave under the pressure. She tried to avoid her eyes, as if that would help.“Really?” Violet repeated the question, utterly unconvinced, even when Liviana nodded and insisted that yes, she was really sure. She wanted to go out. She needed to.Livi was desperate for an escape.For a long second, Violet only stared. She watched her, considered her, played with her words while carefully choosing her own. “Okay, then...” She chewed on the question for a m

    "Livi?"The girl nearly shrieks, settling for a gasp as she pulls her bedroom door shut in a rush. "Dad!" She greets, spinning around to face the man. "Hi!""What are you doing?""Nothing," she says, frowning. "I'm not doing anything. Why do you ask?""You seem... different," he says. "Odd. Are you sure

    The moment Liviana left the restaurant that night, it felt as if she was walking into a world void of air. It was as though all the oxygen had been sucked out of the planet - if not just her lungs - and she couldn't breathe for days afterward. It was all too heavy, and she wasn't sure she could hand

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter Ninety One

    It was as if the moment the words left her mouth, the world around them changed. Life was different. Liviana couldn't explain how, as it was a mere feeling- a pang in her heart every so often as she becomes painfully aware of her situation.The realization hit like a truck when the thought first cros

    The argument lasted no more than five minutes as the moment Blaze and Liviana had finally caught Drusilla and cornered her, ready to confront her, they were quickly interrupted- ending the confrontation almost as quickly as it began."Mom?" Liviana calls, peeking around the corner into their living r
