“So, a bucket list?”

“Of sorts.” Liviana says, voice coming out in a mumble as she props herself up against her headboard, arching her back to fit a pillow between. “That’s what they called it, but I’m not actually sure if it is one. It seems kind of... Unconventional, I suppose.”

“Why is it unconventional?” Tino asks, a furrowed brow as he watches Liviana’s eyes drift around her room in thought, head tilting back to look at the ceiling.

“I’m not sure. It just feels a little strange.” She says, taking a breath as she turns back down to the screen, eyes flitting from her brother’s face and the blank piece of paper in front of her. “I’m lost here. I have no idea what to write. What does one put into a bucket list?”

“skydiving. Swimming with dolphins. Meeting their idol.” Tino shrugs. “Something adventurous, fun. A once in a lifetime opportunity.”

“I’ve missed out on twenty-four years’ worth of life, Tino. Anything could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.”

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty One

    Walking into the Castelli manor - her so called second home - felt like walking into a room where you knew everyone was just talking about you, whispers being passed as they entered before, suddenly, everyone was going so hush you could hear a pin drop. It was nauseating, and by then, Liviana wasn't sure what was worse - the silence or the whispers.Still, she forces a smile through the tension she feels absorbing from the air into her soul, morphing into something sickening and making her stomach churn, and she gives her husband's hand a squeeze, seeking some kind of comfort, some show of support that would keep her from turning and running away right then and there.Luckily, he takes the hint and turns to her with a hushed whisper of his own. "It's alright. I'm here." He assures her that he wasn't going anywhere. He was here to keep her safe, support her, fight for her - for their life together - and no one here was going to stop him. Not his parents, his sisters - not a soul in the

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty

    Blaze Castelli was a persuasive man. It was the word on the street, another stroke in that not-so-pretty reputation people painted for him. "He's so charming. He's a monster. He's irresistible. He's the devil."And although she listened, although she heard them, she wasn't sure she believed them. Bot until now. Didn't know how true the rumors were until she met him, until she married him, and now she knew it better than anyone else ever has as she sat quietly, staring at the man's back through the car window and marveling at the sight before her, wondering, how the hell he got her here.How the hell was he so convincing? So charming? So God damn persuasive that she couldn't dare to say no to him?And how on earth did she get herself out of this situation he talked her into?She wasn't sure. She wasn't given a chance to think about it because before she could so much as think of a way out of it - the door is pulled open and Blaze wanders inside. And Liviana knew it was only a matter o

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine

    The two didn't know what to do with themselves, left to rot in a pile of rubble from their broken dreams with just one single question in mind. How the hell did they get here? It was all they could think about, retracing every step of their lives as they tried to find where they went wrong. What did they do to deserve this? Where exactly had they taken that wrong turn that ultimately seemed to be leading to their demise? And the most pressing thought of all; was there any coming back from this? Was there still a possibility for them to turn this around? Did they even stand a chance? It's what she asks the man, whose lips tug into a frown at the sight of her- lost, hopeless, and completely and utterly exhausted. He was sure that he looked no better himself, but the shade of blue she wore, gutted and beaten down by the world - worse than that, by his own family - broke his heart. He couldn't stand it. He couldn't bear the look in her eyes, those emeralds that had him pushing out of h

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight

    Liviana is hit with a spell of déjà vu the moment she ventures through that office door and settles back down in that chair, across from her husband, beside her sister-in-law, stuck in hell all over again, it seems. But really, what else was new? At this point, she was beginning to think that, after birth, after leaving the hospital, she had gotten lost on her way home and entered some alternate dimension where she was stuck in an eternal hell - stuck in this chair living some never-ending nightmare. She hated it. Hated this. And she wasn't sure how much more of it she could take in one day. She was just so exhausted- completely, totally, utterly exhausted, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't take another second of it, and for what felt like the hundredth time that day, Liviana can feel the moment that elastic band inside of her finally snaps, and she knew it right then and there - there would be no repairing it this time around. Liviana was done.Her eyes dart between

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seven

    "Leo-""No, I don't want to hear it!" The woman in question shouts, forcing her way out of Luka's arms and charging forward to point a finger in her brother's face. "You're a son of a bitch, you know that?"Blaze scoffs, shoving her wrist away. "And you're her daughter. What's your point?"Leona narrows her eyes, blue eyes so sharp, so vicious he swore that, if looks could kill, he would have dropped dead only to be reborn and die again. Right now, she was so upset, eyes so cold, he could've thought she hated him. Luckily, she doesn't give him the chance, spouting out something relieving among her hurt blubbering of nonsense. "You're a traitor! A coward! And just a straight-up dickhead!" She lists, steam practically shooting out of her ears as she addresses the man, who does nothing more than raise a measly brow as she goes on, and on, and on about how awful he was for what he did. "How could you? Huh? You know she's like an atomic bomb! How could you just throw her at us like that?

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Six

    Liviana and Blaze share a look of pure and utter dread and no sooner is it passed between then, before they could even blink, they find themselves turning on their heels to run, rushing off toward the impending chaos without so much as another spoken word about it - aside from one simple question that they couldn't help but spare in between it all. "Why the hell did she come back?"It wasn't like Amara to return to the scene of her crime - not without a cause, and Blaze had made it clear that she didn't have one here. She couldn't. She already blew her last chance. So why was she back now? What else could she want from them? How much more damage could she do?They weren't sure they wanted to know, but it seems as though, once again, they weren't going to be given any other choice than finding out - and first hand, at that...God, what did they do to deserve this?The question dies on Livi's tongue the moment she see's her. Blaze's sister, yes. But not the one that everyone feared -
