Nazlynn’s POVI woke up with a light buzz in my head, courtesy of the two or three glasses of champagne I had the night before. “Maria?” I called out the moment my feet touched the cool tiles on the floor.I was about to call out for her again when I heard her little footsteps approaching my room. “My apologies Signora, you called for me.”“Oh no, that's alright, could you run me a hot bath and then get me a glass of lemon juice. Thank you,” I said with a small smile. I sighed deeply, placing my hand on my temples.“Are you alright, Signora? Would you like me to get painkillers for the headache?” She asked with concern etched on her face.I politely declined and she entered the bathroom to get the bath running. I took a well needed soak, only coming out of the bathtub when the water started getting cold. Luca hadn't responded to my question last night and now, without sleepy eyes and with a clear head, I didn't know how to ask him again.The glass of lemon juice was waiting for me b

A day had passed since I learnt about Luca's mother's death anniversary from the twins and from what they said, the next day was the day she died. Luca and I had crossed paths twice from the time of the call. And every time we did, I resisted the urge to reach out and hold his hand in mine, instead, I murmured a greeting to which he grunted in response.His hooded eyes seemed to be calling out to me. I didn't know what to make of how I was feeling towards him and so I just wrote it off as empathy. I noticed the atmosphere in the house change that evening. The staff walked with stiff backs, like they were afraid of even breathing any louder than they should.If the twins had not already told me what was going on, I would have had to force Gabriel to tell me. Speaking of Gabriel, he had come to give me some sort of warning that afternoon.“The boss is not really in the best place this period, it would be in the best interest of you both if you just let him be for now. He'll come aroun

“You killed your mother?” I asked, struggling to mask the judgment in my voice.In a split second, Luca's lips set into a thin line and his face hardened. “Get out! Now,” he roared, his hands shaking from anger. I scrambled out of the gym as quickly as my feet could take me, hearing a loud bang as his fist made contact with whatever was nearest to him. Just as I was hurrying back to my room, I missed my step and tripped. Closing my eyes, I waited for the impact but it never came.“What do you think you're doing upsetting him today of all days?” Gabriel said, steadying me on my feet.“I…”“Come with me, so you don't get yourself hurt,” he said, guiding me down the stairs and to the living room. My lips were sealed shut and my mind was in a spiral. He killed his mother so why is he mourning? Or is it guilt? The thoughts were making my head ache.Exhaling loudly, I fell back on the couch with a plop.Gabriel was sitting on a stool beside the couch. He sighed.“Nazlynn, you shouldn't h

My phone rang loudly, causing him to draw back and scoot away from me.Enzo’s name flashed brightly on the screen as I silenced the call. “I'll call him back later,” I stated even though Luca hadn't asked me. “No, you can take the call. It's your brother,” he said, not looking at me. The call ended and my screen went blank again. The man before me was not the same man that forcefully brought me to his house a month ago, he was also not the man that led a whole mafia. The man before me was a son who had lost his mother and was still grieving her death.“Do you know that when people die, you can sometimes summon their spirit in their favorite places?” I asked him, breaking the silence that had fallen between us. My aunt had said that to me after my mother died.Lucas' gaze traveled back to me and he looked at me skeptically. “How?” I stood up, stretching my hand out to him. Luca glanced from my face to my hand and back. I gave him an encouraging nod and he sighed before standing up

Jenna, Elena and Sabrina walked in front of Luca with their heads hung low and their tails between their legs until we got back inside the house.“You three, go to your rooms,” Luca said sternly.I stifled my laughter at their long faces as they walked down the hallway and up the stairs.“You should go back home, get Maria to prepare something for you. I'll come soon,” Luca said when they had left.I drew my eyes to the floor, suddenly feeling very self conscious with his gaze completely on me. Nodding, I pursed my lips, thinking of how to ask him about Gabriel.“Actually, I have no way of coming back here. Gabriel was the one who brought me and he left so he could drop the car at the house before….” I trailed off with a frown etched on my face. “Home,” Luca corrected.My eyes widened, “what?”“You said ‘the house’, it's your home Nazlynn,” he said, looking anywhere but me.I nodded slowly, right, home.“Can Gabriel come back please?” I finally blurted out the question I wanted to a

I was extra cheery for the rest of the week as I started making plans towards leaving this place once and for all. Luca hadn't called again since the day he said he was going to, and I didn't call either. I mean, I had no reason to.I considered calling Gabriel, but I quickly brushed the thought off. If there were two people I believed knew the ins and outs of this mansion, it was Maria and Gabriel.But calling Gabriel was out of it. He may no longer be working for Luca, but I didn't think his loyalty would have suddenly shifted to me. Since there was no one to help me with my escape plans, I knew I was on my own. But at least now I had a loaded gun with me. The presence of the gun seemed to be weighing down my vanity mirror.I had put it in the bottom drawer and locked it so Maria couldn't stumble upon it when cleaning.“Maria, how long have you been working here?” I asked her randomly when I was in the living room. I was eating fruits from the bowl on the stool beside me. “I’ve w

“What the fuck is this, Nazlynn?” he asked again, holding his hand out. There was a gun held between his thumb and index finger. The very gun that I had forgotten to lock back in. My head snapped to the drawer where I had kept it, half hoping that it would still be closed and that this gun was not the same with the one I kept there. The drawer was pulled all the way out, and was very much open.“Don't make me ask again,” Luca said, turning my attention back to him. “It's…it's a gun,” I replied, failing to stop the tremble in my voice.“I know it's a fucking gun, I can see that. I'm asking why it's here. Why did I find a gun in your room, in your drawer?” he said angrily.I scooted back on the bed warily. I was unsure of what the Luca in this state could do to me.“I stumbled upon it and thought I should have one, for protection's sake,” I lied through my teeth. Something dangerous flashed beneath Luca's eyes, making me shiver. I scooted backwards again, drawing my legs closer to my

Three weeks laterI put on my latest pair of spandex shorts and a matching sports bra, placing my headphones over my head.An Asian pop song was blasting into my ears as I walked to the gym. Over the last few weeks, I had started going to the indoor gym more than I ever thought I would. The Nazlynn of four months ago would be so proud of me right now.I go to the gym four times a week, and I always go when Luca has left the house. It's not like I was trying to lose weight or anything since I had a crazy fast metabolism. I just started to enjoy the feeling I get after working out. I almost bumped into someone on my way to the gym, but the figure straightened me back in place. I gasped softly as my eyes landed on his face. “Gabriel! What are you doing here?” I asked excitedly, pulling my headphones to sit on my neck. I had to admit, the past few weeks had been strange without him around. I guess I had started to see him as a friend, although I don't think he saw me as his.“It's lov
