But, who prays for Satan? Who, in all these centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

-Mark Twain.

"For what do I owe this visit, officer?" Lorenzo asked in a surprisingly calm voice as if he does not already know that they are here for him.

Three officers stands in front with blank expressions as they look at Lorenzo. I recognise one of those officers from the day when he arrested me along with all the girls but other than him other two are new faces.

"We recieved a complaint against you, Mr. Russo." The head of the two officers spoke in a clear yet stern voice.

I rubbed both of my palms against the fabric of my skirt when they start getting sweaty.

I have no idea what exactly is going on but one thing is I am concerned for Lorenzo. I have seen what does they do and I know what kind of trouble they can get into if anyone finds out, specially these officers.

But, I don't want that. D

    If you crush a cockroach, you are a hero. If you crush a beautiful butterfly, you are a villain. Morals have aesthetic criteria." -Nietzsche.|L O R E N Z O|The officers found nothing, as expected.Yesterday, when the officers barged into my mansion with official permission to search my house, I was pissed. I do not like watching people, specially people involved with law, interfering with my work. But I could not have lost my calm and have them something to feed on. So, I kept my calm and handled the situation with a charming smile instead of acting on my inner thoughts, that said to either kick their ass out of my goddamn mansion or tie them down in my basement. Then, there was Iris, standing in the corner of the mansion with sweaty palms, rubbing them over and over against the fabric of her skirt with panicked expressions like she is the criminal one here. So, when Rowan guided the officers inside the mansion, I had to stay back f

    I do not desire mediocre love, I want to drown in someone. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|"You know, I always liked you." Bianca admitted and I did not bothered to say anything on this topic so taking my silence as her answer she continued, "It was hard for me to see you with someone else-" I cut her off, immediately. "Iris." I spoke and she raised a confused brow at me, "Her name is Iris." I explained and she nodded, pressing her lips in a thin line. "Yeah, it was hard to see you with Iris, doing everything I imagined to do with you." She explained and I can not seem to figure out where exactly is any of my fault or why am I being told this? "And, your point is, Bianca?" I questioned cutting straight to the chase. "That whatever I did was stupid and reckless." Bianca admitted her fault with a look of embarrassment. "And, I am sorry for that." She apologized. "Okay." Is what I tell her and her eyes widened in surprise at my words as if I

    Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we have not loved enough. - Elif Shafak. |I R I S|"So, you are already making friends." I say on the phone. "What can I say? People are always flattered by me." Aleeza answered from the other side of the phone a smile tugged at my lips at her self-obsession. It's been more than one week of Aleeza's college life and safe to say she is enjoying every bit of it. I have never heard Aleeza sound so happy and satisfied. Maybe freedom from this world is what she craved all the time. "Is Enzo at home? I couldn't reach him through phone earlier." Aleeza spoke. "No, he is out for some work." I tell her, honestly. Since the day of search by police officers he has been running here and there to find the people behind all these chaos but the boys failed.

Mason and Rowan were with me the whole day. While, Lucas stayed home to help Shawn with the technical stuff. I can not wait to find out whatever they have found out regarding the recent situation in our hands. Moreover, it's been an exhausting day and I missed, Iris, terribly. I can not wait to hold her and kiss her. Lucas and Shawn were seated in the hall with their eyes still focused on the laptop, just like I left them in the morning. "Found anything?" I asked walk I walking to them and taking a vacant seat beside Shawn. Shawn and Lucas looked at each other before meeting their eyes with mine. The look on their face was enough to convey that there is something wrong. "We have a bad news." Lucas started, pressing his lips into a thin line, t

"Then tell me. What are you waiting for?" I said on the phone in urgency while people around me gave me weird and concerned glances over my impatient state. "What's the hurry, Enzo?" Mark responded annoying me and pushing me to the point where I would have no other option left other than threatening him with his dear life because there is nothing much he is afraid of loosing. "Do. Not. Test. Me. Mark." I gritted through clenched teeth putting pressure on each and every word that escaped my mouth.And the next sound that reached my ears from the other side of the phone was of laughing like a maniac.

    What a shame that the girl who once believed in fairytales and magic had to be struck by reality with demons in her mind and the fear of never being loved. -k.f. |I R I S|Coincidentally, the phone call that was made to complain against the boys was made from the same supermarket, I and Rowan went to. This is going much longer than any of them expected. The house stays more silent and working with boys finding the rat. Because they think there is one. Though, I do not know much about it. I have a few pieces of information from here and there and it is impossible to solve the puzzle with these little pieces. So, I try not to make it more complicated than it already is. And, to keep my mind at ease in the deadly silent mansion that somehow creeps me out with no sound in the absence of boys, I started to play chess. Sometimes, Lorenzo plays with me when he is not working mostly I play with myself. Chess is a game of mind and winning

Clutching the towel tighter to my chest with both hands I backed away, slowly and carefully. The terror slowly seeping inside my veins as his smirk grew with his each step towards me. My heart races in my chest and goosebumps erupted on my body. "Come here, baby." His dark sinister voice causing a menacing feeling in me. I did not even realised when tears started building in my eyes, blurring my vision but I did not stopped. Not only I kept stepping away from him, wanting to keep distance between us but I even started throwing things at him from everywhere in my room.

    But if I sit in the rain maybe I can drown in something other than my own thoughts. -J. w. |L O R E N Z O|"Does that mean we are close?" Rowan asks Mark who explained the call details to us."Where did you get that from?" Mark give him a bizzare look as if he is different to think like that. Well, he is different like that. "The voice on the call obviously belongs to a woman, plus the call was made from the super market. All we have to do is get their phone records from that day to find out about her." Rowan summed up his thoughts shortly, showing off his intelligence. "It is not obvious that the call was made by a woman." Mark says and we frown at him because when we heard the call recording it was obviously high pitched enough to be considered of a woman. "What are you talking about? Which man speaks like that?" Rowan gives a look of disbelief to Mark. "The one who does not want to be caught." Mark comments and his words register

    What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that

    An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s

    Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu

The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.

    A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h

That stupid human being threw a bucket of cold water on me. It not only ruined my precious sleep but also ruined my sheets as well. And, now he is sitting at floor in my room while the servant changes the sheet. I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth when all I wanted to do was sleep. "Hurry up, lazy lad." He yelled out from outside growing impatient after ruining my morning. With brush in my mouth I could not properly speak so I just rolled my eyes and went ahead to spit out the content in my mouth. I splattered cold water on my face and my eyes did not felt as heavy as before anymore. I am going to kill Rowan. Was my first thought since my brain

    I can not tell you how piercingly and endlessly I think about you. -Virginia Wolf. |I R I S|A new day, a new morning, a new start and a new beginning. I woke up after a long night that provided me with the enough rest I needed for today. Stretching my arms, I let out a lazy yawn and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm. When my eyes opened properly, I looked around in the room I was sleeping in. The same room, I used before. Everything seems exactly the same, just a few changes here and there. I smiled at the memories that are connected to this room, fondly, before standing up from the bed.I opened the curtains of the room letting the sun rays enter the room to lighten up the dark room. Light reached almost all the corners of the room, filling it with a new yellow and glowing light.

    I just want to be in love with somebody who wants to be in love with me. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I took her petite hands in mine and looked into her eyes with tenderness before I spoke, "I did a lot of horrible things, Iris." I started, speaking with my heart because I do not remember remembering these words when I was preparing for the apology speech that Google helped me write. "I made mistakes. I disappointed you. I hurt you." I confessed all my mistakes, "But, I never meant to." I told her. "I am not trying to justify my actions here. Trust me." I insisted as if my world would crumble down if she would believe otherwise. Her violet orbs stayed focused at me while I spoke, not saying a word or interrupting me, "I.. I want to tell you that everything was wrong. It was so fucking wrong. And, you do not know how fucking sorry I am." My voice shakes when I say this and I control myself from breaking into a crying mess. Because I feel th
