Follow your soul, it knows the way.

Two days.
Two days since Alessandro left me in this dark place, two days since I have seen light, two days since I've seen any human, Two days since I've eaten anything.
And two days since I have decided to make Alessandro's every living moment hell.
What? You thought I would sit here cry and plead and when he comes I would turn into the perfect wife.
No! Never! With the things I faced I'm more then tempted to break the rules.
The two days in this confined dark space gave me alot of time to think.
I thought about all the things that happened 2 days ago, about how just because of opening the curtains Alessandro turned into a beast.
I realized Alessandro is not normal, no normal human being would act that way. I should've guessed it the moment I gazed in his eyes on our wedding day.
They were void of any emotion any feeling.
Anger is what I definitely felt on the first
If it doesn't burn a little then what's the point of playing with fire?~ BridgettDevoueThird person P.O.VThe maids were busy cleaning around the mansion, they were spread across all the floors according to there duties.They were allowed on all floors except theCapo'sfloor, only Christine was allowed there.One of the maids Sara was dusting the stairs, she was near theCapo'sfloor but would not dare to step a foot there. She would complete her work and turn around.She was humming a song to herself concentrated in her work when a sudden smell hit her nostrils.She paused her work and sniffed the air, the smell hit her again with some smoke entering her nostrils as well, this time she coughed after sniffing.It smelt like something was burning she glanced down the stairs to see if someone burned something in the kitchen, but everyo
Just be with me. We'll figure out the details later.~Perry PoetryFor rest of the day I was left all alone in my room not even Christine came in to ask for food.I was standing by the window gazing at the stars. The nights here in Italy are a little chilly compared to the warm days.But nevertheless everything about here is beautiful and refreshing.The sky is full of stars, I found myself gazing at them for the past hour and thinking about all the thinks most of all my husband.No matter how bad experience we have had with each other in the past I feel myself attracted towards him.I can't say I like him yet but he has turned tolerable for me, I don't see myself getting angry at him.I know he killed people, slapped me and locked me in a
Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul.~ UnknownAlessandro's P.O.VBANG! BANG! BANG!I emptied my gun in the fuckers chest, I got information he was a rat in my family and I hate rats."Bravissimo ragazzo mio" (Very good my boy) Antonio came from behind and clapped his hands slowly. I just stood there staring at the now dead men with a cold expression on my face."Dobbiamo parlare" (We need to talk) Antonio whispered lowly in my ear and I knew it was important, I nodded and we both made our way to the rusty stairs.We went up and towards my office. One of the maids was standing outside with a handkerchief in her hand, I took it from her and dismissed her with a flick of my
Pleasure and pain, it's all the same~ K.A.My eyes were fixed on the kitchen's entrance after a minute surely my husband came in with the same fury in his eyes like the previous day.But this time there was a hint of sleepiness in his them. "Vale.." he stopped midway when his eyes took in everything.Everyone was staring at him with curiousity, I found there expressions cute and couldn't hold back my chuckle.Alessandro came out of his daze and stared at me "Che cosa sta succedendo qui?" (what is going on here?) He said something."Signora ci ha preparato la colazione stamattina" (Ma'am prepared breakfast for us this morning) Christine replied softly her scrambled eggs long forgotten.He took in the contents on the table and then stared at me with furrowed eye
"It's the connection we can't explain."~UnknownI crossed the kitchen gracefully, went to the stairs and climbed them with confidence but when I was out of everyone's site I ran like a headless chicken to my room.I reached there and slammed the door shut and leaned my back to it, my right hand placed on my heart.It was beating wildly like it would rip out of my chest any moment.The 'me' down there confident, calm and all that was a facade.In truth I was so scared I thought I would pee my pants.The moment Alessandro started choking I didn't thought it would effect him so much but I should've thought carefully.Ofcourse he had to react that way I added 4 full spoons of salt in his batter and then the coffee on top.When everyone glared at me I thought no was is going to let m
"The kiss was full of all the words I didn't need to say."~Unknown."I need your money." I blurted out.The translator translated my words and soon I was met with very confused eyes.It was too late to realize that how wrong my words sounded, he must think of me as a gold digger."No! Not like want your money for my shopping but more like want your money for the furniture and groceries." I quickly cleared the meaning behind my words saying the sentence in one breathe.His eyes widened a little but he controlled his expressions like usual, he was clearly surprised by my words."So are you going to give it orrr not?" I trailed out.He stared out of the window for a moment and then went to our walk in closet without saying a word."Seems like not." I answered to myself and decided to go downstairs I need to prepare lunch for everyone.I was about to exit our room when a big hand caught my right hand and stopped me on my
"From the first moment that we touched, your arms felt like home."~ John Mark GreenI made my way to the kitchen where Christine and three maids were waiting for me.An hour went by with us cooking, laughing and getting to know each other.The other maids Lisa, Hannah and Sara were very sweet, we got along well, thanks to Maria for translating our words.Sara was the unfortunate maid who saw me burning the curtains that day and gathered everyone.Maria mimicked how she ran in the hallway like a headless chicken and how she had to stop her. Me and the other girls had stomach ache because of laughing so hard and Sophie was blushing from embarrassment.I made a variety of different dishes, then laid them on the dining table with the help of my new friends.Yes friend
"Beaware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful." ~MARY SHELLY"I'm going to the garden." I informed Christine and made my way to the lovely garden to which I'm paying extra attention these past days.I stood in front of the red roses that I asked for. I've started to decorate the mansion and as well as maintain the garden, so far everything is going good.I've ordered decorations, paintings and new furniture online and with the help of the guards arranged them.You could say the house looks complete now. Even Alessandro seemed happy about it but he didn't share his opinions.Alessandro. A smile found its way on my lips at his name. Four days ago we talked without arguments and I slept in his arms.From that night forward everyday he joins us for dinner and then we retire to our room wh
"With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come"~ William Shakespeare10 years later..Alessandro's POV:"We've come so far haven't we?" Antonio says with a small satisfied smile as he closes the file I had signed seconds ago."Indeed we have uncle" I agree nodding my head slightly, "the business is flourishing, you are the first one in our generation to bring this family to where it stands today" he boosts proudly about my accomplishments.I was well aware of how much he loved to talk about how our mafioso is one of the most feared one in the world, I didn't stop him either knowing that there were only very few thin
"After all, soulmates always end up together."~Unknown"Aida.""Hmm?" I tilt my head upwards to have a better view of Alessandro, he was deep in thoughts while stroking my hairs. "I want to name our daughter Aida." he says placing his hand on my protruding stomach."It means happiness." He kisses my forehead, explaining further.I chuckle at his words, "that is a beautiful name but how are you so sure that it's going to be a girl? What if it's a boy?" I ask curiously as I place my hand above his.This was pure bliss.Him, me and our baby. No problems, no lies, no past.. Just us, our world."If it is a boy, then we will make another one so it would be a girl" he says with a big smile as if he has it all figured out, I laugh heartedly "that's not how it works, what if the
"The best time for new beginnings is now"~ UnknownWhat is up with this man?I couldn't help but question myself as I hold out the beautiful dress infront of me. I inspect the delicate patterns that have managed to catch my breathe, I was baffled when I laid my eyes on this dress for the first time just few moments ago.After our late lunch Alessandro demanded for me to go back to our room, as quoted by him 'I have a surprise for you upstairs.' I was actually nervous about this 'surprise'.Since I have entered Alessandro's life, the surprises I have received from him— let's say they haven't been too pleasent. I couldn't help but think that maybe there was a long lost sibling of Alessandro's that has been found and is waiting for me in the room to be introduced.Just kidding!
"Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction"~UnknownIt has been half and hour since the whole ordeal that had transpired between us, I was sitting on one of the comfy sofa.My mind was reeling with different thoughts, but the most prominent of them was the concern for my parents, I need to ask Alessandro about how long is he going to keep me here and find a way to contact my parents.I glance at the window, my eyes settle on a figure sitting comfortable on the sand near the sea shore, the waves come clashing together but die down just as they near him. Looks like the sea is scared of him as well. I paddle upstairs towards the bedroom in search of some suitable clothes to change into, I find a wooden chester at one corner, I pull open the first drawer and surprisingly enough I find my clothes in them.
"I know my worth, I've paid dearly for every ounce of it"~ Alfa"Oh my!" I let out a breathless whisper as my eyes rake over his sturdy chest, why does he look like a fine ass meal? And why am I so hungry all of a sudden!?I clench my hands beside me as my fingers itch to trace those fine lines accunturating each peck. This man was a walking god and he knew it.I hear someone clearing there throat which quickly pulls me out of my incoming lusty thoughts, I gaze at Alessandro and find a cocky smirk etched on his stupidly handsome face.I missed this man so much! My subconscious sighs dreamily. Me too girl me too. I agree with her."Enjoying the view?" Alessandro asks in his deep voice while striding towards me, I melt at his accent but quickly compose myself "yes, the sea makes it
"We've got to live, no matter how many skies are fallen"~D. H. Lawrence"Tina was always the ugly sibling, look at this, her running nose in this picture" Everett cackles pointing at one of my pictures in which embarrassingly enough I do have a running nose."No! I was the cute one. You resembled like a grumpy grandpa when you were born. Dad tell him" I look at dad giving him a 'please take my side' look.He looks at me nervously then back at Everett, I follow my gaze only to see Everett making the same face. Dad clears his throat "none of you were ugly or resembled like a grumpy grandpa, be-" both Everett and I groan "–cause both were beautiful children all thanks to me your handsome father's genes" he points at himself proudly.Mom scoffs rolling her eyes, we all chuckle at dad's expanses. We were currentl
"Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks"~UnknownNothing could compare to the feeling of one's head resting on their mother's lap.Mother. A creation God created knowing fully well that the world would have been doomed without these amazing women's.I find myself thinking sometimes, how is it possible?How does the air around us suddenly calms down when we have our mother near us.How does a simple hug lifts off one's burdens from their shoulder without even uttering a word to her.How does she know when we need her soothing words or when we just need her silence with her magical touch.Guess I will have to wait to find that out myself.After months of working my brain so hard I could finally feel it relax itself by mom's
"You were a risk, a mystery, and the most certain thing I'd ever know"~Beau Taplin, "A certainty"Alessandro's POV"Tutto è coperto." (Everything's covered.) Antonio informs taking away the file from me that I had just signed. I give him a nod, he knew I was grateful. I needed this break.I go over a few more things with him before heading towards the mansion, I couldn't go there directly when I arrived, I first had to get some work settled in the warehouse but now it's all taken care of.I have given away my responsibility to Antonio for some weeks, I need some time away from work so I can spend time with Valentina and maybe also convince her to marry me.I know she's stubborn a
"So I close my eyes to old ends, and open my heart to new beginnings"~UnknownBang!Bang!Bang!Several loud gunshots resonates through the air around me at the same time, and then silence.My ears buzz from the loud sounds, my eyesight gets blurry. Everything around me seems to fade away, I feel a hand gripping my hairs and tugging them harshly, my back hits a hard chest earning a surprised scream from me.I gasp out a breathe, blinking my eyes furiously, my hairs are tugged again and instinctively my hands shot up towards my head to pull away the prying hand."Leave her!" A dark voice commands through the silent air, I push my hands on my ears and put pressure on them in an attempt to
