"Bellissima!" (Beautiful!)
"Bella!" (Lovely!)
Christine is moving in circles around me, watching me with calculated eyes, every once in a while she would say something in Italian making me stare at her in confusion.
Only if I had learned some real Italian words instead of bad words. I say to myself.
"Superba!" (Suberb!) she says again in a loud voice making me jump.
She has been readying me for the past 2 hours. I haven't seen the mirror till now, I'm kind of nervous about how I look and Christine saying words out of no where isn't helping either.
"Done" she finally announced making me sigh in relief. I glance at

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"~UNKNOWN"So he can introduce them to there Queen..."I stare at Antonio's calm face giving him a somewhat confused look, before I could speak out my confusion he beat me to it."You Valentina are our queen. Alessandro is the mafia King, all these people you see under this roof are his people. They do whatever he orders them to do." He says with a polite smile.He leans in towards me as if wanting to tell a secret that no one should hear. Instinctly I too lean in getting closer to hear what he had to say."They can even kill without a second thought as long as it is an order given by their king" he whispered dangerously with an evil smirk.I moved away from him and couldn't help the dirty look that I throwed at him.Was he trying to t

He asks getting back to his usual cheery voice, I nod standing up.I follow behind him out of the entertainment room but not before glancing at the picture one last time.Angelo and I walk together to the hall, my mind still on the beautiful eyes "do you know where Alessandro is?" I ask Angelo tilting my head up to look at him."Maybe in the werehouse" he shrugs. I stop in midwa

I listen to her intently while my eyes are fixed on her lips to notice how they move."Aspetterò" I repeat confidently making sure to keep my accent in check "bravo" she nods in approval with a white smile.She's really a mature teacher for her age, she waits patiently for me to understand, she doesn't get irritated even if I ask her the same question a number of times.Right now I have resumed my Italian classes with her and this time these sessions would strictly be based on learning the right words.That's what Alessandro said but I'm the one learning and going in the right direction has never been my route.

"Dying to know. Afraid to find out."~Unknown"Lunch time" Christine calls from the bedroom door. I quickly crumble the note in my fist and hide it behind my back giving her a small smile.She gives me a confused look as her eyes travel to my hand hidden behind my back, she was about to open her mouth but I stop her "I'm coming" I nod at her.She closes her lips, she nods back but I could see her eyes switching from my hand to my face."Ok" with that she walks out closing the door behind her, I close my eyes with a small sigh.Be careful now Tina! My subconscious says to me.If I need to get to the bottom of this I need to be careful, I can't trust anyone right now.I hide the note and rose in my closet before joining everyone in the dining room.S

I was always prepared ahead for this month back home but since I arrived here I haven't checked the date in a long time.I didn't got to know sooner because it also doesn't snowfall here. Christine told me that the northern side of Italy is where it snows while the southern side where we reside is moderate during winter.I was also surprised to find out that it's been 2 whole months si

I couldn't help but think as soon as I registered his words.I try to relax my body while regulating my breathe, I can't panic. I have seen enough thriller movies to know that panic doesn't end well for the victim.I feel my captors gloved hand tightening around my mouth, I take in slow long breathes through my nose.As if being held by a stranger wasn't enough, I see my vision turn dark making me realize

"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 Agreement 62. Surprise
"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!
The Agreement 61. Waves
"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

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.

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

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
