2020-10-12 16:31:00"We ignore truths for temporary happiness."
~Unknown
The sound of gunshots slowly died down while I sobbed sitting on the floor. I felt distraught, confused but most of all scared.
The reality of me being all alone struck me like a thunderous lightning, their was no one who I could call mine or run to crying my heart out.
Alessandro was someone I thought was mine forever but after this encounter I am doubting it.
For the first time I can't keep strong, for the first time since I came here I am unable to keep the promise that I made to myself on my wedding day. I promised myself that I will be strong.
I was always strong from the beginning but right now I don't know what to fight for? I don't know what the truth is? I just feel tired and confused.
I wipe my tears harshly by the back

"All my better days are the ones spent with you"~Perry PoetryI have always considered myself as a moon child, but what exactly does a moon child mean?I have never actually referred to any realiable source to look through the exact meaning of that word.I remember hearing the word somewhere and instantly falling in love with it.In my head I came with my own meaning, the meaning of 'moon child' for me is 'someone who loves gazing at the moon for countless hours, someone who feels a deep connection with the moon.'I guess I will never know if the meaning is valid, not until I feel less lazy enough to finally look for the meaning, until then I'll pass by my own meaning.Since my childhood the moon has always been my favourite part of the night. The reason, well I have always chased

I mumble angrily while covering myself with the soft duvet.I returned back to my room few minutes ago, I just changed my dress discarding it on the floor not bothering to pick it up. I cleaned my face free of makeup and made a beeline to my only true companion.My bed.My anger has subsided down a bit making the sleep kick in, I keep mumbling while huffing and puffing in between.Soon I feel my eyes getting droopy, I slip in half sleep when I sense the bed dip from the other side.

My hands clasped my head in a strong grip trying to surpass this feeling."Valentina" I hear a distant voice call me but I am to concentrated to shut down the questions that are screaming in my mind."Valentina!" The voice sounds panicked now, I feel a pair of soft hands reaching for my own and pulling them away from my head.The soft hands then grab my shoulder and give me a small jerk, "w-what?" I say in a slight daze before adjusting my gaze on the intruding person."Christine!" Her name comes out in shock much to my dismay "you ok?" She asks cupping my cheek. H

I gasped unable to form any words as my hand covered my mouth."Alessandro needs to know this" I mutter to myself clutching my forehead with my shaking head, my mind was in a frenzy.I was unable to decide whether to confront Christine or to inform Alessandro first as soon as possible. My mind was unable to grasp the truth, it was her all along."Yes Capo needs to know" Christine's equally stunned voice cuts through my mutterings.

"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..

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.

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.

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
