~Seeker
My head throbbed with an intense pain, I felt as if everything was uncontrollably spiriling around me same as my life was.
I stumbled towards the bed and sat at it's edge. 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 can live with a tragedy, not with a lie." ~Saru"V-Valentina" Christine gasped dropping the inky rose on the floor."I thought— medicine and ros– Oh my god!" 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. My head instantly jerked up towards her direction.She is looking at the floor while shaking her head "need to tell capo" she mutters in a

A second later I feel two pairs of strong hands holding me up from the ground still I don't raise my head.Maybe it was due to the guilt or the shock of Alessandro wanting to kill me before or maybe his fear.Or all three.

"Tears dry, but the pain drowns."~Perry Poetry1 week later..I was laying down on my bed with a small smile on my face, my fingers playing with the dark locks of my husband whose half body was resting on top of mine.I glanced down at his naked upper body, his head was resting above my breasts using them as a pillow. The sight made me blush furiously.My fingers tangled and untangled between his soft locks. He was in deep slumber as I continued peering at him like a creep but I didn't care.It was rare to see a calm Alessandro, even during his sleep he used to have this attentive aura around him, a slight movement from me and he was up.But these past couple of days he's been sleeping soundly as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulder.

No one and I mean it, that no one messes with my business, my mafia.I may show no feelings and may seem detached from the world but my business is everything to me, that includes my warehouses, my deals, my man and my secrets."I nostri uomini sono stati veloci per fermare il nemico, n

"Chaos is a friend of mine"~BOB DYLANAlessandro is changing.I haven't decided whether it's a good or bad one but there is definitely a change. I can see it, everyone is seeing it. Especially after the episode that went between us in his study.I was not angry at him, maybe a little disappointed but not angry. There is no doubt that he walked me to my death but there is also no denying that he saved me. As I always say I am a rational thinker. I never take decisions based on quick emotions.I have a habit to ponder over everything before coming to a decision. Like the day I decided to marry Alessandro, it was not a decision made in rush.No, I thought about every possible aspect of the situation, if there was a way to get my family out of it alive. When I concluded that

"I'm trying my best"~UNKNOWNDarkness.That is the first thing my mind registered, I try moving my eyes but feel a weight on them that was stopping them. I try to focus on my surroundings, I realise that my closed eyes are the reason behind the darkness.I try to open them now, my eyeballs move beneath my shut eye lids. Slowly my eyes flutter open, I open them cautiously in fear of burning them by some sudden light.My heavy eyes finally open up, instead of light I find myself surrounded by darkness, again. I blink a couple of times and tilt my head to my side.A soft dim light was lit in the room, it was lit enough to manevour your way around the room. I study around me. I was in my room laying on the soft bed.The left side of me face felt heavy, curiously I lift up my left hand

This girl was so innocent, beautiful and most of all she knew how to handle her son.Alessandro was always a troublemaker but his tendencies never led to someone being hurt. Gloria was shocked when she found out about her son's behaviour towards his wife, although Christine did assure her that

"I still taste the past"~UNKNOWNThe past few days have been.. I don't know how to put it. A lot of emotions have been shared between me and Alessandro.After he acted like a possessive brute it was clear that shifting to another room was out of the picture but that didn't keep me from maintaining a distance between us.But who am I kidding, this is my husband we are talking about. He knows how to pave his way through my walls.I was surprised.The amount of patience he showed when I blatantly ignored him or sometimes mildly disrespected him infront of his men. I had this small flame inside me that wasn't ready to burn off not until I make him feel even a quarter of my previous pain.Well it wasn't successful, I couldn't continue ignoring him.I was weak.

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
The Agreement 63. Mrs. Romano
"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.
The Agreement 60. Prove yourself
"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

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.

"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
The Agreement 56. New Start
"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
