The Agreement 47. Gloria
"I'm trying my best" ~Unknown Darkness. It is the first thing my mind registers, I try to open my eyes but feel an invisible weight over them, it stops me. I try to focus on my surroundings. I try to open them again, my eyeballs move under my closed eyelids. Slowly, I flutter them open, instead of light I find myself surrounded by darkness, again. I blink a couple of times and tilt my head to the side. The side table lamp is on, the light from it is enough to find your way around the room. I study my surroundings, I am in my room, laying on the soft bed. My left cheek feels heavy, I try to lift my hand but stop when I notice something, my eyes observe the cannula inserted in the back of my hand, I follow the tube connected to an IV bag, hanging beside the bed. A sharp pain in my back makes me squirm, followed by a burning sensation in my scalp, my throat feels clogged, everything hurts. I move around a little to get comfortable on the soft bed, the back pain soothes to some degree

"A memory is a star or a stain" ~D.J Third person P.O.V: Gloria was quick to divert the topic as soon as she noticed Valentina's nervous stature, the poor girl is already fear stricken by her son, she does not want to add more to the pile. An hour flowed by between the two of them, with the empty tea cups placed carelessly on the side table, both of them find themselves lost in their own little bubble. Gloria found herself fascinated by the young girl sitting in front of her with every passing minute. This girl is so innocent, beautiful, smart and most important of all, she knows 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 things have turned better for them but that day something switched in him and he acted on his instincts. He thought that Valentina was hurting his mother, he was too quick to j

"I still taste the past" ~Unknown The 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 moving to another room was out of question, that didn't stop me from maintaining a distance between us. But who am I kidding, this is my husband we are talking about. He knows how to break through my walls. I am surprised by the amount of patience he showed when I blatantly ignored him or sometimes mildly disrespected him in front of his men. I had this small fire inside me that wasn't ready to burn off, not until I make him feel even a quarter of the pain I suffered. Well, it wasn't successful, I couldn't continue ignoring him. I am weak. He is trying, I can see it. He is even opening up to me, he is trying not to mask his emotions anymore. I was bewildered when he shared some childhood memories with me. I think it was shocking because for the first time he shared somethi

"But who knows, maybe one day we'll be perfect for each other" ~Unknown Darkness again! How ironic, I've been finding myself in the darkness every other day or was I always in the dark but now it is when I realise it? I hear faint voices around me, they are slow at first but grow loud and clear as I find myself getting more and more aware of my surroundings. I slowly flutter my eyes open, the sudden invading lights around me make me flinch and close them, "Valentina!?" I hear a feminine voice filled with worry. Gloria. "Go call Alessandro" she orders someone, I feel a shadow above my closed eyelids, I pry my eyes open again, surprised to find Gloria's hands looming over my eyes, sheltering them from the light. I take a moment to stare at her palms, I go over the detailed lines on them, each line overlapping the other. I've heard that the lines on our palms tells us about our life. I wonder what my lines say? I hear rapid footsteps. Gloria removes her hand when she is sure that I

"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire" ~Charles Bukowski "We are getting married." "What!?" I shriek, Alessandro puts me down on my feet, he quickly intertwines our hands. "Lo hai fatto indagare?" (Have you had him investigated?) He asks the guards, ignoring my baffled form, one guard steps forward to answer. "Sì Capo" he nods his head. Alessandro doesn't seem satisfied by his answer. What investigation? What is he talking about? I look up at him, asking him through my eyes. He just pulls me closer to his side. "Come here" he commands the priest in his dark voice, the room is surrounded by his dominating aura making everyone feel on edge including me. The priest looks visibly shaken, he takes slow timid steps towards us. "Are you a real priest?" Alessandro asks skeptically, his burning gaze studying the priest's attire, I gape at him shocked. Did he seriously ask that question? That's disrespectful! The priest looks offended, "yes" he answers straightening him

"I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched" ~Edgar Allen Poe "Calm down" Christine's gentle hand keeps rubbing my back as I lay my head on her lap and sob uncontrollably. It's been 15 minutes since she brought me to Gloria's room and I have been crying non-stop. "H-he scared me" I hiccup, burying my face further inside her warm embrace, I need someone to hold me right now. "Trust me child, he didn't mean to." She tries to assure me, massaging my head, my sobs calm down as her magical fingers sooth me like always. We both stay silent for a moment, "sometimes, I forget how young you are, 18, still a child" she murmurs sadly. "I miss my mama" my voice comes out a bit scratchy and dry. "I understand" she says, I sit upright in front of her. "Then send me to her, please" I feel the tears resurfacing. "You were just fine living away from her a day ago, what happened now?" She asks softly. "You know what happened Christine!" I snap unintentiona

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple" ~Unknown Third person P.O.V Somewhere in Italy… "What news do you have Gary?" The boss asks impatiently, Gary straightens up his already rigid posture. He seems well composed this time, compared to the last time he barged inside the bosses office like a headless chicken. "Boss, I am working on the details, what I have gathered is that Capo was already aware of his uncle's intentions. He was playing along with his game until Antonio confessed to everything himself" he informs. The boss nods his head, telling him to continue, "No one knows where Antonio is, the last they saw him was being dragged by the Capo towards his warehouse" Gary visibly gulps, being dragged by the ruthless don towards his warehouse is never good. "Is he alive?" The boss questions unfazed, he isn't scared of the big bad Capo. "I'm still trying to find it out, it's hard to get access of the warehouse. Not many know what actually goes inside that place" he shivers

“Life's a journey, to find the people weird like you" ~Atticus Third person P.O.V Anger. Pure raw indescribable anger is what Alessandro is feeling at the moment. He is sitting at the edge of the bed, the very bed where he had left his beautiful Valentina in the morning, breathless and flustered. His knuckles are bleeding profusely, the reason behind it can be seen around him. He has turned the room upside down, he punched, tore and destroyed anything and everything he could get his hands on. The only thing that was able to calm him down a bit was the duvet in his bloody hands, the white duvet that had her smell, he brought it near his nose and inhaled the lingering sweet scent of his woman, it gave him a sense of clarity. He can vividly remember her heaving chest, her rosy flushed cheeks, the result of the kiss they shared. Her full lips swollen, teasing him to capture them for another heated session and her eyes... Those beautiful hazel eyes, her eyes are his undoing, her alluri

The Agreement 64. Epilogue
"With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come" ~ William Shakespeare 10 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 just signed. "Indeed, we have uncle" I agree, nodding my head slightly. "The business is flourishing, you're the first one in our generation to bring this family to where it stands today" he boosts proudly about my accomplishments. I'm well aware of how much he loves to talk about our mafioso being the most feared one in the world. I didn't stop him either knowing that there are only very few things that make this man genuinely feel happy. "I should get going, this file can't wait any longer and we don't have time to waste, time is money my boy!" He laughs, waving the file between us. He seems quite happy, my guess is that he finally killed the mole we found a few days ago. I remember him being in a foul mood because of the mole refusing to open his mouth. "See you at lunch" h
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's deep in thought while stroking my hair. "I want to name our daughter Aida." he places his hand above my slightly 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 is 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 can be a girl" he gives a big smile as if he has it all figured out. I laugh heartily, "that's not how it works, what if the second one is also a boy?" I ask again, looking at him expectantly for his answer. "Then we'll try for another one, she will definitely be a girl" he grins, seeming satisfied by his words now. I quickly sit up m
The Agreement 62. Promise
"The best time for new beginnings is now"~ UnknownWhat is this man up to?I cannot help but question myself as I hold out the beautiful dress in front of me. I inspect the delicate patterns that have managed to catch my breath, I was left baffled when I laid my eyes on this dress for the first time just a few moments ago.After we had our late lunch, Alessandro demanded that I 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 pleasant. I couldn't help but think that maybe there was a long-lost sibling of Alessandro's, who has been found and is waiting for me in the room to be introduced.Just kidding! Or maybe not...But all of my doubts were proven wrong the minute I entered our room and my gaze landed on the beautiful dress. I was left speechless, Alessandro has never given me anything, not even duri
The Agreement 61. Waves
"Sometimes in the waves of change we find our true direction"~ UnknownIt has been half an hour since the whole ordeal has transpired between us, I am now sitting on one of the comfy sofas. My mind is reeling all thoughts, but the most prominent of them is the concern for my parents, I have to ask Alessandro about how long is he planning to keep me here, and find a way to contact my parents.I still can't believe that he kidnapped me, I want to fight him so badly but I don't have the strength, getting a quick and straight answer from Alessandro is nearly impossible. How did I not see this? The way Alessandro has been possessive for me this was bound to happen. How could I possibly think that he was just going to sit idly and wait for me to contact him myself.I glance at the window, my eyes settle on a figure sitting comfortably on the sand near the sea shore, the waves come clashing forward but die down just as they near him. Looks like the sea is scared of him as well. I go upstairs
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 accentuating each peck. This man was a walking god and he knew it. I hear him clearing his 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?" He asks in his deep voice while striding towards me, I melt at his accent but quickly compose myself. "Yes, the sea makes it more breathtaking but I would like to go home now" I shrug my shoulders looking around the beach house, I deliberately said that even though I knew what he was referring too. He chuckles shaking his head finding amus
The Agreement 59. Maturity
"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 runny 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 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 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 expense. We are currently sitting around the center table in the living room, going over our old pictures. It's been 5 days since I came back, I feel like as if I have been freed but there is still somethi
The Agreement 58. Family
"Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks" ~Unknown Nothing can compare to the feeling of one's head resting on their mother's lap. Mother. A creation God created knowing that the world would have been doomed without these amazing women. 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 lift off one's burdens from their shoulders without even uttering a word to her? How does she know when we need her soothing words or when we just need her silence and her magical touch? Guess I will have to wait to find that out myself. After months of overworking my brain, I can finally feel it relax by mom's soothing caresses on my hair. Being near her brought me a sense of comfort that I was craving for. This incredible woman held me in the doorway until I cried my heart out. After that she walked me towards the living room, I was clinging to her like a koala, she didn
The Agreement 57. Alessandro III
"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 me, taking away the file that I had just signed. I give him a nod, he knows I am grateful, I need 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 back from my business trip, I first had to get some work settled in the warehouse, now it's all taken care of. I have handed over my responsibilities to Antonio for a few days, 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 and she's not going to stay here not until I give her a good reason to, I know I haven't been straight with my feelings with her but I am done playing around. I won't admit it out aloud but I am afraid, afraid to let someone into my life, afraid to commit, afraid to believe in love agai
The Agreement 56. New Start
"So I close my eyes to old ends, and open my heart to new beginnings" ~Unknown Bang! Bang! Bang! Several loud gunshots resonate through the air around me at the same time, and then silence. My ears buzz from the loud sound, my eyesight gets blurry. Everything around me seems to fade away, I feel a hand gripping my hair and tugging them harshly, my back hits a hard chest earning a surprised scream from me. I gasp out a breath, blinking my eyes furiously, my hair is tugged again and instinctively my hands shot up towards my head to push away the prying hand. "Leave her!" A dark voice commands through the silent air, I put my hands on my ears and press them in an attempt to get rid of the buzzing, surprisingly it works. I look around frantically until my gaze settles on Alessandro's tense frame, standing a few feet away from me. He has his gun pulled out, pointing towards me, before I could question him, I feel something jab my lower back making me go stiff. "Don't move!" Christop
