"This is why I love you, Cris. You're the best, man" he says rushing out of my room. I can't believe Nev suddenly turned into a teenager because of Marianna or that he actually took my advice seriously. Chances are she will take whatever he buys for her and shove them up his ass. Fuck, I hope she does it so Nevio can give up. The last I want to do is kill him over a woman. Which is exactly what will happen if he so much as lays a finger on her.

It's almost time to leave so I quickly get dressed and head out of my room. Since mine is the furthest down the hall, I have to pass by Marianna's when I leave. Seeing the door isn't fully closed, I decide to tell her to behave herself while I'm gone but I hear voices coming from inside so I stop. It never hurts to eavesdrop on the enemy once in a while.

"Shit Mari, why didn't you tell me before we left? What if they leave a scar?" A voice which I guess belongs to her bodyguard Paulo, asks. And from what I hear, they're talking about the mar

Calm down, Cris. You ain't seen nothing yet

    A few years ago "You two again?" Lombardi roared "Wasn't trashing my office enough? Now you decided to make a mess in my kitchen? Look at all the things you broke. Do you know how much those fucking cups cost me?" He didn't care about the broken utensils. He was angry and needed someone to take his anger out on. "It wasn't me Padre. It was Carina" Marianna spoke up first to shift the blame to Carina even though she was the one who'd started it. During breakfast, one of the maids had sat them at the dinner table and served them their breakfast. Marianna wanted to know why Carina's hair grew so fast even after she'd cut it last month but when she didn't get an answer, she flung the cup in front of her towards Carina. Having gotten used to her tantrums, Carina had ducked, which only served to infuriate Marianna more. Without thinking she grabbed anything her hands got on and kept hurling them, not caring where they landed or if she hurt her sister. Tired of ducking, Carina had decid

    "I asked how you are, Marianna" "Let's not pretend you actually care about me. And to answer your question, I didn't steal anything from you while you were out" "That's not what I asked. Besides, what could you possibly steal from me?" "Information about your organization. Weaknesses and strengths. Just because I'm pretty, doesn't mean I forgot my brains at home" "Pretty? Who said you were pretty?" Every fucking man I've met on this planet. Not that I need anyone's validation. If it wasn't for my asshole father, my life would be perfect. I don't crave love and affection like most people. I don't need someone to constantly remind me I'm beautiful or worthy. You can't long for something you've never had. De Luca moves to stand at the foot of the bed and says, "The word pretty is too basic to describe someone as magnificent as you, Marianna." Okay. I wasn't expecting that but I'll take it. "Did you want something, De Luca?" I ask pretending I don't care for what he said. I

    "I got your missed call, sir" "Where the fuck were you Fausto? When I call, I expect you to pick up my damn calls. I don't care if you're balls deep in some fucking whore, you answer my calls! Do you understand?" "Yes sir. I apologize. It won't happen again" "It better not because next time I'll put a hole between your eyes and ask questions later. Now come to the mansion tomorrow. I found some discrepancies in the accounts that I want you to explain" "Yes sir" I hung up. Damn, I was pissed about that imbecile not picking up my calls but when I got home, I forgot. Why? Because I couldn't wait to see Marianna. All day long I couldn't stop thinking about her or how to kill her father. For some stupid reason, I've taken it upon myself to save her from that fucking monster. When I got back I could see she was topless under the sheets. Which only served to infuriate me more because I knew she'd spent all day like that so as not to aggravate her wounds. I honestly don't know what kind o

    "Holy fuck. What the hell was that? What have I done?" I curse while banging my forehead on the door. Did I just give her something to use against me? Feeling angry on her behalf and wanting her father dead is one thing. Letting her see how much hold she's got me is something else. For heaven's sake she's only been here for a day and already I know I'm fucked. "Yeah Cris, why'd you do that?" Nev asks from behind me making me jump. I was so distracted that I fucking jumped when he spoke up. Imagine that. If it had been an enemy, I would be dead because I didn't see them when I came in. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you here?" With the amount of time he spends in my room, someone would think he doesn't have his. "Are you coming out of her room? If you liked her why didn't you tell me?" "I can't answer your questions now when I don't even have answers to my own. Leave me alone" "Is she the reason you've been in a foul mood all day?" "Yes, no, I don't know" "Shit Cris

    I can't believe that asshole. After kissing me the way he did, he had the nerve to spend the night with his whore while I spent all night tossing and turning wondering why he did that. For a second there I thought it was because he felt... I don't want to say sorry because that's worse. I think maybe he felt something for me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed me like... God, I don't even know how to explain it. The few times I've been kissed, the men didn't care. They were after my body not to make me feel anything. And up until yesterday, I didn't know a man with a reputation like De Luca's could kiss like that. Fuck, I would have gotten on my knees if he'd asked me to. Now I see how stupid I was. He's doing the same thing Padre sent me here to do. And if I hadn't seen him with that slut I would have fallen for it. Damn, I need to be alert or De Luca will turn the tables on me. "You look disappointed Mari. Do you like him?" Simona asks "Yes. Because I'm stupid enough to fall fo

    No. My mind screams but my lips are ready to receive his. When they finally touch, I sag against him opening my mouth. If there's one thing I can't deny it's that this man can kiss. Of course, he's had a lot of practice and that should bother me. I don't want to end up on the list of women he's had but I can't stop myself. Last night's kiss was sweet, slow, and decadent. Today he's kissing me like someone who's trying to prove a point. Either way, I'm enjoying it while telling myself this is the last time. I can't let him keep doing this. "I think you're enjoying this more than you should" he mutters pulling his head back. The smile on his face takes me by surprise and I blink up at him, forgetting what I was about to say. He looks so handsome when he smiles like that. Before, I thought he was hot, like my concentration was on his body, not his face. But now it feels as if the curtain has been pulled down and I'm looking into the man he really is. The man the world doesn't know exist

    This bitch thinks she's some kind of goddess or something. God, I missed her stinky attitude. Do you know what else I missed? Bringing her back down to earth. I'm gonna have a lot of fun doing that. I've been here for five seconds and she thinks she can order me around. Like who made her my boss? Shaking my head, I walk to where she dropped some of the bags she'd been carrying and kick one of them. A box of shoes slips out. Knowing her, they're probably the latest design and I hate her for always having everything she wants. Don Lombardi doesn't have favorites but it's clear Marianna always gets more of everything without even asking. "Leave? But I just got here. I missed you so much big sister. How have you been?" "I swear to God I'm going to cut you into tiny little pieces and mail you back to Padre if you don't leave" "Why should I? This isn't your house Mari where you have the authority to kick anyone out. And De Luca said I could stay if I wanted to. So I'm definitely stayin

    "Whatever it is you're planning, don't even think about it," Paulo says, barging into my room. His loyalty to her is sickening. But I also have to admit that I wouldn't mind having someone like him by my side. He would die for that bitch in a heartbeat. "Hello Paulo. Long time no see. Still not tired of that spoiled brat's cunt?" "I won't hesitate to kill you if you do anything to her. You know me" "What will it take to get you over to my side?" "Nothing. You're not half the woman she is so nothing you offer will ever get me to betray her. Get that straight through your head" "Everyone has a price. I just have to find yours" I tell him unzipping my dress and letting it fall to the floor. His eyes darken and I know I'm right. At the end of the day, he's still a man. A bisexual one but still a man "I was going to take a nap but on second thought, I think I'll take a shower. Wanna join me?" "I've seen better Carina" he's referring to Marianna. That witch. I admit she's blessed

    "Till death do us part. Did you hear that? Till death... " She rolls her eyes but she's grinning from ear to ear just like I am."Yeah, yeah. I heard it alright, I'm not deaf you know" "No, you're not. Just pregnant, with my baby. I still can't believe I'm going to be a father" "I can't believe I'm going to look like a watermelon in a few months. You know it's not going to be pretty, right? I won't be pretty at all" "Honestly, I can't imagine you not being pretty. Even if you do end up looking like a watermelon" "It's even going to be worse after I give birth. I went online and the other women's experiences scared the shit out of me" "Oh yeah? Like what?" "Doctors chopping my vagina if it's too small for the baby to pass through" I blanch but luckily she doesn't see it because I'm behind her. "That is not true, baby. Don't listen to them" "And then there's the husband stitch" "What the fuck is that?" "They add extra sutures to a woman's vagina to make it tighter." She stops

    I sit up looking around. Aside from Carla, there's no one else here. Then who's voice was that? I've never heard it before "Is anyone there?" I ask out loud. We've been here for a few weeks now and I haven't seen another soul around. We don't even have neighbors "Hello?" "It's morning already?" Carla asks yawning. "No, I think I heard someone calling me. Are you sure it's just us here?" "Yes. We should sleep. Remember you promised me how to throw knives tomorrow?" at that statement my head starts spinning. I don't remember promising Carla anything like that. It wasn't her. It was... "Morning. I came up with a new breakfast" Carla says jumping on the bed. She's also annoying like that. Every day she gets up earlier than me then jumps up and down on my bed to wake me up. Whatever happened to shaking people awake? Or wait for their eyes to open themselves?"Ugh, stop that. I'm still sleepy" "But we have so much to do" "Do it yourself. Have you never heard of that? DIY?" I grumble

    The sun is shining brightly today, the kind of day that invites you to lie around and bask under the bright, warm golden sun rays. I've never done this before. I mean sitting somewhere to enjoy the day. Sweeping my gaze around the place I realize I'm in a park. And like the start of a movie, things start to come to life. The greenest grass I've ever seen spreads over the ground and with it, people appear. Men, women, children, and pets, fill the place. Playing, others sitting, some are coming while others are going. I don't think my mind has the capacity to wonder where I am or why all this is happening. I just want to enjoy everything so screw logic. There's a family in the middle, sitting on a blanket and laughing. I think they're having a picnic, something normal people do from time to time. It occurs to me that I've never been on a picnic and a wave of jealousy hits me, so strong that I feel the burn of tears behind my eyelids. Why is it that some people are allowed to do that an

    Everyone is worried. Ornella is sitting in one of the chairs wringing her hands, Marianna is next to her, looking down at her phone, and Giovanni is pacing back and forth in front of the waiting room. Paulo is seated in another corner, elbows on his knees while his head is bowed. Gianna and Simona are huddled together crying. Nev is also next to me, staring into space. Not forgetting Damiano, he's beside Marianna but I haven't seen them talking. There are nurses rushing back and forth. The first was carrying a bag of blood. The next had bottles of what I figured had to be medicine. The third left but hasn't come back. In short, it's chaos. I think I heard Giovanni swear he was going to gut the little bitch that shot Carina and Damiano told him if he tried to touch her he'd spend the rest of his life in prison. Not sure what that means though. Did I mention Ornella is holding a rosary? I bet she's praying for her daughter to come out alive. There was a lot of blood so I guess she's ri

    Past Zarina, Zarina! Where the fuck are you?" "Language Edmondo. Your son is standing right next to you" Zarina chastised. She knew her husband would always have a filthy mouth, but she expected him to control it whenever they were around their son. "My son, is it?" he asked sarcastically "Go upstairs Cris, I need to talk to your mother" "But Papa, you promised to play football with me once we got home" A young Cristiano whined. His father was spoiling him and it was time to put a stop to it before he grew up to be one of those egotistical men. She wanted him to be confident but not arrogant. In their world, arrogance was something that could easily get you killed. "I'll come get you once we're done talking. Now go""You promise?" "Yes, now leave," he said impatiently making Zarina furrow her eyebrows. This was the first she'd ever seen her husband show any kind of impatience towards Cristiano. Normally he tolerated everything his son did, good or bad. With his head d

    I shrug "Sorry about that. I just think you should concentrate on being a mother and leave these things to us men" okay, that came out wrong. I didn't mean to put it like that. "Would you look at that? Who knew you were such an asshole?""Sorry, I meant that you should just stay at home and... No, you know what I mean. I would never suggest that you are incapable of being the leader or anything like that" I need to shut up before she decides to kill me. Between her and Marianna I don't know whose temper is worse. I mean if she shot De Luca once, what would she do to me? "Keep going you little shit and see how I'll skin your dick before I kill you" she snarls pushing her chair back and standing up. Luckily, De Luca pulls her down, asking her to calm down. "I honestly didn't mean to offend you" "Who the fuck are you and why are you here?" Moretti speaks up for the first time since I got here. See these are the kind of questions they should have asked from the beginning. "I am someo

    "Listen, Damiano, you're not allowed to be anything else other than a police officer. Do you hear me? That is the only thing you will be when you grow up so don't even think of dreaming about something else" That's what Mama used to tell me. She drilled it into my head until I believed that what she said was true. I wasn't allowed to be a doctor or a lawyer or even a businessman. By the time I was ten, I'd forgotten what I wanted to be. If anyone asked, being a policeman was my dream. Why? Because Mama said it was what I was meant to be. Honestly, there were times I resented her for forcing me into this career. At eighteen when my friends were going off to college, I was preparing myself to go into a police academy. That was the time I truly hated her. But I couldn't defy her because she was my mother and the only person I had in this world. For all her flaws, there was one thing I would never doubt and that was her love for me. She wanted me to grow up to be a respectable man, unli

    What I wouldn't give to have Ornella waiting for me there. She used to know what I liked and how I liked it. So far, I haven't come across any woman who could compare to her. But she's still angry that I refused to let Carina go. She's blaming me for her hating us which is true. There's also the fact that I targeted Carina's perfect boyfriend -her words not mine - and now there's no way she can get through to our daughter. In my defense, I didn't know she was already carrying De Luca's child. Walking past Ornella's room, I wonder if I should barge in there but discard that idea. She's not the same naive woman I'd met twenty-five years ago. I asked her to clean up her act and she did so much better than I would have imagined. I've just closed the door when I hear footsteps along the corridor. I wouldn't have been able to hear anything since the floor is carpeted but it's almost morning and the house is quiet. I can hear everything. I wonder who it is and where they're going at this ti

    Someone is trying to kill Carina. The first accident she was in, it was natural to conclude that they were after De Luca because he does have a lot of enemies. Some assholes might think he's weak because he was living here with Carina but I have it on good authority that he's quiet because he's regrouping and rebuilding. I've never been able to get a read on that little fucker but he's what I recently found out. He's dangerous. More than the late Don. When it comes to made men, reputation is everything. Hence the reason some idiots would never be caught accepting a woman's help much less living in her house. It's that pride that has gotten most of them killed. De Luca is dangerous because he knows when to accept help. He's the type that wouldn't mind starting over again as a foot soldier and making his way up. Having both patience and perseverance makes him almost untouchable. He knew going to a hotel was risky and living with his second-in-command in the Carina's house was even risk
