Last night, I had the worst sleep I have had in my entire life, but I got to sleep. It's 6 am and I am still lying on the couch staring at the ceiling. I had to get up early so no one would see that I slept in the office. I got up and went to the door unlocking it carefully. I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and tried to fix my hair. Then headed to the office and closed the door. I went to my desk, sat on my chair, and opened my laptop. I finished all my work yesterday so now I am just pretending to work and start thinking of the best lie that I can come up to Aiden. I am still in the same clothes as yesterday and I don't want him to find out that I slept in the office. God my back hurts so much and my whole body is in pain. It's now 7 am and I get up from my chair and went to the cafeteria so I could get some coffee. I go to the cafeteria and give my order and suddenly I hear Aiden's voice calling me.''Good morning sunshine,'' Aiden says to me with a bright smile on his face.
I woke up to a knock on the door. I reach to see the time on my phone, and it's 8. God fuckin' hell, I didn't set the alarm the other day. It must be Aiden. I started to panic and didn't know what to say or do.''One moment, I will be there in a sec,'' I say as I try to organize the place and fix myself. I got to the door and unlocked it.''Hey Aiden,'' I say with a smile on my face, trying not to be suspicious. He was standing at the door with two cups of coffee and looked at me with a 'wtf' look.''Hey, Elly. Why was the door locked?" He walks in and hands me one of the coffee cups. Think of a lie Elly. You are getting good at this.''I hm... I was going to do some work and didn't want anyone to disturb me.'' really and a fifth-grader can lie better.''Okay. Do you want me to go?'' Aiden says and looks at me with a suspicious look. God, please make him believe me."No, it's ok, you can stay,'' I say, still with a smile on my face. I sit in my chair, and Aiden sits on the chair in fr
I heard a loud knock on the door, which caused me to wake up. I reach for my phone, and it is three in the morning. A panicky feeling starts possessing me, and I don't know what to do. Who can be in the office at three in the morning? Thank God I could manage to hide some of my weapons around here without Olivia noticing them. I reached under my desk, took my gun, and went to the door, trying to make my steps not be too loud. I slowly unlocked the door and got back, aiming at where I thought the person's head could be. The door bursts open, and I freeze.It's Aiden, and he looks like hell. His hair is messy, and he is covered in blood. His face is covered in bruises.''What the hell happened to you?'' I say with a worried voice."First, put the gun down,'' he says, pointing at it with his finger. ''Where did you even get a gun?'' I forgot about it. I put the gun on the table and went in front of Aiden.''Where were you and what happened?'' I say "still" with a worried look on my face.
It's seven in the morning, and I haven't slept at all. Not that I didn't want to, but Aiden's snore was so fuckin' loud that I couldn't sleep. I got up from the chair, and my back hurts like hell. I got out of the office and went to the cafeteria. I took two coffees and two avocado toast and got back to my office. I got inside my office, closed the door behind me, and saw that Aiden was now awake. ''Good morning,'' I said, handing him the coffee and a toast. Then I got to my desk and set up my chair. ''How do you sleep on this couch? All my bones hurt." He says getting up from the couch and sitting in one of the chairs that are in front of my desk. I took a sip of my coffee, looking at him with an "I don't have another choice" look. We finished our coffee and toast, and I got back to the work I have to do today, but all I could think about was Aaron. He must be hungry. Ema has taken some days off because she is sick and no one else is here to replace her. '' Do you know what type
I woke up with a headache. For the first time in a while, I slept comfortably. I don't remember falling asleep yesterday. I stayed in bed a little bit more. But after a couple of seconds, it hit me. I shut out of the bed and looked around. I spot Aaron lying in a chair next to my bed, looking at me with a worried look. ''What the hell are you doing here?'' I say with an angry tone. ''Are you ok?'' he says, getting up from the chair. ''Why do you care how am I?'' ''Elly please don't act like a child.'' He says getting closer to me. ''Do not come fucking near me,'' I say, raising my hand to keep him away from me. ''Elly don't be like this, please,'' he says, coming even closer. "Leave right now." ''I don't want you anywhere near me. "GET OUT,'' I yell, and he looks at me with a sad face before he turns his back and gets out of the room. He hurt me. He told me I was meaningless, and I believed him. I lay on the bed, wrapped myself in a blanket, and started crying silently. After ho
I wake up to a knock on my door. I get out of bed and reach for my phone to see the time. It was 6 a.m. Who the hell is up at 6 a.m.? I reach for the door and unlock it, only to see Aiden coming inside the room with a furious face.''Good morning to you too,'' I say sarcastically.''You are leaving?'' He says looking me dead in the eye with a disappointed look.''Oh, so Aaron told you. Yes, I am leaving.'' I say trying to keep an emotionless face. It breaks my heart to leave Aiden behind, but I don't want to put anyone in danger because of me.''And where are you going?'' Aiden asks in an angry tone.''I don't know but far from here. Maybe I will go to a new town and start my new life there.''''Elly why? We can protect you here. You don't have to leave.''''Aiden I am sorry, but I have made my decision, whether you like it or not. I will not put any of you in danger because of me. ''''Elly your joking? Right? We're in the mafia. Everywhere we go, we're in danger.''"Yeah, but this o
The rest of the day was spent eating. I can't remember when I last ate that much. Giovanni went out so he could finish some work and try to learn something more about Alberto, but we both knew that there wasn't much to learn here. We have to go to Sicily. Aiden said that Alberto and Domenic lived there but never crossed their territories. After their "big conflict," they never crossed paths again. No one knew the reason for their conflict or how it started, but one thing was clear: one wrong move, and the third global war would start. I was in the living room watching TV and decided to take a shower. I got to the bathroom and started filling the tub and putting some shampoo in there so it could create some bobbles. I took my clothes off and got in the tub, relaxing my muscles in the warm water. My mind couldn't think of anything else but Bella. I was laying in the tub with my eyes closed when I heard the bathroom door slam open and saw Giovanni standing in front of me. ''Hey. You k
"Elly, get your fat ass out. You've been in that bathroom for two hours.'' I huffed in annoyance and finally put some red lipstick on. I look at myself in the mirror, and to be honest, I am satisfied. I am getting better at this. ''Elly. I need to go to the bathroom. Pleeeeease.'' I could hear his pleading tone, which only put a smirk on my face.''And I am done,'' I say, getting out of the bathroom.''Oh. Waw," Giovanni said, and I could see the lost look in his eyes. "Well, I expected you to look like a clown but I guess you are getting pretty good at this.'' I smacked him on the shoulder, making sure to hurt him. He let out a chuckle, and I headed to my bedroom. I decided to wear my short, tight black dress. It was the only one I brought with me, so it'll do the work. I started undressing. I go to my luggage and pull out my dress. I was only wearing my black panties and bra and I could feel the cold air hit my body as goosebumps appeared all over my body. I finally found the dress
''So Elly. What brought you here?'' Alberto tells me his gun never leaves my head. He pressed it harder as he pushed me into one of the club's rooms and locked the door. I could feel the fear rising in me, but that didn't help stop the words from coming out of my mouth. ''Well. Let me say I came here to kill you,'' I say as I take a seat in a chair that is near me. Keep yourself together, Elly. If you break, you're dead. ''And what makes you think you can do that?'' he says as he lets out a chuckle. I stare at him. There is no emotion on my face as I look at him and then at the gun. ''Oh come Elly. Do you really think you can take me down?'' he says in a sarcastic tone. ''What makes you think I can't?'' I feel a wave of confidence rushing through my body. ''You think that killing me is going to bring you peace,'' he says in his deep Italian accent ''You think that if you put a bullet in my head, it will make your Isabella come back,'' he says as he takes another chair and takes a s
