Alessia Romero----------------il veleno The anxiety sprouted in my nerves the more I watched the most ruthless man fight for his life. They say, karma is a real bitch and that was confirmed by the scene I was witnessing.He was tasting the poison that he used to offer to those innocent people out there. I wondered if he knew it was painful to die before he pulled the trigger and murder souls in a cold blood.I had a heart, but it was beating at a malicious degree when it came to the man in front of me. He needed to taste the pain. Maybe his death would mean salvation for me and others.I took advantage of the situation. I gunned to his office table to hunt for something that would be useful. Most importantly, a phone.I could make a call to Carina and inform her about my misfortunes or better still, call my father, he would make quick arrangements for me to be liberated.The things on the table were neatly arranged. There was a landline desk phone on the table. The excitement got th
Alessia Romero --------- la pelle I scrubbed my body to the point of peeling off the skin. I could feel a nauseating odor still lingering in my nose. Not to imagine that my face was earlier covered with someone's blood. I gagged for the millionth time, but I wasn't throwing. I hated the sight of blood. Was it so hard to live at least a day without seeing blood? I gazed up at the mirror. My hair was already wet as I had washed it to get rid of the blood. It was unbelievable how one could feel pleasured by executing people. But again, that idiot deserved death. He was framing me for working with the strange girl who walked out of Lazza's room last night. Thank God I was in the office, otherwise, the Lazza couldn't have believed me. The Lazza hated lies. Clearly, the guy was lying to him. It's why he killed him without hesitation. But he could have told me to leave. Killing in my presence was like sowing more scenes that were to give me nightmares for the rest of my life. The gi
Alessia Romero --------- girevole The ground I stood on was spinning. I didn't even realize how I was standing on my feet. The sight of movements in the dining area left me too stunned to even react. I stood there, stranded, confused, and shocked. On the floor, I sighted the plate of steak, the same steak I had sprinkled some powder from the capsule. The plate was empty. Next to that was the dog, which was lying on the floor with its legs kicking in the air. Rodion! The fretting sound it made and the way it was fighting with its soul clarified that something was wrong. I forcefully pressed my shaky palms against my mouth. Every tick of the clock felt like my heart was being pulled out of its confines. The Lazza knelt next to the dog. He was busy rubbing its chest with his head bowed to the dog. Doctor Lucia was busy doing what God knows. It all appeared to be in vain. "How long can he hold? The veterinarian will be here in ten minutes." Sofia rushed to the scene and
Alessia Romero --------- Spari The irritating sound of gunfire stopped after it went on for almost an hour. It had gotten to a point where I was expecting anything any second. To be honest, I had never been in such an incident where I would witness deaths and bloodshed. Matteo had brought me to the east wing where we walked through a door I never knew existed in the Lazza's dwelling. The door led to the basement which was equipped with gym appliances. He ordered me to stay there until someone came to get me. The place felt like an endless dark cave. I was not aware of what was happening out there. I couldn't shake off the negative thoughts that everyone, Lazza included, had been murdered and I remained alone in the territory. Then again, I remembered who we were talking about - the Lazza. He was feared, revered, and considered the most dangerous mafia lord in Italy, not to mention Sicily. If I was not only trying to calm myself, then I admitted he was, of course, a lethal
Alessia Romero-------The atmosphere around the Mafia territory was gloomy. The attack and the death of the dog caused everyone to be dull. To be honest, I was the blame for the dog's death. I could feel my heart ripping apart from the guilt that was piling up.I knew I needed to testify to my mistake and receive what the Lazza offered. But Romeo had worsened the situation by claiming that whoever poisoned it had a plan with the attackers.I had no plans for a group of terrorists to show up and kill people. No, the only plan I had was for me to get rescued with no ruckus, which never worked.My life never worked how I planned. Everything was a total failure.All the workers in the Mansion gathered in the conference room. Early in the morning. As usual, the three Lazza took their seats, and we stood in front of them, eagerly awaiting their judgment.To be honest, the death of the dog broke me. What broke me even the most was that the dog was a vict
Alessia Romero------il dottore"Can I come in?"I peeked inside the clinic where Doctor Lucia was. I peeked inside the clinic and saw Doctor Lucia perched on a swivel chair, facing some hospital equipment on a table in front of her.The clinic room had almost everything you'd find in a hospital. Medical equipment, shelves stocked with medicines, and various other items cluttered the space."Yes, Alessia, come in." She swirled to face at the entrance where I stood like an innocent kid. I gave her a warm smile and then strode towards her."I was looking around since I have nothing to do as of now," I explained with ultimate respect. The lady had this smile that always made me feel comfortable."Thank you for landing here." She smiled at me. "How are you?""Hm..." I jumped on the bed behind her and made myself comfortable, just ignoring the smell. "...not really well." I twisted my lips. "A lot happened and I am not used to this life, you
Alessia Romero ----- la mia carne His face expressed intense wrath. The gaze he gave me was slowly consuming my flesh to ashes. But I had it enough. I had swallowed his anger and hatred for so long that I didn't care anymore. Yes, he had proven his hatred towards me. The evidence made it clear to me he despised me completely. I hated him a lot, but I never had time to hurt him physically. I had a body like any other human. I could feel pain as well. What hurt me the most was the fact that I only went there to check on him. I couldn't believe my broken heart could even feel the urge to check on him even when I knew he hated me. But he was ready to leave countless scars on my skin before he finally killed me. "Do it!" I wailed as sobs fled through my throat. "Shoot me, because that's what you are good at!" I was on the floor. My body felt weak but my hands could support my awful seated posture. I never moved even an inch when he tossed m
Rodion ___ “I'm not answering any fucking question!” That brought a smile to my lips. “Very well then.” I made a step to her. “Let's see how far you can take it.” I caged her under my arms. The fear in her eyes sent waves of satisfaction through my veins. It was like magic how I could make someone have that look. A smile crept on my lips at the realization that the girl had been afraid even before I started. I trapped a fragile body under my power. The shaky exhale she let out rang in my ears, creating a perfect symphony. I loved to see that look, begging me to stop, but that always incited the desire to explore more. Do more. I wanted, no, I needed that look so bad. Her cheeks turned red as she struggled for breath, or perhaps my hand slipping beneath her woolen top. Her skin was so warm against my hand. I could feel her texture, the smoothness against my palm. I moved my hands roughly on her back until I could feel the bra clips. She

Rodion____Years later___I took a brief inhale to the fresh scent of flowers in my grip. A simple smile emerged at the corner of my lips and a warm feeling settled in my heart.I got upstairs and there, I could feel her presence. Her pure existence was full of Joy, calmness, and grace.The door to the room was open. I sighted her immediately when I stood by the door frame. She was seated In front of a mirror at her vanity desk at the furthest corner of her bright room. She was holding a purple hair comb, busy brushing her shoulder-length black hair.She was clad in a white dress that was as pure as she was. Her tiny back was held straight, she knew what she was doing.I lifted my fist and made a gentle knock. It got her turning to face behind. She suddenly dropped her comb, jumped off her settee, and ran towards me."Papa.""Hello, pri
Alessia____"You may now kiss the bride."As if it was our first kiss, Rodion first explored my face with a look of victory in his eyes. He ran his fingers on my cheek, leaving feathery touches as he pushed the hand behind my neck.I ignored the crowd, the way everyone was cheering us, wanting us to kiss already, but watching my husband take his time to first stare at me felt like heaven.His other hand settled on the other side of the cheek. He used his thumb to caress my skin, down to my lip and then my chin."Thank you." He murmured that I was the only one who heard him. I noticed how his eyes begged me to read beyond the words, to see his heart. Those eyes that once used to scare me, were watching me tenderly. "For being mine, thank you, baby."I nodded with a smile and tears that I had been controlling ever since the wedding started to well up again. "I love you."He bowed his eyes to mine, leaning slowly
Alessia_____I silently watched as Rodion wrapped a scarf around my neck. He towered me, with every part of him attending to me. He loved to offer all his attention to me and forget he had an empire to think of. Even his blood and every sense were acquainted to submit to me."Where are we going?" I asked when he picked a trench coat from the closet. He moved behind me and helped me wear it. It was a black one, similar to the one he was wearing."You will see." He kissed my hair then walked around and stood in front of me. His hands settled on my shoulder then he interlocked our gazes. "You are okay, right?" He asked. I had no count of the number of times he asked me that question, and if he wasn't a man I was madly in love with, I could have hollered because it was too much.I released an exhale. "Honey, if I was not okay, you know I will definitely tell you, right?" I asked way more politely.He nodded and
Rodion_____The cigar smoke sailed in the atmosphere creating a dark cloud between the two of us. I was currently seated with a man who was considered my brother. He was busy smoking while I rubbed my jawline.Yes, I couldn't smoke.My eyes were on my beautiful angel moving around the compound. She was wearing a raven umbrella dress which was above her knees. She would walk inside the house and come out carrying something. It was lovely to watch her.We were currently in the Bungalow which was in the middle of the woods. Alessia loved the place since it was away from everyone and everything.I loved the place as well. It reminded me of my first time with her. The day I tasted her, the day I sank into her sweet streams. The day she moaned for me, giving me all beautiful looks. The day I claimed her.I took a sip of the drink which was surprisingly white wine. It could perhaps wash my desires. She always mad
Alessia______I almost entered the passcode to open the door when Alice grabbed me and pulled me behind."What are you doing?" She whispered. I had no idea why we were whispering because I also whispered back."Opening the door."Her mouth fell open. Not the first time but ever since we drove to the hotel, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Judith was entirely quiet and I knew I was an asshole. I could have not lied to them."You live here?" Alice asked then turned to Carina. "She lives here?""Yes," Carina whispered. "Wait, why are we whispering?""Just open the door if this is where you live." Judith diced in with her shrill voice that made my smile disappear."Okay, Jesus, can you be less cold." I walked back to the door and I did not miss the squealing sound from Alice.I was about to enter the passcode when the door clicked and someone pulled it open. I jerked awa
Alessia_______Four months laterNothing sucks like being alone on Valentine's Day. Especially when the person you love tells you that they got busy at work. It almost feels like they choose work over you.I hid the pain and read the message that Rodion sent to me.Mine: I'm sorry this had to happen, I promise to come tomorrow after we are done. I will spend the rest of the weekend with you.Yes, he was to come but not on Valentine's day. What was the point anyway?A pang crawled in my heart at the thought of it. I knew I was supposed to understand him and the situation but I could not help the sadness in my heart.His grandma summoned him so he was flying to Russia. It happened that their grandma finally decided to be true to them. I
Alessia_____The flight took us well. I was mostly chatting with Carina about some private stuff. Rodion was mostly on his laptop but the poor man did not do anything because Isabella was on his pants. She was asking a million questions and to my surprise, Rodion was so kind to answer her.I noticed something with him, he treated kids like how he would treat a pet, with care and love. Isabella spent most of the time seated on Rodion's lap as they talked about some stuff from his laptop.I even took a few photos of them. He was more comfortable around kids than he would be around grown-ups.Dad was unwell. It had been two days since he got diagnosed with high blood pressure, so he didn't join us.Mum was busy chatting with Alonzo. The way the two had gotten close was giving me anxiety, but I was happy to see them so close. I wanted Alonzo to grow close to our family because he grew up without us.
Alessia_______I am persistent, but people would call me stubborn.I needed Carina back, so I never rested in texting her every minute. Even though I used to get zero replies from her, I never gave up. And it paid off."I know I probably moved on so quickly, but that did not mean I never adored Matteo. He was a close person to me, to us." I explained wholeheartedly. It was my first time having trouble speaking to my bestie.She always felt closer than my parents, I shared a lot more with her than I would to my mother. But seated in front of her in the restaurant we were in, it felt like I was seated with a stranger."Let's not talk about it." Her eyes darted around in an attempt to avoid looking at me. She kept sipping her tea every second and the way her fingers played on the cup, she was nervous like I was."I miss
