last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

The sounds of the bin opening and closing causes me to jump awake from my sleep, my breathing fast and heavy as I looked around my bedroom as like the attacker which touched my bin was going to jump through my bedroom door and start attacking me!

Once my brain had drifted away from sleep and I was no longer in a dream state which always fears the worst, I turn to the side of me where the space Vito lay was empty and the clock showing me it was 3am, why would Vito be walking the house at this hour? Thinking he may be having some trouble getting to sleep, I throw the covers from my legs and wrap my thin throw blanket around my naked body, it was freezing, and I don’t know if I feel comfortable walking about the house in the nude.

After securing the blanket around my body, I make my way over to my bedroom door which was open ajar and walk down the hall and out into the kitchen, where Vito was sat at the table drinking what appeared to be coffee, well that isn’t going to help him sleep!

    After an inventive early morning workout with Vito, I wake up much later than usual due to me getting a later shift at work. When I rang Shane to tell him I was getting back to work, he insisted that I take things slow the next day so offered to take the opening shift, at first, I thought he was just being nice but after all the events of yesterday, I think I need the break. Brewing my own coffee around 10am, I allowed my thoughts to wonder as I looked around my empty house. A few weeks ago, my father would have been laying on the living floor after a full night of drinking, I’d have to be so quiet not to disturb him due to his raging hangover. Talking of my father, he is doing so well in the hospital and is healing wonderfully. He would have been home by now if it wasn’t for the alcohol, due to how badly my father sunk into his drinking habits, the withdrawals are really putting strain onto his body. The doctors explained to me that it would be much safer for him to wait it out in

    Once the flat white that he had ordered was done, he takes it with a smile telling me some of his friends may join him and proceeds to walk over to the one table right at the front of the shop by the window. This not only meant that he had full view of the entire café but outside too, why were more of his friends joining him, were they also police officers coming here to watch me? Most of my questions were answered when the certain person I had been questioned over yesterday, walks through the door with a smile on his face, mostly looking over at me. Instant panic begins to spread throughout my body in that moment, I played it dumb yesterday and acted as though I didn’t know Vito. Could I be arrested for lying?! I knew I once again needed to play dumb and hope that Vito catches onto what I’m doing. “Good morning, sir, what can I get for you?” I ask with a smile saying what I do to all the regular customers, Vito catches onto me seeming to act as though I didn’t know him where he sen

    After handling some of the last of the customers and closing up the shop, I climb into Kevin’s car and begin to give him the directions for Shane’s apartment. I had only been there a handful of times before, one when Shane was throwing this huge party for his 25th birthday and a couple of times he’s forgotten something at work, and I’ve had to walk it back to him. I couldn’t shake the ominous feeling which hung in the air, it was as though deep in my gut I knew what had happened, but my mind just wasn’t catching up with it. I have a tendency of fearing the worst in any situation, so my mind was taking up the time that it wasn’t listening to my gut and begin to make up even worse scenarios in my mind. What if Shane fell down the stairs to his apartment and is currently laying on the floor unable to get up? What if Shane got into some altercation and is injured somewhere and needs our help? What if he crashed his car? There were so many different things going around my head, I began t

    The police showed up within minutes where I was pulled away from Shane, I kept begging for them to call an ambulance to come and help him, but with each look of sorrow on their faces, I knew they could see it was too late, Shane was gone. I’m led outside of the apartment which was soon cornered off and swooning with so many police cars, Kevin was the thing holding me up as I walked down those same metal steps, it was as though my body wanted to drop at any moment. Off to the side of the carpark stood a patch of green grass, once I was safely away from the tarmac, I sit in my place and allowed myself to sob into my hands, which were still stained with Shane’s blood when I went to help him. I remained in that spot for what left like a lifetime, the cries of what I had saw slowly slipping away as I sat with a dull expression on my face. It was as though I had cried all of my feelings away, I was numb in a sense as I watched the entire world go around in a blur-like sense. The police ha

    Vito soon carried me in his arms from the street and over to his car, continuing to reassure me that all was going to be okay as we headed for home. But it was as though somebody repeatedly clicked pause on my emotions, there are times I’ll break down and cry whilst others, I’m sat silently not being able to feel anything, completely numb. Getting into the house and Vito helping me to even get into some dry fresh clothes, I lay alone in bed staring at the wall in front of me, Vito had stepped out into the kitchen to get something to eat whilst telling me to get some rest. I won’t deny that I was exhausted, I had rushed around all morning setting up the café, having to deal with it alone and if that wasn’t tiring enough, I walked into my best friend's apartment and found him dead. With all this stacked up, I should find it easy to drop to sleep and forget about all my problems whilst in my deep slumber, but my brain was preventing me from even so much as drifting. Every time that I w

    ~20 hours earlier~ Shane leaves his apartment with a smile on his face, he had recently ordered another cake for Coraline and him to eat when they took their break as like they had done yesterday. He hoped she would open up to him a little more today, he could see how much she wanted to tell him what has been happening with her, but something kept holding her back. Perhaps now she has calmed down a little, it’ll be easier for him to work out what she’s truly holding close to her chest. He knew she’d told him her mood was due to her just getting back to work and her injury still hurting, but he didn’t know why, he didn’t believe her. He had known Coraline for many years now and considered her one of his best friends, he knew how she acted when certain things would happen and to him, something wasn’t adding up. That feeling only grew when he saw who was picking her up, he didn’t know his name or what Coraline and him really were, but he didn’t like it or trust him. The day that man c

    I was walking around the café, putting away the last of the cupcakes that we weren’t able to sell that day when a loud crash occurred from out of the back. I jump a little turning my head to look over at the dark and empty hallway in front of me, the only source of light being the green beacon showing which door was the fire escape. “Hello?” I ask out into the darkness taking a slow step forward scanning my surroundings for anything which could have caused that abrupt noise. Once I had reached the entrance of the very long hallway, a light which resembled a torch begins to flash on and off in a separate room to the right. With a deep breath in, I take my first steps into the hallway and closer to the flashing light off to the side, my heart in my mouth with every step that I would take closer. “Is anyone there?” I ask out loud once again whilst still continuing my journey, but as like before, I never got a reply instead, a deep feeling of danger began to spread through me as I proc

    After showering in Vito’s very expensive looking shower, I walk out and begin to shift through the piles of clothes he had picked up for me. A plain white t shirt and blue jeans standing out as an easy option, he had even remembered to pack me some underwear, with a sigh, I slip them all on for the day. Whilst I was alone with my thoughts, I did start to feel bad for the way in which I had spoken to him. I know he is just trying to help me navigate my way through this situation, but something about his lawyer just doesn’t add up for me. Owen seems like such a kind person, he could see how much Shane’s death affected me yesterday when he saw me, I don’t feel as though he’ll be sat there attempting to interrogate me. Once I was ready and looked somewhat presentable, I truly didn’t know if I had it in me to do much with my hair or face, I leave the bathroom to enter the now empty bedroom. I couldn’t help but sigh at the sight, I left Vito here after digging into him for no reason. I wa

    8 months later: The bright lights of the sun streaming through the open windows cause my eyes to flutter open, feeling a little dazed at first, I look around and begin to panic at the scene. I was all alone in the huge bedroom before me, my mind of course going to the worst-case scenario as usual. Until a little note sat on the pillow beside me grabs my attention, it read: “I thought you could do with a little more sleep after the night you had, Lucio and I have gone downstairs to allow you some rest. Take as much time as you need, Vito x” With a smile at how sweet he was, I place the note to rest on top of the bedside table feeling the worry lift from my body. I barely had any sleep last night due to our son Lucio, having a rough night of his own. Vito kept asking if I wanted him to stay awake with me, but I knew at least one of us needed to be more alive this morning, but how nice he was that he took Lucio so I could get a little more rest. I gave birth to our beautiful son

    Vito walked the halls of the warehouse watching as his new men from Henson went on their rampage and took whatever they could carry and even more. To him, this was the last job he needed to do before he could get home to Coraline, the life which he wanted was so close snd even growing inside the woman he loved and there was nothing that was going to stand in his way to get it. “One of the vans have gone to the hideout boss, it was full to the brim, these men work fast that’s for sure.” Buster informs Vito rushing into the room, a smile filling Vito’s face as he looked around as more men walked in and out of the room. “Working ahead of schedule, just how I like it.” He smiled crossing his arms over his chest, his mind full of all the ideas of what Coraline and him were going to do with all this money and what he was could to do for their unborn child. “Did you hear Jay; this place will soon be cleared!” Buster cheered over to their friend letting him know the good news, Jayden al

    My legs could have buckled from under me as I began to read further down the page and fully absorb what was written, such confusion, anger and worry filling my entire emotions. Written in a rushed sort of manner stood what appeared to be a list of things Jayden had to do, none were simple or normal when it came to list such as, get the car fixed, grab some groceries etc. Before me stood the list. 1: Poison Coraline and blame Owen 2: Have Vito kill Owen off 3: Kill Adam Hart 4: Have Vito kill Henson 5: Kill Vito on the job 6: Grief with Coraline 7: Have her all to yourself. Each item on the list began to get even more sinister as the list continued, my heart sinking to my feet when I realised that Jayden had been behind all of the horrible things which had been happening recently. I knew right when it happened that it couldn’t have been Owen that poisoned me, none of it made any sense and was impossible to happen! But what also hurt to see, Jayden had been behind the de

    The next morning soon rolls around quicker than I would have liked, I knew the job was looming close with each day, but now it was here, I was riddled with worry. Vito kept repeating that he had gone over each detail so throughly that there was no way anything was to go wrong, but I also knew not to underestimate the police, they could be way ahead of him without Vito even knowing. As we stood in the kitchen getting the last things ready, I stood with my arms crossed and my hands shaking from fear, I worried this would be the last time I’d be able to see him ever and after the news I had told him yesterday, it cut deeper than anyone would expect. “Alright, the men are waiting three streets away from the warehouse with Buster keeping them in check, we have to be there in forty minutes to ensure we hit the place in the window where the security are switching.” Jayden says going over what he had said so many times over the past few days, I’ve heard it so much, I could probably go wit

    The room dropped to silence I had never heard before, my heart in my mouth as I looked to Vito to see his reaction. I knew he wanted to be a father but now was not the time we had discussed; it would hurt so deep if he told me he wasn’t happy. But also, with the death weapon which is in his hand and pointed at Louis’s head, I was more than worried to see where this was going to go. “I only found out yesterday after I went to the restaurant, I wanted to tell you the minute that I saw you, but I knew after how the last pregnancy ended, you’ll be a little more worried about me which is something you don’t need walking into the job tomorrow.” I begin to say breaking the silence when Vito didn’t go to move or say a single word. “I wouldn’t know myself if it wasn’t for Louis, yesterday, we didn’t stop the car because I wanted to look at the scenery, we had to stop the car as I was throwing up on the side of the road which is when Louis asked if I was pregnant. I took a test and I am.” I t

    After managing to successfully, avoid slipping up to Vito and telling him about the baby for the first half of the morning, we pulled up at the huge warehouse which felt like a second home at this point, so Vito can have the last meeting with the guys before the big job tomorrow. Climbing out the car with my huge water bottle in hand hoping water was going to help the sickness ease, I walked up the steep stairs hand in hand with Vito to find it was only Louis waiting there throwing a ball in the air and catching it. “Alright boss and Mrs Boss, Buster and Jayden are running late, something about a crash on the motorway, I tend not to listen to explanations much.” Louis said sort of explaining why the others weren’t here but at the same time, giving us no information at all. “They better hurry up, we have a lot to go over about tomorrow especially, now we have more men on the team to keep in line.” Vito grumbles a little annoyed that we had to wait around for the others to show bu

    We remained at Henson old shop for the rest of the afternoon, Vito explaining to each man what was going to happen with the job and what he expected of them. To my happiness, no other men were killed as they all played ball, but Vito was quick to remind them what was to happen if they either didn’t turn up for the job or did anything to backstab or disrupt him and let’s just say, neither way sounded great for these guys. After the meeting, Vito took us home telling the rest of the guys to meet him at the warehouse tomorrow, whilst we went home to Vito’s huge house that I had yet to be given a tour of. Still being covered in blood from all he had done today, Vito takes a shower as soon as we arrived home leaving me alone to get ready for bed. But now I was alone with my thoughts, I couldn’t help but stand there in such a state of shock for all which had happened in the space of a day. I went to the restaurant and helped them with their Henson problem, finding out soon after that I’

    As soon as the guy dropped to the floor, the room shifted even more as some men even backed as far away from Vito as they could well others, wanted to seem tough and stand their ground looking right at him. “Now we had a thought, Henson had a lot of men under his payroll, some who relied on him to pay their bills, my wife here worried that some of you would grow hungry without him. Which is why as her doting husband, I was sure to set her mind at ease. I have an enterprise and due to recent events, the biggest one in the town. You guys are out of work due to his death, and I have an endless stream of jobs going, do we know where I’m going with this?” Vito asks looking over at the men making it seem as though they had a choice, but we all knew what would happen if they refused to work for him. “I ain’t working for you!” Another man shouted off to the side, where it was now Jayden’s turn to do some crowd control and ended the man’s pleas. “It appears the men which Henson hired wer

    We soon arrived at an office type building right in the centre of London, the busy street offering little to no privacy of what was going in and out of this building. Henson must have not seemed to care what people saw of him if the centre of his operation was right in the centre of the city, or he felt untouchable due to his ego. Pulling up the car around the back of the building in what appeared to be the loading area, Vito reaches into the back and pulls out a gun concealing it within his inside jacket pocket, whilst the gun he had pulled on his father was also in another pocket, how many guns does he think he’ll need?! “Alright Pequeño, you’ll be coming in with us.” Vito explains which certainly, was new information for me. Throughout all of this, Vito had always ensured that I was no where near the danger, but now I’m walking into this. “You’ll be right next to me the entire time and Louis.” He continues whilst the guys begin to get out of Louis’s car beside us, but I was sti
