Cesare skipped from the balcony and landed on the floor still standing. He loaded his gun again and began chasing after Rocco. "Rocco!". He yelled when he got really close to them.Rocco quickly wrapped his arm around Leniela's neck and positioned the gun on her head."Let her go!". Cesare commanded, still aiming at him."You really don't know when to quit huh!". Rocco smirked devilishly.By then Cesare's men who were with him earlier were already approaching them."Stop where you are and drop your weapons or she'll suffer the consequences". Rocco barked towards them but none of them yielded to his commands.Bang!"Ahh!". Leniela screamed in horror."Men, stand down! Drop your weapons!". Cesare finally ordered placing his own gun on the floor carefully.Rocco led out a satisfying laugh. "Look at you all, panicking just with a mere shot in the air. What would happen if I actually shot her right in front of you?". He asked adjusting his gown carefully on her head."She has nothing to d
Cesare seemed unaffected, making her wonder if he didn't get her the first time."Did you get me?" she asked. "I said I'm going to die soon". She stated calmly."What type of joke is that?" he questioned with a deep scowl. "You know I don't find such jokes funny". He warned in a serious tone."It's the truth". She affirmed again.Cesare remained silent for a while, just looking directly into her eyes."You're willing to go this far? To hurt me this much just so you can leave me, Lenie?". His voice had softened at this point. Leniela could see he was starting to get a hang of it.She looked at the view of the city again, then tilted her head to look at him."What Rocco said that day was the truth. If you can't believe his words or mine reflect on my reaction". She said,Cesare gave it a thought. It's true she was visibly shaking with fear but to him it was only as a result of all the overwhelming lies of her past that he fed her with. "I had also fainted". She remained. "If after al
TWO DAYS LATER"Slowly…, take it gently and...alright,". Leniela settled Amalia cautiously on the seat with a smile."You don't have to treat me like a kid you know, I'm fine already even the Doctor said so. What's left is to get this thing off my arm". Amalia gestured to the armrest with a frown.They had just returned from a checkup at the hospital. Amalia had woken the next day in the morning after her operation. The mother and daughter cried in each other's arms , happy to see that they were still alive and together. Leniela had wept and asked for forgiveness and promised never to leave her again. Amalia on her part, welcomed her with open arms and narrated how Rocco's men barged into the house and drugged her and the next thing she knew was her passing out.Leniela wiggled her head in amusement as she went back inside the kitchen."I don't think that's what the Doctor said Mom. Stop being stubborn". She scolded."You weren't there when he said it". Amalia argued.Leniela returne
The atmosphere at the Ferrari's mansion was rather tense and frightening for the past few days.No one dared to pass across the specific room for fear of being the monster's object of frustration.Inside a dark room, a man sat on the bare floor bare footed, lost in thoughts as he smoked on his cigarettes while gulping down a bottle of whisky. His hair was rough and unkept, a contrast of his real self. His clothes were dirty and tattered but he didn't care.The door slowly opened and another man walked in rather carefully with a team of cleaners behind him.Cesare didn't wasn't the least curious to find out who it was that had dared to invade his privacy."Are you going to continue like this Cesare?". The man asked after looking at him for a good couple of seconds.He took his time before answering. "You wanted me to fall in love right? This is how I've turned out to be because of love so why complain?". He asked mockingly, still not passing a glance at him.The man wasn't hurt by his
"What?" Amalia was the one who exclaimed in shock. "What are you saying? I don't understand a thing? If it's one of your plans again I'm not finding it the least funny". Cesare vibrated looking at Alfredo.Leniela was the only one who remained resilient as if she didn't hear what had been said even though it concerned her.. "It is what it is, son". He replied. Reaching out for something from his inner pocket, he pulled a picture and stretched it towards Amalia who curiously received it."The boy there is Cesare and I'm sure you more than any one can recognise the girl in the picture". Alfredo said.Of course Amalia could. She's would recognise this little baby no matter how long it had been. "This..this is leniela" stammered looking at him in shock.Hearing that, Leniela quickly took the picture and affirmed it within herself. Cesare too got a hold of the picture and was also stunned."How is it possible that we've known each other since we were kids?". Leniela questioned."Your fat
Leniela ran as further as she could. She didn't know where she was going but she just wanted to run away."Lenie!". Cesare called running after her but she didn't stop.He had to admit she had quite some good running skills or was it perhaps the anger she was feeling now?. He had been chasing her since she ran out of the house and in less than no time she was already at the beach. It wasn't that really far from their home but she was really fast. Leniela continued to run until she couldn't anymore then decided to stop. She faced the water, the first thought that came into her mind was to jump into the water and forget abot all this once and for all."Lenie, please calm down, think about your mom. Think about how devastated she would be without you". Cesare who had just arrived managed to caution her amidst his heavy heaving as a result of the run."Ahhhh!". A long agonizing scream tore out from her throat, veins popped out of her neck. Her chest moved up and down in quick rhythm as s
"Never in the history of mankind would I have thought Nath could hold a gun, talk less of pulling the trigger". Leniela voiced out in both unbelieve and amusement, making Nathalia who was seated on the opposite side to chuckle."I for one almost had a heart attack when I couldn't find her in the house only for her to return alongside with the others and the next thing I heard was. 'I killed that son of the devil'. Savina said, mimicking Nathalia."Hey! That's not how I speak". Nathalia smacked her in the shoulder and she winced."Well, you should have expected it sooner. I've got the blood of Mafia's running in my veins yunno not just anyone for that matter, the fiercest in all of Italy". Nathalia replied, pride evident in her voice as she sipped on her cold apple juice.Leniela smiled bitterly hearing what she just said. She noticed the girls were now staring at her so she decided to divert their attention."So how do you feel now?". She referred to Nathalia."Do you really have to
"Cesare wake up!". Leniela tapped him on his hand but he instead tightened his hand on her waist.She sighed."There's someone by the door, quit sleeping around". She slapped him harder this time and he snuggled into her chest, giving it a kiss before raising his head."Good morning beautiful? I heard you whispering my name, what could you possibly want from this god in front of you so early in the morning?". Cesare asked cunningly, his eyes directed to her full chest."You weren't getting a thing I said yesterday night where you?". She asked ,removing his hands from her waist."Of course not Damigella when it comes to you I do not miss a detail. You told me we can't make love and I accepted but I don't think you're going to stop me from ravishing your lips or worshiping my favorite melons. There's no penetration in that is there?". He asked teasingly."Is there actually a day which goes by without you talking dirty?" She asked, avoiding his gaze."I only do that with you Damigella, n
