After that day, Keira continued with her life. Carrying out missions just like she'd been asked.

But not a day slid by that she didn't think about him.

Loving someone was a beautiful feeling, but it was also unbearable torture.

The craving to see them. They would appear in the face of everyone in front of you, and you'd end up waking up to reality to realize that they weren't there in front of you like you hoped.

The kiss they'd shared that night on the boat in that incredibly romantic setting. At that time she'd told herself it was just for the mission, but only now did she realize how she'd leaned into him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with the same fervor with which he'd kissed her.

That moment became one that replayed in her head like a broken record.

The pain of a bullet wasn't foreign to Keira, but the pain of the heart was a thousand times unbearable.

So unbearable that one evening, she found herself driving to Rodrigo's secret villa in the hills, sh

    Present DayClaireI found myself in a far away world, a world I once knew but my mind drowned the memories away to the back of my mind.This world was one where men holding guns surrounded me. Rodrigo had done everything to protect me, but in the end a burly man with eyes as scary as a nightmare had taken me. "Relinquish the treasure. Give up your position as Mafia king, and maybe I'll let the little girl live. Otherwise, she dies!" I had been so scared, I was locked up in a dark room, all I could hear were voices from the man who'd taken me making demands. Days passed like wind and I'd almost died in that dark room where a seven year old's nightmare came alive until my brother showed up."You're safe now sunshine. You're safe." From that moment on Rodrigo never took his eyes off me, and it was from that moment on, people stopped calling Rodrigo by the title El Jefe, (The Boss) and he stopped wearing the blood red ring I once used to see on my father's finger.Memories of my lif

    Vincent "Vince, she's gone. I just received a report that their flight already left for Spain an hour ago." Rocco's voice was an echo in my ear until I heard him mention the fact that she's gone.Her brother took her away.I downed the whiskey sitting in my glass feeling the familiar burn down my throat."Vince..." Rocco placed a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off with a smile that didn't reach my eyes."I'm fine." I muttered pouring myself another glassful of alcohol.Everyone says alcohol is capable of numbing your feelings and making your pain feel non-existent. But it did nothing to take away the chains of hell that have wrapped themselves around my heart. "You need to stop drinking, even a fish would have drowned by now with how much alcohol you consumed."Recalling something, I threw my head back and laughed."Do you know what that woman said to me a few days ago?" Rocco snatched the glass out of my hand but I was more interested in telling him what I just remembered.

I jumped off the bed and rushed out the door after him making sure I tied the plain sheets securely around my chest. If he thought I was going to let him go after I'd clearly seen in his eyes that he hadn't forgotten me, he was absolutely wrong.But little did I expect that the minute I'd run down the stairs, I'd meet a crowd of people waiting in the entrance hall.They all turned to look at me and I found myself stumped and mortified at my appearance. Heat rushed up my cheeks and I tightened my grip around the sheets around me.Vincent was standing in the middle of it all.Clothing racks holding different, magical looking white dresses, each of a different style and design. Makeup artists holding their kits like weapons looking ready to attack. A band of people carrying bouquets of flowers outside. Why did this look like a wedding v

    Rodrigo I'd just gotten off a call with my sister when Mario barged into my office, eyes wide as if he'd seen a ghost."What is it?""Boss, there's..." Before Mario could finish speaking someone appeared behind him, this person's appearance made my heart come to a complete stop.Keira Morano.The weight of hate, heavily borne on my shoulders for years made my shoulders sag.What was it all for? All that hate, all the anger, the bloodshed. Claire had been right, we did nothing wrong. Our parents were the true villains of our story.Slowly, one step at a time, I approached her. With each step I took closer, a painful tear slid down her face reminding me of how much my heart always ached everytime I'd see her cry. I felt something hard lodge in my throat, emotions from years of suppressing them.I stopped in front of her and put a smile on my face.

    Claire and Vincent. Rome.Two years after marriage.There's a popular saying that as time goes by, a husband begins to get tired of his wife, but why was it that no matter what she did, Vincent never seemed to get tired of being around her?Yesterday, he'd been laying next to her lounged near the pool when Rocco and his men rushed in to alert him of a crisis. Even after Rocco had stressed how important the situation was, he hadn't even moved an inch away from her until she'd pushed him to leave. He'd made her promise to wait for him to come back later that night, but Keira suddenly called and asked Claire to come help her with something at her restaurant. She ended up staying there all night helping Keira redecorate the new branch of her restaurant without knowing she'd missed calls and texts from her husband. The next morning she'd woken up to find his angry face staring at her. Eventually he'd called Keira and found out she was there."Do you even know how worried I was? I was goi

    "Sorry for not taking your calls." She moaned as his finger sought the opening between her legs. Even through the fabric, his coarse finger made several sensations run through her body at that slight touch."You've said that..." He murmured. Suckling on her nipple while his finger teased the entrance of her pussy in exploration before sliding in making her gasp and arch."I'm still waiting to hear the rest." "I..." She couldn't focus on talking with what his tongue and fingers were doing to her body. He pulled out his wet finger and licked it clean, the action made her pussy throb and ache for him to be inside her. "I already said everything.""You said everything about yesterday, but you didn't say anything about today.""What did I do today?" His hands grabbed her thighs and pulled her lower on the bed her arms still held up by the cuffs around the bedframe.His face came down and his tongue teased a trail over her clit."Ah..." Her head was thrown back against the pillow as the

    Leanne. "I know you need to know this, that's why I came here to show you myself."Claire sat across from me in the living room of my apartment, it felt so wonderful to see her again. There was so much I wanted to apologize to her for now that we're together physically, like not being there for her when she gave birth, through the times she needed a friend most. All those words of apology remained stuck in my throat when I looked through what she'd just handed me.It was a full record proving my step father had indeed been into crime, and he hadn't done it alone, my Mom had been a part of it as well. The discovery that my own parents had been lying to me all along was heart wrenching."Claire, it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't need to know all this anymore."Claire nodded in understanding."Regardless, I wanted you to know the truth. And there's one more thing."I looked away from the pile of papers to her face."If it helps...in any way, Rocco wasn't the one who pulled tha

    18 Months Later.Rocco"Are you okay? Don't tell me you're still thinking about that girl." Vince sat next to me and I realized I'd spaced out again."What are you talking about?" I chuckled brushing away the topic he brought up.'That girl' he mentioned was someone I didn't want to talk about, not since she disappeared about a year ago, and not since I'd opened up to Vince about her on a drunken haze one night. "Look, it's alright to admit you can't forget about a girl, and it's definitely alright to admit that you're in love with her."That word made me wince, I still feel the sharp stab of the pain it caused in my heart the day I searched for her endlessly but couldn't find her. "Vincent Morano, love is for men like you who decide to open up to it. I've already told you, that love bullshit isn't for me."Vincent shook his head as if he couldn't believe what I'd just said."Then how can you explain your restlessness after that girl disappeared? It's all love Rocco."I rolled my ey

    Leanne "Don't you dare try to come up with lies to my face." I spat angrily after what Erik just said made me feel like there was ice running through my veins. Rocco, killed our father? I could never believe that."You gullible little idiot! I knew you were stupid but not this stupid, it seems I overestimated how smart you could be. You're fucking the very man who murdered the man you once called Dad. You're disgusting."I couldn't control it anymore, I raised my hand and slapped him across the face and his head swung to the side."I've had enough of you. Get out!" I yelled pointing at the door. "Fucking bitch!" Erik roared and things happened too fast after that.Erik suddenly pulled a gun out of nowhere pointing it to my chest, I was rooted in my spot in shock when he pulled the trigger."Lea!" Rocco's voice echoed behind me and then the trigger went off.Two bullets were shot successively, one by Erik and the other by Rocco. By the time my shock had subsided I shivered realizing

    Rocco"Hello old friend." Erik's face twisted in a wide grin, one that didn't reach his eyes."Erik." I muttered, suppressing the anger at the sight of him in Lea's apartment and pushed him aside striding inside and began looking around for Lea."Is that how to greet a friend you haven't met in years?"My brows furrowed in deep suspicion. "Where is she?" He didn't answer me, only maintained that blasted grin and folded his arms. "Where do you think she is?" He raised a brow tauntingly. I was striding over to him before I could control myself, grabbing him by the collar tightly."Don't fucking mess with me, I know what you're fucking up to and if you hurt a single hair on her head I swear...""Rocco?" Lea walked out of her bedroom staring at me with a confused look in her eyes."What's going on here?" She asked but instead of answering I hurried to her and began surveying her body for any signs of injuries, when I found none relief wafted into me. "I told you this would happen did

    Leanne I woke up on something as hard as a rock, when I shifted the rock beneath me shifted as well and arms circled my waist, a soft kiss on the top of my head. I couldn't stop a warm smile from lifting my face. "Morning." A richly deep voice sounded above me, I raised my head to meet a handsome face with dark tousled hair and super dark eyes smiling down at me."Morning." I replied and he held me tighter. "Is this the part where I make you breakfast in bed? You'd have to excuse my awful cooking skills though, I should have taken some lessons from Vince." His words made me giggle but before I could reply his phone started ringing. He fished it out of the jacket pocket thrown to the floor and began to talk to someone in Italian, I moved to get off his body but he held me still shaking his head as an indication for me not to leave so I continued to lay on his chest.When the call was over he dropped the phone aside, silently staring at me as he played with a strand of my hair.

    Leanne I'd been thinking about him a lot since I returned, it felt weird. I used to assume that coming back to my apartment would remind me of Carl, even though I'd been insisting on leaving, I dreaded actually coming back, but the moment I did, only Rocco remained on my mind.I did a lot to distract myself, like rearranging the settings of my apartment and changing things up. I'd finished cleaning up the apartment and everything looked perfect when my doorbell rang, I didn't expect to see the person who has been on my mind, and I certainly didn't expect the first thing he would do was to kiss me.I was stunned in place, shocked and enchanted by his sudden kiss. His mouth tangled with mine in a sensual dance, dominating in a ravenous way till I felt the familiar warmth of arousal trickle between my thighs. I quickly came back to my senses and pushed him away."I told you never to kiss me like that again!" I yelled heaving for breath, my blood still pounding in my ears. "Sorry." He s

    Rocco"I promised to take you home, but not this fast." I replied feeling a slight disappointment at the fact that she actually asked to go home this soon. "Please, I can't live like this anymore. I used to have my routine and everything used to work well for me, I just...I don't want to stay here anymore. Let me go." I frowned deeply remembering the very reason I'd brought her here in the first place. "Didn't you hear what I said? You're not going home yet." "Why are you so focused on keeping me here? Why do you keep doing things that make me..." "That make you what?" I challenged with a raised brow.She sighed and said, "If you keep forcing me to stay here against my will, I might just hate you even more than I already do." Her face held a deep kind of seriousness that caught me off guard. The little lake of disappointment expanded greatly inside me.She hates me!Those words created a whirlwind inside my head."You want to leave so badly? Then go! Don't even stay here for a si

    RoccoAn addiction was something that would consume your mind in whole till you had absolutely nothing else to think about, nothing else to want to engage in, but that, and Leanne Devin was my new addiction.That night I laid in bed, I could picture every second of it like a movie playing on repeat in my mind. It was absolutely fascinating. Every small whimper that got buried against my mouth as I kissed her, how her fingers curled against my shirt, and how hesitantly she kissed me back. I replayed all of it till I drifted off to sleep. When I went down for breakfast that morning with the hopes of seeing her, she wasn't at the breakfast table."Kennedy, get Lea down here." I instructed after taking my seat.Something told me her face would go all red the minute she sees me. My lips raised in anticipation of that, I had a few lines to tease her with when I noticed Kennedy hadn't moved from his position even after I gave my instruction."Why are you still standing there?""Lea isn't i

    RoccoLeanne wiggled her foot to try to get the crab off. "Ah! It's not letting go!" Her eyes were red rimmed and she bit her lips to hold in the pain."Hey hey, calm down. Don't move okay? I'll get it off." I looked into her eyes and assured her till she nodded before I bent to have a look at her toe where the crab still held on. If moved rashly it could cause an irreparable damage so I slowly pulled it off her and flung it back into the water.She sucked in a breath in pain and I couldn't help but let out a low chuckle at the expression on her face. "Who would have thought it'd take a crab to make you look so frightened." I muttered reeling in the feeling of amusement."Tsk, why shouldn't I be scared when I thought it would cut off my toe. It hurts and you're laughing?" "Don't worry, luckily the crab didn't feel too threatened. It's only going to hurt for a while." Bending down I lifted her in my arms and carried her away.Kennedy followed behind and called awkwardly."Uhm...are
