View MoreLuciano.I couldn’t think as I stared at the man I hate so much pointing a gun at my wife’s head.“Nice of you to join the party, Rossi,” Pedro said, with a cheeky grin on his lips.“What do you want?” I asked, taking my eyes from his to Marianas who didn't look a bit bothered her father was pointing a gun at her.But I can tell she was scared but didn’t want to give him that satisfaction.“You know the very one thing I want, boy.” He answered.“And that is?”“The death of you and your brother. You both have been nothing but a pain in my ass for some many years. I want you gone, the same way I did with your parents.” He smiled after saying that.He’s edging me.My eyes flickered to Kyle who was still on the floor bleeding from his stomach which he’s trying hard to stop. His face looked pale and as he lay on the floor the image of my father lying dead on the ground with his pool of blood surrounding him popped up in my head.“You should stop this madness, Pedro!” Carlos snapped behind
Luciano.I stared at nothing as I kept wondering what had gone wrong, I have everything planned so how the fuck was Pedro able to get away without knowing what we have planned.“How did this happen?”“How did he escape?” Carlos' question pulls me back to consciousness.I looked at him, we were currently standing in the hallway of his office floor. The evidence has been given to him and right now he has every right to get Pedro in for questioning but what the fuck I do not know was how he was able to get a whiff of this.“I have no idea.”“Do you know where he must have gone?” He asked again, his tone a bit different from earlier so I know he isn’t talking about Pedro now.My mood seemed to dampen as he asked about him again.It has been three hours since Adriano left my house, three hours since I haven’t heard anything from him, and three fucking hours since Pedro went missing.“I don’t know. He wouldn’t answer his phone no matter how many times I called.” His words haven't stopped ri
Luciano.Adriano didn’t say anything after Kyle gave that suggestion but I know he’s thinking about it— if that look on his face still meant he’s thinking about it then he is.At times like this, I wonder if I do know my brother or if he’s just another stranger to me, I haven’t felt so shitty until he told me he was there that day. When I thought I was the only one who carried that burden on my shoulders, I had no idea my little brother was there.He saw the whole thing too and just like me he wasn’t able to do anything— I know how helpless that feeling must have been after he’d realized what that bastard was doing to our mother.He has been suffering silently for years, not saying anything to me or even our father before he was killed.He kept everything to himself instead of telling me; the one person he had around. He pushed me away again and again even when I tried checking up on him. He shouldn’t pull that not caring enough card on me, I tried my fucking best he just x doesn’t wa
Maria.I was nervous inside as we waited for Adriano to come, Emilia went back to the room after she was sure Luciano had forgiven her even though she wasn’t the one at fault. I knew Luciano wasn’t that comfortable while she hugged him and I get it, he isn’t that used to getting hugged out of nowhere.Adriano will be here in five minutes, that was what Luciano told me three minutes ago which meant in a minute or two Adriano would be walking right through that door.“You’re shaking. You know he’s not going to hurt you while I’m here right?” Luciano asked beside me.I know but I can’t help it.The last time I saw his brother was on the wedding day and the look in his eyes didn’t tell me he would like the idea of Luciano doing it this way.“I know.”We all looked up when we heard footsteps coming from the stairs, it was Emilia she was coming down the stairs looking freshened and less somber.I don’t think she should be one, having one of us here is enough for Adriano.“You should go upst
Luciano.Mariana's decision is the best, I think it’s better for her sister to find out from her rather than from someone else, it wouldn’t be good if she found out that way.She will be hurt and think my wife is keeping things from her even though they were close.While she was on the call with her father I quickly texted Kyle to stand guard and make sure she got her safely. I don’t care if he showed himself to her, all I wanted was her safety.I know Mariana would go nuts if anything happened to her sister especially now that she has gotten her memory back.I wanted to tell her but like I said it wouldn’t be fair if I did, her brain suppressed that particular accident for a reason. It’s better for her to find out by herself than from me which I didn’t think would happen soon. But it did, she knows everything about her vile and evil father now and I can see it, I can see the slight change in her.Where she was a little hesitant about my plan of killing her father before, she is more
Maria.I almost threw up a couple of times while speaking with my father.After the tall Luciano and I had, I had no other choice but to call him. Luciano was right when he said I was the only one who could persuade my father to let Emilia come over without getting suspicious of anything.I felt relieved like a huge ass freaking weight had been lifted off my shoulders when he finally agreed after pleading with him for a long time.I dropped my phone and raced to the bathroom to throw up every single thing on my stomach after the call.I ended up crying in the bathroom after that and got pulled out of the bathroom by Luciano.I couldn’t stomach anything even when Luciano and Elena tried, I was anxious and couldn’t eat until Emilia got here.I kept on staring at the time over and over again waiting to see when she would come.“You know she’s on her way right now,” Luciano said beside me.I blinked as I looked at him, surprisingly he hadn't left this morning. He has been by my side since
Maria.I whimpered and then someone tapped my shoulder. I ignored the continuous tapping as I kept on whimpering.I wanted to come out of the dream, I wanted to stop but I couldn’t and even the consistent tapping on my shoulder wasn’t able to pull me out of it.“Butterfly.” A voice called.“You have to wake up Mariana.” The same voice called.I squirmed around and woke up with a gasp, I stared at the ceiling and saw it was still dark inside the room.I blinked and then burst into tears, no, it couldn’t be real.That must be what my imagination is trying to tell me.Oh God. I can’t believe this.“Mariana.” I turned and saw Luciano sitting on the bed while watching me wet my face with my tears.“Are you alright?” He asked and I shook my head.I am not fine at all. I don’t think I will ever be fine after getting my memory back.“Why?” I asked as I burst into tears again.He didn’t say anything but wrapped his arm around me until I was sitting on his lap and my head was resting on his che
Maria.I ran to the other side of the hallway, hiding behind a wall when I heard the office door opening. With my head out a bit, I watched as Mom stomped out of the office looking all angry.I wonder what could possibly make her that angry, minutes later father came out I could see him with my head out but I don’t think he could see me. My eyes widened when Father's head turned to the spot I was hiding, I was quick to hide myself before he could see me…. Or so I thought.“Mariana.” He called and I instantly froze.How on earth did he see me?“I know you are there, come out now.” He said and I had no other choice but to do as he’d said.The one thing my father hated was repeating himself again and again. Slowly I stepped out from where I was hiding with my head down, I didn’t want to look at him.“What were you doing there Mariana?” He asked. But I kept my mouth shut, at that point the idea of telling him to take me to the park didn’t sound as good as it did before.“I’m sorry father,
Maria.I felt satisfied, content, and happy as I lay on Luciano’s body, his hand wrapped securely around my waist while I listened to the sound of his heart beating.Everything that had just happened still feel unreal to me but his constant reminder while he fucked the hell out of me reassured me he meant it. He loves me.I never thought he would ever reciprocate my feelings, I never thought he would love me as much as I did but here we are.Luciano's hand rubbed around my waist and then moved up to my back.I let out a relaxed sigh as I pulled into his warmth more, I could spend the whole day sleeping on his chest while I listened to his heart beating.He’s mine now. I can’t believe I can call him mine now.“What are you thinking about?” He asked, pulling me out of my wonderful thoughts.“How…. unreal…. this is.” I answered with my head still on his chest.“It isn’t unreal Mariana. I felt the same way too back then because I thought I was incapable of feeling but now I do believe. I
Luciano. My heart was racing, aching with a sharp pain that shot through my entire body. I groaned aloud, attempting to sit up but instead falling back to the cold, damp floor. My palms pressed against the cold concrete as I closed my eyes, grimacing in agony. I refused to cry. To shed a single tear would be to admit defeat, to give in to those bastards. I would never show them weakness. "Brother." I turned my head towards the other side of the room, forcing my eyes to adjust to the darkness. One would think I would have grown accustomed to it after all these years of staying here. My brother. He's the only thing keeping me sane in this cold, desolate prison. The only thing that gives me hope for another day and a chance to escape. "Are you alright?" His voice shook due to how cold the room was. I ground my teeth together, holding back a sigh. "I'm fine. Just a minor pain." I bit my tongue to keep from making any more noise. "Are you sure? The torture lasted longer today." Hi...
