~ RACHEL’S POV"Your mystery flower boy has done it," Rebecca says walking into the room"And what makes you think it’s a boy?" I ask sniffing the flowers. I love the smell of dahlias, so lovely and fruity; literally one of the reasons it’s my favorite flower. "It could be a girl you know," I say "Yeah, like a girl would send you flowers every day." She scoffs "You don’t know, maybe it’s a little girl that loves me so much and likes to send me flowers, unlike the best friend I have who never got me flowers," I say."My presence is way more important than a flower." She states. I wryly roll my eyes. Whenever we talk about the mysterious flower boy she always says that. "Whatever. So, Is the car ready?" I inquire. I am getting discharged today, I cannot be anymore happier. The past month has been nothing but a whole lot of stress and uncertainty. I just haven’t been comfortable around here and to be honest it’s not just because Richie is here or because the paparazzi have been on my
"Get up, get up, get up," Rebecca says pulling my arm and making me sit up. With a groan, I glare at her. This is the perfect time to miss the hospital, no one wakes me up this way."What do you want?" I groan slamming my head back on the pillow. "Come on, get up.""No," I say into the pillow. "Fine." She gives in and suddenly, she jumps into the bed and pulls me up to sit "I have good news.""What time is it?" I say rubbing my eyes. It seems a little dark to be morning. "Four am.""You’ve gotta be kidding me." I groan slamming back into the pillow."Come on, wake up this is important." She says With a sigh, I get up. I’m gonna kill Rebecca if this isn’t important "What? What is it?" I yawn."Take a guess." She says grinning "A guess? Girl, I thought you said it’s important.""It is now take a guess."I sigh. Seriously she wakes me up by four am and then asks me to take a guess? She’s gotta be kidding me."Take a guess." She repeats "You won a lottery or something?" I say the fi
It’s been a few days since I met Richie mostly because I haven’t left the house since that time. I am pretty grateful about that, mainly because I'm not sure how to act around him right now. Before, I always felt angry and felt like ruining his life in a way he that he will regret ever existing but now I don’t feel that way. Honestly, I don't even know how to feel. I am still hurt by his actions but I’m not as hurt as I was before. My emotions are all over the place and seeing him would only worsen matters because then, I wouldn’t know how to react and I will start feeling confused, anxious, and even a bit guilty about my feelings. I just think it’s best if I take some time to myself to figure out what I really want and need right now.I blow out a breath and try to push Richie out of my mind as I check my reflection using the full-length mirror in my room. I look a bit drained, probably because I haven’t been getting enough sleep, my messy bun seems to be a lot messy today but that’s
"I chose Rachel," I say. Rachel’s swollen eyes locks in mine almost immediately as I spoke. I see pain in her eyes and I feel it. I see how badly she is hurting and I sense it. Everything she is feeling felt like she shared it with me. I could feel everything in the depths of my being, like a whisper from my soul. She has a hint of shock lacing through her face but is suddenly covered with a small smile. It looked intense and probably forced but to me, it is magical because now she gets it; I mean every word I say to her. I once told her she’s mine to protect and this is the exact thing I’m doing; protecting her. My eyes still locked in hers an unfamiliar feeling flows through my veins. It feels good but at the same time strange m. Not the bad kind of strange but the good kind, the one that makes me smile and yearn to be close to her and comfort her. I could say this feeling is sympathy but I don’t think it is. Maybe it’s love- I don’t know. I’ve never fell in love before nor have
As we drive, I glance over at Richie, his gaze is fixed on the road and his expression is unreadable. We have been on the road for almost thirty minutes now, and I have no idea where we are headed. I try to ask Richie, but he just brushes me off, saying it’s better seen than heard. I still have no idea what that means but I know it gets me more worried.The silence between us is starting to get to me, and I can't help but feel a little anxious. I fold my hands in my lap as I twirl my thumbs around each other. I have never been this nervous before. My heart is beating as fast as it was earlier, I’ve known Richie for a long time now but this is the first time he’s ever spoken to me in such a profound tone, I have never seen him this serious before and that is the main reason why I agreed to come along with him, I have to see what he wanted to show me. A few minutes later, Richie pulls the car at a cemetery. I turn to look at him, confused and more than a little unnerved. "Why are we her
My eyes slowly begin to open as the morning light filter through the window. I groan sleepy, stretching my arms as a yawn escapes my mouth. I had a really good sleep last night. Richie and I crashed the night at a nearby hotel because it was raining, and heading back home would be a long journey since my apartment is miles away from the cemetery. Speaking of the cemetery, I cannot be grateful enough to Richie, It felt like a blessing to visit my mom. Her presence was divine and when I spoke to her, I felt at ease; something I haven’t felt for a really long time. You know that feeling when you thought you lost everything and then you realize you’re not alone; I felt it and I liked it. I guess when life throws a ball at you, you either dodge it or hold onto it. I held onto mine and I guess it’s not that heavy. Taking a deep breath, I take a moment to savor the feeling of being fully awake before I stretch again, feeling the stiffness in my muscles begins to fade away. I grab my phone f
I wake up to a sharp and intense pain in my stomach that makes me curl up in a ball. I groan feeling the pain getting worse. I release a heavy breath holding onto my stomach hoping the pain will go away but it doesn’t.Groaning, I turn around and I feel my stomach crumple painfully. My eyes shoot open and I immediately realize what it means. It’s that time of the month. "Oh shit!" I screech taking the covers off. I quickly grab my pantie, towel, and toiletries from the mini wardrobe before I head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I locked the bathroom door so Richie doesn’t get in, not that he’s done that before but I don’t want to take a risk.I so much hate this time of the month, I mean the whole deal about it is so stressful and exhausting. Not to mention, the annoying painful cramps, mood swings, flow, overflow, and worse, the stain. I just hate it, it’s too much to handle. I sometimes wish there was a way to make it easier, but I know that it's just something I have to deal
Next weekend comes as quickly as I had hoped. I am currently at the hotel where the ceremony will take place. Marta’s assistant; Layla is almost done with my makeup and I can’t wait for her to be done. I have been sitting in one place for over two hours all in the name of makeup. I told her I don’t want heavy makeup but still, she was taking so much time, I wonder how many hours she would have took if I had wanted heavy makeup."I’m almost done, just a touch of blush and we will be done." She says for the second time.I don’t say a word and I sigh relaxing my back on the chair. As I sit there, I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation building inside me. I've been looking forward to this weekend for so long, and now that it's finally here, I can hardly contain my excitement. Despite my eagerness to get started, I try to remain patient as Layla puts the finishing touches on my makeup. I don't want to rush her, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder how much longer it will ta

~ RICHIE’S POVI wake up to the same throbbing headache I feel every day. I groan, turning around, I lay on my stomach with the pillow covering my head. I know I shouldn’t be taking too much alcohol every day but I have no choice, it’s the one thing in my life that makes me feel better, the only thing that makes me sleep at night. Turning around, I begin to drown myself in the blissful sleep I badly need but the sun shines through my window and lands its ray directly on my face forbidding me from getting that sleep. I turn away from the ray of sunshine and try to sleep but it just didn’t happen. I release a groan. I guess I need something heavy to get me to sleep. I sit up from bed and stretch my arms and as a yawn escapes my mouth, I already feel like I’m going to hate this day like I do every single day. I turn around and grab my leftover bottle of whiskey. Taking a sip out of it, I feel a wave of nausea wash over me. I try to hold it back but just like every morning it defeated
My heart is pounding as I try to figure out who has spoken. I look around and see Alexander walking down the aisle. My face twisted in a look of total bewilderment and confusion. But then, suddenly, softens when I see a familiar face behind him. My heart stops for a moment as my balance loosens making me step back a little. My brain stops functioning momentarily and I feel like I’m losing my mind.No, It can’t be possible, my eyes must be deceiving me. He is not who I think he is. I feel my heart racing at a sudden speed as they walk closer to me. I take a complete look at him. My eyes bulge and my heart rate speeds up. "Da-dd?" I mumble, my voice trembling with emotion.His eyes meet mine and I see sadness and concern in them. "Delilah." He calls me by my first name, his voice filled with emotion."Ezra," Richie says, his voice filled with a profound weight. The sound reverberates in my mind, and I can sense the tension in the air. Suddenly, Papa's voice booms through the chaos, excl
~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie We’re getting married today and it feels so surreal. I never thought I’d be this lucky, but here we are, starting the rest of our lives together. It’s crazy how love works, isn't it? You were never the man of my dreams, yet my heart knew you were, all along.I find joy being with you. You’re where my heart belongs, my soul lies and without you, I’m incomplete. I love you so much. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle to become your wife. I wish I had the best words for you but unfortunately, all the best writers have already claimed them, but that’s okay because if our story was a novel, you’d be my favorite character. I love you and I will always will. ~ Love Rach.After writing the letter, I fold it and put it inside an envelope. I've been meaning to write something to Richie for a long time to express my deepest feelings to him. I'm so glad that I finally took the time to put my thoughts on paper and tell him
~ PAPA’S POVI push the door open and hear the familiar creak before shutting it behind me. The darkness of the room engulfs me, so I make my way forward and fumble for the light switch. Finally finding it, I flip it on and the first person I see is the man tied to a chair."Hello, old friend. [Ciao, vecchio amico.]" I say walking toward the table. I take my taser and check if it’s fully charged, once confirmed. I walk over to him, pull a chair, and sit in front of him.Releasing a deep breath I see how he’s sleeping peacefully as if nothing matters anymore. It’s almost like the world fades away around him and he worries. I hate to see him at peace, at least not when his daughter's life is about to crumble into pieces. It’s so not fair how is he sleeping peacefully on this uncomfortable chair while I can not sleep on the most comfortable bed ever. Life should not be this unfair, at least not to me. I am the Mafia King, I get whatever I want from whoever I want.I look between him and

~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie,I never thought I will feel anything for you other than hate. I thought my hatred for you will spread throughout my body and that I will only get joy when I see you in pain but now I know that’s just a phase. I cannot see you in any kind of suffering without my heart burning. You mean so much to me. You’re my heart, my soul, and everything that makes me happy. With you around, everything seems to be perfect even the worst things. I just want to let you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me but words keep failing me as I try to do that. You are the love of my entire existence, you made me realize I have more than just one purpose, and you've shown me more love than I ever could have imagined. You've filled every part of my heart and soul with your love, and I'm so grateful for every moment we spend together.From the bottom of my heart, Richie. I say that no matter what happens, what changes, I will always love you and I will always be there
