“What do you think about this? And this one; right here?” Alfonso asked, as he made his way through the various shops in the mall. “Bet, you’d like this. Since Sia is a huge of it.” He strolled in one of the expensive outlets which only heightened Seraphina’s anxiety. Sure, she had lots of money stacked in her account by fights and bounties but she was never the one to buy highly expensive stuff and even if she accidentally did? her stepfather would have beated her to pulp.“Welcome to Oz and Pinks. What would you like to buy today, sir?” One of the workers came forward with a seductive smile latched on her face.He gave her a vague nod and went busking all around the pile of dresses.The worker had seen his sister most of the time but never him. It only made her more over conscious. “He is so damn fine and the best part? richness drops from every angle.” Another women whispered to one of the girls who absentmindedly nodded, there eyes fixed on the fine specimen.Seraphina internally
“I’m allergic to eggs.”The words rolled out of Seraphina’s mouth before she decipher anything.The three older men stilled at her confession.Enrico momentarily glanced at her before his orbs darted to the food infront of him.“How the hell am I supposed to know that?” The older brother hissed at the younger twin who shrugged, not caring if the dominating man was drilling holes within her head. “And you ate when he gave it to you? What the fuck?” Alfonso cursed loudly.His gaze flickered to Agostino who masked his expressions as always.“Do you wish to die? For hell sakes.” He painfully gritted out but mentally? he was blaming himself, afterall he was the one to provide the food to her.“So what and who even cares? I can manage much more. But for now I ain’t in the mood to go to the hospital.” Her calm voice pierced through the midst whilst she sipped on her morning coffee.Her patience was already running low due to Retainer’s call and for now she wasn't in the mood to be all chatty
“In this world, one thing that matters the most is love. One who can give the love or reciprocate it back, is known to be strong. Why? because love asks for sacrifice. A sacrifice which isn’t measured at any cost.”The teacher concluded her lesson as the bell rang above her head indicating that the class was finally over.Seraphina grabbed her bag and hastily walked out towards the cafeteria.The first half of the school had went by pretty fine. Sienna and her minions seemed to avoid her at every cost which made Seraphina sigh in relief because after what happened at the breakfast had badly affected her mind.“Here! Seraphina.” Helen shouted from the corner where the group sat.Her icy orbs flickered at their table and she gave them a stern nod.Her feet led her towards the group with a small smile resting on her face but was soon replaced with a sour expression when she was stopped by none other then Raffaello who stood infront of her with his hands wrapped on his muscular chest. “Do
“And why would I tell you?” Seraphina leaned back on the comfortable puffy red couch with both of her brows arched at Cyrus who gave her a blank look. “Cuz, I’m your right hand and your brother." She sighed and relaxed her stern expression. A huff left her mouth at the mention of ‘brother’. They say biological blood is thicker but blood isn’t always family. Its the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept your flaws and for who you really are. The ones who would do anything to see the smile your face. And love you no matter what. “Boss, just know that we are here to listen. You can vent out, if anything is bothering you. And by the expression on your face, it does seem you’ve had it rough here.” Giovanni mumbled, a ghost smile appearing on his lips. Seraphina knew Giovanni since she was 11. He was a year older than her. He had lived with an abusive father but soon after he was kicked out of the house due to a disgusting misconception. Gio resided in an unk
“How the hell am I supposed to solve this?”“I don’t know, ask the genius Fulvio.” Rosario shrugged, leaning back on the leather couch, his eyes latched to his phone.“Definitely no. If he is gonna start explaining then this world will end.” Savio grumbled and let out a loud deep sound. “Hush down bro, you’re gonna injure my ears.” Vito appeared from the kitchen while stating the obvious facts.“Shut it, kid.” Enrico followed his steps and slapped Savio on the back of the head. “The fuck is wrong with you all? Can’t you see my depressed state?” Savio growled out and placed his head on the crystal table with a not so saddened expression.“Who told you to take Applied Mathematics as your major?” Enrico asked taking a place next to Vito. “His dumb brain as usual.” Rosario replied, earning light chuckles from the brothers.He tilted his head with a huff, “It’s not funny.”“Funny you can actually manage the branches of the tattoo shops you own.” Enrico gave him a known expression of apprec
Patience, trust and love; is what makes a family complete.People tend to forget these essential things if one does something wrong or gets falsely accused. The love and trust a human gives to another vanishes in a mere second.Are these emotions that weak to exist? To be honest no; the only thing that is weak, is-- belief. Belief to trust in your loved ones.“That handprint kinda suits you. Did it hurt? Did you feel that burn filled with hatred? Bet, yes. Don’t let it fade away, must be precious, no?” Sienna snickered as she walked past by Seraphina who was blankly staring at the food infront of her.Everyone deliberately had their dinner skipped leaving Vito, Sienna, Rosario and Seraphina on the dinner table. The miserable hour had passed by in a painful blur with none of the brothers talking instead Sienna told them about her day.“Lets go, Sia. It's way past bedtime.” Vito heaved a deep sigh as he grabbed her forearm. “But Vi-” He shook his head and dragged her away before she cou
Pain.That's what she felt right now.Even though she didn't give a fuck about her so called family but for her Agostino was different. He wasn't just a brother infact he was a friend, a cousin, a twin and most importantly a father figure.Her figure silently marched in the shadows until it halted just beside his side of the bed. Carefully crouching down, her knees met the smooth wooden flooring.Seraphina bit her lip as her throat enclosed when she saw him up close after so many years. Her sapphires burned with unshed tears."Nio..."The 16 year old girl gazed at his older brother with deep love.Suddenly, her brother's hand left Sienna's hair and limply fell beside him."Have you.. r-replaced me?" Her body shivered as her hand slowly crawled towards his.Inhaling a deep breath, she slowly touched his hand which had implemented a lingering sensation on her cheek. Seraphina grabbed his index finger in her palm, just like the way she used to when she was a little kid."I d-didn't do it
This life is quite unexpected for some.The eighty percent population lives with love and care, but the other twenty percent? they just want the days to pass without any emotion. They are fine, as always. But deep down? they suffer from mental sickness which leads them to take their own very life.They just stop caring at one point. Numbness, emptiness is what they feel. Nothing more, nothing less.After the depressing encounter with Agostino, Seraphina had ran to the indoor pool area which was usually secluded at night.She crouched down and sat on the floor with her feet dangling in the refreshing cold water."Promise, I won't let you down.." Her words echoed in the open area as she lightly chuckled.The past memories played within her mind as a broken record only for her to feel the pain on her numb body."Miserable, pathetic." The lady hissed at her child who was lying in her very own blood. The white laced frock she wore for her mother was now drenched in the red. "Look at you,
