Seraphina"Is she up?""Let's just wake her up. He needs her.""Fucking bitch, got my brother shot.""Mind your language, Anna." The brothers bickered back and forth. "Whatever."I peeled my eyes open, only to find them surrounding the bed. "The fuck, do you want?" I groggily asked, lifting myself up.Hold the fuck on--- what am I doing in a bed? Fuck you Cyrus for placing me here.Honestly, floor would have been better."Are you even listening?" I tilted my neck towards an annoyed looking Savio. "Huh?""Enrico asked you something." He muttered and his gaze flickered downwards. Following his line of sight, I saw dried red all over my shirt. "Did your stitches open?" Enrico's gruff voice entered my ears.I shook my head and looked straight at him. "No. From before." He gave me a stiff nod and added, "I'd like your help.""With what?""Your blood." His words froze my movements and the flashback crossed infront of my eyes.He saved me. But why? Doesn't he hate me? But who was the one, w
Seraphina"Are you gonna stand there all day like a statue or do you need a permission slip to leave?"In response, he silently stared at me, as if he calculated the number of differences we twins had. "Suit yourself." I rolled my eyes and went to grab my phone from the study table.Grabbing the phone within my hand, I scrolled down a couple of messages which were work related, some were telling me that the shipments were successfully delivered to the other gangs; one of the men died during a sinister kill and much more.I turned around to see him but found the entrance empty.I shrugged and walked to my closet. Clutching a few fresh pieces, I strided towards the bathroom.Discarding my bloodied clothes, I wore the new ones hastily, not caring if the wound hurt or not.Turning on the tap, I splashed a handful of water on my face to get rid of the redness around my eyes. The skin around my eyes was swollen and red. "Why the fuck did I even cry for them? They don't fucking deserve it."
SeraphinaSometimes there's nothing to say.Sometimes words will only clutter a space already filled with an unpleasant truth.The blood pumped from my arteries to his. Hot and angry, but all I could do was stay calm in this suffocating silence.Enrico and the others had left the room a few minutes back, to tend some work and they hadn't made an appearance since then.And here I was sitting next to his bed with a needle pricked in my skin. How fun-fucking-tastic. I let out a shaky breath and ran my unoccupied hand through my hair. Some things never change, afterall. We both craved silence and yet his uneasy face wanted to utter many distorted words."Spit it out, already." I said.This uneasy atmosphere churned my insides and the fact I was fed with this everyday drama. "You didn't have too." He throatily rasped out but his voice still held that dull coldness and dominance which made people quiver in his presence. "Trust me, I never wanted too." I shrugged, leaning back on the chair t
Seraphina"You knew?"I shrug and look away. "A dumb person could have known as well." His heated gaze penetrated in the side of my face and I somewhat felt cold. "Were you pretending?""What makes you say that?"I turned my face and met his gaze.We both had the same color but mine had turned colder with time. The warmth within them was long gone. His lips parted as he searched something, anything, opting to stay silent as ever.I cocked a brow. "Take a picture, it will last longer.""How were you all these years?" He blurted out while redness creeped up his ears and my other brow joined the already arched one. To be very honest I wasn't expecting him to ask such a question, not after what happened."You damn amuse me every single time, Agostino." My lips curled up in a ghostly smirk. The Capo was clearly embarrassed. "How sensitive of you to ask me about my well-being." I chuckled and shook my head.Something about him was off. He was here, willingly talking to me and I had my own
Agostino stared at the girl who was pressed against his chest.Her eyelids were swollen shut and those cold sapphires were hidden behind. Something shifted in his gut and deep down he wanted to see her orbs once again."Enrico, take her to her room." He ordered, but the sentence went deaf on Enrico's ears.Enrico didn't want to pick her up let alone touch her, afterall her whole soul was bathed in his father's blood and now Agostino's too. "You could just keep her here and I'm sure, when she'll wake up, she'll leave by herself." Sienna muttered, giving them a suggestion. Everyone, nodded however this didn't sit right with Agostino."Leave, all of you." He ordered."But Tino, why?"He gave one dark look, almost telling them---'get-the-fuck-out-or-I'll-throw-you-myself.'Slowly, one by one everyone left the room except Leonid. "She does resemble him in the most unique ways." The tone of his voice was unknown.Agostino agreed. She did infact had the most resemblance to their father. She
SeraphinaI jolted up, awake.Sweat dripping down on my cheeks as I tried to slow my breathing down. My hands shook and my body violently trembled. I closed my eyelids, mumbling the count from ten to zero.I was terrified. I was scared. I was...not myself anymore.Fuck, nightmares. The memory of the recent nightmare flashed infront of my eyes and I once again felt like dying.Those men had drilled fear within me in the most worst ways specially Retainer's boss, Ricardo Lopez---he, was a ruthless, cold and dangerous man. Not many knew his name, only some, which included me as well, afterall I was his most prized possession of all. The type where you'll go to extreme lengths just to make a human submissive and a machine killer.I---Seraphina, had forgotten my own name when I was first shipped to his organization. It was erased from my mind, slowly through high voltage electric shocks but my photogenic memory remembered the hate I held for my whole name, so I never submitted to them and
SeraphinaThree words; I hate school.Is school even likable? No, yuck, ew. It would be better if I stayed in the bed, all day.But here I am, sitting in between Rosario and Raffaello, waiting for Sienna to come down. I swear that girl takes too much time to get ready. And to put a cherry on top, Vlad will be joining us, because apparently he failed a grade and is being pushed back by the principal---and the funny things is, 'the money' can't help him this time."Dude, you'll sure have to work hard this time." Savio let out a throaty chuckle. "Only if he starts taking his studies seriously." Leonid grumbled from the living room."Dad, it's you who always travel from one place to another and then you want me to study? Heavens, no. I can't focus." Vlad rasped, his morning voice deep and husky."So this is why you all were coming here for? To make him study?" Vito mocked, followed by little laughs all around.Even I bit my inner cheek to stop the threatening laugh."Shut up." Vlad grunte
Seraphina"He doesn't look from our school." Kyle stated the obvious."Yeah, but he looks friends with Di Modica brothers.'' Helen shrugged and sat down, turning towards me. "You know?"I leaned back while crossing my arms under my chest. "Vlad Kozlov.""Fuck, even the name sounds hot." Lucy replied, inching forward. I nonchalantly scoffed. "Sounds alright to me.""Girl, you're weird if you don't find him hot. Look, every girl here is practically drooling over him, including me." Helen narrowed her eyes and I simply followed her gaze to find, she was accurate.Not gonna lie, every girl had their eyes set on him. Even when he widened his stance and took off his shirt, to reveal his muscular body underneath and if I ever to say then Helen was probably more then right. The girls instantly screamed and gasped, while mumbling a few curses here and there.The man was giving them a free show and he was probably enjoying it, even Sienna had her orbs fixed on his bulky inked arms. He definitel
