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

    SeraphinaThe basketball practice had ended a few moments ago and now we were back in the class, listening to teacher mutter a few things which definitely went flying above my head."I believe, I asked you a question, Miss Modica. When did the independence took place? And why?"My head ever so slightly tilted and my eyes zeroed on her lips. What the fuck was she even going on about?When I didn't answer, she simply said. "Detention, after class, tomorrow." The class snickered and so did the ultimate devil.I loosely shrugged, before sitting down on my seat."You knew but didn't answer." Lucy stated. I turned in my chair, to give her my attention. "I didn't because I suck at studies."Her tongue softly clicked, careful enough not to draw in any unwanted attention, specially the teacher's. "Liar."I half shrug and turn back towards the blackboard. Whatever, she wrote, was something I had studied before but honestly it didn't spark my interest a single bit.Either I was dumb or too dumb.

    Seraphina"Gossip?"I quirk my brow at the four faces, sitting infront of me."And what kind, care to elaborate." Helen wiggled her brows.Lucy turned towards her with an amuse look on her face. She placed her spoon back on the food tray. "So our little missy right here has an adorable fan." My brow further rose at her comment as I took a sip from the carbonated canned drink.Kyle and Lace abruptly froze. Their lips parted slightly and they both glanced at me, to which I just shrugged and casually kept on drinking. I'd say, best twin telepathy."Oh? And who is the lucky guy+?" Helen questioned with a smirk lingering on her face.Lucy returned the smirk of her own and she pointed her freshly manicured finger behind me.The three, followed her index. And to exaggerate, I must say they were surprised, even more than me. "Fuck, that guy?" Helen's smirk dropped and was replaced with a shock."Wait seriously?" Kyle questioned, his orbs shifting to mine. "He is your fan?" Before I could answ

    SeraphinaHave you ever been a little bothered by your life? Since I have. It was stupid of me to think that he would actually believe me.I scoff for the hundredth time."Why? He has such double standards." I place my hand on the marble isle and lean forward. "You seriously couldn't butter him up?" I mocked my scarred reflection in the mirror."That is why everyone runs over you. You are pathetic, weak and such a crybaby. Make yourself damn useful." I hissed as I pointed an index at the finger."Never let me test you again, never." My jaw clenched."Are you done, boss?"My orbs traveled to the standing intruders. "Did I ask you both, you could show your unappetizing faces?""Last time, I checked your twin right here was throwing flirty glances at me, as if she wanted to devour me." He smirked.I cocked my scarred brow. "I didn't knew her taste was that bad."His hand flew to his heart and he dramatically gasped. "Gio, she called me ugly. Ugly." He pouted."Cyrus, she is kinda right t

    SeraphinaI was shocked---scratch that, I felt hurt.Enrico dangerously glared at me.His hand tightened around my forearm. "Did you slap her?" He calmly asked, however I could feel the anger radiating out of him.I tilt my head and glance at Alfonso, whose eyes were fixed on my scar instead of Sienna's cheek."Yes or no?" He roughly shook me, diverting my attention back to him. "So what?" I questioned instead.His orbs darkened and his hand further tightened, almost cutting the blood supply. "Repeat.""And why would I do that?" I argued. If he thinks, he can make his way around with his words, then he is clearly wrong. I, Seraphina wasn't the one to bow down."Because i'm asking you to." He sneered."Enrico, stop." Alfonso came forward, placing his hand on his wrist which was securely holding me in place. "Why the fuck should I? Just because you feel sorry for her? Oh don't tell me you actually think this scar is real?" Enrico hissed, like an angry lion.Before Alfonso and I could sa

    SeraphinaRicardo Lopez.I wasn't scared. I used to convince myself that I wasn't.But now, after seeing him, right here infront of with the very same wicked and evil smirk, I couldn't help but shiver violently on the bed.This man had the aura of making people tremble, just like when Agostino had his blank expression on, just his was nastier."Bella, oh, Bella. Does it hurt?"My eye twitched.His concern was a facade.His words were fake.Ricardo Lopez was a literal fake, ass manipulator.I looked at the door, back at him and then again at the door. Cyrus, where are you?"He won't come, Bella," he declared, his smirk widening as he intook my blank expression and somehow he knew I wanted to ask the reason. "My men and him. A good combo don't you think, Bella?"I gathered my strength and finally muttered, "don't bring him into this mess.""But Bella, you were the one to bring him in the first place, si? Just like your other pests."I clutched the sheets, tightly."Don't do anything to

    SeraphinaShould I laugh? Or should I cry? Or maybe just act numb?Honestly, I didn't knew.The explanation was something my own personality couldn't figure out. Tears or joy? Heck, I never knew this was that complicated. But according to the psyche, first impressions are heart to change and this psyche was the only logic which never changed my opinion for Agostino. I did hate him, yes, that wasn't a question, but even in that hate, the happy moments with him during childhood never changed, no matter how much I tired to stain the colorful canvas with blood, darkness and black paint.I detested myself for it and honestly somehow it wasn'T an option, because denial was the only method to have my mental and psychological mind in good health.But now, after hearing him, my brain couldn't process the fact that he was here a minute ago, hugging me senselessly while repeating the, "I'm sorry," chant over and again,Enrico'S doctor personality took over him and he asked, does it hurt anywhere

    Seraphina"You shouldn't have riled him up like that." Two girls were hurdled against the metal bars whilst the other one was backed up in the wall, totally hidden by the shadows. "He isn't... kind." The one on the left spoke, her voice super cracky and shallow. "Code 1069, is right. You should have just tried to speak, Code 009."Code 009, looked up at the girls, staring at them blankly as ever.She couldn't stand their attitude. It wasn't the first time, they had tired to make her talk. Since the day they both---the new codes, had arrived in her cell a few months back, they had non-stopped asked her to escape the hell, but all she did was nod and shake. "Code 009, I know you have a name Seraphina and so do we. Maybe, we can try talking to each other without our code names and we'll tell you ours? But oh wait, let me tell you already, I'm Valerie, Valerie Kozlov, age 9." "And I'm Lola Pierce, age 15."Seraphina nodded, acknowledging their hard-work of coping up with her, because

    AgostinoThis world didn't play good.Not to us or anyone.If we turn soft-hearted the people around us tend to eat up our souls mentally and physically. And if we portray ourself as the strong ones, suddenly we become insanely bad.The pain, the torment, the hardships we endure in turning strong is discarded all of a sudden.Pathetic, ain't not?Life is just not fucking fair for us orphans. Everything for them is never given on the plate. The only way to go up is to fuck everyone and their fucking opinions.And right now, I just wanted to kill this, excuse of a human tied infront of me. But no, giving him a simple death would be a fucking heaven for him.I wasn't planning on giving him that peace.Grabbing the bucket from the side, I splashed the contents within it on his face, jolting him awake from his unconscious state."N-No, s-stop. Please.""Boss, he was the only one on site, barely alive. But he won't spill anything." One of my men spoke from behind me, his voice stoic and har

    Two povs in this chapter. 3rd and Enrico's."Nonno?" (Grandfather)"Where is she?"Alfonso arrived, grabbing Nonno's arm before he could rip the doors open, afterall he wanted to see his beloved granddaughter whom he hadn't seen in ages."She is in good hands. Don't worry Nonno.""Yeah, she'll be fine. Serio." Leonid assured him with a nod however the old man had other plans and this time no one would stop him.He straight went ahead to Agostino and before someone could mutter a word, he slapped him right across the cheek with force making his face fly towards the left.The atmosphere tensed and some of them silently gasped."You asshole of a son. How could you?""Jesus Serio. Stop." The elderly lady from behind shouted at him, before she came forward towards the two."You want me stop, Vermilia? No. I won't let this slide. Not this time, because I've had enough of their childish tantrums.""Nonno please, not right here." Alfonso quietly begged him to not cause a scene but the old man

    There are two povs here. To avoid confusion---there is written 'Agostino', it's the start of his pov. "Common, Seraphina. Wakeup."Agostino cradled her body close to his chest, as he barked orders in Italian."The car?!""Fuckers, shot the tires. I've called, to provide us a car asap." Leonid calmly stated, however the tension within them rose as he saw how she struggled to breathe."We don't have time, Leo. She'll fucking die." He hissed like a snake ready to pounce on him for delaying."2 minutes max."Thick worry surrounded the people as the time went by.The darkened alley was now slightly lit from the fire Agostino's men ignited.Others had been dragged away the scene, however Fulvio remained so did Vito, even when Agostino told them to leave, they didn't.Fulvio grabbed her shirt from the ground before coming forward. "Tie this around her wound.""Do it." Agostino ordered instead and he complied.Fulvio crouched, and slightly flinched at the sight. Her blood oozing from the thr

    SeraphinaOne thing I truly despised was standing in between two judgemental stares. If there was a way to get rid of this, I really could have dug my own grave down and hibernated like a snail in disguise."And you still are, a coward." I nonchalantly stated, not at all bothered to hear what he had to say.Fulvio glanced between us, confused. "Hold on, what is going on here?"My orbs diverted to him, shrugging. "I don't know, ask your little brother."Fulvio cocked his brow at Vito, waiting, so he could answer his unanswered questions.Vito ignored him entirely, keeping his gaze frozen at me. I crossed my arms under my chest. "What? Can't face your brother?"His eyes suddenly glistened and somehow my heart found it skipping a beat. "Will you forgive me?"I force out a laugh. "Forgive? And you? Aren't you a bit delusional?""I am no---""For fucks sake, tell me what is going on?!" Fulvio harshly cut him off. His anger was quite visible on his face, even a fat blue vein popped on his f

    Seraphina"And what do you mean by that?"I cross my arms over my chest as I scan his face looking for any emotions however he had none, just like Agostino---no, i'd say worse than that.Why was he even talking to me in the first place?Vlad leans back on the bench and shrugs. "Kinda felt like saying it."My eye lowered in confusion. This man clearly just stared, never once initiating a conversation with me, so why now?"Come straight to the point."He momentarily glanced at me before looking back the open ground. "Clever, yes?"I remained quiet and he inhaled a deep sigh. "Alright, yes. I do have a purpose.""Spill.""Giovanni and Cyrus, are your men right?"I chocked on my spit as my head whiplashed towards him. "W-What?""They are." He nods to himself as if my outburst completely made his hypothesis true.I swiftly shake my head. "No."His head turns ever so slightly with an amused hum."They are not." I pressed. However I knew he clearly knew I was lying on his face.He nods again
