Chapter X: Mission

Practiced, gloved hands slid the clip into the chamber, gaze on the men in front of him as he loaded the weapon and tucked it into his waist band, grabbing a dagger from the table in front of him as his hazel eyes roamed over the features of the grim-faced men in front of him.“The plan is simple,” Marco spoke to them, his voice ringing in the silent room. “Piero will take Salvatore to Jayson, allowing the American to believe he was won. But he hasn’t. We still have a card up our sleeves,”“Our first task is to get in position and take out all the sentries the Leone Mafia has stationed around the warehouse. And then we will wait for the signal,”“What would the signal be?” One of the men asked.“Piero shooting one of the guards,” Tazio informed beside the heir, dressed in a two-piece black suit, his ex

Chapter XI: Last Straw

“Your kids are hilarious,” Marco spoke to the comatose body of his sister, leaning back in his seat with his hands stuffed into his jean’s pockets. “They don’t talk too well yet, but they’re hilarious babies. You can see they get their weirdness from you,” He chuckled breathlessly, his eyes stinging to see the unresponsiveness of her figure and swallowed the lump forming in his throat.“You know, Reena,” He cleared his throat and sat straight while rubbing a hand over his face. “I met this girl, a girl I really like after the whole Haruhi-fiasco,” His voice diminished to a whisper as he drew circles on the sheets, bushing down at the tiles.“Her name is S-” His words froze as he looked up and caught sight of his parents standing tense before the doctor, his father’s teeth gritted and fists clenched to his side.

Chapter XII: Human

Marco’s eyes snapped open in the darkness, his chest heavy as his senses were muddled, unable to comprehend where he was. The hospital is never this dark, he thought to himself as he rolled onto his back, registering the soft sheets beneath his back. Blinking away dizziness, he struggled to breathe before his gaze was redirected to the movement beside him. Holding his breath to think that he had indulged in old habits.Turning to look at the other person, he heaved a breath to notice it being Sofia, all the memories resurfacing. And along with that, came the burning of his chest.With trembling fingers, he played with the beads on his wrist, trying to give himself the strength to keep it together.Picking up his phone from the side table, he told himself it was time to get back to the hospital. Pushing the sheets off him, he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the hem of the curtain

Chapter XIII: Losing hope

“I’ve lost all hope, Sofia,” Marco murmured dejectedly, rubbing a hand over his forehead as he drooped over the counter. Sofia’s throat tightening to see his stare on the glass of bourbon and ice. “It’s a failed battle,”Hearing him of all people say that forced an acidic taste to infiltrate her mouth, her fingers tightening around the glass before she put it down beside her. Steeling herself to grab his face and maybe slap some sense into him. But before she could even indulge in such insolence, he continued speaking.“It’s funny,” He chuckled humorlessly. “Salvatore helped me through hell, through Haruhi’s deception, and every shit storm that hit me when I tried to build myself from the ground up. Without fail. And I promised him, I promised to help him through his troubles, and I can’t even

Chapter XIV: Breathless

Marco sat motionless in one of the waiting chairs, his arms crossed over his chest and his trembling fingers bunched into fists as he reminded himself to inhale and then exhale. Knowing that with the current predicament heavy in the air, he had the tendency to forget breathing.He couldn’t believe his own eyes, staring back at the red inflamed word: Operation.Just three days ago – maybe more, maybe less – he had broken down and poured out to Sofia how everything was affecting him, how he had lost hope and believed that he would lose his brother. Now today, he sat outside the operation theater, with Salvatore inside on the slab and a team of the best physicians transplanting a heart into his chest.At the realization of is brother getting a heart, he forced down the laugh that bubbled inside him and instead focused his attention on those around him.

Chapter XV: Alcuri

It had been a little over a week since Marco had come back to the apartment. Up until Salvatore got discharged he was in the estate, but Sofia couldn't wait for him to be back in the apartment. Finding his constant visits and the discovery of his belongings rather endearing; he even asked her to come and help him pack up from his room in the estate. Sofia would never admit it, but she couldn't stop the relief from flooding her to know that he was back in the same vicinity as her, and now she could actually keep an eye on his recovery process.It came as no surprise to her that the Regnante family would be attending psychiatric therapy, the two years had been hell on all of them and left them traumatized for various reasons.But they wouldn't be starting until February, all of them needing some time on their own to recover.Even now, Sofia lay with her head prop

Chapter XVI: "Forgive me,"

“I’m off to work,” Sofia hoisted her laptop bag onto her shoulder, biting back the smile to see Marco dropping over the counter, his hair on edge and his eyes closed while he munched on the pastry in hand. “I’ll be back by five-thirty and I’ll let you know if I’m going out with friends,” She kissed the top of his head as he hummed in acknowledgment with half-lidded eyes.Marco had had no plans of being up at this ungodly hour, he didn’t have any plans of being up before midday, but when the blonde had shifted out of his sleeping hold, his body had instantly felt the lack of warmth and jolted awake. His mind still lagging behind from his person’s conscious state. As compensation for the wake-up call, Sofia made him breakfast, which is why he was grazing at the speed of a snail with his eyes closed.“Bye,” She waved to his figure and stepped out w

Chapter XVII: Rebound

Sofia’s legs were draped over Marco’s, the man lying on his back with his face turned to her while she was curled to her side, softly rubbing small circles on his chest with her fingertips. Marco’s eyes were closed, his breathing soft with a hand on his stomach, the other resting lazily on her thigh. The back and forth motion of his thumb over the silk material being the only indicator of him being awake.Humming to herself, Sofia shuffled closer and cupped the side of his face into her hand, rubbing her thumb over his cheekbone as Marco opened his eyes to look at her from between his lashes. Giving her a soft smile at the gesture, he placed a kiss on the inside of her palm before nuzzling into her warmth, a chuckle rumbling through his chest.“How’d it go?” Sofia murmured hardly above a whisper, shifting closer when Marco moved to be on his side, draping an arm across her side an

Chapter XVIII: "Marry me,"

  6 years laterThe moon rose high in the sky, bathing the dark backdrop in an ethereal glow as the white stars sparkled across the black canvas. The light pooled in through the window, illuminating Marco’s figure standing over a cot and patting the chest of the little boy before him. The three-year-old squirming under the covers and trying to kick them off, completely ignorant to the cold outside.“Demetrio,” Marco sighed and tucked covers around him. “Come on, buddy. Don’t be like this,”The boy only squirmed in response, the older man rubbing a hand over his fo

Chapter XIX: St. Petersburg

The winter sunlight filtered in through the open curtains, bathing the lounge in a warmth that had both inhabitants enjoying it on the lounge. Marco sat on the sofa, a file in hand with Sofia’s head in his lap and her focus on the booklet of questions on her thighs and scribbling on the pages.Soft music swimming through the apartment as the couple enjoyed the soothing Saturday morning.Marco combed his fingers through her golden tresses as he read the words before him, stopping his gesture of affection when Sofia’s fingers bumped against his when she scratched at her head. Redirecting his gaze at the touch, he watched his wife rest the pages on her thighs and pick up the calculator on her chest, muttering under her breath as she typed on the keys, picking up the booklet again before scribbling at the page. Chuckling under his breath, Marco returned his gaze to the file in his hand and resumed combing hi
