All Chapters of METANOIA: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER ONE"Your birthday is next week, what are you going to do?" my younger brother, Gabriel, asks as he pours a bag of Cheetos into his mouth all of us staring at the movie playing on the large screen. And by all of us I mean myself, Gabriel and Ivan- my older brother's best friend."I do not plan on doing anything. I am turning twenty, no big deal" I shrugged as I put a spoonful of nutella into my mouth. "That thing is going to give you serious stomach pain and you will be writhing in pain." Ivan, my brothers best friend scolded me as he eyed the jar in my hands. He was the one that literally made me obsessed with it. I rolled my eyes, putting another spoonful of nutella into my mouth, "mind your business.""We could go to the club?" Ivan suggested as he stood up from the couch beside my brother and then sat beside me. I gave him the side eye as he lifted my blanket and then extending it on his thigh. "What are you doing here?""Sitting near my favourite Bianchi sibling of cou

CHAPTER 3It is evening already and I am preparing to go to the club like we have all planned , when a knock sounded on my door. "Come in." I called out as I applied my mascara gently onto my face. Gabriel entered into my room, one hand behind his back, a smile on his face. "I come bearing gifts." He grinned as he revealed what he was holding behind his back. I collected the black cloth from him but felt something familiar in it. I opened it and it was a set of knives. Three black knives with my name engraved on each handle ranging in sizes.I ran my hand through it, a smile on my face as I picked one up and threw it against my door. "Woah, easy there." He chuckled nervously. "Sorry, I'm just excited." I squealed."So, I'll take it that that means you love it?" I nodded repeatedly a grin on my face as I went to pick back the knife I threw at the door, running my hand over the several knife marks that are practically decorating the door now."Thank you." I grinned, placing it ba

CHAPTER FIVEBy the time we got to the airport I was almost dozing off, we brought out our bags and made our way to the jet that was waiting for us already, I thought we were going to take a commercial plane actually. Fun fact, I have actually never been out of the country before, and one night myself and Ivan just caught ourselves talking about different things. He asked if I could travel anywhere where would it be and without thinking so much, I answered, "Greece." "Why Greece?" He asked. I shrugged, "No particular reason. Just Greece." "Okay, then Greece it is." He replied and not knowing what that meant I decided to keep quiet as we continued to stargaze. But now, I do understand what he meant by that. "You tired?" He nudged me with my duffel bag in his hand. "A little." I wriggled a yawn. "It's okay. You can take a nap when we take our seat." I gazed around the inside of the plane im awe, everywhere was furnished perfectly and it was literally shiny, I swear. I do come fr

CHAPTER 7After spending about half an hour at the party, Ivan practically dragged me out of the house, saying he needed his sleep. That was an obvious lie, the guy never sleeps. Always works like a maniac, just like my elder brother.Immediately after entering the house, Ivan locked the door and made sure it was properly locked before we both went upstairs to where the bedroom is. I dropped myself on the bed with a loud grunt. "Do you need to use the shower before me?" he asked as he removed his shoes and placed them neatly beside the bed."No. It's okay, you go in first." I replied but my voice came out muffled since I was face flat on the bed. I heard him chuckle before entering into the bathroom and then after some minutes the shower started running. I was almost about to fall asleep when an idea popped into my head. I quickly stood up from the bed, and undressed, picked up a white towel, wrapping it around my body. I mentally prepared myself for what I was about to do. I mean sh

CHAPTER 9My father called an emergency meeting with the rest of the people working with him and presently the house is filled with a whole lot of people wearing black suits and black tie. My father's main guards made sure none of the other people wandered into the main house but still, my personal guard won't stop being a pain in the ass, "Miss Bianchi, I think it is advisable for you to be in your room at this time of the day." he said in a monotone voice as he followed me behind my back. Copper is a tall bulky white man, with a bald head and he is always on a suit with sunglasses at all times, mainly when we are outside."I am perfectly fine and I can take care of myself if something happens," he grunts, "and I am sure nothing will happen." I looked back at and gave him a smile as I opened the refrigerator and poured myself a cup of water."Besides, you do know I know how to fight right?""Yeah, but I do not think you would be able to take two large men of my size on your own."I
