Lucia - Hurt And Alone

The wedding is truly amazing. So many people come and speak to me, some I remember from them coming to the house with gifts, and some I haven’t met before.It’s clear many know I am Ciraulo, many gawp at the pendent in my hair, and it becomes the topic of conversation constantly. I feel this was Caiu’s plan.Announce I am his blood by having me wear this, it seems to be working. Marco is constantly explaining the connection, and how Caiu is my grandfather. To me, he is just an old man, the main Don, the head of the Cosa Nostra.Yet in blood, he’s my grandfather. Nothing can change that. Marco stuck to his promise, he hasn’t left my side since the moment I met him on the alter. If people ask to speak to him, he tells them tomorrow.Most have listened, and a few have complained. Marco asked if it was appropriate for him to go to their wedding and request to talk business. It quickly had them agreeing to wait. I introduced Marco to some of the Ciraulo family, who he didn’t personally kno

Marco - Painful

I walked out of that room hearing her screams and cries, and left my heart with her. Even leaving it there though did nothing to help hide the pain. Pain from knowing I caused her to be upset, and be hurt. Pain from knowing I may never see her again. Stepping into the car I close the door.“You good?” Lorenzo asks and they all look at me. I give a quick nod when in reality I’m not. The drive there is silent, and I try to push everything down, but for some reason, with the feelings being for her, I can’t.They are boiling over the edge, which isn’t good. I know somewhere inside of her she will forgive me if I return, and even if I don’t. I don’t think I will ever forgive myself for hurting her. Just hours ago, I promised never to lie or hurt her, and I failed. I had to, though, as failing to protect her is far worse.Sitting on the plane, I take out my phone and pull up the video. My eyes watch her. She’s still fighting to get out, and the whole place is trashed. I should be there.“Pu

Lucia - Falling Hard

I don’t know how long I am in the room before the door opens.“Mrs Pesci.”“Fuck you, Hugh!” Standing up, I walk through the house to the office. Alice, Iz and Felicity watch me as I storm into the office. Hugh follows behind.Sitting, I go through everything. I can’t just do nothing.“What are you looking for, Mrs Pesci?”“Hugh, don’t.” He nods and stands quietly, after ten minutes I find what I need. Using the office phone, I dial the phone and listen to it ringing.“Marco, should you not be on a plane by now?”“It’s Lucia.”“Lucia. Beautiful wedding, sí? I saw pictures, the dress was perfect.”“Are you fucking joking? I’m not calling to chat about my wedding. Why did Marco leave me to come to you?”The line goes quiet.“We have some business to sort.”My body shakes.“Mrs Pesci, you shouldn’t...” I glare at Hugh, and he closes his mouth.“Business? What sort of business Caiu?”“Personal business, dear Lucia.”“Don’t hurt him.” My voice breaks.“I don’t plan to, Lucia.”Plan to? “Pr

Marco - Home

After I took the cigar, Caiu called in the family, his and mine. Something tells me he knew they would come, and he wanted them here as well. I underestimated all this, I got everything wrong. If I had known I would be going home to Lucia, I would have happily told her I was leaving.It was the fear of the unknown that made me hide it. I watched both families walk in, their eyes on me, and the cigar and I could see their questions. Then it was silence when Caiu announced to his kids they were under me, and from now on they took my orders.You would hear a pin drop with how deathly quiet it went. Caiu quickly explained that he himself would be contacting people and ensuring they knew my orders were the ones to follow, even after his death. He said it in a way that made his own children realise they couldn’t go behind his back once he died.I have a month. One month to enjoy my marriage to Lucia, then things get busy as that is the moment he steps down and passes everything to me. At le

Lucia - Hurting

I watched him walk away and wanted to chase after him but I didn’t and it tore me apart. Instantly I regretted it, but I’m still so fucking angry at him for doing it. For choosing and ignoring my choice.Right now, I don’t feel ready to forgive him. No matter how much I missed him, I can’t just ignore he did that. I can’t ignore the fact he locked me in there and had them keep me there until he had left.Staying sat on the sofa, at least an hour passes. I’m torn between wanting to go to him and wanting to lock myself away. I’m scared if I give in to him too quickly next time he won’t even consider me when it comes to walking away.“Lucia.” I don’t look up. “How can this be sorted if you won’t even look at me?”Turning, I face him.“Now, can you talk, please?”“I don’t want to Marco.” I glance back down.“What did I do so fucking wrong, tell me!” His words are loud.“You lied to me, for days you kept it hidden you were going to leave. Then, rather than just spending that night with me

Lucia - Settled

It’s been a year, and so much changed. We now have our daughter. With my legs crossed, I lean forward, my eyes taking in the words on the screen. So much needed to be answered from my mother and Rocco’s relationship.It turns out Rocco is a fucking pro at hiding things. It’s taken a year, but all those secret messages, letters and pictures are now in front of me. Marco was wrong when he thought Rocco didn’t know about me. He did.The only reason things went so badly for me was because he kept it hidden. He died, and that meant he wasn’t still having an affair with my mother and getting updates.From everything I have seen and read so far, it’s clear that he loved my mum. He didn’t consider his death, however. While my mother and I were safe with him alive, it’s clear once he died, that ended. It’s clear my mother had been insistent that I was kept a secret and that no one would know the truth.I discovered Rocco was paying my mum far more than her job was worth. The numbers don’t matc

Lorenzo's Story

Please note, from this point forward, it is Lorenzo's story. Then it continues into Dario's I hope you have enjoyed reading Lucia and Marcos's story. As you have read, Marco's is a similar theme, with some of the same trigger warnings. Lorenzo's story also features alcohol abuse, sex, alcohol and fighting used as a coping vice. Lorenzo's story also features many flashbacks where he remembers his childhood and his mother's abuse. This story, like Lucia's is not a fade to black story. So some scenes may be hard to read. So consider this before beginning to read it. Thank you for reading Marco's story, now let's find out how Alice and Lorenzo began.

Lorenzo - Five Years Ealier

I wake up in an unfamiliar room. A hotel room, I glance around but don't see a woman. Typically, I use hotels with a woman, so where is she? My mind fights to remember last night. I vaguely remember her, I think. I know I wanted her more than anyone ever before.Now, though, it's blank. Nothing at all comes to me. I can't even remember the first drink, let alone fucking someone. I glance towards the bin and see the used condoms. I fucked her. A lot, apparently, I can't remember that. I fight with my own mind to remember what I did last night. I fail.Usually, I leave before they wake, not the other way around. I stayed, I remember I stayed because I liked her. God, I am so fucked I can't remember shit. Getting showered and throwing on last night's clothes, I leave. My mind is focused on who it was, trying to remember.I know I shouldn't drink so much, but it's either drink, fight or fuck, and apparently, yesterday, I did all three, which is impressive. Stepping inside the house, I smi

Alice - Two Months Before

Life can't possibly get any more shit. I look around the table, and Harry laughs, his eyes coming to me, and I look away from him. Things have never been the same since that day.He destroyed this circle of friends. I can't speak up. He's a vile man. I miss Kane. Jacob has blocked me from seeing him again today. He's using his power and money to keep me right where he wants me.Weak, with no control."Are you joining us?" I look up, confused. Jane laughs. "We're going through to the other bar. Do you fancy joining us?""Who is 'we'?" I might just skip tonight now."Me, Callum and Paul." Well, if Harry isn't going, hell yes."Sure, let's go." I stand, and we leave. Getting to the bar, I order a drink. Sitting with Jane, we talk. I wish I could tell her about Jacob, about my son, but I can't.I will never see Kane again if Jacob finds out I have told anyone. We sit and drink, having a laugh. Walking to the bar, I lean over and wait."Hey." Turning, I look behind me. Fuck me, of course,

Lorenzo - Apology

TodayI step in through the door and see her. She's here, in my house? I look at Harry and the others and realise Alice is the maid of honour. I'm not sure that's a good thing.Walking into the office, I sit down."Alice?" I look at Marco."What about her?" He turns to me. "Oh fuck, what have you done?""Nothing, okay, something. A warning as well, I've fucked her."Marco groans. "This is going to blow up. Just make sure you fix shit before the wedding."I can't blame him for worrying, his wedding is in a week, and I just announced I fucked the maid of honour. "I will, I remembered when I had slept with her, so I will apologise.""Do more than apologise, Lorenzo. Make sure you say it like you mean it; don't make it a joke."I nod, accepting his answer. "What's the plan for Harry?" I know he is leaving it."Still debating that topic. I wanted to leave it, but we uncovered more, so I will watch and see how he behaves with her when I'm not there." Sitting, he talks to us about the inform
