71|The Other Way Around
~Roman~
“What? I don’t understand.”
“Me either. They took me to an isolated facility in Virginia. That’s where they charged me with fucking lots of crimes I didn’t even commit. It’s a tale they made up to conceal the truth, and from what I know, they’ll let it play out as if I was killed in jail. Some riot.... who knows?”
She detached herself from my lap, refilling our goblets with wine, handing one to me as she repositioned her back against the couch. I followed suit, extending my legs beside her.
“This Dylan. How does he fit into this story? Isn’t he the one your dad was supposed to kill or is that just some made-up shit?” I hate the bitter taste of thinking that my team has been compromised. It me

~Roman~Betrayal. It’s worse than watching your loved one’s casket rolled down six feet under; crueler than taking a bullet for someone you care about; brutal than accepting torture for not singing your enemy’s song.

A Game With No Rules 73|Brother's Bond
~Roman~“What?” Rio asked, turning towards the fridge once again to grab another beer. “Cat got your tongue, or your tongue is still buried in Viviana’s pussy?”“Leave her out of this,” my molars grind.Rio huffed, shaking his head. For the first time, he averted his gaze from me and looked into the open window, pain washing over his face. “I trusted you,” he said. “I thought you were my saving grace when you saved me from Duarte’s cartel. Turns out, you were just like everyone, ready to use me for what I can do, for what I am.”“You know better than that, Rio. I might have withheld the truth from you, but I treated you as my brother from the beginning, protected you with my life.”
A Game With No Rules 74|Bottle of Beer
~Viviana~Throughout the entire week, I’ve looked forward to this day because I’ll see Roman again for another weekend getaway. I’ve been on edge since we parted on Sunday night. We exchanged messages and talked each night before we went to bed, but I could feel it in my bones; something was up with him.It’s Friday, and he was meant to pick me up from school after class. However, the moment I got a message from him saying he won’t be able to make it tonight, that unwanted gut feeling bloomed to a full-blown worry.I’ve been anxious all day. He hasn’t responded to any of my messages like he used to. This is so unlike him.After class, Alana and Kobe invited me to come to a party outside the campus. I didn’t really grasp the
A Game With No Rules 75|A Unique Mark
~Viviana~I want to be rude and tell her I’ve got nothing to say to her. My mind was already counting all the reasons Roman would lie to me about his whereabouts, and dealing with Lena’s tantrums was the last thing I needed.“Please,” she pressed, setting down the beer bottle on the Spanish Cedar countertop. Then I noticed the slight shaking of her hand, which compelled me to nod and agree with her request.I followed her out to the jam-packed pub, weaving through the lines of tables out to the chills of the autumn evening.We didn’t walk far from the building. Lena took me to the end of the parking lot, right where I parked my car. Taking notice of the parking lot for the first time, I realized how obvious that the car belonged to me. It st
A Game With No Rules 76|Cruelest Twist
~Viviana~Our gaze locked. Recognition immediately prevailed in those gray eyes. Those subtly full lips that once gave a reassuring smile for saving my life pressed on a hard line. His almost perfect cruise of pointy nose crooked in the middle from a punch or two crinkled a bit as he inhaled deeply, closing his eyelids. As I stared at his right arm and backed up to his face like an idiot, I realized I was the only one astonished by this discovery.Guilt, remorse, these emotions were written in his face as he heaved, sweat dripping from his forehead to his thick brows, falling directly down to the matting under his bare feet. Swiftly, he wiped his forehead with the back of his bandage-wrapped hands.It’s clear. He knew who I was, not as the woman he saved, but as the girl he tried to kill.
A Game With No Rules 77|For You
~Viviana~“I get it your brotherhood in the Outlaws comes first, but that doesn’t mean a thing to me,” I stated as calmly as I could, considering his situation.He shook his head. “He’s my brother, by blood, Viviana.”If seeing Rio’s tattoo wasn’t enough of a surprise for one night, this definitely crawled up the list of trump cards life has to slap in my face.“You’re joking, right?” I murmured, convincing myself this was just some shitty prank. “Saying he’s your brother won’t stop me from killing him.”Roman pressed his eyes shut, and I got a view of the dark circles adorning his face. He’s tried. From the way his shoulder slumpe
A Game With No Rules 78|Take My Heart
~Roman~Words will never be enough to pronounce the emotions flouncing inside me.“I love you, Viviana…” I repeated, pressing our forehead together as I wiped her tears, well aware of how drenched my cheeks had been.She didn’t deserve this pain of knowing what my true relationship with Rio was. I foresaw this happening, but I never thought she’d choose to forgive Rio for me. I never thought she’d look past his sins because she loves me. She’s too good for me, too fucking good.“Fuck. I love you, amor.” I gave everything I have into the kiss she allowed me to have.“I love you,” she said, holding on to me as if her life depended on it, flinging her arms around

Palermo, Sicily, five years later.~Viviana~Happiness, the state of being happy. But how do we set the bar to signify we are truly happy? I’ve been asking myself this question for a while now.I’ve reached a few of my goals. Only a few since they’re never-ending. I wanted to finish college, and I did. I wanted to dance for a living, and I did. But after owning a studio, it faded into the background of my desires. A status quo. Something I do on a daily basis, like on manual function.To constantly move has always been my motivation since I resided here in Palermo after I lost everything. Even that lost its allure in the list of the things that make me feel alive.Travel the world? A lifetime is not enough t
