Blood Vengeance; a mafia romance story Chapter Fifty-eight
Zolandria's POVI wake up on Katherine's couch with a crick in my neck and my body sore. I don’t remember when I actually slept off; then it all comes rushing back: the storm, the room and Lucien asking me to get out. I press the heel of my hand against my sternum and breathe.The apartment is quiet. Grey morning light streaks through the gap in the curtains; the storm has passed, leaving the city clean and wet outside the window. The smell of something being cooked in the kitchen fills the living room, making me sit up.I run my hands through my hair and look at the room on my way to the kitchen. The door is still closed. Katherine is at the stove, making coffee and something with eggs, looking too domestic for the kind of life she’s lived. She looks up when she hears me and says nothing about me sleeping on the couch. And I’m glad because how am I to explain what happened? She just pours a second cup and sets it on the counter beside her and goes back to the eggs.I sit on the st

Zolandria's POVKatherine's apartment smells different tonight. The subtle hint of rosemary is still in the hair, but underneath it is something like vanilla…We get to her end at seven and make small talk over pastries and tea. Then at around seven-thirty, there’s a shift in the air; then thunder strikes through the cloud, and rain hits the windows hard and continuously. Katherine looks at the window, says nothing, and keeps serving dinner.We're on the second course when the alert comes through her phone, then the building's intercom, a calm automated voice explaining that due to severe weather conditions, the district's emergency protocol has been activated and residents are advised to remain indoors until further notice.Lucien and I exchange a glance.Katherine sets down her fork. "You'll have to stay tonight," she says. "There's a room you can use. It hasn't been used in some time, but it's clean." She looks at both of us. "One room. The others haven't been opened in years. I

Zolandria's POVI wake up with a lot on my mind and a hollow feeling in my chest. I'm Ava.And my mother is alive.And Lucien? We were close friends in childhood until something happened that made him bitter. But how deeply was I brainwashed that I didn’t remember any part of him in my childhood? I get up, dragging my feet to the shower. I stand under it till the water goes cold against my skin. Then I wrap myself in a towel and stand at the window, watching the beautiful morning in Vienna, and I feel something settle in my chest, like acceptance and gratitude. For months, I've been trying to find answers to a whole lot of puzzles, and now I know a lot. It might not fix anything, but at least I know. ***Lucien's POVBy six, I’m already dressed.Because I never took my coat off yesterday, and I had barely slept a wink.

Lucien's POVI don't remember the complete car ride back; just pieces of Zolandria against the window, the city lights moving across her face in strips, and her hands folded too still in her lap. My thoughts are still on the photograph and everything Kathy had said over dinner, and I lost track of my environment. Before I know it, I’m walking her to her door."Goodnight," I say, and it comes out wrong.She looks at me, her eyes red-rimmed and swollen at the edges, but steady."Goodnight," she says back and goes inside. Leaving me standing in the hallway for a long time before going to my room.I enter my room and sit on the edge of my bed in the dark and think about how Katherine kept all these from me for years. I was nineteen and a nobody. A name with no money behind it and no family left to claim it, sitting in the back room of a restaurant that doesn't exist anymore, having a sandwich, the only thing I could afford at the time, and she walked in like she knew I would be there.
