"Stop over-worrying, Clara. You'll be fine." I said as Clara smoothed her peach dress again.

"I don't want to do this. I can't do this. His family are even worse than him; he'll feed me to them, and they'll devour me without thinking." Clara panicked as we walked into the foyer. "I should pretend that I'm sick again. I'm sure I can convince Lorenzo this time. I can say I have the flu or a cold or a brain-eating virus or—"

"Stop." I stood in front of her and grabbed her shoulders. "Overthinking won't help you. Hell, you'll end up more stressed."

"I know, but I just can't help it. You don't know these people. They're vile. Silvano might not acknowledge me, but at least he doesn't insult me. His family, on the other hand..." She muttered and pressed her lips into a thin line.

"I might not know them, but I know the universal rule of all b*tchy people: if you're timid and fearful, they'll finish you. But if you act confident and show them you aren't intimidated, they'll back down. You need

    Engaged...I was engaged?!"Not dating but engaged?! This doesn't sound right at all. How can I be engaged?" I said as I shook my head. "No offence, but this is too much. I don't even know your name, and you're saying we're engaged?!""This is why I didn't want to tell you anything now until you're strong enough to assimilate what I'll say." The man sighed, and he ran his fingers through his hair. "Why don't we get you something to eat before I go into the very long story? A simple soup will be nice, won't it?""I guess you're right. It's better that I give myself a few minutes to process this, my current situation, before I ask for more. I'll probably slip into another one-week coma if I hear the full story like this." I chuckled, and he cringed."Don't joke with stuff like that. This past week was scary. I'll probably lose my mind if I ever see you like that again." He said as he tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear and stood up. "I'll go make the soup now. Do you want someth

    F*ckI winced, hissing at the bright light that stung my eyes when I tried to open them, and I quickly squeezed them shut.I shook my head, trying to remove the annoying, sharp, piercing ringing in my ears, and I groaned again as the sound grew worse.Sh*t!I felt like f*cking sh*t!My head was pounding like crazy, and my body ached like I was run over by a f*cking truck, thrice.What the hell happened to me?"Ugh!" I screamed, a searing pain running through me as I tried to sit up.Bile rushed to my throat, and I clasped my hand over my mouth."Gwen!" Someone— a man— said softly."Gwen?" I whispered; my voice sounded strange, like it wasn't mine.I tried to sit up, and I groaned as the sharp pain rocked through me again."Gently, you're hurt." He said as he gently helped me to sit up.My eyes finally managed to open, and through my blurry vision, I stared at a young man, no more than twenty-five, sitting beside me. Tears hung in his vivid green eyes like I was his dog th

    The door slammed open, and I jerked out of my sleep."You!" Beatrice yelled as she glared at me."What do you want? Leave, I'm not in the mood for your bullsh*t." I murmured as I closed my eyes.I felt like sh*t. My head was banging from crying for who knows how long. The stupid hollowness in my chest was still there, and I just wanted to crawl into a hole and pretend the whole world didn't exist because everything was f*cking sh*t."You b*tch! You f*cking ruined everything!" She roared, and my eyes flared open as hands squeezed my neck. "You f*cking ruined everything, b*tch!"What the hell?!"Get the f*ck off me!" I yelled as I shoved her off me, and she fell to the ground."I don't know what sh*tty situation you're in that you feel like it's my doing, but don't you ever f*cking lay your hands on me!" I glowered at her as I stood up, and she did too."You—""Beatrice! What the f*ck are you doing?" André scowled as he stormed into the room, glaring at her."It's her fault. I

    "What?" Michael gasped, vocalising my shock.I had not heard Lorenzo well. I definitely had not heard him well.He definitely said 'don't do it', not 'then do it'. Yes, that was what he said."It seems you didn't hear what I said. I said I—""Do what you f*cking want with her; I don't give a sh*t. Do you really think I'd give up my position as Don for a f*cking woman? You're f*cking delusional." Lorenzo scoffed, and my chest tightened; the air around suddenly became too hard to breathe."What a f*cking disgrace of a boyfriend you are. Fine, let's lower the price since you're not man enough. I want—""I'm not giving you anything for her. F*cking nothing." He replied, and I could literally hear my heart shatter."Nothing?" Michael whispered as he slowly stood up, and his lips curled into a large scowl. "What the f*ck? I f*cking get that you're not willing to give up the Tenebre for her, but what do you mean, 'f*cking nothing'? She's your f*cking girlfriend, and her life is in f*c

    "Are you f*cking kidding me? You want to ask Lorenzo to give you the Tenebre for me. I've always known that you're crazy, but I never expected it to be this bad." I burst into laughter and shook my head. "Yeah, right. Like Lorenzo would give up his position as the don for a woman. How the hell are you going to ask that? You'll be like, 'Hello Lorenzo, I have your girlfriend. Give me the Tenebre if you want to see her again.' That sounds hella crazy. How the hell do you come up with sh*tty ideas like this?" "I'm glad you find the situation amusing. It's nice to see your smile and hear your laughter, even if it wasn't the reaction I was hoping for." Michael said softly, and my smile instantly dropped. "I'm no criminal, nor am I good with this mafia sh*t, but I'm smart enough to know that your plan is f*cking dumb as hell. Would you give up your position as Don for me if I was your girlfriend?" I snorted. "Yes." He blurted. "Ugh?" I frowned and cringed as he got on one knee in fr

    "Wait!" I exclaimed."No. You said you didn't want to talk to me, so I'm leaving. I'll go to where my presence is appreciated." Michael mumbled, but before he could open the door, I grabbed his arm."For f*ck's sake, stop acting like a drama queen. Can I really hear from Lorenzo, or were you just f*cking messing with me?" I asked."So bossy. You know you're actually supposed to be begging me for the privilege to hear from him. But don't worry, I'm quite considerate, so I'll let your rude behaviour slide. I'm sure you're in a sh*tty mood because of Gabi. You guys had a fallout, didn't you?" He smirked."And whose fault is that?" I scowled."Are you going to blame me for every sh*tty thing that happens to you now?""No, but I'm going to blame you for the things you caused? Whose fault is it that she lost her father? Whose fault is it that she thinks it's either me or Logan that commited the crime? Whose f*cking fault is it that we got into an argument because of how f*cked up everything
