I cringed as the sickening sound of bone cracking filled the air and Michael tumbled off the chair.

Ouch! That was definitely broken and was going to hurt like a b*tch.

"How f*cking dare you cause trouble on my turf?" Lorenzo snarled as Michael stumbled to his feet. He touched his nose, and his eyes darkened at the blood on his fingertips.

"You broke my nose! F*ck you!" He cussed, balling his hands into fists, and he lunged at him.

Lorenzo dodged his attack and landed another blow in his belly, and he stumbled back.

"You think you can come into my territory and act like a f*cking madman! How dare you go after Gwendolyn? Did you think I wouldn't know you, you little piece of sh*t? Are you f*cking trying to start a war?" He barked, and I paled.

A war! A f*cking war! I didn't want a f*cking war to happen because of me! Couldn't we sit down and discuss this like mature adults instead of throwing fists and talking about a full-blown mafia group war like it was another Tuesday?

    #Day 21#"How do I look? My dress isn't too much, right? Is my makeup ok? I think it's too heavy." Clara fretted as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. "I knew I should have done no-makeup makeup. But it would have been too simple—""Ooo, someone is excited for her date with her crush." I teased, wriggling my brows at her."Ha ha, very funny. You know how important today is. I have to look perfect." She glared at me."It's just a date, not the actual wedding. You look gorgeous. A ten. If I were a guy or I was into girls, I would've been smitten by your beauty and definitely asked you out." I grinned and winked at her."You're not my type. You're too crazy. If you asked me out, I would run straight to the heels." She snorted."Says the girl that is in love with a mafia Don. You like crazy too." I retorted."I guess you have a point." She giggled and looked at the mirror. "But I look alright, right? I think I should change the dress—""You look absolutely gorgeous, Clara. Hell,

    "Your mom? You're her daughter? So she moved on. That's good." Pablo whispered, and though sadness flickered in his eyes, he was finding it difficult to believe what he said."No, she didn't. My mom always told me that she loved only one man, and that man was my father. She didn't tell me his name, though, but I think... I suspect... I..." I stumbled on my words, trying to find the appropriate one."You think you are my daughter." He stated. His face and voice were suddenly devoid of emotion, and I gulped."I'm not sure. It's just a hunch, but the timelines fall really well, and I—""When you said today is your mother’s remembrance... you... you... Tell me you were joking. Angela isn't dead, and you know where she is?" He whispered; his voice was still cold, but tears glinted in his eyes."I'm sorry. My mom... your Angela died seven years ago." I whispered as my own eyes watered.He stared at me for a few seconds; neither of us said anything, and the air was thick with choking tension

    "Then why so gloomy? Isn't that a good thing?" I said, and Pablo let out a long sigh. "It's not as simple as it seems. Can you keep a very important secret?" He asked. "Are you sure you want to tell me? I literally am a girl you met at a club, and as you said, it's a very important secret." I replied. "I know I can trust you. Besides, if you tell anyone, I'll kill you." He joked, forcing a smile that fell instantly to a grim frown. "No, I can't do that. I don't think I'll ever be able to kill you. You look too much like her. In fact, that's why I'm here: to spend her birthday with you." My lips pressed into a thin line. Who was this 'her', and why did he insist I looked so much like her? "It's pathetic, isn't it? I'm a married man with grown-up children, and I'm still hung up on my first love, like a damn loser. But, damn, I f*cking loved her more than I can love any other woman. It's been twenty-three years, and I still f*cking miss her like she died yesterday." Pablo lamen

    "I'm here! Sorry I'm late. Prof. Jerry wanted to see me after class." Clara said as she ran towards me holding a bouquet of carnations, and she handed them to me. "Thank you, and it's alright. We're almost done here." I replied as I placed it beside the other ones. "We? Don't tell me you invited another person. I thought it was a us thing." She pouted as she eyed Lorenzo's bouquet of flowers. "Well, it would have been if you hadn't told, Lorenzo, you traitor." I nudged her side, and she cringed. "Sorry. I know I shouldn't have, but he didn't give me any choice. I didn't even know how he managed to twist the words out of my mouth." I sighed. "It's alright. Lorenzo can be a sneaky b*tch but I can't be mad at him since he has been a great help and company today." I replied. "Great help? As in metaphorically and figuratively?" She frowned, and I smiled, knowing she didn't want to believe what she was thinking. "I mean literally." I giggled and nudged at Lorenzo, who was stan

    Lorenzo wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into a hug. "She died, Lorenzo. On her f*cking birthday. I don't know what happened. One moment we were preparing to leave the hospital; the next, she had gone into cardiac arrest. The doctors that had been telling me she was recovering perfectly suddenly noticed there had been a problem with her heart that couldn't be diagnosed until it was fatal. How the f*ck did they not f*cking diagnose that when she was in the sh*tty hospital for weeks!" I cried as I clung to him. "A few hours after the cardiac arrest, she died. She f*cking died, just like that. All because of a stupid drunken driver that was still permitted bail though he had murdered my mom! It wasn't f*cking fair! If it weren't for him, she would have still been alive. There was so much she wanted to do, but her life was f*cking cut short." Lorenzo held me tighter, stroking my hair and muttering comforting words in my ear as I sobbed into his chest. A few minutes later, my cr

    "You want to go to the cemetery now?" Clara asked as we walked to our next class, and I nodded. "Yeah, the rain has stopped, but I'm worried it will start again. And honestly, I haven't been able to concentrate in any of my classes today. I feel like I'm wasting my time here." I said. "Then, I'll go with you. I can skip class too." "No. You go to class; you can meet me later. I'll be fine on my own." I insisted, and she frowned. "But—" "It's alright. Don't you have an important test today? You can't miss that because of me." I said, and she frowned. "Fine, but once I'm done, I'll come meet you." She sighed, and I nodded. "Deal." I replied, and she walked into her classroom. I went to the parking lot, zipping my hoodie to the end as cold wind blasted past me. Benny spotted me from the distance and came out of the car. "Leaving so soon, Ms Harper?" He asked as I opened the door. "Yes, and before you ask, I've already told Lorenzo. There's no need for me to call him."
