MARINA

RIGHT NOW, Mr Torricelli is staring at me like he wants to look through me or sort of. He kinda looks hot the way he is. He is wearing a blue t-shirt and a matching blue sweatpants with his glass held in his left hand.

He was staring, and it doesnโ€™t seem like he wasnโ€™t going to look away. I cleared my throat โ€œI needed water, sir,โ€ I said, but he kept on staring.

โ€œAlexander,โ€ why is he telling me his name?.

Is he drunk?.

Cause this is weird.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry, what?โ€ I said cause I clearly donโ€™t understand what he meant.

โ€œCall me by my nameโ€ he said, still looking. He needs to stop, I feel weird.

Ohhh, he wants me to call his name, but that is never happening he looks older than me, and I was taught to give elders respect.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry sir, I canโ€™t call you that, you are older than me by far, I think? โ€œ I said, also questioning him.

โ€œI prefer you calling me by my name. It sounds weird with all the titles โ€œ he said again, and I nodded.

    MARINAโ€œThe boys want to come over to stay with you for two weeks while Iโ€™m goneโ€ Stay with me.For two weeks.While he is gone.โ€œWhere are you goingโ€ Alex just called me as I got back from the hospital.Nice.At least he trusts me with the kids.โ€œI will be going to Italy for businessโ€ he said. I could get the sounds of paper. It seems he is busy.โ€œI would love for the kids to come overโ€ I said, smiling as I lay on my bed, looking stupid, I guess.โ€œI will drop them before going to the airport in the morning, is that okayโ€ he asked.โ€œIโ€™m just thinking, would I be able to take them with me to workโ€ I asked him, I really donโ€™t know how it would be if I take them to work,I think it might be risky if I do so.โ€œIโ€™m afraid not Marina, you can stay with them indoors and you can also visit the park, but your work place is a no go area I donโ€™t want the public to see themโ€ he said I understood, he is a big person in the society.โ€œThatโ€™s okay, Iโ€™ll just call in sick, I really want the boys hereโ€

    MARINAIt has been something like six days with the kids, these six days has been one of the best days of my life, being with kids made everything perfect and comfortable, the kids love it so much, every night before we sleep we talk to Alexander, I donโ€™t know why but everyday he sounds more tired as he calls.I know what his company entails but I donโ€™t think he is meant to be that tired, sometimes I wonder what kind of work he does apart from his normal business, I just hope it is not that dangerous.When we talk, he sounds so caring and I donโ€™t know how to put but it just makes me feel mushy and flattered. I always end up smiling foolishly after our calls...โ€œMom letโ€™s goโ€ Xavierโ€™s voice pulled me out my chain of thoughts.I forget to mention that we planned going to the park today, we have been cooped up in the house for so long, we never left the house since the day they came here. We already made cupcakes to take to the park to have mini picnic just to enjoy ourselves outside.โ€œO

    MARINAI feel weak. My body feels numb, as I tried to move my body, but I didnโ€™t just get the strength to move. It feels like there is a heavy weight on me, that is stopping me from moving.I opened my eyes, but I was greeted with a very bright light, which caused me to flinch a little.โ€œMom,โ€ I heard Vincentโ€™s voice. I felt him moving closer to me as he kept calling me.โ€œDad, momโ€™s awake,โ€ he screamed loudly, making me wince. In a few minutes, I heard the door burst open.โ€œMarina,โ€ I heard Alex voice call me softly, which made me open my eyes as it had adjusted to the bright light of the room.I saw Alex grey eyes staring at me softly. โ€œMarina, are you okay?โ€ He asked as he placed his hands on my face. His hands were warm, which made me unconsciously lean into his warm touch.โ€œI.. Iโ€™m.. okay, โ€œ I managed to say. My throat feels dry. He carefully removed his hands from my face and left.โ€œMommy,โ€ Vincent said, his voice cracking. I turned to him to see him in tears.I tried moving my h

    MARINAItโ€™s been a week I have been staying with Alex and the kids, it has been nice so far.Alexander is very okay, always made sure I took all my drugs. He has been all touchy and so. He always says goodbye before leaving the house and always stealing a kiss whenever he is leaving.I donโ€™t know where we stand, sometimes I feel he is just doing it because I saved his kids. I donโ€™t even know If he genuinely likes me. I fear knowing he doesnโ€™t like me. I donโ€™t want that to happen. I know it myself I was already falling for this particular Mr Alexander Torricelli. Its been a week in the house with them, I feel welcome but I feel I have overstayed my welcome. I plan on telling Alex during dinner tonight that I was going back to my apartment.โ€œMom, lookโ€ Vincent called out to me breaking my train of thoughts. I looked at him swimming in the pool. Since it was sunny we chose to take a swim and put the swimming pool to use.โ€œProud of you babyโ€ I said to him blowing a kiss to him. He blushe

    ALEXANDERโ€œYou are telling me she fought for the kids, thatโ€™s what you have been looking for since, you want a woman that cares about the kids more than who you are, and you yourself you are finding yourself falling for her, I think you know what to do Alexโ€ Marcel said sipping his drink.He is right, Marina is the type of lady I wanted for the kids and I know I am kind of finding myself falling for her. She is just what I want in a woman, I donโ€™t want someone that is slim and thin not trying to body shame but I prefer someone with those thick thighs that if Iโ€™m to go down on you, you are going to wrap those thighs around my head. The way she is going to moan my name while I eat her out, the thought of that just made my dick twitch. I want Marina for the kids, I want her in my life, I want her as Mia Regina, I want her as everything.Marina just woke up after been unconscious for three weeks, she already explained everything that happened which is making me angry the more, if I shoul

I pray he likes it, though.โ€œMommy, there are no pencils in my bag,โ€ Xavier say as he brings his schoolbag to me, we are preparing for school, and they will be starting classes tomorrow and I will be resuming my shift at the hospital also. โ€œHere they are,โ€ I say as he pick the pencils from his bedside table to put in his bag. โ€œThanks, Mama,โ€ he says, pecking my cheeks, making me smile.โ€œVince, have you packed your bags? Do you need my help?โ€ I turn to Vincent as he just sat on the couch watching Xavier and I. โ€œI already packed them mom, no worries,โ€ He say, smiling. โ€œIโ€™m really happy that you guys want to go to school, I want you to make friends, but the good ones, please no fight

I smile as I remember I am starting work today, and the kids are starting school. Oh my God.I have to prepare their lunch.Iโ€™m going to be late.โ€œAlex, let go. I have to prepare lunch for the kids, I have work today, โ€œ I say as I pull myself away from him but just make him pull me closer. I stretch my hands and turn the alarm off. โ€œJust a minute,โ€ Alex says as he pulls me more to himself. Iโ€™m trying to pull away as an idea came, making me press kisses all over his face. He laughs out loud, his laughter sounding deeper since he just woke up sending tingles down to my core.โ€œIโ€™m up,โ€ He says after calming down, releasing me from his hold. โ€œGood morning, love,โ€ He says, smiling as he sits up on the bed having that hot smile.โ€œGood morning to you too,โ€ I sing as I walk into the bathroom, doing my business fast

    ALEXANDER The map in front of me was covered in red marks, pins, post-its, and digital overlays. Dots where cameras went dark. Dots where the car mightโ€™ve changed routes. Dots where my enemies lived. None of them mattered. Not really. Because my sons were missing. And Marina Every second, I couldnโ€™t find her feeling like a slow, deliberate death. I hadnโ€™t slept. I hadnโ€™t eaten. Carlos tried to get me to rest, but I couldnโ€™t even sit still. I paced the perimeter of my own damn home like a wolf trapped behind glass. Iโ€™d done everything right. Increased security. Prepped emergency protocols. I thought Iโ€™d been ahead. And still, they were gone. The only people who mattered. And I knew exactly who had them. โ€œStephano,โ€ I growled under my breath. His name tasted like Ash. Iโ€™d let him live too long. Given him too much leash. I thought cutting ties and drawing boundaries was enough that heโ€™d respect fear the way most men do. But Stephano didnโ€™t fear. He hungered.

    MARINA And thenโ€ฆ silence.The kind that settles into your bones stretches long and cruel and leaves your heart beating too loudly in your chest.I sat perfectly still, Vincentโ€™s head against my shoulder, Xavier tucked into his side. My body ached. My face throbbed where Iโ€™d been hit, and my wrists were raw from the ropes. But the pain wasnโ€™t the worst part.It was the helplessness.The knowing that there was nothing I could do in that moment except endure.But I would.I would endure it a hundred times over. Because the boys were still breathing. Still here. Still mine.โ€œMom,โ€ Xavier whispered, his voice so soft it barely made it through the air. โ€œIs Daddy coming?โ€I closed my eyes for a second, swallowing the fear that threatened to crack my voice.โ€œYes,โ€ I said. โ€œHeโ€™s coming.โ€Vincent didnโ€™t say anything, but I felt him nod. He believed it, too.And I held onto that belief like a lifeline.I shifted a little, moving despite the burn in my shoulders so I could wrap my arms as much a

    MARINA For three days now, I have ignored Alexander, I think he noticed, his stares lasted longer than usual. He looked at me like he knew something was wrong, he knew I was ignoring him. He deserves it, is what I kept telling myself. What Alex did to me, it feels so painful, it hurts more than Tristan. I think I felt connected to Alexander on a more deeper level. The distance between us didnโ€™t get pass the kids, Vincent already asked me why I wasnโ€™t talking to his daddy. I didnโ€™t know what to say to him at that moment, I just brushed off the topic, but I knew the conversation wasnโ€™t over. I donโ€™t know what to do, the best option is for me to leave but it is also not the best option since I have a target on my back. I donโ€™t want to die, I still want to enjoy the good of this life. Iโ€™m not ready to di, so I have no other option than to stay here. If I was to also leave, the kids will be heartbroken. They see me as their mother, I love them both like how a mother should.

    ALEXANDERThe house was too quiet.Not peaceful. Not restful. It was the kind of silence that gnawed at the edges of your mind, creeping into the spaces where distraction used to live.I sat in my study with the lights dimmed, the fire long dead in the hearth, and a glass of scotch I hadnโ€™t touched.I didnโ€™t even remember pouring it.I barely remembered dinner โ€” Marinaโ€™s absence at the table felt more noticeable than her presence ever did. She said she wasnโ€™t hungry, claimed she had a headache. But I knew better.She was tired.Tired of me.She used to ask questions. Gently, always. Careful not to press too hard. Sheโ€™d watch me with those soft brown eyes and wait for me to give her something โ€” a piece of truth, a piece of me.Now she didnโ€™t ask anything.Didnโ€™t look.Didnโ€™t wait.She moved like someone going through the motions, only speaking when spoken to, only existing where necessary. Her laughter โ€” that quiet, unguarded sound โ€” hadnโ€™t echoed in these halls for days.I ran a hand
