"I hope you stay around, for a long, long time, forever"~ AesteuticcShould I respond to him or not?"I asked you something" His voice is firm, it's not as hard as Salvatore's but the intensity is same.Slowly, I turn around, he is sitting on his office chair, my head is bowed down."I don't have any wrong intentions Capo" I whisper scared, this is what I was fearing all along.I knew I would be the one who will come under everyone's scrunity.I already have so much on my plate, this isn't what I want right now. Why can't I have one peaceful day at work?"I don't trust you" he says skeptically, "I don know what games you played in Russia, they are not going to work here, I have my eyes and ears on you" he slams his hands on the table making me jump."I know woman like you trap rich men to elevate their status in society, my brother may be blinded by your charms right now but I am not" he stands up from his place, I take a step back."What is your deal? How much will you take to leave
"There is no way back from loving you"~ d.j"Daisy, trust me" Salvatore says rubbing his temples in frustration. I shake my head stubbornly.We've been arguing back and forth for the past 15 minutes, I am adamant on leaving while Salvatore isn't anywhere agreeing to it."Go back to your room, rest for a while, at dinner time come back here, we'll eat together " he gently pushes me off his lap, I stand on the ground."You are forcing me" I say annoyed, he stands up as well "the only thing I force you, is to stay with me, I will not force you for anything else but I will also not sit back and let you go away from me" he says seriously."Dinner time" he pats his watch with his pointer finger. He comes forward and presses a kiss on my forehead, I shut my eyes relishing the sweet feeling."Go" he says putting his hands in his pant pockets, I frown at him, he winks at me. Grunting under my breath I walk away towards the palace, Salavatore has assured me that he will take care of everythin
"Somethings can only be seen in the shadows"~ Carlos Ruiz ZafónA phone ring disrupts our peaceful moment.Salvatore groans, he pats his pant pocket and fishes out his mobile.He talks about some urgent business meeting that is going to be conducting in half an hour, he doesn't seems pleased by the sudden call."I don't want to attend the meeting" he grunts rubbing his face while looking up at me from my lap. I move away the strand of hair falling on his forehead."Work is also important, let me help you pack up the stuff" I say, he nods his head half heartedly, together we pack up everything, I shut the basket after putting the picnic mat inside it.I am sitting on the ground with my knees folded under me, Salvatore sits beside me."How are you feeling" he asks rubbing my cheek with his thumb, I push my face in his palm "happy" I answer genuinely."Good" he says satisfied "thank you for today" I say honestly, his brown eyes bore into my green one's "thank YOU for staying" he says in
"Scars show a journey, but first the wounds need to close"~ Unknown "Where were you last night?" Ray asks curiously, I tie my apron around my waist, I look at her through the mirror."I went for a stroll" I keep my answer short, "you missed dinner" she points, "wasn't feeling hungry" I say turning around."You know you've been acting weird since you came back from Russia" she says looking at me doubtfully."Why do you say so?" I ask keeping my expressions in control, "you don't spend as much time with me as you did before" she complains."Oh, we'll plan something real soon" I say relieved, she nods her head excitedly "when am I going to meet that mysterious boyfriend of yours?" I ask in a teasing manner, Ray looks away shyly.So it's that serious, I smile.She slumps on her bed with a dreamy sigh "very soon, he's a busy man, he works directly with Capo Giovanni" she boasts proudly."That's good" I appreciate while correcting my bed sheet."I need to go" I announce, "why? Your duty s
"If we don't end war, war will end us"~ H. G. WellsI just got done cleaning Capo Giovanni's room, it took me about 4 hours to clean the massive room.I glance at the time, it is nearing sunset, lunch time is already over but I am feeling famished.Tiredly I pick up my cleaning supplies, throughout the cleaning my mind was stuck on Sophia, I am struggling between if I should tell Madam Joy the truth or not.A loud commotion just outside Capo's door diverts my attention, I leave my stuff and slightly push open the door.I peak outside, I see Senior Capo, Madam Guilia, Capo Giovanni and Salvatore standing in the hallway, Snior Capo seems angry, his face is red."Quante volte devo ripetere la stessa cosa Gio? Quando imparerai ad assumerti le tue responsabilità!?" (How many times do I have to repeat the same thing Gio? When will you learn to take your own responsibilities!?) He seethes at his elder son."È mio fratello, ha gli stessi diritti sui doveri che ho io!" (He is my brother, he h
"That was manipulation, that was traumatic, that was abuse, that broke me, you broke me"~ Unknown (TRIGGER WARNING: TORTURE)"TRANQUILLO!" (QUIET!) Salvatore's thunderous voice booms in the garden startling everyone, even Capo seems stunned at his son's sudden outburst.The garden is now filled with pin drop silence.All eyes look at Salvatore in fear, he scans around the garden, glaring at each and everyone until his eyes stop at me, he pauses for a brief second than diverts his gaze.He walks towards the bruised man, he crouches down on one knee.He grabs the man's jaw, turning his face both ways, inspecting it."Ti piace rubare?" (You like to steal?) He asks in a low dark voice but it's audible to everyone, my heartbeat seizes as I realize what he's about to do.He's going to move forward with his father's order, he is saving his father's respect.Senior Capo for the first time seems speechless, he stares at his son with an undescribable emotion."Porta una sedia" (Bring a chair)
"He was her dark fairytale and she was his twisted fantasy and together they made magic"~ F. Scott Fitzgerald "Daisy.." he whispers my name in the silent air, I shut my eyes, not letting him get through me.I hear him nearing me, he sits behind me, his muscled arms encircle my waist, his hands rest on top of my stomach, I freeze in my place.He rests his chin on my shoulder, his chest attached to my back, his hot breath fans my neck "breath" he says lowly.I exhale out a breath I didn't know I was holding, I stare at the tree nervously."Do you know how hard these past 2 days have been? They were nothing short of hell" he nuzzles his face in my neck, he places a butterfly kiss on my sweet spot.Unconsciously, I grip his hand that is placed on my stomach.He takes that hand and sandwiches it between his hands.He leans closer and rocks us side to side in a slow rhythm.My heart beats frantically, I look down at his hands on my body, I picture them all bloody holding a blade, I look a
"I'm not scared of commitment, I'm scared of putting my all into someone and ending up with nothing again"~ Unknown Senior Capo's loud voice booms inside the palace walls, for some unknown reason he was angry today, since morning he's been shouting at everyone.All the maids are trying there best to stay away from his sight, including me.I decide to tune out his loud voice and focus on last night as I dust the sofa's.I smile unconsciously as I remember the magical kiss I shared with Salvatore, we spent some time together, laughing at silly things until it was time to part ways.Salvatore told me he's going to Greece soon, he said he'll take me with him and we'll at least spend a month there, away from everyone.I couldn't help the excitement that is building in me at the thought of spending alone time with him."You have a beautiful smile" a foreign sweet voice compliments, I raise my head, my eyes land on a beautiful woman.I internally gasp at her beauty.I blink my eyes twice t
