"They call us dreamers but they are the we're the one's who don't sleep"~ Unknown I clutch tightly on Salvatore's arm as he leads us to the dining area, I'm regretting each step we are taking towards our destination.It was my idea to eat breakfast with his family, Salvatore wasn't too fond of it but I persisted. Now, I'm the one who wants to head back into the safety of my room.A guard opens the door for us, the clinking of utensils stop, everyone on the table gazes at us, I bow down my head instantly.Of you keep on being submissive then they will never accept you as one of their own, my subconscious pokes me.I raise my head making eye contact with each member, I see the surprised look on Madam Guilia's face, my smile brightens as I find Lucia seated beside Capo Giovanni.She greets me by nodding her head, there is a bandage on her temple, apart from the traces of shadow under her eyes she seems better.Salvatore puts his hand on my spine guiding me towards the table "good morni
"I was compelled to love you, not because you are the fairest, but because you are the deepest, for a lover of a beauty is usually a fool"~ Mahmoud Darwish "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask side eyeing Salvatore, I returned back to our room and sat by the window, minutes later he followed behind, he strided towards me stopping a few inches away.I glanced at him, my face all red because of anger, his eyes had amusement in them, he didn't utter a word and kept on staring until I couldn't take it anymore and pointed it out.I turn away my gaze back to the scenic view outside, I don't know why I'm radiating so much anger, I just couldn't hold it today.I sense him nearing me, he takes a seat beside me on the window seat, I don't pay attention, his stare burning my side.I huff annoyed, he chuckles, I gaze at him frowning "I can't believe I didn't know that this side of you existed all along, It's like I'm seeing a new Daisy" he says amused.I don't bother to respond "hey!" H
"There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family"~ Unknown Yesterday was a beautiful day, Salvatore and I spent it together indulging in different activities, it brought us closer in a way.My love for him is increasing by 10 folds each day, I glance at him laying on his stomach beside me, I turn my body towards him and trace his spine with my pointer finger, his skin is so hard and rough compared to mine but I love it.I get close to him, my naked breast press against his left arm, I kiss his shoulder blade.I never thought I could love someone so much, I feel like the only reason why I'm living is now because of him, my each breath is for him.My man, I whisper to myself with a giddy smile.I glance at the heavy ring on my ring finger, I don't know when it happened but now I'm used to this ring, I don't remove it from my finger apart from when I take a shower.I'm his woman and he's mine. My heart swells at the thoughtI keep on tracing patterns o
"We were a family of weirdos, I had to admit"~ Unknown I enter the living area, my eyes quickly land on Salvatore, he's sitting on the sofa reading through a file."You called for me" I announce my arrival, he lifts up his gaze towards me, "sì" he shuts the file and puts it down on the table.We meet halfway, he holds my hands pressing a sweet kiss on each one."You look beautiful" he compliments, I smile "don't I look always?" I laugh jokingly."I have a surprise for you mi amore" he says with a childish glint in his eyes, I furrow my brows "surprise?""Sì, close your eyes" he shuts my lids with his hand, I laugh at his antics, he turns me around "don't open them!" He warns lightly, I hum keeping my eyes closed.His hands are holding onto my arms, his strong chest is pressed against my lean back.He slowly let's go of me, I sense him stepping away "Salvatore?" I question confused but receive no response."Don't open your eyes Daisy" he softly warns again, I huff. After a moment I
"As she walked all the demons stopped"~ Unknown "Sembri una principessa!" (You look like a princess!) Penelope compliments watching me in a daze, I smile sweetly at her."Lei è una principessa" (She is a princess) mama pipes in standing on the others side, the make-up artist does the last touch ups on my face, I have to leave in 5 minutes."Grazie!" (Thank you!) I say to her, she pauses for a moment and stares at me looking taken aback "b-benvenuta signora" (w-welcome madam) she says stuttering in surprise.Has no one here ever appreciated her efforts before? If that's the case then it's a shame, she's wonderful with her work and anyone who provides their service and time to you should be appreciated.She exits the room after getting me ready, I stare at myself on the full length mirror, I agree that I look beautiful, anyone who sees me now would think I'm a well bred woman instead of a daughter of a palace guard who grew up in a village.I'm wearing a sleeveless rose gold mermaid g
"There are plenty of ways to die, but only love can kill and keep you alive to feel it"~ Leo Christopher"I hate those ladies!" Lucia groans after we've gotten a bit away from those snobby women."I wonder why" I say sarcastically, "the one thing I'm definitely going to do is ban these ladies from any future Moretti gatherings" she says with an annoy face."There he is!" She suddenly says excitedly, I follow her gaze, she's pointing towad a obese man who has his back to us, he's standing by the buffet with a plate full of food.I frown as Lucia pulls me towards that man's directly "papa!" Lucia squeals loudly, the man turns in surprise.His mouth is full from food, he chews it quickly and gulps it down "my princess!" He puts down the plate accepting his daughters hug.He is Lucia's father!??I can't help but gape at him, he's so.. I don't want to judge but he doesn't look like the father of such a beautiful girl. I thought Lucia's father would've been someone like Senior Capo.I stud
"And I say to myself: A moon will rise from my darkness"~ Mahmoud DarwishI rush towards the bathroom to throw up once again.After I'm done emptying my stomach for the second time I slowly walk towards the sink, I lift up my gaze staring at my dishalved reflection.My eye makeup is smeared around my eyes making me resemble a racoon, my lipstick has been wiped off due to me wiping my mouth previously.I take the make-up remover and clean my face, I then brush my teeth and change into a comfortable sundress.I pull my hair up in a bun, I have thrown up twice in the past half an hour since I ran back to my room.I press my temples, they are pounding so hard.I step out of the bathroom, I freeze finding Salvatore in the room, his right knuckles are all bloody and bruised, his suit jacket is no where to be found, his white under shirt buttons are opened."What is this?" He asks in a rough voice pointing at my unpacked suitcase on the bed, I don't respond to him, instead I make my way tow
"Tell me your secret, my soul asks my skin. "how do you heal so quickly?"~ Q.My ears are ringing..'5 year old son..''A child!'My subconscious screams at me, my heartbeat is slowing down, I feel like my heart is about to stop, am I dying?I look around, the room is spinning "mama!" I whisper the first name I can in my fear, but my voice doesn't come out, all the power is drained from my body, my feet can no longer hold onto my weight, my body falls down on the floor.I manage to stop the fall by my hands, "DAISY!" Salvatore screams in panic, he quickly makes me sit upright, I look at him blankly, "Amore! Please!" He begs, tears flow down my eyes sliding down my corners and disappearing in my hair.I take in deep breaths, he rubs my back trying to calm me down."Mama.." I whisper again, my voice a low call of despair, why can't I speak???I want someone who I can trust right now, someone who would not betray me."Daisy, get yourself together, I'll call your mother" Salvatore says d
