Sand KastleIt seems like Thalia is thriving while Luciano feels miserable. To be honest, I don't think Luciano's acting that bad. He's just projecting his inner anger onto the wrong things, but I still feel like he's a good guy.

Thalia Four years ago, when I escaped from the Luciano clan, I ended up coming here—Amari Coast. Contrary to its name, it has nothing to do with beaches and sunshine. Instead, it's a foggy and mountainous place where agriculture and sheep-tending are the most common livelihood. On my first day here, I was immediately hit by a small truck. Fortunately, it didn't cause any damage to Lucille and me. I think I was actually quite lucky being hit by that truck. If it weren't for that occurrence, then I wouldn't have met Mr. and Mrs. Ferri. Mr. and Mrs. Ferri took me into their home without any questions. I just told them that I didn't have any place to say, and they instantly gave me a room in their house. Mrs. Ferri was also the one who took care of me all throughout my pregnancy. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ferri passed away due to ovarian cancer when Lucille turned 1. From then on, it has only been Mr. Ferri and us. I always feel thankful for Mr. and Mrs. Ferri, so I just can't bring myse

Luciano My back straightened, and my eyes automatically zoomed in on the beautiful woman on the stage. The quality of the production was shitty as fuck, but it didn't take away any of her beauty. She still shined amidst the pixelated screen. It seemed like she had reached the final two, and it was now time to give the crown to the winner. My heart started beating faster and faster, and I honestly couldn't hear any of the words that the host was saying at the moment. All I know is that the woman I've been looking for the past four years is finally in front of my eyes—in virtual form, that is. She's still as beautiful as ever. No—she looks even more beautiful now if that was even possible. It made my heart ache just seeing her, and I remembered the days when the two of us lost touch. Things escalated quickly, and the next thing I knew, a crown was placed on top of Thalia's head. I didn't hear the announcement, but it seems like she has won. I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

Thalia I instantly slammed the door close as soon as I saw the face of the visitor. However, the door didn’t close completely as he was able to place his foot on the gap before it could close. “Oww,” he said in a small voice. However, I didn’t show any mercy as I continually slammed the door on his foot, hoping the pain would be so unbearable that he’d have no choice but to retaliate his foot. However, I forgot that he was in the mafia for a second; because the next thing I knew, he stopped my force with only one hand and opened the door. “Thalia,” he said my name in such a familiar tone that it made me want to crumble. But I knew better. “What are you doing here?” I asked him, crossing my arms in front of my chest. “Thalia,” he repeated my name once more. I heard small footsteps coming out way, causing my eyes to widen in surprise. Shit. Lucille. I acted quick and pulled Luciano out of the vicinity of the house, slamming the door close. I was holding onto his hand, and I

Luciano "I would love to join you for lunch," I said, nodding at the old man in front of me. I didn't know much about him, but I felt that he could be trusted based on how Thalia regards him. He smiled and opened the door wider. "Come on in, then. Thalia prepared Panzanella and Mushroom Risotto. Do you like those dishes?" I glanced at Thalia and saw her glaring at me. I merely smiled and turned back to Mr. Ferri. "I'll probably like anything as long as Thalia prepares it." "You're a sweet talker, aren't you?" Thalia scoffed. "Well, unluckily for you, I only made portions for three. You can go and eat on your own if you'd like." Mr. Ferri clicked his tongue. "Oh, don't be like that, Thalia. There's plenty of food to go around. Come on in," he gestured for me to come in. I took this as my chance. I entered the small and cozy house and was instantly bombarded by the scent of heavenly food. Thalia grumbled from behind me, but she didn't retaliate any further. As we walked to

ThaliaI felt kind of guilty when I saw Luciano’s face fall; however, I stood my ground and kept my gaze strong.I remembered the words he said four years ago, and it’s nothing compared to mine. So, there’s no need for me to feel any pity for him.Lucille and I are doing fine without him, and honestly, I feel like he’s just here to shatter my world once more.“You don’t mean that, don’t you?” he said in a broken voice.“I do,” I stubbornly said. “So, I don’t know how you got here or how you’re going to leave, but I want you gone now.”His gaze hardened with every word, and it was a shame that I almost forgot how stubborn he truly was.It was the very reason why we didn’t get along during the first months we’ve spent together—he’s just as stubborn as me.“I drove here,” he said. “And I’m going to stay here—no matter what you say. I already talked to Grandpa Ferri awhile back, and he agreed to let me stay here for a couple of days.”“What? You asked him without my permission?”He smirked

Thalia I opened my mouth, but no sound managed to come out. I sometimes forget that my child is very smart, and at circumstances like this, it's very evident. "Yes," Luciano responded, causing me to snap my gaze at him. Lucille excitedly gasped, but I quickly shut down her excitement. "He's not," I said. The two of them looked at me and tilted their head to the side. At that moment, they really looked like a father-and-daughter pair. I cleared my throat and straightened my posture. "He's not your dad. He's just grandpa Ferri's friend who'll be staying with us for a couple of days." Lucille frowned. "But I heard Grandpa Ferri said that I look exactly like my dad! Does that mean that mister and I don't look alike?”She kneeled and walked over to her dad, bringing their faces close to each other. Then, they gazed at me with the same expression. "Don't we look alike, mommy?" 'You do. You really fucking do that it's quite scary,' I wanted to say, but I played it off and just chuckled

ThaliaI ignored Luciano and turned back towards Dom. “So, where did you go?” I asked.“Australia,” he said. “My brother settled there after marrying his wife. I stayed for a couple of weeks to help them with the move.”“Australia? That’s quite cool—“I didn’t even get to finish my sentence since Luciano cleared his throat once more—louder this time.I turned back at him and raised my eyebrows.“What?”“Are you not going to introduce me?” he asked.I sighed and shook my head.“Dom, this is Luciano. Luciano, this is Dom, my good friend.”Dom smiled welcomingly and offered his hand. “Good to have you, man. I hope you’re liking Amari Coast.”Luciano merely looked at Dom’s hand and smiled fakely.“I have been liking it, but it seems like I don’t like it as much anymore,” he grumbled.I clicked my tongue and glared at him before focusing my attention back to Dom.“So, is Australia nice? I’ve actually watched a documentary about Australia and have been wanting to go there ever since. But, it

Luciano I patted my lap and she unhesitatingly sat down on top of it. I smiled to myself since she seems to be trusting me more and more as time passes by. Actually, we haven't bonded for that long, but she already trusts me this much. I guess it's really true that blood doesn't lie. "Let me ask you a question," I said. She looked up at me with wide eyes and nodded her head. "What did your mommy tell you about your daddy?" "Hmm," she placed her hand under her chin. "Mommy doesn't like talking about daddy." I raised my eyebrows. "Oh, really?" She nodded her head and gestured for me to come closer. I looked at her, confused, but complied with what she wants. She went closer to my ear and whispered, "But I hear her crying sometimes. I think she misses daddy so much even if she doesn't talk about him." I broke away from her and suddenly felt a tugging feeling in my heart. Thalia cries because of...me? "I asked mommy about daddy once," she added. "What did she say?" I as
