Se connecterI walked away from the luxury of a top mafia family, hiding the fact that I was the daughter of the Newman family Don, just to stay by my boyfriend Joren’s side. I watched him climb from a low-level enforcer to a Don. He once promised that when he finally had the power to give me the world, he would propose. So, on the day of his celebration banquet, completely full of hope, I walked into the hall wearing a white wedding dress. My head was spinning with all the surprises he might have planned. Maybe a stunning pink diamond, or a walkway covered in rose petals. Instead, I saw Joren with his arm wrapped tight around his secretary, Chloe. They were practically joined at the hip, looking every bit the power couple. A guest teased him, "Is the gorgeous lady beside you the mystery girlfriend?" I thought he would shut it down. He just gave a wicked smirk and said absolutely nothing. Amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, I resolutely slipped off our couple's ring, dropped it into a champagne flute, and strode out without looking back. I remembered Joren telling me that to protect me from the vicious dangers of his world, we had to keep our relationship a secret. But now, he was perfectly fine sharing his glory with another woman in public. A man like that wasn't worth another ounce of my love.

“Please, let me go, please, don’t do it” Gianna said in her sleep.
She kept tossing around the bed,beads of sweat trailed on her forehead.
She was having a nightmare again just like every night.
“PLEASE!!!” She screamed catching the attention of her brother and her mom.
Her brother went closer and hugged her so tight,she was still asleep but scared.
“Don’t do this to me” She said amd started crying while sleeping.
Her mom sat beside her trying to calm her down.
“Gianna, please calm down, it’s just a dream”Her brother said.
“Gigi,no one will hurt you” Her mother said.
Gianna finally calmed down and fell asleep peacefully.
“She’s having those nightmares again” her brother said while caressing Gianna’s cheek.
“I know and am getting so worried”
They both left her room for her to sleep but hoping she doesn’t wake up screaming again.
? Gianna’s P.o.v
?
My alarm sounded so loud making me almost fall out of the bed.
I turned it off and headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up.
After i was done putting on my clothes,i wore a face cap and inserted my contact lens.
I took my bag and started heading downstairs,i stopped when I saw Jamal,my twin brother sneaking a girl out of the house through the back door.
He turned and looked at me giving me the ‘Keep your mouth shut’ sign,i chuckled and went to the kitchen to grab breakfast.
I sat down and grabbed my own plate of pancakes and started eating.
Jamal walked in and sat down in front of me brushing his hair.
“You don’t brush your hair in the kitchen,dummy”i said and he chuckled.
“I wanna look good for the ladies”
Jamal is like the hottest boy in college,girls are always drooling over him which is so annoying.
He’s like the bad boy who also plays basketball ball so everyone adores him.
“You know you should really think about getting rid of those contact lens,your natural grey eyes is so pretty, i don’t know why you hide it” He said and started eating.
“I like it this way,i don’t really want attention to myself, the one i get for being your twin sister is already enough”
“You had those nightmares last night” he said and i sighed.
“I know and am sorry if i woke you and mom up”
“Gigi,you know i care about you alot and i really want you to get over the past”
“Thanks, little bro”i said and he rolled his blue eyes.
Jamal has blue eyes like our mom and i have grey eyes like our dad but i hide it because I prefer it that way only my family and Ashley,my best friend have seen my eyes.
“Gigi, please don’t tell mom about that girl you saw this morning”
“Hmmm..i don’t know,i havea problem with keeping secrets unless”i said and started smirking.
“Okay,fine,what do you want?”
“You see i saw this really cool jacket at the mall downtown and i want it” i said smiling slyly.
“Okay, fine, just don’t tell mom”
“Tell mom what?” My mom asked as she walked in.
She was dressed up for work, she’s the C.E.O of the company our dad left when he died.
“Um..tell mom that we love her so much,right,Gigi?”
“Yes, that’s what we were talking about”
Our mom looked at us suspiciously then laughed it off.
“Am going to the office, there is more than enough money in the living room for you two today..and Jamal,what were those noises i heard in your room last night,did you bring a girl to our house?”
“Um..no,mom, I would never do that,you know me already”
“I know you, that’s why am asking,so did you?”
“No,mom, ask Gigi,she came into my room and didn’t see any girl”
“Is that true,Gigi?”
I looked over at Jamal,he was giving me the “Help me’ look.
“Yes,mom,i didn’t see anyone”
“Okay,bye,my cute twins” she said and kissed our cheeks, then left.
“Thanks,sis,you are a life saver”
“I also want to be the owner of that jacket at the mall”
“Okay,i will get it today” he said and i smiled.
“Hey,i noticed that Mrs Smith and her daughters have moved out of the house next door” i said and i washed i and Jamal’s plate.
“Yeah, I wonder why?”
“I know why, it’s because you slept with her 4 daughters”
“I didn’t sleep with 4 of her daughters,i slept with only three,the last one was a lesbian but she was sexy” he said and i rolled my eyes.
“Whatever, let’s head to college,i really don’t want to be late”
We locked the front door, then we hopped on Jamal’s power bike and zoomed off.

“See you later,twinny” Jamal said as he walked over to his basketball friends.
I walked over to my locker to get my books.
“Bestie” Ashley,my best friend said and she hugged me.
“Hey,Ash” i said and giggled.
“Where’s your incredibly handsome twin brother?” She asked and i rolled my eyes.
“With his friends”
“He’s so cute and so sexy”
“It’s my brother you are talking about and it’s way disgusting the way girls gush over him”
“You know guys would also be gushing over you if you open up to the world, remove those contact lenses and start to dress like a girl,you have am amazing shape,babe”
“I really don’t want attention, Ashley,i want to be alone”
“Did you have those nightmares again?”
“Yes and i think it gets terrible each day,i can’t seem to erase what happened that night out of my head”
“Everything will be over in due time”
We were walking down the hall way, Ashley was going through her phone.
“Madison just posted on the school’s website that she saw a new student registering to start in this college, she said that he’s extremely handsome, even more than your brother”
“Is that something we should be happy about? Madison is nothing but a desperate b*tch” i said and we both laughed.
Alexander’s P.o.v
Moving to another neighborhood is so stressful, i had to leave my close friends and Skylar.
Skylar is my closet friend, she’s the only friend that hasn’t thrown herself at me.
My parents just decide on anything without asking about my opinion.
They are always traveling and they don’t care about my well being,all they do is give me huge some money,then that’s it.
We finally got to our new house,when i say ‘we’, I mean my driver and i,mom and dad were too busy to move in today.
The neighborhood was nice,i looked around and saw two girls already giving me seductive faces,i looked away and walked into the house.
I picked my own room, then placed my suitcase on the bed.
I brought out my guitar and placed it on the bed.
I really want to be a singer but my dad doesn’t agree to it,he excepts me to take over his company which i have no interest in.
My mom supports everything he says even the bad things he says, it’s so annoying,i feel like nobody understands me.
I looked through my room window and i saw a girl with really long black hair.
She was removing something from her eyes like contact lenses.
I couldn’t see her face properly because she backed me,then she opened her room door and left her room.
Maybe this place wouldn’t be that bad after all.
T.B.C
I decided to open the door. Who knew what this psycho was going to try to do."Aria!" Joren looked up, his eyes shining with manic excitement. "I understood what you said last time! I wasn't good enough for you then, but things are entirely different now!"He held up a bloody contract and the ring."Look! I took the West Side docks! I proved myself! I'm worthy of you now. Marry me!" I looked at the army of armed thugs down on the street, then back at this delusional man, and just felt pity.I sighed. "Joren, stop lying to yourself. We ended a year ago. A word of advice, stop being so arrogant. Climbing up on a mountain of bodies is going to get you killed." His manic smile vanished instantly. His face twisted with rage."Why? I did all of this, what more do you want from me?!" he roared."Do you know why you cheated with Chloe?" I asked, not expecting a real answer. "Because I saw you at your lowest. Once you thought you were a big shot, looking at me just reminded you of how broke a
Joren’s eyes were bloodshot with pure, unhinged obsession."Aria! Are you gonna force me to die before you even look at me?!" he screamed like a madman in the rain, his voice dripping with chilling desperation. "If that's what it takes, I'll blow my brains out right now!" I sat comfortably in the back of the car, staring at the man I once loved. He looked like a monster completely consumed by greed and a deeply twisted ego.I watched him calmly. He was just pathetic."Joren, do you know why I hid my identity and chose to be with a broke punk like you?""Because back then, even though you had nothing, you were loyal. You had the guts to actually protect the people you loved."I didn't hold back as I shredded whatever dignity he had left. "But look at you now! You're a leech. You throw women under the bus when things get hard, and you beg like a stray dog in the mud!" The pouring rain crashed down around us. Joren froze, letting out a choked sob like a dying animal. His hand trembled v
He groaned loudly in pain, dropping to one knee in front of me, trying to use extreme guilt and our past to manipulate me one last time."Aria, it hurts..." he gasped, pale and heavily sweating. He looked up at me with pathetic, dog-like eyes. "It really hurts... I remember back then, you used to carefully bandage my wounds... I'd bleed out right here if it meant you'd forgive me." I stared blankly at the blood ruining the Persian rug.I felt absolutely nothing. My only thought was: He’s filthy. He’s ruining my floor."Joren, you think way too highly of yourself." I looked down at him. "Even if you plunged that knife directly into your heart and died right here, I wouldn't bat an eye. Take your woman and get out." Joren stared in utter shock, unable to believe the girl who used to cry over his minor scrapes was acting so ruthless."Aria! I swear it's only you!" He panicked completely when the guilt trip didn't work. "It was Chloe! She aggressively seduced me! I messed up, but I never
Under the immediate threat of death and his fragile empire crumbling, Joren threw away whatever pride he had left.He shoved Chloe away and dropped to his knees like a stray dog, frantically grabbing the hem of my dress."Aria, let me explain!" he begged, pure panic in his eyes. "Me and Chloe aren't what you think! She’s just a toy! That island party, she made it all up to show off! I never agreed to it!"He swore to the heavens. "My heart never changed! You're the only one I truly love!" Looking at his face, my stomach churned. The disgust hit its absolute peak.I violently yanked my dress away like he was a walking disease. I pulled a silk handkerchief from my bag, meticulously wiped the fingers he touched, and dropped the cloth on the floor."A toy?" I looked down at him, my eyes totally dead. "If she's just a toy, why was she lounging in my house like she owned it? Why was she bragging to everyone that this multi-million-dollar estate was your promise ring to her?" Joren froze, h
