View MoreThe front door creaked open, and she knew without even lifting her head from the pillow, that he was home.
She lay still for a moment, heart already tightening in her chest, then forced herself out of bed. The cold floor bit into her bare feet as she padded toward the hallway, every step weighted with dread. Her uncle, Simone Rizzo, was already seated on the couch. He looked up as she entered the room, his smile tight, eyes unreadable. “You’re up, Alessia,” he said, voice smooth with a false warmth Alessia had grown to hate. “Couldn’t sleep,” She replied, brushing a hand through her tangled hair. “Welcome back.” He nodded, eyes dragging over her in a way that always made her skin crawl, like she was a damn prey. Not family. Not someone he’d raised. “I made dinner,” she said quickly, trying to fill the silence. “I’ll heat it up.” She turned toward the kitchen, but he called after her. “You look different lately,” he said. “Like you’re not a little girl anymore.” She froze, back still turned to him. Her throat dried instantly, and she swallowed the bitter taste rising behind her tongue. “Thanks, I guess.” She walked faster, not giving him the chance to say anything else. Inside the kitchen, she moved on autopilot, reheating the lasagna, setting out plates, avoiding the sharp twist of unease in her stomach. But then she felt him behind her. Too close. Too quiet. “Zio?” She asked, not turning around. No response. She stiffened. She could clearly feel his presence, like static in the air, filled with something unspoken. Her hands trembled as she reached for the plates, trying to pretend everything was fine. But everything was not fine. And when she finally turned to face him, something in his expression confirmed what she’d been too scared to admit for years: this house was no longer safe. "You look good tonight." He said again, his thick Italian accent becoming stronger when he said, 'Tonight' Alessia's smile faltered as she looked into her uncle's eyes. She glanced down at her outfit and back at him, ignoring the fear in her stomach. "Zio, there's nothing special in the outfit. I'm dressed homely.“ she laughed awkwardly. "Oh, I'll have whatever you made." He suddenly blurted out as if she had asked. He could barely contend with his inner desires as he watched her perfect legs in the shorts. He reached into his pants to stroke his already hard member as he envisioned her lying on his bed with her legs parted before him. He didn’t care if this woman before him was his niece. All that mattered was the curves of her body, the ones he had watched grow. 'Fuck!' He murmured. Alessia felt movements behind her again and she couldn't hold it this time as she turned slowly to face him again. "Zio?!" Alessia let out a scream in panic at the sight of her uncle stroking behind her. His cock was already out in the open as he watched her with his lust filled eyes. “Lessy, I know this is wrong, but no one cares about this types of things here in Reggio Calabria. Just let me have a taste of you, I promise not to tell." He pleaded as he took a steps closer to her. Alessia shook her head continuously. "Zio, you even know that this is wrong! What the hell?! I can't be doing this with you, stay away!" She stepped back, trying to get away from him. But Simone had already made up his mind to taste the forbidden fruit tonight after waiting for so many years, nothing could stop him now. He lunged himself at her and immediately held both of her hands the moment she tried to protest. "You're mine and mine alone to enjoy!" He whispered into her ears and bent down before she could resist again. He lifted her off the ground and threw her over his shoulders. "Zio! You can't do this to me! I'm your niece! Zio!" Alessia kept yelling as tears filled her already moist eyes. She wished the ground could open up and swallow them both instead. Never had she envisioned herself losing her first time to her uncle, it was better to die. Simone paid no attention to her pleas as he pushed his room door open with a bang, directly knocking it off its position. He would think of the fixing later, for now, he had his niece to enjoy. He threw her onto his bed and hurriedly began to pull his belt off. Alessia cursed her fate and stubbornness. If only she had listened to Grace, her best friend, she would never have been in this situation. A few days back, Grace had forced her to come along as she was going to get some self-defense training. Alessia had informed her that she didn't need one as she didn't have a dangerous job that required that. Grace worked at the club famously known as the Devil's Den, the Number one biggest club in the entire City. "Zio, why are you doing this?" At this point, Alessia's tears fell continuously as she questioned the only man she looked up to from a young age. Simone acted obviously to her words and just chuckled. "Your mother abandoned you here for me to take care of, the least you could do for me is allow me to have a taste of you as repayment." He muttered as he threw his belt to the side. Alessia shook her head in denial, "Zio I can repay you by working hard and making enough money, but please let me go." "You don't need to work hard, my love. If I can have just one taste of this body, I don't need any more repayments and I promise to let you go." He replied instead and climbed into the bed, pulling both of her retracted legs forward and parting them the moment she was close enough. Alessia screamed, but not without checking her sides to see if there was anything she could use to save herself from this doom about to befall her. Just when Simone buried his head in her neck, she caught sight of his baseball bat at the far end of the bedroom. Knowing she couldn't reach it, she shut her eyes and bared her teeth to sink them into Simone's shoulders. The moment her teeth met his shoulder, she bit hard on it, earning a bone-chilling scream from Simone who immediately let her go. With this opportunity given, she climbed out of the bed and rushed over to the bat, picking it up, she struck Simone so hard on his head that he saw stars and directly fell to the cold hard floor, going limp at once. "Serves you right for laying your filthy hands on me!" She spat and threw the bat at him as well. With no other option left, she decided to leave. Her staying in this house was already counted off on the list and even God in heaven wouldn't hesitate to punish her like a little bitch if she dared to stay back. With her mind made up, she ran out of the house, leaving her belongings behind as well. Simone could do whatever he wanted with them. This time, she would stay far away from him and try to leave happily. Little did she know that this day would mark the start of her endless fight for survival.The next day, Grace arrived at the airport, ready to board the plane to her dream country.Everything she ever dreamed of was coming true, although it looked like everything was falling apart at first, it eventually came together.Standing at the airport gates and clutching her ticket tightly, she couldn’t help but look back over her shoulder. Sicily had been her home, the place where she had laughed, cried and grown. Her heart swelled with a mix of nostalgia and excitement as memories washed over her: moments of laughter with Alessia, sneaking out on wild journies, quiet nights where she and Dante would talk and cuddle until dawn. She had always dreamed of seeing the world, but leaving this life wasn’t easy. Yet, knowing that her best friend was now happy, married, and building a family of her own made it feel right. She had her dreams to chase, after all.Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the gate, trying to push aside the ache in her heart. Just as she took a step forward,
Grace was so excited that she couldn’t stop rambling on and on as she picked out the perfect wedding dress for her dear Alessia. A proud smile crossed Alessia’s face as she watched her best friend getting so excited about her wedding. She was surprised when Grace told her that Dante had also proposed to her. But Grace being Grace had rejected the proposal. To her, she wanted to go to school first.“Do you have to go to school?” Alessia asked as she glared at Grace who wouldn’t stop grinning. “Ali, we’ve talked about this before. You know I’ve always wanted to go to school in the US. Besides, it’s just 4 years.” She said and pouted.“But I don’t want you to leave,” Alessia pouted also.Grace teared up, moving to hug her friend. “Sorry my baby,” she muttered. “But if you’re happy for me, you’ll wish me well instead of crying.” Grace poked, earning a jab from Alessia.The manager of the mall watched them with a smile, wondering how these two managed to push through life to this day. Wh
A month later, Salvatore walked into Devil's Den to find Marco who had invited him there. When he arrived, he met with Selena waiting for him by the corner. “Welcome, please come with me." She said, knowing he was Marco's guest. Salvatore watched her face for a while and nodded. He followed her as they both got into the elevator and went up to the second floor. Ever since Marco and Salvatore made up, they rekindled their previous friendship. They would often drink and go for meetings together, it made Dante feel betrayed, but of course, they never left him behind. When Selena and Salvatore arrived at the top floor where the supposed Marco was supposed to be waiting for him, he found the place empty.“Where is he?" He asked as he sat on one of the couches in the room.“I presume he is on his way," Selena said robotically. Salvatore smirked, baffled by how she took this mafia work even more seriously than the men.He wondered if she ever smiled in her life considering she was always
When Salvatore walked in fully, everyone including Alessia excused themselves to give the two some privacy.Now left alone in the hospital room, Marco smirked and said, “So it's you? You're that one stubborn mercenary." “That's a wonderful way to apologize, Marco," Salvatore said, moving to sit on the chair by the hospital bed.Marco's brow creased in confusion, “Apologize? For what?" He asked.“Please don't act like you don't know the reason we drifted apart." The smile on Tore’s face disappeared, replaced by a serious look.Seriously, Marco didn't understand what he was talking about. “I still don't get you. We drifted apart because your father hated my family." “Are you kidding me? We were friends even after the rift began. That wasn't the reason." Salvatore reminded him, this time he could feel his anger building up in him.Marco stayed silent, trying to recall what exactly had transpired between them in the past. The only thing he remembered was that Salvatore had a girlfriend…
It took Marco two days to finally wake up. When he did, he felt a bit strange. This time, the thing on his face had been removed and his right there was someone else face.Alessia sat beside him, or more like lay beside him on the bed, her dark circles visible and a sign that she hadn't slept well in a while.Marco smiled, then reached out a hand to pat her hair.What happened when he was asleep and how long it had been?When Alessia felt a hand on her hair, she immediately opened her eyes.Her eyes met his and a surprised look consumed her face. “Marco?" She asked carefully, trying to make sure she wasn't hallucinating again.“Mia Cara." He muttered to convince her that she wasn't seeing things.Alessia jerked up instantly and called his name again. “Marco?" “You aren't hallucinating, Baby." Marco chuckled.And before he could guess her next move, she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly.“Oh my goodness! You're awake! You're finally awake!"Alessia pulled away slightly, her
Alessia stared at Marcel and Salvatore, especially Dante. She was confused as to why their faces looked so worried. “Alessia…” Delilah’s voice called from the side. Alessia turned to see who the voice belonged to. Of course she knew that familiar voice.When she saw Delilah, her eyes widened in shock. "Delilah? You're here?” She asked, unknowingly walking over to Delilah. Delilah smiled through the tears coming out of her eyes and immediately hugged Alessia. "It's so good to see you again, Alessia.” She muttered, patting her back.Alessia pulled away from her and smiled thinly. “Why are you crying? Did you miss me that much?" She teased, wanting to make the old lady smile.Delilah chuckled, wiping her tears. “Yes." She said, though it was a lie. She missed Alessia, but she was more concerned about Alessia's reaction if she saw the current Marco.Alessia was confused by the worried faces of everyone. Wasn't getting Marco out a good thing? Why did they all look sad?“What happened?" S
