Chapter 122*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*With trembling hands, I knock once on the door.“Come in,” Mother’s firm voice echoes from the inside.Throughout the walk here, I have been guessing, trying to figure out and put together reasons why Mother would summon me to her office.Did Sister Maria find evidence to use against me?Or does Mother know I saw her that night, taking Sister Lois away.Why would she call me? What have I done wrong?Left with no answers and more questions, I pull the door handle, taking a step into the office. The sight that greets me is definitely not what I expected.“Gemma?” My heart is filled with joy as I make a run towards her, my arms wrapping around her, soaking in the familiarity. It's been long I have seen family.“You are here,” The words leave my mouth the moment I pull away. She nods, her face beaming with smiles. “Are you not happy to see me?”I shake my head immediately, “No. That's not it. Of course I'm happy to see you. Why wouldn't I be?”
Chapter 121••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••“You heard what he said. Back off,” Marco reminds me the moment we are alone. I pull up a chair beside him, “I know what he said.”“And you're choosing to ignore? Not very wise if you ask me.”My gaze is still pinned on the laptop screen when I respond, “I'm not ignoring him. I'm only… cleaning up a few things.”His fingers pause on the keyboard, “A few?”“Yes, Marco. A few.”He doesn't say anything else after that for a moment, his attention entirely on retrieving the data I'm desperately looking for.“Do you think the prisoner said the truth? You know, about the theories regarding the nun?” The question breaks the silence, causing me to think about the man’s revelation.“At this point, I don't know what to fucking believe. Different theories, different names and different people every fucking time.”“Well have you noticed anything unusual about her? Something that could link her to our enemy? You know Alessandro may be right about her bei
Chapter 120••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••Alessandro’s fists slams into the desk, the desk rattling under the intensity.That only meant one thing.He was furious. Not just furious, but seething-rage furious.“Because I fucking need my Enforcer back to his senses. I need his head back in the game.”I look him dead in the eye, surprised at how calm my voice is, “I'm in my fucking senses. My head is in the game.”Alessandro rubs his hand over his face slowly, like a man questioning every single life choice that led him to this moment. I also know that means he's struggling to contain his anger.We are all sitting in the boardroom. The one place we come together and make certain business decisions, certain threats and end up walking away untouched. The one thing I noticed when I walked into the boardroom was that nobody was drinking.That wasn't a good sign at that point.In our world, men drink when business is normal. When nobody touches the whiskey, it means someone is about to lea
Chapter 119••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••“Today, I'm going to make simple for you. Simple for the both of us,” I grab his jaw and force him to look back at me. ”At the end of the day, whatever goes on here all boils down to the decisions you make in here.”He breathes too hard, his eyes tracking routes, corners, around the room. Just anything that would serve as an escape route. It's a ridiculous cause.He won't find anything.He's been down here in my cage for approximately 82 days, if I'm counting well. The man doesn't look recognizable, but that's fine. Makes me want to get things over with.He is one of the men who attacked Elizabeth at the party. We got hold of two actually.One died because I was way too hot-tempered to control my anger, and I killed the dude without hearing more from him.And this one before me? The second.I'm not taking chances with this one. I'm fucking gonna get all the information I need, even if it means ushering new techniques.I let go of his jaw, ta
Chapter 118*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*“And yes, I know you weren't alone. I know you weren't praying in there. I know exactly what you were up to, Sister Elizabeth,” she reveals, the victorious glint in her eyes matching her words.I swallow hard, trying to think of something—anything. “What? You don't know what to say anymore? Because last night you sounded like you had a lot to say,” Sister Maria continues, still crossing her arms, waiting for an explanation from me.Honestly, I still don't know why she hates me so much. I have never done anything wrong to her.Perhaps some people simply need someone to hate to gain peace. Some people including Sister Maria.And for years, I made myself an easy target.I was quiet. I apologized too much. I cried too easily. I never fought back.Yet, she still doesn't like me.“Whatever it is you're talking about, I'm very sure you're wrong. I was in my room, having a good night rest. It's all in your imagination.”She laughs. “Oh, don't insul
Chapter 117*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*I pull the blankets higher, trying to ward off the sun trying to break in through the windows.I'm about to resume sleeping when the sound of the bells fills my ears, letting me know it's time for morning prayers soon. Which also means one thing—I'm not outside anymore. I am in the convent… in my room.I crack one eye open, studying my environment, then open the other eye. This is actually my room and I'm not imagining things.Last night, I remember the time at the shower, the bike ride with Luciano, but I don't remember getting in bed and tucking myself in.A smile creeps up my face, making my cheeks turn red when I realize it might have been his doing. Slowly, I try to get off the bed, the little soreness in between my thighs reminding me of what we did yesterday.I keep replaying them, scene after scene until I get to the part where my new-found realization dawned on me. Where I realized I have feelings for him.My mood changes instant
Chapter 63 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• I'm feeling fucking homicidal right now. I don't think I have ever needed to kill someone as much as I want to now. She doesn't want to give me a name, hint or something close enough. She's hiding the identity of whoever did this to her like the person
Chapter 61 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* I'm convinced the Lord is punishing me for all my sins. There's no other explanation, none at all. And the gut wrenching part is that he's punishing everyone too for my mistakes. I associated with a man I shouldn't have, now the entire convent ha
Chapter 62*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*“Lord forgive him for he knows exactly what he's doing,” I whisper to myself, my eyes slowly closing, my body trying to adapt to the newly-found warmth emanating from his.“You're right Sister, I know exactly what I'm doing.” I froze the moment the words l
