Forty Eight
"Landon?"
My heart sank. What the hell? What was sweet, sweet Landon who brought me pizza and brownies and made me laugh and watch Harry Potter with me doing here? The truth was hard to take in.
I clenched my eyes shut, crying a lot more. Out of all the scenarios I had expected to play out, this had not been one of them. Of all the people in the world, it had to be him? I don't know what hurt more, my broken nose, or his betrayal.
"Hi, Izzy." He said.
I shook my head hard. This was a dream. This had to be a dream. Landon wouldn't...
But no matter how much I tried to lead myself astray from the truth, Landon had betrayed me. Landon was part of the Russian Mob.

Turns out the Riveras had actually financed a wing of the hospital, which was the reason they enjoyed so much prestige her. I had just thought it was a mafia thing.I was currently in Mariano's room just chilling around him when Emilio peeped in through the door."Hey!" He greeted me, and handed me a packet. "I got you a proscuitto sandwich."Yum."Thanks!" Mariano chimed in, "I'm really hungry."Emilio hesitated. "Its not for you. The nurse will get you your food,fratello."I giggled.

For the last few months, there had been, only about, four days, when I had a good night's sleep. I had demons. And the night reminded me exactly why. My demons appeared vividly in my dreams. Each time I tried to forget, they reappeared. I couldn't escape them, no matter how hard I tried. This was something I was sure I would never escape, something that would always remain a part of me. Sometimes it felt like my past was embedded into my soul, I could feel its remnants flow through my body every passing day.My dreams - nightmares - were characterised by similarity. Most days, it was like an episode on repeat. Some days though, it was more real, more horrifying, and I felt everything down to my bones. It was

I was so glad that only Luca, and not Alessandro was the one taking me home. I really didn't like that guy. He was scary and looked like a cannibal. I kept thinking he’d rip out a part of my skin and chomp on it in front of my eyes."Ti sei divertito , giglio?"Luca asked as I strapped myself in the passenger seat of his Bugarti.(Did you have fun, lily?)

She looked at me weird - because, who'd deny a chance to wait on that sexy piece of a man?She pushed her chest into his face, smiling coquettishly at him as she asked him what he wante

We pulled in back to where I had been last night. The old decrepit building where Luca had brought me. Did he live here? He looked rich enough. He could rent a small flat, at the least?"Do you live here?" I asked Mariano the moment we stopped."Sometimes."
