Re-Arranged Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Six
The walk through the manor was long and painful, tedious in the way each step felt heavier, harder, more final than the last. Honestly, Livi felt like she was walking herself off a cliff, diving into something she couldn't come back from, and it was dreadful; every step closer felt like a push, a plea, a sentence, and she couldn't help but question everything. What if this was a trap, just like she thought? What if they were upset? Hateful? Vengeful? What if they'd heard the rumors? The stories she and Blaze had fueled lately - the ones about bar crawls and brawls, family problems, marital problems, and worst of all, abuse. All those reckless little moments that Blaze swore he would fix - the ones he said he would take care of before they could become a problem, promising that he could fix it, that his family would protect them, but alas, here they were. Baited, trapped, treated like prey as his parents played them both for fools. And there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it.
Re-Arranged Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Five
Arriving at the Castelli estate was nerve-wracking - damn near terrifying, if she were being honest- and Liviana didn't know what to do with herself. She sat quietly, hands twisted in her lap and her lip trapped between her teeth, eyes wide as she stared up at the house before them, as large and intimidating as ever. She hated to think what - or who - could be waiting for them inside, what kind of trouble they'd be in for once they walked through the doors. "What if this is just a trap?" She murmured, turning to Blaze with her big, sad eyes, all panicked and wide and searching for comfort, reassurance, anything. "What if they're still upset about the last time we were here?" "I'm sure it's fine," he uttered, dismissive yet promising, landing a hand on her knee and giving it a short squeeze. "They wouldn't have wanted us here if it wasn't. And besides, even if they were, we'll have to hash it out sooner or later, no?" She barely bit back a scoff when she asked, "And we have to do t

The hotel room was lovely. It was safe, comfortable, accommodating, and most importantly, a well-kept secret. No one could reach them. Nobody knew where they were or what they were doing, and Liviana loved it. For the first time in a long time, she felt free. At ease. And she only had her husband to thank for it. Blaze has spent the day doting on her, watching her every move closely and attending to her every want and need, jumping whenever she said to and merely asking how high and what else he could do. Anything for you, he'd said again and again—anything to help.Anything to make life a little easier, even if it meant risking his. Even if it cost him his family - their love and affection and the benefits that came with being one of the great Castelli's, all the things they've worked so hard for...It was his life's work, and he was willing to give it all up for her at the drop of a dime; all she had to do was say the word. And the moment she did, everything changed. He'd made sure

"What does that mean?" "Liviana-" No, Tino." She held up a hand, as if to stop and warn him all at once, a sharp, accusing look in her glassy eyes. "What does that mean?" The man snapped his mouth shut, scratching at his furrowed brow as he turned away, torn. He'd already said too much... "Tino-" He shook his head, turning back. "I can't," he said. "I can't talk about this with you." Livi quirked a brow, pointing a finger at her own chest. "With me?" His jaw tightened and slowly, almost reluctantly, he nodded. "I just-" he sighed. "I can't do this, Liviana. Not now. Not with you, and certainly not after... That." "Why not?" She pressed, insisting on answers anyway. After all, they'd come all this way, and they'd been through too much to turn back now.Besides, he owed her this. "You wouldn't understand," he persisted, another shake of his head. "You're not even supposed to know about this! About any of it!" Blaze scoffed, loud enough to turn heads and draw Tino's eyes to his

"So, what's this all about?" Liviana's startled by the sudden, loud sound of her brother's voice as he dropped into the chair opposite her, huffing out a deep breath from the impact. "Tino-" "No, no, no. None of that," he interrupted her with a sharp look. "No beating around the bush, alright? Just tell me what this is about. What did you wanna talk to me for so badly?" Beside her, Blaze had to bite his tongue, his jaw clenching and his hand, which rested on the table in front of him, curling into a fist in a show of his restraint. God, he hated Tino.He hated the way he treated Liviana, his wife - the man's own sister, for crying out loud - and how she just let him. How Liviana shut up and took it - took it all, nodded and played into the dynamic, playing nice despite herself, and the bruise tainting the delicate skin of her neck, once perfect and untouched.It was all so bizarre, like some dramatic scene out of a dark book, and he almost couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe hi

"You guys go ahead. I'll meet you there." "What?" Liviana hardly had a chance to process his words, let alone argue, before her brother turned on his heel and marched off in the opposite direction. "What are you- wait!" she called, dropping her husband's hand to chase after him. "Tino, where are you going?!" "Don't worry about it!" He shouted, already sliding into the driver's seat of his car. "I'll meet you there!" Came the same promise, louder this time, and just as unbelievable."Tino!" She called after him, taking a single step in his direction before pausing, sighing, and realizing it was pointless; he was already gone - starting his car to pull down the long driveway and through the gates, disappearing down the road before she could get a real word in, left behind without so much as a second thought. After everything, she hated to think she expected better than this from him. She expected more. Another apology, maybe, or an explanation. Anything other than this - nothing. Li

"He's here." The words Liviana Santora had been anticipating all week, ever since she made the deal of marrying Blaze in place of her sister, just so Emilia could be free. Livi had spent the past seven days preparing for this moment, the moment she would meet the man she was to spend the rest of
Re-Arranged Chapter One Hundred and Forty Two
Liviana didn't know what to do with herself. She didn't know what to say, where to sit or where to look - didn't even know where to put her own hands.Her head was empty, mind blank, wiped clean by the anxiety that leaves her with nothing but that sinking feeling in her gut.She tries to ignore it.

Dinner ended soon after that, when Elara brought up the possibility of Liviana becoming the next mafia queen.Conversation died down and as soon as their dishes were empty, everyone rushed off in desperation of getting away from the tension that just kept getting thicker with each passing second, s
Re-Arranged Chapter Three | The First Dinner
The two families sat at the large dining table together, Liviana placed between Leona and Tino, sitting across from Blaze, who still refused to acknowledge her existence. Silence surrounded them and so far, no one dared to break it. Liviana sat nervously in her seat, lip pulled between her teeth
