Pulling the knitted sweater over her head and tucking it into the top of her jeans, Liviana takes a breath, having a silent debate with herself through the mirror to decide if she wanted to do her makeup or not.

She knew that if Drusilla were here, the decision would already have been made.

“You need to have a face on at all times, Liviana. Being seen without your mask is like walking the streets exposed. It’s despicable and, quite frankly, disturbing.”

Her mother’s speech would change every so often, giving the evaluation of a woman walking about without a face being similar to one of those cats without fur, something Drusilla referred to as disgusting.

But Drusilla wasn’t there, Liviana had to remind herself. Her mother wouldn’t be waiting outside the bathroom door to ridicule her for looking horrendous without her makeup to cover any and all of her flaws, such as the small beauty mark hidden by her hairline, a mark her mother constantly reminded her about by speaking of how ugly it

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Nine

    "Blaze!"He could recognize that voice anywhere - could pick it out of a million in his sleep if he had to - and the moment he hears it, he runs. He practically jumps out of the chair he was in as if it were on fire, his feet moving faster than he could think. "Armani?!" He shouts, darting for the door and chasing after the sound - after an answer. "Where are you? What's wrong?"He steps out into the hallway, head snapping in both directions before he see's something - some sort of commotion - at the end of the hall that has him rushing off before his wife can even ask what's going on. Livi frowns, watching him go with a pit of dread in her stomach. Oh God... what could possibly be wrong now?She doesn't give herself time to wonder - time to overthink or worry too much and let her cowardice get the best of her - before she's rushing after him, asking, "where is he?" As she goes, following her husband into battle blindly, just like she promised him she would. Just like she always fear

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Eight

    Silence pierced the room after his outburst, and somehow the quiet was louder than those venomous words he was spitting at her moments before - loud, unfiltered, and in equal parts both thoughtful and thoughtless, and the worst of all? They were somewhat true. And it was that raw, damn near brutal honesty that left Liviana rattled into silence, unable to speak as her mind quickly began dissecting his each and every word.The way he called her thoughtless, careless, and a damn near train wreck. How he compared her to a helpless child - lost, confused, and reliant - someone that he always had to rescue from situations that could’ve been avoided had she only used her brain - something he knew never turned off, yet remained completely useless, just as she did. The way he called her a damsel in distress who needed constant saving from herself and so, of course, he, her husband, would get burdened with the task. The way he deemed her responsible for every single thing that’s gone wrong in t

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Seven

    The siblings seem to come to an agreement rather quickly, agreeing to spend the next hour or so on their owns in order to find some sort of understanding and patience, perhaps even a little empathy, that they would be able to reapproach the situation with whenever their parents said they should. "Deal." Is all they say before they part ways - Leona marching off toward the kitchen on her own while Armani and Violet scurry toward the staircase to, no doubt, return to their sleeping quarters - the only private place someone had in this house of chaos. And when Blaze follows their lead, wrapping an arm around his own wife's shoulders and whisking her away, leading her down a dimly lit corridor and away from Amara, the only Castelli who remained in that hall - lost, alone, and full of regret. Silence seems to swallow the so-called "home" whole and the family is enveloped in the darkness of their despair, one thought left to pick at each and every one of their minds. Where the hell did the

    "Okay, you know what-" Elara cuts herself off with a sharp sigh, sucking in a deep breath a moment later as if she was doing everything she could to remain calm and keep her composure, to keep whatever patience she had left. To do so, she decides - much like her husband - that she's had enough. "That's it! I've had it!"Lucius frowns, watching his wife turn around with a face of something between fury and heartbreak. Clearly she was at war with not only herself, but everyone else. And she was losing all around. He could hardly stand the sight of it - her pain, that torn up look on her face that told a million little tales of sorrow - and he quickly steps in to aid her, rushing down the steps and to her side. "What is it, mi Amor? Are you all right?" He meets her at the bottom, having practically flown down the stairs at a lightning speed no human had ever seen, let alone achieved, and places a gentle hand on her back, walking with her toward the main kitchen."No!" She shakes her head

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Five

    Blaze and Liviana were stuck, held hostage under his own mother's scrutinizing gaze and an insatiable need for her kids' reconciliation.It was a matter that three of them insisted had nothing to do with her, and so she shouldn't be meddling. Elara should mind her own business. Her youngest child said otherwise.Amara was practically weeping when she curled into her mother's side, tucking herself under the safety of the arm that doesn't hesitate to wrap itself around her shoulders and pull her close. She leans into the touch, practically melting into a puddle of tears as she cries and asks Elara for her help. Begs and pleads for her not to leave, to protect her like she always promised she would, having sworn she'd never let anyone hurt her because what else was a mother's job for if not to protect her children?Well, Elara wasn't sure. She couldn't fathom what could ever be more important to a parent than their children's well-being, even if that child happened to be somewhat of an u

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Four

    Blaze and Liviana wanted to leave.They thought it, said it, felt it, and eventually, they even tried it - tried storming right past his family and through those front doors, the same ones that shut behind them when they walked into this hell hole a mere hour ago and now, for whatever sickening reason, couldn't leave.The doors wouldn't open.It didn't matter how much they twisted the handle and tugged, yanked, used all their might to turn it and pull, they couldn't get those damn doors to open. They tried and tried and tried, struggling to get out of this place they began to suspect was a trap all along - they were just too stupid, too distracted to see - but it wouldn't budge.Livi and Blaze were stuck."What is this?!" Blaze spun around, demanding answers from his family, who crowded the landing at the top of the stairs. "Why the hell won't the open?" Eyes zeroing in on his sister's, who seemed to be the cause of most of their life's issues as of late. "What did you do?!"Leona is
