CALISTA'S P. O. V

I had tried to run away once.

I was fifteen, Young, and scared for my life. I can still remember the night clearly in my mind. My tutor had finished my lessons that day since I was being homeschooled. My father was having a meeting with Mr Orsini— Matteo's now-deceased father.

I usually stayed in my room whenever my father was around. I knew he tolerated me because I was his only child - his heir. Mr Orsini was another reason why I chose to lock myself up in my room that evening.

He was a bald, creepy man with an unsettling presence. The way he looked at me always made my skin crawl; I never felt comfortable around him. On the rare occasions when we crossed paths, like at parties and formal events, I would always find him watching me with lewd eyes.

He had been watching me for a long time before I turned fifteen, and if my father ever noticed his friend always staring at his daughter like he was undressing her in his mind, Anito Vitale never said anything about it.

    CALISTA'S P. O. VIt was my first time on the streets of Toledo.Day nine. Nine days with my life playing before my eyes like it belonged to somebody else.I pulled Aunt Lena's coat tighter around me. “Come on Calista.” She said with a smile as we rounded around the street. “This way”I nodded my head once, following behind her wild locks of deep blue.Toledo didn't feel much different from Chicago. Maybe it wasn't the same, but it did feel like much to me.The sky was still grey, and the breeze was still cold. Buildings lined the streets, and people moved with the same hurried focus, coffees in their hands, children in tow, babies in strollers, cars honking, dogs barking, ducks quacking, people talking, feet moving, children singing, babies crying, wind blo.....“Are you alright Calista?” Aunt Lena's nasal voice snapped me out of my thoughts I blinked, my mind snapping back to time. “Yes, yes I'm fine,” I answered. “Where are we going again?”She smiled at me like she knew I was mo

    ROMAN'S P. O. VI will bring her home today.I knew it deep in my bones that I would bring Callie home today, and when I did, there would be no more secrets between us, no more lies and unspoken feelings, and no more guest rooms.“Is that a...smile?” Alberto asked behind me, his tone slightly puzzled.I immediately schooled my face into the hard frown I was known for, my arms crossed as we watched the tech team shuffle nervously over thier laptops and monitors.It had been eight days of agonizing hell. Eight days of nothing. I had stood in Toledo myself, scanning the streets to see if she might just suddenly materialize, I paid people off, asked questions, got into clubs and bars using fake identities, searched for her, and had my tech team search every camera in Ohio's surveillance system to see if she was caught on them.Nothing.But I didn't lose hope; if I lost hope, that meant I'd lost her, and that was simply unacceptable.I waited with bated breath as we watched the tech team.

  • The Devil's Little Angel    Chapter 51

    ROMAN'S P. O. V At first, it was rage.I had wanted to kill something. Someone. I barked out orders, stormed into the staff quarters, and started a ruckus; I stayed up at night at my gym, pouring my rage into the punching bag until I tore it. I had smashed my fist into a wall and left my knuckles bleeding; I would have set the world ablaze if it could bring her back to me.But that anger didn't last; It turned into something else. Regret, maybe. Grief? Seems like it. Whatever it was, it was a bone-deep ache that pressed me like a titanic weight. I could hardly breathe with it. It killed me with the indispensable need to feel her near me again, even if she won't speak to me, even if she won't smile my way, just knowing that she's here and knowing that she's safe, just breathing in the same space, I could try to be content with that.Now… as in this very moment, it’s something darker, not the darkness that burns; in a way, it's quieter. Like a deep void I've lost myself in. I don't kno

    ROMAN'S P.O.VI tightened my grip on the steering wheel, speeding off to the meth lab.My nose flared. I would have still been in Ohio if it weren't for fúcking Declan. Now I have to deal with him while Callie remains gone. Once I get my hand on the slimy bastard, I'll make him pay for every second I'm wasting not searching for my wife.I came to a halt when I reached the lab; it was located at the edge of the industrial district; from a distance, it looked like nothing more than a forgotten rusty warehouse, but it was more. The outside was kept this way on purpose; the inside, however, was a fortress.Lucas was outside, his arms folded, headphones in. The moment he saw me climb down my car, he yanked them away and jogged over.I had him come over here since I needed his skills for our situation.“Any luck yet?” Lucas asked, his usual cheerful voice flat. Just like Nonna, he suspected that I had done something to Calista to make her run away.I didn't dignify him with a response. Not

    CALISTA'S P. O. V“Tell me everything.”I whispered, staring at the green tea that had gone cold. I knew there was more, more she was holding back. Aunt Lena sighed, she took my hand in hers “Calista, it's been a long day for you. Get some rest, we have all the time to talk.” I nodded absentmindedly, my mind still reeling; I flickered a glance at where our hands were connected, then back at the tea. “I want to hear it now.”She heaved a resigned breath out. “If you insist, but first let me get you some hot tea, you'll need it.”Aunt Lena stood up and took the porcelain cups in her hand, she walked into her kitchen with it. I sat there, unmoving and sunken. My hollow eyes traced the pattern of the carpeted floor. I tried to move my limbs, but I couldn't feel my legs, my arms, or even my head. But inside me, I was screaming, pulling my hair out, and laughing like a deranged patient in an asylum.I was never supposed to happen. I was the reason why my mother was tied to my heartless

    CALISTA'S P.O.VThe bathroom tiles were the color of washed-out plum, and I stared at them longer than I needed to, like I was planning to commit every detail, every faded color and crack to memory.I heard a sob somewhere, loud and sad. I didn't even know if it was mine or Aunt Lena's. Another followed almost immediately, shaking my shoulder with it—Yep, it was mine.I reached to touch my face with cold, numb fingers. So this was what an out of body experience felt like. I couldn't feel myself, I didn't know myself.The mirror above the sink was fogged with steam, I wiped it clean, but even when I did, my reflection still looked foreign.A brother.I had a brother.Had my whole life been a lie? Who was I?I let the scalding hot water run over my skin, bruising me red. My mind was frozen, my body moved on its own like a machine being controlled by someone else.Shampoo. Rinse. Towel. Shampoo. Towel. Shampoo. Towel. RinseI jerked back to my consciousness, the water had turned l
