" Liana inquired from outside the door. I sniffled and wiped my tears away. "Yes. " I lied. "Please unlock the door. " She responded as she twisted the handle. I didn’t try to respond. "It's alright, Valentina. What are you thinking about? " she asked. I blinked slowly. I wasn’t sure. "You’ll get tired of listening to me. " I murmured softly. "Just tell me. " She encouraged. At that moment, I realized that only a few people would actually want to listen to me. Who would want to ask? I sighed and dried my face with a towel. "I don’t know if I can handle this, Liana. I’m really scared. Javier could have killed me. " I said, leaving out some details. "But he didn’t. Come on, let me in. " She replied. I took a deep breath and opened the door. "You liar! " I snapped when I saw Liana pointing a gun at me. She had dece

If I were in her place, I would have been all over him, but she chose to like Lorenzo instead. "Yes, he will get angry, but I'll tell him it was my fault," I said with a smile as I handed her the gun before she could object. "Go ahead and shoot. " I pointed at the fancy vase on the other side of the room. She bit her lip but lifted the gun. "A little lower," I directed her. She followed my advice, holding her breath before perfectly hitting the vase. "What the heck! " I shouted as I watched the vase shatter. She was a better shooter than I was. Wow. "How did you pull that off? " I asked her. She shrugged and set the gun down on the coffee table. "I just aimed and fired," she replied. I wished I had learned to shoot better, but I was skilled with knives, so I didn’t worry about it. I pi
WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GOREVALENTINA POVI've really missed Lorenzo a lot. Ever since he started his new life, I barely get to see him. He still lives in Italy, but I didn't want to interfere with his happiness. I did miss that fucking annoying guy. I was really glad to see his not-so-pretty face; I bet Luca called him to come by. Lately, he's been such a thoughtful person. Do I like it? Absolutely. Liana came with Lorenzo, and I didn’t mind that. She’s actually not too bad. I guess I could get used to her. I was really let down by myself; I should have fought more fiercely. Javier was such a worthless person. I was almost out of it from losing so much blood, but I would never forgive myself if something happened to the baby. I always told myself I didn’t need anyone’s help and that I had to handle everything alone. But you know what? Javier is dead. Luca made a wrong choice, one

" Nico stumbled over his words, looking back and forth between Valentina and me. Valentina just gave him a teasing look, just like the one she had when she found out about Dante and Vix’s baby, and I didn’t. "Right, he has no idea," I said to Valentina. She nodded. He must be really confused. I would never put out an unsmoked cigarette, and Valentina would never tell me to stop smoking. "Your mother would have said something by now, right? " She smirked and crossed her arms. I shrugged. My mother was just another puzzle I didn’t want to figure out. I was honestly surprised she hadn’t told anyone else. "What's happening? " Nico asked again, clearly impatient. Valentina laughed, throwing her head back. It was a genuine laugh; I had missed hearing it. I smiled and waited until she finished. She encouraged me to tell him. "You're going t

The doctor mentioned that if the flames had touched her skin for just three more seconds, it could have resulted in lasting scars.Her wrists had gotten much better. I had learned some of what he did to her. Dante had captured one of his guys and made him spill the beans. "You did this, Luca. You killed his brother. Look at my leg. Fuck, my arm. You know this is all because of you," Valentina growled. It really was my fault. I glanced at her leg and then back at her. "I'm so sorry," I said quietly. "I really can't express how sorry I am. It's my fault, and I would have traded places with you in an instant if I could. I'm sorry, amore mio. Please forgive me. " I was still on my knees. I felt her hand gently touch my cheek, and I leaned in closer. She held my face and us
WARNING SIGNS: LANGUAGE THAT IS UNAMBIGUOUS CURSING VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE SELF-INFLICTED HARM BLOOD, DECEASE, and GORELUCA POVAfter I finished eating lunch in the kitchen, I went back upstairs. Dante nearly pushed me out of my room and insisted that I eat my food downstairs. He had to go back to Vix, and I could see why. But he stayed with me for a while because I was in a bad state. He didn’t like seeing me upset. I was also very irritable because I hadn’t slept much, and soon the tiredness was going to hit me hard. But I would have preferred to stay with her. I rubbed my eyes as I entered our bedroom. I felt welcomed by the warmth, with the lights dimmed down. The bed was made with soft silk, and no one would disturb her. Valentina was lying on the bed, wrapped up snugly. Her eyes were shut. I hadn’t seen her open them since that night. I missed those beautiful eyes. She was present but not really there. I longed for her so much. I was waiting for her to wake up. Sh
