I woke up with a headache. For the first time in a while, I slept comfortably. I don't remember falling asleep yesterday. I stayed in bed a little bit more. But after a couple of seconds, it hit me. I shut out of the bed and looked around. I spot Aaron lying in a chair next to my bed, looking at me with a worried look. ''What the hell are you doing here?'' I say with an angry tone. ''Are you ok?'' he says, getting up from the chair. ''Why do you care how am I?'' ''Elly please don't act like a child.'' He says getting closer to me. ''Do not come fucking near me,'' I say, raising my hand to keep him away from me. ''Elly don't be like this, please,'' he says, coming even closer. "Leave right now." ''I don't want you anywhere near me. "GET OUT,'' I yell, and he looks at me with a sad face before he turns his back and gets out of the room. He hurt me. He told me I was meaningless, and I believed him. I lay on the bed, wrapped myself in a blanket, and started crying silently. After ho
I wake up to a knock on my door. I get out of bed and reach for my phone to see the time. It was 6 a.m. Who the hell is up at 6 a.m.? I reach for the door and unlock it, only to see Aiden coming inside the room with a furious face.''Good morning to you too,'' I say sarcastically.''You are leaving?'' He says looking me dead in the eye with a disappointed look.''Oh, so Aaron told you. Yes, I am leaving.'' I say trying to keep an emotionless face. It breaks my heart to leave Aiden behind, but I don't want to put anyone in danger because of me.''And where are you going?'' Aiden asks in an angry tone.''I don't know but far from here. Maybe I will go to a new town and start my new life there.''''Elly why? We can protect you here. You don't have to leave.''''Aiden I am sorry, but I have made my decision, whether you like it or not. I will not put any of you in danger because of me. ''''Elly your joking? Right? We're in the mafia. Everywhere we go, we're in danger.''"Yeah, but this o
The rest of the day was spent eating. I can't remember when I last ate that much. Giovanni went out so he could finish some work and try to learn something more about Alberto, but we both knew that there wasn't much to learn here. We have to go to Sicily. Aiden said that Alberto and Domenic lived there but never crossed their territories. After their "big conflict," they never crossed paths again. No one knew the reason for their conflict or how it started, but one thing was clear: one wrong move, and the third global war would start. I was in the living room watching TV and decided to take a shower. I got to the bathroom and started filling the tub and putting some shampoo in there so it could create some bobbles. I took my clothes off and got in the tub, relaxing my muscles in the warm water. My mind couldn't think of anything else but Bella. I was laying in the tub with my eyes closed when I heard the bathroom door slam open and saw Giovanni standing in front of me. ''Hey. You k
"Elly, get your fat ass out. You've been in that bathroom for two hours.'' I huffed in annoyance and finally put some red lipstick on. I look at myself in the mirror, and to be honest, I am satisfied. I am getting better at this. ''Elly. I need to go to the bathroom. Pleeeeease.'' I could hear his pleading tone, which only put a smirk on my face.''And I am done,'' I say, getting out of the bathroom.''Oh. Waw," Giovanni said, and I could see the lost look in his eyes. "Well, I expected you to look like a clown but I guess you are getting pretty good at this.'' I smacked him on the shoulder, making sure to hurt him. He let out a chuckle, and I headed to my bedroom. I decided to wear my short, tight black dress. It was the only one I brought with me, so it'll do the work. I started undressing. I go to my luggage and pull out my dress. I was only wearing my black panties and bra and I could feel the cold air hit my body as goosebumps appeared all over my body. I finally found the dress
''So Elly. What brought you here?'' Alberto tells me his gun never leaves my head. He pressed it harder as he pushed me into one of the club's rooms and locked the door. I could feel the fear rising in me, but that didn't help stop the words from coming out of my mouth. ''Well. Let me say I came here to kill you,'' I say as I take a seat in a chair that is near me. Keep yourself together, Elly. If you break, you're dead. ''And what makes you think you can do that?'' he says as he lets out a chuckle. I stare at him. There is no emotion on my face as I look at him and then at the gun. ''Oh come Elly. Do you really think you can take me down?'' he says in a sarcastic tone. ''What makes you think I can't?'' I feel a wave of confidence rushing through my body. ''You think that killing me is going to bring you peace,'' he says in his deep Italian accent ''You think that if you put a bullet in my head, it will make your Isabella come back,'' he says as he takes another chair and takes a s
The person that is not scared of death doesn't exist. Every human being is scared of death in their own way. Death is such a scary and mysterious concept that it sometimes creeps me out. What happens to us after we die? This is a question that will never get an answer anytime soon. They say dying for the people you love makes you not fear death, but seeing your loved ones die is a different kind of feeling. It's like a part of your soul was cut off and you are never going to be the same. Losing my mum one of the people that truly cared for me was hard and came with a lot of pain but I got used to that pain and tried to live with it. Sometimes I feel like she is here with me but every time I open my eyes she vanishes. She died because of cancer two years ago, and as for my father. I have no idea who he is. According to my mom, he abandoned us when I was three years old. She never mentioned him, and I have no idea what he looks like or what his name is. There are no photos of us, not e
It's finally Saturday. I get out of bed and go to my phone to check the time. It's 12:34, and I've got the whole weekend ahead of me. It's not that I am going somewhere, but I can finally relax, watch TV, and sleep as long as I want. I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. I decided to take a bath, so I started to fill the bathtub with warm water and placed a coconut bath bomb in it.While I waited for the tub to fill, I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of white wine, which happens to be my favorite, and grabbed the book I'm currently reading. I walked to the bathroom, locked the door behind me, undressed, and jumped into the tub. I rest as I feel the warmth throughout every inch of my body and relax my muscles thanks to the warm water and the coconut scent. I begin reading my novel, which talks about a boy who is a mafia leader and falls in love with his childhood best friend. I don't know why, but I have always had sympathy for mafia books. The way they think,
We talked about almost everything that had happened to us this year all night. I looked at the time and was surprised to see that it was 6:30."Could you maybe tell me the time?" Bella asks, her face exhausted and intoxicated. We drank a lot. We went down with three bottles of wine. "My phone died before you arrived to pick me up, and I neglected to charge it," she says."It's 6:30," I reply."I'm so hungry," I say as I go to the kitchen and begin to prepare something.'' I am hungry too.'' I hear her say as I hear her footsteps coming to the kitchen."I'm making grilled cheese. Do you want some? "''Yeeees,'' she says as she sits in the chair and lay on the counter. I can tell she is tired.'' Ok. I am going to make you breakfast and then you can lay down and rest.'''' Please hurry up.'' she says'' I am dying to get my beauty sleep. ''I laugh at her sentence as she raises her head and sees me with a serious face.''Ok ok, I'm sorry,'' I say as I try to keep my laughAs soon as we we
