Alora, Liana, Castillo and Gianni all left the mansion in Italy to go to the very exclusive event, they had no idea how exclusive it was. It was full of rich people they thought it was an ordinary concert, how wrong could they have been? It was held held in the colosseum in Rome. They’d never seen so much beauty, they’d planned on coming here next summer. Why has Raven invited them? They weren’t rich and they certainly were nothing like the people here. They were high class and they looked a little scared by Gianni and she wasn’t sure why though everyone else knew.
The band came on stage near eleven and finished around two. The four of them made their way backstage showing their passes. The security opened the door to let them enter. They stepped in, the whole band was in the large room drinking and smoking what smelt like weed. Raven looked up . “Gianni.” He smiled pulling himself up.
“Raven.” The shock hands pulling into one another. “Good to see you bro. I didn’t think you’d make it. I thought that you were still in the U.K.?”
“It was a quick visit. I would never miss a performance you should know that by now.” He said as they stepped away from one another. He looked the the two girls and smiled. “Alora.’” He said hugging her kissing her cheek. “Glad you could make it.” His eyes shifted. “Liana. Glad you could make it too.” He said kissing cheek, hugging her. He steeped back. “I didn’t think you do be able to make it at such short notice.”
“Just say they’re taking a little road trip.” Gianni laughed.
Raven laughed. “Castillo man what you doing here haven’t you got a club to run?” He said laughing and they shuck hands and pulled into one another.
“Just say Gianni invited me along for the road trip. I could hardly say no.”
They pulled away from each other. “Please sit your making the place look untidy.” He laughed.
They all sat down. The drinks went down and another spiff rolled. “So is the wedding still on for next Saturday?”
“It is?”
“So, who’s the lucky girl?”
“You’ll just have to wait and see.”
“This guy is just full of surprises. He calls me two weeks ago, two fucking weeks ago and asks me and the bad to play at his reception. Luckily he’s one of my best friend or I’d tell him to fuck right off, we’re taking a break after this tour. But no I’m too nice to him and say hell yes can’t wait to see the bride seen as I had no idea he was in a relationship.”
The two friends sat there saying nothing.
“I thought he was lying when he came into the club and had his tongue down your neck. I gathered he was letting some steam off before the big day.”
“And you’d be right. Castillo invited me to the club for my stag. I was drunk and seduced her.”
“Is that why they are both here? You dirty dog you could never keep it in.”
“Hey you’re no different. I saw the way you were with her in the club.”
He laughed. “She’s a hot chick what can I say.”
“And you fuck em and fuck em off.”
“So did you at one time bro.” He laughed.
The girls unsure of where to put their faces right now.
“He’s joking.”
“Course I am. And why the hell would you take two innocent girls on a road trip? If it wasn’t that you were after.”
“I’m not, me and Alora go back along way we’re catching up.”
“Does she know about the wedding?”
“She does.”
“God your brave or very fucking stupid to tell your shag she’s pleasuring you until you get married.”
“Can we please not talk about this?”
“Sure.” Raven looked at the two girls who looked very uncomfortable with all of them. “Ignore us we’re always like this. We don’t mean any harm, we’re just messing you’ll get used to us.” He winked.
They passed more drinks around, more spliff perfumed the air eyes dilated. “So you said you were at uni?”
“We are.”
“Which one?”
“Oxford.”
“Wow. I went to Harvard before we came here, we formed the band there and got contracted to a music multi billionaire over here.”
They smiled.
“You haven’t got to be shy around us let your hair down like you did at the club.”
They smiled.
“So when do you leave uni?”
“This summer.”
“Any plans after you leave?”
“I’m hopefully taking over my Dad’s business.” Alora answered.
“I’m going into business too, dad always said to make it big is to own your own business.”
“True.”
They all chatted drinking, laughing and getting stoned. It was almost four am when they said their goodbyes.
“I’ll see you next Saturday.”
“You will.”
“Take care.” He said to Alora and Liana. Kissing there cheeks. “Enjoy your road trip, hope to see you soon.”
They all walked out of the band’s private room getting into the car heading home.
He pushed her up the door. Kissing her. She tried to resist. He slipped his tongues kissing her harder. He kissed down her neck she stood frigid. “What’s wrong baby?”
“Nothing.”
“Yes there is, it’s what Raven said isn’t it?”
“Would you cheat on me?”
“No. I wouldn’t.”
“But he said.”
“I admit my lifestyle wasn’t the best all the years we were apart, but it’s not me now I have you back and I won’t ruin that. I promise.”
“But..”
“I promise you can cut my dick off if I stray I promise.” He said placing his lips back on hers kissing her hungrily with tongues he wrapped her legs around his waist pushing inside her having sex with her.
THE WEDDING They’d been in Italy a week now, one more and they’d be returning for the final three months of uni. When she arrived back she’d be married and have his name. Mrs. Robustelli. She still couldn’t believe she was going through this neither could Laina. She told her she could back out at any time but she’d chose not to. Her wedding dress was white with diamonds drawing the full length of the dress. Her white sandals held a five inch heel. She hoped she could walk straight to the wedding and reception, which was to be held in the garden so the Swimming pool had been covered, so that there were no drunken accidents. Liana wore a red sequin dress as she was told she was the bridesmaid. Their hairs were braided differently so they could tell them apart she was shutting bricks. Castillo had agreed to give her away as her father was not ha
Alora had returned to university three months ago she was set to return to Italy after her last essay and exam was finished. She walked alone and she was meeting Liana soon. She walked across campus as she heard gun shots, students ran screaming, saying there were men shooting randomly at the campus shouting out some girls name and if she didn’t go to them they’d kill everyone on campus. She swallowed nothing like this usually happens. It’s usually so quiet, but not today she wondered who they were after as she got to the edge of the campus. The shots got louder, many of the students were bleeding, some were dead. Her heart raced, the car skidded and the door opened. “Get in.” She didn’t hessite she slid into the car closing the door. The tyres screeched as the car sped away causing her to fall on something hard. She looked up and he smiled. “Raven.” “Don’t worry you’re pretty head is safe.
The male hung from the wall by chains and handcuffs his face bloody, he’s face and body dirty. Gianni and his brothers stood in the cold damp room looking at him. Gianni stepped forward looking at the man. ‘Who sent you?’ He looked up and laughed. The knuckle duster shots across his face blood emerged from his mouth, he spat it out. "I’ll never tell you never!" It crashed across his face again. "I’ll ask you again. Who the fuck sent you?" "I’ll die before I tell you anything." "So be it ." Gianni exchanges his knuckle duster for a bladed glove. It sliced across the mans face and body repeatedly. "Are you ready to talk?" The man looked dead at him. He positing his hand above his head and went to swoop down. "Bianchi." He lowered his arm. "Now that wasn’t hard was it.’ He looked at his brothers. "Torture them and send them back to him let him know I mean business.’ He said walking out.
Alora went to step out of the room, after hearing giggles come from the room opposite. Gianni hadn’t returned to their bed last night. Now she knew why as she watched both of them, a sinking feeling rose in the pit of her stomach. He was kissing another girl in the home that they shared. Tears fell off her face and she was vexed. "You okay Alora?""Peachy." She said closing the door.Raven looked at her as if to say that’s shit and you know it.He watched as she twisted her ring. Something was wrong. The front door closed and she was gone without saying a word.Gianni closed the door, he looked at her and her face was angered. "Alora I can explain."
Regio played the security footage where were all the security? he’d shoot them for this. They watched as she ran across the garden and leaped over the gate like it was nothing, he must say he was impressed. "Check the footage outside the house."Regio pulled up the footage outside the house she’d ran after she’d made it over the gate and disappeared. "Where the hell is she? she can’t just disappear just like that." He said clicking his fingers."We’ve got men out searching for her.""I want her brought back in one piece. Her father arrives in two days."Alora sat on the chair, where the hell was she?He bent down in front of her. "You sure get in some shit Alora.’She looked into his eyes. "Lorenzo.’He smiled."What the hell are you doing here?""Apart from saving your ass.""Yes.""Have they told you
THREE YEARS LATER Alora adjusted her eyes in the dim light she’d gone out with her friends from her office. Her and Lorenzo had finally settled down after moving place to place for the last three years thinking the dust had settled and she’d been forgotten about. His eyes glowed darkly in hers. "Do you really think we would’ve forgotten about you Alora?" She sat nervously where the hell was she and who the he’ll was taking to her. "Your brother is in so much trouble Alora." "Leave him out of this. He was only trying to help me." "Lucky it’s us that found you. And not Bianchi." "Raven?" He smiled evilly. "Gianni was pissed when you filed for divorce." "I don’t give a flying fuck. He lied to me, he promised me he would never cheat on me and he did." "He was angry at you Alora." "It was no excuse to shag a whore behind my back?" "You let Luca screw you, tit for tat Alora."
"How is she?” "Fine considering." "Considering what?" "I drugged her to get her here." "And her brother?" "Fine. We had a little chat, he was very cooperative." "Good we could do with someone like him on our side." "I don’t think he’s in anyone’s side Gianni. He just wants to keep Alora safe." "So do I." "After the stunt you pulled you need to do more than keep her safe . You need to make sure she understands what we are doing and why." "I will." "You should’ve told her the truth from the beginning, then none of this would’ve been necessary." "I know. I thought I’d got more time." "Well you didn’t." "Haven’t you got a tour coming up?" "It’s been cancelled till fall, so I’m at your disposal." "Good. We need to be together in this at all times." "I inserted the tracker while she slept as you asked." He nodded. "I’d like to see her." "S
THE BIG DAYSix months had past Gianni had put a good show on both of them declaring their love for her and the one left standing they would take her as their own. The argument was heated til other took their guns out and said. "Any last words?"Silence wreaked around them. The guns were pulled out and they had a shooting frenzy Gianni stumbled and Raven shot him again he fell to the ground, blooded dead.The church yard was full Alora she’d fake tears liana next to her with her brother holding her tight.That was six months ago and the weeding preparations were go. She wasn’t really sure about this, but she knew that she had to go through it. She had promised Gianni she would to make it all real, she just hoped no one would turn yo and start a shoot out.Luckily for them no one did. They’d said their vows though it felt like a lie to her all of this was for show again. Her Stomach turned in knots, she felt let
