To Trap A Kiss Thirteen: Daniela Berni
ThirteenDaniela Berni “There’s got to be a way out of here.” I watched Audrina wander around the house, looking for some kind of window or door that wasn’t blocked by a guard. I laughed. “Audrina, just drop it. You’re not going to find a way out. You know how men like them are. They’ve got the entire place covered with body guards.” Audrina took a deep breath. “I wasn’t even kidnapped. I just followed you here. How am I the one that’s more freaked out than you?” I sighed. “Because I know them. I knew the minute that I stepped foot into Boston, somehow, they would find a way to pull me back into this mess. My mother was in it. My father’s in it. You’re in it. I don’t think there’s a way to get out. I think something like this---it’s always going to touch our lives, like a shadow. You can’t shake this kind of darkness no matter how hard you try.” My best friend let out a shriek. “I’m the goddamn CEO of an upscale, fashion bra
To Trap A Kiss Fourteen: Niccolo Capaldi
FourteenNiccolo Capaldi The last time I had been to our summer home, it had been the summer before my senior year of high school. Dad took the whole family, including Daniela and her mother. We would spend the whole summer swimming, taking the yacht out, and having picnics. Here, I was a completely different person. There was something about Italy that made me relax a little more. And that summer, it had been particularly hot. Dad had been away on a lot of business trips leaving us alone to our own devices. Daniela usually spent most of the time helping out her mom with the house and the cooking. Somedays, though, Augusta would let her spend the day by the pool or she’d go off to the beach with Luca or go into town. One day, we all went out to the beach. There was a small path with a creaky staircase that had been built sometime in the 1920’s that went all of the way down to the shore. Daniela was wearing a white sundress, and she was tan from spending her days out in th
To Trap A Kiss Fifteen: Daniela Berni
FifteenDaniela Berni “Daniela, please come to dinner.” This came from Niccolo, who was standing outside my room with Luca, begging me and Audrina to come out. We decided we were staying there until Audrina’s “backup” came. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but she assured me it was not her dad. That at least was a relief. “No!” I shouted from my bed. I was being immature, I knew. But I was still upset over how he’d gotten me to Italy instead of just telling me what was going on.Audrina, who was sitting next to me cross-legged, laughed. “Maybe he’ll break down the door,” she whispered.I shot her a look, and hissed, “Don’t give him ideas.”“Audrina!” Luca shouted. “Come on. I told you she wouldn’t be hurt and she isn’t! Come on out, I’ve got your favorite wine!”“Not happening!” Audrina shouted.It was my turn to laugh. Audrina hadn’t admitted that there was something going on with her and Luca. But I remembered the two of them in high sc
To Trap A Kiss Niccolo Capaldi
SixteenNiccolo Capaldi “Dad! What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded. “You should be in the hospital. I thought you were half dead.” He had gathered us around the big, dining room table inside. It wasn’t warm enough to eat out doors like we normally did. Giuseppe Capaldi was tall, and frail, with wrinkles upon wrinkles and grey hair. He used a cane to get around. My Pop was the kind of man that used to having people scurry when they saw him. In many ways, he was an imposing figure still. But after his heart attack, I was painfully aware of how old he was. And I hated the idea that he had traveled so long to get to us when it could have hurt him. My Pop laughed. “I’m a Capaldi, son. Death doesn’t come for us. We go looking for it because we’ve sent them too many souls.” “Mr. Capaldi,” said Audrina, “I’m a little confused about why you want me to be part of this conversation?” He smiled at her. “Audrina, you have always
To Trap A Kiss Seventeen: Daniela Berni
SeventeenDaniela Berni This was why I had been hesitant to tell anyone anything. The Capaldi men were nothing, if not territorial over what they wanted. Now, I had all three of them glaring at me. Niccolo’s jaw twitched and I could tell it was taking everything in his power to freak out. The last time I had seen him this angry, it had been the summer before our senior year. The summer that we dated and it ended in disaster. Someone put a hit on me, and that was when Giuseppe started talking about me marrying into the family for safety. I never knew what came of it because Niccolo went back to ignoring me right after we got back to the states. He pretended like I didn’t exist again, even after everything we’d been through that summer. We’d been together for almost two months. He’d been the first person I slept with. Then, I was ignored and forgotten about. It got worse when my mom died and I had to move in with them. There w
To Trap A Kiss Eighteen: Niccolo Capaldi
EighteenNiccolo Capaldi She was staying. She wasn’t running. She had a chance to leave, to get the hell out, and she had decided to stay. I always thought that if Daniela knew the true nature of my world, she would run. That was one of the reasons I had ended it when we were younger. It also didn’t help that my father kept on trying to force her to marry me because he thought it was the only way that she could stay safe. I didn’t want Daniela to ever feel like I was forcing her into this world. And now, to hear her openly say she wanted to be here, with me, it was confirmation that we had a shot. Of course, we had to survive the Barretta family first. “What do you know about them?” Daniela asked as she followed me to my room. “Who?” I said. “The Barretta family.” I hesitated. “Are you sure you want to know? Sometimes, family history is best left in the dark.” “Of course, I want to know. Mama never ta
To Trap A Kiss Nineteen: Daniela Berni
NineteenDaniela Berni When I didn’t think I was going to be with Niccolo, I was planning for college. I had this outrageous idea that I would work part time, get scholarships, and maybe go into social work or something. There were so many kids that wound up in the mob because they didn’t have places to call home and it was easy money. I thought maybe if I could give back to my community, I could make it better. And since Niccolo ensured I had no social life whatsoever, I spent most of my time studying or helping my mom which I got a little money for. As close to an allowance as I could get. The closest I ever got to having my own freedom was when I worked at Revere’s on the weekends. When things were slow, I used to find a place and study. There was a guy that came by and he was from another private school. He was tall, with brown hair, and blue eyes. This happened my junior year. Before I spent summer with Niccolo, before we’d had sex together, and before my
To Trap A Kiss Twenty: Niccolo Capaldi
TwentyNiccolo CapaldiI dreamt about this.From the moment I had her for the first time when we were both teenagers, Daniela Berni was the only thing I wanted in this world that I could not have. Not fully. Daniela drove me to distraction. Now, there was a hit on her, and me, and the people we cared about. And we had just enough time to spare to rest and then try to get away. But we weren’t going to be doing any resting that night. Not in the traditional sense, anyway.I should have been more worried about the people coming for us. At that moment though, Daniela was on my bed, completely undressed, having started to take her clothes off in the hallway before we even got to my room. “You still on the pill?” I asked her. It wouldn’t have mattered if she wasn’t. At that point, there was nothing that could stop us. It had taken both of us years to get here, to realize there was no letting the other go. Now that she was all in, I’d make her mine whatever it took.Daniela nodded.
