INICIAR SESIÓNUnspoken Truths - Chapter 15Gino“I said, I want you to repeat every single word you just said to Alexandra. Now!” I roared.“G-G-Grandpa, that was a lie!” she sobbed. “I only said it to scare Alexandra. Please, Grandpa, listen to me. Dad always taught me to instill fear in your opponents, that’s all I was trying to do!”This was it, the absolute last straw. I wasn’t accepting another betrayal from Sophia. She was working with the Bratva.“How could you, Sophia? The Bratva killed your grandmother, and you’re working with them?” I shook my head, my voice trembling with disbelief. “I can’t accept this. I won’t let it go.”“Alex, get the guards, and my phone. This ends now.” I watched Alexandra leave, then turned back to Sophia. “Get ready. You’re going back to Yonkers, and I’m letting Luca handle this betrayal however he sees fit.” I tried to keep my voice steady, but the fury bubbled just beneath the surface.Sophia started crying and dropped to her knees. She kept begging me to tr
Unspoken Truths - Chapter 14DamianI left the hospital by early afternoon, even though every fiber of my being screamed at me not to. Something about the nurse today set off alarm bells in my head, but duty calls. I had stood in the hospital doorway for too long, hand on the frame like it could tether me to her. My mind was already at the safe house; but my heart stayed in that room.By the time I get to my apartment, Gabby had already texted me with an update. I glance down and smile. She was just as overprotective as I was. Knowing Sareena was in good hands made it easier to leave… even though all I wanted was to turn around and go back to her.As I step out of the elevator, I see Matt already inside, setting up the laptop feed on the TV.“Hey, find anything yet?” I ask, hoping he’s already done and just cleaning up.“Just got here. You got here just in time to start,” he replies, then smirks. “More importantly, how’s our little genius? She up watching more porn, yet?” He chuckl
Unspoken Truths - Chapter 13SareenaDamian and Nono are both here. They’re both here and they’re working together. My heart is full. I need to fight. I have to fight to get back to them. They both need me. But more than that… I need them.There’s commotion around me. Muffled sounds. Footsteps. Movement. A nurse? Always another nurse.My years of schooling are paying off. Even in this haze, I understand everything they’re describing to Damian. I hear medical terms, medications, procedures. Words most wouldn’t catch, but I do.Damian is making sure I have the best care. Of course he is.I feel someone lift me up; gently. Is it bedtime already? Is Damian here to hold me again; to pull me into his arms the way he always did so he could finally get some sleep? No. They’re placing something on me. Over my head. Covering my ears. A headset. Jazz. It’s jazz music. My favorite. He knows I love jazz. He remembered.The smooth rhythm seeps through me. I let go. For the first time in wh
Unspoken Truths - Chapter 12DamianIt’s about 7 a.m. when I wake up; two and a half hours after I crawled into Sareena’s hospital bed and pulled her into my arms.Last night Mario drilled it into me: the Familia comes first. This morning, with Sareena’s head on my chest, I know he’s wrong. I’d burn the Familia to ash before I let her slip away from me again. Eventually, I force myself to move. I need to get home and go through the security footage from the Morelli house with Matthew so we can figure out exactly what we’re dealing with.I gently shift Sareena off my shoulder and onto her back, doing my best to keep her comfortable. Then I quietly slip out of bed and head to the tiny washroom to freshen up. I’m so caught up in everything racing through my head, I don’t even notice the young nurse entering the room, until I step out and see her reaching for Sareena’s IV.“The nurse before you already gave her the meds,” I say casually. “Next dose isn’t until 1 p.m. I think the doctor
Unspoken Truths - Chapter 11MatthewAfter finishing the perimeter check, I secured both surviving guards and dragged them into my car; without being seen. I was sure one of the Russian idiots would’ve heard or spotted us, but I guess whatever they were moving into the house was more important. I need the answers, but for that, I have to get back to Damian’s and check the surveillance footage. But first, these two need the Doc. He’s been called and is already enroute to the Familia Hospital.The two kids in my back seat are in pain, trying their hardest to talk, but every time they open their mouths, it’s like pain shoots through them. “Hang on, guys. Pain relief’s only fifteen minutes away,” I shoot back over my shoulder.The one next to Nico lets out a loud yelp, scaring the shit out of me. My car skids into oncoming traffic, but I correct it before anything happens. “What the fuck? You trying to kill me too?” I yell back, heart pounding.I don’t know who this kid is, but he ca
Unspoken Truths - Chapter 10MatthewDamian hands me the keys to the Morelli house. “Grab your stuff; we’re moving in,” he laughs. “You’ll always have a place with me, Matt. Not to use as the Romancer, but as an escape, when you want some family time. We’ll even put in a private entrance for you. But no revolving door of whores.”Gino fucking Morelli gave us the keys to the Morelli house. The house his son lived in with his wife and kids. Wow!!!Damian only had two requests for me: dispose of everything tied to Riccardo and Sophia and leave Sareena’s room untouched. His plans for the place are simple, bring in our interior designer to redo the entire house and make sure I have my own separate space.I can’t help but wonder: is my ‘private space’ more for me or for him? I think it is more for me to have my own space when they want alone time. I’m seriously happy for him. He was already thinking like a husband, not just a soldier. It’s about damn time. I have no doubt; he and Sareena
