Unspoken Truths - Chapter 43

Damian

I spent most of the flight trying to talk to Sophia, but no matter how I explained the dangers of her decision, she ignored me. I even offered to find another way to get Sareena out without leaving her behind, tried to make her see that she mattered too. But it was a one-sided conversation.

Eventually, she got tired of pretending not to hear me. She pulled out one earbud and raised a hand to silence me.

“Look, Damian,” she said, her voice low but steady. “You love Sareena, and I’m making up for all the bad shit I ever did to you; to all of you, by taking her place. I get that.”

Her gaze shifted to the window, where the Vegas Strip shimmered in the distance. “But I’m excited about a new life in Vegas. Matteo isn’t even part of the equation. In my head, I’m just excited to be away from all of you. Here, I can do whatever I want, without your judgment. That’s what matters to me.”

She turned back to me, eyes sharp. “So, what if Matteo finds out? He’ll

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 50SareenaThree months since we got back from Vegas, and the nightmares still come, but they don’t own me anymore. Not with Damian beside me, and not with my therapist’s voice reminding me that I survived. Reminding me I’m not defined by what was done to me.I work at a free clinic in the Village now. It’s not glamorous, and most days it leaves me drained, but sometimes, when the patient looks at me like I’m the only lifeline they have, I feel something stronger than exhaustion. I feel steady. Rooted.Most nights I stay at Damian’s apartment. It’s closer to work than Nono’s house. I know Nono hates it, and he scolds me like I’m sixteen again, muttering that Morelli girls sleep at home with their families, not in a boyfriend’s bed, but I don’t care. He always threatens to call Father Roscelli, bragging about how he and Alexandra were married within twenty-four hours. He shakes his head and says I am ruining his reputation with the Familia.I usually just kis

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 49SophiaI hear the bathroom door close, and the shower starting a minute later. The sharp, steady water hitting tile.I still didn’t move, just kept my eyes closed, body still, breath shallow. I didn’t want Matteo to know I’m awake. Not yet. Not like this. I still needed time to process everything his father just said to him. I heard everything, and it made me feel a little better about my decision.He said almost the same things to me, last night, when I accepted his offer. I came back with him willingly.“Get up, Sophia,” Miguel says from the side of the bed.I blink, turning my head just slightly. He’s standing at the edge, looking down at me; not with the cold calculation I’m used to from men in our world, but with something else. Something soft.“I promised you; I’ll keep you safe,” he says. “And I’ll make sure my son treats you well and earns your love.”My chest tightens. No one has ever been this nice to me. “He needs someone strong and resi

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 48GinoI never drive myself anymore. I haven’t touched a steering wheel in years. Age and caution taught me it’s safer to let a driver take me where I need to go. But tonight, I didn’t wake him. I couldn’t sit in the backseat like a king on a throne while my insides crumbled. I needed to move. Feel the wheel in my hands. Remind myself I still had control over something, even if it was just a car.The streets tonight, were quiet. Tension hung in the air, thick enough to choke on. I kept one hand wrapped around the steering wheel, the other gripping my phone, hoping it doesn’t ring again. The warehouse hospital loomed ahead, its broken lights flickering weakly. It looked more like a graveyard than a place of healing. Shadows stretched long across the pavement. A bad omen, if I ever saw one.I parked off to the side, killed the engine, and just stared at the entrance. For a long moment, I didn’t move, letting the silence settle over me, pressing against my

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 47SophiaIce-cold water hit me with a violent, brain-splitting shock, tearing me out of whatever hazy void I had fallen into. My back hit something hard. Water splashed, stinging my eyes and skin like a thousand needles. I gasped, coughing, flailing against the chill.“Welcome back, Ms. Morelli,” a deep voice said dryly, as a towel smacked me in the face.I blinked hard, trying to focus through the blur of cold and confusion. The man was already turning away, his voice clipped and cold. “Get dressed. We have somewhere to go.”What the hell?I scrambled out of the tub, heart pounding, limbs shaky. My head spun. The tiles under my feet, the air in the room, even the way the light hit the sink felt wrong. Wrapping the towel tightly around myself, I stumbled to the door.“Get dressed,” the man barked again. He stood near the window like a statue carved from steel. “All the clothes in the closet are yours. Hurry.”I didn’t ask questions. His tone didn’t allow it.

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 46DamianAlexxa’s Scotch Bar was all chrome and noise, just like everything else in this city, trying to be upscale. Lessia called this one of the best. She needs to get back to New York, where real scotch bars don’t blast EDM or serve whiskey with LED lights like some frat-boy science experiment.I wasn’t in the mood for the loud music, the girls who kept trying to flirt with us, or even the overpriced scotches. We were just here to blend in, and watch, to make sure our girls got home safely.Vincent sat to my right, back rigid, eyes tracking every face that passed our table, and Matt leaned back in his chair trying to flirt with the ladies at the table behind him. I gave him a confused look. The ladies weren’t of his usual preference.Noticing my facial expression, he leaned in and said, “If you put me in makeup that makes me look 10 years older, I am going to hit on the cougars.”We all laughed, even though we know we shouldn’t draw attention to ourselv

    Unspoken Truths - Chapter 45SophiaI still don’t understand what’s happening to me. First, I was mad at everyone. Now, I hate myself for not realizing I pushed them all away. I always hated Sareena. I wanted nothing more than to destroy her. And now… now my heart feels like it’s breaking, shattering into pieces. How could that fucker do this to her? I don’t want anything to happen to her; just want her back. That realization snaps something in me.I get up and excuse myself from the room. No one notices. Everyone’s still processing what they just heard. I go to the bathroom, shut the door, turn on the faucet, and let the water run. That’s when I let my tears fall.I’ve spent so much of my life trying to ruin Sareena. Never once did I take responsibility for what I did. But now… I see it. She tried to rescue me, even when she left. She outed Riccardo, told everyone who would listen what he was doing to us. But his poison was already in me. I lied for him and kept his secrets.
