'She's dead'I squeeze my eyes close and took a deep breath clasping my cold trembling hands while trying to calm my mind. Helena's words are keep on ringing in my ears together with her crying face that flashing inside my head. I open my eyes and somehow, I was able to calm down. I cross my arms over my chest and look at the wide greenfield in front of me while standing in the open space veranda on the second floor. I don't know what's happening to me. I just couldn't help the guilt that creeping me out. I am not a paranoid type of person but here I am, overthinking again. I am sure that no one is aware that I am a Costello, no one is suspicious to me about Laurent's death but still, I am worried. Why am I guilty when I am not the one who killed Laurent? Maybe because I attempt to kill her with my hands without knowing that she is important to Pierro because they are cousins. I breath in once again and gaze down on my hands specifically on the ring I am wearing. Why am I having a f

"Wait for me, I'll return home soon..."I went in silent. He couldn't give me an exact answer which surprisingly bother me. I don't know why, maybe because he was able to to dodge my questions smoothly and I am drown with his voice that speaks softly. I tap my foot on the floor. The other line was filled with silence as if we're listening to each other's breath and that's enough to close the distance between us. I don't know where he is right now that I need to wait until he fix those whatever problem in their organization. Can't he fix it all here? What's the use of the west wing? He said that place was forbidden, what makes it forbidden then?"I hope you'll return before this week end" I break the silence."Why?" His voice turn husky as if he's close to sleeping, but then I heard his heavy footsteps on the other line followed by the screech sound of something which I assume a chair. "I'm not comfortable that you're not around" I replied.Although it really favors me when he's bus

"What brought you here?" Surprise is evident in Mrs. Castania's voice that you would mistakenly thought she doesn't like seeing her only daughter who pay her a visit. But is she even aware with her instinctive response? The uncomfortable feeling she has for me despite trying to act like a loving mother. I force a smile, a sweet one although I'm getting sick and my lips hurt for stretching too much. I walk closer and intentionally gave her a kiss on the cheek that caught him off guard. My eyes become void with emotion while staring Mr. Castania standing behind."Everyone is watching, they might conclude that you don't want to see me" I whisper.I felt her stiffen as if I just poke her fear. I return the smile on my face as I step back."I'll be staying here for a while until my husband finish his so called business" I explain. Nicolai and Pierro is behind me. I just hope they don't find suspicious that my very own mother doesn't seem pleased seeing me when supposedly she is happy be

"Who are you?"My eyes widened and my pulse quicken hearing the calm yet authoritative tone of Sain Czar behind me. I gritted my teeth when I felt the sudden tension between us although I am not looking at him. I tighten my grip on the umbrella I am holding while roaming my eyes around checking the surrounding without moving on my spot.What is he doing here? I thought he's busy fixing the problem about Averrius? Why is he here in this place? Don't tell me he personally investigate the disappearance of Celeste Astraea Cortezi? But why this day? Is he aware what does this day means? "I'm asking you woman, who are you? What are you doing here?" He hissed in a low dangerous tone, hinting warning.My eyes sharpen as I look straight in front of me attentively listening to his next move. I didn't speak because he might recognize my voice. Once I turn around and see my face, although I'm wearing my shade he could still recognize me. Is he with someone? "Who are you?" He growl like a mad m

Third Person's Point of ViewIt was currently an hour before midnight when Sain Czar came back to Ilde Famiglia main headquarter. This was the so called hideout that other organizations trying to infiltrate but they didn't know the exact location. As he enter the main hall, everyone who was there greeted him with respect but no one dare to approach him despite seeing the flowing fresh blood coming from the wound on the corner of his forehead.He strode in the main hall with heavy footsteps dress the same two piece suit that wears during the memorial ceremony of his father's friend. His black mullet hair is messy as if he just got into trouble. The menacing and dangerous aura clings into him as he walk with arrogance. He look so dangerous, really dangerous that's why everyone didn't dare to meet his gaze nor follow his every move. He went upstairs and barge in on his private room but before he could settle on his favorite chair the door open again revealing Helena and his two brothers
