"When trust is broken, sorry means nothing"~ UnknownI kneed my fingers together nervously, my feet tapping on the floor, I glance at Salvatore who has his back turned to me, he's making himself a drink in the corner bar in his office.It's just me and him here, alone.After witnessing the brutal torture Salvatore brought me here in his office, he made me sit down on the sofa while he strided away towards the bar.I know I have to speak now, I am doomed, Salvatore's silence is killing me.He finally turns around with two glasses of whiskey in hand, he walks towards me and sits beside me, I don't fail to notice the distance he has maintained between us which breaks my heart.I'm craving his proximity, his hostile behavior is driving me nuts.He silently puts down one glass on the table sliding it towards my direction, I stare at the golden liquid, I pick it up and gulp down the content in one go.My throat burns welling up my eyes, I cough loudly, I slam the glass back on the table.S

"Here lies the raw, unpolished and mostly disjointed pieces of my soul"~ The princess saves herself in this one"I think we should make a proper burial site for her" I say keeping my eyes fixated on Sophia's grave, the fake patches of grass have been removed, the place has been cleaned around.Salvatore is standing by my side, silently staring at his mother's grave, this is rhe first time he has stepped here."Are you ok?" I ask gazing at him worriedly, he glance at me "is it weird that I feel no sort of attachment to her?" He asks in a worried voice, my heart shatters at his concern but more though I can't imagine how much pain Sophia's soul must have been in all these years knowing her son wasn't aware of her existence."It's quite normal, you didn't know of her, but now you do, I suggest you try to get to know about her, she's your mother, try to build a little relationship with her" I suggest rubbing his arm lovingly."Madam Joy has a picture of her, I can ask her to give it to u

"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance"~ Albert Einstein "DAISY!" a hear a screaming voice penetrate through my buzzing head, a firm hand grabs my arm, my body comes out of the shock, I turn around to see a panicked Lucia holding onto me."Come!" She screams on top of all the chaos, only one guard is left with us, he grabs Lucia's hand as she does mine, he starts bolting towards the nearest exit, my heart drops as I realize we're on the third floor of the mall."Prenderemo le scale, state bassi" (We'll take the stairs, stay low) the guard yells descending down the stairs.Gun shots ring all around us, I duck down just in time as a bullet pierces the wall above me, the concrete wall explodes making dust fly around.I cough out loud but don't stop, "Ho bisogno di rinforzi! Siamo sotto attacco!" (I need back up! We're under attack!) The guard screams in his bluetooth.He finally stops at the last stair and gestures us to wait, I can hear my harsh breathing thumping

"The truth is, some people will never know you, and utterly hate you for who they think you are"~ Samantha King HolmesI yelp as the panicked boss pulls me towards him with his gun pointed to my temple, I look up at Salvatore in fear."Non imparano mai" (They never learn) he says shaking his head in fake disappointment, "Sto arrivando" (I'm coming) he throws his rifle away putting his hand up in a surrendering motion, he steps back, I glance towards the stairs then back at the second floor.I'm left stunned when I see him jumping from the second floor, I move towards him but the boss stops me, I watch in horror as Salvatore lands on his feet looking perfect.Did he actually do that? I'm too stunned, my eyes frantically scan his body, he shurgs his shoulder and looks at me "Sto bene tesoro" (I'm fine baby) he winks at me, my body relaxes.He makes his way towards us, he's wearing the a black uniform similar to the men on the second floor."Fermare! Un altro passo e te ne pentirai!" (S

"They call us dreamers but they are the we're the one's who don't sleep"~ Unknown I clutch tightly on Salvatore's arm as he leads us to the dining area, I'm regretting each step we are taking towards our destination.It was my idea to eat breakfast with his family, Salvatore wasn't too fond of it but I persisted. Now, I'm the one who wants to head back into the safety of my room.A guard opens the door for us, the clinking of utensils stop, everyone on the table gazes at us, I bow down my head instantly.Of you keep on being submissive then they will never accept you as one of their own, my subconscious pokes me.I raise my head making eye contact with each member, I see the surprised look on Madam Guilia's face, my smile brightens as I find Lucia seated beside Capo Giovanni.She greets me by nodding her head, there is a bandage on her temple, apart from the traces of shadow under her eyes she seems better.Salvatore puts his hand on my spine guiding me towards the table "good morni
