Marcella wipes the dirt beside Mariella's lips."Yes, mamma.""I'll just check on your sister." She puts the spoon and fork neatly on her empty plate before standing. "I expect that you're ready to go when I come back.""Yes, mamma."Marcella kisses the top of her head and leaves the small villa. "Is this school, mamma?" Mariella asks while looking at the colorful buildings."Yes, piccolina. Let's go." Marcella holds her daughter while entering the school premises.The teachers like Mariella very much.

CHAPTER 12

"Señor… an accident." One of the guards is in a hurry to report. "The Giordanos.""Call for a rescue immediately!"Ambulance arrives at the scene and gets Enrico's half conscious body. He's groaning in pain while searching for Mariella using his blurry sight."M-Mariella… my daughter." He mumbles while the surrounding spins in his perspective. Another stretcher is being taken to the van. It's Mariella… covered with blood and wounds."Señor… Señor… do you hear me?" The medical assistant asks while waving his hands but Enrico cannot respond anymore. Everything went black.+++"Fratello…" Lean checks on his older brother while the others are outside for some reason. "Does it hurt, fratello?""Fratellino…" He says in a tired voice. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in your bed sleeping.""Does it hurt?" Little Lean asks while staring at the bandage where blood is marking. Leo's bleeding."N-No…" He utters contrary to what he really feels. "Go back to your room.""I'm not s

CHAPTER 13

"... Do you hear me?"Leo is in complete silence waiting for Mariella to respond but she is still in deep sleep."Mariella," he holds her warm little hand. "Please… wake up." He lightly shakes her hand.'Who dared to do this to you? Hm?' He says in his mind."Mariella—"He hears footsteps outside the room and the clicking of doorknob. Leo immediately hides on the other side of the bed.Under the bed, he sees a foot wearing slippers and hospital pants. Also, an IV stand. Curiosity kills him so he takes a peek of the man standing at the other side."You haven't woken up yet?" He utters in a sad tone. "Too weak to survive this world."Leo widens his eyes when he witnesses what the man is going to do."This is for your sake, for the Mafia." "Señor!" Leo reveals himself and the man, in his surprise, accidentally drops the syringe in his hand."Who… what are you doing here?!" Anger is written in the man's face."Señor Enrico…" There is no fear in Leo's face while clenching his fists. "What

CHAPTER 14

“Fratello,” For the nth time, Lean talks to his older brother. “We’re going to be late.” “Just a moment, Fratellino.” He watches everyone outside the car, waiting for someone to arrive. “There she is! Wait here.” Leo goes outside and crosses the street. He is smiling from ear to ear while following small steps. “Mariella,” Leo calls but she doesn’t turn to face him. “Mariella!” He sighs when she still walks toward the school gate. “Mariella Giordano!” He says her full name but she seems to not hear him at all. “Mariella Bernardi!” Smile plasters on his face again when she finally stops and confusedly looks at him. Mariella just watches him slightly run towards her. “Hi,” He waves his hand but she doesn’t respond. Mariella looks around but the boy in front of him is really talking to her. Leo slightly leans to level their heads. “Good luck on your first day of school.” “Who are you?” Leo’s eyebrows furrow after hearing that question. “Didn’t you know me? I am—” He stops himse

CHAPTER 15

“Opss…” The bullies bump onto Mariella’s back and she almost falls on the ground. Thanks to her fast reflexes, she immediately stops it from happening. “You’re blocking our way.”They laugh and exit the campus. Mariella wants to fight back but she promised her mother not to make any trouble in school again. She almost gets kicked out from school when she takes her revenge on those bullies.“Fight back,” Rocco appears beside her and walks with her.“I wanted to,” She’s clenching her fist and imagining those bullies being beaten by her.“You wanted it? Then do it.”“I made a promise to mamma.”“Promises are meant to be broken.” Rocco smirks.“Tss… you’re such a bad influence.”“Yeah, yeah. I am. But you never do what I am telling you.”“Because I know what’s right and wrong. Good and bad.”“You’re maturing, huh?” He’s teasing her. She’s been childish in the past years but little by little, she learns how the world works. “Just wait and they will stop pestering you.”Mariella squints her

CHAPTER 16

The wind is blowing strong, and the thunder's getting louder and louder. It interrupts Mariella's sleep. She's thirsty and wants to drink water. She goes outside her bedroom and turns on the light to get some water, and ease her thirst."Mamma?" She's surprised to see her mother, entering the house, wearing an all black outfit, and soaking wet because of rain. Marcella throws the large and heavy bag somewhere that makes metal sound.Mariella looks at the wet bag but she ignores it when Marcella walks on the carpeted floor and falls as if her knees weaken. She seems to space out and doesn't notice Mariella's presence."Mamma! What happened? Are you okay?" Mariella becomes worried. She kneels in front of Marcella who is not looking at her. "Mamma… you're burning hot." Mariella gets a bath towel and puts it around her mother's shoulder."I didn't know… I'm sorry." Marcella mumbles while sitting on the carpet and hugging her knees. She's shaking because of the cold. "Mamma, please… talk

CHAPTER 17

"Your birthday's around the corner. What do you want?" Marcella asks while having breakfast with Mariella. She's turning twelve and she can't think of the gift."Just a simple celebration, mamma." She responds since Mirabella will celebrate too and it will probably be grand because she's the heir."Sure, whatever you want." Marcella smiles at her daughter before finishing her meal and leaves Mariella to take care of.Mariella always wonders if her mother doesn't get tired of taking care of the two of them."I'm gone for a week to do business stuff." Leo suddenly appears in front of her and speaks. She just got outside the campus after a long tiring day.Mariella just raises her eyebrow, looking at him who is waiting for her response, while her arms are crossed on her chest."You might think I ditch you—""I don't have to know your whereabouts.""You might miss me, you know?""As if." She slightly scoffs and starts walking but Leo follows her."Wanna have some Cannoli?""No thanks.""C

CHAPTER 18

“Run.” “Ah!” —“Ahhh!” “Señorita! Señorita!” Two of the servants immediately ran when they heard Mariella’s scream. “Mamma! Where’s mamma?” She’s out of control. “Let me go! I don’t need you! Where’s mamma?!” “Señorita, calm down! Señorita!” “I said, let me go!” Mariella snatches the bread knife on the tray beside her and sways it into the air. Out of fear, the servants step backward while shockingly looking at Mariella. They gulp and beads of cold sweat form on their foreheads. “Get out!” They almost stumble to rush outside the room. Mariella’s fuming mad and throws the knife and it jabs into the wooden frame of a large portrait inside that room. Her eyebrows furrow when she stares at the portrait in front of her. It confuses her, is it she or her twin sister Mirabella? Her eyes look around and the room is very unfamiliar. She sets her feet on the carpeted floor and begins to walk but she falls on the ground when she feels her knees weaken. Mariella’s sight doubles so she sh

CHAPTER 19

“Mamma…” Mariella touches Marcella’s gravestone. Tears keep running down her cheeks and she doesn’t bother to wipe it. She is left alone with her uncle in the cemetery since the rain starts pouring so hard as if the sky feels her sorrow, and wants to join Mariella’s grieving heart.“Let’s go,” Marcello said while holding a black umbrella to cover Mariella who was kneeling on the mud. He ignores the fact that he starts getting soaked. “Get up. You’ll get sick.” He pulls her and with lifeless eyes, Mariella just stares at the gravestone. She lets her uncle pull her away until they get inside the car.Silently, she watches the rain sliding through the car’s glass window. Due to the heavy rain, the surroundings got kind of foggy. Marcello doesn’t utter a word while driving. He knew his niece. She needs quiet time to think. She just lost her mother.“Let me live with you, uncle.” She said while still looking outside, silently hoping that her beloved uncle would agree to her wish.“Sorry, k
