The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. -Albert Einstein. |L O R E N Z O|She looked gorgeous, dancing without a care in the world. I know she is aware of my eyes on her yet she is dancing like she doesn't care. Like, it doesn't scare her, not anymore. And, I finally let the smile I was holding back from so long curve on my lips while watching her dance with joy. I know she was drunk and maybe it was playing a partial part in making her feel fearless but nonetheless she looked fearless and now I have finally witnessed how fascinating a fearless Iris looks, I know I am not going to stop until I get what I want. "She looks drunk." Rowan stated by my side as he sipped on his drink. "Fearless. She looks fearless." I corrected him with a victorious smile on my face as I watched her, mesmerized. "Is it what you wanted?" I heard Mason ask fr

You can't hold onto one thing forever and not grow tired. The tighter you hold the more you would want to let go. Because it starts hurting. It gets tiring. Just like that, you don't stop being scared. You grow tired of being scared. -Lorenzo Ace Russo. |L O R E N Z O|I was wrong. We don't have two wasted people to handle, we actually have three of them. Aleeza.Rowan. And, Iris. All three of them dancing at the bar counter and refusing to step down on the floor. Mason isn't even bothered the least as he continues to stand by the counter watching me and Lucas struggle with three drunk morons. Lucas isn't exactly struggling if anything he is entertained and amused. He is enjoying himself as he watched Iris dance. "Zee, I am flying." Rowan commented with exaggerated expressions with his arms open in the air. Dumbhead. "I want to fly too." Aleeza pouted, crossing her arms against her chest eyeing Rowan with envious expressions. "Aleeza, get down

You are killing me. But you have a right to. Never have seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you. Come on and kill me. - Ernest Hemingway.|I R I S|The sunrays coming from the large glass window of the room fell on my face forcing me to open my eyes and wake up from the peace of sleeping. Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands I rubbed the sleep away sitting on the bed. My head pounded with ache and I groaned. Holding my head in between my palms, I tried to get rid of immense pain, hurting me. It feels like someone is there inside my head poking nails in my skull. "Frick!" I cursed laying back down on the bed in pain. I tried to remember the cause of this headache and my mind travelled back to the memories of last night. We went to club and then I drank and danced and drank some more. Well, it is the side effects of drinking some more. I concluded in my head, closing my eyes trying to go back to sleep instea

If you had asked me to describe her beauty, I'd say, God had poured the sky into her soul. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|Aleeza is leaving. She came to spend one week and is now leaving after two weeks. Though, I wanted her to stay a little more. It's always fun with having her around. She never fails to put us in a good mood. It is always refreshing to have her. Specially for Rowan, they both share the same amount of craziness and are both equally dramatic if only Aleeza isn't more. "Boss," I heard Mason shout in a frustrated time from the other side of the door. "Rowan is being a bitch." Mason added. By being a bitch, I know, he meant that Rowan is being dramatic because Aleeza is leaving. I sighed, putting on a random t-shirt I made my way downstairs. "He is constantly crying like a pathetic human being." Mason scrunched his nose in disgust and I held back the laughter that threatened to escape out of me on his words and expressions. "Row

If people sat outside, and looked at the stars each night. I'll bet they had live life a lot differently. |I R I S|Today, when I found out that Aleeza was leaving I realised there is nothing holding me back anymore. There is no reason to stay here now when I know I am no threat to these people. And, I am pretty sure, they are convinced too. After hugging everyone one by one, I approached him sanding with blank expression on his face as I announced the news of me leaving. I would be lying if I said that I didn't felt disappointed when he didn't said anything or hugged me like others to say bye. So, I closed the space between us and assured him that I am no threat. I don't even think I had to tell him that. I am pretty sure he knew I wouldn't betray him. Not anymore. "Let's go?" I asked walking away from his gray eyes which stayed fix on my nack as I walked away, increasing the space between us with each step. He didn't said anything. Not even when I went to him, myself. He did

There are some feelings you will never find words for. You will learn to name them after the ones who gave them to you. -Unknown. |L O R E N Z O|I stormed inside my room shutting the door behind me with a loud thud as I felt my pulse throbbing inside my head, creating a headache. I didn't mean to fight with Aleeza but she pushed it. I was trying to make her stay. She should have tried to understand. Even Lucas and Rowan sided with her, speaking up in Iris' support. For fuck's sake, they are supposed to work for me. The door of my room snapped open and just by the scent that escalated in the room, I knew who it was. It was her. The woman with violet eyes who is fucking with my mind. After the stunt I pulled downstairs I knew I had to face her. I knew I would have to answer her questions, no matter what. But not right now. I was pissed and I needed to get my head in right place first. "Leave, Iris." I demanded, giving her my back to sta

You look like you have eaten the sun, like you drank so much sunlight you are drowning in it. -Yves Olade. |L O R E N Z O|I was working on my laptop, doing all the virtual signatures for the legal companies contract when my phone rang on the table. I looked at the phone screen from the laptop and saw the caller id. Nicolas. As the name appeared on the caller screen, I knew Aleeza has reached at his house and successfully complained about me like she does. Sliding the laptop to side and keeping my work on hold, I picked his call."What did you do to her?" Was how I got greeted by my older brother. "Hello brother." I greeted him as my eyes rolled at his words, "I am great. Thanks for asking." I said, my voice laced with sarcasm. "Fuck it, Enzo." He cursed, "Aleeza is being another Elena right now." He added. I controlled myself from laughing because if he would know nobody would know where did I disappeared. "I am pretty sure, she isn't

If I were the moon, I would like you to be the night. - Alexandra Vasiliu. |I R I S|The week passed in the blink of an eye for the men while I can tell about the each passing second because I was so bored. From what I have heard, there is something going on that needs their immediate attention, right now. It's the weekend and I am getting ready to go out with the guys. We are going to his brother's. Apparently, he invited the whole team and surprisingly maybe I am the useless partner in their team. Because all I do whole day is sleep, eat, watch tv, eat, sleep and repeat. There is nothing much to do with my skills of reading books, anyways. I wore a simple yet pretty summer dress of lavender colour and braided my hairs in a loose fishtail, leaving a few locks in front free. I did light make up on my face and worse white sneakers in my feet before I stood up in front of the large mirror. I took a proper glance at my reflection in the mirror an

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live. -Unknown. |I R I S|We reached at his brother's place and I still can't wrap my mind around the beauty and luxury of this penthouse. Everything from small lights to decor pieces screams, money and power. I let my eyes take in the interior of the penthouse following after Lorenzo. We finally stopped when three men and four women appeared in the hall. Out of all those, I only know, Aleeza. But other three of them looked, powerful. As if this penthouse is more owned by women than men. "Hello, brother." Lorenzo greeted the man with gray eyes similar to his but hair of darker shade than his. Nicolas Mario Russo, head of the black market auction and one of the most rich business man. He is a handsome and married man. There were so many chaos before his wedding but nothing was clear since he keeps his life confidential. I saw as his gray eyes brightened when his lips tugged upward in a

You are in every line, I have ever read. - Charles Dickens. |L O R E N Z O|It feels good to be surrounded by the people you have grown up with. The Russo penthouse is filled with those people. Either it's Shawn from Nicolas' team or Mason from mine. All of us know each other from a long time. Nicolas, the man who hated the presence of kids someday is now calming his own with peace at his face. It never cease to amaze me how my brother who walked like he own the ground and reign over the world, now, kisses the ground his wife walks on. He is so much in love with her. Nicolas handed me his little girl, carefully. I looked down at little Faith to find out she was already staring up at me with her beautiful gray-green eyes. "Be gentle with her." Nicolas warned in a stern voice as if I was planning on playing wrestling with an almost 10 months old baby. I rolled my eyes at his over protectiveness for Elena before shifting my attention back to m
