I didn't sleep well last night. For some reason, Alice was in my mind, and all I wanted was her or to drink, and I couldn't. So, instead, I spent hours in the gym.Hours were spent doing just about everything in the gym to relax. I thought I had shown Alice I would try, but then she upped and left. I look at the clock, it's ten, surely she should be free by now?"Come on, let's go." I look at Dario, confused. "You need to train, you need a distraction, let's train." He walks through the gym. If only he knew I spent hours in there last night. I need her or drink, but I'm really trying not to drink so much.Walking through, I watch him put the gloves on."You gonna beat up your little brother?" I laugh and walk in, collecting the gloves."No, we're training. They won't be hard hits." I want to refuse. I can't hit him. I know enough about his condition, and one hit can be fatal. One hit can leave him in a comatose state."Look, I'm fine. Concentrate on your leg work, right?" Nodding, I g

I stay with her asleep in my arms. She's so fucking fierce and punches like a man. I still haven't found out how she knows how to fight. She told me she learnt to in school.It's bullshit, I remember her in school, she wasn't one for fighting. I hear my phone and grab it. Reading Marco's message I get dressed and walk down. This is the moment I find out the truth.I'm worried about her always leaving, concerned about the secrets she holds and why she is hiding everything about her life. People don't hide things. If less, it's bad. I needed to know more, so Marco, as always, has got people digging for information. Then, I can at least find out if she lives at home with her parents. If she is ashamed of her life, maybe?Walking into the office, I grab a glass and fill it. “Okay, let’s talk.” I smile at him. Whatever it is, we can sort and fix it. I have a feeling she's ashamed; maybe her family don't have money, and she doesn't want me to see that.“Where is Alice?” He looks at me.“Her

When I got back to the house last night, Lorenzo was waiting. He could tell something was wrong but didn't ask. I was a mess, though. Then he told me he was leaving at some point. Flying to Sicily for a meeting, then coming straight back. I knew what that meant. It meant they were meeting Caiu, the main guy of the Cosa Nostra. Someone who everyone just recently found out is Lucia's grandad. I was asleep when Lucia's message woke me the night of her wedding, and I found her locked in her walk-in wardrobe.I was ready to find Lorenzo in the gym, but I was told he had also left. When he said they were leaving at some point, I thought he didn't have a date set. He did, though. Apparently, everyone is convinced Marco is not going to survive this meeting.So, of course, to cheer Lucia up, we had a fucking party. It helped me as well because between freaking out that Lorenzo might not return and worried about how I was going to sneak Kane out this week, I was a wreck, so drinking masked it a

Sitting on the bed, Iz smiles at me. "Lorenzo will be fine. He’s just shocked. Congratulations, as I'm guessing no fucker has said that to you about getting pregnant or having a baby." She laughs and hugs me."He's right." God, he is right."Maybe part of what he said, but not everything." She looks at Kane and smiles. Her eyes come back to me with a knowing look."I know, alright. To start with, no, but the more he grows, the more I fucking see it." I hoped he wasn't Lorenzo's purely because I knew he would hate me for not speaking. I also have no choice. Kane is part of this world. Do I really want that? Moving, she hugs me, and I cry.His words only hurt so much because they were fucking true. I did pretend like Kane didn't exist. Every time I left that house, I pretended like he wasn't there to everyone.I hear the door and look up."I swear no shouting, I won't be a dick." Lorenzo looks at me, and Iz walks out. I watch as he moves and walks to sit on the bottom of the bed. "I'm s

When I wake, I get dressed in the few clothes that I had here from staying. I'm guessing Iz or someone moved them from Lorenzo's room into this one for me.Getting Kane sorted, I carry him downstairs."I thought he went to fucking bed." I hear Marco."Come on, Kiddo, wake the fuck up." I stop when I see Carlos slapping Lorenzo's face."Dr Hargreaves is on her way. Keep trying to get a response." Marco walks towards them, and I stare at Lorenzo passed out on the floor. Carlos glances at me."Get her out of here!" He points towards me, and I feel someone dragging me back."Is he okay?" I feel myself getting pushed through a door."He will be fine." I look at Dario. "Once he wakes, he will be fine." God, what did I do? This is my fault. I fight back the tears and stare at the door."I didn't mean to..." God, what have I done?"Look, just give him space when he wakes. I thought he would be fine. I didn't think you two were that serious yet. He's struggling to accept this, so give him spac
