Chapter 90 ~ Hospital Means Questions

Chapter 90••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••She jumps off the couch, the tea cup in her hands slipping through and crashing down onto the floor. The sound echoes through the room, but clearly it doesn't startle her because she runs towards me, carefully bypassing the broken pieces. “Oh my god! What happened?”I don't know how else to tell her what exactly happened in order to make it less painful to hear, so I hold my hands out in what I hope is a soothing gesture. “Elizabeth, don't worry. I'm fine. It's just a few scratches.”She shakes her head like she can't believe I just uttered those words. “It's…” She closes the space between us, whatever body mist she is putting on fills my nostrils, completely overwhelming me. Her eyes waters as she takes me in, her hand hovering over my chest, trying to ascertain which part hurts and which doesn't. “It's… It's not just a few scratches,” she murmurs, her voice shaky as she speaks. Her hands tracing the blood stains I have on my shirt. “You're

Author's Note

Hey Lovelies! I know I must have said "updates begins regularly" not once, not twice in the little notes underneath the chapters, and still didn't keep to that promise. I'm honestly sorry for that. Skipping updates is definitely not intentional on my path. This month has been quite unsteady with the updates—for that, I sincerely apologize. I have a lot going on right now, like literally—I'm fighting for my mental health. Like I said in the disclaimer, I am a law student, so things get really rough and scary at some point. And this is one of those times. I'm trying to scale through this month as much as possible, and I really hope you can see my efforts... although it's only a chapter update here and there. Additionally, my exams are approaching and it's a really crazy time for me. So why am I saying this? I don't want you to feel like I have abandoned this book. I wouldn't dare... I would never. If anything, I aim to finish a book before starting another, and that's how i

Chapter 91 ~ Fire

Chapter 91 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* A low noise I can't explain tears me from sleep. The sound more terrifying than anything else I have ever heard in my entire life. I stare into the dark and there it is again: a throaty sound full of dark despair. What is that? A wave of fear comes crashing down on me when I realize the tone is way too familiar. Rubbing my eyes, I sit upright, my eyes still searching through the dimly lit room. Luciano? Is that Luciano? I'm on my feet before the next grieving sound fills the room. I can't make out more than the outline of Luciano's body, all I know is that the bed is shaking from the force of whatever is happening to him. I switch on the lights, not sure if I should call the doctor yet or not. “Luciano?” I whisper, my voice so little and quiet I can barely hear it. He doesn't answer me. Instead, I notice his eyes are firmly closed, and his hands are clenched into fists. My first instinct is that it might be a seizure, perhaps somet

Chapter 92 ~ Let's Run Away... They are Monsters

Chapter 92|The Past- Luciano (Age 16)|It is the silence that hits me as soon as I open the front door of the house that immediately lets me know something is wrong. The house is never this quiet. It's either Papà is barking out orders on a phone call—of which, the calls don't stop coming in or Mamma is reciting her latest poem while trying to add even more spice to whatever she's making. Kiara has discovered she likes to talk a lot about everything she learned in school, everything including boys in motorcycle clubs, boys that I would rather slice my ears off than hear about one more time. She's only ten by the way.Each step I take makes my heart pound loudly in my ears. Something is wrong… something is definitely wrong. Hushed voices drift from the kitchen, my mother's whispered words freezing me in place.“You've done it again!” She cries out, the loud keening sound from her filling the entire room. “You don't think about us at all. You only care about yourself.”I press mysel
