Chapter 149 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* 2 Weeks Pregnant | Location: Chicago, Illinois | I have never held something so expensive before. Even touching the card makes me nervous. Regardless of my hiked up nerves, I approach the counter with hesitant steps, while looking over my shoulder to check if someone recognizes me. Although I'm well aware of the scarf covering my face, I still find myself cautious of everyone that walks past me. I don't want to be found by the convent or by… him. He hurt me more than anyone has. I'm sure by now he is happily married to Gemma and they must be anticipating their baby soon. My eyes grows heavy at that thought. It's for the best. Now I'll be out of their lives for good. No more ruining other people's happiness. I was never meant to be happy anyway. The young woman behind the counter smiles warmly. “Good morning. How can I help you?” I hold the scarf to my face, shielding it from her view. “I… I would like to make a withdrawal.” “Of

Chapter 151••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••My gaze rests on the map spread across the table, with various cities circled in red. The ones we've searched and couldn't find her. Every lead we have chased over the past month has ended the same way.And it fucking infuriates me. It's driving me crazy.I have not gotten any hints that proves she was taken by anyone. Even though I can't be so sure. If she wasn't taken… then that means she disappeared on her own.She left without considering ‘us.’That's the part that refuses to make sense to me.My phone vibrates, dragging me from my current thoughts.I ignore it, my head on one person.Then it buzzes again, and again for the third time.Only one person would keep calling even after being ignored.Releasing a heavy sigh, I lift the phone to my ear, not before sliding to answer, “What?”A cheerful voice comes through the speaker. “Good morning to you too.” I nearly roll my eyes. “You know you can at least pretend you missed me or pretend yo

Chapter 153••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••The motel looks nothing like what she actually deserves. It’s uncomfortable, highly unbefitting and most importantly, it's unsafe.Even standing this close to it makes my skin want to crawl out.As we stand outside the building, my pulse hammers by each passing second. The same question lingers in my head longer than it is supposed to—Is she actually in there? Or did Marco spend a whole hour discovering a loose end?“Marco,” I move a step forward. “You sure this is the place?”He drags his gaze from the building, resting it on me, “Ninety-eight point seven percent.”I scoff, somehow wiping off the invisible ruffles on my leather jacket. “There's still one point three percent.”“I'm leaving room for divine intervention. Just incase what we don't expect happens.”“Marco,” I call his name again, still examining the place.“Fine. The ATM withdrawal was less than three blocks away. Traffic cameras picked up a woman in her height walking in the d

Chapter 155 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* “How could he do such a thing to you and still insist on keeping you?” Mary says, the irritation in her voice is hardly hidden. “Most men this days don't have self-respect or dignity anymore. It is quite a shame.” I don't try to counter her beliefs. I just listen. “He slept with your sister while professing his love to you? That's truly bad. You're such a sweet girl for anyone to be that cruel to you,” Walter adds, lifting the glass of water closer to his lips. “I should have called the cops when they started driving in. I shouldn't have waited.” I bite the inside of my cheek gently before speaking, “It's fine. I-I am over it now. I just don't want him to ever find me. I don't think I'm ready to forgive him yet.” Mary clicks her tongue against her teeth, “No one is pressuring you to do so. You should take your time until you're ready. What he did is highly despicable!” When we sat at the dining table for dinner, I knew they were goin

Chapter 157*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*| 6-7 Months | Location: St. Louis, Missouri |It’s ridiculous how quickly situations in life can change. One moment you're happy, and the next… it’s heartbreak all through. That's the story of my life. I'm on the run with my swollen belly, and it is already getting really exhausting. Everytime I close my eyes, I see those masked men again, I listen for gunshots and it has really been giving me sleepless nights.I'm tired… I'm tired of running with my baby girl. I'm tired of bad things happening because of me. Sometimes if feels like I just want to disappear into thin air just so everyone can be safe.“Oh my goodness! How stupid can you be? You spilled my drink. What are you thinking about?” A voice drags me back to the present, making me remember where I actually am. This is the third time I'm messing up a customer's order without meaning to do so.It's just that my head is here and there. I'm completely confused and it's messing with me.
