Andressa's smear campaign

ANTONIO“Antonio, you really need to see this. Right now.” Sebastian said, as his voice came through the phone.Very few things could get Sebastian rattled in this way and certainly not very many things could get him to call me this early in the morning. I froze mid-motion, as I set my jacket back down on the chair.He had sent me a link to a news article.“Come on, Sebastian.” I said, “I told you to put a pause on all of this already,”“You don’t need to be coming to me with headlines when you shouldn’t be trying it anymore.”“That’s what I am trying to show you, this isn’t me,” he said quickly, “That’s why I am calling.”Curiosity hit me immediately and I clicked on the link and was immediately hit with one of the most aggressive headlines I had ever read.It had a picture underneath it of me and Andressa. It was old, but I could tell that it had been carefully selected because it looked extremely intimate. I remembered the picture very well, as Andressa always addressed it as one o

All gloves are off

ANTONIOIt didn’t take me long to get to her side at all and I had no idea why, but I was nervous to see her. She had been so calm on the phone that it had the complete opposite feeling on me.I wondered what was going through her mind right now and if she was actually as okay as she seemed.She opened up the door and looked at me for one second, before stepping aside.“Come in.” she said,I hesitated for a second before actually going in. This was definitely not how I had thought about her inviting me into her house, not like I had thought about it that much.“I’m sorry.”The word came out of me the second the door shut behind me, like my body had rehearsed it before my brain could catch up.She watched me as I broke out into a full on ramble.“I knew Andressa was crazy,” I went on, my voice already tight, “but I didn’t know she’d go this far. I should have shut this down harder. I should have…”“You have nothing to be sorry about.” She cut in now, as she made her way deeper into the

The exhibition

AURORA“I still cant believe that you are doing this.” Clarissa said from behind me, as she set the hair dryer down.I was standing in the mirror staring at my reflection like it might blink first and tell me whether I was completely out of my mind.“I cant believe it either.”“It is one thing for you to say it, but for you to see this through is insane.” She said, “You know you didn’t even hesitate.”“I actually thought he would,” I replied, as I smoothed my palms down the sides of the dress.Antonio agreeing to the whole plan had thrown me off more than anything, but I had to see this through now more than anything.Clarissa stepped closer and began fussing with my hair, tilting my chin this way and that. “I swear, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were walking into a real relationship.”I scoffed at this. “Please.” I said, “None of this can ever be real. I know exactly what kind of man he is and I am never going to forget any of that in a hurry,”“But you still agreed to date

Get your house in order!

“Do you think I am a fool, Hector?”The moment the voice came through the line, Hector Valera knew this was not going to be one of those courtesy calls. In reality, he actually knew from the moment that the call came in from Andressa’s father, his tone had just cemented it.He remained seated behind his desk, as his fingers tightened ever so slightly around the phone.“Thiago,” Hector said evenly. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”“Do not insult me,” the man snapped. “I have just received word about what your son has been doing.”Hector’s expression didn’t change, but something colder settled behind his eyes.Of course he had. Andressa had come back to the house yesterday crying and when he had asked her what was wrong, she had told him that it was Antonio's fault.It was always Antonio.Hector had already braced himself for this call since morning which was why he was seated now.“Antonio can be… impulsive,” Hector replied calmly. “He is young.”“Do not patronize me,” the man cut in s

You look just like her

AURORAI squinted as the sun hit my face. I hated the fact that I didn’t come out with my shades today of all days.“Fuck this weather.” I muttered under my breath, as students passed by in clusters, laughing and arguing.I looked into my bag at that moment, as I pulled out my phone, tapping the screen for it to come on, but there was nothing.It dawned on me at that moment that I hadn’t plugged it in.“Oh shit,” I whispered, pressing the power button again like that would magically fix it. “I forgot to freaking charge it.”I let out a small groan, dragging a hand through my hair. Of all days for my phone to die, it had to be today. Antonio hadn’t shown up at school and hadn’t said anything either. I was about to call him to find out why, but now this.“Great,” I muttered. “Perfect timing.”I turned slightly, already thinking about heading back inside to plug my phone in for a few minutes. Just enough to get a little battery, make a call, make sure everything was…I stepped forward,

Touch her and I will ruin you

ANTONIO“Why isn’t her phone going through?” I muttered under my breath, as I pulled the phone away from my ear for what had to be the fifth time.The call had failed again and that wasn’t exactly something that happened with Aurora. She was chronically on her phone, I remembered because I had to take it from her the day I told her to paint that apple.“Come on, Aurora…” I muttered, hitting redial again.Straight to nothing. Just dead.My jaw tightened up at this. Normally I would have ignored and went on with my day, after all it wasn’t like why I was calling her was so important. I had just wanted to check up on her and see if she was alright since I didn’t get the chance to turn in today.Even now, as I thought about it I wondered why I was doing it in the first place. I had to remind myself that this was a fake relationship after all, I didn’t necessarily have to talk to her every day or pretend in private.At the back of my mind I knew this wasn’t pretence though, I had just genu

What is happening

AURORAI watched as Antonio’s father cleared his throat and shifted his chair backwards. “Are you leaving already?” I asked, as the question slipped out of me before I could even stop it. The whole dinner had been a very enlightening one; enlightening in the sense that I now knew how much Antonio actually hated his father, and it was a lot. Even now, as I sat here I could still feel the hatred pouring out of his body in waves.His father paused midstep and smiled at me with that same polished smile that he had worn since the moment he arrived. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Aurora,” he said, his voice smooth like aged wine. “We should do this more often.”I smiled in return. “I’d like that.”I wasn’t even sure if I meant it.His gaze lingered on me for a moment longer than necessary before shifting past me.“See you, son.” He said to Antonio.I turned instinctively toward Antonio who was staring at him with those cold, blank eyes of his. His jaw was clenched so tight that I thoug

It had to be done

ANTONIOPerhaps I shouldn’t have let her go like that, I thought, under my breath as I watched her disappear behind the door of her apartment building.For a moment, I just sat there. Hands gripping the steering wheel, as I prayed that she might just walk back out in her normal stubborn nature and demand an explanation for it all. Perhaps I would give her one then.But of course it never happened.I exhaled sharply, leaning back into the seat, dragging a hand down my face.I had fucked that up. But I knew it had to happen.There was one thing and one thing only that I needed her to understand and that was how dangerous my father actually was. She needed to stay far away from him at all cost.I let out a slight chuckle now, as I thought about how she was the only thing that was stopping me from plunging the knife on the table into his throat and ripping out that lying tongue of his. The fact that he sat there with that perfect, charming smile of his and fed her just enough truth wrappe

What if she knows the truth

ANTONIO“So let me get this straight,” I said, my voice low as I stood up from the chair in front of him. “You’ve been a mole for the police force within the mafia for all these years?”My father didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look ashamed of it at all.If anything, he looked… tired.“Something like that,” he said, leaning back in his chair like we were discussing business over dinner instead of the foundation of everything I thought I knew about him. “I feed them information. In exchange, they don’t interfere with my work… or that of my family.”A hollow laugh left me.“Your work,” I repeated. “That’s what you’re calling it now?”He ignored that, as he took a quick gulp of his drink again.“Why would you even keep something like that to yourself all these years?” I asked, stepping closer, my gaze locked onto his. “You expect me to believe you just casually decided to play both sides and never thought to mention it to your own son?”His jaw tightened slightly.“It started after your mo

What are you?

ANTONIO“You’re staring at the door again.” Clarissa said, as her voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I blinked before turning toward her.“What?”She snorted softly as she adjusted the book in her arms. “You are staring at the door waiting for him to walk in, aren’t you?”Heat crept into my face immediately.“I was not staring at the door.”“You absolutely were.”I rolled my eyes and looked away before she could see the embarrassment on my face.The morning had already felt strange from the second I stepped into the arts building, or maybe that was just because I had expected him to be there.And he wasn’t.Honestly though, that was probably for the best, especially after last night. I had absolutely no idea how I was supposed to act around him right now.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the look on his face inside the car. And then his father’s words replayed in my mind right after.You look like my wife.The fuck was even wrong with that whole family to begin with?“Y
