Proof beyond doubt

ANTONIO“You have to control your temper today.”My father’s voice was calm as the car rolled through the gates of the estate where the meeting between the families was being held.I stared out the tinted window silently. The massive villa ahead of us looked almost peaceful from the outside. Which was very ironic, because inside that building sat some of the most dangerous people in Italy.People who could decide whether a man lived or died over a glass of whiskey and a simple vote.“I mean it, Antonio,” my father continued carefully. “They’re going to try to provoke you.”I scoffed quietly.“No shit.”Hector sighed beside me.“This is exactly what Vittorio wants. He wants you emotional and reckless with everything. You can't allow him to see that reaction in there, do you understand?”I clenched my jaw.That bastard already had me exactly where he wanted me.Aurora was still in that house. And every second she remained there felt like acid burning through my chest.“We still haven’t

Time to go

AURORA “You need to eat something.” I looked up from the window the second the maid spoke softly from the doorway. I noticed that the tray in her hands shook slightly. I could tell how nervous she was, and it most likely was this way with all of the staff right now. Especially after Antonio’s attack. They had brought on more guards and more guns. Perhaps I would be able to turn one of these attendants to an ally. It was a long shot, but if I could do that, then maybe that would be my ticket out of here. “I’m not hungry,” I muttered quietly. The maid hesitated awkwardly before setting the tray down near the table. “You should still eat.” She said, “The boss is going to be very cross if you don’t.” “Your boss.” I said, trying to strike up a conversation. “Do you know how long they are planning on keeping me here?” The girl looked at me for a couple of seconds and shook her head. She was about to say something else when the guard outside knocked on the door. “Hey, move it alo

Rescued

AURORAI stared at the folded note in my hand again for what had to be the hundredth time that day. My heart still raced every single time I read it. I had spent the entire day trying not to lose my mind or overthink too much about it. The possibility of it being some kind of trap definitely crossed my mind more than once. Because honestly, it all felt too good to be true. And if there was one thing I know, it was that Andressa was cruel enough to do something like this.She was even more unstable now. Perhaps all of this was a ploy to torture me psychologically before killing me.Something about that note felt real, though.God.My choices were very limited right now. Stay here and pray that whatever deal her father was talking about Tristan goes through before Andressa can do something much worse to me.Now that I repeated it back to myself, there was really only one choice in all of this.I was getting out of here tonight. Or I would die trying. The hours dragged painfully slo

Last stand

"This is unacceptable!"The roar echoed through the study loudly enough that several guards standing outside instinctively straightened. Nobody wanted to be anywhere near Vittorio Mancini when he was angry.And right now? He was absolutely furious.The glass in his hand shattered as he hurled it against the fireplace.The room fell silent immediately, as they all stood rigidly in place. Nobody dared to move or even speak. Vittorio paced across the room like a caged predator. His face was red with rage.His hands clenched tightly behind his back."How?" he demanded.Nobody answered."HOW?"The second shout made several men visibly flinch as he pointed toward them."I thought I hired the best security team in fucking Italy."There was still silence as his eyes narrowed dangerously."That's what I was told." He said, "And yet somehow..." He laughed bitterly. "Somehow a young girl managed to walk right out of my estate."There wasn’t a single explanation that they could have given as to

Burn it all to the ground

ANTONIO"I still can't believe you are here right now.”I smiled as Aurora tightened her grip around my arm. We were sitting in one of the living rooms inside the house, and for what felt like the first time in weeks, I felt like I could finally breathe.She was here. Safe and sound. Every time I looked at her, I found myself checking all over again just to make sure she was actually there and that this wasn't some cruel dream.She leaned her head against my shoulder."You almost got yourself killed."Sebastian laughed from where he was sitting."That's actually true."I shot him a look and he raised both hands."What?""You were acting like a madman."Aurora looked up at me."You really came back for me."There was something softer in her voice now. I was sure that she had already accepted her fate in that house and God only knows what more hideous things they would have done to her.“I will never leave you.” I replied,Then her expression became serious now."I thought I was never

Antonio experiences loss

AURORA"You are coming home with Tristan tomorrow, and that is final."I groaned dramatically into the phone."Seraphina…""No.""Can you at least let me finish?""No."I looked over at Tristan, who was sitting across from me in the living room nursing a cup of coffee, for a bit of support and he raised his hand up in surrender, showing that he had nothing to say to help my case.He looked suspiciously amused. The bloody traitor."I cannot believe you're enjoying this," I told him.Tristan raised both hands."I didn't say anything.""You don't have to."He laughed.Unfortunately, Seraphina heard that."Is Tristan around you there?""Unfortunately.""Put him on.""Why?""Because he's the only sensible person in that house right now."I gasped."Excuse me?""You heard me." She said, “It is as if you have lost your mind over there. Do I need to remind you what just happened to you?”I definitely didn’t need a reminder because it wasn’t something that would ever leave my mind to begin wit

Pay in Blood

"You're leaving tonight," Vittorio Mancini said as he was basically fidgeting around. His large study was in complete disarray. Men moved in and out of the room carrying weapons, stacks of documents, and boxes of ammunition. Phones rang constantly, as voices barked instructions in rapid Italian.Outside the windows, the Mancini estate looked more like a military compound than a family home right now. Everybody knew what was coming.War.Andressa stood near the desk with her arms folded tightly across her chest."No," she replied to her father.Vittorio looked up from the papers he had been reviewing."What?""I said no," she replied."Andressa…""I'm not leaving."Her father sighed at this. He should have been angry at this show that she was putting on right now, but he didn’t even have the luxury to be angry. He was too tired for it. There were so many things that required his attention right now and he needed Andressa to be fully out of the way for him to actually focus on them.

Come find me

ANTONIO"I never thought I would actually mourn the old man when he died." The words left my mouth now, as I let out a little laugh. I just sat there in the study.His study.Which now felt too large and too empty for me.The silence in the house was different from any silence I had ever experienced before. It reminded me of how it was when my mother had died that day.Only a few hours had passed since my father had died.A few hours, but it felt like a lifetime ago.I sat behind the desk with a glass of whiskey in my hand that I hadn't touched. Sebastian stood by the window.Neither of us had slept or even looked like we intended to. I just stared at the glass and then laughed bitterly."Look at this." I said, as Sebastian glanced at me. "Life truly can be cruel, cant it?”I shook my head."For years I hated him." I said, "For years I blamed him for the death of my mum and told myself I didn't care what happened to him."I swallowed hard."And now he's gone." The words hurt more tha

Please be Okay

AURORA"You are not leaving my sight again."That was the first thing Seraphina said when she opened the door for me and Tristan.And before I could even respond, she had already thrown her arms around me.I stumbled back a step, letting out a little laugh now."Whoa…”"No." She squeezed me tighter. “No trying to wiggle out of this. I am serious, Aurora."I laughed despite myself."I can barely breathe.""Good.""Seraphina,""I spent days thinking you were dead."The laughter died in my throat as her voice cracked slightly.She had truly been scared these past couple of days and had probably spent them imagining every possible horrible thing that could have happened to me.My arms tightened around her."I'm sorry."She buried her face against my shoulder."You better be."I smiled."I'm home.""Yeah." Her voice broke completely. "You're home."For a moment neither of us said anything. Then she pulled away and immediately grabbed both sides of my face."You look thinner." She finally s

Back to me (The end)

AURORASIX MONTHS LATER"Congratulations, graduate.” Seraphina said from behind me. I turned around and she hugged me so tightly that I nearly lost my balance.“Look at you.” She said as she pulled away and held my shoulders. "I can't believe this day is finally here."I laughed. “I am glad that is over.”The past few months had been one of the hardest in my life. Every single part about school reminded me of him and it felt like torture. The first couple of weeks, I kept waiting for him to walk through the door of the class and give us some absurd task, like he always did when he took the course. But of course nothing like that happened.She immediately pulled me into another hug."Congratulations, Rory."The use of the nickname made me smile."Thank you.""No." She shook her head, as her expression softened. "I'm really proud of you.”The simple words hit me square in the chest. At some point in the past it had been my absolute dream to go to art school, but I never felt that dr
