Whiskey Lies

Ich wurde als Verlobte von Lorenzo, dem Erben der Mafia, auserwählt. Doch auf einer Familien-Gala wurde Lorenzo offen von Chiara, der Tochter eines Waffenhändlers, umworben. Chiara war anders als die übrigen regelkonformen Debütantinnen. Sie jagte in einem modifizierten Sportwagen durch die Straßen, schnitt ihre Zigarren mit einem militärischen Kampfmesser auf und trank den stärksten Whiskey pur. In ihr loderten Wildheit und Ungezähmtheit – ein Feuer, von dem Lorenzo den Blick nicht lösen konnte. Er beschwerte sich bei den Familienältesten: „Wie kann so eine Frau jemals unsere Madre werden und die gesamte Familie führen?“ Seine Worte trieften vor Verachtung gegenüber ihrer Rücksichtslosigkeit, doch seine Augen hingen an ihr, verfolgten jede ihrer Bewegungen, als sie ihr Glas hob. An Lorenzos Geburtstag verkündete er schließlich seine Absicht, Chiara zu seiner Geliebten zu machen. Chiara lehnte ab. „Die Frauen meiner Familie sind Ehefrauen, niemals Geliebte. Und das Herz meines Mannes gehört einzig mir.“ Lorenzo wandte sich an mich, seine Stimme zögerlich. „Alessia, es ist nur ein Titel. Ich brauche dich, um ihn Chiara zu überlassen. Bitte? Sie versteht unsere Traditionen nicht und macht ein Drama daraus, mich zu heiraten. Wir müssen sie nur vorerst beruhigen. Selbst wenn sie mich heiratet, wirst du weiterhin diejenige sein, die die Geschäfte der Familie führt.“ Als ich in meinem Brautkleid vor dem Spiegel stand, bohrte sich ein scharfer Kristall am Mieder in meinen Finger. Ein einziger Tropfen Blut blühte auf dem makellosen weißen Satin. Das Kleid war ruiniert, aber die Hochzeit würde stattfinden. Wenn ich nicht die Frau des Erben sein konnte, würde ich die Frau des Dons werden.

On the verge of total downfall, marriage was the only option that could save her and her family. Marrying a man that was born bathing on a golden tub might be a great luck in the eyes of the public but little did they know the consequence that lies within.

Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.
