Nicole. The breakfast table looks tense. It's like no one wants to be here and I can't blame them. The woman sitting in front of me is the accurate definition of fake. Her large breasts are almost falling out from the transparent net she's wearing and she seems to like it. Don't even start on her butts. Men! You should have seen how she was forcefully twerking them when she walked in. The red-painted lips are nearly covering her face, and she had to apply makeup like the world was gonna end, and this would be her last. The strong perfume she used has taken over the fresh air we were freely blessed with and turned the aroma of the food we are eating to nonexistent.From the moment she entered Alessio's house, her scowl has not wavered from me and I find it funny. She's one of those perfect high-class fake-ass bitch. Her nails are longer than my problems and I'm trying so hard to find beauty in them but it's just a big nay for me. To make matters worse, Barbie is Alessio's mothe
Alessio I understand her anger. I would be angry too. But Nicole needs to trust me. It doesn't matter how long we've known each other. It might be two days but I trust her. I trust Nicole to take care of my fucked up heart. I don't need to get a degree to know that she is pure. I'm sure if it wasn't for Ernesto and his greed, she wouldn't be in this crime shit. Mother has been a bitch all my life and it's something I learned to tolerate. She had this speculation that I need to marry into a rich family and she has been going around looking for that wife. Unknown to her, she is wasting her time because I would never let anyone decide for me. Especially if it's regarding a woman I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I was so impressed when Nicole put a claim on me. The girl is worth my attention and she needs to know that she's not just here for a good lay. She's here for the whole of me. She is the only person I will do anything for. Even if it means rejecting my own m
"Nicole" Everyone shouts rushing to her but she has her eyes only on the corpse laying on the floor. Her nose is heavily bleeding and the weapons she had in her hands are carelessly dropped on the floor. Is she having a panic attack? I don't think so because this is not her first kill. No one expected this would be the outcome of my bitchy mother's schemes. The said woman is now standing at a safe distance scared as fuck. How come loud-mouth bitches are the most scared and weak. "Baby come on," I kneel beside her and cradle her on my lap. " No, no, fuck" she chants gripping her head like it's about to burst. "He killed him, God no" Nicole cries looking at Leo and the nosebleed becomes heavier. She needs to stop straining. "He killed him"She stares at her brother with a helpless look as tears freely flow down her face. "He made me watch Leo""Baby stop thinking, look at me" I hold her cheeks and direct her head to me. Tara hands me a couple of tissues and I quickly wipe out the
Nicole The harsh stomach cramps wake me up from my nap and I groan trying to find a better sleeping position but it only makes it worse. This is only the beginning yet it is this painful. How about when I'm 5 months? Can I really do it? Is what the doctor said true? I slowly sit up and blankly stare at the empty room. Everywhere is quiet and I wonder if there is any form of life in this house. I get up and head for the door, I need to talk to Alessio. This is not something I can handle on my own. We can confirm it together.I trudge to the living room to find it empty, with no sign of Tara or anyone else. Why would they leave me here alone? "You need to sit down"I quickly turn around to her voice and cringe. When did she start caring? And why the hell is she talking to me?"My son gave me orders not to let you out of my sight until he is back" she adds and I quietly sit on the grey single couch that is close to me. I don't have it in me to argue with her or ask any kind of que
Alessio. I can't believe it. It's hard to believe she is willing to give away her life for our kid. Nicole is crazy to think I would let it happen. For the first time in my life, I finally found something that makes sense, something worth fighting for. My heart eventually knew the joy of beating for someone. Fuck! I'm falling for Nicole and it's crazy I was about to lose her I can't imagine what I would have done if that happened. A life without her. "Our mum made the same decision my sister was about to make" I turn to look at Leo with raised eyebrows. "Nicole was born in 8 months and that was the last time I saw my mum. I practically raised her because my dad was always working.""This is crazy man," Luca whispers, stuffing my glass with more liquor, and I can't agree less. This shit is disturbing. "So she doesn't remember all that shit?" Luca asks, taking a long drag from his cigar and Leo looks at me in question. I hate to break his hope. She only remembered her dad's d
Alessio"You are seriously letting Leo go because of this bitch? " Luca yells in exasperation and that pisses me off more. Why can't everyone just mind their own business? Who I fuck shouldn't matter to anyone. "He will be back" I mumble, staring at the bullet wound he left me.I have never been on the receiving end of his anger. I had just one reason for not fighting back or killing him."I don't think so boss, I should get going" he declares giving Cece a sour glance before heading out. Looks like I pissed everyone off. My parents disappeared to wherever and now I'm left alone with the bitch in front of me. "You should get going too" I point to the door while standing up. I need alcohol and weed. And maybe take care of the bullet in my arm. Screw Leonardo. I need to forget every shit that happened today and start tomorrow with a clear head. A clear head to go visit Ernesto and cause him so much trouble that will compel him to always turn in his grave at the mention of my nam
"See you later brother" I kiss his cheek rushing out. I'm not fully healed yet but I'm getting there. I don't know what I could have done if Leo wasn't here. God has a reason for bringing him to me at that particular time. When we left Alessio's house, I was more broken and fragile than I have ever been. My heart was aching more badly than my sick body. How could he? I kept wondering and hoping it was all a dream. Leo has been taking care of me. The first week was unbearable, I kept crying and watching sad movies until I realized I was hurting my brother too. So to keep my mind occupied, I started little training and he also offered to help I have been trying to keep Alessio out of my mind but it's an impossible job. I hear him at the front door every day but my brother won't let him in. Leo is more hard-headed than I imagined him to be. He is a man who doesn't take shit from anyone and he always stands by his word. He had me promise not to see Alessio again so the only way I c
"What do you mean you don't know Leonardo?" I yell into the phone violently hitting the table. How the fuck can he let her out, and don't bother to follow her or appoint someone to do it. "You don't yell at me Alessio, you have no idea how fucked up I feel right now" he yells too and I groan grabbing my car keys. There will never be a decent conversation between us anymore. "Just pray nothing happens to her, Leo, I don't give a damn if you are her brother or not"Fuck. I hope no one touched her. She should not spot a single scratch or I'm shooting everything in sight. "Fuck you" the idiot shouts back and I throw the phone on the back seat of my car. I drive to the location he told me and I'm accompanied by Luca and two of my guys. Just in case shit goes south. The place looks wrecked. "Damn Alessio, this can't be" Luca murmurs and I have no words to say. I can't describe how I'm feeling right now. I feel like air left my lungs. The empty feeling occupying my heart, for the f
