Chapter 29 - Fall from grace.
JanedoewritingsApologies, everyone. I experienced another anxiety attack. They really hit hard, draining my motivation even for the most basic tasks like eating. Anyway, hope you all enjoy today's chapter! It was a bit of a struggle to get through, took me two whole days. Definitely the longest I've ever pushed myself in writing. Q: What do you think Venezio's deal is? Q: Will this push them closer or farther apart? xoxo

Lilianna»»»◈««« He shot a furious glare back towards the dining hall. "What the fuck was that? Are you fucking five years old? He insulted your family, and you smashed his dinner into his face?!" he nearly shouted, his eyes blazing with anger.I stayed quiet, meeting his glare with one of my own. He didn't bother to ask if there was a reason behind my actions, just jumped straight to labeling me as angry and irrational. He didn't even bother to ask for my side of the story."I won't tolerate this kind of behavior, Lilianna," he said, his voice low and controlled, but there was an undercurrent of warning in his tone. "You embarrassed me in front of my guests." He stepped closer to me, the floor seemed to vibrate beneath his weight, drawing my attention to his powerful presence. I couldn't help but notice the subtle flex of his jaw, the way his muscles rippled beneath the fabric of his suit, tailored to perfection. His scent, a heady combination of cedarwood and musk, enveloped me. I

Marco»»»◈«««I gently laid red roses upon her resting place, my fingers tracing the engraved letters of her name on the headstone. She left this world a little too early. She had her whole life ahead of her, dreams and plans stretching out before her. She wanted to see the world with me, and I promised we'd make it happen. I swore we'd take a year off someday, just to travel and make all her dreams come true. But now, those promises lay shattered, like the petals of the roses scattered upon her grave. The ache in my chest grew heavier as I realized that I could never fulfill those vows, never bring her laughter back to fill the silence. She was gone, and with her, went the dreams we had made together.I closed my eyes, letting her smile fill my thoughts. It was a sight to behold, how it lit up her face. It was a smile that could chase away any darkness, I really liked her smile. Like...Like?I opened my eyes and gazed at her grave again. She craved love, yearned for it, and sought

Marco»»»◈«««Parking my car, I headed straight into the gym. A few of our men had been attacked in Rochester by the FBI this morning, they had brought them in for questioning, we buried the matter before it spiraled out of control.I spotted Niko in the ring, fighting with Alessandro, while Evangeline sat in the corner, gently caressing her bump as she watched her husband. I couldn't help but stare at her for a few moments, my mind drifting to thoughts of Amy. She had always wanted two children, two. I found myself wondering how she would have looked pregnant.Allegra was walking on the treadmill, and Scott stood beside her, watching her closely so he'd be there to hold her if she slipped or fell. He was protective of her more than ever as he got to know about her pregnancy as well. Delilah was sitting on Lorenzo's back as he did push-ups, her arm was still in a plaster cast. In the corner, Aurora and Massimo played, they had fake guns and were pointing at one another. When Aurora s

Lilianna»»»◈«««Today, Mrs. Moore took me under her wing in the kitchen, beginning with the fundamentals: mastering the art of cooking sunny-side-up eggs.As she cracked the eggs into the sizzling skillet, her experienced hands' guided mine, teaching me the delicate balance between heat and timing to achieve the perfect golden yolks and tender whites. Standing boldly by the stove, I confidently cracked an egg, but in my eagerness, I applied too much force, resulting in a messy, smashed egg in my hand. The gooey mess dripped between my fingers. Quietly, I retreated to the sink, washed my hands, and returned to Mrs. Moore's side. Her exasperated sigh hung in the air, but I didn't let it deter me. Sheepishly, I reached for another egg, this time applying less force. I managed a perfect crack, but as luck would have it, a small piece of shell slipped into the pan. In my attempt to salvage the situation, I accidentally broke the yolk, the once perfect egg now broken beyond repair. "You

Marco»»»◈«««I waited for her in the bedroom, taking a seat on the armchair. A sense of deep aversion with my own self ghosted underneath my skin. How could I even let this fucking happen?! Every fiber of my being recoiled at the thought of her, of what she represented – she represented her father, her entire family. The family that killed our men, women, and children in cold blood at a moment of celebration when we were off our guard. I clenched my fists, the anger simmering just beneath the surface threatening to consume me whole. How could I have allowed myself to fall prey to her wiles, to her deceitful charms? The very idea filled me with a bitter resentment, a self-directed fury that burned hotter than any flame.But even as I raged against her, a part of me knew the truth I wasn't ready to acknowledge. The memories of her betrayal, of the sins of her family, clashed violently with an inexplicable longing, a hunger that defied reason. I cursed under my breath, hatred warred

Lilianna»»»◈«««Being in the same car as him was as intimidating as sharing the same bed as him. The atmosphere was thick and stifling, making it hard to breathe as I sat there, acutely aware of his piercing gaze fixed on the road before us but those little glances in my direction sent a jolt of nervous energy coursing through my veins as if I were walking on thin ice, never knowing when it might crack beneath me. The scent of his car, just like him, enveloped me, and I couldn't shake it off. It felt like being stuck in his bubble, which should've freaked me out, but strangely, it didn't. Even after all that's happened, I couldn't deny the familiarity of his scent, as much as I wished I could.I glanced at his hand gripping the steering wheel, noticing how he drove with a relaxed grip as if he owned the road. My eyes lingered on his knuckles, battered and bruised, evidence of past fights, scabs now covered them. His hands were rugged and masculine, covered in tattoos that seemed to

Lilianna»»»◈«««To my surprise, Marco's parents defied my expectations. Despite the strained history between our families, they welcomed me with open arms, showing no signs of animosity or resentment. Not a single mention was made of whatever happened in the past, not even the incident at Marco's wedding. It was as if they were determined to leave the past behind and accept me into their family with open arms. As we sat down for dinner, Marco's father, Mario Costello, repeatedly tried to call him, but Marco ignored every single call, his father's face flushed red with anger."We've been looking forward to the day when Marco would settle down, and I'm really happy that it's finally happened," Amalia Costello said, her eyes shining with pride. Settle down? I mulled over the phrase, feeling a twist in my gut. It sounded so normal like we were some average couple planning a white picket fence future. But reality was far from it. Marco and I weren't settling into cozy domesticity. No, ou

Lilianna»»»◈«««Disregarding the other guests in the room, I approached my brother, my gaze fixed on him as he headed toward the minibar. My heart beat rapidly, blocking out the noise of the room."Samuele!" I called out, the sound escaping me like a mixture of a cry and a laugh.His head whipped around at the sound of my voice, his eyes scanning me from head to toe in a heartbeat, filled with concern. As if he was checking for any visible signs of injury, making sure I was okay.I reached him, my hand extending to touch his face, ready to pull him into a hug. But before I could, Marco's cold voice sliced through the air, causing him to take a step back from me."Samuele," Marco called to him sharply.With just his name leaving his mouth, Samuele's demeanor shifted as if he didn't even recognize me anymore.I furrowed my eyebrows, puzzled by my brother's sudden change in demeanor. Taking another step towards him, I tried to reach out, but Samuele deftly sidestepped me, a tray of drink
