It was impossible to get away from my friends, no matter how I tried to give them an excuse to go inside and see Luciano. They dragged me back. Already the fireworks were mesmerizing, I was bewitched by the glorious sight of reading my name on the skylines. My friends knew just how to make me cry, and having someone like Sydney was something I cried about every day.“Hey, you don't seem fine?” I asked Sydney, who had just come from answering her phone, which had been ringing non-stop. Sydney looked a little disturbed, or was it just how she got whenever her family called.“Liv…well, actually aunt called and well, “Sydney said a little hesitant. Looking at her expression, which was down. I knew she wanted home. As much as I wanted her to stay and have fun like the rest of us. Her family wasn't so friendly. She lived with her aunt and uncle. And had three mean cousins who didn't like her. They made her life hard and never allowed her to go to social gatherings like parties. They gave he
(Livia)The fire in his eyes scared me greatly. I've never seen Luciano so angry before. His actions frightened me as tears rained down my face. He was nothing but a vicious beast thirsty for blood "Lu please...what...please stop it!"I tried to stop him. Crying my heart out as he tied me up. His face flushed with anger, and his nose flared in complete disdain. I didn't want to see the monster he had suddenly turned into. So frightening as he tightened the ropes around my wrists causing me excruciating pain which had my eyes watering non-stop"Lu I'm begging you please stop this...this isn't you" I pleaded with him hoping he could stop and tell me this was just a prank. He wasn't this vicious to tie me up when I was hearing gunshots downstairs. Fear resided in my heart praying and hoping my family was okay. I didn't want this to be happening as I fought to get up but just one deadly glare from him had me shaking my head nervously as salty tears leaked from my eyes"Boss...it's done...
(Livia)The merciless winds caused the enormous trees to crash and slap against each other like mountains coming down from a raging hell-pit angered by the vigorous storm. The wind gusts knife the piercing thorns of branches. Branded upon the colossal tree trunk was a single blinding vanishing moon hiding away in the clouds, which had cut through the immensely thick cloud and fog like a laser. Its source could vividly make out to be an inferior. Everything seemed like a dream. A total nightmare I'd wake up from, unfortunately, reality flashed through my eyes showing the monster whom I thought was the love of my life. Luciano didn't even let me run to save my parents from getting burned in the scorching fire. The flames of destruction, burning down my house with my beloved family in it. Crying and shouting for him to stop didn't help when my little brother and my parents were in agonizing pain, yelling for me to save them. Luciano showed me in the back of his truck and drove away from
“Are you going to kill us?” the words came out like a whisper, but I wanted to ask him if he was willing to kill not just my family or me but“I'm pregnant Luciano… I'm carrying your child”the words left my chattering teeth as silence fell between us. Everything around was silent like the serene waters of the sea and only the heavy wind blowing across the trees as the sounds intensified.“Y…you are lying…you are lying, you know that!” Luciano said, shaking his head as he gripped the back of my neck tightly and pulled me to him. He was hurting me so much that tears flowed down my face non-stop.“I'm carrying your child,” I said, despite how much I knew he wasn't going to listen. He was furious as he shook my body with so much strength as he gripped me by the shoulders.“You mean nothing to me!” he made a low growl angrily. His eyes shone with rage as his breathing intensified. His grip on my shoulders tightened as his nails dug deep into my flesh. Luciano was a total monster, capable
The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers.The roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun. The sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky. The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its warm light. Specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window."Congratulations sir...you did well... Everyone loves you"praises came Luciano's way as he addressed the many people who had come to his mansion to give congratulatory wishes for he was now elected as a mayor. After a long time of campaigning, he finally won the election and was elected as the mayor. Of course, he was proud of himself. Of having the power he had always wanted and he knew nothing and no one would get in his way"Thanks a lot, mayor...we were looking forward to working with you" people came forward and
"W...where...am...I?"Olivia's hoarse and strained voice echoed throughout the bright room as she tried to adjust to the bright light. Her eyes burned from the lights which were blinding and unforgiving. Raising her hands which felt heavy, she reached for her eyes and rubbed them gently hoping the drowsy feeling would go away. Her head was spinning so much that's for a second she felt we if she had been drinking alcohol for so long and woke up with a deadly hangoverHer entire body ached so much that the feeling of being run over by a bus repeatedly was the only explanation she could agree on when she attempted to push herself up into a sitting position. Her body snapped so much that the sharp pain rung in her ears causing a deafening sound to affect her hearing senses"Ahh...cough...cough..mom! Dad! Where are you?" she shouted as loud as but her throat cracked causing a sharp pain that had her coughing violently due to the dryness of her throat"L... Lalo...help…" she called out as he
It was a shame someone saved my life, as much as I was expected to be happy that I was alive. But what good was being alive when my family was no moreAfter waking up from death, nothing was the same. My face was not the same, how did all this happen. I had nothing to live for and lying on the narrow hospital bed staring at the ceiling wasn't helping. Everything was gone. My identity. My beloved family. My little brother. I didn't want to feel this pain residing in my heart. Tears escaped my eyes without my permission. Recalling what the man I claimed to live did to me made the knot in my chest tighten…The promises he made to me. I listened and like a fool, I believed himFor two years he faked his feelings towards me..it hurt more than anything to know Luciano was only after revenge. He never valued me and everything he ever said to me was a lie"Okay now let's see." the door suddenly opened and the doctor from earlier walked in I quickly reached for my face and wiped the tears raini
The man before me was everything I didn't like. From his posture and his demeanor, everything I loathed. There was that one thing I found in men who thought they held too much power. The pride in their eyes to think they deserved everything that came their way was a turn-off for me.“What? Surprised… I'm just an ordinary man who…likes collecting toys” again he spoke in a deep calm voice. He wasn't trying too hard to be handsome. Even so, he was a compelling figure. He was good-looking, handsome. His dark brown hair, as thick and lustrous as mink fur, was cut in short layers. But it was the eyes that seized my attention, dark brown a volatile color you could never forget once you'd seen it… I couldn't compare him to any man in terms of looks. His aura was overbearing as he stood with the insolent, loose-jointed slouch of someone who'd rather spend his time in a pool hall. Although he was well-dressed, it was obvious he didn't make his living sitting behind a desk, he was too rough and
