"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

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

"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

Nicole. I silently sigh in relief when he sits back down. I wouldn't want Leo to see this. It feels like I'm disappointing my brother and at the same time my heart is stuck. I just want him around. His embrace is different from anyone's and there is something about his scent. I felt him leave the room because I wasn't sleeping, just wanted to be in his arms even if it was just for a day. I miss Alessio. He doesn't need to talk to me or hold me, his presence alone is enough to calm my heart. Call me stupid and I won't blame you. My brother is still angry at him and he made me promise not to see him again. But I can't, my heart can't stop beating for him. He is the water that needs to quench my thirst. The fresh air that I desperately need in my lungs to survive. I miss him so much it hurts. I just wish I could change him. Have the ability to take away all the darkness in his heart and replace it with kindness and love for me. But I can't, he is known as the ruthless don for

Nicole I can't believe I gave in. This man is like a drug that made me his addict from the first day. He is everywhere, in my head mostly. I have tried to ignore these feelings but they are strong than my mind. I don't know what to do anymore. He is toxic but I want him.Leo said Alessio has anger issues and sometimes they are extremely bad. He said the day he broke me that was him being angry. Can I really handle a man like that? Who breaks you one minute and the next he is on your tail for forgiveness, and the scariest part is how my body reacts to him. I open my eyes to look at the clock and it's my wake-up time. I started to exercise when I thought it could erase him from my mind, but look at me now. Waking up naked in his warm arms. What did I really get myself into? With a sigh, I rush to my closet for my clothes. I will shower after the gym because I'm gonna sweat anyway. The man is still sleeping and I don't want to imagine what he was doing in my room in the mid
