The Broken Diamond 1- leaving
Katrina's pov I gather all our belongings in a rush. I try to calm myself and focus on keeping a brave face for my daughter. my soon to be ex-husband comes in screaming at me. I try to ignore him and shove more clothes into bags until the burning sensation spreads across my cheek. "I'm talking to you you selfish little bitch. you think you can just leave and take our daughter?" he screams in my face. " You can't make it one day without me!" I try to move past him and continue packing, but he shoves me into the dresser. "You think you can just pack up and leave? You're broke and have no place to go porca puttana!" he continues to insult me, but all I can hear is my little girl screaming from her crib. "You can't keep us here anymore. I'm more than capable of taking care of myself and Jane." I scream at him as I push past him and pick up my daughter to soothe her. I put her in her carseat and grabbed my phone and keys. "I am leaving here, taking my daughter, and there is nothing yo
The Broken Diamond 2- homecoming
I drove as far as I could, trying to forget everything that just happened. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. Dylan's voice still ringing in my head. I needed to find my family. I needed to get Jane to a safe place. i hadn't spoken to my brothers in years, and my parents were gone. my mother passed after a mysterious accident that is still under investigation, and my father met his demise shortly after the downfall of my marriage. I had to turn my phone off because Dylan was blowing up my phone with calls and text of threats and pleads. I wasn't falling for that again, not this time. Jane is 3 months old, and she's already seen too much for even an adult to witness. I wasn't turning back. No amount of money or luxury was going to make me return. he may be a big bad wolf, but I'm even bigger and badder lioness. I had the feeling to check my phone, so I pulled over for gas and turned my phone on. After what seemed like a million notifications later and filling up
The Broken Diamond 3-after the shock
I woke up in a panic, my heart racing with fear. Where was Jane? where am I? I took a deep breath to calm myself. the smell of lavender and cherry blossoms brought me back to a state of calm. I looked around and recognized the dark purple walls and gold trim everywhere. I was in my old room, in my golden Cali King princess bed, as I used to call it. the door was cracked just enough for me to hear my brother cooing and awing somewhere close by. they must have Jane. I tried to sit up, but it hurt so much to move. an unfamiliar face popped in from the bathroom door carrying a basket of medical supplies. "Oh good, you're awake! don't move dear, you're far too weak. Let me help you, " the middle-aged woman said, hurrying over to me. I guess she was a nurse of some sort. she helped me sit up and stuffed pillows behind me. "I'll go get Mr. Kev and Dr. Brown." the woman said, walking away without giving me a chance to speak. I hate when people do that. Kev and an older gentleman in a whi
The Broken Diamond 4-decisions
I could feel his breath in my hair. I could smell his skin right under my nose. i could feel his muscular frame wrapped around me. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or if this was real. I prayed this was real. I opened my eyes and looked around. I almost didn't believe it. I was in my old room, but nothing had changed. it was just the way I left it except for Jane tucked away in her crib in the corner next to my king-sized bed. I tried to roll over, but Alexander's grip got tighter. I guess he thought I was trying to leave. "I want to see you face not run away," I laughed. he loosened his grip and propped himself up on his elbow. "i was lost in the moment." he said sleepily. " The moment lasted all night, and your lazy bums are wasting daylight." Kade interrupted, standing at the foot of the bed. " Get out!" I threw a pillow and hit Kev completely missing Kade. all my brothers stood at the foot of the bed. once Alexander realized it, he jumped halfway across the room like a teena
The Broken Diamond 5- Lighting the match
we landed in Chicago and went to luggage claim. Jane slept in her baby wrap snugg as a bug on Alexander's chest the whole flight. I was falling in love with Alexander more and more. he was amazing with Jane and a natural at that. she didn't even cry when she woke up at the air port. " I'm surprised she behaved so well for her first flight," I told Alexander as I helped him take off the wrap. "Well, she had a comfy bed and a great sound machine," Alexander laughed as he patted his chest. I laughed and took Jane to get changed while the guys found our luggage. I returned back to the group and noticed Cousin juno kept checking his phone. I didn't think much of it until I saw the number that was calling him as he ran off from the group. " Well, I'll be damned." I said, walking over to my brothers. " What's wrong, Kar?" Kyle asked " I'm gonna ring a blue canaries neck," I said, pointing to the poll, juno was trying to hide behind taking his call. "What do you mean?" kev step
The Broken Diamond 6- the meeting
I woke up to the sound of knocking at the door. I looked at the clock- 1030 am. Hurriedly, I threw on a robe and opened the door. it was Nona holding a tray of breakfast. "I thought you two could use some nourishment." Nona said with a wink. "Your brother and a few cousins are off tending to some things. sweet Jane is playing with nonno in the sitting room. come join us when you're ready, " she said casually as she placed the tray on the dresser and walked out of the room. "Thank you, Nona!" I said as she shut the door as I carried the tray over to the bed, Alexander sat up, stretching his long muscular arms. he kissed me and helped me back in bed with the food. on the tray was a couple of plates with eggs, bacon, sausage, crepes, and fresh fruits. we each had a nice cappuccino and orange juice as well. "Nona outdid herself," Alexander mumbled with a mouth full of bacon. "This is amazing. reminds me of my childhood, " I said, scarfing down my crepes. after we finished our b
The Broken Diamond 7- don't show fear
After the family meeting, I was left with so much fear and frustration that I couldn't seem to shake a feeling. I decided to take a walk around the garden and get some fresh air with Jane. Alexander and kev joined us. the garden was full of beautiful flowers, ripe fruit trees, and gorgeous weeping willows. everything was beautiful under the full moon. in the center of the garden was gazebo covered in vines. it looked almost abandoned but was well kept. there was a sitting area and a child's swing set as well. I decided to stop and think. I placed Jane in the swinging basket and gently pushed her. kev and Alexander went over to the fruit trees and started picking some peaches and plums. lost in thought, I sat absently pushing Jane. a noise in then bushes near the gazebo caught my attention. I looked around to see what it was. I saw nothing but the shadows the moon light casted off the beautiful plants and trees. I searched for kev and Alexander but couldn't see them, not even thei
The Broken Diamond 8- the hunt is on
after hearing that Dylan was hunting us, i needed to get to Jane. My instincts kicked in, and i lost control. I was no longer an innocent child. I was officially a Romano woman. I left the garden without a word and let my brothers deal with the intruders. I walked into the house and said nothing. I just stood in the doorway of the sitting room watching my Nona and aunts awe over Jane. Alexander walked in behind me and scooped me up without a word. he carried me upstairs and into our bathroom. Alexander sat me on the side of the tub and started a shower. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. I was covered in blood, and my dress was ruined, but I didn't care. I was numb and infuriated. Dylan was relentless and heartless. little did he know so was I. I wasn't going to give up until he was dead and no longer a threat to my daughter or my family. Alexander walked up behind me and undressed me without saying a word. his touch was gentle and caring. the silence was heartbreakin
