Rain lay in her bed, she was tempted to put her hands over her ears. She couldn’t sworn she still heard the screams of Ymir when Alexander did what he wanted to do.Tearing open his skin, burning him, punching him…every single action elicited a scream from the man Rain almost felt pity for him but then again she doesn’t look away and one might even say she enjoyed every moment.Is it what Elisa would’ve wanted?That tiny voice at the back of her mind haunted her.If Elisa were here, would she approve of Alexander doing such a thing and Rain supporting him?Rain doubted it but the fact remained that Elisa was dead and she was never coming back.“Hey…” Viola’s weak voice brought Rain out from her thoughts. “Viola!” Rain gasped as she immediately got up from the bed and walked to the door where Viola stood. Rain put an arm around her waist to support her and helped her as both of the walked slowly to the bed. “You should be in bed resting,” Rain said as she heard the tired si
Alexander turned on the faucet and put his bloodied hands under the running water. He forced himself not to stare at his reflection because he knew he would hate what he saw.A man that was barely recognizable. A man that has taken on a path he told himself he wouldn’t take…but now things were different.Elisa was no longer here. She wasn’t here to tell him that happiness, true happiness wasn’t far away. Was there truly such a thing as true happiness for a man like him? “Xander, Romeo and Luigi are here,” Came Enzo’s voice through the door.“I’ll be out in a minute,”Alexander blew out a ragged breath. Ymir was dead and he now had the locations of the biggest Council members, Elisa’s death was halfway avenged…his cousin’s death as well.This was supposed to be a reason to celebrate, something that would make him feel lighter. Take that heavy feeling off his chest but it didn’t . Alexander was annoyed by the fact that he still felt the same, there was no change.He washed h
A rose by her bedside.Every single day for the past one week.It should feel like a routine, like her life was finally getting back to the weird normal it was when Elisa was alive but, it didn’t.Rain now knew who was keeping those roses every single morning, what baffled her the most was how she never stirred whenever he walked into the room.Yet whenever they met during the day, he was indifferent toward her, both of them knowing fully well what had happened only a few hours ago.Alexander was driving Rain insane, confusing her with his actionsOne second he was the charming man she knew, bringing a single rose to her bedroom whilst she slept and then the next second he is the Don of the Guerriero empire and her nothing more than his assistant.“Aren’t you and Xander going out for a meeting today?” Viola asked, a bag of chips in her hand and countless crumbs littered on the bed and her face like she was a fucking five-year-old!Yes, Viola has also been here in the past one w
The meeting was being held at an amusement park which Rain felt was the weirdest place to have a meeting.But apparently it was what Mr. Endicott requested and strangely enough, Alexander agreed to his request. “This is going to be fun,” Luigi said as they stepped down from the car, he looked at Rain with an excited expression and Rain couldn’t help but laugh at his enthusiasm.“We’re here for business alone, you know that right?” Rain said with a faint smile on her face.The park was the most beautiful she’d ever seen, the sun was bright and it made the place look even more colorful and vibrant.Adults and kids alike flooded the place, some in long straight lines, some on rides that it was clearly obvious they couldn’t handle. Maybe it was the screams and laughter of people, maybe it was the scent of junk food in the air and the crowd but, Rain felt lighter than she had been in a long while. She inhaled deeply and then watched the crowds of people having fun longingly. “We’
Rain wasn’t going to be distracted by the activities at the park, or so she told herself. It actually became a chore just to pay proper attention to their conversation. “…really went through with it,” “Yes, yes I did.” Alexander’s reply was short and devoid of any emotion. He brought out the files that Luigi had given to him earlier and set the down on the table. “Wow,” Williams said with a low chuckle, “You really don’t waste time when it comes to these things Mr. Guerriero,” He took the files and divided them into two, giving the other half to his twin. “The list is quite long but it’s achievable, don’t you think?” Walter asked his brother who nodded in reply. Were they going to be the ones tasked with killing the families? Holy shit. Was Alexander really going through with it? “What are you guys going to do with them?” Rain could see from the top of the files that they were people’s profiles, even little kids weren’t spared. The Endicott brothers looked at Alexander stran
He didn’t look scared of the roller coaster, when he paid for the ride and they were both seated properly. He still had on that passive expression, he looked like he didn’t have a fucking care in the world.So stiff… “Have you ever been on a roller coaster before?” He didn’t answer, instead he inhaled audibly as the technician made sure they were both strapped I’m properly.“Make sure to keep your legs in at all times and don’t unbuckle your seatbelts halfway,” the man said and then winked at Rain. “You sure you’ll be okay ma’am?”“ She’ll be fine, leave!” Alexander said coldly to the man, his eyes widened slightly in fear but then he sneered at Alexander before leaving.He probably saw Alexander as a cock block right now.“Is this really your first time on a rollercoaster?”Rain still didn’t get a reply, at that point she was already laughing because she knew the truth. “Damn,” Rain laughed uncontrollably, “I’m sorry I know it isn’t funny but...I haven’t met anyone who’
A gasp. A breathy whisper.“What about Andrea?” She wasn’t going to bring it up. She wanted to forget completely about it and just enjoy the warmth that his body brought, the ways his rough fingers scorched her skin and how she enjoyed the softness of his lips against hers.He pulled away, his hand moved up to cup her chin.Rain opened her blurry eyes to look at him, his lips were wet with their saliva and his eyes were alight with a flame that made her entire body burn with desire. “Just for a moment Gattina…” his entire body had stiffened when he heard her but he didn’t make any movement to leave her.His other hand went down to her waist while the other cupped her cheek, his breathing ragged and his heart pounding hard and fats against Rain’s palms.“…don’t think about that, just feel this,”A sweet shiver ran down her spine, she moved closer to him, melted into him and moaned as her sensitive peaks rubbed against his chest.“Alexander…” Those words were at the tip of h
Rain was breathless by the time the car pulled to a stop. No, they hadn’t kissed but, he was so close to her, her entire body was aware of his arousal, felt it. His body spike it in volumes and he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.Once the driver, who’s face was already beet red stopped the car. Alexander smiled at her as he opened the car door and stepped down. Yet again, he held out a hand for her…she took it without hesitation.Fuck it! She thought.His palms were callused but warm, she enjoyed the feel of his skin.She looked up at him, brows furrowed in concentration. Trying to decipher just who the man in front of her was. Was it the arousal that made him act this way?Was it because he was still trying to apologize to her or was it all genuine?Rain was afraid that it wasn’t. “Why do you look so confused?” he asked as they both began to walk into the mansion.Rain coughed awkwardly and looked away, hating the way her cheeks heated up at the sound of his voice but f
