"Averrius base was infiltrated by Costello's assassin" I froze on my spot and my eyes widened as I slowly turn my head to look at Nicolai who's standing behind me. The expression on his face mirror the seriousness of his tone. "W-What?" I stuttered in disbelief.He sigh and walk towards me. I flinch when he wrap the small blanket his holding around my shoulder and immediately step back as if it would be dangerous to stay standing close to me."You heard me right, Signora. Costello's assassin which came from Sintti Organization killed Averrius' men and burned the base" he confirm.My lips parted. "H-How?" I shake my head. "What base are you talking about?""One of the Averrius Main Base. The Base B, you've been their once. Before the accident remember?" He remind me. I press my lips together and clasp my cold hands. I look away while biting my lower lip. I shouldn't be surprise that this happen after I gave the exact location of that place. Costello always take the offense first if
"Czar doesn't want to be dictated, you know that very well Pierro" Nicolai calmly replied.I couldn't figure out what does he mean by that. I don't know if he agree to Pierro or maybe he has his own opinion. Because Nicolai don't usually express his thoughts not unless it is necessary or Sain ask his opinion. Not like Pierro who was so expressive with everything. Yes, he was not mean to me although he doesn't like me. But behind my back, he say everything that he wanted. "I was just thinking about the organization, Nicolai. Even Sinno has the same opinion" he insist. "Sinno haven't meet Selena yet, for sure he will change his mind" I press my lips together and scoff silently. I don't think Cassinno will change his mind. Knowing that Pierro and him has the same opinion, I really doubt. "And come on, dude. I already gave the marriage certificate to Czar. His marriage with Selena was already registered. We cannot do anything about it. Ildefonso only marry one woman" Nicolai added.It
'She's dead'I squeeze my eyes close and took a deep breath clasping my cold trembling hands while trying to calm my mind. Helena's words are keep on ringing in my ears together with her crying face that flashing inside my head. I open my eyes and somehow, I was able to calm down. I cross my arms over my chest and look at the wide greenfield in front of me while standing in the open space veranda on the second floor. I don't know what's happening to me. I just couldn't help the guilt that creeping me out. I am not a paranoid type of person but here I am, overthinking again. I am sure that no one is aware that I am a Costello, no one is suspicious to me about Laurent's death but still, I am worried. Why am I guilty when I am not the one who killed Laurent? Maybe because I attempt to kill her with my hands without knowing that she is important to Pierro because they are cousins. I breath in once again and gaze down on my hands specifically on the ring I am wearing. Why am I having a f
"An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth, Signora. Alcatraz will not let this pass, Ilde Famiglia will get even"I press my lips together, eyes become void with emotion as I look at the dangerous smile plastered on Nicolai's face. He's whole attention is on the wide greenfield in front of us. I could feel his anger, the intensity of his gaze is like a burning fire seeking for revenge. I guess Laurent Alcatraz really means a lot to them. Nicolai is angry, it was too evident in his eyes. Although he is smiling a while ago, I could sense his silent anger as if he's controlling himself because of me. While Pierro on the other hand, he was beyond angry. He was furious as if he's ready to kill anyone. I didn't know that Pierro is related to Laurent. I didn't know how and why because I refrain myself from asking. I also don't think that this is the right time for me to ask a lot of questions. They are mourning for their loss. I just wonder if they are aware that it is all Sintti's plan. "
"Wait for me, I'll return home soon..."I went in silent. He couldn't give me an exact answer which surprisingly bother me. I don't know why, maybe because he was able to to dodge my questions smoothly and I am drown with his voice that speaks softly. I tap my foot on the floor. The other line was filled with silence as if we're listening to each other's breath and that's enough to close the distance between us. I don't know where he is right now that I need to wait until he fix those whatever problem in their organization. Can't he fix it all here? What's the use of the west wing? He said that place was forbidden, what makes it forbidden then?"I hope you'll return before this week end" I break the silence."Why?" His voice turn husky as if he's close to sleeping, but then I heard his heavy footsteps on the other line followed by the screech sound of something which I assume a chair. "I'm not comfortable that you're not around" I replied.Although it really favors me when he's bus
I woke up early than the usual. I did my usual morning routine. The sky is gloomy so different from yesterday. Dark heavy clouds is all over the sky and indication of coming rain. It so ironic because I feel the same way, I mean, I feel gloomy inside... Wearing a corduroy long sleeve mini dress I went out of the room and walk downstairs. The hallway is empty just like the usual and the only thing I could hear is the sound of my heels that echo in every corner. I flash a smile when Eredia greeted me as well as Nicolai who looks ready. We decided to leave early so that there will be no hassle along the way. "Where is Pierro?" I query when I didn't saw even his shadow. "He was already waiting outside" he replied casually.I nod and roam my eyes around trying to search someone."How about Helena?" I ask in a low voice. "She's still sleeping in her room" I glance at Nicolai and smile before nodding my head. "Shall we go now?" "Yes, yes. Everything is ready" he immediately lead the w
"What brought you here?" Surprise is evident in Mrs. Castania's voice that you would mistakenly thought she doesn't like seeing her only daughter who pay her a visit. But is she even aware with her instinctive response? The uncomfortable feeling she has for me despite trying to act like a loving mother. I force a smile, a sweet one although I'm getting sick and my lips hurt for stretching too much. I walk closer and intentionally gave her a kiss on the cheek that caught him off guard. My eyes become void with emotion while staring Mr. Castania standing behind."Everyone is watching, they might conclude that you don't want to see me" I whisper.I felt her stiffen as if I just poke her fear. I return the smile on my face as I step back."I'll be staying here for a while until my husband finish his so called business" I explain. Nicolai and Pierro is behind me. I just hope they don't find suspicious that my very own mother doesn't seem pleased seeing me when supposedly she is happy be
It was a cold gloomy day. It's already six o'clock in the morning but the sun doesn't seem to have an interest to show the rest of the day. The rain is heavier than yesterday as if it's getting along to my mourning soul. The supposed to be bright sunny sky is filled with heavy dark clouds accompanied with thunder strike. I am now ready to go. Just like what I did the first time I sneak out in this mansion, I use the door in the kitchen and take the small path that leads to the back door. I immediately saw the black sedan car waiting for me so I immediately went inside before Enzo could step out and open the door for me."Let's go" I hurriedly whisper and fasten my seatbelt.He immediately maneuver the car without asking. I check the side mirror on my side making sure that no one is following us before I start fixing my self."Did you bring the things I ask you?" I ask Enzo while brushing my short hair.Yeah, Herravie has a short hair just below my jaw. I prefer having a short hair b
