PIETRO
Lucrezia told me before that she would only live in her father’s house temporarily to help with her sister and to fulfill her role as the consigliere of the Rocchi family.
She even told me that she is going to come back and live with me again as my wife after things are already resolved in her family. She said it so herself that she would come back after Letizia had found a new replacement for her and that I am free to visit her anytime that I want.Even though I did not want her to leave, I was understanding enough to let her do as she wants because I believed her words. I thought she’s just leaving temporarily to help her family and I believed it when she said that she’s going to come back after their family business had stabilized and her sister wouldn’t need her help anymore.I thought everything was fine between us when she left. I did not know that she was hiding grudges from me. I did not know thLUCREZIAPietro fell speechless upon hearing my words. I want love, but it was love that he couldn’t give. Seeing how he fell silent upon my question, I no longer felt disappointed and hurt as I did before.I was expecting to be hurt by his words again, but when I felt nothing, I felt proud for myself for turning into someone this strong.I feel proud of myself for this time, I no longer expect love from him and I am strong enough to be able to handle that reality.No one knows how long it took me to reach this level of maturity where I no longer care if Pietro loves me or not, where I no longer need to have Pietro in my life.After so many years I had finally accepted that Pietro will never love me, he is not capable of loving me and that there is more to life than him. I shouldn’t be forcing myself on him and my life shouldn’t be circling around him.Now that I had reached the level of acceptance, I could finally let go of Pietro a
LUCREZIAI stared at Pietro with surprise fleeting in my eyes when my mind had finally processed his sudden confession.“Y-you love me?” I asked, my voice weak and stuttering feeling like I was living in a dream. Hearing Pietro say that he loves me was a dream that I thought would never come true. “Yes, Lucrezia. I love you. I always had.” Pietro spoke with all his heart. I stared deep into his eyes staring at the pool of sincerity in the depths of his irises. My heart turned erratic inside my chest and my breaths turned faster as tears sprang up my eyes. “I love you more than my heart and mind could comprehend. I love you more than I could realize. I love you so much that I couldn’t breathe at the thought of losing you.I know I am a jerk for lying to you and not showing you how much I love you. I do not deserve to be with someone like you, but I beg of you…Please do not leave me. Don’t demand me to let you go.” Pietro spoke in a broken voice. Hearing the pain in his voice als
PIETROEven though the secret that Pietro is going to tell Lucrezia holds value on his head, the simple statement that Lucrezia told him is enough for him to convince that his secret would be safe with her forever and that she would never think of using it as blackmailing him or in any way that could go against him.Even though telling his secret to her would mean placing his life in the balance of her hand, just hearing the sincere words escape his lips is enough to assure him.Right now their future hangs into balance.Whether Lucrezia will choose to abandon him or not after learning about his past, it would be all up to her and Pietro will just have to respect whatever her reaction would be.Upon hearing the importance of Pietro’s secret is to his life, she felt even more grateful and felt that Pietro is finally taking a huge step to trusting her.She would forever value the trust that he had shown her.&nbs
PIETRO/ANDREIAndrei’s father is doomed, unless he brings out money and pay the man in front of him he could come out of this alive. Paying what he owes is the only way for him to live. However, everyone knows how impossible that is.The men in front of him will never hesitate to kill him if he fails to bring them the money. Its seems that Andre’s father is going to die today.Andrei doesn’t know what to feel about that. Since his father had been abusive to him, with his father dead, there would be no one out there to hurt him anymore.However, if his father died, that would leave him fatherless.“Come on guys, you have to meet me halfway here. I don’t have any money right now. Even if you go inside my house and check, you won’t find anything.” Andrei’s father explained as he opens his door wide showing them the inside of his house.The men’s eyes landed on the little kid watching
PIETRO/ANDREIPietro will never forget the first time he met the Don of the Carusso crime family, the person who forever changed his life.When Andrei was born, he thought he knew what his future would be after he was born out of a poor but loving family.You see, Andrei’s abusive father hasn’t always been like that. He wasn’t abusive, he wasn’t an alcoholic and he was definitely not a type of man who would hurt anyone physically.Andrei’s life was peaceful and perfect until his father was introduced to illegal gambling where he instantly fell addicted too.When Andrei’s father felt what it’s like to win money so easily, he gained an uncontrollable desire to gamble again and again in hopes of satiating that desire of his to see his money grow double or triple and hopefully help his family and pull themselves out of poverty.However, as Andrei’s father got more addicted to ga
LUCREZIAI couldn’t believe my ears when Pietro, or should I say Andrei, finally opened up to me about his past. I could see the pain flash in his eyes as he reminisced his childhood memories, during the time when he was still called Andrei Cavalieri.Seeing how being vocal about his real identity brought out unwanted emotions in him made me feel bad in forcing him to tell me everything, placing him in the uncomfortable position that he is in.I could see that Andrei Cavalieri was a dark past, something that he wanted to forget. I would never have thought that all this time, Pietro wasn’t really who I think he was. Who would have suspect that Pietro Carusso doesn’t have the Carusso blood running in him, that he was just adopted into the family?Even I couldn’t believe what I heard right now. If the situation wasn’t serious, I would have think that Pietro is lying to me, that instead of telling me his true secret,
LUCREZIAI woke up naked under the bedsheets with Pietro sleeping naked behind me. For the first time, I woke up earlier than him.I rolled on my stomach and raked my hand across his soft silky hair. I was careful, not wanting to wake him up from his peaceful sleep.I want to be able to stare at his peaceful face much longer, memorizing ever detail and just admiring how he is beautifully and wonderfully made.Yesterday, we just shared a wonderful time together. Who would have ever thought that we will consummate our wedding on the day I asked him for divorce.After everything was out between us, I finally broke the tall walls Pietro built to guard his heart. He finally fully welcomed me into his life and into his heart.I blushed as I thought of the things we shared together. I’m still over the moon to finally have Pietro’s heart.Pietro’s brows furrowed and he slowly stirred underneath me when he w
LUCREZIAI bit my lip and hug my knees, my back resting on the headrest as worry consumed over me.Pietro doesn’t want me to get pregnant. He doesn’t want to have a baby with me.How am I supposed to tell him that I want to have children of my own? How am I supposed to convince him that having children is a blessing to a family?As a woman who always wanted to take the married path, I always dreamed of having children of my own, to take care of little babies who looked like me or who looked like my husband.I always fancied raising kids of my own and having a huge family of my own.I haven’t realized that Pietro doesn’t want the same thing as me.I placed my chin on top of my knee as I thought of what I should do. After all, Pietro and I haven’t even talked to each other about our opinions and plans on having children.I just had to hear his side and let him know that I want children. Maybe once he finds o
