Castillo waited by the VIP entrance for Gianni. He looked at his watch as the limo pulled up, the tall male in a dark suit opened the door. A tall dark haired, dark eyed Italian make slipped out the door closed and he walked over to Costello. ‘“Gianni glad you could make it.” He said, holding out his hand.   “Castillo long time no see.” He said, shaking his hand bringing him in for a hug. “My apologise for my lateness. Damn fucking English traffic. Fucking road works, we got diverted.”   “No probs you're here now.”   They dropped hands. “So is she here?”   “They both are.”   “I can’t wait to see her.”   “Raven Lupo has taken to both of them. He’s been buying them drinks all night.”   “He’s here? I thought he was on tour.”   “He returns to Italy tomorrow, he’s passing through.”   Gianni nodded.

Alora, Liana, Castillo and Gianni all left the mansion in Italy to go to the very exclusive event, they had no idea how exclusive it was. It was full of rich people they thought it was an ordinary concert, how wrong could they have been? It was held held in the colosseum in Rome.  They’d never seen so much beauty, they’d planned on coming here next summer. Why has Raven invited them? They weren’t rich and they certainly were nothing like the people here.  They were high class and they looked a little scared by Gianni and she wasn’t sure why though everyone else knew.    The band came on stage near eleven and finished around two. The four of them made their way backstage showing their passes. The security opened the door to let them enter. They stepped in, the whole band was in the large room drinking and smoking what smelt like weed. Raven looked up . “Gianni.” He smiled pulling himself up. 

Alora had returned to university three months ago she was set to return to Italy after her last essay and exam was finished. She walked alone and she was meeting Liana soon. She walked across campus as she heard gun shots, students ran screaming, saying there were men shooting randomly at the campus shouting out some girls name and if she didn’t go to them they’d kill everyone on campus.       She swallowed nothing like  this usually happens. It’s usually so quiet, but not today she wondered who they were after as she got to the edge of the campus. The shots got louder, many of the students were bleeding, some were dead. Her heart raced, the car skidded and the door opened. “Get in.”   She didn’t hessite she slid into the car closing the door. The tyres screeched as the car sped away causing her to fall on something hard. She looked up and he smiled. “Raven.”   “Don’t worry you’re pretty head is safe.

    Alora went to  step out of the room, after hearing giggles come from the room opposite. Gianni hadn’t returned to their bed last night. Now she knew why as she watched both of them, a sinking feeling rose in the pit of her stomach. He was kissing another girl in the home that they shared. Tears fell off her face and she was vexed. "You okay Alora?" "Peachy." She said closing the door.  Raven looked at her as if to say that’s shit and you know it.  He watched as she twisted her ring. Something was wrong. The front door closed and she was gone without saying a word. Gianni closed the door, he looked at her and her face was angered. "Alora I can explain."

THREE YEARS LATER   Alora adjusted her eyes in the dim light she’d gone out with her friends from her office. Her and Lorenzo had finally settled down after moving place to place for the last three years thinking the dust had settled and she’d been forgotten about. His eyes glowed darkly in hers. "Do you really think we would’ve forgotten about you Alora?" She sat nervously where the hell was she and who the he’ll was taking to her.  "Your brother is in so much trouble Alora." "Leave him out of this. He was only trying to help me." "Lucky it’s us  that found you. And not Bianchi." "Raven?" He smiled evilly. "Gianni was pissed when you filed for divorce." "I don’t give a flying fuck. He lied to me, he promised me he would never cheat on me and he did." "He was angry at you Alora." "It was no excuse to shag a whore behind my back?" "You let Luca screw you, tit for tat Alora."
