Nessa Sims ~•~ After I woke up from my nap, I realized Vito had already left the room. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to take a shower. I hoped he would still be around and would be back by the time I got out of the shower. But he wasn’t still back by the time I was done. I was dressing up when I saw a note on top of the drawer. [I had some business to take care of and didn’t want to disturb your sleep. A driver is waiting for you in the driveway, whenever you’re ready to go home.] I finished dressing up, picked up my bag, and folded the note into it. I arranged my hair and left the room. I took the elevator to the reception. I noticed the new girl was staring at me weirdly as I walked to the entrance. I decided to ignore it and went straight to the car. I got home and the whole compound was unusually empty. There was barely any security. Just the gatekeeper, the doorman, and the other two men that came with me from the hotel. As I entered, Tremani greeted me warmly

Nessa Sims ~•~ The last week was nice and easygoing. Everything was peaceful and I had lots of fun with Ellie and Liam. It was finally my favorite time of the year. I always looked forward to Christmas every year. It was the one time I found any means to make myself happy even if the year was shitty. I couldn’t stop talking about how much I loved Christmas, so Vito suggested we decorate the house and go Christmas shopping. I woke up really early that morning because it was going to be a long day. We also had an end-of-year party Vito was hosting at his hotel in the evening. Vito already ordered the Christmas tree. He said he never really celebrated the holiday and just hung out with Damon and their other friends. He had never had a Christmas tree at his house before. I went to the bathroom and took a long warm shower. It was a cold season and I needed to grab any opportunity I saw to be warm.The shower was soothing, I dried myself, wrapping myself in my fluffy towel and breathi

Vito Giancana~•~I was busy hosting the party and exchanging pleasantries with the guests. I didn’t mean to leave Nessa alone but I didn’t have any choice. I still checked up on her from time to time to make sure she was okay. When I saw she was with Damon and Ariana, I decided to focus fully on the party. After a while, I checked where they all sat to see if she was okay but I only saw Damon and Ariana. I went over to ask about Nessa. “Where’s Nessa?” I asked Damon, my eyes fixed on her empty seat. “Oh, I think she went outside to take a call.” He responded. It was probably her mum or Ellie calling her, so I just went back to see that the party went on smoothly. It was getting dark and the event was getting to an end but I hadn’t still seen Nessa. I went back to ask Damon but he said she didn’t return. Her bag was still on the table. I became worried but I decided to stay calm. I went outside to look for her but I couldn’t find her. What if she had left to meet her son or her

Nessa Sims ~•~I was disappointed. I wouldn’t lie my mum was a pain in the ass, but I felt we had made progress yet she was still being difficult. She couldn’t wait to hear if I had an explanation or something. I took a deep breath before calling her number again. “When are you ever going to change?” I asked angrily as she picked up the call. “I’m not the one who abandoned my child during the holiday.” She gave me a snide reply. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. You didn’t even care to ask why I didn’t show up or didn’t pick up my calls.” I snapped. “Do not raise your voice when speaking to me, Vanessa.” She hissed. I was still weak from everything that had happened. I didn’t have the energy to continue arguing with her. “Please put Liam on the phone, I need to speak with him.” She scoffed. “Liam isn’t here. He’s out having fun?” I gasped. I started to imagine the worst possible things. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to my son. “Fun? With who? You left my son

Nessa Sims~•~The new year started on a good note. Life was peaceful and free of drama. My arm had fully recovered. Everything was going smoothly and I was glad everyone was okay. My only resolution for the year was to be happy. Vito said he was taking me somewhere. He didn’t say where it was as it was supposed to be a surprise. I woke up late because last night had been hectic. We had gone for a New Year’s celebration that was hosted by Uncle Vincent, one of Vito’s associates. I stayed on the bed for some time before forcing myself to get up and get ready. I went to the shower. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander as the warm water ran over my body. I thought about the past year and how my life changed in the twinkle of an eye. I wondered how the new year would be. When I finished, I dried up and went to my closet to pick out an outfit. I had no idea where he was taking me to but he asked me to dress in a badass outfit. I skimmed through my closet searching for anything that w
