LOGINChapter 152*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*| 2-3 months |I am about to fall asleep when a scream echoes downstairs.At first I try to ignore it, thinking it's just one of those who are lodging in the hostel. But it's late at night, why would someone be screaming that much?Before I can think of an answer to that, another scream follows afterwards.My eyes flies open, my body trembling naturally due to fear. “What… What is going on?”A loud crash follows after, the sound of glass shattering accompanying it.I'm sitting upright before I realize what is happening. Heavy footsteps makes their way through the hallway.Then I hear a harsh voice. “Everybody on the floor!”Another voice barks orders I can't understand. Then, a gunshot gets me to stay still completely.My entire body freezes, my heartbeat making sounds all the way to my ears.I stand up from the bed, panic overwhelming me.All I can think of is my baby. I can't jump down through the window, it's too high. If I try, I might
Chapter 151••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••My gaze rests on the map spread across the table, with various cities circled in red. The ones we've searched and couldn't find her. Every lead we have chased over the past month has ended the same way.And it fucking infuriates me. It's driving me crazy.I have not gotten any hints that proves she was taken by anyone. Even though I can't be so sure. If she wasn't taken… then that means she disappeared on her own.She left without considering ‘us.’That's the part that refuses to make sense to me.My phone vibrates, dragging me from my current thoughts.I ignore it, my head on one person.Then it buzzes again, and again for the third time.Only one person would keep calling even after being ignored.Releasing a heavy sigh, I lift the phone to my ear, not before sliding to answer, “What?”A cheerful voice comes through the speaker. “Good morning to you too.” I nearly roll my eyes. “You know you can at least pretend you missed me or pretend yo
Chapter 150*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°* | 1-2 Months |“Father, I must confess.” My lips part, dispelling a deep sigh. The heavy burden crushes my chest and I am afraid that the longer I keep it within me is me taking the risk of my chest exploding any time soon.I lift my dress a bit as an aid to kneel comfortably in the confessional booth, bringing my hands together seeking repentance.My gaze lingers on Father, watching him behind the screen, even though I can't see him clearly. “Very well then, let's begin.” He makes the sign of the cross as I follow his movements. “May you receive strength to say what bothers you so much.”“Amen,” I finish, kissing my hand.His voice is deeply pensive as he asks, “So what brings you here, sister?”My thumb runs over the other, trying to be respectful as I can while being truthful. “I have been having some forbidden thoughts.”“What kind of forbidden thoughts?”Instantly, my skin feels flushed and burning with embarrassment. How can my tongu
Chapter 149 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* 2 Weeks Pregnant | Location: Chicago, Illinois | I have never held something so expensive before. Even touching the card makes me nervous. Regardless of my hiked up nerves, I approach the counter with hesitant steps, while looking over my shoulder to check if someone recognizes me. Although I'm well aware of the scarf covering my face, I still find myself cautious of everyone that walks past me. I don't want to be found by the convent or by… him. He hurt me more than anyone has. I'm sure by now he is happily married to Gemma and they must be anticipating their baby soon. My eyes grows heavy at that thought. It's for the best. Now I'll be out of their lives for good. No more ruining other people's happiness. I was never meant to be happy anyway. The young woman behind the counter smiles warmly. “Good morning. How can I help you?” I hold the scarf to my face, shielding it from her view. “I… I would like to make a withdrawal.” “Of
Chapter 148••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••No one speaks.We all stare at the security feed like this is some arranged cinematic movie. My eyes narrows on the bottles littered everywhere in my cabin.Another evidence to prove just how drunk I was. Marco clicks on a different tab, not stopping until he hits fast-forward. Even then, no one says anything.Gemma pops up on the screen, time of arrival stamped just right there at the corner. It wasn't Elizabeth. She never came that night.I was out of my fucking mind to think so. We watch as she knocks and I open the door for her.It's not what we're looking for, so Marco increases the speed by 2x. He doesn't stop until it gets to the point where I start walking down to my room.That's when my interest heightens. The part I need to know.Something riles up within me when I see how helpless I look, watching closely as I fall to the bed.There's no sign of Gemma yet. Minutes later, she's standing by the door but I look too weak to get up and
Chapter 147••~••°••~••Luciano••~••°••~••Another name for this wedding? I'll spell it out— A F-U-C-K-I-N-G F-U-N-E-R-A-L.And somehow I'm invited, even though this is the last fucking place I want to be.The door opens and I don't turn to know who it is. Because I already do.Alessandro enters first, and everyone else follows.Marco leans lazily against the wall with a tablet tucked beneath his arm, looking far too relaxed for the tension in the room. Sergei takes the seat nearest to the window and Nicholas stays by the door, trying to look like this is just one of those normal days.No one speaks up at first. But Alessandro breaks the silence by asking the one question I expected he would. “So, is it true?”“I woke up beside her.”Alessandro rubs his face. “That's not exactly what I asked.”My jaw spasms so hard I expected my teeth on the floor, “I don't remember enough to tell you exactly what happened.”Alessandro’s expression stinks of indifference, like my answer is just me t
Chapter 71 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• Fuck. There are three rules I live by. One: Always trust your instincts, no matter the situation. Secondly, don't make stupid mistakes that will get you killed. And lastly—never, ever, get yourself an addiction—a weakness, because it'll only serve as
Chapter 67 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• I grip her ass and hoist her up into my arms. Her legs part and wrap around me as her center presses against my throbbing cock. She is still kissing me while I return the kiss with the exact same fervour as I blindly kick the door open, walking us into
Chapter 66*~°*~°*~°*Elizabeth*~°*~°*~°*I'm holding my breath when I step into his cabin. We haven't said anything to each other since what happened at the garden. The only time he spoke to me was when he wanted me to know where we were going. And when he told me he was taking me back to the cab
Chapter 68 *~°*~°*~°* Elizabeth *~°*~°*~°* I have no idea what has come over me. When I saw Luciano's cock straining through his pants, curiosity took over me. I just wanted to feel, needed to know what it felt like to have the upper hand too. I want to know what it feels like to have a cock do
