Paolo had been over the moon with his joy.
Ricardo was getting better and everything seemed to pick up from there. Paolo's dad was finally home and his son couldn't have been any happier to have his father back as healthy as a horse. He had been spending a lot of time with Salvatore when he wasn't with Ricardo, and Serafina tried not to let it bother him knowing that there were certain things he was more comfortable with sharing with Salvatore.
She
A year had passed since Ricardo's passing, and things were settling down now. However, Paolo was expected to take over his Mafia soon, but he ordered his father's second-in-command to handle it until he finished his education – granted that nothing was to happen without his approval.Serafina had been sitting at her desk, trying to get her homework done, but instead was daydreaming of how her boyfriend would be like as a Mafia Boss. Handsome, no doubt. Firm and determined as a Mafia Boss should be. She wouldn't mind if he was a little intimidating, granted he wouldn't scare her given she was the daughter of the world's most h
7 years later"No, no, no!" A feminine voice exclaimed in agitation to the men setting up the decoration around the venue. "It's meant to go there! There! Jesus Christ,""What about this, ma'am?" One of the men asked, holding a large vase of flowers before him."On either side of the altar," She instructed
Serafina scrubbed at her arms with trembling fingers, whimpering when the blood wouldn't get off and the stench embraced her mind, her tears blurring her vision. Her heart thundered against her ribcage, feeling as if though it would jump out of her chest and forcing her breaths to come in short pants. Heat enveloped her body, but her hand and feet were ice cold. Suddenly her throat tightened as she gasped for breath, clutching at her neck to pry off the non-existent hold and her mouth ran dry.The washroom began to spin around her as her stomach clenched in fear at seeing her white dress turning into a murky crimson-brown and her m
Serafina was scared to turn in bed and find Paolo lying beside her, and due to that constant fear, her body couldn't keep down her food. But she knew she had to eat something, she just couldn’t get it past her throat. Nowadays she didn't want to do anything other than sleep and even she knew that it wasn't healthy.Alessio had been trying to get her to ear, and in her mind, she always explained why she couldn't, but his response always made him realize she hadn't spoken aloud.
His new starvation technique had Serafina eating. She didn't eat as much as she used to, but at least she got something down. Initially, Alessio made light things for her like soups and such, slowly nursing her back to health and letting Salvatore know she was getting better. The older twin had once asked to speak to her and Serafina had told him about what she felt was wrong, and that maybe she needed a trauma council."I could have one arranged for you here for when you're back, or should I look for one in Brazil," He inquired after being brought to speed with her emotional turmoil. "It's situational depression and trauma, what d
Serafina awoke alone in bed, moaning as she stretched across space like a cat, before sighing in content. They had been here almost a month now and Serafina felt a lot better than when she had arrived. Smiling some even laughing at Alessio, she even resumed calling him by his nickname: 'cupcake'. Since most nights she woke in fear, she had Alessio sleep beside her, that way she felt safe and he got to sleep in something that wouldn't cause his back to break.Rolling out of bed, Serafina pattered across the floor, washing her face and putting her hair into a messy bun before making her way downstairs in a pink cotton bra and pink, t
"That's everything," Serafina sighed zipping up her bag and stood from her place. "Are you done with your packing?""Yup," Alessio nodded, sitting cross-legged on the bed as he watched her move around the room in a silk nightgown before she lay down on her stomach beside him.The two had been in Brazil for 2 months, and halfway through their trip, they had started a little affair which had been going on for almost a month now. However, they were exp
"Just this one exception, huh," Serafina moaned into his mouth breathlessly, groaning when he tugged at her hair."You're the one who called me," Alessio grunted in an effort, sweat beading their foreheads as the soft sound of skin slapping against skin infiltrated the room.
