The sound of the shower running infiltrated the washroom. The steam rising and dispersing throughout the space with the sound of music accompanying the pitter-patter of the water droplets. Serafina allowed the pressured water to wash over her, her tresses clinging to her as the glass of the shower cabin became even more opaque than it already was.With the mixture of water and music, she never heard the door open, much less did she notice the presence of the person enter as she was too busy washing her hair, running her fingers through her tresses. The sound of the shower cabin door opening had her jump in surprise, turning around
Hidden Away Chapter I: New School
A young girl with raven black hair and piercing blue eyes stood before her vanity mirror, growing increasingly frustrated as she fumbled with her tresses. With a groan of irritation, she let her hands fall to her sides, staring at her reflection.Today was a new day at a new school.A mafia-exclusive school to be exact and here she was, attempting to look presentable. It took her a lot to convince her father to allow her twin brother and her to be s
Hidden Away Chapter II: Bullet Wound
"Let's see how stealthy you are," Salvatore taunted at 1 a.m. at night."What do you mean by that?""Mom and dad are asleep," Her twin brother grinned as Serafina yawned sleepily, having been awoken to entertain her brother's whims. "Dad keeps a gun in his bedside table. You will sneak into the room and take the gun, and we'll go to the shooting range for a little practice,"

Being their father, Arcangelo was very well aware of what his children cherished and valued most. For his only daughter, it was the simple taste of freedom; and act which she achieved by ordering her guards to remain in their positions. Meanwhile, his second son treasured his mode of entertainment and his freedom which he got from his electronic devices – phone, laptop, X-box, books, music, etc. – and his freedom from driving whatever car he willed.Now in order to teach them a lesson, their father had no choice but to take it all away and ground them for a month.
Hidden Away Chapter IV: Cookies
The twins had tolerated a week of their punishment and were already begging for an end to it.For the last week, the twins found nothing better to do than interacting with the people present. Their routine had changed substantially to allow time for everyone. The twins often found themselves in their parent's bedroom after they had finished their homework, talking with one another, with Marco, or their parents, and often after dinner, they would have a family debate, Arsenio sometimes coming by to take part in them.
Hidden Away Chapter V: Anniversary
Serafina found herself embraced in a different sort of warmth, one that didn't feel too much in this June season, but one that was comforting and familiar. She tried to shift onto her back, her movements met my a restraint as she peeked open her eyes, blinking away the blurriness before inhaling sharply at the sight of the tuft of brown hair.The memories of last night came surfacing back to her, her cheeks flushing red at Paolo's words before he fell asleep."I'll marry you someday, Serafina"
Hidden Away Chapter VI: Little Brother
Serafina had been trying her level hardest to avoid Paolo as much as possible, having her twin brother occupy him as she saw in her parent's bedroom, hiding. In the morning when she had arrived in their bedroom, her parents looked at her in confusion as they were getting ready, watching her get under their covers and rest her head on the pillow. Her mother had checked her temperature to see if she was sick but frowned when she was perfectly fine.She didn't provide any explanations and they didn't prod, so placing a kiss on her forehead, they both left.

Salvatore's sling was off.To say he was overjoyed was an understatement. He was euphoric.The day he had returned with Arcangelo without that torturous device restricting his movements, he had resembled a child on Christmas morning.
