Someone from the past
LillieI arrive at the waiting room and see my sister sitting there. I approach her, hoping she doesn't notice that I've just had sex. According to Dante, it's obvious, but maybe he just said that to tease me."Alex," I call out as I approach her. "How's Mom?" I hug her.We exchange greetings as usual."She's a little better.""So, what was so urgent?""We need to take Mom abroad," she says, confusing me. I don't understand. "She's stable, but only for now. The operation was successful, but the tumor spread to another part of her body. The doctors here recommended other specialists, but they can only be found in Europe."All of this bewilders me. The optimism I had diminishes with this bad news. Knowing that my mother has relapsed into that cursed illness hurts, but I have to stay strong for her.My sister mentioned Europe. Italy is in that continent. Maybe Dante can help me; this way, I won't have to be separated from him every time he returns to his country."I know someone who can

LillieIn spite of everything, I don't want to leave. I have almost a life here. It is difficult to adapt to a different environment, especially in another country.- Mother, I can't, you know well that I have a life here, and it's not that I wouldn't want to leave everything for you, you know I would, but I can't do it now. I still have a month to finish the semester. I can't ask for a transfer, they wouldn't grant it to me," I argue quickly. I want you to know why I can't leave, not just because of that.- I know. This will take a little longer. Give yourself time to finish the semester and process the transfer. I've already talked to your sister about it. If I have to leave a little earlier, Lionel..."She looks at him briefly. It's like he's not really there, but he's still present, just silently staring at infinity through the window. However, when my mother mentions his name, his attention turns to us. "He told me that he will leave someone in charge to accompany him if it is nec

LillieI wake up to the sound of my cellphone. I reach out for the bedside table, grope around, and answer the call without checking who it is. I've just opened my eyes."Hello?""Good morning, my sleeping beauty." Dante's voice sounds through the speaker. I sit up quickly and widen my eyes. "Did I wake you?"Oh, how embarrassing, he must think I'm lazy.I glance at the clock on my nightstand; it's nine in the morning."No, I was already awake," I try not to sound groggy. "Is something wrong?" I want to hide the excitement in my voice."I just wanted to hear your voice and check on how you're doing. I don't have much time. And I shouldn't call you on just any phone."I don't understand why he can't call me on any phone or cell, but since he's short on time, I won't ask right now. I'll take this chance to hear his voice, which always makes me nervous whenever he speaks. I hear him saying sweet or provocative things to me, as he likes to do."So, you can't even send me a message?" I nee
A Decision Part 1
DanteI keep listening as he mentions something I sent over. I sent Franco to deliver a few things I bought for him a few days ago, but I decided not to give them to him earlier. I was a bit confused during that time as well. Since then, she triggers so many extreme emotions in me. Something very out of the ordinary. Something I've never felt before. Actually, I didn't know what it meant to feel. The only thing I ever felt was how my penis got excited by any woman. However, that changed too; none of them arouses me anymore, only my fierce emerald-eyed girl. She's the only one. She owns my member and everything of mine, supposedly everything.Damn it, I'm an asshole because I want to have her with me always. I don't know if I can provide her a life she deserves, but I'm still willing to take the risk, to make her mine. However, this time it won't be just one night, but every night of our lives.I'm considering bringing her to live with me and proposing to her. I know it sounds absurd.
A Decision Part 2
DanteThey, mainly Ivan, are the only family I have. I share everything with them, even went as far as sharing women, but this time I won't make that possible. I've decided to make her my wife, and no one will be able to touch her for any purpose. She's forbidden to anyone but me.She's only mine."So, what does our little boss want now?" Leo jokes. I grumble annoyed at the 'little boss' remark. He approaches me and pats my shoulder in greeting. I hadn't seen them in weeks. "What's so important?" He takes a seat next to Enzo."Yeah, what's it about? A confrontation? Do we need to kill someone?" Enzo asks excitedly."I think it's not about that," Ivan comments. He goes to the drinks bar and pours another type of whisky into a glass. "He was telling me that it's about his little wildcat." He turns to look at us.He knows what I call her. I coined that nickname among them. She's not aware of it. However, I don't like them referring to her in that way or any other joking manner. They need
It's not in my plans Part 1
Dante"Dante," Ivan says. We're alone in the same room now. "I want to fill you in on something. Based on how relaxed and calm you look; I doubt you're already aware of it."What's he referring to? I just hope it's not something related to that damn Bachman."What's going on?" I rest my arms on my legs and fix my gaze on him, sitting on the other couch. "Spill it. You know I don't like suspense, especially not tasteless surprises."He sighs deeply and looks at me."A few days ago, I went to the bar. Filippo," he refers to the owner, "told me that Tamara is pregnant."I don't know why he's telling me this. What that bitch does or what happens to her matters very little to me."And how is that my concern?" I ask him, though I wanted it to sound like a statement. "What she does with her life is none of my damn business.""I don't know, I thought maybe you'd want to know.""And why should I? I only fucked her a few times," I mutter. "You know she never meant anything to me other than a qu
It's not in my plans Part 2
DanteI have no intention of bringing one into the world and risking it. I don't want them to live in my hell and inherit the same fate that befell me.Those are my fears. Maybe deep down, very deep down, I do want an heir, a lion, or, as Ivan says, a little devil. Someone who carries my blood. And who better than a child of my beautiful wildcat? Nevertheless, I've already decided not to have any. Being a father is not in my plans, neither in the future nor ever. I don't want to take the risk of her getting pregnant. That's why I need to talk to her and come to an agreement on this matter. She'll keep taking something. I don't know, maybe I'll take her to a doctor or something, so we can continue to have a satisfying and worry-free sexual life.The days passed, and the day came for the trip to Morocco. Ivan won't be joining me, only Enzo, Franco, and his men. Ivan insisted he should go, but I told him I needed him more in Italy and New York. Leo will stay in Italy, arranging some ship
Welcome party
DanteI stand in front of the mirror as I finish getting dressed. Black dress pants and a shirt, no tie, with the top buttons unbuttoned. I rarely like wearing anything around my neck except for my white gold chain, which my mother gave me when I turned fifteen. It holds a wing pendant similar to my tattoo, only with two wings. Behind them is written in Italian, "Sempre con te" (Always with you). She had said those wings were mine, that the phrase was so I would always know she'd be with me, protecting me, that I'd need them when I was ready to fly. In a way, she was right. I needed those wings a lot when I lost them. They were what I held onto. Her words are etched deeply into my memories. However, what wasn't true was that she'd always be with me. When I was much younger, I believed everything, but I never thought I could lose them, that some damn people would snatch their lives away and take them from my life.It's a loss and pain that I can't overcome and heal from. My nightmares
