2024-10-29 19:42:56These last two days went like a blur for Bianca. Emergency flight to Italy, uncontrollable tears, her, continuously wishing this was all a dream, her friends trying their hardest to comfort her, her, missing Matt and most of all, her dad, her, getting home and not finding her dad after frantically searching for him both in the huge house and the family warehouse, her, seeing her mom in a desolate state as melancholy was the order of the day.
she remembered her last conversation with her dad. tears cascaded down her cheeks as she reminisced.
it was the beginning of a new semester in her faculty and she'd face timed her dad
she thought of their conversation.
"hey" her dad said when he saw her. he looked busy but he went away from his capos and the others, to talk to her
"hi Dad" she smiled "sup"
"how's my sweet figlia doing?" he asked her
"I'm doing well, dad although it would have been good if you saw for yourself"
"I'll make out time someday, sweet"
"right" her bright countenance dropped
"Bianca---" he started when he noticed her expression
"you've said that dad, for two years now" she grumbled
"and I'll keep saying it until I make it work" her dad assured her
"when would that be, when I graduate? when I'm married?"
her dad laughed
"I'll never miss my figlia's wedding. you know I'll never do that to you, sweet "
"well, I don't know" she said "I might as well graduate before you come see me"
"don't worry about it," he said "just wait a little longer, I'm coming "
where was her dad now? he promised to come and see her? why hadn't he kept his promise? why couldn't he....
Bianca screamed.
"you must be hiding somewhere. this house is too big, maybe I didn't search thoroughly" she made her way into the house, upstairs to search in the rooms again.
"Bianca...." her Mom cried
"I'll go check" she said and she started going but she was grabbed from behind by June, a female soldier who worked for her mom
"leave me!" she screamed as she struggled against June's strength.
"Calm down", said June to her
she screamed all the more as she tried to disentangle herself from June
it happened in a flash. June pulled out a syringe and injected it's contents into her.
her loud screams began to quiet down.
" You're.... you're a bitch" she whispered to June after she figured that a sedative had been injected into her blood.
"you need to rest, Bianca" said June, stroking her cheek and wearing a wistful look "this was the only way"
"bitch...." Bianca whispered again as she felt her consciousness slip from her.

"Where is he?" Lorenzo barked at the soldiers who stood at the entrance, as he strode into the Sforza villa.
He abandoned his business, back where he stayed, to credible hands and took the first flight back to Italy. As he drove in through the gates, his heart remained outside his chest in worry, and he desperately wished he was being pranked by his madre.
"where is my father?"
the soldiers were all frightened. they didn't dare to utter a word. it made Lorenzo pissed, all the more.
"where is my father?" he yelled furiously
"your dad's body was delivered here yesterday afternoon", a soldier finally spoke. "Mrs Barbara's watching his body upstairs"
Lorenzo let out a humourless laughter. how dare the lowly soldier? he raised his fist and it connected with the soldiers cheek, the effect knocking the soldier down.
"what do you mean by 'his body'?" he grabbed the soldier's collar. "tell me what you mean by 'his body'. did you kill him?" a crazy Lorenzo accused, even as he knew how absurd his accusation sounded. "tell me!"
"Lorenzo!" someone shouted his name and he turned.
it was his mother.
"Madre" he called as he left the soldier's collar and ran to his mother.
"papà....?" he trailed off as his mother hugged him
she began to go upstairs and she beckoned him to follow her.
They arrived upstairs and got into the fourth room on the left row down the hallway.
he saw some of his dad's soldiers and capos standing by the sides of the bed. they all had their heads bowed down, some of them were weeping heavily.
On the bed lay someone covered from head to toe, with a cloth.
"who's that, mom?" he asked as he pointed towards the bed but the reply he got from his mother was a sob.
Seeing that she didn't want to answer him, he went towards the covered body. Each dreadful step he took, he prayed that the body wasn't his father's.
he finally reached the body and opened the clothe.
He saw his dad. Eyes closed, face pale and lip drained of blood. his dad had a deep wound on his forehead and he stared deeper, he figured it was a bullet wound.
No! he screamed mentally. This couldn't be Giovanni, his dad was a fighter, bullets couldn't hold him down.
he turned to the capos who stood around "this isn't Giovanni right? this is someone else. why would you guys bring someone else to our house?" he said to them, his voice raising in each syllable.
"Lorenzo...." his mother cried
"Dad?" he touched his dad's lifeless face. "your time has not come yet. I want you to wake up now. Prove to me that you're a fighter"
he waited a moment for his dad to make a slight movement but it didn't happen. Each passing second plunged him into hysteria. He shook his dad's body.
"Giovanni " he shouted. "Giovanni " he shook his dad harder
"Lorenzo!" his mother called him. "what are you guys waiting for" she said to the soldiers present.
the soldiers grabbed Lorenzo and took him away from the room.
"Let go!" he struggled against them. "I can wake him"
his shouts and struggles were futile because they kept on dragging him away from the body and into a room, where they locked him inside.

She ought to be showing more decorum, but his tongue moved the silk of her top against her nipple in delicate friction. The dampness of his mouth enclosed her in heat, sucking and inciting. She was lost, groaning with delight as he tortured her, licking and moving that damp fabric, squeezing the swell of her breast just enough to push more blood into the tip.She was going to climax from this alone, she thought, working her nails with agitation against his shirt, thinking she should stop this, but she was compelled to keep going because it felt so damned good.Her waistband released and his other hand slid in, confident and possessive, cupping soaked lace, saying something in Italian she didn’t have the wherewithal to interpret, but he sounded pleased. Like he was complimenting her. She absolutely flowered when he sounded so appreciative and admiring.He held his palm steady for her to grind herself into the heel of his hand.

She hadn’t known any kiss could feel like this. like a drug. like a craving. she swept her hands up and down his sides and around to his back, tracing the indent of his spine and urging him to crush her because his weight felt so good against her.“this is all I think about,” he growled against her cheek, thumbs circling and circling her distended nipples, sending runnels of heat and need deep into her loins.His knee barely suggested inserting itself between hers and she flowered open, accepting his hard thigh against her mound with a shaken gasp of gratitude.While the edge of his teeth stole down her neck and he sucked on her earlobe and swept his tickling caress across her breasts, all her focus drilled down to the bright, hot place where his hard thigh pinned itself to her pulsing flesh.She was moving against him, she realized. seeking those sharp, piercing bolts of pleasure. she was as shameless as she was mindless. her hands were clenched in his hair and she was arching and sh

Bennett painted kisses across her shoulders and she inhaled his fresh sun, sea, and hot-man scent, the heat from his body engulfing her. Her nipples puckered against the triangles of her top and she swallowed, noticing there was no moisture left in her mouth. He was plastered against her, and being in his bedroom—a beautifully decorated space dominated by this huge bed—felt incredibly intimate. She felt as if she belonged there, that being in his arms was where she needed to be.No, she was doing it again, reading more into a situation than there was. This was just sex and if she was going to become mushy, then she should roll away and put some distance between them until she regained a modicum of control.His hand settled over her breast and she knew she was fooling herself, she had no intention of applying the brakes to stop this runaway train. Her tongue twisted around his, and she arched her back to press her nipple into his palm. She was putty in his hands...Rachel murmured her

‘I can make you feel good, Rachel, better than before,’ he said. ‘Let me take you to bed, where I’ll make you forget all the chaos of the last few days and remind you of what it is to feel sexy. Feminine, powerful. Wanted beyond all meaning.’He saw the capitulation in her eyes, the need to be in his arms. He lifted one eyebrow. ‘Yes?’ he prompted.‘Yes.’Thank God and all his angels and arch angels.Picking up her hands, Bennett tugged her to him so that her lips were an inch from his. ‘Too much talking,’ he murmured. ‘Definitely not enough kissing.’‘I agree,’ she replied, her sweet breath fluttering against his lips.‘Slide your thigh over mine,’ he told her.‘Why?’ she asked but did as he requested.‘So that you’ll be more comfortable when I do this...’ he said before slanting his mouth over hers, tracing the seam of her lips with his tongue.She tasted like the woman he’d met before, as an awesome memory should.

He lifted her, dress riding up at the same time, and sat her on the cold marble of the table by the door.Before she could decide what she thought of that, he pushed her legs apart and stepped between them so they were eye to eye, mouth to mouth...Kissing again. Deeply. Unreservedly.The fine lace of her new Parisian panties snapped.She gasped and closed her teeth on his bottom lip, waiting... There. He touched her, stroking lightly, just a tantalizing caress that made her flesh pulse for more. After a long, breathless moment he easily deepened his caress into her slippery folds.Encouraging him with moans of pleasure, she inched forward and layered on openmouthed kisses, letting him know how good he was making her feel as he caressed her. Velvety waves of pleasure rolled outward from his touch, making her limbs weak and tingly, her core tight and eager.With clumsy fingers, she undid his shirt buttons, wanting to taste his skin.He took his hands off her long enough to yank his shi
