I'm posting short Chapters, I know. I posted two:) chapter 25 & 26. And so you know, I do know these chapters are shit. I'm struggling so hard to make them perfect. I can't think of anything to write
•••
I had just dropped Amora off at home. Some part of me keeps telling me it's my fault she left early.
I lock my car and enter my house. "Don't worry I didn't burn shit!" I hear Domenico yell out.
I playfully scoff before walking into the kitchen. "Why did Amora want to leave so bad? Did I do something?!" Dom says in a panic.
"I don't think either of us did anything. Amora didn't give me a valid reason." I tell him.
"Did you tell her?" Dom asks me, making me stop my tracks.
"No," I say simply. This topic has come across multiple times.
"You should." He says. Domenico could tell I'm getting annoyed with his stupid comments.
Domenico puts his hands up in defence, "I'm just saying I personally feel, You should tell her that you're in the Mafia." He says. "Before she hears it from someone else..." he adds on.
"Are you planning on telling her?" I snap at him.
"What- no! I never said I was." Domenico says in defence.
"Other than my family you're the only one who knows," I say. "I know for a fact Sofia wouldn't dare to say shit," I add on.
"Luca," Domenico says. "He'll do anything
to-"
"that's enough." I cut him off. I sigh. "I'll tell her after she comes home from her dinner with Sam's family," I say.
I have to. Rather than admitting he's right. And rather than using the words 'you're right', I'll just jump from one point to another or some shit.
Honestly, I would rather die than admit to being wrong.
"well I'm gonna be on my way. I'll see you in the office in a few hours." Domenico says, getting up from the barstools. "Lorenzo," Domenico says, catching my attention.
"I'm going to ask you something. Will you be honest with me?" Dom asks.
"I'm not agreeing to anything," I mutter.
Domenico chuckles, "Do you like Amora? I mean in a non-friendship way." Domenico asks me.
I stay silent. "I'll take that as a yes." He mumbles before walking off.
Even if I did like her,
I'd just be putting her life in danger.
I can't take that risk.

I spent almost the whole day at the office with Domenico trying to figure out a perfect plan for the Americans.
There's more of us on this mafia team. But as per protection, they're in Italy. Domenico is the only one who came along with me other than my siblings.
'How to tell if someone self-harms'
is what I had searched up on my computer. I've searched it up a couple of times but never really went onto any websites.
I kept telling myself that Amora wouldn't do such a thing.
Although I did find myself in between researching to make sure. I know I shouldn't be thinking things like this about Amora, but my mind just keeps going back to those cuts she has all over her arm.
She wouldn't do that yourself right?
I mean what would you get out of hurting yourself?
I keep thinking random questions every second of the day ever since I saw those cuts on her arms. Dom starts to pack up all the reports he stole for our well-doing.
"You're going to talk to Amora right?" Domenico makes sure. I take a deep breath,
"yeah. I'm going to go home first and then head over to Amora's place." I tell him.
"You better tell her. It will be better if she hears it from you rather than someone else." Domenico says again.
"Hmm." I hum.
Soon enough Domenico leaves. After a while, I decided I should head home for a shower before heading over to Amora's house.
Honestly, I just took a quick simple shower. Nothing more different than usual. I use my towel and dry my hair off. Soon enough I throw the towel onto my bed and I grab my wallet from the nightstand.
As for my phone and my car keys. I sigh out before leaving the house. I reverse out of the driveway, speed through semi-empty roads to get to Amora faster.
I park my car on the other side of the road because I noticed a car already on Amora's driveway.
Yes, I could have parked next to it, but why would I?
"I'm sorry Amora, I felt a moment coming on," Kai says out loud.
A moment?
What moment?
Did he try to kiss her?
"A moment? you felt a moment?! Okay, are you stupid! What moment?" Amora snaps at him.
Why is she so angry?
I've never seen Amora losing her cool this much.
"Stay away from me. I'm seeing somebody. And I truly like him." She says right after.
She... likes me?
"Yeah, yeah I got it fucking Lorenzo." Kai says, fucking hell what is going on,
"Yeah, you're right." I say from behind him. Kai freezes for a quick moment.
"Lorenzo. What are you doing here?" Amora asks me as she's truly confused.
"Kai. I think you should leave." I warn him. I take a few steps so I'm now standing behind Amora.
Kai laughs. "Really Amora? Him. Why him?" Kai says.
"Kai, you should really leave before you get hurt." Amora tries to tell him.
"I'm not leaving." He snaps.
"Listen, kid. I think you should." I tell him.
He rolls his eyes, "you know what. Sam was right, Amora. It's so obvious he's using you." Kai snaps.
Amora puts on a confused face. "Sam?" She questions. "Sam told you he's using me?" She adds on.
Amora seemed shocked as if she just couldn't take the new information in. "But shes the one who encouraged me to go for it." Amora mumbles.
"Kai. Leave. Now." I demand.
He crosses his arms, "fuck no." He replies. "If I'm leaving I'm taking Amora with me." He says as goes on to grab Amora by the arm.
I push him back slightly and grab his collar. "Try to touch her again, and I'll make sure you won't be able to see the day of light again," I warn.
And just as I was about to punch the living shit out of him, Amora grabs my arm and pulls me in. She puts her hands on my face, making me glace at her.
"Don't. Please." She says.
But I really really want to fucking kill this dude.
If he was nothing for Amora I would've done it days ago.
"Stop it." She says to him. Amora turns around to her front door, I hear Kai scoff off.
"If he ever betrays you, Amora. Or she proves me and Sam right-"
"go throw your fucking disgusting threats at somebody else." I tell him, cutting Kai off.
