"You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it."

I couldn't sleep all night. I can't forget about Aurora's face, her tears, her anger and pain. And the worst thing is that I can't do anything about it. I can't help her because I would put her in an even greater danger. It burns me and it makes me feel terrible.

I felt Domenico kissing me and caressing my skin.

"Please you need to relax. I know how bad you feel, but we can't do anything. You never know, with the time they might fall in love with each other. Come on let's get ready."-he says and I go to the bathroom.

"Are sure you're going to be okay?"-he asks.

"Yes, I promise."-I say and smile just a little bit.

"Okay , go then. I love you."-he says.

_____________________________________

I started getting ready. I do my make up, eyeshadow and wear a light nude lipstick than l do my hairstyle in a low bun. It looked elegant and classy. I wear my Balmain dress and then my heels.

"Beautiful like Venus!"-Domenico says making me smile.

I get close to him and fix his tuxedo.

"Grazie amore mio, what would I do without you.."-he says smiling and then kisses me.

We get out from our hotel and go to the ceremony.

During the whole drive I felt bad, I couldn't watch Aurora in that condition. I feel like killing Salvatore. How can someone threaten their own blood?

"Come on, everything will be alright."-Domenico says encouraging me.

We get in the ceremony. And I had to admit that everything looked great. The place, the decorations, everything. There was a beautiful place and there were roses, white seats and curtains in nature. I guess there were very important people in here and I could tell that from their style and the place was surrounded with Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Pagani, Limos and plenty of other expensive cars.

I could see Dario Ret, the man Aurora was going to marry. I have met him on the ball Domenico organized a long time ago and he didn't seem like a bad person... Oh who am I kidding!. We are all bad here. We are mafia for Gods sake!

After that moment The music starts and Aurora comes in. She looked so beautiful, like an angel, so pure, but so cold on the inside. Even through the veil I could see her sad face. It made me feel horrible. I could tell that she was going to break down in every second. And all these people were looking at her without even noticing anything, or maybe they just didn't care.

She gets together with Dario and looks at me with her eyes asking for salvation. I start to cry, no one was noticing me. Domenico sees me and holds me in his arms, wiping my tears.

"Please don't do this, she is going to feel worse."-Domenico says holding me.

Then he kisses me and holds my cold hands.

There was one person who saw this scene. Salvatore Piemonti. He looked at us with a strange expression, an angry one, but he manages to change it.

______________________________________________

The ceremony ends and the ball starts.

"Hello Dianora."-Salvatore says.-"I hope you are enjoying the party."

"Yes, it is great. I suppose you are very happy about your daughters marriage."-I say faking a smile.

"Of course I'm very happy."-he says. I could kill him in that moment.-"Now we are waiting about your marriage. Signor Del Vecchio can you come with me? I need to talk to you about something corresponding to the business."

"Sure. I will be back in a minute."-Domenico says and they leave.

God, how can he be so false? Doesn't he care about his daughter? I can't believe him.

I need to go to the bathroom and fix myself, I probably look terrible.

As I walk into the house. I remembered I don't know where the bathroom is. I just keep walking down the hall hoping I find it.

Is there actually something going on between you and Gianvito's daughter?"-I hear Don Salvatore say.

"Why do you care?"-Domenico says.

"I gave you my help to get your revenge and be loyal to me, not so you can go fuck her and be in love. When I first saw you, you were young and full of range, hate. You wanted revenge and I thought that you were what I needed to kill my worst enemy. Look at you now, you are powerful, fearless and respected. This is all because of me, don't forget it."-Don Salvatore says.

I couldn't listen to this... He was the one who helped Domenico.. I knew that one of the families had to give permission to kill a mafia boss and Salvatore was that capo famiglia.

I try to be quiet and cry in silence so they wouldn't hear me.

"I know what you did and you don't have to mention it, you helped me kill Gianvito because it was in your interest..."-Domenico says and I start crying worse than before. It hurts listening to him talk like that. I can't stand it anymore.

I run away from that hall and get outside.

"Let's go!"-I say to the driver.

"Is signor Del Vecchio coming?"-the driver asks.

"No, he isn't coming now, go!"-I say.

__________________________________________________________

"In yours too."-Don Salvatore says.

He was asking me weather there was something between me and Dianora and I was starting to get sick and tired of him.

"Yes, Dianora is my woman now and there is nothing that can change that, not even you. I love her."-I say to him.

He just keeps laughing.""

"Well I guess there are, is you the one who don't see them. Probably because you killed your own son and forced your daughter to marry someone she doesn't want to."-I say raising my voice and his expression changes. He was mad.

"You shouldn't have said this."-he says.

Like I care. I get out smashing the door. I guess that means one thing... War.

______________________"_________________________

I couldn't believe this. It was all a facade. I wish he could've killed me better. This pain.. It feels... It feels worse than dying. I pack my suitcase and get ready to leave.

"Hey.... What are you doing?"-I hear Domenico say behind me.

I couldn't control them, my rage, fury, pain, tears.....

"I fell for you, I betrayed everyone because of you, even myself. I cared about you, I gave myself to you! Why did you do this?"-I scream crying.

"What are you talking about?"-he says trying to calm me down which makes everything worse.

"I heard your conversation with Salvatore. You played me. What did you thought? Killing my father wasn't enough ? You had to get with me to take a full revenge?"

"Did you even hear the full conversation?"-he asks.

"No, why would I? To feel worse? But I can imagine what you have said."-I say.

"No you don't, Dianora let me explain everything."-he says and tries to touch me.

Aware of the effects his touch has on me I step back:"No, don't you dare to touch me!"

"Okay, Dianora look it isn't like this, but if this is what you think than you are free."

"What?"-I ask.

"I'm letting you go."-he says and I saw pain in his eyes. Why? He doesn't have to fake anymore.

I grab my suitcase, wipe my tears and open the door leaving from him....
