《Marrying the Capo》Chapter Twenty-Five
Advertisement
The event was actually an annual party among riches people. A party where some businessmen/women looking a potential investors or partners. Well, some of them are bragging their success in life. Talking how they get this stage with so much pride.
Mom and dad are not here. I didn't find them. And it confirmed by Nicolas mother, Elizabeth, that they will not attend the event because something came up. I tried to ask what's the problem but Elizabeth just shrugged.
And here I thought Nicolas will be by my side but who would know who's my date now. It was Alfred. And I don't know where on earth Nicolas is. We actually separated in front of the building and it was almost an hour. I still don't know where he is.
"Are you okay?" I looked at Alfred a little bit cranky. Like who wouldn't? We're here waiting like years for Nicolas appearance.
"I hate parties." I commented.
I was about to drink the champagne when suddenly someone spoke into the microphone on stage. I turned there. A man was there and smiling at the audience.
"Hello everyone. Thank you for coming. This celebration is not just for business. I have this friend who got married recently and I want to congratulate him."
I got nervous. Nicolas isn't the only one who got married here, is he?
"My friend. Come here." The man continued and pointed to the front. I can't see who was he pointing because we're in the back. There are also too many people. But the nervousness in my chest increased when I saw Nicolas up on stage. He even smiled at the audience when he was already next to the man.
"Congratulations my friend. I know you're here in Italy because of your honeymoon and most of them want to meet your wife. So let us call Mrs. Nicolas Andrian De Luca!" The man loudly announced.

My eyes widened. Did they already know that I was Nicolas' wife. I turned to Alfred. He looked at me with smiles on his lips as if he's saying to 'stand up and go up there'.
But our eyes also returned to the stage when people shouted. And it was as if a knife had stabbed me when I saw Fiona coming up on stage with a big smile on her face. I stiffened. All my emotions got vanished.
I didn't notice that my tears were already dripping. Smiling Nicolas greeted Fiona and then they even kissed.
I turned around to the table when my body weakened. Alfred immediately assisted me me. Holding me from falling.
"Cassy." He called but I could not hear anything but the person who was now speaking on stage. Nicolas held the microphone as he thanked those who greeted them. It was as if my heart was being torn apart by every word he said.
"I love her and I intended to love her forever. Thank you so much."
"Al-fred, pl-ease l-let me out of h-here." I stammered.
Alfred immediately helped me out of the building. My legs trembled but I got caught in the hood of the car while holding my chest.
"Cassy."
"Don't. Don't say anything. Can we go to the park?"
Alfred looked at me worriedly. "I can't. Nicolas will be angry when he didn't see us."
"Don't worry. Once you've taken me to the park you can come back here. I'll just go back to the mansion when I'm done dealing myself. I'm just going to relax my mind."
"I can't. What if something bad will happen then you-"
"Please." I cut him.
I just want to leave this place.
Eventually Alfred followed me. Alfred stopped the car in a park where there were a lot of people. "Call me, okay." I nodded to him and then got out of the car. When the car left, I fell to my knees and immediately burst into tears.

I punched my chest as if it will fade the pain I feel inside.
Why is this happening to my life? Why me? Yes. I admit. I fucking love that bastard. I fucking love him and I hate myself for loving him. I fucking hate myself for choosing that asshole who doesn't feel anything about me but resentment.
I hugged my legs while sitting on the grass, crying with so much pain. But I stopped when I saw a handkerchief in front of me. I lifted my head and saw Fabio.
He sat down next to me. He put the handkerchief on my knees. "Did you know that people have been looking at you since you got out the car? You look like a kid as if someone took your candy." I rolled my eyes and looked around. Fabio was right. Almost everyone there was looking at me. But I just sighed and looked at him.
"What are you doing here?" I wiped away the tears with his handkerchief.
"I'm your stalker, right?" He answered.
I looked at him badly. He just smiled and then looked back at a building that looked so beautiful because of the different lights. So that's where also my eyes focused.
"What happened?" He suddenly asked. I gripped tightly the handkerchief.
"I don't want to talk about it."
I should be scared right now because I know who Fabio is. He was my only stalker then. But in his actions now he is different. He has changed a lot.
"You know Cassy. As soon as I got released from jail I wanted to talk to you and apologize all the things I've done to you but dad told me that I should talk to you after my rehabilitation." I looked at him. He indeed changed. He looked at me. "I hope you'll forgive me for everything I've done."
"You're forgiven Fabio." He smiled at me.
"Thank you." I held out my hand to him. He looked at me curiously.
"Let's be friends." He immediately reached for my hand. We shook our hands and then settled in the grass.
My eyes returned to the building and I gasped. Fabio stood up then left. I thought he left already but I was surprised when he sat down again in his seat and then handed me the cotton candy.
My eyes light up when I see my favorite food when I'm sad. "I know this is your favorite when you're sad." He says.
"How did you know?"
"Hello, I'm your stalker." I just laughed at his answer.
And there I temporarily forgot what happened that night.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”
