"Don't touch me."
"Red I-"
"You still don't even know my name!" Anna whips around pulling her t-shirt over her head. "How drunk were we?"
"Actually I wasn't really drunk..."
"Yet you slept with me? You don't even know my name and you slept with me! Who the hell do you think you are?" Anna yells as him. Marcello goes to answer but she holds her hand up to stop him. "Forget it! Don't answer that. I'm going. If I ever see you again it will be too soon!" Anna shouts storming out of his bedroom.
Anastasia eventually find her way out of Marcello's enormous house. She is saddened and happy that Marcello didn't not follow her. As she makes her way out onto the street she realises she left her bag behind. Anna curses at herself but doesn't turn back. She can cancel her cards, her phones are replaceable and she can always buy a new bag.
Marcello watches the beautiful woman leave from his bedroom window. Never had a woman yelled at him like that. Except for his mother. That is her Italian blood he thinks to himself. Moving away from the window something catches his attention at the foot of the bed. A bag. Her bag.
Marcello ignores his mother's voice in the back of her telling him not to look through her bag. His pulls out her wallet and immediately looks for her licence.
"Anastasia Carmichael." He reads aloud. Taking his phone off the night stand he calls one of his men. "Find me everything on Anastasia Carmichael." He barks into the phone before hanging up.
"Who was the girl?" Luciano Morretti, Marcello's brother enters the bedroom.
"Hacker who found your burner." Marcello snaps.
"Name?"
"Anastasia."

"Fiery hair."
"And personality."
"And the sex?" Luca asks overstepping his boundaries.
"Why are you here?" Marc snaps at his brother.
"Can't I come and see my big brother?"
"Luciano!"
"Fine. I here cause Ed is pissed at me. I needed to get out of the house."
"What did you do this time?"
"Nothing!"
"Tell me."
"I seriously did nothing. She is..."
"Yes?"
"She is pregnant." Luca says softly.
"Complimenti! I'm so happy for you!" Marcello hugs his little brother.
"So who is the girl really?" Luca asks.
"Anastasia Carmichael." Marcello replies.
"You like her?" Luca asks and Marcello just nods. Marcello's phone rings and the two stare at it for a moment. Marcello presses the phone to his ear.
"Morretti."
"Don, we found nothing."
"What do you mean nothing?"
"It is like she doesn't exist."
"I'm holding her drivers licence the girl exists!"
"All we found was a couple in Las Vegas. Anita and Jacob Carmichael. Two kids Anastasia and Charles. It says Charles died twelve years ago."
"That's her. That's Anastasia."
"But that's all there is. The girl vanishes when she turn fifteen. No trace of her."
"The parents, what about them?"
"Millionaires they own the Carmichael Grand on the Vegas strip."
"Good work. Thanks."
"No problem boss."
Marcello hangs up the phone. He throws it in the bed and Luca lets out a low whistle.
"Not the answer you were looking for?"
"They found nothing on her only her parents."
"How is that possible?"
"The girl is a hacker. That's how she found me. Did you know iPhones take photos throughout the day?"
"What?" Luca throws a pillow over Marcello's phone. "Are you serious?"

"Yep. Crazy right? How am I going to find her?"
"Why do you want to?"
"She left her bag I should return it." Marcello stares at his feet.
"It is more than that. I have seen countless women leave your bed since we moved to San Francisco never once have you tracked one of them down. You like this girl."
"She is indescribable." Marcello admits. "And she speaks Italian."
"Damn fratello! You have to marry this one. I have been with Eddison how long and the girl still can't understand a word."
"Go home to your wife Luciano."
"Go find you girl Marcello." Luca counters.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
