It's been a few months since we got rid of Leonardo. Rex and I were completely free to do whatever we want, whenever we want to without hiding anymore and I could tell he changed as a person. He's just been busy lately ever since last month but I didn't want to assume anything.

He was just so... Distant.

I wanted to ask him multiple times but he always dodged my questions somehow and it way really worrying me. The only thing that kept me sane was that we were going to visit Alina again and I could tell she was really excited that me and Rex are finally very much official. Rex wasn't here when I woke up this morning. He promised me he would try to come early so we could spend some alone time before we leave. The gangs he had to deal with was becoming uncontrolable since Leonardo is not in the picture anymore. My mothers crudes were finally used to the new warehouse and people. I got to talk to them a lot after returning from Romania.

Rex told me he would buy us a house there.

It warmed my heart and I fucking hate admitting it.

He didn't open the kids and family talk anymore and I know why. It's because he makes it obvious that if we ever get married we won't ever live in a two floor house with three kids, no. First of all, we can't quit the mafia because of both our anger issues. We need to let it out somehow and we both enjoy what we do which makes me sound psychotic.

He makes the thought of spending out life together different and I love that. I got dressed and packed both of our bags so we can leave as soon as we can when Rex is here. I heard the loud car pull up to the house and sighed. I was angry at him for lying. I opened the door and placed the bags in the car after he parked.

"What's with that face?" He asked with a grin as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I rolled my eyes and he chuckled lightly before kissing every inch of my face. "If you think I'm forgetting about your lying ass when you get all sappy and clingy with me, you'd be very incorrect." He bit my bottom lip before squeezing his lips to mine. He knew how to shut me up.

"I'm still-"He bent down to grab the back of my knees and threw me over his shoulder before walking to the house. "I'm going to kick your fucking ass!" He placed me on the couch agressively and I smacked his face before he got a hold of my hands and kissed me again.

"I'll take a quick shower then we'll leave." He said before kissing me again and getting up from on top of me. "You can join if you want." He mumbled,

"I still hate you." I said behind him breathlessly and saw his devious smirk before he was out of my sight.

I sat in the passenger seat although I kept glancing at the back. I wanted to see Rex and hold his hand but was also tired. He opened a song and I narrowed my eyes when he turned up the volunme. "I've been listening to this the whole ride, hope you don't mind if I..." He turned up the volume even more and glanced at me. I had a smirk forming when I saw the songs name and it started playing.

"Arabella's got a seventies head. But she's a modern lover. It's an exploration, she's made of outer space. And her lips are like the galaxy's edge! And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place!" I bit my lip to not grin like a maniac then covered my ears after closing my eyes. He pulled one of my hands and sang louder as he held it tight like a microphone,

"My days end best when this sunset gets itself." He cupped my face and turned it to him.

"Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side!" I rolled my eyes as he kept going. "It's much less picturesque without her catching the light. The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes!" Never in my life I'd think Rex Rosetti, The Devilman giving me my personal concert but I'm not complaining.

"Alright now if you tell anyone about that I'll deny it till the end of my existence and call you a obsessed freak." I grimaced and then let out the smile I've been keeping, that's been hurting my cheeks.

"I love your smile." He sighed and I leaned back. "Okay." I didn't know what to say but he seemed to be satisfied with my answer because he leaned his head slightly back and started laughing.

I was helping Alina do the dishes. Rex had left to shop groceries for Alina. I haven't realised how caring he could get for his mother. For the people he loves.

Maria has been giving me weird glances every now and then like she's judging my soul. I saw her open her mouth to speak but then close it right back. It annoyed me. Rex was late again. It shouldn't take this long to get fucking groceries. "Arabella, dear can you come here for a second." I nodded at Maria. "I'll just finish off the dishes." I offered but Alina shook her head and pointed to the door. She was the nicest person and you're telling me her son came out like that. A small smile reached my lips then left when I relised he's late. Maybe there's traffic.

"Arabella, I don't know where to start..." She blew out the breath she's been holding and I nodded. This isn't weird at all. "Has Rex ever mentioned about my daughter before?" I nodded again, keeping my mouth shut. It's just so random. Rex told me that Maria had a daughter and maybe she would be here today but she isn't.

And I feel like that's what this conersation is about.

I gulped when she held one of my hands. "I'm just afraid Rex has been seeing her a lot recently." I narrowed my eyes. "Okay? And?" I came off rude, I'm aware and that changed the look in her eyes for a split second before she replaced it back with sorrow. "I heard them speaking in her room yesterday night and went absolutely insane. I kicked him out and gave him a lecture. I couldn't bring myself together to have a chat with Alina to explain. She's my best friend and you love Rex. He doesn't deserve you sweetie." I kept myself away from negative thoughts. Maybe he was there to... He told me he had to visit some fucking leader. He didn't want me there because apparently the guy was a harrasser and it would be the best if he never met me.

"It's not really a surprise, Arabella. You know mafia men, you grew up with them." I shook my head. "Not a surprise? Maybe for most but not Rex." My mom warned me. Don't love, don't trust and don't ever let your guard down.

I did all three with Rex. Would he throw me away for some girl?

He would. For prettier woman who play hard to get. I'm just a homeless, worthless member.

Why would he choose me? When there are way better options.

"I'm sorry." I excused myself and went to the bathroom, throwing my guts out. I'm a worthless piece of shit, my mom was aware of it. The only way I could survive is to not keep connections with the people I know.

I need a clean fucking start.

~~~

Okay so let me explain myself for this ending.
