Celeste is the newest emperor of the Rossi Familia. Despite her young age, she's gone through more than she should've. The world of mafia and coward men tore her apart. However, she hid her heart between a million locks to ensure she didn't g...

The plane took off an hour ago and since then I've been laying on the bed. Liam left me and has been in the living room the entire time.
The fact that this morning was peaceful and special until I overhear him shows how quickly things can change. Liam was hiding something all along. I had a feeling that this would happen. It did. The phone calls on the way here, the mysterious calls that he declined were all possibly related to this.
I felt stupid and mad. I knew that I couldn't trust him but I thought that he proved himself to me. Taking the bullet was a major thing but now that I think of it, it didn't kill him nor did it cause much pain. So it could've been just his way of fooling me into thinking that he liked me and that he was trustworthy.
And then there was Luciana.
She was killed. My entire heart shattered after hearing the news. I haven't cried this much since I was with Luca.
Luciana meant so much to me. Not only was she my partner in crime but she was like my second mother. I wasn't afraid to tell her anything. She was like the safe that would never open and contain my secrets to till the very end. You couldn't forget that she was one of the most valuable people in our family.
The thought of her death terrified me. I had a feeling that something would happen. Why was I just now realizing that my gut was never wrong? If I'd listened to my gut, none of this would've happened.
I grabbed a pillow and pulled it to my chest. I wrapped my arms around it and let the tears fall. I heard a knock on the door. It opened and Liam walked in. I wiped my cheeks as Liam closed the door.
"I'm not even going to ask you how are you feeling because I know you feel shit," I nodded as he sat down on the other side of the bed, his back facing me. "Ce-"
"I don't want to talk to you." He sighed.
"We'll have to one day."
"Yeah, but certainly not today."
"Celeste, I promise you with my entire life that I didn't know anything about it. I told you before that I called the previous mission off because I loved you."
"Liam, stop." He shook his head.
"No, Celeste, I have to. I made a deal with Francesco that we'd go behind your backs in taking down Vlad to ensure that he doesn't give Audrey away to Elijah." What the fuck? "He told me that it was either you, Audrey or Beatrice. I said that none of you are doing it and he wasn't having it." I turned to the other side because I couldn't hold back the tears and for some reason, I didn't want him to see me cry. "He called me before we took off to Bora Bora and told me that he made a few changes and that he's positive that this will work." Fucking bullshit. "I didn't want you to worry about it because my only requirement was that neither you nor your family gets hurt." Con-fucking-gratulations. "He agreed and I had a thought on the back of my mind that he'll go behind my back. This morning I called him because I wanted to agree to it." Idiot. "I asked him once more to tell me the plan and he said to read the agreement that he had sent to me. I hung up and began reading it until Alex called me. He said that he had overheard him talking to someone on the phone about the project."
