*Previously named Sinner's*
They're both Sinner's.
So horrible, yet so perfect for each other.
So horribly perfect.
Mara De La Riva.
Daughter to the capo of the Spanish Mafia. A cold-hearted killing machine raised to perfection.
Her purpose in life...

I can see how he looks at her, how she looks at him. Both completely and utterly consumed by another's presence but yet in denial.
I watch him watch her, how his eyes light up when she shoots him a small smile.
Mara is a tricky woman, she's trusting yet not trusting enough. For the majority of her time spent living with Leonardo, I've gathered that she often thinks with her heart instead of her brain, because she too has let down the walls that were closing in on her before she met Leonardo.
Leonardo exposed himself to the vulnerability that is love and now he will pay the price for his mistake.
I watch as she lies flat in the grass, the cold winter's sun beaming down on her golden skin. She looks calm, peaceful even as birds scattered amongst the trees express their gratitude for the winter sun as they chirp in tune with each other.
I look up to Leonardo's office, where he watches silently at his wife, adoration on his face. I don't think they even know how much they are drawn to each other, how utterly infatuated yet oblivious they both are.
I've found that she likes the outdoors, more than the indoors. She could be often found in the garden, either strolling amongst the wildflowers Leonardo planted for his mother or as how she is now, sleeping in the grass, completely undisturbed.
I watch how she lays there, feeling safe under the care of Leonardo and I cock my head and smile as she gets up and heads inside, presumably in search of her husband.
And I slink into the shadows, knowing that soon enough she won't have that privilege anymore. Knowing that Leonardo will search every corner of the world to find her but he won't.
Because she got away once, she's not getting away again.
