I sat at the balcony with a cup of red wine in my hand while stirring the stem of the cup lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear his footsteps when he came in.
He was just in a pair of black sweats that hung low on his waist revealing his thick v-line.
The silver ray of the moonlight complimented the beautiful tattoo design on his arm, chest and his neck.
A simple silver change was locked around his neck.
His half curly hair was wet with droplets of water dripping from it and rolling down his hard rock chest down his perfect row of abs and disappearing into the protection of his pants.
I could feel his orbs burning the side of my face and I ignored it because I couldn't look him in the eyes and not feel my ego shatter.
"I perfectly understand how you feel Aurora, it's hard for you to look me in the eyes and not relive what had happened or feel your ego shatter.
Your pride is so big and your confidence is high that I know it'll shatter you if you lose it.
Just like you, I was born into this world of dangerous weapons, drugs, blood shed, violence and many more.
We were once the only mafias ruling over the under world until your grandfather stepped into power, that was how the marchessis became powerful
From the stories my grandma told me, she described your grandfather as a man who thirsted for blood, power and money which made my grandfather more ruthless because he didn't want anyone to take the title of being king of the mafias from the Lombardis.
I was still very little when my grandfather started pushing Francisco to train so he could take over and also after he discovered that Fernandez Marchessi, your father had an affair with his maid and she gave birth to a daughter.
That information made him so happy so he was certain that no one can take over.
I was born few years later but I lived a simple life because my grandma and mother were able to convince my grandfather and father to leave me out of this.
Two years after my birth the news came to my family that Fernandez Marchessi had another daughter but my dad didn't care until he heard she will be the heiress and he also discovered i had a high intelligent quotient so he dragged me into this life.
I was fed with stories of different rivals and reasons we did what we did, soon i was deprived of the normal life I lived.
My mother was too scared of my dad so she never snuck me out to have fun. she never did it cause she didn't want to put my life in danger.
My grandmother was the only heroine I had, she always went against my father and made sure i was happy.
She was the only woman i lived and could have died for.
The day she died was the day I changed forever. I found out it was the marchessis that killed her and that built the hate i had for you people.
From then I was able to relate with Francisco and my dad's resentment towards your family.
As if that wasn't enough the first girl I ever loved was murdered by a marchessi"
He paused clenching his fist on the rails and I stared at him with a blank look surprise at the sudden information but deep down my heart swirled in jealousy.
"Shannon's death ruined me, she was fierce yet she had the most innocent soul.
She was the kind of girl I like pretty, average height, sex....... "The fuck Javier why the hell are you giving me that information" I gritted out annoyed.
He drew a smirk in his face. "I smell jealousy" I scoffed and shook my head in annoyance trying to hide my jealousness.
"Are you going to keep talking or walk out?" I spat out harshly and he raised his hands up in surrender.
"Sorry don" he sarcastically apologized.
"I found out she was killed because the person who liked her was a marchessi and angry at the fact I had her.
I decided to step up the game of the Lombardis since my brother was lacking behind, so i used the opportunity to dethrone him.
With the anger in my heart and thirst for revenge i slowly became ruthless, heartless and merciless.
I used my intelligence as my advantage in ruling the under world and that was how I became who I am now.
Not too long a marchessi found their way to take my mother's life. All the three women that were important to me had their lives taken by a marchessi.
A while after my mother's death Francisco's body was delivered to me and the last person he was with was Luciana dela lucchese that's what caused the rift between the brothers and I.
His voice held pain and anger andhis face not failing to hide the emotion he was feeling.
"Then why did you push the blame on me?" I decided to push the topic.
"I eventually discovered that it was the great Claudia Aurora Marchessi that murdered him and that was what fuelled my hate for you.
I badly wanted to watch you and your empire crumble, i wanted to destroy you and make you feel the pain I felt seeing his body delivered to me.
And don't think I won't do it Claudia, I can forgive you for any other thing but the death of my mother and Francisco, I'll never forgive you because it was during your reign they died".
His face was contoured in pain, his eyes filled with anger, agony, danger and of all sadness.
From his words i know he isn't threatening, i know he'll destroy me.
Listening to all the has said i can conclude that Javier turned out to be who he is because of circumstances and all he had to face in life.
Our story is quite similar but his last words made me feel like I was reliving the night it happened and i broke into uncontrolable tears.
