Dario Romano may have escaped death yet again but he is far from the clear. A blood war is on the...
I woke up in a strange room. It was small and unfamiliar. The first thing that crossed my mind was the memories of earlier. We were on the yacht, trying to escape but this clearly not where I am. I remember getting shot and the pain that came with it. I quickly tossed the sheets of my body and took and took in my bandaged leg. Someone treated my wound, maybe the same person who put me in this room. Was it Mario? Did he win the shootout. I never did confirm for myself if it truly was Dario and his men who attacked us—well them. If he did, what truly happened? Why did it take him so long to get to us anyway. Kiana, where is she?! I hope she is alright. I hope she didn't get hurt. Fuck why did I have to blackout last night. What time is it anyway? What if it's the same night? How much time has passed?
The bedroom door swung open with such a force I thought it startled me. Gee, knock it down will ya? As Dario entered the room I lost my breath. I never did imagine what it would be like to see him again. Would I feel relief after all this time? Would I welcome him with open arms? Would I be disappointed or angry with him? I never knew but as he stands before me I couldn't even control it as the tears cascaded down my face.
"I have waited too long to see you again wife."
"D-Dario.."
He rushed to the bed and engulfed me in a hug I never thought I would get from him. It was tight, warm, welcoming and maybe even loving? That couldn't be right though.
"I have missed you Kiara." My heart stopped.
This was the first time I think he has ever uttered those words to me. I couldn't even bring myself to voice a response. It caught me completely off guard. Is this the same Dario Romano? Or is this another twin—I mean triplet maybe. This one is identical though. What the actual fuck.
"Who are you and where is Dario?" He actually laughed. I mean a genuine laugh. As genuine as my question was but no matter how rare it was to hear it I could definitely recognize it as his. Wow, this really is him.
"I-I don't understand this sudden..affection." I voiced my thoughts.
"You've been away for too long. How are you feeling?"
"Fine considering I just got shot."
"You were treated for the pain, it'll wear off in a few hours but all your meds are here to take."
"Kiana, is she—
"She's fine in the next room, resting."
"O-okay, I have so many questions Dario. Where are we?"
"At a hotel, don't worry we're safe for now. We're still in Russia, we will probably leave in a few days."
"Why not now?"
"You're not exactly up for traveling as yet and I have something important to take care of."
"Something like what? Where is Mario and Valentina?"
"Enough questions."
"B-but Dario..
"Just lay with me for now Kiara." I sighed a bit disappointed that he isn't up for answering my questions right now but I allowed him to lay with me. Someone familiar for a change. It was harmless, that's what I told myself and I hope he knew it too.
