Or will their pasts destroy them both? ------------------------------------------ I stood in front of the door. The door I wasn't allowed to open. The door that Antonio kept locked. Tonight it was open. Just a gap. A gap that changed everything. I saw Antonio. He stood in the center of the room that I could never have imagined. In front of him was a man kneeling on his knees. He was covered in blood, and hardly looked human anymore. Antonio's back was tense and his voice was loud, full of hatred and rage. He had a weapon in his right hand. "Because of you, I lost one of my best men. And because of you, I lost my mother," he said. The man stammered something incomprehensible. Antonio raised the gun. Bang. The man's body a laid on the floor. Blood everywhere. Something in me broke. I tear myself away from the door frame, stumbled backwards and pushed a painting off the wall. Who was this man really? I wanted to know who Antonio Caruso is. Now I wonder if I will survive the truth. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ I recommend readers to be 18+. Copyright ©2025 by @a_ia.hung All rights reserved.

"You're so lame." Alexander comments as he walks into the kitchen. "Shut up, I don't care." I scoff as I continue to make myself a sandwich. "You know, maybe guys will notice you more once you stop wearing your father's clothes." He teases and at that moment, I turn around to face him and give him a fuming glare. "Leave me alone." I hiss through gritted teeth before storming out of the kitchen, leaving behind my sandwich. ✕❤︎✕❤︎✕❤︎ A 16 year old girl named Courtney is not your average teenager.
