24 - YOUR LOVE HURTS
-ELLIOT-
Hades Romano. One of the wealthiest men in Italy and the most influential mob boss. The mastermind of the crime world.
He's intriguing. He's mysterious. There's something off about him. How can someone be so good? There's something wrong with this guy and I'll find it out.
My fingers run on the keyboard furiously but the internet only showed the public information about him, there wasn't anything about his private life. He plays his games well.
" Elliot." I gasp, startled as Anna bursts into the room.
" What the fuck, Anna? Couldn't you knock or something?" I scream at her.
" Why are you so rude?" She snaps.
" What do you want me to do? You scared me to death." I growl, slamming the laptop shut.
" You aren't dead yet." She giggles, sitting on the bed.
" Okay, you won't believe what I just saw." She giggles like a stupid bimbo.
" What?" I mutter, rolling my eyes.
Probably a new handbag or pair of heels, she's going to cry about until I spend all my savings on it. Damn, I have to get rid of her. I just don't know how, I probably should put that dagger that Sage gifted me to work.
Yes, that should work.
" I was passing by Sage's room and I heard moans so I peeked in and I saw it." She giggles, covering her eyes.
" Saw what?"
" Sage and Hades on the bed. Hades has such a good body, his muscles looked so good, so defined and he even has eight packs. Can you believe it? Eight fucking packs." She laughs, blushing all red.
" You saw everything?" I was ashamed of her acts.
She just can't peek into people's rooms. Sage would be embarrassed if she heard this.
Wait . . .
Sage and Hades. They were doing it. Sage gave in so quickly. How can she trust him!? He's just a stranger and after all this, she still gave in so quick.
" What were they doing?" I ask feeling a lump forming in my throat.
" What people do on bed. Hades was screwing Sage and man, she was loving it. Her moans were bouncing off the walls. I wish I was in her place." Anna dreamily sighs.
The fuck!
" Shut the fuck up, Anna. Are you forgetting that you're my girlfriend?" I scream, glaring at her.
" You shut up, Elliot. Have you seen how Hades looks at Sage? He stares at her as if she carries his whole world and I'm not even a part of your world. Instead, you look at Sage as if she's your whole world. Sabrina experiences that too. Enrique doesn't spare her a glance in front of Sage. What is in that b*tch that I don't have ?" she screams, throwing a vase on the floor.
" Shut the f*ck up, Anna. You've gone crazy." I growl, turning away from her.
She can't know. How did she know? No one can know about this. If Anna the dull-tubelight noticed this then everyone else would have noticed it too. No, this can't happen. I can't lose my friendship with Sage.
" Shutting me up won't change the truth, Elliot. I've seen and everyone in your family knows it too but like always they decided to ignore you and your feelings. No one cares for you Elliot, they think you're a piece of trash in front of Enrique and they aren't wrong." she yells making me clench my jaw tightly.
She is definitely testing my patience right now.
" You know what? Someone like you shouldn't be with a trash like me. Leave Anna and don't ever come back." I yell, pointing at the door.
" Haa, what do you think you're rejecting me? I reject you, Elliot. And no, I wont ever come back to you. I'll become the Italian Mob Queen soon and you'll lick the dust on my shoes." she smirks at me.
The Italian Mob Queen? Isn't that place for Hades' wife?
" Keep dreaming Anna." I roll my eyes.
" Oh please, Elliot. You're a dumb chopstick. Everyone in this family knows that Hades is in Sage's room right now just for some time-pass pleasure and he isn't going to make her his bride." she laughs, smirking at me.
" How do you know this? Did Hades tell you because as far as I remember, he didn't even spare you a glance in the party last night." he scoff at her empty words.
" Not Hades, his mother did after Sabrina told her the truth about Sage." she says, picking her handbag.
" What truth?" I took a step forward, looking at her with a frown.
" The truth about Enrique and Sage's wedding canceling. Sabrina told us all the truth of how Sage eloped and spent the night with a boy but later the boy dumped her so she faked an accident and you guys brought her back. And she also told us that Sage's father got that boy arrested so that's why you guys always went to the court." she giggles, styling her hair casually.
" I actually felt pity for that b*tch when I saw her sometimes back in those years. She looked so scared and traumatized after coming from the court but damn, she's the main player. The cunning sl*t."
I let out a roar, slapping Anna across her face. She stumbles back, falling on the floor.
My Sage isn't cunning. She isnt wicked. It wasn't planned. It wasn't her fault. She didn't do anything. I was there, I saw how they beat her up before taking her away less did I know that day that our Sage won't ever be the same again when she'll return.
" What the hell, Elliot?" she screams, rubbing her cheek.
" What else did Sabrina say?" I growl.
" She told how cunning Sage is behind that mask of being innocent she always wears. I mean, she's so good at acting, no one can doubt how horrendous her real face is." Anna mumbles, taking a few steps away from me.
" What else did Sabrina say?"
" She said Sage begun having boyfriends at a young age and she lost her v*rginity when she was thirteen to a boy who was twenty at that time. But hey, I heard she lost it to Enrique when she was sixteen? Sage is a total house of lies." Anna rolls her eyes annoyingly.
" What else?"
I could feel my jaw ticking with her each word, my eyes prickling with tears but I held everything back just to see how low Sabrina has stooped this time.
" She just talked more about Sage's previous relationships and how she eloped from her wedding. Poor Sabrina really cried when she explained how Sage broke Enrique's heart and rejected him. Poor Enrique, he was so heartbroken that he moved to London and now Sabrina is healing him. I wish they always stay together and Sage that evil sl*t dies a painful death."
Amma shrieks when I slap her again with much force this time. It wasn't her fault, Sabrina has fed them lies but I couldn't hold myself back.
Anna sobs, holding her cheek in pain making me growl in annoyance.
I'm going to kill Sabrina today.
I storm out of my room towards Sabrina's room when I bump into someone.
" Watch out, man." I scream pushing the person.
" I'm so-"
" Shawn." I gasp looking at his teary face.
I hadn't seen him since last night when his dad called him in the office. Oh God, did his dad do something to Shawn for disrespecting Mrs. Romano?
There were dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen terribly.
" What's wrong, buddy?" I pat his shoulder.
" Nothing." he whispers, looking away.
Yeah, as if I'll believe that.
" What is wrong, Shawn? Tell me." I mumble gently, patting his shoulder.
" My d-dad, he . . . he th-"
" Elliot."
Anna storms out of my room, screaming like a maniac.
" To hell with you and your psycho family. I'm going to be the Italian Mob Queen soon and then I'll show that b*tch Sage what pain feels like." she yells throwing her heel at me before running down the stairs.
" Sage? Why is she after Sage now?" Shawn looked back at me.
" Sabrina fed alot of lies to everyone." I sigh.
" What did Sabrina do now?" he groans.
" Come." Holding his hand, we walk up to the last floor where Enrique's and Sage's room was.
I was about to knock on Enrique's door when I heard them yelling at each other. Great. Drama and yelling never comes to an end in this house.
" Damn, I wish Mumma aborted Sabrina." Shawn groans hearing them scream.
" Wishing the same about Enrique." I let out a little chuckle.
Actually, Sabrina and Enrique match each other perfectly, they both know nothing except ruining others and creating troubles. I can already imagine what demons their kids will be if they don't begin arguing in the middle of fucking each other.
" What's wrong with you?" Sabrina yells.
" What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're acting like a s*x hungry wh*re." Enrique yells.
Whoa. Okay.
" You're my fiance. Hades and Sage are–"
" Why the fuck is everything related to that Hades? Do you want him, Sabrina? If you do then you can go to him." Enrique yells.
" I'm not saying that," Sabrina yells.
" Hey Elliot, have a look into Sage's room." Shawn chuckles looking into Sage's room.
Anna's words sound in my ears as I shake my head as a no. But he won't ask me to look if they were doing that, right?
I shrug, peeking into Sage's room through the gap between the open doors only to see them both giggling like kids.
Sage was sitting in Hades' lap as he braided her hair. The most dangerous mob boss was braiding a girl's hair. Weird.
" Aren't they cute? This is all I've ever wanted for Sage." Shawn whispers.
" Yeah." I bit my lips, stifling a sob.
Why didn't anyone see when I braided her hair? Why didn't anyone think it was special when I used to comb her hair or help her put on nail polish? Why was my love always named as friendship and Hades' little affection is looking like a great act. Why me?
" Let's see what Sabrina and Enrique are doing," I whisper, pulling him towards Enrique's room.
They were still arguing and more loudly now. I'm just glad their voices aren't going to Sage's room. She looks so happy with him and my heart is scared, she'll be broken if Hades is the wrong one.
" Why can't you just fuck me?" Sabrina screams.
" Eew." Shawn cringes.
" Because I don't like you and nor does my cock." Enrique screams.
" Eew." It was my turn to cringe.
What are these two up to !?
" Why? You still love Sage, don't you?"
