I'm sitting in my office signing some papers for work when suddenly I hear a knock.

"Come in." I said and then Noah walks in.

"Is it important?" I asked.

"Yeah. Here." He said , handing me a package.

"What's this?" I said , trying to hide my smile.

"What you ordered. Liam's head."

I laugh and I open the package.

"Such a beauty. I mean the package, not him. I will add it in my collection." I replied , looking at Noah.

"You have a collection?" He asked , raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah. I do."

"You are surprising me everyday , man."

"I know , right?" I said , smirking.

I get the package and I put it in my closet.

"Do you know what day is Monday?" He asked.

"November nine. Why?"

He looks at me and I realised what he meant.

November nine is the worst day.

Fourteen years since she died.

Fourteen years since Liam killed my mother.

"I want to be alone." I said sitting in my chair.

"Sure. I'll come with Angela later , she wants to see Aurora." He said , exiting my office.

I remember exactly how everything happened that day. I was just a teenager.

I close my eyes trying to remember what happened.

*FOURTEEN YEARS AGO*

LILY'S (HIS MOTHER) POV:

I was washing the dishes when I hear footsteps behind me.

"Hi mom." I turn around and I see Riccardo.

"Hello , honey , what's wrong?" I asked , smiling.

I turn off the water and take a towel to dry my hands.

"I'm going to Jade, my girl, I don't know exactly when I'm coming home, but I might stay overnight, if her father lets me stay. Okay?"

"Sure honey , have fun! Call me if anything." I said , hugging him.

"Bye , mom!" He yells , going out the door.

I take my phone and I call Enzo on face time, Riccardo's father.

"Sì, mia bella?" He answers.

(Translate: Yes , beautiful?"

"Ciao Enzo, cosa stai facendo?" I asked , sitting at the kitchen table.

(Translate: Hello Enzo , how are you?"

"Sono in Spagna, lo sai. Ma sai che non verrò presto, vero?" He said.

(Translate: I'm in Spain, you know that. But you know that I won't come home soon , right?)

"Lo so... È molto vuoto senza di te... Sono molto preoccupato per te... Se soffri di qualcosa?"
