I'm back!!! Pic of Emilio ^^

Alessandro

"That went pretty good" I mumble and look out my window, smiling a little

My phone rings and I look at the caller

"Emilio Moretti," I answer the phone, my happiness subsiding

"Alessandro Raniero" Emilio replied

God I want to punch this man

"What is it that you want Emilio? Still greedy for money?"

"What a funny man you are Alessandro," he chuckles "Not precisely but I called to inform you about our agreement. I would be expecting the package in a week"

"You think it's that easy to get that package you want? I'm not your fairy godmother"

"Well, you are the best compared to the others. They did tell me that you are assiduous and impeccable for my needs"

"And if I nullify the agreement?"

"You know what would happen, Alessandro. There would be a calamity and your father would be quite disappointed in you"

"I'll send it in a week" without waiting for an answer, I end the call

I fucking hate this job

Scarlett

I open the door of my apartment and fell face first on my bed

God, sometimes I want to dissipate

I groan as I take my hair tie off and placing it on my side table.

I look around my room only to realize that it looks like a disaster.

"Great" I mumble and stand up to pick up the clothes that fell from the laundry bag.

Being at work at all times sure does take away my responsibility to clean my apartment

--

As I finish cleaning my room, I pick up a box that I found under my bed

"Oh" I open the box and looked at the contents.

The note from the river and the other clues that Alessandro and I looked at

I shiver as I thought of the past events. I immediately closed the box and stand up. I then walked to the trash bin, throwing the box away

"The past is the past Scar. It's all over" I let out a loud sigh, thinking about Michael

Michael

I grab my coat and bag, leaving my apartment to visit my best friend, Michael

--

"Hey, Michael... It's so lonely here without you," I smile as I sat beside his tombstone "After what happened... I left and I needed time to heal and pursue my dreams. But I'm back. I'm a baker and I started talking to Alessandro. Oh, there's so much you need to know. If only you were here so I could see your expression. I'm very sorry for not going to your funeral... I couldn't bear the thought of you... in a coffin, asleep forever. I just... I miss that stupid smile of yours. I miss that guy who always scares the crap out of me. I miss how you're loquacious and jubilant. I miss that jokes you make. I miss everything about you, Michael. I-I miss you" I cleared my throat, trying not to cry

"I love you best friend" I mumble and stand up to leave "I hope you're doing well, wherever you are" I smile and with that, I left.

Emilio (the guy Alessandro was talking to)

"You know what would happen, Alessandro. There would be a calamity and your father would be quite disappointed in you" I touched the tip of my dart, waiting for Alessandro's response

"I'll send it in a week"

"Gr-

Before I could respond to his response, he ended the call and I chuckle

"Typical Alessandro" I put my dart down, losing interest in what I was doing

Being related to Alessandro Raniero must be really fun

I walked to the balcony, looking at my vineyard

"Emilio, I received an email from Alessandro. He has delivered the package. It is expected to be here in five days" My assistant, Claire, said and I turn to face her

"That was faster than I thought. Thank you, Claire" I smile and kissed her lips before leaving.

I grabbed my gloves, walking to my car so I can inform my father about the news.

If only you know what's about to happen, dear cousin. Just wait and you'll see... oh this is going to be fun
