The Garden Of Blood Trilogy: Book Three
Arden has just died leaving her family in danger of being over throned. She was the last living founding member.
Now her sheltered granddaughter Crimson will see just how cruel and twisted the mafia world is...
The grass is super soft under my fingertips as I just glide them on the top of it. I could feel the heat from the sun shining down in all its grace on my face.
"Celine,"
"Celine" I could hear her voice calling me but I just squeezed my eyes tighter. Whoever is calling wanted me to get out of this moment of happiness.
"Is she trying to hide from us?" A heavy male voice chuckled but I just ignored them.
"No she is being stubborn," the female voice huffs.
I knew who was talking because there was only one person on the planet earth that called me Celine. And I refused to open my eyes because she left me to a shit storm that came in the form of one cruel man.
"Ok enough play...get up and hug me," she demanded. I rolled my eyes even though my eyes are closed and answer "I don't have to answer you. This is my dream grandma,"
"No it's not really a dream," the male voice says.
I open my eyes and look up. There are two young people looking down at me and I scrunch my face up at them. Getting up from the grass I raise an eyebrow at them.
"Celine?" I looked at her from head to toe. She kind of looks like my grandma from her younger pictures. And the man next to her looks like a tattooed god. His eyebrows are what made me curious as to who he was. I mean he too looks like a younger grandpa Niko.

"Grandma?" I ask. She nods her head "In the spirit...this is Nikolaos..." before she could get out the words I hug him tightly. He lets out a sharp breath as I knock out the oxygen out of him.
"It's nice to meet you grandpa Niko," I cheerfully say.
I did not understand why my grandparents were young or why the hell was I seeing them, but all I know is that I was glad to see them.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Crimson. Arden, she looks just like us," he laughs. I giggle at what he says and then leave him to hug my grandma.
"I missed you. He is going to kill me," I whisper into her shoulder.
Grandma backs away from me and shakes her head "No he is not. I can't tell you things because it's against the rules but know that this will not last forever," she promises me with a smile.
