“So, what will you do next?”, Norah asked. “It will be weird to go on without her.”, I said. Norah squeezed my hand. “We’re here when you need us.”, she said. I smiled sadly; my mom was all the family I had. “Is it weird that I’m not crying?”, I asked. “No.”, Norah answered decisively. “You do what feels right for you and let no one tell you otherwise! I think you are already accepting that she is no longer with us. Mourning is a different process for all of us.” I nodded. She was right. Lily had a normal life, with a normal family, normal job and normal friends. Focused on her career, she made no time for boyfriends. Not that the right ones wanted her anyways... But after her mom's death she is stupified when she learns that she is now the proud owner of 2 houses in Europe and a million dollar trust fund. Turns out, her life is not so boring anymore, her mom never was boring, and the job brings her into more problems than she needed. And the men, they are now fighting for her heart. Will Lily find her happily ever after, or is she already in too deep?

In Too Deep: a mafia story

I heard a gunshot, but I didn’t feel anything. I opened my eyes immediately, and there was chaos around me. I pulled out my gun and I started shooting blindly. I didn’t know who I hit, but I shot everyone who got in my sight. I bent over Lily to see her bleeding from her stomach. 


The woman shot herself. She was told to shoot me, but she shot herself instead. On purpose. The woman is too good for this world, and definitely too good for me! 


“She needs to get out of here fast!”, I yelled at someone. We only brought a small group out on the field, but there was reinforcement around. At Ennio’s command they moved and got over here fast. The Brunos had their men stationed on the grounds, but it seemed to be rather equal numbers. That means that we had a chance to get out of this, with Lily.
