Blake's POV:

"Sign the papers, Violet." Four words.

I watch as her mouth opens, but no words seem to come out.

I watch as she gets up and searches for water, probably because her throat is dry.

I watch as she struggles to stand on her feet.

I watch as I break her heart.

My brother rushes to her, and so does his girlfriend.

They help her and make her sit again.

Jacob whispers something to her, but I wasn't able to catch it.

After all, my focus is on her.

The beautiful woman I decided to live for the rest of my life with. The one and only that made my heart beat again.

Even though she's tired right now and she looks devastated because of what I just told her, she's deadly gorgeous.

It's been thirteen days since I last saw her, the day we were in a car accident and I brought her to the hospital. The day I thought I'd lost her forever.

I was losing my mind.

She was everywhere but nowhere at the same time.

Two days before she woke up, I received a call.

One of my best friends was injured and captured by a rival Mafia.

It was William. By the British Mafia.

Since he was he leader of the American Mafia, they've had problems with the British for generations.

But a thing like this has never happened.

It meant one thing only: war.

And we were all glad to fight for William.

So I decided to have a meeting with each one of my friends: Quinn, Anastasia and Ezra.

My Mafia working once again with the Russian, the French and the Greek. And of course, William's men were under our commands since their leader was taken.

We were elaborating a plan, when Jacob called me.

flashback of the phone call

"Ciao fratello." I reply as I exit the meeting's room, excusing myself.

("Hi brother.")

"Si è svegliata." He says, happy and excited like a little kid.

("She woke up.")

My heart instantly stopped beating and then started beating again. She's able to do that to me.

My beautiful wife is okay. She's awake.

"Sapevo che si sarebbe svegliata. Non si sarebbe mai arresa così facilmente." I say and he chuckles.

("I knew she'd wake up. She would've never given up so easily.")

We exchange a few more words and then hang up.

It feels like my life has a meaning again.

But I have to make things right for William.

And I can't risk losing Violet in the process.

I hate making hard decisions, goddamit.

end of flashback of the phone call

I didn't sleep at night. Knowing she was finally up but I weren't there with her. For her.

What did she think of me? Did she call me a monster? A sick bastard? A piece of shit?

I hope she did. I hope she hates me.

The solution I had think of, was divorce.

Okay, you caught me. We're still not married. But I was going to ask her. And she was my girlfriend. When we started dating she had to sign a few papers, because she was going to date a Mafia Boss. Not some regular shit.

Anyway, I would still protect her by sending some of my men to make sure she's okay, but we wouldn't be together and so she wouldn't be a target.

But how could I live without her? How could I manage to do this everyday?

And now that I'm looking at her after all these days, I know I'm falling even more in love with her.

It's impossible not to.

But I have to do this. I have to let her be as I fight this war.

And so here I am, asking her to sign the papers so we wouldn't be together anymore.

"What?" It's the only thing she manages to say. Her voice is beautiful gosh.

"You sign these papers, so we're no longer together and you promise with your life on Omertà." I say, trying to sound as cold as possible.

Tears fill her eyes. I know baby, I know.

"Go ahead, Violet." I'm sorry baby.

She looks at me in disbelief, like I just stabbed her in the back with all my energy. I think I did.

Then, she grabs the pen and the papers.

I love you Violet.

She signs every paper.

When she's done, she slams the pen on the table and pushes the papers so that they're closer to me than to her.

"I hope you rot in hell." Is the only thing she says, before getting up and walking upstairs.

Silvia follows her.

Jacob runs a hand on his face, as he grabs a bottle of wine and walks away.

Here I am. A stranger in my own house.

And I just lost the only woman I've ever fallen for.

________

Nature is so peaceful. But my mind is total chaos.

Its probably four in the morning, I don't really know or care.

Sleep was never my thing.

I used to stay up and try to solve my problems; when I met Violet, I saw she always slept to avoid hers. That is some soulmate shit.

I was able to sleep when she was around.

Now it's just straight up back to level zero, feels like I'm starting off again.

So I'm currently sitting in the balcony of my room, smoking and observing nature.

Tomorrow I'm going to Italy once again.

I'll have to summarise my plan to my men and then get ready for London, since we will catch the enemy in his own house.

As I'm thinking of this, a small figure crossing the yard catches my eye. Who the fuck?

I let go of the cigarette and step on it, before getting off the balcony.

I soon reach the yard and walk towards the direction of the person.

I get close enough without making a sound, I then reach for my gun and wrap a hand around them, holding their mouth from screaming, while I point my gun at their temple with the other hand.

"Who the fuck are you?" I harshly say and they bite my hand, making me let go of them.

They turn around and face me as I quickly point my gun at them again.

But I'm astonished to see that it was Violet.

"What a drama queen." She says, rolling her eyes.

What the fuck is she even doing up?

"Are you out of your mind? I could've killed you!" I scream at her and she smirks "It would've been so hilarious" She chuckles "I mean can you imagine?" She laughs again.

Ha ha. Fucking funny.

"Go to sleep, Violet." I tell her, lowering my gun into its place on my waistband.

I turn around and begin to walk away, but her voice cuts me off.

"So that's it? You're just gonna disappear from my life?" She asks, I stop in my tracks.

"You're just gonna pretend you never loved me?" She continues and I turn to her.

"There's no such thing as love in my world and you know it." I tell her, acting like I'm pissed off.

"You're so wrong,Blake Federico Ferreri." I know, little one. But it's for the better.

"I've already arranged a house for you, you have your own car and work in an office. It's all ready." I say, glancing around just to avoid eye contact with her.

"You think you can throw me out of your life, just like that?" She snaps and I finally look at her.

So damn beautiful.

"Am I throwing you out of my life?" I ironically say but she gives me a death stare.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair.

"Doesn't really matter what I'm doing, you signed the papers and that was all I needed." I truly admit and she looks into my eyes.

Hoping to find the love I felt for her.

The love you still feel, idiot.

She laughs. What the hell?

"Why are you laughing?" I ask and she brings her hand to her mouth, almost dying out of laughter.

"I'm sorry," She chuckles a little "I hope you know I will make you suffer so damn much." She finishes, not laughing anymore.

"Oh, you're threatening me now?" I say, amused by whatever we're speaking of.

"No. It's a promise, Ferreri." She blows a kiss before leaving me there.

What the hell was that?

If she does something stupid, I'm gonna fucking burn this place. The whole damn world.

Around 8 am

"You know, I'm going to fight this war too." Jacob speaks as we enter the car, the airport is our destination.

"But I'm not leaving Silvia. So why would you leave Violet?" He asks. I swear he talks too much.

"Fucking put your seatbelt on and shut up." I say, clearly irritated by the conversation.

"Oh, I know why. It's because you're so afraid you're gonna lose her, that you prefer letting her go yourself!" He continues and I act as if he isn't there.

But he is right though. I preferred to lose her from the start, than during all of it. And what I did was wrong.

But there's no going back now.

"You're right, brother." I drive off the house and quickly glance at him.

"I chose to lose her from the start and maybe if I didn't, I would've had her in the end." I admit, feeling like a total idiot.

"But I also prefer her being alive and not with me, than with me and dead." I tell him, and silence fills the car.

He knows I wasn't totally wrong for doing what I did, but I also know I wasn't even a bit right to do it.

And now I'm leaving her behind as I go to fight for a man I like to call my own brother, William.

I don't know if I'm still going to be alive, but I know for sure that we're going to win.

As for Violet, I left her a letter. She was sleeping when I entered her bedroom.

Her smell, I can't forget.

Her eyes, I can't forget.

Her lips, I can't forget.

Her damn soul and mind, I'll never forget.

She's an angel. I'm the Devil.

She's a weakness. I'm the Devil.

She's the Devil's weakness.
