Dead but living

Vanora Campbell
I woke up to the pain in between my legs.
The dawning realization of last night hit me as I slowly sat up on the bed.
I looked around, noticing I was still on Zavi's bed and he was nowhere to be found. I looked down at myself, I was wrapped up in a clean, white oversized dress shirt. I blushed, he'd put it over my head when I slept.
He was a sex demon, he almost destroyed me beneath. But it was awesome, my first night was how I managed it.
The door opened and I smiled when I saw him walking in with a tray in his hands.
He flashed his sweet smile at me and dropped the breakfast on the bed.
He kissed the crown of my head, "Good morning, amore mio."
I kissed his cheek, "Good morning to you too, honey."
He blushed, aww Zavi is blushing, I didn't think I would see this day.
I opened the plate and my eyes widened when I saw several kinds of food on each plate.
"Did you make all these?." I asked him.
"Yes, I did. Although Alec helped a little," He picked my hands, "I'm glad you're the first person to eat my food."
"This is your first time cooking?." I teased, he looked away embarrassedly. He's shy, he looks so innocent.
I picked up the spoon and put a spoonful into my mouth, and chewed slowly, it's not bad for a first timer.
I dropped the spoon and looked into his eyes. He looked nervous and curious.
"Thank you for serving me breakfast, Zavi. I really appreciate it."
"Is it good?Should I bring more?."
I scoffed, "Don't worry. Your food is nice."
"Is it?It's horrible." Alec said from the door. We both looked at him, he was standing with a plate.
I sighed, "Good morning, Alec."
Before he could answer, another female walked in with another plate.
"This food is not tasty at all."
I think I know her, I mean what is she doing here?.
I frowned when I recoiled, she was that girl in Scotland, the one who had a bad vibe with me.
"Well, I didn't make that for you two." Zavi said with sarcasm.
"Hi, Nora." She waved, totally ignoring Zavi.
"Hi….uh.."
"It's Irene."
I shook my head, "Oh."
"Irene was a spy that told Davina all the things he did." Alec started.
"I'm the reason you're alive." She chipped in.
"Well, partially because you did what you have to do to save your ass." Zavi growled, not liking that she was taking all the credit.
I nodded, rubbing his hand to calm him down, "Fine. Thank you, Irene for saving my ass back then, hope you know we both started with a bad energy?, I'll try and push that aside."
I look at Zavi,"I know I totally ignored this for awhile but if we both are gonna be having sex, I hope you avoid your sluts, especially the gambino bitch."
Alec chuckled and asked.
"You both had sex?."
I forgot they were still here.
"You both, give us some minutes."
He shrugged and mumbled, "Okay."
Finally, both of them were out of the room.
"Why would I leave a sweet pussy to fuck std infected ones?." Zavi countered.
I scoffed, "You didn't know that before digging her?."
"I used a condom. And now that I have you, I want it rawr."
He kinda turned me on with that, my breath hitched and I looked away, hiding my blushed cheeks.
"Do you want us to fuck again, baby?." He asked, when I looked up, I let out a gasp as to how close our faces were. His icy eyes looked into mine, my mouth was dry, I was unable to reply to him, unable to move an inch.
In a sec, his lips were on me, his touches hot and searing against my skin.
I moaned as his lips kissed their way to my collarbone, biting my flesh as my hand dug his hair, now I know why women wouldn't leave him alone. Everyone wanted a second chance, everyone wanted to fuck him.
Quickly I pushed him away forcefully, confusion crossing his face.
"I'm sorry but we have to go somewhere together, I mean today."
He nodded and silently withdrew from me. I stepped out of the bed, ignoring the pain in between my legs. I was still sore from yesterday and he wanted more?.
"Where do you want to go?." He asked as I grabbed his towel.
"You'll find out when we get there." I made my way into the bathroom.

2 hours later.
***
As we drove through the road to my family house in Italy, I couldn't help but get scared. I didn't know what I was going to find there, I didn't know how my body was going to react to the memories I had left behind.
I wanted to see but didn't want to. My mom had been buried in the backyard, our house was a small building. We didn't have much but we lived fine. The small house was a mansion to us as long as we were content and happy.
Driving through the gate, the place looked deserted. Everywhere looked the same as we left it, the compound looked unkempt and glasses grew up by the corner.
I held his hand, "This was where I grew up, Zavi." I told him quietly.
I led him up to the front porch of the house and pushed the dusty door open.
I looked around as we stepped in, "I wanted to tell you this while we're alone, I'm not exactly my father's daughter. Somehow I was a product of rape and my real father is Matteo's father. He killed my mother and wanted to kill me too because he had a rough life as a boy. We both were products of rape but somehow he thinks my life was easier than his. He felt cheated and wanted revenge, but it didn't stop the fact that he murdered my mom. I'll make sure he pays dearly for it."
All the time I narrated this to Zavi, he kept quiet, watching me closely.
I walked into my room, the room I sometimes shared with my mom, we had a very great connection with each other. I loved her so dearly.
My eyes met the old dirty flower pot on my window. It was my birthday present from mom. The flowers were all dead and the pot was dirty. Looking out of the window, you would see my mom's grave.
I carried the pot, the only thing that reminded me of mom and exited the room, we had my mom buried in our little garden.
As I walked closer, Zavi followed me behind. I stopped in front of the grave, squatted down, and robbed my hand on the grave.
I smiled,"I missed you, mom."
"I wonder how you've been doing but don't worry about me, I'm fine. I also believe that Julie's fine wherever she is."
I slowly placed the flower pot on top of the grave.
"I'm sorry I didn't bring some flowers."
I stood straight and held Zavi's hand.
"I brought someone, I wanted you to see him." I smiled at Zavi as he gave a small bow at my mother's grave.
"You have a nice daughter, Mrs Campbell." He said and looked at me.
"And I promise to protect her until I die."
I squeezed his hand softly as his icy eyes grazed mine sadly.
"I promise to love and cherish her until I die."
He raised my palm to his lips and kissed it softly.
There was silence.
"There's something I wish to say, Nora."
I nodded.
Just when he opened his mouth to speak, a call interrupted him.
"I…"
I cut him off as he ignored the call.
"Answer, Zavi. I can always wait."
He looked down at his phone and answered.
"You have to come now." I knew it could be Alec.
"What's going on?."
"Your sister and father are here."
