Bound By Circumstance: The Mafia's Innocent Bride
Opposite poles
After a tiring day looking after her little patients, Emma decided to take some time for herself before heading home.
Instead of going straight back, she strolled through the streets, enjoying the quiet and solitude. She knew she would be alone at home until her grandparents returned, so she took this opportunity to unwind and clear her mind.
Emma Smith (FL)
Hey guys. I'm back (smile warmly but tired was evident in her face)
Tina
Welcome, Emma Sister🥰 You look worn out. Rough day with the little patients?
Emma Smith (FL)
You have no idea. One of them decided finger paint looked better on me than on paper (chuckle)
Kevin
(laughing) Art is subjective, right? Maybe you're just a walking masterpiece now.
Emma Smith (FL)
If the masterpiece means looking like a rainbow exploded on me, then sure.
Tina
Well, we've got just the thing for that. Your usual?
Emma Smith (FL)
Yes, please. I need all the caffeine I can get. (smile)
Kevin
Coming right up. You know, you should consider a side gig as a living art exhibit. We could display you here.(tease)
Emma Smith (FL)
Only if you pay me in coffee and pastries. (smirk)
Tina
Deal 🤝 How about a blueberry muffin in the house? You deserve it after today.
Emma Smith (FL)
You two are the best. This is why I keep coming back. (smiling)
Kevin
And here we thought it was our charming personalities. (wink)
Emma Smith (FL)
(chuckle) That too, Kevin. That too.
Emma took her coffee and sat outside the coffee shop, where a few chairs were arranged. She loved the outdoor space, where she could watch the lively streets and the hustle and bustle of people going about their lives. Emma was not an indoor person; she found joy in the energy of the world around her.
Emma Smith (FL)
(smell the coffee and smile in relief) Heaven
As she sipped her coffee, she saw a street musician setting up his guitar. He started playing a cheerful tune, drawing the attention of passersby. Children danced around him, and a few people tossed coins into his open guitar case.
Emma Smith (FL)
(smiling and Tapping her feet for the rhythm)
A little further down the street, a mime was performing an act, pretending to be stuck inside an invisible box. His exaggerated expressions and movements made people laugh, and Emma couldn’t help but chuckle as well.
Emma Smith (FL)
(chuckle while sipping her coffee)
A street vendor nearby was selling colorful balloons. Emma watched as a little girl tugged on her mother’s hand, pointing excitedly at the balloons. The mother bought one, and the girl’s face lit up with pure joy as she held onto the string, the balloon bobbing above her head.
Emma Smith (FL)
(Sad seeing mother and daughter love)
When Emma saw the scene of a mother buying a balloon for her daughter, a pang of sadness welled up inside her. She watched the little girl's face light up with pure joy and felt an ache in her heart.
She didn't even know how it felt to have such simple, unreserved happiness, having grown up without those moments of carefree childhood. The bittersweet feeling lingered as she realized how much she longed for that kind of connection and innocence.
Emma Smith (FL)
(tears welled up) It's okay Emma. You can make your own family
Emma Smith (FL)
(diverting her thoughts while looking into the street)
She loved how the streets were a tapestry of stories, each person contributing to the vibrant mosaic.
Despite the tiring day, these simple, happy moments reminded her of the beauty in everyday life.
Emma Smith (FL)
(there she saw a couple with their daughter) I wonder what it feels like to have such simple joy. Maybe one day, I'll find that kind of happiness too. For now, I guess I'll just keep looking for it in the little moments. (sighed softly and murmured to herself)
As she finished her coffee, Emma felt recharged. She knew she had a quiet, empty house waiting for her, but these moments of connection with the world around her were enough to fill her heart

On the other side of the world
The basement was a dim, foreboding chamber, its only light coming from a single, flickering bulb hanging from the low ceiling
The air was thick with the stench of mildew and fear, mingling with the faint, metallic scent of dried blood
Rusted chains and shackles were bolted to the damp, cold stone walls, their purpose clear and chilling.
Jean (hotel staff)
(screaming and begging) Please leave me. I beg you, Prince. Or let me die at least
Every creak of the floorboards and distant echo from above heightened the sense of dread, making it a place where hope and mercy were foreign concepts.
In the dark room, a broad and burly man sat in a heavy, old chair, a glass of whiskey cradled in his massive hand. He emitted a dangerous aura, his presence alone enough to make the air feel heavier. The flickering bulb casts eerie shadows across his scarred face, highlighting the cold, calculating look in his eyes.
Across from him, a man hung from the ceiling by his wrists, his face bruised and bloodied. The room was silent except for the occasional drip of water and the soft clink of the whiskey glass against the chair.
He then set the glass down on a nearby table with a deliberate clink. Rising from his chair, he moved towards the table cluttered with menacing tools, his steps measured and ominous. He picked up a rusted pair of pliers, turning them over in his hands thoughtfully
???
(standing dominantly) You know (his voice low, gravelly whisper that seemed to echo off the walls)
???
Betrayal is a nasty business. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
He approached the hanging man, who struggled weakly against his bonds, eyes wide with terror.
With a sudden, almost casual motion, the burly man clamped the pliers onto one of the victim's fingers.
???
(leaned close) You really should have thought twice before crossing us.
Jean (hotel staff)
(Begging) I'm sorry prince. Mr Moretti please show some mercy
Jean (hotel staff)
(scream pierced the air, a horrifying sound that mingled with the man's dark chuckle.)
Stepping back, Luca placed the pliers back on the table and reached for a knife, its blade glinting menacingly in the dim light.
Luca Moretti (ML)
And now, we move on to lesson number two (his voice dripping with sadistic pleasure)
The room seemed to close in, the walls echoing with the agonized cries of the tortured, each sound a testament to the dark, twisted deeds that took place in this hellish basement.
