Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Alfonso's Sorrow

When Liuxia saw Romeo again, it was already in the cemetery outside St. Mary's Church. Romeo's parents were also buried in this small curtain garden, and Alfonso specially buried their family on the same land. Until now, Liu Xia still couldn't believe that what happened that day was true.When the huge explosion came from the intercom, she clearly saw that Alfonso's face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.But even under such circumstances, he was able to calmly send someone to search for the bomb hidden in the hyacinth, and quickly found out a certain maid who allowed the bomb to sneak in.

Today's sun is particularly bright, and the gorgeous light reminds people of Romeo's warm golden hair. For some reason, she only felt an indescribable cold despite being shone by such a warm sun. Not many people came to the funeral.Apart from Liuxia and Alfonso, there was only Parker who hurried back.Parker wore a pair of tan sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, so he couldn't see his eyes clearly, but the tight and pale corners of his mouth revealed the sadness in his heart.All of Alfonso's emotions were also hidden behind the dark gray lenses. The priest's deep and sad voice echoed above the cemetery, "This world will never end, rest in peace, our brother, your soul, will return to the embrace of God. I will dedicate tears and love to you, we I will never forget the days you spent with us, and one day in the future, I will meet you again in that world forever..."

After the priest finished his eulogy, Alfonso took off his sunglasses first, and stepped forward to put a white rose on Romeo's coffin.He was wearing a long black trench coat today, making his bloodless face as pale as a rose.But as the leader, he seemed to be able to control his emotions quite well. Even Parker's eyes were filled with tears, but there was still no expression on his face. Liu Xia also gently put down the white rose, and the boy with warm golden hair seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.From the guy who hated her at the beginning to this friend who can touch her now, the change of identity seems to be just a short moment.

Every time I get to know him better, I feel closer to him. Unfortunately, God did not give her more time to approach him. "Promise me, you and Liu Xia will work hard to survive." Thinking of the last words he said before he died, Liu Xia couldn't help feeling sour in his eyes, as if something shiny could not help but ooze out from the corners of his eyes.Why didn't she say anything when he left that day.If she could do it all over again, she really hoped that God would give her some more time, just a few seconds, at least for her to say the words "be careful".

Suddenly, she seemed to see that under the cross not far away, the young man was sitting freely on the iron railing, his slender legs dangling restlessly.The breeze blew away his warm golden hair----At that moment, she seemed to return to the time when they first met each other, saw the Holy Mother's kind and beautiful smile again, and heard the angels singing in unison hymn... Perhaps, he is really the angel who sneaked from the sky to the world, and now he is called by the Lord to return to his world. Liu Xia raised her head and looked at the clear blue sky, the warm sunshine penetrated the white clouds, gently hugging the earth, sweeping away the coldness of this world.

It's just that the cold sadness in my heart has never dissipated, and it still stubbornly stays in a small corner. The explosion in the art gallery caused quite a sensation in the local area.When Liu Xia and the others went back, they found that many media reporters had gathered at the gate of the castle.Alfonso asked Lisa to deal with these people, and he took Liu Xia into the castle through the back door. Alfonso was not in the dining room during the evening meal.Naturally, Liu Xia didn't have much appetite for food, so she just drank a cup of coffee and went back to her room. I don't know if it's because of this cup of coffee, but it was still difficult for her to fall asleep until midnight.Tossed and turned on the bed for a while, Liu Xia simply jumped out of the bed, went to the window with bare feet and opened the curtain, a round of crescent moon crashed into her line of sight like this, the bright light pierced her Almost in tears.

After standing silently for a while, she felt a little parched, so she casually put on a coat and was about to go downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When passing by Alfonso's room, Liu Xia was a little surprised to hear some strange sounds faintly coming from inside.She was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and pushed the door.It turned out that the door was only ajar, and it opened with a slight push. In the dark room, Alfonso sat on the sofa with his back to her, still wearing the long black trench coat he wore during the day, and it seemed that he hadn't changed since he got home.The silvery moonlight refracted shattered brilliance on his black hair, his shoulders were twitching slightly, like a robin with broken wings, and those strange sounds that were barely audible sounded more like -----

Liu Xia's eyes widened in disbelief, could it be that Alfonso was... crying? How is this possible? "Who?" Even in this situation, Alfonso's reaction was quite sensitive. "It's me. I'm sorry, I'm just looking at what happened. If it's okay, I'll leave right away..." Liu Xia stepped back while answering, and suddenly heard the other party say in a low voice, "Liu Xia, don't go. Come and accompany me May I sit for a while? Just for a while." His tone sounded as if he had aged several years, and there seemed to be a hint of heart-wrenching sadness in this pleading tone.

Heartache?Liu Xia shook her head subconsciously, as if she felt that it was impossible for her to have such emotions towards him. But the sadness in my heart is too heavy for one person to bear, and it may be lighter for two people to share.Both he and she need someone to share. Thinking of this, she entered the room after hesitating for a few seconds. There were several bottles of spirits on the coffee table of the sofa, and one bottle was already half empty.There is still some clear liquid rippling gently in his glass.Alfonso raised his head, the bloodshot eyes and moist corners of his eyes once again confirmed Liu Xia's conjecture.

"Can you drink?" He handed her a glass of wine, "This is Romeo's favorite Russian vodka, let's drink it with him for the last time." Without saying anything, Liu Xia reached out and picked up the glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. As soon as the strong vodka entered her throat, it rushed into her stomach in a straight line like a fire. The burning feeling made her cough several times. "So you don't know how to drink strong alcohol." Alfonso watched her calmly. "Just drink a little, I'm not so fragile." Liu Xia drooped her long eyelashes, "What's more, didn't we promise to drink together when he came back? I just drank my share."

Alfonso's water-green eyes glowed faintly, "Liu Xia, do you know? If I knew at that time that you would become who you are now, I would have taken you away." "At that time, you didn't want to talk to me at all." Liu Xia bent his lips mockingly, "Didn't you try to get rid of me and run away that day?" "That day... maybe I should have gone home earlier." Alfonso's mind seemed to have drifted to a far away place, yes, that sunny morning, the beautiful Positano forest. "My mother is the sole heir of the Lorenzo family, but she fell in love with a high-ranking member of the EE organization, that is, my father. So she secretly followed him to southern Italy, and then I was born. Originally Our life will continue in this way, but..." He paused at this point, "Maybe these things are too boring for you, I..." "No, Alfonso, go on." Liu Xia stared at him quietly, "It's tiring to keep some things in your heart all the time, maybe it will be easier to say it." Alfonso's eyes seemed to flicker, "That's right, maybe I'm really tired tonight." He opened a bottle of vodka as he spoke, "My father's best friend, Di Gio, is the organization The only decision-maker in Don. On the day I met you, he betrayed Don with his people and killed Don and his most loyal cronies, of course, including my parents. When I went back When I was there, I happened to see my parents swallow their last breath." The cruelty he saw that day was far more than that, but he could no longer calmly repeat it from his mouth. His parents' hands were cut off and hung on the door. This scene has become a nightmare for his whole life... There are also bloodstains on his father's body and terrible bruises on his mother's body. All these tell how his parents suffered. To die of humiliation. When hearing this, Liu Xia couldn't help but gasped. "The scars here are also thanks to them." He touched the hideous scar on his neck intentionally or unintentionally, "But just when they were about to silence me, Don's younger brother Ernesto rushed to rescue me. I." "Then, after that you..." Even though he knew that all this was over, Liu Xia couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him, picked up the glass and drank a few sips of wine to calm himself down.That scar... So that's how it came from.Alfonso he almost died. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt inexplicable distress, inexplicable pity, and inexplicable sadness. It was so inexplicable that even she herself felt inexplicable. "In the following days, we have been avoiding DiGio's pursuit, but fortunately, there are still many people in the organization who do not accept him, so after a year, we waited for a perfect opportunity and successfully ambushed him , regained the power to run the organization. As for DiGio's family, I dealt with them in the same way that they hurt my parents." At the last sentence, Alfonso regained his grim look. "The whole family?" Liu Xia was terrified by the real meaning behind the word.But the strong alcohol seemed to have started to take effect, making her consciousness and sanity gradually blurred... "Yes, including his newborn son. Maybe you will think that I am cruel and inhuman. But since the moment I witnessed the murder of my parents, I have fallen into hell." Alfonso held his glass tightly, "So , When I saw Romeo for the first time, I knew he was of the same kind as me. Perhaps it was I who turned an angel into a demon." "What about Margaret, then?" she blurted out. "So you already know." He lowered his eyelids, "Her father was also a member of our organization, and died under random gunfire by the police in an assassination operation." The room suddenly became silent, and the two looked at each other, but said nothing.At this moment, all words seem to be powerless and superfluous.The moon didn't know when it was hiding in the thick clouds, and the whole world seemed to be left with boundless darkness.In this quiet darkness, she and he silently felt the pain, grievance, and sorrow that each other experienced... In a trance, her consciousness seemed to be becoming more and more difficult to control. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard someone whispering in her ear, "Liu Xia, you see that you are quite drunk, may I take you back to your room?" Touching his cheek with his fingers, there was a bit of ambiguity in the tenderness.The moment the skin touched, it seemed that a strange feeling passed through her body and reached the bottom of her heart, causing a subtle shudder. "Hmm..." She responded in a low voice.Almost at the same time, she fell into a familiar embrace.The strong hands and warm chest of the other party seem to have created a small world for her. In this world, there is no quarrel, no fear, no danger, and there is only peace and tranquility.This feeling is so familiar, as if I have experienced it a long time ago... The moon quietly got out of the clouds and sprinkled a faint brilliance into the room.Liu Xia raised her head half-drunk and half-awake, and vaguely saw the hideous scar on the other party's neck.In her confused mind, she vaguely remembered the words and phrases he had said just now, as if she had been bewitched by some kind, she slowly stretched out her hand to touch the scar.The moment her fingertips touched the scar, his body froze visibly. "It's great..." She murmured, gently outlining the shape of the scar with her fingertips, "It's great that you survived..." Alfonso's body visibly shook slightly, as if he almost couldn't hold her.Out of an instinctive reaction, Liu Xia immediately hooked his neck tightly with her hands, not letting herself fall off.At this moment, she seemed to hear the other person's familiar heartbeat again, so loud, so intense, so fast, as if it would jump out of her chest at any moment... In the next second, she didn't know why she was placed on the bed, and then the other's hot lips impulsively covered hers, and began to invade her territory lingeringly and forcefully. Liu Xia instinctively wanted to avoid his kiss, but her brain burned by alcohol could not give the instruction to refuse, as if there was some voice persistently lingering in a strange place in her body, luring her to become more and more confused intentionally or unintentionally. The senses, the limbs are even soft and unable to exert any strength. "Liuxia...tonight...don't reject me again." His voice suddenly became as charming as a water monster in the Aegean Sea, and the long-suppressed desire was deposited in his water-green eyes.Once this desire is completely released, no one and nothing can stop it. Stared deeply by his eyes, Liu Xia's body seemed to be under a spell, unable to move at all, and all consciousness became more and more blurred.In a daze, she seemed to see a large expanse of white daisies blooming wantonly under the moonlight... just like the forest of Positano where she met him for the first time when she was eight years old. Hot lips fell on her lips like raindrops, on her face, on her body... as if she was trying her best to seek the proof of love, the comfort of pain, the only light in the darkness.His offensive wave after wave, swept away her last consciousness like a sea tide, leaving only the entanglement that could never be explained clearly. It was as if he and she had fallen into the soft white cotton clouds, and each other's clothes gently slid to the ground without a sound.In the clouds, their bodies pressed against each other, their fingers clenched tightly, their breaths intertwined... It was like the same birds flying through the white moonlight... Poisons usually have a gorgeous appearance, and devils are often more seductive than noble angels. And dangerous emotions are always more deadly and tempting than the poisonous mandala blooming in the dark, making people fall quickly in the illusion of plausibility and never extricate themselves.
