Chapter 45 - Lilianna: Model Extraordinaire
JanedoewritingsHello, readers. As you know, this book revolves around the dead spouse trope, so Amy's presence will be felt when it's crucial to the story. Naturally, Marco won't just bounce back overnight—it takes time. It's all about realism and giving his character the depth and respect it deserves. Thanks for sticking with me through this emotional rollercoaster! xoxo

Lilianna »»»◈««« ONE MONTH LATER »»»»◈«««◈»»»◈«««« I stood outside the sleek glass doors of the modeling agency, my heart was pounding with a mix of nerves and excitement. Adjusting my coat nervously, I took a deep breath to steady myself before stepping inside. The reception area was buzzing with activity, models were chatting, agents bustling about, and the sound of heels clicking on the polished floor. I approached the receptionist with a confident smile. "I'm here for the open call," I said, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. The receptionist nodded and handed me a form to fill out. I quickly scribbled down my name, contact information, and measurements before returning the form and taking a seat among the other models. As I waited for my turn, I couldn't help but steal glances at the other models. They were all so effortlessly chic, their presence commanding attention even in casual attire. I smoothed down my own outfit, suddenly self-conscious

Lilianna »»»◈««« Kason swung by to pick me up, and we headed home together. Once we got there, I decided to unwind with a nice, relaxing shower. Afterward, I rummaged through Amy's wardrobe and settled on a pair of soft, comfy pajamas. They were a bit shorter on me, but they felt snug and cozy. I walked upstairs barefoot and made my way to the kitchen. There, I spotted my meal waiting for me on the counter. With a sigh, I pulled out a chair and settled down, glancing around the room. The kitchen was enveloped in silence, the only sound being the faint echo of my footsteps. Most of the lights were off, casting a shadow over everything. It felt eerily quiet, adding to the creepy atmosphere of the empty room. It's been a month, we had no source of communication. Amalia said that he doesn't even talk to them anymore. It seemed like he was shutting out everyone around him, except, of course, for Nikolai Costello. I speared the steak with my fork, ready to take a bite, when the soun

Lilianna »»»◈««« My jaw dropped in disbelief as I glanced at Kason, then at his battered knuckles, and then returned my gaze to his smug expression. It took me a moment to process the news. "I...I can't believe it. This is amazing! When do I start?" "We're excited to have you, Lilianna," Rachel continued warmly. "We'll need you to come in for a fitting next week. Can you make it on Tuesday at 10 AM?" "Yes, absolutely, I can be there," I replied, still in shock. "Great! We'll send you an email with all the details, including the address and what to bring. If you have any questions before then, feel free to reach out." "Thank you again, Rachel," I said, my heart pounding with a mix of disbelief and nerves. "Welcome aboard, Lilianna," Rachel said before hanging up. I slowly lowered the phone, my hands trembling. I looked at Kason, his battered knuckles and smug smile. "Tell me you didn't," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper. He made an even smugger face. "If that's what

Marco »»»◈««« ONE YEAR LATER »»◈««««◈»»»»◈«« I stepped off the plane, my polished shoes making a muted thud against the jet bridge. The familiar, sharp scent of the city greeted me as he walked through the private terminal. It had been a year and a half in Rochester—time spent away from my home and my empire. I moved through the airport like a ghost. I glanced around, taking in the sights and sounds that I had missed in my absence. A line of black SUVs waited for me outside. So much for being discreet. I hadn't told anyone I was coming back. The only people who knew were Niko, Scott, and Lorenzo, and they were enough. But Scott always makes a fucking spectacle out of everything. I sighed and made my way to the lead SUV, where Scott stood with a smug grin on his face. “Welcome back, Asshole,” he said, opening the door for me. “Cut the theatrics, Scott,” I muttered, stepping in front of him. “I thought we were supposed to keep a low profile, especially with the FBI breathing d

Marco »»»◈««« "I'm furious with you," Mum seethed, her frustration palpable in her tone. "How could you not tell me, not call me, not even bother to send a message?" She paused, her voice cracking with emotion. "If it wasn't for Niko, I wouldn't have even known if you were alive. Do you have any idea what it's like to not know if your son is dead or alive? To have to rely on second-hand information?" I reached out and held her hand, "I'm here now." Mum squeezed my hand, her eyes still glistening with unshed tears. "Don't ever do that to me again!" Dad walked into the room, sparing me a disapproving glance before taking his seat in his armchair. "I know how important it was to go underground in the narcotics labs with no contact, but you could have said something before leaving," he said, lighting up his cigar. "I left in a hurry," I said, my voice subdued. "There wasn't time." He took a long drag from his cigar, exhaling slowly. "In a hurry, huh? Or maybe too caught up
Mafia Men V - Marco's Vengeance Chapter 51 - I'm Sorry...
Marco »»»◈««« I stayed still for a few moments, annoyance creeping up inside of me. "I'm sorry," she slurred, wiping her mouth with the back of her arm and reaching out to clean my shirt. Her eyes were hazy, and her movements clumsy. "Stop," I said, my voice firm but low. She blinked up at me, confusion clouding her features. "I didn't mean to..." "I know," I interrupted, trying to keep my frustration in check. I held both of her wrists firmly and stood up, bringing her along with me. She felt so frail, as if she had lost all her weight. Was modeling sucking the soul out of her body? Bowing my head, I shut my eyes tight, trying to rein in my mounting frustration. Taking her along, I led the unsteady Lilianna to the bathroom. She stumbled with each step, her movements clumsy and erratic. How much had she drunk? "Careful," I murmured, steadying her with a firm grip. She glanced up at me, her eyes unfocused and glassy. Once in the bathroom, I guided Lilianna to si

Lilianna »»»◈««« I groaned, my head pounding even before I dared to open my eyes. Hangovers were the worst, but sometimes, you had to do things you'd never do for the sake of the job. Like last night, when I found myself indulging in celebratory drinks just because my casting director insisted on it. Rolling over in bed, I winced at the slightest movement, my stomach churning with every shift. The room spun slightly as I cracked open my eyelids, the harsh light searing through my skull. I reached for the covers, pulling them over my head in a feeble attempt to block out the world. My mouth felt like a desert, dry and parched, as I groaned softly, regretting every sip from the night before. But then, I realized something. I slowly pulled down the covers once more, and a sense of unease washed over me. The beige-colored ceiling looked vaguely familiar. I furrowed my brow, trying to recall where I was, but my mind drew a blank. I jolted up in a seated position as I recognized the roo
Mafia Men V - Marco's Vengeance Chapter 53 - Second Chances
Marco »»»◈««« I never had to care about keeping someone close. My position, influence, and my bank account usually took care of that for me. The bartender approached with a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label and a rocks glass in hand. He set them down in front of me, and without hesitation, I poured myself a generous double shot. Downing it in one swift motion, I welcomed the burn of the alcohol as it washed away the bitter taste of her rejection, if only for a fleeting moment. Second chances? I've never bought into that nonsense. Trusting someone again, believing they'll change? That's nothing but wishful thinking, a waste of time and energy in ninety-nine percent of cases. Don't even get me started on the audacity of it all. It's like expecting a snake not to bite after it's sunk its fangs into you once. Lilianna is not a very trustworthy person. She'll do whatever she pleases as long as she thinks she's safe. The moment she realized I wasn't a threat to her or her b
