Hit me with your thoughts and theories🙃. What did everyone think of Alessandro? The capos? Alexxis? Jasmine? Geneva? Edwina? Raffaele? I appreciate all who have read and supported my story from the start🥺🥺 and I am looking forward to seeing you all in the second book where Raffaele and Edwina's story continues🤭☺. A big thank you to all and I really cannot wait to see you all once again. Looking forward to seeing you all on the other side💜💜💜.

Raffaele Something seems to be disturbing my Tesoro and knowing her I know that she is too stubborn to tell me unless she is ready to talk about it. I cannot help but shake off the feeling that she is hiding something from me and does not want me to find out probably the reason why she has been acting all strange ever since we landed in Italy. One thing about me is that I have been trained to read emotions and feelings and I can tell when someone is lying to me about something she has been doing to me for the past few weeks but I have done my best not to seem bothered while deep inside I feel quite livid. I love Edwina but lying is where I draw the line when it comes to having a relationship with someone and as much as I want to act oblivious to her actions I can't help that feeling in my gut that is telling me that she is indeed hiding something from me. I close the door to our room and make my way down to my office to go through some work calling Gio to join me for a little chat.

Edwina Tonight is the night. I will have my driver on standby waiting to take to to the airport and make sure to keep Raffaele away from this or someone will die tonight Bellissima. Make sure to do as you are told to avoid someone's blood being on your hands. xx yours truly. Immediately after I read the message on my screen my blood runs cold knowing that tonight is the night I will be leaving Raffaele to protect him and his men. I try my best to regulate my breathing not wanting to have a full-blown full-blowback with Raffaele just a few steps away from me in the shower with no clue in the world to what is going on. "Hey, are you okay?" comes Raffaele's voice drawing my attention far away from my phone screen to see him standing and already dressed as he buttons up his dress shirt. "Yeah, "I force out shutting off my phone screen and tossing my phone away to avoid any suspicions. One thing I have learned from this lifestyle is the art of hiding my emotions to avoid any suspicio

EdwinaI remain frozen on the spot my eyes meeting Raffaele's darkened gaze as he winces in the process clutching onto his shirt which seeps blood."Cosa è successo?"yells Eleanora her face morphing into a giant frown as she makes her way son who leans against the counter with Giovanni to his left and Rodriguez to his right."I'm fine madre,"grunts out Raffaele clearly in pain as Eleanora genlty kisses his forehead his green orbs never leaving mine."Thank God you are here the man is as stubborn as they come princessa and only you will be able to help him clean up since he does not want anyone next to him,"comes Alessandro's voice from beside me making my gaze shift from Raffaele to him.I nod my head in response no words being able to leave my mouth as I slowly walk up to Raffaele who stares at me a slight frown on his face. I notice the way Gio nods his head in reassurance as I gently take Raffaele's hand in mine."How about I get you cleaned up,"I tell him softly all eyes on our li

Edwina Immediately I head out of Raffaele's office I make my way across the house holding my new phone box in my hand. I shake my head in amusement chuckling at how Raffaele loves to spend money on me without a doubt not realizing that Vincenzo is standing right across from me. "Should I be worried that you are laughing by yourself?" he asks amusement shining in his eyes. "Maybe, "I tell him a smirk making its way onto my lips. Vincenzo just smiles at me in amusement making his way around me to head wherever he is going. "Where are you going?"I ask him curious to know where he is headed. "Just headed out to sort out some business," he says not giving me room to respond as he walks further away. I make my way to Raffaele's room where I sit on the bed thinking about what Raffaele's phone call could be about since he was quick to mention that it was nothing when I asked him. "Damn I need to find something to do today, "I murmur to myself sighing in the process when my thoughts ar

Raffaele Immediately the question leaves my mouth, I observe and notice the way Edwina's body freezes her eyes flashing with slight panic before she quickly composes herself. I try not to read deep into it considering how of late I have made her think I do not trust her while in a real sense it is quite, in fact, the opposite. I trust her with my life and the last thing I would want is to draw us further apart and push her away. "Come here, "I tell her softly my piercing gaze matching hers and she hesitantly walks towards me standing a couple of steps away from me. "Closer Tesoro, "I say my voice going an octave deeper not liking the small distance between us. She does as I say stepping closer to me and I am quick to pull her into my lap her legs straddling me. Her sweet lilac scent fills my senses and I almost go crazy burying my face into her neck and pulling her closer to my body her scent slowly calms my racing nerves. "You smell divine Tesoro, "I growl out gently peppering

JASMINE'S POVWhat's your problem man? You need to chill," says the guy my gaze zeroing on Aiden who stands behind him looking all devious and handsome in his leather jacket his hair all tousled up. Like who does he think he is to show up and randomly make rude comments to the lovely guy I am talking to? "No need to be rude Aiden he is being a decent guy and giving me company, "I scoff irritated with Aiden's behaviour. "Wait, you know the guy?" asks the random guy his eyes searching mine. "Yeah, I do. We happen to go to the same school, "I replied nodding my head in the process. "Look man, I will not ask you again. You need to leave," growls out Aiden startling the guy who looks at me unsure to leave me alone with him. "I'll be fine don't worry, "I tell him offering him a small smile to which he nods his head and leaves. I turn away to look over the balcony as I feel Aiden's presence behind me as he remains silent the sound of blaring music blending in somewhere in the ba

JASMINE'S POVThe rest of the night goes smoothly and of course, I end up beating people's asses in the game which if I am being totally honest was not that difficult since I have grown up gaming my whole life with Jer. Of course, Aiden was beyond surprised at my ability to constantly keep winning although he kept on calling me a cheat. Eventually, everyone left to go to their homes leaving Jer and me behind to clean up. "Goodnight Jer, "I yell slamming my bedroom door shut once we are done as I get under the covers my eyes meet familiar darkness. The next day is a Friday and the day goes by in a blur surprises throughout the day Aiden is nowhere to be seen. It is now nighttime as Nat, Roly and I are preparing to go to a school party at one of the student's houses that they are forcing me to go to. "Come on Jas you need to let loose a little and join us at this party," says my best friend as she rampages through my wardrobe looking for something I could wear. "But I would rat

JASMINES POVOn reaching the house Roly and Tyler are already there as we walk through the door their eyes meet ours. "Well if it isn't the two lovebirds," says Tyler amusement shining in his eyes."Ignore him, "I tell Aiden who does not even seem bothered by Tyler's comment. "Then explain why you and he were making out," says Roly not quite amused thinking that I have kept a secret from her."Wait what?" says Tyler shocked and I sigh, "We stopped for ice cream and no he and I did not make out that would be gross. He is not my type.""Glad to know the feeling is a mutual muffin," murmurs Aiden as he makes his way over to join Tyler on the couch."I still do not believe you," says Roly her arms crossed against her chest."Your loss, "I shout running up the stairs to change into some more comfortable clothes."Oh hey Jas," says Jer as I bump into him a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes attached to his arm. "Uh," I say confused as I stare between the two of them.I have to admit tha

JASMINE'S POVI wake up to the sound of a moving truck and it's probably our neighbours moving as I lazily drag myself out of bed. I feel a sharp pain in my lower abdomen causing me to clutch my stomach and groan in discomfort. I make my way into the bathroom as I stare at my reflection in the mirror and to be honest I look like utter and complete shit.My hair looks like a bird's nest, my eyes have bugs underneath and my skin is surprisingly pale. I am in the middle of brushing my teeth when another wave of pain hits me causing me to almost lose my balance as I grip the sink with all my strength.I count the number of weeks in my head when it hits me that my periods are indeed around the corner and this would explain the death-like cramps taking over my body. I take in deep shallow breaths undressing and getting into the bathroom and I am right when I notice red dots of blood in the middle of my shower.I end up taking slightly longer to shower feeling my moods already all over the pl

JASMINE'S POV' How about I go dress up and we leave,' he says suddenly detached as he excuses himself leaving me sulking in place wondering what the hell just happened. I sigh finishing up my breakfast and putting our plates into the dishwasher as I wait for Aiden to come back down.A couple of minutes later he comes back down carrying our stuff dressed in a gray pair of sweatpants and a shirt that clings to his muscular body. He has his sunglasses on hiding his eyes but from the way his jaw clenches I can tell he is still somehow in a mood.' Did I say something wrong?' I ask him puzzled by his behaviour but he doesn't answer me making his way outside to put our stuff into the car my face scrunching up into a frown.' Rude,' I mutter heading back up to do a double sweep of the room and make sure that nothing was left behind.Once I confirm we haven't left anything I make my way to the car where Aiden is already waiting as he opens the door for me to get him. The small gesture warms

JASMINE'S POVA moment of tense silence passes between us before Aiden goes ahead,' Riley and I dated a while back so technically she happens to be my ex-girlfriend.'Once those words leave his lips I frown now understanding why she was completely aggressive towards me. I try to pull away and give myself space to process this information but Aiden does not let me pull me closer to him my leg now draped over his thigh.'She is the first girl who I have ever been in a serious relationship with and surprisingly I happened to love her. We dated for over a year until one night we headed out for one of her friend's parties. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, people having fun and everything till I noticed that Riley had all of a sudden strayed from my vision of sight for quite some time. I had already had a couple of drinks as I went to search for her already worried that she was nowhere in sight. So I checked all the rooms only to enter one of the rooms that was at the furthest end whe
