Mafia's Little Pearl
"You're one interesting girl my princess," he said. At the same time, his eyes peered into mine as his hands slipped into my dress tracing my legs up to my upper thigh.
My bare back pressed against the wall feeling the touch of his palm on my skin which sent tingling shivers down my spine and for some reason, I felt a smile creep up on my lips. "And you aren't a Saint either".

Chapter: Hundred: Epilogue Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also.

Chapter: Ninety nine: The end Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was

Chapter: Ninety eight: I love you Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri

Chapter: Ninety seven: Villa Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer

Chapter: Ninety six: Alcohol Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out

Chapter: Ninety five: Matrix 2Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don

Chapter: Fifteen AVENA It felt like the world had slipped away, and it was us two, just like in my memory. Isaac's lips were soft, moving possessively on mine as he poured in feelings he had been holding back into it. I didn't expect it to be like this. It was not like I had ever imagined him kissing me, either. Well..that was a lie. I had actually. The same day he had kissed, Linda was the same day I had imagined what it'd be like and how long it would take before it happened. But I was wrong. Here we were already. My heart pounded in my chest as Sage purred in excitement, urging me to deepen the kiss, to move my fingers around him and to grind my body against his toned one. I didn't even know I was capable of such thoughts until now and I had to say that the mate effect was more powerful than I imagined. Just as I inched further giving in, he broke the kiss.I was disappointed. I opened my eyes when his lips pulled away to see Linda strut away from where she was with the Ridger twins. Most peopl

Chapter: Fourteen AVENA"The f*ck is wrong with today? It just keeps getting worse." Isaac cursed holding me tightly. I looked to see his narrowed eyes at Marco while Marco ignored him, looking at me. "How're you, Avena? I saw you in the hallway." Marco said to me. He was dressed in a blue shirt and black pants with his hair neatly styled. The hallway we were in was empty, with the only thing in view being the purple and white decorations which adorned the surroundings. The posters of some specialized classes were hung around, signifying where the classes were held. Isaac ignored Marco, dragging me to walk past him. "Langston I just want to know if she's okay, damn. Why are you so furious today?" Marco asked, making Isaac stop in his tracks and turn back to him. I sighed, knowing where this was heading already. Marco was smiling now as Isaac stepped closer to him and Isaac's unamused face seemed to make Marco's more excited, making me wonder if Marco actually was trying to check up on me or just d

Chapter: Thirteen AVENA "Someone has beautiful glowing eyes right now," Linda said. Her sly smirk beautified her red lips as she held my shoulder pushing me further into the lockers. The Ridger twins were behind her, arms folded in their matching black dresses watching us. My claws were unsheathed now and Sage was half in control. "What do you want, Linda?" I asked with a shaky breath, trying my best to hold Sage in knowing how ferocious she could be and how she would tear them down to pieces without thinking twice. "What I want? How about you start with telling us why you attacked the UPC yesternight." Linda said as she stepped closer to me. "Right girls?" She asked turning both ways to look at the twins and they nodded in response. By now everyone's attention was starting to be on us and a little crowd had started forming. I took a huge breath and shut my eyes for a brief moment. 'Now is not the time, Sage. I don't want to break the school rules.''F*ck the school rules. Let me out'. Sage repli

Chapter: Twelve AVENA It was the next day and Aunt Mona and Caro were dressing me up for the opening ceremony. I couldn't tell if I was happy to be attending the ceremony or not. The previous night's incident had calm down and the injured shifters were already starting to get back on their feet. Philly had informed us that the Alphas had concluded that the UPC was safe enough to still have the ceremony and that's why it hadn't gotten canceled. "You look fabulous my love," Aunt Mona complimented making me blush. "I'm sure Isaac would be thrilled to see you."Caro nodded in agreement, "Yes he would." Caro spoke for the first time to my hearing. I had learnt that she rarely spoke and when she did, she ensured it was as soft and low as possible. Her unique ability was having a high pitched voice which could be deafening and distracting when used during fights. Having a unique ability was what every Nyxian blood had and they had all discovered theirs once they were over ten years old. But here I was, e

Chapter: Eleven ISAACFather's Beta left the throne room as soon as I walked in and I stood, the scent of old wood and burning candles engulfing my nostrils while I waited for him to utter a word. Mother came into the room after me, quick on her heels and took her seat right beside father. Instead of it being a set of parents having a little talk with their teen kid, it felt like I was in a kind of judgment room awaiting my punishment.Father's expression was stoic, his fingers tapping the arm of the chair he sat on impatiently. He took a heavy sigh before finally speaking."You will not be mated to a Lunaria pack member bearing a Nyxian blood"."You dare say the moon goddess made a mistake, father?" I questioned immediately."Isaac!" Mother scolded, her gaze annoyed."You were born on the night of the blackmoon so as she was. That is already something unfortunate," Father stated and I felt Thor howl in anger. "And the calamity which her father, the previous Alpha committed before he died is another

Chapter: TenAVENAAs soon as the words left my mouth, Isaac dragged me away from the crowd and out of the cafeteria. He took me and we went into an empty classroom, then he shut the door behind me, bolting it from inside.I bit my lower lip nervously as I watched him come slowly to where I stood, his piercing eyes narrowing at me and the intensity making my heart skip a beat."What's with you and that f*cking d*ckhead Marco? And why does he appear around you every f*cking time?" He asked. Even though his voice was low and husky, I could tell he was angry—a quiet, burning kind of anger—through our developing bond link. I could also feel the possessiveness in it and the slight jealousy as well.But it didnt mean I wasn't confused as sh*t as to how he was acting."You've been nothing but rude to me since I came back," I started, counting on my fingers.

Lilith Addiction(A mafia book)
He closed the gap between us and his hand travelled to my waist, pulling me closer to himself. His cologne filled my nostrils and he cupped my face in his hand gently. The look in his eyes whenever he looked at me always seemed like he was watching something so ethereal and now wasn't any different.
I was supposed to hate him, to not be able to stand him. But why was I letting him do this? And why did I like it too? Love it even?
He smirked at me, leaning down with our lips almost touching, his minty breath fanning my face. "I'm fucking addicted and obsessed with you if you haven't noticed." He paused as he studied me while I took a deep breath. "Are you sure you can't stand me?" He asked. "Or are we going to keep on lying to ourselves, babydoll?"

Chapter: Chapter 46~ VITTORIA ~"Shit," I said turning to look at Roman. He held my hand immediately and I saw him take out a gun with his other hand."It's going to be okay. I'm not letting anything happen to you." He assured me and I could see it in his eyes that he meant what he said which made me trust him more. Our car sped up while Roman and Nicola started to shoot at where the car which was attacking was.The whole thing was becoming more fierce and the ride was becoming bumpy. In less than 2 minutes, the car behind us which had Roman and Uncle Quinto's men crashed into a pole making a halt. "Don't stop driving, Gio!" Roman commanded. "Vittoria babydoll, are you okay?" He asked scanning from my hair down to my body and I nodded swiftly. I hadn't noticed how tight I had clutched to him or the reason why I had because I mean I was Vittoria, the Lilith, not a girl who couldn't take care of herself. But here I was anyway, acting like I hadn't earned that nickname myself. Two more of our cars fill

Chapter: Chapter 45~VITTORIA ~ I woke up in Roman's bed, again. This was something I was not going to get used to anytime soon. We had not addressed what had happened at Simone's house a few days ago and he didn't look like he was going to talk about it so I just kind of let it be. The day after that, he had come back acting like his usual self, flirty and annoying. He had even gotten me a couple of gifts while coming back home and I thought that was sweet of him. Yesterday evening, he had met me in the kitchen, making coffee which I had planned to use to keep me awake while I worked. And somehow we had started flirting and the flirting had turned into kissing him and now I was awake the next day in his bed. How I had just given in to him made me realize how much I had missed him from the last intimate night we shared and I found myself this morning wanting more of him even. He was snoring softly behind me as he moved a little, I turned around gently to face him. He had his arm on me and in his slee

Chapter: Chapter 44~ROMAN~"I can say I'm sorry I brought up mum," North said and it was taking every amount of self-control in me to stop me from hitting him."You love being his little pet, don't you?" I asked him and I saw him roll his eyes. I hated it when he was like this. And by this, I meant thoughtless and fucking annoying. "I'm just obeying him. I'm seeing reasons with him." North replied with a little shrug. As if that was the most sane thing to do with father.Cleto and Diego were stood in a corner listening and trying their hardest not to interfere, as they knew best. The opened bottles of alcohol and wine were left untouched on the meeting table because as soon as we had tried to drink together, this fool had decided it was the best time to piss me off. "It's something simple. If we take over the Bellucci territory and vote them out of their power rank with the support of the other families, their routes, casinos, clubs... casinos lost especially are going to be ours and-"Before he could

Chapter: Chapter 43~VITTORIA~I walked into the sitting room and scoffed, making them notice my presence. Sore enough they weren't happy to see me. Simone was sitting there together with three other men who were from other mafia families of lower rank. They had also been present at the meeting when Bianchi was killed by Roman."Y'all seem to be having a fun conversation," I told them looking from one person to another. And making sure I said it in the rudest tone I could use. "I mean since Tiziano's name was mentioned, it sparked my interest a little bit too much.""Always that damn mouth of hers," One of them spat out giving me a dirty look from head to toe."I told you." Another chipped in, in a low tone."You fuckin-""Vittoria," Roman called out softly, cutting me off and grabbing my hand. I had forgotten he was even there with me."I'll take care of it from here." He assured."Yeah, you better. I wouldn't want to deal with a woman's whining today." The first man commented once more."Say a sentence

Chapter: Chapter 42~VITTORIA~The sun rays from the window which crept into the kitchen every morning were starting to make me look forward to drinking coffee on the kitchen counter every morning. And I couldn't lie, I loved it every single time. I had even bought two plants a week earlier and positioned them next to the window and so far, they had been doing quite well for themselves. In addition to Roman always remembering to water them each time. Something I always seemed to forget."You know, you really don't have to come with me to Ontario just for that," I told Roman the next morning as he dropped a coffee mug in front of me after taking a quick sip from it. "I'd just go and be back in a quick while.""Thank you," I added.He dropped a plate of waffles which he had just finished making in front of me too, dropped with his coffee as well before taking a seat in front of me. "I wouldn't want you to miss my presence so much, baby doll." He responded in a casual tone, winking at me.I rolled my eyes a

Chapter: Chapter 41~VITTORIA~I woke up the next morning and reached for my nightstand to check the time with my eyes still closed. I couldn't find it neither could I find my phone and it was only then that I felt someone holding me closely and warm breaths fanning my neck. And it was Roman. The whole previous night flooded my memory and I remained indifferent, trying to make the decision of how I was going to get away quietly without waking him up. The last night was incredible, I admitted and it was something I hadn't seen coming either. I enjoyed it as well but the lingering feeling of guilt I had in me wouldn't fade away for some reason. It was like I was reliving the past all over again, only that Isabelle's death had already kind of happened. I looked over slowly at him and he had his eyes still closed. I took a huge breath before gently taking his hand up and away from me. I had not even started getting up before his hand wrapped around my body and drew me closer to himself again. To my shock
