Chapter: FinalePiers's loud shout made the hall fall silent. For a minute, every head in the room swivelled to stomp in the doorway.Even Lucien Delano and Proserpina, absorbed as they were in their burning need to lose themselves in their desperate need for each other, stopped. Proserpina blinked as she turned to look, safe as she was, nestled in her lover’s strong embrace. And the Mafia Don scowled in annoyance, muttering,“What is with that fool boy?’Piers whipped his head to face his parents across the room, an arm around Hila, holding her to his chest as he cried, "Mumma! Pappa!’And when he was hurrying to them, his eyes were wild with excitement as he cried in joy, dragging his lover beside him,‘I…you… I mean… Mumma, I’m going to be a dad!”Proserpina was out of her husband’s protective arms as her son whooped and threw his arms around her, laughing with him. Lucien watched drily as Claude and Ria immediately crossed to him, pulling him into a huddle. Tara joined them, and after a pause, so

Chapter: “I wanted to meet the father of my child…”LucienHe began to make his way slowly through the milling throng of his guests to where his Woman was standing, in a daringly backless gown, her beautiful body making his staff harden with desire. Ria and Tara had chosen the slinky gown for her. When Proserpina had protested in embarrassment, her hands on her pink cheeks, the girls had declared,‘Mumma! Even after eight kids, you still look WOW!’It had been one of those rare weekends when Tara had come home. Ria had little Jamie on her lap, jiggling the fat little girl who was cooing at her Pappa, for the Mafia Don was hands down, her favourite person. Jamie was the apple of the Don’s eye, as Ria often teased her father.Lucien, who had been in the bedroom working on his phones and tablet, had been watching them in amusement.After the heart attack, mild though it had been, he had taken to spending time at home, working from his office or sometimes, his spacious bedroom.‘Please…but it’s BACKLESS!” Proserpina had gone on, her eyes m

Chapter: True LoveA love like the kind her parents shared was almost like a fairytale…She sighed and touched her small belly. Big Philippe placed his large warm hand over hers and whispered concernedly in her ear,“Princess?”She looked up into his dark eyes and felt the rush of affection, of love that kept them bound to each other. Philippe, the Capo would bring the Moon and place it at her feet if she asked for it, she thought and unmindful of the crowds milling around her, the sound of glasses clinking, the chatter of people as, Ria reached up and pulled his head down. Murmuring against his lips,‘Philippe Diaz, I love you,” as she kissed him.***Piers Delano was staring at his phone. His mind was on other matters, although he had turned up for the party after his twin’s wedding ceremony. It had been a brief ceremony; Philippe had been born a Catholic, so there had been a small wedding service at Church. Old man Diaz had passed away a few years ago, and Philippe’s brothers, both of whom had been a

Chapter: A few Years laterA few years later.The years have been kind to him, thinks the Don fondly as he surveys the guests at his daughter’s wedding party.Lucien Delano has aged but in his predictably indomitable manner, he looks and of course, his wife is testimony to the fact, that he still behaves in the same manner as he used to.His still-muscular physique belies his years and he continues to practice in his gym and has a friendly bout of boxing in the Ring, off and on. His son Claude is now an established name in the world of boxing, simultaneously running the underground fight clubs he has set up, and partnered with Paddy.

He has made his millions through his arms dealings, a

Chapter: JamieLucienHe looked at his Woman fondly. She was on the bed, her head lowered to the baby at her nipple, the little child whose brown curls were bobbing as she sucked hard at her mother’s swollen teat.Proserpina wore a look of divine bliss, and Lucien moved over to her, taking her chin in his hard grip and kissing her.It was all he could do, for she had been spending almost a month at the hospital now. A month during which the Mafia Don had practically lived in the hospital too, his only concern being his Woman.And of course, the littlest child of his, who had charmed him already, though she was too small, too tiny to utter a word. Yet she could be ear-splittingly loud, too!He found himself staring in wonder as the baby yawned, exposing her small toothless gums, pink in colour, as he watched her face adoringly. And when Proserpina laughed at him, at the way he fawned over his youngest daughter, the Mafia Don growled at her, his eyes hungrily wandering over her.“Woman, I want to bree

Chapter: “She hasn’t seen her littlest babe yet!’RiaShe was running down a corridor that stretched out endlessly. The sound of the man’s footsteps thundering after her made her pant in fear. He was after her. She stumbled and fell, picked herself up, and kept running, her hands reaching out in the dark for some door, some way out of this place. And then, suddenly, out of the blue, she grabbed a shirt sleeve.The face of the man looked up in front of her.She screamed as Dusak’s face appeared out of the gloom, grinning maniacally.He had blood pouring down his forehead and a large hole in his cheek where he had been shot. But he opened his mouth and spoke in a guttural voice she knew she had heard before.“LOVELY Ria, my Ria, I am going to be with you forever now...'He reached out a long skeletal hand with talons, and that was when Ria screamed.Dusak Rudenko began shaking her throat ungently, and she felt a gurgle of panic erupt within her. A deep fear, unnamed and unknown.And then Philippe’s voice came into her consciousness, be

Chapter: Bianca: SavedBianca had thrown up all over the posh snow shoes of one of the men who had been trying to drag her away. the other man had stepped off, swearing at her. But she was too far gone. Weary, wretched and now, to be dragged away to die? At the hands of these two thugs? Her body rebelled, and she flayed her arms pathetically.Only the thought of her son made her put up a fight, weakened as she was.It made the man who was trying to hold her reach down to grip her arm and twist. The other man pulled her up, holding her in a bruising grip. Bianca raised her head and screamed, but all that came out was a mournful keening.And that was when she and her captors saw the large police cruiser speeding towards them, lights flashing blue and red, sirens screaming. With one last attempt to pull her away, the men gave up as the figure of a large, tall blonde man stepped out. barely bothering to slam his door shut, the tall, muscular figure moved forward purposefully, taking aim, and she heard her woul

Chapter: Bianca: Woman In Danger!!!Rudy was racing down the road, as fast as he could go in the driving snow. beside him, Lima O’Grady sat, his lips a white line, staring outside. His drink-addled brain had strangely enough, cleared as he realised the enormity of his blunder. Under his breath, he muttered, over and over,“Never again, I swear on all that’s holy, swear on Jaysus, I’ll never look at another woman…Sweet Jaysu, bring my Pet back to me…to us…”Rudy glanced at him and could not resist sneering. He had been given an outline about what had taken place, but with his keen observations, he had put two and two together easily.“Bit late in the day for that, eh, Irish?”The Irishman sent him a look that should have stunned him, but Rudy’s gaze was back on the road ahead as he skillfully manoeuvred the way , avoiding traffic, the sporadic cars and vehicles that were carefully moving in the snow-covered landscape.St Just was staring at the tracking device on his phone, which accurately recorded the movements on the

Chapter: Bianca In TroubleO’Grady flew down the corridor, barely aware of the throbbing in his jaw, where his brother had smashed his fist into his face. the Irishman was panicking.Liam O’Grady loved Bianca, no doubt about it at all. but in that dreadful moment, when that witch, Win Jeng had thrown herself upon him, he had succumbed. In his heart of hearts, he knew that it was because he had been fighting with his demons. Jealousy, because Bianca had so openly championed that lummox, Brick, who had the body of an Adonis…Now he spun his head as St just emerged, his face drawn.“She …she’s gone,” his brother panted, as he leaned against the wall, his voice rasping,“She took off…in the vehicle…Ah, F*CK you, Irish, F*ck you to hell, how could you, man, how…?”O’Grady wanted to sink to the floor and sob. But this was not the time for it, not the time for recriminations and unburdening of guilt. He picked up his phone and began to fumble as he scrolled down…*Bianca was having some difficulty in handling the lar

Chapter: Bianca: DisllusionedThe sounds of the Casino were muted in this part of the building, the rooms housing O’Grady’s large glass covered offices. But time seemed to freeze for Bianca Cruz as she stopped in the doorway, the sight that met her eyes cutting sharp and cruel against the silence she carried with her. Full of disbelief, Bianca’s trembling brown gaze found him, her lover, her Master. Liam O’Grady.And she noted, with a dull , distant shock, that his hands were tangled in another woman’s hair, his lips hungry on hers.Wen Jing, she thought with an ache tearing through her sharply. the woman who had always seemed to be around O’Grady, hovering, like a moth…Bianca had stopped dead, her whole body jolting as if she had been struck, causing St Just, who had come in right behind her, to slam into her, grabbing her upper arms to steady her and himself.He let out a series of expletive as he saw what was happening.From a great distance, Bianca heard St Just calling her urgently,“PET!

Chapter: TroubleBianca had been fidgeting restlessly on the couch, moving to the window, to stare out at the black night unseeingly.It was snowing. A light snow, with a prediction of more to follow as the weather forecaster had declared helpfully. Wrapping her arms around her waist, she stood, waiting for O’Grady.St Just, who was doing his best to stay awake, studied the profile of their Pet, his heart aching for her. He would never tire of looking at her.St Just’s tawny eyes slid lovingly over the curve of her cheek, delicate, yet full of the quiet strength he knew she was capable of. The long lashes fluttered as she lifted her lids to stare outside; the slope of her nose, the curve of her full lips, and her cheek…She was like a porcelain statue, standing there, rigid with tension but so achingly beautiful, he felt his heart swell with love for Bianca.He loved her, he knew he loved her more than she loved him; but it was something he had grown to accept. Wen Bianca looked at the charming, rakis

Chapter: Liam O'Grady tested?Bianca had been alternately hurt and then angered by O’Grady’s remarks; she had stared after him, open-mouthed, as he strode off, the fury in his body evident as he walked away, ignoring baby Cian, who sat in his high chair, stretching out his arms to his parent.He had spoken in such an uncontrolled way, she told herself, biting back her tears as Syl raced out of the kitchen to scoop up the bewildered-looking infant, who sat, his lower lip trembling, preparing to burst into tears. Liam O’Grady had not just been hurtful, he had also been unfair, she thought righteously, trying to stem her sorrow at having been unfairly judged. Finn St Just, the more mature of the two siblings, had read the situation at once. He knew that deep down, O’Grady wondered if there would come a time when Bianca would fall out of love with them. Because Bianca Cruz was smart, beautiful and definitely more intelligent than the Irishman. She had brought in more profit at the Casinos than the Irishman had done
