My Dad's Mafia Bestfriend
"Adrian, meet my daughter, Lyra. Lyra, my good friend, Adrian."
I stared at the lady in a yellow sunflower dress, her hair up in two buns and her makeup cute and bright, very different from the lady who had gone down on my dick yesterday and sounded so sassy, I thought she produced fire in her body. Yet she was the same person.
"Hi, I'm Lyra."
"Oh, hi, I'm Adrian."
****
When Lyra is sent to Italy to stay with her dad's best friend, Adrian, after his business goes under in New York, the first thing that comes to mind is genuine concern for her father, but right behind it is the wish to fulfill the fantasies she has had about Adrian since she first met him about a year ago.
Adrian isn't having it easy too on his side as he continues to have a hard time keeping his best friend's daughter out of his mind, but will they really be able to deny the fire that continues to spark between them despite the age difference, taboo involved, and the world of the mafia that Lyra's father desperately wants to keep his daughter away from?

Chapter: Chapter 18Bella"Why are you closing your eyes?"I popped them open when her voice asked that question."N-nothing. The water was getting into my eyes."I pushed her back and stood under the water properly to wash the bleach off.I could feel her eyes on me.Fuck.I was wet and hot and bothered, and her staring at me like this was not going to make it any better.We headed back to the mirror, both drenched when I finished with the wash.Now it was time for the dye.Thankfully, I was wearing a sports bra underneath my shirt, so she wouldn't know how hard my nipples were; besides, it seemed like she was nonchalant enough.Like she hadn't felt that.That tension.I washed and blow-dried my hair after the dye had sat a while in my hair, then we were done.Or so I thought until..."We're going to give you a little haircut too."To say the least, at the end of everything, about two hours later, I stared at a different face in the mirror.Short hair, wolf edges, and bangs.It was crazy how talented sh

Chapter: Chapter 17BellaThe next few days were uneventful.Just me, lying around and watching some TV while my captor paced around and did some workouts. She had this gym/workout room in the basement and never had the nightmare episode again.I wonder what could have made me have such an intense nightmare the other night.By day six of staying after my running away episode, I could say my leg was feeling better.It was still painful if I put too much pressure on the injured leg, but not enough for me to yelp or scream.It was definitely getting better."Let me see."I jumped, startled, when my captor suddenly appeared in front of me while I was testing out the level of pain my leg could accept the next afternoon.It was even better than yesterday and less painful now.I flinched when her hands wrapped around it."What? Is it still painful?""No." I averted my gaze.Just... Her hand felt cold against my—I would say warm—leg.I tried to remain still and not have any other reaction as she pressed on parti

Chapter: Chapter 16QuinnI took out my phone to call Jose once I finished washing the dishes."Quinn." He coughed repeatedly and sighed when the episode ended."Are you okay?""Just managing as much as I can."Which isn't a lot.It's crazy how much the sickness had taken its toll on him."And Riley?""She's okay. She hasn't run away in the past few hours, so we can be grateful for that, but I still don't think the operation is a good idea. She seems like she isn't ready for this world at all.""No one is ever ready.""But don't you think you should tell her everything first?"I just felt like she deserves to know, even though I don't normally deal with stuff like this, but there was also the possibility of her crashing out on Jose, which I didn't want.To say the least, I just don't have a good feeling about this, and it was making me anxious."After the operation, I'll tell her.""You're sure."He gave a hum, which we both knew wasn't certain, and cut the call after a few moments.It is dynamic, the re

Chapter: Chapter 15Bella"Here is the plan...""Alessio is as much a party-thrower as he is a general. Father to two children, a beautiful wife..." She pointed to the woman's picture under the guy's picture, "Yet he loves to fuck around.""He has various houses across the states, thanks to his connections and corruption, I'll say, but this..." She sorted out the document to bring on too the blueprint I had mentioned earlier."...is where he would be holding the next party. His birthday party."This was still ridiculous to me, but as long as it's just hacking... right? I could do that remotely but something was telling me that that is not going to be the case.Ugh!"This is the ballroom where the party will be held." She pointed to a section on the paper, "Then this is the passageway that leads to the main living room.""Here, we have his bedroom and study, and that is where our prize is. The study."I glanced at the many rooms and floors sitting in between the main living room and study.This wasn't al

Chapter: Chapter 14Bella"Uhm... A party is the mission?" I made an incredulous face that portrayed just exactly what I thought about that."Yes. A party.""What am I meant to do there? Hack into the DJ's playlist.""And that's the thing about having a short-circuit brain. You just can't seem to think outside the box.""Haaa..." I gasped, flabbergasted. "Did you just call me short-circuit?""No. Your brain."She dipped her hand into the water to test the temperature and turned back to me."Your leg.""Huh?"I yelped and winced when she held my badly injured leg.It felt shattered, which it should, considering how hard that bitch had stepped on it."Fuck!""This is so going to set us back.""Um... You already said that like a million times, and it isn't even my fault.""Oh, you think so? You're the one who decided it was a good idea to run away, yet again!"She laid so much emphasis on that "yet again.""Ugh, whatever!"She removed the shoes on my leg quite aggressively until I yelped again; then she pla

Chapter: Chapter 13Quinn I felt the relief in her composure even before she showed it. She laid her head back on the ground and sighed. Uh-oh. She couldn't be more wrong. I felt angry and betrayed. Who would have thought she would run away after being so complacent and cooperative? I had actually thought we were on the same page, but I guess not. So... I nodded to Aria. She needed to be taught a lesson. "Okay. We have the go-ahead and can start the party." "Wait, what? Quinn!" Her eyes widened in panic as two guys pulled her up, and I cocked my eyebrows. "What? You're the one who chose to do this the hard way." "Quinn!" She had no time to protest before her mouth was gagged with some ropes tied around her feet and leg, and I stood to the side with my arms folded while Aria and her men strapped her to a chair. "Mmm! Mmm!" She protested through the tape even though it sounded muffled. "And... here we go." I watched as the two men brought her chair to a basin of water t

Chapter: Chapter 4Juliette One week to November 15th"Do you think he even knows?"I raised my eyebrows and scoffed at Summer, who asked that question. "What do you mean, does he know? Of course he does; it's our fourth wedding anniversary.""Yes, but you're the one who said he's been getting distant. You've been saying it for weeks now.""It's because he's busy. The company and everything, it's possible to get distant.""Denial is a river in Egypt, my love. Hold that man accountable for his shortcomings and stop making excuses for him.""I'm not making excuses. I just need to get this dinner prepared and have a great night with him. You said you'll take the kids for me, right?"She nodded after a moment."Aw, thank you."She groaned and scrunched up her face when I tried to hug her. "Let's just go make this pasta or lasagna or whatever you call it."I rolled my eyes. "It's spaghetti and meatballs, and you know that."She shrugged and got out of the car, taking her bag with her."So what are we buying

Chapter: Chapter 3Juliette Two weeks to Nov. 15thIt's my stepdad's birthday.One of the days I'd definitely not been looking forward to.No offense, but I wasn't close to him or my stepsister; I had only maintained acquaintance with them because he's the man my mother married.Something I wasn't sure was the right decision.I shook that thought out of my head as I tied my hair up into a messy bun, and I slipped a gold necklace around my neck before matching it with some gold earrings."Hmm, good." I said as I looked at myself in the mirror, and I smiled.The gold went well with the red dress, and the red dress would go well with the black suit I had brought out for James to wear.It wasn't a large event, but I'm sure my stepdad had invited the whole country, if not some paparazzi too.He liked the spotlight, so also Vanessa, my stepsister.I slipped on my heels and carried my bag, taking the steps one by one to the living room, and I did a double take when I saw my husband in a blue suit.Well, he wa

Chapter: Chapter 2Juliette I woke up to an empty bed the next day, the sun shining in and my body well satiated. Fuck, he already left. I had been expecting it, but it didn't dull the disappointment either way. I missed when we always woke up to each other and had morning sex or just cuddled for a while. I stood up from the bed to check the time and almost screamed when I saw it to be eight. Fuck, I knew something wasn't right when my alarm didn't blast in my ears waking me up. The kids. School. I almost tripped on my way to their room to wake them up and paused when I didn't find them in their room. What? Then I heard the chatter. "Mummy, Daddy is making us a sandwich." Olivia said when I walked into the kitchen a minute later to see them crowding around my husband, I moved closer to them, confused. "Sandwich?" My husband moved away from the counter to place a light kiss on my lips, and he whispered when he pulled back, "Good morning, love." "Good morning. Don't you have to be at the c

Chapter: Chapter 1Juliette One month to November 15th"Cinderella moves into the palace with the prince, and they live happily ever after.""Forever?"I glanced down at my three-year-old daughter, who was still very much awake, and smiled."Of course, you know how the story ends.""B-but what if the prince hates Cinderella or argues with her later? Will they still live happily together?"I pursed my lips. "Well, if they love each other sincerely, they can always find a way to work things out. That's what makes any relationship or love stronger.""So we can work things out with Dad..."I cocked my eyebrow. "What do you mean?""He doesn't like us again. That's why he doesn't read to us anymore or take us to bed."I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "He's just busy at work, honey. Daddy loves you, both of you."I glanced at the other bed in the room to see if her twin was still awake.Nope, he was fast asleep."Really?""Yes, of course."I kissed her forehead lightly and stood up after t

Chapter: Prologue November 15th10 pm.The despair finally got to me after one week, the drugs and treatment dissolving my resolve after much resistance and fights, and I actually started to see things in the very white and confined room I was in.The shadows that were always in the corner, mocking me and laughing.You are a failure.You fell for his trick.You are such a fool.I laughed hysterically, mocking myself too because I had seen the signs but ignored them.I had thought maybe I was just overthinking things, but here I was now, tied to a bed while they got to live my life forever."Ha ha ha ha ha," I laughed hysterically again, feeling myself start to go mad as the thoughts ran through my head again, and I scowled when a nurse came in to give me another dose of drug.I wondered what it was.A drug to make me actually feel better or a drug to make me mad.Probably the latter since that is what they want, right?I protested a little, feeling myself resist as she injected the liquid into my blood

Chapter: Chapter 163RayaThe day of the wedding arrived, my dress ready, the makeup artist, and the hair stylist in my room to make me the most beautiful bride ever, and I had the support of my best friend and soon-to-be mother-in-law."My God, you look so beautiful," she said when I finally put on the dress, my hair and makeup done, and I scrunched my face, trying not to cry."Thank you.""I'll be the best mother I can be to you, and trust that you can tell me anything and everything."I knew that already considering the time we had spent together before even getting proposed to and the time for me to walk down the aisle finally came, Maxwell's dad meeting by the door where he was to lead me to the aisle because I had asked him to hold my arms.He was going to be the dad I never had, was already even, and I felt myself tearing up as I finally saw my husband-to-be by the pastor at the front of the little audience.I had only invited the closest people to me, which weren't many. My son, of course, Kendall

Chapter: Chapter 162RayaI was pregnant.The pregnancy kit test had said so, and I had done it multiple times, my heart dropping even lower as each one confirmed that fact, and now I was going to my best friend's house to tell her."You're pregnant?"She looked happy, but should she? I mean, I wasn't sure I was."Why aren't you happy? This is good news, right?"I shrugged, my panic probably showing in my eyes, and she held my hands. "I mean, what if he doesn't want it?""And why wouldn't he want it?""I... I don't know."She squeezed my hand, drawing back my attention to her, and her face looked fierce. "Don't you dare let your past invade your future again. I thought we were past that."I thought we were too, but the memory of William kicking me and beating me when I first told him I was pregnant wouldn't just get out of my head."I don't know Kendall; I'm scared." She pulled me into her arm, squeezing me tight as I let out my tears, and I sniffed loudly when I was done."So what are you going to do now

Chapter: Chapter 161RayaI couldn't believe this.Maxwell had proposed.Like, yes, I had suspected something was up with the way Kendall kept acting suspicious when she took me to the mall from my workshop, and it had basically to get into a new dress, which she said was for an event she wanted me to accompany her to, but guess what? She wasn't dressed up, so which event?My proposal.The thought made me laugh after we pulled away from the kiss and Maxwell stared into my eyes, "What?""It's just... Did you put Kendall up to that? Getting me to dress up and keeping me away from my house."He chuckled at the realization too, "Uhm... Yeah, I couldn't let you find out that I was proposing until I was ready, and did she do a good job?"I shrugged, "Not bad, but I did suspect something was up.""I know, right?"I stared into his eyes seriously after we stopped chuckling and pulled him even closer to me, "I love you."He smiled, "I love you too.""I love you even more."We kept going until he picked me off the

I sat on the chair in my office, having a Zoom meeting with our manager over in South Korea, and he nodded his head."Going well, it'll be announced during the official campaign of the new collection.""Okay good. Send me a final review when it is ready, okay?""Okay sir"I cut the line and I turned to my secretary, who had been waiting for me to finish."So...""The financial report, sir.""Right. Are they ready for me?""Yes sir""Good"I took the report from her, taking a look at it as we headed to the financial department for our meeting, and I had a meeting with the marketing department before deciding that it was time to clock off work.It'll soon be time for Kyle's football competition, so I had to close early."Maxwell..." Raya waved at me from where she sat with Kendall and Leah because Michael was also playing too when I got there and I made my way to them."Babe"I kissed her on the lips lightly, smiling at the small kid tha

Chapter: Chapter 159RayaIt was no surprise to both me and Maxwell when Diane finally got admitted into a mental hospital two years later after injuring her supposed best friend, Tyla, whose relationship she had also scattered, and the world seemed confused by that.Not so much me and Maxwell though, even though it was quite crazy considering how normal she looked.Like, who would have thought she was an unhinged person with issues?Anyway, I made progress in my school, ignoring the scandals and all that always seemed to involve me and my boyfriend, and when I was finally done with it, like, can you imagine, I was finally a graduate in fashion designing, my son and boyfriend were there with me to support me.I walked onto that stage with pride to receive my certificate, and the sight of my son and boyfriend cheering me up in the crowd made me tear up.We took photos when we were out, and my son took photos of me and Maxwell while he carried me into the air.It felt so surreal.Kyle wasn't a little boy ei

Chapter: Chapter 158RayaI couldn't concentrate on anything due to the recent happenings, and I still hadn't heard from Maxwell.It was disheartening.He must be annoyed that I had slept with another person even though I had been drugged, right?I too was jealous about him and Tyla, but the whole matter had died down just as quickly as it had risen up. The people had found something else to talk about.As for me, I hadn't moved on because I was the one involved and the other person involved still hadn't called me.He wasn't picking up his calls either, and his friend had no idea where he had gone.So I got into my car the next day to go back to his house. I'll stop on the way to see Kyle at the family house, then maybe I'll have some more strength to face all this because if I said I wasn't discouraged, I would be lying.Kyle was happy to see me as well as Maxwell's parents, though they had seen the news, so I had to explain everything to them.Maxwell's father seemed to be doing better, maybe because he
