[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]I walked through the guarded corridors of my mansion earning gasps from all my men,who bowed both in respect,fear and surprise to see me back out of blue because according to the rumors,I was still in the deep coma struggling for my breaths."The main show will begin in the dining hall Boss,"Luca smiled.I could hear faint music coming from the west wing where my dining hall is located.I knew the dinner was about to start at sharp nine,according to the De Niro tradition.It was eight fifty five means my father might be ready to do the announcement. My pace quickened,I badly wanted to see his face when I'll pee on his plans to cut me out of my inheritance."We should wait behind the curtains of upper balcony or just directly land at on the main table?"Luca asked me."I think first option sounds thrilling and heroic.I missed pissing off my father."I smirked while Luca led my way to the upper balcony of the dining hall,I slid the drapes to glance at the hundreds fa
[ DESTINY CARTER ]I didn't feel like to rest in my room as Povetta and Alessandro wanted me to attend the feast just for my own sake.They want me to face the world and gather the pieces of my lost confidence.I als needed the distraction from Gabriella's accusations and missing Stefano.I redo my hairs and took some painkilllers to help the throbbing ache in my head and heading back to the dining hall,as I passed by the main living room that was filled with men running here and there,I bumped into someone.Usually people feel sorry in such circumstances but I feel the opposite,the dwellers here give me only scary vibes and same happened."I am sorry.I should have been careful while walking,"I apologized to the persons without looking up."Oh non scusarsi bella signora. In realtà mi è piaciuto molto il tocco sottile della tua pelle sul mio corpo."A young asculine voice replied in a lust dripped tone,he was drunk.I could smell strong alcohol from him.(Oh do not apologize beautiful l
[ DESTINY CARTER ]I still couldn't believe I was seeing Stefano all fit and fine descending down the stairs like some emperor king with all his glory,behind him were his cousins.My eyes never left his sight but his,darted on the three persons from whom he stole all the limelight.The hall echoed with deep applause.It was crystal clear whom they see as their future lord,it's Stefano and honestly I too don't picture anyone else on his place.Hurriedly a chair set up beside the Capo excluding Cassius for Stefano.All the three faces lost their colors that radiated on a few moments ago.Stefano knocked their plans,specially Cassius.I could hear the sound of his ambitions shattering.Come up from the jokes,like others I too sat straight out of curiosity on my seat to see what was coming next."Grazie mille per il tuo caloroso benvenuto per me."He addressed his guests.(Thank you so much for your warm welcome for me)"So did I miss something?"He threw a question but by the hidden smir
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"Hello again Cara Mia,"Alessandro grinned ear to ear as he swayed our bodies perfectly with the rhythm of music,a person standing far from us can easily mistook us as a couple.I had rested my hands on hid broad shoulders while his slim fingers brushed my lower waist but nothing was unwelcome.Our proximity also maintained."You saved me on the last minute from the leech of a brother of yours,"I blurted out in frustration as well as the kick of alcohol in my body but soon I realised my words.I disrespected his family member."Oh I am sorry for my bad dictionary Alessandro.I shouldn't use that word for him."I looked down,no matter how close Alessandro was to me yet the constant reminder of them being a mafia doesn't let me overcome the fear."Oh don't be silly Mia Bella.He is nothing but a dick so you may call him sensored names.I won't mind it neither do Povetta and Adam."He laughed on my apology and it relived me.He swirled me and I landed on his chest,our breath
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"How dare you let him kiss you Principessa?"I punched the glass wall harshly,it didn't get a single crack but my knuckle was badly bruised yet I didn't care for the pain.I have adapted myself with it."And my dear cousin.He crossed a barrier by touching her let alone kiss her.Do I not make it clear to him in the beginning to stay as far as possible from her?I only commanded him to protect her but the fucking bastard he dared to defy me,he betrayed his boss,his lord and future Capo."I chucked the half emptied bottle on the floor to vent out my anger after I witnessed them hell close to each other.The amber colored liquid puddled near my feet among the scattered pieces of glass.I pressed my temples to suppress the increasing headache."Boss Miss Carter è qui."One of my guarding man informed me.(Boss Miss Carter is here)"Send her in."Within next couple of minutes,I heard soft feminine footsteps entering in the dimly lighted bar area where I seated alone surround
[ DESTINY CARTER ]He kissed me out of blue,at least I wasn't prepared for this coming..but here we are talking about Stefano.Oh Gosh!It will be a sinister lie if I say I didn't like those rough lips devouring my mouth against my permission,heck since when Stefano De Niro asks for permission specially in the case of kissing me.I circled my hand around his nape and inclined my face for a perfect sync though I wanted to push him off,a larger part of me screamed him to take it further."Don't move."He groaned bitting on my bottom lip and next I knew my body pressed on the soft material of sofa and a hard story chest above me.I was sandwiched between sofa and Stefano,his particular southern organ grinding on my thighs.His large palms roaming sensually on my upper body,from northward to my lower back and then he cupped my ass cheeks and gave them a tight squeeze."Ste..fa..no.."I moaned his name loudly clutching the fabric of hid shirt on his biceps.He broke the kiss and raised his h
[ DESTINY CARTER ]I stirred in my sleep as the warm orange rays of morning fell upon my face.I had a peaceful sleep last night,devoid of nightmares but why I don't get a proper sleep since last decade.I didn't need to pressure my lethargic mind much as I felt myself caged into iron grip over my waist and a hard chest pasted on my back.I am in a man's arms.No!not any man's but Stefano's arms.I recalled the scenes from the night and how softly he asked me to only sleep with him but why he wanted to share his bed not expecting sex from me.The man is bipolar.I craned my head carefully not want to disturb his sleep,I took a closer observation of his face.He was sleeping peacefully,no single trace of worry or terror on his handsome face,yes indeed he is the most handsome man I have ever seen,his perfectly carved cheekbones and jawline,thick curled eyelashes.I had a strong urge to kiss his thin lips but I must not cross my barriers specially when he isn't in his senses.Its immoral
[ DESTINY CARTER ]Pregnant silence sprawled over the dining table as everyone eating their first meal meanwhile exchanging looks to one another while I remained a silent spectator to what would going to happen,who is going to tie the bell around Lion's neck."Ahem ahem..brother we need to ask you for your permission."Povetta dared to take the first initiative.Stefano,who was robotically forking his ravioli raised his hooded eye brows to give her a mute signal for what she bothered him."Umm we..I mean Alessandro,I and Adam are going to inspect production in our winery and vineyard and we..want to..actually Destiny want to come along."Povetta blurted in a hurry.What a bitch!She sacrificed my head on guillotine.I choked the roasted bread I was munching,a mortified expression dancing on my face I bet as he threw a sharp look at me if challenging me to spill the beans."Mr. De..Niro..I..I.."I was at short of words.Povetta's unexpected statement took my unprepared ass off guard."
Three Years Later...They were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms,the most comforting place for them when they retired from the chaos of everyday life and when they got a little time for each other since Stefano took over the position of Italian Mafia boss and declared his monopoly over all types of mafia business.No one dared to go against him because defying him means inviting the deathbut the most ruthless man was slave to his beloved wife and children's wish.Destiny's sleep was broken by the piercing sun rays which were falling on her face . She tried to stretch her arms but couldn't as he was caging her into his tight grip.She smiled looking on her handsome husband's innocent face .His messy hairs were giving him a hot look.She could watch him sleeping for her whole life but she needed to get up because it was the day when all family members spend the afternoon together.Adam and his wife Sofia also used to join them as they were running their own steel company in Italy
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]I waited behind the rusty barrels of pungent smelling chemicals for more than an hour waiting for the bastard to appear,my men had their guns aimed in every direction in case we face attack from our enemy."Venite Cassius che hai ratto."I cursed under my breath,the humidity inside a damp area,I was sweating and on the verge of loosing my patience but I knew it wasn't the time to think about my bodily discomfort."We are going in the other room."I whispered to the men."We don't think it's a wise idea Capo,look upstairs.His men are marching with machine guns,our one wrong move can sabotage our whole plan."Marcus replied who was leading the gang.I sighed in frustration.I had no choice but to act on his suggestion as he had faced such attacks before.Ten minutes later,Alessandro's voice floated into my ear through the bluetooth device."My part of task is done brother.Don't worry most of his men won't attack on us so move ahead.""Marcus step one is successful no
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"Are you sure Adam that he is hiding in the closed chemical factory?"I asked Adam for the hundredth time as its been three days we searched for Cassius like hounds in the wilds but all the possible places were clean of his presence means he chose a least suspected place."Yes brother I have kept a close tab around this area without telling you because I wanted to be sure first and last night my spy saw his men entering inside the old factory with daily essentials it clearly means they are hiding there."Adam replied."Hmm he is brilliant in choosing a hiding place but this time he played his best.We can't directly attack on the factory as it is located near the residential area so what is the plan Alessandro?"I looked over Alessandro whose eyes were darted on his laptop screen."Yes brother I was actually analyzing the map of factory and I found a secret passenge through which we can easily enter inside without coming across his first line security circle."He
[ DESTINY CARTER ]I woke up feeling light after crying last night.Stefano was there for me,he comforted me without asking the reason of my breakdown and I felt pampered.Stretching my tensed muscles and climbed out of the bed.Stefano was nowhere to be seen in the room,meant either he used the other room or he might leave at mod night,well were less chances of the latter.Instead of going inside the bathroom,I padded out of the room to look for Stefano,well it was early six in the morning.I found him sleeping on the sofa, his body sprawled.I tiptoes to have a look at him as it was about sunrise and Stefano,still sleeping.His face had crease lines even in deep sleep,he seemed in tension.I don't know what came into my mind,I jerked his shoulder to wake him up,the solo motive was to ask him to sleep comfortably on the bed."Hey what happened?"He tiredly opened his heavy eyelids immediately,creased appeared on his forehead."Good morning Stefano and I am absolutely fine."I played with
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"Come Maisie it's the time,"I spoke hardly as my throat constricted looking at a devastated Maisie sitting on the bench in a corner of the cemetery.She turned like a stone statue,after her outburst at the hospital,she stopped crying and didn't say a word to anyone. Today is the funeral of Luca.Stefano made sure that only the closest relatives of Luca's side attend the funeral to ensure the safety of us and specially Maisie.I sighed in dejection as she didn't flinch so I decided to shake her little."Maisie come let's say a final good bye to Luca."I shook her shoulder gently thus she blinked her eyes to glance at me with no emotion."I can't say good bye to him Destiny.He is alive with me here,"She placed her hand on the left side of her chest,"You should go and join others to ensure his final resting.I am glad finally he won't be bothered by anyone.We can spend as much time as we want.Isn't it the brighter side of his departure from this mortal world?"She sm
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]I kept staring at her sleeping figure.Her serene face had a sheer peace on her angelic face.My fingers ached to trace her cheeks and pointed nose.Her forehead creased,means she had something terrible in her sleep.How could I face her once she will be alright?I made a promise to her and Luca's dead soul to avenge and I won't sit quite until I fullfil my promise.It was four am in the morning yet the sleep was far away from my eyes.Day after tomorrow is the funeral,I want it the most memorable day for her because Cassius is going to meet his doom as well.I want to make our relationship official to the world once I eliminate my last enemy from the earth.My phone's vibration caught my attention.I kissed her forehead and went to the living room so her sleep wouldn't get disturb.It was from Adam.I frowned in worry,it was too early for him to call me unless it's very important.I swiped the green button and held the phone to my ear,"Hello Adam why are you calling me at
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]I sat absent-minded in the balcony of the two storey house of Luca's parents staring down through gazebo down at the tight security of my men,covering the whole area that even if a fly wants to pass,it couldn't without getting aimed by their alarmed guns.But what is the point of all this now.Luca is gone now.I felt my heart clench everytime I recalled his dying body in my arms,blood oozing out of his body.Why?To save me of coarse.I didn't feel like a weak coward man in my whole life before.The man who understood me like no one did has gone forever.My grip tightened around the cup I hold resulting it to break into pieces and I felt some shards piercing through my palm.But the pain was nothing compared to the ache inside of me."Stef what the hell are you thinking?"Vincent's concerned voice laced in anger floated into my ears but I didn't care to look up at him.I heard him suck a deep breath whereas he snatched the broken cup from my hand."Please come with
[ DESTINY CARTER ]NumbThats all I felt as soon as those words left Alessandro's lips.Luca can't be dead.The man has deceived death so many times.The man who never leaves Stefano's shadow even for a second."You must be mistaken someone else for Luca.He was with Maisie at the hospital when we were attacked.No its not him.You can call at the hospital and find out yourself."I said vigorously shaking my head to refuse the truth."I am not mistaken Destiny.Stefano has taken his body to his home town to bury him at his family vault thats why he is avoiding to take anyone's calls."He said,his voice too on an edge."No...no..no..how..how he can die.What about Maisie.Does she know?"I broke down completely,the ache in my heart was too deep and intense.It was only yesterday when we talked more than just two known strangers.The man protected me more than his life. "Shhh calm down Destiny.She doesn't know yet and we aren't telling her either until she recoveres from her after surgery recovery
[ DESTINY CARTER ]I fluttered open my eyes and again closed them instantly as the sharp pain in my head and bright light couldn't let me adjust my frail vision.My whole body was paining like someone pierced a thousand needles in my entire body specially my abdomen area,my throat was dry and burning.I couldn't move my legs.I made a few more attempts to open my eyes and look around my surroundings and finally I did it.I found myself lying on a hospital bed,the room was small,in hospital gown,many tubed attached to my body and a pure white room with blue drapes.All I remember the last night,the car was moving very slowly against the disastrous winds,I was only praying to reach at village safely when all of a sudden another car bumped into our car before our driver could proceed it hit us again,startled by the unexpected attack on us,the driver lost the control of steering wheel and next I remember Stefano pushing me off the slopes as Cassius attacked on us.He promised to come
