[ 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."
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"Aless this isn't the short distanced way to the winery."Povetta eyed her brother who whose attention had been on rear view mirror most of the time that it started giving me creepy feelings like he is a psycho stalker."Yup you're right big sister.I intentionally took the long one for two reasons,"He craned his head back to look at me directly,"I want Destiny to enjoy her time as much as she want because once we're back to the estate,I doubt Stefano will give her permission to go out except for some girly dress shopping in the sophisticated area of city and secondly our dear cousin has his dogs behind us to make sure I am not hitting on his lady.I did it to distract them so they pass the message to the possessive mammoth.You know how much pleasure I get in teasing him."I agreed on his first reason though,this chance may come once in a blue moon so for me,it was my day.I will thank Alessandro with a sweet treat if Stefano's kitchen staff let me use the kitchen.I l
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"Boss Il cane non parla non importa come lo abbiamo torturato, Adam anche tagliato poche delle dita, ma è una carne di carne spessa."Luca said to me in a low voice,clearly afraid to unleash my inner beast fed on anger.(Boss the dog isn't speaking no matter how we tortured him,Adam even cut few of his fingers but he is a thick beef.)And I was wreathing in anger since morning when the asshole Alessandro presented lame excuses only to join the girls for wine yard tour.I knew what was running inside his head or I say dick.He won't give up on her easily."Boss what should we do now?Only Alessandro Sir know how to dig deepest weaknesses of such motherfuckers."Luca said again but I was too into something more pissing."Sir?"Luca called out my name in a higher pitch which brought me back to the current situation."Umm yeah what do you think is the best way to open hid filthy mouth but I need my answers before I leave and I am leaving in next twenty minutes so now you d
[ DESTINY CARTER ]The horse ride,in other words,the most adventurous thing I did in my twenty three years on the planet.Alessandro is a trained horse rider,during our ten minutes ride to Rossiou's house in the nearby village,he told me many useful informations about horses and their nature and also promise to take me to their stable in their countryside farm house.Only if i could ever get the chance."I could had stepped down on my own Aless,"I rolled my eyes on the countless flirting effort from Alessandro as he scooped me in his arms when we reached at Rossiou's house.All the village dwellers were staring at us in surprise as well as teasing,for a stranger,we could be easily mistaken as a couple madly in love with each other though the reality was far away from that possibility.'But it isn't a lie either.Alessandro De Niro is totally head to heels in love with you.'My sub conscience threw her sarcastic comment for the first time in the day.I missed her bitter reminders.I,along
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"It was hilarious Aless,my brother Alessandro and Destiny,brothers and sisters.My Holy Jesus!"Povetta laughed her guts clutching her stomach inside the bathroom in backyard remincing the statement of Stefano."It isn't funny Povetta.He is your brother and you should make fun of his feelings."I didn't feel right though a part of me churned of the slightest possibility of Stefano being jealous."Really Destiny!"She gave me an expression of disbelief,the grin on the peachy cheeks never fading,"Stefano was clearly instigating him as a form of his punishment.My poor twin had done something very terrible to earn such slow sinister torture."Her eyes threw the indirect responsibility on me."Well still I am not my stand Povetta.You should drop this subject here once we walk out.You won't tease him."I said to her."Here you're wrong girl.I can't miss a golden chance to get into his nerves.You are going to enjoy every bit of this blockbuster movie I am gonna produce."She
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"Should I hang you up to a fisher's fishing hook Alessandro?You are stuck with girls like a worm."Stefnao snorted shooting daggers at Alessandro who,along with I and Povetta sank in the shallow lake water.The water was upto my waist and thr chilling sensation under a scorching sun was total buster.Povetta also requested Stefano and Adam to join us but one glare from the mob boss and his obedient cousin's polite refusal didn't stop us from having the fun of our share."And this worm is harmless around such delicate ladies,am I right Miss Carter?"Alessandro winked at me,I knew he did it intentionally to push his brother's buttons to the extent when Stefano compelled to loose his patience and that's called Alessandro's revenge on his 'sisters' comment."Your sixty minutes are about to up in five minutes and thirty seven-or six seconds."Stefano said glancing at his shiny Rolex watch.Alessandro seemed to give dead ears and swam more into the deep waters.Povetta fo
[ DESTINY CARTER ]We arrived back at the estate after the dusk as Stefano's security warned him to take the longer route because the deserted one wasn't safe anymore.I felt light in heart and only wished to kiss my bed as soon as I enter inside my room.I walled in the deserted corridors in the wing where I stayed,the area mostly occupied by either house maids or the security guards,most of the rooms,I have no idea what is inside them,are permanently locked,only I and Povetta live that too on poles apart rooms.The lights in the whole corridor were faintly illuminated.As I was about to turn the knob of my room's door,a firm grip caught my wrist.I didn't need to startle or let out a scream because I knew who could that person be.His whiskey mixed breaths falling over my temple,as he helped me to twist the knob and enter inside.My heart was already thumping,I am sure,he could hear it'd beats."Sono i tuoi punitori a volta a terra principessa."He whispered dangerously low like he a
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"You're indeed a devil Stefano De Niro,"I winced as my bottom hurt like bitch,sore and swelled by the spanking I got from him as a form of punishment.By the end of the thirteeth spank,I was not in my senses,fogged by the painful pleasure.It was all new and thrilling.His words has been ringing in my ear since last night."This is just the beginning Principessa.I have many ways to make you scream my name on the top of your lungs.""Hey girl I have searched the whole fucking mansion for you and see where the queen is,"Alessandro's tired voice echoed in the empty music room.I sat by the piano table,roaming my fingers on random keys that made weird musical sounds.I heard his approaching footsteps when I didn't give him a response.This man is going to be the doom of me.But why I am giving Stefano a leverage over me?He doesn't own me nor I am his slave.Still I chose to obey him because he is my saviour and never intended to hurt me."Destiny are you okay?"Alessandr
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
