[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]I glanced down at the softly snoring beauty in my arms,her warm breath tingling on the left side of my chest where long the hibernated organ slowly stirred.I feared for this to happen.Sprouts of hope born from the cracks of my barren heart when she marked her presence in my life now she claimed me completely as hers. She is sleeping half on me.The duvet is going up and down due to her breathing.The few hours earlier moments refreshed.I am not going to regret whatever happened last night.I claim her.How innocently she was staring into my eyes when I was all wild on every ounce of her body in our second and third times of the early hours of mid night.I remove the hairs from her forehead and kiss there for longer time because I want to feel her too close to me thinking about everything that just happened was not the outcome of my frustration and pain.I know the night happened because somewhere in my heart,I started liking her from the very first sight.How cut
[ DESTINY CARTER ]After having the steamiest bath with him I changed into my gown that I wore last night as I don't have any other cloths.I stared at myself in the wardrobe mirror.My lips were swollen and there were many purple black hickeys on my neck side,shoulder and down to my cleavage.The night had left it's print on meto make me recall those moments of bliss.My dress failed drastically to hide those inmost signs of oursolitary night.Destiny you have to face the storm sooner or later.My inner voice said .I took a deep breath and opened my eyes."C'mon Destiny didn't commit a sin only you know what it meant for you so it doesn't matter what other thinks about it or what will be their reaction..you don't regret it.Do you?"I questioned myself and answer I knew.I came out of the wardrobe and found him already dressed in his office attire but his face wore some sort of tensed frowns.I took small steps towards him thus I noticed he was busy on a phone call.He looked at me .
[ DESTINY CARTER ]A week rolled on,life was nearly a bliss after the most memorable night with Stefano,since then we spent all his spare time together though he hardly gets some time for himself. I know something is going on in his secret world but he always avoid the question whenever I tried asking him the reason for his pensive mood so eventually I stopped bothering him,perhaps he will tell me on his own once he feel to share it with me.Second reason for my happiness is,my application got accepted at the academy as Miss Lena was impressed by my own version of her task.I have to thank Vincent for the credit.But right now my concern is Povetta,whom I have been seeing lesser than passing day.She spents most of her time in the confinement of her room.She doesn't go for training.Stefano asked me to talk to her and try to find out the cause of her unusual behavior. And today is the when I'll scratch on the outer layer of her facade.She is not fine and as her soul sister it's my du
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"Alessandro how much time you need?It has been a week since we lost him."I ran my hand through my hairs in frustration.Alessandro who was talking over his phone with his reliable sources to reach to the rat's hole and grab the snake out by its tail,he disconnected the call and walked over where I stood with my raw whiskey."I am trying brother and its not easy if the mastermind is also a De Niro and your worst enemy."Alessandro replied and somewhere he had a strong point."We lost Victor from under our nose Alessandro and do you even realise what damage he is capable of giving me?He won't leave a single chance to propagate in mafias that he slipped from my tight clutch,in fact from my estate's cell and I know who can do it other than Cassius."I know brother but trust me I'll find out as sooner as possible."Alessandro said pouring himself a drink,silence sprawled between us."What have you decided for Vincent?"He asked and I wasn't expecting him to ask me an
[ DESTINY CARTER ]"Cosa sta succedendo dentro la tua principessa di piccola testa?"Stefano asked running his sleek long fingers in my hairs as I rested my head on his naked chest after our steamy make out of three hours.(Whats going on inside your little head Princess?)"Umm no its nothing."I tried to avoid him as his eagle's vision is too sharp to read my naive mind and I don't want to spill anything that was going inside my head its Povetta and her unborn baby."Hey look at me,"He gently slipped his body from me and then made me face him,the unconvinced look on his face was clear evidence of his doubt on my answer so I had to make up a lame excuse to save Povetta from his wrath."I am wondering that how your clan has scarcity of girls.I mean it's weird that in a huge family of De Niros,Povetta is the only girl except the women who are a part of family by wedlock."I put forward a genuine question to divert his mind and I thought it worked as his brows relaxed upon hearing my
[ DESTINY CARTER ]The couldn't be more exciting for me as I got my new way to explore the world outside the confinement of my security circle.I had no heart to take my eyes off from the two shining objects sitting on my study table.As promised Alessandro helped me to operate the laptop and being a curious learner,I learnt how to use the basic functions for my studies.It was around six thirty in the evening,I stretched my arms to relax my aching muscles and glanced down at the phone.My fingers ached to dial him or simply text him to ask when will he be coming?After fiddling with my inner dilemma,I decided to go with my heart against my mind and with thumping heartbeats,I typed my brief message."Hey got your gifts and they are the best gift ever.I can't wait for you to come back so when will you return?"I pressed the sent key and waited for his reply.Five minutes passed but the phone laid lifeless.My heart sank immediately but I thought his life isn't a bed of roses or a bu
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"Are you sure Adam he is coming to this party?"I asked Luca placing the empty cup of my sixth drink on the table as I begun to doubt whether Cassius is going to show up as we waited for him for more than two hours in the rave party thrown by one of the real state broker of the city."He should be here anytime now brother don't worry.My reliable sources informed me that he left his house an hour ago to come here,may be we catch Victor too."Adam replied as we dosguised us properly behind the camouflage glasses of the private chamber on the cruise.Yes,a cruise for a perfect rave party to avoid police and lawsuit.I could only see youngsters dancing,grinding and making out in the smoke filled air and drinks in their hands."As much as love to sell these heroins and other drugs,I hate when these kids waste their lives on something they know killing their character and health of coase."I tore my eyes from the person show of nakedness and a whole generation drowinin
[ STEFANO DE NIRO ]"Great Stefano!I wanted it for so long,us face to face,one is going to be dead and other the next king.We both dreamt for this,don't we?"Cassius took a few steps closer,my grip tightened more on the revolver."Put it down cousin I will fight like a man which means I won't kill you by trapping you so let's finish our business."He said throwing his own gun in the ocean."Don't trust him boss."Luca warned me."Oh please Luca do not be a babysitter for a brave solider like Stefano.We have trained together and he is capable of protecting himself."Cassius said to Luca,who was ready to puncture his body any moment. "Luca..."I waved him to stay back and let me deal with my biggest enemy."Thats like a real man now shall we talk?"Cassius leaned on the metal railing of ship."What has left to talk now Cassius when you have been nothing but a bitch for all your life.If you wished to replace me as the next heir then you could had fount for it like a De Niro men must figh
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
